[Washington Examiner] Fox News host Tucker Carlson accused the Biden administration of "spying" on him in an attempt to take his show off the air.
He told his audience on Monday a government whistleblower told his team the National Security Agency is "spying" on their electronic communications and is "planning to leak them in an attempt to take this show off the air."
Carlson offered no evidence other than to say the whistleblower, whom he did not identify, repeated back information on a story the host's team is working on that came directly from his own text messages and emails.
"The Biden administration is spying on us," he said after asserting "it is illegal for the NSA to spy on American citizens."
Accusing the NSA of covertly picking up his electronic communications, Carlson insisted there is "no other possible source of that information."
Carlson, whose show averages millions of viewers, said his team filed a Freedom of Information Act request asking for all information the NSA and other agencies have gathered about his show. They also reached out to the press offices of the NSA and FBI for comment.
"We don’t expect to hear much back. That’s the way that usually goes. Only Congress can force transparency on the intelligence agencies, and they should do that immediately," he said.
"Spying on opposition journalists is incompatible with democracy. If they are doing it to us, and again, they are definitely doing it to us, they are almost certainly doing it to others. This is scary, and we need to stop it right away," Carlson said in conclusion.
The Washington Examiner reached out to the NSA, FBI, and Office of the Director of National Intelligence, and Fox News for comment.

May or may not have been NSA. Carlson is rapidly becoming the new Julian Assange. His sources are likely within the gov't. They must be found and silenced.
[Politico] Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance has indicated he does not currently plan to charge the Trump Organization with crimes related to allegations of "hush money" payments and real estate value manipulations, according to a personal lawyer for Donald Trump.
Ronald Fischetti, a New York attorney who represents the former president, said on Monday that in a meeting last week, he asked Vance’s team for details on charges they were considering.
According to Fischetti, members of Vance’s team said they were considering bringing charges against the Trump Organization and its individual employees related to alleged failures to pay taxes on corporate benefits and perks. It has been widely reported that those perks included cars and apartments and appear to only involve a small number of executives.

[Washington Examiner] The Office of Disciplinary Counsel in Washington, D.C., has reached an agreement with ex-FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith that his admitted criminality does not constitute "moral turpitude" and his law license should be suspended for just one year after he received only probation for falsifying a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act document during the Trump-Russia investigation.
Clinesmith, who worked on the investigation into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s private email server and on the FBI’s Trump-Russia inquiry, as well as special counsel Robert Mueller’s team, admitted in August 2020 that he falsified a document during the bureau’s efforts to renew FISA surveillance authority against Carter Page, a foreign policy adviser to former President Donald Trump's 2016 campaign.
Clinesmith edited a CIA email in 2017 to state Page was "not a source" for the CIA when it had told the bureau on multiple occasions Page had been an "operational contact" for the agency. He was sentenced to probation in January.
After a review of how to handle Clinesmith’s standing with the D.C. bar, disciplinary counsel and Clinesmith’s lawyers signed a petition for negotiated discipline and said they "agree that the sanction to be imposed in this matter is a one-year suspension." The suspension would essentially apply retroactively from the month of his guilty plea last year, so his yearlong suspension would actually end in August.
The District of Columbia Board on Professional Responsibility is scheduled to hold a hearing next month, in which it can either approve or reject the slap on the wrist Clinesmith has agreed to. The agreement was first reported by Reuters on Monday.

What is NOT said in para three is, when another gov't agency plans to utilize a source such as Page, coordination and authorizations must be granted in advance. I doubt the process was violated.
#5
WHAT? no Evidence tampering Civil Rights violation felony charges?
I was going to ask.....
So who is he working for, for the next year and what is his political Atta-Boy payoff income?
But then I read: "The suspension would essentially apply retroactively from the month of his guilty plea last year so his year long suspension would actually end in August.,

In Rogers v. Ohio Board of Nursing, Franklin C.P. No. 17 CVF 06-5549 (Oct. 31, 2017) that a crime of moral turpitude involves one of three types of conduct (it can be a misdemeanor or a crime):
Egregious sexual misconduct
Defrauding a specific person or society
Dishonesty and falsification

