“Todd Starnes is a fierce defender of freedom and a great patriot. He has seen, and understands, what is happening to our country like few others—his book is absolutely terrific, a must read!” —President Trump
President Biden ushered in a dark winter of malaise across our great nation. He snuffed out Lady Liberty’s bright beacon of hope and brought despair to the land. And now we stand at a time of great choosing. Do we choose the path that leads to freedom or the path that leads to tyranny?
We face difficult days, but not hopeless days. Together, we can restore the Republic and reclaim our standing in the world. But first, we must remember our roots and return to the values that made our nation great. A deep and abiding desire for freedom and liberty, girded by faith in God, is the essence of who we are. Those are the precepts that must be reaffirmed if America is to be saved.
This book uses humor to cover a very serious subject, the decline of our great nation. If this doesn’t wake you up, nothing will. Great job, Todd Sterns!
This book should be read by every high school and college student. Our very survival is attached to it. I beg every one who reads this to read Twilight lights last Gleaming.
The title left me with mixed feelings. It was a quick and easy read, taking only 4 days with breaks in-between. While the message was often clear and to the point, there were chapters that I found not only boring but also largely irrelevant. While it was obviously the intention of the author to introduce a bit of light-hearted humor, peppered with an underlying metaphorical message, it felt like a failed attempt, and one I could not appreciate. Thus, chapters 10-14, 16, and 20 all lack a certain finesse and appeal.
While I respect Stranes's laudable religious convictions, they were overplayed and puerile for me.
The author does a good job of providing examples of the weaponization of language and ahistorical approaches to governing (p.87)
A small note on the punctuation, in US punctuation, the parentheses appear after the punctuation, not before. "This is an example of correct punctuation. "This is not".
After reading page 94, I made a note to myself to remove Memphis from our future bucket list—perhaps all of Tennessee.
There were a few eye-opening excerpts, notably the whole Mattel-Fischer-Price RuPaul drag queen toys, that sent me scurrying to fire off a message to groomers and reprobates in protection of my 5-year-old son's future. No more Mattel in this house. There were also other similar and disturbing facts provided, of which I had previously been unaware.
Conclusion, worth a read. I reduced it to three stars due to the previously mentioned bloat.
This is mostly factual truth. Data you can check. Yet I truly do not jive with his writing style or his propensity for a broad or tangent type of humor.
His argument style even when he has huge credible points, may often be from a religious cognitive authority core. I am religious myself but NOT a fan of that argument form much either. It was worth the read as it posits true freedom FROM governmental overreach and how citizens suffer repeatedly from those ever increasing federal and state level habits. They have even perverted definition of common English and stomped free speech.
Some of the company info for products and influences was VERY appreciated.
I appreciate Todd Starnes. He is a great Patriot and a great Author. Twilight’s Last Gleaming was a wake up call to the state of our union and a Truthful breath of fresh air as a reminder of all that’s worth saving to the Glory of God!
dnf, p3; Typical hate bait, lies & apocalyptic fantasies. Boring & tedious & unoriginal. His contribution to the oeuvre seems to consist of snippy chapter titles. Heroic.
