With Mother’s Day this Sunday, we honor the mothers of the world who sacrifice so much for the good of their families. Mothers have one of the most difficult vocations, and that extends to the “mothers” of our country: The First Ladies. Barbara Bush, long heralded as one of America’s most popular First Ladies, published her memoir in 1994, but her passing moved many Americans to read her inspirational story.
In her bestselling memoir, Bush paints a portrait of her life from her upbringing in New York, to meeting George H. W. Bush and the world of politics that surrounded her for much of her life.
Barbara Bush was born in Rye, New York, and married George H.W. Bush in 1945. She was the First Lady of the United States from 1989 to 1993. She has five children, including President George W. Bush and Florida Governor Jeb Bush, and fourteen grandchildren. She was the founder of the Barbara Bush Foundation for Family Literacy.
“In light of Mother’s Day, Barbara Bush was a wonderful example and leaves a lasting legacy as First Lady and as a strong mother that will be cherished forever,” said Christopher Malagisi, Editor in Chief of the Conservative Book Club. “Her passing was sobering but this biography reminds us what a remarkable woman she was.”

The truth behind how well-funded hard-left extremists, the mainstream media, and Obama/Clinton holdovers in the government bureaucracy have combined with clandestine forces within the US intelligence apparatus – the “Deep State” — to block and undermine Trump’s every move. At 2:45 a.m. ET on Nov. 8, 2016, television networks announced to a stunned nation that Pennsylvania’s 20 electoral had gone for Donald Trump, making him the president-elect of the United States, defying all odds in a surreal victory that sent the Deep State into an immediate sense of panic.

Discrimination and Disparities challenges believers in such one-factor explanations of economic outcome differences as discrimination, exploitation or genetics. It is readable enough for people with no prior knowledge of economics. Yet the empirical evidence with which it backs up its analysis spans the globe and challenges beliefs across the ideological spectrum.
The point of Discrimination and Disparities is not to recommend some particular policy “fix” at the end, but to clarify why so many policy fixes have turned out to be counterproductive, […]
