Blackout: How Black America Can Make Its Second Escape from the Democrat Plantation
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER It's time for a black exit. Political activist and social media star Candace Owens addresses the many ways that Democrat Party policies hurt, rather than help, the African American community, and why she and many others are turning right. Black Americans have long been shackled to the Democrats. Seeing no viable alternative, they have watched liberal politicians take the black vote for granted without pledging anything in return. In Blackout, Owens argues that this automatic allegiance is both illogical and unearned. She contends that the Democrat Party has a long history of racism and exposes the ideals that hinder the black community's ability to rise above poverty, live independent and successful lives, and be an active part of the American Dream. Instead, Owens offers up a different ideology by issuing a challenge: It's time for a major black exodus. From dependency, from victimhood, from miseducation--and the Democrat Party, which perpetuates all three.

Ο Φόνος
Μερικές φορές η ζωή αφορά την εμπιστοσύνη και την αγάπη. Και περιστασιακά, δολοφονία. Όταν η Ρέιτσελ και ο Τζο αποσύρθηκαν σε ένα συγκρότημα κατοικιών 50-Συν, δεν περίμεναν να συναντήσουν διασκεδαστικούς και εκκεντρικούς κατοίκους - ή να ζήσουν τη δολοφονία της φίλης της Ρέιτσελ, η οποία είχε ένα καταφύγιο ζώων. Οι ύποπτοι είναι πολλοί ο επιστάτης του καταφυγίου, ένας βίαιος σύζυγος, ένας περίεργος άντρας και ένας παράξενος άντρας με ψηλό καπέλο. Ενώ διεξάγονται έρευνες για τη δολοφονία, ξεσπούν προβλήματα για το ζευγάρι που φαίνεται να έχουν τον τέλειο γάμο. Αλλά τι θα χρειαστ&
