Blooms of Oleander


Book Description

Blooms of Oleander is a collection of poems and one emotional short story that have had a dramatic impact on the author. Tales of loves lost and found as well as lessons learned along the way are included on each page in excruciating and inspirational detail. As noted throughout the work, what the heart wants can often be hazardous to one's health mentally, physically and spiritually.The scars of those experiences stay with us long after the infatuation of the moment has passed. Love has no middle ground. Romance teaches us that we emote in extremes. What once was adored can be loathed in an instance. Expectations and ideals are often unreasonable. The imperfections of those we place on pedestals eventually become evident. More times than not, those personal blemishes become guideposts to something or someone else better suited for our love and lives. Being in love with love can be a dangerous undertaking. Loving the ideal of someone rather their authentic self is the road to lasting heartache. Blessed with the gift of hindsight, I count all of those disappointments as gain. I am grateful to have lived long enough to tell the tale. These are my stories. At times, the pain of it all capsized my vessel on the sea of life. Rather than drown in my own despair, I kicked against the waves of misery and swam for shore. A native of Mississippi, Steve Robertson has worked as a professional writer since 1997. Blooms of Oleander is his fourth book and first in the poetry genre. His previous works Flim Flam, Stark Villains and Alpha Dawgs have all been mainstays on the Mississippi best seller's list for the past few years. Robertson and his family live in Starkville, Mississippi where he covers Mississippi State sports on a full-time basis.

Experience Matters: (Here's Mine)


Book Description

You've heard, "Experience is the best teacher" - but the saying doesn't end there. We often forget the important conclusion: "...especially when it's someone else's experience."

When we learn from the experiences of others, we can save those years and make the right decisions when they count. Who has the experience you should learn from?

Each chapter includes movie dialogue, because films that depict life experiences can be some of our best teachers. Are you ready to get experienced? Ed's life is full of lessons, and he's ready to share them with you. Ed Hoffman has 30+ years of real estate investing and mortgage experience, and more than a decade as a conservative commentator.

Intended Consequences


Book Description

During the Viet Nam War the use of Agent Orange, riot control agents and other herbicides greatly affected public opinion regarding the use of biological weapons. In 1969 President Richard M. Nixon ordered an end to the U.S. biological research program and directed all biological weapons be destroyed. Not destroyed were several strains of Coronavirus which had not been weaponized. Research on these viruses was continued until 2019, when the CDC shut down the research at Fort Detrick, Maryland. By then the U.S. viral technology had already been transferred to the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China, along with 3.6 million dollars to fund additional research. The Chinese were in control of the Coronavirus samples and research technology before 2019. In the early 21st Century technology changed the way people communicated and were given their news. Corporations, referred to as "Big Tech," were in control of what people were told and what was kept from them. Their power was exercised in the 2020 Presidential election. FBI Special Agent Douglas Gregory finds himself cast into positions where he has access to intelligence concerning the cause of the Covid-19 pandemic, reasons for the 2020 election results and the lockdown of Washington, DC after the election. Information he learns gives the reader reason to question the Government and Media explanations of these events. What we learn is the cause and effect of controlled events can result in Intended Consequences. Charles D. George, is a graduate of The Ohio State University and the Air War College. He is a former Special Agent of the FBI, was associated with the Intelligence Community for twenty two years, is a retired U.S. Air Force Director of Intelligence and is a practicing lawyer.




Divide & Conquer


Book Description

"That's racist!" No statement in the twenty-first century triggers such a raw, polarizing, impassioned response as that short accusation. Racism is finding itself being applied to almost everything these days - politics, statues, history, graduations, books, movies, even math. Its role is no longer to describe oppression or genuine injustices in the world, but rather to promote and glamourize a political campaign, social movement, or fundraising effort in its name. In Divide & Conquer, author Jay Buenger analyzes the use of the political left's oldest and most trusted weapon - racism. He also dissects a number of other tools, from cancel culture, to government mandates, to propaganda, to mere feelings, that progressives and Washington elites are using to achieve their ultimate goal: power through division. Through the eyes of a long-time educator, Buenger warns of the true intentions of these weapons, and the effectiveness their use is having on our society - particularly on our minority communities and next generations. A cabal comprised of Democratic office holders, mainstream media, and the world of big tech are implementing a coordinated campaign to promote chaos and division, opening the door for excessive government reach and a one-way route to socialism. Divide & Conquer serves as a cautionary tale of the imminent dissolution our Republic faces if awareness and patriotism do not prevail. Jay Buenger was born and raised in the rural Texas town of Industry, TX - population 304. The son of a lifelong elementary teacher and country veterinarian, he developed the God-fearing, conservative values that he carries with him to this day. A love for sports and shaping America's youth led him into a career in teaching and coaching, a profession he has enjoyed for almost twenty years. Buenger currently resides just outside Brenham, TX with his beautiful wife, Elizabeth - also an educator of more than two decades. Along with a passion for writing, the two enjoy world-wide travel, cooking, and spending time outdoors in the tranquil Texas countryside. Jay is proud and excited to unveil Divide & Conquer, his debut publication.

The Gated Community


Book Description

Fear, fun and friendship are some of what you encounter in prison. There are women of different ages, backgrounds, races, religions, politics. The biggest problems are Government rules and regulations that run these establishments. Apathy and neglect bottled with ignorance and self promotion....and that's not the inmates! Gloria was 72 when she went to Carswell Federal Prison for Women. She quickly learned that it's not what you see in movies. You spend the next 4 to 5 years, 24/7/365 with these women. You laugh, cry, like and hate them. She decided to write a book about the experiences and hopefully call attention to a need for prison reform as well as to share some fun and not so fun happenings in prison. It is a totally enlightening life that a majority of people don't have a clue about. It is not an experience for the faint of heart, and she doesn't recommend it to anyone! She wanted answers to questions like: Why can't felons vote? Gloria thought it is something that people should know about and understand what we Americans have created or allowed to be created. That probably has a lot to do with all of the things that are wrong with the system and society, and also the things that are right. Gloria was born in Dallas to an upper middle class Jewish American family. Families ate dinner together, schools were segregated, and coke was a drink. She went to the University of Texas. She has a son, daughter-in-law and granddaughter in LA, 2 siblings, a stepdaughter and son-in-law and stepson, daughter-in-law and granddaughter in Dallas. She owned an event planning company, was on Good Morning, Texas, was written up in a magazine. That was all before she became Chief Administrative Officer for a company created by a client that led her to a "wire fraud conspiracy" conviction. 4 1/2 years in prison taught Gloria more than she anticipated and led to her determination to help women in prison get a second chance.
