Rules to Live By - By Jeffrey Katz


"As useful as Dale Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence People. For any problem you may have in life, be it personal or professional, physical or spiritual, there is in this book, category-by-category and page-by-page, game-changing advice that can be put to good use right away." --Martin Oliner

RULES TO LIVE BY

Maimonides' Guide to a Wonderful Life

BY JEFFREY KATZ

Author of

The Secret Life: A Book of Wisdom from the Great Teacher

"We each decide whether to make ourselves learned or ignorant, compassionate or cruel, generous or miserly. No one forces us. No one decides for us, no one drags us along one path or the other. We are responsible for what we are." --MAIMONIDES

We are living in tumultuous times overwhelmed by many challenges bombarding us from every direction. Everything seems to be upside down and we're confronted daily with the challenge of overcoming good vs. evil. Now comes the guide for living and coping with life's obstacles - RULES TO LIVE BY: Maimonides' Guide to a Wonderful Life by the great religious philosopher, Jeffrey Katz. His new book is inspired by Maimonides, one of the greatest intellectual and spiritual minds of the Middle Ages, who wrote practical truths that are as applicable and relevant to our lives today as they were over 800 years ago and will be for eternity. His proverbs continue to resonate and to be remembered almost a thousand years after his passing.

In RULES TO LIVE BY, he teaches you the basics of these important maxims:

·    In finances, be strict with yourself, generous with others.

·    Silence is the maturation of wisdom.

·    Let nothing which can be treated by diet be treated by other means.

·    The risk of a wrong decision is preferable to the terror of indecision.

·    Lose with truth and right rather than gain with falsehood and wrong.

·    Teach thy tongue to say, 'I do not know,' and thou shalt progress.

·    Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.

Maimonides had much to say about the vital facets of life that all people care about - and must pay attention to - if they are to live a happy, fulfilling life. And his teachings are studied by people of all religions throughout the world. In RULES TO LIVE BY, Jeffrey Katz reveals the insights and lessons from the "Great Teacher" and how to apply them to each area of your life. You'll learn:

·    Why character counts;

·    How to achieve success at work;

·    The importance of family;

·    Why your legacy matters;

·    How to create spiritual connections;

·    Why your attitude matters; and

·    How a healthy body equals a good life.

The words, impact, and insights of Maimonides live on and are still studied and taught today. The strategies and advice of this medieval philosopher have stood the test of time and still may serve as a roadmap to health, wealth, and satisfaction despite the turmoil and uncertainties of modern life. 

"An invaluable guide to how to live a successful, fulfilled and meaningful life in regard to one's work, family, health, and spiritual life. I look forward to providing each of my young adult

grandchildren with a copy." --E. Robert Goodkind

The Political and Strategic History of the World By Lord Conrad Black


The Political and Strategic History of the World, Volume I

By Lord Conrad Black

The great biographer and historian, Lord Conrad Black, is out with his most ambitious project yet: The Political and Strategic History of the World, Vol I. Internationally-known Lord Black is available for beguiling interviews at this time to talk about not only the history of the world, but recent global milestones, which affect us all.

The late Henry Kissinger says of Black's new masterwork:

"Lord Black's ambitious work begins with prehistory and gains momentum with the death of Caesar. It is presented with elegance and erudition."

Lord Black is known for his insightful and profound commentary on the political issues of the day and has certainly made history himself as the former owner of The Telegraph in England, The Jerusalem Post in Israel, The National Post in Canada, and The Chicago Sun Times, along with over 150 other daily newspapers across the U.S., Canada, and Australia. He is, and has been, friends with Presidents Nixon, Reagan, and Trump, Prime Ministers (Mrs. Thatcher in particular), and many of the heads of Europe. He has been persecuted and prosecuted by the U.S. "justice" system and yet, quickly recovered to become one of the most trusted and seasoned voices on the American, British, and Canadian political scene, known for his high intelligence, deep historic knowledge, and good common sense.

