Radical Son (new edition) by David Horowitz

 

RADICAL SON: A Generational Odyssey

By David Horowitz

Radical Son: Second Edition by David Horowitz is one of the most compelling and important political memoirs in recent American history - republished after more than twenty years with a new introduction by the author. In a narrative that possesses both remarkable political importance and extraordinary literary power, David Horowitz tells the story of his startling political odyssey from sixties radical to nineties conservative. 

A political document of our times, Radical Son traces three generations of one American family's infatuation with the radical left from the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 to the collapse of the Marxist empire six decades later. David Horowitz was one of the founders of the New Left and an editor of Ramparts - the magazine that set the intellectual and revolutionary tone for the movement.

In the new edition of Radical Son, you'll learn:

·    The deep divisions that divide our country now began in the Sixties;

·    The violence that tore up our cities this past summer and the coddling of black criminals began in the Sixties. A murder committed by the Black Panthers ended my life in the left; and

·    The leftward shift of the Democrat Party began with the riot that Tom Hayden staged at the 1968 Democrat convention after which he led the anti-American left into the Democrat Party. This left took over the Democrat Party with the election of Barack Obama in 2008.

From his vantage point at the center of the action, he populates Radical Son with vivid portraits of people who made the radical decade, while unmaking America at the same time. This painful and difficult journey from Left to Right has made Horowitz the most hated ex-radical of his generation. In telling his story, he provides not just an intimate personal account of his own transformation, but a scathing moral history of the American left, and a guide to the evolving political conscience of an entire generation.

"David Horowitz’s political pilgrimage from a Sixties radical to a Reagan conservative - and the friends and enemies he has made along the way - makes for a very interesting, very compelling story. Speaking as a conservative: it's much better to have David Horowitz with you than against you. Radical Son demonstrates why."

--William J. Bennett, Author of The Moral Compass

13½ REASONS WHY

NOT TO BE A LIBERAL

AND HOW TO ENLIGHTEN OTHERS

By Judd Dunning

The answer is in the new conservative playbook, 13½ Reasons Why NOT to be a Liberal and How to Enlighten Others by Judd Dunning, a definitive guide to persuasive facts and arguments that detail the policies, accomplishments, and often-ignored compassionate nature of the conservative philosophy.

Presented in an easy-to-access format, Judd Dunning's ideological treatise will empower readers not only to hold their own in an argument with a Liberal, but also to change hearts and minds, or at worst, preserve a few more mutually respectful relationships with more ease, clarity, and dignity.

In 13½ Reasons Why NOT to Be a Liberal, conservatives will find the perfect facts and figures to win the debate on all the hot-button issues important to freedom-loving Americans, and will learn how to successfully and intelligently enlighten liberals with these facts and more:

Thought Criminal By Michael Rectenwald

 

The "1984" of the COVID Era

THOUGHT CRIMINAL

By Michael Rectenwald

NYU Professor of Liberal Studies, Michael Rectenwald has written the "1984" of the COVID Era: Thought Criminal. In his 2019 book, Google Archipelago: The Digital Gulag and the Simulation of Freedom, Professor Rectenwald argued that the real danger posed by Big Tech is not digital capitalism as such, but leftist authoritarianism. Thought Criminal explores not only big tech, but also social media censorship, media propaganda, the virus, the vaccine, and collectivism. Most importantly, it shows what could happen to a society so eager to comply with tyrannical rules and regulations that defy common sense.

In Thought Criminal, a distinguished Professor of AI-neuroscience and Theory of Mind has dissident thoughts. He differs from acceptable opinion on matters of grave importance to respectable Human Biologicals and the Federation of Pandemos, the global state. Upon confessing his divergent theories to a graduate student assistant, his life is never the same. He is labeled a "Thought Deviationist," among other damning designations. He is arrested by a robot police agent and soon released but remains a covert "Thought Deviationist" living under the constant fear of future arrest, the treachery of friends, and the loss of his identity.

Thought Criminal's "Thought Deviationist" character discovered that the ultimate threat is posed by the Collective Mind and submission to the virus spells the obliteration of the self. Resistance to the virus means living as a fugitive of the law and being forever hunted by robot police agents to be taken in for "treatment."

