This month, The Daily Signal told the remarkable story of Elijah Leffingwell, a 2-year-old miracle child whose life was saved before he was even out of the womb.

Thanks to fetal surgery, a rare procedure available at only a few hospitals around the world, doctors were able to remove a tumor the size of an orange from Elijah's lung.

In this book, O’Neil reveals how the Left’s NGO apparatus pursues its woke agenda, maneuvering like an octopus by circumventing Congress and entrenching its interests in the federal government.
