Blessed Thanksgiving
Blessed Thanksgiving is a collection of chatty rhyming poems that advance by charming meter, winsome humor, and persuasive candor. Its timeless truths are the criteria of the 1620/1789 New World order reset, which are expounded to quell the seditious ripples emanating from the current socialist riptide through the amber waves of American life and destiny. Topics indulge Judeo-Christian light and liberties that spread since the unique prominence of church and state under God was envisioned by the founding fathers to be separately respected with mutual benefit to the nation. They boldly celebrate the salutary manner of love in faith- practice and patriotism that prove necessary and sufficient ...

Love and the Fighting Female
The fighting female archetype--a self-reliant woman of great physical prowess--has become increasingly common in action films and on television. However, the progressive female identities of these narratives cannot always resist the persistent and problematic framing of male-female relationships as a battle of the sexes or other source of antagonism. Combining cultural analysis with close readings of key popular American film and television texts since the 1980s, this study argues that certain fighting female themes question regressive conventions in male-female relationships. Those themes reveal potentially progressive ideologies regarding female agency in mass culture that reassure audiences of the desirability of empowered women while also imagining egalitarian intimacies that further empower women. Overall, the fighting female narratives addressed here afford contradictory viewing pleasures that reveal both new expectations for and remaining anxieties about the "strong, independent woman" ideal that emerged in American popular culture post-feminism.