·    The novel is set in a near-future dystopia where personal robots keep constant surveillance and report any conversations or actions that reflect dissident thinking; where Smart Cities track your every move; where a massive, centralized database, known as Collective Mind, threatens to regulate all thinking and obliterate individual identity.

·    The main character, 48, has lost his prestigious position as professor of the Theory of Mind and AI-Neuroscience at Transhuman University in Santa Cruz, Region of California, after expressing his dissident views about the virus and its role in connecting the neo-cortex of subjects to Collective Mind. This transgression has earned him registration as a Thought Deviationist and Vaccine Resistor, and thus he is hauled in by robot law enforcement agents to the Essential Data complex, which houses the most important processors of Collective Mind.

·    Not simply "a system of control imposed by an independent entity," Collective Mind is a system that is "only possible when a collective becomes complicit in its own subjection and when the subjects impose subjugation upon each other."

The novel treats the possibility, or lack thereof, of retaining one's humanity and individual identity in the face of transhumanism and a technologically enforced collectivism. Think about this in the context of the current state of the world today, in which a disturbing number of the population eagerly complies with useless, authoritarian mask mandates, social distancing, and vaccine compliance, and angrily shames those who do not comply.

Michael Rectenwald has written a thought experiment for our time, the '1984' of the COVID era, where we can step back and view today’s America for what it is: a society infected not by a virus but by collective hysteria. Thought Criminal explores the meaning of individualism in an increasingly collectivist society, where our thoughts are not our thoughts but those infused in us by the media and the Collective Mind, and the very notion of free will becomes a distant memory. This is fiction that makes us think and makes us dream. --Kenneth R. Timmerman

ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Michael Rectenwald is a recently retired Professor of Liberal Studies at New York University, where he taught cultural and social history as well as academic writing since 2008. The author of ten books, Rectenwald is a prominent spokesperson for academic freedom and free speech and an expert on the history and character of the ‘social justice’ movement.

Life is Winning By Marjorie Dannenfelser

 

LIFE IS WINNING

Inside the Fight for Unborn Children and Their Mothers

By Marjorie Dannenfelser

President of Susan B. Anthony List

National Co-Chair of the Pro-Life Voices for Trump Coalition

With an Introduction by Vice President Mike Pence

and Foreword by Sarah Huckabee Sanders

In her new book, Life is Winning: Inside the Fight for Unborn Children and Their Mothers, Marjorie Dannenfelser, President of Susan B. Anthony List and leading architect of the pro-life strategy that helped propel then-candidate Donald Trump to his stunning victory in 2016, gives inside perspective on how her own pro-life conversion – and the President's – resembles the national sea change happening today, and why the end of abortion and restoration of life in America is closer than ever before.

Life is Winning gives readers an inside look at:

·    How the pro-life cause went from an orphaned political "problem" to a winning issue embraced at the highest levels of the Republican Party;

·    The small-but-ambitious group of pro-life women who took on Washington's consultant class and built a multimillion-dollar campaign and lobbying powerhouse with more than 900,000 grassroots members nationwide;

·    How the debate over partial-birth abortion flipped the script by unmasking the extremes contained in a lawmaker's endorsement of a woman's right to "choose"; and

·    How the Left's unspeakably cruel, hollow, and out of date rhetoric about "choice" and "women's bodies" was exposed with the passage of the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act.

Ahead of the pivotal 2020 elections, momentum is building across America to revisit the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that struck down laws protecting unborn children and their mothers nationwide. As Sarah Huckabee Sanders writes in the foreword, "The test of any civilization is how it treats the least among us, and defending life is what makes America special." Life is Winning makes the case that the pro-life movement in America has never been stronger and provides lessons for all conservatives on how to build coalitions that win elections and change national policy.

"It has never been more critical for each of us to continue to stand up and speak out... this important book will encourage and inspire."

––Vice President Mike Pence

"Life is Winning proves that we don't have to compromise our pro-life principles or stay silent about the things that matter most."

