The NSA Does Not Deny Reading
Tucker Carlson’s Emails
Posted By: Dreadnought, 7/6/2021 12:10:56 PM
I laughed when Fox News host Tucker Carlson said a National Security Agency (NSA) whistleblower told him that agency was monitoring his emails to leak them in an attempt to take his show off the air. From my 19 years as a CIA analyst and five years with House Intelligence Committee staff, I found this impossible to believe, for three reasons. First, I believed NSA’s huge and lumbering bureaucracy would never agree to such a flagrant violation of the agency’s foreign intelligence charter to spy on a leading conservative American journalist. Even if most NSA officials and analysts dislike Carlson, I assumed they would view CORRECTION*

A federal judge on Wednesday ruled against an organization challenging parts of Georgia's new voting law, citing ongoing runoff races in the state legislature.
U.S. District Judge J.P. Boulee of the Northern District of Georgia said he wasn't willing to block parts of the law in the middle of state House runoff elections, which are scheduled to take place next week.
"We are at the juncture where all of the challenged provisions are already the law," he wrote in the order. "Therefore, an injunction would not merely preserve the status quo; rather, it would change the law in the ninth inning."
CNN has found an explanation for what it calls the nationwide “panic” over Critical Race Theory: white people are “afraid that they might be complicit in racism” and that they will be “blamed for their ancestors’ crimes,” the network reported Tuesday.
CNN has been defending Critical Race Theory for nearly a decade, ever since Andrew Breitbart and Breitbart News brought it to national attention. Then as now, CNN portrayed opposition to the theory as the product of white people’s irrational fears, rather than reasoned objection.
In a story and video by New York-based correspondent Elle Reeve, and video producers Deborah Brunswick and Samantha Guff, CNN claims, without evidence, that conservatives use
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, during a stop in Murray, KY, promised that Republicans would put up one “hell of a fight” against the far-left’s efforts at racial “infrastructure” plans.
During McConnell’s speech, he anticipated a “big argument” with the Democrats and their radical reconciliation plan, which would allow them to ram through parts of their radical wish list into the infrastructure to avoid Republicans.
“The era of bipartisanship on this stuff is over,” McConnell said, speaking to the crowd. “This is going to be a hell of a fight over what this country ought to look like in the future, and it’s going to unfold here in the next few weeks.
Tuesday night on MSNBC’s The ReidOut, host Joy Reid and longtime faux Republican Matthew Dowd engaged in some corrosive, offensive, and repulsive rhetoric as they insisted that the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol was worse than the radical Islamic terror attacks on September 11, 2001 and that an insufficient number of Democrats share the same concern.
And in the segment beforehand, Reid showed off her anti-Christian bigotry by mocking Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) for “tweet[ing] Bible verses every day for random reasons” as he, according to Reid, supports white supremacists.
The Unlivable City

People are fleeing California in general, and San Francisco in particular, in droves. As to San Francisco, the fundamental problem is lawlessness. Which means not just violent crime, which the city has in abundance, but a breakdown in the fundamental norms of civilization that make urban living possible.
The main problem is that San Francisco’s far-left city administration has decided not to prosecute theft. The result, naturally, is an epidemic of theft. Thus Target, for example, is now closing its San Francisco stores at 6 p.m.
Target told KPIX5 the decision to adjust its store hours in San Francisco was related to theft

