(The Post Millennial)—US Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson has received payments totaling nearly $3 million for her memoir, “Lovely One,” according to a financial disclosure report released in June. This makes Jackson one of the highest-paid authors among Supreme Court justices, according to reports.
The book, published in September 2024, debuted at No. 1 on The New York Times bestseller list upon its release. According to the financial statement, Jackson reported receiving a $2,068,750 advance for the book in 2024, in addition to the approximately $900,000 she was paid by publisher Penguin Random House in 2023, per Politico.
The publishing company also provided Jackson with reimbursements for food, lodging, and transportation for her nationwide promotional book tour, according to the report, with stops in major cities such as Seattle, Chicago, San Francisco, Atlanta, and Miami. According to a book description on Amazon, “Lovely One” is described as “tracing [Jackson’s] family’s ascent from segregation to her confirmation on America’s highest court within the span of one generation.”
The Supreme Court recently enacted a formal rule of ethics for accepting gifts and free travel; however, the amount that justices can currently earn from book deals remains uncapped, Fox News reported.
“Last month, Barrett, Jackson, Gorsuch, and Sotomayor recused themselves from a decision over whether to hear a case involving the parent company of the book publisher Penguin Random House. The justices did not explain their reasoning for sitting out the discussion, but an ethics expert said it was probably because the case involved the German company Bertelsmann, which owns the publishing house that has published or will be publishing their books,” the Washington Post reported.

Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
