As I fight on with my computer intrusion lawsuit against the U.S. government, it seems to intersect more clearly with current events every day. And it points to an even larger story. How widespread is improper government surveillance of journalists, politicians and other U.S. citizens in the name of the fight against terrorism? A few of us found out we were targeted only because we were lucky enough to be alerted by inside sources or other unique ways. How many others were targeted, monitored and watched by government officials but still have no idea it happened? Who is behind the...

On Jan. 22, 2019, Ali Akbar Salehi, the nuclear chief of the Iranian theocracy, acknowledged that Iran had fooled the 5+1 and IAEA group of foreign ministers – these were U.S. and European foreign ministers who negotiated the Iran deal – into signing the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, or JCPOA. That was the deal President Obama signed with other leaders and touted to the U.S. public. President Trump scrapped it. In an unprecedented confession, Ali Akbar Salehi, the head of the mullah regime's Atomic Agency, acknowledged that the mullahs had lied in nuclear negotiations with the five world powers...

This article posting gives me fear, but it must be said. I have worked for the Federal government and know for a fact that Federal employees, almost all of them, have an intense dislike for conservatives and Trump in particular. They may come after me and probably will in some form or fashion, but someone has to make a sacrifice to get the truth out. If people could only see what it is like on the inside, they would be in shock at the hatred harbored for everyday Americans. Those in supervisory positions absolutely will not tolerate ANYONE challenging their...

Tensions increased between Paris and Rome this Tuesday as Italy showed support for the yellow vest movement. Luigi Di Maio, Deputy Premier and Labour and Industry Minister said “Macron compared our government to leprosy!” in response to being told to “butt out” by the Minister of French European Affairs, Nathalie Both Di Maio and Matteo Salvini, have given their backing to the yellow vest movement with Di Maio saying his 5-Star Movement (M5S) was ‘ready to provide support to the Yellow Vests’, and later responding to Loiseau “Maybe she is forgetting that her president, (Emmanuel) Macron), compared us to leprosy...

Yesterday, Dahoser helpfully posted this outrageously deceptive article from The Hill. Thank you, Dahoser. The post received much attention from Freepers, who made many good comments. Since most people likely don't have the time to wade through all 131 comments, I will summarize here some particularly astute observations as well as add my own. I hope that it will be a helpful exercise in highlighting many of the ways the media attempts to deceive us, particularly with statistics. We should be concerned not just to avoid being deceived ourselves but also to recognize the powerful influence articles like this have...

it is apparently all over mexican tv right now...

<p>The 91-year-old award-winning actor who played Mr. Feeny on "Boy Meets World" scared off a burglar from his home. William Daniels and his 89-year-old wife, Bonnie Bartlett, were in their San Fernando Valley home on Saturday night. The Los Angeles Police Department tells KABC-TV an intruder forced open a back door and Daniels turned on the lights. In a statement on Twitter, his publicist wrote , "Luckily, Mr. Daniels was able to frighten away the person and the LAPD quickly responded." Daniels and his wife "are both well."</p>

For weeks ahead of the date, folks like me had to decide……. Do I really believe all this stuff we discuss daily on Free Republic? Should I scrounge up some money and set aside the time to travel to Washington DC to be a part of what is being called The March For Justice? The Answer is Yes! There was to be a march with State flags. I bought a Tennessee state flag to wave in the gathering. To my astonishment, as I waved the flag, several Tennesseans in the crowd rallied to the flag and zap…..we had a Tennessee...

As anyone who pays attention could have predicted, the interment service of Matthew Shepard was a cover for radical sodomite activism as the controversial open and proud homosexual bishop Gene Robinson stoked the anger of a crowd containing numerous homosexuals activists at the Washington Cathedral event. The leftist Washington Post reported: Presiding over the worship service at the second-largest cathedral in the country, in front of a crowd of about 2,025 people, was Bishop Gene Robinson, whose elevation in the early 2000s as the first openly gay bishop in the Episcopal Church marked another huge — and controversial — milestone...

Just breaking on Brett Bair’s show

10/5 8:46pm Democrat Senators Tester, McCaskill, Donnelly, Nelson and Heitkamp are discussing change of Kavanaugh vote tonight.

On Shannon Bream just now, Ed Henry reporting through Corker that he (Corker)says he believes they have the votes and BK can be confirmed as early as Saturday.

Here’s her page: https://www.gofundme.com/help-christine-blasey-ford Here’s the theory why it’s down: Kyle @HNIJohnMiller 11) IN ADDITION, apparently the Gofundmes of Ford have been linked to special interest groups that were funneling money to her. The FBI is, again according to the scuttlebutt I've heard, following the money, trying to trace the money right back to the Democrats. https://mobile.twitter.com/HNIJohnMiller/status/1047183212575973382

NeverTrumper Neil Cavuto reporting the FBI has reached out to the idiots Swetnick and Ramirez. If this is the case Wray ignored Trump’s directions for a limited supplemental background investigation. This is 100% BS. These are not credible accusations and neither is Ford’s. This is a witch hunt. Statement from President @realDonaldTrump: “I’ve ordered the FBI to conduct a supplemental investigation to update Judge Kavanaugh’s file. As the Senate has requested, this update must be limited in scope and completed in less than one week.”

Christine Blasey Ford Is Apparently Involved With "CIA Undergraduate Internship Program" at Stanford, which makes one wonder.

American Bar Association calls on Judiciary Committee to halt Kavanaugh vote until investigation is done
