Senators on Armed Services Committee Promote Expansion of NSA Domestic Data Gathering and Surveillance – NSA Response: “The Fourth Amendment is a “Key Obstacle” You Need to Remove

OK, before I blow a blood pressure cuff on this issue, please keep in mind the warnings provided on these pages about DHS now starting to assemble lists of dissident citizens under the guise of domestic extremists. {Go Deep}  Also remind yourself the same DHS and FBI are now using private contractors embedded in Big Tech to scour public information on social media and provide feedback to help DHS assemble those lists. {Go Deep}

Now, we take that foundation and build it one step further…. This well-written report about the recent Senate Armed Services Committee discussion with the National Security Agency (NSA) needs to be absorbed with the prior information as context.  These paragraphs are alarming in the extreme (emphasis mine):

[…] “Several members of the Senate Armed Services Committee on Thursday voiced their support for expanded authorities for the NSA and U.S. Cyber Command to conduct more intelligence gathering domestically, something that the Biden administration already is exploring, according to Gen. Paul Nakasone, who leads both agencies.”

“Former NSA general counsel Glenn Gertstell has argued that an expansion of NSA authorities to collect domestic intelligence is overdue. “It can’t possibly be the case that the Fourth Amendment ties our hands in such a way that we just have to sit there and watch the Chinese romp through our infrastructure,” he told the Wall Street Journal in March. The Fourth Amendment protects against unreasonable searches and [NSA Director] Nakasone cited it as a key obstacle to potential expansion of the NSA’s powers domestically.” (read more)

The Fourth Amendment is an “obstacle“?….  WTF kind of outlook is that.

Despite their efforts, their ongoing efforts, to destroy what remaining privacy safeguards are in place…. I do not want to live in a nation that loses the fundamental protection of the Fourth Amendment:  “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.” (citation)

Sunday Talks, A Frustrated Eric Trump Discusses How JoeBama Created The Border Crisis He Now Denies


Posted originally on the conservative tree house March 28, 2021 | Sundance | 71 Comments

Eric Trump expresses the frustrations felt by many Americans who are watching the JoeBama administration deconstruct the border protections and policies put into place by his father, President Trump.

Additionally, Maria Bartiromo asks for Trump’s perspective on the vaccine rollout, the hypocrisy of the Hunter Biden coverup and the potential for a Joe Biden executive order to initiate more gun control.

A wise quote from a friend today makes a lot of sense in the big picture…. “[A White House] memo goes out saying all communications must read “biden/harris admin” ….. [Biden publicly claims Kamala Harris in charge of “Border Crisis, but] now Kammy isn’t the border gal … but she’s doing the diplomat stuff with south of the border governments. She gets cred for that while fully insulated from the crisis that Biden won’t have to answer for in any way except preapproved questions….have to give the WH team credit for creating a perfectly bubbled environment around jumbled Joe. It’s so perfect why change it? With Joe at the helm, the WH can claim credit and deny responsibility with zero media pushback…couldn’t do that with Harris in charge. She is universally unlikeable, and so blatantly phony that her campaign couldn’t raise money….. Harris couldn’t get away with bumbling through a press conference or hiding from the world the way Joe does. I now think the WH team wants to keep pushing Joe out there for as long as possible.”

Sunday Talks, Senator Ted Cruz Discusses GOP Border Visit and Ongoing Border Crisis

Sometimes it is difficult to bite your tongue and not respond negatively to the manipulative public positioning of well known sanctimonious hypocrites.  Today, as I watched this interview with Senator Ted Cruz, my prayers were for grace amid the face the stunning & historical hypocrisy.

You see, there’s a problem with Cruz’s current position of advocacy regarding the southern border crisis… a position he must first reconcile before any credibility can be given to any statements.  Back in 2014 Ted Cruz, Glenn Beck and Dana Loesch attacked anyone who challenged them on their ridiculous public spectacle at the U.S. southern border; during their Teddy Bears and Soccer Balls tour.  More on that in a moment….

Here is Ted Cruz discussing his ‘new found’ concern about illegal aliens under the Biden administration.

