The Blue View

 


The Blue View:

The Uncut Journal of an Ohio Police Chief

“The hardest thing about being a police officer is you have to solve everyone else’s problems when you can’t even solve your own.”

This book is an unedited and raw journal written by a police officer over a thirty-year period. From his first day in the police academy to his last day as the Chief of Police in Middletown, Ohio, home of Hillbilly Elegy, you will feel as though you are right there with the author through the entire book, in a uniform, in a cruiser, and in his personal life. 

Never written to be released to the public, this easy to read format portrays the actual unfiltered personal journals of Chief Rodney Muterspaw, an award-winning Ohio Police Chief and Congressional guest at the Presidential State of the Union. You will feel the gamut of emotions as you follow him as a rookie, a patrol officer, investigator, narcotics officer, internal affairs supervisor, a Chief of Police, and a parent in one of the most well-known smaller cities in the Midwest. 

The Blue View will draw you in emotionally, as you will finally have access to the behind-the-scenes thoughts and experiences that most police officers will not talk about. It doesn’t matter what side you are on, it is a must read. It will change the way you think about law enforcement.

MORE ABOUT THE BLUE VIEW

Rodney Muterspaw was, for decades, a pillar of the community in Middletown—rising from junior officer on the Middletown Police force to chief during the height of the opioid epidemic. And for that entire time, he kept this incredible diary, chronicling the highs, lows, and hilarious moments of community policing. In these pages, you gain an appreciation for him, the man. 
— J. D. Vance, Author of the New York Times Best Seller and Netflix Blockbuster, Hillbilly Elegy.

Breathtaking! I grew up in the same streets as Muterspaw, but many years before he did. His vivid writing and perceptive storytelling help me to see its changes—its tragedies and its triumphs—through the world of its police. Part police drama, part social study, the chief offers valuable insights into what works and what doesn’t for the cops in an economically struggling rust belt town.
— Clarence Page, 1989 Pulitzer Prize-Winning syndicated columnist and senior member of the Chicago Tribune editorial board.

The Blue View presents a view of policing that is unlike anything I have ever read before. Beyond the good, the bad, and the ugly, Muterspaw has tracked his career in a raw and unvarnished way that will make you laugh and cry. While his self-deprecating sense of humor is the driving force of the book, he uses it to highlight real problems and real solutions within the increasingly complex world of policing.
— Stephen Robert Morse, Emmy Nominated Producer of Netflix’s Amanda Knox.

Jaw dropping! A truly honest look into a police officer’s personal world. Rewarding, heartbreaking, comical and inspiring! I laughed, I cried, and I loved it! A must read!
— Karin Johnson, WLWT Cincinnati News.

Incredibly raw, and shockingly real! Muterspaw explores the trials and tribulations of being a cop in the heartland. With an open and honest viewpoint, he holds nothing back. From his unique perspective he highlights the good, the bad, and the ugly of policing, while sprinkling in enough humor to keep the mood light.
— J. W. Cox, Award-winning writer/director, Average Joe Films.

This book portrays the reality of a rust-belt American as seen by a steel town police chief who for decades suited up to face the strengths and weaknesses of the city known as home to Hillbilly Elegy. He is a discerning, compassionate man, a good writer, and portrays life witnessed through the eyes of the Blue.
— Van Gordon Sauter, Former President, CBS News.

Liberty For All Men Everywhere

 


LIBERTY FOR ALL MEN EVERYWHERE:

THE THEORY AND PRACTICE OF FREEDOM


17 selected chapters are available at https://www.libfame.com/

Hear the author discussing his book at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-OnVlOEF3A

This is a large book. The PDF is 564 pages, not counting the Table Of Contents. There is a lot to know. There are 177 chapters. Any one of them could be expanded into a book.

In 1848, Karl Marx published his “Communist Manifesto” – the most influential political propaganda ever written. In it he preached his gospel of peace through war, prosperity through stealing, and love through murder. Now Marx is regarded by most of the world as a savior, and Jesus Christ is regarded as a superstitious peasant, if he existed at all. Marx’s doctrines are known under many names – Communist, Socialist, Marxist, Marxian, Leftist, and Liberal. The common denominator is that owning property is a sin, and that the government should bring righteousness to the world by taking property away from those who have it.

The joke is that Communism was started by, and has always been supported by, the Great Conspiracy of the Super Rich, in order to enslave those whom Communism claims to liberate.

Christianity is the great opposition to both Communism and the Conspiracy, and so they struggle constantly to stamp out Christianity. And the joke about that is that Christianity teaches materialism, by teaching that “God formed man of the dust of the ground” – which is definitely not true.

Thus the world is immersed in a flood of lies and deception. It has seven billion people. Very few of them have even the slightest idea what’s going on. It’s a zoo! The inmates are running the asylum!

You need to think “outside the box”. This book can be your guide for getting “outside the box”.

Buy it. Read it. Study it. Think about it. Apply it. Tell other people about it.

Join the Investigation Party!

Liberty lovers of all countries, unite!


ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Dale Samson has always been very interested in both politics and religion. He has studied in depth Hinduism, Christianity, Islam, science, and many Western philosophers. He is a great admirer of the Founding Fathers of America and of the liberty to which they dedicated their lives. He has carefully studied Karl Marx and the opposition to liberty. His book – LIBERTY FOR ALL MEN EVERYWHERE – The Theory And Practice Of Freedom – contains a detailed commentary on the Communist Manifesto, a fresh new statement of the philosophy and rationale of liberty, and commentary on these various religions and philosophies. It presents a comprehensive political philosophy, together with down-to-earth specific proposals.

