  Tequila Wars - Jose Cuervo and...

  Ted Genoways

  At the dawn of the twentieth century, José Cuervo inherited his family's humble distillery, La Rojeña, in the Tequila Valley. Within a decade, it would become Mexico's leading producer of tequila. But when the Mexican Revolution erupted, a charge of treason and a death threat against him by Pancho Villa forced Cuervo to flee. His disappearance turned him into an obscure, shadowy historical figure. 
   
   
   
  In Tequila Wars, award-winning author Ted Genoways restores Cuervo to his place as a key player in Mexico's formative period. Before the revolution, Cuervo's acclaim spread worldwide, and once war broke out, Cuervo remained an impresario, kingmaker, and cultural force. In the face of his own government's corruption and the nationalism of his northern neighbors, Cuervo reached American drinkers by establishing Mexico’s covert form of cross-border commerce with the United States. As the largest and most important distilleries in the Tequila Valley recognized the threat posed by Mexico's unraveling, Cuervo also lobbied for suspending normal competition in favor of "a union of tequila makers"—what would become the first Mexican cartel. 
   
   
   
  The first biography of Cuervo, Tequila Wars uncovers the history of the man who would forever change not only the business of tequila, but international relations between Mexico and the United States.

  More Than Just a Greeting Card—A Gift That Lasts
  This little book about relationships is more meaningful than any Valentine's card, birthday card, or anniversary card you could give your partner. While cards are read once and set aside, this book offers insights, inspiration, and heartfelt connection that will stay with you both long after the occasion has passed. Whether celebrating love, strengthening your bond, or simply expressing your feelings, this book is a lasting reminder of what truly matters—your relationship.
  And if you're t ired of love stories that feel more scripted than a Hallmark movie, buckle up for something wilder—Nikoo and Jim McGoldrick, self-proclaimed cosmic stalkers, are here to prove that true love doesn't just last a lifetime… it survives multiple. (Or at least, that's their story, and they're sticking to it.) 
   What's their secret? Unwavering commitment, daily communication, and the kind of mutual respect that keeps them from turning minor disagreements into full-blown historical reenactments. From health scares to heated debates over who left the light on, they tackle life's storms with humor, heart, and an unshakable 'us against the world' attitude. 
     This isn't just romance—it's embracing quirks, laughing through the chaos, and knowing that sometimes, the best date night is just surviving the grocery store together. Want to know how they keep the spark alive? Simple: long hugs, short grudges, and the firm belief that everything is better when we do it together. 
   Ready to unlock the secrets of a love that endures? (And maybe pick up some relationship survival tips along the way?)

  In a world defined by borders, what connects us runs far deeper than what divides. 
  In The Borderless Heart, acclaimed traveler and storyteller Reece Davis shares a series of vivid, true encounters from his years on the road — moments of unexpected humanity that transcend language, culture, and geography. From sharing tea with a Kurdish shepherd to joining a village wedding in the mountains of Nepal, Davis reveals how kindness, laughter, and shared vulnerability can bridge even the widest of divides. 
  Each story becomes a testament to our shared pulse — the unspoken understanding that beneath the passports and politics, we are all part of the same human journey. 
  Warm, wise, and profoundly moving, The Borderless Heart reminds us that the world isn’t made of borders — it’s made of people.

  🚨 ATTENTION PERFECTIONISTS: If you’ve ever rewritten an email 14 times, physically cringed at a typo, or spent an hour debating whether to sign off with "Best" or "Sincerely"—this book is your personal attack. 
  Do you spend an obscene amount of time making sure every minor detail of your life is flawless, only to burn out like an overheated laptop from 2006? Do you find yourself rewriting text messages to ensure they sound casual, yet professional, yet witty, yet effortless, yet not like you're trying too hard, but also not like you don’t care? 
  CONGRATULATIONS! 🎉 You’re a perfectionist. And it’s ruining your life. 
  In this hilariously unhinged survival guide, we’ll explore: 
  ✅ The Art of Overthinking Everything – Why make a simple decision when you could spiral into existential dread? 
  ✅ Procrastination: The Perfectionist’s Favorite Coping Mechanism – If you never start, you never fail! Genius! 
  ✅ How to Do Everything at 110% Until You Emotionally Collapse – Sleep is for the weak. 
  ✅ Lowering Your Standards: An Incredibly Painful but Necessary Life Skill – Your 80% effort is still better than Todd’s 20%, and he got promoted. 
  By the end of this book, you won’t be cured of perfectionism (LOL, good luck with that), but you will at least understand why your brain is a flaming disaster. 
  📢 WARNING: This book contains aggressive sarcasm, brutal self-awareness, and zero practical advice on how to actually fix yourself. (Because let’s be honest, you’d just overthink it anyway.)

  If you enjoy political, historical or current event humor, take a load of this book.We will take the piss (or make fun of) The Illuminati, it's history and command and controlof every nation under the Sun.As I type this words Queen Elizabeth II is being buried. In this text, no shots will be taken at her life or legacy. It may differ during the audio post production. More knowledge may lead to many changes in your life. Truth is, the older one grows, the we realize, God controls over all, even a redneck cantankerous continues to learn this at almost an age north of 50. You are in for a treat because this version is not available in print, at least the last five or six chapters on audio.If you are a Bible reader, remember the Canaanites sacrificed their children to the god Molech. To me this became one of the cornerstone of these elite formations of this ‘Enlighted Group.’ Then it morphed into secret societies, free masonry, and evolved into controlling governments. Yet the Devil or Satan told Christ ‘All These Kingdoms Are Mine! So why are many of us are surprised after thousands of years, the control and command on Earth resides with him, the 13 Elite families, The Bilderberg Group, the CFR, The WEF, The WHO, The Octagon Group (Geneva Switzerland). In the off news sites, they are known as the Kazazian Mafia. This text is not designed to provide the exact origins of the Illuminati. There are several sites one may visit for this information. This author connects the past constructions of this group, shows how it is divided to conceal itself. The audio version will demonstrate the Red Neck or Southern twangs of pronunciation. Their may exist some decent secret societies but to my knowledge, of they are secret, then how do they help we brothers and sisters? I have read of the White Dragon and the Red Dragon Societies and a MC Club called SOS. Once a soldier in Iraq told us on a Humvee ride in Ramadi he was a member of the SOS. I replied, ‘Well if it’s so secret,
