The America I Grew Up In
The Rise and Fall of the American Republic give readers a look at how the US government was originally structured vs. how it is structured today. Why was this an important book for you to write?
I love my country but I felt it dying in my lifetime. I wanted to know why. I felt the need to share what I found to bring awareness to those who never knew the America I grew up in. .Without knowing what the disease is, you can’t treat it in order to survive. The people are the vital organs of the country- without sufficient recovery the country can’t survive. I hoped the book would enlighten enough people to encourage, not force, a turnaround, a movement towards a healthy lifestyle that will return each American to a thriving, strong and prosperous existence.
How much research did you undertake for this book and how much time did it take to put it all together?
It took over 6 months to research and write this book, I started with religion in the United States. Why has the message changed since I was a teenager? Originally, eternal life was the result of the lack of sin. Today saying you accept Christ as your Lord and Savior is sufficient to be saved from eternal death without the need to desire to imitate Christ. As a result, continuing to live a sinful life doesn’t matter. The change from “Revealed Religion” to a “Social Religion” led me to additional research on how the absence of the religious principles our country was founded on, allowed the progression of other ideologies into every aspect of our lives like the spread of a disease.
What were some ideas that were important for you to share in this book?
Self-reliance is critical to living a good life. When you stumble, you get up. Practice make perfect. It gives you self-respect, pride in your character, and it gives others someone to look up to, respect for you, and trust in you as a role model. It encourages others to be like yourself-reliant. You will cultivate appreciation, true friends and companions. Someday, when you can no longer care for yourself, others, who followed your lead, will be there for you. You reap what you sow. Should that spread across the nation, there will be no need for dependence on government, no ability for government to control every aspect of your life, because you have, with good reason, self-respect.
What do you hope is one thing readers take away from your book?
The book was written to bring awareness, without being judgmental, that you have a choice: Live the way Americans lived before the 1950’s, or after the alliance of the Democratic Party with the Communist Party in 1953. It is since 1953 that the agenda towards government control began to infiltrate and degrade the education system, and never ending social programs proliferated to replace self-reliance, and guarantee votes from the poorly educated and the unmotivated. I believe without a return to Godly principles and the 2-parent family, a 3 R’s education system and a standard of self-reliance, the next best option will be, for those who do, to prepare to move to a country (like Costa Rica) whose monetary system is not dependent or linked to the U.S. Dollar. Because it seems inevitable that our policies will result in a total collapse of our government and it’s currency, bringing us all down into poverty and under the thumb of a new government that will control all industry, telling you where to live, to work, and paying you what they can afford (a form of Universal Income). We will be equally poor.

By promoting discontent where there was none, they have divided our nation by socioeconomics, race, ethnicity, religion, and politics. There are exaggerated issues of racism, the rich and the poor, business vs. the working class, climate change, entitlements vs. hard work, Socialism vs. Capitalism, and Conservatism vs. Liberalism. All these deceitful distractions are productive tools of our enemy that divert our attention from the master plan to fully install a new form of government that gives full control of our lives to the government.
Most Americans, as well as most politicians, are too distracted by the minutiae mentioned above to see the big picture that this book details. There are no longer enough people who understand or are willing to defend the Constitution that enabled US to become the greatest nation in history while it was strictly interpreted. I fear it is too late to reverse the process now.

Adventures in Local Politics
Adventures in Local Politics by Jeff Perlman shares the inspirational and enlightening journey the author embarked upon as he became mayor of Delray Beach, Florida. The author provides readers with an up close look as to what it takes to be Mayor of a city, detailing the good and the bad.
I enjoyed the moments where we got to learn about the authors personal life. It was like I was having a conversation over lunch and catching up with an old friend. This helps endear you to the author and makes the story much more engaging and personal. While this is ultimately an inspiring story, the author does share his traumatic experience battling COVID and how surviving it changed his perspective on life.
The author covers twenty topics on various subjects throughout the book such as the kind of leadership that it takes to be a mayor, having a clear vision, the ability to execute a plan, and partnering with the community. I also appreciated how deep we dive into each topic. The author shares his experiences and the outcome of his actions. This helps to show readers how to implement the ideas that are presented in the book.
This is the perfect book for readers who want to make a positive change in their community or want to learn what it takes to be in local politics. The author shares valuable information with readers, and I appreciate that he doesn’t sugar coat his bad experiences. Perlman has made big changes in Delray Beach and it shows as the city is now know for its tourism. The author comes off as personable and the tone throughout the book is that of a mentor. I think this book would be beneficial to read in a political studies class as there is a wealth of information shared by the author and lots of topics to discuss. Adventures in Local Politics is a fascinating story that is infused with practical and actionable advice that makes this illuminating book both entertaining and educational.

