Great Best Seller Book the Biden Admin Should All Read: 'The Art of the Deal'

Article Title: Great Best Seller Book the Biden Admin Should All Read: 'The Art of the Deal'

Snippet of Article: Get The Art of the Deal "Here is Trump in action—how he runs his organization and how he runs his life—as he meets the people he needs to meet, chats with family and friends, clashes with enemies, and challenges conventional thinking. But even a maverick plays by rules, and Trump has formulated time-tested guidelines for success. He isolates the common elements in his greatest accomplishments; he shatters myths; he names names, spells out the zeros, and fully reveals the deal-maker’s art. And throughout, Trump talks—really talks—about how he does it. Trump: The Art of the Deal is an unguarded look at the mind of a brilliant entrepreneur—the ultimate read for anyone interested in the man behind the spotlight.

Praise for Trump: The Art of the Deal

“Trump makes one believe for a moment in the American dream again.”—The New York Times

“Donald Trump is a deal maker. He is a deal maker the way lions are carnivores and water is wet.”—Chicago Tribune

“Fascinating . . . wholly absorbing . . . conveys Trump’s larger-than-life demeanor so vibrantly that the reader’s attention is instantly and fully claimed.”—Boston Herald

“A chatty, generous, chutzpa-filled autobiography.”—New York Post"

Failed Border Czar Kamala Harris Still Hasn't Figured Out 'Root Causes' Border Invasion of America

Article Title: Failed Border Czar Kamala Harris Still Hasn't Figured Out 'Root Causes' Border Invasion of America
Kamala Harris also known as the 'Trojan Horse' is completely derelict in her job as the 'Border czar.' As a working class individual it is difficult to understand how someone that is not only incompetent but hates white people is able to maintain any position in government. Unfortunately we have President Biden who his obviously mentally incapable of performing his job let alone the job of the vice president. Americans are left scratching our heads trying to figure out what this anti-democracy Biden regime is trying to accomplish by allowing the border invasion. We are especially concerned because President Trump had nearly finished the border wall in spite of constant attacks by democrats but the Biden regime put a stop to the wall immediately and Harris hasn't accomplished any positive movement in closing the wide open border. Then when you factor in the FBI allegedly hiding and taking no legal action relating to the Hunter Biden laptop that clearly has already proven that the Biden admin is most likely compromised. Sadly we now have a young society that has not been educated in U.S. history or even the basics of garnering all sides of a news story. Instead too many people only want to listen to those in the media that only spit their own patisan spin thus never getting an objective take on things. What is even worse is the citizens of the U.S. sit snacking on chips and drinking the kool-aid while terrorist, drug cartels and human traffikers infiltrate and take over the country. Then we have the 'sissy-boy' Governor Newsome who is banning gas powered lawn equipment among more crazy things: The new state law, which goes into effect on Jan. 1, 2024, will phase out the sale of new gas-powered equipment using small off-road engines, which can include anything from lawn mowers to backup generators to pressure washers. Other laws signed by Newsom this month include a mandate for menstrual products to be provided for free in public schools and colleges, and that all high school students take a course in ethnic studies in order to graduate starting in the 2029-30 school year. He also signed a law banning restaurants from giving away single-use plasticware, condiments, and utensils unless specifically requested by the customer. Last month, he made it illegal to film someone near an abortion clinic. Sadly, if voters don't vote America-Destroying/hating politicians out of office we will loose this once great country. Please vote these destructive individuals out of office and not repeat these huge mistakes. Failed Border Czar Kamala Harris Still Hasn't Figured 'Root Causes' Out Border Invasion of America
