Rubio, just now on Maria B – the Intel agencies told the FBI not to use the Dossier, the FBI went ahead and used it, so it’s all the FBI’s fault.
Well, alrighty then.
The Intel agencies Rubio refers to are John Brennan’s working group (lead by CIA). This inter agency-task force created and produced the “dossier” which is one reason Biden will not refer to it as a dossier.
Brennan held separate but unequal meetings with the Gang of Eight in August 2016
(I know they were separate, but I am guessing they were differing meetings). He then baited Harry “Slithereen” Reid to convince James Comey (FBI) to investigate the Trump/Russia collusion theory
I happen to think that Peter Strzok was tasked to Brennan working group where he opened Hurricane Crossfire, but he was also FBI counter Intel and tried to influence Lisa Page and her boss Andrew McCabe. His text to her seem so full of BS. Lisa Page found him out when Clinesmith changed the FISA renewal in June 2017 when the Special Counsel took over 05/17/2017.
That is 3 Trump Investigations all based off of nothing PDJT did. Comedy of errors
First paragraph I write “Biden” should have be “Brennan”. I could have written scumbag and that would have covered both men
What you wrote is my memory as well.
Very ticked off with Maria this morning…

Biden Resting After Surgery For Second Brain Aneurysm
AP – May 4, 1988
https://www.nytimes.com/1988/05/04/us/biden-resting-after-surgery-for-second-brain-aneurysm.html
2nd one – 32 years ago! Small wonder.
Catherine Engelbrecht’s new video. An excellent half hour essay to share.

