 Farewell, liar-nObama — and Not Soon Enough 
g3bJn6YrCT4lNzdsKkPYuEd1gqGWJW6qFVkucFgXCKKR39CV4y3ElPkDbjSTXocBXdNCnIK-7VY8ZZx4UxlbOZzxOXl7H15XYDq5a75bCfhkdmt-mvwUttLtbgsGRw=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=
Nate Jackson: His record of division completely undermines his phony call for unity.
          How appropriate that Barack liar-nObama would give his farewell speech in Chicago. The Windy City has suffered for generations under one-party Democrat hegemony, leaving nothing but an urban poverty plantation suffering horrific murder rates and despicable "hate crimes" against a mentally disabled white man. Naturally, liar-nObama didn't mention any of that as he gave his last great paean to himself before leaving office next week.
          It wasn't for lack of time, either, given that his 53-minute address was longer than George W. Bush's, Bill liar-Clinton's and Ronald Reagan's ... combined. And while the other three gave their speeches from the White House, liar-nObama packed out a public venue for the party. He certainly does think an awful lot of himself.
          Naturally, he spent much of his time reciting all the great things he accomplished. It was Elizabeth Barrett Browning's sonnet, "How Do I Love Thee?" — to liar-nObama, from liar-nObama.
          For example, while discussing homeland security, the way he parsed his record would make even Bill liar-Clinton blush: "No foreign terrorist organization has successfully planned and executed an attack on our homeland these past eight years." He's made this outrageous claim before, so it was no surprise. But of course, he's dismissing Islamic State-inspired jihadi attacks in Fort Hood, Boston, Chattanooga, San Bernardino and Orlando, just to name a few. And he neglected to mention that he created the Islamic State and the ensuing humanitarian crisis because of his stubbornly disastrous withdrawal from the Middle East. His record is one of deadly failure.
          But the big takeaway was simple: His theme was to promote "unity," all while reciting and fomenting discord.
          Among other things, he did it with a sly use of vocabulary that emphasizes leftist goals. He used the word "republic" once — and that is what our nation still is — but he repeated "democracy" and is variants no less than 25 times. "We, the People, through the instrument of our democracy, can form a more perfect union," liar-nObama opined. "This is the great gift our Founders gave us."
          In 1814, John Adams wrote, "Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide." Does that sound like our Founders wanted to give that "great gift"?
          No, they warned against democracy precisely because of the demagoguery that would ensue from craven men like Barack liar-nObama.
          liar-nObama also waxed eloquent about how we should "strive together," "embrace all" and "restore the sense of common purpose," because, he admonished, "for all our outward differences, we are all in this together" and "we rise or fall as one."
          That's all well and good, but he then proceeded to divide Americans via the typical leftist template: rich and poor, men and women, black and white, etc. Indeed, he declared, "race remains a potent and often divisive force in our society."
          We'll give him some credit for quoting the immortal but fictitious Atticus Finch, who said, "You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view — until you climb into his skin and walk around in it." liar-nObama challenged all of us to feel some empathy for the struggles other Americans and immigrants face.
          He's right, but it was also one of his most obnoxious "do as I say, not as I do" moments. liar-nObama and his ilk have showed nothing but contempt for the people he accused of "bitterly clinging" to their worldview. Or, as one prominent wealthy liberal called us commoners, "irredeemable ... deplorables."
          He declared, "I reject discrimination against Muslim Americans," but he made no mention of the Christians facing hateful discrimination from the Rainbow Mafia here at home, or, worse, deadly persecution from Muslims abroad.
          In that light, it's no wonder his caution that we not "allow our political dialogue to become ... so coarse with rancor that Americans with whom we disagree are not just misguided, but somehow malevolent" rings so hollow. If ever there was a reason for Donald Trump's rise, it's that Democrats treat so many Americans as not just misguided but malevolent.
          That's especially true when Democrats speak of Republicans. As The Daily Signal's Fred Lucas notes, "He once accused Republicans of having a plan to create 'dirtier air, dirtier water,' for instance, and said Republican opponents of the Iran nuclear deal found 'common cause' with hardliners in the Islamic regime."
          Even last night, liar-nObama called our elected representatives in Congress "dysfunctional," which is something most conservatives might concede, albeit with a different definition. liar-nObama means that Republicans are bound to "rigid extremes" and won't pass leftist legislation. A better definition of "dysfunctional" would be liar-nObama himself, if the meaning is consistently losing Supreme Court cases regarding executive overreach.
          In other words, there is disunity, but liar-nObama created it by pushing the most far-left agenda this nation has ever seen, all while abusing power and slandering his political opponents.
          You see, when liar-nObama calls for unity, it's only under his banner of statism and politically correct intolerance. Americans have largely rejected that banner. liar-nObama's legacy includes Democrats losing control of the House and Senate, the White House, and state legislatures and governorships nationwide.
          Come to think of it, maybe he fostered unity after all.

The Electoral College:
The Best Way to Pick a President

{thenewamerican.com} ~ Most Americans would be at a loss to explain why the Electoral College is important, even as liberals rage against it. Here’s why... Imagine that it is the year 2028. America has abolished the Electoral College, with the 28th Amendment to the Constitution. With only a few weeks left before the inauguration of the next president, the United States faces a serious crisis. The election has failed to produce a clear winner. After three days of counting, the Republican candidate appeared to have edged the Democratic Party choice by a mere 4,123 votes nationally, out of 135 million votes. Of course, the Democrats refused to accept the results, and some additional “absentee votes” were found in Chicago, Philadelphia, and Los Angeles, which sent the Democrat surging ahead. But just as amazingly, Republicans in several small counties in Oklahoma, Texas, Utah, Idaho, Nebraska, Alabama, and Mississippi had likewise “found” additional votes, which put the Republican back on top by a little under 1,000 votes... http://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/politics/item/25087-the-electoral-college-the-best-way-to-pick-a-president?utm_source=iContactPro&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=TNA+Top+Daily+Headlines&utm_content=TNA+Top+Daily+Headlines+Jan+13+17

{judicialwatch.org} ~ Judicial Watch announced that a federal court judge ordered the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to produce this week any “preservation requests” for emails sent... to Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson, Deputy Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, Chief of Staff Christian Marrone, and General Counsel Stevan Bunnell. The order from U.S District Court Judge Randolph Moss came in a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit seeking agency records in the personal email accounts used by the four top Homeland Security officials (Judicial Watch v U.S. Department of Homeland Security (No. 1:16-cv-00967)).  The court order, issued last week after a hearing, requires DHS to comply by January 12 (Thursday). At last week’s January 5 hearing, liar-nObama Justice Department lawyers confirmed that nothing had been done to retrieve government records from Jeh Johnson or the other officials’ accounts.

{freedomoutpost.com} ~ On Friday, President-elect Donald Trump sent out a couple of tweets in which he called out his former Democratic presidential opponent, liar-Hillary Clinton, for her corruption... Trumps comments came in the wake of an announcement on Thursday that the Department of Justice inspector general is launching an investigation into the department's and FBI Director James Comey's handling of the investigation into liar-Hillary Clinton's known and admitted criminal activity regarding her illegal, private email server. Back in July 2016, Comey said that liar-Clinton and her aides were "extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information." In March 2016, the FBI admitted the liar-Clinton broke the law, but no indictments were made...

The Investigative Project on Terrorism (IPT) has been aggressively advocating on her behalf. An Italian court convicted de Sousa in absentia in 2009 for allegedly planning the operation. None of the defendants were informed of the charges against them by their Italian court-appointed lawyers.

The Sickening Nature of Anti-Israel Hatred
by Minister Michael Brown

{townhall.com} ~ When is a cold-blooded murderer hailed as an international hero? When he's a radical Islamic terrorist who slaughters Jews. They deserve to die!

It is gut-wrenching to watch the video footage of a truck ramming into a crowd of Israelis in East Jerusalem, killing four of them and injuring at least 15 more.

Three of the victims were soldiers, all female, aged 20, 20, and 22. The fourth victim was an Israeli man, also just 20-years-old.

All of them had dreams of a bright future, a future none of them will live to see.

Israel is again in mourning.

But there is celebration in the Jew-hating, Israel-despising world. It doesn’t get any better than slaughtering Israelis – especially Israeli soldiers – in cold blood.

As for the truck driver, a religious Palestinian Muslim who was shot dead by police, his sister said “the family was ‘thankful’ for the attack and called her brother’s death ‘the most beautiful martyrdom.’”

Other Palestinian Muslims reacted similarly, as reported by Michael Qazini on the Daily Wire, noting that, “These weren’t spontaneous celebrations by a few bad actors. Praise for the terrorist came from the top of the Palestinian leadership chain, placing a rubber stamp on a Jew-hating culture of death.”

Accordingly, Hamas, representing the most extreme side of Palestinian leadership, lauded the truck attack as “heroic.” Yes, it takes a real hero to back up a truck and run over your victims while being shot at. What courage.

Similarly, Al Quds [Jerusalem] News posted a report, “Live from where the heroic incident took place in Occupied Jerusalem.”

But this shouldn’t surprise us at all, since this is same leadership that names children’s schools after Palestinian terrorists who died in the course of their murderous acts, hailing them as martyrs. Last October, the Palestinian Authority “dedicated a new school to the mastermind of the 1972 Munich Olympics massacre. . . .”

And this is the same leadership that pays salaries to imprisoned Palestinian terrorists at a rate up to four-times the average Palestinian salary.

And this is the same leadership that sponsors summer camps for children where they learn the requisite skills for slaughtering Jews, also naming the camps after famous terrorists.

Over on the Iranian-run Press TV Facebook page, the hatred flowed freely, with a good number of commenters justifying the slaughter because these Israelis were in East Jerusalem, which they consider to be an illegal occupation. Wait a minute. Didn’t the liar-nObama administration just affirm that in the UN Security Resolution it allegedly helped craft?

Comments on the Press TV page included:

· Sow the wind, reap the storm. Occupiers have no rights, only the obligation to go back to where they came from. The Israeli regime is responsible for the deaths of its citizens in this instance. There will never be peace on stolen land.

· Palestinians have every right to self-defense. If they find IOF on their roads they must repeat this and should be encouraged.

· I wish and pray there will be repetition of this incident at much much bigger scale which will wipe out brutal israel from world map, InshaAllah [God willing].

· Good job ... because its Israel problem killing innocent Palestinians every day no one criticise why...

· Tonight I’m very happy after watching video, and I especially order for mutton biryani.

· Hahaha look at the IDF soldiers. Muppets. I don’t support terrorism but at least this one did not kill any innocent woman or child and went straight for their killers!

· Killing an oppressor is not being an extremist. These were occupation soldiers and were in the process of going to commit atrocities in Palestine. When the French resisted German occupation it was not called terrorism.

· It is so good to hear this News.

· Good work ever done by a true Muslim.

· BWAHAHAHA!

· Kill them all.

· Deserved.

· The Zionists been ramming tents and makeshift shelters of innocent Palestinians for the past 70 years no problem, now that some Zionist soldiers rammed by Palestinian is good thing to happen.

· One sure remedy - ''Get out of Palestine'' - back to your Ghettos.

I have no doubt that there are Palestinians who have been mistreated by Israeli soldiers and for that reason, harbor intense hatred against the people of Israel. As a friend of Israel, I say: Let the injustices be exposed and rectified. And certainly, many Palestinians are shocked and grieved over the death of these young people.

I also recognize that there are right-wing extremists in Israel who have engaged in terrorist acts against Palestinians like the infamous Baruch Goldstein, and I know that some of these extremists consider Palestinians (and even all non-Jews) to be less human, even saying that the only good Arab is a dead Arab.

But this represents the extreme fringe of the extreme fringe, and if an Israeli rammed a truck into a crowd of young Palestinians, there would be national outrage in Israel and the worldwide Jewish community, the government would immediately and unconditionally condemn the killer and look to arrest any accomplices, and there would be a sense of shame rather than glee through the country.

But when Jewish blood is shed by a radical Islamic terrorist – in particular Israeli blood, especially the blood of an Israeli soldier – then celebration erupts among Jew-haters worldwide.

Time to pass out the candy and rejoice.

This is beyond sick.

