President Brandon Diben was having the time of his life. His party and their mainstream media allies were devoted to covering up his family’s corruption, the exploding national debt, massive illegal immigration and a skyrocketing inflation rate. His advancing dementia was a running joke behind the scenes as well. But he never counted on an uninvited intruder that appeared mysteriously in the Oval Office and began to demand that he resign from office and admit his crimes. When he refused, this cute little strawberry blonde began to make things appear around the nation that not only ...

Martin verspricht seiner Redaktion ein Exklusivinterview mit Moretti. So richtig kennt er ihn zwar nicht, aber was ist schon eine kleine Lüge zur Rettung der Karriere.

Be noisy. Natalie Savage grew up hearing these words from her father, who admired Walter Cronkite so much he named the family dog after him.

The position is only temporary, a test to see if she has what it takes. She has always relied on her grit, her principles and her news sense to gain success.

"Veníamos bien, pero de golpe pasaron cosas", dijo el presidente Mauricio Macri en junio del 2018 ante la perplejidad del pueblo argentino cuando el Gobierno volvió a pedir un préstamo al FMI. En estos relatos delirantes, lisérgicos, casi oníricos, Rosemblat, el Cadete, hace estallar la idea de verosimilitud para proponer que los años macristas quizás sean demasiado difíciles de comprender solo con las herramientas de la realidad.

The High Priests of the Economics profession are a privileged and highly-compensated group. Their speeches are endlessly analyzed, their every public utterance transcribed and disseminated world-wide. Yet they’re often wrong. How can this be? How can a profession that sends one of these high priests to Scandinavia each year to receive a Nobel Prize for achievements in “Economic Science” be so error-prone? The answer is quite simple: Economics, and the social and soft sciences more generally, are not science in the same sense that physics and chemistry and engineering are science. In ...

In this candid first-person memoir, Huckleberry gives you an insider's view of his beleaguered campaign, such as it is: a hilarious clown car packed with an astonishing array of fear-mongering grotesques, xenophobic paranoids, closeted bigots, and rapacious, self-promoting Conservative pundits, all of them poised to commandeer America's future in the name of God and unrestrained capitalism (not necessarily in that order).

The Mueller Report is 2018’s most anticipated release that doesn’t involve Chris Pratt punching a dinosaur, and for good reason: The entire country is waiting to see what former FBI director and current special counsel Robert Mueller has dug up on former mail-order steak salesman and current US president Donald J. Trump. That wait is over - sort of - with the publication of The Mueller Report by Jason O. Gilbert.

A wonderful, warm novel from a major new American voice. In The Art of Fielding, we see young men who know that their four years on the baseball diamond at Westish College are all that remain of their sporting careers.
