Nolte: James Clapper Admits to 'Spying' from Inside the Trump Campaign.

During a Tuesday appearance on the View, no less than the former Director of National

Intelligence (DNI) James Clapper described what was done by the Obama administration

to Donald's Trump campaign as "spying."

Although Clapper said he does not like the word "spying" (considering how the disclosure

of this spying has blown up in the Obama administration's face, who can blame him?), he still used the

word twice — because there is no other word.

Sounding rattled and defensive, even though he was among friends, Clapper, a left-wing

partisan who served as DNI during the Obama administration, attempted to spin the "spying"

into something that was for Trump's own good and the good of the country.

"With the informant business, well, the point here is the Russians," Clapper volunteered.

"Not spying on the campaign but what are the Russians doing?

And in a sense, unfortunately, what they were trying to do is protect our political system

and protect the campaign."

View co-host Joy Behar asked, "Trump … claims it's spying.

Other people say it's a whistleblower or informant — he says it's spying, it's

bigger than Watergate.

So I ask you, was the FBI spying on Trump's campaign?"

Again describing what happened as "spying," Clapper said the "spying" was done on

the Russians, not on the Trump campaign (as I will explain below, this is simply not true).

"No, they were not," Clapper replied.

"They were spying on, a term I don't particularly like, but on what the Russians were doing.

Trying to understand were the Russians infiltrating, trying to gain access, trying to gain leverage

or influence which is what they do."

It is fascinating watching the anti-Trump media attempt to hurl semantics as a means

to smear Trump as a liar for calling straight-up spying spying.

This social media back-and-forth between Aaron Blake, an anti-Trump activist for the far-left

Washington Post, and Fox News's Brit Hume, shows you just how foolish the media are willing

to look to pretend the Obama administration did not spy on the Trump campaign, even though

that is now a proven fact.

In utter desperation, and while hoping no one would notice the word "usually," Blake

foolishly tried to rescue himself with the dictionary:

What's more, Blake and Clapper attempting to spin idea that the Obama administration

was spying on the Trump campaign for "friendly" purposes is beyond laughable, and we know

this was not the case for the reasons Hume points out: the Trump campaign was never informed

of this counter-intelligence operation for the simple reason that this counter-intelligence

operation had been launched against Trump and his campaign.

Moreover, have the media and the intelligence community ever sounded more desperate and

dumb as they attempt to convince Trump he should be happy his campaign was spied on

by the Obama administration?

Obama's spying was not altruistic, it was the infamous insurance policy — there is

your motive.

Predictably, though, the establishment media and their confederates in the Deep State are

always more than willing to look stupid and petty in service to their precious Barry Obama.

But the American people are not going to buy this propaganda any more than they buy the

other nonsense sold of late by the fake news media.

FRIDAY FIRESTORM: Pres Trump Chastises Dems Over Their Unusual Spy Stance - Duration: 2:54.

FRIDAY FIRESTORM: Pres Trump Chastises Dems Over Their Unusual Spy Stance.

Our 45th President of the United States of America was awake bright and early this fantastic

Friday morning.

And in his usual style, he wanted to inform the American people of what is happening with

#Spygate.

In a series of three transparent tweets just hours ago, he discusses the conflicting stories

the Democrats are trying to lay down.

Common sense tells us that the truth is far from what the Democratic narrative is throwing

out there.

Additionally, POTUS asks us to check out Mollie Hemingway's interview on the Tucker Carlson

Tonight show last night.

It is completely worth viewing.

Moreover, Hemingway discloses exactly what is going on and what it means for the American

people regarding #Spygate.

Hold on to your seats, folks, it's going to be a bumpy ride for the Democrats and a

solemn time in our political history.

The bottom line, the previous administration spied on a competing party…all for political

gain.

We will probably hear the Democrats squeal all kinds of objections in the coming days.

But keep your eyes on the prize, which in this case, is the TRUTH.

"The Democrats are now alluding to the the concept that having an Informant placed in

an opposing party's campaign is different than having a Spy, as illegal as that may

be.

But what about an "Informant" who is paid a fortune and who "sets up" way earlier

than the Russian Hoax?

Can anyone even imagine having Spies placed in a competing campaign, by the people and

party in absolute power, for the sole purpose of political advantage and gain?

And to think that the party in question, even with the expenditure of far more money, LOST!

"Everyone knows there was a Spy, and in fact the people who were involved in the Spying

are admitting that there was a Spy…Widespread Spying involving multiple people."

Mollie Hemingway, The Federalist Senior Editor But the corrupt Mainstream Media hates this

monster story!"