[FOXNEWS] Police in Chicago responded to dozens of shootings across the city that resulted in at least six fatalities and 74 injuries, according to a police.
There were 46 shootings reported throughout the Windy City from 6 p.m. Friday to 11:59 p.m. Sunday, Chicago Police Department said in statistics released Monday morning.
On Sunday night, police responded to a mass shooting that resulted in one fatality and four injuries, a report said.
CBS Chicago reported that the Sunday shooting occurred at 8:44 p.m. in South Shore. The victims — a woman and three males — were reportedly fired upon by a black SUV. The woman, who was shot six times, was pronounced dead at the University of Chicago Medical Center. The others are being treated and are expected to recover.
The Chicago Sun-Times wire service reported that a man, 25, was fatally shot early Saturday at a park on the Northwest Side.
The victim was discovered with a gunshot wound to the torso and was pronounced dead at Stronger Hospital. Just an hour later, another man was killed and three others injured after a confrontation led to a shooting at a park.
The CBS report pointed out that at least five of the victims who survived were 17 or younger.

[FoxNews] Two 15-year-olds from Washington, D.C., have been charged with carjacking a vehicle from a Maryland gas station earlier this month while a 2-year-old child was buckled into the back seat.
Video released by the Montgomery County Department of Police shows a female driver park her car at approximately 9:30 a.m. on June 16 beside an air pump at a gas station located in the 8600 block of Georgia Avenue in Silver Spring, Maryland.
The driver, who stopped to vacuum out her vehicle, is seen getting out of her car and going around to the passenger side to insert her money into the air pump machine. One of the suspects suddenly approaches and jumps into the driver seat before peeling off.
The victim’s 2-year-old daughter was still in a car seat in the rear passenger area of the vehicle when the car was stolen, police said. A witness who observed the theft and followed the vehicle told officers he saw it stop briefly on Colesville Road to pick up a second suspect.
The two suspects abandoned the vehicle farther down Colesville Road and fled on foot, police said. Officers located the vehicle and determined that the 2-year-old still inside was not injured.
Officers in the area observed two individuals who matched the suspects’ description walking in the area of Fenton Street and Veterans Place in downtown Silver Spring, police said. Both juvenile suspects fled on foot upon seeing the officers but were taken into custody after a brief foot pursuit.
[FoxNews] Members of the LGBTQ community are "appalled" after a transgender individual exposed themselves in the women’s section of a Los Angeles spa while young girls were reportedly present, Fox News contributor Tammy Bruce said Monday.
The incident occurred at Wi Spa in Los Angeles. A woman can be heard confronting staff members in a video she filmed demanding they ask the individual to leave the area. An employee refused to confront the customer, defending the "sexual orientation" of the individual in question.
Bruce, a member of the LGBTQ community herself, told Tucker Carlson on Monday that the exchange was troubling to many of her "transgender friends" who found the individual's behavior offensive.
"My concern here is that the average transgender person, and I have perhaps more transgender friends than some of the people watching the program, they are also appalled," Bruce said.
"This is not what anybody wants for somebody who is going through the complicated experience of changing their gender, that’s a serious dynamic and the last thing you need or you’re looking for is a confirmation of using a bathroom or walking in front of a bunch of women and girls to confirm your identity.
The employee in the video appears to invoke the state's legal requirements which leave her hands virtually tied. Bruce called on the "gay political leadership" to reform those policies that "keep people divided" from one another.
"The gay community in particular, certainly the transgender community has got to tell that the gay political leadership to stop using us as this weapon to try to keep people divided," she said. "This has got to stop because none of the transgender’s want this."
The "Get Tammy Bruce" host spoke plainly when it came to the individual who exposed themselves.
"That is a jerk who goes and does that. That is not someone who was looking at their identity and handling situations appropriately," she said.
"Now, if people are drawing conclusions and making judgments about the gay community and the transgender community which they should not do because that is what those people want, not what gay people…" she trailed off. "The transgender community needs to speak up about fairness…about what we really stand for, what the gay community does."