Last week, it was all about the Delta variant of COVID-19. Health experts tell us this variant is more transmissible than other variants, but vaccines still appear to prevent severe disease and death effectively. It also does not appear to be causing severe illness in children any more than the other variants have, which is excellent news. Researchers earlier in the pandemic felt exposure to COVID-19 in childhood could help build long-term immune responses, making the virus far less virulent over time.
Currently, the Delta variant is raging in the UK. Yet Prime Minister Boris Johnson
The Capitol is still locked down, still closed to Americans. One has to ask why.
The Democrats are going to try to use the ‘investigation’ of the three-hour Capitol riot by a select committee to continue an effort to connect Republicans to the event and bash them going into 2022.
All that is troubling.
But now there’s something that perhaps is even more troubling because of the clear potential for abuse. According to the New York Times, the U.S. Capitol Police have announced they are now planning to expand operations outside Washington “beginning with the opening of field offices in California and Florida” but the plan is to open “several additional regional offices.”
TOPLINE A third-party IT company tied to the Republican National Committee was breached last week, the RNC said Tuesday, but the party says its data is secure, denying a report from Bloomberg that its computers were accessed by a Russian government-linked hacking group. KEY FACTS
Bloomberg, citing two unnamed sources, says hackers from the group “Cozy Bear” — which experts and U.S. officials have linked to Russian intelligence services — breached the RNC last week, though it’s unclear whether they stole any files.
The RNC pushed back against this report in a statement to Forbes: The RNC said
Eric Adams was pronounced the winner of New York City’s Democratic mayoral primary on Tuesday after preliminary final numbers showed the centrist won 50.5 percent of the vote.
The Associated Press called the race for Adams after the results showed he narrowly defeated former sanitation commissioner Kathryn Garcia by 8,426 votes. Garcia received 49.5 percent after eight rounds of voting.
Adams, a former police captain, beat out a crowded field in New York’s first major race to use ranked-choice voting.
If elected, Adams would become the city’s second black mayor. As Democrats outnumber Republicans by 7-to-1 in New York City
White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Tuesday that President Joe Biden would “certainly support” states re-imposing coronavirus restrictions.
A CBS News reporter asked Psaki if “the White House would reimpose” coronavirus “restrictions, as cases tick up, or is it up to the states?”
“We certainly support their decisions to implement measures that will make their community safe,” Psaki explained. “States and local communities will have to make evaluations about what is in their interest.”
“There are much higher rates of vaccination in some parts of the country versus others,” she continued. “We are at almost 70 percent vaccination rate for adults 27 and older but almost for adults 18 and older.”

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki made a lot of antennas go up during Tuesday’s press conference when announcing the administration’s latest plan to try to get more people to take the coronavirus vaccine.
Psaki outlined the things they were going to focus on. She then explained that one way that they were going to increase vaccinations was to go “door to door” to do outreach to “get remaining Americans vaccinated.” Psaki said that the government would be doing “targeted by community door-to-door outreach to get remaining Americans vaccinated by ensuring they have the information they need on how both safe and accessible the vaccine is.”

On Tuesday, Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-N.Y.) pioneered a new strategy to grasp for near-dictatorial power: declaring gun violence in the State of New York a “public health crisis” and a “disaster emergency.” Cuomo touted his “first-in-the-nation” initiative as a positive step for New York, rather than an excuse to circumvent the legislature. Cuomo even cited his own tyrannical abuses during the COVID-19 pandemic as precedent for the overreach.
Democrats have dropped hints that they might use various “public health” emergency declarations as an excuse to grasp power and circumvent the normal legislative process. Democrats have filed a bill to declare a national emergency on climate, for example.

We just don't know. We just don't know what comes next. It is all a calculated guess. The US Constitution is silent. Even if, if, if, it is so very clear through professional forensic election audit results, that the presidential election of 2020 was stolen and President Trump actually won, there appears to be no obvious remedy stated in the US Constitution to right this wrong. (snip) We know that President Trump is planning something very big and important this summer, and America might look and fell very different by Labor Day Weekend. (snip) Trump supporters. Would they gear up for the 2022 off-year elections
Six months after resigning as attorney general, William Barr recently re-entered the spotlight, reportedly telling friendly news correspondent Jonathan Karl that allegations of vote fraud during the 2020 election are bull. Now that civilian Bill Barr has jumped back into the political fray, it is time to take unflinching stock of the degraded Department of Justice (DOJ) and how it became even further corrupted during Barr's reign.
When Catherine the Great of Russia traveled in the late 18th-century, her former lover, Grigory Potemkin, would travel ahead of her and build hasty facades along the main thoroughfares in impoverished, bedraggled villages to create the impression of a prosperous nation. Thus, a Potemkin village is a fake that artificially puffs up a leader’s competence and popularity. Two recent videos, one of Biden’s fans turning out to greet him in Michigan and another of Trump’s fans turning out for him in Florida, show that Biden is a Potemkin president. It’s all fake.
Director and producer Spike Lee declared Tuesday that more than 30 years after he made “Do The Right Thing,” Black people are still being “hunted down like animals” in America. During the Cannes Film Festival jury press conference in France, Mr. Lee, who is the first Black person to lead the jury, spoke highly of the late film critic Roger Ebert after his widow mentioned her late husband was outraged and had even threatened to boycott the festival after “Do The Right Thing” didn’t win any awards in 1989.

