Описание: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - From the veteran political journalist and 60 Minutes correspondent, a deep dive into the history, evolution, and current state of the American presidency--and how we can make the job less impossible and more productive.
"This is a great gift to our sense of the actual presidency, a primer on leadership."--Ken Burns Imagine you have just been elected president. You are now commander-in-chief, chief executive, chief diplomat, chief legislator, chief of party, chief voice of the people, first responder, chief priest, and world leader. You're expected to fulfill your campaign promises, but you're also expected to solve the urgent crises of the day. What's on your to-do list? Where would you even start? What shocks aren't you thinking about? The American presidency is in trouble. It has become overburdened, misunderstood, almost impossible to do. "The problems in the job unfolded before Donald Trump was elected, and the challenges of governing today will confront his successors," writes John Dickerson. After all, the founders never intended for our system of checks and balances to have one superior Chief Magistrate, with Congress demoted to "the little brother who can't keep up." In this eye-opening book, John Dickerson writes about presidents in history such a Washington, Lincoln, FDR, and Eisenhower, and and in contemporary times, from LBJ and Reagan and Bush, Obama, and Trump, to show how a complex job has been done, and why we need to reevaluate how we view the presidency, how we choose our presidents, and what we expect from them once they are in office. Think of the presidential campaign as a job interview. Are we asking the right questions? Are we looking for good campaigners, or good presidents? Once a candidate gets the job, what can they do to thrive? Drawing on research and interviews with current and former White House staffers, Dickerson defines what the job of president actually entails, identifies the things that only the president can do, and analyzes how presidents in history have managed the burden. What qualities make for a good president? Who did it well? Why did Bill Clinton call the White House "the crown jewel in the American penal system"? The presidency is a job of surprises with high stakes, requiring vision, management skill, and an even temperament. Ultimately, in order to evaluate candidates properly for the job, we need to adjust our expectations, and be more realistic about the goals, the requirements, and the limitations of the office. As Dickerson writes, "Americans need their president to succeed, but the presidency is set up for failure. It doesn't have to be."

Описание:
The African-American struggle for freedom has brought attention to the violence that historically has terrorized the descendants of slaves for generations. The beatings, the lynching, shootings, the rapes, have occurred all across America, but nowhere have they been more notorious than in the State of Mississippi. And nowhere have the perpetrators of such violence been granted such long-standing immunity to prosecution than in Mississippi.
Devil's Sanctuary examines the shocking history of the Mississippi State Sovereignty Commission, a secret spy agency that operated as a secret police agency, the racist leanings of state institutions and the news media, the state's use of waterboarding to get convictions from blacks who refused to confess, and the deplorable actions of the state's churches, some of which provided hit men to the KKK-all in the name of preventing blacks from voting and having a say in government. Mississippi, which has the largest percentage of blacks of any state in the union, has made some progress, such as the 2020 decision to remove the Confederate flag from the state flag, but one thing has not changed: Mississippi whites have blocked Mississippi blacks from holding any statewide office for 145 years. Because presidential elections in Mississippi are "winner take all," votes cast by blacks are turned over to white Electoral College members to cast for the candidate of their choice. Just imagine being black and having your vote for president not counted for over 100 years.
The authors of this book, the late Alex A. Alston, a former president of the Mississippi Bar Association, and James L. Dickerson, an award winning journalist, grew up together in the Mississippi Delta, witnessing the sort of crimes against black Americans chronicled in the book.

I cherish my nephew and my nieces
When my only son die and that was
Hardest time in my life and then a couple
Years later my mother died and some time
We would talk for a while before she went
To bed
My mother was very close to me

Описание:
The author Dorothy Dickerson invites her readers to come along with her as she embarks on journeys that even she didn't know were going to take some surprising and shocking turns for the worst as she travelled along the way. The journeys traveled by the author started out as being fun and exciting, but then, she found herself traveling down dark and dreary pathways. Sometimes it seems like it was to the point of no return, and there was no way out. Abuse in forms of economic, physical, sexual, social, and emotional was all experienced during the author's path.
Have you ever stared death in the face and had no time to run or walk away from it? Well, the author has been there. Oh but, by the grace and mercy of God, she survived. The grace of God brought her back. Hallelujah The author lived to tell her story, and she wanted everyone who feel hopeless in their situation to know that there is hope. Prayer works, and God does answer prayer.
There is no fun in being scorned, abused, neglected, and abandoned. The author has experienced it all by the very persons who she thought who loved her the most. Due to the author's experiences, she developed hatred in her heart to the point where she contemplated on hiring someone to commit a crime for her. The pressure of life had gotten so hard until the author had suicidal thoughts of self-harming and of killing herself. When the pressure of life seems to weigh you down, just look unto God who undoubtedly will bring you out. Please know there is victory in the midst of all your trials and tribulations, and you don't have to travel your journey alone. There is light at the end of the tunnel There is peace in the valley The author would like to invite you to try Jesus. Jesus is the answer to every situation
