Almost one month after it was disclosed that former President Obama's National Security Adviser Susan Rice was unmasking members of President Trump’s team and other Americans, Trump’s own national security adviser, H.R. McMaster, sent an official letter giving her unfettered and continuing access to classified information and waiving her “need-to-know” requirement on anything she viewed or received during her tenure, Circa has confirmed.

WikiLeaks details CIA infiltrating and influencing the 2012 French Elections. First of many releases of 'Vault 7' to come.

Watch from 2:00 on. Nick Merrill, Clinton's press secretary, texts reporters questions, signals them with knowing glances and nods, actually intercedes in conference to ensure his teed up reporters get to ask his pre arranged questions. In plain sight. Unreal.

Donna Brazile, the current head of the Democratic National Committee, appears to have tipped the Clinton campaign off to a question about the death penalty that was going to be asked during a CNN town hall in March, newly released emails show. “From time to time I get the questions in advance,” Brazile wrote in an email to Clinton campaign communications director Jennifer Palmieri on March 12.

Thanks to Facebook’s renowned hacker culture, just two developers working together could push an update to the site’s news feed algorithms that changes the outcome of the 2016 presidential election. According to former Facebook developers Scout has spoken with, it takes one engineer to write the code and one to approve it and push it to production. Done smartly, these kinds of manipulations would be very targeted and extremely difficult to detect. Imagine two developers pushing Facebook’s ‘I Voted’ banner to the top of news feeds among liberal voters in swing states to drive more of them to the polls....

...As a for-profit institution, CEC has faced increasing pressure from the Obama administration and Senate Democrats in the past year. A proposed "gainful employment" rule from the Department of Education would deny federal funding to schools with graduates facing high proportions of debt related to their expected salaries. ...Mr. Miller cited the "gainful employment" rule as a major factor in CEC's decision to close the Pittsburgh school, and he predicted that it would soon affect other for-profit schools in the area.

from an interview on NPR this morning . . . ZWERDLING: I want to add something else about Hasan at Walter Reed. The psychiatrist I talked to today said that he was the kind of guy who the staff actually stood around in the hallway, saying: Do you think he's a terrorist, or is he just weird? And now, apparently, Walter Reed is in a lockdown mode where they've been instructed - all the staff has been instructed: Do not talk to anybody about this investigation, except military people. Do not talk to the FBI, because they're afraid, potentially, what...

Obama, fresh off his Nobel Prize Victory awarded for his diplomatic successes in extending his hand to dictators and despots throughout the world shifted his celebrated persuasive power to another rogue individual, conservative Chuck Norris. Norris, who has been said to sleep with a night light, not because he is afraid of the dark but the dark is afraid of him and who frequently donates blood to the Red Cross, just not his own, was brazen at first when Obama approached. Observers stated that Obama was just a millisecond away from receiving one of Norris’s patented roundhouse kicks, a blow,...

I posted this about a month ago, but it is still relevant because Obama keeps on making this lie by including it in is speech last night. In his speech last night, in other recent speeches and in his editorial in the New York Times he wrote about a month ago, he has continued to mention the sad case of an Illinois man who lost his health coverage during life saving chemotherapy and consequently died because he did not disclose a previous condition of gallstones. Quoting his editorial in the New York Times, “A man lost his health coverage in...

In President Obama’s recent speeches and in his editorial in the New York Times today, he has continued to mention the sad case of a man who lost his health coverage during life saving chemotherapy and consequently died because he did not disclose a previous condition of gallstones. Quoting his editorial in the New York Times, “A man lost his health coverage in the middle of chemotherapy because the insurance discovered that he had gallstones, which he hadn’t known about when he applied for his policy. Because his treatment was delayed, he died.” Unfortunately for the president, the story is...

The United States is expecting a terrorist attack orchestrated by the Saudi extremist Osama bin Laden soon, and has placed its forces in the Middle East on the highest level of alert. State Department officials said intelligence services hadintercepted a coded message toone of bin Laden's senior operatives outlining plans for theattack. The suspected target was in either Saudi Arabia or Kuwait, the officials said. They described the intelligence as highly credible and instantly issued the warning through military and diplomatic channels. The State Department has had all its embassies on a heightened level of alert since late May, when...

COMMUNITY CLOSE-UP A little tidbit from Palm Beach * Meeting Gore . . . County Commissioner Carol Roberts, was in Washington, D.C., again last week. This time, she was to testify before Congress on federal transportation funding. Roberts also was invited to the White House for a meeting with Vice President Al Gore.

Vice President Al Gore swept through South Florida on Friday, collecting about $200,000 during one of the first fund-raising stops of his fledgling presidential campaign. "This is a time of beginnings, and you are here at the beginning of our efforts in Florida," Gore told about 150 people who attended a $1,000-a-plate luncheon at the Four Seasons Resort in Palm Beach. The menu included roast duck with a guava-tamarind glaze, and a heaping helping of traditional Democratic ideals. Gore said his platform will include improving race relations, ensuring that women and men get equal pay for equal work, shoring ...

I did a search and found these interesting tidbits. An article entitled "An international ban on chemical weapons gets Senate approval 74-26 after a tough White House lobbying campaign" appearing in the Tampa Tribune on April 25, 1997 described a Senate Debate about a treaty banning chemical weapons which Al Gore attended. The following is an excerpted text. In a foreign policy triumph for President Clinton, the Senate voted Thursday night to ratify a treaty designed to ban chemical weapons around the globe. The vote was 74-26, seven more than the two-thirds needed for approval. All 45 Democrats voted for ...

TELEVISION is once again displaying its immense power to create, change or manipulate public opinion. It may well be that many Americans will never see President Reagan as they did before the first Reagan-Mondale debate, even if the president is re-elected. Every time Reagan fails to finish a sentence, eyebrows all across the country will be raised in wonder over whether this president in his mid-70s has lost some of his acuity. Yet this perception of Reagan is to a large extent the result of TV coverage and commentary following the debate, rather than just a reflection of what people ...

For any of you who have seen the Reagan-Carter debate, it was no contest, clearly Reagan was the victor, but not according to the NY Times at the time. Here is their editorial People who heard the first Kennedy-Nixon debate in 1960 on the radio thought Richard Nixon was a clear winner. They had to concentrate on what the candidates said. But many people able to see how they looked on television thought John Kennedy won. Something like that went on in the Carter-Reagan debate in Cleveland. Words and music. Many spectators in the Music Hall, for whom the candidates ...