––Former White House Press Secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders

ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Marjorie Dannenfelser is president of Susan B. Anthony List, a national pro-life group with a mission of ending abortion by electing leaders and advocating for laws that save lives. Dannenfelser has been profiled in The New York Times, The New Yorker, and The Washington Post, among others. She was named one of Politico Magazine's Top 50 Influencers and is counted among The Washington Examiner's top 10 Political Women on the Move, Newsmax's top 25 Most Influential Republican Women, and among Newsweek's top 10 Leaders of the Christian Right.

Socialists Don't Sleep By Cheryl Chumley

 

SOCIALISTS DON'T SLEEP

Christians Must Rise or America Will Fall

By Cheryl K. Chumley

 If America is to be free, America Needs Christians to get louder!

In her new book, Socialists Don't Sleep: Christians Must Rise or America Will Fall, a blunt assessment of the deep danger America is facing from the left, award-winning journalist, Washington Times columnist and bestselling author Cheryl K. Chumley exposes all the sneaky ways the secular left has pressed socialism into American politics and life - and why Christians are the only ones who can stop it.

At stake are the freedoms Americans cherish, unless we act now. The great hope for this nation lies in going back to the founding principles of America - Christian principles.

In Socialists Don't Sleep, you'll learn:

·    Socialists have been sneaking their policies into America for decades;

·    The left has been cleverly thrusting America down a socialist path in part by playing with rhetoric - by redefining words, softening language, and this has allowed the goal post of what it means to be an American;

·    Chaos and confusion are keys that open the door to socialists. If they can destabilize society, they can argue big government is necessary to stabilize;

·    The seeds of socialism need to be recognized, then unplanted, before taking root and spreading;

·    Our public education system is in shambles and it's filled with card-carrying, dues-paying, socialist-communist-collectivist supporting members of the DSA; and

·    Christians are especially well placed to fight socialism for many reasons; namely, because A) they understand what the founders understood - that humans are born into sin and need a power higher than government to instill morality and B) they naturally extend the idea that Jesus was no respecter of titles into American society, which emphasizes individuality and presses forward individual rights.

In Socialists Don't Sleep, Chumley takes you through all of the ways that Democrats and the radical left are planting dangerous seeds of socialist principles into our everyday life, including public schools that teach America is not exceptional; politicians who support entitlements, not hard work, to get elected; and a generation raised without God, or with a god that can be whatever is wished at the time.

It's only through God, then - by reeling back the entitlement mindset and insisting on a government that humbly, honestly and properly serves, not regulates and rules - that socialism in America can be defeated. Socialists Don't Sleep lays out the problems and then offers clear guidance for both short- and long-term solutions to rid the country of socialism. And we need to do it quickly, with bold determination and fearless focus. Why? Because socialists don't sleep. Socialists don't quit. Socialists don't abandon the battlefield. We must grab them early and stop their un-Americanism.

ONWARD, CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS!

"Points out the roots of what's gone wrong in America, how we can get our country back on track to what founders envisioned and the Judeo-Christian community that holds the key to America's long-term successes." - GOV. MIKE HUCKABEE

"Chumley points out we can't root out socialism unless we first address the real problems." - Michael Savage

"Cheryl Chumley reminds us of the founding principles and calls on those who still believe in them to engage the failed policies and ideology of socialism and atheism and to fight back." - Cal Thomas

It's Time to Let America Work Again By Andrew Puzder

 

It's Time to Let America Work Again

By Andrew F. Puzder

Trump Nominee for Secretary of Labor, Andrew F. Puzder's new Broadside, It's Time to Let America Work Again, tells us that as we begin the process of reopening our economy, it is critical that we get back to work. The economic shutdown was intended to slow the spread of a lethal virus, not to permanently sacrifice our freedoms - and certainly not to expand government power and "fundamentally transform" America.

During the shutdown, we’ve learned what that transformed America would look like, and it is ugly. With millions of people out of work and dependent on government - lacking the dignity of a job, the security of a paycheck, or the opportunity for a better future - depression and despair are creating an "epidemic within the pandemic" of suicides and drug and alcohol addiction.

