Author says ‘you can't underestimate the dangers' of Ivanka Trump, Kushner
The author of a new book focused on the President's daughter Ivanka Trump and son-in-law Jared Kushner's influence in the Trump administration warns of the danger she believes the two White House advisers present.
“I think that you can't underestimate the dangers of these two,” Vicky Ward, the author of “Kushner, Inc.,” told CNN's John Berman Wednesday during an interview on “New Day.” “And I think that actually (President Donald Trump) knows that.”

MoveOn has it right — Democratic candidates are rightfully boycotting AIPAC.

Who Is Assisting China in Its Technology Push?
Digging in this field of inquiry, one can learn how the Israeli company “flows” US intelligence-related technology from the US and elsewhere through an intermediary so that certain surveillance systems in China can benefit directly from what looks like technology developed in Israel.
Net net: If one wants to understand how US technology moves from the US, the subject must be examined in terms of academic programs, admissions, policies, and connections as well as from the point of view of US company investments in technologies which received funding from Chinese sources routed through entities based in Israel.

New York Times
As political actors, the couple are living exemplars of the Dunning-Kruger effect, a psychological phenomenon which leads incompetent people to overestimate their ability because they can’t grasp how much they don’t know.
Partly, the Jared and Ivanka story is about the “reality distortion field” — a term one of Ward’s sources uses about Kushner — created by great family wealth. She quotes a member of Trump’s legal team saying that the two “have no idea how normal people perceive, understand, intuit.” Privilege, in them, has been raised to the level of near sociopathy.