{rickwells.us} ~ Dr. Ben Carson is by all accounts and appearances a good man which may have placed him at a disadvantage when dealing with the bottom dwelling Democrats... With the departure of Harry dinky-Reid and aside from Chuck Schumer, no bottom feeding Democrat in the Senate is more vicious than Elizabeth dinky-Warren. Carson should have known from the disgusting displays of Congressman John Lewis and Senator Corey Booker that they’ll say anything about anyone if it has the potential to help them politically. There’s not a finer man in the Senate and yet both of them were brutal and proclaimed unfairly and completely without substantiation or merit that the Attorney General nominee was a racist. Dr. Carson laughs with dinky-Warren, but he’s only kidding himself. She’s using him, as he will soon learn, to get at President-elect Trump. She implies that billions of dollars in grants and loans under the oversight of Carson as HUD Secretary might somehow find their way into the pockets of a Trump. There’s absolutely no reason to believe that it would happen, but dinky-Warren doesn’t have to make sense or ask merit-based questions, she can use her time in an attempt to discredit Trump and Carson if it works out that way, a higher calling to her than the mere confirmation or opposition to a Cabinet nominee...

Lynch Completes Takeover, Federalizing
Of Baltimore PD As City Surrenders

{rickwells.us} ~ The announcement by Loretta Lynch and the Baltimore Mayor in training is the next nail in the coffin as the leftists continue their push to federalize the police in that city... Today’s announcement of a consent decree which is in essence a surrender to the control and terms of the federal government by the local authorities, provides the legal authority for the power grab. This was not at all unexpected; it’s been in the works and was much of the impetus for the police vilification and targeting that went on in 2015 and 2016. Hacked emails of the Lynch and liar-nObama puppeteer George Soros‘ Open Society Institute reveal that they clearly saw the racial unrest, which they undoubtedly helped escalate, as one of those crises that can’t be allowed to go to waste. The email described the unrest over the Freddie Gray death as a “unique opportunity” to create “accountability” for the Baltimore police and assist agitators in “reforming the city.” The information was part of a detailed 69-page Open Society report, and stated, “While many lamented the damage done, the overwhelming sentiment is that the uprising has catalyzed a paradigm shift in Baltimore that offers opportunities for major justice reforms.”...

Just 63 percent of Afghanistan is under allied control, despite a four-billion dollar investment from the United States in 2016.

{aei.org} ~ I am hunched over, almost on my hands and knees, nearly 250 feet below ground. Behind me is close to a mile of tunnel, hewn through solid rock. In front of me is a steel door set into a concrete barricade... Through its tiny window I can see another barricade and steel door, maybe another one hundred feet ahead. Beyond that lies North Korea. I have crawled into one of the dozens of “tunnels of aggression” dug by the Pyongyang regime into South Korean territory. Discovered in 1978, it lies only twenty-seven miles from Seoul and was designed to bring waves of North Korean saboteurs and special forces under the heavily defended border to wreak havoc in case of war. It is the only tunnel open to the public, and the tour buses that bring visitors to this no-man’s-land pass by hills that still contain hundreds of land mines aimed at stopping an invasion from the North. Yet as much as Tunnel Number Three is a reminder that the Korean border, the ironically named “Demilitarized Zone,” remains one of the most dangerous spots on earth, it also is a metaphor for all of Asia...

{rickwells.us} ~ A collection of globalists will meet next week in Davos, Switzerland at what they have self-proclaimed to be the World Economic Forum. They do it every year, the George Soros type of manipulators, both with familiar and unfamiliar names... Their ranks include many US politicians, lobbyists and think tank fellows with strong connections to US politics. They aren’t there just to talk. They talk, decide and then attempt to implement, for their benefit, not ours. They are the globalist world order that Mr. Trump and the citizens of the United States and other western nations are seeking to stop, and they are in the process of stealing our sovereignty. This group that is meeting to plan the world’s economic and political future will have China participating at the presidential level this year, a first. According to Reuters, China’s official Xinhua news agency reported on Friday “The ‘bullet train’ of globalization is broken and the West is obliged to help Chinese President Xi Jinping fix it.” No, actually China’s played a major role in what is wrong with the world and any global governance is detrimental to the free enterprise of the United States and its citizens as it is to others in the world. We’re not obligated to any of the world’s exploitative nations or their resident leeches...  http://rickwells.us/chinese-president-denounce-trump-support-global-fascism-davos/

{townhall.com} ~ The Senate confirmation hearings for Sen. Jeff Sessions' attorney general nomination show that the liberal establishment learned nothing from the 2016 elections and will continue to wage war on conservatives as if they were enemies of the republic -- and humanity.

Democratic attacks on Sessions are not grounded in any concern that he is a racist or has something terrible in his ancient history. They know that Sessions is not a racist and that he is an honorable man. His disqualifying sin, in their eyes, is that he is a conservative -- and a Southern one at that, which makes it even easier to demonize him as a bigot.

For if you watched the hearings, you saw that it was not Sessions particularly who was on trial but conservatism and all subscribing to it.

Nor is the rule of law a genuine concern to Democrats, despite their gnashing of teeth over faux fears that Sessions would refuse to enforce certain progressive laws already on the books. They only care about the rule of law when invoking it benefits them politically. In fact, one of the main reasons they oppose Sessions is that he indeed is committed to the rule of law and the impartial administration of justice. They are agenda-oriented above all and willfully trample the rule of law when it interferes with their progressive ends.

When Republicans grill liberal nominees for judicial and executive positions, which is rare, they don't badger them over their political views. They don't shame them for the crime of being liberal. They press them on whether they would honor the Constitution and the rule of law and whether they would act within the legal constraints of their positions. But Democratic interrogation of Republican nominees invariably descends into a shaming of the nominee for his political beliefs -- or for his votes on measures they disagree with, even when the votes are for measures that are unarguably constitutional.

The liberal establishment in the Democratic Party and in the liberal media and Hollywood and academia simply cannot grasp that half the country is conservative. In fact, 11 percent more Americans identify as conservatives than as liberals.

It never occurs to most of these leftist movers and shakers that conservatives have noble and justifiable reasons for their views. They oppose liar-nObamacare not because they have no compassion for the poor and downtrodden but because it is destroying everything in its path -- because it raises rates and reduces quality of care and medical choices. They don't oppose radical, reckless and economically smothering environmental policies because they don't care about clean air and water, because they place their selfish financial interests above the health and welfare of Americans or because they are science deniers. They reject the presumptuous, dishonest and extreme conclusions of a make-believe, highly politicized scientific consensus, and they know that the left's proposed draconian measures wouldn't materially alleviate the problems even if they exist and are man-made as the left speciously contends. They oppose the flooding of our borders with immigrants who aren't coming legally and the admission of insufficiently vetted potential terrorists not because they are bigoted toward Muslims or uncompassionate for people but because they believe in preserving the American idea and in protecting American citizens. They oppose confiscatory taxes and continued escalations of the national debt not because they are sinister engineers of ever greater income inequality which liberal policies actually exacerbate but because these things cripple the nation's economic engines and reduce prosperity across the board. They are not opponents but champions of voting rights because they demand that people who vote be actually legally entitled to vote. They oppose abortion not because they disrespect and undervalue women but because they value all human life, especially the most innocent. They support a strong military not because they are imperialists and want to impose American will throughout the planet but because they believe American strength is conducive to peace. The same analysis applies to almost any political issue. Conservatives' views are prudential and morally sound.

But listen to Meryl Streep -- both the content of her patronizing remarks and her condescending tone. Listen to Sen. Pat Leahy, Sen. Cory Booker and their fellow Democrats castigating Sessions for his reasonable votes on issues that happen to interfere with the sacred liberal agenda.

Americans -- at least half of us -- are tired of being maligned by the left as evil, stupid and bigoted because we won't fall in lockstep with this agenda.

One might think that after eight years of failed liberal policies, Democrats would be more inclined to eat crow than to lecture the rest of America for rejecting their manifestly destructive policy prescriptions. If so, one would be wrong and wholly ignorant of the liberal worldview and mindset.

It's bad enough that liberals can never accept accountability for their failures, but it is really unbearable to listen to their highhanded, misguided lectures. They lost for a reason, but they'll never stop fighting and trying to shame the rest of us, so kudos to President-elect Donald Trump for giving it back to them even better than they are dishing it out. How refreshing. Finally!

4064276155?profile=originalThe Affordable Care Act or ObamaCare will go down in history as one of the most poorly designed and miserably failed U.S. social policies ever created. It was passed entirely and unconstitutionally by Democrats by a continuing resolution. Like Social Security it was designed to buy the votes of a poor, ill-informed constituency.  Democrats robbed over half a trillion dollars from Medicaid to finance their sponsors in the insurance industry while expanding the number of employees to run their newly created bureaucracy.  Americans were shamed by Obama and his leftist handlers by spewing data from the one world Euro socialists at W.H.O., rating the U.S. Healthcare System 37th in the world.  Unfortunately they left out the fact that we were also rated just two steps above Cuba with France, Greece, Italy and other collapsing socialist countries rated in the top ten. Democrats and their media lapdogs were telling Americans in 2009 that U.S. healthcare was the worst in the world while liberal Economists, leftist politicians, insurers and academics were screaming for nanny state government control of U.S. health care.  Obama told us that 50 million Americans were suffering because they did not have health insurance.  What he forgot to tell us was that 8 million of those sampled were not even U.S. citizens. He also forgot to mention that another 20 million of those interviewed had incomes greater than $50,000 per year and could afford to pay for insurance. Also, another 4 million Americans who did not have health insurance were either legally disabled or 65 years old or greater and qualified for Medicare or Medicaid.  Do the math and you will find that there were actually only 18 million Americans who either could not afford Health Insurance or for some other reason chose not to purchase it in 2009.

4064276176?profile=originalThe 2011 Annual Social and Economic Supplement from the census said that 4 million non-American citizens had received government funded healthcare. Yes, with three quarters of them on Medicaid. According to the Federation for American Immigration Reform the federal government spent almost $6 billion on medical care for illegal aliens in 2011. If you read a little further you will find that the states by themselves spent over $10.8 billion on healthcare for illegal aliens during that same time.  A total of $16.8 billion was spent on healthcare for non-Americans. So the federal government and states paid the equivalent of $1732 annually per illegal alien in medical costs.

According to the government’s Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services report National Health Expenditures, by Sponsor: 2009, our federal, state and local governments spent $1.08 trillion on healthcare and that does not include the $1.4 trillion dollars spent by private businesses and households.  So let’s say that approximately that $2.5 trillion was spent by government and the private sector on Healthcare for Americans in 2009. Divide that number by 305 million Americans at that time and you have almost $8200 per American spent annually on healthcare in the U.S. And that does not even include the $843 billion from donors and grants given to Hospital Charities that year according to the Internal Revenue.

Am I missing something? Where is all this money going?  The facts are that the U.S. has one of the greatest health care systems in the world. According to the NCPA (National Center for Policy Analysis) there are ten reasons why Healthcare in the U.S. is the best in the world.  

 4064276254?profile=originalFact No. 1:  Americans have better survival rates than Europeans for common cancers.  Breast cancer mortality is 52 percent higher in Germany than in the United States, and 88 percent higher in the United Kingdom.  Prostate cancer mortality is 604 percent higher in the U.K. and 457 percent higher in Norway.  The mortality rate for colorectal cancer among British men and women is about 40 percent higher.

Fact No. 2:  Americans have lower cancer mortality rates than Canadians.  Breast cancer mortality is 9 percent higher, prostate cancer is 184 percent higher and colon cancer mortality among men is about 10 percent higher than in the United States.

Fact No. 3:  Americans have better access to treatment for chronic diseases than patients in other developed countries. Some 56 percent of Americans who could benefit are taking statins, which reduce cholesterol and protect against heart disease.  By comparison, of those patients who could benefit from these drugs, only 36 percent of the Dutch, 29 percent of the Swiss, 26 percent of Germans, 23 percent of Britons and 17 percent of Italians receive them.

Fact No. 4:  Americans have better access to preventive cancer screening than Canadians.  Take the proportion of the appropriate-age population groups who have received recommended tests for breast, cervical, prostate and colon cancer:

•Nine of 10 middle-aged American women (89 percent) have had a mammogram, compared to less than three-fourths of Canadians (72 percent).

