  • Rigged : how the media, big tech, and the Democrats seized our elections

    Creator

    Hemingway, Mollie Ziegler

    Abstract

    What really happened in the 2020 election? This devastating account exposes the fraud and cynicism behind the Democrats' historic power grab, which has destroyed the faith of millions of Americans in the press and our political institutions. It is also a reminder to weary patriots that truth, combined with courage, is the weapon America's corrupt elites fear most.

    Abstract

    Since 2002, Mohamedou Slahi has been held at Guantánamo, Cuba, though he has never been charged with a crime. Begun three years into his captivity, Slahi's diary serves as a record of a miscarriage of justice, a deeply personal memoir, and a document of vast historical importance.

  • Angrynomics

    Creator

    Lonergan, Eric

    Abstract

    Why are measures of stress and anxiety on the rise when economists and politicians tell us we have never had it so good? While statistics tell us that the vast majority of people are getting steadily richer, the world most of us experience day in and day out feels increasingly uncertain, unfair, and ever more expensive. Eric Lonergan and Mark Blyth explore the rising tide of anger, sometimes righteous and useful, sometimes destructive and ill-targeted, and propose radical new solutions for an increasingly polarized and confusing world.

  • Unmasked : inside Antifa's radical plan to destroy democracy

    Creator

    Ngo, Andy

    Abstract

    When Andy Ngo was attacked in the streets of Portland, Oregon by Antifa in the summer of 2019, most people assumed it was an isolated incident. But those who'd been following Ngo's reporting in outlets like the New York Post and Quillette knew that the attack was only the latest in a long line of crimes perpetrated by Antifa. Ngo tells the story of this violent extremist movement from the very beginning. He includes interviews with former followers of the group, people who've been attacked by them, and incorporates stories from his own life.
