    Donald Trump and the Republican party misunderstand and miscalculate the conditions of the poor. Since poverty destroys everything that psychologically and physically makes a person whole, it induces impoverished individuals to commit crimes. President Donald Trump and the Republican party, have reduced food benefits for poor Americans, and want to cut social security benefits and health care for poor people while ignoring safe restrictions for our water and environment. The poor condition of people the world over should arouse the conscience of governments to pay more attention to the poor and homeless people of this great nation. This book is not to criticize or point fingers; however, it mainly corroborates the lives of people who are sadly ignored as many of us waste money on vices that poor Americans can use. Now that the United States Supreme Court has decided that homeless people can no sleep on the streets or in parks, it strains their resolve to live from day to day.

    The Art of War dates to the fifth century B.C and is arguably the most famous military treatise ever written. 
Throughout its history, The Art of War has been highly influential. Figures as diverse as Japanese daimyō Takeda Shingen, Chinese communist Mao Tse-Tung, and Finnish field marshal Carl Gustaf Emil Mannerheim have cited the book as inspirational. 
During the Vietnam War the book served as an inspiration and guide for the Vietcong, which brought the book to the attention of the American military. 
The focus of this reworking is to preserve the original intent of Sun Tzu as closely as possible.

    This book is a journey of searching and trying to understand the paranormal. For more than thirty years, I have experienced some form of paranormal activity. This book explores many of those experiences. From the first time I experienced a ghost at the age of five, to high school where I tried my first electronic voice phenomenon. Then, my first EVP capture on tape in my childhood home. 
The book goes further into my experiences in several different schools and states, such as my experiences at a school in West Virginia. While not ghostly per se, the experiences had a paranormal feel to them.