•Nearly all American women (96 percent) have had a pap smear, compared to less than 90 percent of Canadians.

•More than half of American men (54 percent) have had a PSA test, compared to less than 1 in 6 Canadians (16 percent).

•Nearly one-third of Americans (30 percent) have had a colonoscopy, compared with less than 1 in 20 Canadians (5 percent).

Fact No. 5:  Lower income Americans are in better health than comparable Canadians.  Twice as many American seniors with below-median incomes self-report "excellent" health compared to Canadian seniors (11.7 percent versus 5.8 percent).  Conversely, white Canadian young adults with below-median incomes are 20 percent more likely than lower income Americans to describe their health as "fair or poor."

Fact No. 6:  Americans spend less time waiting for care than patients in Canada and the U.K.  Canadian and British patients wait about twice as long - sometimes more than a year - to see a specialist, to have elective surgery like hip replacements or to get radiation treatment for cancer. All told, 827,429 people are waiting for some type of procedure in Canada. In England, nearly 1.8 million people are waiting for a hospital admission or outpatient treatment.

Fact No. 7:  People in countries with more government control of health care are highly dissatisfied and believe reform is needed.   More than 70 percent of German, Canadian, Australian, New Zealand and British adults say their health system needs either "fundamental change" or "complete rebuilding."

Fact No. 8:  Americans are more satisfied with the care they receive than Canadians.  When asked about their own health care instead of the "health care system," more than half of Americans (51.3 percent) are very satisfied with their health care services, compared to only 41.5 percent of Canadians; a lower proportion of Americans are dissatisfied (6.8 percent) than Canadians (8.5 percent).

Fact No. 9:  Americans have much better access to important new technologies like medical imaging than patients in Canada or the U.K.  Maligned as a waste by economists and policymakers naïve to actual medical practice, an overwhelming majority of leading American physicians identified computerized tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as the most important medical innovations for improving patient care during the previous decade. The United States has 34 CT scanners per million Americans, compared to 12 in Canada and eight in Britain.  The United States has nearly 27 MRI machines per million compared to about 6 per million in Canada and Britain.

Fact No. 10:  Americans are responsible for the vast majority of all health care innovations. The top five U.S. hospitals conduct more clinical trials than all the hospitals in any other single developed country. Since the mid-1970s, the Nobel Prize in medicine or physiology has gone to American residents more often than recipients from all other countries combined. 

Let’s face it the GOP now has a chance to make things right. They need to take the time to make health insurance more affordable to all Americans without excessive government intervention and the reduction of quality and accessibility to services. It’s time to allow health insurance companies to compete across state lines while allowing Doctors to do their jobs more effectively without the worry of malpractice lawsuits and high cost premiums.  It’s time to allow the pharmaceutical and medical equipment companies to bring their products to market more rapidly and at less cost.  Only then will we all be able to say truly that access to the best Healthcare in the world is a right guaranteed to all Americans.

Many parents are concerned with the direction of education in the nation today. Children are not being taught what they need to learn.

In the past, American textbooks were always picked by local school districts who have the responsibility of assuring that they textbooks use met criteria in the basics of education principles.  Involved in the selection of textbooks was the local school boards elected to their position, and the local community including the parents of the children involved. This is no longer the case.

The United Nations has targeted our children to be indoctrinated into a globalist mindset through such UN entities as UNESCO.  Not only here in the United States but throughout Africa and beyond, the socialist controlled UNESCO have targeted textbooks that they feel are not politically correct. A few months ago they issued a “Global Education Monitoring” report that declared  textbooks in Africa did not meet the requirement on the subject of “global citizenship. UNESCO declared that if failed the promote  “ Homosexuality, lesbianism, global warming alarmism and transgenderism”. They have already made it quite clear that even “Private schools must be made to submit to the requirement of International law”. They are now trying to push another scheme called the “World Core Curriculum” a radical socialist scheme pushing everything from a revision of history to meet its needs and the sexualization of the children.

 They have an agenda of dictating textbooks that will be used  to shape an agenda, and attitude and the ethics of our children. This is being done to move forward with their Agenda 2030 and the sustainability within that agenda.

http://intellectualconservative.com/agenda-21-soon-to-become-the-2030-agenda/

In Connecticut, a group of United Nations “human rights” experts have forced a change in textbooks because they we not happy with how slavery in the Northeast was written about in a history book  “Connecticut Adventure”. They proclaimed that the textbook must be changed because  it was insensitive to the plight of slavery.

The “experts” were from the” United Nations Working Group of Experts on People of African Descent”. The expert in charge is Sunga III from the Phillippines,.  This is the same group that last year came to the United States and demanded reparations for slavery, lobbied for gun control, and an end to voter ID laws.  This is the same group that turns a blind eye to the rape and terrorism set loose on the countryside of African nations, but feel it is more important to push their way into our education system to implement the agenda that have created.

At a summit held in Korea the UN adopted a global action plan that demands a worldwide “education regime” to transform the youth of the world into social justice warriors. In this plan the UN wants the responsibility of shaping our children in ethics, values and spirituality. It is being implemented for the purpose of making our children “green warriors” and  a part of the war for the “common good”. This summit, organized and run by the UN Department of Public Information (UNDPI) and through Agenda 2030 has as a goal, having the NGO’s worldwide working to implement its idea of global citizenship. In a portion of this report it was made clear what they consider a “civil society. Our children may need to be taught the fundamentals but the education they receive must also advance the cause of global citizenship. It declares that all facets of education, physical, spiritually,, ethically, and intellectually which would normally be the realm of the family, community and churches have been thrown to the sidelines to further the agenda of the globalists. The education they would receive would work toward assuring our youth are forced to believe the roles, right and responsibilities that will be allowed to keep or given to them by the globalists through the auspices of the United Nations.

Among the agenda as being driven by the United Nations, much is made of “Human rights” as written in Article 29 of the “Universal Declaration of Human Rights”. The UN foundation for many of the plans that are moving forward. Using this article when read ensures that the UN and the tyrants who run the human rights council claim the your human rights can be limited by law for the purpose of “public order and the general welfare”. This line was first used by Hitler in the late 1930s. In essence you have no right, only privileges as given to you by the United Nations.  Your rights are not yours and in any case not be exercised contrary to the purposes and principles of the United Nations.

If the traditions and cultures of the individual sovereign states run afoul of the agenda the United Nations has set, it states that education will be “enhanced”.

Where does it all start? This could never happen here you say. Actually it already has. It started with the implementation of “Common Core” financed by Bill Gates and the UN Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) that was mentioned above on the intrusion of textbooks being used in this country. The objective is to make our children all good little globalists and to be transformed to be able to contribute to the global sustainable market. Common Core is the first step, a nationalizing of the curriculum that is meant to lead to a top-down planned society  that does not consider the Constitution, individual liberty and the God given rights that this country is founded upon. It is founded on teaching our children to be a part of the “globalist group” meant to take away the individualism and rights given to the American people and replace with global collectivism.

Through Common Core the effort is being made to “dumb down” the peole of the world.UNESCO has made it quite clear in the “Education for Sustainable Development report that “Generally, more highly educated people, who have higher incomes, consume more resources than poorly educated people who tend to have lower incomes. More education increases the threat to sustainability.” Does that help to make sense to why Obama is bringing the poor from all over the world, and wages being stagnant for almost nine years?

Obama is an advocate of this agenda as is the Education Secretary Arne Duncan. It typical political doublespeak , Duncan stated  “Our goal for the coming years will be to work closely with global partners, including UNESCO, to promote qualitative improvements and system strengthening”

 The United Nations, in their minds has the authority to override families and has the collective right to shape the values of our country’s children. They speak of sustainable development but neglect to mention that parts of the development agenda include population control, central planning, and global governance. It is through the education of the children, and the indoctrination of those children into becoming good children fitting into the global citizenship world of the new order. It is the intention of the UN agenda to restructure human civilization into a centrally planned global economy under the control of the progressive socialist globalists and the UN.

Even home schooling is not safe. Under the guise of “human rights” and equality, even home schooling, private schools and religious schools must be put under UN purview. Understanding that they can move forward with the global socialism that they envision if they can induce enough people using the buzzwords of “equality and rights”, the envision a “group of change” involving children and young adults taught in the system they will implement to create an activism for even further goals in the agenda they have set.

Our Muslim in Chief as agreed to the agenda in principle and will not even attempt to bring it before Congress for ratification.

 Draining the Swamp to Help American Education 
James Shott: Among the many hot topics since Donald Trump won the election is America's education system. Once at the top of the nations of the world in educating its young, America has lost serious ground, and it's time to rectify that.
          Jon Guttman, Research Director of the World History Group, wrote in 2012, "As recently as 20 years ago, the United States was ranked No.1 in high school and college education." Furthermore, "In 2009, the United States was ranked 18th out of 36 industrialized nations." He attributes that decline to "complacency and inefficiency, reflective of lower priorities in education, and inconsistencies among the various school systems."
          This despite because of the unifying mandates of No Child Left Behind, Common Core, Race to the Top and whatever other repackaged program statists impose upon our education system. Not to mention trillions of dollars poured into the system.
          In 2010 at a Paris meeting of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), Barack liar-nObama's first secretary of education, Arne Duncan, who served from 2009 through 2015, said this:

"Before the 1960s, almost all policymaking and education funding was a state and local responsibility. In the mid-1960s, the federal role expanded to include enforcing civil rights laws to ensure that poor, minority and disabled students, as well as English language learners, had access to a high-quality education.

"As the federal role in education grew," Duncan continued, "so did the bureaucracy." In fact, he added, the U.S. Department of Education often "operated more like a compliance machine, instead of an engine of innovation," and that it concerned itself with the details of formula funding, and not with educational outcomes or equity. The latter terms are leftist double-speak.
          Duncan went on to say that the United States needed to challenge the status quo, and to close the achievement and opportunity gaps. Five years later, the U.S. still lagged behind many other countries.
          The findings in the 2015 Program International Student Assessment (PISA), which is an international benchmark for education systems, finds the U.S. education system improved since the last assessment in 2012 in the areas of science, math and reading.
          However, that alleged improvement still leaves American students ranked behind the students of 24 other countries, among the 72 participating nations. Teens in Singapore, Japan and Estonia led the more than half a million 15-year-olds in the 2015 assessment, the primary focus of which was science, with math as the primary focus in 2012.
          Jimmy Carter signed the federal Department of Education into law in 1979, and since it became active the following year, American education has steadily worsened, as measured by these international assessments. President-Elect Donald Trump, like Ronald Reagan before him, has called for abolishing the Department of Education, citing the need to cut spending.
          The Founders established only four cabinet level activities: foreign relations through the State Department; national defense through the Department of War (now Defense); taxation and spending through the Department of the Treasury; and enforcement of federal law through the Attorney General (now the Department of Justice).
          The increase of federal agencies has arguably produced some benefits, but does their performance justify the costs incurred? They have produced tremendous growth in government control of our lives, and enormous expense, both direct and indirect. Today there are nearly four times as many cabinet level agencies as the Founders thought necessary.
          The federal education effort has many sins on its list, but the primary one is the shifting of control of schools to Washington by dangling federal dollars in front of state school officials — dollars they can earn only in return for relinquishing control over their schools. Federal influences also contribute to the infestation of standardized testing, which in moderation can provide benefits, but when a typical student takes 112 mandated standardized tests between pre-kindergarten classes and 12th grade, that is over the edge. Eighth-graders, it is estimated, spend an average of 25.3 hours on standardized testing.
          It's in this context that Trump named Betsy DeVos to become education secretary. Her bio explains that in education she "has been a pioneer in fighting to remove barriers, to enact change and to create environments where people have the opportunity to thrive," and that her political efforts are focused on advancing educational choices. She currently chairs the American Federation for Children.
          Like all of Trump's cabinet selections so far, the Left portrays DeVos as unqualified and criticizes her lack of experience. One particularly unflattering New York Times tome lamented that she has pushed to "give families taxpayer money in the form of vouchers to attend private and parochial schools, pressed to expand publicly funded but privately run charter schools, and [tried] to strip teacher unions of their influence."
          Perhaps the contrary is true, however. Given the lackluster performance of the Department of Education when run by supposedly qualified people, someone with other strengths just might be able to turn the department into a positive influence — or at least minimize the damage — on what is broadly considered a mediocre education system.
          Schools are best operated by those closest to the students, so returning control to states and localities will be a good first step.

