The permanent political class always says the same thing: just one more emergency power, just one more reauthorization, just one more secret tool for our protection. Then the exception becomes the system. FISA was sold as a shield against abuse and became a sword for the surveillance bureaucracy. Conservatives saw what happened to Trump. Civil libertarians saw what happened to activists and journalists. Ordinary Americans should understand what happens next if Congress keeps rubber-stamping this machinery. Warrantless backdoor searches of Americans must end. If the government wants your communications, get a warrant. The Constitution is not optional paperwork.
Until some former FISA prosecutors, and judges, are indicted, prosecuted, convicted and locked up, I will never again trust the legal system. Comey, McCabe and Boasberg are among the most corrupt people in the country!
IT IS TIME to effectively CHALLENGE BAD LEGISLATIVE HABITS.
WHY is there no litigation, civil or otherwise, that HAS A SNOWBALL'S CHANCE IN HELL of getting this egregious violation of our Constitution and its Bill of Rights BEFORE THE SUPREME COURT?
The outrages permitted under FISA amounts to a FOUNDATIONAL CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS.
This intrusive EXAMPLE OF INSTITUTIONAL CAPTURE and damaging mission creep -- is worse even than that of CURRENT Congressional practices of requiring a SUPERMAJORITY ( 60- 40 margin threshold) for cloture to HALT LIVE DEBATE which is NOT EVEN TAKING PLACE in the Senate chambers, a clear violation of the INTENT and LANGUAGE of the Framers of the US Constitution.
The Founding Fathers who struggled to write and pass a U S CONSTITUTION which would stand up THROUGHOUT the ages -- would not have ALLOWED a sitting US Vice President to cast A TIE-BREAKER VOTE to PASS LEGISLATION WITH A ONE VOTE MARGIN if their intention had been to REQUIRE A SUPER MAJORITY.
The public is tired, offended, and EXTRAORDINARILY frustrated by Senate leadership reverting to ( and talking about) a FAKE "silent filibuster" involving back channel machinations and concealed "vote counts" which seldom precisely reflect actual votes when Senators register their votes ( and reveal their party affiliations) upon responding to roll call -- especially when RECORDED ON CAMERA in the current electronic era.
THIS FAILURE TO OBSERVE THE CONSTITUTION ALSO needs to somehow , some way find its way to the US Supreme Court.
Meanwhile the public needs more education as to how a Republican majority can REPLACE ITS MAJORITY LEADER. Calls for such resolution are beginning to percolate up in the alternative media.
Is what is needed really ONLY a handful of Senators voting to revisit this appointment -- and A MINIMUM OF 27 GOP SENATORS VOTING TO INSTALL A NEW MAJORITY LEADER ? Could it be that these privileged figures are AFRAID OF EACH OTHER.
Does serving in the SENATE FOR MORE THAN ONE TERM BECOME A DISABILITY? Or an insurmountable liability ?
It seems that this is NOT a process requiring a majority of ALL Senators ( mirroring Congressional Representatives WHO ELECT the Speaker of the House) -- BUT A POLITICAL POSITION CONFERING EXTRAORDINARY CONTROL OVER AN ENTIRE BRANCH OF GOVERNMENT, whereby one individual elected by a state with a modest population, gets to REPEATEDLY THWART the will of ALL the people,..close down the government and stop federal paychecks,... and even ignore sentiments of the majority of constituents who elected Senators from this party.
MAYBE IT'S TIME FOR A CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT THAT SENDS ELECTION OF SENATORS BACK TO STATE LEGISLATURES... as the US Constitution originally provided ... rather than a process uniquely VULNERABLE to BIG MONEY AND BIG MEDIA MACHINATIONS funding campaigns beholden to special interests, billionaire PAC donor campaigns of
corporations and billionaires, and outdated political ideology. The political reasons for this change have been buried and excised from American history books.
Roger Stone PLEASE HELP OUT YOUR COUNTRY ON THESE ISSUES. Maybe write more articles,... provide Youtube shorts,...interview some constitutional scholars, get on some speaking tours ( admittedly not easy for conservatives) and throw together a new book. EVERYTHING about our way of life maybe hanging in the balance -- if legislation, minds, and hearts are not changed BY NOVEMBER.
We certainly don't need one GOP majority party leader hiding behind a the rulings of a longstanding parliamentarian with ties to the OPPOSITE party , which has PUBLUCLY pledged to OBSTRUCT an administration -- that swept into power with a
》 popular majority for President,...
》an Electoral college landside,...
》 majorities in all of the important swing states,...and
》 thin but seemingly decisive majorities in the House and Senate
-- WHICH WE, THE VOTERS, WERE LED TO BELIEVE was SUFFICIENT, IN TOTAL, for a CHANGE-AGENT ADMINISTRATION (that earned its influence in a historical party of 150+ year duration in the US TWO- PARTY system ) TO BE GIVEN ITS TURN TO GOVERN.
Registered Republicans, fiscal conservatives, social conservatives, MAGA movement voters, unffiliated voters -- and even classical liberals and conscientious Democrats who crossed party lines to vote -- and CAME TOGETHER under one big tent, to vote achieve a TOO-BIG-TO-RIG election in 2924 -- HAVE BEEN BADLY BETRAYED.
A "small-d" democratic majority of people in this country are TIRED OF LOSING EVEN WHEN THEY WIN.
