rino-McCain Blasts Trump For Call To Putin,
Was Silent When liar-nObama and Putin Exchanged Calls
by rickwells.us
{ rickwells.us } ~ RINO John McCain did what he always does, criticizing President Trump... this time for a customary congratulatory phone call to Vladimir Putin on Tuesday following his election victory. It was the typical diplomatic courtesy, an act of respect that one world leader extends to another that he’s going to be working with for the remainder of their terms but that doesn’t matter. rino-McCain hates Russia almost as he hates Donald Trump, so he came out with his incisors slashing. He said in a statement that the phone call was an insult to “every Russian citizen who was denied the right to vote in a free and fair election to determine their country’s future.” In taking his pot shots at President Trump, the undercover Democrat declared, “An American president does not lead the Free World by congratulating dictators on winning sham elections. And by doing so with Vladimir Putin, President Trump insulted every Russian citizen who was denied the right to vote in a free and fair election to determine their country’s future, including the countless Russian patriots who have risked so much to protest and resist Putin’s regime.”...He should resign. https://rickwells.us/mccain-trump-putin-obama/Benghazi Hero Drops Jaws, Reveals
What Comey and McCabe’s FBI Did to Him
by BEN MARQUIS
{ conservativetribune.com } ~ When it was announced Friday evening that former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe had been fired... on the recommendation of both the Department of Justice Office of the Inspector General and the FBI’s Office of Professional Responsibility, there were plenty of “hot takes” from politicians and media figures on both the right and left. However, according to BizPac Review, the hottest take of all in regard to McCabe’s termination may have come from one of the heroes who emerged from the deadly 2012 Benghazi terrorist attack, Kris “Tanto” Paronto. Paronto, a former U.S. Army Ranger who was a security contractor in Benghazi at the time of the attack and helped fend off repeated waves of assaults by terrorists at the U.S. consulate and nearby CIA annex, took to Twitter to make his feelings known in regard to McCabe, as well as former FBI Director James Comey and former CIA Director John Brennan... https://conservativetribune.com/benghazi-hero-comey-mccabes-fbi/?utm_source=Email&utm_medium=CTBreaking&utm_campaign=breaking&utm_content=conservative-tribune.liar-nObama Used Executive Powers
To Benefit Close Friends' Private Investment Firms
by RYAN SAAVEDRA
{ dailywire.com } ~ A new book released on Tuesday by Peter Schweizer, the author of "liar-Clinton Cash," claims that former President Barack liar-nObama... used his executive powers to financially benefit his close friends. Schweizer's new book, "Secret Empires: How Our Politicians Hide Corruption and Enrich Their Families and Friends," claims that liar-nObama would attack certain industries, which decimated the value of certain companies that his friends would then swoop in and buy. The Washington Examiner reports: ... liar-nObama and his administration would deem industries either destructive to the environment or exploitative for the financial and professional gain of his friends, including industries such as coal mining, offshore drilling, cash advance companies, and for-profit colleges... https://www.dailywire.com/news/28458/report-obama-used-executive-powers-benefit-close-ryan-saavedra .
The U.S. Government’s Spending Problem
by Craig Eyermann
{ mygovcost.org } ~ The U.S. government’s total public debt outstanding now exceeds $21 trillion... having crossed that milestone just one week after MyGovCost marked the occasion of $1 trillion having been added to the national debt under President Trump. What might surprise you however is that this has happened even as the U.S. government has collected more in taxes than it ever has before. The following chart shows the federal government’s cumulative monthly revenue totals for each of its fiscal years from 2015 through 2018, as calculated from data provided by the U.S. Treasury’s monthly statements, where the data for its current 2018 fiscal year is only available through February 2018 at this time... http://www.mygovcost.org/2018/03/19/the-u-s-governments-spending-problem/.

No Fourth Amendment Rights at the Border?
by Political Editors: The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in United States v. Vergara that American citizens’ Fourth Amendment rights end at the border. Speaking for the majority, Judge William H. Pryor stated that, since “the forensic searches of [Hernando] Vergara’s cell phones occurred at the border, not as searches incident to arrest,” the Fourth Amendment protections didn’t apply. He added, “Border searches never require a warrant or probable cause.” Yet the issue here was not the physical search of Vergara’s person and belongings as he entered the U.S., but of the search of his cell phone contents. When Vergara, a U.S. citizen, re-entered the U.S., Customs and Border Protection officials searched his luggage, including three phones, because of his prior conviction for child pornography. Vergara’s phone contents were checked, and officials found child pornography for which Vergara was subsequently arrested. In her dissenting opinion, Judge Jill Pryor (no relation) agreed that the government has an interest in protecting the nation’s borders, but she argued that significant privacy protections were raised by the ruling. Pryor wrote, “The privacy interests implicated in forensic searches are even greater than those involved in the manual searches at issue in Riley [v. California].” Furthermore, “a forensic search of a cell phone at the border [should require] a warrant supported by probable cause.”
This ruling will clearly not be the end of the story as it sets up a collision course with the Supreme Court’s 2014 ruling that specifically extended Fourth Amendment protections to include cell phones. Indeed, Vergara’s challenge relied on that case. Chief Justice John Roberts wrote at the time, “The fact that technology now allows an individual to carry such information in his hand does not make the information any less worthy of the protection for which the Founders fought.” Roberts concluded, “Our answer to the question of what police must do before searching a cell phone seized incident to an arrest is accordingly simple — get a warrant.”