B.S. on the "appalled'
This is your

You deviant people.
You are only trying to protect
your "brand and turf" with this faux surprise.
Since O'Nuts gave you the go ahead in 2009,
you all have explored, exploited, and extended
your reach, insinuating yourselves into everything,
trying to tear down this country.
The pendulum is swinging back, enough of this deviance, the majority are not going to support your type much longer, best police yourselves and quickly.

fwiw, Tammy Bruce is a conservative, probably voting Republican (if she votes)
The interesting thing here is that indecent exposure may have been committed even though the exposer identifies as a woman. Of course getting a prosecutor in LA to follow up on this is a real long shot.

But, the father in me, one of many Quinceanera gifts come early.
Best to have her try it in person in a shop, swksvolFF. A young girl will not have the hand size of the adult male such things are designed for, which will make using it less effective than I imagine you’d like. I haven’t got as far as actual weapons myself, even in my long-unused scuba kit, but find most kitchen knives are uncomfortable to use because the handle is too thick or wrongly shaped for my smaller hand.
[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] Gwen Berry, 31, appeared to express her displeasure at the US national anthem during trials Saturday in Oregon Drop her from the team immediately.
The anthem played while she was on the podium taking the bronze medal in the hammer throw event
Berry turned her back to the US flag then covered her face with a T-shirt with the words 'activist athlete' on it
Afterwards, she said the timing of the anthem was 'a setup' by the event organizers and 'disrespectful' to her
USA Track and Field said the anthem was played once a day at the trials according to a published schedule
Berry is an outspoken activist who was previously sanctioned for another anthem protest in 2019
But USOPC reversed its ban on anthem protests in March, including kneeling, raising a fist on the podium

[AMERICANTHINKER] Do you know why some dogs in shelters end up perishing? Simple neglect? The sad status of being unwanted? Global warming?
Nope. According to Katja Guenther, a professor of gender and sexuality studies at the University of Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,-Riverside, these canine deaths are due to "capitalism, anthroparchy, white supremacy ...the pernicious doctrine that laws were intended to be obeyed, that society works better when people don't pour shreiking from their places of worship every Friday for a weekend of rioting over insults real or imagined; and that cannibalism, beastiality, incest, murder, theft, rape, and similar activities are bad. A Dead White European (which invalidates his opinion) philosopher once opined that societies thrive when a person's word can be relied upon, and that a society which puts individual happiness first will invariably fail. Strangely enough, other successful societies, such as China, Japan, Korea, and those kinds of places could also be lumped with white supremacist societies, since they push the same values... and patriarchy."

While sociology isn't the brightest of disciplines anyway, this is the most hack nonsense I have ever come across.

Sky News host Cory Bernardi says treating household pets with care is now considered to be an act of racism as minorities are said to abuse animals because of “white supremacy”.
“According to leftist Professor Katja Guenther, dogs are being killed and mistreated by minorities because of capitalism, anthroparchy, white supremacy, and patriarchy,”.
Mr Bernardi said the stance of Professor Guenther believes allowing pets to sleep indoors is “a privilege reserved for the white and the wealthy” and policies against keeping dogs chained up hurts minorities.
“Little wonder people prefer the company of dogs than what passes for academia these days.” MS.

[AMERICANTHINKER] The Pennsbury School District is located in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, which gave its votes to Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. Old, boring, a plagiarist, fond of hair sniffing and grabbing the protruding parts of women, and not whatcha call brilliant... or is that an act?... by a very narrow margin (assuming Biden actually got those votes). While the community is evenly divided, the school board is leftist. It wanted to bring in a diversity program but didn't want community objections to show up in recordings of public meetings, so it censored those bits. Many parents were outraged — and one man, Simon Campbell, schooled the board on its constitutional obligations, including having to sit there and take it when people say things school board members don't like.

