[Jared LeSage @JaredLeSage]

Here is some real scripture from the prophet Jeremiah I think covers this fairly well:

Jeremiah 8: 3-13
3And wherever I have banished them, the remnant of this evil family will choose death over life,” declares the LORD of Hosts.

4So you are to tell them this is what the LORD says:

“Do men fall and not get up again?

Does one turn away and not return?

5Why then have these people turned away?

Why does Jerusalem always turn away?

They cling to deceit;

they refuse to return.

6I have listened and heard;

they do not speak what is right.

No one repents of his wickedness,

asking, ‘What have I done?’

Everyone has pursued his own course

like a horse charging into battle.

7Even the stork in the sky

knows her appointed seasons.

The turtledove, the swift, and the thrusha

keep their time of migration,

but My people do not know

the requirements of the LORD.

8How can you say, ‘We are wise,

and the Law of the LORD is with us,’

when in fact the lying pen of the scribes

has produced a deception?

9The wise will be put to shame;

they will be dismayed and trapped.

Since they have rejected the word of the LORD,

what wisdom do they really have?

10Therefore I will give their wives to other men

and their fields to new owners.

For from the least of them to the greatest,

all are greedy for gain;

from prophet to priest,

all practice deceit.

11They dress the wound of the daughter of My people

with very little care,

saying, ‘Peace, peace,’

when there is no peace at all.

12Are they ashamed of the abomination they have committed?

No, they have no shame at all;

they do not even know how to blush.

So they will fall among the fallen;

when I punish them, they will collapse,

says the LORD.

13I will take away their harvest,

declares the LORD.

There will be no grapes on the vine,

nor figs on the tree,

and even the leaf will wither.

Whatever I have given them will be lost to them.”

@piersmorgan I used to think that about you Pierce, but then I thought about how you actually let Alex Jones into a CNN newsroom and now you don't stand to censor Tucker etc. I don't agree often, but culturally as a millennial i think your alright and "with it" on speech and what matters.

There are so many more microphones in your home than you realize. Alexa is the tip of the iceberg.

Be careful what you plug in and connect to the internet.

The government isn't meant to search your things without a warrant.
So they buy your data instead, and pretend that searching their own databases doesn't count.
The 3rd-Party Doctrine needs to end.

Thank you Keith!

[Rep. Keith Self @RepKeithSelf]

This morning, I voted NO on a short-term FISA extension.

Congress cannot keep putting band-aids on a gaping wound. FISA needs real reforms.

The fight for the Fourth Amendment is the fight for freedom itself.

DON’T SPY ON ME.

Thank you Tim!

[Tim Burchett @timburchett]

We take an oath to uphold the Constitution. FISA violates that. I voted no.

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

Thank goodness. Clean reauthorization of the unconstitutional FISA 702 program failed in the House. I’ll post the roll call when it’s available.

19 Republicans stood strong for the 4th Amendment today. Pete wanted your metadata. They chose liberty.

I remember less than a decade ago when we only needed a single penny plan to balance the budget...

[Rand Paul @RandPaul]

My Six Penny Plan is simple: cut 6 cents from every projected dollar for five years and balance the budget. No gimmicks. No tax hikes.

@SecWar This isn’t complicated: Get a warrant if you want to pilfer through Americans’ data. That’s what we ask, and what the Constitution demands.

[Holden Culotta @Holden_Culotta]

Theo Von: “What’s really going on with data centers?”

John Kiriakou: “This has to be intel-related.”

“Look at the companies that are involved.”

“Palantir.”

“NVIDIA.”

“Abraxas.”

“These big companies that either took CIA investments to get started as seed money or are staffed by retired senior CIA officers.”

Von: “Is the CIA now spying on our own people?”

Kiriakou: “Oh, yeah.”

“That’s what Ed Snowden warned us about.”

“Without Ed Snowden’s revelations, we wouldn’t have any idea that NSA and CIA were spying on Americans.”

“And this place in Utah, he and Julian Assange told us about Utah.”

“This new compound in Utah that NSA has built has enough memory storage space for every phone call, every email, and every text message from every American for the next 500 years.”

“According to Ed Snowden, NSA, CIA, other governmental organizations are scooping up all this data, and they’re just holding it.”

“Why?”

“Until the immediate post-9/11 period, if the government wanted your information, they had to go to a federal judge.”

“And the judge had to say: that’s a legitimate reason, I’ll sign the warrant.”

“Now, they just write something called a national security letter.”

“They give it to your provider … and they just turn it over.”

“Or they go to these new data centers and just put your name in … and everything pops up.”

“You don’t have any legal protections.”

“They just take whatever they want.”

@TheoVon @JohnKiriakou

[Senator Rand Paul @SenRandPaul]

It's purely irresponsible to let FISA 702 be reauthorized without a warrant requirement for American citizens.

That's insane.

America First does not mean Ukraine first.
America First does not mean Israel first.

America First does not mean China first.

America First means AMERICA FIRST.

Understand?
