The Black 6 Project was born from a passion to help others in need. The founders Joseph Zoleta, David Guzman, and Francis Faustino have made it a career in taking care of those in need. Faustino is a board certified family practitioner and both Guzman and Zoleta are paramedics in New York City. They provide EMS care in a city that receives about 1.43 million emergency medical service calls a year.

Before they were paramedics though, Guzman and Zoleta served in separate armed services but ones that would be all too familiar with each other. Guzman was a corpsman for the Navy and Zoleta was a grunt for the Marine Corps. The brotherhood that the Marines have with their Corpsman is undeniable so it would be only natural that these two would team up.

Both are combat veterans from deployments in Iraq and when they returned home and developed their careers, they both still felt the need to do more. They were working on their new company, “Black 6” when conversation brought them to the need to do more outside of their usual realm.

As veterans, they found their appetite to serve for a greater cause could not easily be satisfied. When they left their respective services, that fire to just get out there still smoldered inside. Many may succumb to the mediocre life, but they felt it would be an even greater achievement to serve on their own terms, and they quickly found many others with the same fire inside.

The Black 6 Project is an organization that looks for volunteers that have the motivation to serve for the better good. It is an organization that can pool its resources of motivated individuals and bring care to those in need anywhere in the world. With the experience of their veteran leadership, The Black 6 Project is planning to deploy annually to different parts of the world.

Tom Mullen says Americans look forward to their second “new normal” Christmas wondering if their governments will allow them to celebrate it. Many Christians might believe it is their duty to suffer in silence, to “turn the other cheek,” in exchange for a reward in the next life.

Mullen also takes a look at several popular Christmas films and television specials, some radically anti-state and others anti-freedom propaganda.

He has written five bestselling Christian books for adults, including: A Travel Guide to Heaven and Ten Prayers God Always Says Yes To. He has also written eight bestselling books for children, including: The Donkey That No One Could Ride and Little Star. His latest, as a charming Christmas children’s book, The Beggar and the Bluebird, a modern-day fairytale in the tradition of Hans Christian Anderson, the Grimm brothers and other classic children’s book authors.

"The Beggar and the Bluebird" tells the moving tale of a little bird whose flight southward for the winter keeps getting delayed because of the strange requests of a local street beggar. The beggar asks the bird to fly various “errands or mercy” for him, delivering bread to a homeless man, money to a widow with children, and a gold cross to a sick boy in the hospital. As a result of these acts of kindness, the bluebird gets caught in a winter snowstorm. All seems lost, until an astonishing surprise ending reveals that the street beggar is really an angel of God.

DeStefano was born and raised in Brooklyn and today lives in New Jersey.

Dr. Anna Lembke is a psychiatrist and the Medical Director of Addiction Medicine at Stanford University and a much sought-after expert in the field of addiction. In her new book, DOPAMINE NATION (out now), Dr. Lembke explores exciting new scientific discoveries that explain why the relentless pursuit of pleasure leads to pain, while also offering practical solutions for how to manage compulsive overconsumption, providing a clear way back to a balanced life.

Dr. Lembke offers practical solutions for how to manage overconsumption, including dopamine fasting and radical honesty – and the lasting advantage to making them a regular practice. At the root of much of today's mental anguish is dopamine, which according to Dr. Lembke triggers, gambling, and addictions to food, smoking, cannabis, alcohol, gaming, social media, drugs, and other substances and pleasures.

DOPAMINE NATION is a fascinating look into the whole spectrum, from indulgence to dangerous addictions, and Dr. Lembke’s strategy of combining the science of desire with the wisdom of recovery is essential in this age overconsumption. 

A.D. Ultman grew up on a farm on the Great American Plains. He was educated at leading public universities on the East and West Coasts, studying cognitive science and political theory. He began his career as a U.S. Senate staffer and then spent eight years building and leading a successful corporate market research and consulting practice in Washington, DC. He resigned his position in 2017 to travel and study political systems around the world. Since then, he has been an independent writer and teacher and now a teacher at a Charter School, in the US, a “public school” run as a school of choice for parents and student, free of many state and local regulations, as well as ideologies, imposed upon traditional public schools. Ultman holds a B.S. in psychology and political science and a M.A. in political science.

Inspired by George Orwell and intended for readers ages 12 and up, A.D. Ultman’s Animal Town masterfully explains today's political landscape and cautions against extremism on all sides. Animal Town is a book made for the political moment but rooted in perennial wisdom-and could not be timelier message for the youth of America.

Animal Townis a nuanced and sophisticated treatment of contemporary politics, grounded in the words and actions of American political and cultural leaders. It is related through the compelling story of a young jackrabbit's struggle to understand the nature of freedom, a weasel's quest for wealth and power, and the conflicting dogmas preached by a zealous fox and a radical gopher.

In Animal Town's anthropomorphic world reminiscent of George Orwell's Animal Farm, predator and prey species of the American prairie have built a democratic, capitalist society where animals live together in harmony. Then, for the first time in memory, a predator kills a prey. The tragedy triggers a resurgence of species-based politics that threatens the very existence of Animal Town.

Animal Town https://animaltownbook.com/is described as a prescient cautionary tale exposing the danger of far-right and far-left political extremism.