Believe In Positive Change
Building High Trust CommUNITY examines the contributing factors that have led to mistrust in America’s leaders and the growing divide between the people of the nation and proposes what must be done to resolve the situation. Why was this an important book for you to write?
We have observed the widespread mistrust and divides, which are all around us and so frequently described in the media. We talk about those divides in the book. It was important for us to write about specific approaches to making progress, to rebuilding trust, to bridging divides whether at an individual level or working on larger problems. We have evidence trust can be built with intentional efforts and we want to broadly share this good news.
What were some ideas that were important for you to share in this book?
The first important idea is that it is a myth that there is nothing we can do to build trust. In fact, everything we do contributes to trust or distrust. We can intentionally move from a distrusting to a trusting environment. It takes work but it brings out the best in all of us.
Did you find anything in your research of this book that surprised you?
We were surprised and pleased by the number of people who want to change and contribute to building a more trusting environment—more trusting socially, more trusting politically. Individuals we interviewed for the book, regardless of their backgrounds or political preferences, expressed genuine interest in bridging the divides that have led to negative polarization and the lack of problem-solving so characteristic of our present times.
What do you hope is one thing readers take away from your book?
We hope readers will believe in possibilities; we hope they will believe they can make personal differences in their lives and the lives of the individuals around them. We hope they will believe in positive change and that trust is the bedrock of that change.

The Rise and Fall of the American Republic
Books offering opposing viewpoints and unique takes on current events always catch my eye. I believe that learning what makes others tick can be helpful in the long run. As a public school educator of over 25 years, I was intrigued and felt compelled to read D. Jonathan Scott’s most recent work, and I was not disappointed.
The Rise and Fall of the American Republic offers readers a complete breakdown of the current status of the government of the United States, its history, and what today’s structure looks like compared to its beginnings. Scott goes into great depth as he explains the results of his research into Communism’s appearance in the United States. Scott’s research is thorough, and his examination of Socialism and Communism gives readers a unique perspective on which to contemplate.
Christianity and anything that stands as a threat to it are important in Scott’s examination of current political events in the United States. Readers who are concerned with maintaining a Christian-based society will appreciate Scott’s research, especially when it comes to schools, the media, and laws. Scott has gone to great lengths to help explain how far our country has strayed from its original plans and how that has impacted each and every aspect of our lives today.
As a teacher, I found Scott’s research on education particularly interesting. It’s always enlightening to hear another perspective on public schools and how our children are being taught. Scott not only shares the results of meticulous research, but he gives a list of suggestions for getting our country back on track.
The Rise and Fall of the American Republic is thorough and enlightening and I highly recommend it, although at times it does feel like a textbook. I recommend Scott’s work to anyone looking for a carefully researched explanation of today’s political climate as well as a hard, no-holds-barred breakdown of all that is wrong with our country. Scott minces no words, and his work will resonate with many a reader.

Political Psychology Invasions
Dr. Len Bergantino starts this eye-opening book by taking the reader back to the 2020 election. He writes about the Democrat candidates at the time and analyzes Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, Kamala Harris, and Joe Biden. He then proceeds to write letters to President Trump, where he explains his aggravation and gives guidance on how certain issues should be handled. I take pleasure in reading Dr. Len Bergantino because of how raw he is. His language may come off as too strong, but the tone is what makes his writing distinct. Dr. Len Bergantino writes like a concerned citizen who wants to see his country run in a better manner.
Political Psychology Invasions looks at the past and current political situation and how today’s events influence the future. In the book, readers learn about governance and how challenging it can be to contain some political elements. Dr. Len Bergantino writes in an informative and authentic manner. He does not mind irritating some people as he is objective and true to his word. I like that the author gives praise where it’s due and also criticizes when necessary. Dr. Len Bergantino analyzes the situations discussed in the book with impartiality and gives facts before concluding on a particular topic. In addition, the author explains the political class and how to perform your duties as a citizen.
Apart from the status quo, Dr. Len Bergantino also wrote about music and its role in society. Music may be a universal language, but to Dr. Len Bergantino, music is more than that. It is intimate to him as it is a family business. Being a professional psychoanalyst and a professional musician, Dr. Len Bergantino writes of how he is concerned by today’s music. Having been introduced to music from a young age, Dr. Len Bergantino does not appreciate today’s music as most of it is noise. Instead, the author writes about the importance of music among the masses and why musicians should improve. The author also advises on how to write better music as he narrates his experiences.
Amidst the political analysis and discussions, the author also writes of his adventures, travels, and life experiences. The fusing of his personal tales with the political talk was a great way of killing the monotony that may have been present. I like Dr. Len Bergantino because he writes with confidence. Even when calling out certain political figures, Dr. Len Bergantino gives a good reason. He is bright and great at analyzing human behavior and events.
Political Psychology Invasion will expose readers to politicians’ dealings and help them better understand and examine future political events. This interesting book will give readers much to think over and help them better understand the political environment.

