Barnett R: Our Republican Constitution /

Our Republican Constitution

Securing the Liberty and Sovereignty of We the People

Two former staffers to President George H. W. Bush bring together the most harrowing and hilarious stories behind presidential events over the past sixty years—from the Rose Garden to Air Force One, foreign trips to state dinners—detailing the art of preparation that goes into these delicate, high stress operations and revealing how they have often been one step away from disaster. Don’t Tell the President is a collection of the greatest tales of triumph and near-crisis in presidential advance. Behind every seamless campaign appearance and presidential affair lies the meticulous work of event planners and advance teams—the little-known professionals who transform political logistics into carefully choreographed performances.Here are illuminating first-hand accounts from dedicated employees who worked for every modern-day president from Lyndon Johnson to Barack Obama, a few First Ladies, and vice presidents. Experience some of the most searing events from behind the scenes, including 9/11 from someone who was on Air Force One with President Bush to the day someone tried to assassinate President Ford in California. The professionals sharing their memories are the strategic masterminds who ensure every moment appears effortless and spontaneous, while little is actually left to chance. More than a few went on enjoy influential careers, including Secretary of Defense Robert Gates; radio host and CNN contributor Michael Smerconish; and Fox News anchor Dana Perino.Allowing us to witness presidential history and politics from a new angle, Don’t Tell the President brings together the hilarious chaos of Veep and the grandeur of The West Wing. It is a memorable and at times laugh-out loud funny look at how many presidential events happen—and how many almost went awry.

The Best, Worst, and Mostly Untold Stories from Presidential Advance

Don’t Tell the President

"A powerful story of faith, perseverance, and resilience." Anthony Fauci, M.D., #1 New York Times bestselling author and former Director of the NIAIDWhat drives you forward? Is it the pursuit of your ideals or something deeper that's rooted in the tension between who you are and who you will become?Michael Leach, the first-ever Chief Diversity Office of the White House, in his debut book, Faith Over Fear, takes you on a journey that explores the gap between what we aspire to and what we often settle for, both as individuals and as a society.Often as the lone Black man at the forefront of these organizations and operations, Michael has chosen to learn from his experiences, lead, and help others progress. In 2016, when San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick decided to 'take a knee', Leach resonated profoundly. Kaepernick's actions challenged Michael to balance his identity as a Black man with his professional ambitions within the league. This lead him to leave the NFL and join the Biden-Harris administration.In Faith Over Fear, Michael illuminates the stark contrasts between ideals and realities, shedding light on the hidden dynamics of privilege, power, and systemic injustice. He discusses the importance of DEI and inspires readers to reimagine leadership, resilience, and purpose.Leach shares:<ul><li>How you can close the gap between your ideals and the realities you live in.</li><li>Insights and principles to help you navigate your career, relationships, personal growth, and social challenges.</li><li>How to acknowledge the role of fear and work with others.</li></ul>This is more than a story of one man's journey, it is a call to action for individuals of all backgrounds to harness the power of faith and resilience in the face of adversity. Our country was founded on ideals that promised freedom and opportunity for all, but the reality has often been far more complicated.Leach's story demonstrates by "taking a knee" before God in moments of uncertainty, we can shift life's challenges into opportunities for meaningful progress and collective healing. This book aspires to be a generationally transformative narrative, urging readers to critically examine and bridge the gap between the ideals we hold dear and the realities we live.

Harnessing Resilience in the Face of Uncertainty

Faith Over Fear

From the popular and award-winning staff writer for The Atlantic, an eye-opening look at how the current media landscape has incentivized us to see our fellow citizens as characters in an ongoing entertainment—and how we can fight back against this phenomenon. Whether it’s our reality-television-star President or our expertly curated Instagram feeds, the line between fact and fiction—between what’s real and what’s fabricated for entertainment—has never been more blurred. Plot Twist explores what happens when we cede our reality to spectacle. Megan Garber explains how today’s internet-inflected culture conditions us to see one another not as people but as characters in an ongoing show, and how some of our most chronic and harmful social conditions—loneliness, depression, mistrust, misinformation, cynicism—stem from our demand for diversion.In ten chapters, each themed around an element of stagecraft—from “The Producers,” who edit our reality, to “The Props,” the strangers we turn into objects of our amusement, to “the Haters,” the worshipful Qanon-types who expect the prophecies of their anonymous leader to play out on live television—Garber argues that this comedy of our daily lives is quickly becoming tragedy. And we can’t understand our politics without first understanding our culture.Like The Anxious Generation but about our media diet, Plot Twist shows why Megan Garber is one of the most respected and widely-read journalists of our day. It is an urgent, page-turning, and dazzling look at how we entertained ourselves into our current predicament, and how we might find our way out of the maze of misinformation and chaos.

