The Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board (PCLOB) has concluded its six-year investigation into Executive Order 12333, one of the most sprawling and influential authorities that enables the U.S. government’s mass surveillance programs.

Another Gooferment “failure”!
Expecting the politicians and bureaucrats IN the Deep State to limit its intrusions is just DUMB!
Happy “Independence” Day!

Keystone XL
A Canadian energy firm behind the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline said yesterday it would formally end the project. President Joe Biden revoked the company’s permit to build an extension from Montana to Steele City, Nebraska, on his first day in office.
The canceled line was planned as the fourth phase of the larger Keystone pipeline, which is currently operational (see map) and transports more than 600,000 barrels of crude oil per day from Alberta, Canada, to refineries along the US Gulf Coast. The already built line, which enters the US in North Dakota, remains operational. The addition would have increased capacity by roughly 800,000 barrels per day, or 7% of US daily consumption.
The Phase IV extension was originally opposed over its environmental impact in US Great Plains states, but became a proxy for the larger debate over climate change. See a timeline of the project here.

SO how will all this oils move from Canadan to the Gulf Coast?
Trucks?
No extra pollution, risks, or inefficiency in that!
Gooferment making things worse and worse every time.

Why there should not be any welfare or “unemployment insurance” from the Gooferment.
As ususal, the Gooferment is immoral, ineffective, and inefficient. As well as untrustworthy.

ACCOUNTABILITY
WASTE, FRAUD AND ABUSE

Pelosi district gets $2.1M to remove wood-fired devices as Congress offers tax credits for wood heat
*** begin quote ***
“It’s duplication nation,” said Adam Andrzejewski, CEO & Founder of the public spending watchdog group, OpenTheBooks.com. “Thoughtful and careful legislating is a thing of past. Simultaneously giving tax credits to install wood-burning devices and grants to replace them (to save the environment) is a great example of congressional insanity.
*** end quote ***
Here’s yet another example of incentivizing to install and at the same time to replace.
And the insanity continues.
What if “we” did neither and gave the money back to the taxpayers?
How many more programs like this are there?
Argh!

Maricopa County Elections Witness Testifies that Dominion Ran Entire Election – County Officials and Observers NEVER HAD Access or Passwords! (Video)
By Jim Hoft
Published May 9, 2021 at 4:45pm
*** begin quote ***
Back on November 30, 2020, Maricopa County elections witness Jan Bryant testified before the Arizona legislature.
Jan has a strong project management background. She could not believe what she witnessed during the 2020 election in Maricopa County, Arizona.
Jan said back on November 30, 2020, that Maricopa County officials DID NOT RUN THE ELECTION! Dominion employees John and Bruce did.
Jan’s testimony might explain why Maricopa County officials do not have Admin passwords or access to the Dominion voting machines.
*** end quote ***
Therefore, the election was fraudulent.
Per se, it’s flawed.
Everyone connected with it should be fired and a grand jury empaneled to indict any violations of the law.
Argh!

Wisconsin dairy farmer with two prosthetic legs sues Biden administration over ‘racist’ COVID relief plan that disqualifies him because he is white
By KEITH GRIFFITH FOR DAILYMAIL.COM and ASSOCIATED PRESS
PUBLISHED: 02:09 EDT, 6 May 2021 | UPDATED: 13:03 EDT, 6 May 2021
*** begin quote ***
The group of plaintiffs joining the lawsuit to challenge the program includes farmers from Wisconsin, Minnesota, South Dakota and Ohio.
The suit contends that excluding white farmers from the program amounts to a violation of the plaintiffs’ constitutional rights.
‘Were plaintiffs eligible for the loan forgiveness benefit, they would have the opportunity to make additional investments in their property, expand their farms, purchase equipment and supplies, and otherwise support their families and local communities,’ the lawsuit said.
‘Because plaintiffs are ineligible to even apply for the program solely due to their race, they have been denied the equal protection of the law and therefore suffered harm.’
The U.S. Department of Agriculture issued a statement saying it was reviewing the lawsuit with the U.S. Department of Justice, but that the USDA plans to continue to offer loan forgiveness to ‘socially disadvantaged’ farmers.
*** end quote ***
What genius came up with this one?
Should be struck down immediately.
And, everyone connected with it should be fired!

Disney Got Itself A ‘If You Own A Themepark…’ Carveout From Florida’s Blatantly Unconstitutional Social Media Moderation Bill
Content Moderation
from the welcome-to-GoogleLand-and-FacebookWorld dept
Fri, Apr 30th 2021 10:45am — Mike Masnick
*** begin quote ***
Earlier this year, we noted that a wide variety of states (mostly those controlled by angry, ignorant Republicans) were looking to pass blatantly unconstitutional bills that sought to force social media companies to host all speech and not moderate. As we noted in that article, Florida seemed to be leading the way, and now both houses of the Florida legislature have passed the bill that is blatantly unconstitutional, and will only serve to waste a large amount of taxpayer dollars to have this law thrown out in court.
The bill, like so many other such state bills, would violate the 1st Amendment by compelling websites to host speech they have no desire to host. It’s not even worth going through the bill bit by bit to explain its many different unconstitutional parts, but like so many of these bills, it tries to say that social media websites (of a certain size) will be greatly restricted in any effort to moderate their website to make it safer. There is no way this is even remotely constitutional.

How can this type of payola be legal.

‘Mom And Pop’ Landlords Dying On The Vine As Un-Evictable Tenants Enjoy Pandemic Protections
Zero Hedge by Tyler Durden
*** begin quote ***
As millions of renters across America continue to benefit from sweeping protections against eviction during the COVID-19 pandemic, their landlords haven’t been so fortunate.
*** end quote ***
Why isn’t this considered a “taking” under the Fifth Amendment?
Is it because it is so BIG a theft?
Argh!

Unconstitutional Debt and Future Generations
Tenth Amendment Center
by Judge Andrew Napolitano
*** begin quote ***
Who will pay for all this?
If Biden’s proposed corporate and capital gains tax increases pass, fewer Americans will be employed as corporations will have less money for new hiring, and investments will suffer as the cost of their fruits will increase. And the post-pandemic economic recovery, once anticipated at the end of the government’s unlawful lockdowns, will not materialize.
Add to this the near-certainty of inflation, and you will have Biden misery visited upon all. Inflation will also raise the cost of government borrowing. That means Biden’s not yet born great-grandchildren, and their unhappy generation, will be paying for Old Joe’s profligate and unconstitutional spending.
*** end quote ***
This is a “bi-partisan” outrage.
Both the D’s and the R’s are to blame.
For the life of me, I don’t understand where this train wreck ends.
Where is a “straight shooter” who will stop the hemorage of red ink?

Time to Separate Money and State
BRIAN MAHER — POSTED APRIL 22, 2021
*** begin quote ***
Governments cannot print gold. They cannot print silver. Thus their hands are bound.
The titan Austrian school economist, Ludwig von Mises:
It is impossible to grasp the meaning of the idea of sound money if one does not realize that it was devised as an instrument for the protection of civil liberties against despotic inroads on the part of governments. Ideologically it belongs in the same class with political constitutions and bills of rights.
Church and state are famously separate in these United States. We would separate money and state with equal ruthlessness.
For a state minding money is a fox minding the henhouse.
Deny it the privilege, and you deny it its natural rascality.
*** end quote ***
Until “We, The Sheeple” limit the Gooferment from “printing money”, then it can never be put back in the box.