At a time when history has become a battleground and politically driven historical "docu-dramas" abound, Lord Black comes to the rescue with a thoroughly no-nonsense account of world history. The first volume begins with the early history of the Jews, Sumeria, Egypt, Babylon, Assyria, Persia, ancient China and India, then progresses through the great historic struggles of the ages: Mycenae and Troy, Athens and Sparta, Greece and Persia, the conquests of Alexander and the wars of succession, the rise of Rome and its struggle with Carthage, and Rome's internal upheavals culminating in the Caesars, and ends with the death of Augustus. Lord Black brings the ancient world to life as few historians have been able to do.

In The Political and Strategic History of the World, you'll learn:

·    How the Bible ties into known ancient history;

·    The historical accuracy of the ancient Homeric battles and the Trojan War;

·    How Greek internecine warfare delayed the development of the nation-state;

·    That Alexander the Great was likely not a homosexual, but his mother was the hellcat of the ages;

·    That Julius Caesar did not destroy the Roman Republic - that had happened fifty years earlier;

·    About the dramatic final days of Antony and Cleopatra; and

·    About the fortuitous rise of Caesar's adopted son, Octavian.

The publisher believes The Political and Strategic History of the World should be read by young people and therefore the kindle version is offered for only $9.99. When all three volumes are complete, one will be able to receive a high-quality education in world history for less than $30. Traditional history lovers will want a copy on their shelves to return to again and again.

"Conrad Black is one of a handful of contemporary historians who could undertake a narrative, multivolume history of world civilization and restore the value of that grand tradition."

--Victor Davis Hanson, The Hoover Institution, Stanford University,

ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Lord Conrad Black is a Canadian-born British peer, and former publisher of The London Daily Telegraph, The Spectator, The Chicago Sun-Times, The Jerusalem Post, and founder of Canada's National Post. Historian, biographer, columnist, and bestselling author, he is a regular contributor to numerous publications, podcasts, radio, and television in the United States, Canada, and Great Britain. Lord Black has published comprehensive histories of both Canada and the United States, as well as authoritative biographies of presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt, Richard M. Nixon, and Donald J. Trump. He is a dual-citizen (Canada and the U.K.) and has been a member of the British House of Lords as Lord Black of Crossharbour since 2001.

The Case for Colonialism By Bruce Gilley


THE CASE FOR COLONIALISM

By Bruce Gilley

"For the last hundred years, Western colonialism has had a bad name." So began Professor Bruce Gilley's watershed academic article "The Case for Colonialism" of 2017 resulting in his new book, THE CASE FOR COLONIALISM. The article sparked a global furor. Critics and defenders of Gilley's argument battled it out in the court of public opinion. The Times of London described Gilley as "probably the academic most likely to be no-platformed in Britain." The New York Times called him one of the "panicky white bros" who "proclaim ever more rowdily that the (white) West was, and is, best" and are "busy recyclers of Western supremacism."

We hear a lot about anti-colonialism these days. It is presented as an unmitigated evil perpetrated by misguided Brits and Europeans against the poor, suffering darker-skinned folk who were exploited - full stop. But what if the story is a very different one? What if colonialism was actually a net positive for the people under colonial rule? What if those countries who threw off all the colonial structures in revolution did measurably worse than those who kept their colonial structures, such as the British legal system and the benefits of trade within the Commonwealth? What if the evidence suggests that people moved into areas of colonial rule to gain those benefits, rather than flee the supposed 'oppression?' What if education was improved, life spans lengthened and prosperity in general increased?

Professor Gilley presents evidence showing not only was colonialism a net positive for the people involved, but that the whole anti-colonialism framework used in our universities is based on very poor historical research, to say the least. Gilley even suggests that much of the suffering in the Third World was actually precipitated by a too-rapid withdrawal of colonialism, and the answer for much of the suffering in the world today would be to bring back the colonial ideal as a civilizing mission.

In THE CASE FOR COLONIALISM, you'll learn that:

·    Colonialism is disparaged today as a way to attack Western civilization;

·    The evidence is clear that colonized countries did better than non-colonized ones and that countries that maintained their colonial infrastructure after independence did better than those which did not;

·    Continued chaos and economic collapse across Africa, the Middle East, and parts of Asia and Latin America show the desperate need for Western governments to encourage new interventions that look like colonialism; and

·    Modern words like "decolonize" are simply code for undermining the basis of democratic, rule of law-based systems and replacing them with premodern systems of group-based entitlement.