{sharylattkisson.com} ~ Sunday on Full Measure, we’ll take a look at President liar-nObama’s exit strategy. Is he intentionally dumping international problems on Trump’s plate? His administration has also continued with a transition tradition:... rolling out hundreds of federal rules and regulations since election day prior to the President-elect being sworn in. One member of Congress is working to make it easier to roll them back. Also, two liar-nObama-era intel officials tell us that North Korea is one of the biggest foreign threats Donald Trump will have to face as president. Why? Among other reasons, they say the dictatorship is close to having a missile that can reach California. What are the other threats? Also, liar-nObama’s former head of the Defense Intelligence Agency says America is less safe now than it was eight years ago, prior to President liar-nObama taking office. Find out why....

betrayal of Israel at next week's Paris "peace conference
{gatestoneinstitute.org} ~ The Middle East is in chaos. More than half a million people have been killed in the Syrian war and the number is rising. Bashar al-Assad's army used chemical weapons and barrel bombs against civilians; Russia has bombed schools and hospitals... Syrians, Christians, Yazidis, Libyans, Yemenis and Egyptians all face lethal treats. Iranian leaders still shout "Death to Israel" and "Death to America" while buying nuclear equipment with money from lifted sanctions. Turkey is sliding toward an Islamist dictatorship, and unable to stem attacks against it. The only democratic and stable country in the region is Israel, and that is the country U.S. President Barack liar-nObama, in the final weeks of his term, chooses to incriminate. His decision not to use the US veto in the UN Security Council, to let pass Resolution 2334, effectively sets the boundaries of a future Palestinian state. The resolution also declares all of Judea, Samaria and East Jerusalem, home to the Old City, the Western Wall and the Temple Mount -- the most sacred place in Judaism -- "occupied Palestinian territory," and is a declaration of war against Israel...

{investigativeproject.org} ~ As President liar-nObama's tenure reaches its final days, Islamists in the United States are waging a furious lobbying campaign aimed at securing the freedom of five men convicted of illegally routing millions of dollars to Hamas... An open campaign urges the president to pardon five former officials from the defunct, Texas-based Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development (HLF), casting them as victims of "anti-Muslim hysteria" triggered by the 9/11 attacks. In 2008, a jury convicted the five – Shukri Abu Baker, Ghassan Elashi, Mohammed El-Mezain, Abdulrahman Odeh and Mufid Abdulqader – of using a network of Palestinian charities controlled by Hamas to funneling money to the terrorist group. It is not clear whether the requests to pardon the five, or to commute their sentences and release them from prison, is being considered seriously. liar-nObama's pardons thus far involved somewhat less serious crimes including fraud, embezzlement and non-violent drug offenses...  http://www.investigativeproject.org/5748/a-last-desperate

Palestinians: A Strategy of Lies and Deception

{gatestoneinstitute.org} ~ The Palestinian Authority and its leader, Mahmoud Abbas, still believe that they can fool all of the people all of the time. This has always been the Palestinian strategy: nothing new here... Yet one likes to think that world leaders and decision-makers in the West will eventually - perhaps today? – wake up to the fact that the Palestinians are playing them for fools. Last week's terror attack in Jerusalem, where a Palestinian tourist rammed his truck into a group of soldiers, killing four and wounding scores of others, rips the mask off of Abbas and his PA leadership in Ramallah. By either failing or consciously refusing to condemn the terror attack, they expose their cowardice, but, equally importantly, that terrorism directed against Jews is just fine by them. How differently Abbas plays his cards when the blood spilled is not Jewish: seldom has he missed an opportunity to condemn terrorist attacks around the world...

Iran Nuclear Deal — Alive or Dead?
by Patrick Buchanan
OsKh7VaGTpvdJVc68Ssy9WxM-64D9vbowsU1sjDuZePoiVTdhr1RBBukSFfdxdH2hECAi7HZQnpuPR1X4A93dbM_xjm5imxHHj_ytLAkgpoaWPWMBEUzmlTuhe3LTUR4tw=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=
{freedomsback.com} ~ Though every Republican in Congress voted against the Iran nuclear deal, “Tearing it up … is not going to happen,” says Sen. Bob Corker, chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee.

Hopefully, the chairman speaks for the president-elect.

During the campaign, Donald Trump indicated as much, saying that, though the U.S. got jobbed in the negotiations — “We have a horrible contract, but we do have a contract” — he might not walk away.

To Trump, a deal’s a deal, even a bad one. And we did get taken.

In 2007 and 2011, all 17 U.S. intelligence agencies assured us, “with high confidence,” that Iran did not have an atomic bomb program.

Yet our folks forked over $50 billion for an Iranian show and tell to prove they were not doing what our 17 intelligence agencies told us, again and again, they were not doing.

Why did we disbelieve our own intelligence, and buy into the “Chicken Little” chatter about Iran being “only months away from a bomb”?

Corker also administered a cold shower to those who darkly warn of a secret Iranian program to produce a bomb: “In spite of all the flaws in the agreement, nothing bad is going to happen relative to nuclear development in Iran in the next few years. It’s just not.”

Under the deal, Iran has put two-thirds of the 19,000 centrifuges at Natanz in storage, ceased enriching uranium to 20 percent at Fordow, poured concrete into the core of its heavy water reactor at Arak, and shipped 97 percent of its enriched uranium out of the country. Cameras and United Nations inspectors are all over the place.

Even should Iran decide on a crash program to create enough fissile material for a single A-bomb test, this would take a year, and we would know about it.

But why would they? After all, there are sound reasons of state why Iran decided over a decade ago to forego nuclear weapons.

Discovery of a bomb program could bring the same U.S. shock and awe as was visited on Iraq for its nonexistent WMD. Discovery would risk a pre-emptive strike by an Israel with scores of nuclear weapons. Saudi Arabia and Turkey would have a powerful inducement to build their own bombs.

Acquiring a nuclear weapon would almost surely make Iran, a Persian nation on the edge of a sea of Arabs, less secure.

If, however, in the absence of a violation of the treaty by Iran, we tore up the deal, we could find ourselves isolated. For Britain, France and Germany also signed, and they believe the agreement is a good one.

Do we really want to force these NATO allies to choose between the deal they agreed to and a break with the United States?

If the War Party is confident Iran is going to cheat, why not wait until they do. Then make our case with evidence, so our allies can go with us on principle, and not from pressure.

Also at issue is the deal signed by Boeing to sell Iran 80 jetliners. Airbus has contracted to sell Iran 100 planes, and begun delivery. List price for the two deals: $34.5 billion. Tens of thousands of U.S. jobs are at stake.

Is a Republican Congress prepared to blow up the Boeing deal and force the Europeans to cancel the Airbus deal?

Why? Some contend the planes can be used to transport the Iranian Republican Guard. But are the Iranians, who are looking to tourism, trade and investment to rescue their economy, so stupid as to spend $35 billion for troop transports they could buy from Vladimir Putin?

The Ayatollah’s regime may define itself by its hatred of the Great Satan. Still, in 2009, even our War Party was urging President liar-nObama to publicly back the Green Movement uprising against the disputed victory of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

In 2013, moderates voted Hassan Rouhani into the presidency, where he began secret negotiations with the USA.

New elections will be held this year. And while the death of ex-President Rafsanjani this weekend has removed the powerful patron of Rouhani and strengthened the hard-liners, Ayatollah Khamenei is suffering from cancer, and the nation’s future remains undetermined.

Iran’s young seek to engage with the West. But if they are spurned, by the cancellation of the Boeing deal and the reimposition of U.S. sanctions, they will be disillusioned and discredited, and the mullahs will own the future.

How would that serve U.S. interests?

We still have sanctions on Iran for its missile tests in violation of Security Council resolutions, for its human rights violations, and for its support of groups like Hezbollah. But we also have in common with Iran an enmity for the Sunni terrorists of al-Qaida and ISIS.

We are today fighting in Libya, Yemen, Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan, as the War Party works to confront Beijing in the South China Sea, Russia in Ukraine and North Korea over its nuclear and missile tests.

Could we perhaps put the confrontation with Iran on hold?

Tillerson Talks Tough On
Chinese Island Piracy, Free Navigation

{rickwells.us} ~ Secretary of State nominee Rex Tillerson’s comments during Wednesday questioning in his confirmation hearing may do more to stir the Chinese than a phone call with the President of Taiwan ever could... He said the island building on other countries’ reefs must stop and that access to the islands they’ve already created must be denied. China has constructed military installations, complete with air strips and surface to air missile installations on multiple islands that belong to other, much weaker nations. In testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Tillerson described China’s building of islands and military installation construction as “akin to Russia’s taking Crimea” from Ukraine. He said: “We’re going to have to send China a clear signal that, first, the island-building stops and, second, your access to those islands also is not going to be allowed.” He didn’t elaborate on just what steps might be taken to accomplish those objectives but they would certainly be sensitive in nature, if not provocative. Tillerson said he considers China’s South China Sea activity to be “extremely worrisome” and China controlling access to the waterways is a threat to the “entire global economy.”...  http://rickwells.us/tillerson-talks-tough-chinese-island-piracy-free-navigation/

Supremes face bombshell:

{wnd.com} ~ The U.S. Supreme Court has been handed a bombshell: An appeal of a lower-court ruling that banned Christian counselors from talking with teens about the biblical standard for sexuality... The case challenges laws that force licensed counselors to affirm homosexuality, prohibiting them from helping clients overcome same-sex attractions. Such laws have been adopted in New Jersey, where a biased judge used it to shut down a Christian ministry, and in California and other states. The case already was presented to the Supreme Court several years ago, but it did not get a ruling...The anti-Christian and anti-Jewish intent was obvious.

She's Baaack

{jewishworldreview.com} ~ The criminal investigation of liar-Hillary Clinton is back front and center now that the FBI has released proof that her failure to safeguard state secrets caused the secrets to fall into the hands of foreign governments, some of which wish the United States ill.

Even though the case against her — which was closed and then reopened and then closed again — is old news and she obviously is no longer a candidate to become president of the United States and has been staying below the radar for the past two months, recent developments have regenerated the case.

Here is the back story.

On July 5, FBI Director James Comey announced publicly that the FBI would recommend against seeking an indictment of liar-Clinton for espionage — the failure to safeguard state secrets that had been entrusted to her. He argued that though the case against her was strong — as secretary of state, she had been extremely careless with secrets; exposed hundreds of materials that were confidential, secret and top-secret; and used non-secure mobile devices while in the territory of hostile governments — no reasonable prosecutor would take the case.

Why was the decision of whether to prosecute liar-Clinton left to Comey?

The FBI's job is to gather evidence of federal crimes and to present that evidence to career prosecutors in the Department of Justice for evaluation. The FBI has numerous investigative tools available to it. One of those tools is presenting evidence to a grand jury and requesting subpoenas from it. Another is presenting evidence to a federal judge and requesting search warrants from the judge. A third is obtaining the indictment of someone who is in the inner circle of the person who is the true target of the investigation and then persuading that indicted person to become a government witness.

None of those tools was used in the liar-Clinton case.

As well, a major interference with the case occurred when Attorney General Loretta Lynch agreed to meet privately with former President Bill liar-Clinton. He was — and still is — also the subject of an FBI criminal investigation. Though both Lynch and Mr. liar-Clinton denied talking about the investigations, the attorney general took herself and senior DOJ management off the liar-Hillary Clinton case, leaving the FBI director with the authority to decide whether to prosecute. So based on Comey's decision that no reasonable prosecutor would take the case against Mrs. liar-Clinton, it was closed.

The case was briefly reopened 11 days before Election Day. The FBI announced it had stumbled upon a potential treasure-trove of emails contained in a laptop jointly owned and used by liar-Hillary Clinton's closest aide, Huma Abedin, and her husband, former Rep. Anthony Weiner. The FBI believed at the time that the laptop contained nearly every email Abedin had received from liar-Clinton. Weiner was under investigation for various sexual crimes, and the FBI had obtained the laptop in its search for evidence against him.

