Writing under a pseudonym, the mother of five is known for sharp, humorous commentary on modern culture, feminism, family, faith, politics, and the institutions shaping American life.</span></p><p><strong><span>TO BOOK INTERVIEWS EMAIL: </span>sarah.publius@gmail.com, <span>kimberlyt.publius@gmail.com, aj.publius@gmail.com, </span></strong></p><p><span>Comic books have supervillains. Peachy Keenan argues that modern America has something stranger: real people in positions of cultural, political, corporate, educational, and institutional power whose ideas can seem almost too outrageous to be fictional.</span></p><p><span>In Supervillains, Keenan turns the culture war into a rogue&#8217;s gallery. With satire as her weapon, she examines the archetypes she believes are driving America&#8217;s most destructive cultural trends - from immigration and DEI to gender politics, institutional capture, family breakdown, and the ideological battles surrounding children.</span></p><p><span>Her target is not merely a collection of bad ideas. Keenan&#8217;s argument is that ideologies become powerful when they acquire institutions, budgets, bureaucracies, prestige, and people who can enforce them. Supervillains therefore asks a larger question: Who actually benefits from America&#8217;s cultural dysfunction - and why are so many of the people presiding over it rewarded rather than held accountable?</span></p><p><span>The result is part political expos&#233;, part cultural satire, and part survival guide for Americans who feel that institutions they once trusted no longer represent their values. Keenan&#8217;s thesis is deliberately provocative: before ordinary Americans can successfully oppose the forces reshaping their country, they first have to identify the people, incentives, and institutions behind them.</span></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

Supervillains was published September 1, 2026, giving producers a brand-new book and timely culture-war conversation.</span></p><p><span>&#183; Keenan combines political argument with humor, allowing serious subjects to become lively television, radio, and podcast segments rather than conventional policy interviews.</span></p><p><span>&#183; Her subjects touch some of the most contentious debates in American life: immigration, DEI, gender ideology, children, feminism, family, religion, institutional power, and cultural polarization.</span></p><p><span>&#183; As a mother of five and convert to Catholicism who writes under a pseudonym, Keenan brings an unusual personal identity to debates often dominated by politicians and professional activists.</span></p><p><span>&#183; Her first book, Domestic Extremist, established her public persona as a satirical critic of modern feminism and identity politics; Supervillains expands the target from domestic culture to the people and institutions she believes are driving national dysfunction.</span></p><p><strong><span>FIVE CONVERSATIONS SHE CAN OWN:</span></strong></p><p><strong><span>1. WHO ARE AMERICA&#8217;S REAL-LIFE &#8216;SUPERVILLAINS&#8217;?</span></strong></p><p><span>Why Keenan organizes the modern culture war around recognizable archetypes - and what those characters reveal about power, incentives, and institutional capture.</span></p><p><strong><span>2. HOW DID THE CULTURE WAR MOVE FROM THE INTERNET INTO EVERY MAJOR INSTITUTION?</span></strong></p><p><span>How ideas that once seemed fringe can move through universities, corporations, government, media, schools, and nonprofit organizations until they become policy or professional orthodoxy.</span></p><p><strong><span>3. WHY ARE PARENTS NOW ON THE FRONT LINE OF AMERICAN POLITICS?</span></strong></p><p><span>What fights over schools, gender, childhood, family authority, and parental rights reveal about the deeper struggle over who gets to shape the next generation.</span></p><p><strong><span>4. DID MODERN FEMINISM SELL WOMEN A BAD DEAL?</span></strong></p><p><span>Keenan&#8217;s critique of careerism, liberal feminism, marriage, motherhood, domestic life, and why she believes family formation can itself be a form of cultural rebellion.</span></p><p><strong><span>5. CAN HUMOR WIN A CULTURE WAR THAT POLITICS CAN&#8217;T?</span></strong></p><p><span>Why mockery, satire, naming names, and refusing approved language can sometimes puncture ideological power more effectively than another white paper or campaign speech.</span></p><p><strong><span>GREAT QUESTIONS FOR PEACHY KEENAN:</span></strong></p><blockquote><p><em><span>You call these people &#8216;supervillains.&#8217; What separates a supervillain from an ordinary political opponent you simply disagree with?</span></em></p><p><em><span>Your book names names. Who surprised you most once you started researching the people behind the archetypes?</span></em></p><p><em><span>Why use comedy to write about subjects that many people consider politically explosive?</span></em></p><p><em><span>Which institution do you believe has been most successfully captured by the ideas you criticize - schools, corporations, media, government, or something else?</span></em></p><p><em><span>Your first book focused heavily on feminism and family. Why broaden the battlefield in Supervillains?</span></em></p><p><em><span>You are a mother of five. How much did becoming a parent change the way you viewed the culture war?</span></em></p><p><em><span>Why do you believe parents have become such an important political constituency?</span></em></p><p><em><span>You describe yourself as a convert from liberal feminism and &#8216;secular nothingness&#8217; to Catholicism. What changed your mind?</span></em></p><p><em><span>Is there a danger that both political sides start viewing their opponents as cartoon villains rather than people?</span></em></p><p><em><span>What is the funniest example in the book of reality becoming more absurd than satire?</span></em></p><p><em><span>Why do institutions so often reward people even after their policies appear to fail?</span></em></p><p><em><span>What does &#8216;institutional capture&#8217; actually look like in ordinary people&#8217;s daily lives?</span></em></p><p><em><span>Your public identity is a pseudonym. Has anonymity allowed you to say things you might not have written under your legal name?</span></em></p><p><em><span>You&#8217;ve called yourself a &#8216;husbosexual&#8217; and a &#8216;wife supremacist.&#8217; Is that pure comedy, or are you making a serious argument underneath the joke?</span></em></p><p><em><span>If an American agrees with your diagnosis but feels powerless to change national institutions, what can that person actually do?</span></em></p><p><em><span>Who do you most hope reads Supervillains - people already on your side, or people who think you&#8217;re completely wrong?</span></em></p></blockquote><p><strong><span>PLUG BOOK:</span></strong><span> </span><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Supervillains-Peachy-Keenan/dp/B0FZHF9GP1/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0"><span>Supervillains</span></a></p><p><strong><span>ONE-SENTENCE DESCRIPTION:</span></strong><span> A sharp, satirical expos&#233; in which </span><a href="https://passage.press/products/supervillains"><span>Peachy Keenan</span></a><span> identifies the archetypes, people, ideologies, and institutions she argues are driving America&#8217;s cultural unraveling - and offers a survival guide for readers who want to fight back.</span></p><p><strong><span>ON-AIR INTRO:</span></strong></p><p><span>Peachy Keenan is the pseudonymous writer, mother of five, Catholic convert, and bestselling author of Domestic Extremist: A Practical Guide to Winning the Culture War. Her new book, Supervillains, uses razor-sharp satire to examine the people, ideologies, and institutions she believes are driving America&#8217;s cultural unraveling. Her work has appeared in The Spectator, Newsweek, The Federalist, The Blaze, The Daily Caller, The American Mind, the Los Angeles Times, and The Washington Examiner.</span></p><p><strong><span>BIO:</span></strong></p><p><span>Peachy Keenan is the pseudonym for a writer and mother of five from Southern California. A convert to Catholicism from secular nothingness and liberal feminism, she describes herself as a wife supremacist and a &#8216;husbosexual&#8217; - someone attracted only to people who identify as her husband.</span></p><p><span>She is the author of Supervillains and Domestic Extremist: A Practical Guide to Winning the Culture War (Regnery, 2023), a humorous critique of modern feminist culture, identity politics, and the institutions she believes have weakened marriage and family life. Her bylines have appeared in The Spectator, the Los Angeles Times, The American Mind, The Daily Caller, The Federalist, The Blaze, Newsweek, and The Washington Examiner. She writes the newsletter Peachy Keenan&#8217;s Extremely Domestic and lives in Los Angeles with her family.</span></p><p><strong><span>ABOUT THE BOOK:</span></strong></p><p><span>Great Replacers, DEI Hards, Fat Cats, and the Rainbow Goon Squad: </span><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Supervillains-Peachy-Keenan/dp/B0FZHF9GP1/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0"><span>Supervillains</span></a><span> presents Peachy Keenan&#8217;s satirical taxonomy of the people and ideologies she believes are reshaping American institutions. The book argues that these forces have embedded themselves throughout politics, education, business, media, and culture, turning cultural conflict into an institutional struggle over who sets the rules.</span></p><p><span>With Keenan&#8217;s deliberately provocative humor, the book names names and portrays itself as a survival guide for Americans who believe they are being held hostage by institutions hostile to their values. Its central premise is simple: before an opponent can be effectively challenged, the sources of his or her power have to be exposed.</span></p><p><strong><span>MEDIA ASSETS:</span></strong></p><p><strong><span>OFFICIAL WEBSITE / NEWSLETTER: </span></strong><a href="https://www.peachykeenan.com/"><span>PeachyKeenan.com</span></a></p><p><strong><span>SUBSTACK PROFILE: </span></strong><a href="/__u/substack.com/@peachykeenan"><span>Peachy Keenan on Substack</span></a></p><p><strong><span>X: </span></strong><a href="https://x.com/KeenanPeachy"><span>@KeenanPeachy</span></a></p><p><strong>TO BOOK INTERVIEWS EMAIL: sarah.publius@gmail.com, kimberlyt.publius@gmail.com, aj.publius@gmail.com, </strong></p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Labor Day Guest Available: Why Is The United Auto Worked (UAW) Backing Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan? ]]></title><description><![CDATA[Chevy, Ford And Mosques?

