[B&N] In Rogue Spooks, bestselling authors Dick Morris and Eileen McGann uncover the facts behind allegations of foreign meddling in the 2016 presidential election. This groundbreaking exposé will leave readers questioning the motives of U.S. Intelligence agencies, leftover partisans within our government, and members of the mainstream press.
Donald Trump's first 100 days in office were roiled by allegations of treasonous contacts between his campaign team and the Kremlin to rig the election. These outrageous charges first surfaced in the notorious "Trump Dossier," an unverified document of suspect provenance, full of wild and salacious accusations.
This dossier--filled with little more than gossip, rumor, and innuendo‐‐was compiled by Christopher Steele, a former British intelligence operative who teamed up with the FBI and anti-Trump partisans. Hillary Clinton supporters paid for Steele’s work.
When no news media would publish the unverified dossier, the ex-spook enlisted the help of a former UK ambassador to Russia, who arranged in turn for a former U.S. Assistant Secretary of State to get the document to Senator John McCain, in the hope that he would then bring it to FBI Director James Comey’s attention. McCain did just that.
Comey himself played a critical role in the dossier ultimately going public, giving a confidential summary to President Obama and Congressional leaders. It was immediately leaked by rogue spooks in order to demean, destabilize, and destroy Donald Trump’s nascent presidency.
The dossier and this mythical intelligence are the basis for the phony claims about a Russia/Trump collusion to steal the election. No proof was found. No substantiation uncovered. Even Comey told Trump he was not under investigation for the Russian meddling charges.
But that didn’t end the leaks or the allegations. Working in concert with liberal news outlets, these rogue spooks have formed a new intel/media complex that threatens our democracy. Rogue Spooks will reveal how it works.
Readers will be shocked to learn the truth about the false accusations against President Trump in the flawed dossier. They’ll be interested to know how leaks to the media fueled the phony scandal, and how intelligence agencies will try to use the newly appointed special prosecutor to oust President Trump.
They will also learn what we can do--specifically--to stop them.

[WAPO] WEST WINDSOR TOWNSHIP, N.J. -- The nationwide forces that are beginning to uproot football have converged at a place called High School North.
Demographic shifts, concussions, single-sport specialization and cost -- among the same issues that have caused youth football numbers to plummet around the country in recent years -- have led West Windsor-Plainsboro High School North to drop varsity football this season. The Knights, with a roster of 37 players, will play a junior varsity schedule.
High School South, the other secondary school in the district, might have to do the same next year, along with high schools from four other neighboring jurisdictions, West Windsor-Plainsboro Schools Superintendent David Aderhold said.
The moves reflect a crisis for football all over the country, but one that has accelerated in this New York City bedroom community.
"We’re the leading edge of a much larger iceberg when it comes to what’s coming in youth athletics," Aderhold said.
Football participation has dropped precipitously for some time. High school football enrollment is down 4.5 percent over the past decade, according to the National Federation of State High School Associations.
More schools are fielding football teams nationwide, albeit with fewer players, led by surges in such states as Oklahoma, Florida and Arkansas, which together have added 150 teams in the past five years. But other regions -- namely the Midwest and Northeast -- are shedding high school football programs at a significant rate. Michigan has seen a net loss of 57 teams in the past five years. Missouri has lost 24. Pennsylvania has lost 12.

"We’re the leading edge of a much larger iceberg when it comes to what’s coming in youth athletics," Aderhold said.
Or could youth injuries, liability claims, and medical expenses be forcing a return to common sense and the intended basics of 'reading, writing, and arithmetic ?'

Now compare that to the Red/Blue map of the last election. Could there be a pattern here? Where's the bastion of anti-male matriarchy? It's like, when women were less than 50 percent of the college population, 'we' had a problem. Now that women are nearly 60 percent, it's no longer a 'problem'.

Katy Texas just finished a gorgeous 1 billion $ stadium.
Hey what you up to
I already know
I heard the boys
Talkin' at the Texaco
It's a small town
I know how you feel
It's a small town, son
And the news travels
Quicker than wheels
Who you lookin' for
What was his name
You can probably find him
At the football game
It's a small town
You know what I mean
It's a small town, son
And we all support the team

Football is done in the blue states within a decade. Probably dead nationally within two.
Between micro-concussions and the 'must have a winner' aspect of sports I'm not sure how it can survive. We will probably continue to see high school and college football in the red states but I'm not sure that's enough to keep the NFL alive.
I'm sure the SJW will attempt to push everyone towards Soccer as more international, less aggressive, more woman friendly, and where faked injuries and grievances are part of the sport.

#5 Limbaugh has often talked about the SJWS attempts to destroy football for some of the same things you mention. When I first heard I didn't think it was likely. Now,I do. High-schools feed into colleges and colleges feed into the pros, if the high-schools go down, the rest of the system goes down.

To my friends who insist it can't happen, I remind them that my father grew up with 3 main household name sports stars- Boxers, Race Horses and Baseball players, as well as the biggest national spectacles... They all still exist, but are no longer the kings of sports.

