Academic thoughts on all things popular culture
Trigger Warnings, Evidence-Based Policy and Media Literacy

With complete disregard for irony, Conservatives are sometimes triggered laughably easily.
When the brown folks forget their station, for example. When we ladies get too ballsy. And God forbid if anyone dares fuck with the fairytales.
A couple of weeks ago a brouhaha centred on teaching media literacy through fairytales. Apparently any attempt to teach children to critically think about our culture's parade of pretty-and-pitiful princesses is just feminism run amok. No one, of course, was actually advocating for the abolition of these stories but, predictably, Conservatives - fervent in their opposition to anything that looks like change or smells like independent thinking - packaged the story as political correctness gone awry. Again.
This week and a new incarnation of the untouchable topic of children's reading lists has reared its head, this time coupled with that well-established boogeymen: trigger warnings. Once again, the (albeit very complicated) challenge of managing risk in secondary schools has become another story of those special snowflakes birthed by leftie educators.
I've written about trigger warnings quite a bit (here and here, for example), and participated in extensive media commentary about them (see this or that). In brief, I think that while they are often well-intentioned that frequently they lead to unintended, and sometimes completely unpleasant consequences.
This week the story is rooted in a debate over whether the novels assigned to VCE students should come with content warnings. Some assigned books, apparently, are a tad depressing.
I won't go so far as to claim that trigger warnings have become trendy, but they've certainly become the default response of education institutions who want to both demonstrate compassion and to avoid litigation.
With universities widely implementing these warnings, it's no surprise that the flow-on effect is other education settings musing on their merit. Hence the debate on whether they are necessary in the secondary school English classroom.
One of my central concerns with trigger warnings is the absence of an evidence base demonstrating efficacy. Where is the research that documents the trauma experienced by students at the hands of educators teaching controversial content? Where, equally, is the proof that students who are forewarned about such material fare better? Where is the nuanced discussion about the true complexity of triggers? Where is the acknowledgement that simply saying the word rape, or reading a story about a harmful culture practice is no more likely to revictimise than certain smells or songs or weather?
Another concern relates to my worry that we have become a culture scared of emotions. Is there anything more powerful than being moved by a book, by a film? Do we not in fact, praise media that can bring us to tears, to fear, to states of arousal? Why then, are we so frightened about young people feeling things when they read? When they sit in a classroom? Why have we decided that students are best off being warned about the possibility of emoting? Why are we so hesitant to acknowledge that - shock horror - having emotions is a pretty good clue that we're alive?
Reading, writing, arithmetic, sure, but one far more important skill is learning how to think. Every semester I tell my students that I have no interest in teaching them what to think, but how to do so. If we were all taught media literacy - if our culture truly valued critical thinking - I dare say the term "fake news" would have made much less of a cultural dent.
Schools equally need to cultivate an interest in encouraging resilience. That students can read a book, that they can have a cry - that they can, occasionally, feel like they want to roll into the foetal position and have a good hard sob - but that this too shall pass. That no single emotion is the be all and end all.
I don't actually have a problem with students being told in advance that a novel covers challenging material. Truth be told, I think in the current political climate doing so is unavoidable. That said, is challenging material not the very reason that the book was assigned in the first place? Is not learning how to think about challenging material the very reason for the classroom?
I'm unquestionably concerned about classroom snowflakes. But I have far greater concerns about a culture that has become so incredibly uncomfortable with emotion - and so ready to buy into risk-anxieties - despite the paucity of evidence.

Duhem and Kuhn
Notes taken on November 21, 2014 by Edward Tanguay
before Karl Popper developed falsification as a possible method of science
Pierre Duhem (1861-1916)
"No scientific hypothesis can ever be tested in isolation, but only in conjunction with other main hypotheses and auxiliary hypotheses"
we don't test Newton's law of gravity by itself
three laws of motion
number of planets
whether attraction between planets is weaker than the sun and the planets
we deduce a piece of evidence from these hypotheses
but often we can't find it
how should we then interpret this negative result?
clearly something has gone wrong with one or more of the hypotheses
but we don't know which hypothesis it is
this is the underdetermination of theory by evidence
1962 book: "The Structure of Scientific Revolutions"
changed our way of thinking about science
began career as a physicists, then went to history of science
science doesn't have a distinctive method whether inductive or deductive
we need to rethink the notion of progress in science
changed image of science
we used to see science as building on and improving on predecessor
each on delivering a more accurate image of nature
Kuhn argued science goes through three phases
1. normal science
scientists work within a scientific paradigm
scientists work on a specific text book, e.g. Newton's Principa
all scientific activity arises from this textbook tradition
in spite of what Popper said, in periods of normal science there is no attempt to falsify or refute scientific theory
occurs when a sufficient number of anomalies accumulate
scientific community shifts to new paradigm
new paradigm should be able to solve the anomalies that the old paradigm could not
paradigms are not truer than another but are better than others in their capacity of solving problems
scientific revolutions
there was a shift from Popper falsification to Kuhn problem solving
had implications in the debate on the rationality of theory choice
Kuhn argued that scientific paradigms are incommensurable, they lack a common measure for rational choice
but we can compare paradigms

" Labor has vowed to ramp up the Australian government's efforts to prevent people from becoming unwell if it wins the upcoming federal election.
The pledge comes as Health Minister Greg Hunt will have the opportunity to spruik the coalition's record on improving people's health in a debate with Labor's health spokeswoman Catherine King.
The pair will go head-to-head at the National Press Club today ;
You can watch the debate from 12.30 pm on ABC TV
See media report Part 1 Below
" The health of Australians is far more likely to be advanced by spending money on preventing disease than it is curing or treating illnesses.
With an aging population and chronic disease snowballing, the current focus on health through the prism of hospitals and drugs is unsustainable.
Many Australians would be shocked to learn that less than 2% of the health budget is spent on prevention. We are calling for that to change.
Most OECD countries commit around 5% of health spending to prevention. On this Australia is lagging behind."
We have shown what can be done by driving down smoking rates. While more needs to be done on tobacco, there is an urgent and growing need to apply that lesson to obesity, physical activity and alcohol consumption. "
PHAA CEO, Terry Slevin from the Public Health Association of Australia (PHAA) who recently launched its election manifesto at its Justice Health conference in Sydney in an attempt to pivot the health conversation towards prevention. See Part 2 Below

PHAA Policy Priorities 2019
" The AMA is calling on Health Minister, Greg Hunt, and Shadow Health Minister, Catherine King, to use today's Health Policy Debate at the National Press Club to fill the gaps in their respective overarching visions for the future health system in Australia.
