There is a culture of corruption in the FBI. Or the FBI is a culture of corruption.

But I couldn’t find any comprehensive timelines cross-referencing Obama-era surveillance of whistleblowers, journalists and other U.S. citizens with Russia surveillance allegations. So I built one. Please note: temporal proximity of events doesn’t necessarily imply a connection.

The new rules significantly relax longstanding limits on what the N.S.A. may do with the information gathered by its most powerful surveillance operations, which are largely unregulated by American wiretapping laws. These include collecting satellite...

I am just 10 percent through it. It uses a few terrorists events for Barry Soetoro to declare martial law and stop elections at the end of this term. In this scenario, the Republicans had a candidate who was going to win by landslide over a female candidate (fictional HRC). I believe many of you will enjoy it.

Of course, they never challenge Democrats on the positions that really are extreme–e.g., advocating the sale of aborted babies’ body parts. Republicans need to push back against these transparent attempts not only to make Republicans look bad, but equally important, to change the subject away from $18 trillion in debt, a collapsing foreign policy, runaway illegal immigration, and so on. Yesterday on CNN, Carly Fiorina put on a clinic. Republican candidates, this is what you should do when a reporter tries to paint you into a corner...

First, since FDR was President, they may have been fine since it was one of their own making the rules.

It's been four years but half the American people are too stupid to understand. It is Nazi Germany, repeat a lie over and over again and people believe it. Obama says it Pravada repeats it. The problem is Republicans need to stand up for Bush's tax policy and explain it did not cause the crisis. Everyone runs away which just further pushes that narrative.

Polls are looking good. However some real clues lie in the size of the crowd Romney pulled in a district Obama won with 53% in 2008. Additionally Clinton going there for 4 stops tomorrow. That is important for two poins. Dems worried. And the bigger point (my editorial belief) they know Obama isn't popular but PA liked Clinton, so they are sending him to try to pull the indy's and Dem's they are losing!

Ryan is jut the man to do it. They have to explain that Government Revenues rose after these tax cuts, which is the exact purpose of taxes to drive government revenue (not to worry about percentages people pay but the real dollars that are driven into the government revenue. They have to then explain that spending more than those revenues is what drove the debt up.
