{familysecuritymatters.org} ~ President liar-nObama is on his way out, and he's directed an investigation into Russian influence in our November 2016 election. Needless to say, liar-n Obama didn't feel it necessary to investigate the liar-Clinton Foundation and the uranium sales to the Russians which benefitted the Kremlin... The bottom line is that the liar-Hillary Clinton loss in November had nothing to do with the Russians, other than her stupid reset button. The liar- Clinton loss had everything to do with a failed liar-nObama administration and a pathetic presidential candidate who had no message - and actually said she'd continue the failing policies of liar-nObama. And right now, one of those failed policies has evidenced itself once again. As reported by Fox News, "An internal report blames staffers at a Veterans Affairs hospital in Florida for leaving the body of a deceased veteran to decompose in a shower for nine hours and then trying to cover it up... http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/detail/let-me-make-myself-freaking-clear-this-is-personal?f=must_reads

Top Democrat Caught In $2 MILLION Bribery Scheme, Trump Prepares to Investigate
{angrypatriotmovement.com} ~ A Davis County prosecutor is demanding to know why two federal agencies backed away from an investigation into whether one of the most prominent liberal senators in our government took a $2 million bribe... The Davis County Prosecutor, Troy Rawlings, said a $2 million cashier’s check was drawn at a St. George bank on November 5, 2010. Rawlings wants to know why both the Justice Department and the FBI stepped away from the investigation linked to the then Senate majority leader Harry dinky-Reid, Breitbart reports. The $2 million cashier’s check was then reportedly shipped via FedEx to a Los Angeles attorney. The attorney represented a Full Tilt Poker business based in Ireland... http://www.angrypatriotmovement.com/dem-caught-in-bribery-scheme/

The Election Results Deniers
by Roger Aronoff
{aim.org} ~ It is becoming clear that the opposition to Donald Trump becoming president is not letting up. The latest effort is focused on the conspiracy theory that hackers, working for the Russian government... seized emails and other documents from the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and entities connected to the Republican National Committee, but only leaked those related to the DNC, in order to help Donald Trump win the presidency. Remember the outrage in the media when Donald Trump refused to say that he would automatically accept the outcome of the election? During the third of three presidential debates between Trump and liar-Hillary Clinton, Fox News Channel’s Chris Wallace asked Trump if he would honor the results of the election if he lost. “I will look at it at the time. I’m not looking at it now. What I’ve seen is so bad,” Trump replied. “What I’m saying is I will tell you at the time…I’ll keep you in suspense.”...
Federal judge shoots down
“Hamilton Electors” on injunction
by Ed Morrissey
{hotair.com} ~ “Part of me thinks this is really a political stunt to prevent Mr. Trump from being president,” federal judge Wiley Daniel remarked during a hearing on a motion by rogue electors to overturn state law binding them to the choice of the voters... Upon further reflection, Judge Daniel ruled that it’s entirely a political stunt to overturn the results of this particular election. No dice, Daniel ruled: However, the “Hamilton Electors” say they’re not quite done. They will appeal Daniel’s ruling in order to get a judicial precedent that will free all members of the Electoral College to vote for whomever they please: It’s worth noting that Colorado voted for liar-Hillary Clinton, not Donald Trump, so these electors aren’t taking anything away from the man who won the Electoral College vote on Election Night... http://hotair.com/archives/2016/12/13/federal-judge-shoots-down-hamilton-electors-on-injunction/?utm_source=hadaily&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=nl

Now Soros Claiming Russia Connection
To German Invader Rape Gangs
by Rick Wells
{rickwells.us} ~ If the question is who is more evil, corrupt and less trustworthy, Vladimir Putin or George Soros, it’s not even close for many Americans... Although the Soros people have successfully rooted themselves deeply inside our government, they haven’t done so in a vacuum. We know who and what they and George Soros are. While he’s no Donald Trump, Putin is a strong nationalist. In many ways he is less of a threat to our freedom and global peace and stability, despite his KGB background, than George Soros and a much more savory individual. One Soros mouthpiece, identified as an “expert,” their way of assigning undue validity to the globalist tripe they spew, is advancing the recent trend of portraying Russia as a boogeyman in wild leftist conspiracy theories. The propagandist, Gustav Gressel, works for the Soros-funded European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR), an organization focused on advancing world government and the destruction of independent nations... http://rickwells.us/now-soros-claiming-russia-connection-german-invader-rape-gangs/

The Left's Never-Ending War
by Caroline Glick
{truthrevolt.org} ~ The push among the American Left to discredit the results of last month’s presidential election entered a new phase last Friday with the White House’s announcement that outgoing US President Barack liar-nObama has ordered US intelligence agencies to review evidence of Russian hacking in last month’s elections on behalf of President-elect Donald Trump.
