Oppenheimer's Demon By Geoffrey Simmons, MD

OPPENHEIMER'S DEMON

Nuclear Terror... and the Race to Save a City

By Geoffrey Simmons, MD

Hiroshima, Nagasaki... Chicago?

In his new book, OPPENHEIMER'S DEMON: Nuclear Terror... and the Race to Save a City by Geoffrey Simmons, MD, Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Trainer of Trainers and former member of the Board of the American Academy of Disaster Medicine, also the author of Common Sense and Disaster Preparedness, Dr. Simmons begs the question: If a terrorist nuked a U.S. city, are we really prepared? Our nation's major metropolitan areas have detailed community response plans for hurricanes, forest fires, and other natural disasters. But there is a worrisome gap: pre-disaster community planning for a nuclear event such as a terrorist plot.

Oppenheimer's Demon is a thriller with a purpose: to show how an American city would likely respond to a catastrophic threat, and where that response would tend to break down. Every scenario is built on the author's disaster-medicine expertise:

·    Grounded in real disaster science, not Hollywood: As a disaster-preparedness expert, Dr. Simmons builds the novel's emergency response on actual protocols - how agencies hand off command as the level of the threat escalates, and what a coordinated response really looks like under pressure.

·    The disaster inside the disaster is panic: In a mass emergency, uncontrolled panic frequently kills more people than the threat itself.

·    Nuclear terrorism realistically imagined: Stolen tactical warheads, Geiger-counter radiation checks, decontamination, sheltering away from windows, and fallout dispersion are all depicted with technical care.

·    Triage when the system is overwhelmed: The aftermath shows a health system at its breaking point - 911 jammed, ambulances trapped in gridlock, hospitals swamped.

·    The everyday lessons are real and usable: The novel is followed by a practical disaster-preparedness essay by the author, covering matters like To-Go-Bags, family communication plans, out-of-area contacts, medication lists, and why untrained rescuers so often become victims themselves.

·    A city we recognize: Set in a near-future Chicago strained by budget cuts and crime, the book poses the question every emergency manager quietly carries - are we actually prepared?

Everyone knows about the two atomic bombs dropped on Japan in 1945. But Robert Oppenheimer's Manhattan Project had on hand a third nuclear core. After claiming the lives of two scientists in separate accidents, it was dubbed the "Demon Core" and melted down. Some demons, however, are not so easily destroyed. In Oppenheimer's Demon, when two stolen tactical nuclear missiles are smuggled across the Great Lakes toward Chicago, District Attorney Glenn Winders finds himself the reluctant incident commander in a race against the clock to stop a shadowy terrorist and prevent World War III. His city teeters on the edge of panic, his teenage daughter is swept into the chaos, and the clues that could stop the attack are locked inside the damaged brain of a single dying man.

In Oppenheimer's Demon, Simmons draws on his disaster-medicine background to dramatize a nuclear terrorism event from the inside - the incident-command decisions, the evacuation bottlenecks, the triage, and the human panic that threatens to kill more people than the terrorist threat itself. Grounded in real emergency-response science, from incident command and mass-evacuation dynamics to radiation triage and the psychology of crowd panic, Oppenheimer's Demon is at once a relentless page-turner and a sobering look at how a modern American city would actually respond to the unthinkable.

"No author should be allowed to be as multitalented as Geoffrey Simmons. Oppenheimer’s Demon is a riveting disaster thriller in which both the origin and end of man hang in the balance. Bravo!"

--Stephen Meyer, Author of the New York Times Bestseller Darwin’s Doubt

The Golden Age By Todd Starnes

"Todd Starnes is a fierce defender of freedom and a great patriot. He has seen, and understands, what is happening to our country like few others."

--PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP

THE GOLDEN AGE

HOW TRUMP SAVED AMERICA

By TODD STARNES

With its striking gold-on-black art deco cover motif, THE GOLDEN AGE: How Trump Saved America by Todd Starnes, award-winning journalist, prolific author, and host of Newsmax's Todd Starnes Show, has created a patriotic-themed memento filled with the memories of the Trump Era - revisiting its grandeur and reliving the historic revival that arose. THE GOLDEN AGE, details how President Donald J. Trump led the charge to restore our schools and our families, our sovereignty, and our military. And in this book, you'll find inspiration, encouragement, Trump's special brand of humor, as well as a sense of hope in knowing that the best days of our country await our children and grandchildren.

THE GOLDEN AGE is a tribute to President Trump and his passionate love affair with the 'land of the free and the home of the brave.' He and his remarkable cabinet literally saved the republic. That will be his legacy. And he will go down as one of the greatest presidents in the history of America.

