“The Sunday Morning Bray”, by Bray!
The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good. Psalm KJV
What should bother everyone is we are all being monitored 24/7/365 through every phone in America. If nothing else this Russia story is telling us is the NSA and its sister agencies were spying on a private citizen and in this case working for the DNC. They were not monitoring the Russian Ambassador they were monitoring the Trump campaign and using the Ambassador to fabricate a phony Russian coalition story. People need to go to jail and these monitoring agencies have to be shuttered if we want a free Country.
As opposed to what the Establishmedia wants you to believe, the Obama regime was trying to invent a scandal of collusion with Russia and used our spying agencies to fabricate evidence to prove it. This all began when Putin made a compliment about Trump and then candidate Trump said it would be good for the two countries to get along. Of course the Harpy campaign and all of her mediots went crazy and this little scandal was born. They tried to get traction and never could since real Americans saw the value of mutual enemies working for the common goal of ridding the world of ISIS.
After seventy years of wishing to be communist Russia the DNC is suddenly seeing them as a threat. After lecture after lecture of the superiority of the communist system in their wonderful Nationalized Healthcare and market efficiencies they now want to lecture us on the dangers of getting too close. After falling in love with every Soviet leader they are suddenly fearful of Putin since this fear promotes their Marxist agenda.
Of all the so called scandals they have invented such as lying about WMD and Bush’s eighteen month “rush” into Iraq, giving Sadamn plenty of time to move the WMD; this has to be their sketchiest. Trump had Putin hack Podesta’s emails which he then turned over to WikiLeaks and when they released it on the internet America turned away from their angelic Hillary. America loved Harpy and so wanted her but the Russians turned their lovelorn eyes away from Snow White and they were tricked into voting for Trump. That is the scandal.
They could not come up with the, selected not elected; chant they used for Bush since the Electoral College win was so big, so they came up with this to delegitimize President Trump. They then employed the intelligence agencies to uncover the Trump campaign’s entire phone and email records to find something they could twist into supporting this scheme. This had to be coordinated through the White House and as we heard from the interview of Evelyn Farkas, she inadvertently indicated how widespread this smear campaign went. It appears that every agency was corrupted and involved with the campaign to get Mrs. Clinton elected and more importantly to delegitimize President Trump with a manufactured scandal.
By all appearances this is how the swamp maintains order. Just as under the J Edgar Hoover they have dirt on everyone in the District of Corruption and use it to blackmail whoever they want to keep in line. Unlike Hoover, these agencies now have the same ability to monitor every person or business in America capturing ever piece of data which is being transmitted throughout the entire country. This is both amazing and terrifying that every phone and computer is a listening device and monitor to record every potential sin you have committed or if need by manufacture that sin as is the case with Trump and his campaign.
If we are going to drain the swamp this is one of the first places to start. We can now clearly see that the spy agencies are not only spying on foreign enemies they are spying on America. This is not for our protection, but for our control. We know they were spying on the Tea Party and any type of patriotic organization since if you ever attended a Tea Party event you saw the roofs lined with FBI agents taking your pictures. What was stopping them from listening in on your phone or reading your keyboard if they can go after the candidate of the opposition Party?
If they are trying to stop ISIS or some other terrorist group, how are they able to succeed in so many attacks? It appears that they have become essentially a branch of the DNC as they have been infiltrated by liberals who put their agenda in front of the safety of America. This is why there needs to be a full investigation of these wiretap releases and find out who approved them and when this began. There needs to be long jail sentences for people who abused their power.
It is critical to get to the bottom of this and correct their abilities. Are we so afraid of terrorism we will give up our basic privacy? If this is the case then the terrorists have already won and are running our society. It is time to stand up to these agencies which have taken over our lives and take our freedoms back or at least have methods of blocking these snooping filters out of our lives.
This scandal which goes into the Obama Whitehouse is a hundred times bigger than Watergate ever attempted to be. This is very likely the President being involved with one campaign trying to manufacture a scandal on another campaign using the full power of the American intelligence agencies. By all appearances it looks like the Clinton campaign was coordinating with the Obama Whitehouse to release the phone conversations of all of the Trump people to build their Russian story. They were leaking selected portions of those recordings to the media. This of course is justified if it meant the election of Hillary and the defeat of Trump.
The irony of this being something which was done by the KGB should not be lost on anyone. This is the willful destruction of a candidate and his team’s civil rights of privacy in the name of power. This is the stuff you heard about in Eastern Europe only they used family members to spy on each other, not phone conversations and email records. Adolf Hitler and Castro would have loved to have this much control of their opposition. Who else are they going to be ordered to destroy? You?
