American Injustice - My Battle...

John Paul Mac Isaac

As seen on Tucker Carlson Tonight! 
 
 
 
This is the story of how I tried to get the Hunter Biden laptop evidence to the authorities. 
 
 
 
My life changed forever on April 12, 2019, when Hunter Biden stumbled into my shop requesting data recovery from one of his liquid-damaged laptops. After his father announced his candidacy for president of the United States, and Hunter failed to pay for and collect his computer, fear for my safety grew. There was paperwork in Hunter's possession giving me permission to examine and copy his data—someone was going to come looking for the laptop, and come looking for me. Concerned that I was sitting on evidence in a criminal investigation, I set out to hand everything over to the FBI. But, feeling betrayed by the FBI's inaction in providing the laptop as evidence during the impeachment trial, I then turned to Congress, and ultimately, to a lawyer for the president, Rudy Giuliani. When the story broke, Big Tech and social and mainstream media blocked the reporting. I was instantly labeled as a hacker and a criminal. My actions were labeled Russian disinformation, and it didn't take long before people started attacking my business and my character, forcing me to close my shop and flee the state.

Patient Doctor Privilege

David A Fulton

Being the subject matter and writer, David takes a no-holds-bar approach to deciphering his past. From being a teenager fed up with the lack of guidance from the adults in his life, to an angry 20-year-old that thinks he knows everything and ultimately a man who had to put the pieces back together after being committed to several psych wards on a number of occasions. He never saw the moment on the end of his bed thinking about the nature of the world resulting in him losing touch with reality. But it was the moment he broke through the pressures in the west: to be better; to work harder; and ultimately chase your dreams. That he realised nothing meant anything. The only purpose in life was to laugh when something was funny, cry when something was sad, move when the wind blew, eat when you were hungry and enjoy ever fleeting moment. However, being a disciplined, calculated, accomplished engineer, this new paradigm didn’t fit in with the persona he had spent a like time creating. On multiple occasions these two conflicting worlds clashed and opened up opportunities for growth and self-discovery. But be prepared. While talking about his underlying issues has become second nature for him, and he has been hospital free for several years, his autobiography is confronting, confusing and potentially eye opening. Unlike the hero he thought he was at a young age, he closes with identifying with the coward within and admitting that just because he couldn’t see a future, it didn’t mean one wasn’t awaiting him around the corner. Similarly, to that which is discussed behind closed doors, he opens with inviting you to his ‘Patient Doctor Privilege’. He contests such a privilege needs to be dissolved for the collective benefit and admits despite the necessity to disconnect at times, that each of us, no matter how fucked up we are or even if we’ve hurt someone, we need to talk about it with one another.

Anger Management - Techniques...

Coral Nunez

Anger is a powerful emotion that can impact our lives in profound ways. It can arise in moments of frustration, disappointment, or perceived injustice, and, if left unchecked, can lead to regrettable actions and damaged relationships. While anger is a natural and normal response, learning to manage it effectively is crucial for maintaining healthy connections, achieving personal growth, and finding inner peace. When we allow anger to control us, it can fuel conflicts, impact our mental and physical health, and create barriers to personal and professional success.
Effective anger management is about more than suppressing or ignoring angry feelings; it’s about understanding, channeling, and transforming those feelings in constructive ways. This requires self-awareness, discipline, and a commitment to self-improvement. Through recognizing the underlying causes of anger, we can begin to address the root issues rather than simply reacting to the symptoms. Mastering anger management allows us to regain control over our emotional responses and, ultimately, our lives.
This book provides a comprehensive approach to managing anger by combining practical techniques, psychological insights, and real-life applications. Whether you’re someone who frequently experiences intense anger or simply looking to improve emotional balance, this guide offers tools to help you navigate challenging situations with clarity and control. Each chapter is designed to address different aspects of anger, from recognizing triggers and practicing immediate calming techniques to implementing long-term strategies for lasting emotional balance.