Little or nothing was required to determine whether you were, in fact, a woman. Everyone seemed to know.</p><p>Women played happily, fiercely, and competitively against other women. Some were tall, some were fast, some could shoot from almost anywhere, while others played ferocious defense, blocking shots and stealing the ball with the enthusiasm of a medieval highwayman.</p><p>There were some, however, who appeared to have wandered onto the court directly from the set of <em><a href="https://www.imdb.com/list/ls539934352/">Mad Max</a></em>.</p><p>To the spectator, the players were classy, ghetto, or somewhere in between. And the more ghetto a player appeared, the more certain some spectators became that she was a lesbian. But nevertheless, they were women. And in those days, that seemed to be enough.</p><p>There was, of course, a magnificent <a href="https://www.theofficialboard.com/org-chart/wnba">structure</a> built around these female basketball players.</p><p>The Team President oversaw operations. The General Manager worried about drafts, trades, contracts, and all the other matters that make basketball executives look perpetually constipated. The Head Coach determined strategy and tried to explain to twenty-something athletes why they should pass the ball when they were absolutely certain they could score themselves.</p><p>Assistant coaches searched for talent. Vice presidents became involved in transactions. Scouts watched players. Development personnel developed players. Trainers trained them. Medical personnel patched them back together, especially when the ghetto players caused injury&#8230;</p><p><strong>READ MORE <a

Bonhoeffer </em><span>not a lack of intelligence, but the surrender of independent thinking. Bonhoeffer argued that people become vulnerable when they stop reasoning for themselves and instead uncritically follow a group, ideology, movement, or authority figure. Dr. Fox believes this phenomenon is increasingly evident across modern society, from politics and education to media, business, and religion.</span></p><p>Through his teaching, writing, and public speaking, Dr. Fox challenges individuals and organizations to cultivate critical thinking, intellectual courage, and principled leadership. He explores how groupthink, tribalism, social pressure, and the pursuit of approval can undermine truth, weaken institutions, and erode healthy public discourse.</p><p>Dr. Fox is the author of the forthcoming book, Truth in the Age of Applause: How Stupidity Is Ruining the American Dream, which examines how the desire for acceptance and affirmation has too often replaced the pursuit of truth in American culture. The book offers a timely analysis of the cultural forces shaping public opinion and provides practical insights for leaders, educators, faith communities, and citizens seeking to restore thoughtful dialogue, personal responsibility, and independent judgment in a rapidly changing world.</p><p><strong><span>See Dr. Andrew Fox on FOX NEWS:</span><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U504LqNJCcY&amp;feature=youtu.be"> HERE</a></strong></p><p><strong>BACKGROUND</strong><span>: Dr. Andrew Fox is a priest, organizational culture expert, educator, author, and business leader with more than three decades of experience helping organizations, churches, businesses, and leaders navigate growth, transformation, and cultural change.