The Biden years were bleak... but just as the American people thought all hope was lost, Trump arose from his palatial surroundings at Mar-a-Lago and announced that in 2024, he would wage a campaign to 'Make America Great Again.' On Inauguration Day 2025, the president resounded a declaration that echoed inside the U.S. Capitol: "The golden age of America begins right now. In recent years, our nation has suffered greatly. But we are going to bring it back and make it great again, greater than ever before," the president declared. "We will stand bravely, we will live proudly, we will dream boldly, and nothing will stand in our way because we are Americans. The future is ours, and our Golden Age has just begun."

In THE GOLDEN AGE, you'll learn:

·    Why Senate Republicans are trying to sabotage President Trump by slow-walking his agenda and pushing back on his signature legislation - the SAVE America Act;

·    What's behind the rise of anti-Semitism within the Republican Party;

·    What the clear and present danger is that Democrats pose to the Republic;

·    Why the Democrats were unable to stop the Communists from overrunning their party; and

·    Who will carry on the torch of the America First movement beyond 2028. 

Perseverance is a word that has defined the United States over the years. Most of us can recall Franklin Roosevelt announcing to the nation about 'a day that will live in infamy'; Walter Cronkite delivering a bulletin from Dallas, Texas; and President George W. Bush standing on the pile of rubble at Ground Zero with a bullhorn. Americans have been tested as a people. Yet in the midst of great tragedy, the United States has always found strength in Almighty God - defender and protector.

President Ronald Reagan said it best: "The greatness of America doesn't begin in Washington; it begins with each of you - in the mighty spirit of free people under God, in the bedrock values you live by each day in your families, neighborhoods, and workplaces." President Trump also understands that if we are truly going to return to The Golden Age, we must return to the faith of the Founding Fathers.

TRUMP IS LEADING AMERICA ONWARD TO THE 'SHINING CITY ON A HILL'

"As President Trump leads our nation into its Golden Age, Todd Starnes has delivered a powerful and timely book that challenges us to be that ‘shining city on a hill.' Read and share this with friends and family who believe in America and want to help keep our extraordinary Republic."

--MIKE JOHNSON, Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives 

"In these pages, Todd masterfully captures the defining moments that have led us to a new "Golden Age of America" under President Trump's leadership. This book is more than a political chronicle; it's a call to renew our commitment to the values of faith, resilience, and justice that make America the greatest nation in the world. When I first met Todd, I knew he was a force to be reckoned with in the conservative movement, and I'm deeply blessed to call him my friend."

--TN SENATOR MARSHA BLACKBURN

The Goddess That Failed By Janice Fiamengo

The Goddess That Failed

Feminism's Unending War against Men, Families, and Civilization Itself

By Janice Fiamengo

In the new book, The Goddess That Failed: Feminism's Unending War against Men, Families, and Civilization Itself by the creator of the series, "The Fraud of Feminism," Professor Janice Fiamengo blows the lid off of feminism. Fiamengo, once a true believer, completing a PhD with specialization in feminist literature and theory, confronted the reality of female rage, false claims, the denial of merit, shattered families, and heartbroken fathers. She saw young men blatantly discriminated against in academic hiring. She came to see that feminism is a false god that leads women to hate by telling them that they are victims. She has spent the past decade alerting humanity to its dangers.

When we think of "feminism," most people in America recognize Betty Friedan and Gloria Steinem as leaders of second-wave feminism in the '60s and '70s. "Women's Liberation" was the catch phrase used by women protesting their confinement in traditional roles. But were they really so confined, and why were they so quick to denounce all men as oppressors, railing against the so-called "comfortable concentration camp" of middle-class life in suburbia, while almost completely ignoring the dire situation of women elsewhere in the world? As we approach the 25th anniversary of 9/11, we should recall that post-9/11 feminists have been far more interested in keeping dangerous illegals in the country and railing against western patriarchies than in acknowledging the profound freedoms and security western men have extended to them. 

In 2017, the Women's March in Washington was a massive protest advocating women's rights, civil rights, and social justice where women like multi-millionaire Madonna expressed her rage at losing her "rights" and privileged actor Ashley Judd made a fool of herself with her "Nasty Woman" speech. They were never able to define exactly what rights they'd lost in America. 

During the COVID pandemic in 2020 and beyond, white men were blamed for allegedly spreading the virus due to fears about their masculinity and women were alleged, in countless news articles, to be superior leaders, more compassionate, courageous, and practical. Men's crucial roles on various front lines were erased as they were demonized and hectored. Hatred of men's allegedly "toxic" masculinity became a common feminist talking point. 

