This seminal work of nonfiction recounts the new journalistic mass movement of today. Compiled from over a decade of investigative reporting coupled with a vast reference of philosophical research, American Muckraker is the definitive guide of truth-telling in the video age.

ON POWER

They do have tremendous power. But in part it is because we give it to them. We are nothing, but we are not alone. Awe cannot live in fear. The moment you stop caring about what the media establishment thinks of you, is the moment you become truly free.

ON INSIDERS

The USPS whistleblower, a Marine Corp combat veteran said, I would rather be back in Afghanistan, getting shot at by Afghans, honest to God, than be interrogated by federal agent Russell Strasserwho coerced him by saying, I am trying to twist you a little bit because your mind will kick in. I am not scaring you, but I am scaring you.

ON PRIVACY

The right to record is closely tied to the right to speak or even to take contemporaneous notes about what one sees and hears. As 60 Minutes producer Don Hewitt quipped, People committing malfeasance don't have any right to privacy. What are we sayingthat Upton Sinclair shouldn't have smuggled his pencil in?

ON MEANS & ENDS

Whereas the novelist Ernest Hemingway said, What is moral is what you feel good after and what is immoral is what you feel bad after, Thomas B. Morgan of the 1960s New Journalism contends, Morally defensible journalism is rarely what you feel good about afterward; it is only that which makes you feel better than you would otherwise.

ON LITIGATION

Polling does not decide the truth nor speak to evidence. The New York Times have not met their burden to prove that Veritas is deceptiveclaiming protections from an upstart competitor armed with a cell phone and a website. There is a substantial basis in law to proceed, to permit Project Veritas, to conduct discovery into The New York Times. Project Veritas v. New York Times Company; New York Supreme Court, March 18, 2021

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

James E. O'Keefe III is the author of American Pravda and NYT bestseller Breakthrough. At nineteen, he started a newspaper at Rutgers. Five years later, he conducted an undercover investigation, financed with nothing but a credit card, that led to the congressional defunding of ACORN. Jailed in Louisiana and restricted for three years by federal prosecutors who later resigned for misconduct, he founded Project Veritas by shipping hidden cameras to citizen reporters and whistleblowers. A decade of a new genre of guerilla video journalism ignited a movement with the tagline: Be Brave, Do Something.

Along the way, O'Keefe has exposed big tech abuses, media malfeasance, and state and federal election violations leading to scores of resignation and arrests. His work has also led to enhanced voter integrity, new state legislation, and courtroom First Amendment triumphsincluding a 2021 defamation lawsuit victory against The New York Times. Growing up in northern New Jersey, O'Keefe did property maintenance work every weekend with his father and grandfather, Jim O'Keefe Jr. and Jim O'Keefe Sr., and earned his Eagle Scout award on the side. He lives on the Long Island Sound, where he sails The Lucky Charm III.

