“I have spoken to executives with eight different teams that are at the very least monitoring Tom Brady’s free agency,” Darlington said, according to Yahoo Sports.
“They are going down this list having internal discussions right now saying, ‘Is this the right fit for our organization?’” he added.
Although Darlington did not name any specific teams, Sports Illustrated reported some of the teams linked to Brady include the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Tennessee Titans, the Las Vegas Raiders, the San Francisco 49ers and the Los Angeles Chargers.
Brady could, of course, re-sign with the Patriots, where he has played his entire career.
As NBC Sports Boston analyst Tom Curran explained, it is likely Brady will stay in New England, where he and coach Bill Belichick have won six Super Bowls together.
Curran also did not eliminate the possibility of Brady signing with either the Titans or the 49ers.

westernjournal--2020-03-04--FISA ‘Two-Hop’ Loophole Could Have Resulted in Trump Himself Being Wiretapped

Could President Donald Trump have been wiretapped during the 2016 campaign ?
Many conservatives think the answer is “ yes , ” but what is frightening is that the surveillance very well could have been completely legal under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act .
How is this possible ?
According to a commentary by Sharyl Attkisson for The Hill , such surveillance would have been legal under the “ two-hop ” rule .
What this means is that not only could the FBI listen in on a person who is under a surveillance warrant , like former Trump campaign aide @ @ @ @ @ @ @ FBI could also listen in on any phone conversations by those with whom Page was in touch or by those who were talking to people Page was talking to .

As noted in a 2016 report in Spectrum magazine , published by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers , a study by Stanford University ’ s Computer Security Laboratory revealed that in some cases , as many as 25,000 people could be under surveillance due to a version of “ two-hop ” rule that involved contacts over a period of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the National Security Agency and was imposed after the revelations by Edward Snowden .
The Stanford study also noted that under an old rule put in place after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11 , 2001 , the NSA was allowed to collect data on people three “ hops ” from a suspect over a five-year period .
The number of people under surveillance per that rule could reach as high as 65,000 on the second “ hop ” and up to 20 million on the third “ hop.
” While the NSA @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the results of the study show the potential of abuse from the “ two-hop ” rule is considerable .

Democrats are so afraid that they will repeat the mistake of 1972 — nominating a radical who can’t get elected — that they are now making the same mistake they made in 1968 — alienating the young people they need to win the election.
It’s not just that Biden beat Sanders on Super Tuesday; it’s how he did so.
After months of debate and dialogue, Sanders had an unmistakable lead.
Then the Empire closed in and took it all away. South Carolina Rep. James Clyburn endorsed Biden and the mechanized dominos fell into place.
The former VP won the first primary of his life in South Carolina and, in short choreographed order, Klobuchar, Buttigieg, and a host of local officials came out for Biden, marching in lockstep. As they trampled Bernie, they trashed the passionate dreams of millions of Sanders’ followers.
But the machine will do Biden little good in November if he is the nominee. These voters are already part of the Democratic base.
It is the millennial voters who will determine Biden’s fate should he secure the nomination, and these are precisely the Sanders supporters who are increasingly shocked and outraged by Biden’s electoral manipulation.
How is Biden to appeal to these millennials after defeating their candidate in the primary, stymying their beloved revolution with its glittering promises?
In 1968, the Democratic machine nominated another vice president, Hubert H. Humphrey, even though he never entered any primaries. Anger overflowed and led millions of young Democrats to stay at home and let Nixon be elected.

How can he then turn it around in November?
Particularly if Trump’s ratings continue their dramatic improvement, it will be hard to get them out for Biden.
So Joe’s victory may turn out to be Pyrrhic after all.
Can Trump beat Biden? In a heartbeat.

Country music stars are heartbroken and resolved to move forward after tornadoes tore through Nashville and central Tennessee in the early morning hours on Tuesday.
Residents and cleanup crews are working to assess the disaster, which leveled major buildings and homes in East Nashville neighborhoods.
Dolly Parton, known for her longstanding history of responding with generosity and philanthropy in times of crisis, took to Twitter to offer her condolences.