In The Goddess That Failed, you'll learn:

·    What went wrong with feminism: how it moved from a focus on equal rights and equal citizenship to its present man-blaming, man-shaming, female supremacist, victim-focused, anti-western, vengeful ideology.

·    How modern feminism misrepresents the situation of women and men today, encouraging anger and unhappiness in women, suspicion of men, hatred of our culture, and a victim mindset that denies personal responsibility and realism.

·    How modern feminism ignores the problems of men, representing all men as privileged oppressors who deserve to bear the burden of centuries of unfair advantage, resulting in male confusion, withdrawal, and resistance - and, in the worst cases, depression, substance-abuse, hedonism, and suicide.

·    How fathers have long been in feminists' crosshairs, excoriated as abusive, irresponsible, and above all, expendable. Feminists routinely deny that fathers bring anything important to their children's lives and advocate for policies and laws that circumscribe a divorced or unmarried father's right to parent his children.

·    Few feminists are willing to admit that it was feminism, not patriarchy, that paved the way for transgenderism and men invading women's sports... and they are unwilling to recognize that long before a small number of men set out to invade women's single-sex spaces, men's single-sex spaces were deliberately destroyed by feminists without apology.

The Goddess That Failed shows why feminism has nothing to do with gender equality. It is a radical ideology that seeks sexual license, unearned economic privileges, and freedom from adult accountability for women. It enforces economic servitude, shame, and legal disempowerment for men. It impugns male goodness while excusing female wrongdoing; even worse, it encourages women to be their worst selves while telling men that they can never be good enough. Feminism thus destroys the very thing it claims to seek - true reciprocity between the sexes. The path forward must begin with women and men breaking free of the feminist mindset in order to work together to prioritize the flourishing of children in sane, stable societies.  

ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Janice Fiamengo earned her doctorate from the University of British Columbia in 1996; she retired in 2019 from her position as Professor of English at the University of Ottawa in Ontario, Canada. She is the author of The Woman's Page: Journalism and Rhetoric in Early Canada as well as many peer-reviewed articles and book chapters on women's writing. In 2015, she began The Fiamengo File, a YouTube series and later Substack newsletter showcasing the dark side of feminism. She edited Sons of Feminism: Men Have Their Say, a collection of essays about men's experiences, in 2017. She has lectured to many university students and been protested and "cancelled" by the same for arguing that feminism is a hateful, bigoted ideology that discriminates against men, weakens the family, and will potentially destroy western societies' freedom and prosperity. 

Weaponized By Seth Barron

"I've heard few arguments as eye-opening as Barron's connection between suburban up-zoning and open borders – should be read by anyone concerned about the direction of the country and understanding how we arrived here."

WEAPONIZED

The Left's Capture and Destruction of America's Sacred Institutions

By SETH BARRON

Author of THE LAST DAYS OF NEW YORK &

Associate Editorial Board Editor New York Post

WEAPONIZATION OF OUR SACRED INSTITUTIONS IS

HOW THE LEFT DESTROYS WHAT REMAINS OF AMERICA

In his timely new book WEAPONIZED: The Left's Capture, and Destruction of America's Sacred Institutions, New York City-based reporter-at-large Seth Barron exposes the in­filtration and destruction of essential institutions by the progressive Left in order to undermine society and impose its radical agenda upon the American people. Former New York Times reporter John Tierney says: "He traces the anti-carceral Third-Worldism of (New York Mayor) Zohran Mamdani to its philosophical origins and unveils Angela Davis as the secret sharer of the contemporary left."

What is the nature of the threat? Seth says, "I see the Left as inveterately incapable of minding its business. Their blatant warning is always: 'You may not be interested in politics, but politics is interested in you.' The Right always disregards this sentiment, thinking, 'Well, I don't care if it's interested in me; I'm still not interested.' The Left love the idea that it's interested in them; they aren't surprised, because they identify so strongly with politics that they consider it their right to be interested in you and so to mind your business. In other words, the Left includes everyone who is interested in poking in other people's business."

The four essential institutions the Left has infiltrated and destroyed are:

CITIZENSHIP - When did the "American Dream" stop being exclusively for Americans, and has now become an aspiration we owe to everyone else in the world?

POLICING - Why "Defund the Police" is not only dangerous for citizens who want public safety but is at its core a cynical strategy for the radical Left to take over the last public institution not owned by the Democratic Party.

