President Trump And My Neighbor

always try to see the positive side of things. If there are enough of you out there that find this story entertaining, I might make enough money to sue the hell out of my neighbor. Now that was not very nice. I have learned from this experience. If someone tries to destroy your life, you should not lower yourself to their level and try to destroy theirs.

A grassroots look at the future of US politics as the next generation of progressive organizers—sparked by the unstoppable rise of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez—leads us toward a new direction The AOC Generation examines the resurgent young left—including groups like Justice Democrats, the Democratic Socialists of America and Brand New Congress—and documents how and why they got active and energized in political organizing, the success and limitations of their approaches—and through their stories, it tells the history and the future of a generation. In 2018, the country watched as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez rose from unknown part-time bartender to the halls of Congress at the age of 29 and became a household name for her progressive, passionate politics. With firsthand accounts detailing the final days of her campaign, which he spent beside her as she fought for every last vote, Freedlander connects her ample political talents and ability to command the media and the public’s attention to the newfound political awakening of millennial activists. Inspired in part by the Bernie Sanders campaign, and furthered by a series of critical issues including catastrophic climate change, a rigid political system, and widening income inequality, these young people organized into new groups that became a conduit for their energy, ideas, and passions. And all of their activity isn’t just political. They’ve created their own media eco-system, with podcasts, streaming networks, and even dating sites that cater to their interests. With this new generation gaining traction, with little signs of backing down and securing crucial political seats as Ocasio-Cortez did in 2018, The AOC Generation presents a thoughtful analysis of how they came of age in an America they are determined to reshape.

Historically, segments of white Americans have let racist paranoia supersede judicious reasoning throughout our history. The 2016 Presidential election in the United States brought the Know-Nothing’s back from the hidden depths of our history books. This book provides a historical account of the Know-Nothing Party in the 1850s through their reemergence in the 21st century with the election of Donald Trump. Analyzing the anti-immigration and anti-Catholic rhetoric of the Know-Nothing movement and tracing that same rhetoric in George Wallace's American Independent Party in the '60s, up into its appearance in the Trump movement, this book provides a guide for understanding the 2016 Republican Party agenda through its inheritance from the Know-Nothing Movement.

The shock of the 2016 election was not that Donald Trump won-it was that he could be in a position to win. The surprise was not that one hundred thousand people spread across Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania altered the course of history-it was that, in a country of three hundred and twenty million mostly decent people, a man who promised to annihilate decency could top thirty percent. Were there idiots and jerks who voted for Donald Trump? Certainly. But there are not 62,985,106 of them. Had there been only 62,885,105, Hillary Clinton may have become president, but the frustrations and misunderstandings and prejudices and calculations and hopes and fears that persuaded even that many of your neighbors to lend their individual voice to this con artist would have remained.This book cannot claim to explain Trump's Midwestern appeal in full. It can only offer the perspectives of seventeen residents of Muskegon County-a struggling post-industrial semi-urban space on the shores of Lake Michigan that, on November 8, 2016, cast 5080 more votes for an abrasive B-list celebrity than it cast for native grandson Mitt Romney four years prior. The story is told from their perspectives, in their words. The result is a portrait of a seemingly inconsequential place that, like so many of the other seemingly inconsequential places between La Crosse and Bethlehem, played its small role in ushering the world into The Age of Trump. This is not a work of political science, nor of sociology, nor of journalism, nor of literature. It is an unvarnished look at how seventeen of your neighbors see this moment, and how they got here.

About the Book The Biblical value of revealed religion and subsequent morality have no equal when properly used to instruct and guide all on Earth to our eternal life. Scripture Letters in the Public Square is a compilation of letters designed to religiously inform the public through the secular media of newspapers, where the general public can read about moral issues from Biblical and religious standpoints. Written from the Catholic perspective, some issues covered are abortion, religious freedom and homosexuality. Scripture Letters in the Public Square is a follow-up book to the author’s first book: Bible Letters to the Public Editor. About the Author Although not a public orator on the subjects, Dan Arthur Pryor has spent countless hours discussing and debating religion and morality with almost anyone he encounters when the moment seems right. Though all vary in their theology—or lack thereof—he finds all groups are interesting to engage with: children, brothers, sisters, cousins, friends, neighbors, strangers, fellow Catholics, Protestants, Jehovah Witness, agnostics, atheists, liberals, conservatives, and so on. The author has been pursuing these efforts since the age of 52.

What should Christians think about Donald Trump? His policies, his style, his personal life? Thirty evangelical Christians (listed below) wrestle with these tough questions. They are Republicans, Democrats, and Independents. They don't all agree, but they seek to let Christ be the Lord of their political views. They seek to apply biblical standards to difficult debates about our current political situation. Vast numbers of white evangelicals enthusiastically support Donald Trump. Do biblical standards on truth, justice, life, freedom, and personal integrity warrant or challenge that support? How does that support of President Trump affect the image of Christianity in the larger culture? Around the world? Many younger evangelicals today are rejecting evangelical Christianity, even Christianity itself. To what extent is that because of widespread evangelical support for Donald Trump? Don't read this book to find support for your views. Read it to be challenged--with facts, reason, and biblical principles. With contributions from: Michael W.
