We know that the only way to avoid error is to detect it, that the only way to detect it is to be free to inquire. We know that in secrecy error undetected will flourish and subvert.” –J.

Wheatie’s Word of the Day:
Nugacity
‘Nugacity’ is a noun which means…a triviality, something insignificant or inconsequential, a trifle. Nugacity can also mean the quality of being trivial or unimportant.
Pronounced [noo-GAS-i-tee], Nugacity is related to the adjectives nugacious and nugatory, both of which mean “trivial” or “unimportant.”
Used in a sentence:
Democrats often treat our 1st Amendment like a nugacity that is disposable when conservatives are the ones exercising it.
Author note: please tell me if the docs are posting for you. They aren’t for me and I need to pull the chicken out of the oven.
Oh, my, the last one of these was in late May. Well, thanks to today’s drop(s) from various places, we have new DECLAS documents courtesy of the Judiciary Committee of the United States Senate:
July 17, 2020
WASHINGTON – Today, as part of the Senate Judiciary Committee’s ongoing investigation into the Crossfire Hurricane investigation and related FISA abuses, Chairman Lindsey Graham (R- South Carolina) released two recently declassified documents that significantly undercut the reliability of the Steele dossier and the accuracy and reliability of many of the factual assertions in the Carter Page FISA applications.
“I’m very pleased the investigation in the Senate Judiciary Committee has been able to secure the declassification of these important documents,” said Chairman Graham. “I want to thank Attorney General Barr for releasing these documents and allowing the American People to judge for themselves.
“What have we learned from the release of these two documents by the Department of Justice? Number one, it is clear to me that the memo regarding the FBI interview of the primary sub-source in January 2017 should have required the system to stop and reevaluate the case against Mr. Page.
“Most importantly after this interview of the sub-source and the subsequent memo detailing the contents of the interview, it was a miscarriage of justice for the FBI and the Department of Justice to continue to seek a FISA warrant against Carter Page in April and June of 2017.
“The dossier was a critical document to justify a FISA warrant against Mr. Page and this DOJ memo clearly indicates that the reliability of the dossier was completely destroyed after the interview with the primary sub-source in January 2017. Those who knew or should have known of this development and continued to pursue a FISA warrant against Mr. Page anyway are in deep legal jeopardy in my view.
“Secondly, the comments of Peter Strzok regarding the February 14 New York Times article are devastating in that they are an admission that there was no reliable evidence that anyone from the Trump Campaign was working with Russian Intelligence Agencies in any form.
“The statements by Mr. Strzok question the entire premise of the FBI’s investigation of the Trump Campaign and make it even more outrageous that the Mueller team continued this investigation for almost two and a half years. Moreover, the statements by Strzok raise troubling questions as to whether the FBI was impermissibly unmasking and analyzing intelligence gathered on U.S. persons.
“These documents, which I have long sought, tell a damning story for anyone who’s interested in trying to find the truth behind the corrupt nature of the FBI’s investigation into the Trump campaign in 2016 and beyond.”
Thanks to acting Director of National Intelligence, Richard Grenell, a number of previously withheld behind closed doors questioning transcripts are now available for public viewing. As with many deposition type documents, they can be long, but hopefully will be informative. Here’s the list with live links.
The United States Intelligence Community (IC), at the bipartisan request of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI), reviewed 53 transcripts for classification. The IC made appropriate redactions, lowering the classification level of all 53 transcripts to UNCLASSIFIED. Each transcript can be accessed by clicking on the names below.
From the Judiciary Committee webpage as of April 29, 2020:
The Senate Judiciary Committee released an additional declassified transcript between George Papadopoulos and an FBI confidential human source (declassified on April 24, 2020). (document)
As of the evening of April 16, 2020, the Senate Judiciary Committee has begun declassifying the documents that we’ve all been waiting for: The FISA warrant applications used to spy on members of the 2016 Trump Campaign for president.

The links are live to the documents that have been declassified. WARNING: most of them are REALLY long, as in over 80 pages, so for those whose bedtime reading is not legal documents, this thread will serve as a place to gather what the anons have been finding and sharing online in addition to what any of us find.
Please, post any findings, Tweets, images, emails, etc., found in the space below, and they will be added to future posts as the documents are made public.
As this declas effort is new, and will likely be dribbled out for proper public digestion, there will be new posts regularly sharing updates. It all depends on the volume of information, and the intensity as to whether or not this will recur daily, weekly, or as it happens.

