William Barr’s first tenure as attorney general under President George H.W. Bush was largely the result of chance, while his second tenure under President Donald Trump a deliberate and difficult choice. In this candid memoir, Barr takes listeners behind the scenes during seminal moments of the 1990s, from the LA riots to Pan Am 103 and Iran Contra. Thirty years later, Barr faced an unrelenting barrage of issues, such as Russiagate, the COVID outbreak, civil unrest, the impeachments, and the 2020 election fallout.

pretty good read. I wish Barr had discussed in more detail how the law was subverted by the Dems as they went after President Bush.

Story5 out of 5 stars 1,299
It took nearly two millennia for the enemies of the Catholic Church to realize they could not successfully attack the Church from the outside. Indeed, countless nemeses from Nero to Napoleon succeeded only in creating sympathy and martyrs for our Catholic Faith. That all changed in the mid-19th century, when clandestine societies populated by Modernists and Marxists hatched a plan to subvert the Catholic Church from within. Their goal: to change Her doctrine, Her liturgy, and Her mission.

Narration leaves something to be desired
- By Laura on 07-10-19
Unbelievably believable. Bad men in our church?
Reviewed: 01-16-21
I could not put the book down. From pure, sweet children talking to Mary. To hiding what Mary told the children. Then on to the bad men who we thought were devine leaders turn out to be worse men than us regular sinners. God help your church, please. I did not sleep last night. I had to read it all at one sitting, and had to go to church this morning to stop feeling defeated by our ",spiritual" leaders in the Vatican. Save us Lord, protect us from these devil's.
This is a fantastic read.

Congressman Gaetz speaks with passion. His diction is clear. I live his high quality use of the language.
What an eye-opener about the shameful culture that is the life of a Washington dweller.
This is a book for both conservatives and liberals. not so much for the extremes of either persuasion.

Trey Gaudy reveals how to allow yourself to grow in a contentious world. He is the authentic Southern Gentleman prosecutor turned polititian who kept his humanity and subservience to the exercise of the law and to the blind lady with the scales. A beautiful job. Listen to him instead of reading him. That's an added bonus

In 2015, a major story broke exposing Hillary Clinton's role in approving the sale of an American uranium company to the Russian state nuclear agency Rosatom. An indispensable guide to the hidden background of recent events, Fallout shows how Putin's bid for nuclear dominance produced a series of political scandals that ultimately posed one of the greatest threats to our democracy in modern American history.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 572
D’Souza explains that the reason Obama appears to be working to destroy America from within is found, as Obama himself admits, in The Dreams of My Father: a deeply hostile anticolonialism. Instilled in him by his father, this worldview has led President Obama to resent America and everything we stand for. D’Souza masterfully shows how Obama is working to weaken and punish America here and abroad.

I love this extraordinary clear expose of Obama's anti-colonial world view. Now I understand why Obama ran down our country. He wanted us to no longer be a stand out among nation's. Everyone, liberal and conservative, will learn from this coherent biography.
Sean Runnette does a superb reading, with steady emotion and emphasis. Five stars to him

First honest-to-goodness sharing of the struggle.
Reviewed: 05-17-20
I did it cold turkey in 1987 and remain sober since then. It was rough, and how I would have appreciated this audiobook. The author, Mishka, is sincere, wants to help, and is honest about the trip to no longer drink alcohol. Mishka does a great job of portraying what his journey was like. I found myself in his story, without the other addictive stuff. I encourage everyone yearning for a fresh start to listen to this audiobook. This audiotape is a great place to start. Go for it.

In Arguing with Socialists, New York Times best-selling author Glenn Beck arms listeners to the teeth with information necessary to debunk the socialist arguments that have once again become popular, and proves that the free market is the only way to go. With his trademark humor, Beck lampoons the resurgence of this bankrupt leftist philosophy with thousands of stories, facts, and arguments for anyone who is willing to ask the hard questions.

Story4 out of 5 stars 13
The Battle of Waterloo has become synonymous with the word defeat, but who lost, and why was it important? In 1815, Napoleon Bonaparte left the island of Elba and, in a space of 100 days, took power and challenged the entire world to meet him on his terms. When that failed, he offered them a fight, one that would end at Waterloo, and left repercussions which can still be felt, even now, centuries later.

A name, Waterloo, became more than a name in this confusing multinational fight. How did the armies communicate in the rain and mud? I felt I was there, and felt as unsettled by the uncertainties in the decision-making of the principal's. I loved this storytelling. well done.
