NSA only eavesdrops on “terrorists”

I am pretty sure if you commit a domestic crime but any related deposits go through a foreign Automated Clearing House or routing number that crime qualifies for what’s  being called “eavesdropping” aka “search and seizure” of information under the Patriot Act.

Rappers, Ballers and Stadiums

Imploring people not to be a baller or rapper is odd when the White House regularly hosts championship sports teams and uses stories of rappers like Jay-Z to campaign on the American Dream. When your hometown Mayor, who is former White House Chief of Staff, decides over 100 million in taxpayer money should be given [...]
