The actions by President Obama concerning mandates in his healthcare bill sent shock waves through the nation as a thinly veiled threat to religious freedom. Our nation became weak by not living our faith. Tyranny is rising up to fill the void. Our Judeo-Christian principles must be applied into the very fabric of our institutions, governments, and public offices. The Tea Party at first tried to stop the advance of tyranny, but have said no to God, and will fade and falter. In order for Christian citizens to take possession of federalized countries, they must create Constitutional village towns that are rooted in law to the principles of Christianity and the Ten Commandments.
For the better part of the last half century, the United States has been the World's Police, claiming to defend ideologies, allies, and our national security through brute force. But is military action always the most appropriate response? Drawing on his vast experience, from combat in Vietnam to peacekeeping in Somalia, to war games in Washington, DC and negotiations with former rebels in the Philippines, retired four-star General Tony Zinni argues that we have a lot of work to do to make the process of going to war—or not—more clear-eyed and ultimately successful. He examines the relationship between the executive and the military (including the difference between passive and engaged presidents); the failures of the Joint Chief of Staff; the challenges of working with the UN, coalition forces, and NATO; the difference between young, on the ground officers and less savvy senior leaders; the role of special forces and drone warfare; and the difficult choices that need to be made to create tomorrow's military. Among his provocative points: * Virtually every recent American military operation follows a disconnected series of actions that lead to outcomes we never foresaw or intended. * We need to assign accountability for the political decisions that can make or break a mission. * Words and ideas are as important to victory in today's conflicts as bullets. * The cyber "war" is ongoing. Either you must build better tech than the other guy, or you must steal it. * Our foreign aid budget is pitiful, our State Department, USAID, and the other government agencies that we critically need to be on a par with our military are underfunded, undermanned, and poorly structured for their current objectives.From the Oval Office to the battlefield, Before the First Shots Are Fired is a hard-hitting analysis of the history of America's use of military action and a spirited call for change.

2018 Eureka! Nonfiction Children's Book Honor Award, presented by the California Reading Association When the rules kept Charlie Sifford from playing in the Professional Golf Association, he set out to change them. Charlie Sifford loved golf, but in the 1930's only white people were allowed to play in the Professional Golf Association. Sifford had won plenty of Black tournaments, but he was determined to break the color barrier in the PGA. In 1960 he did, only to face discrimination from hotels that wouldn't rent him rooms and clubs that wouldn't let him use the same locker as the white players. But Sifford kept playing, becoming the first Black golfer to win a PGA tournament and eventually ranking among the greats in golf.

The pros have an unfair advantage. They hit driver wedge; we hit drive 5 wood. How is that fair? This is a book for those determined golfers sandwiched below the professional level but above the multitude of non-golfers unable to appreciate the game. The pros have conquered the game; at the same time, there is no sympathy here for the Sub-Optimal golfer nor from anyone who does not play or understand golf. It can be a truly lonely existence for them, with nothing to which they can look forward except the forward tees themselves.
