Mr. President, Your Predecessor Actually Wire Tapped ALL Of Our Phones… What Are You Going To Do About It?
Post Date: 2017-03-05 13:56:29 by Hondo68

President Trump went on a Tweet storm this morning, presumably because at some point in the last 24 hours he learned that his predecessor President Obama reportedly “wire tapped” the phone lines in Trump Tower during the 2016 election campaign. In the process of tweeting, the President actually confirmed what many of us already know – we are being actively monitored by a domestic police state. We can fully sympathize with the President’s outrage over being wiretapped, but it should be no surprise to our readers. Back in 2011 we noted, to accusations of being conspiracy theorists, that everything Americans do is being monitored, including real-time monitoring of our ...
Trump’s Transportation Secretary halts funding for California’s bullet train

The last time we checked in on the construction of California Governor Jerry Brown’s legacy project, the high speed train connecting Los Angeles to San Fransisco, it was already already $3.6 billion over budget and seven years behind schedule. In that piece, I a surmised that federal funding to help complete this project could be axed, as several pricey grants were sitting on the desks of administrators now working for President Trump (who has been defied and mocked by numerous California politicos, including our governor). Sure enough, the Secretary of Transportation has halted the transfer of millions of dollars in funding for the bullet train: In the first big hit to the Bay Area ...
GOP: Not as pro-life as we think

For many people in the South, especially in religious contexts, there seems to be little thoughtful decision to be made about political candidates. Only a few issues are important, and the pinnacle of these issues is whether a candidate claims to be “pro-life.” The candidates who have claimed the moral high ground on this issue have traditionally been Republican, because their policies call for fewer abortions, whether by making them illegal or very difficult to receive. Unfortunately, the recent actions of Republican politicians suggest they have forgotten life continues past the stage of a fetus, in foreigners, refugees and all other humans. Perhaps the most widely supported ...
Former Bush attorney general: Trump right that there was surveillance

Former Attorney General Michael Mukasey on Sunday said that President Trump is likely correct that there was surveillance on Trump Tower for intelligence purposes, but incorrect in accusing former President Barack Obama of ordering the wiretapping. “I think he’s right in that there was surveillance and that it was conducted at the behest of the attorney general – at the Justice Department,” Mukasey told ABC’s “This Week.” Trump on Saturday accused Obama of wiretapping Trump Tower in New York City just before the November election. A spokesman for Obama denied that the former president or the White House ordered any such surveillance. "A cardinal ...

FBI ‘Granted FISA Warrant’ Covering Trump Camp’s Ties To Russia
Post Date: 2017-03-05 09:57:53 by A K A Stone

Two separate sources with links to the counter-intelligence community have confirmed to Heat Street that the FBI sought, and was granted, a FISA court warrant in October, giving counter-intelligence permission to examine the activities of ‘U.S. persons’ in Donald Trump’s campaign with ties to Russia. Contrary to earlier reporting in the New York Times, which cited FBI sources as saying that the agency did not believe that the private server in Donald Trump’s Trump Tower which was connected to a Russian bank had any nefarious purpose, the FBI’s counter-intelligence arm, sources say, re-drew an earlier FISA court request around possible financial and banking offenses ...
Titans of oil world meet in Houston after two-year price war

The biggest names in the oil world come together this week for the largest industry gathering since the end of a two-year price war that pitted Middle East exporters against the firms that drove the shale energy revolution in the United States. When OPEC in November joined with several non-OPEC producers to agree to a historic cut in output, the group called time on a fight for market share that drove oil prices to a 12-year low and many shale producers to the wall. Oil prices are about 70 percent higher than they were the last time oil ministers and the chief executives of Big Oil met in Houston a year ago at CERAWeek, the largest annual industry meet in the Americas. The ebullience as ...

Attorney General Jeff Sessions' path to remake Justice Department may be clearer
Post Date: 2017-03-05 08:36:41 by Gatlin
0 Comments
The political cloud over Attorney General Jeff Sessions' decision to step back from any investigation touching the Trump campaign may have a silver lining for a law enforcement officer who appears preoccupied by violent crime, drugs and immigration. Now that Sessions will no longer oversee any investigation into the 2016 election, his path to continue a refashioning of the Justice Department may be even clearer. Those efforts began almost immediately after he was sworn in last month. While Thursday's announcement may have taken attention from trying to chip away at Obama administration priorities, Sessions seems poised to resume the mission he carried into the job. Sessions' ...

The Justice Department announced Friday it has stopped its federal review of the Memphis Police Department. "The Department of Justice's COPS Office will no longer proceed with the collaborative reform process with the City of Memphis and Memphis Police Department,'' officials said in a news release. The department's Office of Community Oriented Policing Services will still provide technical assistance and training resources to the department, officials said. The Justice Department announced in October under Attorney General Loretta Lynch it would review the department, its policies and its use of force. Memphis Mayor Jim Strickland and Police Director Michael ...

