Germany: Trump victory to spur EU military union
Donald Trump’s victory, as well as Brexit, ought to speed up plans for EU defence integration, Germany has said. “Europe needs common political will for more security policy relevance. The outcome of the election in America could provide an additional impetus”, German defence minister Ursula von der Leyen said in an opinion article in the Rheinische Post, a German newspaper, on Thursday (10 November).

This Could Be Our 1989
What lies in ruins here is not common decency and morality – much less the character of a whole people and nation – but rather an anachronistic, arrogant, entitled, smug, conceited ruling elite and paradigm. You can see this in the clues that show that the vote was not so much for a particular vision of one man, but against a prevailing model of managing the world. Government is powerful, but not powerful enough to bend reality to its wishes.
Sadly, One Does Not Simply Repeal ObamaCare
Candidate Trump repeatedly called for repealing and replacing the Affordable Care Act during the campaign, but it is unclear what President Trump will actually do about the ACA. It is not clear even with President Trump, and Republican majorities in the House and Senate, whether full repeal is possible and what replacement might look like. Replacement requires something that looks like the ACA: TrumpCare, perhaps?
Obamacare was the Catalyst
Why did Trump win? It wasn’t WikiLeaks. It wasn’t FBI Director Comey. It was an electorate that was profoundly unhappy with the direction of the country. And they were particularly unhappy with President Obama’s signature domestic policy achievement — the Affordable Care Act (ACA) — or as it is commonly known, Obamacare. There's no question that this disastrous program was the main reason for the stunning upset. Voters remembered the hollow promises that if you liked your insurance you could keep it, and that medical costs would fall. Down the election home stretch, voters saw insurers pulling out of healthcare markets all over the county, skyrocketing out-of-pocket costs (deductibles and co-insurance), and steep insurance premium price rises. Premiums for enrollment starting November 1 of this year, just days before the election, increased 25% on average. Some states have huge increases: North Carolina 40%, Pennsylvania 53%, Minnesota 59%, and Arizona 116%.
You're Afraid of Power, Not Trump
You aren’t scared of Trump the person. Trump has been on this earth for 70 years and other than a general distaste for him, no one ever feared for their life because Trump walked the earth. He could do what he wanted because he didn't affect your life. He had no control over you. What you fear is the power he now wields.

FREE TO WORSHIP HIM WITHOUT FEAR
Jordan Hylden on the days "after Election Day." Will they be marked by fear, or "perfect freedom"? We say we are free, but more of us feel alone, afraid, angry, despised, and powerless. The freedom America brought has begun to feel like a freedom from community, shared values, stability, security, family, and dignity. Does it need to be? Do all of those words really mean, without quite saying: My community, our shared values, my tribe’s stability and security and not yours?
FIVE NARRATIVES ON DONALD TRUMP

It’s not that America has never been a disappointment before. It’s not that America has never been an embarrassment. But nowhere in modern memory — not at Abu Ghraib, not in the 2000 election debacle, not in the Monica Lewinsky scandal — has it been as much of a disappointment and embarrassment as it is right now. Donald Trump is president-elect of the United States. God help us all.

[Information from this site may not be reliable.]There are currently two open Board of Governors seats, which will most likely not be filled before the end of President Obama’s tenure. Additionally, both Chair Janet Yellen and Vice-Chair Stanley Fischer’s terms will be up by 2018. Crunch the numbers and you will see that Trump has the opportunity to replace a majority of the Board of Governors and a third of the FOMC with monetary policy hawks during his presidency.

How to Repeal Obamacare: A road map for the GOP
Although repealing and replacing the ACA is closer than ever before, many important details will have to be worked out in the next few months. Moreover, much more needs to be done to put our nation’s health care entitlement programs on a sustainable path. Congress must now honor its commitment to free the country from the ACA and replace it with sensible reforms.

Beyond the Politics of Anger
Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks: This is not politics as usual. The American Presidential election, the Brexit vote and the rise of extremism in the politics of the West are warnings of something larger, and the sooner we realise it, the better. What we are witnessing is the birth of a new politics of anger. It is potentially very dangerous indeed.

In August, an e-mail came to motion picture archivist Carol Swain’s inbox asking about a World War II training film called Security on the March. Richard Herde contacted the Motion Picture unit looking for information about a film his 100-year-old uncle, Corporal Lloyd Heller, had helped make while serving as a tanker in the United States Army. As luck would have it, Heller remembered the exact title of the film, which made it much easier to find, and a beautiful 35mm negative was preserved here at the National Archives. The motion picture preservation lab scanned Security on the March and made a DVD so that Heller could view the film for the first time in over 70 years.
