Makin' Nixon look like an amature?-----The story so far | Power Line

The story so far | Power Line:
"In the run-up to the election Louise Mensch and others broke the story that the Obama Justice Department and federal law enforcement authorities had obtained a Trump-related FISA warrant in October following the denial of an earlier FISA warrant request the previous June. 
On its way out the door the Obama administration trashed the “minimization” procedures protecting the privacy of American citizens caught in the FISA net. 
Andrew McCarthy raised a red flag in the troubling NRO column “FISA and the Trump team.” 
Earlier this week the New York Times reported the involvement of Obama administration officials in disseminating the information obtained along the way.

Breibart has posted a useful timeline with links, as has the Conservative Tree House site. 

In his NRO column today, Andrew McCarthy provides this summary of events to date as part of his inquiry into the “recusal” of Attorney General Sessions from something or other this week. 

Here is an excerpt:

"While the commentariat was rending its garments over the mere prospect that Trump might have his political adversary, Hillary Clinton, investigated if he won the election, Obama was actually having Trump investigated.

To rehearse briefly, in the weeks prior to June 2016, the FBI did a preliminary investigation, apparently based on concerns about a server at Trump Tower that allegedly had some connection to Russian financial institutions. 
Even if there were such a connection, it is not a crime to do business with Russian banks — lots of Americans do. 
It should come as no surprise, then, that the FBI found no impropriety and did not proceed with a criminal investigation.

What is surprising, though, is that the case was not closed down..."

Obama confidante Valerie Jarrett moves in to Kaloroma home | Daily Mail Online

Obama confidante Valerie Jarrett moves in to Kaloroma home | Daily Mail Online:

"Barack Obama is turning his new home in the posh Kalorama section of the nation's capital - just two miles away from the White House - into the nerve center of the mounting insurgency against his successor, President Donald J. Trump.

Obama's goal, according to a close family friend, is to oust Trump from the presidency either by forcing his resignation or through his impeachment.

And Obama is being aided in his political crusade by his longtime consigliere, Valerie Jarrett, who has moved into the 8,200-square-foot, $5.3-million Kaloroma mansion with  the former president and Michelle Obama, long time best friends."

Quarter Million Liberals Sign Petition to Fire Dem. Senator After Hugging Trump | The Sean Hannity Show

Quarter Million Liberals Sign Petition to Fire Dem. Senator After Hugging Trump | The Sean Hannity Show:

"His bipartisan approach was on display Tuesday evening, where Manchin was the LONE democrat to stand when Trump called on Congress and the American people to ‘make America great again’. His thoughts on the President's speech:

"For someone just to recognize that these people have worked their butts off and given this country the energy for making us the greatest country on Earth, I was so appreciative of that,” he told a local West Virginian news agency.

As the President left the Joint Session of Congress, he stopped to embrace Senator Manchin in a moment of friendship: a treasonable offense to liberal democrats."

What Makes America's New Ford-Class Aircraft Carrier Truly Dangerous

What Makes America's New Ford-Class Aircraft Carrier Truly Dangerous | The National Interest Blog:
"...Slated for springtime delivery, the aircraft carrier CVN 78 Gerald Ford has sparked much interest in its technological breakthroughs for launching and recovering aircraft – as well as new systems to cut down on the number of sailors that run the ship and run up the costs of operating the vessel.
But some of the most important mechanic advancements are deep inside the ship – part of the revamped elevator system used to carry bombs, missiles and other aircraft-loaded equipment from the Ford’s bowels to the vessel’s higher decks.
...Shipbuilders wired the elevator up for more electricity using linear motors, replacing the rope-and-wheel systems that required a great deal more manpower to operate and maintain.
With the new system, shipbuilders say, the elevators can carry two times the weight as the previous system, covering the distance in about third the time.
Increasing the carrying power and cutting the operating speed were key in providing the Ford with the quicker sortie rate that has been one of the ships selling points.
Getting aircraft on and off the ship at a faster clip means little if the aerial platforms are not properly armed or loaded.
Early success with the new elevator system prompted Newport News to start developing a totally electric elevator system..."

Police union boss says cops want to help feds with deportations - NY Daily News

Police union boss says cops want to help feds with deportations - NY Daily News:

""Make no mistake about it, the members of law enforcement in the NYPD want to cooperate with ICE. I speak to cops every day -- they want to cooperate with ICE, they want to work with fellow law enforcement agents," he said.

