Most guys would rather jump off the tallest building in town than read any of those books, so they pretty much wing it when they have kids. The time has come for a book that speaks in the language of the common man—a parenting book for today's generation of guys who are trying to raise daughters. However, until that book comes along, try reading this book by W. T. Dupree (also known as "Dub T" or simply ...

Ultimately, it is about ambition, hope, leadership, and resilience; of doing the right thing and remaining true to one's self, and of extraordinary achievement, both in the private sector and the Republican political arena.

On the political front, view first hand as Ron takes 3 unwinnable gubernatoria ...
