It's Gloves Off in liar-nObama's Final Two Months
Barack liar-nObama has demonstrated great contempt for Rule of Law during his eight years in office. From the Iran nuclear deal to the Paris climate agreement — and myriad other executive actions and unilaterally enacted regulations far too numerous to list — liar-nObama perennially stretched and breached the boundaries afforded the executive branch. As a Washington Examiner editorial aptly put it, "liar-nObama's most egregious mistake ... was to govern as though his opinion was the only one worth considering."
That's a mistake the next president, Donald Trump, must avoid. In the meantime, liar-nObama has two months left in the Oval Office to unleash what's left of his agenda. For him, now that liar-Hillary Clinton won't be his successor, that means the gloves are off. For us, that means a slew of unilateral diktats may be coming down the pipe.
"Look out for the executive orders, the 'midnight' regulations and, perhaps most controversially, the pardons," The Washington Times warns. "As President liar-nObama runs out the clock on his eight-year tenure, analysts say, he still has plenty of business left undone, and they expect him to follow the lead of other presidents and issue a series of rules, to add to his list of executive orders, to continue his record-setting pace of commutations and perhaps add a controversial pardon or two into the mix."
In his remarks on Tuesday's stunning upset, Barack liar-nObama said, "We're all on the same team." He can prove it by rejecting the anticipated onslaught of partisan jabs as he prepares to vacate the White House. Unfortunately, history suggests that's asking too much. Let's hope Trump holds true to his promise by rolling back liar-nObama's decrees and bandaging the rifts. ~The Patriot Post

U.S. Marines Corps Birthday
On Nov. 10, 1775, the Second Continental Congress resolved to create two battalions of Continental Marines for the War of Independence from Britain. In 1798, President John Adams signed the Act establishing the United States Marine Corps. The 13th Commandant of the Marine Corps, General John A. Lejeune, issued Marine Corps Order No. 47, Series 1921, directing that on Nov. 10 every year, in honor of the Corps' birthday, the Order's summary of the history, mission and tradition of the Corps be read to every command.
We at The Patriot Post offer our thanks for a job well done. For those interested in great items bearing the Marine Corps' insignia, please visit The Patriot Post Shop. Semper Fi! ~The Patriot Post

liar-Clinton/Soros/liar-nObama Next Phase –
Ignore Will Of The People...
by Rick Wells
Clearly an organized march
{rickwells.us} ~ Even though we knew better throughout the campaign, the narrative coming out of the liar-Clinton media was that Donald Trump’s supporters were starting trouble at their own rallies... It’s a stupid claim but there were lots of stupid Democrats more than willing to believe it. Now that Mr. Trump has won, riots have broken out across the country. We’re supposed to believe it is a naturally occurring phenomenon that would have happened anyway, even if George Soros and his moveon.org agitators weren’t behind it, which they clearly are. They’re organizing on their website and coordinating attendance at events. Project Veritas exposed this liar-Clinton/Soros thuggery in October so there’s no mystery as to who is responsible. In black areas it’s probably BLM as well, they’re always good for a little anti-American, anti-cop, whitey did it chaos... http://rickwells.us/clinton-soros-obama-next-phase-ignore-will-people-disrupt-demand/

Top Army Chief of Staff General Drops
Bombshell About liar-nObama as He Resigns
by Harry Hibbs
{gopthedailydose.com} ~ A top U.S. Army general with nothing left to lose has publicly admitted something that conservatives have been saying for a long time... the rise of the Islamic State terror group can be directly attributed to President Barack liar-nObama’s premature withdrawal of U.S. military forces from Iraq. Outgoing Army Chief of Staff Gen. Ray Odierno told Fox News on Wednesday that a continued U.S. troop presence in the region would have kept Iraq on a positive track. “It’s frustrating to watch it,” Odierno said. “I go back to the work we did in 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 and we got it to a place that was really good. Violence was low, the economy was growing, politics looked like it was heading in the right direction.”...

Trump Already Begun Renegotiating NAFTA –
This Guy Gets Things Done
by Rick Wells
{rickwells.us} ~ The naysayers said that Donald Trump’s pledges to renegotiate NAFTA and that the Trans Pacific Partnership TPP would be dead on Election Day were just talk... Now that he’s the President-elect, TPP is, in fact no more, and will not be ratified, an announcement made Thursday by the incoming Democrat Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. As for the devastating effects of NAFTA, a correction may be in the works there as well. Whether it’s a renegotiation, as Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau referred to it or a modernization as the Mexican President Pena Nieto prefers to label it, it’s not what you call the process that matters, it’s the economic benefit that results. The leaders of both have agreed to a rewriting of the agreement... http://rickwells.us/trump-already-begun-renegotiating-nafta-guy-gets-things-done/

Illegal Immigrant Advocates
Pledge to Resist Deportation Under Trump
by Warren Mass
{thenewamerican.com} ~ Following the surprisingly strong electoral victory of Donald Trump to the White House in this year’s presidential election, a spokesperson for a group founded to revive the rejected 2007 DREAM Act... which would have granted amnesty to minors illegally in the United States — pledged to resist mass deportation of illegal aliens. The spokesperson also called Border Patrol (CBP) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) personnel "agents of racism.” In a statement quoted by the Washington Times, Cristina Jimenez, co-founder of United We Dream (which describes itself as “the largest immigrant youth-led organization in the nation”) said: “Immigrants are declaring a state of urgency and resilience. Over the coming weeks, our families and community members will need to tap into the incredible strength that brought us to this country and which we use to survive.”... http://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/immigration/item/24595-illegal-immigrant-advocates-pledge-to-resist-deportation-under-trump