Professor Gilley is a lone voice insisting on historical facts and calm reason rather than emotionalism to make his argument. For that he has been the target of a firestorm of abuse. What he has to say is interesting, challenging and sure to upset the woke cry-bullies. In THE CASE FOR COLONIALISM, Gilley responds to the critics and elaborates on the case for colonialism. The critics have no evidence for their claims, he asserts. It is robust no matter which colonizer or colonized area one examines. Patient, empirical, humorous, and not a little exasperated by anti-colonial ideologues, Gilley here sets a challenge for the next generation of scholars of colonialism.

"Bruce Gilley's THE CASE FOR COLONIALISM is, I believe, one of the most important works of history of the last fifty years. In an age of Western self-flagellation, and the loss of civilizational self-confidence, when every ill in the Third World is blamed on Western colonialism, Gilley's courageous work is a welcome corrective."

--Ibn Warraq, Author of Why the West is Best and The Islam in Islamic Terrorism 

"Both those who oppose colonialism and approve of colonialism will learn something from reading THE CASE FOR COLONIALISM, which is a long overdue response from this author to being attacked by a cancel culture mob when he contradicted their ideologies of 'anticolonialism' and 'decolonization.' Here, Gilley replies to his critics plus delivers evidence and arguments for four propositions. That European colonialism had legitimacy. That colonialism delivered real benefits."

--Eric Louw, Author of The Roots of the Pax Americana: Decolonization and white-Africans and The Rise, Fall and Legacy of Apartheid

ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Bruce Gilley is Professor of Political Science and Public Policy at Portland State University. His work centers on global politics, democracy, comparative development, and colonial history. He is also active in defending academic freedom and political diversity in higher education.

FINAL BATTLE: The Next Election Could Be the Last

 DARK AGENDA: War to Destroy Christian America

 

 AMERICA IS HEADING TOWARD THE ABYSS

"Incisive, and timely warning to America to wake up before it’s too late." --Victor Davis Hanson 

"A brilliant take down of the Democrat party." --Larry Elder

David Horowitz, legendary author and activist, has released his greatest and most profound message to the world in his new book, THE RADICAL MIND: The Destructive Plans of the Woke Left. It is both a stark warning and call to arms to protect the country from decline, ruin, and disgrace. It identi­fies the crisis facing the nation as a crisis of faith in the Constitution that has shaped our destiny, faith in individual freedom and accountability, faith in the principle of equality before the law. At stake? Nothing less than the American way of life and the liberty and freedoms all Americans enjoy.

In his latest broadside against the radical left, New York Times bestselling author David Horowitz pulls back the curtain of secrecy and lies and exposes the dangerous methods and agendas of a woke left mob, and identi­fies what a decent society needs to do to keep the country from slipping away, including:

·    Defending families against the intrusion of outside forces, ideological and governmental, which seek to capture the hearts and minds of children to serve their destructive agendas;

·    Stopping radicals from debasing Judeo-Christian values and silencing Christian communities and voices in favor of political state control;

·    Rejecting progressive blindness, including false racist narratives that America is a racist country;

·    Challenging the existential threat to American democracy from a Democratic Party that has made dialogue, compromise, and bipartisanship impossible and uses a corrupt and compliant media to unleash a constant tsunami of hate toward conservatives and ordinary Americans alike; and

·    Renewing faith in the Constitution and in individual freedom.

In THE RADICAL MIND, you'll learn about:

·    American radicals who are supporting the Islamic Nazis' attempt to finish the job that Hitler started;

·    How the left's slander of America as a white supremacist state is an existential threat;

·    How dire the current threat is to America's survival; and

·    How prominent conservatives have praised THE RADICAL MIND for exposing the totalitarian nature of the left.