[USATODAY] As Pride Month A twelfth of our entire year spent on this nonsense.
comes to a close, the NFL has released a new commercial that makes clear its support and embrace of the LGBTQ+ community.
The 30-second spot begins with the line, "Football is gay" as light cheering plays in the background.
The 30-second spot begins with the line, "Football is gay" as light cheering plays in the background.
"Football is lesbian. Football is beautiful. Football is queer. Football is life. Football is exciting. Football is culture. Football is transgender. Football is queer. Football is heart. Football is power. Football is tough. Football is bisexual. Football is strong. Football is freedom. Football is American. Football is accepting. Football is everything. Football is for everyone."
The video is a direct response to Carl Nassib's public coming-out last week, according to Outsports. Nassib, a defensive end for the Las Vegas Raiders, is the first active NFL player to be out.
“I am proud of the clear message this spot sends to the NFL’s LGBTQ+ fans: This game is unquestionably for you,” NFL senior director of diversity, equity and inclusion, Sam Rapoport, told Outsports. “I will be playing its first line over and over in my head all season.”
Rapoport told USA TODAY Sports last week: "It’s OK to not fully understand the LGBTQ+ experience for you to be an ally. You don’t need to be an expert in all the terms. You just need to try."
Along with his announcement last week, Nassib donated $100,000 to the Trevor Project, a leading national organization that provides crisis intervention and suicide prevention help for LGBTQ+ youth. The NFL followed suit with its stated support of The Trevor Project in the commercial, while reiterating the fact that LGBTQ+ youth with at least one accepting adult in their lives have a 40 percent lower risk of attempting suicide.
"If you love this game, you are welcome here," @NFL wrote on Twitter. "Football is for all. Football is for everyone. The NFL stands by the LGBTQ+ community today and every day."

Oh, football! It's brutal, but slimming;
With physical culture it's brimming,
And grappling galore!
It's a little like war,
And a lot like ballet without women.
Playing with oblate spheroids;
all tackles, blitzes and steroids.
Traumatic brain boo boos
and backward fumble pooch screws.
How do homos with no ball
manage to play at all?

[NYPOST] Third time was definitely no charm for this polyamorous priest.
The holy man in India wanted to get married a third time, but his second wife sliced off his penis as he slept after he ignored her pleas to refrain from getting hitched again, according to a report.
Maulvi Vakil Ahmad, 57, a holy man in the city of Muzaffarnagar in the state of Uttar Pradesh, was allegedly attacked by his wife Hazra, who used a kitchen knife to chop off his manhood on Thursday in Shikarpur village, India Today reported.
The wife told Sherlocks that she carried out the grisly attack while her hubby was asleep, according to the news outlet.
The woman then tried to perform his last rites with the help of her relatives, but a neighbor became suspicious and alerted police. After being questioned, Hazra confessed to the crime, the outlet reported.
In India, the act of a woman choppping off a partner’s penis has been dubbed "Bobbitise" after the infamous 1993 case of Lorena Bobbitt, who hacked off her husband John Wayne Bobbitt’s member as he slept and threw it out her car window, the Sun reported.
Bobbitt’s penis was so well reattached, he was able to launch a successful porn career.

