A Clip-n-Save Speech for Your Next Political Event - Reason.com
"Politicians speak in platitudes.
Politicians like to give speeches, you might have noticed—and modern communication makes it easier than ever for their speeches to reach a broad audience.
But in today's fast-paced world, who has the time to watch or read them all?
As a public service, herewith a major time-saver: a distilled version of every speech you can expect to hear over the next 12 months. 
No need to send thanks—just cash."
"Thank you. Thank you all. Thank you very much.
It is so great to be here in (locality), home of the (hometown team). Go, (mascot)!
My friends, we stand at a crossroads. 
This is a defining moment for our (city / state / nation). We face many challenges, and there are no easy answers. 
We have (come a long way / achieved a great deal), but there is still much to do. 
There are those who say we are not up to the task. 
There are those who want to turn back the clock. But I believe that if we work together, there is nothing we cannot achieve.
But to achieve great things, we need bold leadership. 
And that is why I am proud to stand before you today and announce my (candidacy / re-election campaign / new program)..."

How The FBI and DOJ Intelligence Units Were Weaponized Around Congressional Oversight… | The Last Refuge

How The FBI and DOJ Intelligence Units Were Weaponized Around Congressional Oversight… | The Last Refuge:

"In 2016 the ODNI for President Obama was James Clapper.  The DNI is a political appointment, a cabinet member, of the President. If the executive branch, the President, wanted to weaponize intelligence as a political tool, he/she would have control over such weaponization as an outcome of their political appointees within the: FBI (Comey, McCabe), DOJ (Lynch/Yates), CIA (Brennan), DNI (Clapper), or DoD (Ash Carter). The efficient weaponization of intelligence stems from controlling the hub, James Clapper.
The civilian (representative) oversight into the compartmented intelligence falls to a very select group known as the Intelligence Gang of Eight."

History, Cinema, and the Power of 'Darkest Hour' - American Greatness

History, Cinema, and the Power of 'Darkest Hour' - American Greatness:
"...The story of “Darkest Hour” concerns a conspiracy by members of Churchill’s own war cabinet to have the new prime minister deposed and replaced within his first days of office, on the grounds that his uncompromising belligerence concerning Hitler was uninformed, irrational, and a threat to British security.
The conspirators, just-resigned Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain and the Tory insiders’ preferred successor, Viscount Halifax, are not only elite professionals, their roles represent professionalism to the audience. 
They are manifestly respected, experienced officials with nothing impulsive or disorganized about them. 
Their Tory faction in Parliament is so well-controlled its MPs decide whether to applaud a speech or remain silent by watching how Chamberlain manipulates a handkerchief. 
Chamberlain’s forced resignation from 10 Downing Street is viewed as an unfair slight to a capable public servant. 
The two plotters discuss their plan to oust Churchill calmly and methodically. 
The film depicts no military or political professional who thinks their hopeless view of Britain’s chances is controversial. 
Except one: the new prime minister.
Everybody in government also agrees that Churchill is not merely wrong but wrongheaded, and lacking the mental and emotional equipment for his office..."

University of Chicago faculty tell Obama to move Presidential library - Washington Times:

"More than 100 members of the University of Chicago faculty are asking the Obama Foundation to move the proposed library honoring the 44th president to a new location because the plan as currently constituted is “socially regressive.”

The Obama Presidential Center will not provide the “promised development or economic benefits” to surrounding neighborhoods, the professors write and could cost more than $100 million in state funds."

DC Press Corps KNEW For a FULL YEAR Hillary Clinton Was Behind Russia Dossier - HID IT FROM PUBLIC: "
"The DC press corps and prominent Washington journalists knew Hillary Clinton paid for the dossier as early as September of 2016 yet they suppressed the information and acted as if the salacious document was legit intel.
The liberal mainstream media WITHHELD THIS FROM THE AMERICAN PUBLIC FOR A YEAR!
This is why Americans loathe the mainstream media.
They are nothing more than a mouthpiece for the Democrats and Deep State hacks."

Is Trump a 'Very Stable Genius' or a Dangerous Lunatic? - Hit & Run : Reason.com

Is Trump a 'Very Stable Genius' or a Dangerous Lunatic? - Hit & Run : Reason.com
"By calling himself "a very stable genius" on Saturday, Donald Trump invited his psychiatrically inclined opponents to reiterate their claim that he is mentally unfit for office. 
"The level of concern by the public is now enormous," Yale forensic psychiatrist Bandy Lee told The New York Times. 
"They're telling us to speak more loudly and clearly and not to stop until something is done, because they are terrified."

Lee, who edited The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump: 27 Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts Assess a President, thinks the public is clamoring to hear the opinions of brave experts like her. 

...Lee is rebelling against the American Psychiatric Association's rule barring members from diagnosing at a distance public figures whom they have not personally examined. 

The injunction, which can be found in Section 7 of the APA's Principles of Medical Ethics, is known as the Goldwater rule because it was largely a response to psychiatric critiques of the 1964 Republican presidential nominee—in particular, an article in Fact magazine that quoted APA members who described Goldwater as, among other things, "a dangerous lunatic," a repressed homosexual, a self-hating half-Jew, a paranoid schizophrenic, and "a mass-murderer at heart," just like "Hitler, Castro, Stalin and other known schizophrenic leaders."

The APA rejected such wild speculation as unprofessional and unethical, a pseudoscientific cover for political disagreements..."

A look at China's pervasive attempts to exert its influence around the world | American Military News
"A foreign government accused of infiltrating schools, the legislature and the media, using its agents to monitor students and influence politicians.
It looked like a campaign of espionage and interference that a top intelligence official warned could “cause serious harm to the nation’s sovereignty, the integrity of our political system, our national security capabilities, our economy and other interests.”
Forget, for a moment anyway, Russia meddling in the 2016 U.S. presidential race. 
This was China meddling in Australia.
...Here’s a primer on the situation:
Q: What happened?
A: In June, Fairfax Media and the Australian Broadcasting Corp., two of the country’s most influential news organizations, published a five-month investigation detailing China’s campaign.
The stories described threats against parents in China for their sons’ involvement in democracy protests in Australia, the detention of a Chinese-born academic during a visit there, donations from pro-Beijing businesses to the campaigns of Australian senators, and the party’s grip over Chinese-language media on the island.
The country’s domestic spy chief, Duncan Lewis, told lawmakers in June that espionage and foreign interference were occurring at “an unprecedented scale” and were a threat to the country’s institutions, politics and economy..."
