In the bigger picture, it is very likely that congress will reauthorize FISA (702) surveillance because not doing so is against their interests. That reality creates an unusual dynamic where President Trump can leverage the inevitable outcome for his own political benefit.

PRESIDENT TRUMP – “Just like they did on Border Funding, the Radical Left Dumocrats are trying to take our National Security hostage because of unrelated issues. They should stop playing politics with the safety of our Great Country.

I have named William Pulte to be Acting Director of National Intelligence, who will take over on June 19th, and have asked him to execute the immediate and needed downsizing of the office, reverting staff to their home agencies. At the same time, I am looking for a permanent ODNI Nominee with experience in National Security.

FISA 702 is very important to our Military, and keeping the American People safe, especially during the World Cup and America250 Celebrations. If nothing is done, this important Law will expire this week. I am asking Congress to send me a short-term extension of FISA to provide time for the selection and confirmation of a permanent Head of the Agency. I would like to thank Director Pulte for his time and commitment.” ~ President DONALD J. TRUMP

The Legislative Branch is opposing FISA (702) renewal by using opposition as a narrative to enhance their “orange man bad” credentials.   Their opposition is fake.  In non-pretending reality we understand the Legislative Branch both wants and controls the dynamics around FISA (702).

Earlier today, President Donald Trump signed the Secure America Act in the Oval Office. The bill provides $70 billion for immigration enforcement, including $38 billion for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, $26 billion for the Border Patrol, and $5 billion to cover unforeseen costs.  WATCH:

.

The appearance of Senator Rand Paul and House Speaker Mike Johnson together is rather interesting, considering the current internal dynamics behind the FISA (702) issue that puts them on opposite sides – with President Trump in the curious middle.

When the systems of a ‘law and order’ society find no intention, benefit or reasonable expectation of safety from their established construct of government -generally driven by an intentional willingness to ignore the demands of the citizens those officials are expected to represent- eventually people take matters into their own hands.

It is fair to call this the end of the “first follower” phase.

It began when a singular voice stood boldly in righteous opposition to the violence. This person was watched by many.

Then, when that person, the original opponent to the violence is met with brutal isolation and retaliation, a first follower surfaces.

The first follower is the individual who stands up in anger against the retaliation they have witnessed against the singular voice.

This is the key moment when you can guarantee something is about to change.

The crowd watches the first follower, only at this very consequential inflection point -having watched the previous retaliation- the crowd are now invested emotionally in the outcome of what happens to the ‘first follower.’

The crowd will not accept the same outcome for the first follower. They are in a different mindset, a different frame of mind.  Perspectives are completely different in this phase.

Events in Europe are at the extreme side of the first follower phase. However, events in the United States are not far behind. In fact, the reason we are watching events in Europe with such deliberate attention is entirely because our proximity to the violence at hand is not determined by miles; rather, it is determined by mindset.

Tonight is another primary election in a batch of states including, Maine, South Carolina, Nevada and North Dakota.

One surprise I just noticed is the horrible fibber and gaslighter Nancy Mace failing miserably in her quest for South Carolina Governor.  Nancy Mace is in fifth place.

~ Election Results Here ~

Mace floated in/out of never-Trump world for a while in congress and generally pontificated about things while accomplishing very little.  She eventually hung her credibility on the Epstein File stuff.  It doesn’t look like that approach worked out too well for her.

If there are other races tonight that you are interested in, feel free to drop your comments and thoughts on the races that you might be watching from your perspective tonight.

Following a very public display of horrific violence, the Irish police are asking citizens not to protest against their beheading too strongly.  The last time migrant violence was highlighted, many people in Ireland were upset.

The police request follows a Sudanese migrant who was given asylum and then attacked a man on the street with a knife, slicing his face, neck and back, gouging his eyes and then attempting to use the kitchen knife to saw off his victim’s head.

Following video of the attack becoming viral the police are concerned that too many Irish people will protest against their beheading, and that could be disturbing to the sensitivity of unlawful migrants who may not support taking off the heads of the Irish people.

According to police, not all migrants participate in the stabbing and head chopping, but they do understand the general concern stabbing and head chopping may represent.

Unfortunately, Belfast, Northern Ireland, is up in flames after anti-beheading Irish protesters torched migrant houses and targets across the city.  This is in response to the brutal knife attack on the street last night – defying government ministers’ calls for calm. (Daily Mail Article)  Apparently, there is a calm way to disagree with the premise that your head can be removed by migrants.

The Irish government is very concerned about anti-migrant sentiment being fueled by the latest visible attack by another migrant.  The police are asking people not to share information about the attack, and to support the legal rights of those who are doing the stabbing.

DAILY MAIL – […] Anti-immigrant unrest sprung up in several cities across the UK after Monday night’s attack. A 30-year-old man, described by police as a Sudanese asylum seeker who had been granted indefinite leave to remain, has been charged with attempted murder.

Multiple houses were set on fire in Belfast, along with numerous vehicles, rubble piles and street barricades. These continued to burn as night fell, attended by a vast force of firecrews.

