  Day of Reckoning - How the Far...

  The United States has become an almost unrecognizable country—with millions in thrall to conspiracy theories, toxic populism, and the far right edging closer to total power—a dire threat to civil society and democratic institutions. While the MAGA movement was in remission due to Donald Trump's defeat in 2020, the fascist fringes have not just survived but have continued to thrive and burrow into the mainstream. The January 6th Capitol Riot prosecutions have done little to curb their enthusiasm for mayhem. 
   
   
   
  Trump's base in the Republican Party is committed to their candidate like never before. The institutionalization of racist voter suppression and the outdated logic behind the Electoral College means he could take back the White House. Apocalyptic messaging ensures the alt-right, anti-government, anti-LGBT, and white nationalist groups see the next election as a life-or-death struggle and are uniting to back the one person they can all agree on—guaranteeing another chaotic election. 
   
   
   
  In this chilling exposé, Wendling encounters Capital rioters, Covid deniers, QAnon supporters, and Proud Boys and uncovers the roots of a movement that threatens to shatter the foundations of democracy.

  A Cancelled Teacher

  During the years of 1995-2008 I fought the law (Secondary School Administrators) and the law won. I taught with my heart and not my head. I gave my all but did not know this was not allowed. I was nominated Teacher of the Year Twice. Yet lost it because I was teaching out of my area. I left twice in the middle of the year, well three times because the Law was not doing its job. This is a book I feel every new teacher or even a veteran should read. It is a tale all, no holds barred, except changing the names, locations to protect from any law suits. At first I labeled this “Teaching Black While White” because many districts I worked in were minority based or “At Risk.” Now I must warn my readers; this is a male Caucasian teacher not realizing this game is ruled by the opposite sex. Though most of my enemies were male Principals. I will be able to give you some subtle guides as to what to do and what not to do at any school. This book is dedicated to students every where who are stereo typed as low achievers. Also to teachers or educators who are thinking of giving up; don't give them the satisfaction. Stay in the game!

  Depression and Burnout -...

  This book consists of two titles which are: 
  Depression VS Laziness - Laziness is often associated with a lack of desire to do things, simply choosing to avoid effort or responsibility. It can be seen as a personal failing or a bad habit, something that can be corrected by willpower and discipline. However, the concept of laziness often oversimplifies the complex reasons people may avoid action. Many factors, including fear, perfectionism, or lack of structure, can contribute to this behavior. Depression, on the other hand, is a mental health condition that goes far beyond feeling "lazy." It's characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and a loss of interest in activities that were once enjoyable. Depression can impact every aspect of life, including sleep, appetite, and the ability to concentrate. Unlike laziness, which is typically seen as a temporary choice, depression can cause deep, overwhelming fatigue that can make even the most basic tasks feel insurmountable. 
  Recognizing Burnout - Burnout is a term often thrown around to describe feelings of exhaustion or dissatisfaction, but its true meaning goes much deeper. It is a state of physical, emotional, and mental exhaustion caused by prolonged and excessive stress. Unlike a passing bout of tiredness, burnout doesn’t resolve with a weekend of rest or a day off. It builds over time, slowly depleting your energy, motivation, and ability to function effectively. Yet, for many, the signs of burnout can be easy to overlook, often dismissed as laziness or a lack of ambition.

  Underwater - The Greed-Soaked...

  While the celebrity victims of Dr. Larry Nassar and the USA Gymnastics sexual abuse scandals rightly got a lot of attention, the number of affected kids is far more numerous in swimming. Underwater tells the almost unbelievable story, in the U.S., Canada, Europe, Australia, Latin America, and the Middle East, of coaches who preyed on children while hopping from program to program, state to state, and even country to country, in a pattern similar to the pedophile priests of the Catholic Church. 
   
  Irvin Muchnick, an experienced investigative reporter of the dark side of our popular sports entertainments, gained access to thousands of pages of FBI files and other sources to expose scores of such scenarios, as well as the inaction of bureaucrats and even the most highly regarded politicians. The ranks of abusers include some of the most famous and celebrated coaches in swimming history. And there’s no fixing the problem, the author says, so long as hundreds of thousands of young swimmers annually — elite and casual athletes alike — remain at the mercy of the Olympic system’s money-hungry priorities.