Real Clear Politics assessed the interview and states "Mollie Hemingway said it is

a stunning revelation that the previous administration had an FBI informant with the Trump 2016 U.S.

presidential election.

The Federalist writer told Tucker Carlson the Department of Justice must be hiding a

really dangerous secret if they are willing to subvert authority and believe they are

above inquiry from the executive branch under which they serve or the Congress that funds

them."

De Niro Bans Trump From Every 'Nobu Restaurant, POTUS Gives Him Nasty Surprise - Duration: 5:53.

De Niro Bans Trump From Every 'Nobu Restaurant, POTUS Gives Him Nasty Surprise.

Robert De Niro's hatred of President Donald Trump erupted once again as he launched a

restaurant, and hotel in Spain called "Nobu," which is part of a worldwide chain he co-owns

with famous Japanese chef Nobuyuki Matsuhisa.

The aging actor exploded in a tirade, banning the president from every Nobu in the world.

Now, De Niro looks like a fool as Trump gave him a nasty surprise he won't forget.

Robert De Niro was once celebrated as one of the greatest actors in the world.

All that fame and celebrity went to his head, and at 74-years-old, he is consumed with rage

over Donald Trump as our president.

Every interview he gives includes De Niro losing his cool as he obsesses over Trump.

As Kellyanne Conway says, "He should pay rent to Trump for all that space he is taking

up in his head."

That's exactly what happened while De Niro was in Marabella, Spain, opening up another

"Nobu" hotel and restaurant.

Daily Mail reported, "The Taxi Driver legend, 74, spoke exclusively to MailOnline Robert

discussed his reluctance to retire, his marriage-like relationship with Chef Nobu and his strong

feelings on President Donald Trump, who he revealed would be barred from every Nobu restaurant

if he tried to enter."

De Niro said of Trump, "I don't care what he likes.

If he walked into a restaurant I was in, I'd walk out."

The expensive Nobu chain draws the biggest celebrities, and yes, the president has dined

at Nobu in the past.

Of course, it's pretty darn arrogant of De Niro to think Trump has any inclination

to dine at his restaurant now.

But that was just the start of a big brouhaha behind the scenes with his co-owner who happens

to be the world-famous chef that the Nobu chain is named after.

Nobuyuki was quick to refute De Niro during the interview, saying, "It's my dream

for Trump to sit next to Bob.

To make them sushi!"

What?

Yep, Nobuyuki owns the name "Nobu" and is the guy who inspired the chain of restaurants,

and he just slapped De Niro with that remark.

But that's not all.

The Raging Bull star got a nasty surprise this morning thanks to President Trump: Nobu

is a supporter of the president.

Only hours after De Niro banned Trump, his PR rep comes out and retracts the ban, and

the only person who could have instigated that move is Nobu.

The Hollywood Reporter writes, "Despite the Daily Mail saying that the president would

be 'barred from every Nobu restaurant if he tried to enter,' the actor's PR rep

says it's not true."

Referring to Nobu's comment that "It's my dream for Trump to sit next to Bob.

To make them sushi," the Hollywood Reporter added, "Looks like that could still happen,

because when THR reached out to De Niro's rep for comment, he said, 'Bob has not banned

anyone from dining at Nobu.'"

Regarding the Daily Mail's story, which has been picked up by dozens of media outlets

worldwide, he added, "I know what they wrote.

No one is banned."

Good for Chef Nobuyuki Matsuhisa.

He made sure his nutjob partner, De Niro, got the message that his crazed obsession

and hatred for our president isn't something he or his restaurants will endorse, and I

bet that made him furious.

We checked to see if De Niro gives Trump any credit for our booming economy with the unemployment

rate at 3.9%, the lowest level in over 20 years.

Or if De Niro sees Trump as doing anything "good" in the last 18 months.

No, De Niro just 4 weeks ago gave an interview at the screening of his Showtime documentary

series called The Fourth Estate, and his motive is to "get Trump impeached."

This film is about the New York Times that De Niro sees as the "bastion of truth,"

which is an incredibly ignorant statement.

"I'm not so much concerned about Republicans believing Trump's bellowing bullsh*t about

fake news.

They're not that stupid, most of them, but they're pretty f*cking stupid," De Niro

said.

"I'm very concerned about Republicans' gutless acquiescence to Trump dismissing facts

and creating his own alternate reality.

This will never, never be right."

De Niro added, "That's why I'm very grateful to the [New York Times] journalists

we're about to see and legitimate journalists everywhere who devote themselves to showing

us the truth."

