Steve Deace's new book is a bestseller. Here is one review:

from the link:

The US Founding Fathers divided government so no one branch could gain tyrannical status. Cato urged this philosophy, so did Lord Acton: “Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” Accountability benefits our souls, and humility to defer to such accountability, befits them. That template now expansively modelled (at least in theory), is edified by the folk wisdom of The Lord’s Prayer, “Lead us not into temptation.”

Unaccountable bureaucracy has been a sinister force in history, henchmen of rogues run riot and run amok, seduced by their own star power. So, let’s see, here in Sri Lanka, what lessons and portents we might extract from the Fauci carnival that has so held US pandemic responses hostage. How did it happen, that the world’s foremost economy and sole superpower, instead of leading us out of this maelstrom, became the epicentre of disaster, with the worst COVID stats virtually in the world?

Sri Lanka? It's India that has the highest COVID stats, and right now, not Ceylon and not the U.S.

... with the worst COVID stats virtually in the world?

That part is not factual.

American Thought Leaders interview with Deach about his bestseller:

Steve Deace: COVID-19 Narratives, Politicization of Science, and the Republic’s Willing Subjugation

I don't understand how it is that Fauci is even allowed in front of a camera anymore. And even more, why the hell the moronic media still repeat what he says?
Just how many times does a person get to be wrong?

From the Introduction:

The likes of Fauci within the DC swamp are, well, legion.
That’s because we have been derelict in answering history’s call. Largely
because prior to coronavirus we were drunk on comfort and complacency. But
COVID-19 has taught us, harshly, that all we’ve been blessed to take for
granted and which previous generations had to fight for can be taken away
faster than you can say “nonessential business.” That even here, in twenty-first-century
America, you can wake up one day and toilet paper is not only
rationed, but the local business that sustained your family for decades can be
erased from memory. That the local church that brought grace and mercy to
the community can be shuttered. That funerals, graduations, weddings, proms,
and other rites of passage that testify to the fact life is more than a mere survival
rate can be cancelled with no makeup date promised.

A republic if you can keep it.

To that end, this book sees the role it has to play in such a cause as arming
you, the reader, with the most devastating weapon of our current technological
age—information. Some of this information is so important, and will be so
foreign to the Fake News narrative/panic porn you’ve been bombarded with,
that it will need to be repeated. Just as the COVID vaccines emerging at the
time this book was written require more than one dose, so will some of the
truths you’ll come to learn in this book.