How to Test Negative for Stupid

David Enrich, the&nbsp;New York Times&nbsp;Business Investigations Editor and the #1 bestselling author of&nbsp;Dark Towers, produces his most consequential and far-reaching investigation yet: an in-depth exposé of the broad campaign?orchestrated by elite Americans?to overturn sixty years of Supreme Court precedent, weaponize our speech laws, and silence dissent.

New York Times Bestseller"Authoritarian governments abroad have long used legal threats and lawsuits against journalists to cover up their disinformation, corruption, and violence. Now, as master investigative journalist David Enrich reveals, those tactics have arrived in America.” —&nbsp;Ruth Ben-Ghiat, author of&nbsp;StrongmenDavid Enrich, the&nbsp;New York Times&nbsp;Business Investigations Editor and the #1 bestselling author of&nbsp;Dark Towers, produces his most consequential and far-reaching investigation yet: an in-depth exposé of the broad campaign—orchestrated by elite Americans—to silence dissent and protect the powerful.It was a quiet way to announce a revolution: In an obscure 2019 case that the Supreme Court refused to even hear, Justice Clarence Thomas raised the prospect of overturning the legendary New York Times&nbsp;v. Sullivan decision. Though hardly a household name, Sullivan&nbsp;is one of the most consequential free speech decisions, ever. Fundamental to the creation of the modern media as we know it,&nbsp;it&nbsp;has enabled journalists and writers all over the country—from top national publications to revered local newspapers to independent bloggers—to pursue the truth aggressively and hold the wealthy, powerful, and corrupt to account.Thomas’s words were a warning—the public awakening of an idea that had been fomenting on the conservative fringe for years. Now it is going mainstream. From the Florida statehouse to small town New Hampshire to Donald Trump's White House, this movement today consists of some of the world’s richest and most powerful people and companies, who believe they should be above scrutiny and want to silence or delegitimize voices that challenge their supremacy. Indeed, many of the same businessmen, politicians, lawyers, and activists are already weaponizing the legal system to intimidate and punish journalists and others who dare criticize them.In this masterwork of investigative reporting, David Enrich,&nbsp;New York Times&nbsp;Business Investigations Editor, traces the roots and reach of this growing threat to our modern democracy. With Trump’s emboldened right-wing coalition committed to demonizing and punishing those who attempt to hold them accountable, Murder the Truth sounds the alarm about the looming war over facts, laying bare the stakes of losing our most sacrosanct rights. The result is a story about power in the age of Trump—the way it’s used by those who have it and the lengths to which they will go to avoid it being questioned.

Fear, the First Amendment, and a Secret Campaign to Protect the Powerful

Murder the Truth

A Revolution of Common Sense

Shortlisted for the British Academy Book Prize Named a Best Book of the Year by the Financial Times and BBC History MagazineA groundbreaking, global retelling of the history of science from 1450 to the present day, exploding the myth that science began in Europe.When we think about the origins of modern science, we usually begin in Europe, praising the great minds of Nicolaus Copernicus, Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin, and Albert Einstein. But this narrow Western gaze is only one part of the story. The reality was an utterly global, nonlinear pattern of cross-fertilization, competition, cooperation and outright conflict. Each rupture in history carved fresh channels for global exchange. Award-winning professor James Poskett celebrates how scientists from Africa, America, Asia, and the Pacific were integral to this very human story. We meet Graman Kwasi, the African botanist who discovered a new cure for malaria; Hantaro Nagaoka, the Japanese scientist who first described the structure of the atom; and Zhao Zhongyao, the Chinese physicist who discovered antimatter. Horizons is a richly informative and timely reminder that scientific achievement is, and has always been, a global endeavor."Superb...This is not just a history of science. It is a history of the modern world seen through the lens of science.” —&nbsp;Los Angeles Review of Books&nbsp;“This treasure trove of a book puts the case persuasively and compellingly that modern science did not develop solely in Europe. Hugely important.”—Jim Al-Khalili

Horizons

The long-awaited memoir, generously illustrated with never-before-seen photos, from the iconic Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, Rush bassist, and New York Times bestselling author of Geddy Lee's Big Beautiful Book of Bass. Geddy Lee is one of rock and roll's most respected bassists. For nearly five decades, his playing and work as co-writer, vocalist and keyboardist has been an essential part of the success story of Canadian progressive rock trio Rush. Here for the first time is his account of life inside and outside the band. Long before Rush accumulated more consecutive gold and platinum records than any rock band after the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, before the seven Grammy nominations or the countless electrifying live performances across the globe, Geddy Lee was Gershon Eliezer Weinrib, after his grandfather was murdered in the Holocaust. As he recounts the transformation, Lee looks back on his family, in particular his loving parents and their horrific experiences as teenagers during World War II. He talks candidly about his childhood and the pursuit of music that led him to drop out of high school. He tracks the history of Rush which, after early struggles, exploded into one of the most beloved bands of all time. He shares intimate stories of his lifelong friendships with bandmates Alex Lifeson and Neil Peart-deeply mourning Peart's recent passing-and reveals his obsessions in music and beyond. This rich brew of honesty, humor, and loss makes for a uniquely poignant memoir.