The House Judiciary Committee held a hearing today on the topic of the Southern Poverty Law Center, operating a program to fund, organize and stimulate racist activity, just so the SPLC could fight against racism and fundraise over it.

Amid the panel of voices presented to discuss the issue is the familiar Lawfare operative, Mary McCord.  It makes sense for McCord to get invited by the HJC because McCord was lead staff for the HJC (Nadler/Schiff) during the impeachment effort.  The relationship between Mary McCord and the HJC is lengthy.

McCord noted that law enforcement agencies routinely pay for operatives to infiltrate organizations in order to target them, so congress should not be too concerned with the SPLC funding white racists for the same purpose.  What McCord carefully avoided, was noting how the SPLC is neither a law enforcement entity nor an investigative agency of the government.

I have not had time to watch the entire hearing, and I will provide more depth of review over the next few days once I have watched all of the discussion.  In the interim, these hearings are usually ‘chaff and countermeasures.’

Articulate focus with specific intent can pay dividends.  Sorry for my absence earlier today. I can confirm the first sentence, between the commas.

Against the backdrop of threats from various legislative branch members, President Donald Trump has doubled down and firmly announced that Bill Pulte will take the position of Acting DNI effective June 19th ( 😂 aka ‘Juneteenth’).

Delivering the message from his Truth Social account, President Trump has extended his plenary power and put Congress back into the position they hold in government.   If Congress wants FISA (702), then reauthorize it.  If they don’t want it, then don’t reauthorize it.  The issue matters not to the overall national security dynamic.

Kash Patel better prepare to get busy.  It’s time to put up or shut up.  If the FBI carries out a false flag operation (they’d be stupid), or if the CIA attempts to undermine the domestic national security front (they won’t), there is going to be an intense response from Trump and Pulte.

Great job President Donald Trump!

As President Donald Trump was returning to the White House after attending Game 3 of the NBA Finals between the New York Knicks and San Antonio Spurs at Madison Square Garden in New York City, he paused to deliver an impromptu press conference to the traveling press pool.

President Trump was traveling with EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum.  President Trump and Secretary Burgum delivered remarks about the restoration of the Washington DC memorials and ongoing revitalization efforts.  EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin recapped the game.

The California bespoke ballot process is unique in the nation and developed with a previous legal partnership between California politicians and former Attorney General Eric Holder.

It has been one week since election day and there are likely many more days of ballot curation ahead.  As a consequence, the republican candidate, Steve Hilton, who carries President Trump’s endorsement, is likely to be pushed into third place eliminating him from the general election.  The creation of California ballots takes time and resources.

Locally sourced, artisanal ballots can take much longer to be created and curated than in other states.

[SOURCE]

As the bespoke process now unfolds, Democrat billionaire Tom Steyer will begin the process of gaining a higher percentage of mail-in ballots than previously assigned.  Many people have questioned the length of time; however, Steyer has to make up about 300,000 votes, so the ballot counting will take longer.

Each subsequent batch now needs a controlled lift in the progression. If the ballot counting closed the gap all at once, it would look sketchy. So, the counters need to elevate Steyers percentage a little more with each batch of ballots counted. A slow climb to eventually eclipse Hilton will enable the media to justify a few more weeks of ballot curation effort.

**BUMPED**

The authority for the United States government to capture the electronic records of all Americans without warrant falls under the auspices of FISA-702.  Reauthorization of the current authority is being debated.  This is a deep walk into why this issue is so important to our government.

Having researched almost every aspect to the construct and the argument, I am confident FISA-702 authority underpins a much bigger, quasi-constitutional justification for the collection of U.S. citizen metadata.  Without the 702 authority the legal justification for the apparatus of surveillance no longer exists.  It really is that simple.

It is not the just the illegal searching of the NSA database that presents the issue, although that aspect has received the majority of attention, the capture itself violates the Fourth Amendment. The only way the government can justify the capture of U.S. Citizen data is if there is some quasi-constitutional or national security reason for it.  That’s where FISA-702 comes in.

Take away “702” search authority, and the data collection argument collapses. Any “incidental” search of the database then loses any plausible legal justification.  702 is the camel’s nose under the privacy tent that forms the baseline for all data records to be intercepted, stored and ultimately available for review.

♦ Only one legal case has ever pushed into the sphere of challenging this unconstitutional exploitation. A 2025 decision in the U.S. v. Hasbajrami in Brooklyn, New York, where Eastern District Judge LaShann DeArcy Hall identified the misuse of FISA-702 “backdoor searches” regarding defendant, Agron Hasbajrami.

Hasbajrami plead guilty to charges of attempting to provide material support to a terrorist organization, alleging that he intended to travel to the Federally Administered Tribal Area of Pakistan, where he expected to join a terrorist organization, receive training, and ultimately fight against U.S. forces and others in Afghanistan and Pakistan. However, after his guilty plea, while he is serving time in prison, prosecutors admitted some of the evidence against him came as a result of privacy violations, unlawful FISA-702 searches.