In 2014 Ted Cruz, Glenn Beck and Dana Loesch went to the Texas border to deliver gifts to the incoming illegal aliens during the first of many crisis involving “Unaccompanied Alien Children.” Yes the same Dana Loesch that went on to become the spokesperson for the NRA was at the border handing out gifts to illegal border crossers under the guise of a humanitarian crisis. {Full Details Here}

Beck and Cruz were passing out Teddy Bears and Soccer Balls, while Catholic Charities and Baptist Child and Family Services were getting millions. The inner-city American kids? Well, nothing for them…. not even a word from DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson. But, oh yeah, Black Lives Matter, right? I digress.  All of this is well documented in the links above. It’s all there for those who have eyes to see and a capability of being intellectually honest.

When Clarice Feldman, Thomas Lifson (American Thinker) and myself called-out their enabling conduct, the trio of Cruz, Beck and Loesch went bananas and launched a full-throated attack against us for calling them out. Seven years later Ted Cruz apparently wants everyone to forget what he did to create the environment that now exists as the UAC issue on steroids happens again.

♦ Ted Cruz was for South American Refugees (2014 – link) “Soccer Ball and Teddy Bear Delivery” before he was against SA/Mexican refugees and promoting a border wall (2015) – He cannot square that factual circle ~ Research Outline
♦ Ted Cruz was for Trade Promotion Authority (2015 – link), before he was against Trade Promotion Authority (2015) – He cannot square that factual circle. ~ Research Outline
♦ Ted Cruz was for Taking More Syrian Refugees (2014 – link), specifically dismissing the threat of terror embeds, before he was against taking Syrian Refugees (2015 – link) – He cannot square that factual circle. ~ Research Outline
♦ Ted Cruz was against Ethanol Subsidies (2013 – link), before he was for Ethanol Subsidies (2016 – link) – He cannot square that factual circle. ~ Research Outline
♦ Ted Cruz was for Anchor Baby Birthright Citizenship (2011 – link), before he was against “birthright citizenship” (2015 – link) – He cannot square that factual circle. ~ Research Outline
♦ Ted Cruz was for the Iran Deal “Corker Cardin Amendment” (2015 – link), before he was against the Iran Deal (2015 – link) – He cannot square that factual circle. ~ Research Outline
♦ Ted Cruz was for Mitch McConnell (2014 – link), before he was against Mitch McConnell (2014 link) – He cannot square that factual circle. ~ Research outline
♦ Ted Cruz was against Chris McDaniel (2014 – link), before he was for Chris McDaniel (2015) – He cannot square that factual circle – Research outline

Yes, we have a crisis at the southern border; however, it is a crisis that Ted Cruz has always wind-tested his response toward.

The Trojan Pig

The Socialist Democrats are doing what they love best—spending other people’s money.

Their latest spending bill is designed to combat the bunk that is ‘climate change’ by installing AOC’s “New Green Deal.” Vast sums will be spent to create the infrastructure for the thing, and simultaneously our fossil fuel industry will be destroyed. Our energy independence will be destroyed as well. So will our economy. Not China’s economy, though. They get to continue to pollute and burn coal. Their enemy is the USA and it will collapse for their benefit.

But that’s what the Socialists Democrats want—the destruction of America. It will be replaced with a totalitarian Chinese system—only America will not be nationalist like China. It will be globalist in nature. Powerful globalists are pulling the strings behind the scenes to make it happen and they will become even more powerful.

That’s what’s really hiding in Pelosi’s Trojan PIg—globalist totalitarianism.

The Fraud in Georgia


Armstrong Economics Blog/Conspiracy Re-Posted Mar 17, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

The Washington Post has been forced, no doubt begrudgingly, a retraction from two months after they published a story that made it sound like Trump was trying to rig the election speaking to an elections investigator in Georgia. The Post reported in January that the then President had spoken to Frances Watson in December, asking her to “find the fraud” in the state and that she would be a “national hero” if she did. The Washington Post has said that the quotes were based on “information provided by a source” which was obviously anti-Trump. Biden had won Georgia by 12,000 votes and the last time any Democrat won that state was Clinton back in 1992. Our models clearly showed that Trump should have won Georgia with 3 out of 4 models confirming that.

A staffer investigating the election fraud in Georgia was killed in an accident that was a fireball and highly unusual. The prosecutor then investigating this accident was found dead shot in the head. There was just no way our model was wrong on Georgia. After the Washington Post ran the story with the fake quote, CNN, ABC News, NBC News, and USA Today all subsequently claimed that they had “confirmed” that the Washington Post’s reporting was true.