New York Times bestselling author Simon Winchester returns with a thought-provoking history of the wind, written in his edifying and entertaining style.What is going on with our atmosphere? The headlines are filled with news of devastating hurricanes, murderous tornadoes, and cataclysmic fires affecting large swaths of America. Gale force advisories are issued on a regular basis by the National Weather Service.In 2022, a report was released by atmospheric scientists at the University of Northern Illinois, warning that winds—the force at the center of all these dangerous natural events—are expected to steadily increase in the years ahead, strengthening in power, speed, and frequency.While this prediction worried the insurance industry, governmental leaders, scientists, and conscientious citizens, one particular segment of society received it with unbridled enthusiasm. To the energy industry, rising wind strength and speeds as an unalloyed boon for humankind—a vital source of clean and “safe” power.Between these two poles—wind as a malevolent force, and wind as savior of our planet—lies a world of fascination, history, literature, science, poetry, and engineering which Simon Winchester explores with the curiosity and vigor that are the hallmarks of his bestselling works. In The Breath of the Gods, he explains how wind plays a part in our everyday lives, from airplane or car travel to the “natural disasters” that are becoming more frequent and regular.The Breath of the Gods is an urgently-needed portrait across time of that unseen force—unseen but not unfelt—that respects no national borders and no vessel or structure in its path. Wind, the movement of the air, is seen by so many as a heavenly creation and generally a thing of essential goodness. But when it flexes its invisible muscles, all should take care and be very afraid.

The History and Future of the Wind

"A British journalist explains how no less than the future of the Western World is at stake in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict"--

AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERIn his travels through Israel and Gaza, #1 International Bestselling author Douglas Murray has seen the best and the worst humanity has to offer, and he has no trouble choosing a side.Murray is not Jewish and before October 7, he had never lived in Israel. However, he objects to being lied to, and Israel has been on the receiving end of the biggest, deepest, longest lies in history.&nbsp;Israel's commitment to fundamental Western values—capitalism, individual rights, democracy, and reason—has made it a beacon of progress in a region dominated by authoritarianism and extremism. Israel’s principles vividly contrast with the ideology of Hamas, which openly proclaims its love of death over life. With incisive moral clarity,&nbsp;On Democracies and Death Cults&nbsp;exposes how the campus left and international establishment confuse this conflict by:<ul><li>Calling on&nbsp;Israel for restraint and proportionality, while Hamas commits genocide.</li><li>Slandering Israelis as white colonialists, while only a third of Israelis are Jews of European ancestry.</li><li>Framing the conflict as oppressor vs. oppressed, when it is really between a thriving multi-ethnic democracy and a death cult bent on its annihilation.&nbsp;</li></ul>Drawing from intensive on-the-ground reporting in Israel, Gaza, and Lebanon, Douglas Murray places the latest violence in its proper historical context. He takes readers on a harrowing journey through the aftermath of the October 7 massacre, piecing together the exclusive accounts from victims, survivors, and even the terrorists responsible for the atrocities. If left unchecked, misplaced sympathy could embolden forces that seek to undermine not only Israel, but all of Western civilization.

An Instant New York Times Bestseller!A revealing account of National Security Advisor H.R. McMaster's turbulent and consequential thirteen months in the Trump White House. At War with Ourselves is the story of helping a disruptive President drive necessary shifts in U.S. foreign policy at a critical moment in history. McMaster entered an administration beset by conflict and the hyper partisanship of American politics. With the candor of a soldier and the perspective of a historian, McMaster rises above the fray to lay bare the good, the bad, and the ugly of Trump's presidency and give readers insight into what a second Trump term would look like. While all administrations are subject to backstabbing and infighting, some of Trump's more unscrupulous political advisors were determined to undermine McMaster and others to advance their narrow agendas. McMaster writes candidly about Cabinet officials who, deeply disturbed by Trump's language and behavior, prioritized controlling the President over collaborating to provide the President with options. McMaster offers a frank and fresh assessment of the achievements and failures of his tenure as National Security Advisor and the challenging task of maintaining one's bearings and focus on the mission in a hectic and malicious environment. Determined to transcend the war within the administration and focus on national security priorities, McMaster forged coalitions in Washington and internationally to help Trump advance U.S. interests. Trump's character and personality helped him make tough decisions, but sometimes prevented him from sticking to them. McMaster adroitly assesses the record of Trump's presidency in comparison to the Obama and Biden administrations. With the 2024 election on the horizon, At War with Ourselves highlights the crucial importance of competence in foreign policy, and makes plain the need for leaders who possess the character and intellect to guide the United States in a tumultuous world.