The investigation itself is unlikely to lead to any conclusive results. The FBI, which is responsible for carrying out this sort of investigation, saw no evidence that Russian hacking was aimed specifically at assisting Trump’s campaign against Democratic nominee liar-Hillary Clinton.
Despite this, liar-nObama has chosen to make the probe the top priority of US intelligence agencies.
He urged them to finish their investigation before he leaves office. And, according to his deputy press secretary Eric Schultz, he aims to publicize as many the findings as he can.
Friday afternoon, Schultz said, “We’re going to make public as much as we can. As you can imagine, something like this might include sensitive and even classified information. When that report is submitted, we’re going to take a look. We want to brief Congress and the relevant stakeholders, possibly state directors.”
Democratic Senator Ron Wyden responded positively to Schultz’s statement. “This is good news,” he said. “Declassifying and releasing information about the Russian government and the US election, and doing so quickly, must be a priority.”
But why disclose the findings of an inconclusive investigation? There is only one reason to do so: to delegitimize the election results and so make the Trump administration radioactive for Democrats.
Once a pall of suspicion is cast over the legitimacy of Trump’s presidency by the outgoing Democratic White House, no self-respecting Democrat with a survival instinct will be willing to cooperate with the Trump administration.
It is no coincidence that liar-nObama ordered the probe hot on the heels of Green Party candidate Jill Stein’s failed recount bid. The purpose of Stein’s recount, for which she raised more money than she raised for her entire presidential campaign, was identical to the purpose of the probe. There was no chance that the recounts in the Rust Belt states that swerved toward Republicans and sealed Trump’s victory would change the election results. The point of the recount, like the espionage probe and the “fake news” meme, is to keep the faithful believing.
They may not have Congress. They may not have the White House. But by God, they are going to make the other guys choke on their victory.
This has become the purpose of the Left, not only in the US but throughout the Western world over the past decade or so. As their promised panaceas to their nations’ problems have failed one by one, in country after country, leftist politicians, ideologues, financiers and activists have kept their movements going not by offering alternative policies that might actually work or by suggesting that they work with their political and ideological opponents for the betterment of their countries. They have kept their faithful in the tent by feeding them a steady diet of hatred for the other side.
This is how things work in Israel.
Long gone are the days when leftists argued passionately about their ideal of land for peace, a passion which informed their actions for a generation.
After the peace process with the PLO was exposed as a jihad, after unilateral withdrawals brought war from Lebanon and Gaza, the Left knows that its policies will never win the public to its side.
So it has moved on to the politics of personal and social destruction.
The most blatant aspect of this continuous campaign of destruction and delegitimization is the Left’s campaign against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, his wife Sara and, increasingly, their children.
Consider the ongoing criminal probe into Mrs. Netanyahu’s management of the prime minister’s residence.
A week and a half ago, Channel 2 broadcast alleged protocols from Sara Netanyahu’s 12-hour investigation by the national fraud division. According to the broadcast protocols, Mrs. Netanyahu was upbraided by investigators demanding to know why she told caterers that her dinner guests were foreigners rather than Israelis and why she claimed more people were coming to dinner than actually came.
