Republicans hope to release 'jaw-dropping' memo on surveillance abuses
House Republicans are hopeful that a four-page memo allegedly containing "jaw-dropping" revelations about U.S. government surveillance abuses will soon be made public.
Rep. Dave Joyce, a Republican from Ohio, told Fox News on Monday that the intelligence committee plans to work on releasing the document but warned that once Americans see it, they’ll “be surprised how bad it is.”
The process of releasing the memo could take up to 19 congressional working days which puts its release around mid-March. The document’s release would first need approval from House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, R-Calif., who can decide to bring the committee back together for a vote. If the majority of the committee votes to release the memo, it would then be up to President Trump.
If he says yes, the memo can be released.
Joyce said he’s personally read the memo twice and “it was deeply disturbing as anyone who’s been in law enforcement and any American will find out once they have the opportunity to review it."
Joyce and a handful of other conservatives have been pushing for the memo to be made public. They have suggested that it contains damning evidence the Obama administration used FISA (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act) warrants to spy on the Trump campaign as well as his transition team ahead of the president’s swearing-in.
A FISA warrant allows U.S. spy agencies to collect information on foreigners outside the country and was reauthorized by Congress earlier this month.
Obama officials have strongly denied the claims.
Democratic lawmakers argue the Republican uproar over the memo is a last-ditch attempt by conservatives to discredit the Russia investigation and cast doubt on the people who are running it.
California Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff has called the memo “a profoundly misleading set of talking points drafted by Republican staff attacking the FBI and its handling of the investigation.”
He said it’s riddled with factual inaccuracies and said it gives a “distorted view of the FBI.”
But Joyce has hinted that the memo was so scandalous that “termination would be the least of these people’s worries” and suggested that some of the people involved might even be “prosecuted.”
The report was spearheaded by Nunes.
Over the weekend, Nunes met with Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., and House Oversight Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., to discuss the possibility of releasing some of the information from the classified document.
Calls from Republicans to release the memo have been intensifying in recent days.
Florida Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz, who has called the memo “jaw-dropping,” is demanding “full transparency.”
“The House must immediately make public the memo prepared by the Intelligence Committee regarding the FBI and the Department of Justice,” Gaetz said.

'New California' movement seeks to divide the Golden State in half
Two men have launched a campaign to divide rural California from the coastal cities, motivated by what they referred to as a “tyrannical form of government” that doesn’t follow the U.S. Constitution or the state one, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.
Unlike the failed 2016 campaign to split California into six states, the “New California” movement, founded by Robert Paul Preston and Tom Reed, seeks to consolidate rural California into a distinct economy separate from the coast.
After years of over taxation, regulation, and mono party politics the State of California and many of its 58 Counties have become ungovernable," the movement declares on its website.
Preston and Reed say the citizens of the state live “under a tyrannical form of government that does not follow" constitutional requirements.
"There's something wrong when you have a rural county such as this one, and you go down to Orange County which is mostly urban, and it has the same set of problems, and it happens because of how the state is being governed and taxed," Preston told CBS Sacramento.
The "founders" have evoked Article IV Section 3 of the U.S. Constitution as justification for establishing a new economy with a new state constitution.
It states that a consensus must be reached by the state legislatures of California as well as Congress. The process, according to New California representatives, could take 10 to 18 months.
The New California movement unveiled a “Declaration of Independence,” earlier this week that called for a “free and Independent State” with “full power to establish and maintain law and order, to promote general prosperity.”

