STILL WINNING 

by Charlie Hurt

A book by the first journalist to endorse Trump which recaptures the political environment of the 2016 election and humorously describes how Trump espoused an Everyman's outsider’s view and struck a chord with rank and file voters disenfranchised by the free market dogmatists and “Secret Handshake Sect” of the Republican Party.

Cliff's Book Notes

The Nationalist Revival by John Judis

A great analysis of the benefits of and inevitability of nationalism by John Judis, a center-left former socialist, who hates liberals who hate nationalism.  History shows that the resolution of wars often creates the next generation of world crises.  Did the resolution of WWII, with its emphasis on multi-national governmental organizations, tariffs favorable to the conquered nations but harmful to the middle class of the U.S., the rise of a globalist free trade dogmatism, and the emergence of multinational corporations loyal only to themselves, create an environment which has led to the  current international crises and the reemergence of positive nationalism?