“We had a lot of damage out in our area, I know a lot of Nashville was just devastated with the storms,” Parton said. “And I just wanted all of you to know that we are all with you and hope that your family is OK.”
Tim McGraw posted a photo of a famed “I Believe In Nashville” mural that was miraculously left standing even though the rest of the popular music venue and bar, The Basement East, was heavily damaged.
The iconic “I Believe In Nashville” murals started popping up after the big flood ten years ago. It’s stood as a symbol of resilience and togetherness.

Underwood said her husband had to wake the boys up at 2 a.m. and move everyone downstairs into a safe room to wait out the storm.

If you didn’t know it by now, former Vice President Joe Biden is somewhat of a gaffe machine.
The Democratic presidential candidate has grabbed headlines in recent weeks for making a number of bizarre statements and for, at times, being generally unaware of his surroundings.
But those gaffes are just the most recent in a decades-long career that has been riddled with head-scratching verbal blunders.
Thankfully for those of us who enjoy watching them, President Donald Trump shared something of a greatest hits compilation of Biden highlights (or lowlights) from Fox News on his Twitter page this week.

In recent weeks and months, Biden has at times appeared bewildered, and has even grappled with basic sentence structures.
Last week, he asked voters in South Carolina to consider him for the United States Senate.
Days later, he introduced a Senate candidate as the “next president.”
Biden also claimed at the Democratic debate in South Carolina that 150 million Americans have been killed by gun violence since 2007.

The gaffe came just moments after the presidential hopeful attempted to ward off questions about his intellectual acuity.
Trump has made an issue of Biden’s mental fitness recently, and rightfully so.
Joe Biden is not a senile next door neighbor or a family member suffering from worsening lapses in memory, judgment or both.
If you’ve ever watched a loved one slowly lose their cognitive abilities due to dementia or Alzheimer’s disease, you know there is nothing humorous about it.
But the former vice president, despite his nickname on social media, is not “Uncle Joe.”
Biden has been part of the American political landscape for decades, and his mental capacity undeniably seems to have diminished, especially in the last several years.
His recent gaffes are a little more alarming than those earlier in his career.
Asking a disabled person to “stand up” from their wheelchair in public, or introducing former President Obama as “Barack America,” are perfect fodder for jokes at Biden’s expense.

Biden is a serious candidate for the presidency. If he is indeed unfit to serve as commander in chief, it is time for those closest to him to intervene.
After Biden’s running-for-Senate gaffe, even former White House physician Ronny Jackson questioned whether the former vice president might need cognitive testing.

“Just because we haven’t seen that childhood disease, doesn’t mean we want to trust our luck and roll the dice with it,” he said. “And also, it’s not just the children in the schools, but there are also adults that may be more at risk.”

