The Last Empire is a collection of provocative, witty, and eloquent essays by Gore Vidal about all things USA. In more than two dozen essays, Vidal brings his keen intellect, experience, and razor-edged wit to bear on an astonishing range of subjects, offering incisive observations about terrorism, civil liberties, the CIA, Al Gore, and the Clintons—interwoven with a rich tapestry of personal anecdote, critical insight, and historical detail.

Although the abstract is becoming increasingly concrete in the winds of change, as the current rapid descension into absolute government tyranny continues unchecked, the American people may be pragmatically approaching the hauntingly familiar revolutionary horizon that awakens the democratic spirit of true patriotism once again, and are rationally moving towards the distinct possibility of embracing more extreme measures to force legitimate, significant, and world-shattering changes upon their failing political system.

Lo spostamento dell'asse geopolitico del mondo alimenta negli Stati Uniti la paura che il meccanismo di promozione sociale, alla base dell'"American way of life", si sia inceppato. Quando gli americani hanno paura, tendono a ritirarsi nella propria isola, convinti che le minacce non possano che arrivare dall'esterno. Con la promessa di fare tornare l'America great again, Donald Trump ha interpretato con successo il mito dell'insularità, che affonda le radici nella storia del paese.

Jamie Pamela Rasmussen recounts the long and fascinating history of the place, focusing on the stories of inmates and the struggles by prison officials to provide opportunities for reform while keeping costs down. Tales of prominent prisoners, including Pretty Boy Floyd, Sonny Liston, and James Earl Ray, provide intrigue and insight into the institution’s infamous reputation. The Missouri State Penitentiary provides a fitting account of an institution that was part of Missouri’s history for well over a century.

The Consequences of Humiliation explores the nature of national humiliation and its impact on foreign policy. Joslyn Barnhart demonstrates that Germany's catastrophic reaction to humiliation at the end of World War I is part of a broader pattern: states that experience humiliating events are more likely to engage in international aggression aimed at restoring the state's image in its own eyes and in the eyes of others. Her examination of how national humiliation functions at the individual level explores leaders' domestic incentives to evoke a sense of national humiliation.

Throughout his presidency, Donald Trump sought to weaponize American Christianity and use it for his own political benefit. But he could not have done so without the willing assistance of church leaders who were seduced by the prospect of wielding political power in their battle to win the culture war. This audiobook seeks to unravel the strange relationship between Donald Trump and his deluded Christian followers and to explain why Christians from all over the United States would converge on Washington, DC, and storm the US Capitol in the service of a transparent lie.

What does “War” really mean? With the way things are escalating globally, there's no longer an excuse for being misinformed. But, there are so many sources that are spreading misinformation rather than educating their listeners. This book is here to fix that! This is the perfect story for anyone who wants to gain a better understanding of how all countries would be affected in the event of another global conflict.

American Political Parties is a core textbook on political parties in the United States that places the US party system into a framework designed around the disagreements between Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson. White and Kerbel argue that the two-party system in the United States began with a common agreement on the key values of freedom, individual rights, and equality of opportunity, but that Hamilton and Jefferson disagreed—often vehemently—over how to translate these ideals into an acceptable form of governance.

In popular memory, Franklin Delano Roosevelt was the quintessential political “natural.” Born in 1882 to a wealthy, influential family and blessed with an abundance of charm and charisma, he seemed destined for high office. Yet for all his gifts, the young Roosevelt nonetheless lacked depth, empathy, and an ability to think strategically. Those qualities, so essential to his success as president, were skills he acquired during his seven-year journey through illness and recovery.

Both a celebration and a call to action, Justice for All is perfect for fans of Mark Levin, Greg Gutfeld, and Sean Hannity.

Few institutions have been more ingeniously designed than the U.S. federal government via the Constitution in 1787. This auspicious beginning more than two centuries ago helps explain why the U.S. remains a magnet for opportunity seekers, students, entrepreneurs, dissidents, and persecuted believers. Yet for decades now, America’s federal government has been underperforming. In an era of substantial political fermentation and debate, rediscovering and re-applying American Republicanism represents the best path forward for the United States.

For 75 years, the basic patterns of world politics and the contours of international economic activity took place in the shadow of American leadership and the institutions it designed—an order designed to avoid the horrors of previous eras, including, most poignantly, two world wars and the Great Depression. But all things must pass. The global financial crisis of 2008, the legacy of two long, losing wars, and the polarizing and tumultuous presidency of Donald Trump all suggest that global affairs have reached a turning point. The implications of this are profound.

Bestselling author and former Speaker Newt Gingrich reveals how Big Government Socialism is crippling America—and offers strategies and insights for everyday citizens to overcome its influence.

The United States government is divided into three branches: the legislative, executive, and judicial. In the legislative branch, it is telling of the shape of this country when 90 percent of the Republicans who are members are supporting an ex-president who continues to live in la-la land by propagating the myth that the election was stolen. He tried all types of ways to negate a Biden win by calling on Georgia to produce ‘’out of hat’’ 1100 votes. His denial of the election results caused the events on January 6. The participants of the insurrection heard Trump’s call.

Alexander Hamilton was a Caribbean-born American leader, political leader, legal scholar, army leader, legal representative, lender, and economic expert who lived from January 11, 1755 or 1757 until July 12, 1804. He was a founding father of the United States of America. He was the creator of the country's monetary system, the Federalist Party, the USA Coast Guard, and the New York Post paper, and a popular translator and advocate of the US Constitution. Hamilton, as first secretary of the Treasury, was the driving force behind President George Washington's financial policy.

The United States is experiencing a profound crisis when it comes to mental health care. In a recent Senate Committee on Finance hearing on youth mental health, US Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy shared that Americans wait 11 years, on average, between onset of symptoms and first receiving treatment. The consequences are plain to see: higher suicide and drug overdose rates, more Americans without a safe place to sleep, more children experiencing depression and anxiety. The house is on fire, and the nation is short on firefighters equipped to put out the blaze.

La "Trappola di Tucidide" è stata di recente evocata dal presidente Xi Jinping per esortare gli Stati Uniti e la stessa Cina a evitare il tipico confronto, dal prevedibile sbocco violento, che può innescarsi tra una potenza consolidata e una emergente, come accadde fra Sparta e Atene. Ripreso più e più volte da studiosi e policy maker, questo richiamo a dinamiche di un tempo lontanissimo suggerisce che molti ritengano il contesto internazionale attuale, nella sua essenza, non differente da quello di cui Tucidide scriveva.

An America Without Republicans has for a long time now become the clearest choice in politics and the country in general. They provide no policies, rational, compassion, logic, reason, and a list of other human concerns that the American people can use. Caring only about the rich is no longer just a cliche. Their lack of all those amenities I mentioned, and then some, are proof that being a Republican voter, and for certain one of the leaders, has proven them to be merely cult minded robots, programed by rich Republicans only for the negative.
