IG will probe FBI abuses of FISA, after Trump surveillance - Washington Times:

"The Justice Department’s inspector general said Wednesday that he is investigating whether the FBI overstepped its bounds when it conducted secret surveillance of a Trump campaign figure in 2016 and 2017, and whether the FBI bungled its handling of the anti-Trump “Steele dossier.”
Republicans last week revealed that the dossier played a significant role in getting the secretive Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act court to approve wiretaps of Carter Page, a foreign policy adviser to the Trump campaign."

Under 10 Percent Of Protesters Were Kids | The Daily Caller:

"University of Maryland sociologist Dana Fisher conducted a study of the demographics of Saturday’s march in Washington, D.C., and discovered that only less than 10 percent of those in the crowd were under the age of 18.
While Fisher tried to make it sound like these individuals were all potential voters, it is likely that many of those who showed up were simply run-of-the-mill liberal activists."

Did Facebook’s ‘favors’ for the Obama campaign constitute a violation of federal law? | Fox News:

"According to Carol Davidsen, the former media director for Obama for America, Facebook gave the 2012 Obama campaign direct access to the personal data of Facebook users in violation of its internal rules, making a special exception for the campaign. The Daily Mail, a British newspaper, reported that Davidsen said on Twitter March 18 that Facebook employees came to the campaign office and “were very candid that they allowed us to do things they wouldn’t have allowed someone else to do because they were on our side.”"

Friend or Foe

By Tammy Derouin

I get so tired of all the manufactured hatred being pushed to pursue a liberal political agenda. If hate and violence are acceptable as a justifiable means to an end, how good is the destination? When rule of man is favored over rule of law, it only takes a shift in the political wind to reclassify you from friend to foe. Rule of law, justice applied equally to all, checks and balances among our branches of government and our freedom is what makes us uniquely exceptional among nations.

It's sad to see so many people embrace harmful political ideals as well as harmful practices which are becoming socially acceptable such as socialism, ignoring the threat of the radicalization of our enemies both foreign and domestic, using religion as a protective shield when the message is death and destruction while the Christian faith, which teaches love, understanding and forgiveness, is under attack. Institutions of so called higher education and those on the political Left are denying true science such as biology and embrace false science for a political agenda.

I had a conversation with someone who voted for Bernie Sanders. I was told he sounded good. The individual was surprised when I mentioned socialism and didn't realize the ideology he had “unintentionally” supported. Sadly, so many do not look into the background of those they support. They listen to sound bites and Left-wing propaganda which is delivered by the main stream media. But, they embrace it for the same reason so many Americans are begging the government to enslave us by foolishly demanding that our elected officials legislate away our rights. They do not understand the value of our freedom. They do not understand what they are doing. Maybe they never learned about the blessings of liberty and the reasons we fought against tyranny. Knowledge of our history is key to understanding and protecting our rights.

Perhaps they never learned what happens when a dictator comes to power and how quickly the rule of man can have devastating effects on a country and its people. Embracing an economic system which has failed many times over and jumping on band wagons to demand that our rights be removed are perfect examples that they do not understand the consequences of their demands. They also do not realize that they are being used to promote an agenda of enslavement. When you take a closer look at the organizations and individuals who are pushing these anti-freedom movements, it paints a much clearer picture of the trap they are setting.

The continuous call to limit our freedom while using hatred and violence as a justifiable means to an end is extremely troubling. Calling for limits on speech because you are uncomfortable with the message or it might hurt your feelings is very disturbing. The American people, given the facts and the truth, are capable of making good decisions. Not allowing fellow Americans to speak because you do not agree with them hurts everyone in the end.

Demanding more gun laws, which will only affect law-abiding citizens, does not solve the problem of gun violence or any kind of shooting because the gun, by itself, is not the problem. Placing more restrictions on law-abiding citizens will make future situations worse because fewer individuals would be able to step in and stop a shooter. Why do those on the Left accept that their politicians and entertainment icons have gun wielding security detail but the rest of us do not deserve the same protection? Those who are encouraging you to give up your right to bear arms have armed security surrounding them as they speak down to you.

Thinking that the government is capable of protecting you or that you will be safer if you simply give up your right to protect yourself, is a very flawed way of thinking. If law abiding citizens lose their right to keep and bear arms, only the criminals and the government will be armed. You will not be safer. You will be much more vulnerable to attack. Without the right to keep and bear arms, how long before the rest of your rights will be infringed upon by those who wish to control you? The Second Amendment is for far more than hunting and personal protection rights.

The founding fathers knew that an armed citizenry was key to protecting our freedom from a runaway, out-of-control government. Individuals who wish to harm and kill, target gun free zones for a reason. Imagine how easy it would be for a an anti-American elected president with an anti-American agenda to destroy our country if we allow our Second Amendment right to disappear due to lack of knowledge.

“Are we at last brought to such a humiliating and debasing degradation, that we cannot be trusted with arms for our own defense?”

Tucker Finally Had Enough of David Hogg, Took Him Down on National TV:

"Whenever someone calls Hogg out on the fact that being a shooting survivor does not make one an expert on constitutional law, gun policy, school security, or really anything other than your own experience, they’re called insensitive — almost as if the left is hiding behind these child soldiers, using them as human shields.

Fox News host Tucker Carlson has had enough of this line of thinking."
