Chris Collins released a new memoir recounting his political rise, legal troubles, presidential pardon, and return to public life.

"

All right, next up, a person with a book called My Remarkable Life, and I'd say truth of an advertising.

I have written a book. It was published just two days ago, so here we go.

That's the oldest story in the book, a New Yorker flees for warmer climes.

People who will go on Amazon maybe today and buy my book, My Remarkable Life, they'll be horrified at what I was put through for 10 weeks.

My Remarkable Life is a remarkable book. It is an incredible American story about someone with extraordinary success in business and politics, a brush with the law, and a return to public service.

She explained that the memoir was written to set the record straight about her story and the Netflix documentary, detailing the manipulation she endured.

"

Sarma Melngilis has a new memoir. It is called The Girl with the Duck Tattoo. In it, she aims to set the record straight by laying out what she says is the real story behind the fame, the manipulation, and the fallout of her unbelievable saga.

And so, again, that's what I write about in my book is really taking the reader along with me through this sort of nightmarish journey about getting manipulated over time and really trying to help people understand how this happens and also the psychology behind it.

Through my book and through speaking out about what happened and this type of manipulation that a lot of people don't realize could happen to them, I hope it will help others recognize the signs.

The book again that she mentioned is called The Girl with the Duck Tattoo. And that's where Sarma aims to set the record straight by laying out what she says is the real story.

Oprah is opening up about her weight loss journey, sharing how she overcame the shame of not being able to manage my weight. It's called Enough, Your Health, Your Weight, and What It's Like to Be Free.

By the way, this book is bullshit because she didn't collaborate on it. I got the book. She wrote a forward. It's like three and a half pages long.

She says the medication helped her quiet the food noise, that relentless voice urging her to eat more, and she claims GLP1 drugs gave her more energy and less alcohol cravings.
