A Patriot S Promise

An inspiring memoir of promises kept, overcoming obstacles, and what it means to sacrifice for others, written by a Special Warfare Operator with the US Air Force. When Israel “DT” Del Toro, Jr.'s Humvee rolled over a roadside improvised explosive device in Afghanistan, he had one thought as he lost consciousness: I have to keep the promise I made to my dad. DT was orphaned at the age of fourteen, and on the night before his father died, he repeated the promise his dad had required of him: “Take care of your brothers and sisters.” Throughout his childhood and into adulthood, DT indeed looked after his younger brother and sisters, even to his own detriment and sacrifice. When he enlisted in the Air Force, progressing in ranks as a skilled marksman calling airstrikes, his promise extended to his brothers and sisters in the Air Force—his fellow soldiers and brothers-in-arms. When DT was injured in action, he lay in a coma for three months with third-degree burns on 80 percent of his body. He nearly died three times, and doctors predicted—if he survived—he would forever breathe with a respirator and never walk again. DT pushed through every limit to his full recovery, and he became the first 100 percent disabled veteran to reenlist in the Air Force. DT's promise to his dad extends now to his fellow wounded warriors throughout the world as he advocates for awareness and affecting change in public policy for wounded, injured, and ill soldiers. He is a patriot who has kept his promise and changed the world with the spirit of his heart, soul, body, and mind.

The Patriot Endeavor What would it look like if a third-party upstart tried to take back our government from lying thieves in Washington?

Unabashedly broaching hot buttons, like racism, illegal immigration, and homosexuality that includes Capitol Hill sex scandals and a beautiful transgender seductress, The Patriot Endeavor is teeming with political intrigue, dirty police, assassinations, and tragically lost love.

Lies, betrayal, government-sanctioned bombings, shadowy characters, and poignant romantic interludes—The Patriot Endeavor has it all as it races to election day and its stunning conclusion.

The greatness of a nation is less a function of its physical geography than it is of the quality of its human content. Any nation can rise to great heights if it has within its borders men and women who will dare to dream and see a life beyond the limitations of the times in which they live. These are people who know that however dark and bleak the night may be, there’ll be light at the break of dawn, and are willing both to persevere through the long, dark night and to help others do so. These men and women are those the world knows as patriots. In Dreams of a Patriot, Oluneye Oluwole confronts the monstrous subject of leadership crisis in Nigeria, not from the boring and tedious perspective of a political analyst, but from the refreshing, everyday angle of a common citizen who knows that a nation so great and so immensely endowed as Nigeria deserves more from her people. She lights a candle in the wind of our turbulent national experience and beckons on all who share in this dream of greatness to help shield its flickering flame from the extinguishing forces that have held her nation down all these years. In a subtle, unobtrusive way, it is an expression of the dreams and hopes of that pained and distressed patriot in every one of us.

An original collection of the most influential documents in American history, from the bestselling author of A Patriot's History of the United States.

Larry Schweikart has won wide acclaim for his number one New York Times bestseller, A Patriot’s History of the United States. Now, with A Patriot's History of Globalism, Schweikart shows that globalism, or the attempt to form a one-world government is nothing new. In the wake of Napoleon's defeat in 1814, the globalists of the day (mostly monarchs) sought to create a governing arrangement for Europe. Within forty years, three of the major participants were at war with each other. After World War I, they tried again at Versailles, this time even more aggressively changing boundaries of nations and moving populations. That attempt only lasted twenty years before another major war between the participants. Yet again, after World War II, globalists used the threat of the atomic bomb to try to form an international government with the United Nations. Most recently, the World Economic Forum and World Health Organization are attempting to minimize nationalities with global control of money and medicine. But there are signs this tide has been reversed and is finally in decline. A Patriot's History of Globalism is the gold standard text for the history of globalism.
