  AN INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER FROM PRESIDENT TRUMP'S NOMINEE FOR SECRETARY OF DEFENSE 
  Real men fought for our freedoms. It’s time we fought for theirs. 
  Pete Hegseth joined the Army to fight extremists. Then that same Army called him one. The military Pete joined twenty years ago was fiercely focused on lethality, competency, and color blindness. Today our brass are following the rest of our country off the cliff of cultural chaos and weakness. 
  Americans with common sense are fighting this on many fronts, but if we can’t save the meritocracy of our military, we’re definitely going to lose everywhere else. 
  The War on Warriors uncovers the deep roots of our dysfunction—a society that has forgotten the men who take risks, cut through red tape, and get their hands dirty. The only kind of men prepared to face the dan­gers that the Left pretends don’t exist. Unlike issues of education or taxes or crime, this problem doesn’t have a zip code solution. We can’t move away from it. We can’t avoid it. We have only one Pentagon. Either we take it back or surrender it altogether. 
  Combining his own war experiences, tales of outrage, and an incisive look at how the chain of com­mand got so kinked, this book is the key to saving our warriors—and winning future wars. The War on War­riors must be won by the good guys, because when the shooting really starts, they’re the only ones who can save us.

  Lying - Communicating False...

  Lying, the deliberate act of communicating false information, has been a part of human behavior for centuries. It is a complex and multifaceted phenomenon that plays a role in many aspects of life, from personal relationships to politics, business, and beyond. While most people recognize lying as morally wrong, it remains a pervasive and unavoidable part of the human experience. This chapter will explore the nature of lying, the different types of lies, and why people engage in this behavior. 
  At its core, lying involves providing information that the speaker knows to be false, with the intent to deceive the listener. Unlike mistakes or misunderstandings, lies are intentional and often involve a conscious decision to mislead. Lying can take many forms, ranging from small, seemingly harmless "white lies" to more harmful and deliberate fabrications designed to achieve personal gain or avoid consequences. While some lies may appear trivial, others can have significant consequences, leading to broken trust, damaged relationships, or even harm to others. 
  The act of lying is not limited to individuals but can also be embedded in larger societal and cultural practices. From politicians who manipulate public opinion to corporations that mislead consumers about the quality of their products, deception is often employed as a tool to achieve power, influence, or financial success. Understanding the motivations behind lying is key to understanding its prevalence and persistence in society. People lie for various reasons: to protect themselves, to avoid punishment, to gain an advantage, or to spare others' feelings. The reasons behind a lie often depend on the context and the perceived consequences of telling the truth.

  Songbook - The Lyrics and Music...

  From the award-winning, multi-genre author and musician Steven Heighton, Songbook brings together Heighton’s lyrics and music for the first time in a single volume, including his final songs, which have never been heard or seen until now. When Steven Heighton died suddenly of cancer in 2022, he was in the middle of an intensely creative period of songwriting. He released his first album of original material, The Devil’s Share, in 2021 and was preparing to record his second album. Known first as a poet, Heighton had always held that “music and poetry are two words for the same thing.”
  		 
  As in his songwriting, in Songbook, Heighton moves fluidly between genres and subjects, from political songs like “The Butcher’s Bill,” about the carelessness of nations sending their youth to war, to reimagining the myth of Orpheus (“I'll hold my breath the whole way down / And find your soul in the undertown”), to blues tunes like “Last Living Woman Alive,” and a tribute to the late John Prine, the “Buddha of Song.” With chords accompanying the lyrics, readers and musicians have the ability to bring the songs to life with their own interpretations. The music in Songbook was the final work of Heighton’s life, and it is not only a gift to have his lyrics and chords but an invitation from Heighton himself, challenging his readers to answer the call and keep singing along.
