God bless Regnery.
Looking for a changing of the guard, not only in government, but in the media, in education, and in the arts and entertainment.
Changes also afoot in religion, especially Christianity which really isn’t a religion.
Good things ahead.

Ask Hitlery, she knows rigged, for sure.
Maybe the Times "Best Celler List" is a Hitlery campaigner ?
Maybe he didn't get the message :" .. we'll all hang, together "
and thinks that "The NY Times" is still relevent ??
Just saw this posted on Facebook. Interesting...
Regnery, a conservative publisher, took a bold step yesterday in criticizing the methodology of the New York Times best sellers list. Regnery was criticized heavily with the prevailing response being, “Regnery books don’t sell and nobody reads conservative books,” which are both false assertions.
The Times list has long been a point of frustration for me. In 2008, Tyndale published a biography about Sarah Palin by Kaylene Johnson. This is the New York Times list for October 2008 in rank order. The sales numbers are actual scanned sales by BookScan. 1. Three Cups of Tea - 15,750 2. Eat, Pray, Love - 11,176 3. The Audacity of Hope - 6,976 4. Dreams from My Father - 7,581 5. A Long Way Gone - 5,488 6. The Duchess - 7,767 7. 90 Minutes in Heaven - 4,712 8. I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell - 4,270 9. Musicophilia - 4,379 10. The Zookeeper’s Wife - 4,717 11. The Shock Doctrine - 4,356 12. Sarah (Kaylene Johnson’s Palin bio) - 9,393 13. The Nine - 4,537 14. Animal, Vegetable, Miracle -2,967 15. The Glass Castle - 4,083.
As you can see, with nearly any methodology, at worst it should have been No. 3, not No. 12.
In 2011, Tyndale published a book with Auburn football coach Gene Jonna Nicely Chizik Chizik. During its debut week it was No. 11 in actual sales (BookScan) and thus made the Publishers Weekly list. The New York Times had 25 slots for NY Times best sellers and it made ZERO slots. Of course we complained but we were told, as we are always told, “our formula is proprietary.” The Times hinted it was because of lack of geographic distribution to which I responded, “Book sales in Seattle aren’t any more important than book sales in Birmingham.”
In 2010, Tyndale published Drew Brees’s Coming Back Stronger. It was No. 1 on the Wall Street Journal list and No. 1 on the PW list but only No. 3 on the Times list, even though it again sold the most copies (hardcover nonfiction) in the country that week. That snub was one of the most disappointing of my professional career as I had seen the Bookscan sales earlier that day and fully expected it to be No. 1. It ranked No. 3 on the Times list in spite of outselling the No. 2 book by more than 5,000 copies.
Joel Rosenberg is another author who is consistently downgraded by the Times methodology. We even started calling it the “Joel Rosenberg penalty,” and it is often 5-10 spots lower than actual sales.
In 2011, a Francie Rivers book was the sixth best selling fiction book during its debut week. It was No. 18 on the Times list (there aren’t even that many spots any more) and sold MORE THAN 6,500 copies than the two books immediately ahead of it on the list.
You may call it sour grapes if you want but please understand that the New York Times list is really a list of “the best selling books in the stores that we deem cool list” rather than an actual best sellers list. Yet it is the holy grail list for publishers. Publishers have been afraid to call the listen into question for fear of penalty. Publishers wouldn’t be fearful of retribution if the Times used actual sales. When the methodology isn’t public, that fear is legitimate.
If you'd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

I wouldn't attribute the American left to Nazism, though it's hardly worth arguing about, the suppression of the masses motive is the same. But the American left predates Hitler. The impact of the American left, particularly on issues of race, had a major impact on a certain Austrian corporal. That should be ignored.
