"Nothing exemplifies the keen competitive spirit of tournament bridge better than the penalty double. Anytime a final contract is doubled, the stakes are raised not just the score but the implied mano a mano challenge. When you acquire a feel for opportunistic penalty doubles, you have added a potent weapon to your arsenal. Your courage to double freely and wisely will make you a respected and feared opponent. And if the opponents occasionally make a doubled contract against you, be consoled by what a mentor taught me: if they never make a doubled contract, you aren t doubling often enough. This book, like my books on demon doubling and 3NT, is intended for the intermediate and advanced intermediate club and tournament player."--Publisher description

The portals are open. The axe is sharpened. The oil is ready. The eagles have been released. The trumpet has sounded. Texas is going to war. Reveille has sounded. It's time to move. Set your face toward God and get ready to move into the new. Dutch Sheets declared: "We must be a company that fights well. There is a mantle on Texas to bring change to America, to legislate and anoint, to bring all that God's will is in covenant mercy, provision, communication and destiny of being a voice of God. The greatest year of war will be 2020. It will be vile. Our response level needs to be just as powerful or more so than the enemy. We need to decree eternity and keep decreeing. This is a warning for the nation.""In uncertain times, certainty! Expected the Unexpected! I've created a movement - you have been launched. You are no longer a network. You are a movement! Join the movement! We are wielding the axe and Texas is going to war! (Tom Schlueter)"Texans move to the sound of guns. They are willing to be at the forefront, the tip of the spear when liberty is threatened." (Lt. Colonel Allen West)