https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2020/09/an_old_veteran_explains_why_the_flag_should_be_planted_everywhere.html
FTA: “I am 64 years old. I am a veteran.
I have been working from home these last five months…reading, watching, and listening to everything I can…but when I see all the bias, the flatout lies, and the endless deception in the mainstream media and so many other sources…I feel like I have to do something…that “we” have to do something.
I was reminded on this past anniversary of 9/11 of how we as a nation came together after that horrific day. Specifically how we as a nation were all on the same page…the values and truths our country and flag stood for were unquestioned and understood by all. I remember all the American flags that went up…everywhere. In windows, on houses, in yards, on almost every passing vehicle. How neighbor talked to neighbor, stranger talked to stranger…the unity and the love for our country I have never felt stronger.
Years ago, I worked for a company with over 200 people…a call center.
I had always displayed an American flag on the top of my cubicle wall, and one day I was approached by a boss and told I had to take it down. Someone had complained. The cancel culture we see now came earlier than supposed.
I was told I could still display it, but I had to put it on my desk, behind the wall…hidden from all who might see.
I refused, and that night I took home all my personal photos and things I had displayed on my desk, and the next day I brought back two boxes full of items to replace them with.
In those boxes I had my ribbons and insignia from my time in the U.S. Army. I had pictures of the gravesites in France with all the crosses on all the graves. There was a picture of the Statue of Liberty with a chain and lock wrapped around her face and mouth and a warning about how freedom is never free. I had a photo of my great grandfather from World War I with his rifle, his grandson, and a huge American flag. My boss approached me and asked if I was trying to start trouble. I smiled, said no, and proceeded to put up 20 items or more…and that flag never moved.
I tell you this so that I can tell you “the rest of the story” as Paul Harvey liked to say.
They never did push the issue and that flag stayed up every single day that I worked for that company. But the best part of the story is what happened next.
As word got around the floor about what had happened, a wonderful thing took place. An American flag went up on another wall…and then another…and then another. After a few days there were flags everywhere. It was not a planned event…it was just heartfelt love for our country and our shared values…displayed proudly for all to see, by all who cared.
Which brings me to what I would suggest everyone do…
For lack of a better name I call it simply, “Plant a flag, watch it grow.” This is not a flag day thing, this is not a Veterans Day thing…this is a “from this day forward, everyday type of thing.””
Note: emphasis added by P
Wow!!! Best story I’ve heard in a while! Thanks!
Thank you for being a ferocious American! I salute you
Good write, P!
>Lead by example.
Thanks for your –and your family’s service.
Ruth had an awakening on her Death Bed.
She was chatty about her politics, though, wasn’t she…
But, RBG made a dying wish.
So says the Dims…..
However, she did love to interject her personal opinions during 2016 election. It was extremely inappropriate— even Ruth knew it.
Was it recorded? Was it notarized? Was it witness verified? Was it some codocil to her “living will”?
If she was truly that worried then why didn’t she resign under obasshole?
Or did she know something about the obamas that scared the crap out of her?
hahahahahahah
Then it don’t be mattering fools.
She’s dead.
Deader than dead.
Rotting in the grave.
And she died 606 days ago and only a handful of DC knew about it.
Remember her tribute last year? The robe? The “box” on the stool in front of the screen?
Ain’t no Q crap about that event.
Love it Face the Nation..
Cory Booker talking about the Supreme Court nomination.. and the legitemacy of the court being non political… and how important it is…
Let’s talk about Judge Sullivan .. and the Gen Flynn case…
You reap what you sow…
Booker’s showing that he has all the self-awareness and honesty of a cockroach.
You are kind, Jimmy
The Cockroach Anti-Defamation League would like to protest that comment! 😉
Please don’t insult cockroaches.
Booker is up for re-election. He is on the Senate Judiciary Committee. He is about to have the opportunity to make an idiot of himself again (while defaming Spartacus) just before the election.
Booker’s opponent, Rik Mehta, should be so grateful that the good people of New Jersey will get another dose of what a cringe-worthy idiot is representing their state in the senate.
https://rikfornj.com/
what does T-bone think?
The same thing as Corn Pop ??
The same thing as Corn Pop ??
test
Spartacus speaks!
Every time I see Booker, I can’t help but think Biden was referring to him as Corn Pop.
Whether Trump or Obama nominate or not, it still remains the legal prerogative of the Senate majority leader to bring it to a vote or not.
When, in the past, the Senate and Pres’ were of opposing parties, a scotus justice has never been confirmed in last year of a President term – according to what I read yesterday.
This time the Senate and Pres’ are of the same party. Tough toenails. Enjoy the sandwich.
Besides, after what the Dems did to Bork and Clarence Thomas and Kavanaugh, I feel no remorse.
Decency, politeness, propriety, fairness……a fools errand when dealing with these Dem’ gutter carp. The lipstick isn’t going to work. They’re radical animals out of control, without a trace of conscience or civility.
Haven’t seen this kind of “virtue signaling” from them in forever. Hilarious audacity, belongs on Saturday Night Live.
This, from a Dem’ party that has recently publicly stated that they, once back in power, will also end the filibuster rule for just regular legislation? Really? Can you say “dictatorship”? And now they want “fairness”?
Any country boy knows that white wash don’t stick to no dirt.
Practically speaking, “The lady doth protest (peacefully this time) too much, methinks.”
The extreme, other-worldly bewailings on the Left about Ginsburg’s passing, lead me to more than suspect John Roberts in a cabal to throw the election.
(Honestly, they appear more angry than mourning of her. Isn’t that odd?)
Afterall, the court was 5 – 4 before her passing. Think about it. Duly connect dots.
Just the suspicion is damning enough to replace Ginsburg NOW, and neutralize Roberts. The stakes are too high. Mortally.
Never forget – Remember Robert’s Obamacare deciding vote? And his twisted, tortured reasoning about a direct tax? (Huh?)
He needs to retire, move to Ireland with his adopted Irish children and salvage any ashes of his self respect.
But, say, Trump nominates Judge Sullivan (Flynn case). Well, Antifa/BLM would lay down their molotovs, their rocks, their pepper sprays and guns, and there’d be dancing in the streets of Portland. Maybe if he had a mask to match his black robe, John Roberts could join them.
There is no hypocrisy in Mitch’s bringing Trump’s nominee to a vote but not Obama’s last nominee. It’s a matter of politics, and there is no inconsistency. The GOP controlled the Senate then and it does so now. “But you didn’t bring Garland up for a vote! Inconsistency! Hypocrisy!” is a dog that won’t hunt. There is no legal duty here but only politics. Mitch can bring to a vote, or not. That’s the rules. His choice.
Politics ain’t beanbag.
Exactly. Disgusts me how so many on our side are furiously tweeting out historical precedent and other attempted justifications for making the appointment. We don’t owe the left any explanations. This is politics plain and simple. You move your agenda when you have the power to do so, period. They do the same; it’s why elections are important.
“You move your agenda when you have the power to do so, period. They do the same; it’s why elections are important.” Best crystal clear explanation I’ve seen yet. Nice job, MAGADJT.
Was it fair to pass Obamacare late night on Christmas eve? Hell no! Fairness is doing your duty within the law and that’s what Trump will do.
describe that a little better. for people that need to really see how EVIL that was done.
more details – really points how unscrupulous that was done.
MAGADJT,
The most important thing to keep in context, is that the TRUTH HAS NO AGENDA. Politics is a game of ideologies played with The People’s money.
It’s because RINO’s & TDS. Why doesn’t the dem party have DINO’s?
It is RBGs fault.
She knew she was going to die and she did not want to be replaced by O’bama. Then, like every other Democrat leftist, she was disappointed by Hillary when Trump interrupted their fever dreams of Utopia. The funny part is she would oppose Trump’s pick, because the woman doesn’t think right.
Nothing but pure, unadulterated HUBRIS on RBG’s part. As we age, we see that the very “idols” people worship in their lives are the ones that ultimately bring the down. You cannot escape the Laws of Life.
you guys are so NOT giving the DEM party credit for HOW FAR THEY ARE WILLING TO GO.
its not hubris..
its BALLS by the DNC to keep her life exsitence quiet for 1.5 years and drop it on us 45 days from an election ( to make Biden irrelevant and make voting DEM a Supreme court issue)
these people are so FAR beyond what you think thy are cpable of.
example – according to Nunes – the Russia Russia Russia thing was only to cover up the hillary emails cause they were worried about Chaffets investigation. Meaning they knew some other country had them, so they were doing a pre-emptive strike to make anyone that talked of them a russian traitor for COMEY TO FISA them.
DNC has balls because the media covers for them and is their No. 1 cheerleader.
thats the USURP.
Obama fundamental change took over the FISC court and the media.
Correct.
Now factor in her pledge to step down when she could no longer fulfill the role of Supreme Court Jurist.
Which, she didn’t fulfill!
Her dying wish to hold her seat open could, and should, have been a resignation letter.
But she NEVER wanted to resign.
Seems to me she also hoped to linger on her death bed, thereby preventing any appointment to fill her seat for who knows how long.
However, she passed quickly after her death bed missive, so her plot to keep the seat open through the election was foiled, and her fall back “dying wish” came into play.
Despicable!
Either her death bed missive is a fabrication, or it was part of the plan to cause more outrage. If her docs had been honest with her, they would have told her in July that she would most likely not make it to the election. Being hospitalized less than a week after her procedure to clear the stent, clearly meant that it didn’t work. Pretty much a death knell.
the stent was only palliative. Relieves pain and fluid pressure.
Poor RBG (RIP).
She thought that mentioning to a relative her wish to postpone her replacement until the next president was inaugurated would be viewed by PDJT as a moral obligation.
After so many years as a SCOTUS Justice, her rabid leftism made her think that her wish was tantamount to a legal testament. However, POTUS’ main responsibility is to adhere to the constitution, not to abide by the wish of a dead justice who thought she had the right to enforce it after death.
Hard to blame RGB on this point.
She was raised up to a station beyond her accomplishments and, for the rest of her life, she was hailed as a legal and social force for good. He preferences became law when she found ample opportunity to ignore the constitution and written laws. I’m not saying I demand everyone be a strict constutionalist, but judges have to stop making up stuff and calling it precedent!
Even if there was….so effing what!
Fill the vacancy!
Anyway, there is no hypocrisy because in the last case, there was a divided government (Dems controlled Presidency, Republicans controlled Senate). Thus, there was no clear-cut will of the people–the two entities responsible for the appointment were on different sides of the aisles. Now, there is not a divided government — the will of the people is clear in terms of to whom they have given authority.
Mitch did not bring Garland up for a vote because he knew how Scalia’s vacancy came about. And he was not going to play into their coup.
I don’t trust Mitch one whit, but I respect him greatly for standing up to that. Mitch said he did it because it was an election year, but that was just cover for what really happened.
Democrats have no on to blame but themselves for this situation and the passing of Ginsberg gives the country a chance to be governed by Constitutional law, free from the smirky political whims of John Roberts and the crazy DC elite.
https://townhall.com/columnists/derekhunter/2020/09/20/democrats-have-no-one-but-themselves-and-her-to-blame-for-the-ginsburg
Derrick Hunter is an excellent journalist, imo. Thanks for the link.
(funny guy as well!)
Derek Hunter is great. He has his own radio talk show weekdays on WCBM 680AM in Baltimore, from 0900-1200. I listen to him every day.
IRONY:
Actually, if the confirmation hearing is NOT to DEM’s liking, they COULD blame Bill Clinton, who nominated Ruth Ginsburg, who in turn REFUSED during her own confirmation hearing, to answer questions that might come before her as a Supreme Court Justice, including regarding abortion.
Joe Biden was in charge of Senate Judiciary Committee when Ruth Ginsburg refused to answer questions during HER confirmation.
Biden “stipulated that she had no obligation to answer questions about her personal views or on issues that might come before the Court.”
This became known as “the Ginsburg Rule” which CLEARLY was established by DEMOCRATS in the first place.
Whomever President Trump nominates should ABSOLUTELY follow the GINSBURG RULE, during the confirmation hearing, IMO.
See: https://www.heritage.org/commentary/the-ginsburg-rule
I recall that Biden news clip where he was bragging about his academic accomplishments including his law school record where he actually finished 76th out of 85.
An “F” in prospective legal ethics probably didn’t help his grade average.
The questions on the ethics exam were
1. Is it legal and ethical to accept bribes from foreign countries in exchange for taxpayers’ foreign aid?
2. Explain how a congresscritter can LEGALLY become enormously wealthy on a congressional salary.
I wish someone would just drop all the Roberts blackmail material into the public view already. it is unbelievable that not a single person of integrity has not seen it by now. Once its out there, it can no longer be held over his head to call chips in.
He may very well be a wet noodle jurist in real life and the fact that most Pub-nominated justices are less predictable speaks to them actually evaluating the law…. but some of the contortions he has had to go through to justify his “opinion” on key cases, versus previous ones in his career, versus the more clear-eyed analyses he provides on “lesser” cases, and the brevity the ridiculous ones come with, speak volumes to what is actually going on.
A total of 61 SCOTUS justices have been nominated and confirmed to the Supreme Court since the turn of the last century (1900)
70% of these (43 Justices) were confirmed in *under 46 days* (the amount of time remaining until the Nov 3 Presidential election)

