The Coyote and the Roadrunner-Washington DC style

In the most epic battle in his career. Congressman Adam Schiff is once again searching for what is going to justify his actions. He is taking on the characteristics of a coyote. A Wylie E. Coyote as he tracks his prey who is the rightfully elected President of the people, Donald J.Trump, also known by the codename "Roadrunner".


Each and everyday Wylie waits desperately for vindication and success. But to no avail. He has until November 2020 to pull it off or don't even bother. Everything will have dramatically changed after that. He may not have the majority like he does now.

Susan Rice spying scandal misses the point

From Campaign For Liberty:

When it comes to the Susan Rice spying scandal and unmasking the names of Trump staffers “incidentally” picked up in foreign surveillance, the pundits are missing the forest for the trees.

The moment Susan Rice chose to unmask the names of Americans, and likely leak the details of their conversation throughout the Obama administration, it’s clear she had sinister intent.

Some argue what she did wasn't illegal under the dramatically expanded powers Congress unconstitutionally handed intelligence agencies in the name of "fighting terrorism."

But that's exactly the problem!

The real point of this whole ordeal is whether or not the government should have the power to get this information at all.

There’s no denying anymore that the Deep State is being politically weaponized.

And it’s only a matter of time until all of us feel the crunch.

For years, Campaign for Liberty has fought back against the surveillance powers being accumulated under the executive branch.

We warned Congress and the American people that left to their own devices, the Deep State and the administration that oversees it would abuse its authority.

Power corrupts. And the tools the Congress has empowered America’s spy agencies with are simply too powerful to be allowed to continue.

Susan Rice spying on the incoming administration to gain valuable political intelligence ought to be a criminal offense.

That it may not be one at the moment should concern every American. . .

You see if the government is allowed to continue “incidentally” collecting conversations between Americans and foreign citizens, eventually it won’t just be political staffers’ conversations they’re monitoring.

It’ll be yours and mine!

While Section 702 explicitly prohibits intentional targeting of American citizens, the Susan Rice spying scandal shows exactly how the program can be used to catch them “incidentally.”

The NSA regularly intercepts information of innocent Americans without any probable cause or warrant.

In fact, several other instances of abuse exist outside of the Susan Rice spying scandal like,

>>> Employees monitoring communications of their ex-boyfriends and girlfriends -- it occurred so often it was assigned the name, “LOVEINT”;

>>> In one instance, a “programming error” confused the US area code 202 (Washington, D.C.) for the Egyptian country code “20” intercepting a “large number” of calls placed from Washington;

>>> In 2011, the FISA Court (intended to “oversee” the surveillance) ruled that NSA collection of Internet communications violated the 4th Amendment because, even with their “minimization procedures,” the agency was still collecting 56,000 American emails a year.

Section 702 is precisely the type of surveillance used against the colonists that led our Founding Fathers to fight a revolution over!

That’s why this summer, when Section 702 of the FISA Amendments Act comes up for reauthorization, you and I must be ready to mobilize on this opportunity.

I’m preparing an all-out assault on the surveillance state, but I need to know you’re with me.

That’s why I’ve prepared a brief Statement of Support for you to sign.

It lets Dr. Paul and I know that you’ll stand with Campaign for Liberty and the members of Congress who lead the fight against renewing Section 702 this summer.

Our efforts in 2015 led to a temporary expiration of the controversial Patriot Act provisions, preventing Congress from further watering down the so-called “USA FREEDOM Act.”

Americans must demand that Congress stop the mass surveillance of innocent Americans’ communications and conduct a full Congressional investigation into the Susan Rice spying scandal.

I’ll be sure to follow-up with more information detailing our plans and how you can help to fight back against illegal spying.

But for now, I hope you’ll sign your Statement of Support and chip in $10 or even $20 to let us know you’re ready for a fight!

In Liberty,

Norm Singleton
President

P.S. The warrantless surveillance of Americans like that of the Trump staffers by political cronies like Susan Rice must be stopped!

Please sign your Statement of Support and chip in whatever you can afford today to help Campaign for Liberty prepare our all-out assault on the Deep State this summer.

Hold Hillary Clinton accountable

From Judicial Watch:

Have you seen the news?

Judicial Watch just broke open yet another Hillary Clinton scandal. We released new emails that show a foreign billionaire donor to the Clinton Foundation getting special attention from the Clinton State Department.

This bombshell discovery is being reported everywhere, and is the result of Judicial Watch’s sharp legal and investigative efforts.

You can see how Judicial Watch is your most effective way to hold corrupt politicians accountable to the law.

We will continue our litigation and investigation into Hillary Clinton’s email to get the truth about Ms. Clinton’s scandals. In fact, we’re asking a federal court to allow us to question Hillary Clinton under oath about the email issue.