Read THE RADICAL MIND and join the fight against the destructive plans of the woke left. David says, "The hour is late, and the forces of darkness are upon us. To save our freedoms, Americans must renew their faith in their country, relearn its history, reacquaint themselves with the wisdom of the founders, and reject the siren songs of the envious, the resentful, and the haters of human diversity who have malice in their hearts."

"An insightful, compelling, & ultimately troubling book about the leftist mindset."

--Peter Schweizer 

"The preeminent explainer of the American left and its attempt to destroy America."

--Dennis Prager

War Against the Deep State By Col. Ret. John Mills


"Colonel John Mills' book, War Against the Deep State, clearly lays out the threats to freedom that all Americans face. Action packed, filled with suspense, and laced with actions to defeat our enemies; a reader will be left with no other choice - time to stand up, step up, and speak up!"

--Michael Flynn, LTG (Ret) and Trump Nat. Security Advisor

 WAR AGAINST THE DEEP STATE

By Colonel Retired John Mills

Colonel (Retired) John Mills writes in his new book, War Against the Deep State that the poison of Deep State corruption is a global problem, and America has become Ground Zero. The corrupt Deep State has weaponized the Intelligence Community against the American people; they should have helped identify the Hamas preparation for the attack on Israel. What happened in Israel is coming to America through the unsecured southern border. Chinese military-aged males coming up from Central America and into the U.S. are the vanguard of the attempt to topple America from within. Securing our communities and the White House in 2024 are more important than ever.

But exactly what is the Deep State and how can we defeat them? Americans are learning the answer to this question more and more because of its immense global influence and political sway. If you were plotting global utopianism, would you not target the world's largest superpower, which just so happens to place democracy, liberty, and freedom at the center of its values?

“What if our America, the one that famously has three branches of co-equal government – executive, legislative, and judiciary – has been transformed by the addition of three new branches of government that we never voted for?” writes Ed Martin in the foreword. “What if these branches have unknown, unchecked powers over how we live? What are these branches?”

In War Against the Deep State, you’ll learn about:

·    The unlawful 4th, 5th and 6th branches of government - how and where they began;

·    What average American citizens can do to take back our country;

·    How to use the key battlegrounds in order to take back control from the Deep State: the county council; the election board; the registrar; the school board; the sheriff; district judges/clerk of the court and the county attorney;

·    China’s role in all of this; and

·    What Col. Mills predicts will occur between now and the 2024 presidential election.

War Against the Deep State is a blueprint to shut down the unlawful 4th, 5th, and 6th branches of government that have stealthily developed. We need you, as Americans, to stand up, be counted, and fight for the liberty for which those who have come before you have shed blood. The weapons are not guns and bullets, they are ballots and our voices; and it is critical that we let our voices be heard. Whether it’s facing down the school board crazies or stamping out the obscenities our children are facing from the cult of transgenderism, to stopping the flow of fentanyl, or the cancer of Big Tech, War Against the Deep State provides effective solutions.

We need to protect the foundations of a system that has, up to this point, defended us diligently, but is beginning to falter and fall under the weight of corruption. 95% of the American citizens who want to save the Republic need to focus 97% of their energy right where they live to secure their counties, cities, and towns. The other 3% can be spent on crashing the market capitalization of woke companies and keeping abreast of the national and international struggle. Once the Deep State is destroyed, our Constitutional America will yield the freedom and prosperity for all of us that we deserve.

"John Mills, like Sam Adams in 1775, understands it is woefully inadequate simply to acknowledge that American liberty is under attack by a tyrannical government; John understands grassroots action is the only remedy. More importantly, Colonel Mills educates us on today’s perilous battle space and how to be effective in it... essential reading for American Patriots."

--Blaine D. Holt, Brigadier General (Ret), USAF

ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Colonel (Ret.) John Mills is a national security professional with service in five eras: Cold War, Peace Dividend, War on Terror, World in Chaos – and now, Great Power Showdown and the fight to save our Republic. He is the former Director of Cybersecurity Policy, Strategy, and International Affairs at the Department of Defense. John is a Senior Fellow at the Center for Security Policy. He has seen the corruption firsthand and knows that the battle can only be won by American Citizens willing to get up and fight for their country.
