Tim Doyle Libri

An unflinching yet humorous observation of the most deplorable characters associated with the January 6th insurrection. With limericks to match the visualization of this haphazard band of Trumpites, the contents represent the unfortunates involved in one of the most egregious occurrences in American history. The actions taken before, during, and after January 6th are stomach-churning. By adding humor, hopefully, the reader will recognize the importance of that day and not ignore the acts surrounding the near-collapse of democracy.

2021 A Year in Review: "The Aftermath" is a critical and irreverent retrospective of the political landscape of 2021. Although humorous in design, "The Aftermath" is a no-holds barred approach to stripping the skin off some of the most egregious offenses of the first year of the Biden administration. Witnessing Donald Trump's never-ending chokehold on the Republican Party will have you gasping in disbelief and chuckling while trying to catch your breath. Whether you consider yourself Red or Blue, the illustrations and accompanying press articles will delight, enrage, elicit tears...and, hopefully, laughter as well. Enjoy the rollercoaster ride that was 2021.

Jack Marrinan was a key modernizer of policing in Ireland. He was elected to the national executive of the Representative Body for Guards (RBG), the precursor to the Garda Representative Association (GRA). When younger gardaí were excluded from a pay award in 1961, the RBG instructed its members to "go slow" in implementing traffic regulations in Dublin. A meeting of protesting gardaí at the Macushla ballroom in Dublin was proscribed. About 160 guards who attended were served with disciplinary notices charging them with discreditable conduct. Eleven men, including Marrinan, were dismissed by the commissioner. Changing of the Guard tells the story of Marrinan as a transformational figure in the force at a time of great social and economic change. Under his leadership, the GRA evolved into a skilful and powerful negotiating body. Nearly all of the advantages that gardaí enjoy today in their service are built on the foundations he established.