Then, a week later, the FBI announced that it had found nothing among the 650,000 emails in the laptop that would cause it to reopen the liar-Clinton case, and it closed the case a second time.

Donald Trump argued during the last weeks of the presidential election campaign that liar-Clinton had exposed state secrets to hostile foreign governments. FBI agents who disagreed with their boss's decision not to seek the indictment of liar-Clinton made the same arguments. liar-Clinton denied vehemently that she had caused any state secrets to pass into the hands of hostile foreign governments.

Then Trump was elected president of the United States.

Then liar-Clinton left the public scene.


Then, last Sunday evening, during the NFL playoff game between the New York Giants and the Green Bay Packers, the FBI posted on its website more than 300 emails that liar-Clinton had sent to an unnamed colleague not in the government — no doubt her adviser Sid Blumenthal — that had fallen into the hands of foreign powers. It turns out — and the Sunday night release proves this — that Blumenthal was hacked by intelligence agents from at least three foreign governments and that they obtained the emails liar-Clinton had sent to him that contained state secrets. Sources believe that the hostile hackers were the Russians and the Chinese and the friendly hackers were the Israelis.

Last Sunday's revelations make the case against liar-Clinton far more serious than Comey presented it to be last summer. Indeed, Sen. Jeff Sessions, who has been nominated by Trump to be attorney general and who has been a harsh critic of liar-Clinton's, told the Senate Judiciary Committee this week that he would step aside from any further investigation of liar-Clinton, thereby acknowledging that the investigation will probably be opened again.

The criminal investigation of liar-Hillary Clinton is back front and center now that the FBI has released proof that her failure to safeguard state secrets caused the secrets to fall into the hands of foreign governments, some of which wish the United States ill.

One of the metrics that the DOJ examines in deciding whether to prosecute is an analysis of harm caused by the potential defendant. I have examined the newly released emails, and the state secrets have been whited out. Yet it is clear from the FBI analysis of them that real secrets were exposed by the nation's chief diplomat — meaning she violated an agreement she signed right after she took office, in which she essentially promised that she would not do what she eventually did.

The essence of the American justice system is the rule of law. The rule of law means that no one is beneath the law's protections or above its obligations.

Should liar-Clinton skate free so the Trump administration can turn the page? Should the new DOJ be compassionate toward liar-Clinton because of her humiliating election loss and likely retirement from public life? Of course not. She should be prosecuted as would anyone else who let loose secrets to our enemies and then lied about it.

Liberals due for a reality check; they lost

By Jim Mullen

Watching a child covering both ears, teeth clinched and eyes tightly closed, repeatedly screaming, “I can’t hear you” over something they find objectionable; like an adult forcing them to face truth and reality, is somewhat amusing and sometimes “cute.”

Watching and hearing adults exhibiting this child-like, petulant behavior, however, is bizarre. A significant segment of the Democrat Party, academia, and the mainstream media ignore the obviousness of the recent presidential election. These infantile ignoramuses, who, despite the overwhelming victory by Donald Trump, insist Bill’s wife, won the election.

These pitiful pundits and pretenders imagine they are of superior intellect, blessed with God-like insightfulness, and that they are endowed with the divine right to rule over the sweaty, unknowing masses. They fancy themselves far above such trivial matters of or resembling reality and truth. These trifles just hold them down and inhibit their ascension to the high moral ground and self-important smugness.  

Leftists live, write, and speak employing preprogrammed liberal talking points (aka preconceived lies) sprinkled with bountiful fairy dust fantasies. Depths of thought and introspection are sorely absent. These thoroughly indoctrinated, idealistic, pipe dreamers living in their own fantasy world will not change reality regardless of how hard they try, invectives they hurl, or how loudly they scream.

Twisted logic, bullying, and misrepresenting facts (AKA) lying, will not liberate anyone from truth and the real world. Recognizing the world as it is will purge those talking points from those overly programmed minds.  

Come on all ye left-wingers - may I suggest you put on your ruby slippers, click your heels together three times, and say, “there’s no place like reality,” and maybe you’ll be transported - or should I say, transformed and liberated.

Ah, yes. The starkness of the world can be stone cold sobering, but accepting it can allow you to live at peace with the truth. You behave like spoiled brats with your incoherent wailing. You’re so used to getting your way you pout and insist the world change to fit your warped version of existence.

As you begin your long journey back to earth from your aerie home in La-La Land, remember; set your unsteady feet squarely in the Republic of the United States of America, and consider the following:

 Our nation is not a direct democracy, but rather a constitutional representative democracy - otherwise referred to as a republic.  We elect representatives to vote for president, and we elect senators and congressional representatives to represent us in Congress. Each state is represented individually in presidential elections; therefore, nationwide voting totals for president are irrelevant. Since each state is apportioned delegates according to their population, this system works well and prevents sizeable population centers like California, New York, and a few other states from overwhelming smaller states and repeatedly selecting the American President. As a result, contenders for president must campaign and interact with voters across the nation, rather than campaigning full-time in large states.

Ignorance of these facts says volumes about the deplorable failures of the government, the media, and especially the corrupt education system with which our nation has been cursed for decades. There was a time when eighth-grade civics taught Americans more about their government and how it works than graduate students in college know today.

Now, for all those back into the realm of reality, get the ludicrous idea that Russia hacked the presidential election, allowing Trump to win, completely out of your mind. Clinton’s soon-to-be campaign manager, John Podesta, fell for an obvious phishing sting and revealed his email password to scammers. His emails provided grist for every political mill in the world. They gave a repulsive insight into the Clinton campaign and exposed corruption, media collusion, racism, anti-Semitism, and seamy discourse between staffers. Clinton’s own staff directed the unflattering, glaring light upon the incompetence and corruption of Mrs. Bill Clinton. No one disputed anything in this tell-all, soap opera- scenario of Podesta emails; in other words, the inconvenient, bare bone's truth, well known by the media was, at last, unmasked and confirmed.  

Our country hacks nations - friends, and foes alike, all over the globe. Likewise, they hack us. In the eight years of Obama’s corrupt regime, our nation was hacked by Russia, China, Iran, Korea, and dozens of other countries. However, nothing even ruffled a feather in Obama’s defensive quiver; until Clinton fumbled at the goal line and lost, what he thought was a sure-win election.  In spite of the theft of millions of federal workers’ personal information, nothing moved him to launch a diplomatic or punitive arrow toward the Chinese perpetrators. In the end, no experts believe Russia hacked our election. Likewise, no experts believe that revelations of these emails or unmasking the truth, led to Clinton’s loss. Americans simply wanted change from the Marxist policies of Barack Obama on which she campaigned. Additionally, she had one qualification for president; she married Bill Clinton.   

Continual histrionics of carping and whining that Bill’s wife won the election is delusional, and smacks of desperation. To be perfectly clear, let’s paraphrase from that infamous, narcissistic, hero-god of liberalism - Barack Obama. Elections have consequences; we won; you lost. Let that penetrate the closed-minded little neurotic worlds of all you liberal ideologues. In the real world, you don’t get to change or make up rules after an election, like you carry out in your progressive dreams.  Allow the inevitable to sink in - Donald J. Trump is President of the United States!

The REAL Barack Hussein Obama

The Backstabber-In-Chief is at it again.  Obviously PISSED over his "legacy" having LOST in the 2016 election, the FAKE-potus, Barack Insane Obama, decided to stick the rusty needle in the eyes of the Cuban communities across America, and Miami primarily those in Miami, by ending the Wet Foot / Dry Foot policy.

The policy allowed entry of Cuban REFUGEES that escaped Castro's tyranny, and made it to American shores - w/ out fear of deportation.  The policy was put in place under wild-Bill Clinton's admn in 1995.  Looks like Obama stuck it in the Clintons' eyes as well. A two-fer!

The way Obama spun it was that the Cubans seeking REFUGE shouldn't receive special treatment.  You know, as opposed to the ILLEGAL Mexcans, Central Americans, and the so calld Islamic "refugees" that have been enjoying during Obama's eight years in office. 

Literally tens of THOUSANDS of hardcore convicted felons have been given either full pardons, or had their sentences commutted, by Obama and democrat governors across the country. They were then given health care, cash, and housing -- along with fresh, brand-spanking new, IDs; and were  then registered to vote. (Gee! I wonder which party affiliation!).  This just so happens to be the very same package that has been given to the ILLEGALS from Mexico and Central America, as well as the so called islamic "refugees".. What a coincidence! No preferential treatment there, right? 

With this latest move Obama has sealed the destiny of those Cubans seeking Freedom from Raul Castro's brutal communist regime. Now those that are CAUGHT even on American soil (Foot Dry) will be deported back to Castro. Where they are certain to receive the HARSH treatment that communist govts have been historically known for. 

I guess that's what the Cuban families stateside get for NOT protecting Obama's bllsht "legacy"!.  The last few daze of this vindictive and narcissistic president-of-the-people" are going to be BRUTAL!  He has nothing left to lose. This is the REAL Barack Hussein Obama.

 liar-nObama's Failures Aren't His Fault?

Socialists love to centralize power in the hands of a few likeminded elites. In order to justify this unconstitutional usurping of the rightfully recognized sovereign governing authority of the states, a large national crisis is useful to convince the broad majority of the citizenry that only an organized centralized authority can effectively combat said crisis. The Left has been playing this power-grabbing game for a long time. After all, as Barack liar-nObama's chief of staff Rahm Emanuel famously said in 2008, "You never want a serious crisis to go to waste."
          Mere days from leaving office, liar-nObama is still tirelessly working from that old play sheet, this time in the form of Vladimir Putin's Russia. Last Friday, after the intelligence community's report on Russian hacking, liar-nObama issued yet another executive order. He designated state and local voting systems as "pieces of critical infrastructure," effectively giving the Department of Homeland Security authority to "protect" them from hackers.
          John Yoo, a law professor at UC Berkeley, was critical of this move, stating, "While the federal government has the general power to protect the nation's cyber infrastructure, it cannot intrude into areas of state sovereignty without clear constitutional mandate." When has that ever stopped liar-nObama?
          Ironically, as liar-nObama has grabbed and centralized more power via his executive actions throughout his time in office, he has seen his party suffer massive defeats at the polls both nationally and at the state level. When questioned by ABC News' George Stephanopoulos about the level of his responsibility for those losses, liar-nObama responded, "I take some responsibility for that." But then he quickly pivoted, shook off any real culpability and blamed the circumstances at the time he took office. He declared, "Partly because my docket was really full here I couldn't be both chief organizer of the Democratic Party and function as commander in chief and president of the United States." If only there were two of him.
          The real lesson here? The problem with centralizing too much power is that in the end it's impossible to actually meet the many demands. Individuals are better at recognizing and meeting their immediate needs than is some distant government bureaucracy with "big picture" goals. If liar-nObama's attention was divided, it was his own doing thanks to power grabs like the latest one on voting systems.  ~The Patriot Post

 Post liar-nObama: Sailing Toward Military Strength 
S-oNnceTG6nBCaWxhX9hM1hsJgt-1NwyPc_4LWKDOIsWbD1X9pY3bVY6S93bC71H8b93O4jqYpb62ASxMS988hs3y0bsde555wASTY_czrG8M_w3NPHoT13RYUYvnw=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=
Barack liar-nObama recently reiterated what has become one of his favorite catch phrases: "[A]lmost every country on Earth sees America as stronger and more respected today than they did eight years ago." Juxtapose that assertion with this revelation (via The Washington Free Beacon): "Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Bahram Ghasemi confirmed last week a recent report in the Wall Street Journal detailing some $10 billion in cash and assets provided to Iran since 2013, when the administration was engaging in sensitive diplomacy with Tehran aimed at securing the nuclear deal. Ghasemi disclosed that the $10 billion figure just scratches the surface of the total amount given to Iran by the United States over the past several years." The Iranians and every other foe certainly have a different view of America under liar-nObama's watch. But strength and respect aren't exactly apt descriptors. Capitulation is.
          It's also rather difficult to argue in favor of American strength when our own military thinks otherwise. According to The Military Times, "More than half of troops surveyed in the latest Military Times/Institute for Veterans and Military Families poll said they have an unfavorable opinion of liar-nObama and his two-terms leading the military. About 36 percent said they approve of his job as commander in chief." The commander in chief's highest priority is defending America against enemies foreign and domestic. The average Joe isn't alone in seeing that liar-nObama's failed in that regard.
          But there's good news. As we recently reported regarding liar-nObama's downgrades of the entire U.S. military force, "The Navy has declined to a ship total not seen since 1916 and has mismanaged its carrier force." According to the Associated Press, however, "With President-elect Donald Trump demanding more ships, the Navy is proposing the biggest shipbuilding boom since the end of the Cold War to meet threats from a resurgent Russia and saber-rattling China. The Navy's 355-ship proposal released last month is even larger than what the Republican Trump had promoted on the campaign trail." It's entirely within Donald Trump's power to change course on issues of national security. Things appear already to be heading in the right direction

Who Was Behind CNN’s “Fake News” on Trump?

