PAUL: Congress’s Failure Is Liberty’s Gain

June 19, 2026June 18, 2026 Ron Paul

Congress accidentally protected the American people’s liberty this week when it failed to extend Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). Section 702 authorizes warrantless surveillance of foreign citizens. However, it has been “interpreted” by the FISA court to allow US intelligence agencies to wiretap conversations between a US citizen and a foreign … Read more

June 9, 2026 The Morning Update

Today, on the Morning Update, are we looking at more 4D chess?

Rand Paul Has The Courage To State The Obvious … No Difference Between Speaker Johnson And The Democrats

April 16, 2024 Ed Mosca

It is almost as if there are two Speaker Mike Johnsons. The Speaker Mike Johnson on X who calls out and criticizes the Biden-Regime … and the other Speaker Johnson, THE ONE THAT MATTERS, who passes and fully funds the Biden-Regime’s noxious, anti-American agenda, the very agenda that he claims to oppose.

March 1, 2026December 22, 2023 Russ Payne

Wake up to the dangers of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). Section 702 is up for congressional reauthorization before the end of the year.

The FBI Conducted 278,000 Illegal Warrantless Searches in One Year

May 23, 2023 Steve MacDonald

The best the FBI seems to be able to manage these days is that most of the agents are good, law-abiding folks; it’s just a bunch of bad apples at the top. Good luck with that, especially after a FISA Court report showed the agency “used warrantless search powers against U.S. citizens more than 278,000 times in the year ending November 2021.

FISA = Political Abuse

August 8, 2020

The federal government’s powers in the intelligence field have grown too large. The public is angered by people such as Andrew McCabe, the former FBI deputy director. We saw his employment end in termination without prosecution. At the same time others, such as former Michael Flynn, are enduring persecution.

The Steele Dossier Was False and the FBI Knew

April 12, 2020

The Steele dossier was false and the FBI knew it was false before using it to get warrants. This is now provable in court. Friday the government declassified footnotes in Justice Department Inspector General’s report.

FISA Management Advisory Memo

April 3, 2020

Recently the Justice Department I.G. issued FISA Management Advisory Memo. The short version says, to the Director of the FBI, get your cranium out of your rectum. Your department is out of control. The Department of Justice Inspector is Michael Horowitz worded his memo more nicely than this article does but the meaning is the same.

Let FISA Rest In Peace

March 15, 2020

The FISA courts were made to track down bad guys in the wake of 9/11. They were then and they are now, good intentions run amuck. How have they been used in the last few years? As expected, not all that well.

All The FISA Bills Are Bad

March 12, 2020

We have not unraveled what happened in 2016. It has not been made public. No one has been held accountable. The agencies involved have the whitewash buckets and brushes out. We know to a mathematical certainty that in 2016 the FISA system was abused.

FISA Expires in 9 Days and any Reauthorization Has to Get Past President Trump

March 6, 2020 Steve MacDonald

The existing law enabling domestic surveillance by the FBI expires on March 15th. That means the FISA Courts cease to exist on March 16th if the law is not renewed and President Trump has made it clear there will be no rubber-stamp reauthorization. I can’t imagine why?

FISA Court – Yeah, Some of Those Warrants to Spy on the Trump Team Were Not Valid

January 24, 2020 Steve MacDonald

The biggest political scandal in your life continues to unravel. John Durham’s investigation has advanced to the Pentagon (which may have been paying spies with tax dollars for political ops). And the FISA Court has ruled that (at least) two of its warrants to spy on the Trump campaign were invalid.

In Wake of FBI Lies FISA Court Orders Review of all Requests for Surveillance (Could Be Bad for Obama)

December 18, 2019 Steve MacDonald

The FISA Court is pissed. The Office of Inspector General report has identified multiple acts of fraud by the FBI in its pursuit of warrants to spy on the Trump team. The court (FISC) would like to know if that same indifference to the law taints other requests? Now.

Obama was Spying on Trump – “POTUS wants to know everything we are doing.”

December 16, 2019 Steve MacDonald

The major media has never been unbiased, but in recent years, it has all but given up the idea. And the proof is in the text messages. The IG FISA abuse report won’t call it a partisan witch hunt. It also refuses to say Obama knew. The media loves this, but he did, and we know.

FBI Didn’t Just Lie to Spy on the Trump Campaign They Exposed a CIA Asset to Do It

December 12, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Here’s a nice teaser for you. We know th FBI lied to a FISA court to spy on a Republican Political campaign. Earlier this year, I suggested it was to spy on more than one. That’s turning out to be true. But it’s not quite as impressive as this lie.

IG Report – Steel Dossier Total Crap, FBI Lied to FISA Court, And it All Sounds Biased to Me

December 9, 2019 Steve MacDonald

The IG report on FISA abuse by the FBI dropped today. The Left got one nugget. Horowitz suggests there was the thinnest reed of predication to open an investigation. The bare minimum standard. Not much else goes well for the FBI.

November 26, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Department of Justice (DoJ) Inspector General (IG) Michael Horowitz’s report on surveillance of President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign is close to release. Best guess is the second week of December. The timing will be somewhere around an expected House vote on impeachment.
