Book Reviewed: Big Agenda: President Trump’s Plan to Save America, by David Horowitz

Muslims would have prevailed in America if Trump did not win

The author is the founder of the David Horowitz Freedom Center, and an aggressive conservative strategist. In this book he narrates how Donald Trump won the election. Trump posted a moral victory over the Republican Party that failed to fight the destructive agenda of the left that threatened America’s future. The progressive movement divided society into two groups; the oppressive white males, Christians and heterosexuals, and oppressed groups like African Americans, Muslims and illegal immigrants.

While addressing a possible presidential run at the Iowa Freedom Summit, Trump criticized Mitt Romney and Jeb Bush as potential 2016 presidential candidates. At that time no one but Iowans knew that Donald Trump is the man who will defend liberty and freedom from liberals, encroaching Sharia and Muslim dominance. Conservatives were justifiably worried that America’s decline was reaching a point of no return, and it is time that they had to do something, says author David Horowitz.

The book concludes with a battle plan for the first 100 days of Trump administration that includes restoring Guantanamo Prison, defunding sanctuary cities, promoting energy independence, nixing illegal immigration amnesty, attacking IRS malfeasance, and dismantling the failed Obamacare.

Movie Reviewed: Imitation of Life (1934) starring Claudette Colbert

The lives of two women

This Fanny Hurst’s tear-jerker didn’t disappoint the audience living through the travails of others. Skirting around the socioeconomics of the 1934 culture such as racism and two single mothers venturing into business, William Hurlbut’s screenplay recreated the story of Bea Pullman based on the novel by Fannie Hurst.. This is a story of a determined young widow with a little girl. The inspiration behind the story is about a black maid, Aunt Delilah also with a young daughter who moves in with them and the two mothers start a successful pancake flour corporation. But beneath this glitzy enterprise, lies the travails of being mothers of two daughters, living their personal lives. Added to this is that Aunt Delilah’s daughter is fair-skinned and likes to lead her life as “white girl” away from her mother. It is sad saga of how divided a family becomes to follow the rules of the society. The story is portrayed with a great deal of restraint in contrast to the same title produced in 1959 starring Lana Turner. Claudette Colbert offers a tremendous performance with splendid execution by Louise Beavers as Aunt Delilah. Imitation of Life was nominated for the Academy Award in the Best Picture category. Highly recommended.
