I thought perhaps it might be nice to look at something besides Trump and impeachment and Ukraine today. And so as a non-refreshing palate cleanser we have this: In 2014 California passed Proposition 47, which made theft of property valued … Continue reading →
This is what I conclude at this point. The Steele dossier was cooked up in order to get to the FISA court, which gave the FBI the permission to expand the spying on the Trump campaign and administration. It was … Continue reading →
The long-held definition of what constitutes a whistleblower seems to have been changed just in time for the hearsay/secondhand/gossip Ukainian phone call whistleblower to file his complaint.
