Politics

The deeper people investigate claims Russians hacked the DNC, the more evidence they find to the contrary.

The Trump-Russia story is fake news.

While leftist claims she can be black the same way men and women can claim to be the opposite sex, throwing the left into a tizzy.

Now that Trump has evidence of the deep state spying on him, will he fight or submit? I think he'll fight. He said he would before he was elected.

"So, were Trump and his associates “wiretapped?” Of course not. Wiretapping went out of vogue decades ago, having been rendered obsolete by leaps in surveillance technology.
The real question is: Were Trump and his associates surveilled? Wake up, America. Was no one paying attention to the disclosures from NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden in 2013 when he exposed Director of National Intelligence James Clapper as a liar for denying that the NSA engaged in bulk collection of communications inside the United States.
The reality is that EVERYONE, including the President, is surveilled. The technology enabling bulk collection would have made the late demented FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover’s mouth water." 

But nobody cares.

Obama's loosened spying rules is the Watergate of our time.

Campaign to buy and publish browsing histories of representatives who overturned privacy protections.

War

Trump increases drone strikes.

"In Syria: “A drone attack in northern Syria, part of a series of recent strikes by the United States in and around the province of Idlib, killed a top al-Qaida leader who had participated in the planning for the 9/11 attacks on New York and Washington.”"

"
The U.S. military. The author’s sobering conclusion:

• Since WW2, Earth has had 248 armed conflicts. The US started 201 of them.
• These US-started armed attacks have killed ~30 million and counting; 90% of these deaths are innocent children, the elderly and ordinary working civilian women and men.
• The US has war-murdered more than Hitler’s Nazis.

"

Ouch.

The latest undeclared US war is in Yemen.

Police State

NSA and FBI don't want to keep us safe.

"Given that Mateen was already on an FBI threat list, was the NSA eavesdropping on Mateen? If not, why not? Was the NSA too busy spying on dirt-poor backwoods members of "militias" to bother keeping track on Mateen, who, by many accounts, was a man who spoke often of his sympathy for terrorists? It's becoming increasingly evident the NSA simply collects so much information on so many people and casts far too wide of a net. What the NSA does is great for blackmailing powerful people. It's less useful in actually catching terrorists. "