If Tuesday night was bad for Bernie Sanders, it was worse for “the squad.”
The hard-left progressives who have become media darlings thanks to the photogenic savvy of New York’s Sanders-supporting Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez came up empty as their preferred candidates failed in both Rep. Ilhan Omar’s Minnesota and Rep. Ayanna Pressley’s Massachusetts.
But Omar’s failure was the headline.
The one-time refugee from Somalia who now commands outsized media attention as a first-term congresswoman from Minneapolis is an enthusiastic supporter of Sanders, and has told her followers the self-described socialist from Vermont would “fight against Western imperialism.”
But when push came to shove on Super Tuesday, Omar’s enthusiasm couldn’t produce a victory for Sanders in Minnesota — thanks, no doubt, to Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar’s decision Monday to end her own campaign for the presidency and throw her backing to former Vice President Joe Biden.
The result? Minnesota, a state where Biden had a “minuscule state operation” went for Biden and against Sanders by a decisive margin of about 39 percent to 30 percent of the vote, according to the online Minnesota news outlet MinnPost.
The Washington Examiner’s Tiana Lowe summarized the situation nicely:
“Since getting elected to the Minnesota statehouse in 2016, Omar has been lionized by the media, and after winning her snap bid for Keith Ellison’s congressional seat in 2018, she’s been nothing short of revered. After suffering a heart attack in October of last year, Sanders relied on the endorsement of Omar and fellow socialist superstar Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, with much of the political press attributing his rebound in the polls to their support.
“Despite months of campaigning, Omar couldn’t put him over the top in the state or in her home turf. Biden beat Sanders in Hennepin County, which houses Minneapolis and Omar’s district. He also won Ramsey County, which includes the other Twin City of St. Paul, where the Monday night rally with Omar was held.”
That’s failure by any definition — and social media was watching:
Damn, Ilham Omar couldn’t lock it down for Bernie in Minnesota. — Katie Pavlich (@KatiePavlich) March 4, 2020
She sealed the deal for Biden. She’s a terrible person and Minnesotans are embarrassed….finally.. — SonofGary ?? (@GarySonsof) March 4, 2020
When the state that elected Jesse Ventura and Al Franken reject Bernie Sanders, that should tell you something. — Stosh126 (@stosh126) March 4, 2020
Bernie paraded Ilhan Omar around the state and Biden didn’t even look at it. If Biden wins Minnesota this is going to be especially sweet. https://t.co/eTdU9JVmAF — Seth Mandel (@SethAMandel) March 4, 2020
This one, from conservative author and commentator David Reaboi, had high hopes for what the November election could bring — four more years for President Donald Trump and a victory over Omar by GOP challenger Dalia al-Aqidi, whose family came to the United States from Saddam Hussein’s Iraq in 1988.
Ilhan Omar is an electoral loser. She’s scandal-plagued and a headache for her constituents. @realDonaldTrump will take Minnesota, and @Dalia4Congress will oust Omar. https://t.co/n8gCqP07Gg — David Reaboi (@davereaboi) March 4, 2020
“The squad” — Ocasio-Cortez, Omar, Pressley and Michigan’s foul-mouthed Rep. Rashida Tlaib — might be the most overhyped political development of the 116th Congress. While the media love to highlight every aspect of their lives, the actual political strength of its members has always been questionable.
Do you think the media exaggerated the political strength of the "squad" members? Yes No

After Tuesday night, where Omar failed to deliver success to Sanders in a state where he lost to an opponent who’d barely campaigned, that question is answered.
Combined with Pressley’s inability to help Sen. Elizabeth Warren win her own home state of Massachusetts against Biden on Tuesday, it’s clear the squad’s power is greatly exaggerated. And that could be the beginning of the end of the constant presence of these four annoying women in the public eye.
In politics, endless praise in a left-leaning media is one thing, but it’s no substitute for actual performance at the ballot box. Nothing succeeds like success, of course, but nothing hurts like a weakness exposed.

westernjournal--2020-03-04--Media Fawn Over Biden’s Super Tuesday Wins, Worry Sanders’ Base Won’t Come Out for Nominee

