It would certainly seem so. After all, the presidential candidate with the most popular votes has nevertheless lost the election…
at least three times, including 2016. To some Americans, that’s a scandal. They believe the Electoral College is an intolerable flaw in the Constitution, a relic of a bygone era that ought to have been purged long ago. But that would be a terrible mistake, warns Tara Ross in this vigorous defense of “the indispensable Electoral College.” Far from an obstacle to enlightened democracy, the Electoral College is one of the guardrails ensuring the stability of the American Republic. In this lively and instructive primer, Tara Ross explains: Why the Founders established the Electoral College—and why they thought it vital to the Constitution Why the Electoral College was meant to be more important than the popular vote How the Electoral College prevents political crises after tight elections Why the Electoral College doesn’t favor one party over the other Why the states are the driving force behind presidential elections and how efforts to centralize the process have led to divisiveness and discontent Why the Electoral College is inappropriately labeled a “relic of slavery” Every four years, the controversy is renewed: Should we keep the Electoral College? Tara Ross shows you why the answer should be a resounding Yes! The Indispensable Electoral College makes a winning argument for a necessary protection against "rigged" party elections, coastal elites, and DC insiders who wish to make a career of unchecked ambition.The Politically Incorrect Guide to the American Revolution (The Politically Incorrect Guides)
By Larry Schweikart, Dave Dougherty. 2017
The truth about the American Revolution is under attack. Despite what you may have learned in school, it wasn't a…
rich slaveholder's war fought to "maintain white privilege." In fact, the War of Independence wasn't about maintaining any status quo—it was the world's first successful bottom-up revolution by the people, ushering in a new dawn of liberty that history had never seen before. But with left-wingers dominating the teaching of history, where can you go for the true story of the unprecedented events that made the United States the worlds greatest nation? Now bestselling historian Larry Schweikart has teamed up with author Dave Dougherty to write the ground-breaking patriotic history you've always wanted to read about the foundation of our unique nation. The Politically Incorrect Guide to the American Revolution reveals: Four key factors that applied only in America, making it impossible to replicate the Revolution anywhere else Why it matters that the Patriot ghting force was overwhelmingly Scotch-Irish The key role of Protestantism: which denominations tended to become Patriots, and which Tories How Americans were different from the Europeans and English even at the outset of the Revolution How the casualties of the deadliest war in American history are routinely underreported How our Revolution became a model for hundreds of others—that all failed Schweikart and Dougherty take on the left-wing myths—starting with the Marxist narrative of the Revolution in Howard Zinn's nearly ubiquitous A People's History of the United States—and uncover the truth about America's beginning.Drain the Swamp: How Washington Corruption is Worse than You Think
By Ken Buck. 2017
Lavish parties. Committee chairmanships for sale. Pay-to-play corruption. Backroom arm-twisting. Votes on major legislation going to the highest bidder. Welcome…
to Washington, D.C., the swamp that President Donald Trump was elected to drain.Congressman Ken Buck is blowing the whistle on the real-life House of Cards in our nation's capital. Elected in 2014 as president of one of the largest Republican freshman classes ever to enter Congress, Buck immediately realized why nothing gets done in Congress, and it isn't because of political gridlock—in fact, Republicans and Democrats work together all too well to fleece taxpayers and plunge America deeper into debt."It is an insular process directed by power-hungry party elites who live like kings and govern like bullies," Buck reports.Buck has witnessed first-hand how the unwritten rules of Congress continually prioritize short-term political gain over lasting, principled leadership. When Buck tangled with Washington power brokers like former Speaker John Boehner, he faced petty retaliation. When he insisted Republicans keep their word to voters, he was berated on the House floor by his own party leaders. When other members of Congress dared to do what they believed to be right for America instead of what the party bosses commanded, Buck saw them stripped of committee positions and even denied dining room privileges by the petty beltway bullies.In Drain the Swamp, Buck names names and tells incredible true stories about what really happened behind closed doors in Congress during legislative battles that have ensued over the last two years including budget, continuing resolutions, omnibus, trade promotion authority, Iran, and more. If the Trump administration is going to bring real change to Washington, it first needs to get the whole story—from deep inside the swamp.A New York Times Bestseller!When FBI Director James Comey announced in July that Hillary Clinton would not be indicted for…