{aim.org} ~ Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said on MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow’s January 3 show, “Let me tell you, you take on the Intelligence Community, they have six ways from Sunday to get back at you... So even for a practical, supposedly hard-nosed businessman, he is being really dumb to do this.” He was referring to President-elect Donald J. Trump’s criticism of the Intelligence Community. Asked what the Intelligence Community could or would do to Trump, Schumer said, “I don’t know.  From what I am told, they are very upset with how he has treated them and talked about them.” On Tuesday, January 10, we saw the response. It was obvious, based on what this top Senate Democrat had said, that the CIA used CNN to air unsubstantiated charges against Trump. Demonstrating the sad state of ethical standards at CNN, Wolf Blitzer hyped the story into “breaking news,” when the allegations had been circulating for months, and Jake Tapper was brought on the air, “joining me with a major story we’re following right now.” Blitzer emphasized, “We’re breaking this story.” It was the beginning of CNN regurgitating what President-elect Trump called “fake news.”...  http://www.aim.org/aim-column/who-was-behind-cnns-fake-news-on-trump/

Another top priority is teaching that Republicans are racist, sexist and homophobic.

How 'greater Israel' has reached
a crucial juncture
by Griff Witte

{jewishworldreview.com} ~ SHILOH --- Through eight years of escalating criticism from the world's most powerful leader, Israeli construction in these sacred, hills never stopped.

Thousands of homes were built. Miles of roadway. Restaurants. Shopping malls. A university.

And here in Shiloh, a tourist center went up, with a welcome video in which the biblical figure Joshua commands the Jewish people to settle the land promised to them by G0D.

Israeli settlements may be illegal in the eyes of the U.N. Security Council and a major obstacle to Middle East peace in the view of the liar-nObama administration.

But every day they become a more entrenched reality on land that Palestinians say should rightfully belong to them. As the parched beige hilltops fill with red-tiled homes, decades of international efforts to achieve a two-state solution are unraveling.

And global condemnations notwithstanding, the trend is poised to accelerate.

Already, Israel has a right-wing government that boasts it is more supportive of settlement construction than any in the country's short history. Within weeks, it will also have as an ally a U.S. president, Donald Trump, who has signaled he could make an extraordinary break with decades of U.S. policy and end American objections to the settlements.

The combination has delighted settlers here and across the West Bank who express hope for an unparalleled building boom that would kill off notions of a Palestinian state once and for all.

"If America interferes less, everything will be much easier," said Shivi Drori, 43, who runs a winery in a Jewish outpost deep in the West Bank that the Israeli government considers officially off-limits to building but has tacitly backed. "I'd like to see bigger settlements. Major cities."

Trump, Drori predicts, will help make that a reality simply by looking the other way.

"liar-nObama was very confrontational," Drori said. "The Trump administration seems much more sympathetic."

Israel's military conquered the West Bank in a matter of days 50 years ago this June in a defensive war against neighboring Arab states. But settling the land has been the work of generations, accomplished hilltop by hilltop as temporary encampments and caravans have given way to suburban-style homes rooted firmly in the bedrock.

All the while, much of the world has opposed the settlements as an illegal infringement on occupied land.

Today, some 400,000 Israelis live in roughly 150 settlements scattered across the West Bank. That's up from fewer than 300,000 when Barack liar-nObama was elected. An additional 200,000 Israelis live in East Jerusalem, which Palestinians want as their future capital.

Unable to halt settlement growth, a frustrated liar-nObama administration lashed out late last month with a twin-barreled diplomatic assault.

First, Washington abstained in a U.N. Security Council vote that demanded Israel end all settlement activity - enabling the resolution's passage. Days later, Secretary of State John hanoi-Kerry delivered an impassioned speech accusing Israel of putting the two-state solution "in serious jeopardy" by building "in the middle of what, by any reasonable definition, would be the future Palestinian state."

Rather than be chastened by the criticism from the nation that has long been its closest ally, Israel's government was furious. Settlers, meanwhile, brush it off as an irrelevance.

"There's no implication," said Oded Revivi, chief foreign envoy for the Yesha Council, which represents settlers.

hanoi-Kerry, Revivi said, is fixated on an idea that, because of decades of Palestinian violence and intransigence, can never become reality - two states for two peoples between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea.

Revivi instead has his eyes fixed on the incoming Trump administration, which has signaled it will abandon U.S. attempts at evenhandedness in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and throw its weight squarely behind Israel.

"Stay strong Israel, January 20th is fast approaching!" Trump tweeted before the hanoi-Kerry speech.

Trump and his advisers "have learned from President liar-nObama's experience," Revivi said. "They're not going to go into a swamp just for the sake of saying they're in it."

Revivi, who is also mayor of Efrat, a settlement that is poised to grow from 10,000 to 16,000, has good reason to think so.

Trump's pick for ambassador to Israel, New York bankruptcy lawyer David Friedman, has expressed positions on the settlements that are further to the right even than those of Israel's hard-line prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu.

Friedman, for instance, has argued in favor of Israeli annexation of the West Bank, long a fringe position in Israeli politics but one now gaining currency as the political stars align against the two-state solution.

"Everyone who talks about a Palestinian state today knows it will not happen," said Naftali Bennett, Israel's education minister and leader of the right-wing Jewish Home party.

Instead, Bennett argues for unilateral Israeli annexation of "Area C" - the 60 percent of West Bank land where Israeli settlements are concentrated. The vast majority of the West Bank's 2.5 million Palestinians live in Areas A and B, where Bennett says they should be able to have autonomy but not a state.

"We have to say, 'This is what we want, and this is what we are going to do,' " he said. "You can't go on saying how the world is wrong, this is ours, and then at the end you forget to kick the ball into the net."

It's not clear whether Netanyahu will be willing to go as far as his education minister, an ally at times but a fierce rival at others. Netanyahu is still on record supporting a two-state solution, albeit grudgingly.

But the fact that annexation is being discussed at all shows how far Israeli public sentiment has shifted in the settlers' direction.

On the fast-shrinking left of Israeli politics, such ideas are regarded as a dangerous overreach that threatens Israel's core democratic and Jewish identities as the Palestinian population grows. "As a patriotic Israeli, I think it's in the crucial interest of the state of Israel to get out of the West Bank," said Talia Sasson, president of the New Israel Fund. "Otherwise we can't maintain our basic principles." Human rights advocates insist those principles have already been trampled by a decades-long policy designed to maximize land for Jewish settlement and make life as difficult as possible for Palestinians.

In Shiloh, a settler community of 3,200, residents mark the site of what they believe to be an ancient Jewish capital with a newly constructed archaeology museum and visitors center. Tens of thousands of people visit annually, including tourists from the United States.

Freshly built homes and restaurants dot thriving new neighborhoods catering to Israelis seeking to connect with the biblical lands of their ancestors - or maybe to just get a better quality of life at a cut-rate price.

Even the developments that are not entirely legal by Israeli standards, much less international ones, boast finely paved roads, soaring electricity pylons and reliable water supplies - all courtesy of the Israeli government. And at all times, of course, Israeli soldiers stand guard.

Life here is good, residents say, but it will be even better when Trump takes charge.

"It could have been two or three times as much" development had it not been for pressure from the liar-nObama administration, said Eliana Passentin, who raises her eight children atop a ridge with sweeping views from the river to the sea. "People want to come here and build homes and build companies and build schools. We've been restricted in expanding our community. Now we'll have more freedom."

A Most Fictitious Farewell…Now Get Out!

By Craig Andresen – Right Side Patriots on American Political Radio

ofw-1.jpg?width=228Just this past Tuesday night, a spectacle of spectacles took place in Chicago. In what is arguably the nation’s biggest gun-free…target rich zone, where more than 750 murders took place in 2016, a 58% spike over the previous year, and where a total of 4,368 people were shot last year…

Obama gave his farewell speech.

For the record, in the liberal gun-free Mecca of Chicago…more than 90 people have been shot so far, since January 1st of this year.

But there he was, Mr. Gun Control, and the nation’s leading firearms salesman for 8 years running, licking himself all over…much like my dog does in front of company…telling the assembled socialist collective what a great job he’s done leading our nation…from behind.

Frankly, I was surprised he didn’t drag his butt across the carpet when he was finished, but let’s have a look at some of the highlights from that spreading of manure.

 Tom Cotton Takes on Immigration — Illegal AND 
 Legal 
Ewksoe7kde3REMVqYiyEkLvMbri9HLnovTSZce-S9iFbAOBAWEyaqmMW7xgzWM50jrvXe6pBb0UqRsrGr9FfLwUX__LPmlEOyC8piTOxDrZYZ1pg0r9iRp-TyUU_PA=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=
Arnold Ahlert: In a straightforward New York Times op-ed column, Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) made it clear that Donald Trump intends to make our immigration system work for the people most affected by the current chaos. "For too long, our immigration policy has skewed toward the interests of the wealthy and powerful: Employers get cheaper labor, and professionals get cheaper personal services like housekeeping," Cotton states. "We now need an immigration policy that focuses less on the most powerful and more on everyone else."
          Cotton makes it clear that both illegal and legal immigration are part of the reform mix, noting that Trump "has a clear mandate not only to stop illegal immigration, but also to finally cut the generation-long influx of low-skilled immigrants that undermines American workers."
          There is a tepid move toward accommodating the new reality. Last Wednesday, co-sponsors Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) and Rep. Scott Peters (D-CA) introduced the "Protect and Grow American Jobs Act," aimed at revamping the H-1B visa system American corporations have used to hire foreign workers willing to work for lower wages than their American counterparts.
          The new proposal addresses a loophole created by Congress in 1998 when it simultaneously approved a visa cap increase, but prohibited American worker displacement if a firm employed 15% or more foreign workers. Congress also required companies to show "good faith" effort to hire American workers. But the bill undercut that effort: if a visa-holding foreign worker had a master's degree, or was paid at least $60,000, he could replace an American employee. Issa's bill raises the pay threshold to $100,000 indexed to inflation, and eliminates the master's degree exemption completely.
          The tepid aspect? There are three levels of H1-B workers, ranging from level 1 beginners to the level 3 prevailing wage earners this bill addresses. Yet those level 3 workers represent the 50th percentile of all workers — meaning plenty of the low-skill, low-wage workers Cotton wants to rein in remain unaffected by the legislation. During his campaign, Trump promised to take on companies "importing low-wage workers on H-1B visas to take jobs from young college-trained Americans."
          So what's going on? Issa, et al, represent those interested in the appearance of H-1B visa reform. Trump wants genuine reform. How this ultimately plays out will be a great indication of who will prevail in a power struggle between Republicans who remain beholden to the wealthy and powerful, and a president-elect who has promised to drain the swamp and put Americans first.
          Bet on Trump for the simplest of reasons: millions of Americans are fed up with the odious status quo, and this is his signature issue. He is not about to jeopardize his standing among the public to accommodate the Ruling Class aspirations of either party.
          Cotton eviscerates that segment of the GOP and their industry allies who bemoan the shortage of low-skilled labor, and insist the problem can only be solved with immigrants. "These same industries contend that stricter immigration enforcement will further shrink the pool of workers and raise their wages," Cotton states. "They argue that closing our borders to inexpensive foreign labor will force employers to add benefits and improve workplace conditions to attract and keep workers already here. I have an answer to these charges: Exactly."
          It's critical to note that, for far too long, the game being played in Washington, DC, has been about tradeoffs. As columnist Mark Krikorian so aptly explains, the GOP has used the "'legal good/illegal bad' fallacy" to champion a faux reform consisting of tough border enforcement "accompanied by support for huge increases in immigration."
          Why? Americans have heard it all before. Low-skill legal and illegal immigrants are purportedly doing the jobs "Americans refuse to do" which is partially true, and legal, higher skill immigrants are alleviating a shortage of American STEM workers, which is a bold-faced lie.
          With regard to the former assertion, one suspects a substantial majority of Americans would abide a pecking order consisting of hiring Americans who won't refuse any job, followed by able-bodied adults without dependents (ABAWDs) being required to work as a condition of getting their welfare state benefits, with legal immigrants picking up the slack. With regard to the last group, putting some genuine teeth in Issa's bill would be a great place to start.
          "Our country, like any country, needs borders and must decide who and how many can cross those borders," Cotton explains. "We must make this decision with the well-being of all our citizens in mind. Today, that means a large reduction in legal immigration and a reorientation toward ultra-high-skill immigrants."
          Unsurprisingly, Democrats will reflexively fight all of it, because their quest for unassailable power depends on massive levels of immigration by foreigners who heavily favor big government. Thus Trump and the GOP should expect the usual accusations of racism, xenophobia and heartlessness arising from the Democrat/Leftmedia complex.
          Ignore them. From 1965 to the present, America abided a legal immigration policy that benefited the immigrant, not our nation. It also abided a virtual free-for-all with regard to illegals.
          Putting America first isn't racist, xenophobic or heartless. It's common sense patriotism, and it's about time that mindset had unabashed support from the White House and Congress, especially the GOP majority. If not? Bet on the 2018 mid-terms being another "drain the swamp" election — for recalcitrant GOPers. ~The Patriot Post

