Disputed N.S.A. Phone Program Is Shut Down, Aide Says
The New York Times ^ | March 4, 2019 | Charlie Savage

The National Security Agency has quietly shut down a system that analyzes logs of Americans’ domestic calls and texts, according to a senior Republican congressional aide, halting a program that has touched off disputes about privacy and the rule of law since the Sept. 11 attacks.

The agency has not used the system in months, and the Trump administration might not ask Congress to renew its legal authority, which is set to expire at the end of the year, according to the aide, Luke Murry, the House minority leader’s national security adviser. “Technical irregularities” had contaminated the agency’s database with message logs it had no authority to collect.

Good news, Trump is dismantling the part of the Bush overreach that resulted in Americans being surveilled. Reportedly this database never prevented a single terrorist attack and it was fraught with problems that resulted in collecting things it had no right to collect.

I certainly hope this is because of Pres Trump.

but larger outstanding issue is repealing the

Patriot Act & all it’s accoutremont

I sure hope he can dismantle that one

but in all my born days I have NEVER EVER

seen a POTUS so harassed , vilified, so cut

cut down at every opportunity the msm has

with their tauntings, their outright lies

their tantrums ala Jim Acosta ——I’m a

fit lady & everytime I see that deluded

self-entitled smug face of his I wanna’

punch him &........oh wait.... I forgot to

include Marco Rubio... right in the kisser.

Oooppsssie...

Well, I've done that too.

But look, this Vatican article is important in its own right. Are you going to post it?

I’d like to read that one.
Thanks.

The Vatican article is old, I’m not going to post it but you’re right, it is important. It happened months into Pope Francis’s elevation and in light of how much of an activist this Pope is, it is definitely important.

Happy posting Mrs. Don-o

OK, I will.

BTW, I had missed the fact that it was 2013.

Total brain freeze. Don't really know why that happens. But you know, ladies of a certain ... a certain age...

He’s a pansey arse mofo

He should be locked up

Hitlery should be locked up, too.

That stupid f*cker who follows direct orders

from his handlers

I’ve had enough of his & and other people’s crap

for example “Uncle Joe” down right & dirty, touching

women, children- their shoulders, smelling their hair

running his hands all over them... You’ve seen the pics

have you not? If you have not i’ll put up the video; the

recorded truth of 77 year old child molester & he gets

away with it....he’s a f*ckin’ arse-needs to be retired

put out to pasture. & I’ll tell you another-thing about

him. I have it on good authority from a journalist who

wrote a couple of pages for a major magazine & this

journo came across loud & clear about this thing, this

evil person , this chameleon.....

In summation about the magazine article the journo

found two sides of this f*ckin’ creep. The 1st side he

saw was fairly innocuous but as the second side was

totally gross’ demanding & acting like some f*cking

king about town. The attitude of “hail fellow well met”

the persona you see on tv ‘the slapper on the back revealed

to the journo the Biggest Back Stabber in the US gov’t.if

not, the State of Delaware. He’s cold, cruel & obnoxious

and swimming naked in front of women.

He’s a piece of shite & you should know about this

along with his finances.

It’s always been touted by the MSM “he has no money”

I call bull shit- oh yeah, he gets his “salary” from the

US taxpayers - Do you honestly think Uncle Joe the child

molester has no assets? He does butit’s all in his wife’s

name.

Now i’m getting hot ... & very uncomfortable & hot. I think I

should hang up this posting... so there you have it.

Biden for Pres? well that’s a new one- a real shit show.

Don’t forget Biden has two faces & he invented

patronizing with all his faux sincerity & his effin’

old man hands running his fingers thru little kids

hair & playing touchy feely with young girls.

Here’s something :

https://thepedogate.com/politics/pedophile-joe-biden-calls-trump-supporters-dregs-of-society/

https://theblacksphere.net/2017/11/joe-biden-dc-weinstein/

http://humansarefree.com/2017/11/ex-secret-service-agent-claims-joe.html

https://thepoliticalinsider.com/man-yells-biden-molest-girls/

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQ-YjGmpO4Q

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DwXweiRjckI

And you hear what this handsy man, a molester

a pedophile has thenerve to tell these people

“Do you know what my Dad used to say”?

Well for sure I would like to enlighten him

4 square & punch him out with those old man

hands getting his jollies off, the old twig &

defunct berries.

Y’all need to start making some phone to WASHDC

& if you are ever down there make sure this

CHILD MOLESTER doesn’t touch your children;

esp. young girls, he “prefers” them unlike

John Podesta , that evil satanic son of a bitch

You wanna’ hear him on tape? You let me know

because I’ll post it. He’a one son of a bitch

evil man using little boys and saying on tape

screaming at them “say my name, say my name”

The highest levels of government & all coming

from the Democrat Party with their filth, the conniving,

I could go on & on but i’m not i’ve said too much

already & now bp is up.

Hitlery may never see the inside of a prison but is

where she should be if there more than enough honest

people with integrity to do what is right but you know

what?

FUCK HER I SHOULD HOPE SHE BURNS IN HELL

ok... sorry about the language I’m just overheated