In It's Time to Let America Work Again, you'll learn:

·    If the government keeps its heavy hand on the economy, we may never fully recover.

·    Don’t forget, unlike the Great Recession, the current economic crisis is not due to speculation or excessive risk taking by businesses, investors, or our financial institutions - but rather a government-driven economic shutdown. The aid it receives is not a bailout. Rather, it is compensation for the government completely taking away its ability to operate.

·    President Trump and Congress's response does not demonstrate the need for big government beyond the crisis.

·    The recipe to restore the best labor market in history is simple: regulatory relief, certainty, and tax policies that allow individuals and businesses to keep most of what they earn.

While there are risks, if we follow safety protocols and protect the vulnerable, we can safely reignite our economy as we undo the lockdown, eliminate policies that discourage work and enact policies that encourage hiring and growth. It’s time to reject the transformation to permanent government dependence and return instead to individual freedom and prosperity.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Andrew F. Puzder is a Senior Fellow at the Pepperdine School of Public Policy. He is the former CEO of CKE Restaurants, Inc. and was President Trump first nominee for Secretary of Labor.

Parkland Shooting Parent Andrew Pollack Launches School Safety Grant Program to Dramatically Improve Emergency Response Times

Parkland Shooting Parent Andrew Pollack Launches School Safety Grant Program to Dramatically Improve Emergency Response Times

Parkland shooting parent and school safety reform advocate Andrew Pollack is launching School Safety Grant, a new organization that awards security technology solutions to school districts, houses of worship, and police departments across America with the objective of reducing response time and saving lives in an emergency.

The first grant recipients, who were featured on Good Morning America today include Coral Springs Police Department, Coconut Creek Police Department, Chabad of Coral Springs, and a local area charter school.

Grants provide security software and implementation

valued at up to $40,000 per location

Administered by a grant selection committee composed of school shooting survivors from Columbine and Santa Fe, parents of students from Parkland and Sandy Hook, law enforcement officers, and career educators, the grant program aims to enhance school security and ultimately save lives through advanced software and connectivity technology that directly links law enforcement with facility security systems. The committee awards grants on a rolling basis.

To apply for a grant, schools, police departments and places of mass gatherings can submit their information for evaluation by the School Safety Grant selection committee. Those awarded a grant are provided with full implementation of ALERT, a software app which reduces response times in an active shooter situation or other emergency while providing law enforcement with actionable intelligence. Implementation through the grant includes installation, training, and perpetual license fees.

The value of each grant, which may range from $20,000 - $40,000 depending on installation needs and the specific software bundled with the ALERT app for each awardee, is based on an independent valuation of the software, implementation and training provided through each award. Schools and mass gathering establishments then pay a small monthly maintenance fee following deployment which allows for ALERT to be constantly upgraded and maintained while being offered to law enforcement entities at no charge.

"School Safety Grant exists to implement technological solutions that accelerate response times in an active shooter situation, providing law enforcement with the actionable intelligence proven to save lives," said Pollack. "Ever since my daughter was murdered, I’ve been looking for common sense, low-cost school safety solutions. After meeting with countless technology innovators and existing manufacturers, I’ve found what I believe to be the best platform for the expansion of security capabilities and connectivity."

The School Safety Grant program is powered by the ALERT (Active Law Enforcement Response Technology) platform that integrates video surveillance systems, access control systems and public announcement systems with local police departments. The platform is designed to be used in conjunction with technology from multiple third-party applications. To learn more, please visit www.SchoolSafetyGrant.org.

About School Safety Grant Program: The www.SchoolSafetyGrant.org program is focused on making the latest technologies available to school districts and other organizations throughout the United States. With the support of best of breed, leading school security solutions providers, the program hopes to ensure that facilities have access to practical technology solutions for mitigating violence. Educators, law enforcement and others are encouraged to apply for grants using the online application at www.SchoolSafetyGrant.org.

After he suffered the tragic loss of his daughter Meadow in the 2018 attack on the Parkland School, he dedicated his life to making schools safer for students and staff.