What we know about the GOP's healthcare bill

House Republicans are plowing ahead with their plan to repeal and replace ObamaCare, with committee votes likely next week. While final legislation has yet to be unveiled, an outline and a leaked draft from last month give a general idea of where House Republicans are headed. Their bill would dismantle the central elements of ObamaCare, including its subsidies to help people afford coverage, its expansion of Medicaid, and its mandates and taxes. Democrats warn the bill would jeopardize coverage for the 20 million people who have gained it from ObamaCare, while Republicans argue the health law has failed and needs to be replaced with a less intrusive system. Here are the main things we ...

'Alternative facts': A common legal term
Post Date: 2017-03-05 06:55:09 by 3-Dee
1 Comments
It has been rather shocking to observe the recent tidal wave of derision hoisted upon President Trump’s senior adviser, Kellyanne Conway – shocking not because the derision is the deserved blowback for a foolish, embarrassing utterance, but because the derision has been so spectacularly off base. The phrase “alternative facts” is used in law and is known to most lawyers. I presume that this includes Ms. Conway, who received her degree from George Washington University Law School. It therefore seems eminently possible that Ms. Conway knew exactly what she was saying. Before we move on to some nonlegal examples of alternative facts, here is but one of many ways the ...

You recoil from the crude; you tend naturally toward the exquisite. (Compliments of the Linux Fortune program.) In a low blow move that wouldn’t surprise anyone that was remotely plugged into the political environment, the utterly one-sided media lap dogs of the Democrats pulled off a move that cements the reason why Americans are disgusted with the institution that should be working for the people instead of a political party. Vice President Mike Pence is not happy with the media, and for good reason. Recently they Associated Press released documents that carried with it the private email of his wife, Karen. That email address was sent out Friday, contained within the 29 pages ...
House Republican Health Care Alternative Is ObamaCare-Lite

Congressional Republicans have had nearly seven years to coalesce behind a patient-centered alternative to ObamaCare, but the discussion draft of repeal and replace legislation recently obtained by Politico shows that the GOP alternative to 2010 law is ObamaCare-lite. FreedomWorks has maintained that Congress should use the 2015 reconciliation bill, which passed both chambers, as the floor for the effort in the 115th Congress. The replacement for the law is important and should be done at the same time through reconciliation to get over procedural hurdles in the Senate. We have released letters of support for S. 222 and H.R. 1072, the ObamaCare Replacement Act, introduced by Sen. Rand ...

House Speaker Paul Ryan said during his weekly press conference Thursday that Republican members of the House were planning to introduce a bill that would repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act, the healthcare law better known as Obamacare. [Boldness Added] "After the House returns following the Presidents Day break, we intend to introduce legislation to repeal and replace Obamacare," Ryan said. Ryan said lawmakers were waiting on analysis from the Congressional Budget Office and the Joint Committee on Taxation before releasing the bill.

AP Photos Long on the fringes of American politics, small-government conservatives were closer than ever to mainstream acceptance. Then two things happened: Donald Trump and Jihadi John.Justin Amash can’t seem to concentrate. His eyes keep drifting toward the TV behind me, mounted on the wall inside his congressional office. The 36-year-old representative from Michigan, who arrived in Washington six years ago as a self-described libertarian Republican, is rattling off a list of concerns about the newly inaugurated president, but he is distracted by C-SPAN’s programming: Mick Mulvaney, his close friend and colleague from South Carolina—and a similarly libertarian-minded ...
Sessions to attend Mar-a-Lago dinner with Trump

Attorney General Jeff Sessions is slated to attend a dinner with President Trump and other administration officials on Saturday night at the president's private Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, the White House said. The dinner comes after reports that Trump was angry Sessions recused himself from any investigations into Russia’s interference in the U.S. presidential election. Sessions made the announcement Thursday during a press conference, hours after Trump said he had "total" confidence in his attorney general and said he didn't think he needed to recuse himself. The attorney general's decision came after Democratic lawmakers called for his resignation after ...
TSA rolls out new, 'more intimate' airport pat-downs (“groin scrutiny”)

REDDING, Calif. — The Transportation Security Administration has started using a new and more rigorous pat-down at airports, which one passenger this week likened to “groin scrutiny.”Nico Melendez, a public affairs manager for TSA, confirmed that the new pat-down procedures are supposed to be followed as of Thursday, but he was “limited on what can be shared” about them. He did say that the new "universal pat-down" doesn't involve checking any extra body parts, though.“This standardized pat-down procedure continues to utilize enhanced security measures implemented several months ago, and does not involve any different areas of the body than were ...

Amid Thursday’s over-hyped brouhaha about Jeff Sessions meeting with the Russian ambassador, a curious detail emerged. In Sessions's recusal memo, it was explained who at the Justice Department would be handling any investigations into the Trump campaign's alleged ties to Russia. "Consistent with the succession order for the Department of Justice, Acting Deputy Attorney General and U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia Dana Boente shall act as and perform the functions of the Attorney General with respect to any matters from which I have recused myself to the extent they exist," reads Sessions's official statement on the matter. Except that if the ...
