Some of these may be older publications, but they are timeless and continue to be relevant today.

Arguments With Idiots by Glenn Beck - “Idiots can't be identified through voting records, they can be found only by looking for people who hide behind stereotypes, embrace partisanship, and believe that bumper sticker slogans are a substitute for common sense. If you know someone who fits the bill, then Arguing with Idiots will help you silence them once and for all with the ultimate weapon: the truth”.

The Creature from Jekyll Island by G. Edward Griffin - “There was no doubt in my mind that the Federal Reserve is one of the most dangerous creatures ever to stalk our land.  Furthermore, as my probing brought me into contact with more and more hard data, I came to realize that I was investigating one of the greatest “who-dunits” of history.  And, to make matters worse, I discovered who did it.”

The People’s Money by Scott Rasmussen - “How Voters will balance the budget and eliminate the Federal Debt”.

The Way Things Ought to Be by Rush Limbaugh “Limbaugh delivers his spirited defense of conservative values in blunt talk, with scathing wit.”

1984 by George Orwell – “Written more than 70 years ago, 1984 was George Orwell’s chilling prophecy about the future. And while 1984 has come and gone, his dystopian vision of a government that will do anything to control the narrative is timelier than ever...”

Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith - The Scottish economist and moral philosopher’s landmark treatise, The Wealth of Nations (1776), is relevant today not only because it makes a still pertinent and compelling case for free trade, low taxes, and the “invisible hand” of the marketplace. It also resonates by calling out, with acumen and eloquence, the “folly and presumption” of any persons or group who believes themselves fit to direct the affairs of other people.

Capitalism -The Unknown Ideal by Ayn Rand - “In this series of essays, Ayn Rand presents her stand on the persecution of big business, the causes of war, the default of conservatism, and the evils of altruism.”

The Federalist Papers - The Federalist Papers were written and published to urge New Yorkers to ratify the proposed United States Constitution, which was drafted in Philadelphia in the summer of 1787. In lobbying for adoption of the Constitution over the existing Articles of Confederation, the essays explain particular provisions of the Constitution in detail. For this reason, and because Hamilton and Madison were each members of the Constitutional Convention, the Federalist Papers are often used today to help interpret the intentions of those drafting the Constitution.

Coolidge by Amity Shlaes – a biography - As America’s 30th President (1923-1929), Calvin Coolidge demonstrated his determination to preserve the old moral and economic precepts of frugality amid the material prosperity which many Americans were enjoying during the 1920s era.

 A History of the American People by P. Johnson - “Sometimes controversial and always provocative, A HISTORY OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE is one author’s challenging and unique interpretation of American history. Johnson’s views of individuals, events, themes, and issues are original, critical, and in the end admiring, for he is, above all, a strong believer in the history and the destiny of the American people.”

Injustice by J.C. Adams – “The Department of Justice is America’s premier federal law enforcement agency. And according to J. Christian Adams, it’s also a base used by leftwing radicals to impose a fringe agenda on the American people. A five-year veteran of the DOJ and a key attorney in pursuing the New Black Panther voter intimidation case, Adams recounts the shocking story of how a once-storied federal agency, the DOJ’s Civil Rights division has degenerated into a politicized fiefdom for far-left militants, where the enforcement of the law depends on the race of the victim.”

Justice On Trial by Mollie Hemmingway – a fascinating recollection of the confirmation of SCJ Brett Kavanaugh.  Plenty of small, telling vignettes that only a participant with impeccable sources could obtain.

Why are Jews Liberals? By N. Podhoretz – “sets out to explain the attraction even obsession--of American Jews to liberalism, a phenomenon that Irving Kristol, the "godfather" of neo-conservatism, called the "political stupidity of the Jews": Why do American Jews, who are overwhelmingly middle-class, vote against their economic interests by supporting higher taxes and the welfare state? Why do American Jews time and again misplace their faith in the democratic Left and fail to see that the Religious Right is the staunchest supporter of Israel in the world? And why are Jews so afraid that the first thing Republicans will do in office is implement prayer in schools?”

The Strong Man by James Rosen - a biography of James Mitchell - “Based on 250 original interviews and hundreds of thousands of previously unpublished documents and tapes, The Strong Man resolves definitively the central mysteries of the Nixon era: the true purpose of the Watergate break-in, who ordered it, the hidden role played by the Central Intelligence Agency, and those behind the cover-up.”

One Vote Away by Ted Cruz - “God may endow us with “certain unalienable rights,” but whether we enjoy them depends on nine judges—the “priests of the robe” who have the last say in our system of government. Drawing back the curtain of their temple, Senator Cruz reveals the struggles, arguments, and strife that have shaped the fate of those rights. No one who reads One Vote Away can ever again take a single seat on the Supreme Court for granted.”

New Deal or Raw Deal by B. Folsom -a critical look at the New Deal

The Forgotten Man by A. Shlaes – “Amity Shlaes, one of the nation's most-respected economic commentators, offers a striking reinterpretation of the Great Depression. She traces the mounting agony of the New Dealers and the moving stories of individual citizens who through their brave perseverance helped establish the steadfast character we recognize as American today.” 

Iron Curtain by A. Applebaum - “An excellent account of the stages by which the communists seized power. It tells the story not only of the ferocity of communist repression, but also of the endless series of petty and not-so-petty compromises by which the mass of the population was persuaded to acquiesce in communist rule.”

 American Marxism by Mark Levin – “Mr. Levin shines a light on all the crazy that perpetuates the headlines of today’s media: BLM, Antifa, CRT, “The Squad”, Activists, Socialists, and every sort of Equity you can think of. These have become a collective identity and class consciousness that is the foundation of “American Marxism”. It’s insidious.”
