How is it that overnight the America we grew up in has become all but unrecognizable? How did the greatest nation on earth turn into a snake pit of bitterness and acrimony? How did our government come to make war on the very liberties - of speech, thought, religion - it was created to defend? Why has our justice system become a blatant instrument of partisan injustice? Why are entire generations so ignorant of the ideals that made this country a beacon for all humankind that they reflexively denounce America as a hellscape of indecency and oppression? The answer: Barack Obama. All the damage he did as the nation's chief executive was by design. The only surprise is the astonishing extent to which his pledge to "fundamentally transform America" succeeded, and with what astonishing speed. In fact, is still succeeding, as under the shadow presidency of Joe Biden Obama continues to wield greater power than any ex-president in history. In Racism, Revenge and Ruin, Scott McKay tells the story with uncompromising honesty, insight and gallows humor, charting Obama's story from childhood to his current status as Democratic saint. He shows how by guile, dishonesty, ruthlessness - and, yes, surface charm - as well as boundless support from a starstruck media, a man without prior achievement and connections to some of the most notorious figures in American life was able to reach the nation's highest office, and then abuse his power for ends wholly alien to the American creed. McKay further establishes how, in what he terms Obama's Third Term, Obama and his collaborators in the Deep State were able to largely undermine Donald Trump's presidency; and how, under Biden, they are proving ever more brazen in their crushing of basic American freedoms; and indeed, they are now moving to secure total Democratic control of the federal government into the foreseeable future. Racism, Revenge and Ruin is about what we have gone through in the years since the malign figure of Barack Obama appeared on the national scene, and what we face going forward. It is a clarion call for those who cherish our freedoms to resist the ongoing encroachments by Obama and Obamaism.

This is a beautiful collection of poems about the ways and places that love appears. They are written by Ray Cicetti with both wisdom and insight. The poems in this book take the reader on a journey of their own, and are to be savored like a morning cup of espresso. Their essence can be realized beyond the words, like love is. Ultimately, the reader ends up where they started, in the present moment. These poems help me to be better able to see and live life with more open hearted. -Carl BachmannIn his second volume of published poetry, Songs of Love & Longing, Ray Cicetti delivers lyrics that are immense in their knowledge: of love and loss, of rock and roll, of splendid birds that fill the skies over New Jersey. A psychotherapist and longtime Zen teacher, Cicetti understands how family can persist in memory both as bedrock and heartbreak. This is a brilliant performance.--Daniel Born

Shareholder activist Wilma Soss rocketed to fame in the 1950s fighting for the rights of the individual investor. But over the years, her legacy was almost forgotten. Based on archival documents, this is the true story of how a disparate group of activist investors-from a PR star to a Holocaust survivor-found each other and became the advocates Fortune 500 management loved to hate. Soss and her band of activists, including the incomparable Evelyn Y. Davis, leveraged the media to promote the rights of small shareholders. The idea was simple: buy one share of stock to gain access to shareholder meetings and remind management whom they really serve. These "corporate gadflies" were determined to speak their minds, even if it meant bringing their own megaphones or being dragged out of public meetings. But their message was undeniable, and ultimately changed corporate America for the better. Increased opportunities in the workplace, improved shareholder voting rights and greater corporate transparency were just some of the reforms Wilma Soss and her Federation kicked off in the post-war era. If you're looking for the intellectual heritage of 2021's WallStreetBets phenomenon or the reason Fearless Girl stands as a symbol of American optimism today, look no further than the life, times and efforts of the fearless shareholder activist, Wilma Soss.
