Renewing America and its Heritage of Freedom By Gerard Lameiro, Ph.D.

Renewing America and its Heritage of Freedom What Freedom-Loving Americans Can Do to Help By Gerard Lameiro, Ph.D. Author, philosopher and economist, Dr. Gerard Lameiro, answers the really important questions facing America today in his powerful new book, Renewing America and Its Heritage of Freedom: What Freedom-Loving Americans Can Do to Help. In his new research, he sought to find out how America has been sliding into a sinkhole of moral, political and economic turmoil and near-bankruptcy and, more importantly, how we can fix this terrible mess for the sake of our children and grandchildren. America is now entering the 2014 Congressional elections in a state of anxiety, confusion, apprehension and insecurity. We're faced with terrible problems on a local and national scale - racial rioting in Ferguson, Missouri; illegal immigrants flooding across our unprotected borders by the hundreds of thousands; the Fast and Furious program that put weapons in the hands of narco-terrorists which lingers in our memories; the Ebola virus on the horizon apparently spilling into our nation; the shameful care and many deaths among our loyal veterans at the VA; the yet to be resolved Benghazi fiasco; and our military forces dissipated around the world, as our foreign policy is shattered across the globe. American citizens are becoming more and more disillusioned by a corrupt government as they witness the political targeting of conservative groups at the IRS, ObamaCare in a state of utter upheaval, religious liberty threatened for the first time in American history, the national debt skyrocketing past $17 trillion and going higher, and, of course, the breakdown in the rule of law and widespread lawlessness as many of our Constitutional liberties are trampled on daily. But there is hope on the horizon. Renewing America and Its Heritage of Freedomis possibly the most important and comprehensive book ever written on America's heritage of freedom. It starts by recognizing God as the author of liberty and builds a substantial and solid moral case for freedom. It shows clearly and concisely how truth, human dignity and morality are inextricably linked to freedom. It presents the architecture of freedom, and wholeheartedly celebrates American exceptionalism. In Renewing America, Dr. Lameiro explains: The 25 essential components of freedom necessary to maintain a free nation, including: the 5 components of religious freedom, the 7 components of political freedom, the 10 components of economic freedom, and the 3 components of the freedom of living. How America is losing freedom, highlighting key laws, Supreme Court cases, monetary and fiscal policies and the avalanche of rules and regulations that have played a part in chiseling away at Americans' freedom. A new vision and strategy to renew America and its heritage of freedom, including: 5 strategic goals, 7 tactics to help make a major difference for the future of America, and 5 actions freedom-loving Americans can take to help. In Renewing America, you'll find the answer to the basic question: "What can I do to help America?" It should be read by citizens all across America and shared with family, friends, church and synagogue members, as well as colleagues in the workplace. It is an antidote for frustrated and depressed Americans who are beginning to succumb to the onslaught of progressive socialists and power grabbers. Dr. Lameiro tackles these challenges head-on. He doesn't sugarcoat his solutions; he takes on the issues directly with strength and courage. His well thought out plan for America inspires enthusiasm, energy and empowerment for Americans not felt since President Ronald Reagan was in office. About the Author: Gerard Francis Lameiro Ph.D. is a philosopher, economist, and an expert in economic growth and computer modeling. He is the author of America's Economic War and Choosing the Good Life.Dr.  Lameiro was the Founder and CEO of Lameiro Economics LLC, a company focused on bringing practical economic knowledge about freedom, economic growth and prosperity to America and to the world.  He was also a member of Hewlett-Packard's Strategy and Corporate Development team.

The First Family Detail By Ronald Kessler

EXPLOSIVE NEW BOOK FROM

INVESTIGATIVE REPORTER AND NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR RONALD KESSLER TO EXPOSE THE SECRET LIVES

OF OUR NATION'S LEADERS

Since publication of his New York Times bestselling book In the President’s Secret Service in 2009, award-winning investigative reporter Ronald Kessler has continued to penetrate the wall of secrecy that surrounds the U.S. Secret Service, breaking the story that Secret Service agents who were to protect President Obama hired prostitutes in Cartagena, Colombia in April 2012 and revealing that the Secret Service allowed a third uninvited guest to crash a White House state dinner in January 2010.