wtd,
Great post, great point…cannot thank you enough for the information.
Best,
Simple Citizen
Would be interesting to see how many of these nominations were from the left, and conservatives just went along blithely as they always seem to do.
thank you, WTD
Why was it ok for Obama to nominate Merrick Garland in Obama’s last days in office, but not ok for Pres Trump to nominate someone at the end of Pres Trump’s first term in office?
This makes no sense to me. Could someone please explain what is to me a Logic Fail?
We all know that if Barry would have had a Democrat controlled Senate in 2016, Garland would have been sitting on the bench
No, Obama would’ve picked someone far more radical than Garland if he had the Senate then. Garland was his stealth compromise candidate to draw a confirmation.
Garland was very anti-2A and was very big on Chevron deference (giving government agencies the benefit of the doubt as to the constitutionality of their regulations).
He didn’t need to be that ‘radical’ to do incredible damage to the country with that attitude.
So I am not going to look it up because I believe it is about to be obosoleted but I think the Biden/SCOTUS doctrine was for a second term President that would be a much lamer duck than first term President approaching reelection. Can anyone confirm please?
It was a doctrine that the Democrats created/used to further their agenda. This ain’t daycare, man. This is the fight for the future of our country. You do what’s in the best interest of our country based upon the beliefs of the people who voted you in office.
The answer is easy. Put up and vote in a conservative constitutionalist jurist for the Supreme Court. End of discussion.
It’s just one of the many things the Senate makes up.
the Biden/SCOTUS doctrine
These are not “doctrines” or “rules,” rather they are pronouncements by the party in power on what they intend to do, and reflect how far they can go, politically speaking.
For example, the party in power announces they will not confirm a nominee in the last year of a President’s term. They do so because they think the voters will not punish them in the coming election, because they believe their excuses will convince enough voters that they are “doing the right thing.” Contrast with the majority party announcing they will not consider any nominee by the President, and hold the seat open until the President leaves office, either four or eight years hence. Politically, that would be suicide. (If it were not, they would do it in a heart beat.)
Anyway, the long and short of it is we are seeing an exercise in political power, and the losing side is arguing as hard as possible that the other side has “gone too far.” The next election decides who did or did not go too far.
P.S. The repubs should exercise their power, as it was given to them by the voters for just this purpose. Those “repubs” that refuse to support their voters should be punished.
What? They couldn’t POSSIBLY continue #RussiaRussiaRussia after four solid years of non-stop Russia Conspiracy Therory?
Ohhhhh, boy!!! Do I have a surprise for you!!!
“Democrats fear Russia interference could spoil bid to retake Senate”
https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/517169-democrats-fear-russia-interference-could-spoil-bid-to-retake-senate
Senate Democrats say Russian operatives are already waging a disinformation campaign aimed at disrupting the 2020 election, and at least one senator says bots with suspected ties are waging Twitter attacks on their campaign.
Chris Wray says: “See?!? I told you so!!! I told you so!!!!”
Ah yes… the ol’ “bots with suspected ties” strategy. We’ve been burned by that before, haven’t we?!?
Ahh yes. Because the Russians really care so much about what senators can do to them.
“Everyone I disagree with is a Russian bot” is the new “everyone I disagree wuth is a Nazi”
More proof that the DNC truly believes Twitter is the heart of the american public square. Which, ironically, we could oblige by agreeing and shutting them down for freedom of speech violations.
Facebook ads and Twitter posts. They really don’t think much of American citizens, do they.
Meanwhile… the real Propaganda is right under our noses… hiding in plain sight… in all of its 4K Ultra High Definition splendor…
In all fairness the Dems can’t blame the Chinese It is logical, The Chinese pay much better than the Russians
I wonder if the Chinese outsource their Russian Disinformation campaigns to Macedonian Content Farmers. Fewer grammatical errors, maybe.
the dems want a corruption bidding war for their favors, between china and russia, with iran as a backup briber.
The Socialist democrats actually have a larger problem. Their true Socialist wing of the party – the Jimmy Dores, Aaron Mate`s, Ben Whatsits, Ana Whoseits, many others, actually have known the truth about Russia Russia Russia since nearly the beginning.
The true Socialist wing of the party are going to shred those Senators to bits.
lol
Now it’s “bots”
That’s perfect because the internet seems incapable of stopping bots.
Crazy Nancy threatens to impeach Trump or Barr maybe both, if Republicans nominate someone to fill RBG seat before the election.
Botox Nancy re-instituted the impeachment in 2019, which she had STOPPED in October 2019, after China Inc.’s attempt to remove the president via China Virus (biological attack) at the Trade Conference. Today, she threatens after the failed RACIN attack on the President.
She can impeach all she wants, the one to watch is McConnell because he is the one who controls the Senate Docket Schedule.
“The questions before the Court now and in the coming years … are too consequential to future generations for courts to be filled through anything less than an UNIMPEACHABLE process.” Obama statement on the passing of RBG
So Obama instructs President Trump on the process to fill the court vacancy in a manner which Obama deems “unimpeachable”. Message to Nancy: If the President doesn’t follow my instructions, he has committed an impeachable offense.
Typical Obama dog-whistle
Impeachment needs to be re-framed as not a political tool. It needs to be identified and acknowledged as “high crimes and misdemeanors” not because Nancy has got her granny panties in a wad!
Its already framed that way, as are dozens of other institutions and traditions.
But that has not stopped them from becoming political anyway
This just underscores how they always twist things, trample the constitution and all laws to get what they want, yet scream and protest and bully and threaten when the shoe is on the other foot. They disgust me beyond all reason.
we will become Italy or England with aligning parties and no confidence votes if we arent careful
I am so over the botox witch, I say bring it on! If Pres Trump and Mitch ram this through we burn it all down, yawn, you have already been burning it all down. There is nothing you can do, threats, or otherwise that can stop what is coming, You reap what you sow now choke on it.
visage- LOVE^^^^^^^^^
YES….Dear Mr.President ..bring Justice AMY CONEY BARRET to vote in Senate on Monday. !! Thank you !!!
No secret that the Senate Majority leader was looking toward his seating of conservatives Judges on federal benches as his lasting legacy.
His assist on seating a third Supreme Court Justice, to President Trump’s nomination, would lock in his legacy.
I might add it would also just please the hell out of 62,984,824 other Americans and one near crazy vet living in S.E. Oklahoma.
Promises Made, Promises Kept.
Don’t break President Trump’s promise, McTurtle.
mr. piddles,
I firmly believe McTurtle should, and will, call in any and all markers to make that very thing a reality.
Ah yes, Green Country.
Caught me, budklatsch.
And Trump. Mustn’t forget Trump Country as well!
You think any congresscritter cares about a ‘legacy”. Amoral sociopaths are already a legend in their own minds. Their ‘legacy’ is the accumulation of wealth and power (on a salary)
Not all of them are sociopaths, though there are probably many more than in the general population. Some do care about their legacy, and doing the right thing, within the constraints of the system.
“Some” is a very few. From non-big-city districts not yet fully corrupted.
How could a relatively honest person even aspire to be a crooked congresscritter, much less continue in the corrupt swamp after one term of experiencing it in person?
What kind of people could stand it? The answer is corrupt people, amoral people, “look the other way” people, “Where is mine” people (‘ubi est mia’ motto)
Voters tolerate corruption, so there are no more ‘Mr smith goes to Washington stereotypes or aspirational models.
President Trump retweet
https://twitter.com/grasshopperxcc/status/1306305491270873092?s=20
Wonder how quickly this video will be scrubbed from Fox News, now that President Trump has retweeted it?? I am amazed it’s still up!
FWIW Tucker talked about the same thing the very next night with a gun expert and promised to continue the conversation with a segment on ammo next week so I am confused why everyone is so surprised about the Soros comment? It is brought up all the time but because of the strange way Newt was cut off – it was a bonus that it made headlines – chalk it up to “Winning”
Too bad. Twitter has suspended this account. Cannot view it. It would be nice if those of you in the know would at least tell us what Newt said. Thanks.