This is the scandal of the century turning America into the Soviet Union by a power crazed leader and candidate as well as the media working in unison. This is the elimination of every American’s Civil Rights if it suits the agenda of whichever politician who is control of these powers.
This is the enslavement of every American to an oppressive power which is listening to everything you say or do. It simply has to leak whatever you said or did to the media and have your life and career destroyed. This should chill every American no matter the Party or ideology. This is not the Shining City on the Hill but the dark city in a swamp.
Pray America woke

Tuesday-date- 3/28/17Daily Update
Sean Hannity Bad for America? Nunces White House visit and what was found.
Come on. Sean Hannity, sweet Sean Hannity, is bad for America? How so?
First, let me state, not that I (nor he) is proud of this, but my now deceased husband looks exactly like Ted Koppel.
We regularly watch Koppel’s Nightline show. We thought he was a good newsman but go to hell please, he’s no better than Sean Hannity.
NO WAIT!
Deep breath.
Ted Koppel reported the news. Sean Hannity reports opinions, his and those of his guests.
How does this make Sean bad for America?
I must suppose that Koppel refers to these media rapscallions of today who report more than they should to an American public not intelligent enough to deal with it.
This is why God made Ted Koppel and goodness let’s not forget David Brinkley and all the rest of those supreme beings.
Hannity was ranting and railing about this absurd interview, revealing to us, his audience, that while Sean had been interviewed by Koppel for almost an hour, Koppel only used a little over a minute of that interview.
Good for Sean. He hounded Koppel during his radio AND his TV show. CBS and Koppel owe Hannity an apology and the courtesy of allowing the rest of the interview for the public to hear.
And so it’s pretty much figured out just what Devon Nunes saw during his stealth visit to the White House.
Turns out that American presidents are given an intelligence briefing every morning as it is deemed that presidents need to be kept up with what is going on in the world.
Turns out that President Obama liked to have his intelligence briefings delivered in electronic form to read on what is called is “safe tablet”.
Turns out that one such briefing, IN WRITING BEAR IN MIND, details surveillance activities on Trump and various members of his entourage.
Nunes saw it all. With his own lying eyeballs.
The document allegedly can’t be released but keep eyes on this.
And, by the way, where the hell is President Obama?
Senator Portman, from Ohio, land of lying Kasich, it is said requested that Senator Devon Nunes step down as chairman of the intelligence committee in the senate.
I thought this guy was a Republican?
Which is a never mind because why should Nunes step down? Because he sought information on the very information the committee was investigating?
This is why the Republicans never win. We got McCains, Grahams, Collins…..GOP pretenders in other words.
Also, AG Jeff Sessions gives a warning to sanctuary cities to stop flipping the country the bird and refusing to follow up on illegal immigrants.
Who the hell do these people think they are? What right do they have to make their town or city a so-called “sanctuary” space?
Well they’ve gotten away with it for the Obama years so it is now….
….hey, can’t we just have a decent system to handle immigrants? In this day of astounding technology and world-wide communication, we can’t track immigrants, enforce a fair immigration policy?
Instead we have to do illegal stuff like telling America to go to hell?
Let’s watch Jeff Sessions handle this.
Thursday-date-3/30/17
Daily Update
So Hillary came out of the woods yesterday to raise money from Hollywood?
I hear she’s going after the Russians.
Oh, and sanctuary cities, American towns flipping the federal gubmint the bird and telling the immigration people to shove it where the sun don’t shine.
These people have no right to do this. Why are they getting away with this?
Oh, again, and another federal judge extended the restraining order against certain immigrants….INDEFINITELY!
I like Trump but let us bear in mind that he’s going nowhere with that immigration ban. His health care overhaul has gone nowhere yet. And the sanctuary cities tell the feds to shove it.
Never mind his tweets, Trump has got to start racking up some victories here.
Let us not overlook that Trump has over-ridden a bunch of those bullshit EPA rules that were smothering business.
And he’s doing a fine job of negotiating with various businesses to make America great again.
But from my vantage point, the GOP lite and Democrats are preventing him from governing.
Please let me be wrong.
Friday-date-Daily Update-3/31/17
Allow me overview: Rush, as is his wont, has been fair and seeks to present a broad picture. Levin was a NEVERTRUMP and he has, since the inauguration, been on the lookout for Trump to pick a booger from his nose or say the wrong thing. Hannity adores Trump and it’s obvious.
