Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard announced Tuesday that she will be revoking security clearances for 37 current and former intel officials for allegedly abusing the public’s trust by manipulating information and conducting political activities. The officials on Gabbard’s list includes former top aides to Obama Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, who was involved with a discredited intelligence assessment that claimed Russia favored once-and-current President Donald Trump to win the 2016 election over Democratic rival Hillary Clinton.

Without a security clearance they lose their ability to work in the government, defense industry or private consulting. Any job in their field becomes unattainable. They can be a school teacher or a janitor

Security clearances should be granted only on a need to know basis. They certainly shouldn’t be retained as a retirement perk to produce income. This should all be removed and let them justify why they need it.

This exposes why Democrats have access to all communications and actions of a Republican administration, and can leak that information to destroy it. Security clearances should be revoked at the beginning of any new administration, and re-issued to appropriate personnel. All security clearances should have an automatic termination date.

One of my jobs while in Air Force Civil Service was Security Manager. It didn't take much for someone to get their Security Clearance Revoked. Usually it was something that put that person at risk of bribery or their behavior (DUI) etc. caused lack of trust. I can't even imagine how, with all the ILLEGAL stuff these Leftist Thugs are doing, how they keep a clearance. Obviously this Lawfare comes from the TOP and everyone below is expected to do exactly what they are told. That is the extremely Dangerous type of governance we DO NOT NEED. As a side note, I don't know what is taking so long to Crucify all of those involved in the Russia Collusion SCAM! If I were POTUS, I would have arrested all of them, taken them to GITMO and had Tribunals. No Lawyers, just FACTS. AFTER they are found guilty, and there is more than enough evidence, the Firing Squad then gets their target "Practice" !

With all of the discussion of a mid-cycle census and a fight brewing over a proposed mid-cycle reapportionment, much attention has focused on the flight of conservatives and moderates from blue states to red states. And for good reason; even if Donald Trump can't get an extraordinary Enumeration before the regular census in 2030, blue states will lose significant representation in Congress by 2033. California and New York will likely lose four House seats each by the 2030 census, and other blue states could lose up to a half-dozen or more. Americans have spent the last several years literally voting with their feet, and the bill will come due soon.

Trump's Biggest Immigration Win Yet 9 replies

Solving America's illegal immigration crisis didn't require amnesty -- just better leadership. Last week, the Center for Immigration Studies released a study showing America's foreign-born population dropped by 2.2 million from January to July. While the number of naturalized U.S. citizens increased, there was a staggering 1.6 million-person drop among illegal immigrants. CIS estimated that this represented a 10% decline in the country's illegal immigrant population. While determining the number of illegal immigrants always requires estimation, this drop is supported by anecdotal evidence. "Nurse in US for 40 years self-deports," a recent Newsweek headline reads.

House Speaker Dustin Burrows (R-Lubbock) issued a requirement that Democrat representatives must sign an agreement to be escorted by a DPS trooper on Monday after the legislators returned from a two-week quorum-breaking hiatus.

President Donald Trump’s voter approval rating surged to 54 percent following his summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska on Friday. An InsiderAdvantage survey conducted over the weekend found that Trump “now has an advantage among every age group other than the most senior of voters,” and improved his numbers among black (23.7) and Hispanic voters (47.2). White voters are at a near-record high approval with 64 percent. Over half of independents (50.4) are approving of Trump, while the vast majority of Republicans (92) and 17.9 percent of Democrats said the same.

Cracker Barrel shed almost $100 million in market value after its stock plunged Thursday following the release of a new logo. The new design eliminates a longstanding drawing of an overall-clad man leaning against a barrel, in favor of a cleaner logo featuring just the chain's name. Shares of Cracker Barrel fell $4.22, or 7.2%, to $54.80 in Thursday trading, shedding $94 million in market value. The stock had dipped to a low of $50.27 earlier in the day, representing a loss of almost $200 billion in its capitalization.

A serial pedophile has agreed to be castrated as part of a plea deal after he was caught trying to sexually assault a seven-year-old girl.  Thomas Allen McCartney, 37, is classified a 'Tier Three' offender and is considered one of Louisiana's worst child predators. McCartney has agreed to be both physically and chemically castrated as part of plea deal Tuesday in order to reduce his prison sentence - although he'll still spend 40 years in prison, according to local station Fox 12. Louisiana is the first and only state to allow surgical castration to be used as a punishment for sex crimes.

From the Miami Herald, Judge orders Alligator Alcatraz shut down in 60 days, says no more new detainees. It’s an Obama-appointed federal district judge, of course, and this is the case involving the alleged “environmental damage” being done to one of the world’s biggest swamps. From the Herald, Though her order does not prohibit the state from making repairs to the site, the most striking aspect of the order is her demand that the state begin removing all generators, gas, sewage, and other waste items that have transformed the airstrip into a detention center within 60 days, rendering the site uninhabitable. The state of Florida, of course, is appealing the decision.
