Lies the government is telling you : By Andrew P. Napolitano

Last week, Republicans and Democrats in Congress joined President Obama in congratulating themselves for taming the National Security Agency's voracious appetite for spying. By permitting one section of the Patriot Act to expire and by replacing it with the USA Freedom Act, the federal government is taking credit for taming beasts of its own creation.

In reality, nothing substantial has changed.

Under the Patriot Act, the NSA had access to and possessed digital versions of the content of all telephone conversations, emails and text messages sent between and among all people in America since 2009. Under the USA Freedom Act, it has the same. The USA Freedom Act changes slightly the mechanisms for acquiring this bulk data, but it does not change the amount or nature of the data the NSA acquires.

Under the Patriot Act, the NSA installed its computers in every main switching station of every telecom carrier and Internet service provider in the United States. It did this by getting Congress to immunize the carriers and providers from liability for permitting the feds to snoop on their customers and by getting the Department of Justice to prosecute the only CEO of a carrier who had the courage to send the feds packing.

In order to operate its computers at these facilities, the NSA placed its own computer analysts physically at those computers 24/7. It then went to the U.S. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) Court and asked for search warrants directing the telecoms and Internet service providers to make available to it all the identifying metadata — the times, locations, durations, email addresses and telephone numbers used — for all callers and email users in a given ZIP code or area code or on a customer list.

The first document revealed by Edward Snowden two years ago was a FISA court search warrant directed to Verizon ordering it to make available to NSA agents the metadata of all its customers — more than 113 million at the time. Once the court granted that search warrant and others like it, the NSA computers simply downloaded all that metadata and the digital recordings of content. Because the FISA court renewed every order it issued, this arrangement became permanent. http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2015/jun/10/andrew-napolitano-freedom-act-fails-to-curtail-nsa/#ixzz3clYClfeU

Army General Introduces His Husband at Pentagon Gay Pride Event

A married Army general on Tuesday introduced his spouse at a Pentagon event that featured lots of top brass, including Defense Secretary Ashton Carter as the keynote speaker.

What made this seemingly routine introduction noteworthy is that Brig. Gen. Randy S. Taylor introduced his husband, Lucas.

"My husband Lucas is sitting up front here," Gen. Taylor said of the man in the same row as Mr. Carter, Army Secretary John McHugh and other senior officials. He said Lucas has subjugated his own career to support the general's frequent moves over an 18-year relationship.

"We bet everything on my Army career," said Gen. Taylor, whose 27 years of service spanned an outright ban on gays, then "don't ask, don't tell" and finally, the ban's lifting in 2011.

Gen. Taylor was the master of ceremonies for the Pentagon's 4th Gay Pride celebration that showcases a month of gay-themed posters and history.                                                                                                                                         http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2015/jun/9/army-gen-randy-taylor-introduces-his-husband-penta/#ixzz3ceWoqufl

It’s Starting: Chelsea Clinton for President ; BY PAUL BEDARD

Since she has already expressed an openness to running for Senate in New York, it only makes sense that buzz would begin over Chelsea Clinton one day becoming president.

Democrats promoting a Clinton dynasty have whispered about it, but now a prominent Republican pundit is openly detailing a possible path to the presidency for Chelsea Clinton.

In his new book "The Queen," top radio talker Hugh Hewitt lays it out in memo style to Hillary Clinton. An advance sales copy was provided to the Examiner.

He spells out a twisted route to the Oval Office that begins with Hillary, as the Democratic nominee, picking a vice president who doesn't have the usual ambitions and would step aside during Clinton's re-election, if she wanted. Hewitt suggests Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick, his former Harvard University classmate.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                Next, after winning the presidency next year, Hillary Clinton would name New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand to the Supreme Court when an opening occurred. She'd make sure that Chelsea Clinton was appointed as Gillibrand's replacement.

The final move would be to the vice presidency for Chelsea. How? Either Hillary dies and Patrick names Chelsea as his veep, or he steps aside to allow the mother-daughter ticket. "Should you topple over and Vice President Patrick suddenly become President Patrick, he will name Chelsea immediately if your demise comes late enough to have gotten her to the Senate," Hewitt wrote in "The Queen."                                                                                                                                             http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/its-starting-chelsea-clinton-for-president/article/2565864

On Wednesday, NBC's Today seized on two New York Times hit pieces against Republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio, as national correspondent Peter Alexander proclaimed: "He is one of the Republicans' fastest rising stars, just 44, the youngest presidential candidate in the field. But this morning, new scrutiny is focused on Florida Senator Marco Rubio's financial struggles and spending habits."

2. MSNBC Live Mocks Republicans for Being Less Popular Than Voldemort

On the June 10 edition of MSNBC Live, Thomas Roberts chose to highlight a non-scientific poll that showed several Republican candidates for president polling behind Voldemort from Harry Potter. MSNBC Live regular Frances Rivera noted that the Terminator, the shark from Jaws, and Lord Voldemort all had higher favorability ratings than many of the major Republican players.

3. Rachel Maddow Mourns: Liberal Republicans Like Lincoln Chafee Are 'Extinct'

MSNBC anchor Rachel Maddow on Tuesday couldn't help herself as she fawned over the liberal credentials of Republican turned independent turned Democrat Lincoln Chafee. Despite the fact that Chafee is no longer a member of the GOP, the journalist repeatedly hyped his former status. She recounted, "In 2004, when President George W. Bush was running for re-election as president there was one Republican U.S. senator" who didn't vote for the incumbent.

