Obama tries to calm fears about NSA by lying. Here's a telling description.

"President Obama couldn't say it—he denied it repeatedly in fact—but Edward Snowden was very much the reason he felt compelled to stand before the national press on a sun-baked Friday August afternoon and attempt to explain why his administration would pursue reforms of its counterterrorism programs even though—and this is the tricky part—he wouldn't concede that those programs are flawed in any way."

Obama doesn't run the government. The NSA does, and Obama does what the NSA tells him.

While Obama was lying about spying in a press conference, the Justice Department released its legal justification for widespread spying on Americans.

I predicted that states will break up before any try to secede from the union. It looks like the people in UP Michigan are trying that.

Gallop records lowest approval rating for Obama yet at 41 percent.

I'm not the only one questioning this Silicon Valley startup deal with Newark Mayor Cory Booker.

"The New York Times renewed the spotlight on Waywire this week, questioning how a full-time mayor managed to launch an online video company, raise investments from the Oprah’s and Google’s of the world, and amass a potentially multi-million dollar stake. Booker’s opponents, in both parties, are seizing on the story to attack him, and it could persist through the general election."

This deal is bizarre.