AMAZING Debut Hockey Romance!
T R O P E S 🏒 College Hockey/Figure Skating Romance 🏒 Cinnamon Roll MMC/Black Cat FMC 🏒 He Falls First 🏒 Friends to Friends With Benefits to Lovers 🏒 Found Family 🏒 Mental Health Rep R E V I E W I’m sorry. Excuse me. WHAT? How is this Peyton’s debut novel?! This book had NO BUSINESS being this good. IMMEDIATELY it is in the top 5 books I’ve read this year, and I’ve read nearly 125 books. I was blown away by how good this was and cannot recommend it enough. This book follows Sadie, a figure skater who has a hard home life but is determined to succeed this year, and Rhys, the captain of the hockey team who took a hard hit in last year’s Frozen Four and is now struggling with getting back on the ice. These two are some of the BEST MCs I’ve read in a while! Sadie has so much going on, between her skating career, working 3 jobs, trying to get custody of her two younger brothers from their alcoholic dad, and school in general, this girl is stretched thin, but she is a power house - small but mighty. I loved her spitfire character! She is so guarded, but understandably so. I loved seeing her icy exterior melt for Rhys. And RHYS. I think he might be my favorite Rhys to date 👀 . He is the perfect Cinnamon Roll, but he’s also going through PTSD from a terrible hit and struggling. He becomes so obsessed with her and honestly, I’m a little jealous. (Let’s not forget about the mouth on this man though 🥵 .) I LOVED them as a pair and the angst and tension between them was spectacular! I love how they pushed each other and how well they matched. The spice between them was perfection as well! This was such a good blend of character development, plot, and spice. I also have to discuss the amazing side characters. First of all, Sadie’s brothers are the stars of this show. Liam was the cutest thing on this planet and I just wanted to give Oliver a hug (but won’t because he doesn’t want to be touched). The way Rhys interacts with them and the whole storyline with them made me bawl. It was soooo good. Then we have Rhys’ family! His parents are magnificent and I need to know more about their story! And lastly, we cannot forget Rhys’ team. I cannot wait for more books about each and every one of them. They were all introduced so well and I KNOW there are going to be some fantastic stories told about them. I’m going to need this to be a series with all of the hockey teammates (Toren and Bennett both have me eyeing them up and I needed their books YESTERDAY). I’m also going to need a prequel novel about Rhys’ parents AND a next gen spinoff with Sadie’s younger brothers. This book is going to be a trophy I buy for my shelf so I can reread it and I will definitely be reading anything and everything Peyton writes in the future! The mental health rep in this book was chefs kiss. We saw them both struggling with their thoughts and emotions, saw them using each other for comfort, and saw them both getting true help. I loved that Rhys recognized he was using her as a crutch and sought therapy. We need more mental health rep that is done like this! Honestly, I cannot recommend this book enough. It had me laughing, blushing, and full on crying so many times. There was so much emotion, care, and love packed into this book. BRAVO Peyton on writing such a magnificent debut novel!

Love. Such a beautiful story!
Format: Kindle
Rhys and Sadie Gray meet at a point in their lives where they really need each other. Their initial impressions of each other are not that great and they start off on the wrong skates. These two are both struggling with their own issues and each carries their own stress differently. Rhys struggles with the aftermath of a traumatic injury while playing hockey. Sadie struggles with the weight of responsibility. Their story is not unique, but in this genre it's the first time I've read a story like this and it did not disappoint. It's such a beautiful story about love and staying steadfast in your conviction to stand by the person you love even when they don't think they deserve it and push back. The love Rhys has is unmatched and it reminded me of Johnny from Boys of Tommen. The author did an incredible job and I can't wait to read more from her.

Unsteady Review
Format: Kindle
This was my first book by the author and it did not disappoint. I loved how real and relatable the main characters were. From the mental health journeys they go on, and the things they deal with in their life. I felt like I could be their friend. I didn't want this book to end it was so good. It made me feel all the things: happy, sad, it made me laugh. And above all the representation of friendship in this was great! Will definitely read more of the author's books!

He falls fast & hard, but she’s trying to slip away..
Sadie Brown has herself so thin taking care of everything around her she’s on the verge of losing her college figure skating scholarship. She’s juggling being the parent figure to her two younger brothers (alcoholic father), working 2 jobs, figure skating, college classes, & trying to have somewhat of a social life. So to maintain her figure skating skill, Sadie skates early in the morning before anyone should be at the rink… Rhys Koteskiy, college hockey captain, and son of famous former NHL player Maximilian Koteskiy. Thinks he’s on top of the world in his growing career, until one day he takes a nasty hit that leaves emotionally unable to get back onto the ice without complete panic. When he decides to try and take control at the rink alone so others don’t find out about his anxious state, he runs into the angsty figure skater… Their paths keep connecting from the morning skates where they decide to share the ice from Sadie’s brothers participating in the youth hockey program Rhys helps out with. Sharing music playlists turns into sharing each others bodies for each others personal gain. But what happens when the guy falls first and the girl wants none of the emotional strings? Or when lawyers become involved with Sadie’s situation of her brothers? Buckle up because it’s about to become quite icy! 📚 College Hockey Romance 📚 Forced Proximity 📚 Single Parent / Sister 📚 Angsty!! 📚 Secret Friends With Benefits 📚 He falls first & HARD 📚 Dual POV This was my first read by Peyton Corrine & omgsh I loved it! Such an emotional read covering heavy topics of male anxiety / mental health & the Cinderella sister. A beautiful approach to such real everyday topics that don’t always get talked about. I can’t wait to read more of her work!!