It may turn out to be something closer to the opposite: a case study in how regulation ends up entrenching the companies it&#8217;s meant to restrain.</p><p>Meta will pay billions to settle claims involving <a href="https://www.wsj.com/topics/subject/facebook">Facebook</a> and Instagram. More consequentially, it agreed to an elaborate regulatory regime for users under 18&#8212;daily use limits, nighttime restrictions, school-hour notification limits, enhanced age verification, restrictions on certain features, stronger parental controls, and scrutiny from an independent auditor and the attorneys general themselves.</p><p>Some of this may be sound policy. But stack the pieces together and paradoxes emerge, ones that ought to bother conservatives&#8212;and anyone wary of government&#8217;s expanding footprint in private markets.</p><p>Start with privacy. Part of the original complaint was that Meta collected too much information about children. The fix requires Meta to get considerably better at identifying them. A 15-year-old claiming to be 19 can&#8217;t be taken at his word, so Meta needs sharper age-assurance tools&#8212;and the harder government pushes to stop teenagers from slipping past the restrictions, the more sophisticated that identification machinery has to get. We are protecting children&#8217;s privacy by requiring a company to know more about them.</p><p><strong><span>READ MORE </span><a

New Paradox: Antitrust and the Threat of Conservative Socialism</span></a></em></p><p><strong><span>ABOUT:</span></strong><em><strong><span> </span></strong></em><span>What is the result when the Republican Party, the long-time champion of free-market principles, discards them to embrace many of the state-based solutions of the Democratic Party? You have conservative socialism. We are seeing a Republican Administration embrace industrial policy with gusto. The White House has used its trade and regulatory authority to take a big cut of one U.S. company&#8217;s semiconductor exports, forced an equity stake on a major tech company to become its largest shareholder, while proposing price controls in industries ranging from pharmaceuticals to financial services.<br><br>Tariffs are often lifted or imposed according to the political position of a company, or the connections of its lobbyists. Regulatory threats and the blockage of mergers have been used to punish news organizations and talk show hosts for their speech.<br><br>Nowhere is the leftward turn of the Republican Party more apparent than in antitrust.</span></p><p><strong><span>BIO:</span></strong><span> Robert H.

So how does a state with that many advantages begin losing businesses, high earners, residents, and confidence in its future?</p><p>In Oregoners, Dennis Kneale argues that the answer lies not in geography or bad luck, but in policy. His book examines the cumulative consequences of high taxes, aggressive regulation, housing restrictions, homelessness policy, addiction, public disorder, struggling schools, and a political culture that he believes too often measures intentions rather than results.</p><p>Kneale&#8217;s larger argument is what makes this more than a regional book. Oregon, he says, is the canary in the coal mine for other American cities and states. Policies first embraced as compassionate, progressive, or environmentally responsible can produce very different consequences when businesses stop investing, taxpayers leave, housing becomes harder to build, public spaces deteriorate, and government responds by spending more without fixing the underlying problem.</p><p>This is ultimately a story about incentives and consequences: Can government make a place so expensive, difficult, or disorderly that people eventually vote with their feet? And if Oregon can reverse course, what lessons does that offer the rest of America?</p><p><strong><span>WHY BOOK HIM NOW?</span></strong></p><p><span>&#183; </span>Oregon&#8217;s economic direction, housing affordability, homelessness, addiction, public safety, taxes, and business climate remain active political and kitchen-table issues.</p><p><span>&#183; </span>Kneale is pitching Oregon as a national warning, allowing hosts outside the Pacific Northwest to connect the book directly to policy debates in their own cities and states.</p><p><span>&#183; </span>His background as a veteran business journalist lets him approach the story through economics, incentives, corporate decision-making, media, and politics rather than through politics alone.</p><p><span>&#183; </span>Recent interviews have expanded the book&#8217;s themes into broader questions about government intervention, urban decline, political polarization, and whether American cities can recover from policy mistakes.</p><p><span>&#183; </span>The subject naturally creates debate: which of Oregon&#8217;s problems are products of progressive policy, which reflect larger national forces, and which reforms could actually improve conditions?</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

