Showing titles in Corruption & Misconduct

Special-interest money is destroying our democratic process. But now that the Citizens United decision has thrown out campaign spending limits as abridgments of free speech, Americans want to know what they can do about it. Derek Cressman gives us the tools, both intellectual and tactical, to fight back. There's nothing inherently unconstitutional in limiting the amount of speech, Cressman insists.

In Sold Out, Michelle Malkin and John Miano reveal the worst perpetrators screwing America's high-skilled workers, how and why they're doing it - and what we must do to stop them. In this audiobook, they will name names and expose the lies of those who pretend to champion the middle class while aiding and abetting massive layoffs of highly skilled American workers in favor of cheap foreign labor.

For two centuries, the Framers' ideas about political corruption flourished in the courts, even in the absence of clear rules governing voters, civil officers, and elected officials. In the 1970s, the U.S. Supreme Court began to narrow the definition of corruption, and the meaning has since changed dramatically. No case makes that clearer than Citizens United.

From the Tea Party to Occupy Wall Street, however divergentt heir political views, these groups seem united by one thing: outrage over a system of power and influence that they feel has stolen their livelihoods and liberties. Increasingly, protesters on both ends of the political spectrum and the media are using the word corrupt to describe an elusory system of power that has shed any accountability to those it was meant to help and govern. But what does corruption and unaccountability mean in today's world?

Este es un libro lleno de rabia y amor perro por el México maltrecho que debemos rescatar. Es una crónica del hartazgo, del enojo con la cleptocracia que se rota en el poder, con los privilegios inmerecidos de los cómodamente apoltronados en la punta de la pirámide. Un país atorado en la desesperanza, en el desamparo, sofocado por la corrupción, amenazado por la violencia, sin soluciones fáciles.

Ob es um die dubiosen Geschäftspraktiken von internationalen Spitzenklubs wie dem FC Barcelona, Manchester City oder Paris Saint-Germain geht, um die Ausbeutung von Jugendspielern oder die Vertuschung von Straftaten: Die Gier im Fußball kennt kaum noch Grenzen. Die SPIEGEL-Journalisten Rafael Buschmann und Michael Wulzinger geben neue, exklusive Einblicke in die zunehmend mafiösen Strukturen im Spitzenfußball und erzählen dabei auch die Geschichte des Mannes, der durch seinen Mut die spektakulären Enthüllungen erst möglich gemacht hat - und dafür nun im Gefängnis sitzt.

Das Desaster der Deutschen Bahn ist kein Versehen. Es gibt Täter. Sie sitzen in Berlin. In der Bundesregierung, im Bundestag. Und seit Jahren im Tower der Deutschen Bahn. Kritik an der Deutschen Bahn bleibt oft stehen bei lustigen Englischfehlern, falschen Wagenreihungen oder ausfallenden Klimaanlagen. Doch die Malaise liegt im System: Seit der Bahnreform im Jahr 1994, nach der die Bahn an die Börse sollte, handeln die Bahn-Verantwortlichen, als wollten sie die Menschen zum Autofahrer erziehen. Arno Luik, einer der profiliertesten Bahn-Kritiker, öffnet uns mit seinem Buch die Augen.

In the 2018 best seller The Case Against Impeaching Trump, Alan Dershowitz lamented how American political discourse has devolved into hypocrisy and the criminalization of political differences. Arguments to impeach Trump failed Dershowitz’s “shoe on the other foot test”, or his political golden rule: Democrats must do unto Republicans what they would have Republicans do unto them, and vice versa. Since then, we’ve only become more divided. The Case Against the Democratic House Impeaching Trump includes and expands upon Dershowitz’s 2018 book.

Elizabeth Holtzman has been a principled leader and a persistent voice for equality and accountability since she became the youngest woman ever elected to Congress in 1973, which she remained for 42 years. The Case for Impeaching Trump establishes the requirements for impeachment as set out by the Constitution and proves that President Trump’s actions have already met those requirements. Holtzman makes the definitive, constitutional case that Trump can be impeached - and the process should start now.

The Deep State isn't finished trying to destroy President Donald Trump - they've only just begun. Coup d'Etat blows the lid off the Deep State's efforts to prevent the Trump presidency, disrupt his agenda, and prevent his reelection.

When Attorney General Jeff Sessions resigned in November 2018, two years after Donald Trump's surprise electoral victory, a political outsider named Matthew Whitaker became Acting Attorney General of the United States. Now Whitaker shares the shocking truth that he discovered when he temporarily became head of the Justice Department: that so-called public servants, the people charged with upholding our nation's founding principle of "equal justice under law", have abandoned that principle in order to advance a vicious partisan vendetta against President Trump.

America Is Better Than This tells the inside story of how one senator, with no background as an immigration activist, became a leading advocate for reform of the brutal policies that have created a humanitarian crisis on the southern US border.

Drawing from the intriguing (and sometimes unbelievable) true stories of the lives of everyday Americans, historian Julie M. Fenster traces the history of the weakening of our national ethics through the practice of cheating. From marital infidelity to financial fraud; rigged sports competitions to corruption in politics and the American education system; nuclear weaponry to beauty pageants; hospitals, TV game shows, and charities; nothing and no one is exempt.

Known in health care circles for his ability to fix ailing hospitals, Dr. David Shulkin was originally brought into government by President Obama, in an attempt to save the broken Department of Veterans Affairs. When President Trump made him VA secretary, Dr. Shulkin was as shocked as anyone. Yet this surprise was trivial compared to what Shulkin encountered as the VA secretary: a team of political appointees devoted to stopping anyone - including the secretary himself - who stood in the way of privatizing the organization and implementing their agenda.