HOUSING - How "density" and "YIMBY" are sneaky ways for the Left to wage war on the suburbs that they see as racist, exploitative, environmentally unsustainable bastions of white supremacy. YIMBY is an acronym for "Yes in My Back Yard," which is a pro-housing movement advocating for increased housing supply, density, and zoning reform to combat affordability crises. Supporters, often opposing NIMBY ("Not in My Back Yard") restrictions, push for transit-oriented development and diverse housing types to reduce high rents and promote equity.

EDUCATION - How the Left unionized education and leveraged its members' dues into an electoral slush fund, froze out parents, gained control of curriculum, and turned school into an indoctrination center for radical perspectives on gender and privilege.

In WEAPONIZED you'll learn:

·    Why "Housing" is on Seth's list of weaponized institutions;

·    Why "public safety?" since the police are considered one of the institutions that are reliably conservative;

·    Why issues like climate change or 'Palestine' have become central concerns of local domestic politics;

·    Why the push for "walkable cities" is problematic;

·    Why the teachers' unions are so central to leftist politics; and

·    That to ignore the radical leftist forces which seek to interrupt, distort, and heave up the American way of life is not healthy for America.

We've often heard "As New York City goes, so goes the nation." Rep. Chip Roy has recently introduced legislation entitled The Mamdani Act which enacts sweeping immigration law changes that would deport, denaturalize, deny U.S. citizenship, or entry to any alien who is a member of a socialist party, a communist party, the Chinese Communist Party, or Islamic fundamentalist party, or advocates for socialism, communism, Marxism, or Islamic fundamentalism.

We must remember that most of the Mamdani type destruction of New York City began with the Obama-Biden regimes when they imposed a radical "whole of government" implementation of the hard-left equalitarian, pro-trans, pr-DEI, open-borders agenda. President Trump has rolled back many of these actions, but New York City still remains the example for the world to follow - it was the first capital of the United States, and despite its recent socio-political collapse, one has strong hopes that the city will rise again and prove worthy of its magnificent history.

"Society is defined by its institutions, broad systems that govern how we live. These institutions are informed by shared norms and values and represent an implicit mutual agreement among members of a society that things are run one way and not another. Controlling the operation of the four institutions is key to controlling the country. My goal in writing this book is to look under the hoods of these apparatuses, get a sense of how they work politically, and show how the Left has already warped the American way of life to the point where it may be unrecognizable, if not unrecoverable."