IS OREGON THE CANARY IN THE COAL MINE FOR BLUE AMERICA?</strong></p><p>Why Kneale believes Oregon offers an early warning about the long-term consequences of one-party governance, regulation, taxation, and policies that prioritize intentions over measurable outcomes.</p><p><strong>2. HOW DO YOU CHASE BUSINESSES - AND EVENTUALLY PEOPLE - OUT OF A BEAUTIFUL STATE?</strong></p><p>What happens when taxes, regulation, public disorder, housing costs, and declining confidence begin reinforcing one another and businesses and residents decide that leaving is easier than waiting for reform.</p><p><strong>3. PORTLAND: HOW DID ONE OF AMERICA&#8217;S MOST LIVABLE CITIES LOSE ITS WAY?</strong></p><p>The combination of homelessness, addiction, public safety, downtown vacancies, political culture, and quality-of-life concerns that transformed Portland&#8217;s national reputation.</p><p><strong>4. WHEN COMPASSIONATE POLICY PRODUCES UNCOMPASSIONATE RESULTS</strong></p><p>Why well-intentioned approaches to homelessness, addiction, housing, and public spending can fail when incentives, enforcement, accountability, and measurable outcomes are ignored.</p><p><strong>5. CAN OREGON REVERSE COURSE - OR HAS THE DAMAGE BECOME STRUCTURAL?</strong></p><p>What would have to change in taxes, housing, regulation, public safety, education, and political culture to make Oregon more competitive and restore confidence among residents and employers.</p><p><strong><span>GREAT QUESTIONS FOR DENNIS KNEALE:</span></strong></p><blockquote><p><em>Oregon has mountains, coastline, Nike, Intel, and no shortage of people who once wanted to live there. How does a state with that many natural advantages manage to chase people away?</em></p><p><em>When did you first realize Oregon was more than a local story and could be a warning for the rest of the country?</em></p><p><em>What happened to Portland&#8217;s reputation as one of America&#8217;s most livable and culturally attractive cities?</em></p><p><em>Which policy do you believe did the most damage: taxes, housing restrictions, drug policy, homelessness policy, regulation, or something else?</em></p><p><em>At what point does compassion become bad policy - when the policy designed to help people actually produces more disorder or dependency?</em></p><p><em>Why is it so difficult to build enough housing in places that constantly say they have a housing crisis?</em></p><p><em>What do business owners tell you privately that politicians either don&#8217;t hear or don&#8217;t want to hear?</em></p><p><em>Is business flight usually caused by one dramatic policy, or by years of smaller costs and frustrations finally becoming intolerable?</em></p><p><em>You spent decades covering business and powerful institutions. What did that experience teach you about the difference between what government intends and what markets actually do?</em></p><p><em>Critics will say Oregon&#8217;s problems are more complicated than progressive politics. What do they get right, and where do you think they miss the larger pattern?</em></p><p><em>Can a city enter a genuine economic &#8216;doom loop,&#8217; where declining safety and services drive away taxpayers and businesses, leaving government with fewer resources to solve the original problems?</em></p><p><em>What would you change first if you were handed the keys to Portland tomorrow morning?</em></p><p><em>Are other states and cities already repeating Oregon&#8217;s mistakes?</em></p><p><em>Is there evidence that Oregon voters themselves are beginning to demand a different direction?</em></p><p><em>What is the single lesson you most want a mayor, governor, or state legislator outside Oregon to take from this book?</em></p></blockquote><p><strong>PLUG BOOK:</strong> <em><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Oregoners-State-Chased-Businesses-People/dp/B0GZVXMDYN/ref=sr_1_1?crid=5BGN4MCVWTDI&amp;dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.LijuqSzIIb2Wc7ahEdF-hw.HLqzHgCFGVXYrNOOQiEnpjYkcXNdQXRdOeF6ZWqDiW8&amp;dib_tag=se&amp;keywords=oregoners+by+dennis+kneale&amp;qid=1788116849&amp;sprefix=oregoner%2Caps%2C385&amp;sr=8-1">Oregoners: How One State Chased Away Businesses and People</a></em></p><p><strong>ONE-SENTENCE DESCRIPTION:</strong> A veteran business journalist&#8217;s case that Oregon&#8217;s struggles with taxes, regulation, housing, homelessness, addiction, public safety, education, and business flight offer a warning about what can happen when government policy loses sight of economic incentives and real-world results.</p><p><strong><span>ON-AIR INTRO:</span></strong></p><p>Dennis Kneale is a veteran journalist, media strategist, television commentator, podcast host, and author. After decades covering business, media, politics, and some of America&#8217;s most powerful companies and executives, he has turned his attention to Oregon. His new book, Oregoners: How One State Chased Away Businesses and People, argues that the state&#8217;s economic and quality-of-life struggles should serve as a warning to cities and states across America.</p><p><strong><span>BIO: </span></strong>Dennis Kneale is a veteran journalist, media strategist, author, and broadcaster. His career has included senior editorial roles at major business publications and years as an anchor and commentator on CNBC and Fox Business Network. He is a frequent contributor to Newsmax and hosts the podcast What&#8217;s Bugging Me on Ricochet.</p><p>Kneale is the author of Oregoners: How One State Chased Away Businesses and People and The Leadership Genius of Elon Musk. In Oregoners, he examines the economic, political, and cultural forces that he argues transformed Oregon and Portland from magnets for newcomers and businesses into cautionary examples for the rest of the country.</p><p><strong><span>MEDIA ASSETS:</span></strong></p><p><strong>OFFICIAL BOOK WEBSITE: </strong><a href="https://oregonersbook.com/"><span>OregonersBook.com</span></a></p><p><strong>DENNIS KNEALE WEBSITE: </strong><a href="https://denniskneale.com/"><span>DennisKneale.com</span></a></p><p><strong>DENNIS KNEALE ON X: </strong><a href="https://x.com/denniskneale"><span>@DennisKneale</span></a></p><p><strong>AMAZON BOOK PAGE: </strong><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Oregoners-State-Chased-Businesses-People/dp/B0GZVXMDYN/"><span>View Oregoners on Amazon</span></a></p><p><em><strong><span>TO BOOK INTERVIEWS EMAIL: aj.publius@gmail.com, sarah.publius@gmail.com, davidc.publius@gmail.com</span></strong></em></p><p></p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Author Available: She Has Superfans?

What began as a family&#8217;s struggle with disability has become one of the most talked-about&#8212;and scientifically examined&#8212;cases at the intersection of neuroscience, consciousness, and faith.</span></p><p>Why this story matters now</p><p>Houston&#8217;s condition left him unable to speak or control his body&#8212;but with extraordinary cognitive and perceptual abilities that stunned every professional who encountered him. His case has since become the subject of major scientific inquiry, a new national documentary, and season one of the hit podcast The Telepathy Tapes&#8212;which reached #1 on Christmas Day, surpassing even The Joe Rogan Experience.</p><p>This story is now drawing interest from:</p><p>&#8226; Dr. Diane Hennacy Powell (Johns Hopkins&#8211;trained neuroscientist),</p><p>&#8226; Dr. Julia Mossbridge (Northwestern University),</p><p>&#8226; Dr. Marjorie Woollacott (University of Oregon, Professor Emeritus),</p><p><span>&#8226; Jeff Tarrant, PhD (EEG neuroscience specialist),</span><br><span>and other researchers who are peer-reviewing Houston&#8217;s data and conducting additional studies.</span></p><p>Their findings challenge long-held assumptions about the brain, consciousness, neurological injury, and even the nature of the soul.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

