Who are you Heroes in today's Book?
Donald J Trump
Rudy Giuliani
Sheriff David Clarke
Dallas Police Chief David Brown
Dennis Michael Lynch probably the most honest reporter I’ve seen so far.
And this guy is definitely working his way up to an honorable mention for calling out BLM while they ignore the Baton Rouge flood victims.
ONYX you are too kind, beautiful one!
Many of us just help in small ways the great job done by the core workers. Isn’t that always true?
Thanks for the supportive words, I am sure from all of us.
My mind is all over the place with thoughts of great heroes past and present.
So far I come back to OUR MILITARY AND VETERANS for their protection of our country.
When I stand in Washington at the monuments and at Arlington I am in awe at their sacrifice for ME!
Can you recommend a good book about Eliza Hamilton?
Thank you for asking. :)
There’s not actually a full length bio of Eliza, at least anything recent or of any acclaim or with any literary value.
I know about Eliza through Ron Chernow’s magnificent (but lengthy!) bio of Alexander. He even begins the book with the very old Eliza as she approached the end of her life. She is naturally sprinkled throughout the entire book, and you can learn much of her, and her sterling character, her goodness, and of course her amazing family. Chernow’s book is a masterpiece, a national treasure.
Then there is the more recent broadway musical Hamilton which is really a highly condensed version of Chernow’s book. You can get the libretto with lots of articles/photos as a separate book. It is by Lin-Manual Miranda. (I understand that there are many here and at other conservative websites who intensely dislike the musical. I won’t get into that here....I merely note that it is an incredible resource for Eliza). To get the full emotional impact of Eliza’s life via Hamilton the musical, the best thing to do is listen to it on spotify from start to finish.
I suspect that after the final number you will be speechless, shell-shocked and simply in awe of this amazing, Godly, capable, beautiful, generous, kind, faithful, loving woman. Her life, work and memory should be celebrated by anyone who loves God and country. She’s amazing.
I hope you enjoy getting to know Eliza!
Thank you so much!!
Sneaking a little bump here in the back of the room!
Running to the BUMP button!
We all have the ability to kick in at least a few bucks toward the CAUSE!
LET’S GO FREEPERS!
WE CAN DO IT!!!