The Australian health system is one of the best in the world, if not the best. But it will take strong leadership, hard work, good policy with long-term strategic vision, and significant well-targeted funding to keep it working efficiently to meet growing community demand.
"The health system has many parts, and they are all linked. Governments cannot concentrate on a few, and neglect the others. Otherwise, patients will be the ultimate losers. Whole patient care cannot be done in silos, in parts, or in isolation.
"Health is the best investment that any government can make. We expect to hear more detail on their intended investment from the major parties at the National Press Club today,"
Dr Tony Bartone AMA President See Part 3 Below
" We don't need more reviews. Experience has shown stopgap health policies won't pay in the long run. The evidence here and internationally tells us that the best overall returns for the health dollar will come from nationally co-ordinated preventive health measures to counter modern malaises of obesity and chronic illness.
Closely linked to the prevention drive should be better resourced primary health services — GP-led team care for the growing number of chronically ill and older patients. People want affordable, convenient and reliable care close to home "
AMA President, Dr Tony Bartone, said today that Labor has announced a comprehensive framework to re-energise a coordinated national preventive health strategy to keep Australians fitter and healthier and out of hospital.
Dr Bartone said the broad range of initiatives is welcome, but will ultimately require significantly greater funding to be truly effective for the long term. "Investing in preventive health saves hundreds of millions of dollars in health costs and improves lives,"

'We urge Health Minister Greg Hunt and Shadow Minister Catherine King to outline how they are going to get better bang for the health buck at today's National Press Club debate', says Australian Healthcare and Hospitals Association (AHHA) Chief Executive Alison Verhoeven.
'The Coalition, Labor, and the Greens are all promising welcome extra health dollars and reduced out-of-pocket costs for electors should they win government—but public commitment to getting better value for those dollars has been muted.
See AHHA Press Release Part 5
NACCHO has developed a set of policy #Election2019 recommendations that if adopted, fully funded and implemented by the incoming Federal Government, will provide a pathway forward for improvements in our health outcomes.
We are calling on all political parties to include these recommendations in their election platforms and make a real commitment to improving the health of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and help us Close the Gap.
With your action and support of our #VoteACCHO campaign we can make the incoming Federal Government accountable.
See NACCHO Election 2019 Website
NACCHO Recommendation 6.Allocate Indigenous specific health funding to Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisations
Transfer the funding for Indigenous specific programs from Primary Health Networks to ACCHOs.
Primary Health Networks assign ACCHOs as preferred providers for other Australian Government funded services for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples unless it can be shown that alternative arrangements can produce better outcomes in quality of care and access to services
Part 1 Media Coverage
Health has been a key battleground for the election campaign so far, with both major parties spending weeks trying to convince Australians they will be best placed to look after them when they're sick.
Labor has vowed to spend $2.3 billion over four years on improving the coverage of cancer services on Medicare and wants to spend an extra $2.8 billion on public hospitals.
But the coalition says it has funded hospitals at record levels, because its strong economic management has given it the cash to do so.
Mr Hunt has also argued his government has made far more medicines affordable by listing them on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme, which means they are subsidised by the government.
Improving the mental health of young and indigenous Australians is also in the coalition's sights, with the party promising an extra $42 million for services that would do as much if it wins the national poll.
Labor has now turned its attention to stopping people from becoming ill in the first place, pledging $115.6 million worth of initiatives to promote health and prevent disease.
The prevention package includes implementing Australia's first National Obesity Strategy.
That will involve spending $39 million over three years to roll out a national anti-obesity marketing campaign.
Smokers would be targeted by a separate $40 million anti-smoking campaign over four years to reduce cancer rates.
Money would also go toward a sun protection awareness campaign and initiatives to drive up early detection of bowel cancer.
Labor also wants to reduce harmful drinking, vowing $10 million worth of targeted campaigns, delivering warning labels on alcohol packaging and doing more to limit alcohol advertising to children.
Ms King stressed that almost a third of Australia's burden of disease is preventable.
Every dollar spent on preventing people from becoming sick through lifestyle factors delivers almost $6 in health and productivity benefits, she said.
"Prevention is better than cure – both for our own health and the country's."
Part 2 PHAA
Australia invests a meagre 1.7% of the health system spending on preventative health – one of the lowest levels of the OECD economies. @_PHAA_ says we must match the world's best practice of 5% to advance the health of Australians.
The recent launch of the PHAA Immediate Priorities 5-point plan called for:
Setting the target of 5% of Australia's health budget to focus on prevention
Protecting kids from marketing of tobacco, alcohol, junk food
Investing in sustained and effective community education programs on tobacco, healthy eating, alcohol and being physically active
Focusing on improved health for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander adolescents, and
Curbing climate change with clear and effective action to ensure a healthy planet.
This plan was launched at our Justice Health conference to emphasise the importance of focusing on the people of greatest need.
"Those who come in contact with the justice system are often the most vulnerable. People with mental health issues, drug and alcohol problems, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are all overrepresented in our jails. If we aim for a fair go for all Australians, that requires us to focus our attentions on those with the greatest need."
"If we get this right, we can add at least five more good years to people's lives so they can enjoy the fruits of their labour, the celebrations and successes of our families and the people we love for longer. Surely this is a goal we all must share and pursue."
"Health experts have the solutions; parliamentarians simply need to act. "
Part 3 AMA
The AMA is calling on Health Minister, Greg Hunt, and Shadow Health Minister, Catherine King, to use today's Health Policy Debate at the National Press Club to fill the gaps in their respective overarching visions for the future health system in Australia.
AMA President, Dr Tony Bartone, said that the AMA has welcomed announcements from the major parties of new funding and strategies for public hospitals, cancer care, primary care, dental care for pensioners and seniors, Indigenous health, the lifting of the Medicare rebate freeze, and the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS), among others.
"The AMA will compare and contrast these policies and publicly rate them accordingly before election day," Dr Bartone said.
"But we need to see the major parties announcing the missing pieces from their health care vision over the next two-and-a-half weeks, starting today.
