The Last Jeffersonian: Grover Cleveland and the Path to Restoring the Republic

America is in danger of losing the constitutional republic created by the Founding Fathers. Since the beginning of the progressive era, the federal government has steadily encroached on the rights of the states and the people. Yet today, we are inundated with politicians of both parties who seek new ideas and innovative ways to make government work, rather than solutions for preserving our political heritage. To restore our republic, we need to look to the past, to the political fathers of old who made the nation the best and brightest on earth. Grover Cleveland was the last of those fathers. As a mayor, governor, and president, Cleveland dealt with many of the same troubles we face today-the public character and behavior of our candidates, the role of government in the everyday lives of the people, the burden of taxation, the distribution of wealth, government involvement in an economic depression, monetary policy, and complex foreign affairs. By studying Cleveland's policies and ideals, we can relearn those forgotten lessons of ancient times and restore the American republic.

"Presidents are ranked wrong. In&nbsp;The Jazz Age President: Defending Warren G. Harding, Ryan Walters mounts a case that Harding deserves to move up--and supplies the evidence to make that case strong. -Amity Shlaes, bestselling author of&nbsp;Coolidge He's the butt of political jokes, frequently subjected to ridicule, and almost never absent a "Worst Presidents" list where he most often ends up at the bottom. Historians have labeled him the "Worst President Ever," "Dead Last," "Unfit," and "Incompetent," to name but a few. Many contemporaries were equally cruel. H. L. Mencken called him a "nitwit." To Alice Roosevelt Longworth, he was a "slob." Such is the current reputation of our 29th President, Warren Gamaliel Harding. In an interesting survey in 1982, which divided the scholarly respondents into "conservative" and "liberal" categories,&nbsp;both&nbsp;groups picked Harding as the worst President. But historian Ryan Walters shows that Harding, a humble man from Marion, Ohio, has been unfairly remembered.&nbsp;He quickly fixed an economy in depression and started the&nbsp;boom of the Roaring Twenties, healed a nation in the throes of social disruption, and reversed&nbsp;America's interventionist foreign policy.

Product Description 
On January 27, 1967, astronauts Gus Grissom, Ed White, and Roger Chaffee climbed into a new spacecraft perched atop a large Saturn rocket at Kennedy Space Center in Florida for a routine dress rehearsal of their upcoming launch into orbit, then less than a month away. All three astronauts were experienced pilots and had dreams of one day walking on the moon. But little did they know, nor did anyone else, that once they entered the spacecraft that cold winter day they would never leave it alive. The Apollo program would be perilously close to failure before it ever got off the ground.\nBut rather than dooming the space program, this tragedy caused the spacecraft to be completely overhauled, creating a stellar flying machine to achieve the program’s primary goal: putting man on the moon.\nApollo 1 is a candid portrayal of the astronauts, the disaster that killed them, and its aftermath. In it, readers will learn:\nHow the Apollo 1 spacecraft was doomed from the start, with miles of uninsulated wiring and tons of flammable materials in a pure oxygen atmosphere, along with a hatch that wouldn’t open 
How, due to political pressure, the government contract to build the Apollo 1 craft went to a bidder with an inferior plan 
How public opinion polls were beginning to turn against the space program before the tragedy and got much worse after\nApollo 1 is about America fulfilling its destiny of man setting foot on the moon. It’s also about the three American heroes who lost their lives in the tragedy, but whose lives were not lost in vain.

Apollo 1: The Tragedy That Put Us on the Moon

Harding: The Jazz Age President (The Presidents)

AMERICA WAS BORN OUT OF A REVOLUTION, the ideals of which became the foundation of conservatism: limited government, decentralization, states' rights, low taxes, no debt, economy and accountability in government, non-interventionist foreign policy, and a strict construction of the Constitution, principles that were best espoused by Thomas Jefferson. Until Lincoln's election in 1860, America was a Jeffersonian Republic. But after Lincoln's counter-revolution, which remade the Union, Jeffersonian political thought fell by the wayside. Yet in the 1880s and 1890s it made a brief comeback with Grover Cleveland, who tried to return the country to the Age of Jefferson. Yet Grover Cleveland would be the last of these Jeffersonian political fathers and the last president to uphold these traditional American values. As a mayor, governor, and president, he remained steadfast and committed to upholding Jeffersonian ideals at all costs. The issues he faced as a public servant are relevant to the present day: public character and behavior of our candidates, the role of government in the everyday lives of the people, the burden of taxation, the distribution of wealth, government involvement in an economic depression, monetary policy, and complex foreign affairs. By studying Cleveland's policies and ideals, we can relearn those forgotten lessons of ancient times and restore the American republic of republics.