Now, in his highly anticipated new book, THE FIRST FAMILY DETAIL: Secret Service Agents Reveal the Hidden Lives of the Presidents, Kessler presents far bigger and more consequential stories that will make headlines about our nation’s leaders and the agency sworn to protect them.  In this eye-opening and uncensored book, Kessler widens his scope to include presidential candidates and former presidents after they leave the White House. In particular, he focuses on first ladies and their children and their relationships with the presidents. Based on exclusive, on-the-record interviews with former and current Secret Service agents, THE FIRST FAMILY DETAIL will include revelations about the first families and their feuds, foibles, idiosyncrasies and character, and explore the special challenges agents assigned to their protective details face.

Secret Service agents have a front-row seat to the presidents’, vice presidents’, and presidential candidates’ private lives and those of their wives and children. From seeing reckless behavior that threatens the country’s safety, to overhearing First Lady Michelle Obama’s admonitions to the president, to watching their own agency take risks that could result in an assassination, Secret Service agents know a hidden world that Ronald Kessler exposes in THE FIRST FAMILY DETAIL. 

"Presidents, vice presidents and presidential candidates create an image of themselves that is often the opposite of the truth,” Kessler says. “Secret Service agents see what goes on behind the scenes and know the real story. Besides making for some explosive reading, those stories provide clues to character that voters need to consider, as opposed to politicians’ acting ability on TV or what they promise. In the end, character may be the deciding factor in the success or failure of a presidency.”

Newsmax TV Taps JD Hayworth to Host News, Talk Show 'America's Forum'

Outspoken broadcaster and former U.S. Congressman J.D. Hayworth has officially been named as host of the daily news and conversation show "America's Forum" on the just-launched Newsmax TV.

The new show is one of the first programs on Newsmax TV as it ramps up with a soft start that will lead to a hard launch this fall.

Hayworth's "America's Forum," airing live weekdays 9 a.m. to noon Eastern Time with encore airings during the day, features the six-term House member from Arizona in conversation with newsmakers and analysts, discussing the latest news developments and the day's most pressing issues.

Throughout his career, Hayworth has demonstrated fearlessness in taking on controversial and often unpopular positions, and as a result has built up a loyal following. Hayworth first came to Washington in 1995 as part of the Contract with America that put Republicans back in control of the House for the first time in more than a half century. He went on to serve six terms representing Arizona's 5th Congressional District.

"J.D. Hayworth is a smart, informed, and passionate host who is not afraid to speak his mind, and as a result we expect him to be one of our most watched and discussed personalities," Newsmax Media CEO Christopher Ruddy said in announcing Hayworth's appointment. "With his experience in Washington, D.C., we believe he can give our viewers unique insight into how Washington works."

Hayworth said he's been enjoying the experience of connecting with the audience on Newsmax.com. "And now I'm looking forward to engaging and serving our expanded viewing audience on Newsmax TV as well," he said. [more...]

Newsmax Launches Cable TV Channel

Newsmax Launches Cable TV Channel

to 35 Million Homes on Monday, June 16

New York, NY — June 16, 2014 — Newsmax Media, Inc. has announced that it has reached a distribution agreement with satellite TV providers DISH Network and DIRECTV, expanding the reach of its forthcoming news, information and lifestyle channel, Newsmax TV, to nearly 35 million satellite homes and businesses when it soft-launches on Monday, June 16. The new distribution deal puts Newsmax TV in more than one-third of U.S. cable and satellite homes.

Focused on serving an audience of more than 80 million disenfranchised baby boomers, Newsmax TV has signed a distribution deal with DirecTV and is accelerating toward a national launch that expects to reach 40 percent of U.S. cable and satellite homes by the end of this year. Newsmax TV also plans a major OTT platform rollout with penetration estimated in excess of 100 million iOS and Android smart devices.

Newsmax TV will provide independent news with a mainstream conservative tilt, while offering a balanced perspective open to all points of view. More than just a politically focused channel, Newsmax TV will provide a full range of informational programming and lifestyle content for boomers in the areas of health, finance and personal well-being.

"The agreement we have signed with DirecTV marks a significant milestone for Newsmax TV as we prepare for a national launch this summer. Our launch will benefit from the existing Newsmax.com audience that is already in place who will naturally be drawn to our brand of news, features, and useful information, and consists of one of the highest concentrations of baby boomers on the Web," says Christopher Ruddy, CEO of and President of NewsMax Media, Inc. - one of the nation's leading news media companies. "We will immediately plug into that audience to participate in the development and the evolution of the channel prior to a national launch."

