FAKE NEWS or FARKAS NEWS?

This story is just breaking within the past day or so... and so far, the so-called mainstream media has ignored it. News that does not fit their agenda has a way of being buried. I am not sure that I completely understand what the Farkas is going on here... but just in case this story starts to spawn legs... you might remember, that you heard about it (through Sean Hannity) here first. 




.
as reported by Sean Hannity....
President Trump was ridiculed by the alt-left, propaganda, destroy-Trump media when he said on Twitter that members of his transition team had been wiretapped by the Obama administration. But a damning video clip from just days before Trump’s tweet appears to vindicate the commander in chief. In a March 2 MSNBC interview, former Obama administration official Evelyn Farkas pretty much admitted that there was an all-out effort to gather and leak as much “intel” on Trump as possible ahead of the transition to Trump. Farkas served in the Obama administration from 2012 through 2015 as the deputy assistant secretary of defense for Russia, Ukraine and Eurasia. “I was urging my former colleagues, and frankly speaking, the people on the Hill -- it was more actually aimed at telling the Hill people,” Farkas said. "’Get as much information as you can, get as much intelligence as you can before President Obama leaves the administration,’ because I had a fear that, somehow, that information would disappear with the senior people who left.”

In an admission that went unnoticed, partly because it came prior to Trump’s tweet and largely because it was made on MSNBC, Farkas continued. “So it would be hidden away in the bureaucracy that the Trump folks, if they found out how we knew what we knew about their -- the staff, the Trump staff's dealing with Russians, that they would try to compromise those sources and methods, meaning we would no longer have access to that intelligence,” she said. “So I became very worried because not enough was coming out into the open, and I knew that there was more. We have very good intelligence on Russia. So then I had talked to some of my former colleagues, and I knew that they were trying to also help get information to the Hill." This is very, very important. Farkas is admitting surveillance of Trump and his associates took place. She is admitting intelligence leaking took place. Surveillance, unmasking of Americans swept up in foreign spying and intelligence leaking are all acknowledged on the video. For weeks, I have been asking who from the Obama administration knew what and when did they know it? Now we learn that Evelyn Farkas, a relatively low-ranking Obama administration official, knew about all this surveillance. She couldn’t have been alone. On my television and radio programs, I have highlighted the fine reporting on this story by Sara Carter and John Solomon of Circa News. They uncovered the existence of an FBI investigation into a server that was being utilized by Trump Tower, which is where Trump’s campaign headquarters was located. They also discovered a warrant issued by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act court that allowed federal officials to capture Trump team communications. This took place before the president took office. Now, a newly unearthed video shows officials with direct access to President Obama had access to unmasked federal surveillance of the Trump transition team, and may have briefed President Obama himself about the information they were collecting on then President-elect Trump. This Farkas interview will not be the last shoe to drop as the story continues to unravel. Little by little, it will come out and the American people will get answers to some very important – and troubling – questions.

GIVE ME ALL YOUR MONEY

How can it be that lefty liberals have such a perfect record? They appear to be on the wrong side of every issue. I can think of no exception. There must be an exception, but I cannot think of one. For example, recently Chicago's Mayor Rahm Emanuel has promised to defy federal law regarding  people who do not belong in our country. He has promised to maintain the status of Chicago as a sanctuary city. He espouses the idea that immigrants help make our city great. Of course that is true. Why can't he and the other folks that think like him not understand that our country has the right, and responsibility to control the flow of immigrants into our nation. We all know that there are millions of people all over the globe patiently waiting in line for the privilege of becoming Americans, legally. Comparing a ILLEGAL ALIEN to a LAWFUL IMMIGRANT is like comparing a BANK ROBBER'S NOTE to a WITHDRAWAL FORM. Why is this a complicated idea?






In a sense both of these documents shown above are WITHDRAWAL FORMS. Are they equivalent?  If they were I equivalent, then I would like to make a withdrawal at a 'sanctuary bank' where there are no consequences for breaking the law. Is this really such a complicated subject?

DISSENT WAS PATRIOTIC, THEN IT WASN'T, NOW IT IS AGAIN

PATRIOTISM as defined by Democrats

Many years ago, in fact, as recently as 9 years ago, DISSENT WAS PATRIOTIC.  That was during the time that George Bush was still President.  For the next eight years, when Barack Obama became President, DISSENT BECAME RACIST.  Thank goodness, that idiotic idea is no longer true. We have come full circle, once again, DISSENT IS PATRIOTIC. Don't believe me...ask US Congresswoman Maxine Waters. Her intellect is off the charts, and it would probably be considered racist to be in opposition to her. In order to have a differing viewpoint from Maxine Waters, one would either clearly have to be racist, or possibly simply have a functioning mind. 

“When we fight against this president [Trump], and we point out how dangerous he is for this society and for this country, we’re fighting for the democracy. We’re fighting for America. We’re saying to those who say they’re patriotic but they’ve turned a blind eye to the destruction that he’s about to cause this country, ‘You’re not nearly as patriotic as we are.’”

This is really true regarding Congressman Hank Johnson... I would suggest you look it up on youtube....It's about the funniest (stupidest) thing ever said anywhere.

This bumper sticker was ubiquitous during the Bush era - They disappeared when Obama was President

FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE

OK, lefties... enough. There is not a shred of evidence that Russia tried to install Donald Trump to the Presidency. It is far more likely, that if they actually were behind the wikileaking that diminished Hillary Clinton - it was too weaken her as President. That is what adversaries do. Russia is an adversary that does not share our values. In fact, most of the countries on Earth are adversaries that do not share our values. What DEMOCRAT in America, would have heard anything shameful or horrible about Hillary Clinton that was not already known about her fragile relationship with honesty and integrity and said to himself or herself.... "Yup, I don't like what I am hearing about Hillary. I better change my focus 180° and vote REPUBLICAN and vote for Donald Trump."  This is so preposterous, that whoever invented this myth must be amazed at the level of stupidity of Americans that eat this up, hook, line and sinker. Enough. 




Russian Spies, Boris and Natasha exiting Trump Tower

BASEBALL

Woke up this morning, what did I see?
A big black cloud hanging over me
I switched on the radio and nearly dropped dead
The news was so bad that I fell out of bed


just a bit of the lyrics from the Kinks song, Superman.

My point today, is that once again, I can't take the news. Real News. Fake News. It is usually bad news. I am still ticked off that the Republicans apparently punted on health insurance repeal and replace law which they have been promising for years and years.  It might be time for me to get back into an old passion of mine from a long time ago. Baseball. I probably won't. But I should. Opening day is about one week away. Although I live in Chicago, I remain a Yankee fan. The thing is, I am so far from following baseball that I cannot name one player on the team. Apparently I am not much of a fan.

HUGE WHOLE FOODS OPENS IN LAKEVIEW

There has been a Whole Foods near the intersection of Ashland and Belmont since 1996. That store closed earlier this week. Not too worry, a new store more than twice its size has just opened across the street on the right on the intersection of Ashland and Belmont. Of course, I checked it out. I was a bit underwhelmed at the design, but it was hard to argue with the size. It appears that the company contacted the same people who place the name 'TRUMP' on his buildings, as the letters identifying this building are indeed huge.

The dark silhouette at the bottom of this photograph is my daughter.
