Michael Hayden is the only official to have served as head of both the National Security Agency and CIA. Once retired from public service, the chief spy for much of the George W. Bush era has always had a difficult time staying out of the headlines.
The polling in Florida continues to look grim for Rubio, whose numbers in the RCP average have been dropping over the last week. Trump almost has a 19-point lead in the average, and according to multiple polls he now also has a substantial lead in the early vote. Barring a massive polling failure on par with the Democratic race in Michigan, Trump will win Florida, and he seems likely to win by double digits. That’s not really a surprise, since Trump has consistently led polling in Floria for more than half a year.
Trump opponents have vowed to break-up his political rallies and Trump in turn encourages his supporters to rough up disrupters. Has political discourse in the US descended into mob rule? Who is at fault and what can we do?

“We want no Gestapo or secret police. The FBI is tending in that direction. They are dabbling in sex-life scandals and plain blackmail. J. Edgar Hoover would give his right eye to take over, and all congressmen and senators are afraid of him.”—President Harry S. Truman
“Don’t Be a Puppet” is the message the FBI is sending young Americans.

Submission to the state is a time-honoured tradition, a concept supported by governing bodies since time immemorial.
In days of yore, men submitted to whichever member of the tribe was the mightiest in battle. By doing so, they stood a better chance of succeeding in battle, thereby diminishing the likelihood of their own death or enslavement.
