Where's the Minestrone? an Italian American Explores Italy

By: Peter Carusone

Minestrone is a chance to see Italy for the first time through the eyes of an Italian American who thought he knew what it meant to be 'Italian.' You will see the beauty of this wonderful country and feel the warmth of its people. But you also will be amazed and even shocked by the many surprises awaiting your first encounters with the food, the Italian bathroom, the bus ticket Gestapo, the housing, shopping, driving and parking, Italian laundry, the labor strikes and a 'fortress mentality' that manifests itself in a profusion of walls, gates, guard dogs and convoluted security devices. Do you know how hard it is to find minestrone soup in Italy? Or pepperoni pizza? Did you know that Italian American food is actually more authentic than Italian food? It's true! Where's the Minestrone is a fun and family narrative replete with sentimentality, cross-cultural comparisons and outrageous humor.

The Manipulators

Facebook, Google, Twitter, and Big Tech's War on Conservatives

By: Peter J. Hasson

The dawn of the digital age was supposed to be a new era, when everybody would have a voice and battle it out in the marketplace of ideas—intellectual democracy at the touch of a keyboard. Social media offered a way for conservatives to outflank the leftist groupthink that dominated academia, the media, and the political establishment. But, as investigative reporter Peter J. Hasson shows in his explosive new book, The Manipulators, that's no longer the case. Instead, Big Tech companies have become enforcers of intellectual conformity: promoting leftist ideas, punishing dissent, and dictating politically correct opinions. Big Tech's grip on the levers of information seems unbreakable. Hasson, working with sources deep inside the tech giants, presents a chilling account of companies that relish their coercive power—and aren't shy about using it. In The Manipulators, you'll learn: - How tech companies skew search results and "fact-checks" in favor of left-wing ideas and liberal news sources - How Google employees organize anti-Trump "Resistance" on company time and with company resources - How Facebook gives special privileges to liberal publications - How Big Tech employees collude with liberal journalists and left-wing activists to dictate who can—and can't—have a voice online - How Twitter, which once touted itself as "the free speech wing of the free speech party," reinvented itself as a liberal news company - How pro-abortion extremists work with Big Tech to shut down pro-life speech online Big Tech has become the greatest threat to free speech and free thought in America. But Big Tech is not invincible. It is still vulnerable to conservative and consumer pressure—though not for long, if Democrats have their way. Peter Hasson provides a frightening look at the concentrated power of Big Tech, its extraordinary intellectual intolerance, and its determination to silence competing voices and even dictate our thoughts. The Manipulators is a warning about rampant political censorship that will only get worse unless Big Tech meets big opposition.

Slapdash

A Poorly Written Novel

By: Peter Anthony

Slapdash is a story of a life that wasn't. Set against the backdrop of an international competition for sumpremacy in medicine prowess, the oft-distracted narrator chronicles the star-crossed paths of the national celebrity who is about to become the oldest living person in history and the young, apathetic accountant who convinces the old man to abandon his death wish. In the end, however, everyone dies. But not before remarkable changes take place in personal perspective and relationships thanks to a love interest, a power outage, two simultaneous mental breakdowns, and a chance meeting of Jesus in prison. Throw in an impeccably polite Chinese assassin, an incognito Montana militiaman, the commander of the Joe McCarthy Governmental Complex, and one tray of poached fish and the stage is set for a remarkable 150th birthday gala with ensuing pandemonium. Yet the pandemonium can be observed long before the first shot is fired through both the characters' and narraotr's wrestling with topics including life, death, boredom, relationships and the absurdity of it all in a country which has lost itself in its own complaceny.