‘Not Over’: 4 Legal Probes
liar-Hillary Clinton Still Faces
by Fred Lucas
{dailysignal.com} ~ liar-Hillary Clinton would have been a bigger target for investigators if the presidential election had gone differently, but that doesn’t mean the Democratic nominee and former secretary of state can put such legal questions behind her... The FBI is conducting an ongoing investigation into potential “pay to play” at the liar-Clinton Foundation, although it appears to have closed its investigation of liar-Clinton’s official email. During the presidential campaign, Republican nominee Donald Trump vowed to name a special prosecutor to continue the investigation into liar-Clinton for her use of a private email server while conducting government business as secretary of state... http://dailysignal.com/2016/11/10/not-over-4-legal-probes-hillary-clinton-still-faces/?utm_source=TDS_Email&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=MorningBell&mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiWWpRMU56UTRNRGMwWVdZeiIsInQiOiI0TjNTWVg1NjA1UTA4ZmVpNU9NcUF6WFVvcldzZmQrb0hHU3NrR05HM0MzemlYK3JxWXRydVlDMmJqOFZ1N0hOc1lzRVhsZzJGOHlLUzJvd2Fwc1pOdzNpaEEyQmpUTXRcLzNyV29kYzloWFE9In0%3D

The Forgotten Man
by Judge Andrew P. Napolitano
{jewishworldreview.com} ~ The forgotten man decided the presidential election. Donald Trump persuaded the forgotten man to repose his anger and frustration and power into Trump's hands. Who is the forgotten man? What does he want from government? Why did he vote for Trump?
When the tide began to turn against liar-Hillary Clinton on Tuesday night, I planned to write this column about the unwarranted and unlawful injection of the FBI into the political process. At the time, I was seated with the Fox News number crunchers and generally was exposed to trends and vote totals — and the number crunchers' lucid explanation of them — long before they were revealed on-air. I am more an ideas guy than a numbers guy.
On Tuesday night, the numbers were so overwhelming it was clear that the FBI had nothing to do with the outcome of the presidential election. The numbers on Tuesday told a tale that needs to be related. What the FBI did and failed to do assaulted the rule of law, but that is for another column.
Whatever the impression Trump may have given you — a carnival barker, a hero, a jerk, a courageous leader — he brilliantly tapped into a deep vein of millions of American men and women who believe they have been forgotten by the government they pay for. These good people have been alienated by the elites who dominate American government and culture and civic life.
On Tuesday night, they found a home.
The forgotten man believes that the liar-nObama administration doesn't care about him. The forgotten man knows that the government put into place regulations of economic activity that put him out of work or into a lower-paying job. These forgotten men and women resent the liar-nObama administration's telling them they must have health insurance or they will be taxed for it and then so incompetently manipulating the marketplace as to cause the cost of that insurance — often an unwanted product — to skyrocket.
These good folks cringed when their family doctor told them that he could no longer afford to treat them because the feds had overregulated the practice of medicine. They simply couldn't believe that their own government would make the practice of medicine so expensive that doctors in droves could not afford to stay in business. And they were outraged when their doctors told them the feds could see their medical records and dictate their medical treatment.
The forgotten man has profound resentment for a government that is telling him how to live. The forgotten man's union dues have shot up. His union leaders use his dues to support political candidates he doesn't know or like. Yet he has usually voted for the Democrats — out of a traditional belief that the Democrats would think of him and his needs when framing federal legislation. They haven't.
The forgotten man speaks his mind but isn't drawn to lofty arguments about the freedom of speech. The forgotten man wants the government to work but couldn't tell you which aspects of its behavior are unconstitutional. The forgotten man wants elected officials who don't and won't forget him. The forgotten man hopes he never sees a judge in a courtroom, but if he does, he wants to be judged by someone who understands him.
The forgotten man wants sexual freedom and privacy, but not babies being ripped from the womb for convenience. The forgotten man doesn't want war but loathes military defeat even more. The forgotten man wants inexpensive goods but will pay more if they are made here by people like him. The forgotten man doesn't want the government to take so much money from those who work hard that they lose their incentive to work or close up their businesses and kill jobs. The forgotten man wants everyone to be able to keep the lion's share of what he earns. The forgotten man forgives but doesn't forget.
Trump got all that. Trump tapped into all that as no presidential candidate had since Ronald Reagan in 1980.
The forgotten man viewed liar-Clinton as having no interest in him. The forgotten man believed that liar-Clinton would work for special interests and not for him. The forgotten man saw that what Trump grasped, liar-Clinton overlooked; what Trump understood, liar-Clinton ignored; and what Trump turned into votes, liar-Clinton took for granted.
I doubt that the forgotten man saw what I did recently. At the Al Smith dinner in New York City last month — a 1,500-person black-tie fundraiser for the Archdiocese of New York at which Trump's speech was mediocre and liar-Clinton's was stellar — I tried to shake the hands of both of them but ran into a Secret Service roadblock around the head table. Trump waved to me with a twinkle in his eye. When I saw liar-Clinton, I saw a lonely face without joy. On Wednesday morning, it dawned on me that she was doomed and she knew it.
