The Anti-Lincoln: President Obama and the Politics of Division , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 276min
My war with the PIGS (Progressive Identity Groups): America has been divided by a disingenuous death cult known as Progressivism and its primary weapon: the Mob. The Progressives use aggressive identity politics to divide and conquer those they seek to rule over. They acquire power by convincing, coercing, or brainwashing individuals into renouncing personal liberty in favor of group rights. Entitlement replaces merit as a path to a better life. The sheeple are taught to seek answers from experts and to scapegoat those who don't adhere to the manufactured consensus. This has been accomplished by contaminating the general public's understanding of individuality and its relationship to the collective. The Progressive ethos was perhaps best stated by Benito Mussolini when he said that "everything is in the State, and nothing human or spiritual exists, much less has value, outside the State". This book is dedicated to exposing the herd mentality of the institutional Left. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: David Wayne Hamelin.

The Forensic Records Society , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 273min
Within a few months we'd witnessed bickering, desertion, subterfuge and rivalry. I was rapidly coming to the conclusion that only a miracle could save us now. Two men with a passion for vinyl create a society for the appreciation of records. Their aim is simple: to elevate the art of listening by doing so in forensic detail. The society enjoys moderate success in the back room of their local pub, The Half Moon, with other enthusiasts drawn to the initial promise of the weekly gathering. However, as the club gains popularity, its founder's uncompromising dogma results in a schism within the movement, and soon a counter group forms. Then the arrival of a young woman called Alice further fractures the unity of the vulnerable society. As rifts are forged and gulfs widen, Magnus Mills examines the surreal nature of ordinary lives. The master of the comic deadpan returns for his ninth novel, a spectacularly disingenuous exploration of power, fanaticism and really, really good records. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Bat Chain Puller: Rock and Roll in the Age of Celebrity , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 720min
Bat Chain Puller (the title is taken from a Captain Beefheart song) is an incisive portrait of a culture unanchored and adrift. In these pieces, veteran MTV commentator and rock journalist Kurt Loder turns his jaundiced eye and trenchant wit on the nature of celebrity as embodied by rock musicians and other pop culture icons. Ride along as Mick Jagger sheds his bad-boy image to embrace the jet-setter lifestyle; ponder the puzzling dichotomy between Prince's racy lyrics and self-proclaimed spirituality; and witness whether The Who's latest tour will indeed be the band's last, or a disingenuous declaration to increase profits.Bat Chain Puller also pays tribute to those who have kept the rebellious torch burning brightly in the glittering land of celebrity: David Bowie, Bob Dylan, Tina Turner, Laurie Anderson, The Beatles The Ramones, Blondie, The Velvet Underground, Iggy Pop, Talking Heads, The Sex Pistols, ZZ Top, Bruce Springsteen, and more... ungekürzt.

In Bed with Susie Bright 375: Let's Have a Rainbow Party and Not Tell Mom!, Hörbuch, Digital, 33min, (USK 18)
When you think of rainbows, what comes to mind? Some might say beautiful colors, gay pride, or maybe Dorothy singing about a place she heard about once in a lullaby. Well, there's a new book out called Rainbow Party that redefines the meaning. It's causing quite a stir, because the rainbow refers to lipstick colors that teens put on to perform oral sex. Yup, and Susie has a lot to say about the book. For starters she calls it a disingenuous adult fantasy being pressed onto teenagers already repressed about sex. Next, Susie discusses an article from The New York Times that looked into an anti-love potion that might actually be the way to finding true love. Analyzing our brain chemistry again...oh those crazy scientists, always trying to find new ways to make research that can steam up our libidos! Then, in the Try This at Home mailbag, Susie gets a letter from a man who wants to know if there really is a G-Spot, or is it just psychological? Susie's answer includes a wonderful examination of fellow sexpert Betty Dodson's study, the G-spot revisited.

Thomas Ewing Jr.: Frontier Lawyer and Civil War General : Shades of Blue and Gray, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 969min
An Ohio family with roots in the South, the Ewings influenced the course of the Midwest for more than 50 years. Patriarch Thomas Ewing, a former Whig senator and cabinet member who made his fortune as a real estate lawyer, raised four major players in the nation’s history - including William Tecumseh “Cump” Sherman, taken into the family as a nine-year-old, who went on to marry his foster sister Ellen. Ronald D. Smith now tells of this extraordinary clan that played a role on the national stage through the illustrious career of one of its sons.He describes the seat-of-the-pants law practice in which Thomas Ewing Jr. worked with his brothers Hugh and Charlie and foster brother Cump. He then tells how Tom came to national prominence in the fight over the proslavery Lecompton Constitution, was instrumental in starting up the Union Pacific Railroad, and became the first chief justice of the Kansas Supreme Court.Ewing obtained a commission in the Union Army - as did his brothers - and raised a regiment that saw significant action in Arkansas and Missouri. After William Quantrill’s raid on Lawrence, Kansas, he issued the dramatic General Order No. 11 that expelled residents from sections of western Missouri. Then this confidant of Abraham Lincoln’s went on to courageously defend three of the assassination conspirators - including the disingenuous Samuel Mudd - and lobbied the key vote to block the impeachment of Andrew Johnson.This book fills the gaps in an interlocking family of remarkable people - one that helped shape a nation’s development in its courtrooms and business suites.The book is published by University of Missouri Press.