De Niro's ignorance of the New York Times is shocking.

For the last year, their White House correspondent Maggie Haberman, featured heavily in De Niro's

film, has been knowingly reporting fake news straight from the Deep State rats.

It was just last week that the NYT had to admit Trump was right, he was spied on by

Barack Obama's FBI and DOJ.

Of course, they are still covering for the Deep State criminals helping them create a

new false narrative that the spies were really just "informants," so it wasn't really

spying.

Yeah, they can call the spies whatever they want, they were still spies.

They use word games like reporting "no spies within the Trump campaign," because the

spies didn't get hired by the Trump campaign.

See how they twist the facts?

And these are the bald-faced liars De Niro is backing as agents of truth?

For Robert De Niro and his cohorts in the mainstream media and Hollywood, a reckoning

is coming.

I'd love to be a fly on the wall as De Niro realizes his series The Fourth Estate will

go down in the history books as an example of the scourage of fake news in America.

Poor Bobby De Niro, he won't be remembered for The Godfather, he'll be remembered as

an ignorant duped tool of the Deep State swamp rats in Washington, D.C.

Mapping Earthquakes in Northern California Part 3 - Duration: 3:34.

In the previous video, you learned how to download data from the Northern California

Earthquake Data Center.

In this video, you will learn how to add California as a basemap layer.

In ArcMap, open a blank map document.

The easiest way to add data is to use the catalog window.

You'll typically see the catalog window pinned to the right side of the screen.

If you don't see it, just click the button with the yellow file cabinet icon.

When you first open the catalog window, you may not see the project folder right away.

If you don't see it, you can add it using the connect to folder button.

In this step, it is essential that you select your primary workspace folder to add it to

the Catalog Window.

When ready, click OK.

Once you add your workspace folder to the Catalog Window, expand the folder by clicking

on the plus sign.

You should see your three subfolders inside.

Expand the original folder to view the contents.

Add the states and provinces layer to the map.

Zoom to the State of California and surrounding areas.

On the Tools toolbar, click the Select Features tool.

The icon looks like a white arrow over a blue and white square.

Then click on California.

When you have a feature selected in ArcMap, you have the option to export it as a new

shapefile.

With California selected, right-click on the states and provinces layer in the Table of

Contents.

Then Select, Data, then Export Data.

When the Export Data window opens, click the yellow file folder icon and browse to your

Working folder.

Next to Save as type, choose Shapefile.

Name the file "California" and click Save, then click OK.

When ArcMap asks if you want to add the exported data as a map layer, click Yes.

The California layer gets added to the Table of Contents.

On the map, California remains selected.

Clear the selection by clicking on the Clear Selected Features button.

Your map document now has two layers, one representing the State of California and one

that currently displays the surrounding States and Mexico.

Add the shapefile that contains the county boundaries to the map.

You may get a Geographic Coordinate System Warning.

Check the box that says, Don't warn me again in this session, and click Close.

Use the direct selection tool to select Humboldt County.

The California Layer may also get selected.

Don't worry about it.

When you export, it only applies to the layer on which you right-click.

With Humboldt County selected, export the data as a new shapefile and save it to your

Working folder.

Call the new shapefile "Humboldt_County."

Add the Humboldt County shapefile to the map.

When done, remove the layer that contains all the county boundaries for the United States.

You should end up with three layers in your Table of Contents, one for Humboldt County,

one for California, and one for the United States and Mexico.

Set your map document properties to store relative paths.

Then save the map document to your project folder.

Call the map document "California Earthquakes."

In the next video, you will learn how to add XY data.

Mapping Earthquakes in Northern California Part 9 - Duration: 3:30.

In the previous video, you learned how to create an inset map.

In this video, you will learn how to insert a map title.

There are many conventional elements recognized by the map-reader.

However, in this activity, you will only need to add a few to the map.

In the next few steps, you will add a map title, a north arrow, a scale bar, and a legend.

As a matter of courtesy, you will also add an acknowledgment to Natural Earth, the Northern

California Earthquake Data Center (NCEDC), and the United States Census Bureau.

When you have multiple data frames on a map, you need to add map elements to each one independently.

Right-click on the data frame titled California Earthquakes and select Activate.

The main map should now have a dotted outline.

The dotted outline indicates which data frame is active.

In a previous activity, you learned how to add toolbars to ArcMap.

Right-click on the empty gray area and select Draw to add the Draw toolbar.

When you first open the toolbar, it may appear floating above the map.

You may dock the toolbar on top to keep it out of the way.

