  Something’s wrong with this airplane. What’s happening to me…? 
  I’ve always been targeted by bullies, but I’m finally starting to understand why. They can see through me. They can smell weakness. 
  I own the airline, but my newest flight attendants are giving me an education in employee management. They’ve made me commit unspeakable acts in the onboard restroom. They’ve made me wear a skirt and serve them drinks. 
  But now that I’m naked and bound in the cockpit, I finally understand my place. 
  I work for them now. 
  Pleasure is my salary. Pain is my bonus.

  They Called Us River Rats: The Last Batture Settlement of New Orleans is the previously untold story of perhaps the oldest outsider settlement in America, an invisible community on the annually flooded shores of the Mississippi River. This community exists in the place between the normal high and low water line of the Mississippi River, a zone known in Louisiana as the batture. 
   
   
   
  Until now the stories of this way of life have existed only in the memories of those who have lived here. They Called Us River Rats also explores the troubled relationship between people inside the levees, the often-reviled batture folks, and the river itself. It traces the struggle between batture folks and city authorities, the commercial interests that claimed the river, and Louisiana's most powerful politicians. 
   
   
   
  Today Fry is among the senior generation of "River Rats" living in a vestigial colony of twelve "camps" on New Orleans's river batture, a fragment of a settlement that once stretched nearly six miles and numbered hundreds of homes. It is the last riparian settlement on the Lower Mississippi and a contrarian, independent life outside urban zoning, planning, and flood protection. This book is for everyone who ever felt the pull of the Mississippi River or saw its towering levees and wondered who could live on the other side.

  America today is lopsided. Although there are millions of Americans who disagree with the prevailing progressive orthodoxy, they nevertheless tolerate it to avoid heated debate. Meanwhile, progressives push their agenda relentlessly and passionately and have achieved dominance over many American institutions including the News Media, Big Tech, Education, entertainment, bureaucracy, and big business. These institutions operate outside the confines of the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights. This book describes the who, what, how, and why of the progressive agenda and suggests ways to slow down the deterioration of America.

  Albert Camus, a prominent French philosopher and writer, is renowned for his exploration of Absurdism, a philosophical perspective addressing the inherent conflict between human beings' quest for meaning and the indifferent universe that provides none. Born in Mondovi, Algeria, in 1913, Camus’s early experiences with poverty and colonialism profoundly influenced his worldview. His intellectual journey was marked by his involvement in the French Resistance during World War II and his role as a public intellectual, shaping his distinctive approach to existentialist themes. 
  Absurdism, at the heart of Camus's philosophy, highlights the tension between our innate desire for meaning and the universe's inherent indifference. Camus posits that this conflict gives rise to what he terms "the absurd." This condition reflects the realization that our search for purpose clashes with the chaotic and meaningless nature of existence. 
  In his seminal essay, The Myth of Sisyphus, Camus introduces the figure of Sisyphus as an emblem of the absurd hero. Sisyphus, condemned to roll a boulder up a hill for eternity only to see it roll back down, symbolizes the human struggle against the absurd. Camus famously concludes that “one must imagine Sisyphus happy,” suggesting that the very act of persevering in the face of eternal struggle can become a source of triumph and personal fulfillment.

  How to Do the Right Thing - An...

  How ancient Stoicism can help teach us to treat others—and ourselves—more fairly and mercifully 
   
   
   
  There are times when we've all felt that we haven't been treated as we deserve—that we've been misjudged, shortchanged, or given a raw deal. And, at one time or another, other people have probably felt that we've treated them just as unfairly. How to Do the Right Thing draws on the principles of ancient Stoicism as articulated by the Roman statesman and philosopher Seneca to help listeners better navigate one of the most important practical questions of daily life—how to do right by others. 
   
   
   
  Starting from the virtue of magnanimity—the opposite of small-mindedness—How to Do the Right Thing draws together lessons from Seneca's writings that stress the importance of calm and clear thinking, of judging oneself fairly before judging others, and of cutting people slack, with a bias toward mercy—all delivered in crisp and lively new translations.
