I would highly recommend Thomas Jefferson: Author of America by Christopher Hitchens. Hitchens was a journalist and essayist, heavily influenced by George Orwell, Thomas Jefferson, and Leon Trotsky. He's one of the few people I can think of who described himself as a "socialist" of sorts who also admired the American Revolution. An interesting source, but he's a person who hugely admired Jefferson and was also willing to criticize his failings. Basically, you will get the general story that most Americans know, but Hitchens also writes about the more troubling/controversial aspects of Jefferson such as his ownership of slaves and his fathering of children with them.

Anyway, that's Jefferson. For general American history I would suggest reading both A People's History of the United States and A Patriot's History of the United States. Those books will provide general knowledge from two very distinct perspectives. People's is very critical of the country's past, while Patriot's is...well, patriotic.

I used to drink several of these in a week (I worked in a retail store that sold them). I'd refill them during the day, and move to a new one in one or two days.


Recently I moved to a much, much more liberal state where people are into recycling (I previously lived in the south) and decided to upgrade to one of these.

while I get this may not be the answer you are looking for, you could cut the cable, put the female version of the plug this has on it (I think it's a 5.5mm 2.5 mm power plug), and then put a jack on the other end of the current plug, allowing you to attach whichever makes the most sense for where you are.

Looks like the power supply is actually 9V. I doubt these slide-on adapter things are standardized, so you'll probably have to contact the manufacturer. I found this after searching, but I still doubt it will fit (https://www.amazon.com/Phihong-Wall-Adapter-Slide-VERSION/dp/B00FJKO5SY).

The support website is also remarkably useless. They just tell you to go buy an adapter with no other relevant info (https://support.clickandgrow.com/hc/en-us/articles/202929158-What-to-do-if-I-have-the-wrong-power-adapter-)

The American view of Muslims was not just about Cold War politics. There is a cultural stereotype that long predates the Cold War.

Jack Shaheen has written a wonderful book about Hollywood portrayals of Arabs and Muslims called "Reel Bad Arabs"