Rosie O'Donnell (actrice, animatrice d'une emission de l'apres-midi dans les annees 90 - sauf erreur de ma part - et activiste du mouvenement gay) n'a pas une importance ni une intelligence remarquables mais elle s'est se faire entendre. Comme tout le monde, elle a droit a son opinion; ce qui est bien dommage en revanche, c'est que toute personne n'ayant pas la sienne, n'a qu'une chose a faire: se taire ou risquer les insultes, les menaces, et meme la malediction!
Rosie O'Donnell says Sarah Huckabee Sanders will 'sit in hell' in Twitter rant
By Morgan M. Evans | Fox News
Rosie O’Donnell claimed Sarah Huckabee Sanders will “sit in hell” during a political Twitter rant, which all stemmed from a tweet by MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace.
On Monday morning, Wallace took to Twitter to weigh in on the White House’s morning press briefing.
The MSNBC host tweeted, “It’s actually time for someone to sit SHS down and say ‘yes, you have a tough job, yes, you are smoother than Spicer and more stable than Mooch, but if you ever use your taxpayer funded job again to denigrate the Intelligence of a reporter or a sitting US Senator, you’re fired.'”
A day later, O’Donnell replied to Wallace’s initial tweet.
“[And] who on trumps team would ever consider doing that - she is doing exactly what he wants - and she will sit in hell - no doubt”
O’Donnell also took to Twitter to discuss politics with other users who were tweeting about President Trump.
On the same day, Daniel Dale, Washington correspondent for the Toronto Star, tweeted about the Trump administration’s health care policy, to which O’Donnell replied, “Trump is the darkness itself."
O’Donnell’s Tuesday Twitter comments about Sanders came a day after the star lashed out against CNN’s Chris Cuomo for his interview with White House adviser Kellyanne Conway.
O’Donnell took to Twitter to criticize the host, saying that he should not be promoting Conway on the air or continuing to book “liars.”
“Chris - spare us ur journalistic heroics - she lies Chris - u put her on - and u act stunned - indignant - YOU KNOW SHE LIES - WE KNOW SHE LIES - STOP TALKING TO HER CHRIS - u r no ones hero captain obvious - YOU ARE THE GATEKEEPERS CUOMO!!!! DO UR JOB DAMN IT #DONTBOOKLIARS,” she wrote.

!! Je me demande si Al sera invite l'annee prochaine! At Davos, Gore defends Trump solar tariff: report
For Democrats, it may be another inconvenient truth.
Former Vice President Al Gore, at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, defended President Donald Trump’s recent decision to impose tariffs on solar cells and modules.
“I don’t typically defend him,” Gore acknowledged at a panel discussion, the Daily Caller reported.
On Tuesday, Trump signed into law a bill that calls for a 30 percent tariff on imported solar panels. The president defended the move as a way to defend American jobs, but the solar industry said it could result in thousands of layoffs and higher prices, Reuters reported.
But Gore noted that Chinese-made solar panels were having a negative impact on the market.
“The large subsidies from China for exporting solar panels has (sic) put some other companies in the world out of business,” Gore said, according to the Daily Caller.
Since losing the 2000 presidential election to George W. Bush, Gore has made environmental issues the focal point of his career, as epitomized by his Oscar-winning 2006 documentary “An Inconvenient Truth.”
That film’s 2017 sequel hasn’t fared as well, however. “An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power” failed to gain a single nomination when Oscar contenders were announced this week.

John Kerry reportedly coaches Palestinians not to 'yield' to Trump in peace talks, spurring backlash
Former Secretary of State John Kerry reportedly tried to meddle in Middle East peace talks, allegedly telling a close associate of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas not to “yield to President Trump’s demands.”
Israeli news outlet Maariv reported on the apparent meeting between Kerry and Hussein Agha in London, where the 2004 Democratic presidential nominee also reportedly floated a possible encore bid in 2020.
But in the conversation, Kerry reportedly told Agha to share a message with Abbas – urging him to “hold on and be strong” during talks with the Trump administration and “play for time ... [and] not yield to President Trump’s demands.”
Kerry, who served as former President Barack Obama’s secretary of state during his second term, also reportedly told Agha that Trump would not be in office for long, suggesting he could be out in a year.
According to the report, Kerry used derogatory terms when referring to Trump, and offered to help the Palestinians create an alternative peace initiative. He reportedly asked Abbas not to attack the U.S. or the Trump administration, but rather focus attacks on the president himself.
One prominent Trump ally, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, voiced disbelief at the reported comments on Thursday.
“Kerry knows as a former secretary of state, a former U.S. senator, that kind of advice would be stunningly unpatriotic, and I don’t think John Kerry would do something like that,” Gingrich told "Fox & Friends." “I hope he wouldn’t. I would be very, very surprised if a former secretary of state, a former U.S. senator would have said anything that was that overtly anti-American.”
The White House did not immediately respond to Fox News’ request for comment on Kerry’s alleged remarks.
The State Department told Fox News they would decline to comment.
Kerry’s meeting with Palestinian Authority representatives comes just one month after the Trump administration decided, after years of U.S. promises, to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