I stuck with cross country skiing and ski mountaineering, rock climbing, mountaineering when I was a kid and through high school. I am 69 years old, knees are still good, hips are still good. Stayed away from contact sports. They are ligament and joint fatigue machines due to constant impacts. I did the above sports for the long haul and am glad I did so.

cross country skiing and ski mountaineering, rock climbing,
Forget that! I want to hear stories about Iceland.

jvalentour, the thing about micro-concussions (if they are real) is that they are not bad enough to sideline a player so they keep going, one after another, after another, until they beat the crap out of their brain.
With a concussion it is obvious and the player is walked off immediately.
The solution, if microconcussions are real, is to return to leather helmets in which the player will protect their head because of less protection and will stop using their helmet as a weapon. That will change the whole game of course.
#13
The other "inconvenient Gore" of concussions is that all of that new concussion protocol and decision matrix processes during the game are comparable to TSA screening in that the majority of concussions, somewhere around 2/3 occur during practices with much less oversight. Add in the Rudy factor of some kids willing themselves onto the starting line up and you end up undocumented concussions.

rjs,
I like the leather helmet idea.
Kid was a keeper, knees, and cleats to the head, she was walked off in college, had to quit sports entirely due to multiple concussions (over several years) in soccer. Other kids in football fared better. Really wasn't referring to micro concussions from headers. All this before the concussanazis.
I do have to say in the last few years HS football has done a better job training staff and players on how not to hit, at least here in my neck of the woods.
[Wash Times] Top Navy leaders are refusing to rule out the possibility that a collision between an U.S. destroyer and an oil tanker in the Pacific may have been intentional, Chief of Naval Operations Adm. John Richardson said Monday.
The incident, which occurred early Monday morning in Southeast Asian waters, resulted in 10 American sailors lost at sea and "significant damage" to the USS John S. McCain, an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer attached to the Navy’s Seventh Fleet, according to a Navy statement.
Search and rescue operations by the U.S., Indonesian, Singaporean and Malayan navies remained underway Monday night for the missing sailors, and four other U.S. sailors were reportedly evacuated from the USS McCain to medical facilities in Singapore.
The Pentagon initiated a two-day pause in all Navy operations worldwide, beginning Monday, as a result of the incident.
Adm. Richardson, who briefed reporters at the Pentagon, described the action as a "operational pause in the near term" to allow for an overall review of "the [operational] fundamentals at the unit and team level."
He also said the sea service was initiating two major fleetwide inquiries into the incident, which is the second midsea collision in two months between American warships attached to Seventh Fleet and commercial vessels traversing international waters in the Pacific.
#8
Wouldn't it be nice if the Admiral gave some indication about whether the suspected intensionality was on the part of the oil tanker, or on the part of some spontaneously jihadist death-eater on the USS McCain?
Or - some Croatian/Roumanian/North Korean/Russian hackers?
#9
Could it be that in this case, since the tanker was the burdened vessel (obliged to give way) and the McCain was the privileged vessel ( in normal circumstances obliged to remain on course) that the collision involved waiting too long on the McCain to realize that the tanker wasn't going to follow the rules. IN the last case, and in other reporting, foreign flag vessels late at night seem to have their vessels under GPS/Nav systems control with no competent officers awake or on the bridge, so the computer didn't know it was obliged to give way, and the McCain waited too long? Not a ship driver {my last vessel command was a 29ft Ericson sloop in Newport Beach, and that a long time ago.)
#10
Do commercial ships have a 'black box' that shows all steering instructions and such for after-action reports?
I'd also be curious to the nationality/religion and other facts about he helmsman of the tanker. Just to rule that line of inquiry out quickly of course.
[OutKickTheCoverage] ESPN issues official statement on moving Robert Lee from Virginia game: "We collectively made the decision with Robert to switch games as the tragic events in Charlottesville were unfolding, simply because of the coincidence of his name. In that moment it felt right to all parties. It’s a shame that this is even a topic of conversation and we regret that who calls play by play for a football game has become an issue."
Additionally, I had a conversation with a senior employee at ESPN who wanted to make it clear that this was not a mandate or a demand from the company, that it was a people first decision and that assignments are switched all the time.
...
In a story that seems made for The Onion, but is actually true, according to multiple Outkick fans inside ESPN MSESPN decided to pull an Asian college football announcer named Robert Lee off the William and Mary at University of Virginia college football game because they were concerned that having an ASIAN FOOTBALL ANNOUNCER NAMED ROBERT LEE would be offensive to some viewers.
Did I mention that Robert Lee is Asian?
Is this even real life anymore? This might even be worse than MSESPN apologizing for the fantasy football slave draft a couple of weeks ago.
To avoid offending left wing idiots Robert Lee, the Asian college football announcer, not the Confederate General who died in 1870 and shares a name with him, was switched to the Youngstown State at Pittsburgh game and Dave Weekley will now call the William and Mary at University of Virginia game.
Unless someone tries to take down Dave Weekley statues between now and kickoff.

Other names for consideration by ESPN. In addition to "Ha Ha Clinton-Dix", there are many other sports figures who's names are titillating or chuckle-worthy. Names.