The Rainbow Chaser by Bob Livingston

THE RAINBOW CHASER THE MAN WHO GAMBLED FOR SUCCESS AND BROKE EVEN BOB LIVINGSTON Former Member U.S. House of Representatives Fighting Abuses of Power, Weaponized Lawfare and the Tyranny of the Deep State The Inspiring Story of a True American Who Fought for His Good Name... AND WON Former Congressman Bob Livingston has a warning for all Americans: "Lawfare is a weapon that is destroying the United States and ruining people's lives. The politicization of the judicial system must end now!" In his new book, The Rainbow Chaser: The Man Who Gambled for Success and Broke Even, Livingston exposes the abuses of power and the weaponization of the judicial system that almost destroyed him, his company and staff, his family, and many more innocents. Lawfare has been with us since the inception of the country. Both Democrat and Republican prosecutors and investigating agents have misused their authority to pursue otherwise innocent victims over time. But many American citizens don't realize it was the arrival of Hillary Clinton at the White House that was when the practice was refined in tandem with her efforts to pursue all those who offered public criticism about her husband and the Clinton Administration. She was and is as corrupt as anyone in American politics. Her "war rooms" in the White House, the Senate, and at the State Department sowed the seeds for ongoing corruption within the Department of Justice. Former Attorney General Merrick Garland, once denied a seat on the Supreme Court, adopted the practice of incredible abuse of the American judicial system with relish to accommodate the horribly corrupt Biden presidency and the Democrat agenda. AG Garland was unrestrained in his persecution of innocent Americans, be they protestors at school board meetings, religious and right to life advocates, non-violent January 6'ers, current and former Republican Members of Congress, and last but certainly not least, the past and current President of the United States, Donald J. Trump. Livingston's much praised first book, The Windmill Chaser, is a gripping and inspirational memoir recounting his life and work through his days in Congress and work with the Robert Livingston Group. Now, The Rainbow Chaser serves as its much-anticipated sequel - an indictment of corrupt political warfare being waged on the innocent, and rejection of abuses by specific individuals in the Democrat Party who transgress the American Constitution for political and personal ends.  As a former prosecutor and assistant U.S. Attorney at the DOJ in New Orleans (who worked with the FBI), Livingston is the exact right person at the right time in history to wage a war of righteous integrity on abuses of the judicial system and bring those guilty of breaking the law for personal gain to justice. In The Rainbow Chaser, Bob offers solutions to this national disgrace, including pushing Congress to waive all immunity from prosecutors or investigators who without probable cause target and persecute individuals for personal or political reasons. And once provided full due process, such persons should be held accountable civilly or criminally for misusing their awesome power of state over an individual. Roughly defined as the use of legal action to cause problems for a political opponent, "lawfare" has become a term familiar to us all (after we witnessed the many cases brought against Donald Trump) - that makes our hearts skip a beat, like receiving a letter from the IRS. As Former Rep. Bob Livingston details in this deeply personal memoir and manifesto, it's more lethal than we can imagine; the concept bears devastating consequences for innocent victims. Today, American leaders have manipulated elements of government, academia, education, and media to literally "cancel" victims by charging, arresting, impoverishing, and even imprisoning opponents of the woke deep state. President Donald Trump wasn't the only victim of lawfare and the deep state; many innocent people have become trapped in the snares of unjustified prosecution. In The Rainbow Chaser, Livingston exposes the corruption, defends the innocent, and condemns the politics of destruction. It is both a celebration of one man's American dream fulfilled, and a warning that unscrupulous political opponents, the deep state, and the "woke mob" are a clear and present danger to all Americans and must be fought and vanquished. "This is a superb book - beautifully written, engaging, and punchy. It tells Bob Livingston's own great American story, gives an inside view of historical events, and provides a trenchant analysis of two phenomenon that are corrupting our justice system - lawfare and the thuggish behavior of certain prosecutors fixated on headhunting rather than justice." --William P. Barr, former Attorney General "A compelling memoir of the life and career of one of the most influential figures in Washington over the last several decades... essential and riveting... tells us what's at stake if we do not rein in America's out-of-control lawfare." --Mollie Hemingway, editor in chief of The Federalist ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Bob Livingston is a founding partner of the Livingston Group and a distinguished former Republican member of Congress from Louisiana. Prior to his 12 terms in the U.S. House of Representatives, Livingston practiced law and served as a prosecutor at the federal, state, and local levels. Livingston is the author of The Windmill Chaser: Triumphs and Less in American Politics.

WOKE By Dr. Jon Mills

WOKE: A Critique of Social Justice Ideology

By Dr. Jon Mills

"Professor Mills has been on the front lines of psychotherapy and his urgent dispatches reveal how social justice imperatives have infected therapists' ideas about the causes of patient suffering and corrupted their treatment practices."

--Sally Satel, MD, Yale University School of Medicine

Most of us have observed, or been subject to, victim ideology run wild. Dr. Jon Mills, Canadian philosopher, psychoanalyst, and retired clinical psychologist, has written a new book called WOKE: A Critique of Social Justice Ideology, which brings together a high-powered cast of liberal scholars who break new ground in the emerging discipline of "Critical Woke Studies" - the study of cultural progressive extremism.

The contributors apply a sophisticated centrist lens - drawing on intellectual history, analytic philosophy, and the sociology of institutional capture - to interrogate the excesses of left-wing race and gender activism. They follow the trail of progressive fundamentalism from its deep roots in postmodernism and critical theory toward its institutional manifestation in the form of DEI activism in universities, professional bodies and other elite spaces.

Critical Social Justice or woke-ism is a relatively new phenomena that has dominated the recent culture wars since the antiracism movement intensified in the wake of BLM's hero and mascot, George Floyd's, death. In this volume, internationally acclaimed cultural critics, social political theorists, psychologists, philosophers, behavioral scientists, and scholars of humanities examine contemporary issues in social critique that address a myriad of topics including:

·    Critical Race Theory (CRT)

·    Identity Politics

·    Decolonialism

·    Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Movements

·    Whiteness Theory

·    Gender Critical Feminism

·    Transgenderism

·    Cancel Culture

·    Antizionism/Antisemitism

·    The Free Speech Debate

·    Political Authoritarianism

This is the first book of its kind to offer a scholarly critique of the social justice ideology that has saturated our modern times, stoked by polarization and societal division, fomenting discord, radical politics, censorship, and new forms of fascism.

WOKE will be of interest to cultural theorists, philosophers, political scientists, journalists, media studies, psychologists, sociologists, anthropologists, psychoanalysts, religious studies, popular culture, and those generally interested in the humanities and social sciences. Anyone concerned about the cultural vandalism of Critical Social Justice should read this book.