DOJ recovers missing text messages between anti-Trump FBI agents Strzok and Page
The Department of Justice has recovered missing text messages between anti-Trump FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, the DOJ’s inspector general said Thursday.
...
“Our effort to recover any additional text messages is ongoing,” Horowitz said. “We will provide copies of the text messages that we recover from these devices to the Department so that the Department’s leadership can take any management action it deems appropriate.”
...
The missing messages have been at the center of a storm of controversy on Capitol Hill, after the DOJ notified congressional committees that there is a gap in records between Dec. 14, 2016, and May 17, 2017. Strzok and Page are under scrutiny after it was revealed that the former members of Robert Mueller's team exchanged a series of anti-Trump texts during the presidential campaign.
The gap in records covered a crucial period, raising suspicion among GOP lawmakers about how those messages disappeared.
Republicans, arguing some top officials at the FBI are politically biased against Trump, have seized on the texts.
In one text exchange, Strzok and Page spoke of a “secret society” within the Department of Justice and the FBI the day after Trump's victory, according to two lawmakers with knowledge of the messages.
“We learned today about information that in the immediate aftermath of [Trump’s] election, that there may have been a secret society of folks within the Department of Justice and the FBI -- to include Page and Strzok -- that would be working against him,” Rep. John Ratcliffe, R-Texas said Monday on Fox News.
In another infamous message, Strzok appeared to make reference to an “insurance policy” against a Trump win.
“I want to believe the path you threw out for consideration in Andy’s office — that there’s no way he gets elected — but I’m afraid we can’t take that risk. It’s like an insurance policy in the unlikely event you die before you’re 40…” he wrote.

The new California Movement est un parti, enfin non plutot une petite organisation marginale, conservatrice qui represente quelques comtes ruraux deja conservateurs eux memes. Il veulent s'affranchir de la "tyrannie" de l'etat de Californie...
Il ya deja eu plusieurs propositions, la derniere en date etant le Calexit. Entre autres, pour redessiner les frontieres des comtes pour des raisons politiques. C'est tres a la mode chez les republicains pour des raisons electorales surtout.
La Californie si elle etait un pays, serait la 6e economie mondiale, rien que ca. Son PIB es de $2.44 Milliards, celui de la France de $2.42 et 6 millions de travailleurs en moins pour ce resultat. Elle reste cependant un etat ou la vie est chere et qui possede l'un des plus grands poucentages de pauvrete du pays.
Avant cela il ya eu le Texas $1.58 milliards de PIB, qui selon les moments et les humeurs voudrait une secession complete des US ou alors la creation en son sein de plusieurs petits etats.
Et Porto Rico qui n'a pas reussi a faire aboutir son initiative de devenir le 51 etat. Pas assez de signatures alors qu'ils ont tous les avantages ou presque de ce que les US peuvent fournir et qu'ils ont la nationalite Americaine.
Tout cela risque peu de se produire a mon avis.

