We Just Got a Rare Look at National Security Surveillance. It Was Ugly.

A high-profile inspector general report has served as fodder for arguments about President Trump. But its findings about surveillance are important beyond partisan politics.

As long as there is a black budget the security services will try to watch everyone all the time.
What can be done is make the information gathered inadmissible in court.
The police will be given the reports but will be required to gather new evidence.

House Panel Delays Vote on Impeachment Articles

The House Judiciary Committee abruptly postponed the expected party-line approval of two articles of impeachment, now set for Friday, which will send the charges to the full House for a vote.

A twelve hour delay is not significant.
Trump's foot got further into his mouth.

Trump’s Executive Order and the Rise of Anti-Semitism

The president’s campus intervention ignores the bigger threat of anti-Semitism and threatens speech.

The separation church and state must be maintained.
Murder is a civil crime.
Past suffering does not impart legitimacy.
Equality before the law is the only possible reparation.
States must do justice.

It Wasn’t Me He Wanted

He was over 70. I was 22. We both loved Fran Lebowitz. What was I doing on the back of his motorcycle?

Surprises come.
Sooner is better.    As soon as you can is best.
My second best bed is on offer.

Tessa Majors Killing: Boy, 13, is Arrested

He appeared in court on murder and robbery charges. Detectives believe two other teenagers took part in the stabbing, an official said.

The incident makes me sad.
Only one hand held the knife.

U.K. Election Results Map: How Conservatives Won in a Landslide

Prime Minister Boris Johnson secured a large majority in Parliament. Here’s how he did it.

Political reporting should be better.

MI5 must have known the situation.  Communication must not be functioning.

Wider Definition of Judaism Is Likely to Aid Crackdown on Colleges

Even before President Trump issued his order targeting anti-Semitism on U.S. campuses, the Education Department was actively investigating accusations of anti-Jewish bias.

The action is unconstitutional on several grounds.