I never pictured having too much hesitancy seeing socialism get electorally thrashed and watching media talking heads loving it .
And yet , there I was Super Tuesday night , strangely of two minds as most of our mainstream media outlets celebrated the Lazarus-like resurrection of Joeseph Robinette Biden .
On one hand , Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders is an extremely dangerous man .
I know Trump fans were pretty excited about the prospect of running against the democratic socialist in November during that one week when we all agreed he was going to be the nominee .
To that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ desperately wanted to run against Donald Trump in 2016 .
It might be easier for Republicans to beat Bernie .
That said , his nomination would also increase the chances a man who openly praised Cuba during a Democratic debate and who ’ s had kind words for every tinpot Marxist dictator who ’ s ever taken over a nation would be in residency at the White House .
Sanders getting thumped ( along with Sanders Lite , the equally dangerous Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts ) is a victory for baseball , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Seeing the barely contained glee on the faces of every major-network news anchor and pundit Tuesday night , then , should have made me obscenely happy .
Instead , I was left wondering why they were obscenely happy that Joe Biden won nine states , including huge upsets in Massachusetts and Minnesota .
TRENDING : Warren 's Rough Night Made Even Worse as Tulsi Gabbard Piles on the Insults The mood of the night was best exemplified by James Carville making an appearance on MSNBC .
I know , I know — @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a voice of objectivity .
This is a guy who ’ s been a vocal , tellin ’ -it-like-it-is-Cajun vocal moderate liberal Democrat since he helped Bill Clinton get elected in 1992 .
What am I supposed to expect out of his election night analysis ?
Perhaps not that Democratic House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn “ saved the Democratic Party ” by endorsing Joe Biden before the South Carolina primary .
In his appearance , Carville became the latest to magically attribute this single endorsement to literally everything that happened in South Carolina @ @ @ @ @ @ @ That guy literally saved the Democratic Party , ” Carville said after giving Clyburn a military salute .
“ I think we ’ re going to see obviously Bloomberg and Warren are not long for this world .
And I think what we might be starting to see , and I ’ d like someone on the panel to weigh in on this , we might see Democrats starting to ask Sanders to , ‘ look let ’ s don ’ t drag this thing out any more than we have to.
’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the general election .
They want to get on to defeating Donald Trump .
And I think Sanders showing tonight , hardly any showing with the African-Americans , our most loyal constituency , and our most exciting new constituency , and that is these educated white women — he showed nothing .
And if we ’ re going to beat Donald Trump , we can ’ t be lollygagging around here much longer because it seems like the party is making a decision.
” It ’ s an interesting take and one that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Why , precisely , did Clyburn save the Democratic Party ?
What did he save it from ?
The answer seems to be he saved it from losing another presidential election .
Why would Bernie lose a presidential election ?
Talking about stuff like that doesn ’ t seem to be Carville ’ s bag .
RELATED : Ocasio-Cortez Suffers Rough Super Tuesday as Her Candidates Struggle Against Establishment The barely concealed ebullience on MSNBC ’ s set is probably best exemplified by stats geek Steve Kornacki , who gave off the air @ @ @ @ @ @ @ stronger than espresso : Remember how excited everyone was in November 2016 when it was Donald Trump on the receiving end of all of this surprise electoral manna ?
No ?
Perhaps my hesitancy could best be summed up by a back-and-forth on CNN where the panel discussed young voters ’ preference for Sanders and whether they would walk away from the party come general election time .
Jake Tapper , in one of the more sober moments of the night , noted this : “ But that schism , the idea that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ love Biden , is one that actually potentially bodes ill for the Democratic nominee .
Because one of those guys probably is going to win .
But where do those other voters go for ?
” “ Or do they go ?
” Dana Bash said .
“ I mean , that was the question that got answered in a negative way for Hillary Clinton four years ago .
Because you had the same generational divide in 2016 , and a lot of those voters were so disaffected that they stayed home.
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ former Virginia Gov .
Terry McAuliffe , a corporate establishment type , expressing extreme concern over the fact that , “ when Pete [ Buttigieg ] got out yesterday , you know , Sanders called him corporate establishment .
That is not the way to build and unify this party.
” There were moments during the night where members of various panels would touch upon the fact that some voters found socialism repellent .
They never really touched on socialism being repellent .
There ’ s a big difference between those two .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ presidential challenger to go up on a debate stage and offer qualified praise for Castro ’ s Cuba .
He refused to back down from openly supporting Nicaragua ’ s Daniel Ortega , another murderous thug of the left .
His fiscal policies are appalling and unsustainable .
Nobody was worried about that .
They were worried about party unity .
This wasn ’ t about principles , just that the party was drifting to the left faster than the electorate wanted .
This was about getting someone who could beat Donald Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Democrat talking heads that dragged out for election nights don ’ t get why Bernie Sanders ’ brand of Marxism is so unelectable , they haven ’ t been paying attention for the last century or so .
The Democratic Party had better hope that Joe Biden gets it .
If not , it ’ s not going to matter much who ’ s on the top of the ticket this fall .