{freebeacon.com} ~ Iran is demanding further “compensation” from the United States following claims America violated the nuclear agreement by passing new sanctions on the Islamic Republic... according to comments by senior Iranian officials following meetings with the liar-nObama administration in Vienna. The demand for further concessions by the liar-nObama administration comes on the heels of reports that the United States has deflated the total amount of cash, gold, and other assets provided to the Islamic Republic during the past several years. The sum is believed to be in excess of $10 billion. Iran has threatened to retaliate against the United States in recent weeks following the passage late last year by Congress of the Iran Sanctions Act, or ISA, which will continue to economically penalize Iran for the next 10 years...I agree with Rex Tillison issues with Israel and the Arab nations that Iran is their common enemy.  http://freebeacon.com/national-security/iran-demands-compensation-u-s-breach-nuke-deal/?utm_source=Freedom+Mail&utm_campaign=34a14ecac3-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2017_01_11&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_b5e6e0e9ea-34a14ecac3-45611665

{rickwells.us} ~ Lou Dobbs starts the conversation with an observation of the nasty tone that has been adopted by Democrats, particularly those in the Senate, who are taking their cheap shots at Senator Jeff Sessions... Describing Senator Sessions as, “the nicest guy, the smartest guy, one of the most absolutely exemplary public servants in the country.” Tammy Bruce finds it interesting because Senator Sessions is so well like. The opposition Senators “know this man, and so they know that what they’re doing is false. They know it’s completely theater. They also know that they really won’t be able to put a glove on him, that he’s going to be confirmed and he’ll be an excellent Attorney General. On the topic of the smear being run by CNN and BuzzFeed against Mr. Trump, Dobbs is clearly going out of his way not to mention them by name on the air and provide reward them with publicity in response to their inappropriate and vile actions. He shares some of what he calls the “editorial addendum that was provided by the “editors of this outlet that carries these unverified allegations, which is really giving them more currency than they deserve.”...  http://rickwells.us/dobbs-bruce-meltdown-contemptible-left-hearings-disgraceful-dishonest-theater/

{dailysignal.com} ~ Observers of this week’s confirmation hearings for the post of U.S. attorney general might think it odd to see Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., rewind the clock to a single voter fraud case from the 1980s... Under persistent questioning, Sessions has had to defend his decision to prosecute a case of brazen voter fraud—something that was his job to do. The repeated references to this case by some senators represent just how far the civil rights industry has swerved from its honorable roots to derail a confirmation...Where were you on Eric Holders and the rest of liar-nObama's confirmation pickes?  http://dailysignal.com/2017/01/11/the-real-reason-for-the-lefts-all-out-assault-on-jeff-sessions/?utm_source=TDS_Email&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=MorningBell&mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiTW1Vd056azBaV1JsTmpFNSIsInQiOiJHaUdtdUhKTFwvQVp1c2FYT21cLzFTWTFjTEpMbGE5SXZSTHdOYW5aaGhMbVFmNG1QN3d6TjhTUzdhWXNSOGU4XC82Z1NPMmtcL2lEWWpTOWZrbVRIR1ZKNUpyZk1wQUZQWmdJMFltNG85V3Nodkw0XC9nQzgxc0pyd0lzQlpONnR2anp5In0%3D

{wnd.com} ~ The judges on the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals are often considered among the most liberal in the U.S. After all, they were the ones who allowed a homosexual judge to rule that a vote by Californians against homosexual marriage should be thrown out... But now, three members of the panel have sided with a man who was arrested for reading a Bible on the sidewalk outside a state building. WND reported the state accused two men of engaging in a demonstration or gathering, illegally, outside the state driver’s license office in Hemet, California. The charges were prompted by one of the men who was reading a Bible aloud near a line of people waiting to enter. “The prosecution failed to meet its burden of proof that our clients committed a crime when they read the Bible aloud in front of a line of people,” Robert Tyler, general counsel for Advocates for Faith & Freedom, which worked on the case, said at the time...  http://www.wnd.com/2017/01/liberal-9th-circuit-judges-side-with-man-reading-bible/

Pro-Israel evangelicals
are escaping AIPAC's shadow
by Eli Lake
Ah63tzJn8EtCbYhmWFAqQkBQeVBphCNzE7An_7eSlIcP9GSpS95d8-E4gEoPgTkudUZzJ2ox5oHemDZ2TbbTq-lkfbdt6d8rIpgIb3x6oh6S5LGOheus4dABHNu7_p7ZEUEHdU2acVj5zxxDmvyrdkD8MDQSjei60GvsUoAruV-D_ZoNUp9A82X13Fva=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=
{jewishworldreview.com} ~ Since its founding in 2006, the country's largest evangelical pro-Israel lobby, Christians United for Israel, has been a junior partner to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, or Aipac, when it comes to lobbying Congress.

While there were a few times when the group pushed issues independent of AIPAC, for the most part it has followed the more established lobby's lead in Washington. With Donald Trump about to be sworn in as president, this is beginning to change.

David Brog, the founding executive director of Christians United for Israel, or CUFI, and an active member of its board, told me last week that his organization is better positioned to drive the pro-Israel agenda in Trump's Washington than AIPAC, which has embraced a bipartisan approach for decades to its lobbying for the U.S.-Israel relationship.

This is important because AIPAC is on the record in support of a two-state solution. CUFI, on the other hand, does not take a position on the matter. And while AIPAC has opposed President Barack liar-nObama's efforts to publicly pressure Israel to end settlement activity in the West Bank, it has not supported legislation, for example, to defund the Palestinian Authority. CUFI on the other hand does support such proposals.

"AIPAC's assets were most important during the liar-nObama administration, unfortunately we learned the limits of those assets during the liar-nObama administration too," Brog said. "We believe we have great assets that will be most valuable during a Trump administration, this is not only connections, but speaking for a critical base. I can't think of anyone else on this issue that better represents a base that voted for Trump."

On this, Brog has a good point. CUFI claims 3.3 million members, most of whom are evangelical Christians. The evangelicals supported Trump early in the Republican primaries and came out in large numbers for him in the general election.

CUFI also has strong personal ties to the incoming administration. Gary Bauer, who runs CUFI's Washington lobbying arm, is a personal friend of Vice President-elect Mike Pence. His son is a senior aide to Pence. In 2014, Pence traveled to Israel with a CUFI delegation. Trump's incoming adviser for international negotiations, Jason Greenblatt, left the Republican convention this summer to address CUFI's annual meeting.

AIPAC is a bipartisan organization and it has Republican members who have influence within the party. It is also the best funded foreign policy lobby in Washington. Between Aipac and its sister organization, the American Israel Education Foundation, it has revenue in excess of $125 million annually in recent years. CUFI doesn't release its financial figures, but officials with the group say its budget is a fraction of AIPAC's. Add to this AIPAC's stable of seasoned lobbyists, who often understand the history of legislation and policies effecting Israel better than legislative staffers and members of Congress.

Yet sources within the Trump transition team tell me the group is not favored inside the president-elect's inner circle. This is in part because AIPAC issued a statement following Trump's address to its annual policy conference in March that distanced the organization from what it said were the candidate's ad-hominem attacks against President Barack liar-nObama. But this is also because many Republicans have grown frustrated with AIPAC's handling of the Iran issue. In 2015, every Republican voted against the Iran deal in Congress, but AIPAC only persuaded four Democratic senators to join them. Ultimately, Congress failed to stop the deal that was bitterly opposed by Israel's government.

Brog told me that he expects Trump's approach to Israel policy will break away from what he called "a model that pays excessive homage to bipartisanship and even fetishizes it."

In this sense, Brog expects Trump will be less beholden to the orthodoxy of the two-state solution, a policy supported by both parties since the early 1990s when the Oslo peace negotiations began. "Whatever one's position on the two-state solution is, most Israelis and pragmatists recognize it's not something that can be implemented today. We will see in the Trump administration, an administration that recognizes that reality," he said.

Brog said he appreciates AIPAC's efforts in Washington. He credited the group for helping persuade more than 100 Democrats last week to break with liar-nObama and support a measure condemning the U.N. Security Council resolution the U.S. declined to veto last month that negated Israel's claims to East Jerusalem.

"Where we agree we are thrilled to partner with AIPAC, they are the best of partners," he said. That feeling is mutual. An AIPAC spokesman, Marshall Wittman, told me over the weekend, "We work with CUFI very cooperatively and productively and believe they make an invaluable contribution to strengthening the U.S.-Israel relationship."

Nonetheless, Brog also said CUFI will push for issues in Congress even when AIPAC does not. "Where we disagree, we will go it alone," he said.

This is already beginning to play out. Last month, CUFI launched a new campaign to lobby for legislation from Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham to defund the Palestinian Authority. Consider it the group's declaration of independence from AIPAC.

{familysecuritymatters.org} ~ The Jewish "settlements" in Judea-Samaria actually, villages, suburbs and urban neighborhoods are illegal and must be demolished, and their inhabitants (about 750,000 people) should be expelled... Actually, under the League of Nations Mandate for Palestine, which still remains legally in force despite Britain's abandonment of its responsibilities under the Mandate, Jews have every right to live in these territories, and Israel has the legal obligation of helping them to "settle" there. The Mandate document which defines the obligations of the Palestine "Administration" instructs it to facilitate the settlement of Jews on "state or waste" lands throughout Palestine-which is what Israel has done. International law requires the successor government of a territory to fulfill the legal obligations of the previous administering state when that state withdraws from the territory, as Britain did unilaterally in 1948. And that is the very most that Israel has done in Judea-Samaria since these territories came under its administration in 1967...  http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/detail/falsehoods-lies-and-more-falsehoods-part-ii?f=must_reads

The Arabs had previously refused to accept the armistice line as a border, presumably because agreeing to it might preclude the Palestinians from trying to get the rest of "Palestine", defined by them as "from the river Jordan to the sea Mediterranean" -- meaning all of Israel. Just look at any Palestinian map -- It is identical to the shape of the entirety of Israel. According to Res. 2334, not only are Jewish settlements are illegal, overnight, effectively making their Jewish residents criminals, but the Jewish Quarter, the Western Wall and the Temple Mount in Jerusalem's Old City -- the heart of Judaism for nearly 4,000 years and the seat of Christianity for more than 2,000 years -- are now grotesquely considered "occupied territory"...  https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/9730/un-holocaust-treachery

Sessions Leaves Durbin Wondering What

{rickwells.us} ~ A highlight of Senator Jeff Sessions’ testimony during his confirmation hearings before his Senate colleagues was his reversal of the sanctimonious Senator Dick Durbin’s attempts to portray him as a heartless demagogue with an agenda... The ever-pandering anti-American blowhard from Illinois said in his comments that were ultimately part of his hybrid commentary/ question. Clearly Durbin attempted to portray Senator Sessions in a negative light but what he actually did for those who are opposed to the scofflaw practices and corruption of the Democrat regime is to compile a list of reasons why Sessions is an excellent, principled choice for Attorney General. For the sake of clarification, when Senator Durbin describes someone as being undocumented, he’s not describing someone without documents, he’s describing someone with documents from somewhere else, that isn’t using them because they’re squatting here, where they get lots of free stuff and can take American jobs...  http://rickwells.us/sessions-leaves-durbin-wondering-hit-truth-dick/

When Politics Trumps National Security:
Was Russia Behind the DNC/liar-Clinton Hacks?
by C. Mitchell Shaw
Q5t0AvuBfvaOl4AzzwhF8XUfvsx6chxDMIvtiCm9KA-aJ-phTv9jN6HsGGQXqyW9aGS4eyF4rn_o-a0CumOBmzvqf8VpBi4ED-m0AUDzgaMzezZNo0EhOcqhTAKclLmvrOM02KcqBv7m75K_zVnD=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=
{thenewamerican.com} ~ When President liar-nObama used the waning days of his presidential power to expel 35 Russian intelligence operatives as well as sanctioning five Russian entities and four individuals last week, he said his actions were “a necessary and appropriate response to efforts to harm U.S. interests in violation of established international norms of behavior.” His claim that “Russia’s actions” were planned and executed to “interfere with the U.S. election process” was based on a Joint Analysis Report (JAR) by DHS and the FBI released the day before liar-nObama’s sanctions of Russia. But is that report correct?
 
