Book Review:
Clinton Cash - The Untold Story of How and Why Foreign Governments and Businesses Helped Make Bill and Hillary Rich, by Peter Schweizer

"Friends, money, and politics are a dangerous cocktail. The Clintons should know to avoid this kind of drinking while driving US policy"

In this eye-opening exposé, Schweizer dives deep into the countless donations and payments by foreign governments and companies to the Clintons and their foundation throughout the years. Time and time again, these transactions happened at times when the donating parties would be greatly affected by decisions to be made by Hillary as Secretary of State. Far from a tabloid smear article, Schweizer's book represents the result of years of in-depth research, as evidenced by over 50 pages of footnotes. Clinton Cash will leave you wondering just how much of the recent political landscape has been altered by cash-wielding cronies.

As YAF members, our OCU team is a very engaged group in politics and love to read many conservative books. We are going to bring you reviews and requests on thought provoking books to read.

The Quest for Cosmic Justice

This is an excellent book written by Thomas Sowell on a hot topic of our day. Social Justice. Social justice is an often used term but do we really know what it means. At what point is social justice completed? What is the overall goal of social justice and is it used for engaging change or political gain? Powell asks at what cost does this style of thinking end up hurting us more than helping? Has affirmative action helped the United States or has it been an unsuccessful attempt at necessary diversity.

Causation does not equal correlation Sowell writes. Data in all aspects of the world can point to injustice on the surface yet have valid explanations for why they are happening. Thomas Sowell is an excellent intellectual and brings a conservative argument from the African-American community. We should challenge the deeply held beliefs that the government should play a part in the diversification of our communities/ schools/ professions.

Sowell claims that the governments hand in diversity has had an adverse effect on minority communities. Stating that African-Americans were much better off before the 1960's and that "social justice" has truly had negatives effects on the same communities it was meant to help.

This book is an excellent read and I would encourage anyone partaking or looking deeper into social justice, to read this book.