about a boy whose neurological injury left him trapped in his own body, yet able to describe spiritual realities and scriptural truths he had never been exposed to.</p><p>The book blends rigorous scientific research, firsthand testimony, neurological and physiological analysis, and the spiritual insights Houston shared despite being unable to speak.</p><p>Readers in more than seven countries have written to say the book changed their lives.</p><p><strong>Why the story is controversial&#8212;and important</strong></p><p>The documentary team behind The Telepathy Tapes chose to avoid the spiritual dimension of Houston&#8217;s experiences. His mother wrote this book so the full story&#8212;the scientific and spiritual components&#8212;could finally be told without dilution.</p><p>Her claim is not merely that her son has unusual abilities, but that his case offers evidence of consciousness independent from motor function and aligns with key descriptions in Scripture.</p><p>This story sits at the crossroads of neuroscience, disability, faith, the mind&#8211;body problem, family endurance, and the limits of what we believe is possible.</p><p>It&#8217;s rare for a memoir to generate this level of scientific attention &#8212; and rarer still for scientists of this caliber to engage with a single case across multiple studies, podcasts, and documentaries.</p><p>The audiobook releases this December, and the documentary will debut this spring.</p><p><strong>PLUG BOOK:</strong><span> </span><em><a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/1737898608?ref=cm_sw_r_ffobk_cso_cp_apin_dp_ASH745HX4Y96PG8PB7Z5_1&amp;ref_=cm_sw_r_ffobk_cso_cp_apin_dp_ASH745HX4Y96PG8PB7Z5_1&amp;social_share=cm_sw_r_ffobk_cso_cp_apin_dp_ASH745HX4Y96PG8PB7Z5_1&amp;bestFormat=true&amp;titleSource=true">The Book of Heaven: A Story of Hope for the Outcasts, the Broken, and Those Who Lost Faith</a></em></p><p><strong>BIO:</strong><span> Katie Asher, a writer, researcher, and mother whose memoir,</span><a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/1737898608?ref=cm_sw_r_ffobk_cso_cp_apin_dp_ASH745HX4Y96PG8PB7Z5_1&amp;ref_=cm_sw_r_ffobk_cso_cp_apin_dp_ASH745HX4Y96PG8PB7Z5_1&amp;social_share=cm_sw_r_ffobk_cso_cp_apin_dp_ASH745HX4Y96PG8PB7Z5_1&amp;bestFormat=true&amp;titleSource=true">The Book of Heaven: A Story of Hope for the Outcasts, the Broken, and Those Who Lost Faith</a><span>, co-authored with her severely neurologically injured autistic son, Houston&#8212;has ignited international conversations about consciousness, spiritual perception, and the reality of the soul.

Through extensive firsthand interviews, the film traces the chain of decisions that carried the United States from a planned military withdrawal to the rapid collapse of the Afghan government and military and a desperate, last-minute evacuation of more than 124,000 people.</span></p><p><span>The documentary examines the decision to withdraw all U.S. forces, the closure of Bagram Air Base, the removal of military support systems relied upon by Afghan forces, the delayed civilian evacuation, the Taliban&#8217;s rapid advance, the chaos surrounding Kabul airport, the ISIS-K threat, the Abbey Gate bombing, and the subsequent U.S. drone strike that killed ten civilians, including seven children.</span></p><p><span>But the film&#8217;s most powerful story begins where the headlines ended. Marines and other service members who carried out the evacuation describe being forced into impossible moral choices: determining which desperate families possessed the right documents, returning others to exits controlled by the Taliban, witnessing death and suffering they could not prevent, and then returning home to live with those decisions.</span></p><p><span>That is where The Path to Zero becomes more than a documentary about a failed evacuation. It becomes an examination of accountability, abandonment, leadership, and moral injury - and asks whether those who made the decisions have adequately answered to the young Americans ordered to carry them out.</span></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

end of America&#8217;s longest war, creating a natural national moment to reassess what happened and what remains unresolved.</span></p><p><span>The documentary includes firsthand testimony from senior U.S. military leadership, diplomats, special operations personnel, Afghan military leadership, and Marines who executed the evacuation on the ground.</span></p><p><span>The film moves beyond partisan argument by reconstructing the sequence of decisions and allowing participants closest to the events to describe what they saw, believed, and were ordered to do.</span></p><p><span>Moral injury among the Marines who served at Kabul airport provides a powerful and underexplored human story about the long-term consequences of military decisions.</span></p><p><span>Afghanistan remains relevant to debates over American credibility, military leadership, alliances, deterrence, veterans, and what the United States owes to partners left behind.</span></p><p><strong><span>FIVE CONVERSATIONS THIS FILM CAN OWN:</span></strong></p><p><strong><span>1. HOW DID AMERICA GET FROM A PLANNED WITHDRAWAL TO THE CHAOS AT KABUL AIRPORT?</span></strong></p><p><span>A reconstruction of the decisions involving the full U.S. withdrawal, Bagram Air Base, evacuation planning, the Afghan government&#8217;s collapse, and the frantic final weeks of August 2021.</span></p><p><strong><span>2. WHAT REALLY HAPPENED AT THE GATES OF KABUL AIRPORT?</span></strong></p><p><span>Firsthand accounts from Marines and commanders describing the crowds, conflicting guidance, impossible screening decisions, Taliban presence, violence, and the extraordinary effort that ultimately evacuated more than 124,000 people.</span></p><p><strong><span>3. ABBEY GATE: THE DAY THE WITHDRAWAL TURNED DEADLY</span></strong></p><p><span>The growing ISIS-K threat, the August 26 suicide bombing, the American service members and Afghan civilians killed, and the questions that remain about security and decision-making.</span></p><p><strong><span>4. THE HIDDEN WOUND OF THE WITHDRAWAL: MORAL INJURY</span></strong></p><p><span>Why some veterans describe the experience not simply as trauma, but as moral injury - the psychological and spiritual consequences of witnessing or participating in events that violate deeply held values.</span></p><p><strong><span>5.

Through firsthand accounts from military leaders, government officials, intelligence personnel, Afghan allies, and Marines at the airport gates, the film explores the impossible choices and devastating consequences of the withdrawal - including Abbey Gate, the evacuation of more than 124,000 people, and the thousands of Afghan allies left behind. Ultimately, the film examines the lasting moral injury carried by those who were there and asks whether the tragedy could have been prevented.</span></p><p><strong><span>THE MORAL INJURY STORY:</span></strong></p><p><span>Joseph Laude, founder and CEO of Operation Allies Refuge Foundation, describes moral injury as the damage that can occur when a person witnesses or participates in actions that violate his or her moral compass. In the film, Marines describe being placed in situations where paperwork, orders, crowd control and security concerns could determine whether a family escaped Afghanistan or was sent back toward Taliban-controlled exits. Their testimony raises a question that extends far beyond Afghanistan: What responsibility does a nation have to the service members who must live with the moral consequences of decisions made far above them?</span></p><p><strong>PLUG DOCUMENTARY:</strong><em><span> </span>The Path to Zero</em></p><p><strong>BIO: </strong><span>Michael Pack is the President and CEO of Palladium Pictures LLC, an independent film company he launched in 2023 with his wife, Executive Producer Gina Cappo Pack.

