Lessons from the Front: A Rookie War Correspondent in Ukraine and Israel

 Man in a Press Bullet Proof Vest in Tunnel


Lessons from the Front:

A Rookie War Correspondent in Ukraine and Israel


Robert Sherman was a 25-year-old kid who thought he knew everything about the world. One day, Russia invaded Ukraine, and the young journalist who had spent his time covering local politics found himself smack dab in the middle of the world's biggest geopolitical crisis -- fleeing air raids and getting accused by local authorities of being a Russian spy. A year later, he found himself in the Middle East running from rockets and diving into Hamas tunnels in Gaza. There's no textbook that teaches you that. In the end Robert's whole view of the world changed and he quickly realized its the simple things in life that matter most: family, home, community, and time. I'm attaching an excerpt of the book here too

Silvertung


Greetings, everyone. We hope you don't mind us taking the time and this platform to talk about a new idea that we would like to bring into the world. We have created an app called Silvertung where people will be able to create short-form and long-form posts and have AI voices read the text for others. Imagine if Twitter had combined with Wattpad and had the ability to have an AI voice to read the tweet or read the book for you, effectively creating an audiopost or an audiobook and sharing the same content on the platform with others. If this idea sounds interesting, then would you consider trying out our prototype available on our website, as we have created this prototype to give early users/partners an idea of how the app would work, as we are trying to get as many early users/partners as possible in order to gauge the amount of interest there is in our idea so that we have a better chance of acquiring the means to create the complete app with all the features we had envisioned having been upgraded or available, which is why we aim to create a community on our app. For those who would be interested in joining this community and using our prototype regularly, they will form part of our "founders club," an exclusive group where members will receive a lifetime of benefits from the app, as we recognize that early users will be crucial in helping our idea reach the heights that we believe it can achieve, and we would like to reward those who invested their time using our prototype. If you would like more information on the Founders Club and its benefits or if you would like to contact us, we are available on all social media. Just search Silvertung AI, or you can contact us via my email, moses@silvertung.site Thank you for your time, and remember to share your Silvertung with the world.

Thoughts on my Thoughts VI: The TALES That Wagged This Veterinarian

 Man in Night Hanging from Climbing Rope


A Philosophical Adventure Through the Heart of Modern Faith, Doubt, and Self-Discovery

What happens when a single idea refuses to stay small?

In Thoughts on My Thoughts VI, Dr. Walter R. Hoge once again invites readers into his introspective world—a place where questions are not meant to be answered quickly, but wrestled with, revisited, and refracted through experience. This sixth installment in his reflective series is a masterclass in mental excavation, where the simplest observations spiral into profound meditations on politics, morality, God, the nature of belief, and the paradoxes of our modern world.

Through a sharp and unflinching lens, Dr. Hoge contemplates everything from media bias and scientific hypocrisy to divine silence and personal authenticity. His writing—unfiltered, unapologetic, and fiercely intelligent—is not for the passive reader. It’s for the curious, the restless, the seekers who crave dialogue with someone unafraid to challenge cultural dogmas or question sacred institutions.

Provocative, fearless, and fiercely introspective—Thoughts on My Thoughts VI challenges you to rethink everything. – MainSpring Books

But underneath the philosophical rigor and social critique, there’s an unmistakable heartbeat: the voice of a man who still dares to hope. A man who, despite life’s noise and injustice, still believes in asking: What is truly good? What is truly true?

This is not just a book of essays. It’s a confrontation. It’s a mirror. It’s a friend whispering, “You’re not alone in wondering.”

The Reagan Files 2025 : The First Term (Abridged)

 Pencil Drawing of Ronald Reagan


The Reagan Files 2025 :

The First Term (Abridged)


Jason Saltoun-Ebin's monograph The Reagan Files 2025: The First Term takes readers inside the White House to experience what it was like to be in the room as President Reagan and his senior advisers struggled to craft a foreign policy that would lead the United States to victory in the decades long Cold War.

Based on over two decades of research at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, Saltoun-Ebin’s efforts through extensive use of the Presidential Records Act, the Freedom of Information Act and Mandatory Declassification Review requests dating back over twenty years, presents a Reagan Administration that genuinely feared a world-wide communist revolution. For Ronald Reagan, a man who lived through two World Wars, the Great Depression, the Korean and Vietnam Wars and personally experienced the threat of communism in his days as President of the Screen Actors Guild, his crusade to defeat the Soviet Union would become nothing less than the raison d’ĂȘtre of his presidency.

Saltoun-Ebin’s study of Reagan’s first term predominantly relies on recently declassified memorandums of conversation between President Reagan and world leaders like British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, Egyptian leaders Anwar Sadat & Hosni Mubarak, French President Francois Mitterrand, Chinese Premier Zhao, Indian Prime Minister Indira Ghandi, Japanese Prime Ministers Suzuki and Nakasone, Jordan’s King Hussein, Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin, West German Chancellor Kohl, & Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko, to name just a few. In between these tĂȘte-Ă -tĂȘte’s Reagan would use his National Security Council and more senior group, the National Security Planning Group, to assist him as he prepared to persuade world leaders that the path out of the Cold War started in the Reagan White House.

Hobart's Heart of Attraction

   A Glowing Dog in a Field of Flowers


Hobart's Heart of Attraction


Hobart’s Heart of Attraction

A Parable About Love, Healing, and the Energy That Changes Everything

What if love isn’t something you search for—but something you choose to radiate?

Hobart’s Heart of Attraction is a short, uplifting parable that explores the transformative power of unconditional love and the quiet wisdom that comes from opening one’s heart. Set in a peaceful valley, the story follows four individuals—Ray, Chloe, Eli, and Nora—each facing emotional challenges that reflect the inner struggles many people experience: fear, caution, self-doubt, and uncertainty about their place in the world.

At the center of their journey is Hobart, an English Cream Golden Retriever whose name means “bright heart.” Through his calm presence, joy, and unwavering love, Hobart becomes a living example of what it means to love without conditions or expectations. He doesn’t speak—but he teaches. He doesn’t fix—yet everything begins to heal.

As the characters spend time in the valley, they begin to understand a profound truth: love is not simply an emotion we wait to feel, but an energy we can choose to embody. The book’s central message is simple yet profound: when we open our hearts to love—toward ourselves, others, and life—everything becomes possible. Stress eases. Healing begins. Possibilities expand. Life aligns.

Inspired by the principles of the law of attraction and the idea that the heart carries the strongest energy we possess, Hobart’s Heart of Attraction delivers a gentle yet powerful message: when we radiate love, we attract healing, peace, and possibility.

Written in a simple, timeless parable style similar to Who Moved My Cheese, this book is perfect for readers seeking inspiration, emotional renewal, and a reminder of what truly matters.

Ideal for readers who enjoy:

  • Inspirational and spiritual parables
  • Books about love, healing, and mindfulness
  • Gentle stories with deep meaning
  • Animal-inspired wisdom and heart-centered living


Open your heart.
Let love lead.
Everything else will follow.