“‘Sunday Night Football’ TV Ratings Drop 28% From The 2019 Opener”
And that was the Sunday Night game. Under normal circumstances, not a throw-away T.V. event. “We’ll see how it goes tonight”, I guess.
Not only “under normal circumstances” – the entire country is sitting at home hoping for things to do – wouldn’t you think they would be overjoyed to see live sports?
LULZ. Clearly the NFL knows what the issue is – their marketing departments are not stupid. But they are caught in a bind now – once you bow to the fascists, you can’t quietly back out. They’ll be in your face demanding more fealty and fists in the air until you comply.
“wouldn’t you think they would be overjoyed to see live sports?”
Exactly. So it’s even worse than bad, is what you’re saying…
“But they are caught in a bind now – once you bow to the fascists, you can’t quietly back out.”
Actually, they’re caught in a bind between The Mob and their woke employees.
Here’s what you do… you get the Accounting Department to print up a bunch of spreadsheets… then you put one of those in each player’s locker, and you schedule a little “review session” for after the next practice. You let them decide what sort of paycheck (if any) they’d like to receive (or not).
They do love their fat paychecks, after all.
They are looking to expand into foreign markets, sole reason the anti American BS is tolerated. They’re also hoping to catch on with your nontypical sports watcher (progressive) but the big bucks is in tV contract in China and elsewhere.
Hopefully they will realize people abroad just don’t care about American football
Yup – always amazes me how the NBA thinks that Chinese are investing in them because they like the sport or even black people. I’ve been to China on biz multiple times, and they could care a wit and are fairly openly racist (or at the very least, provincial and dismissive of everyone else).
The CCP is invested in the NBA for the same reason they have Confucius institutes and all the other crap they have their tentacles in – to change hearts and minds.
Russian interference my butt.
“heir marketing departments are not stupid”…I beg to differ…that’s the reason they are in the shape they are in. Less viewers/less revenue /lower player contracts.
Sheer stupidity for wading into the political arena. Home Depot is hiring!
“We’ll see how it goes tonight”.
I could care less how it goes tonight, this afternoon, tomorrow night and throughout the season. I’m sure someone here will post the dismal ratings for this week starting tomorrow.
I said this often, Rush predicted footballs decline because it represents America. And get this, who is gifted with tearing it apart? The black players who have been given more opportunity and money than any other group.
Look no further for a perfect example of ‘slave’ mentally than what they are doing to their on livelihood. They burn their own businesses, destroy their own families, and jobs, and killing the golden goose of high paying professional sports. Lebrown James should be called out on his role in this madness. How blind can they be?
I remember when Rush first talked about this – anything that bonds the red blooded all American male must be destroyed – and look how they are doing it – with the players themselves and they are for the most part too stupid to even realize it

Do you realize how significant this is
the NSA Director stops contractor access to the database 7 months prior to the 2016 election, after identifying:
• unauthorized searches
• searches beyond the query audit system
• unsupervised private entities accessing the database
• memorandum allowing the FBI to give access to individuals unbeknown to the NSA and FISA Court
During the time period of contractor access cutoff we have the following:
• Contractor (Fusion GPS) CEO’s wife visits the White House (day after contractor access cut off)
• At least 1 FISA is denied ( of the thousands submitted to the court less than 20 have been denied)
• Hillary Clinton Email “matter” is closed
• Anthony Weiner Laptop is found during an NYPD warrant for Child Sex Crimes (online activity with underage female)
• Hillary Clinton Email “matter” re-opened, due to Weiner Laptop illegally syncing emails with his wife’s computer (Human Abedin – Assistant to Hillary Clinton)
• FBI announced hundreds of thousands email of Hillary Clinton found on Weiner laptop. To many to review in a timely manner.
• FBI announced miracle tool that allowed review in days of emails. Says all emails okay, and the matter can be closed.
• Hillary Clinton Email “matter” closed
• Government pays Western Assets to lure Carter Page and Page in separate situations overseas, and records the conversations that create the appearance of Russian collusion
• To this day – No formal Western Intelligence products have been identified as supporting or provided to the US regarding the Trump Campaign and Russia Collusion
• FBI gets a Wiretap on a Trump Campaign member (Carter Page) gaining complete surveillance of Presidential Candidate Trump and his Wife and Children due to the 2-Hop surveillance authority of a FISA.
• Donald J. Trump wins the Presidency of the United States
• Lame Duck Period from election to inauguration of the next president – President Obama kicks Russians out of the country
• Incoming National Security Director is contacted by Russian Ambassador to understand the kicking out of their diplomats. He is informed to equally retaliate, but to not escalate.
• This conversation is used to removed General Flynn from the WhiteHouse and has resulted in a 4 year trial that has cost him his home, and the possible threatening of his son (We have still not see the Rosenstein 2nd Scope Memo in October for Mueller Special Counsel)
• SSCI makes joint statement they have no evidence the President was wiretapped
• Next day, request review of the wiretap of the President (03/03/17) the FISA on Carter Pages with 2-Hop authority to surveil 2 levels of contact from ever Carter Page Contact.
• SSCI republicans leave the country as SSCI Vice Chairman reviews the 03/03/17 FISC clerk stamps Carter Page FISA (Wiretap of the President via 2-Hop authority)
• the SSCI requested FISA is leaked to a Buzzfeed Reporter
• Buzzfeed publishes the content, CNN reports Buzzfeed published it, The media starts the Russia, Russia Russia narrative.
• This narrative evolved into Congress and the Senate doing the “moral thing” and appointed a Special Prosecutor to look into “Russia Collusion”
• Special Counsel attacks the entire staff and family of President Trump
• Special Prosecutor finds $75,000 Facebook ads purchased by a Russian Company
• He indicts them and allows the media to frame this as “Russia Hacked the election” conflating this with the DNC hack (that again, the FBI never reviewed – instead a Ukrainian Contractor called Crowdstrike did – that you’ll see later the President gets impeached for bringing this company’s name up)
• The indicted Russians ask for a trial to demonstrate they only bought ads. Special Prosecutor declines and case is never brought forward (however, the narrative of Russia hacked the election is set in the media, and keep in mind this was all done on days the President was overseas trying to secure peace with North Korea)
• Ultimately, the FISC court finds all 4 FISAs on Carter Page lacked candor (2 were renewed under the Special Counsel)
• FBI lawyer pleads guilty to falsifying documents provided to the FISA court that granted the Carter Page FISA renewal
• At the close up of the Mueller Probe, his entire team “accidentally” put their phones into airplane mode and attempt the pass code 10 times that results in a reset to default (clearing the data).
• The Steele Dossier is identified as the sole source of the FISA ( and the primary sub source is interviewed and tells the FBI he cannot corroborate any of the information attributed to him within the Dossier)
• The primary sub source is identified as a co-worker and friend of Fiona Hill via Brookings Institute (Russian expert with the State Department that testified against the President in the Ukraine Impeachment). Later we find out Shearer with Brookings is the other avenue the Dossier gets into the government and media talk stream.
• Oh yes, forgot about that, the House of Representatives – impeached the President of the United States for calling the Ukrainian President after he won his election, and also mentioning an oligarch, a server, and a company called Crowdstrike.
• Crowdstrike was the company that investigated the ‘DNC Hack” (shocking right? the FBI never reviewed the DNC and instead took the word of a contracted [remember contractor access to NSA database? via Comey Memorandum – unknown to NSA and FISA court? good])
• Prosecutor Durham was appointed during this time – evolves into a Criminal Inquiry
• Currently the FBI and DOJ appear to be cooperating in the Crime Victims Rights Act holding unauthorized data obtained on Carter for Litigation

–“• SSCI republicans leave the country as SSCI Vice Chairman reviews the 03/03/17 FISC clerk stamps Carter Page FISA (Wiretap of the President via 2-Hop authority)”–
Wait,,,what? Where does this information come from that says SSCI republicans leave the country? Some of them? All of them? Where did they go?
And did anyone ever come up with an answer as to why Weiner’s laptop had 10 times more Clinton e-mails than the Clinton server had that it was linked to?

