Declassified FISA Opinion Shows More FBI Abuses

 

A FISA Court opinion and order declassified today reveals continued FBI abuses of “raw FISA-acquired information.” After a DOJ National Security Division review, the FISA Court noted “the FBI’s failure to properly apply its querying standard when searching Section 702-acquired information was more pervasive than was previously believed.”

 

Judge James Boasberg, who presides over the FISA Court, found little issue with these abuses. In fact, Boasberg concluded:

“[T]he Court is willing to again conclude that the improper queries described above do not undermine its prior determination that, with implementation of the documentation requirement, the FBI’s querying and minimization procedures meet statutory and Fourth Amendment requirements.”

 

These guys have open game on destroying anyone at anytime, for no reason.

This is some scary stuff.

Gavin Newsom, Facing Recall, Announces New Stimulus Checks for 2/3 Californians

 

Gov. Gavin Newsom announced Monday that the state is projected to have a $38 billion discretionary surplus in 2021 — and that he wants to use it to expand the state’s stimulus program by sending additional checks to two-thirds of California residents.

 

California has the highest estimated debt of any state, with nearly $363 billion in liabilities in 2019, according to Forbes.

 

but yeah free little checks to buy votes

It’s even more transparently corrupt  than the the federal programs paying off labor unions for their support.

Democratic Death Watch: 'Biden’s agenda is pretty much dangling by a thread'

by John Sexton

 

Yes, my headline is pretty blunt but no more so than this NY Times piece itself. Last week CNN published a story about the progressive push to get Justice Breyer to retire. There’s was one paragraph in that story which I found particularly striking. It noted that the Senate could fall into Republican’s hands “at any moment” because “two members of the Democratic majority are near or just over 80 years old.” In other words, Democrats are one stopped heartbeat away from losing the chance to replace Breyer with a young progressive.

 

Today, the NY Times weighs in with a piece that is focused not just on Justice Breyer but the possibility that President Biden’s entire agenda could come to a grinding halt if the wrong people were to die suddenly.

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/10/upshot/democrats-agenda-hinges-health.html

 

“Our ability to make good on Biden’s agenda is pretty much dangling by a thread,” said Brian Fallon, a former aide to Senator Chuck Schumer, the Democratic majority leader. “I don’t think it’s uncouth to talk about it. I think it’s a reality that has to inform the urgency with which we approach those issues.”…

In the most extreme case, deaths could end Democrats’ ability to pass legislation without Republican support — or even flip control of either chamber. That’s more likely in the evenly divided Senate, where a single Democratic vacancy could hand Republicans committee gavels and the power to schedule votes until a Democratic successor was appointed or elected.

A serious illness could also upset the party’s delicate legislative arithmetic. “Schumer needs all 50 votes,” said Mr. Fallon, now the executive director of Demand Justice, a progressive advocacy group focused on the federal judiciary. “If somebody is laid up or is hospitalized for a long period of time and their vote’s not there, then having the majority is somewhat meaningless.”

It’s also possible that a special election or governor’s appointment could shift Senate control more lastingly. Several states require governors to fill vacancies with a temporary replacement of the same political party as the departed senator. But nine senators in the Democratic caucus represent states with Republican governors who can appoint anyone they choose. That could let a Republican governor name a Republican replacement, giving Republicans the majority, even if it may be temporary.

 

 

 

The Times doesn’t even stop at identifying particular Senators who might be at elevated risk of death:

 

Patrick Leahy, 81, Democrat of Vermont, was briefly hospitalized in January. Thom Tillis, 60, a North Carolina Republican, underwent cancer treatment. Questions have been raised about the health of Dianne Feinstein, 87, a Democrat who has represented California since 1992. Vermont’s other senator, Bernie Sanders, 79, had a heart attack in 2019.

 

The focus of this story is what happens if one of these elderly Democrats were to die in the next six months or so. Suddenly, it’s possible Democrats lose control long before the outcome of the 2022 elections where Republicans have a real chance to take the House. And if that happens, Biden’s ability to pass big progressive bills is over for his entire first term. So as much as this Democratic death watch seems a bit grim, it really does have the potential to completely alter the course of this administration.

 

Ultimately, I think this story is being pushed by progressives who are trying to send a message to Justice Breyer. Brian Fallon, who is quoted in the piece, leads Demand Justice, the same group that sent this mobile billboard truck to the Supreme Court last month.

Bluntness is their modus operandi so it wouldn’t surprise me if the entire piece was their idea.

It would not surprise me in the least if operatives in the progressive world didn’t help some of these people along.  
 

It’s amazing, too, the age of some of these geezers and how long they have been in positions of power (D and R).  
 

For perspective, Nixon’s five o’clock shadow and makeup/lack thereof played a part in detailing his chances back in the day.  In 2020, the d race was all about an old commie having a heart attack on the campaign trail v an old moderate-*****-progressive blowing a retinal gasket in a debate and interestingly, that wasn’t even the big issue—an eyeball filling with blood in real time.  The even larger issue was his ability to use words like “it”, “the”, and “God” in the proper context, not referencing his great personal relationships with leaders long dead, and trying to remember who his opponent was without PhDr. Jill’s assistance and guidance.  That his opponent has had arguably the most recognizable name on the planet makes that even more amazing.

BIDEN’S RETURN TO LAWFULNESS:   Biden HHS Secretary Attempts to ERASE a Federal Abortion Law He Doesn’t Like.

 

Is the Biden administration attempting to unilaterally erase federal law? On Wednesday, Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Xavier Becerra denied the existence of the Partial Birth Abortion Ban Act of 2003, a law that bans the brutal procedure of intact dilation and extraction abortions. He explicitly said, “There is no law that deals specifically with the term ‘partial-birth abortion.'” He suggested that Roe v. Wade (1973) would allow such a practice.

 

That is a grotesque lie and it appears to be an attempt to erase history and the plain text of American law.

 

In 2003, Congress passed and President George W. Bush signed the Partial Birth Abortion Ban Act. In 2007, the Supreme Court upheld the law in Gonzales v. Carhart. Yet Becerra suggested the law simply does not exist. Perhaps he is still bitter that it passed despite the fact that Becerra himself voted against it.