Will you make a generous donation to Judicial Watch right now to help us continue our successful work to expose, combat, and stop government corruption?

Defund Planned Parenthood

From Rand2016:

Bulk discounts for baby body parts?

The more I learn about Planned Parenthood's racket, aborting unborn children and then selling off their organs, the more my head spins.

This cannot be tolerated. It's up to you and me to ensure my colleagues in Congress take action -- NOW. No one else will do it for us.

So won't you please sign your "Stand for Life: Defund Planned Parenthood" Petition immediately?

Yesterday it was revealed that one of the vendors that sells body parts for Planned Parenthood once offered "bulk discounts" for aborted baby body parts.

In their advertisements, they even bragged their body parts were "fresh."

"Fresh" baby body parts. This callous disrespect for human life sickens me.

That's why it's time to DEFUND Planned Parenthood immediately!

Since Congress holds the power of the purse, this is one measure Congress can take now -- even with President Obama in the White House.

And I believe a victory here will translate into even bigger victories for pro-lifers as Members of Congress who choose to vote to keep funding Planned Parenthood will pay a severe political price in 2016, paving the way for a pro-life President to sign pro-life legislation into law.

If elected President, I will do everything I can to end abortion-on-demand in America.

That's my pledge to you.

So please sign your "Stand for Life: Defund Planned Parenthood" Petition immediately.

After you've signed your petition, I hope you'll please agree to chip in a contribution of $20.16 right away.

Your contribution will help me mobilize as many folks across the country as possible to ensure Congress takes action immediately to DEFUND Planned Parenthood!

Thank you in advance for your support.

In Liberty,

Rand Paul

Hillary Clinton caught in scandal

From Stop Hillary PAC:

Hillary is in more trouble than you might think.

We all know Hillary is complicit in the deaths of four Americans when she left them to burn in Benghazi.

You also know Hillary Clinton is currently under investigation by the federal government for federal election law violations and conspiring with her Super PAC (Ready for Hillary) -- a PAC being run run by her longtime political henchmen.

But until now, she has not been held accountable for anything.

That is about to change.

Hillary is now caught in another major scandal. Just this morning, the Washington Post and Fox News reported that Hillary is being implicated in a pay-to-play scheme that started while she was Secretary of State and involves the former Soviet Union, the Boeing company and her so-called "non-profit" -- the Clinton Foundation.

With your immediate help, Stop Hillary PAC is leading the way insisting Hillary be held accountable, FINALLY!

Here is what I need you to do right away -- click here and sign your "Hold Hillary Accountable" Petition immediately. The American people must demand Hillary is finally held accountable and that starts now, with your signed petition.

Your petition along with thousands of others will be delivered to the House Government Oversight Committee in Congress, the Federal Department of Justice and the Federal Election Commission.

Let me explain why this is so important:

According to breaking news airing on Fox News Channel TODAY, during her tenure as Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton likely set aside Ethics rules in order to participate in a scandalous pay-to-play scheme.

After playing fast and loose with the ethics rules, Clinton appears to have to set up an elaborate pay-to-play network that included helping Boeing secure a multi-BILLION dollar airline contract with Russia in exchange Boeing's $900,000 donation to the Clinton Foundation!

Here is how it went down.

In 2009 Hillary Clinton pressured Russian government officials to sign a multi-billion dollar deal to buy dozens of Boeing aircrafts for Rosavia, a new state-owned Russian airline.

Clinton EVEN admitted, "this is a shameless pitch for Rosavia...to buy Boeing aircraft."

In May of 2010, Clinton's pay-to-play scheme was realized when Russia signed a deal with Boeing worth $3.7 billion. And as a thank you, the Clinton Foundation received a $900,000 donation just TWO MONTHS later.

Hillary Clinton set aside ethics rules AND leveraged her position as Secretary of State to secure a $900,000 donation to the Clinton Foundation.

If you agree it is high time we hold Hillary Clinton accountable, I need you to immediate sign your "Hold Hillary Account" Petition today, and we will immediately deliver you signed petition directly to federal authorities tasked with investigating Hillary Clinton.

We, with your help, are demanding a full investigation from the House Government Oversight Committee in Congress, the Federal Department of Justice, and the Federal Election Commission.

Can I count on you to click here and sign your petition? We need your action in the next 24 hours to ensure a full investigation to finally hold Hillary accountable.

I'm counting on you to sign this petition and chip in at least $5 to help us spread this petition to more American patriots like yourself.

This is mission-critical and a defining moment in Hillary's run for the White House...

I fear, without your help today -- just like Benghazi -- Hillary's actions could be whitewashed.

One last thing, fighting Hillary Clinton in front of Congress, the Department of Justice, and the Federal Election Commission is not cheap, but it's an absolutely critical fight necessary to defeat Hillary once and for all.

