Miscellaneous:
"It stopped raining immediately when I started speaking."
"Nobody wants to see my tax returns. I won."
"By making me President, we are bringing back power to the people of this country."
"...an education system flush with cash leaves our young and beautiful students deprived of all knowledge."
"We will build new roads, and highways, and bridges, and airports, and tunnels, and railways all across our wonderful nation."

Nonsense:
"When you open your heart to patriotism, there is no room for prejudice."