"As the population ages and more people are living longer with multiple complex and chronic conditions, it is vital that Australia has a robust, connected, and holistic strategy to ensure improved health outcomes for patients throughout life.
"The big gaps include aged care, broad mental health strategies, comprehensive primary care and general practice investment, the private health sector, and prevention.
"Health is the best investment that any government can make. We expect to hear more detail on their intended investment from the major parties at the National Press Club today," Dr Bartone said.
The AMA's health policy wish list – Key Health Issues for the 2019 Federal Election – is available at https://ama.com.au/article/key-health-issues-2019-federal-election
The AMA will issue a health policy scorecard in the final week of the campaign.
Public Release. View in full here.
Part 4 Preventive measures the most effective health policy prescription
Health is once again a target for billions of taxpayer dollars in election promises that may soothe but never heal community concerns.
There has been no shortage of diagnoses about what ails the health system. A feature of Australia's health policy in the past decade has been the preponderance of probes into various elements of the health sector, ranging from system-wide inquiries to more focused reviews of troubled areas.
The Coalition government, since coming to power in 2013, has instituted a clutch of reviews into key problem zones: primary care for the chronically ill, mental health, private health insurance, out-of-pocket medical costs, regulation and remuneration of pharmacies, and the efficacy of high-cost Medicare benefits.
These reviews produced various ideas for change and improvement, but community unease about health still creates a spike in public opinion surveys.
There were two recurring concerns raised by respondents to a recent survey conducted by the Consumers Health Forum. The issues were cost and uncertainty. These are worry points often reflected in the focus of the health policies announced so far in this federal election campaign.
The out-of-pocket costs dilemma confronting so many patients in Australia also is often connected to a widespread sense of uncertainty about healthcare and its co-ordination — what care is needed, its cost and where to go for appropriate treatment.
Our survey found most people were satisfied with the quality of the healthcare they received. However, a third encountered difficulties at every stage of the healthcare process, such as finding the right place to get care, deciding which provider to see and getting to see the provider they needed.
The unease about care costs and uncertain access to co-ordinated care have prompted a variety of responses from the political parties.
Labor has proposed a plan to reduce out-of-pocket costs for cancer patients; the Coalition is pledging support for streamlined access to integrated care for the over-70s and a new website detailing medical specialists' fees. And both sides promise more hospital funding and a continuing stream of new drugs on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme.
But there remains the reality that we are getting piecemeal measures when what is needed is a holistic approach with overarching strategies reflecting all of the modern world's knowledge about the causes of ill health and our capacity to avoid ill health.
We are proposing that the next federal government give priority to three areas: childhood obesity, public dental services and primary healthcare. We don't need more reviews. Experience has shown stopgap health policies won't pay in the long run. The evidence here and internationally tells us that the best overall returns for the health dollar will come from nationally co-ordinated preventive health measures to counter modern malaises of obesity and chronic illness.
Closely linked to the prevention drive should be better resourced primary health services — GP-led team care for the growing number of chronically ill and older patients. People want affordable, convenient and reliable care close to home,
The political default on health is to offer more and bigger hospitals. We need to rebalance the investment to give more focus on comprehensive care in the community that reduces our dependence on hospitals.
Obesity is a dominant factor in chronic illness yet as a nation we have no coherent, effective strategy to counter poor diet and promotion to children of unhealthy food and drink, and to take other more practical measures, such as overcoming urban planning and transport obstacles to routine activities such as walking.
Modern economies and digital technology have brought new levels of consumer control and understanding to most corners of society. Yet health, despite the expertise of its practitioners and reliance on precision record-keeping elsewhere in healthcare, lags behind 21st-century potential when it comes to communications with patients. Instead, we as a wealthy country have hundreds of thousands of people each year putting off having scripts filled, seeing a specialist or living with the misery of toothache because they can't afford a dentist.
Australia's health system remains less efficient than it should be and federal-state divisions in health funding and the resistance of practitioners to change, or lack of support for practitioners to change, are significant impediments. We have seen in recent years welcome strides towards a more transparent and accountable health system. Consumers must be empowered with more government support for the development of consumer leadership and patient-centred care to improve not only health outcomes but also the working experience of clinicians.
Transforming services by encouraging consumer-influenced health services and patient engagement in healthcare can bring long-term benefits to Australia's physical and fiscal health.
Leanne Wells is chief executive of the Consumers Health Forum of Australia.
'For example, do you really need that extra appointment with the doctor to renew a script or have a specialist referral updated? Do you really need to pay a GP to carry out a treatment or give an injection when a trained nurse can do it just as effectively? Why are some treatments still subsidised by Medicare when more effective evidence-based treatments are available? Why get that injury treated in hospital when it could be done just as well at your local primary care clinic for a fraction of the cost?
'We need to shift the whole system to value-based healthcare—that is, better outcomes for patients relative to costs—or the right care in the right place at the right time by the right provider.
'This will often involve teams of health professionals providing ongoing care for chronic conditions—this has been proven internationally to be more effective, more timely and better value than traditional care systems.
'Integrated or "joined up" care driven by results is better for the patient than care driven by number of consultations attended and/or the size of the patient's wallet.
'To their credit, during its current term the Government initiated a review of all Medicare item numbers for relevance and effectiveness. Progress has been limited to date, but the review is ongoing.
'The Government also initiated an inquiry into out-of-pocket costs—but included only one consumer representative in a sea of medical and private health interests. One proposed outcome of the inquiry—compelling specialists to publish their fees on a government website—while laudable, is yet to see the light of day.
'The Government introduced the Health Care Home model of integrated care, which is a move toward value-based healthcare. But it failed to attract enough 'buy-in' from medical practitioners or consumers—in part because of insufficient funding and poor planning. The Coalition's recently announced policy of rewarding GP practices for people over 70 signing up or registering with the practice for chronic disease care is a renewed step in the right direction. So is the commitment of both major parties to Primary Health Networks tasked with introducing innovative and value-based primary healthcare regimes tailored to local circumstances.
'The $2.3 billion investment pledged by Labor to address out-of-pocket costs for people with cancer is a much-needed response to the significant and unexpected costs faced by many people with cancer. But, apart from a suggested oncology Medicare item number available only through bulk-billing of patients, there is little detail as yet on how the initiative will ensure real value for patients while sidestepping unnecessary low value care.