Now what is really interesting is that the phone call that was erased from Ms. Watson’s device and was recovered by officials responding to a freedom-of-information request. The quotes that were then attributed to President Trump by an anonymous source were outright lies.

Trump did not tell the investigator to ‘find the fraud’ or say she would be ‘a national hero’ if she did so. Instead, Trump simply told the investigator to audit ballots in Fulton County, stating he believed she would find ‘dishonesty’ there and that she had ‘the most important job in the country right now’.

There is no question that a TON of money was in play to overthrow Trump to push this Great Reset on a global scale. Interestingly, Biden said he would immediately rejoin the UN’s Paris Climate Agreement and he would use the power of the US to force China to comply. China, the world’s top producer of carbon pollution, looms large in any climate discussion because it pledges to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2060.  The UN has been pushing itself as a new one-world government over the environment claiming that a single nation cannot solve the problem.

The fraud in the US elections was ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL to pushing the World Economic Forum & Klaus Schwab’s agenda. This was not about Trump v Biden. This was an election that was interfered with from international sources combined with domestic. Claims this was China interfering I do not see has solid merit. The real source of funds for all the brides and threats did not come from China. They are desperate to create this Cancel Culture which is the same political agenda used by the Communists during the Russian Revolution.

It seems very curious that now the US Intelligence is pointing the finger at Russia and Iran influencing the 2020 election in their latest report which was declassified and released Tuesday by U.S. intelligence officials. However, to ensure it does not upset Biden, they quickly added that U.S. officials did not find evidence that foreign actors tried to alter “technical” aspects of the voting process, such as voter registration files or vote counting. They merely “spread false or inflated claims about alleged compromises of voting systems to undermine public confidence in election processes and results,” according to their latest questionable report. In truth, what they are trying to do is now claim that Russia engaged in a broad effort to undermine U.S. public confidence in the election. This is really double-talk because the US does the very same thing in all foreign elections. Remember Obama telling the Brits to get to the back of the line if they dared to vote for BREXIT.

This is just part of the latest smoke-screen because the real interference was a direct assault on the election process and that did not involve either Russia or China. Both had everything to lose with a Biden victory for Biden has simply handed power to the United Nations to impose Climate Change agenda with the argument it will take one government to save the planet.

Our models are also warning that the March 2020 COVID Crash was also an attempt to create another economic collapse but far worse than 2007-2009. In that respect, they failed because the smart money smelled endless government debt at artificially deflated interest rates.  The high in the PE Ratio took place in 2009 at the bottom of the share market as capital moved to equities fearing both government and banks. Note that as of March 2021, we are retesting the 40:1 level illustrating that capital is once against starting to seek shelter from bonds, banks, and governments.

The Big Government Taker


Re-Posted from GrrrGraphics.com MAR 15, 2021 AT 7:53 AM

What Government can give, Government can take away

“Give us more, boy”

The Big Government  Taker used 9-11 to take away most of our 4th Amendment. Many lives were also taken when we were forced to fight endless wars in the Mideast. Now the artificial crisis known as COVID-19 has enabled The Big Government  Taker to remove even more of our rights. People were/are locked down, forced to wear masks, and socially distanced. They complied at every turn.

Then our free speech, at least for conservatives, was taken away on the most popular social media sites. The virus enabled widespread mail-in balloting, which was blatantly corrupted. Other shenanigans followed. The virus enabled our votes to be taken away. The Big Government  Taker rigged the election for Biden.

Who constitutes The Big Government  Taker? The usual suspects.

The centi-billionaires and illuminati who are accustomed to taking. They call themselves ‘the elite.’ They are not the elite—they are simply psychopathic globalists who continue to seize more power because we allow them to do it. We should call them ‘elitists,’ not the elite.’ We should not allow them to become our psychological masters.

They’ve taken away our town square social media soap box. Then the ballot box was taken away in a rigged election. We must not let them take away the ammo box. The Second Amendment is our last means of defending ourselves from genocidal maniacs who would love to drag us off to FEMA camps for forced vaccination—or worse.

We can’t let them take our firearms or our ammo boxes. If we do, get ready to live in a high tech prison world where we will have become citizen cattle subject to any whimsey from totalitarians such as Bill Gates. He’s the ultimate taker, he wants to take your life.

MAKE AMERICA SANE AGAIN


America was always great before Joe stumbled in, but to a watching world seems to have lost all common sense and sanity now that he’s here

Posted originally on the Canada Free Press By Judi McLeod Bio and ArchivesMarch 14, 2021

In just four short months we’ve gone from the need to ‘Make America Great Again’ to ‘Make America Sane Again’.

