Review: 107 Days

107 Days by Kamala Harris
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

How can a person successfully run for President in 107 days when most campaigns are at least two years? The book gives a detailed description of the challenges of running a campaign and the personal costs. Topics discussed include: domestic and foreign policy, political communication, campaign finance, racism, sexism, and the unresolved political issues of America. The book discusses the mistakes and the disinformation faced by the candidate. It is a good book to read for understanding current American politics and culture.

Review: Campus Battlefield: How Conservatives Can WIN the Battle on Campus and Why It Matters

Campus Battlefield: How Conservatives Can WIN the Battle on Campus and Why It Matters by Charlie Kirk
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Written as a challenge to the college academic environment regarding true acceptance of the exchange of ideas without limitations. Topics reviewed include free speech, academic freedom, cultural diversity, classical western education, and political correctness. The book's arguments weaken at times when personal attacks on different ideological values are done. The limitation of the author not completing an undergraduate degree or thoughtful critiques on a university's published core curriculum reveals a limited perspective and a political motivation to attack the "liberals" who are "placing western civilization at risk."