But Trump is a bit lackluster of late. He has yet to get an immigration ban implemented. He did not get this vaunted “repeal and replace” of obamacare. He lost on the Floyd nomination and who knows if the Gorsuch nomination will go through.
For now, it’s this health care thing that concerns me.
I simply don’t know who composes this Freedom Caucus which has Trump tweeting bad things about them.
Further, come on, I hear discussions of the bill, what it did, the changes it made. Said bill being the TRUMPCARE plan.
So how come us, the people who carry this country on their back, haven’t seen this bill, the entirety, in black and white?
I am hearing about classifying certain areas by health care of the surrounding citizens. I keep hearing about things in the new bill that I never knew were there.
Rush made a huge change yesterday. While he had been kind and forgiving of Trump’s foibles, yesterday he launched into a rant about Trump’s rage against the Freedom Caucus.
Mark Levin went nuts as Mark considers every member of the Freedom Caucus to be saints, no less possibly, than gods.
I am going to listen more but color me skeptical about Trump, who is now threatening to join up with the Democrats.
Well that will make us all joyous.
So the Delaware head of the Republican party, Charlie Copeland, is stepping down.
Go away I say.
Copeland is Mike Castle’s BFF, y’all know that, yeah?
I can’t imagine a replacement but it will be somebody from Newcastle county , you can count on it.
Which will make me mad.
Saturday-date-4/1/17
My goodness can you imagine someone getting up in arms because a man never dines alone with a female not his wife and never goes to functions serving alcohol without his wife?
They love each other and evidently decided not to get anywhere near unnecessary temptation. What a concept….
AVOID BEING A SINNER!!!
Of course you got to hate someone that noble.
Below is a quote from one of my friends on Facebook. It was just so perfect that I wanted to share it with others. My friend might not like it but he did put it up right in public.
NO MORE!
My brother, like me and my family, was too a dedicated Democrat. He responded to the cousinly post above that he left the Democratic party eons ago.
Democrats are for Communists, keep that in mind.
Folks, I don’t know how many of you know my bizarre story of a daughter with Munchausen, a mental disorder that has patients harming themselves and other weird behavior.
First, daughter, for whom I bought a house that she destroyed, accepted my offer of a money amount to get her name off of it.
In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost, she’s out of my life.
More than anything, and for which I am very, very ….well excited is how I feel though that may not be appropriate.
The name Sheri Papini might night be familiar to yon readers but allow me to refresh.
In early November last year, Sheri, a 30-ish married mother of two, was allegedly kidnapped by two Hispanic women. She was supposed held against her will for two weeks when she was deposited aside the road, disheveled, long blonde hair cut and destroyed.
This week we discover that gold ole Sheri has been lying and deceiving people her whole life! In fact her family is now desperate to get the truth out, how she systematically deformed herself and blamed it on her mother. How she stole from everybody, broke into her families’ homes, how she lied on the Internet.
EXACTLY EXACTLY EXACTLY EXACTLY LIKE MY DAUGHTER!!!
I was screaming as I watched Inside Edition and googled more stories on Sheri Papini. She and her husband started a gofundme account and while it was claimed the alleged Hispanic women cut off her hair, the driver who found her stumbling along the road said all her hair was there.
Below, is a direct quote from someone alleging to be an adolescent friend.
I used to know her in 2002-2005 or so and she had this “heart condition” that would often flare up and cause her extreme pain.. always seemed to happen when she wasn’t getting enough attention.
Once, she was camping with a bunch of our friends and another girl got hypothermia from the ice cold lake. While the group was taking the girl to the ER.. Sherri’s heart happened to flare up right then…
I think this speaks greatly of her character and what kind of lies she’s capable of brewing.
OMG! Trust me folks, I am going to find these people. Google the stories. The family is going nuts trying to get it out there how this woman lies and abuses and is desperate for sympathy.
I KNOW THE FEELING VERY WELL!!!
And the husbands always somehow get wrapped up into the story.
This story has been on TV all week. If you should come across it know that it could be my daughter….I AM NOT NUTS.
My bigger problem is not that my daughter has some oddball disease that has her addicted to sympathy as much as any heroin addict to heroin.
My big problem IS THAT THE GUBMINT GOT INVOLVED!!!
All the gubmint did, wonderful loving bureaucrats that they are, was have a family beat up with an emotional baseball bat, to cause them to lose their money….with the help of the gubmint and gubmint grants that the locals get to help abused woman like my daughter.