Or, as the android David says at the turn of Alien: Prometheus, &#8220;Big things have small beginnings.&#8221;</p><p>Great states prepare for great dangers. They assemble staff, committees, intelligence services and councils of experts. They calculate tonnage, divisions, distances and probabilities.

It is a detail overlooked, an assumption left unexamined, a decision whose importance becomes apparent only after events have made correction impossible.</p><p>Ancient Lydia, according to <a href="https://www.britannica.com/biography/Herodotus-Greek-historian">Herodotus</a>, was undone when a Persian soldier discovered how to scale what had been considered an impregnable part of the citadel at Sardis after observing a Lydian descend the cliff to retrieve a fallen helmet. The Titanic, equipped with the finest technology of her age, sailed into an ice field while the lookouts lacked binoculars.</p><p>Such episodes are usually attributed to the accidents of history. More disturbing are the mistakes made not at the edges of events but at their center&#8212;by presidents, generals and governments possessing immense resources and abundant information.</p><p>The difficulty is rarely stupidity.

In </span><em><span>America&#8217;s Hundred Years&#8217; War</span></em><span>, Dr. Bradley A. Thayer argues that the struggle against Communism did not end with the fall of the Soviet Union&#8212;it evolved, spread, and embedded itself within American politics, institutions, and culture, and Western civilization.</span></p><p><span>Tracing the roots of modern political upheaval back to the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917, Thayer contends that Leninism shaped not only the Soviet Union and Communist China, but also the ideological movements now transforming America from within. From the Comintern to the Chinese Communist Party, from Mao and Xi Jinping to George Soros and the progressivism of the modern Democratic Party, Thayer presents a sweeping reinterpretation of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries as one continuous ideological conflict against Communism.</span></p><p><span>Blending Cold War history, geopolitical analysis, political theory, and cultural critique, </span><em><span>America&#8217;s Hundred Years&#8217; War </span></em><span>examines the rise of Communist ideology abroad, its penetration into American institutions at home, and the growing battle over American identity, free speech, education, technology, and Western civilization itself. Thayer argues that the key to victory over Communism is a rebirth of American identity: the American spirit, political liberalism, and Western civilization.</span></p><p><span>Provocative, expansive, and unapologetically ideological, this book offers a stark warning about the future of America and a roadmap for those who believe the fight for the American experiment is far from over.</span></p><p><strong><span>PLUG BOOK:</span></strong><span> </span><em><a

has spent his career working at the intersection of the systems Americans depend on most: law, housing, banking, government and emerging financial technology. Before entering politics, he spent more than two decades practicing law in Ohio, much of it representing homeowners and small businesses navigating foreclosure and financial distress. Then he took those experiences into the Ohio Statehouse.</span></p><p><span>Elected to the Ohio House in 2014 after winning his Republican primary by just 66 votes, Dever served two terms and chaired the House Financial Institutions, Housing and Urban Development Committee. There, the attorney who had spent years inside foreclosure court became one of the lawmakers responsible for writing and modernizing the state&#8217;s banking and housing laws.</span></p><p><span>His legislative work included the D.O.L.L.A.R. Deed program, a foreclosure alternative designed to allow a homeowner in default to transfer the property to a lender, remain in the home as a renter and preserve an opportunity to repurchase it. He also worked on legislation expanding financial independence for Ohioans with disabilities through tax-advantaged savings accounts.</span></p><p><span>After government, Dever moved from regulating and writing banking law to building a bank himself. He founded Commercium Financial, which received Wyoming&#8217;s fourth Special Purpose Depository Institution charter for digital assets in 2021, placing him at the center of the developing collision between traditional banking, blockchain, tokenized assets and financial regulation.</span></p><p><span>Today, as COO of Proximity and author of the forthcoming </span><em><span>Grift </span></em><span>trilogy, Dever brings an unusually broad perspective to one central question: What happens when the institutions designed to protect ordinary Americans become too complicated, too insulated or too self-interested to serve them?</span></p><p><strong><span>WHY BOOK HIM NOW?</span></strong></p><p><strong><span>1.

and flight attendants into the national spotlight.</span></p><p><span>Millions of Americans fly every year, but relatively few understand that cosmic radiation increases with altitude.</span></p><p><span>Airline crews can spend decades accumulating occupational exposure while working irregular schedules and repeatedly crossing time zones.</span></p><p><span>The findings raise questions about whether current monitoring, education and preventive screening recommendations for flight crews are sufficient.</span></p><p><span>The issue opens a larger conversation about occupational health: What risks should employers and government monitor when science identifies a potentially dangerous long-term exposure?</span></p><p><strong><span>FIVE CONVERSATIONS HE CAN OWN:<br>1. WHY WOULD FLYING INCREASE RADIATION EXPOSURE?</span></strong></p><p><span>What cosmic radiation is, why exposure increases at altitude, and how years spent working aboard aircraft may create a very different exposure profile than occasional passenger travel.</span></p><p><strong><span>2. WHICH CANCERS ARE RAISING CONCERN?</span></strong></p><p><span>What researchers found regarding leukemia, lymphoma, multiple myeloma, skin cancers, breast cancer, thyroid cancer and other malignancies associated with radiation.</span></p><p><strong><span>3. SHOULD PILOTS AND FLIGHT ATTENDANTS BE SCREENED DIFFERENTLY?</span></strong></p><p><span>Whether occupational history should play a larger role in conversations between airline personnel and their physicians about cancer prevention and early detection.</span></p><p><strong><span>4. IS RADIATION THE ONLY POSSIBLE CULPRIT?</span></strong></p><p><span>How circadian-rhythm disruption, overnight schedules, repeated time-zone changes, sleep disturbance and other occupational factors could potentially contribute to long-term health risks.</span></p><p><strong><span>5. ARE WE DOING ENOUGH TO PROTECT AIRLINE CREWS?</span></strong></p><p><span>What airlines, regulators, healthcare professionals and individual crew members should know about occupational exposure - and whether better education, monitoring and research are needed.</span></p><p><strong><span>GREAT QUESTIONS FOR DR. GIORGIANNI:</span></strong></p><p><span>When people hear &#8220;radiation exposure,&#8221; they probably picture a nuclear facility - not an airline cockpit. What exactly are pilots and flight attendants being exposed to at 35,000 feet?</span></p><p><span>How concerned should a pilot or flight attendant who has been flying professionally for 20 or 30 years be about these findings?</span></p><p><span>The study found a higher proportion of deaths from radiation-related cancers among airline crews. How should we interpret that finding without overstating what the research can prove?</span></p><p><span>Are there particular cancers that pilots and flight attendants should be especially aware of?</span></p><p><span>Should someone who has spent decades working aboard aircraft tell their doctor that occupational history when discussing cancer screening?</span></p><p><span>Could disrupted sleep and constantly crossing time zones be contributing alongside radiation exposure?</span></p><p><span>Do we actually know how much radiation an individual pilot or flight attendant accumulates during a career?</span></p><p><span>Should airlines be monitoring cumulative radiation exposure for their employees?</span></p><p><span>What preventive steps can airline personnel realistically take when exposure is inherent to doing their jobs?</span></p><p><span>Does this research point to a larger problem in American medicine - that we sometimes fail to consider a patient&#8217;s occupation when evaluating long-term disease risk?</span></p><p><strong><span>ON-AIR INTRO:</span></strong></p><p><span>Dr. Salvatore J.

