Condizione: Very Good. Zomorod (Cindy) Yousefzadeh is the new kid on the block . . . for the fourth time.

Condizione: Very Good. NATIONAL BESTSELER Terrific. -- BEN SHAPIRO Outstanding. -- DANA LOESCH The Left is on the attack, and the war for our country is at a crucial tipping point. Liberals know they're within reach of radically transforming America. They don't like the U.S. Constitution. They're allergic to Americans' gun culture. They find our faith and our devotion to family distasteful. And our commitment to liberty positively sends them into a panic. As soon as the Democrats get power anywhere, they stand ready to throw our God-given rights under the bus of political correctness, transgender insanity, and socialism (the economic system that always promises equality and utopia, but somehow always delivers resentment, poverty, and decay). So how can we tip the momentum back in our favor? How can we fight effectively for freedom, the U.S. Constitution, limited government, faith and family, and the survival of the American Republic? Liz Wheeler to the rescue The popular host of One America News Network's Tipping Point with Liz Wheeler is a brilliant and highly effective debater who shows how we can go on the rhetorical attack against the Left--and win--with a multi-technique program for catching the Left in their inconsistencies and under-handed schemes and skewering them for their bold-faced lies. In Tipping Points: How to Topple the Left's House of Cards, Liz Wheeler identifies the five Tipping Points where liberals are poised to win, trains you in her proven debating techniques, and deputizes you to take up arms in the fight for our nation's heart and soul. It's training you need right now, today. Our country is at a tipping point. And make no mistake--if the Left isn't defeated, they're taking down America.…

Condizione: Good. Every president has had a unique and complicated relationship with the intelligence community. While some have been coolly distant, even adversarial, others have found their intelligence agencies to be among the most valuable instruments of policy and power. Since John F. Kennedy's presidency, this relationship has been distilled into a personalized daily report: a short summary of what the intelligence apparatus considers the most crucial information for the president to know that day about global threats and opportunities. This top-secret document is known as the President's Daily Brief, or, within national security circles, simply the Book. Presidents have spent anywhere from a few moments (Richard Nixon) to a healthy part of their day (George W. Bush) consumed by its contents; some (Bill Clinton and George H. W. Bush) consider it far and away the most important document they saw on a regular basis while commander in chief. The details of most PDBs are highly classified, and will remain so for many years. But the process by which the intelligence community develops and presents the Book is a fascinating look into the operation of power at the highest levels. David Priess, a former intelligence officer and daily briefer, has interviewed every living president and vice president as well as more than one hundred others intimately involved with the production and delivery of the president's book of secrets. He offers an unprecedented window into the decision making of every president from Kennedy to Obama, with many character-rich stories revealed here for the first time.…
