[It pained me to read that legal analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano was suspended by Fox News, and I hope that he will soon be reinstated. But I take heart that FN is an outlet that allows its senior correspondents to air items they consider important and true, and then hold them responsible for any subsequent mistakes. To me this makes FN a more credible, comprehensive, and, yes, more balanced broadcaster when its reporters (consider Chris Wallace and Shepard Smith) and talking heads don’t have to get an OK from some lockstep editorial board in the head shed before going on the air. gjr]

Brad at 4:52: So why are folks in that area still getting govt handouts for not working? Is Brad going to claim picking grapes is such technically hard work that skilled foreigners are needed? Hard to find low skilled workers when your tax dollars are taken from you at gun point to pay folks a better living to not work for you.
Let’s face it, sitting on your rear end and swilling beer all day is way too easy in this country. Why work when freebies go to the idle?
The solution is to make able bodied folk get to work. It’s not a kindness to anyone to continue the current system.

What did 0 know and when did he know it? Did 0 junk the intel rules on the way out the door before or after they had the transition team under surveillance? If they started the surveillance before the change and made the change so they could send it to everyone its a crime. That’s above and beyond the multiple felony counts related to unmasking US citizens and giving it to all 0’s buddies.
Who approved the unmasking, who disseminated and who submitted the FISA request and why? We already know that 0 approved the dissemination already.

Po’ ol’ party parrot PE is whistling past the graveyard. It was the 0 administration which stated surveillance right after the win. No dispute on that issue. It was 0 who personally changed decades old intel protocols that would allow his team to widely disseminate the wire taps, understanding you no longer have to affix a physical device to do phone call recordings.
The small handful of very senior people who could have unmasked US citizens names all reported directly to 0.

I am not propping up anyone, just looking for the truth. And the truth is that a Democratic administration was monitoring Trump and others, and it was members of the Obama administration that launched the spying in July and continued after the election. The real crime is the release of the information to the public when the FISA regulation required any intercept of an American be masked. Someone in the Obama administration released the information. If some on in the Trump administration had done it, you would blame Trump, so using lefty logic Obama was ultimately responsible for the release of sensitive information that should never have been released to the public. Slice it any way you like but the bottom line is Obama was responsible, it was his gang that committed the crime.

My guess is that in a world of two sides, you have to pick one or the other. Purists stand alone.
A tolerable article:
http://charleshughsmith.blogspot.com/2017/03/the-divided-deep-state-is-symptom-not.html
I like this paragraph:
“The divided Deep State is a symptom of this larger systemic political disunity. I have characterized the divide as between the Wall Street-Neocon-Globalist Neoliberal camp–currently the dominant public face of the Deep State, the one desperately attempting to exploit the “Russia hacked our elections and is trying to destroy us” narrative–and a much less public, less organized “rogue Progressive” camp, largely based in the military services and fringes of the Deep State, that sees the dangers of a runaway expansionist Empire and the resulting decay of the nation’s moral/political center.”

And stop all the mandates to insurers. Let free enterprise work and it will if they would just leave it alone. So we may see a bloodbath or a kumbaya. Who knows. Update tomorrow. Good luck R’s!