mishandling classified information, America was stunned. Had the scandal-happy Clintons escaped justice once again? Not so fast, says investigative reporter and bestselling author Ed Klein. There is far more behind Comey's shocking press conference than meets the eye -- and a minefield of email evidence between Hillary and the White House.In his astonishing new book, Klein uncovers the real story behind Hillary's email scandals and the dirty political games that have kept her one step ahead of the law - for now. Klein reveals what the FBI's team of 150+ investigators really found on Clinton's server. How Comey originally threatened to resign over White House attempts to intervene in the investigation, and his secret plan to go around the Justice Department if needed. How an unprecedented Congressional investigation during an election year is uncovering new shocking evidence of corruption on a level some would call treason. And what Bill and Hillary still have left in their bag of tricks in their desperate quest to get back into the Oval Office.Fake Science: Exposing the Left's Skewed Statistics, Fuzzy Facts, and Dodgy Data
By Austin Ruse. 2017
If you listen to any political argument, you're eventually bound to hear something like: "The science is settled on this."…
Or: "Just look at the statistics!" Or: "There have been studies that say..."You'd think we were living in the golden age of science and reason. But the truth is far more sinister, says Austin Ruse. We're actually living in the age of the low information voter, easily mislead by all-too-convincing false statistics and studies. In Fake Science, Ruse debunks so-called "facts" used to advance political causes one after the other, revealing how poorly they stand up to actual science.Bigly: Donald Trump in Verse
By Rob Long. 2017
"Poets, wrote Shelley, are 'the unacknowledged legislators of the world.' Big deal. But now for the rst time ever a…
poet is the Leader of the Free World, and he's even more totally unacknowledged—by Democrats, the media, Lena Dunham, Deep State leakers, and other losers. This superb collection of winning verse, brilliantly edited by Rob Long, spans the decades from the early 'Table at Le Cirque' to my personal favorite 'The Mantle of Anger.' With this dazzling anthology, bitter fake-news hacks for whom Trump is beyond reason will have to admit that he's also beyond rhyme (except for page 74)." —MARK STEYN, bestselling author of America Alone, After America, and The Undocumented Mark Steyn "This book pleased me so much, I culturally appropriated Haiku to contribute to the cover." — MILO YIANNOPOULOS"More lyrical than Walt Whitman, pithier than Robert Frost—and making a heck of a lot more sense than Emily Dickinson, this book should be required reading for every Literature major on campus."—JAMES DELINGPOLE, columnist at Breitbart.com and The Spectator and author of 365 Ways to Drive a Liberal Crazy and The Little Green Book of Eco-FascismBigly is hilarious compilation of memorable quotes from President Donald Trump arranged as poetry that will have the president's fiercest supporters and harshest critics asking the same question: Can a president appoint himself Poet Laureate? Divided into sections on Life, Love, Beauty, and Death—and including a dedicatory haiku by Milo Yiannopoulos, a foreword by How to Lose Friends and Alienate People author Toby Young, and poignant editor's notes that reveal the hidden meaning in Trump's expert verse—Bigly is a must-have for political junkies who've been following President Donald Trump's unconventional speeches, interviews, complaints, jokes, quips, and witticisms."Steven Hayward thinks presidents should be graded on their loyalty to their oath of office. Why, it’s just crazy enough…

By Robert Spencer. 2017
"JUST STAY QUIET AND YOU'LL BE OKAY."That's what Mohamed Atta told the doomed airline passengers on 9/11. And we still…
hear the exact same message today from the powerful but shadowy lobby that is working behind the scenes to gut the First Amendment and prohibit "hate speech"—or any criticism—of Islam. As bestselling author Robert Spencer shows in his startling new book, The Complete Infidel's Guide to Free Speech (and Its Enemies), aggressive Muslims and their appeasers have mounted a dangerous and disturbingly successful campaign against our constitutional rights. Spencer reveals: How social media behemoths Facebook and Twitter—not to mention student groups at American college campuses—are doing the bidding of anti-First Amendment Muslim activists Why core Islamic teachings make criticism of Islam punishable by death How American representatives at the United Nations have already agreed to limit freedom of speech How Curt Schilling and other outspoken conservatives have lost their jobs for criticizing Islam Why Twitter and Facebook now regularly censor speech critical of Islam—while allowing death threats against its critics How blasphemy laws in Muslim countries are used as a pretext for arresting, even lynching Christians How European "hate speech" laws are used to prosecute and harass critics of Islam Why appeasement of Islam is endangering our First Amendment freedoms and could lead to your prosecution for "hate speech" If you value your First Amendment rights, you owe it to yourself to read The Complete Infidel's Guide to Free Speech (and Its Enemies). It will give you the information and tools you need to fight back—because Islam and its progressive fellow travelers have only begun their campaign to define what you can read, say, and think.The Conservative Case for Trump

Why Trump’s fresh thinking on defense and foreign policy is long overdue-and could send terrorism into rapid retreatDonald Trump is the most controversial Republican presidential candidate since Barry Goldwater, and could be the most conservative and successful since Ronald Reagan.

