This first, and some would say greatest, poet of the English language stands before the gateway of the early modern age. He lived at a time when the elite languages of former conquerors, French and Latin, were both giving way to English - no longer just the vernacular of the common people, but increasingly the language of the court, the law, and of literature. Richard West weaves a fascinating picture of this extraordinary man, whose character has puzzled lovers of his comic masterpiece, "The Canterbury Tales". How did he remain so apparently cheerful and serene, through one of the cruellest eras of history? As a child he survived the Black Death, later he fought in France during the Hundred Years War, served as a diplomat in Italy, and became an MP at the angry beginnings of the Protestant Reformation, the Peasants' Revolt and the overthrow of Richard II.

"Liberals used to be funny.... They had a claim on cool. Then something happened," wrote Tucker Carlson in 2003. As the number one host on Fox News, Carlson regularly exposes the failings of the modern left, and he does so with humor, wit, and energy.But Carlson's rise to the top at Fox only came after Bill O'Reilly's sudden departure due to allegations of sexual harassment - allegations that O'Reilly has consistently denied. Leftwing critics hoped the departure of O'Reilly would torpedo Fox News, but the network's transition to Carlson did nothing to lower its ratings.This pamphlet explains how Bill O'Reilly's career at Fox ended and contrasts the working-class, on-the-ground style of O'Reilly with the class and subtlety of Tucker Carlson. Both conservative hosts are in touch with the common-sense principles of the modern conservative movement, but they come from very different places.Find out how allegations of sexual harassment from 2004 were recycled in 2017 to end O'Reilly's career, what Tucker Carlson thought of O'Reilly, and how Carlson began his career.

Shortly after launching her RedPillBlack YouTube channel in July 2017, Candace Owens became one of America's most prominent conservative voices and a favorite target of the left. Donald Trump and Kanye West expressed their admiration for Owens, while prominent conservatives like Charlie Kirk and Dennis Prager brought her into their organizations. Owens launched the Blexit movement to encourage black voters to leave the Democrat plantation. Today, the mainstream media calls her a white nationalist, even though she is the black granddaughter of a Southern sharecropper. Some conservatives, on the other hand, believe she will one day be President. In this biography, Richard West provides Candace Owens' life story, showing how she evolved from a victim-mentality liberal to a victor-mentality conservative. She went from being "a girl who started with nothing" to a true American success.