So please, sign the "Hold Hillary Accountable" petition within the next 24 hours and agree to your most generous contribution of $100, $50, $25 -- or even $5 -- IMMEDIATELY.

Thanks so much for your support.

Sincerely,
Ted Harvey
Senator Ted Harvey (R)
Colorado State Senator
Co-Founder, Stop Hillary PAC

P.S. Until now, Hillary Clinton has not been held accountable for anything -- not the four dead Americans in Benghazi, not her many campaign finance violations -- NOTHING! That is about to change.

P.P.S. If you agree it's time we hold Hillary Clinton accountable, then I need you to immediate sign your "Hold Hillary account" Petition today. We are demanding federal authorities investigate Hillary Clinton, and after signing, I hope you will agree to chip in your most generous contribution to date of $100, $50, $25 -- or even $5.

IRS,Benghazi and gun control catching up with Obama

Analysis: Controversies give Obama new governing headaches
ReutersBy Fred Barbash | Reuters – 9 hrs ago..

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama learned on Monday what can happen to presidents caught up in allegations of scandal: they have to address them instead of anything else. It happened when the president had to interrupt his news conference with Prime Minister David Cameron of Britain to answer questions about the widening investigation into the Benghazi attacks in Libya and the Internal Revenue Service's targeting of Tea Party and other conservative groups.

By the end of the day he was facing a third major problem when the Associated Press said the Department of Justice had secretly seized some of its reporters' phone records last year. It is all leading to comparisons with the second term of President Bill Clinton, in which his agenda was severely disrupted by the Monica Lewinsky scandal. Obama, unlike Clinton, has not been accused of personal misconduct. But his ability to steer the Washington "conversation" could be compromised.

"I think the IRS scandal comes at a very inopportune time for the president and the Democratic agenda," said Sarah Binder, a George Washington University scholar of Congress. "The challenge for Obama and the Democrats in the coming weeks and months will be to keep the public's attention focused on Obama's policy goals when Republicans and the media will be focused on scandal."

The problems for Obama and Democrats may be worsened as well by the nature of the IRS behavior: targeting groups for extra scrutiny based on their political leanings reinforces the notion of big government pursuing citizens exercising constitutional rights. It could feed into gun rights activists' worries about slippery slopes that lead to gun confiscation or gun-owner registries, said one Republican Senate aide, or fears of government "takeovers" of healthcare.

Ron Bonjean, a veteran Republican aide on Capitol Hill who is now a consultant, said even though the IRS is an independent agency, the White House can expect to be blamed by the public for any wrongdoing by it. "The public sees the IRS as part of the federal government, which the White House controls," Bonjean said.

The same might be said of the news that broke Monday that the Justice Department secretly obtained two months of telephone records of reporters and editors for the Associated Press.

'WAY OFF MESSAGE'

The potential risk is high for Obama and the Democrats.

The Democratic-controlled Senate is considering a comprehensive bipartisan immigration bill that already faces a rough road in the Republican-controlled House, where suspicion of the Obama administration runs highest. "The political fallout will be very damaging for the administration," said Bonjean.

"This will be another issue that takes the administration way off message," he said. "There's no way they can punch through with a positive agenda while investigations of the IRS are going on." The IRS scandal could easily spill over into the 2014 mid-term election year.

A week ago, Obama was confronting a single investigative proceeding on Capitol Hill on the subject of the deadly attacks on the U.S. mission in Benghazi, Libya, last September. It was attracting relatively little public attention outside conservative circles, and he could dismiss as partisan because only Republicans were pushing it. On Monday he confronted the prospect of multiple probes, with those into the IRS backed by Obama's Democratic allies in Congress as Democrats moved quickly to show they were as concerned as Republicans about alleged IRS abuses.

On top of that, the AP is assessing options for legal action in response to the government's actions, said David Schulz, an attorney representing the AP.

White House spokesman Jay Carney said the White House was not involved in the decision to seize the AP records.

The administration's chief opponent in Congress of late -Representative Darrell Issa of California - threatened to add the AP issue to the list of things he is already probing, which include Benghazi and the IRS scandal. Even without charges of personal misconduct, "staying coherent" in pursuit of an agenda is much more challenging for a president than it was in the Clinton years, said one of his former press secretaries, Mike McCurry.

"The environment for communications is so much more complicated now because you have this voracious social media environment in which everything is magnified," he said. "We didn't have that. You could have congressional inquiries and scandals but you could calibrate a little bit and keep an agenda in play."

I figure Jay Carney goes home everynight and gets drunk. I figure a lot of these guys do,it's the only way they can cope with the bullshit they spew. Being Obama's Press Secretary is like being Bill Clinton's (or Hillary's) Press Secretary: you're going to lie your ass off. That is a given. For those of you that have Metallica's King Nothing now would be a good time to play it.