Did We Learn Anything From WTC Towers Collapse?
September 11 is a date that sends a shiver through many peoples’ bodies. The World Trade Center attack is one of the most disastrous terrorist attacks in the world. And while everyone sympathizes with the victims and their families, there are multiple impacts of the attack that are often overlooked. In his book Did We Learn anything from WTC Tower collapse? Critical Review of Final NIST Reports and More, author Gregory Szuladzinski critically analyzes the effects of the attack, the security measures that have been taken since then, how life changed for most and the government’s role in protecting its citizens from attacks of this nature.
Just like the title suggests, this book poses questions not just to authorities, but everyone responsible. Is the United States prepared to handle disasters? What is the long term damages and what can we learn from the reports by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)? The book is all-inclusive as the author has compiled real stats and data to back his analysis. Gregory Szuladzinski is factual and only writes about what he can prove from his experience in aircraft construction, aerospace, and engineering.
The book starts on a solemn note; the damage the WTC attacks caused were devastating. Some people are still suffering from the terror two decades later. The author breaks down every part of the investigation with precision and facts. The author starts by giving a general introduction of the topic and later moves on to discussing the accident investigation and explosions, shedding more light on explosions, structural models, aircraft impact modeling, and other things. As a reader, you are able to look at the towers from an engineering standpoint as you follow this scrutiny.
The language used in this illuminating book is technical, but also comprehensive. The author uses hi-tech terms to expound on the investigation and discuss the towers, their construction style and the planes. As a reader, you get the full picture as the author includes both real images from the crime scene and drawn illustrations. There are pictures after every few pages, drawn clearly to help the reader picture what the author is writing about. The author has added more than just the report done by NIST. The author’s findings are more thorough and share vital information. The book brings closure to those indirectly and directly affected, while also informing readers about the engineering aspect of the WTC. Reading this enlightening book will help readers understand what caused the collapse, the timing of the falls, controversies, and the crucial information missing from NIST reports.

The Rantings of an Uneducated Reactionary
The Ranting of an Uneducated Reactionary is a non-fiction political and social critique of America’s juridical and social systems. This is a thought-provoking conservative manifesto that approaches an array of topics including socialism, liberalism, racial issues, and several others from a conservative point of view. This book offers readers a compendium of controversial topics described in a conversational yet stimulating manner. Oscar Phillips was born and raised in a liberal state and his parents were Democrats. As a child he never demonstrated any interest in politics but stumbled upon the matter during his high school years when he realized the unfairness of the nuclear arms treaty. Around the same time, he watched the debate between Ronald Reagan and Jimmy Carter, and had an epiphany that he was a conservative. After publishing many columns in his local newspaper, the author decided to take it a step further and put them together in a book.
This provocative book explores nearly every controversial topic in America. The author talks about everything from economic matters such as capitalism vs socialism, to more social situations such as the standing of LGBTQ+ community. He talks about how the American left has adopted the terms “progressive” and “non-conformist” as they’re own, glorifying them and making anything that stands against them unacceptable.
Every chapter within this book contains something that one reader or another will find controversial. At times the narration takes on a sardonic or cavalier tone. While the trenchant opinions might be disagreeable, there´s no denying that this book offers a unique perspective on a variety of political topics. I would recommend this book to both side of the political divide; to one side to understand the others point of view, and to the other side to provide a supplement to similar philosophical views. I especially recommend this book for anyone trying to familiarize oneself with political terminology such as liberalism, race, and socialism.
The Ranting of an Uneducated Reactionary provides readers with a clear view of the authors incendiary views. Expressive and observant, this is a book with a unique perspective that’s expressed in no uncertain terms.
