What book on politics/commentary that has come out in the last year or so have you enjoyed reading? Could be anything about actual policy or about elections/psephology.

Thanks in advance, friends.

I haven't read it in a while; think it is about a dozen years old. But it was damned good and I always wanted them to make a movie about it. Thought Joe Don Baker would make the perfect George Morton.

Primetime Propaganda by Ben Shapiro is very interesting.

Atlas Shrugged. Although written 60 years ago you'd swear it was a new release given politics of today.

I highly recommend 'Because They Hate'. It's particularly topical given all the talk about Muslim immigration and is an alarming bellwether to what's to become of Europe and the U.S. if we don't stop the mass immigration of Muslims to the western world. She talks about growing up in Lebanon in the 70's when it was a Phoenician/Christian nation and how their insistence on taking in Muslim immigrants doomed the natives to violence, turmoil, and the eventual downfall of the jewel of the middle east.

I do not know. I will say it's pretty fricking good. It's a great read. As is brave new world. Proof the power struggle that is going on has been repeated for years.