In case not everybody has noticed, there’s a visibly befuddled and doddering old man in the White House, posing as the president.

Not having breathed any fresh air for a whole year, hiding out in his own basement, he thinks easing the nation-wide Lockdown by allowing small backyard barbecues to celebrate the July 4th holiday is downright magnanimous.

Befuddled and doddering old dude, posing as president in the White House

Someone must have clued him in that a healthy civilized society can’t live forever behind locked doors.

Alarmingly, the befuddled and doddering old dude, posing as president in the White House, is flooding the southern border with illegal aliens—then calling for volunteers to control them!

Even with his mentor Barack Obama now working on stealing the next election, courtesy of an official Redistricting, the Democrats need as many illegal aliens as possible let in over the border to keep them in perpetual power.

Any among the citizenry who dare to point out that what Biden’s doing is plain “NUTS!” will be media-smeared as someone who is non-compassionate for poking fun at a public official who is allegedly in the early stages of dementia.

Poor Joe will be relieved of Oval Office duty as soon as the Dems can get away with replacing him with Kamala Harris—-their plan from the get-go.

The leaves on the laurel wreath the media placed on his head to celebrate him as ‘President Elect’ have already withered and died, replaced by his trademark dark sun glasses and face mask.

While Biden zooms in on us from the New Twilight Zone called the Internet, his mostly MIA congress escape in-person scrutiny courtesy of a razor-edged fence backed up by National Guard Troops.



July 4th: Government Dependence Day

Maybe Biden, a bigger Artful Dodger than even Barack Obama, sees the July 4th cookout as their Coming Out Party.

Democrats just love hot-dogging it!

For the citizenry whose $1,400 Covid Relief Government checks will have long run out by July 4th, with bills that need to be paid mounting up, it will be back to Government Dependence Day.

It doesn’t take a Columbo to figure out why the Twilight Zone President chose July 4th to celebrate his having vanquished a pandemic that can be trusted not to flare up over the summer months but expected to return with a vengeance in the annual fall Flu season.

So easy to scare the masses when you know what to use well ahead of time.

Thanks to former president Donald Trump we now understand the full scope of the illicit drug and human trafficking across the border.  But President Joe is looking for volunteers to aid and abet it!

Meanwhile, Biden’s administration will continue to throw wads of money at their Chicom friends;  at the already lucrative abortion industry, and continue erasing the sovereignty of the U.S.

Democrats still haven’t figured out that people will never be what the government wants them to be

The troubling issue of when to send kids back to school will have melted in the summer sun when all school age children will be on summer holidays.

But continuing to confuse them about their genders will pick up again come September.

The Democrats still haven’t figured out that people will never be what the government wants them to be, but will always be what God Almighty made them to be—daughters and sons made in His image.

While waiting for the miraculous turn around on July 4th, retire your MAGA cap for now and replace it with the reality in which we now all live, the one that begs to ‘Make America Sane’ again.

America was always great before Joe stumbled in, but to a watching world seems to have lost all common sense and sanity now that he’s here.

Minneapolis City Council Agrees to Give Family of George Floyd $27 Million in Taxpayer Funded Settlement


Posted originally on the conservative tree house March 12, 2021 | Sundance | 163 Comments

The Minneapolis City Council has agreed to give the family of George Floyd $27 million in the largest settlement in the city’s history.  The massive civil settlement comes on the heels of congress passing a massive city and state bailout bill under the auspices of COVID.  [Statement from Ben Crump HERE]

It is not a stretch to see a situation where Minneapolis is paying out this $27 million settlement because they now have an influx of federal cash to support or replace it.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The city of Minneapolis on Friday agreed to pay $27 million to settle a civil lawsuit from George Floyd’s family over the Black man’s death in police custody, even as jury selection continued in a former officer’s murder trial.

The Minneapolis City Council emerged from closed session to announce the record settlement, which includes $500,000 for the neighborhood where Floyd was arrested. Floyd family attorney Ben Crump called a news conference for 1 p.m. that was to include family members.