On the Draw toolbar, select the tool the looks like a letter A. Then, click somewhere near

the top of the map to add a map title.

Enter the title, "California Earthquakes, 2017."

When done, press the Enter key.

Double-click the title to edit.

The Properties window appears.

Here, you can edit the text if needed.

Click the button that says Change Symbol.

On the Symbol Selector window, change the typeface to Garamond.

Change the font size to 100.

Click OK when you are ready.

Then, click OK again.

You may need to move the title and adjust its position on the map.

By default, the text does not have a background.

The lack of a background can make the text harder to read when there are map features

underneath.

Sometimes it is helpful to add a title bar across the top.

On the Draw toolbar, select the rectangle tool.

Then click and drag to draw a rectangle across the top of the map.

Any new feature you draw gets placed on top.

Right-click on the title bar and select Order, then Send Backward.

The title bar gets set under the map title.

Just like the text, the title bar also has properties you can edit.

Right-click on the title bar and select Properties.

Change the fill color to dark navy and the outline color to no color.

On the size and position tab, change the width to 24 and the height to 1.75.

Change the X value to 0.

Change the Y value to 16.25.

When you are ready, click OK.

Go back and change the color of the title text to a 10% light gray, so that it will

contrast with the color of the title background.

You may also need to reposition the title.

The size and position tab is an accurate way to do this.

Take a moment to save your map document before moving on to the next step.

In the next video, you will learn how to insert a map legend.

Mapping Earthquakes in Northern California Part 5 - Duration: 3:00.

In the previous video, you learned how to add

XY data.

In this video, you will learn how to change the map projection of the data frame.

The Earth is spherical, yet maps still managed to represent the Earth using a flat plane.

Map projections make this possible.

A map projection is the geometric transformation of the round earth onto a flat plane using

mathematical equations.

In a later chapter, you will learn more about map projections.

What you need to understand now is that there are many different map projections.

The one you choose will change the shape and appearance of features on the map.

In this step, you will change the map projection for the data frame to make the State of California

appear closer to its actual size and shape on Earth.

In ArcMap, zoom out until you see the entire continental United States.

This view will help you to understand the difference in appearance between projections.

Open the data frame properties.

If you will recall from a previous activity, in the Table of Contents, the word Layers

appears above the four map layers.

The name consistently leads to confusion.

This item on the Table of Contents is not a layer.

It represents the data frame.

Access the properties for the data frame by right-clicking on the word Layers in the Table

of Contents.

Select, Properties from the contextual menu.

When the Data Frame Properties window opens, click the General tab.

Change the name of the data frame to something more descriptive, such as "California Earthquakes."

Click Apply.

You may get a warning.

ArcMap is telling you that the data frame coordinate system does not match some of the

layers in the Table of Contents.

Since we are only using it for display purposes, this is fine.

Check the box that says, Don't warn me again in this session, and click Yes to close the

warning.

Select the Coordinate System tab.

Scroll down until you see the Projected Coordinate Systems folder.

Expand the folder, then, expand the Continental subfolder.

Locate the North America subfolder.

Within the North America folder, select North America Lambert Conformal Conic.

Then, click OK.

You should notice an immediate change to the size and shape of the United States.

The Lambert Conformal Conic projection works well to make the U.S. appear closer to the

way it does on Earth.

Zoom back into your earthquake layer and save your map document before moving on to the

next step.

In the next video, you will learn how to represent earthquake magnitude using graduated symbols.

-------------------------------------------

Mapping Earthquakes in Northern California Part 7 - Duration: 3:44.

In the previous video, you learned how to represent earthquake magnitude using graduated

symbols.

In this video, you will learn how to change the map size and position.

When you first begin to design a map layout, you should always determine the size of the

page on which you will be working.

In this activity, you are making a poster-sized map of California earthquakes in 2017.

The poster size will be 24 inches by 18 inches.

You will include a main map of California and an inset map of Humboldt County.

By default, ArcMap sets the page size to 8.5 inches by 11 inches.

This setting is rarely acceptable, both professionally and in courses taught at Humboldt State University.

In this step, you will change the page size.

Then, you will change the data frame size and position on the page.

From the main menu, select View, then Layout view.

The data frame window immediately changes to show the page size and the data frame position

on the page.

Across the top and along the left you will see a ruler indicating the height and width

of the page.

Currently, the page size is 8.5 inches by 11 inches, which is the default setting in

ArcMap.

The Layout toolbar may also appear floating above the map.

You may dock the toolbar on top.

It is important to understand each of the tools in the Layout toolbar.

