Hundreds of millions of people use dating apps. Billions are spent on them. Yet, only 10% of users ever find a long-term relationship on them. Something is horribly wrong when so many people are spending so much money to fail 90% of the time. The dating apps lead everyone to believe the bigger, better deal is just one swipe away, so we kick "good or great enough" to the curb in search of the perfect match. The only problem is that match is nothing more than a myth, which we will never find. Read one guy's view on what is wrong with the dating apps and what needs to change if we stand any chance of finding love on our smartphones. This brutally honest book is a must read for anyone who uses dating apps and spends far too much time frustrated and confused.

The Founding Debate is a short guide to one of the most critical debates in American history: where should the power of our lives reside? On one side were the Federalists led by James Madison and Alexander Hamilton who argued that the new powers of the federal government would not ride roughshod over the sovereignty of the states. On the other side were the Anti-Federalists, including Robert Yates and Samuel Bryan, who believed the new federal powers would lead to the eventual abolishment of state legislatures. Which side was right? This book contains the five best arguments by the Federalists and the Anti-Federalists, as well as excerpts from the ten U.S. Supreme Court decisions that resulted in the power structure under which we live today. Read the actual words written by our Founding Fathers and decide for yourself.

Taxpayers Don't Stand a Chance is an in-depth case study on the perennial election battleground state of Ohio, including a microanalysis of Ohio's political landscape. This unique book describes in rich detail how Ohio went from being an economic and political leader to a national laggard. As shown by specific examples, Ohio's fall occurred because the political system puts entrenched interests ahead of taxpayers and politicians spend precious resources on the wrong issues or make things worse. With the news media's failure to give equal coverage to conservative ideas and to expose government excesses, voters can't make informed decisions. The political and journalistic failures stop key economic reforms from being implemented, make it impossible for Ohioans to prevent higher taxes, and keep Ohio indentured to labor unions. These failures are happening in states and localities everywhere. Because Ohio is a battleground state, these failures have national implications making it a must read for conservatives, political junkies, and grassroots activists across America. This book does more than just cite problems, it lays out major reforms aimed at giving taxpayers a chance to fight back and win.

Homeland Security and Federalism: Protecting America from Outside the Beltway uses the principle of federalism to present a compelling case that the best way to protect America from terrorists is to get power out of Washington and back in the hands of governors, mayors, and the countless men and women serving on the front lines in our communities. This second edition includes a short introduction detailing what has changed from when the book first came out in 2009 to today. The book takes the reader from the streets of Ismailia, Eygpt, in 1921 to New York City on September 11, 2001 and from America's Colonial period to the inner workings of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to show what worked historically and why the approach taken after September 11 failed to heed the bright lessons of history on how best to protect our nation against this new threat. After asking where are today's federalists who will push back on Washington's power grab, the book develops a rational risk model to guide where our limited resources should be allocated that will lead to less pork and more protection. The book then systematically builds the case that states and localities are uniquely suited to lead our efforts on terrorism preparedness, disaster management, illegal immigration, counterterrorism, and community resiliency. Case studies throughout the book highlight best practices from outside the Beltway that once again vindicate the role of federalism in solving America's complex challenges.