The authors write: &#8220;At the lunar south pole, mines may someday harvest ice for rocket propellant, avoiding Earth launch costs. To attract investment, miners will need legal acknowledgment of first and continuous occupation, control over land use, the ability to exclude others and assurance that land and improvements can be sold or transferred. In short, ownership rights to lunar real estate. Property rights typically co-evolve with commercial activity: An initial legal floor enables activity, experience exposes gaps, and law hardens provisional practice into financeable rights. Homesteaders fenced and plowed the American West; Congress later codified their claims into law. Lunar property rights will likely follow the same path.&#8221;</p><p>It is very encouraging that the debate over property rights&#8212;a central theme of my book &#8220;<a href="https://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/new-space-capitalism/">New Space Capitalism</a>&#8221; - is now entering the public arena.</p><p><strong>READ MORE <a

largest initial public offering in history. For many, this marks the starting signal of the dawn of a new era in space capitalism. Of 324 global rocket launches last year, SpaceX accounted for 165. If SpaceX were a country, it would be the world&#8217;s number one spacefaring nation, far ahead of China.</p><p>In this book, world-renowned economic historian Rainer Zitelmann explores the historical factors underpinning the success of private space exploration and offers insights into its future trajectory. His thesis: While the technical prerequisites for conquering Mars and mining asteroids already exist, the true breakthrough in space exploration will only occur once a framework for buying and selling land on celestial bodies exists.</p><p>This book makes it possible for the first time to understand the history of public and private spaceflight in their interplay, while at the same time providing a scientifically sound outlook on the great opportunities of the space economy.</p><p><strong>PLUG BOOK:</strong><span> </span><em><a href="https://www.amazon.com/New-Space-Capitalism-Entrepreneurial-Stars/dp/1510788212/ref=sr_1_1?crid=BWXD449G0HZD&amp;dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.MJhgNIOt8ffOKgh0qK2u5GymvfPHoV4WwIXU5n5nMIMg3X6KSnlnKr_zbYp64tKfY0E4tpvabgVMgVTWpgoGrlHjOeEitYSz-JKdfsc12gnY-0hjEug3qkjdD2kMVKGa-C-Hj5vnXQoPs_Br9SOr2_01L8zHwKkSeiW6GJfFBo4oP-AzkE3Kq6xehUsmr4OrTLCpl2kl-BfS_Q5DsTxVylbM6YJUN0HSQcY6r5uhRVQ.zdh9cd9YBYPeN7lA8ing_G4P0lvG2V_zOYkaWBFX3AU&amp;dib_tag=se&amp;keywords=New+Space+Capitalism&amp;qid=1777897182&amp;sprefix=new+space+capitalism%2Caps%2C124&amp;sr=8-1">New Space Capitalism: The Entrepreneurial Path to the Stars</a></em></p><p><strong>BIO:</strong><span> Rainer Zitelmann, author of </span><a href="https://www.amazon.com/New-Space-Capitalism-Entrepreneurial-Stars/dp/1510788212/ref=sr_1_1?crid=BWXD449G0HZD&amp;dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.MJhgNIOt8ffOKgh0qK2u5GymvfPHoV4WwIXU5n5nMIMg3X6KSnlnKr_zbYp64tKfY0E4tpvabgVMgVTWpgoGrlHjOeEitYSz-JKdfsc12gnY-0hjEug3qkjdD2kMVKGa-C-Hj5vnXQoPs_Br9SOr2_01L8zHwKkSeiW6GJfFBo4oP-AzkE3Kq6xehUsmr4OrTLCpl2kl-BfS_Q5DsTxVylbM6YJUN0HSQcY6r5uhRVQ.zdh9cd9YBYPeN7lA8ing_G4P0lvG2V_zOYkaWBFX3AU&amp;dib_tag=se&amp;keywords=New+Space+Capitalism&amp;qid=1777897182&amp;sprefix=new+space+capitalism%2Caps%2C124&amp;sr=8-1">New Space Capitalism: The Entrepreneurial Path to the Stars</a><span>, has doctorates in history and sociology.

the long-time champion of free-market principles, discards them to embrace many of the state-based solutions of the Democratic Party? You have conservative socialism. We are seeing a Republican Administration embrace industrial policy with gusto. The White House has used its trade and regulatory authority to take a big cut of one U.S. company&#8217;s semiconductor exports, forced an equity stake on a major tech company to become its largest shareholder, while proposing price controls in industries ranging from pharmaceuticals to financial services.<br><br>Tariffs are often lifted or imposed according to the political position of a company, or the connections of its lobbyists. Regulatory threats and the blockage of mergers have been used to punish news organizations and talk show hosts for their speech.<br><br>Nowhere is the leftward turn of the Republican Party more apparent than in antitrust.</span></p><p><strong><span>BIO:</span></strong><span> Robert H.