'Labor's proposed Health Reform Commission, and the Greens' similar proposed single funding agency are encouraging signs of political will to achieve better value and less waste by ending the "blame game" between various levels of government—but we would like to see more concrete actions detailed in their policies.
'As a nation we also need to invest in appropriate Australian research into best value care—AHHA has recently launched the Australian Centre for Value-Based Health Care to support this work.
'We call on all parties and candidates to commit to better bang for the health buck—a revamped value-for-money health system focused on what matters to patients', Ms Verhoeven said.

Report A Tip
BETRAYAL: Democrat Party Donor Will be Appointed to Senate by Georgia Governor Over Trump Favorite, According to Report
Deplorables
Gov. Brian Kemp has shown his true colors.
Republican Georgia Governor Brian Kemp is expected to reject President Donald Trump's conservative choice to the U.S. Senate, and instead appoint the spot to an establishment-friendly moderate when he makes his announcement next week.
Kemp is anticipated to select women's basketball team owner Kelly Loeffler to replace Senator Johnny Isakson, who is stepping down at the end of 2019 due to health issues. Trump would have preferred Congressman Doug Collins, one of his strongest defenders in the U.S. House, to receive the appointment.
Second Amendment Daily has reported that Loeffler has donated to many gun-grabbing Democrats in the past. They noted that she donated $2,000 to Sen. Debbie Stabenow of Michigan, and another $2,000 to former Sen. Chris Dowd of Connecticut. She also gave $500 to Congressman Bob Etheridge of North Carolina.
Trending: GOP Establishment Threatens President Trump with Impeachment Unless He Denies Election Fraud
Loeffler has also given significant donations to Democrats within her home state of Georgia. She gave $2,000 to former Sen. Tom Harkin, and another $2,000 donation to Congressman David Scott. She sent a donation of $1,000 to former Congressman Jim Marshall, and an additional $500 to former Congressman John Barrow. Her donations have helped to keep these Democrats in power in Georgia throughout the years, and now she will be rewarded by Republicans with a Senate seat.
POLL: Will Republican Senators vote to impeach Trump and ban him from running in 2024?
POLL: Will Republican Senators vote to impeach Trump and ban him from running in 2024?*
Yes, the GOP establishment wants Trump gone forever.
No, they are too afraid of Trump's voters.

To establish herself as a power player in the GOP, Loeffler donated $750,000 to a pro-Mitt Romney Super PAC in 2012. She serves as co-owner of the Atlanta Dream, a franchise for the massively unpopular and unprofitable Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) that serves as little more than a welfare program for lesbianic thugs.
The WNBA is explicitly in favor of murdering children in the womb, and they have partnered with abortion providers to oppose President Donald Trump's support of the pro-life agenda. Their 2018 "Take A Seat, Take A Stand" program funneled money into the coffers of Planned Parenthood and other anti-Christian special interest groups.
"We're so grateful the WNBA is standing up for the 2.4 million patients who rely on Planned Parenthood and supporting issues that affect the health, well-being, and success of women and girls," said Dawn Laguens, Executive Vice President of Planned Parenthood Federation of America. "Players have used their platforms to bring attention to inequality and, through 'Take a Seat, Take a Stand,' the WNBA is giving fans an opportunity to join them in the fight for social change."
Loeffler also sits on the board of the Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta, which is the state's leading abortion provider. Pro-life organizations are urging Kemp to deny Loeffler the appointment because of her prominent role in facilitating abortions throughout Georgia.
"We're past the point of ever being willing to accept sort of a passive argument for someone's pro-life advocacy or pro-life position," said Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of Susan B. Anthony's List. "All we've seen is evidence of her leadership positions and what she's failed to do with them."
"After the Senate gains made by conservative and pro-life candidates in the 2018 election, this would be a huge setback," said Tom McClusky, president of March for Life, in a statement.
Kemp struck back with a Twitter post showing contempt for conservative activists concerned about his choice of appointment:
I stand with hardworking Georgians and @POTUS. The idea that I would appoint someone to the U.S. Senate that is NOT pro-life, pro-2nd Amendment, pro-freedom, and 100% supportive of our President (and his plan to Keep America Great) is ridiculous. (1 of 2) #gapol
— Brian Kemp (@BrianKempGA) November 27, 2019
The attacks and games are absolutely absurd. Frankly, I could care less what the political establishment thinks. Happy Thanksgiving! More information after the holiday! (2 of 2) #gapol
Unfortunately for the MAGA faithful, it looks like the establishment has won another Senate seat with Kemp betraying President Trump and the constituents who put him into power.
Rand Paul Warns Third Party Will Rise if Republican Senators Vote with Democrats to Convict President Trump
The GOP is crumbling.
Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) is warning that at least one-third of GOP senators will revolt and leave the party if Republicans join Democrats to convict the president.
This would potentially create the most viable third party in recent political history if Republican leadership is foolish enough to go down this path. Even though he refused to oppose the vote steal last week, Paul claims he and many of his colleagues intend to leave the party forever if the Senate goes through with impeachment.
"I didn't agree with the fight that happened last week. I voted against over-turning the election," Paul said while appearing on FOX News on Friday night. "But at the same time, the impeachment is a wrongheaded, partisan notion. If Republicans go along with it, it will destroy the party. A third of the Republicans will leave the party."
"A third of the Republicans will leave the party," Paul added. "This isn't about, anymore, about the Electoral College, it's about the future of the party, and whether you're going to ostracize and excommunicate President Trump from the party. Well, guess what? Millions of his fans will leave as well."
Paul made these responses after Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) publicly flirted with the idea of voting to convict President Trump.
"I have not made a final decision on how I will vote and I intend to listen to the legal arguments when they are presented to the Senate," McConnell said.
Paul is putting McConnell and the rest of the GOP leadership on notice. This is the line in the sand as far as he is concerned.
"They will destroy the Republican Party. If leadership is complicit with an impeachment or if leadership votes for an impeachment, they will destroy the party," Paul said.
"Like I say, I have opposed President Trump when I thought he was wrong, I've been for him when he was right. We did a lot of good things throughout the Trump presidency, and impeachment is purely a partisan thing," he added.