[New York Post] An 11-year-old girl has delivered a baby — and is believed to be the youngest-ever mom to give birth in the United Kingdom, a report said Sunday.
The child, who was 10 years old when she became pregnant, gave birth earlier this month when she was more than 30 weeks along, the Sun reported.
"This is the youngest mother I’ve heard of," Dr. Carol Cooper told the outlet.
"Weight affects many hormones. Because children are heavier, puberty is happening earlier these days," she added. Uh huh. And puberty doesn't make you pregnant
The pregnancy stunned the girl’s family, who were not aware that she was expecting, the outlet reported. "We just bought her a Barbie. Now she can share with her..uh..."
"It has come as a big shock," a source who knows the family told the outlet.
"She’s now being surrounded by expert help. The main thing is that she and the baby are OK."
Social services and police are investigating, the outlet reported.
"There are questions around why people did not know. That is very worrying," the source told the Sun.
The youngest mom in Britannia was previously Tressa Middleton, who was 12 years old when she gave birth in 2006.
[MIAMI.CBSLOCAL] Amidst the tragedy of the Surfside condo collapse, there’s a story of remarkable strength and determination.
Angela Gonzalez and her 16-year-old daughter, Devon, fell from the ninth floor to the fifth floor.
Despite a breaking her pelvis, Angela found the strength to not only pull herself from the rubble, but also her child.
Both were taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital for treatment.
“Wasn’t something that I thought I would come down to this, I guess. But pick up the pieces, trying to figure out how to make this work, how to make this better than what it is,” said Lisa Melencial, a family friend who was among those gathered at JMH. “Even though it’s a tragic scenario. I just want prayers and just the best for her and her family.”
Edgar Gonzalez, Angela’s husband and Devon’s dad, is among the 99 people who are unaccounted for.
“Hope for the best. Everybody just give prayers. Everybody else’s families or any colleagues or friends that were in the incidents, I wish you prayers, thoughts… And I hope everybody gets well,” Melencial said.
Now loved ones are just hoping for another miracle.

7 killed, 50+ injured in blast in Bangladesh capital
The cause of the blast, which occurred on the ground floor of a three-story building on a busy street in Dhaka's Moghbazar area, was not immediately clear. Dhaka Metropolitan Police Commissioner Shafiqul Islam told reporters that at least seven people died. The injured were taken to hospitals, he said.
Seven nearby buildings and three buses were damaged in the explosion, he added.
Another police official said the fire service was working with the police bomb disposal unit and counter terrorism unit to investigate the origin of the blast.
Witnesses said it was a scene of destruction with glass shards and broken concrete on streets. Two passenger buses were heavily damaged outside the building where the explosion took place, witnesses said.
"A fireball went over my head. Everything became dark and smoky with the sound. Pieces of glass started to shower from above. If I didn't use this (a folder bag) as a cover, I would've been under the glass pieces. Allah saved me from them," said Omar Sani, who was at the scene during the explosion.
"Then the buses crashed into one another, and one got crumbled. One man got out from that damage. He was in very bad condition. We brought the other injured here. We found four people including one kid at one place ... the kid died from the impact. I brought the kid to hospital," he said.
Police in Bangladesh say a gas leak may have caused a major explosion in a busy neighborhood in Dhaka late Sunday, killing at least seven people and injuring scores more.
The blast at around 7:30 p.m. caused the partial collapse of a three-story commercial building where the earth-shattering kaboom happened, and shattered the windows of neighboring buildings and damaged buses passing by.
Inspector General of Police Benazir Ahmed said methane gas might have caused the blast.
"When gas cylinders are not properly maintained, they can turn into explosives," he said after visiting the scene of the earth-shattering kaboom. "We will work with the Fire Service to find out the reason behind this incident."
No conclusion can be drawn before a full probe is complete, Benazir said, adding however that the blast scene did not look like a bombing.
Based on this information, moved to Page 3: Non-War on Terror
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] A witness to the blaze in railway arches on Elephant Road filmed the blast at around 2.10pm this afternoon, while others posted images of the massive smoke clouds filling the skies of the capital.
LFB said three commercial units underneath the railway arches were completely alight and four cars and a telephone box were also on fire near Elephant and Castle station.
At the height of the blaze, ten fire engines and around 100 firefighters were tackling the fire, London Fire Brigade said, but the fire is now under control. Crews remain on scene for the next few hours to dampen down the site and ensure the flames are out
London Fire Brigade (LFB) said shortly before 4pm that the fire close to Elephant and Castle station was 'under control', but its crews will remain in place 'for the next few hours to dampen down the scene'.
Road closures are still in place as people are advised to avoid the area while the London Ambulance Service has advised those who live in the surrounding area to keep their windows closed.
The service received 50 reports of a fire in a nearby garage from at 1.43pm. Six people were treated by ambulance crews and one was taken to hospital, the London Fire Brigade (LFB) has said.

