    In the core of Argentina's fierce political scene, a magnetic and disputable figure has arisen, rocking the boat and catching the consideration of a country longing for change. Javier Milei, a financial expert turned lawmaker, has overwhelmed the country with his irregular methodology, the faithful obligation to unregulated economy standards, and strong commitments to monetary renewal.

  • - The Law that Created the American Middle Class
    by Roger Thompson Stelle
    £11.99

    In 1944, John Stelle, WW I Veteran and former Illinois governor, became known as "The Father of the GI Bill" after he quarterbacked a team of American Legion volunteers who, in six short months, saw the GI Bill of Rights written, signed and enacted into law. During World War II, while Stelle supported the war effort stateside, he received a letter from his son John Albert, who was recuperating in a London hospital after being seriously wounded during an artillery barrage. John Albert, in his letter, wrote about the various types of assistance that returning veterans would need from the U.S. government. John Stelle, who had been a founding member of the American Legion, took his son's letter to heart and approached Legion leadership with a proposal to organize a committee to draft proposed federal legislation that would address the health, financial and educational needs of returning soldiers. The Legion adopted the idea wholeheartedly and named John Stelle as chairman of the executive committee to lead the project. Stelle recruited key individuals to participate in the executive committee. They worked day and night for weeks on end to produce an initial draft, which was then presented to the US Senate and House of Representatives. Stelle led the political fight to get the bill enacted, which surprisingly had many critics and opponents, including Franklin Roosevelt himself.From the day of Roosevelt's signing, John Stelle became known as "The Father of the GI Bill". He was the only Legion member present in the Oval Office at the signing.

  • - The forgotten man and woman
    by Christopher Robert Garten
    £20.99

    This book is about a man, a time, and a nation on the verge of the fight of a way of life that families have been prospering from since our freedom was won by the many wars this country lost and shed the blood of Americans since its founding. It takes place during a time of change and reform told through the eyes of an incarcerated person during the 2016 Presidential Election. The story centers around the life of a female federal prisoner and how her personal life and family were changed because of a broken system and a radicalized idea of life. If we allow the government to continue to be in control rather than how our founding fathers wanted Americans to live, then we will be lost without God as the center of our existence. There will be no more family units as we were raised with the values our parents gave them and their parents before them. If we lose the core values of this country, then it is a matter of time before all traditional values will be lost to us forever.There is so much more to learn, and the reader will find it in the pages of this book.