The full segment with Paul and host Laura Ingraham can be seen here:
Big League Politics has reported on the division within the GOP since 10 Republican turncoats in the House join Democrats to impeach Trump for a second time:
Liz Cheney, daughter of Dick, was one of ten GOP House members to vote "yes" on President Donald Trump's unprecedented second impeachment. Then when some were calling on Cheney to resign over her disgraceful vote, Dan Crenshaw, who voted against impeachment, quickly came to her defense and announced his "full support" for her.
"Let's get some truth on the record: @Liz_Cheney has a hell of a lot more backbone than most, & is a principled leader with a fierce intellect," Crenshaw tweeted Wednesday afternoon. "She will continue to be a much needed leader in the conference, with my full support."
"We can disagree without tearing each other apart," he added…
Cheney's vote comes as no surprise. Big League Politics reported on her recent statement in support of Trump's second impeachment, part of which read: "There has never been a greater betrayal by a President of the United States of his office and his oath to the Constitution. I will vote to impeach the President." For this CNN laughably called her the "conscience of Republicans."
The realignment that is happening within the conservative movement might result in the destruction of the Republican Party. President Trump may ultimately destroy the GOP swamp.

5. investing 101
Eric: So I just want to say before I get started that all the content coming after this message is my own opinion for your informational purpose. I am not a financial advisor by any means, and you should use your own opinion and judgment to make investment decisions. Without further ado, let's get to the episode.
[EDM music begins playing and then fades-out]
Eric: Hey there everybody. It's Eric Mueller. Thank you for tuning back into The Eric Mueller Show.
Lately, I have been thinking of how I could best discuss the subject of investing with you all. If you've been following the news or social media recently, you have potentially heard about crazy swings in the stock market with companies such as GameStop and AMC.
You might have also heard the term short squeeze thrown around a bit.
In this [00:01:01] episode of the show, I want to explain some of the components of the stock market in the way that I understand them, and I also want to share with you some tips and strategies that I've learned along the way from my personal experience investing in stocks.
So really the first lesson that I learned from the very beginning was to not be afraid to start with a small initial investment. I realized that you don't need to have a thousand dollars to start investing. In fact, you really don't even need $100 to get going with this. With the multitude of trading apps and investment platforms out there, you can begin building your portfolio with just a few bucks.
Now a portfolio simply stands for an assortment of investments that an organization has ownership of so your portfolio could consist of two stocks, it could consist of 15 stocks, it really varies, but just owning, you know, a conglomerate of stocks becomes your portfolio.
Another brokerage company that I primarily use [00:02:01] for stock Investments is Charles Schwab or just Schwab. I really like their mobile app, and the customer service has been superb any time that I've needed their assistance. In my opinion, Schwab is one of the more traditional brokerage platforms that you could use for investments.
Other traditional options in my opinion include TD Ameritrade, ETrade, Fidelity, Merrill Edge just to name a few that come to mind. On the other hand,there are some more modern options that you could explore for your investing.
Some of these would be like Acorns, Robinhood, WeBull and Stash just to name a few of those as well. So clearly there are plenty of options to get you going. So, how do you pick the right one? Well, I could probably do a whole additional episode exploring the pros and cons of each of those platforms, but for the purpose of this episode, I want you to simply pick a brokerage platform and try it out.
Now I'd recommend that you play [00:03:01] around with each of these options as you grow as an investor to find out which one suits you best long-term, but to start you really just need to pick one of them and make a deposit. A lot of them will offer deposit bonuses as well. Sometimes like Robinhood, there's a free stock when you know, use an invite code from a friend. The more traditional ones like Schwab and Ameritrade, like there's probably not as much of that going on, but some of those more modern mobile based apps will have those things.
For me, I'm satisfied with Schwab. But I've also recently begun to use Robinhood. Now some of this was probably driven by Robinhood being in the news for some of the controversial moves they made in regard to GameStop at AMC stocks just to name a few of those stocks that were in that short squeeze type of situation, but I started using it, and the main reason I wanted to use Robinhood was to invest in cryptocurrency. Now, I'll focus on that in a completely different episode. I think that that would be confusing to start with that.
So, for the purpose of this episode, just remember I use Schwab and Robinhood, [00:04:01] but I'm also experimenting with Acorns. So I was introduced to Acorns by some buddies in pharmacy school. Actually, they were enjoying it and using it. So the one thing I want to mention with Acorns is that it has a really unique feature where it will invest your spare change from your purchases for you. So for instance, if you go to Starbucks and buy a coffee for $5.35, Acorns is going to round that purchase amount up to $6 for instance and invest that $0.65 change for you.
So it allows you to pick an investment strategy as well in regard to the risk. So acorns is pretty unique. I think for a really beginner investor I think it's pretty I think it's pretty useful, and I think it'd be fun for an early investor to start playing around with it and really using that start small strategy to get involved with investing and figure out, you know, the pieces of the stock market that you want to learn about.
The major drawback that I see with acorns is the recurrent fee that it has.
[00:05:01] I really can't remember exactly what that fee is, but I think that it for me at least I got out of it because of that fee, and it was because I wasn't really investing a lot. So if you're not investing a lot of dollars, that fee, I don't even know how much was a couple dollars or something per month, but that can add up if you're only investing like 20 bucks or something. So mainly anyways just do a little bit of research on the various options the various brokerage platforms that I mentioned and just pick one of the platforms you think sounds fun and get after it. Just started investing started exploring the stock market with that platform you pick.
So we're going to pretend that you have selected Schwab for this example. So hey, I commend that choice. I think Schwab's great. You know, it's maybe not as attractive as some of those more modern versions such as you know, the Acorns, Robinhood from that, you know bonus standpoint or just maybe ease of use for an early investor, but for the purposes of this we'll just say you selected Schwab.
So now you got your brokerage platform, and let's say you got $5 queued up in that bank account. [00:06:01] You're ready to get going crafting your own portfolio, and you're ready to become the next Wolf of Wall Street.
I'm just kidding on that part. So with five dollars, I wouldn't say that it's super reasonable to expect to change that in the five hundred dollars overnight or even in a week, but I think that $5 is a great start because you're getting going. I mean you're starting to begin that process of exploring the market and learning how investment can benefit you, and you're also going to be, you know learning how maybe that risk can not pan out sometimes, which I think is also a good lesson.
So overarching advice to you as you begin. I have one simple piece of advice to start with here and that is to stay consistent with investing a little bit of money every week or every two weeks or every month.
Get in the habit of consistently putting money into that brokerage account to invest with.