President Joe Biden on Tuesday warned that those who have not gotten their COVID vaccine shot should be 'thinking twice' about that decision, given the rising cases tied to the Delta variant. 'It's more easily transmissible potentially more dangerous,' he said in remarks at the White House, adding 'let me put it another way, seems to be that should cause everybody to think twice.' COVID cases are up in nearly half the states, a new analysis showed, while the Delta variant, first detected in India, is responsible for 26% of new cases. Biden outlined a 'targeted' plan to have Americans go door to door to spread word about the
Afghan troops have been filmed laying down their arms to the Taliban as the terror group shows off the American-made weapons it has seized after US and Nato troops beat a hasty retreat. The Afghan army is collapsing across the country and the Taliban appear to be winning the propaganda war with videos to prove that they will welcome surrendering soldiers—as long as they hand over their state-of-the-art weapons and Humvee armoured cars.(Snip)However, General Austin Scott Miller, commander of US and Nato troops in Afghanistan, said he was shocked by how quickly the Afghan National Army had surrendered to the Taliban.
The White House under President Joe Biden is staffed by the most women and employees who are members of ethnic or racial minority groups of any administration in recorded history, according to a personnel report delivered to Congress last week.The report, released on the White House website, indicated that women make up six in 10 staffers in the Biden White House, and earn less than one percent on average lower than their male peers. The average salary for a woman in the White House was $93,752 and for a man was $94,639.Those values starkly contrast with gender pay gaps that existed in both former Presidents

Several members of the U.S. Women’s National Team (USWNT) turned away from the flag as a 98-year-old WWII veteran played the national anthem.
The incident occurred Monday, just before the USWNT took-on Mexico in their final tune-up before the Tokyo Olympics. A longer version of the video can be seen here: The veteran playing the harmonica is Pete DuPré, who has gained national notoriety playing the anthem at sporting events all over the country. The USWNT protest on Monday was not the first time U.S. athletes have snubbed the flag while qualifying for the Olympics. In late June, hammer thrower Gwen Berry also turned away
President Biden on Tuesday will outline steps to persuade Americans to get vaccinated as fast-moving variants threaten his COVID-19 fight, launching “door to door” efforts in neighborhoods and making sure the shots are available in doctors’ offices. The initiative will spotlight vaccines in pediatricians’ offices so patients ages 12 to 18 can get immunized ahead of the school year and fall sports, according to a White House official. Mr. Biden also will detail efforts to get the shots into workplaces, so vaccination is more convenient.(Snip)Mr. Biden is navigating a duality of his own, celebrating his administration’s progress in the fight against the pandemic
A video posted to Instagram captures yet another brazen act of shoplifting in San Francisco, this time at the luxury department store Neiman Marcus where at least ten people stole armfuls of designer goods and then fled without anyone trying to stop them. The footage reveals the shoplifters leaving the Union Square store, each carrying bags of stolen items with the security tags still dangling off of them. The perpetrators then ran in different directions, with a few speeding away from the scene in a white sedan.(Snip)The city’s surge in such incidents arose almost immediately after the passage of Proposition 47, a ballot referendum
A United States Air Force Academy professor has argued Critical Race Theory should be taught to all cadets so that they can understand how the United States was 'shaped by racism.' Political scientist Lynne Chandler García said the Constitution brought about 'inequality' and that George Washington was a racist. She argued that the history of the U.S. proved that 'racism has shaped both foreign and domestic policy.' Garcia, who teaches Marxist theory at the USAF Academy in Colorado Springs, said she agreed with the Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman General Mark Milley who recently told Congress that Critical Race Theory 'is not unpatriotic.'
In a remarkable display of how committed the Democrat party is to utilizing the narrative of domestic extremism for their own benefit, Nancy Pelosi is placing satellite field offices for the DC Capitol Police in key regions around the country. When we consider the FBI has field offices all over the country, you might ask: why does the Capitol Hill police need to expand beyond Washington DC? Essentially, what Nancy Pelosi is doing is expanding the federal law enforcement mechanism of the legislative branch into specific areas where they can investigate political opposition armed with legal authority.