[REGNUM] Another state-owned printing house, which they want to implement as part of the privatization program, is put up for sale in the Oryol region. A package of 100% of shares of Trud Printing House is planned to be sold at auction on July 22, 2021, reports IA REGNUM with reference to the documentation.
1,812,478 ordinary registered uncertified shares, which are currently owned by the region, are being offered for sale. The nominal value of one share is 40 rubles with an authorized capital of 72.49 million rubles (USD $1,002,202.38). The initial selling price of the lot is 200 million rubles (USD $2,764,000.00).
The Trud printing house was founded in 2004, but there is evidence that it dates back to 1812. The printing house is a full-cycle enterprise. Its main assets include real estate - a production facility with a total area of 9,590.7 sq. m, land plot, warehouses, garage, workshop and much more.
According to open data, in 2020 the revenue of the joint-stock company amounted to 42 million rubles (USD $580,440.00) against 50.9 million rubles (USD $703,438.00) a year earlier.
Let us remind you that today, June 29, it is also planned to trade for the sale of stakes in two more state assets from this industry - JSC Publishing House Kavkazskaya Zdravnitsa (Stavropol) and JSC Publishing and Printing Complex Dalpress in Vladivostok. In addition, full stakes in Zvezda Publishing and Printing Complex JSC from the Perm Territory and Saratov Printing Works JSC are put up for sale. Bidding for the latter two is scheduled for July.

[REGNUM] On June 28, a detachment of ships and support vessels of the Northern Fleet (SF) of the Russian Navy, led by the missile cruiser Marshal Ustinov, left Severomorsk for the Barents Sea to make the transition to the Baltic Sea.

[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] India has deployed another 50,000 troops on its disputed Himalayan border with China - a significant display of power to its nuclear rival.
The two sides clashed in a high-mountain battle last year that left more than 20 soldiers dead in the bloodiest days since the Sino-Indian War of 1962.
Over the last three months, India has dispatched soldiers and fighter jets to the border, bringing its total up to 200,000 troops, an increase of 40 per cent on last year, sources told Bloomberg.
It is not clear what numbers China has but it has bolstered its infrastructure across the tundra with runways, bomb-proof bunkers for fighter jets, howitzers and outposts.
Beijing has also sent long-range artillery, tanks, anti-aircraft missiles and fighter jet squadrons over the last few months, Bloomberg reported.

...One thing that I'm seeing - but not sure how accurate it is - is that the Chinese are competent enough as long as things go according to plan, but as soon as something shows up that wasn't in the briefing, they're on the back foot and stay there.
I'd hope that somebody on our side was having some quiet exchanges of data over tea with India, but I'm not confident.

[Arutz 7] - The new "Delta" coronavirus variant, also known as the Indian variant, has caused nearly 400,000 deaths in India alone, and sent South Africa into a two-week lockdown, Israel Hayom reported.
As the variant spreads, countries around the world race to complete vaccination campaigns in an effort to prevent their populations from becoming the new India.
In Argentina, where over 90,000 have died of the virus, just 34.9% received the first dose of the coronavirus vaccine, and just 8.6% the second dose.
On Sunday, over 21,000 new coronavirus cases were diagnosed in Russia, where just 11% of the population has taken the coronavirus vaccine, mostly due due to concerns regarding the vaccine and the government.
Sydney, Australia, saw 128 new cases on Sunday, almost all of them the Delta variant. The rise is the country's first in several months.
In Mexico, Sunday saw 2,000 new diagnoses, and the official estimates are grim. In USA, however, reputable doctors and scientists have proved conclusively that there is no such thing as Covid.

That people are more concerned about the name being discriminatory rather than the Thames flooding because all the bodies clogging the flow can be considered evidence.
#10
the total number Covid fatalities in India is under 400k and they had about 200k fatalities before the Delta varient was ID ed so the article has a problem