By Everett Piper. 2017
"You must read this book. Everett Piper is a man of courage and conviction. He stands nearly alone as an…
academic leader confronting the ideological fascism of the snowflake rebellion. His call for intellectual freedom must be heard."—GLENN BECKWhat has happened to the American spirit? We've gone from "Give me liberty, or give me death!" to "Take care of me, please." Our colleges were once bastions of free speech; now they're bastions of speech codes. Our culture once rewarded independence; now it rewards victimhood. Parents once taught their kids how to fend for themselves; now, any parent who tries may get a visit from the police.In Not a Day Care, Dr. Everett Piper, president of Oklahoma Wesleyan University and author of the viral essay, "This Is Not a Day Care. It's a University!," takes a hard look at what's happening around the country--including the demand for "safe spaces" and trigger warnings at universities like Yale, Brandeis, and Oberlin--and digs in his heels against the sad and dangerous infantilization of the American spirit.Sex Scandal: The Drive to Abolish Male and Female
By Ashley Mcguire. 2017
Men and women used to cheer: vive la différence!But now, contrary to all science and common sense, we’re supposed to…
believe that there is no difference. (And if you insist there is, you just might be accused of a hate crime!)Our culture-and our laws-are endorsing a worldview rooted in craziness.For instance, we’re told that: Boys who think they’re girls (and who could change their minds tomorrow) should be allowed to participate in girls’ sports-and shower in their locker rooms Expectant mothers are now "birthing individuals” Coed college dorm rooms and bathrooms are great, but single-sex clubs are a campus danger It’s horrible for stores to have separate boys and girls clothing departments (let alone toy sections) It would be a great idea for our military to lower physical standards and push young women and mothers into combat roles in the militaryIf you think that’s insanity, you’re not alone, but you might be surprised at just how widespread-and successful-this lunatic campaign has become.In her compelling new book, Sex Scandal, journalist Ashley McGuire takes this radical campaign to task and reveals: How so-called "gender-norming” flies in the face of science (which is proving that men and women are even more different than commonly acknowledged) Why-especially if you have kids-it’s almost impossible to avoid the dangerous consequences of a "gender neutral” world How embracing sexual differences can make policing safer, government more efficient-and hedge funds lose less money How "gender neutrality” is making women more vulnerable to violence How the word "gender”-formerly a grammatical term-has been used to dismiss the reality of definite, biological "sex” (male and female) with fluid "gender identities” Why "gender” insanity is not something we can just ignore and hope will fade away, but need to refute-now-with hard, cold facts before it does any more damage (which it likely will)Sex Scandal: The Drive to Abolish Male and Female is packed with news-breaking interviews, shocking examples, and "inconvenient” facts that everyone needs to read-and act on.The Problem with Socialism
By Thomas Dilorenzo. 2016
Remember when "socialism" was a dirty word? Now students at America's elite universities are parroting socialist talking points and "sure-thing"…
Hillary Clinton is struggling to win the Democratic nomination against a 74-year-old avowed socialist who promises to make the nation more like Europe. What's happened? Do Americans need a reminder about the dangers of socialist ideology and practices?Thomas DiLorenzo, economics professor and senior fellow at the Ludwig von Mises Institute, deconstructs the retrograde ideology that has suddenly become disturbingly hip in The Problem with Socialism.Resurrecting the Idea of a Christian Society
By R. R. Reno. 2016
America’s two greatest strengths-her liberal democratic culture and her free-market economy-have made her a global superpower. But left unchecked, these…
two strengths can become great cultural weaknesses, sowing selfishness, recklessness, and apathy. In Resurrecting the Idea of a Christian Society, theologian R. R. Reno argues that America needs a renewal of Christian ideals-ideals that encourage self-sacrifice, responsibility, and solidarity. Drawing on T.S. Eliot’s 1940 essay "The Idea of a Christian Society,” Reno shows how Christianity encourages "an abiding ambition for higher things” and a "moral vision” that can strengthen communities and transform America into a truly great nation.The Geopolitics of Renewables (Lecture Notes In Energy Ser. #61)
By Daniel Scholten. 2018
Renewable energy represents a game changer for interstate energy relations. The abundant and intermittent nature of sources, possibilities for decentral…
