Trump, Jr. writes about the importance of fighting back and standing up for what you believe in.

Story
Al Franken, Giant of the Senate is a book about an unlikely campaign that had an even more improbable ending: the closest outcome in history and an unprecedented eight-month recount saga, which is pretty funny in retrospect. It's a book about what happens when the nation's foremost progressive satirist gets a chance to serve in the United States Senate and, defying the low expectations of the pundit class, actually turns out to be good at it.

In this thrilling narrative, O’Reilly blends primary, never-before-released interview material with a history that recounts Trump’s childhood and family and the factors from his life and career that forged the worldview that the president of the United States has taken to the White House. Not a partisan pro-Trump or anti-Trump book, this is an up-to-the-minute, intimate view of the man and his sphere of influence.

Story
This riveting narrative explores the lives of six remarkable female pharaohs, from Hatshepsut to Cleopatra - women who ruled with real power - and shines a piercing light on our own perceptions of women in power today. Female rulers are a rare phenomenon - but thousands of years ago in ancient Egypt, women reigned supreme. But throughout human history, women in positions of power were more often used as political pawns in a male-dominated society. What was so special about ancient Egypt that provided women this kind of access to the highest political office?

The Presidents Club was born at Eisenhower’s inauguration when Harry Truman and Herbert Hoover first conceived the idea. Over the years that followed - and to this day - the presidents relied on, misunderstood, sabotaged, and formed alliances with one another that changed history. The world’s most exclusive fraternity is a complicated place: its members are bound forever because they sat in the Oval Office and know its secrets, yet they are immortal rivals for history’s favor.

Ignore the haters, this is delightful
Alexis Coe and Elliot Kalan combine humor, trivia and solid journalism to put human faces on men a lot of us know only from history books, if at all. I don’t understand what some of the other reviewers are triggered by. These podcasts aren’t trying to be learned history lessons or comprehensive overviews of each president’s life and administration. They’re simply 28 minutes of light history complemented by interesting interviews. I particularly liked the way they approached Washington and his slaves. In short (I know, too late), I loved the entire series and am on my second listen. Anyone who can make Chester A. Arthur interesting is worth a listen.

I need the rest!
I'm so hoping this series continues and covers more presidents. It's charming and fun, respectful when appropriate but not afraid to poke fun at the ridiculousness at some of our past leaders. I particularly like the episodes about some of the more obscure figures, like Calvin Coolidge, which make largely forgotten men seem fresh and interesting.

Some interesting tidbits among the garbage
The concept is interesting: share some human characteristics and stories about our presidents. There is some information that is entertaining. However, there is a clear leftist bias to the subject matter chosen that has to be taken into account. In addition, every episode seems to have a lame "humor" bit that is nearly intolerable. It is unnecessary and a bit cringey. If you have an outlook similar to the hosts, you will enjoy these episodes. Otherwise, you will need some patience and tolerance to hang in there and glean the interesting information from the garbage.