Little does Sheri Papini’s stupid husband know that his day is coming. Also those two precious and innocent children. Somebody needs to be looking out for Muncheusen by Proxy, something you also often see on TV.
Cause these people do not want a family, they don’t want a dog, they don’t want a car for God’s sake, they sure don’t want a house.
The want attention and sympathy. That’s all.
And the gubmint will jump right in and help.
ping for later
Trouble is the Media is not "bothered" by any criminal activity that involves a Leftist politician. Thus any malfeasance by a Leftist is scarcely reported if reported on at all. And at least a third of the population believes what the media tells them to believe.
Furthermore, Millennials don't seem to care much about personal privacy or the rule of law for that matter.
All we can do is continue the fight against the Leftist propaganda Media as best we can using every means available.
Just too good more on F. Chuck later...thanks for the thread bud.
How about Trump called F. Todd “sleepy eyed”?
Been smiling all night over that one.
Let me suggest we start with the CIA.
They appear to be the biggest and the worst of the agencies that have been seeded for many many years with the worst of the worst of commie wannabes and those who literally hate America.
The CIA appears to have been criminal from it's inception or beginning.Good cases can and are made that it was behind assassinations of both Kennedy's, Martin Luther and so many more.
The drug smuggling witch may have had humble beginnings now extends on a world wide basis whether it's Mena, South America, Mexico, the poppy fields in Afghanistan or anywhere you can imagine look to the CIA as the culprit.
Perhaps worst of all is the regime changes they have been behind such as botched jobs in Syria,Libya the Arab Spring fiascoes in Africa,you name it. All over the world the ugly hand of the CIA is there.
It will be a major job to clean it up but there appears to be a lower level that is not as corrupt or maybe not corrupt at all that might be used a a base of operations to cleanse this vast swamp that needs it really bad.
There’s that smart-ass hippy Larri.
Looks like he’s been smokin the whacky-tabackee.
The Republicans are so inept when it comes to fighting propaganda. The “Russia interfered with our democracy” bit is a prime example. They just allow them to continue to get away with this line over and over.
Every time I talk with a liberal who starts regurgitating this line I simply say, “Exactly how did Russia interfere? By exposing the corruption in the Democratic party? Don’t you think that the people have the right to know these things prior to an election? We don’t know who exposed the corruption, but whoever it was did the country a service” That shuts them up every time, because they cannot argue that the people do not have a right to know. If we followed this line of questioning every time one of the bozos make this outlandish statement about Russia “attacking” our democracy, we should simply ask this question before continuing. Over and over again.
I told my husband last night that the Republicans need someone like me just to teach them how to deal with this crap.
That’s a good one for sure.
F.Chuck has been making the news as well this week.
Here is one that sure got my attention on a topic we cover quite extensively here:
.......................
NBC NEWS: DOCUMENTS: HILLARY CLINTON MAY HAVE KILLED INVESTIGATIONS INTO PEDOPHILE RING AT STATE DEPT.
While I am skeptical of where this will lead, it is noteworthy to see that this report comes from NBC and more specifically Chuck Todd. In a report earlier this week, NBC reported that there were allegations that while Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State, the quashed investigations into a prostitution and pedophile ring that was operating inside the department in order to avoid scandal and protect high-ranking employees and an ambassador.
“Serious allegations concerning the State Department,” the NBC anchor said. “According to internal State Department memos the agency might have called off or intervened into investigations into possibly illegal, inappropriate behavior within its ranks allegedly to protect jobs and avoid scandals.
“This concerns a time when Hillary Clinton was secretary of state.”
the piece goes on in -depth to claim:
“There is an old saying in Washington that the cover-up is worse than the crime. But in this case both parts of it are disturbing,” Chuck Todd continued.
“Allegations of prostitution and pedophilia, and allegations that those crimes were somehow covered up or not looked into,” he continued. “So the State Department this morning is having to respond to those claims, and those investigations involve misconduct by State Department officials, including an Ambassador and security agents attached to then-Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton.
“The allegations are that these investigations were whitewashed, quashed altogether, and that those orders came from high up,” he added.
The report then went on to state:
NBC HAS OBTAINED DOCUMENTS RELATING TO ONGOING INVESTIGATIONS INTO SOME DISTURBING ALLEGATIONS INVOLVING STATE DEPARTMENT PERSONNEL AND AT LEAST ONE AMBASSADOR. A STATE DEPARTMENT MEMO SAYS, QUOTE, “THE AMBASSADOR ROUTINELY DITCHED HIS PROTECTIVE SECURITY DETAIL IN ORDER TO SOLICIT SEXUAL FAVORS FROM BOTH PROSTITUTES AND MINOR CHILDREN.”
