FISA MOTION ALLOWED FBI TO SHARE US CITIZENS’ INFO WITH FOREIGN AGENCIES. HERE’S HOW THAT MAY HAVE PLAYED INTO THE RUSSIA PROBE (The Daily Caller)
A 2012 Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court motion contained a little-noticed provision expanding the FBI’s ability to share information with foreign officials, which could have laid the groundwork for abuses against U.S. citizens, Rep. Louie Gohmert said.
“This motion and order would allow the FBI to collude with foreign governments about U.S. citizens,” Gohmert, a Texas Republican on the House Judiciary Committee, told The Daily Caller News Foundation. [Read More]
House votes to end U.S. support for Yemen war, rebuffing Trump (NBC News)
The House on Thursday voted to end American involvement in the Yemen war, rebuffing the Trump administration’s support for the military campaign led by Saudi Arabia.
The bill now heads to President Donald Trump, who is expected to veto it. The White House says the bill raises “serious constitutional concerns,” and Congress lacks the votes to override him. [Read More]

HAMMER: Here Are Three Reasons Why I Plan To Vote For Donald Trump In 2020 (The Daily Wire)

As such, I decided not to charge the proverbial Flight 93 cockpit and did not vote for Donald Trump in the general election. (Nor did I vote for Hillary Clinton, of course.) [Read More]
Wheels come off the Southern Poverty Law Center (Washington Examiner)
On March 14, the Southern Poverty Law Center, the left-liberal civil rights nonprofit group known for its conspicuous wealth and ever-expanding lists of right-wing “hate” figures and organizations, abruptly fired 82-year-old Morris Dees. Dees, an Alabama lawyer, is the man who founded the SPLC in Montgomery in 1971 and built it into a fundraising powerhouse with assets approaching $500 million. Not long after his departure, President Richard Cohen and legal director Rhonda Brownstein, both of whom have been at the center since 1986, resigned. [Read More]
Maryland’s General Assembly passed a measure Wednesday to raise the age for buying tobacco and nicotine products from 18 to 21 — after carving out an exemption for members of the military.
The bill, which proponents say is aimed at protecting teens from the harmful health effects of smoking, but which some Republicans decried as “nanny state” legislation, would make Maryland the ninth state in the nation to raise the age for buying cigarettes and other tobacco products. [Read More]