Bork, he is the Co- Author of The New Paradox: Antitrust and the Threat of Conservative Socialism.</span></p><p><span>The AEP is a response by legal scholars, thinkers and practitioners to the recent deterioration in American antitrust theory and application.</span></p><p><span>The Project teaches a new generation of Americans about the success of the centerpiece antitrust concept, the Consumer Welfare Standard. We use debate to challenge legal thinkers and practitioners to respond to the prevailing standard&#8217;s diagnosis of the weaknesses and dangers lurking in their theories.</span></p><p><span>To advance this mission, AEP produce videos, blogs, infographics, and opinion-editorials, and sponsor discussions and debates on a standard that, up until now, has governed antitrust law. AEP also engages law schools, legal forums and judicial organizations.</span></p><p><span>Mr. Bork&#8217;s range of experience includes antitrust, product liability, intellectual property, securities fraud, economic espionage, white-collar crime, mergers and acquisitions, First Amendment, and employment discrimination.</span></p><p><strong><span>FIND HIS WEBSITE </span><a href="/__u/substack.com/redirect/18eaa6b3-9fcf-4dc1-b2ce-dccf860195ae?j=eyJ1IjoiMnp4enV2In0.CqA3yhAZNpHFil-2b7c0Bpifa6MQC0WN1v0CJjJX5Ak"><span>HERE</span></a><span>:</span></strong></p><p><strong><span>FIND HIM ON FACEBOOK </span><a href="/__u/substack.com/redirect/8efd70c1-b996-4f53-bbd2-83399aece1ac?j=eyJ1IjoiMnp4enV2In0.CqA3yhAZNpHFil-2b7c0Bpifa6MQC0WN1v0CJjJX5Ak"><span>HERE</span></a><span>:</span></strong></p><p><strong><span>FIND HIM ON TWITTER </span><a href="/__u/substack.com/redirect/f14dd8be-55cb-4c03-a1e2-98ede20897c9?j=eyJ1IjoiMnp4enV2In0.CqA3yhAZNpHFil-2b7c0Bpifa6MQC0WN1v0CJjJX5Ak"><span>HERE</span></a><span>:</span></strong></p><p><strong><span>FIND HIM ON SUBSTACK </span><a href="/__u/substack.com/@robertborkjr"><span>HERE:</span></a></strong></p><p><em><strong>TO BOOK INTERVIEWS EMAIL: sutton.publius@gmail.com, aj.publius@gmail.com, kimberlyt.publius@gmail.com</strong></em></p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[How Many Wins Does The DSA Need Before Its Their Party? ]]></title><description><![CDATA[Top Obama ally reveals which far-left candidate needs to lose to help progressives win]]></description><link>https://publiusnationalpost.substack.com/p/how-many-wins-does-the-dsa-need-before</link><guid isPermaLink="false">https://publiusnationalpost.substack.com/p/how-many-wins-does-the-dsa-need-before</guid><pubDate>Tue, 11 Aug 2026 14:46:24 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!h-ei!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F978ecbea-247b-4af1-8edd-357c9b929576_770x514.heic" length="0" type="image/jpeg"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2 style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/top-obama-ally-reveals-which-far-left-candidate-needs-lose-help-progressives-win">The Obama strategist called Hong a &#8216;font of zany liberal, faculty lounge exotica&#8217; who could hurt other progressives</a></h2><p><strong>PUBLIUS SPECIAL GUEST:</strong><span> John Gordon, is a national political analyst and host of syndicated radio show, </span><em><a href="https://rumble.com/c/JohnGordonTruth/livestreams">The Truth with John Gordon</a></em><span>.</span></p><p><em><strong><span>TO BOOK INTERVIEWS EMAIL: kimberlyt.publius@gmail.com, aj.publius@gmail.com, sarah.publius@gmail.com</span></strong></em></p><p>David Axelrod, one of the architects behind President Barack Obama&#8217;s presidential campaigns, believes other progressives might stand a better chance of getting elected if, in his view, one of their more unserious candidates loses an upcoming primary.</p><p>&#8220;It would be good for Abdul El-Sayed if Francesca Hong loses her bid to become the Democratic nominee in <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/category/us/us-regions/midwest/wisconsin">Wisconsin</a> next week,&#8221; Axelrod wrote in a post to X.</p><p>&#8220;He is a serious person.

Drawing on his firsthand experience inside DC conservative circles and his immersion in those online subcultures, Greer shows how the failures of the GOP during the Obama years, and the unconstrained, sometimes too unconstrained, meme culture of the internet, transformed American politics forever.</span></p><p><span>Part history, part insider&#8217;s chronicle, Whitepill explains how Trump and the

In </span><em><span>America&#8217;s Hundred Years&#8217; War</span></em><span>, Dr. Bradley A. Thayer argues that the struggle against Communism did not end with the fall of the Soviet Union&#8212;it evolved, spread, and embedded itself within American politics, institutions, and culture, and Western civilization.</span></p><p><span>Tracing the roots of modern political upheaval back to the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917, Thayer contends that Leninism shaped not only the Soviet Union and Communist China, but also the ideological movements now transforming America from within. From the Comintern to the Chinese Communist Party, from Mao and Xi Jinping to George Soros and the progressivism of the modern Democratic Party, Thayer presents a sweeping reinterpretation of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries as one continuous ideological conflict against Communism.</span></p><p><span>Blending Cold War history, geopolitical analysis, political theory, and cultural critique, </span><em><span>America&#8217;s Hundred Years&#8217; War </span></em><span>examines the rise of Communist ideology abroad, its penetration into American institutions at home, and the growing battle over American identity, free speech, education, technology, and Western civilization itself. Thayer argues that the key to victory over Communism is a rebirth of American identity: the American spirit, political liberalism, and Western civilization.</span></p><p><span>Provocative, expansive, and unapologetically ideological, this book offers a stark warning about the future of America and a roadmap for those who believe the fight for the American experiment is far from over.</span></p><p><strong><span>PLUG BOOK:</span></strong><span> </span><em><a