Thank you kindly for the follow up information! It is ‘much’ appreciated!
WhiteBoard,
Thank you for the timeline. Sometimes us (me?) lowlife deplorables get overwhelmed with everything that is occurring. It is nice to go higher and not caught up in the weeds.
. It seems every church I attend thinks posting medium toned writing on the same color background in a different tone is the way to go for their online bulletins. I have good eyesight without glasses and I have good night vision.
If you had any doubt the Democrat Party is the party of the demonically possessed?
Should the GOP be able to actually WIN the House back, I certainly hope they review ALL the rules and make sure there are no gotchas left in place for minority dems to suddenly have absolute power over everything ad infinitum.
The GOP has shown itself to be completely useless and wimpy by taking that high road bullshit over and over again.
I think the GOP needs to actually do some new version of “contract with america” thing. They need to nationalize every race under the guise that if they are given power back, they will do more than review rules and push their agendas.
I want a constitutional convention, and Trump needs to get in and agree that no more will be passed or budgets, NOTHING, until we have a reconciliation to try and permanently shitcan the corruption that has rotted us to the core.
No amount of rules reviews or “reform” will do, at this point. We’ve been brought to the brink of civil war by allowing the aristocracy to run roughshod over us all, as long as we got a few scraps and times were good.
It has to end. I think if the GOP was open about it and agreed to convene some radical new rules that restrict government forever, a lot more people would rally to our cause.
What a terrific idea creating a “new version of the ‘contract withAmerica,'” More Bore! Under President Trump’s direction, it would be EPIC!
How about sending it to the Whitehouse Gov link?
They are doing a new version of Contract for America, it is actually pretty good and I am assuming this will be distributed in any key house seats.
It is called Commitment to America. Restore. Rebuild. Renew.
https://www.republicanleader.gov/commitment/
There are 3 versions available including a pocket size version.
This is a clever move, and is exactly the sort of thing that could win the house back. Because it hits all the key themes, but gives people a reminder and clear reasons for why they should vote Republican in a house seat. Also it is short and sweet, not too wordy.
its called the Commitment to America … and McCarthy has gotten all Republicans to sign it …
https://www.republicanleader.gov/mccarthy-joins-newt-gingrich-to-discuss-republicans-commitment-to-america/
henry, the republicans are just as dirty as the socialist democrats. See Ryan, Paul.
The only difference is, Fake News will out the republicans, but not the socialist democrats.
Hey all the pious Catholics are in church this morning. Paulie Numnuts Ryano, Madam Polident, and co star of the Harris admin.
some Republicans yes … not all …
I read that there are 31 Dem’ representatives running in districts Trump won.
and, that 20 of those Trump won by 6% or more.
We need 20 more seats to retake the House.
Just FYI — McLaughlin is a HUGE fake conservative NeverTrump tool.
Was the first FISA warrant on President Trump’s campaign in 2016 modified? Who in the FISCR appeals process modified the FISA warrant on President Trump’s campaign in June 2016?
FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE SURVEILLANCE COURT OF REVIEW (FISCR) — 3 JUDGES, their regular Judicial District Court assignments, and Terms of FISC assignment
If an application is denied by one judge of the court, the federal government is not allowed to make the same application to a different judge of the court, but may appeal to the United States Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court of Review.
Such appeals are rare: the first appeal from the FISC to the Court of Review was made in 2002 (In re Sealed Case No. 02-001), 24 years after the founding of the court.
Also rare is for FISA warrant requests to be turned down. During the 25 years from 1979 to 2004, 18,742 warrants were granted, while only four were rejected.
Fewer than 200 requests had to be modified before being accepted, almost all of them in 2003 and 2004.
The four rejected requests were all from 2003, and all four were partially granted after being submitted for reconsideration by the government. Of the requests that had to be modified, few were before the year 2000.
During the next eight years, from 2004 to 2012, there were over 15,100 additional warrants granted, and another seven being rejected.
Over the entire 33-year period, the FISA court granted 33,942 warrants, with only 12 denials – a rejection rate of 0.03 percent of the total requests. This does not include the number of warrants that were modified by the FISA court.
died?
https://americandigitalnews.com/index.php/2019/05/19/foreign-intelligence-surveillance-court-of-review-part-1/
Working from memory – yes, the first FISA application was rejected.
FBI usually works with FISA judges off-the-record before submitting a FISA application, to make certain the FISA warrant will be approved.
Best to ask an attorney, but that is not really kosher in a courtroom, to work with a judge before “charging” a defendant in order to secure a favorable ruling from a judge.
Maybe this will help. I think, we could be looking at away to sidestep rejections by the FISA court.

Four rejections? That’s perfect government–something the Framers guaranteed could not happen.
Consider that a rejection is tantamount to the surgeon leaving his watch inside the patient, and a QA x-ray says he needs to go back in and take it out. A rejection is evidence of not meeting the standard of care, and these are 4th Amendment exemptions, so the standard should be hard and clear…meaning a shortcoming is a big deal.
It may be plausible that the quality was very high during these years. Then the question is, why all of a sudden the increase in re-work? The only answers are the following:
1) the process was never high quality, and the judges allowed it, or
2) the process was once high quality and then declined precipitously.
However, that leaves the recent history: the quality was likely crappy, but the judges nevertheless tolerated it. That’s insufficient case building and incompetent judging.
Move that the court be revamped with new personnel beginning Jan 20, 2021.
Bottom of table above is at.

great job island.
I’m not sure how to get that information (open source).
I’d like to know how many FISA apps were of “agent of a forieng power” versus “foreigner”
thats a US citizen being surveilled because they did have a FARA.
——–
and remember prior to 2001 we didnt include “new technology’ into the FISA powers until 2001. 2008 the ISPs.
2017- 702 ‘about’ – ended (still not reauthorzed today – current situation why FISA abuse is being hid I’m sure)
Fridays was the answer to your earlier question about Judge Rudolph Contreras rotation.
Dude, we have been waiting for justice since Bill Clinton’s bullshit impeachment…..he should have resigned.
a Supreme court tie – makes the Court WORTHLESS and not needed.
makes the Federal judges rule the world….
RBG hasnt been really seen for over 2 years. beside articles with photos

Looks like sunlight got the modified/denied numbers up. Wonder why.
right? funny that!
after a compliance officer notes maliscious activity – the denials increase 500 % n 2 years against the total amount in 15 years (or 1700% per year)
Yep, for the first 36 years. 632 modified, 17 denied
the next 2 years, 620 modified, 68 denied
Those numbers could be modified at will because everything is classified.
Well now, what makes this list interesting is that the figures don’t match the annual FISA Court Director’s report to Congress.
According to the US Court site,https://www.uscourts.gov/statistics-reports/analysis-reports/directors-report-foreign-intelligence-surveillance-courts, the figures for total applications(1st column) and denials(4th column) read like this:
2015: 1,010/5 (for only 6/8-12/310
2016: 1,752/9
2017: 1,614/26
And the next 2 additional report years
2018: 1,318/30
2019: 1,010/20
Suggest you take the time to read the rest of my links. The 2016 modifications have me interested to.
Did the new FISA judge help to bypass the court?
I’m reading them as fast as I am capable–which is pretty darn slow! (smiles)
Not quite sure I understand your question. Do you mean the new Presiding Judge at the time, Collyer(sp), or the newest presiding Judge Boasberg (sp)? Or someone else at a different time?
Sorry if I’m confused or slow to catch up, but my mental acuity is fading for the day.
FISA warrants can go an appeals court headed by Boasberg. The appeals court has a number of abilities.
Collyer is a member of the FISA court.
Did not realize that Boasberg is also heading up an appeals court as well as Presiding Judge of FISC.
And I believe former Presiding FISC Judge Collyer is retired from the court and Boasberg took over that position.
And I kindly thank you for this back and forth conversation and your insights along with the additional information!
this is 2016 reference
‘Gotcha’, thanks, now I can put it together better!
I am working on 2016 court. In 2016 a number of interesting events occurred. Most of my posting today are on how the first and warrants on the Trump campaign started in 2016.
Start reading here is my suggestion