Non, La aussi une correction s'impose. On peut obtenir un permis de conduire sans etre citoyen ou meme sans etre un resident permanent. Si vous etes de ceux qui possedent une 2e residence aux US, vous pouvez ovbtenir un permis renouvelable d'annee en annee je crois, ensuite 5 ans si vous possedez une carte verte.
Par contre pour obtenir une voter card, il FAUT la preuve de votre citoyennete, cad un passeport ou tout autre forme prouvant que vous etes citoyen US Apres, pour vous rendre au bureau de vote, il est vrai qu'un permis de conduire suffit mais si vous n'etes pas enregistre dans le bureau en tant que citoyen, vous pouvez faire demi tour. C'es la dessus que jouent les mensonges.
WorldNetDaily seems to have been the first to report this, with the headline: “California to register illegal aliens to vote – automatically.” Other outlets like Townhall and Fox News lent credence to the idea. In a story shared 23,000 times,another outlet (truth uncensored) went to far as to assert that illegal immigrants would be specifically registered as Democrats. Accordingly, the narrative went viral.
If true, it would be astonishing news that would strongly reinforce the idea some seem to have that liberal California puts illegal immigrants first and is willing to violate federal law to give Democrats the upper hand.
Fortunately, the story as presented is not true. The idea that California is going to automatically register illegal immigrants to vote is at best a poorly researched spin on what reality is, at worst it’s literally fake news.
Tellingly, the Fox News story on the matter changed its headline from the clickbait of “New California policy opens door to illegal immigrant voting” to the far less interesting “California to auto-register drivers to vote, sparking fraud concerns.” And even the outlet which initially claimed illegal immigrants would be registered as Democrats admitted that part was made up.
The truth is actually mostly bland and uninteresting.
In 2015, Gov. Jerry Brown signed into law the California New Motor Voter Act, which instructs the Department of Motor Vehicles to electronically transmit the information of eligible voters to the California Secretary of State when they apply for or renew their driver’s licenses, unless they opt-out.
From there, the Secretary of State will add eligible voters to the voter rolls after verifying the information. Illegal immigrants, who can obtain a special driver’s license, are, by law, not eligible to vote and their information won’t be automatically transmitted to the Secretary of State.
That’s it.
While one could make an argument against automatic registration or illegal immigrants being able to obtain a driver’s license, the idea that California is going to automatically register illegal immigrants to vote just isn’t true.
There are plenty of things to attack, condemn, criticize and critique California state government for. High taxes, onerous regulations, nanny statism, underperforming public schools, pension crowd-out and a litany of other issues are and should be fair game for debate and discussion.
Unfortunately, there is a segment on the right that is all too eager to eat up any and every claim which makes California out to be an awful place, regardless of whether or not those claims are true. Perhaps if those on the right were less distracted by nonsense like this, they could mount a credible challenge on things that matter.

Vous avez totalement raison, Kalawasa dans le sens ou un permis de conduire est "offert" aux illegaux en Californie afin de leur permettre de travailler et de vivre une vie normale.
Maintenant le permis de conduire etant suffisant pour voter, il devient aussi important qu'un certificat de citoyennete puisque la presentation de ce dernier n'est pas obligatoire.
J'ajoute que si je me rends toujours au bureau de vote avec ma carte d'electrice et mon permis de conduire, ma carte n'est jamais verifiee.
Quant a l'inscription sur les listes electorales, elle ne se fait pas qu'au bureau du DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles), parfois des associations lancent des journees speciale inscription (comme le fit ACORN en son temps).
Apres relecture je reposte ceci de chez (FOX News):
Others argue voter fraud concerns are overblown. Kathay Feng, executive director of California Common Cause, or CCC, a nonpartisan voting rights advocacy group, expressed confidence the new registration process would not open the door to widespread fraud.
“There’s a real interest [by all parties] in making sure that there are clear signals when people are filling out a DMV form,” Feng told Fox News. “They’re asked if they’re 18, if they’re U.S. citizens. They don’t move on to the voter registration if they’re not eligible.”
Ca l'article qui nous est propose ne le nie pas:
While one could make an argument against automatic registration or illegal immigrants being able to obtain a driver’s license, the idea that California is going to automatically register illegal immigrants to vote just isn’t true.
Il dit seulement que la Californie n'enregistrera pas les illegaux automatiquement! Qui joue sur les mots la?
Ou est-il question du Certificat de Citoyennete? (je me souviens tres bien avoir du apporter le mien avec mon passeport lors du transfert de mon Permis de Conduire de l'Etat de Californie a l'Etat du Texas).
Donc, sciemment ou non, le demandeur de permis peut cocher la case: citoyen, et voila il sera inscrit sur les listes electorales.
Mais bon: Unfortunately, there is a segment on the right that is all too eager to eat up any and every claim which makes California out to be an awful place, regardless of whether or not those claims are true. Perhaps if those on the right were less distracted by nonsense like this, they could mount a credible challenge on things that matter.
J'adore! "nonsense like this!" (qu'ils sont nouille alors ces gens de la droite, quand meme!)

