    "Read Me, Liberals" is an attempt to awaken a certain class of people that are morally at risk. The modern United States political system is dominated by a two-party system, Democrats and Republicans. Either party is perfect nor will the ever be perfect, but the Democratic party has gone so far left it is a threat to the freedom and safety of American citizens. The modern Democratic party and their allies want to dramatically alter the United States to their fascist ideology. They want total control of you and I by any means necessary. They want to control how you think and what you can say. Most importantly they want you to be submissive to a complete totalitarian government control. This book exposes all the hypocrisy, corruption, and moral insanity that comes from the "left". Most importantly it exposes the two-tiered justice system, one for Democrats and one for the rest of us. This book is meant to target liberals, democrats, and independents but will help educate conservatives and Republicans as well. I challenge anyone that loves the United States to read this and help save this country while we still can. Liberals will continue to push their one-world order agenda until they get what they want. The United States is more politically divided than any other time in history and we need to come together somehow.

  • von Lloyd Lim

    Author Lloyd Lim's second collection of nine short stories spans multiple genres, including crime noir, science fiction, romance and tales about ordinary people. The tone runs the gamut from the tragic to the comic. Mr. Lim has created plots of greater complexity and character development than were present in his first collection, but he continues to demonstrate his adherence to Shakespeare's quip from Hamlet, The Prince of Denmark Act 2, Scene 2 that "brevity is the soul of wit." The story protagonists include: a cop tracking down a serial killer while harboring feelings for his partner; an assistant pastor investigating his daughter's death; a young man with a bad attitude; an elderly woman who escapes her retirement facility; a lonely wife with a powerful husband; a private investigator who meets a woman who draws him into a conspiracy with long tentacles; a man in the 22nd century who must propose to a much younger woman with whom he has been paired by a computer; a man with a cockamamie business idea.Mr. Lim has also included a brief, one-act play ideal for a student production on a shoestring budget. The play deals with the perennial issue of the artist versus the art object and the sacrifices one may be forced to make for an artistic life. Finally, because we find ourselves in a hyper-partisan time, Mr. Lim has included some simple ideas for understanding the basis for the partisan divide and for navigating and rising above it.Mr. Lim has taken his study of literature and film to fashion stories with both literary and cinematic aspects. In fact, one short story was adapted from a previously written screenplay. Mr. Lim writes in both first- and third- person narrative styles; he believes that thinking like an actor can help develop the dramatic aspects of literary fiction. His test for a protagonist? Would an actor badly want to play this part? This collection should appeal to a broad range of readers, from young adults to seniors. It is accessible to those with a range of educational backgrounds and doesn't preach only to those with a specific set of political or social values. If a film rating were attached to these stories, it would go no higher than PG-13. The stories vary in length, but none are so long that they would burden busy professionals.

Various topics addressed include audio-visual aids, preparation, behavior of the presenter, and voice projection.The book ends with a brief serious essay of what to do to make a truly impactful presentation.Categories that this book falls under might include: Humor, public speaking, "how to present your information."

    LARGE PRINT EDITIONIf you're holding this book and you're wondering what this story is all about, it's about the Abenaki people. These stories are of those people who lived in the Dawnland of Maine. The Dawnland was named that way because it was the early days of the settlements of New England. Maine was still a part of Massachusetts, and the native people were the Abenaki, many Indian tribes lived within the state which we now know as Maine. The people were a diverse people, a brave people, a proud people, and people who lived long in the land and love peace. They wanted to get along with those who lived with them, but it was a difficult time and there were many hardships. It is a story of bravery; it is a story of the people who still inhabit the state of Maine and so I trust that you will enjoy this fictional account of some of the legends although historically many facts are true so please read this book with enjoyment and with understanding of the proud race of the Abenaki Indians.

    This book of Nostredame was essential in remembering the foot ladder, which I have tread as an add-er. The trace was hard to lace sometimes, to tie off ends that gave me a grace, but were not a complete race. I won't be anywhere without dead ends. They let me hide and collide. This book is for my daughter, for her I would be gone farther. Actually, I don't think I would have made it as a birder if her grace hadn't required my mace. I protect the delicate. In that I am a father. I could not allow her this fate. She is style and grace, all that I am not. I am just lethal in a box. Nostredame was a bait, literally of fate: Pandora's box of rocks, agony and ecstasy. Their stones are still getting thrown. I wish only for the grey line inn between.

They sure didn't want to be caught. After they did their exit from the bank, they stopped long enough to transfer the money they had in the bag to a black suitcase.