4. ABC and CBS Skip Obama Criticism in Covering Return of U.S. Troops to Iraq

Following news on Wednesday that the Obama administration will send 450 additional U.S. troops back to Iraq to help train the Iraqi military against ISIS, ABC's World News Tonight and the CBS Evening News chose to exclude any criticism of the Obama administration's ISIS policy while NBC Nightly News made multiple critical points about the administration as Richard Engel declared: "It's hard to see how a few hundred non-combat troops are going to make much of a difference."

5. Networks Punt on EPA Announcing Plans to Regulate Airplane Emissions

For the third time in just under three weeks, the major broadcast networks ignored news related to the Obama administration's Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) with the latest news coming on Wednesday that the agency has announced its goal to regulate aircraft emissions in a similar fashion that it does for automobiles and powerplants. FNC's Special Report and the PBS NewsHour, however, found time to inform their viewers of the agency's latest foray into the economy.

6. On NBC, Seinfeld Slams 'Creepy PC Thing' 'Moving the Lines In' on Comedy

Jerry Seinfeld blasted political correctness on the early Wednesday edition of NBC's Late Night With Seth Meyers. Seinfeld cited how he recently got a negative reaction to a "gay French king" joke: "I can imagine a time when people say, 'Well, that's offensive to suggest that a gay person moves their hands in a flourishing motion, and you now need to apologize.' I mean, there's a creepy PC thing out there that really bothers me."

7. Only CBS Notices Seinfeld 'Calling Out Millennials' for Political Correctness

After comedian Jerry Seinfeld told ESPN radio that political correctness on college campuses was hurting comedy, Wednesday's CBS This Morning was the only network news broadcast to report on the topic. Fill-in co-host Jeff Glor declared: "Jerry Seinfeld thinks young people today are too politically correct for his comedy....The former sitcom star is raising some controversy, calling out millennials for not being able to laugh."

8. Shorter MSNBC: Seinfeld's Jab at 'Creepy PC' Isn't Valid Because He's Rich

Alex Wagner, along with her three liberal guests, ripped Jerry Seinfeld on her MSNBC program on Wednesday, for his blast at "creepy" political correctness. Wagner hinted that Seinfeld had "fallen behind the times." New York magazine's Annie Lowrey mocked his critique: "I kind of roll my eyes at Jerry Seinfeld. You know, he's a billionaire – like I don't feel sorry for him if people don't laugh hard enough at his jokes."

What Really Happened In McKinney, Texas by Mychal Massie

It has been a banner year or so for race mongers. They have been able to paint police as over-zealous racist, jack-booted, white heathens, going about in the tradition of the Ku Klux Klan.
This period of time will be etched in school textbooks along with all of the other lies and half-truths portraying the plight of blacks as the fault of "white America". But the truth will receive far less attention. That is why I am here.

The latest so-called police atrocity allegedly took place in McKinney, Texas just a few days ago. To hear the media and witnesses tell it, a McKinney police officer ruthlessly kneed a poor little black girl in the back as he viciously restrained her, and pointed his gun on others. As you would expect there is even the obligatory cell phone video of the horrible scene.

But as always the truth presents a far different picture. The following is an eyewitness account that was forwarded to me by Nicole S. Judge for yourself how this eyewitness account differs from the stories being spread across be the media. It is shared unedited as I received it.

A DJ set up in a public square next to the private pool in our neighborhood on Friday and played loud explicit (F-bomb) music for multiple hours (it is unclear if he was invited by a resident as no one has claimed responsibility). The teenagers (both black and white) were being brought into our neighborhood by the carload because the DJ was tweeting out invites to a "pool party" for $15 (obviously unauthorized by our neighborhood).

The teens began fighting with each other and pushing their way into our private pool. Some were jumping our fence. The security guard was accosted when he tried to stop the beginnings of this mob scene. Some residents who live around the park/pool area tried to come out and settle things down.

The teens started yelling racial slurs at our neighbors and started yelling racial slurs at our neighbors and started assaulting people and property (throwing bottles at cars and attacking a mother at the pool with her three young children).

The first officer on the scene was by himself. At that time, the party had grown to a large, aggressive crowd. As the officer arrived, many teens started running through our neighborhood. Many of the teens were very aggressive and yelling at the officers as more arrived.

This was a very dangerous situation for the officers AND the teens/residents not involved. The news media has refused to hear the neighborhood's side of this story. The video being distributed is only a very small segment of what happened. [The] information being distributed by the media and others is extremely distorted and in some cases outright lies.

PLEASE HELP US STOP THE BROADCASTING OF THIS IGNORANCE. The media is trying to make it look like our neighborhood is a white's only, racist area. Anyone who has spent even a few minutes in our area knows this is an outright LIE.

The unfortunate result is that our neighbors are now being threatened. We have also had cars and property in and around the park area vandalized this weekend. Unfortunately, the press and social media are trying to enflame the situation.

In the aftermath of this melee the accused officer has resigned. His life is ruined while the ignorant and savage youths will continue to think they are above the law.
My job is to present the truth to you factually. The media's job apparently is to seek ratings and advertising dollars at the expense of the truth.

We must make the truth of what really took place go viral. This type of outburst is closer to your area than you think.         http://mychal-massie.com/premium/what-really-happened-in-mckinney-texas/?inf_contact_key=778e2b9c885828b5d2bba18ee6f06d455dadad02568410d331cd754bec4d4c3c