end of 2015 line should read (for only 6/8-12/31)
2015 was the 1st year that the report was mandated to be given to Congress and made public. It it usually filed towards the end of April each year.
Each of these come with their own summary.
Summary of Findings The FISC disclosed that it received 1,752 applications in 2016. After consideration by the court, 1,378 orders were granted, 339 orders were modified, 26 orders were denied in part, and 9 applications were denied in full.
https://www.uscourts.gov/sites/default/files/ao_foreign_int_surveillance_court_annual_report_2016_final.pdf
I am working on the process used for medication in 2016.
Yup, those are the reports I read every year. The summary and the individual categories of applications get rather fascinating, especially the definitions of the categories of who and what they can get warrants for.
Don’t think we’ll will ever know how many 1881a applications there are as those are “so super duper top secret” they won’t even list how many were applied for, much less the results. And I believe those last for a year instead of just 90 days, but it has been awhile since I read the requirements so I may be wrong.
This Court just needs to go Bye Bye.
Aside from this excellent site:
https://kaginfo.org/Candidates.aspx
Does anyone know of a site that has done, or is doing, deep dives on Judicial or DA candidates and their financial sources?
thanks.
Judge Jeanine has mentioned twice now (JJ’s radio show, just now live, WABC radio) RGB’s ruling on the Lilly Ledbetter trial, where no law existed for RGB’s ruling, then RGB worked with Obama to actually write the law that did not exist at the time of RGB’s ruling!
How can a SCOTUS justice rule on a law that never existed then helped to write the non-existent law after the ruling?
These people make no sense. No wonder none of them go into STEM. They’ve no logic whatsoever.
I disagree, they have great logic, and its why they know they must control the court. They cannot pass legislatively most of what they want, so they must be able to decree it on us all. When they do so, we are the frogs in the kettle who never object or rise up.
Me too. Bring it!

Wow! That was fun to watch. Thank you!
CTH Friends:
Just a reminder PDJT and Iron Mike Tyson have been friends for decades. PDJT tried to help protect Mike from characters like Don King, but unfortunately, Mike was not ready for the advice at that time in his life.
He is a far more humble and wiser man now.
In watching the video on the link, I was reminded about PDJT and Mike Tyson.
Tyson actually had an estate outside Y-town. We would see his entourage & stretch limo roll through town.
Tyson was the nicest, courteous guy. Not at all like he was made out to be.
Knew one of his sparing partners when we lived in NYC, and he would say the same thing.
One day Iron Mike showed up at a place where the sparing partner worked for my girlfriend (now wife). The two of them spoke (sparing partner and Mike), and then the old sparing partner introduced my wife to Iron Mike. She said (and still maintains) the same thing, just a really nice guy with a good sense of humor.
Thanks for your response.
Great story, and thank you so much for allowing us to share that joy.
Gutfield is great.
Killing people in the streets is not a politcal movement.
the Left killing will not be treated as a protest by the police, and will be treated as a killer that killed someone or some people.
If a Judge is confirmed before the election – THEY ALL GIVE UP and are deflated.
Me too.
The “ cold anger” is terrific. But I am ready to go hot.
As one listens to your President it sounds like he is too.
These C**ts. Ryan, Romney and the RINO crew too. Thought they could just slide this by..Nope!
Guess what..they were SO very wrong.
I ain’t backing down, many here in Canada are seriously angered at our corruptocrats.
Millions are PDJT supporters..
God bless PDJT
I only looked at Robert Trump’s twitter feed one time. One of his last 20 tweets, I believe, may have -allegedly – claimed Mitt Romney was gay or bisexual, hence the leverage needed to make him take a dive in debate #2 with Barry.
All you have to do is look the way he walks.
God bless you, dear and good Canadian friend, Dekester.

Covid Crisis Opens a Schools Voucher Moment for Trump
Editorial of The New York Sun | September 19, 2020
Never let a crisis go to waste, it’s said. The crisis that beckons at the moment is that which the Covid pandemic has precipitated in our public schools. It is laying bare how our K-12 education serves teachers unions more than their customers, meaning parents. Could this be a moment for President Trump to launch a national schools voucher for parents scrambling to get their children back to school — and corner Joe Biden?
https://www.nysun.com/editorials/covid-crisis-opens-a-schools-voucher-moment/91266/
Yes.
Executive Order stating that municipal and county taxes that are assessed for school systems be apportioned to vouchers for those residents who pay into the fund, are eligible to subscribe to school services, but choose to send their kids elsewhere. Likewise, those who pay into the fund but are not eligible to partake of the services (i.e., no kids) are to be given the option to withhold payment or convert it to voucher funding for equitable distribution to voucher recipients.
Penalty for non-compliance is mandatory review by DOJ for civil rights violations and an automatic hearing for cause against the chief responsible elected official for any complaint lodged by a citizen in the jurisdiction.
Is this current EO or proposed EO by Trump?
Ad rem, can you pls delete my above post with typo?

Is this our upcoming October surprise?
Yesterday on Twitter Paul Sperry announced that John Durham’s investigation had been ongoing since March 2017.
https://twitter.com/paulsperry_/status/1307476581804367875
March 10, 2017 was when almost all of the US Attorneys were asked to submit their resignations. At the time, John Durham was the counsel to the US Attorney for CT, Deidre Daly. Since Ms. Daly needed to on stay on through 10/27/17 to complete her 20 years of federal employment for full retirement, she was allowed to stay. John Durham was immediately appointed as Acting US Atty then formally nominated a few days later.
https://twitter.com/paulsperry_/status/1307476581804367875
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deirdre_M._Daly
In October 2016, the unresolved matter of the Weiner laptop made its appearance. It has never been investigated and settled to anyone’s satisfaction.
https://www.pscp.tv/w/1rmGPYeeRbVJN
Is the Weiner laptop where Durham’s leak investigation started?
Comey and McCabe both were involved in that affair and both got passes on criminal prosecutions.
Adam Schiff wants an investigation into Durham’s investigation.
=====================
I am becoming hopeful once again.
Almost nobody involved in the Weiner laptop issues is on a ballot this year. The DOJ can announce indictments anytime without breaking with the 60-day tradition.
Yes, NONE OF comey (and his leaker-friend Richman who may have had NSA-spy access), brennan, strozk, pientka, yates, priestap, weissman, mueller, clapper, halper, ‘azura honeypot turk’, the ‘contractors’ who illegally 702-spied, samantha powers of massive 702-spying fame, perkins-coie financing the fake FISAs, fusionGPS-steele fraud, the ohrs, FBI-evidence rewriter page, mccabe, et al ARE RUNNING FOR OFFICS, and cannot claim to have been “political” while in government employment.
Durham has been indicting since …
How’s that song go – – “In the year twenty-five twenty-five there’s hardly a man still alive……..”
One hit wonder…
call on me!
Call on me, I know the answer !
Never?
Maybe this is the October surprise from Nancy:
https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2020/09/pelosi-refuses-rule-out-impeachment-to-delay-replacing-ruth-bader-ginsburg/

I would think the more moderate Dems would take a stand
and say NO… What are they going to impeach him on this time?
Let’s see if Nanzi can explain prioritizing another show impeachment or two above coronavirus relief. That should be a sure fire winner. /sarc
Since the entire House is up for re-election, she might not get any takers.