    In the prolog, Marc Daniels imagines himself as one of the smoldering, terrorized titles in the Goebbels' book-burning heap in Nazi Germany. As he begins to type his narrative, his fingers scorch, and smoke rises from his laptop. Whether Marc and his narrative survive these blazing flames depends on how persuasively he reveals the secrets of the Torah for eradicating systemic racism and antisemitism in America. Marc engages in real-time with Donald Trump, Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, Mike Pence, Nikki Haley, and Kamala Harris during publicized Iowa caucus town halls from 2016 to 2024. In the epilogue, Marc senses a beautiful rose garden bouquet where a foul stench had existed before. His fingers have entirely healed. "In this book, he offers an alternative vision ("Making America Kosher Again") that blends Kabbalah mysticism and the "deepest roots of the Torah" to offer a spiritual vision that turns Trump's campaign slogan, Make America Great Again, "on its head" by encouraging civic prayer and collective intentions for "cultural unification." - Kirkus Reviews.

    Subjective in nature, this book exposes the folded mental problems rising from real-life events that harm many teenagers, particularly in underdeveloped civilizations i.e., Afghanistan. The argument is centering on how the exploitation of socially accepted norms and religious principles cause mental suffering in teenagers. While Afghanistan is used as an example to illustrate the main philosophy of the book. Thus, the argument in the book is reinforced by the fact that around 99 percent of Afghans practice Islam alongside a strong belief in cultural norms. Because of this, most Afghans' everyday choices & decisions are largely influenced by and based on social norms and religious principles.This book, therefore, emphasizes the value of inner harmony, mental fulfillment, and happiness, which teens today, particularly those from middle-class households in underdeveloped communities, need the most. The book covers real-life observations, personal experiences, & factual tales to support the argument to better showcase the topic matter. The book also provides many examples of various aspects that show how teenagers get mentally troubled and sad. Overall, teens frequently commit suicide as a result of their dangerous mental torment. Eventually, a lot of teenagers lives end, which is worrying. The cause is frequently the naive belief of people in myths or superstitions that are subtly disguised as religious doctrines, duties, or socially acceptable codes imposed on youth.Therefore, it is crucial to identify the underlying reasons for such mental issues of today's teens-like anxiety-which is important to address. The difficult thing about this problem is that it is not always possible to convey it clearly to anyone, even to close friends and family members like best friends or parents. Most of the time, such mental illnesses are kept secret in the heart and mind, which causes teenagers to die on the inside. Inclined by such emotional and mental suffering, this book serves as the voice of many suffering teenagers, particularly the sensitive and introverted ones.

    In late November of 1859, in the Borough of Port Carbon, Pennsylvania, the battered body of a man was found in the sluice of an abandoned slack water channel of the Schuylkill Canal. It was determined by local authorities to have been a murder. But the victim, thought to be a local resident, went unidentified for almost six months. Port Carbon was one of the many boom towns in the six-county coal region of upstate eastern Pennsylvania. It was the northern terminal point of the 108-mile-long Schuylkill Navigation, the brilliantly engineered canal system along the Schuylkill River between Philadelphia and Schuylkill County. With the discovery of vast resources of anthracite coal at the turn of the century, in the short span of fifty years, what had once been a verdant wilderness had now become a mecca of American industrialization. The unyielding demand for anthracite to fuel the growing America in the northeast by the mid-nineteenth century had grown to magnanimous proportions. Immigrants from all over Europe and beyond poured into the coal region to work the mining and canal operations to supply coal via barge and later the railroads downriver to the tidewater port in Port Richmond near Philadelphia. As in every frontier expansion in American history, there also comes the darker side of human interactions. Men murder other men.The mysterious affair and the unusual facts surrounding the murder of one Amos Schroeder, a local mine boss from a German immigrant family, was published in a series of four newspaper articles spanning from December, 1859 to May, 1860. His story appeared in the Miners' Journal, and Pottsville General Advertiser, the historical regional weekly newspaper of publishing magnate Benjamin Bannan of Pottsville. Bannan was a political economist and journalist, one of the most prominent newspaper men of his time. Bannan's whole life was focused on the expansion of the coal region, and he chronicled everything within his purview. Details of Bannan's investigation into the murder, however, are not known. We only know what appeared in the series of these four articles. The case was apparently solved, but never fully closed. The murderers, who had been identified through the efforts of Bannan, fled Schuylkill County before they could be brought to justice despite the reward offered by the County Commissioners. Bannan, for whatever unknown reason, had opted not to publish the murderers' names, as they remained at large. No historical record has been found to indicate that they may have been apprehended, nor ever publicly named. It was not until over a hundred and fifty years later when members of the family, while researching their coal region ancestry, stumbled upon the case of Amos Schroeder, who was discovered to be the brother of the author's Great-Great Grandfather. The identities of the murderers, however, remain lost to history.This book is a fictional account of how the facts and the mysterious circumstances surrounding his murder may have arrived on the pages of the Miners' Journal. It is also a novel that takes a historical journey to the anthracite coal region of eastern Pennsylvania during the mid-nineteenth century when coal was king. It is a story of the hardships endured by the thousands of immigrant families who worked the mines and waterways of the Schuylkill Canal. It is a story of the heritage both famously and infamously created by the coal barons, industrialists, and railroad magnates who fueled the industrialization of a young America.
