Every president of the United States has recited the oath of office as the official start of their presidency. The oath is found in Article II of the Constitution. It contains 35 words and goes as follows: "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

In December 2009, less than one year into his first term in office, President Barack Obama was given the Nobel Peace Prize, joining a only two other U.S. Presidents, Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson who received the prize while in officer. Former President Jimmy Carter received the prize in 2002, two decades after his term ended. President Obama joins an even smaller group of African Americans who have won the prize. Only Ralph Bunche and Dr. Martin Luther King preceded him. President Obama gave the address that appears below, “A Just and Lasting Peace,” in Oslo, Norway, upon receiving the Prize...

#TOMMYNATIONPOLITICS #POLITICS #LIVESTREAM TOMMY NATION ANNOUNCES THE AUGUST LIVESTREAM LINEUP OF GUESTS, ANNOUNCES THE PREMIER TOPIC OF DISCUSSION, & COMMENTS ON THE POLITICAL DEVELOPMENTS... The Washington Post reveals the extent to which top officials in both the Bush and Obama administrations misled the public about widespread failures in America’s eighteen-year war in Afghanistan. The story described the ways in which the original mission of dismantling the Taliban was expanded with time, and how American money was funneled into the war despite a shared understanding among many U.S. officials that it was helping spawn corruption in the fledgling democracy. What impact — if any — will the stark findings have on Capitol Hill, the Pentagon, or American voters?

Former US intelligence contractor and fugitive whistleblower Edward Snowden has been granted permanent residency in Russia, his lawyer said on Thursday. Snowden revealed in 2013 that the US government was spying on its citizens, has been living in exile in Russia since the revelations. His lawyer Anatoly Kucherena said on Thursday that his residency permit was extended and is now indefinite, a situation made possible by recent changes to Russia's immigration law. Kucherena said the application was filed in April but the process was delayed by the coronavirus pandemic. Snowden is wanted in the United States on espionage charges after he leaked information showing that agents from the National Security Agency (NSA) were collecting telephone records of millions of US citizens. Earlier this year, US President Donald Trump said he would "take a look" at pardoning Snowden but has not made further comment on the matter. A 2015 petition calling on then-president Barack Obama to pardon the whistleblower and privacy advocate was rejected by the White House.

"Three-Five-Zero-Zero" is an anti-war song, from the 1967 musical Hair, consisting of a montage of words and phrases similar to those of the 1966 Allen Ginsberg poem "Wichita Vortex Sutra". In the song, the phrases are combined to create images of the violence of military combat and suffering of the Vietnam War. In its first line, for instance, "Ripped open by metal explosion" is followed by "Caught in barbed wire/Fireball/Bullet shock...".

How exactly did twenty years, billions of dollars, and thousands of American lives result in the total collapse of Afghanistan? The United States has nobody to blame but itself, according to a scathing new report from the top U.S. watchdog for the Afghan reconstruction effort… Right from the outset, the U.S. government never formed a coherent strategy to rebuild Afghanistan, SIGAR wrote. Why was that? Because the U.S. government does not have a qualified and capable agency to take the lead on rebuilding countries. For example, the Department of State is supposed to lead reconstruction efforts, SIGAR wrote, but it does not have the resources to lead and own the Afghanistan effort. The Department of Defense, meanwhile, is awash in resources to execute strategies, “but not for large-scale reconstruction missions with significant economic and governance components."

You have heard of the Bloods and Crips, the Hells Angels and Bandidos, the Italian Mafia and Russian mob – well these street gangs, biker gangs, and Mafioso’s have nothing on the two largest, most powerful and dangerous criminal gangs in the United States. The two apex gangs control trillions of dollars’ worth of assets and together maintain the unquestioning loyalty of more than one hundred million Americans. Their gang influence extends beyond the United States to much of the modern world. The two most dangerous criminal gangs in the United States are known as the Democratic Party and the Republican Party.

With Election Day on Saturday, voters face a host of choices for the Dallas City Council. Fourteen of 15 seats are up for election this year. Fifty-six candidates have filed to run against 11 incumbents, and three seats are up for grabs. City Council members are elected for two years, and seats in Districts 2, 11 and 13 are open because the incumbents have reached term limits, making them ineligible to run this cycle.

While today we marvel at the extraordinary accomplishment of our Founding Fathers, their own reaction to the US Constitution when it was presented to them for their signatures was considerably less enthusiastic. Benjamin Franklin, ever the optimist even at the age of 81, gave what was for him a remarkably restrained assessment in his final speech before the Constitutional Convention: "…when you assemble a number of men to have the advantage of their joint wisdom, you inevitably assemble with those men, all their prejudices, their passions, their errors of opinion, their local interests, and their selfish views." He thought it impossible to expect a "perfect production" from such a gathering, but he believed that the Constitution they had just drafted, "with all its faults," was better than any alternative that was likely to emerge... The conditions that threaten to undermine our sense of nationhood, bound up in the debate over slavery and manifested in intense sectional conflict during the pre-Civil War era, are today both more complex and diffuse. Some of today's conditions are part of the tragic legacy of slavery--a racial climate marked too often by mutual mistrust and misunderstanding and a condition of desperate poverty within our inner cities that has left many young people so alienated that any standard definition of citizenship becomes meaningless. More commonly, but in the long run perhaps just as alarming, tens of millions of Americans have been turned-off by the corrupting effects of money on the political system. Bombarded with negative advertising about their candidates, they express their feelings of alienation by staying home on election day. If there is a lesson in all of this it is that our Constitution is neither a self-actuating nor a self-correcting document. It requires the constant attention and devotion of all citizens. There is a story, often told, that upon exiting the Constitutional Convention Benjamin Franklin was approached by a group of citizens asking what sort of government the delegates had created. His answer was: "A republic, if you can keep it." The brevity of that response should not cause us to under-value its essential meaning: democratic republics are not merely founded upon the consent of the people, they are also absolutely dependent upon the active and informed involvement of the people for their continued good health.

Horton vows to protect the speck, declaring, “A person’s a person, no matter how small.” In this way, this popular children’s book promotes a lesson of equality—one that Dr. Seuss himself had to learn.