In addition to planned cable and satellite distribution, the new channel will be available via a wide range of "TV Everywhere" platforms just as the crucial 2014 midterm election coverage commences, thus allowing customers to access content from Newsmax TV through internet-based services - either live or on demand.

"Newsmax was born on the Internet and as the lines between TV and the Web blur, we will attract a growing audience that doesn't differentiate between the two. As a result, we are also well positioned to maximize the opportunities provided by 'TV Everywhere' platforms to reach tens of millions of Americans," Ruddy said.

The Newsmax TV channel will build on and benefit from an array of Newsmax Media multimedia assets, which include:

·         The Newsmax Feed Network, now carried on approximately 2,000 Web sites with 1 billion page views monthly; and

·         Top ranked Web sites like Newsmax.com, Newsmaxhealth.com and Moneynews.com, which draw close to 14 million unique monthly visitors, including more than 4 million opt-in e-mail news alert subscribers.

With headquarters in West Palm Beach and Boca Raton, Fla., and additional studios in New York, Washington, D.C., and Los Angeles, Newsmax TV will initially launch with nine hours of original programming. The schedule will expand to 18 hours by year's end with an emphasis on practical, useful information that is relevant to the lives of a large, under-served adult audience.  Its wide array of compelling alternative content will include:

·         News: A national network of top journalists providing credible, useful information on the latest developments throughout the United States and around the world.

·         Politics: Thoughtful, straightforward reporting and analysis on the latest from Washington, D.C., with a mix of news and conversation. Key lawmakers and legislators from across the political spectrum will be regular contributors to Newsmax TV reports, as they have been on the Newsmax Web site.

·         Health: Highly regarded doctors and medical experts will keep Newsmax TV viewers informed about the newest treatment options, updates in medicine and relevant tips on leading a healthy life.

·         Entertainment: With all the news about key developments in Hollywood, Newsmax TV will keep audiences informed on everything going on in front of and behind the cameras and across all screens.

There's No Place Like Utopia - a new Joel Gilbert Film

There's No Place Like Utopia A Joel Gilbert Film

Highway 61 Entertainment (highway61ent.com) is pleased to announce its new film for theatrical release this summer entitled There's No Place Like Utopia (theresnoplacelikeutopia.com) - a provocative and entertaining film about the roots and reality of Progressivism in America. Similar in style to the highly successful Michael Moore films, acclaimed director and filmmaker Joel Gilbert takes audiences on a horrifying and humorous journey of discovery across the USA. Gilbert travels across America to find out what's at the end of the Progressive rainbow - Utopia or something far worse. From the ruins of Detroit to the slums of Chicago's South Side, and from Denver's illegal immigration invasion to Newark's urban removal project, Gilbert pulls back the curtain. His quest takes us deep into the roots of the political fantasy of Utopia, as he confronts Progressives about their plans for paradise on earth. Gilbert also interviews Jack Cashill, David Horowitz, Jerome Corsi and a leading ex-KGB officer about the realities of Socialism and Marxism. In this film audiences will learn about: Why Barack Obama is the real life 'Wizard of Oz' - a charlatan full of empty promises The 'vast left wing conspiracy' in America today The roots of the Progressive agenda for Utopia on earth Why Chicago and Newark are becoming the new 'Detroits' Why Peggy Joseph, the 2008 voter who said Obama would "pay for her mortgage," DOES NOT support him today How political correctness is silencing American free speech Why Amnesty for illegals is bad for the Black community Why the Democrat party wants Americans dependent on government How Islam is expanding into Detroit and other cities devastated by Progressive policies There's No Place Like Utopia is an exploration of Progressivism, amnesty for illegals, race relations, Islam in America, political correctness, and Barack Obama himself, who promises to "remake the world as it should be."  But is Utopia a real destination for America, or does the true path to happiness still remain back home in Kansas via faith, family and hard work? There's No Place Like Utopia will premiere in select theaters starting in Denver, Colorado in July, then expand to a nationwide release. Rocky Mountain Pictures, the distributors behind the successful theatrical run of 2016: Obama's America, is distributing this film to theaters.
