FLEECED: How Barack Obama, Media Mockery of Terrorist Threats, Liberals Who Want to Kill Talk Radio, the Do-Nothing Congress, Companies . . . Are Scamming Us . . . and What to Do About It -- Dick Morris. In this hard-hitting call to arms, Dick Morris and Eileen McGann reveal the hundreds of ways American tax-payers are routinely fleeced—by our own government; by foreign countries like Dubai that are gobbling up American interests and spending millions to influence government decisions and American public opinion; by Washington lobbying firms that are pushing the agendas of corrupt foreign dictators on Capitol Hill; and by hedge-fund billionaires collecting huge tax breaks courtesy of the IRS.

EXTREME MEASURES: A THRILLER -- Vince Flynn. Vince Flynn's thrillers, featuring counterterrorism operative Mitch Rapp, have dominated the imagination of readers everywhere. In them, Flynn has captured the secretive world of the fearless men and women, who, bound by duty, risk their lives in a covert war they must hide from even their own political leaders.Now, Rapp and his protege, Mike Nash, may have met their match. The CIA has detected and intercepted two terrorist cells, but a third is feared to be on the loose. Led by a dangerous mastermind obsessed with becoming the leader of al-Qaeda, this determined and terrifying group is about to descend on America.

RED HOT LIES: How Global Warming Alarmists Use Force, Fraud, and Deception to Keep You Misinformed -- Christopher Horner. The author of the New York Times bestselling "The Politically Incorrect Guide to Global Warming" is back with an exposé of the hypocrisy, deceit, and outright lies of the global warming alarmists and the compliant media that support them. Did you know that most scientists are global warming skeptics? Or that environmental alarmists have knowingly promoted false and exaggerated data on global warming? Or that in the Left's efforts to suppress free speech (and scientific research), they have compared global warming dissent with "treason"?

TOTAL MONEY MAKEOVER: A Proven Plan for Financial Fitness -- Dave Ramsey. Only read this book if you're tired of the "normal" everyday cycle of being in debt - being slave to your lenders. Whether it's credit cards, student loans, car loans, mortgages, etc. Dave Ramsey lays out a plan to break the cycle, change your family tree so your children don't think living paycheck to paycheck and owing huge amounts of debts is normal. As Dave puts it, if that's normal then "be weird." Get out of debt and live in TRUE Financial Peace -- it will change your life.

48 LIBERAL LIES ABOUT AMERICAN HISTORY: (That You Probably Learned in School) -- Larry Schweikart. Over the last forty years, history textbooks have become more and more politically correct and distorted about our country’s past, argues professor Larry Schweikart. The result, he says, is that students graduate from high school and even college with twisted beliefs about economics, foreign policy, war, religion, race relations, and many other subjects. As he did in his popular A Patriot’s History of the United States, Professor Schweikart corrects liberal bias by rediscovering facts that were once widely known. He challenges distorted books by name and debunks forty-eight common myths. A sample:The founders wanted to create a “wall of separation” between church and state, Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation only because he needed black soldiers, Truman ordered the bombing of Hiroshima to intimidate the Soviets with “atomic diplomacy”, and Mikhail Gorbachev, not Ronald Reagan, was responsible for ending the Cold War. America’s past, though not perfect, is far more admirable than you were probably taught.
