I extend my heartfelt congratulations to all Americans on the occasion of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. This anniversary stands as an invitation not only to celebrate the nation’s remarkable journey, but also to reflect upon the responsibilities that the sons and daughters of this country bear to one another, and to the generations who will inherit the nation that is being shaped today. https://t.co/jIio4BBg9v

No joke.
I'd actually read all the books and seen several films and TV movies about Watergate by 1997.
That was the year I read Silent Coup, by Len Colodny and Robert Gettlin.
It literally blew my mind that Bob Woodward was a high-level Naval intelligence officer, doing briefings for the JCOS and other intel work.
All the coverage of Woodward's past glossed over his intelligence official past with a line or two about him 'briefly serving in the Navy'.
So a ONI guy doing top level briefings for the Pentagon brass just happens to start a new career as an intrepid cub reporter for the Washington Post, just in time to be fed THE BIGGEST POLITICAL SCANDAL STORY in US history.
Aujourd’hui, nous commémorons l’assassinat de mon ancêtre Louis XVI, décapité le 21 janvier 1793. Il ne s’agit en réalité pas que de faire mémoire de ce roi injustement décapité.
“Nixon is from nothing, self made man who was vice-president of the United States six years after getting out of the navy. Kennedy, I see a silver spoon, Nixon, I see myself.”
It is with deep concern that I am following the developments in Venezuela. The good of the beloved Venezuelan people must prevail over every other consideration. This must lead to the overcoming of violence, and to the pursuit of paths of justice and peace. I pray for all this, and I invite you to pray too, entrusting our prayer to the intercession of Our Lady of Coromoto, and to Saints José Gregorio Hernández and Carmen Rendiles. #PrayTogether