Now picking stocks is a whole completely different animal because to be totally honest with you, [00:07:01] there is not one person in the world that knows which direction a stock is going to go. Even if they claim to be an expert.
Now, when you get into investing you might hear like, you know of companies such as the Motley Fool or you might know of different programs on CNBC, you know watching Power Lunch or something like that, but these people are analysts that are predicting what they think the market is going to do or what they think a particular company is going to do, but you know, their word is not accurate 100% of the time. That should be fairly obvious. It's just like anything with predicting the weather, anything like that.
You're not going to be right 100% of the time, and this always reminds me of a quote from one of my favorite movies, The Wolf of Wall Street.
So early on in the film, Matthew McConaughey who is one of the lead brokers at a firm that Leonardo DiCaprio is entering into. Matthew's his boss. Leo's, I think on day one or something on Wall Street. He's ready to make a fortune. He's hungry.
But [00:08:01] Matthew takes him out to lunch at this penthouse looking restaurant, it looks crazy cool, and he drops this line on him. He says number one rule of Wall Street, "Nobody and I don't care if you're Warren Buffett or if you're Jimmy Buffett, nobody knows if a stock is going to go up, down, sideways or in circles."
Now, I know that you're probably a little bit sad I didn't do the accent there, and I also censored myself a little bit.
But the piece I want you to take away from that is to just take solace in the idea that you may invest some of your money into stocks that WILL decrease in value.
And that's perfectly normal.
As long as you're making consistent contributions to invest with, I think you're doing it in the right way in my mind.
I think that's the main piece that that you really need to keep your mind focused on is that that consistent effort over time is going to pan out for you. You're going to win some and you're going to lose some on your Investments.
Another tip [00:09:01] that I have for you is to think of your investments as mostly long-term plays. Meaning that the money you're putting into the market or into a particular stock should stay there for a while.
Now you can define a while however you see fit, but I would recommend that you keep your money parked in whichever stock or stocks you choose to invest in for at least a full 30 days.
The reason I recommend this is because 30 days might, and I do say might give you a chance to experience swings within the market.
Now, let's say you buy a stock at $12 per share on day one, and by day six the stock is now sitting at $10.50 a share. So it's gone $1.50 per share.
Now in the short term, you have decreased your invested money.
But now I want you to think and pretend that on day 15 of this example, the stock has fallen even more to $9 a share. Now you feel even more defeated because you've lost more [00:10:01] money.
Now play it forward to day 28, where you see the stock is now rebounded back to $11.87 a share. Oh, man. Thank goodness. You got most of you invested value back.
Now this is obviously a hypothetical example and any stock you have is likely to perform very differently during any given 30-day period of time, but by experiencing the short-term market swing, you can begin to see why you should think of your Investments as longer-term plays most of the time. That is the best methodology in my opinion when you're investing in the stock market.
Now I should mention that we're talking about established companies here when we're talking about investing for the long-term. So we're talking about if you invest in, you know, something like an Amazon or Google or Apple, Chipotle. You know, things like that where you if you invest in them, and those type of established companies, generally speaking your investment will increase over time.
Now the rate at which it'll, [00:11:01] you know increase is pretty variable, but let's just say that, you know, the stock market has an average return over the span of a decade of maybe around 10% or so.
So, you know you invest $100, you're going to make $10 on that. Invest $1,000, you going to make $100 on that. So when you think about the stock market in that way, that is the average return and that average is I mean, you could have years that are much higher and much lower than that, but historically speaking, you're going to make money over time if you play the long game with the stock market
Now that's not to say you can't make money in the short-term. You absolutely can. You can make a lot of money in the short-term. It's generally more risky, but you may have heard of, you know, the term day trader. People that trade stocks within a matter of seconds or minutes. They're in and out of the market like that.
So when you think of those people, I want you to know this thing. I mean, they generally have very very very deep pockets, [00:12:01] and they're able to ride those swings. They're able to invest $25,000 in one position, immediately see it go down to $15,000, and then the next minute go up to $25,000.
So I also want to tell you that a lot of those brokerage platforms that I mentioned, so Schwab and things like that. Those companies require that you have a certain amount of money in your account to even be able to day trade, and that amount on the ones I've researched is $25,000.
So if you want to be a day trader, you need to have $25,000 in your account, but also your account can never go below that value, and that doesn't mean that you can invest $25,000 and say hey, I've got $25,000 there. That means if you invest $5,000, you better have $25,000 still cash in your account. So they have really strict requirements, but that also you know prevents people from doing it who really shouldn't be doing in my opinion, which is good because it's really risky.
But you know, let's say you are really efficient at short-term trading [00:13:01] stocks. So you're not day trading, but you're buying in at a stock on you know, Monday and then the next week Wednesday, you're selling it and profiting off that then. You know pretty short-term, about a week and a half or so. I've done that and made some money doing that. I've also done that and lost some money doing that.
So the whole point really is I mean, if you invest for the long-term most generally speaking, you'll see a positive return. You'll see some profit.
But it's probably not going to be the money, you know on the side that's going to buy you your next Lamborghini tomorrow if you invest for the long-term.
Short term investing can be really fun. Sometimes it can be a little bit like gambling, you know, any stock market investment is somewhat of a gamble, but if you're investing in those companies long-term, you're probably going to win.
So my advice to you would be to do that. Invest for the long-term plays, and see how you do over the course of you know, 2-5 years with consistently putting money away. It's going to profit you in a way that's better than [00:14:01] just putting it in a savings account, and I think it's a little more fun than just throwing it in some type of mutual fund. Where you just own a conglomerate of stocks that someone else is picked, and it doesn't really allow you to analyze the market or really learn really anything about how stocks work and that.
So we've talked about consistent investing, we've talked about investing in, you know, more longer-term plays in the market.
So the last point that I really want to focus on with you is to ride the wave. So you're likely to see many roller coaster type graphs and swings within the performance of your stocks over periods of time. Both in the short term and sometimes in the long term, but hold the faith that most likely your Investments are going to go up as time goes on.
And that's not to say that every stock you have is going to have a positive return. That's why you want to have a diversified portfolio. You want to have investments in many different companies and many different Industries even.
So you know the list that I [00:15:01] gave earlier, you know, you got Amazon and Google and Apple. Okay, well Google and Apple are both technology companies and Amazon is you know, I really like to think of it as an all-inclusive company of every type of really industry, but they're a tech-based company as well.
