As required by law, the NSA will end its wide-ranging surveillance program by 11:59 p.m. EST Saturday (4:59 a.m. GMT Sunday) and expects to have the new, scaled-back system in place by then, the White House said.   Continue reading “NSA to shut down bulk phone surveillance program by Sunday”

Turkey is so militarily inferior to Russia that it is unlikely Turkey would commit an act of war against Russia without encouragement from Washington. We might think that Turkey would feel shielded by NATO, but it is doubtful that many European members of NATO would risk nuclear annihiliation by going to war with Russia in order to save Turkey from the consequences of such a reckless and irresponsible act as shooting down a Russian military aircraft and lying about it. Turkey has issued no apology and no believable explanation. Unless Erdogan has lost his mind, Washington is behind the shootdown, and the reason is Washington’s desperation to decode the new Russian technology that gives Russian forces total control over a battlefield, whether on land, sea, or air.   Continue reading “Why did Turkey shoot down a Russian Air Force jet?”

Republican presidential contenders split Sunday on a proposal to ban individuals on a terror watch list from buying guns, with front-runner Donald Trump backing the measure and Ben Carson opposing it.

The measure is being pushed by Democrats in the wake of the Paris attacks. It’s similar to a bill that George W. Bush’s Justice Department supported, but that never won approval due to opposition from gun rights groups.   Continue reading “Republicans split on guns for terror watch list members”

Just wanted to give you an update on the census worker nonsense I’m dealing with.

Two days ago I needed paperclips so I loaded up the American Bulldog and Boxer and off we went. As I was pulling up to park, one car over and to the left of me was a silver car that was backed in with a female inside. I thought it looked familiar so I looked down at the plates and noticed they were the plates of the dreaded census worker! I proceeded into the store and got my paperclips and looked for a no trespassing sign, (they didn’t have any).   Continue reading “Census Worker Harassment Update”

WASHINGTON — The House passed a bill Thursday to halt the admission of Syrian refugees into the U.S. until they undergo the toughest vetting process ever developed for people fleeing a war-torn nation.

The legislation, passed by a vote of 289-137, was rushed through in response to last week’s terrorist attacks in Paris. One of the terrorists is believed to have entered Europe through Greece with a group of Syrian refugees, sparking calls by congressional leaders to “pause” the flow of refugees into the U.S. from Syria and Iraq.   Continue reading “House passes bill to bar Syrian refugees from U.S. without more vetting”