Crump, in a prepared statement, said it was the largest pretrial civil rights settlement ever, and “sends a powerful message that Black lives do matter and police brutality against people of color must end.” (read more)

Pressure Increases on Governor Andrew Cuomo to Resign Following Sexual Harassment Claims, Cuomo Defiant Says He Will Not Resign


Posted originally on the conservative tree house March 12, 2021 | Sundance | 198 Comments

Half of New York’s democrats are now asking Governor Andrew Cuomo to resign following six women stepping forward with details of sexual harassment.  However, the New York governor, who is also guilty of killing thousands of elderly residents with his COVID nursing home rules, is defiant in his media statements today.

ALBANY, N.Y. — (AP) — As the Democratic Party turned sharply against New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and he faces growing allegations of sexual harassment, he insisted Friday he wouldn’t resign and castigated politicians calling for him to quit as “reckless and dangerous” and engaging in “cancel culture.”

“I did not do what has been alleged. Period,” he said, again calling on the public to let ongoing investigations into his conduct to play out. “Wait for the facts.”  “Politicians who don’t know a single fact but yet form a conclusion and an opinion are, in my opinion, reckless and dangerous,” he added.

With a sprawling coalition of congressional leaders joining dozens of state lawmakers in calling for the embattled governor to step down, the Democrat hit back.  “You need to know the facts before you make a decision,” he said. “People know the difference between playing politics, bowing to cancel culture and the truth.”

Cuomo’s growing list of detractors now covers virtually every region in the state and the political power centers of New York City and Washington. His allies insist he will not resign, but as allegations of sexual harassment grow, his political isolation has reached unprecedented levels. (read more)

The *REAL* Insurrection Effort in Portland Oregon, Rioters Set Fire to Federal Courthouse, Break Windows


Posted originally on the conservative tree house March 12, 2021 | Sundance | 208 Comments

The irony over the deployment of the national guard, fencing and barbed wire around the DC capitol exists because there never has been a “right-wing extremist”  insurrection effort in DC yet the Biden administration and Democrats use that false narrative as justification for Speaker Pelosi’s armed encampment.  The U.S. media are currently pushing that false narrative with every opportunity.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the nation in Portland Oregon, an actual “left-wing extremist” insurrection effort has been taking place for months; yet the national media ignore it and the Biden administration -together with Speaker Pelosi- pretend not to know about it.

(Screengrab source)

(Oregon) – Dozens of violent anti-cop protesters clad in black descended upon an Oregon courthouse, where they set fires and damaged the building Thursday night as federal officers responded with tear gas and flash-bang grenades, according to video and reports.

Footage from outside the Mark O. Hatfield US Courthouse in downtown Portland late Thursday shows a small fire outside the building, which was tagged with graffiti in support of the Black Lives Matter movement and the anti-police acronym “ACAB” – for “All cops are bastards.”

Droves of federal officers in riot gear can be seen pouring out of the building in response to the chaos, firing less-lethal munitions at the crowd assembled across the street.

The clash came after a group of roughly 60 demonstrators had earlier ripped down plywood and covered parts of the building with graffiti over the course of two hours, KOIN reported.

Robert King, the mayor’s senior public safety adviser, said the group leading the recent protests in the city is made up of “self-described anarchists,” the outlet said. (read more)

Think about what a precarious position our nation faces:

♦ The institution of the U.S. Department of Justice, Main Justice and all State branches, is lost to a radical left-wing ideology that doesn’t even try to hide their political biases; and they are engaged in open efforts to target political opponents they consider adverse to their agenda.

♦ The institution of the FBI is now weaponized and lost to a radical left-wing ideological mindset; yes this includes the “rank and file”.  The FBI openly castigates challenges of their bias by pushing a false notion of “domestic terrorism” via non-existent right-wing extremists.  They do this while simultaneously ignoring actual domestic terrorism simply because it comes from the leftist side of their political tribe.

♦ The institutions of the U.S. intelligence apparatus are completely compromised in every agency.  Political operatives now control all levels of national security and are willing to compromise the safety of the American people simply to push an ideological agenda.   The intelligence apparatus does this while simultaneously conducting intrusive -and unlawful- electronic surveillance on the American electorate.

♦ The institution of the U.S. military is now lost to a radical agenda of cultural Marxism.  The efficient and ultimate purpose of the military, to defend the nation and kill threats, has now been reduced to an organizational goal of diversity and political correctness.

These four statements are not hyperbole, they are the reality of our current situation.

I am optimistic about the final outcome, but there is a certain amount of visible desperation to get as many leftist goals achieved before they are destroyed.