Voters are NOT OBLIVIOUS to the reality that very few of this President's Executive Orders have been codified into law -- and can be easily reversed after the 2028 general election,... or that many of his judicial appointments have NOT been approved,...or that the captured Marxist media has FALSELY CONVINCED MANY VOTER (and potential but "unlikely" voters) that the successful DEMOCRAT efforts to shut down the US government ( and later key PARTS of the govt) WERE THE WORK OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.
All of THESE and other PAINFUL DISAPPOINTMENTS DISAPPOINTMENTS seem to be persisting DUE TO stubborn self-serving insistence by a few devious, control-freak individuals ON NEEDING SUPER MAJORITIES (and on sticking to passing budgets and other rules by Reconciliation instead of simple majority votes ) -- AND WHO WERE NOT OVERRIDDEN BY A REPUBLICAN MAJORITY.
We get one vote years apart , to give our legislators get HUNDREDS of votes -- and then they hog-tie each other until they can't get anything done, or pass legislation that is so compromised it results in devastatingly damaging UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES. This is not the 18th or 19th century. There's no time TO LET PERSONALITY CONFLICTS PLAY OUT.
THE USA NEEDS THE HELP OF ROGER STONE and anyone else reading this who truly understands the DANGERS of ALLOWING ANTI-CITIZEN, anti-majority MISSION CREEP to hand over the reins -- NOT TO ANY HOUSE OF CONGRESS sadly accustomed to delegating its authority and responsibilities,...BUT INSTEAD to unelected employees borrowed into the permanent administrative state.
Why aren't conservative think tanks addressing such key obstacles to reform, voter integrity, national authority, and prosperity? They seem even MORE TIMID than out federal legislators.
The citizens of this country -- whether they know it or not -- NEED VOLUNTEER STATESMAN who have the wherewithal to publicize, fund, or provide credible legal advice to TURN AROUND DUBIOUS PRACTICES that simply amount TO BAD LEGISLATIVE HABITS.
We can't be waiting on unimaginably busy mutli-billionaires trying to "keep a dozen plates in the air." There's no more time to wait and see. We've seen this movie before, AND people who have no idea how the nuts and bolts fit together, no appetite for learning how the sausage is made, ARE GETTING DANGEROUSLY TIRED OF RERUNS.
It's not just civil war to be afraid of. China is struggling under a disappointed culture of highly educated youth "lying flat".
Unemployed, and underemployed Europeans are drowning in suicidal empathy for people whose lot seems momentarily even worse than their own,...and are handing over their jobs, birthright, and historic culture to tides of immigrants who don't respect them and reject assimilation -- a motivated faction of whom subscribe to cultural, physical, and population dominance.
Large groups who heard the siren song of Marxism in the colleges and university that promised them lucrative careers KEEP ANNOUNCING THAT THEY ARE CONTEMPLATING UPENDING the political, social, and economic SYSTEMS upon which we all RELY -- without offering comparabke replacement systems, or anything but psychologically-appealing BASELESS EXPERIMENTS, often idealistically utopian in vision, and ENTIRELY impractical AND UNFAIR, once attempted.
It's no wonder the globalist elites seem to have decided that HUMANS are NOT equipped to govern themselves, and that peaceful existence at every level of society REQUIRES 24/7 optical and digital surveillance, combined with ruthless behavioral modification designed around scalable low-cost inducements of convenience, immediacy, and instant gratification ( mostly geared at entertainment and diversion) ... as well as the constraints of multiple forms of deprivation of mobility, of free choice, of income earning ability, of independence of thought and decision making, of free speech and free listening, and of the many related liberties AMERICANS (and people in other already damaged "open" societies) PREVIOUSLY ENJOYED.
THIS IS NOT A PREDICTION OR A WARNING. We're already going down for the count...and strong people need to stand up.
I have edited the submission above multiple times but Google's large language model , which often relies on the frequency of words used in any communications, often changes words which I type or dictate , including after my proofreading and corrections.
I'm not going to offer corrections here. It's not impossible to use context to to guess which words I meant. Before using devices that keep replacing words and before listening to AI mispronounce words as simple as "read, wind, and live", my spelling was much better than it is now , but even spelling correctly does not protect me from electronic revisions which sabotage my efforts to communicate and make me look more ignorant than I may actually be.
I also might be subjected to having a special algo attached to my typing and speech, that specializes in misunderstanding or picking out a character adjacent to the one eye pressed on my keyboard. iDK.
It's a burden I accept for the opportunity to communicate to however few people may actually read what I have writINK. It takes much less time to read something lengthy than it took me to write and enter it. The effort is costly to me in many ways, but I do what I can to challenge groupthink that I find observably harmful to public discourse, such as it is.
We all need to do what we can with what we've got.
Yup. Search Strok and Page. It tells you all you need to know. The burden of evidence needed for a FISA warrant is less than a typical search warrant issued by a county judge.
I know there were some Senators who publicly proclaimed that if President Trump kept Bill Pulte as the nominee for DNI, they would allow the FISA Section 702 to expire without re-authorization. I wish President Trump would have pushed them to the brink and kept Pulte's nomination active until after that expiration. Unfortunately, it didn't happen that way.
1) Same issue with now requiring current or previous spouse on passport application. 100% illegal, can't be enforced, but builds a database for sale to META and Bibi Netanyahu, and others. Also, allows for backdoor searches in breach of 4th Amendment, functioning as a writ of assistance.
2) Although the original idea sounded good, as Roger asserts, it is catching people like Trump in cahoots with foreign adversary Bibi Netanyahu and other Zionist criminals. Trump doesn't want this used against him or any member of his staff or executive branch that are subverting EU, Middle-East, or USA for the greater glory of Israel.