C'est surprenant de voir l'aggression, la mechancete et la hargne avec laquelle certaines personnes se sentent obligees de s'exprimer envers un(e) participant(e) tout simplement parce que de facon generale, il ou elle ne partage pas leurs idees. So sad...
Vous avez totalement raison, Kalawasa dans le sens ou un permis de conduire est "offert" aux illegaux en Californie afin de leur permettre de travailler et de vivre une vie normale.
Maintenant le permis de conduire etant suffisant pour voter, il devient aussi important qu'un certificat de citoyennete puisque la presentation de ce dernier n'est pas obligatoire.
J'ajoute que si je me rends toujours au bureau de vote avec ma carte d'electrice et mon permis de conduire, ma carte n'est jamais verifiee.
Quant a l'inscription sur les listes electorales, elle ne se fait pas qu'au bureau du DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles), parfois des associations lancent des journees speciale inscription (comme le fit ACORN en son temps).

Voir ce qui se passe dans les universities americaines ou tant d'etudiants ne supportent absolument pas les idees de la droite. Leur reaction est parfois violente et parfois incongrue.
Hier soir, Ben Shapiro (pas exactement un excite conservative) est venu parler devant une audience. L'ecole s'est crue obligee de limiter le public et de proposer un soutien psychologique pour ceux que la seule presence de Shapiro avait derange!! (sur la video, on peut voir la vitesse a laquelle, un representant de l'Universite interrompt la reponse d'une etudiante!!)
On pourrait en rire si on n'avait pas envie d'en pleurer.

Bonjour Sylvette,
Je m'adresse a vous directement, je prefere cela aux sous entendus comme ci dessus.
Si apporter des complements d'information ou meme une contradiction a certains posts (qu'ils soient pro ou anti "idees") signifie etre aggressif, mechant ou hargneux (???) et bien prenez le comme vous voudrez, c'est dommage, mais ca ne me gene pas le moins du monde.
Ou alors, vos posts puisqu'ils ne sont pas alignes sur mes "idees" seraient une aggression, mechancete et hargne?
Sur ce je vous souhaite une excellente journee, ou nuit, ou meme les deux.

Sur le vote aux US encore et pour finir : On peut effectivement se presenter au bureau de vote avec son permis de conduire ou un passeport. Et voter sans se voir demander sa carte d'electeur, MAIS pour autant que vous soyez enregistre en tant que votant (On peut s'enregistrer a l'avance ou le jour des elections avec une preuve de citoyennete). Il ya des database dans les bureaux de vote et si vous n'etes pas inscrit en tant que votant ou que vous n'avez pas mis votre carte d'electeur a jour, vous ne voterez pas. La seule rare instance ou une erreur peut arriver c'est lorsqu'il ya usurpation d'identite.
Je n'ai pas pu voter dans les primaires parce que je suis inscrite comme independante. Ils l'ont tout de suite vu sur leur fichiers alors imaginez donc si je n'etais pas enregistree en tant qu'electeur-trice.
Je crois, si je ne me trompe pas qu'il n'y a que le Dakota du Nord ou se faitre enregistrer en tant que votant n'est pas obligatoire.

C'est très amusant. Il est indiscutable que la dame blonde a de magnifiques jambes et qu'elle pousse la coquetterie à les montrer à la fois pliées et droites. Normalement ce genre d'erreurs de stagiaire commis à la retouche photographique fait dire qu'il n'y a pas de quoi casser trois pattes à un canard, mais alors la dame n'aurait plus de cannes...
Nous savions que la plantureuse dame en noir avait le bras long, mais de là à la soupçonner d'user de trois mains il y a de la marge !
A moins que tout ce beau monde ait abusé des OGM et non de PS?
