Author: Michael Waldman
Narrator: Robertson Dean, Michael Waldman
An incisive analysis of how the Supreme Court's new conservative supermajority is overturning decades of law and leading the country in a dangerous political direction. In The Supermajority, Michael Waldman explores the tumultuous 2021-2022 Supreme Court term. He draws deeply on history to examine other times the Court veered from the popular will, provoking controversy and backlash. And he analyzes the most important new rulings and their implications for the law and for American society. Waldman asks: What can we do when the Supreme Court challenges the country? Over three days in June 2022, the conservative supermajority overturned the constitutional right to abortion, possibly opening the door to reconsider other major privacy rights, as Justice Clarence Thomas urged. The Court sharply limited the authority of the EPA, reducing the prospects for combatting climate change. It radically loosened curbs on guns amid an epidemic of mass shootings. It fully embraced legal theories such as "originalism" that will affect thousands of cases throughout the country.

English | ASIN: B0BJ12XB6D | 2023 | 5 hours and 55 minutes | M4B@128 kbps | 328 MB
Author: Martinus Evans
Narrator: Martinus Evans
A practical guide and a celebration of running for runners of all sizes and athletic ability, from the founder of the Slow AF Run Club. Ten years ago, Martinus Evans got some stern advice from his doctor: "Lose weight or die." First defensive, but then defiant, Evans vowed that day to run a marathon, though his doctor thought he was crazy. Since then, Evans has run eight marathons and hundreds of other distances in his 300-something pound body, created his own devoted running community, and has been featured on the cover of Runner's World. This book is a blueprint for those who may not fit the image of a "traditional" runner-that is, someone who is larger in size, less athletic, out of shape, or dealing with any kind of health issue that slows them down-to feel empowered to lace up their shoes and embrace the body they have right now.

Free Download The Secret History, 2023 Edition (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0C75J57GZ | 2023 | 4 hours and 15 minutes | M4B@128 kbps | 236 MB
Author: Procopius
Narrator: David Timson
Procopius appeared to be a loyal part of the Byzantine establishment, his official writing glorifying the deeds of the Emperor Justinian (d. AD 565). However, he also produced a work that he knew could never be published within the Emperor's lifetime: The Secret History, a vitriolic indictment of the rule of Justinian and his wife Theodora. In The Secret History, the general Belisarius is presented as an idiot who is manipulated by his conniving wife Antonina, while the Emperor is depicted as a demon king, a dishonest and autocratic destroyer of established institutions. The Empress Theodora doesn't escape Procopius' invective-she is portrayed as the antithesis of the traditional Roman matron: depraved, brutal and bloodthirsty.

Author: Jason Chaffetz
Narrator: Jason Chaffetz
New York Times bestselling author, Fox News contributor, and former Congressman Jason Chaffetz reveals how an unelected bureaucracy-and not just the government-is infringing on our rights. For years, many Americans have increasingly felt that their votes don't change things. While the powerful unelected bureaucracy has certainly instituted liberal policies that Americans don't want, there is another force pushing leftism into American society. From nonprofit leaders to union bosses to global CEOs, many unelected and unchanging leaders have worked in parallel with the aims of "permanent Washington." Through everything from curriculum to ESG standards, these leaders have quietly mainstreamed progressivism. Ideas that used to be only on the left are now "normal" in American life. In The Puppeteers, Jason Chaffetz exposes a host of unchecked actors who influence American life in profound ways and tells you what you can do about it.

The next generation within wealthy families are often said to be born with a silver spoon in their mouths. Perceived as free from life's toughest challenges. "Having it all." But being raised in affluence brings a unique set of pressures and hidden tripwires. Great wealth casts a long shadow. Inheritors commonly face intense familial expectations, public scrutiny and judgment, and confusing or debilitating self-narratives, under which many flounder. And we―as family, friends, and society―slowly lose their contribution to our lives and the common good.