THE MEMO ALSO SAYS A TOP STATE DEPARTMENT OFFICIAL DIRECTED STATE DEPARTMENT INVESTIGATORS TO “CEASE THE INVESTIGATION” INTO THE AMBASSADOR’S CONDUCT.” IT’S JUST ONE OF WHAT ANOTHER DOCUMENT DESCRIBES AS “SEVERAL EXAMPLES OF UNDUE INFLUENCE” FROM TOP STATE DEPARTMENT OFFICIALS.
We know that since President Donald Trump has been in office that his administration has overseen quite a few busts concerning pedophiles, far more than the Obama administration.
We also know that Bill Clinton and others in the US government, such as Bob Menendez have close ties to or have actually engaged underage girls in sex. In the case of Clinton there a long trail of women claiming he sexually assaulted them, as well as his ties to Jeffery Epstein, a billionaire financier formerly with Bear Stearns, was sentenced to just 13 months jail time when he was convicted of soliciting a minor for prostitution. As Daisy Luther reported:
Epstein’s prosecutors in the sex trial made donations to Hillary Clintons 2008 presidential campaign.
Interestingly Epstein also donated $3.5 million to the Clinton Foundation, with the money coming from a Swiss bank account.
His private jet was nicknamed the “Lolita Express” in the British press
Guests who traveled on it range from Prince Andrew (6th in line to the British throne) to none other than Bill Clinton – who flew on the jet no less than two dozen times.
Passengers on the manifest were sometimes just listed by their initials since we all know that discretion is essential when you are traveling with underage girls on board a jet that boasts a large bed.
Bill Clinton and his associated security staff appear on 26 of these manifests but on one trip, Bill seems to have ditched his Secret Service agents.
This would inevitably lead to tying Epstein to the State Department and child trafficking. And let’s not forget that Hillary’s bestie, Huma Abedin, has a husband taht has just stepped in it again with an underage girl.
Now, the question is, will President Trump not only ask his Attorney General to appoint an investigation into the Clintons, but into the Clinton State Department concerning the allegations, considering the given evidence we have of the Clintons’ ties to known pedophiles and their sordid criminal and sexual history?
We have it here as well:”

and there is more as well:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/3539976/posts
Seems someone told trey Gowdy that there was a pedophilia gang in town and he is beginning to look into it.So if you combine all that into the possibility that maybe the DNC is where F.Chuck gets all his instructions its not too much of a stretch to surmise that the dems may be looking for a new 2020 candidate to go up against Pres. Trump.So the big quesition becomes is the DNC/Demorat party dumping Hillary!
Ya know, folks, I correctly predicted the Donald J. Trump POTUS victory to a “TEE”!!! New accurate, honest, on-target, truthful, prediction....the Democrat Party is destroying itself, politically, and the mainstream media is following suit!!! Heed these words.....coming history will prove them correct!!!
Pat, a little correction for you. Nunces is in the House of Representatives, and the chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. He is not in the Senate, nor a Senator.
McConnell will be asked and asked about the Nuclear Option. He will refuse to confirm that he will envoke it, will repeatedly state that Gorsuch will be confirmed and will dodge all Nuclear Option inquiries.
We will learn nothing new.
Schiff will be asked about the information he read at the White House this week - those CLASSIFIED surveillance reports on the Trump Team that Congressman Nunes uncovered. Those reports that prove the Obama Administration spied on Trump. He will answer that Nunes is unqualified to be Chairman, is a biased GOP partisan and that he cannot comment on the content of classified documents.
Again, we will learn nothing new.
Yes, the charge is just so bizarre. Do they even think about what they’re saying?
HOW did the Russians tamper/mess/change/affect/effect the 2016 elections? Come on democrats and media, explain just what they did?
They can’t, and even if they try, it doesn’t amount to one single vote changing.
Another question for them:
If the Hillary campaign shows a TV ad that makes Trump look bad, is THAT tampering with the election?
If the roles are reversed?
If Hillary’s campaign accounts contain money from foreigners?
If a political action committee is run by a foreigner (Hint: Soros) and buys airtime to attack a candidate or promote a candidate? Is THAT interfering with an election?
If the President of the United States sends his political campaigners to Israel to work for Bibi Netanyahu’s opposition? Is THAT tampering with an election?
SO MANY questions! And the answer to all—except for the last—NO.