These tools are only active when ArcMap is in Layout View.

On the left of the toolbar, you'll see a couple of tools for zooming in and out of

the map layout.

The icon looks like a magnifying glass over a page.

These tools are sometimes confused with the Zoom In and Zoom Out tool you previously worked

with.

They work in a similar fashion.

Instead of zooming in and out of the data, the zoom tools on the Layout toolbar zoom

in and out of the page layout.

Likewise, the pan tool on the layout toolbar will pan across the page layout and will not

move the data.

Next to the Pan tool is the Zoom to Whole Page tool.

This tool is handy for quickly viewing the entire page layout.

Take a moment to experiment with each of these tools before moving on to the next step.

Next, you will change the page size.

From the main menu, select File, then Page and Print Setup.

Uncheck the box next to Use Printer Paper Settings.

For the Width, enter 24.

For the Height, enter 18.

When you are ready, click OK.

The page is now a large poster size of 24 inches by 18 inches.

You can tell because the ruler along the top and the sides have changed to show the new

dimensions.

However, the data frame is still the default size.

To change the data frame size, open the data frame properties and navigate to the Size

and Position tab.

Change the width and the height values so that they match the page size.

Under Position, change the X and the Y to 0.

Navigate to the Frame tab.

Change the Border to a thickness of 4.0 and change the border color to dark navy.

Change the background color to light cyan.

When you are ready, click OK.

On the Table of Contents, right-click on your earthquake layer and select Zoom to Layer.

You should now have a poster size map of the earthquakes in California.

In the next video, you will learn how to create an inset map.

For more infomation >> Mapping Earthquakes in Northern California Part 7 - Duration: 3:44.

-------------------------------------------

Mapping Earthquakes in Northern California Part 10 - Duration: 4:06.

In the previous video, you learned how to insert

a map title.

In this video, you will learn how to insert a map legend.

A map legend, sometimes called a map key, helps to explain the symbology on the map.

Not all maps need a map legend, as some simple features such as water bodies and roads may

be self-explanatory.

However, maps that contain thematic data, such as this earthquake map, will need a map

legend.

From the main menu, select Insert, then Legend.

The Legend Wizard appears.

By default, ArcMap will try to add all your layers to the map legend.

In this instance, you only need the earthquake data.

Click the button that has the double arrow pointing left to remove all of the layers.

Then, under Map Layers, select the earthquake layer and click the button with a single arrow

pointing right.

When you are ready, click Next.

Never use the word "Legend," or a similar word, as a legend title.

Your map readers already know that they are looking at a legend.

Using this word is redundant, and it will also make you look unprofessional.

When choosing a legend title, utilize a descriptive title or leave it out altogether.

In this instance, a descriptive title would be useful for explaining the meaning of the

different sized circles.

Change the title to "Earthquake Magnitude."

Change the font to Garamond to match the style of the map title.

When you are ready, click Next.

Add a 1.0 point border, a gray 10% background, and a gray 50% drop shadow.

Change the gap to 5.

When you are ready, click Next.

The next window on the legend does not apply to our data.

Go ahead and click Next.

The last window on the Legend Wizard also allows you to change the space between the

legend title and the legend items.

In most cases, the default settings here work fine.

When you are ready, click Finish.

Your legend will appear near the center of the map.

As a general rule, anything placed near the top of the map will rise in the visual hierarchy.

Secondary map elements, such as north arrows, scale bars, and legends should be placed somewhere

in the lower half of the map if possible.

In this instance, you may consider placing the legend in the Pacific Ocean, just to the

right of the inset map.

The legend still needs a little more work.

The magnitude values have too many decimal places, and you should remove the layer name.

Right-click on the legend and select Properties.

On the Legend Properties window, navigate to the Items tab.

On the lower left, click the button that says Style.

There are many different legend styles from which to choose.

However, the second style down on the left will work to remove the layer name from the

legend.

When you are ready, click OK, Then click OK again.

The legend style updates, but the legend labels still have too many decimal places.

To correct this issue, you will have to open the layer properties for the earthquake data

in the Table of Contents under the California Earthquakes data frame.

Then, navigate to the Symbology tab.

Near the center of the Symbology tab, right-click on the word Label and select Format Label.

When the Number Format window opens, enter 1 for the number of decimal places.

When you are ready, click OK, then click OK again.

You may need to adjust the size of the legend labels.

Return to the Items tab on the Legend Properties and change the font size to 12.

Take a moment to save your map document before moving on to the next step.

In the next video, you will learn how to insert a north arrow, a scale bar, and acknowledgments.
