SUSAN RICE-A-PHONI

It is amazing how one person could be pegged by so many stupid comments and bold lies.  There was the time a few years back that Susan Rice went on five Sunday Morning News shows and told the whopper of a lie that the Benghazi terrorist attacks were the result of a bad reaction to a controversial youtube video that very few people on earth had been remotely aware. There was the time that she was lauding the service of army deserter, and court-martial candidate, Bowe Bergdahl. (Bergdahl is currently facing court-martial on charges of desertion and misbehavior before the enemy for allegedly walking off his post in Afghanistan - so if nothing else, we know that Susan Rice is an excellent judge of someone's character.) Then there was the time earlier last month when she feigned ignorance about how or who might have unmasked the identities of the phone logs obtained by the NSA in a routine surveillance of phone calls to the Russian Ambassador. As Gomer Pyle used to say, SURPRISE, SURPRISE, SURPRISE... It was former United States National Security Advisor and serial liar, the (dis)honorable Susan Rice.

SURPRISE, SURPRISE, SURPRISE catchphrase of TV character, Gomer Pyle,  from a  show that  aired in the 1960's

Thanks goodness, this liberal, lefty, lying Democrat hack, Susan Rice, is out of government. It is time for her to take her rightful place on CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS, PBS or MSNBC, where her love of misinformation,  lies and half-truths will be far more welcome and unquestioned.

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.

'THE LIES AND DECEPTION OF THE MEDIA FOR WEEKS!' MARK LEVIN COMES ROARING BACK MONDAY EVENING

By: Chris Pandolfo | March 06, 2017

Conservative Review Editor-in-Chief Mark Levin came roaring back on the radio Monday night after a weekend of media hysterics, in which questions Levin raised last week about the Obama administration’s spying were met with arrogant dismissal from the mainstream media.

Levin called out CNN’s Brian Stelter, who earlier today accused him of peddling a “conspiracy theory,” asking him and the rest of the media why they are now denying that the Obama administration asked for FISA court warrants to surveil the Trump campaign.  

“For weeks the media had reported there were FISA court orders!” Levin roared.

Levin nailed the essential question: If there were no FISA court warrants issued last year, then why did the media report that there were for weeks?

So, if the media, for example, The New York Times, was correct in reporting that there were FISA warrants issued for listening to the Trump Campaign during the election season, how is that a conspiracy theory? And if the media was incorrect in reporting the existence of these FISA warrants, why were the stories never retracted? I am aware that this wouldn't be the first time that the New York Times has reported Fake News. But both situations can't be true.

CURIOUSER AND CURIOUSER

My reaction over the weekend that President Obama was behind the tapping of phones at Trump Tower was the same as Lewis Carrol's Alice. "Curiouser and Curiouser."

I do not know what to believe. I am well aware that both the 44th and the 45th President of the United States are not always truthful. Remember the lie that a video was responsible for the Benghazi attacks? Could the previous administration have really tapped phones in Trump Tower? It seems preposterous. and yet...

CHICAGO SKYSCRAPERS

Yesterday, I returned to a type of exercise that I have recently stepped away from (pun intended).  Many months ago when I was training for my climb up Half Dome in Yosemite, my training concentrated on stair climbing. I spent time on a stairmaster and spent time climbing and re-climbing the 25 story building in which I live. It has been months since I have done this. Yesterday, I spent 90 minutes climbing and re-climbing the height of my building. I would climb up to the 25th floor, take the elevator back down to the lobby, and climb up again. I completed this when I had climbed a total of 208 stories. It made me wonder what buildings in Chicago, had I had access to their staircases, would have made this possible. It turns out I could have just about climbed to the top of the Willis Tower (formerly Sears Tower) and Trump International Hotel and Tower. In fact, I could have climbed them both and had two stories to spare. For some reason, today, when I stand up, I feel a bit wobbly...

As all 'fit bitters' know, one is 'rewarded' with various 'badges' for stepping and  climbing achievements. Most times  that the fitbit has recorded stories climbed with me, it comes from increases in elevation on hilly hikes.  The last time that 'climbed' 200 stories was back in July last year. Yesterday I earned my 4th 'CASTLE' badge from fitbit.

I have still not righted my caloric intake.  Another week has passed and another pound was gained. This morning, I checked in at 243.2 lbs. Sure, I can remind myself that I am 67 pounds less than when I started, but this rationalization is becoming more and more meaningless. One cannot use walking, hiking or stair climbing to effectively erase the effects of over-eating. I know this. Perhaps I should act on this information.