Seeing the barely contained glee on the faces of every major-network news anchor and pundit Tuesday night, then, should have made me obscenely happy. Instead, I was left wondering why they were obscenely happy that Joe Biden won nine states, including huge upsets in Massachusetts and Minnesota.
It wasn’t hard to guess.

“That guy literally saved the Democratic Party,” Carville said after giving Clyburn a military salute.
“I think we’re going to see obviously Bloomberg and Warren are not long for this world. And I think what we might be starting to see, and I’d like someone on the panel to weigh in on this, we might see Democrats starting to ask Sanders to, ‘look let’s don’t drag this thing out any more than we have to.’

And if we’re going to beat Donald Trump, we can’t be lollygagging around here much longer because it seems like the party is making a decision.”
It’s an interesting take and one that requires a little bit of processing. Why, precisely, did Clyburn save the Democratic Party? What did he save it from?
The answer seems to be he saved it from losing another presidential election. Why would Bernie lose a presidential election? Talking about stuff like that doesn’t seem to be Carville’s bag.
(To be fair, Carville previously struck back at Sanders’ accusation that he was a political hack by saying, “That’s exactly who the f— I am! I am a political hack! I am not an ideologue. I am not a purist. He thinks it’s a pejorative. I kinda like it! At least I’m not a communist.” This, however, seemed to be more out of irritation with the Vermont senator than out of any great disdain for Marxism.)
The barely concealed ebullience on MSNBC’s set is probably best exemplified by stats geek Steve Kornacki, who gave off the air of a guy who maybe had something stronger than espresso:
.@SteveKornacki on Joe Biden leading in Minnesota returns: “If you had polled Minnesota two weeks ago, I’m not sure Biden would have been getting a single delegate out of the state.” #TrackingKornacki pic.twitter.com/BXhWlyWCjD — MSNBC (@MSNBC) March 4, 2020
Remember how excited everyone was in November 2016 when it was Donald Trump on the receiving end of all of this surprise electoral manna? No?
Perhaps my hesitancy could best be summed up by a back-and-forth on CNN where the panel discussed young voters’ preference for Sanders and whether they would walk away from the party come general election time.
Jake Tapper, in one of the more sober moments of the night, noted this: “But that schism, the idea that younger people love Sanders and older people love Biden, is one that actually potentially bodes ill for the Democratic nominee. Because one of those guys probably is going to win. But where do those other voters go for?”
“Or do they go?” Dana Bash said. “I mean, that was the question that got answered in a negative way for Hillary Clinton four years ago. Because you had the same generational divide in 2016, and a lot of those voters were so disaffected that they stayed home.”
Later in the clip, we have former Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe, a corporate establishment type, expressing extreme concern over the fact that, “when Pete [Buttigieg] got out yesterday, you know, Sanders called him corporate establishment. That is not the way to build and unify this party.”
There were moments during the night where members of various panels would touch upon the fact that some voters found socialism repellent. They never really touched on socialism being repellent. There’s a big difference between those two.
Bernie Sanders is the first major Democratic presidential challenger to go up on a debate stage and offer qualified praise for Castro’s Cuba. He refused to back down from openly supporting Nicaragua’s Daniel Ortega, another murderous thug of the left. His fiscal policies are appalling and unsustainable.
Nobody was worried about that. They were worried about party unity. This wasn’t about principles, just that the party was drifting to the left faster than the electorate wanted. This was about getting someone who could beat Donald Trump.
If the liberal media and the Democrat talking heads that dragged out for election nights don’t get why Bernie Sanders’ brand of Marxism is so unelectable, they haven’t been paying attention for the last century or so.
The Democratic Party had better hope that Joe Biden gets it. If not, it’s not going to matter much who’s on the top of the ticket this fall.