For your listening enjoyment, I offer this composition from Michael Kenneth Marino, titled ‘Rasa’:
Pedophilia is disgusting and it is sickening to think that human beings would engage in such a vile horror.
People like Ruth Bader Ginsberg and Ghislaine Maxwell think that the ‘age of consent’ should be lowered to 13…and other leftists want to decriminalize pedophilia altogether. They declare that “love is love” and want to normalize the revolting practice.
I say pedos should be rounded up, locked up together in a sealed enclosure and introduced to a swarm of Murder Hornets!
Need some cuteness now, to offset such a foul subject:

Watching the Marxist Mob deface and topple our historical monuments, is both saddening and infuriating.
They must be stopped. They must be stopped and punished, because these monuments are not theirs to destroy. These monuments belong to all of us…past, present and future.

Yes, it’s a word. ‘Tittynope’ is a noun and refers to a small quantity of something left over.
Pronounced [TIT-ee-nope], tittynope could refer to a tasty morsel of pie or cake…or it could refer to the dregs or remains of something nasty and foul.
Used in a sentence:

President Trump’s speech tonight at Mount Rushmore will be one of the most important of his presidency. At a time when all of America-its values, its institutions, its history are being challenged by anti-American radicalism this is a key speech in stating the challenge.

Wheatie’s Words of the Day:
Pled vs. Pleaded
Both words are past tense of the verb Plead.
I was taught though, that Pled was the more correct past tense of Plead…similar to how ‘bled‘ is the past tense of ‘bleed‘…and that Pleaded was not exactly good grammar.
I was taught if used at all, that Pleaded was only to be used in more recent circumstances.
Example:
She pled for his innocence last week.
She pleaded for his innocence today.
However…Pled could also be used there:
She pled for his innocence today.
Lately I have noticed that Pleaded is being used more, almost to the exclusion of Pled. This has got to be another leftist plot to destroy our English language.
Just a quick note to let you know that – if you think this site has gotten slower lately, as the election approaches, it is NOT your imagination. The site is getting slower and slower, because EMBEDDED TWEETS are loading slower and slower.
I don’t know WHY they are loading slower and slower, but they are.
I finally had enough, and turned off scripts in my browser, so that I don’t see the full graphics of Tweets.
It is well within Twitter’s rights to choose IF and HOW MUCH it wants to serve tweet data to pages not its own. It may even limit data for ideological reasons, because that is a stated part of their policy – that they can limit their data going to sites based on THEIR (Twitter’s) policy toward content on those sites. Twitter has explicitly stated that it will even pass judgment on is own users, on Twitter, for content posted elsewhere, so passing judgment for TWITTER data posted elsewhere is simply to be expected.
To beat this slow-down, you need to TURN OFF SCRIPTS on this site, using whatever browser or privacy extensions you happen to be using. You will then have to click on URLs in Tweets to see them fully, in the same tab or a new tab. Pretty much like any other link.
Without scripts, your browser will likely load the TEXT of the tweet, but not the full contents of the Tweet, including pictures, videos, etc.
It is a small price to pay, for FAST LOADS and NO WEIRD UP-SCROLLING after the loading. That weird up-scrolling is due to the full loading of embedded Tweets. Turn off scripts and it is gone – but so are pictures in Tweets.
It’s a tough choice, but you may want to make it.
Meanwhile, consider Parler. Parler offers links that provide a fast view of a “Parley” in a new tab if one chooses to click the link.

Portmanteau is a noun that comes from the French words porter, meaning “to carry,” and manteau, meaning “mantle or cloak”, thus the plural of portmanteau is portmanteaux, following the French form for pluralization.

And if they get rid of the police…doesn’t that mean they are giving us OPEN SEASON on stupid people with No Bag Limit?

Wheatie’s Word of the Day:
Epic
The word, ‘Epic’, is a noun which comes from the Latin word epicus…and before that, from the Greek word epikos…which meant: a long story, tale or poem.
Over time, the word ‘Epic’ came to be used as an adjective…to mean “huge, grand or impressive”.
Used in a sentence:
The Democrats’ display of epic weapons-grade-stupidity is almost like they view it as an art form that they are trying to perfect.
