  We all wonder whether planet Earth has been visited by aliens. Millions of people around the planet have seen them. But very few people can see what is happening on our moon. It is in fact a perfect place for aliens to use as a base for visiting us. Especially because the dark side of the moon cannot be observed by us. 
   
  Could it be that our secretive governments know about them? Has NASA come into contact with them? The fact is astronauts from several countries claim to have seen UFO’s on or near the moon. Even NASA astronauts have claimed in public that there was and is a government cover up. 
   
  So what is the truth? Are there aliens on the moon?

  Abortion and The Senseless...

  The overturning of Roe V. Wade will have long-term and indelible consequences on American society. 
  The purpose of this book is to be part of the on-going conversations. 
  Perfect or not, Roe was working for America. Consequently, it did not need to be “fixed”. 
  The ignorance of attempting to fix it when the ramifications were unknown, has resulted in chaos, confusion, inconvenience and trauma for women who need abortions. In many cases viability of the embryo dictates an abortion. 
  Also important is the fact that medical decisions were taken out of the hands of physicians. That is a “No, no”! 
  The book also addresses the issue of poor ethics in the Supreme Court as this was also a factor in overturning Roe, as was arrogance.

  Grant at 200 - Reconsidering the...

  Ulysses S. Grant stood at the center of the American Civil War maelstrom. The Ohio native answered his nation's call to service and finished the war as a lieutenant general in command of the United States Army. Four years later, he ascended to the presidency to better secure the peace he had helped win on the battlefield. Despite his major achievements in war and peace, political and sectional enemies battered his reputation. For nearly a century, his military and political career remained deeply misunderstood. 
   
   
   
  Since the Civil War centennial, however, Grant's reputation has blossomed into a full renaissance. His military record garners new respect and, more recently, an appreciation for his political career—particularly his strong advocacy for equal rights—is quickly catching up. 
   
   
   
  Throughout these decades, his personal memoirs marking him as a significant American "Man of Letters" have never gone out of print. Grant at 200: Reconsidering the Life and Legacy of Ulysses S. Grant celebrates the bicentennial of the birth of a man whose towering impact on American history has often been overshadowed and, in many cases, ignored. This collection of essays by some of today's leading Grant scholars offers fresh perspectives on Grant's military career and presidency, as well as underexplored personal topics such as his faith and family life.
