Publisher's summary
The Great New Deal provides a (not quite) fictional preview of future history. This future period may not be as soon as tomorrow, this week, or even this month. Then again, maybe it will be. A global pandemic, political conflict, and social unrest shake America and the world. Leaders learn of an impending existential crisis and work to solve it.
Millions are lost in the Great Surprise. Scientific experts present their conclusions regarding the cause of the Surprise Seizure, something so intense that its victims spontaneously disintegrated, imploded, or experienced a quantum displacement (the experts can’t decide which). Subsequent disasters claim more lives and disrupt communications, infrastructure, and the economy. Emotions are tested and communities unravel. Some push a narrative: The US President declares a National Existential Crisis.
Congress responds swiftly with the Great New Deal, a plan to avert the existential crisis and protect the government. Will these efforts prevent the impending disaster or will they lead into the worst of times? The political elite consolidates power and exercises control through the media/tech monopoly and cancel culture. But they have to watch their own backs at all times.
Others seek the truth: Everyday people in Texas, Missouri, and New Jersey work to protect and support their families, friends, and communities, but are wary of the growing government shadow. Many grieve for someone lost in the Great Surprise and look for an explanation of this catastrophic event. They find clues to the mystery from unexpected sources. They learn of the great war between good and evil and are called to join one side or the other, as the world enters the great battle called The Day of the Lord.
The Great New Deal employs parody and humor to expose dark political and cultural forces that threaten America. It connects the events of today to prophecy in the Bible.
Which side will you choose in this great spiritual war?

Story
Al Franken, Giant of the Senate is a book about an unlikely campaign that had an even more improbable ending: the closest outcome in history and an unprecedented eight-month recount saga, which is pretty funny in retrospect. It's a book about what happens when the nation's foremost progressive satirist gets a chance to serve in the United States Senate and, defying the low expectations of the pundit class, actually turns out to be good at it.

The Thanksgiving holiday was a much-needed respite, a time to connect, a time to reflect on what the year had brought, and what the future might hold. But this year felt different from all those that had come before.

Story
In November 2014, 13 members of the Biden family gathered on Nantucket for Thanksgiving, a tradition they had been celebrating for the past 40 years; it was the one constant in what had become a hectic, scrutinized, and overscheduled life. The Thanksgiving holiday was a much-needed respite, a time to connect, a time to reflect on what the year had brought, and what the future might hold. But this year felt different from all those that had come before.

Story
For more than two decades, Sean Spicer had been a respected political insider, working as a campaign and communications strategist. But in December 2016, he got the call of a lifetime. President-elect Donald J. Trump had chosen him to be the White House press secretary. And life hasn’t been the same since. When he accepted the job, Spicer was far from a household name. But then he walked into the bright lights of the briefing room, and the cameras started rolling. His every word was scrutinized. Every movement was parodied. Every detail became a meme. And that’s just the public side.

Lois Gibbs, Luella Kenny, and other mothers loved their neighborhood on the east side of Niagara Falls. It had an elementary school, a playground, and rows of affordable homes. In the spring of 1977, pungent odors began to seep into these little houses, and it didn’t take long for worried mothers to identify the curious scent. It was the sickly-sweet smell of chemicals.