In my dreams of dreams, I wish Nancy would leave her husband and Joe would leave Jill…then they get married and stumble through speeches together happily ever after. They can share the Polident and talk about how good the Sanka tastes.
They can drool while watching reruns of the Golden Girls together in the BarcaLoungers together. Match made in ???? well somewhere.

How and when did the FISA warrant on the Trump campaign move from Judge William Curtis (FISCR) Bryson to Judge Rudolph Contreras(FISA) for final approval?
In May 19, 2016 Judge Rudolph Contreras was appointed to the FISA court by Obama and Roberts. Then in June of 2016 a non-partisan FISA court committee turned down a wiretap on Prsident Trump’s campaign
The case then went to a three man appeals court(FISCR) headed by William Curtis Bryson which just happen to be all be Clinton appointed judges.
https://theblacksphere.net/2017/03/plot-thickens-guess-appointed-fisc-judges-authorized-wiretaps/
What follows are extracts from their procedures manual of the FISCR.
court.
The review is expected to be done by the full court consisting of three judges but what the hay, they can just ignore the requirement and use one judge. If this is too much for them, they can just ignore all the rules and go directly to the verdict.
Rule 2. Suspension of Rules.
On its own or a party’s motion, the Court may-to expedite its decision or for
other good cause-suspend any provision of these rules in a particular case and
order proceedings as it directs.
(3) A motion under Rule 6(b) must be filed with the Clerk and normally
will be considered by all members of the FISCR. But in an
exceptional case in which time requirements make that procedure
impracticable, the motion may be made to and considered by a single
FISCR judge.
Rule 6. Stay Pending Appeal.
(a) Initial Motion in the FISC. A party must ordinarily first move in the FISC
for the following relief:
(1) a stay of a FISC order pending appeal; or
(2) an order suspending, modifying, restoring, or granting an injunction
while an appeal is pending.
(b)Motion in the Court of Appeals. A motion for relief described in Rule 6(a)
may be made to the FISCR.

Judge Rudolph Contreras
May 19, 2016 – May 18, 2023
Every single judge on the FISA Court as of March 2017 was appointed during Obama’s Presidency! That’s called packing the court.
It appears that the FISC judges serve 7-yr terms. Because of this, in 2017 all of the FISC judges would have been Obama appointees without an effort to pack the court.
I guess it’s time for Bill Clinton type answer. It depends on what you mean by pack. When the court was selected by Obama and Clinton. They could have selected a few republicans but instead they selected all Democrats.
See if this creative thought hits home – or is a complete miss.
First Fisa was Papadopoulus – denied
first Fisa approved – was Carter (blending multiple records included the Papa Turk Halper one) and new judges unaware of the denial.
possible?
This would be great, if it were validated. The author badly needs to provide confirmations.
But here’s the thing. Up until July 11, 2016, all direct contact was with George Papadopoulos through Mifsud and Downer. Carter Page did not personally meet Halper until July 11, 2016 at the July 2016 Cambridge symposium.
If there was a June and/or July 2016 FISA Application, it’s pretty certain that Papadopoulos was in it.
The first was a hodgepodge of unofficial foreign intelligence with Papadopoulos information mixed in. It was denied by the FISA Judge.
The FISA Judge asked the FBI to narrow their focus and present a second FISA Application. The FBI presented another FISA Application centered around Papadopoulos but their “evidence” was so weak the FISA Judge denied them a second time.
Papadopoulos ultimately proved useless to the FBI in obtaining a FISA Warrant. But he served perfectly as a stop-gap measure allowing the FBI to open their Counterintelligence Investigation while they set their sights on Carter Page.
https://themarketswork.com/2018/05/25/why-is-george-papadopoulos-missing-from-the-steele-dossier/
Judge Rudolph Contreras was aware of the denial. In fact, he was their (FISA court) for a specific purpose. I have been unable to prove or disprove this speculation.
deny Papa FISA…. create NEW FISA of Carter PAGE – and resubmit the exact file plus dossier info…
What judge denied the July one? President Trumps private lawyer is the only one that has mentioned this denial. (these denials) Jay Sekalow
I would have believed Boasberg, approved but not denied FISA?
Klein’s description in his book aligns with both the content and timeline of the Alfa Bank FISA timeline. The FISA judge in the book is not mentioned by name; however, from the description in the book as a “he” and the location (“only a few minutes” away), it is almost guaranteed to be Judge James E Boasberg.
1st failed FISA (early June 2016). Broad in scope. 4 people in campaign. Presumably includes Flynn, Papadapolous, Page, and Manafort
2nd failed FISA (July 2016). Also broad. Probably a rehash of the first but Pap left out and more details from Steele added.
3rd failed FISA (Oct 2016) Alfa Bank angle.
Passed Carter Page (Oct 21, 2016)

Hey Sherri! While the FISC judges serve 7-yr terms which puts the 2017 time frame solidly within Obama’s administration, Obama does not pick appoint the judges to FISC, Chief Justice Roberts does.
He can pick/appoint any judge from the entire pool of federal district court judges, which would at that time and the preceding 7 years would include many judges still from the Reagan, Bush, Clinton, and Bush II administrations.
So to have all of them in 2017 be only Obama appointed district judges to be then appointed by Roberts to FISC would seem to indeed be ‘packing the FISA’ court.
Matter of fact, the latest FISC judge that was appointed this year, Liam O’Grady, is from the Bush II administration.
Thank you. I absolutely did jump right over the fact that Chief Justice Roberts appoints the judges on the FISC.
You’re certainly welcome,
And I’m sure I’ll get the same chance to thank you shortly when I “jump right over” something soon meself! Every thing sure seems to be coming at us fast and furious these days and it’s dang sure hard to keep up with even half of it!
Be well!
Since the lack of testicles is one the main selection criteria for Supreme Judge, I am outraged that Lyndsey Graham wasn’t on the list.
He’s definitely a catcher.
Hey Sundance – when the Maria B show is posted – check out the Rubio segment. I know you already got it coming. I just found his comment that “the intel community told them not to include the dossier” was interesting. because of the SSCI statement on the ICA being okay (recent statement)

QUESTION: With the Democrats passing laws in Michigan and PA that ballots without postmarks can be counted for days after the election. . .. .. I’ve been wondering if there is a legal means to thwart the potential fraud.
This is my question. I know the states have control, but they cannot have complete control, or there wouldn’t be a national day for an election. So, could President Trump write an executive order that NO votes are counted until ALL votes are received?
So when would that be? 2023? The radical left would keep sending in ballots FOREVER!
That looks like something that needs to be duked out in state courts. It probably violates their election codes.
You’re falling into the Dem trap…”All votes must be counted”.
no laws passed in Pa doing any such thing …
I so dislike this woman.
It sounds like Georgi is advocating these moves. Funny, I’ve been surfing the net consistently & never have seen these options.
“I so dislike this woman”…Agreed and include little George.
I’m more like in the despise category.
In CA theres no problem….

So what do you do four years later when you want a peaceful election?

