"Rarely does a work of history contain startling implications for the present, but in The People, No Thomas Frank pulls off that explosive effect by showing us that everything we think we know about populism is wrong. Today "populism" is seen as a frightening thing, a term pundits use to describe the racist philosophy of Donald Trump and European extremists. But this is a mistake. The real story of populism is an account of enlightenment and liberation;...

"From Fox News' politics editor Chris Stirewalt -- a fun and lively account of America's populist tradition, from Andrew Jackson and Teddy Roosevelt, to Ross Perot, Pat Buchanan, and Donald Trump. Whatever the ideological fad of the moment, American populism has always been home to a fascinating assortment of charismatic leaders, characters, kooks, cranks, and sometimes charlatans who have--with widely varying degrees of success--led the charge of...

The 2016 election of Donald J. Trump exposed a deep divide in American politics and culture, one that pollsters and pundits didn't seem to realize was there. But Trump did, and he used it to his advantage in ways that surprised nearly everyone, even those who voted for him. Perhaps the biggest question on many people's minds is how, exactly, did a crass, unrepentant reality TV star and cutthroat business tycoon secure the majority of the religious...

A thoughtful analysis of how American identity has been defined and reinvented through history, and the ongoing debate over "exceptionalism."
The idea of "American exceptionalism" tends to provoke strong feelings, but few are aware of the term's origins or true meaning. Understanding the roots and consequences of America's uniqueness requires a thorough look into the nation's history and Americans' ideas about themselves.

John first heard the term political correctness in 1975. When he asked his friend, what is that? After the explanation, John replied, "That is the biggest conversation killer I have ever heard." John felt it was wrong but had no wherewithal to challenge it. For thirty-five years, it bothered him. It wasn't until twenty-eleven that, looking at a possible second term for Obama, he finally coined the phrase "Constitutional correctness trumps political...

The Memo is the riveting story of how Rich Higgins' twenty year career inside the Deep State enabled him to discern - well before anyone else - the Deep State's efforts to stop and ultimately remove the President from office. No one was more bold - or more frighteningly accurate - in anticipating the ferocity of the Deep State's assault on the Constitution and President Trump.

I finally done it. For the longest time, I have felt compelled to share what I have experienced. Some of the experience were along the lines of political. Some of this experience were religious.
We are only here for only so long. When we find what is important, when we have seen, and we do know, we are obligated to profess. I finally done it; here it is.

Imagine a time in the future when science has developed the means to allow the political socioeconomic playing field to level itself, giving everyone adequate food, shelter, clothing, health care, and sufficient education, and outlawing warfare. It may not happen tomorrow, but the age of abundance may be waiting in the future, where man has evolved to become gnostic human beings to fully understand what it means to be human in knowledge, righteousness,...

Until the end of the Cold War, the politics of national identity was confined to isolated incidents of ethnics strife and civil war in distant countries. Now, with the collapse of Communist regimes across Europe and the loosening of the Cold War's clamp on East-West relations, a surge of nationalism has swept the world stage. In Blood and Belonging, Ignatieff makes a thorough examination of why blood ties-in places as diverse as Yugoslavia, Kurdistan,...

Ce livre défend une thèse forte: à partir de 2007, le nationalisme québécois a cessé d'être un projet progressiste et «ouvert sur le monde» pour devenir un conservatisme centré sur la défense des valeurs de la «majorité historique francophone». Lors de son adresse à la nation du printemps 2019, au lendemain du dépt de la loi 21 sur la laïcité, le premier ministre Legault a résumé d'un trait l'esprit de ce conservatisme: «Au Québec,...

Décembre 2013: lors d'une cérémonie qui ressemblait à des funérailles nationales, devant une télé d'État béatement subjuguée par tant de pouvoir, des grands de ce monde ont chanté à l'unisson les louanges de Paul Desmarais: un grand homme d'affaires qui aurait donné tant au Québec nous a quitté.
Et si on inversait la question: que doivent Paul Desmarais et son empire au Québec ?
Tout! répond Robin Philpot.

Rather than concentrating purely on nationalism and national identity, the book explores the linkages that remained or were re-established between Spain and her former colonies; as has increasingly been recognised in recent...

As I write this, the Covid 19 virus is raging out of control. The current American death toll, as a result of the virus, is approaching 270,000 and is expected to double within the next couple of months. The press, or at least all the major mainstream news networks, have quite gleefully reported that the federal election is over, Trump has lost, Biden is now the "president elect", and Trump should "quit playing golf and prepare to spend the remainder...
