Books I'm reading or have read recently Thoughts and comments on books I'm reading or have read recently

Just got done reading Bill O'Reilly's book 'Killing the Mob', and what a book it was, first book I've read from cover to cover in over a decade.
The reason why I'm turning to books again is cause it's getting harder and harder to find unbias information online, everything you read online seems to be altered, filtered, to fit a persons narrative or view of the world, and of course this includes history.
History is very ugly, that's one thing I'm realizing, but many truths about that ugly history seem to have been scrubbed online by google or other search engines.
The early days of the internet were not like that at all, is why many have laid down books in favor of quick reading online, but over the last 6 years or earlier, just seems more and more stuff online is either being scrubbed or altered...or just deleted all together and looked at as being to mean by the tech people who control how information flows.
I mean Donald Trump, like him or not, is history, living history, yet the former President not allowed on any major social media site, how sick is that?..that's tech censorship, to deny an elected President the ability to speak, and to even try to censor him when he was still in office, again how sick is that?
As such I've turned back to books to get more real raw information about, well, you name it, be it history or science or bibliography's.
When people write books they can and are way more honest than posting online, cause books aren't really rated, either you like it or you don't, either you buy it or you don't.
So with that being said, anytime I read a few pages of any particular book, I'll be turning here or elsewhere to lay down some thoughts about whatever book I'm reading.
I have a Ann Coulter book to finish, and a 'Cult of Glory' book to finish, about the early brutal days of the Texas Rangers, and I have a book by John Beuhner?, the former speaker of the house, to finish, one thing I'm learning for sure is that history is violent and bloody, and that politics has never been clean.

This book is about the history of the Texas Rangers, but while the Author tells their story, he also includes many other brutal details about society back then, and the Rangers themselves who were, in their beginnings, just as, if not more blood thirsty than the Taliban, or ISIS. This book is shocking, and based on real life events, journals, biographies, registered city documents, reports of the day and more. It's down right shameful what took place back then, meaning the around 1850 till around the 1950's, meaning if one was considered black or native American or Mexican, it was a social bloodbath back then, and not sure how any one of color can say those were 'great days', cause they were not, not for human rights anyways. Sure a lot of inventions, technology, and other 'modern' stuff arose, but those men who pioneered much of that stuff were not being hunted down do to their color or other accusations against them, and they were allowed to train, educate selves at the best institutions, and many came from wealth. I like my place in my birth nation, which is America, but I can't say that I like the early history of this nation, I suppose if pure 'white', one can look back with pride at all those killed, driven from their lands, lynched, properties destroyed and burned by 'white mobs', so that current whites could thrive. I guess, I don't know, sure now from say 1970 on ward a lot has changed, and corporations and greed have taken over, and now everyone fights to get here, but it wasn't always like that, America has a very bloody past and this book really highlights that.

Finally finished reading this book, it was one of those 'bathroom books', but after many trips to the bathroom over the months, I finally finished this book, one of maybe 3-5 books I may have read in my entire adult life, from cover to cover. The other most recent book I've read from cover to cover was Bill O'Reily's 'Killing the mob' book. That aside, this 'Cult of Glory' book, about the history of the Texas Rangers really took me on a historical journey. This book though, unlike other Texas Ranger books, dared to, I want say criticize the Rangers, but put forth information about them that may have been buried in other Ranger books, TV shows and movies, and let you the reader make up your own mind. But I guess like any other Government institution of the U.S., agencies are simply a reflection of the times, good or bad. If racism was abound in the past, than why wouldn't the Rangers be apart of that?, just like any other Gov agency back then. And as society evolved, so did the Rangers, I mean like most Law agency's, now they have to respect citizens rights, and can't just physically abuse whomever they dern feel like it, or maim or even kill, like the Rangers of old did. No doubt about it, life was brutal in the past, if not 'white' in America, very brutal, and this book makes no attempt to hide that fact. ------------------------------- Well I'm done with this book now and kind of need, want, another book to buy, I need another bathroom book. Bought a Ann Coulter book, but just did not interest me, to political, guess I could finish reading the John Boehner book, the former GOP speaker of the house, it's a pretty decent book.

The Great Reset - Glenn Beck Not sure if this book is out yet, but from what I hear it's a must read for those who want to see what's really going out with Governments around the world, and who controls them (Banks), and some of the social control stuff heading down the pike. I use to not like Glenn Beck, but he's matured over the years, and like Bill O'Reilly, regardless what you think of their shows or politics, they're both good Authors. Or hear more about 'The great reset', from Glenn Himself.

How I become the most hated activist, buy Ara Moses click to enlarge. Just ordered 2 copies of this book. You can find the artist on twitter and other places online. They have a compelling story to tell, in that they were on both sides of the protests during the 2020 riots. This should be a good read, can buy on Amazon, ect.
