Yeah, I can see your point. You'd have to sacrifice at least two Uporn visits to make the time...😝😂😂 Let us not denounce Uporn. I won’t stand for that. Nah, you probably recline, at least sit, for that!😝 |

How is this not an act of war? An Iranian lawmaker announced a 3 million dollar award to “whoever kills Trump”, Iranian semi-official News agency reported. “On behalf of people of Kerman province, we will pay 3 million dollar award in cash to whoever kills Trump,” Ahmad Hamzeh told parliamentarians, according to ISNA. He did not elaborate whether it was a decision made by Iran’s clerical rulers to threaten US President Donald Trump. Kerman is the hometown of Qassem Soleimani, Iran’s top commander of the Quds Force who was killed by a US drone on Jan. 3 in Iraq. The democrats are trying to figure out how to get away with it and collect the bounty. |

Agree...not like this guy is some crazy with a tinfoil hat in his moms basement. He’s an official from a hostile foreign government. I would absolutely support him being on the other end of one of our spec ops snipers. |

Is the so called media interested in abuse of power?
At least two of the FBI’s surveillance applications to secretly monitor former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page lacked probable cause, according to a newly declassified summary of a Justice Department assessment released Thursday by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC).
The DOJ's determination essentially means that the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant authorizations to surveil Page, when stripped of the FBI's misinformation, did not meet the necessary legal threshold and should never have been issued.
“Today’s unprecedented court filing represents another step on the road to recovery for America’s deeply damaged judicial system," Page said in a statement to Fox News. "I hope that this latest admission of guilt for these civil rights abuses by the Justice Department marks continued progress towards restoring justice and remedying these reputationally ruinous injuries.”

Getting a warrant is actually pretty simple and easy...as long as you have the required evidence. Its when cops want to fudge the facts for a warrant they want, but know a judge who has all the info won’t sign, that it gets complicated. Secret courts like this are a perfect breeding ground for that kind of abuse. |

So I just came back from Dubai and I have to say the liberal media has done a very good job of making sure only their message gets out to foreign countries. The only US based news channel in most every country I visit is CNN. No Fox News no....oh that's right, there is only one opposition news source on TV.

In Dubai close to 90% of the population are ex pats. Most from neighboring countries but some Americans as well. I can tell you the Chinese want him out. So the DNC does have a partner in the PRC. |

The latest changes in the middle-upper levels of the management of our company and the latest quality of our products led me to believe that if the product is conceived, designed, implemented, tested and deployed by Indians, it shall have the Indian quality.
I might need to examine the job market, how unexpectedly.

The Department of Defense may have used taxpayer funds to pay longtime informant Stefan Halper, a Cambridge University professor, to recruit members of the Trump campaign as sources in the run-up to the 2016 election, Finance Committee Chairman Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, said in an explosive letter on Wednesday.
Grassley, writing to James Baker, the director of the Office of Net Assessment (ONA) at the Defense Department, or DOD, also flagged other suspicious payments to Halper -- including some for DOD contracts that he may not have performed, and others from "unknown" foreign entities. (In response to a lawsuit last year alleging that he was part of a smear campaign to discredit the Trump campaign, Halper claimed a kind of immunity ordinarily afforded to government agents.)
The GOP senator asserted that it was "unacceptable" that the DOD spent most of 2019 dodging his requests for information about Halper's contacts with U.S. officials, before saying that the information the DOD has provided raised more troubling questions. The ONA essentially functions as the Pentagon's internal think tank.
In one DOD contract awarded in September 2015, Grassley noted, "Professor Halper lists former Deputy Foreign Minister for Russia, Vyacheslav Trubnikov, as a consultant and advisor to a paper delivered" to ONA.
That's significant, Grassley went on, because Trubnikov is a "known Russian intelligence officer, who was listed by Christopher Steele as a source in the now-debunked Steele dossier, which was used as a predicate to obtain a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant to surveil Trump campaign adviser Carter Page."
Page previously told Fox News that Halper "intensified" communications with him just prior to the FISA warrant application.

Repeal the FISA. I would vote most any candidate who set that as a goal. TRO Agree and to me this should be bipartisan. Forget about the current situation. This one will bite us again for sure. It’s unfortunately bipartisan in that both sides want to keep the power we have ceded to them. This is nothing new - most around here have been very much against FISA since we finally found out about the true scope of that law. Instead of repealing FISA, we are instead getting a lot of bipartisan bloviating about repealing section 230 of the communications decency act. TRO |

Yale strikes again: Yale will stop teaching a storied introductory survey course in art history, citing the impossibility of adequately covering the entire field — and its varied cultural backgrounds — in one course. Decades old and once taught by famous Yale professors like Vincent Scully, “Introduction to Art History: Renaissance to the Present” was once touted to be one of Yale College’s quintessential classes. But this change is the latest response to student uneasiness over an idealized Western “canon” — a product of an overwhelmingly white, straight, European and male cadre of artists. |

The so called media:
ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos was caught on camera making a throat-slash gesture as the Disney-owned network cut away from President Trump lawyer Jay Sekulow taking questions from the press on Thursday during coverage of the Senate impeachment trial.
Stephanopoulos, a former President Clinton staffer, was presumably signaling to producers to scrap Sekulow’s thoughts on the impeachment trial. ABC aired a few minutes of Sekulow updating reporters on his plans. After explaining that Trump’s legal team will call witnesses who don’t think alleged actions are impeachable, the camera cut back to Stephanopoulos, who was making the throat-slash gesture.
Stephanopoulos then smirked, appearing to realize his gesture was caught on live television.
“And that is Jay Sekulow right there,” Stephanopoulos told viewers before quickly moving along to a panel discussion.