So you don't want to just throw all your money into those, you want to also have money in different types of industries such as agriculture and oil and gas for example, like you just want to diversify your portfolio.
Even if you were to lose 50% of your investment in 3 month's time. So let's say you put in $200, you bought a couple stocks. 3 months later, you're sitting at $100.
It's obviously not the most ideal situation to be in, but 6 months later, you know, so you're 9 months from your investment time then. Your portfolio might be 12% up. You never know. You're not going to be able to buy low and sell high every time, but you can try to come close.
So, you know while you're riding the wave [00:16:01] you, if you owned stocks like I did when it was March 2020, you saw those things plummet. So when the COVID-19 situation really broke loose, you saw the market tank so to speak.
But historically speaking, the market has always rebounded and that's not to say every company rebounds, but the market itself, you know, if you follow indexes such as the NASDAQ or you know, the Dow Jones. Those will show you that that the market is typically going to rebound.
So really I mean personally, if I had some money sitting to the side to invest and double down on all the stocks that I held in March of 2020, I for sure would've done that. And I would have seen that you know, those stocks are actually now at dollars per share higher than they were even before COVID happened.
So you know, it just really should be a lesson to not only you as an investor, but [00:17:01] just anyone who has interest in the stock market performance for their 401K, you know for different types of retirement investments to just hold the faith and know that historically speaking, the market's going to come back.
And not that you should have everything in your stocks. Not that you should have everything in one particular company, but you should remain faithful that it's likely going to come back, and you know, you really shouldn't be scared to throw a little more in there if you think you want to take a flyer on it.
So I wanted to just quickly touch on some of the current news in regard to the market, especially in terms of the short squeeze and those companies such as GameStop and AMC. You know, the Reddit page r/WallStreetBets, just a few things like that. Just wanted to quickly explain in my own, you know words and thought process what a short squeeze is and just kind of talk about some of those pieces and how they played together.
So basically what you have with a with a short is that you have investors that are betting [00:18:01] against a particular stock. So it's the opposite of a traditional investment. So if you were a true investor in GameStop, you would hope that the price goes up because that's how you're going to make money. So if GameStop was $50 per share and you bought one share, and it now went to $100 a share, like you just made $50.
But shorting a stock is betting on the opposite happening. So you want to buy it at $50 a share and hope it goes down to $25 and then profit off that difference.
Now, you know, you might be thinking how is that possible? How do I buy the opposite of a stock?
Well, and that's where that's where the term short-selling comes into play.
So basically you have someone who wants to short a stock, so they will essentially get the money lent to them from a broker. They will buy the stock. You know, view it as you're buying it with credit. You're buying it with money that's not really yours. And then they will sell that stock back to the broker [00:19:01] in the hopes of buying it later.
You know, sounds a little confusing but just keep thinking of it in terms of your basically investing in a stock in the reverse way. You're buying it to hope it goes down.
But the thing with this is think of it this way.
If you buy a stock at $50, and it goes to $0, you just lost 50 bucks. That's the most you could lose because that's the most you invested.
But if you short a stock at $50 and it goes, you know, the sky's the limit there if it goes up.
If it goes to $300, now that $250, you know spread. You just lost that. So you lost five times the amount that you know put in basically.
But essentially what happened in the short selling and the short squeeze that occurred with GameStop is that there were big hedge funds that were betting on GameStop stock to decrease. So they shorted, in fact they actually [00:20:01] shorted even more than the shares that were available. So they were above a 100% percent, and they ended up losing because people pumped that stock up.
So there was the Wall Street bets page on Reddit, you know, and that was part of it, but there were some other deep pocket individuals involved I believe that that pushed that stock up.
But as people buy a stock that's shorted, the price goes up because the demand for that stock is increasing, but then in order to cover their losses, those people that short sold the stock. They have to also buy shares of that stock to cover, you know, to mitigate some of their losses that they're incurring and that further causes the price to increase.
So that you know, it's being squeezed so that the more that those short sellers have to buy shares, the more the price is going up and the more that people, you know traditional as you might have heard retail investors such as the Reddit r/WallStreetBets people, the more money they pump [00:21:01] in further increases that stock.
So you got two things coming at it increasing that price, and that's why we saw GameStop go to, you know, nearly $500 over the course of a week because of that phenomena.
Now I didn't get in on that before it happened. I wish I would have. You probably have seen if you've been following it, you know, there is one Redditor that he was up to like $17,500,000 or even more than that in terms of the GameStop he owned.
Now, I don't know for sure if he did, but I hope he sold and when he was leading it. I hope that he didn't wait for it to plummet back down. I think you know; it's settled down back around like $60 a share or something like that.
But that's just a little bit as far as how I understand what happened with the short squeeze, and it really is kind of confusing when you try to discuss what a short is. But I want you to just think about it as betting on the reverse of a stock.
So you buy a stock traditionally. you hope it goes up. You short a stock, you're going to buy it with borrowed [00:22:01] money, which is the benefit of that. That's called a margin, buying it on the margin, and we'll talk about that in some future episode. But you're hoping that once you short that stock that you buy it, you know, quote but it at $50, you hope it goes down to $25 and pocket the difference.
So that's a little bit of a lesson on this short squeeze as far as I understand it. If you have anything to add to it. If you think that you know, something was explained in a way that you don't necessarily think that you see it in that way, please let me know.

We've finally emerged from the blanket of cold and the Arctic air, so it's a perfect time to get out and embrace the warmer weather. We've compiled 10 fun spots to take the kids to this Spring in New York that all offer outdoor fun.
Take a family walk on the beach. From the North Shore to the waves of the South shore, there's a beach for everyone on Long Island. Pack a picnic, bring a ball or kite and unplug for a day of collecting shells and playing.
If you live on Long Island like I do, you probably don't make it to the city as often as you'd like with the kids. But spring is such a great time to visit! We have such fun days taking the train in, walking around Rockefeller Center and Times Square and then heading to Central Park. The kids climb the rocks, we people watch, we eat junk from street vendors, listen to the street musicians and throw a few coins in their boxes, and we gaze at the sky scrapers while we listen to the clop-clop of horses hooves. Or take a walk past the Empire State Building- kids love looking straight up at that beauty! If that's not enough to get you to in the city mood, I don't know what is. And all this can be done on a budget of train fare, hot dog and lunch money and maybe a few bucks for a souvenir.
