Because the donation while generous is still a drop in the bucket considering the NPS overall budget. On top of that bringing in that Ranger to the press conference makes it look phony as hell to me. That was politics and most politics are wrought with phoniness. Not as bad as some of the things Obama did. The Bowe Bergdahl parents news conference comes to mind.

My brother and I had our wives in there one year on Indy 550 two up rentals. We were running late getting them back by the deadline and I'm dead serious when I say we held them wide open for about 75 miles. Top speed was right at 55. Never seen a sled go so far on E. We laugh about it to this day.

Rand was who I was supporting until he dropped out. I still like him as a candidate.

I'd venture a guess if you talk to anyone outside the US or in the US that's from a foreign country the entire conversation is recorded and reviewed by computers for "key" words.

It was always 55 mph limit and people really respected it. While its nice there are much more scenic places to ride out west. I rode in Teton National Park before it was completely closed to sledders. We rode in there for a couple hours 2 feet of fresh on the trail and didn't run into another sled. Amazing day riding almost at the base of the Tetons. Just found some pictures of that ride the other day. We rode from Togwotee thru TNP to Old Faithful and back. About a 350 mile day.

You can prove the donation without doing the phony photo op.

No video?

Normally I'd say yes but I never heard of one issue in Yellowstone. Give the money, skip the stupid photo op. Don't be a typical politician.

What's happened with this story. Don't want to go back and read. Any video released?

Maybe we can get 2 strokes into Yellowstone again and not have to take guides to stay on marked trails.

Obama was probably tapping that so she will fall on the sword for him. (pun not intended) Don't think for a second that her denials were not complete planned.

You are about as bi-polar as Ben at times.

Really too bad Ron Paul's campaign could not have gotten more traction over the years.

Well we do know Obama was listening in on Congressional leaders calls. I've yet to see proof of a GOP POTUS doing it but I guess spying was going on just how much was Bush asking for. According to a bombshell Wall Street Journal article by Adam Entous and Danny Yadron, published online late Monday, the National Security Agency provided the White House with intercepted Israeli communications containing details of private discussions between Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and U.S. lawmakers and American Jewish groups on the Iran nuclear deal. If true, this could be the biggest scandal of the Obama presidency. The Journal article explains that President Obama decided to stop NSA collection against certain foreign leaders after the backlash against Edward Snowden’s disclosure that the NSA had eavesdropped on German chancellor Angela Merkel’s cellphone and monitored communications of the heads of state of other close U.S. allies. According to the Journal story, President Obama did not halt NSA spying against Netanyahu. This is not a surprise, given the president’s chilly relations with the Israeli leader and Israel’s aggressive spying against the United States. It’s also not a surprise that the Obama administration sought intelligence on Netanyahu’s efforts to undermine the nuclear deal. But it is stunning to learn that NSA sent the White House intelligence on private discussions with U.S. congressmen on a major policy dispute between the White House and Congress. According to the Journal article, to avoid a paper trail that would show that they wanted the NSA to report on Netanyahu’s interactions with Congress, Obama officials decided to let the agency decide how much of this intelligence to provide and what to withhold. The article cited an unnamed U.S. official who explained, “We didn’t say, ‘Do it.’ We didn’t say, ‘Don’t do it.’” This suggests major misconduct by the NSA and the White House of a sort not seen since Watergate. This suggests major misconduct by the NSA and the White House of a sort not seen since Watergate. First, intercepts of congressmen’s communications regarding a dispute between Congress and the White House should have been destroyed and never left the NSA building. The Journal article said a 2011 NSA directive requires direct communications between foreign intelligence targets and members of Congress to be destroyed, but gives the NSA director the authority to waive this requirement if he determines the communications contain “significant foreign intelligence.” http://www.redstate.com/streiff/2017/03/05/flashback.-remember-obama-used-nsa-spy-congress/ Scary shit if true. http://www.theblaze.com/news/2017/03/25/shocking-nsa-whistle-blower-tells-tucker-carlson-trump-supreme-court-congress-likely-spied-on/

No question we need a FISA court type of system for whistle blowers to be able to anonymously go to without repercussions. Generally speaking the media is simply too bias in the US to trust with these kinds of things and should not be receiving classified information. Comes down to what I've always said. ALL OF THIS is the product of us as citizens letting the federal govt become too large and powerful.

Hoover? You do know he's been dead for 44 years? I'm not denying he spied on politicians but come on that's a bit irrelevant to the topics being discussed. When you got proof that the Bush admin used govt spying capabilities to dig up dirt on Obama then post it up. Do you think for a second that could have been done to him without leaks. Its clearly obvious how this would be handled by the MSM if the roles were reversed. Pretty obtuse not to see that.

You see no difference in our govt spying on us vs. foreign govt's spying on us? I'll say it again whether an inside job or Russian phishing scam or Russian govt I'm all for holding those who stole the private property of the DNC accountable however its not even in the same ballpark as our own govt who just so happens to be the opposing party spying on a campaign or candidate. If anyone here thinks that damaging information wouldn't have been leaked to the MSM or the Clinton camp if found is crazy. The intell community thru incidental surveillance can spy on anyone they want. Hell we KNOW without question they don't even need that. Its just used as an excuse to make it look legal.

I actually watch her quite a bit. It's good comedy. Election night was AWESOME! I can watch it over and over and over again. "Even if he wins all of the toss up states which nobody does he would still lose."

Well most Jew's in the US are liberal Dem so.

Why is there another bombshell revelation on Trump's tax returns?

What we know about the recent history of the SC. The GOP didn't filibuster Sotomayor or Kagen's nomination. Both far left judges immediately got an up or down vote and votes from GOP members. We know prominent dem politicians including Chuck Schumer and Joe Biden said Bush should not get a SC justice voted in the last year in office. It should go to the next President. Even Clarence Thomas was not filibustered.

If the Bush administration was surveilling others that "incidentally" captured people in the Obama or Clinton team a year before the election? Then imagine the outrage and calls of racism or misogyny if the National Security Adviser and other top officials were involved in unmasking the names of the Obama or Clinton team and leaking them to the press to damage them politically. Reality is this is a political scandal unlike anything we have seen since Watergate and the MSM is COMPLETELY ignoring it. The left is outraged that the Russian's may have been spying on Clinton which of course is unfair only to us as we were spying on their diplomats as well as others. Is there anything in the world more hypocritical than the US govt?

And neither is the Supreme Court. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Financial_Stability_Oversight_Council

Much of that went on under Bush. Obama was not economically a great POTUS.

Maybe a bit of both but I think if the POTUS makes "suggestions" to the fed they are taken into consideration. The 2008 financial crisis made that clear.
