Book Description
Last year we saw how a governmental hodgepodge of societal issues caused people with opposing viewpoints to vehemently disagree with one another. During the 2016 Presidential election and campaign seasons involving Sen. Hilary Clinton, Dem. and Donald Trump, Rep;., the main Liberal and Conservative political branches went against each other in a moral divide which harmed the fragile fabric which holds the American population together. The unfortunate 'racial' bigotry, violence, and hatred which has been fostered (mostly)by the actions and words of Donald J. Trump, who has become the 45th President of the U.S., is almost incredulously inconceivable. He has become an embarrassment to decency with alleged "Christian Evangelical" people giving him his strongest support; regardless of the undisguised blatant, destructible lies he utters on a DAILY basis. His presidency is dangerous to the well-being of this Country. So, I wrote about him in verse.

Book Description
Sadly, our nation is under a current administration that is willing to demonize many of its citizens by denigrating their character. The 45th president of the United States of America attacks our democracy and defies constitutional beliefs which were put in place to protect those citizens from people such as himself--donald trump wants America to be his little fiefdom where the rules of governance should only enhance the wealthiest people, destroy our environment, show favoritism to racism's paradigm, and challenge the freedoms he has taken for granted all of his life. This book is dedicated to the disaster known as "donald trump's presidency" and each poem is a statement of protest AGAINST his destructive incivility, puerile combativeness, and his detachment from the "TRUTH"!

Book Description
It is very important for every person to accept or reject the intensely gratifying messages we receive through our lives. The uncountable numbers of blessings and miracles given to us through the Holy Spirit are essential to our spirit's well-being. We have an advantage over every other creature on our planet--to be able to discern right and wrong and act accordingly. Volume 5 continues this spiritual messaging with poetry I had written around ten years ago. It is exceptionally relevant, as are all the other poems I've written.

Book Description
There are 47 poems in this book of rhyming poetry. It has poems for my mother (in particular), a past President, some written for other people who have been an integral part of the shaping of my personal life, and poems about my sociological view of this country. There are a few poems written after the death of my son's father who was murdered in the fall of 1990. For most of the poems, I made a conscious effort to include ones regarding our spiritual lives which have a great impact on our views and how we react or respond to issues and trials every day of the earthly journey we find ourselves on.

Book Description
As this bestseller predicted, Trump has only grown more erratic and dangerous as the pressures on him mount. This new edition includes new essays bringing the book up to date—because this is still not normal. Originally released in fall 2017, The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump was a runaway bestseller. Alarmed Americans and international onlookers wanted to know: What is wrong with him? That question still plagues us. The Trump administration has proven as chaotic and destructive as its opponents feared, and the man at the center of it all remains a cipher. Constrained by the APA’s “Goldwater rule,” which inhibits mental health professionals from diagnosing public figures they have not personally examined, many of those qualified to weigh in on the issue have shied away from discussing it at all. The public has thus been left to wonder whether he is mad, bad, or both. The prestigious mental health experts who have contributed to the revised and updated version of The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump argue that their moral and civic "duty to warn" supersedes professional neutrality. Whatever affects him, affects the nation: From the trauma people have experienced under the Trump administration to the cult-like characteristics of his followers, he has created unprecedented mental health consequences across our nation and beyond. With eight new essays (about one hundred pages of new material), this edition will cover the dangerous ramifications of Trump's unnatural state. It’s not all in our heads. It’s in his.

Book Description
In the three years since Donald Trump first announced his plans to run for president, the United States seems to become more dramatically polarized and divided with each passing month. There are seemingly irresolvable differences in the beliefs, values, and identities of citizens across the country that too often play out in our legal system in clashes on a range of topics such as the tensions between law enforcement and minority communities. How can we possibly argue for civic aspirations like tolerance, humility, and patience in our current moment? In Confident Pluralism, John D. Inazu analyzes the current state of the country, orients the contemporary United States within its broader history, and explores the ways that Americans can—and must—strive to live together peaceably despite our deeply engrained differences. Pluralism is one of the founding creeds of the United States—yet America’s society and legal system continues to face deep, unsolved structural problems in dealing with differing cultural anxieties and differing viewpoints. Inazu not only argues that it is possible to cohabitate peacefully in this country, but also lays out realistic guidelines for our society and legal system to achieve the new American dream through civic practices that value toleration over protest, humility over defensiveness, and persuasion over coercion. With a new preface that addresses the election of Donald Trump, the decline in civic discourse after the election, the Nazi march in Charlottesville, and more, this new edition of Confident Pluralism is an essential clarion call during one of the most troubled times in US history. Inazu argues for institutions that can work to bring people together as well as political institutions that will defend the unprotected. Confident Pluralism offers a refreshing argument for how the legal system can protect peoples’ personal beliefs and differences and provides a path forward to a healthier future of tolerance, humility, and patience.