Yes, it's still there if you haven't visited in a while! You've got the boardwalk, the aquarium and over 50 rides. You've got the people for the ultimate people -watching experience, the sea air and the hot dogs (Nathan's Famous). And of course, the Cyclone and the Souvenir shops. And there's a website to tell you more and a park site to entice your kids with ride info.
Bronx, Central park or Queens, it's your choice. The Bronx Zoo is my pick for a full day of fun from camel rides, gorilla walks, monorail viewing of giant elephants and rainforest rooms. So much to see and do and don't forget the Bug Carousel and Butterfly Garden!
We just went a few weeks ago and the Hall of Science is better than ever. It's got a few floors of amazing hands -on science activities for all ages, the hall of mirrors, a super gift shop and an outside area open now in the spring that kids LOVE! See the site for all the info and remember that Sundays are FREE admission from 10-11 AM and Fridays 2-5 PM until July. The science playground, mini gold and 3d theatre all cost a fee though, even if you get in free, but are well worth it. Super place to visit!
A leisurely drive out on the North Fork will put you into the nautical town of Greenport. Spend the early afternoon browsing the shops, taking the kids on the outdoor, partially enclosed carousel and eating lunch at one of the many wonderful cafe's and restaurants then take your car aboard the ferry to Shelter Island for some more exploring. From Shelter Island, another ferry will take you to Sag Harbor where you can again, explore the many shops, eat a wonderful dinner, awe at the giant yachts and even put your feet in the water on the tiny "beach" front area. Wind your way home from Sag Harbor along through the Hamptons for more awesome sight seeing and spur of the moment exploration stops.
Along that ride to Greenport, you may be tempted to stop at the many farm stands and vineyards, but why not save that for another day. The North Fork has a ton, as does the South Fork. If you want to stick closer to home, visit some local farmer's markets on Sundays. Some even offer music and free samples for a nice way to spend a weekend morning. You get to buy fresh LI grown produce, support local farmers and fellow Long Islanders and artisans and enjoy the outside air.
Now that the weather is warm, the Long Island Aquarium and Exhibition Center is a wonderful place to spend the day along the riverfront in Riverhead. The outside area doubles your exhibits to visit and kids can even roll up their pants and wade with the crabs in a shallow supervised water area. There's a game room, a rock wall, ice cream, an arcade and a ride( fee) that offers beautiful views of the River. Inside you'll find the shark tunnel, the touch tanks and many other exhibits. There's a short sea lion show a few times a day too. For an extra cost, you can visit with the birds and butterflies in the Hyatt Hotel exhibit. Cafeteria and gift shop round out your experience. Kids love this place!
The end, as it's known is a town that simply has too many things to list and literally offers something for everyone. Fishing? But of course. Sailing? Boating? Stand up paddle board lessons? Yes. Yes. Yes! Montauk IS mini golfing, miles of hiking, sand dunes, expansive views, horseback riding, shopping and of course eating the freshest fish you will find anywhere. Live music, fairs and festivals , great stores, docks to walk, and of course, the lighthouse to climb. Can it get any better than this town? I think not. Can you tell it's one of my favorite places to visit? It's a world away-you feel like you are on vacation- but a mere few hour drive from the city. Montauk attracts the jet-set and the serious fisherman,visits from families, couples and anyone who wants to drink in the wild air.
This popular sea, air and space museum makes a great day trip , situated on the Hudson River, the Intrepid boasts incredible views of the Statue of Liberty, George Washington Bridge and the New York City skyline and is a 15 minute walk from other popular attractions. Families love to see the Exploreum Interactive Hall, check out the simulators and XD theaters and learn more about everything from space shuttles to submarines and from history to science.

You should strive for a middle ground: Firms are interviewing attorneys because they have a problem. A great way to do this is by piecing the cover letter together in sections and giving each section a heading.
Again, employers want to see that you have good judgment. In other words, identify your desired practice area and get experience in that area, at a firm of any size, even if you need to work for free for a period of time.
Perhaps, you are currently at a regional law firm, but have opportunities to develop business from another state and are looking to lateral to a firm with a national presence.
Share Cover Letter IntroductionThere are two opposite, yet equally wrong, myths about cover letters that we must dispel right away. Perhaps your significant other obtained a position in a different city.
Also, of great importance, you MUST do well in all courses related to your practice area of choice. It is often a good idea to call a possible employer to inquire about the receipt of your packet, and to find out more about their hiring time line.
What you offer them: What are your best legal attributes?
Any other career choices give the hiring committee a reason to doubt your focus and, as such, you will not be given serious consideration. Sometimes you just want "a change," right?
Did you receive specific praise from a client? Letters should be addressed using the appropriate title in the salutation.
If the partner you were primarily working for invited you along to his or her new firm, this speaks volumes about your value as an attorney. While I am not able to reply to all of the notes, I can offer some guidance to assist the majority of these job-seekers.
Anticipate the questions and make the answers easy to find. The best use of the cover letter is not to re-state your resume in paragraph form, but to anticipate questions that the recruitment coordinator or partners may have and to provide these answers in a concise, yet comprehensive way.
If you can anticipate the questions they may have about your submission and use the cover letter to answer the "holes" on your resume in an efficient way, you prevent them from contriving their own explanations and give yourself the opportunity to be seen in the best possible light, and the best chance at securing an interview!
Why should they hire you? I appreciate that there are plenty of new attorneys who are not able to get experience in their desired practice area.
This advice may be controversial, but I recommend that if this is the case, and if you aspire to work in Biglaw, you must select a different practice area to pursue namely, one that is available to you early in your career.Samantha Pierce.
SAMPLE COVER LETTER. Evan Pouliot.
11 Sacramento Street, Apt. 2 Dear Ms. Rho: I am a first year Harvard Law School student and am writing to apply for a summer internship with the American Bar Association Rule of Law Initiative's China Program. I am a first-year law student at Harvard Law School and I am writing to.
At the initial application stage, most employers expect only a resume and cover letter when you are applying directly to them. Other materials that may be requested, however, include: a law school transcript (either unofficial or official), an undergraduate transcript, a writing sample and a list of references.
Those applicants sending a letter of interest for a summer associate position can write an even shorter letter. We understand why you are.