"There is a moral obligation, and as the chief law enforcement officer of the city, you yourself have to be able to follow the direction of law. We don't get to participate in the laws that we want," Mullins said. "That's total lunacy."

The city's pro-immigrant policies have made it one of the "sanctuary cities" targeted by Trump, who has threatened to withdraw federal funding."

"White Privilege" causing 2+2=5?----- ANOTHER BREAKTHROUGH IN FEMINIST MATHEMATICS

Instapundit » Blog Archive » ANOTHER BREAKTHROUGH IN FEMINIST MATHEMATICS:
"ANOTHER BREAKTHROUGH IN FEMINIST MATHEMATICS:

In much the same way that feminist education scholars have shown, via discourse analysis, the incompatibility between femininity and mathematical achievement, both Walker and Stinson show the complex ways successful black mathematics students must accommodate, reconfigure or resist the discursive construction of a normative white, masculine mathematical subjectivity.

When you don’t actually understand math, but white males do, it’s easy to think that the problem is “white, masculine mathematical subjectivity,” and much more rewarding to write about it than simply to say “math is hard,” which is the truth."

Amreica's "Brown Shirts"-----More Campus Violence: Where Are The Cops?

More Campus Violence: Where Are The Cops? | Power Line:
"A shocking incident at Middlebury, where left-wing students assaulted and injured a professor

Middlebury College Professor Allison Stanger was injured by protesters Thursday evening as she was escorting a controversial speaker from campus. She was treated at Porter Hospital and released.

...As Stanger, Murray and a college administrator left McCullough Student Center last evening following the event, they were “physically and violently confronted by a group of protestors,” according to Bill Burger, the college’s vice president for communications and marketing.

That is a remarkably blunt admission by the colleges vice president for marketing! 
Often colleges try to hush this sort of thing up.

Burger said college public safety officers managed to get Stanger and Murray into the administrator’s car.

“The protestors then violently set upon the car, rocking it, pounding on it, jumping on and try to prevent it from leaving campus,” he said. “At one point a large traffic sign was thrown in front of the car. Public Safety officers were able, finally, to clear the way to allow the vehicle to leave campus.

There is no mention of any arrests being made.

“During this confrontation outside McCullough, one of the demonstrators pulled Prof. Stanger’s hair and twisted her neck,” Burger continued. “She was attended to at Porter Hospital later and (on Friday) is wearing a neck brace.”

These people need to be jailed. For a considerable time. Why would any parent even consider sending a son or daughter to Middlebury?

The article concludes with what appears to be a justification of the leftists’ criminal acts–a quote from a long-discredited hate group:

The Southern Poverty Law Center has called Murray a “white nationalist” who has used “racist pseudoscience.”

That is idiotic, but a fitting conclusion to a disgusting story. Via InstaPundit.

Sen. McCaskill Caught Lying Over Meeting With Russian Ambassador | The Sean Hannity Show

Sen. McCaskill Caught Lying Over Meeting With Russian Ambassador | The Sean Hannity Show:

"Democrat Senator Claire McCaskill has been caught lying over meetings with the Russian ambassador to the United States. Her conflicting tweets expose the liberal deception taking place over Attorney General Sessions and his 'ties' with Moscow.

The Senator took to Twitter Thursday and insisted that she's been on the Armed Services Committee for over a decade and has never called or met the Russian Ambassador."

Taxpayer supported "education"?-----Microaggressions Bystander Training

Microaggressions Bystander Training -- University of Illinois Obnoxious Class | National Review
"...Illinois State University is now offering a “bystander training program on microaggressions” — ...The purpose of the program is, according to an announcement released last year, is for people to “be aware of microaggressions and be prepared to intervene” with phrases like “‘What do you mean by that?’ or ‘What you are saying or doing is offensive.’” 
The school is currently preparing for its rollout later this academic year, according to an article in The College Fix. 
Look: It’s one thing to intervene on behalf of yourself if someone has said something that offends you. 
It’s completely another thing to feel like you need to intervene on behalf of someone else, especially when you have no idea whether or not that person is actually bothered. 
First of all, it’s patronizing. 
For example: Language campaigns at various schools — the University of California–Davis, Macalester College, and the University of North Carolina–Chapel Hill, to name a few — have identified “you guys” as being a microaggression on the grounds that it generalizes all people as men which is offensive to women. 
...But training a group of college kids to think they will be heroes for intervening in private conversations because they’re just, like, so much more socially aware than the rest of us sounds like a great way to create a bunch of socially obnoxious monsters.
Second of all, it’s annoying..."
