  If you voted for Donald Trump, and you thought he was joking when he said he'd be "A Dictator just for a day" - I bet you're not laughing now. Are you? 
  And when he continues to say he's "thinking" about extending his time in the White house to a third term, do you think he's Still "joking?" 
  Yes, I know the consitution says no President can serve more than two terms. The Consitution also says it's unlawful to send the National Guard and/or the Army into Cities. Ditto, allowing masked federal agents to stop, harass, and detain anyone guilty - of not looking white - Plus sendng them who knows where without due process..Likewise creating Global economic instability - which also raises Americans cost of living.(This is "America First?") This is, and will always be 'Trump first". And nothing says that better than his 200 Million dollar Roman Emperor ballroom. To be built next to, and, of course, dwarfing the white house. 
  Third Trump Term impossible? Think about it - Who builds a Billionaires Ballroom...and leaves? 
  In the last century, the Editor of the Baltimore Sun newspaper H.L. Mencken observed: "Nobody ever 
  went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people." 
  In Brother Trumps "Golden Age" it is America that is 
  "broke."

  The Ultimate Act of Being Enough is a profound guide for anyone who has felt their value is chained to their output. 
  For Leisa Wallace-a devoted teacher, mother, and entrepreneur-life operated by the "Worth Paradox": the relentless belief that if she just did enough, she would finally be enough. When an aggressive diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis delivered an uninvited stop, the very foundation of her identity collapsed. Her body had failed the performance test, leaving a haunting question: Who are we when the doing stops? 
  This book is a lifeline for the "human doer" trapped in the cycle of striving. Blending raw, heartfelt memoir with transformative insights from psychology, neuroscience, and leadership theory, Wallace dismantles the lie that metrics measure the soul. 
  Readers will learn to: 
  Escape the Efficiency Trap: Dismantle the cultural mandate that links self-worth to exhaustion. 
  Map Your Constellation: Utilize the signature Value Constellation framework to identify the intrinsic "Core Lights"-like courage, creativity, and faith-that shine regardless of output. 
  Live by Absolute Value: Understand the truth that your inherent worth remains constant, whether you are soaring in success or sitting in the stillness of struggle. 
  This is not a book about bouncing back; it is a profound journey to remembering who you have always been. It is time to stop earning your light and start trusting it.

  Malthus and his work

  Thomas Malthus was an English economist and demographer who lived from 1766 to 1834. He is best known for his influential work, "An Essay on the Principle of Population," which was first published in 1798. 
  Malthus argued that population growth would eventually outstrip the available resources, leading to poverty, famine, and disease. He believed that population growth would increase geometrically (exponentially), while the growth of resources would only increase arithmetically (linearly). This meant that, in the long run, population growth would inevitably lead to a scarcity of resources and a decline in living standards. 
  Malthus's work was controversial and was often criticized for its pessimistic outlook on human progress. However, it was also influential and helped to shape the field of demography and population studies. 
  James Bonar was a Scottish economist and historian who lived from 1852 to 1941. He wrote extensively on the history of economic thought and was particularly interested in the work of Malthus. 
  Bonar's most important contribution to the study of Malthus was his biographical work, "Malthus and His Work," which was first published in 1885. This book provides a detailed analysis of Malthus's life and work, as well as an assessment of his contributions to economic thought. 
  Bonar argues that Malthus's work was important because it challenged the prevailing optimistic view of human progress and brought attention to the issue of population growth. He also suggests that Malthus's ideas were misinterpreted by many of his contemporaries, who saw his work as a call for population control or as an attack on the poor. 
  Overall, Bonar's work on Malthus helped to shed light on the importance of Malthus's contributions to economic thought and the continuing relevance of his ideas in modern times.

  Secret Voices - A Year of...

  'Totally addictive.'
  – Alice Loxton, The Daily Telegraph
  'An intriguing, highly snackable guide to women's experiences.'
  
  – Independent
  'A modern classic.'
  
  – Alison Weir, author and historian
  'The sort of book you return to again and again.'
  
  – Tracy Borman, author and historian
   A captivating collection of daily extracts from women's diaries, looking back over four centuries to discover how women's experience – of men and children, sex and shopping, work and the natural world – has changed down the years. And, of course, how it hasn't. 
   Organised around the calendar year, in this engaging anthology you'll find Lady Anne Clifford in the seventeenth century and Loran Hurnscot in the twentieth both stoically recording the demands of an unreasonable husband; Joan Wyndham and Anne Frank, at much the same time, but in wildly different settings, describing their first experiences with sex; and Anne Lister (TV's Gentleman Jack) in eighteenth-century Yorkshire exploring her love affairs with women alongside Alice Walker in twentieth-century California. 
   With several selections for each day, from the 1st January to the 31st December, this book is a fascinating record of how women were thinking, feeling and reacting to historical events. From Virginia Woolf relishing her new haircut and Oprah Winfrey meditating on her career to Emilie Davis chronicling the death of Abraham Lincoln and teenage Ma Yan yearning for education in poverty-stricken China, Secret Voices contains a rich mix of well-known diarists and less familiar ones, and often the voices echoing down the centuries sound eerily familiar today.
