The problem with expertise—and the dark side of the equation “knowledge = power.” Experts are not infallible. Treating them as such has done us all a grave disservice and, as The Weaponization of Expertise makes painfully clear, given rise to the very populism that all-knowing experts and their elite coterie decry. Jacob Hale Russell and Dennis Patterson use the devastating example of the COVID-19 pandemic to illustrate their case, revealing how the hubris of all-too-human experts undermined—perhaps irreparably—public faith in elite policymaking. Paradoxically, by turning science into dogmatism, the overweening elite response has also proved deeply corrosive to expertise itself—i...
Our institutions have gone "woke." Everybody knows that. But nobody has come up with a way to stop it. Until now. In this hard-hitting new book, Senator Ted Cruz delivers a realistic battle plan for defeating the woke assault on America. The Democratic Party is now controlled by Cultural Marxists. So are our universities and public schools, the media, Big Tech, and Big Business. Corporations push transgenderism down their customers' throats. Banks punish gun shops. Hollywood insults our religious beliefs and grooms our children. The big investment companies use our retirement savings to promote leftist causes. And the Biden administration has turned our military into an indoctrination camp, ...

Rights: Theory and Practice dissects the evolution of human rights from revolutionary ideals to the messy reality of their implementation in France, Britain, and America.

A key focus is on how definitions of citizenship evolved, determining who was included or, more critically, excluded based on factors like race, gender, and class...

Social media has traversed far greater heights than simply being a medium for user-generated content. Today, it’s a tool for consumer empowerment (we all witness big conglomerates being brought to their knees by that one dissatisfied tweet or widely shared post) and a gratifying brand-consumer partnership. Even companies that have long been dismissing social media as frivolous and flippant have started taking note of its benefits. They’ve realized that social media is not limited to games and light-hearted opinion polls (which are also hugely successful in creating affable brands), but can involve more serious discussions and insights that are invaluable when it comes to building strong ...
Kira Davis has built a brand on reaching out to the other side, on giving people space to be wrong, the space to discuss, the space to tolerate. I sincerely believe there are many reasonable people in America from all ideologies who are still willing to talk with each other, people who are quite happy to live and let live.Unfortunately, none of those people are controlling the conversations right now. Trump's presidency has burned away the niceties that tenuously held our political ecosystem together. We've had a front-row seat to the strategy of the Left. We're seeing the lengths they will go to and the lies they let stand in service of crushing 50 percent of this nation.The onslaught of dishonesty has been relentless. The progressive left isn't happy to just let us live with our own values, our own media, our own cultural verticals. They seek to completely destroy ideological and financial competition. They seek unity through complete elimination of the other side. There are times for compromise and times to draw a line in the sand, and friends, the latter has arrived. It is time to draw our lines as Christians and Conservatives.
Mohamad examines the day-to-day experience of virtual and non-tangible mobilities of young Bruneian Malay Muslim and Malaysians, as enabled by popular culture and digital media. Cosmopolitanism has garnered interest from sociology, political studies, religious studies, geography, and education scholars.

Secondly, existing research overlooks Southeast Asia, especially Brunei Darussalam. Thirdly, the focus has not sufficiently engaged with popular culture and new media. This book addresses these gaps by exploring the everyday li...