generation and use of rare earth materials, and generally electric nature of distribution make renewable energy systems very different from those of fossil fuels. What do these geographic and technical characteristics imply for infrastructure topology and operations, business models, and energy markets? What are the consequences for strategic realities and policy considerations of producer, consumer, and transit countries and energy-related patterns of cooperation and conflict between them? Who are the likely winners and losers? The Geopolitics of Renewables is the first in-depth exploration of the implications for interstate energy relations of a transition towards renewable energy. Fifteen international scholars combine insights from several disciplines - international relations, geopolitics, energy security, renewable energy technology, economics, sustainability transitions, and energy policy - to establish a comprehensive overview and understanding of the emerging energy game. Focus is on contemporary developments and how they may shape the coming decades on three levels of analysis: #65533; The emerging global energy game; winners and losers #65533; Regional and bilateral energy relations of established and rising powers #65533; Infrastructure developments and governance responses The book is recommended for academics and policy makers. It offers a novel analytical framework that moves from geography and technology to economics and politics to investigate the geopolitical implications of renewable energy and provides practical illustrations and policy recommendations related to specific countries and regions such as the US, EU, China, India, OPEC, and Russia.The Politically Incorrect Guide to Immigration (The Politically Incorrect Guides)

By Toyin Falola, Kenneth Kalu. 2018
Offers thoughtful, accessible analysis of how African states have responded to the challenges of globalization. Presents policy recommendations for helping…
African states to play more active and profitable roles in the global economy. Includes perspectives from a wide variety of disciplines, including political science, economics, development studies, gender studies, and film studies.This book considers the promises and challenges of globalization for Africa. Why have African states been perennially unable to diversify their economies and move beyond export of primary produce, even as Southeast Asia has made a tremendous leap into manufacturing? What institutional impediments are in play in African states? What reforms would mitigate the negative effects of globalization and distribute its benefits more equitably? Covering critical themes such as political leadership, security challenges, the creative sector, and community life, essays in this volume argue that the starting point for Africa’s meaningful engagement with the rest of the world must be to look inward, examine Africa’s institutions, and work towards reforms that promote inclusiveness and stability.The End of Work: Why Your Passion Can Become Your Job
By John Tamny. 2018
From the author of Popular Economics comes a surpringly sunny projection of America's future job market. Forget the doomsday predictions…
of sour-faced nostalgists who say automization and globalization will take away your dream job. The job market is only going to get better and better, according to economist John Tamny, who argues in The End of Work that the greatest gift of prosperity, beyond freedom from painful want, is the existence of work that is interesting.The Dictator Pope: The Inside Story of the Francis Papacy
By Marcantonio Colonna. 2018
The Inside Story of the Francis Papacy Could Pope Francis be the most tyrannical and unprincipled pontiff in modern times?…
Yes, says Church historian Marcantonio Colonna, in his controversial yet judicious new book, The Dictator Pope. Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio of Argentina was elected pope in 2013 as a liberal and a reformer. In fact, he was neither—except by coincidence. Though he was not well-known within the College of Cardinals that elected him, close observers in his native land already recognized him to be a manipulative politician, skilled at self-promotion, and a disciple of the populist dictator Juan Perón. Behind the mask of a genial man of the people is a pope who cares shockingly little about theology or the liturgy but is obsessed with his own power. Allying himself with the most corrupt elements in the Vatican, Francis rules by fear. He has obstructed or reversed the very reforms that were expected of him and attempted to alter Catholic teaching by subterfuge. In The Dictator Pope you will learn: Why the head of Francis’s own religious order thought he should not be made a bishop Why Francis may have diverted Church funds to support Hillary Clinton’s failed presidential campaign How true Church reformers have been punished by the Pope and his allies How Francis himself has mused that he might be the cause of a schism in the Church Why clerics in the Vatican have gone from dismissing Francis as a “clown” to fearing him as a dictator Marcantonio Colonna has exhaustively mined his extensive contacts in the Vatican to produce a provocative and revealing account of Pope Francis’s true motivations. The Dictator Pope is essential reading to understand one of the most enigmatic, and dangerous, figures to occupy the See of St. Peter.The Politically Incorrect Guide to Immigration (The Politically Incorrect Guides)
