Download or read book It s Never Easy for the President to Get Exactly what He Wants written by Markus B. Siewert and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on an original dataset of 100 important pieces of legislation passed during the three presidencies of William J. Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack H. Obama (1992-2013), this study explores two sets of questions: (1) How do presidents influence legislators in Congress in the legislative arena, and what factors have an effect on the legislative strategies presidents choose? (2) How successful are presidents in getting their policy positions enacted into law, and what configurations of institutional and actor-centered conditions determine presidential legislative success? The analyses show that in an hyper-polarized environment, presidents usually have to fight an uphill-battle in the legislative arena, getting more involved if they face less favorable contexts and the odds are against them. Moreover, the analyses suggest that there is no silver-bullet approach for presidents' legislative success. Instead, multiple patterns of success exist as presidents - depending on the institutional and public environment - can resort to different combinations of actions in order to see their preferred policy outcomes enacted.

Download or read book Amusing Ourselves to Death written by Neil Postman and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2005-12-27 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What happens when media and politics become forms of entertainment? As our world begins to look more and more like Orwell's 1984, Neil's Postman's essential guide to the modern media is more relevant than ever. "It's unlikely that Trump has ever read Amusing Ourselves to Death, but his ascent would not have surprised Postman.” -CNN Originally published in 1985, Neil Postman’s groundbreaking polemic about the corrosive effects of television on our politics and public discourse has been hailed as a twenty-first-century book published in the twentieth century. Now, with television joined by more sophisticated electronic media—from the Internet to cell phones to DVDs—it has taken on even greater significance. Amusing Ourselves to Death is a prophetic look at what happens when politics, journalism, education, and even religion become subject to the demands of entertainment. It is also a blueprint for regaining control of our media, so that they can serve our highest goals. “A brilliant, powerful, and important book. This is an indictment that Postman has laid down and, so far as I can see, an irrefutable one.” –Jonathan Yardley, The Washington Post Book World

Book excerpt: Reckless Kiss is book 2 of the Shattered Hearts MC trilogy. Book 3, Burning Kiss, is available everywhere now! I took her unprotected just to keep her safe. I'm holding her here under the president's orders. But the fiery mystery that drove Meghan into my arms has hidden layers I never expected. She doesn't want my help, but she's getting it anyways. We'll find the answers she wants. Then I'll pin her down and take what I want, too. DIRK When your MC president gives you a job, you do it. No questions. No dallying. Just get the sh!t done. But when the job turns out to be snatching up his baby sister and keeping her under my eye, things get a little more interesting. It doesn't hurt that Meghan is a stone cold fox, with the temper to match. She's feisty. I like that in a woman. It makes it all the more fun when I break them. But what was supposed to be a simple bodyguard job turned into exile and war as we run from the men who seem to want her dead. Protecting your mark is never easy, but it's even harder when I'm dying inside to get my hands on her curvy little frame. Every time she smiles at me, I feel emotions bubbling to the surface. Things I haven't felt in years. Things that make me want to break all the rules to make her mine. F**k it all. I've decided I want her in my arms. And I don't care what I have to do to keep her there. MEGHAN I left behind everything to make a life for myself. The biker world has long since receded in my rearview mirror. Now, all I want is piece in my little corner of the city. No war, no choppers, no dead bodies. Just quiet. Calm. Gratitude. But I soon learn that it's not so easy to escape the outlaw lifestyle. My brother – the one who refused to give up his biker ways when I left – calls me out of the blue. His voice is different than I remember. Darker. Deeper. More haunted and cruel. He tells me I'm in danger. Whether I like it or not, he's pulling me back into the world of the Shattered Hearts MC. He says it's for my own good. But the man he sends to collect me doesn't seem good at all. In fact, he's the definition of a bad boy. Dirk Dvorak is everything I ran away from. Massive, muscled, tatted, and terrifying. But he keeps making me react to his presence in ways I never anticipated. He takes what he wants. And gives me only what I beg for. I'm forced to watch from within the MC clubhouse as my little store goes up in flames. No one seems to give a d*mn about finding out who wanted to hurt me so bad. Not even my dear brother. No one, that is – except for Dirk. And the longer I spend on the hunt for answers with the biker bad boy by my side, the more I find out about the man he truly is. And the more I fall deeper and deeper down the rabbit hole I tried so desperately to claw my way out of.

Book excerpt: -Tanner- She was beautiful. Loved. Strong. After hiding away for six months with just my dog to keep me company, I was forced out of the shadows only to end up in the arms of an enemy. Beatrix Lister saved my life. I had been taking care of myself for so long, I didn’t know how to ask for help, but she refused to go down without a fight. She was warm where I was frigid. She was kind and caring where I was a cold-blooded monster. I did things to survive. I battled the evils of the world to live. I didn’t deserve her heart but fell in love with her anyway. As much as I wanted to be with her, I needed answers and I would do anything to get them. Even if it meant breaking the heart of the only woman I had ever loved. ~ -Bee- He was lonely. Intense. Brave. Tanner Horsch came into my life unexpectedly. He was like a tornado, ripping up everything in its path. There was something about him that I craved. His touch. His words. His need to survive. But as we were getting to know each other, he still had walls up. He refused to let me in knowing my family didn’t approve of him. I refused to let him go. After being in the wrong place at the wrong time, he escaped and eventually he ran right into my arms. He was the villain of someone else’s story, but he was the hero of mine. I just prayed that he could see that not all monsters are truly evil. Before it was too late, and he gave himself to the enemy. My family.

Download or read book The Clock and the Calendar written by Doug Collins and published by Post Hill Press. This book was released on 2021-11-16 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historians will look back over time at the events of the fall of 2019 and the impeachment of Donald J. Trump, and will debate the merits of the charges and the circumstances that caused the whole debacle. In The Clock and the Calendar, Congressman Doug Collins will explain why the impeachment was not really about a phone call with a foreign leader or how the president conducted himself; no, it was not even about the Russia investigation that had fizzled just months before these proceedings. What happened in the halls of Congress during this time was merely a date with a destiny that was dreamed of by Democrats still feeling the sting of bitter tears in Brooklyn on the night that Donald Trump derailed the coronation of Hillary Clinton. It was on that night that the mainstream media was stunned and brought to tears, and the Washington establishment shook to their very core, that the seed was planted. We may not have won tonight, they said, but we will never let this stand. Instead of looking to win again in four years, the movement began to look for another solution. Seeds had already been sown: the way was impeachment and that was the destiny they sought.