Retired Magistrate here: Ground report from Delaware County, Ohio. This morning I was coming back from my morning walk and saw a man pulled over by our neighbor’s driveway picking up a lawnmower they were throwing away. Went over to talk to him and he had a Trump hat on. He stated that he picks up old lawnmowers and gives them to the Amish who take the engines and use them to power their equipment. He is a big Trump supporter because of the economy. He is retired military police and his wife is still working; both their retirement funds are doing well despite covid-19, thanks to President Trump economic policies.
We then talked about the Amish supporting President Trump. This gentlemen then told me about a big Trump parade on Rt. 4 yesterday. The State Highway Patrol was there to make sure everything went well. Rt. 4 is located in farm country so all the farmers got together and had a parade.
Then went to our small country church down the road from where we live; all Trump supporters. After that stopped at a yard sale and met a man with a Trump hat on; great conversation. All these people were very passionate for President Trump.
So, it has been a good day here in Delaware County, Ohio. GOD is still on the throne, clear skies, church open, yard sales, enough to eat and surrounded by Trump supporters, except for our next door neighbors. Oh well, can’t have everything.
Great report! Thanks!
You are posting good news, but it is not surprising.
Ohio 2016 numbers:
Republican 2,841,005 51.69% Donald John Trump, Sr.
Democratic 2,394,164 43.56% Hillary Clinton
In other words POTUS won OH by 8+ points, and I expect him to win by a larger margin in 2020. And as long as I am prognosticating, POTUS won FL by 1.3% in 2016, and I expect him to win by 3+ % in 2020.
Blown Away! by this video! Very lucid depiction of real-time events based on the call record and airline tracking from somebody who knows about hijacking contingency plans.
and this one too… I never knew the full story….
CTH Friends,
You know I was thinking about it today, it is really strange when people transition at the most interesting points in time (no my tinfoil hat is in the corner, I promise = ).
JRBG has transitioned at a time of crises in our nation, and her departure would make it extremely hard for SCOTUS to rule on a challenged Presidential election.
Madelyn Lee Dunham (Barry’s grandmother; Stanley’s mom) transitioned just as he was assuming office in his first term. Based on the questioning of Bubba’s mother after he went into office, Ms. Dunham’s passing was very fortuitous as to making sure there was no slippage of information as was the case with Mrs. Clinton.
Then there are such notable passings as :
1. Secretary Ron Brown
2. Justice Scalia
3. Mr. Vincent Foster, Esq.
4. the DC Madam
And the list goes on and on and on…
Strange indeed on the timing.
Best,
Simple Citizen
it is a well-known phenomenon called Arkanciding.
There are many other examples.
Funny! Yes, I have heard that one before, but funny to see it again.
Thanks.
Has anyone considered that former Vice President Biden was in office, as a Senator, before disco began?
Crazy to consider.
did slo-joe invent disco, before algore invented disco and the internet?
Its possible! He might have been the construction worker (lunch bucket Joe) in the Village People.

How pathetic no democrats are calling her out for her sedition.
We have to assume that if the Democrats hold Congress and pick up even 2 in the senate, impeachment after impeachment will begin should President Trump win the election. We know know all the dirty tricks, outright lies, and criminality that ALREADY exists – there will be NOTHING stopping them. I have ZERO faith anybody aside from a full on civil revolt will stop them.
I will will till after the election for that worry.
what do you mean “we”, ex-congresscritter?
Nancy, was just taken down by her hairdresser. I don’t think she has any arrows in her quiver anymore.
As I predicted yesterday, the passing of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and the process to fill her open SCOTUS seat HAS kicked off political battles that WILL drive more voters to the polls on Nov 3rd.
See this craziness:
LOL. THAT’S A BLUFF
Joe CAN’T “Pack the Court” in 2021 IF President Trump is re-elected
KEEP AMERICA GREAT!
VOTE!
DRIVE YOUR NEIGHBORS TO THE POLLS!
REGISTER YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS TO VOTE!
GET OUT THE VOTE!
I thought Kennedy was losing his race.
he already lost!
Someone should tell him lol.
Kennedy lost the Primary for a Senate seat run. Doesn’t mean he’s going to lose his House seat.
In order to raise the number of SCOTUS Justices above 9, the dems would need to control both chambers of Congress AND the WH, OR have veto-proof majorities if Trump retains the Presidency.

Democrats have made it clear, if it wasn’t by their concerted move to the left and their funding and winking assent to the mobs in the street, that the constitution means nothing to them. Their operating principle is Lawfare and their religion is winning at any cost.
They may not WANT to honor the Constitution, but they will have no choice when it gets right down to it with this “Pack the Court” BS.
It’s ALL A BLUFF
If we’ve seen anything thus far, they’ll just do it if they think they can get away with it.
CJ Roberts would likely give it a fait accompli stamp of approval such as the EO ruling.
Trump’s SCOTUS nomination will go thru BEFORE anything regarding “packing the court” will reach the Court, so Roberts’ wonky votes won’t mean squat. It will be 5-4 even if he DOES votes with Kagan, Sotomayor and Breyer. AND, with 5 Conservative Justices, Roberts can’t even deflect by refusing to hear appeals to cases being stonewalled by lower courts.
THERE IS NO WAY DEMS CAN PACK THE SCOTUS IN 2021
IT’S A BLUFF TO GET TRUMP TO WAIT, OR GIVE SENATORS AN EXCUSE TO JUMP SHIP
I’m not worried. The Democrats will do what they will and it is always the worst they are capable of. As you say, we must work in the normal realm and go about our business.
AND drive our friends, relatives, and neighbors to the polls UNLESS they plan to vote Dem. LOL
They’re going to pack the court anyway. I wouldn’t be surprised to see them try to impeach Kavanaugh out.
They need to get control of both chambers of Congress to “Start Packing” PLUS they need to either control the WH OR get veto-proof majorities in Congress
POTUS will put a judge in this year – And he will pack the court now?
ten feet higher.
Keep being unreasonable and talking sht Joe
Imagine what could have been done during Trump’s first 2 years IF Paul Ryan and the Decepticons had actually BEEN ON BOARD WITH MAGA.
Take the House!
At the very least, we need to hold the Senate.
If it were me I`d fill the SC position….
during her funeral..
but I`m funny that way.
burnetto??
?
Perfect
Does anyone know if the BLM/ANTIFA terrorists are moving to hit and runs. I’m in Orlando and keep hearing sirens so I looked up the calls to see what is going on and there are 14 car crash calls, all within a few minutes of each other and quite a few of them are hit and runs. All different areas too.
That’s scary!
maggiemoowho ??
Let’s hope it’s not a distraction.
B-ash
L-eave the scene
M-ove away from arrest
Happened here in South Carolina yesterday. One person dead. Four accidents in a row on one road. News has been silent about it but local witnesses say driver was “taking out” cars. Vet sad.
I have been noticing lots of “accidental” deaths in the past few months – I feel like there are some mentally ill people out there who wish anyone dead who may be a Trump Supporter so there is a good possibility this is happening –
Today there was a Trump car parade in Texas where a couple stopped at a convenience store for drinks – they were pulling a trailer with Trump flags/signs on it – someone pulled the pin on their trailer hitch and after they started driving their trailer fishtailed and almost killed them – things like this continue to happen and I feel like it will get worse –
Stay Safe Out There

Maybe the MAGA supporters should get military gear, ‘assault sticks’ and actually threaten people within 15 feet of the voting station, which is proven by the DOJ/FBI to NOT BE intimidation.

“Team Obama Turns Blind Eye to Voter Intimidation
By Deroy Murdock – July 12, 2010
Voters at a precinct on Philadelphia’s Fairmont Street witnessed unusual sights and sounds on Election Day Nov. 4, 2008. Two members of the New Black Panther Party, King Samir Shabazz and Jerry Jackson, stood within 15 feet of this polling station dressed in military-style black jackets, black berets and black combat boots. King Samir Shabazz wielded a 2-foot-long night stick.
“Cracker, you are about to be ruled by a black man,” one of the New Black Panthers told a white voter. They taunted others as “white devils.” A black couple who served as Republican poll watchers said they felt endangered when the Panthers called them “race traitors.”
Here is an interesting movie trailer. Not a block-buster, nonetheless it is unsettling especially when the word,”mandatory,” is used.