He was born the son of a physicist and grew up immersed in math and physics. His childhood heroes were Newton and Einstein. Thus he is familiar with science, with Einstein’s theory of relativity, with quantum mechanics, and with the philosophy of materialism.

At an early age, he became intensely interested in oriental philosophy and religion. He graduated from Harvard College, majoring in philosophy. He studied existentialism, Immanuel Kant, logical positivism, linguistic philosophy, and many other schools of thought.

He joined the Army and spent a year doing military service in Vietnam.

He graduated from Harvard Business School, where he started to learn about business, economics, and finance.

Later he made a deep study of Christianity, and discovered a basic error in his thinking. He had been taught that all religions are basically the same. But he discovered that there are two types of religion. This fact is enormously important, but almost nobody knows about it.

He hopes that his book will inspire you with enthusiasm for liberty as envisioned by the American Founding Fathers. He hopes to persuade you that you personally can exercise your free will and do something that actually does make a difference to the future. There is hope. The place to start is to get the book, and then to learn the data.

Learn More Lovemore

 



How to master the art of raising children… from the very first cry until the moment they fly the nest.

Are you afraid you won’t immediately bond with your newborn baby?

Do you worry that your parenting style might permanently traumatise your child?

Are you scared that you’ll never be good enough as a parent, no matter how hard you try?

If you’re nervous about stepping into the crazy world of parenting, you’re not alone. 

According to the UN, over 385,000 newborn babies are brought into this world on a daily basis. Which means life completely changes overnight for thousands of new parents every single day.

Before you were a parent, you probably thought that having a child would be a blissful milestone in your life.

And even though there’s nothing quite as extraordinary as staring into the curious eyes of your child for the first time, the reality is that parenting may be the hardest thing you ever do in your life.

Between struggling to change nappies, soothing your baby’s nonstop crying, and sleeping for only minutes at a time, learning the new skills of raising a child can feel like a steep uphill battle... with no end in sight.

Because even once you become an expert at dressing your baby… your child will continue to grow and develop from a toddler into a teen. And that brings along a whole new set of unexpected challenges.

But parenting doesn’t have to feel exhausting and impossible. In fact, with the right parenting advice, you can easily overcome any obstacle that comes your way… and find joy in moulding your child into a happy, healthy human being.

In Learn More Lovemore, you’ll discover:

  • The 4 main categories of parenting styles (plus which ones you should avoid) 
  • How to teach your baby to communicate from the moment they’re born 
  • Over 9 possible causes of aggressive behaviour in children -- and what you can do when your child starts acting up 
  • The most effective skills for coping with each of the 5 stages of childhood development
  • The biggest mistakes that parents make when listening to their children -- do thisinstead if you want to boost your child’s communication skills 
  • 5 proven techniques for helping your kid manage conflicts at school 
  • Key life lessons that every child needs to learn before they become teenagers 
  • The 10 fundamental principles of good parenting -- and how to apply them to everyday situations 
  • Why technology could be putting your child at risk of depression: the truth about kids and smartphones 
  • 3 essential criteria to keep in mind when setting boundaries for your child

And so much more!

You can stop worrying about whether or not you’re parenting the “right” way. In Learn More Lovemore, you’ll find everything you need to know about raising a happy and healthy child... from their early years all the way into young adulthood.

Even if you’ve got years of experience teaching and playing with children, the unique insights in this book will make sure you’re fully prepared to become a wonderful parent.

You can keep spending hours of your time scouring the internet for reliable resources on parenting… or you can instantly calm your anxiety, and discover all the tried and tested steps for raising a child you’re proud of.

Rise of the Moments

 


Rise Of The Moments


Ultra-sentient beings known as "Moments" continue to monitor humanity, even as they themselves make ready for the transition of the universe into its next phase of existence.  Doctor Kerr is a human whose genius has brought about a formula that, in the wrong hands, could spell disaster for all life forms. Joe Splitts is a young man whose special ability to recreate himself makes him the target of deadly forces bent on killing him.

 

When the humans encounter two Moments designated "Eight", it evolves into a complex game of cat and mouse and begins a rapid chain of events that will endanger the very fabric of the universe.  As the purposeful agenda of the Moment people collides with the freedom of choice accorded mankind, uncertainty reigns, and both heroes and fiends are made and broken.  Someone has to die that we might all survive.

 

Life hangs in the balance, resetting the course for the future that will allow mankind to advance beyond the material realm, and Moments the opportunity to fulfill their ultimate purpose in the universe.

Perfect Penny

 


PERFECT PENNY:

In Case I Forget to Tell You


Our children have seen our best and have experienced some of our worse emotions.

We tried to hold it together, but sometime life is too much for us.

Out of habit we pour from an empty cup but here recently, our cup has been too dry to create a single drip of anything.

“Oh my, did I remember to compliment my child today?”

“Did I remember to smile and tell my kiddo how amazing they are before I hurried them off to school?”

In Case I Forget to Tell You is the love letter your child can read daily to affirm their strength, value, and worth. 

Nothing replaces our love, words of affirmation, and voice of confidence,

But in case you’ve lost your footing in affirming the young people in our lives, In Case I Forget to Tell You is a gift reminding your children just how special they are to you.

In Case I Forget to Tell You can be found on Amazon and Kindle stores.