She was grilled about a thousand shekel bonus paid to a worker at the prime minister’s residence who helped her take care of her aging father when his nurse was on her day off.
Even the reporters sitting in the television studio couldn’t believe what they were hearing. How is it possible that Mrs. Netanyahu was interrogated for 12 hours about schnitzels? The answer is clear enough. The purpose of the constant investigations of Mrs. Netanyahu is twofold.
First, they are aimed at demonizing the Netanyahu family as corrupt. It doesn’t matter what Netanyahu did or didn’t do. It doesn’t matter that the investigation appears to be entirely frivolous.
The point of the investigation isn’t to put Sara Netanyahu in jail. It is to tar her and her good-for-nothing husband as corrupt.
The second purpose of the prolonged chicken-dinner investigation was to make it impossible for Netanyahu to function. How can any husband work while his wife is being interrogated by the national fraud division? At around the same time that Mrs. Netanyahu was being interrogated about “schnitzel-gate,” the media were broadcasting daily headlines about an alleged corruption scandal related to Netanyahu’s decision five years ago to approve the acquisition of three more submarines from Germany. The media alleged – in stories blasted across page 1 headlines in the major papers and opening the nightly news broadcasts night after night – that Netanyahu’s decision to approve the submarine purchase was motivated by the fact that his personal attorney, and cousin, David Shimron, represented one of the German companies involved in the sale.
It took less than a week for the allegations to fall apart. But that doesn’t mean the story is over.
Just as liar-nObama decided to use his last weeks in office to discredit Trump’s victory despite the FBI’s rejection of the allegation that Russia had a hand in it, so the Israeli Left uses the baseless allegations of corruption against Netanyahu and his family to incite its members to continue to view him as illegitimate.
Sunday night the Erel Margalit, the multimillionaire venture capitalist turned Labor MK turned populist rabble rouser, joined forces with Eldad Yaniv, Ehud Barak’s former spinmaster who has reinvented himself as a populist man of the people.
The two posted an online video calling for the public to join them in demanding that Netanyahu be investigated.
Yaniv and Margalit took the red headlines related to the German submarine purchase and peppered them with photos of Netanyahu smoking a cigar and laughing with his sons and wife, and living the good life with a friend on the beach. They alleged that Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit is the Netanyahu family’s consigliere and that Police Inspector General Roni Elshech is in his pocket.
Yaniv and Margalit brought no substantive claims.
Their montage was pure vilification. They argued irrationally that high food prices are caused by the submarine purchase.
The purpose of the film is obvious. Bereft of an attractive platform to sell the public, they are selling the only thing they have left to rally their ever dwindling base: hatred.
Since last month’s US election, a minority of Democrats have called for their party to moderate its policies. Ohio Congressman Tim Ryan ran a failed bid against Rep. Nancy Pulosi to serve as Democratic minority chairman in the House of Representatives arguing just that case.
Ryan’s loss, like liar-nObama’s espionage probe makes clear that the Democrats will not consider a more moderate course. The majority has no intention of changing its positions. Rather, they intend to keep their adherents on a war footing so that they won’t have the opportunity to even consider a course correction.
By veering from the recount to fake news allegations to the Russian hacking story, the radicals who control the Democratic Party keeps their activists on a war footing. The faithful are given no opportunity to reflect even for a moment on the substantive issues that formed the heart of the presidential race.
The glum conclusion from all of this is clear enough. With their policies rejected by voters, the purpose of the Left isn’t to govern. It is to render their societies ungovernable.
The investigation itself is unlikely to lead to any conclusive results. The FBI, which is responsible for carrying out this sort of investigation, saw no evidence that Russian hacking was aimed specifically at assisting Trump’s campaign against Democratic nominee liar-Hillary Clinton.
