"#1 New York Times bestselling author Ben Shapiro returns with this book uncovering the Left's assault on history, language, and culture. Traditional areas of civic agreement are vanishing.

"Disintegrationists" say we're stronger together, but their assault on America's history,...

The American Left is pushing a big lie right now: that President Donald Trump, the Republican Party, and conservatives are a fascist threat. That threat is so grave, the Left tells us, that it justifies violent 'anti-fascist' protests, the shouting down of conservative speakers, and demands (that started even before he was sworn in) for the impeachment and assassination of the democratically elected president of the United States. But this is actually...

Enough of the leftist lunatics like Rosie O'Donnell who think "Radical Christians" are "as big a threat to America as Radical Muslims."

Enough, too, of the gutless...

"The 1990s was a decade of extreme change. Seismic shifts in culture, politics, and technology radically altered the way Americans did business, expressed themselves, and thought about their role in the world. At the center of it all was Bill Clinton, the talented, charismatic, and flawed Baby Boomer president and his controversial, polarizing, but increasingly popular wife Hillary. Although it was in many ways a Democratic Gilded Age, the final decade...
