The Federal Bureau of Investigation may have conducted as many as 3.4 million searches of Americans' elecronic data without a warrant last year. The Wall Street Journal first cited the number Friday, saying it came from an annual report published by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. The report doesn't allege that the FBI was illegally or improperly searching American data, but still could alarm members of Congress over privacy concerns.White House press secretary Jen Psaki said at Friday's press briefing she had not discussed the Journal's report with President Joe Biden.

NEW YORK—When some two dozen New Yorkers filed into a Manhattan courthouse this week to finish out their grand jury service, the case against a man who would have been the world’s most prominent criminal defendant was no longer before them. That man, Donald Trump, was facing potential criminal charges from the grand jury this year over his business practices. But in the weeks since the Manhattan district attorney, Alvin Bragg, stopped presenting evidence to the jurors about Trump, new signs have emerged that the former president will not be indicted in Manhattan in the foreseeable future — if at all.

A federal speech czar? Just as the Founders imagined it, no doubt.Earlier this week, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas told Congress that his agency is creating a “Disinformation Governance Board” to combat “misinformation” coming from Russia as we near this year’s midterm elections.The Biden administration’s new Committee on Public Information will be led by Nina Jankowicz, “a disinformation fellow” who, perfectly enough, comes to the administration from a think tank named after Woodrow Wilson.Like Wilson, Mayorkas, himself a font of untruths,

The person tapped to head President Biden’s new Big Brother-like disinformation board drew fresh disdain Friday over her flippant attitude toward misinformation — and her own history of spreading it.Nina Jankowicz’s ability to be taken seriously in her role on Homeland Security’s new Orwellian “Disinformation Governance Board” was thrown into question after a cringeworthy TikTok video resurfaced of her adapting the Mary Poppins tune “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious” to be about fake news. “Information laundering is really quite ferocious.

Elon Musk buying Twitter and taking over the controversial social media platform is the greatest defense of freedom and democracy since President Ronald Reagan said, “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall” in 1987.For years now, Twitter, Facebook, Google and other Big Tech giants — run by rabid left-wing political activists — have been wrongfully and deceitfully silencing scores of conservatives and anyone who strays from their stringent liberal orthodoxy. Whether those who dissent from the elites’ political viewpoints are exposing facts or the truth is irrelevant; all that matters to Big Tech oligarchs is controlling the narrative and the dissemination of information in order to keep Democrats in power

Nina Jankowicz, the chair of the new Disinformation Governance Board in the Department of Homeland Security, wanted Facebook to censor Breitbart News, joining the left’s calls for Silicon Valley to censor conservative news outlets in 2019.Jankowicz, 33, whose past statements (and songs) came under scrutiny after her new job became widely known this week, once promoted the “Russia collusion” conspiracy theory, and denied in 2020 that Hunter Biden’s laptop was authentic.

Before her new job at the Department of Homeland Security, President Joe Biden’s new disinformation chief Nina Jankowicz displayed her musical talent on YouTube. In one video, Jankowicz sings a version of “My Simple Christmas Wish (Rich, Famous, and Powerful)” by David Friedman. “I want to be rich famous and powerful! Step on all my enemies and never do a thing,” she sings as a piano plays in the background.Jankowicz sang an edited version of the song to include “Who do I f***” to be “famous and powerful,” instead of the original lyrics “who do I have to fake”

Hero Bravest Timothy “Timmy” Klein’s heart-wrenching funeral was held Friday in the same Queens church where he was supposed to be the next day — as a groomsman in a wedding party for a best buddy.A memorial to the fallen 31-year-old firefighter will now be placed in the church during the marriage service instead.“The amazing thing about Timmy is that he accomplished so much in such a short time,” the Rev. William Sweeny said at Klein’s packed funeral at the Church of St. Francis de Sales in Belle Harbor, near where the dead fireman grew up.“In fact, he was supposed to be in a wedding party tomorrow

Stacy Escamilla’s husband, Paul, was a Chicago police officer who suffered in stoic silence before taking his own life.Julie Troglia is the widow of Jeff, who only occasionally “debriefed” with his wife about the daily horrors he endured before descending into the hopelessness that culminated in suicide.On Friday, both women shared their emotional stories with the Chicago Sun-Times in hope that it might embolden their colleagues to seek help before they reach their breaking point.Their goal was not simply to beat the drum for extending to surviving spouses the same financial benefits afforded to families of officers killed in the line of duty.

Some liberals cannot stare coldly at the Democrats losing the governor's race in Virginia last year after Terry McAuliffe spent the entire campaign talking about Trump, Trump, and more Trump. Glenn Youngkin was not Trump. On Friday's Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough's urgent electoral advice to Democrats was to make voters "very afraid" of the "crazy" Republicans. He and his supporting cast deployed a plethora of related epithets, calling Republicans: "dupes, knuckleheads, weirdos, freaks, loony, kooks, out of their blanking minds,

Another issue with the software in Dominion voting machines was reported last night in New Mexico. Earlier this week we reported that there were errors found in the EAC certified Dominion machines in a recent election in Tennessee.The ‘glitch’ moved a ballot and all ballots after that ballot to the adjudication process. From there the ballots could be manipulated since not processed in the normal count process.Nick Moseder reports:“What can you do with provisional ballots set off to the side? You can mass adjudicate them anytime down the road however you want and then tabulate them to the count using the RTR process outlined in the Dominion user manuals.”

Elon Musk on Friday trolled Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez after she complained about “some billionaire with an ego problem” that unilaterally controls a massive platform. “Tired of having to collectively stress about what explosion of hate crimes is happening bc some billionaire with an ego problem unilaterally controls a massive communication platform and skews it because Tucker Carlson or Peter Thiel took him to dinner and made him feel special’ AOC said in her typical dramatic fashion.
