  Deep States limit our individual and collective potential and worsen our most pressing problems. You cannot fully understand Smollett’s scandal without understanding the Deep State that got him off---the first time, at least-- and tried to cover it up. 
  If you want to learn more about the Deep State and its players and its methods and all about Jussie Smollett and the most unusual, fascinating, and entertaining scandal, this book is for you. 
  I will present the facts about Jussie’s scandal, and I will present my opinions. I will also rebut people who lied to us about what happened and who continue to spread disinformation. Jussie must be criticized and punished according to law, not because of his skin color or his sexual orientation, but because of his character and behavior. On April 27, 2019, President Trump slammed Jussie as a third rate actor who disgraced a nation at a rally in Wisconsin. Earlier, he had called Jussie’s case an embarrassment not only to Chicago but the entire nation. 
   Jussie’s case teemed with menacing selfish intent. There is substantial evidence to show that he lied to the police and the media to create a hoax, and he lied, again and again, to cover it up. If true, he represents a form of hoaxing threat to our society that we don’t want to see spread. He could have incited race riots, even a race war, and this was his intent, perhaps to please Kamala Harris, as part of the Left’s Democrat and Communist race-baiting and race-exploiting agenda.

  First, she predicts your death. Then, you die. Usually, writhing in pain. Is she a fortune teller, or something much, much darker? Nobody tells the police, not for a long time, because, well, nobody in Chicago’s Little Warsaw wants to cross Tillie Klimek. 
   
  The body count racks up as Jazz Age Chicago’s most notorious female poisoner takes down husband after husband, and some other relatives while she’s at it. Few, it seems, can resist Tillie’s cooking. But is this Mrs. Bluebeard working alone? Or is she part of a bigger, more diabolical "poison trust"? And can Chicago’s Finest get to her before her latest husband, already mortally ill, dies? Poison Widow is a true-crime aficionado’s feast, arsenic-laced and stuffed with tasty noir morsels.

  “Looks at the twists and turns in the investigation, possible perpetrators . . . as well as some of the good that eventually came out of this tragedy” (Wauwatosa Patch).   In 1925, the peaceful Milwaukee suburb of Wauwatosa found itself involved in mystery and horror. Eight-year-old Arthur ‘Buddy’ Schumacher Jr. was last seen by three of his friends after they hopped off a freight train they’d jumped to get a ride to a nearby swimming hole. For seven weeks, the community and state searched desperately to find the boy until his body was found just a mile from his house with his clothing torn and a handkerchief shoved down his throat. The police pursued several promising leads, but to no avail.   Includes photos.   “Tosa native Paul Hoffman reconstructs the case . . . and finds it more than cold . . . He conjures up a picture of a much different Wauwatosa than we know today.” —Shepherd Express   “More than 85 years later, the murder of Buddy Schumacher remains unsolved. There were suspects at the time and their stories and the cases against them are included in Murder in Wauwatosa.” —OnMilwaukee

  Winner of the 2020 Baltimore History Prize, this is a gripping account of how a Federalist editor risked his life to defend his anti-war views.   With a bitterly divided nation plunged into the War of 1812, Alexander Hanson penned an anti-war editorial that provoked a violent standoff that crippled the city of Baltimore and left Hanson beaten within an inch of his life. This little-known episode in American history—complete with a midnight jailbreak, bloodthirsty mobs and unspeakable acts of torture—helped shape the course of war, the Federalist Party and the nation’s very notion of the freedom of the press. Josh Cutler’s history of the Mobtown Massacre offers a lesson in liberty that reverberates today.  “A compelling story that’s as timely today as it was two centuries ago.” —Congressman William R. Keating  “A remarkably vivid, engaging and very readable account of a brief but major event in Baltimore history . . . which reflected the sharp political divisiveness of the time at the start of the War of 1812, and had important implications for freedom of the press and the war itself.”—Charles Markell, board member, Baltimore City Historical Society  “A timely and scholarly examination of one man’s struggle for freedom of the press.”—Fred Dorsey, Howard County, MD historian  “Cutler’s book tells not only of politics of that era and the controversy of a war that ultimately led to the burning of the White House and the writing of ‘The Star-Spangled Banner’ by Francis Scott Key, but also how it challenged America’s devotion to a free press.” —The Baltimore Sun