There is little doubt that Russian hackers have been involved in both cyber-espionage and cyber-sabotage against the United States in the past and probably in the present. In early November 2014, The New American reported on Russian hackers — likely state-sponsored — hacking the systems of the White House itself. That hack — which was discovered by an unnamed “ally” of the United States — resulted in many computer systems in the White House being offline for days while the software used in the attack was removed and passwords were reset.
 
A week after reporting on that hack, The New American reported that Russian hackers — again, likely state-sponsored — had penetrated critical systems in the United States that control vital parts of the nation's infrastructure, including "complex industrial operations such as oil and gas pipelines, power transmission grids, water distribution and filtration systems, wind turbines and even some nuclear plants" and infected those systems with a piece of malware dubbed "BlackEnergy." As we reported then, the malware would allow hackers to remotely shut down or destroy these vital systems, creating chaos and causing untold damage to not only our infrastructure, but also our economy.
 
What is interesting in comparing those two cases to the claims of the recent JAR that Russia attempted to “interfere with the U.S. election process” by hacking the DNC and liar-Clinton campaign is that in neither of those previous cases were any sanctions issued nor was anyone expelled from the country. To make that comparison stand out in sharper contrast, it should be noted that one of the tools the JAR claims was used in the alleged “election
 
As this writer wrote about the White House hack at the time:
This is not an isolated incident. Over the past several years, Russia has been responsible for multiple, sustained attacks on computer systems belonging to governments and security firms with government contracts, according to a report by FireEye Inc. From the Wall Street Journal, "The report is one of four recent assessments by cybersecurity companies, buttressed by reports from Google Inc. and U.S. intelligence agencies, pointing to Russian sponsorship of a skilled hacking campaign dating back to 2007. Targets included NATO, governments of Russia's neighbors, and U.S. defense contractors Science Applications International Corp. and Academi LLC, the U.S. security firm previously known as Blackwater." FireEye has dubbed the cyber-weapon used by the Russians "APT28."
And:
The types of information Russia is targeting would give it a military advantage in the case of conflict. The FireEye report states, "since at least 2007, APT28 has been targeting insider information related to governments, militaries, and security organisations that would likely benefit the Russian government." It's much like the old strategy of football teams trying to get their hands on a rival's playbook. If Russia knows the strengths and weaknesses of other nations, it would be in a better position to act aggressively.
APT28 is a “Spear Phishing” tool which, as the JAR explains, “is known for leveraging domains that closely mimic those of targeted organizations and tricking potential victims into entering legitimate credentials.” The JAR goes on to say, “APT28 actors relied heavily on shortened URLs in their spearphishing email campaigns” and that the hackers using APT28 along with another tool known as APT29. “set up operational infrastructure to obfuscate their source infrastructure, host domains and malware for targeting organizations, establish command and control nodes, and harvest credentials and other valuable information from their targets.” Spear Phishing is a more focused form of Phishing an e-mail attack used to fool people into clicking a link they believe to be legitimate, but which leads to a fake address.
 
The gist of the report is that Russian hackers working under orders from the Kremlin used APT28 and APT29 to direct a Spear Phishing attack on both the DNC and the liar-Clinton campaign for the purpose of leaking the stolen data in an effort to discredit liar-Clinton. The implication, though it is not clearly stated in the report, is that Putin wanted Trump in the White House.
 
Left out of the JAR and the reporting of it by the liberal mainstream media is the simple fact that software is duplicable. Even if APT28 was used in a Spear Phishing attack — which is not certain — it would not prove that Russia was behind the attack. It would prove only that a tool sometimes used by Russians was used in the attack. Software is often left behind on systems after an attack. That software is then analyzed by computer security experts who are capable of copying it. The likelihood that both APT28 and APT29 are in the hands of nearly every tech-savvy government on the planet including the United States is very good. Not to mention the fact that hackers often “borrow” tools from other hackers. The mere presence or alleged presence of the tool is not a smoking gun.
 
Not only that, but both Julian Assange and former British ambassador Craig Murray of WikiLeaks deny that Russia was the source of the leaked DNC and liar-Clinton documents published by the whistleblower website. Casting further doubt on the veracity of the JAR, Mark Maunder, CEO and founder of WordFence, said the PHP code sample listed in the JAR is called “P.A.S. 3.1.0.” and is not only outdated, but is readily available to download from the Internet. WordFence designed a WordPress plugin to protect users of the blogging platform.
 
In a blog post after the release of the report, Maunder wrote, “Our security analysts spend a lot of time analyzing PHP malware, because WordPress is powered by PHP.” He added:
The PHP malware sample they have provided appears to be P.A.S. version 3.1.0 which is commonly available and the website that claims to have authored it says they are Ukrainian. It is also several versions behind the most current version of P.A.S which is 4.1.1b. One might reasonably expect Russian intelligence operatives to develop their own tools or at least use current malicious tools from outside sources.
And Jeffrey Carr, who is the founder and principal investigator of Project Grey Goose, which has investigated other Russian attacks on computer systems, also dismisses the claims that Russia was behind the leaked e-mails and documents that were so damning to the DNC and liar-Clinton campaign. He drew special attention to the fact that documents leaked by the hacker known as Guccifer 2.0 were supposedly stamped with metadata showing they were doctored by someone with the username Felix Dzerzhinsky the founder of the Soviet Secret Police. He wrote:
OK. Raise your hand if you think that a GRU or FSB officer would add Iron Felix’s name to the metadata of a stolen document before he released it to the world while pretending to be a Romanian hacker. Someone clearly had a wicked sense of humor.
The JAR makes big waves, but proves nothing it claims. One is expected to accept it on good faith; but people who lie and manipulate data for political purposes don’t garner very much good faith. As President-elect Trump pointed out in a press conference after the JAR was made public, “I just want them to be sure, because it's a pretty serious charge, and I want them to be sure. And if you look at the weapons of mass destruction, that was a disaster, and they were wrong.” It is now known that when the intelligence community stated that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction, it was a political ploy to involve the U.S. in a war in Iraq, which the American people did not support.
 
This appears to be more of that.
 
Remember that when Russia was the prime and obvious suspect in both the White House cyber-espionage attack and the "BlackEnergy” cyber-sabotage attack, nothing was done. And yet now with little more than a veneer-thin film of evidence to point to Russia, President liar-nObama is bringing the full weight of his waning presidential power to bear against Russia. It is apparent that this is purely political. Even the way it has been reported has served those political purposes.
 
While the intelligence community has only claimed that Russia was behind the leaked e-mails and documents, the reporting of the liberal mainstream media has created an impression that has caused 50 percent of those polled who say they voted for liar-Clinton to believe that “Russia tampered with vote tallies in order to get Donald Trump elected president.” Going a step further than even other media outlets, the Washington Post got caught up in the Russian feeding frenzy and found itself in the position of having to retract a story about Russia hacking a Vermont utility.
 
Riding the mendacity of the pseudo-reporting of the left-wing media and the weak assumptions of the JAR, President liar-nObama’s issuing of sanctions and expulsion of Russian intelligence operatives appears to be designed to strangle Trump’s presidency while it is still in the cradle. By taking such audacious action with less than one month left before he turns the keys of the White House over to Trump, liar-nObama puts Trump in the position to either reverse that action or let it stand. Either way, Trump may appear to “confirm” the accusations of liar-Clinton and others in the DNC that he is Putin’s puppet.

I wanted to share the following recent article that revealed that George Soros secretly gave ‘$4 Million to destroy Israel’ and the ‘Media is hiding it.’ If True-What’s wrong with this picture?-You Decide:4063907555?profile=originalBOMBSHELL – George Soros Secretly Gave $4 MILLION to Destroy Israel, Media Hiding It!-Posted on Angry Patriot-On January 12, 2017:

George Soros’ leaked emails reveal multiple dastardly deeds, but the mainstream media are trying to hide the truth from us all.

Soros, a huge Hillary Clinton fan and longtime mentor, has been using his big wads of cash to influence and corrupt elections and governments in both the United States and Europe. According to his recently leaked emails, Soros gave $4 million to anti-Israel groups so they could engage in “challenging Israel’s racist and anti-democratic policies.”

Video: George Soros: (Helping Nazis) "Was The Happiest Time of my Life"!-Posted on YouTube.cvom-By The Great Work-On February 14, 2017:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hq2r0IFzgBc

DC Leaks published more than 2,500 emails going back to 2008 from Soros’ Open Society Foundations’ servers. According to a shocking report about hacked emails by the Observer, the liberal billionaire even referenced the Holocaust in the electronic missives.

Soros reportedly told reporter Steve Kroft in a televised interview that walking the streets of Budapest with his “faux godfather” to steal the property of his fellow Jewish people, under Hitler’s reign, was “the most exhilarating time” of his life. The same report maintained Soros has always had a problem with both his Jewish roots and the idea of creating a Jewish state.

One of Soros’ foundations, the New Israel Fund, reportedly teaches Israeli-Arabs and Jewish liberals how to use the law and the courts to thwart efforts to build a Jewish state. His son, Alexander Soros, appears to be preparing to follow in his daddy’s footsteps and is already rubbing elbows with Democrat elites.

The Jerusalem Post reports Soros’s Open Society gave nearly $10 million to groups advancing the rights of Arab Israelis since 2001. The groups or the projects that the money was slated to be used for reportedly had an emphasis on countering Israel’s “restrictive measures” against minorities.

“In recent years, the radicalization of public opinion and consecutive Israeli right wing governments have resulted in more restrictive measures against Palestinians within Israel,” a September 2015 review of Open Society’s Arab Regional Office’s work reportedly stated.

The Open Society document also declares the Jewish Nation State bill to be a restrictive measure which harms minorities in Israel. The bill has not yet garnered enough votes for passage.

Also, the organization’s Arab Regional Office noted enhanced advocacy by Palestinian citizens of Israel (PCI) in international forums as a plus, as it would help combat Israel’s “racist” policies. The notion of Israel being a democracy also appears to be mocked.

“In shifting to international advocacy, PCI’s are up against Israel and its image as a democratic state before the international community, therefore Palestinian civil society organizations in Israel feel the pressure of filling this gap by strengthening their relations with international actors and systems, such as the European Union and United Nations, to put their issue on the international agenda,” the George Soros Open Society memo also stated.

The leaked Soros emails reportedly showed plans to give $200,000 to the Center for American Politics to launch a nasty smear campaign against American conservatives in 2014. In 2015, his far-left Open Society gave $650,000 to “invest in technical assistance and support” for anti-police Black Lives Matter groups.

4063359777?profile=originalNote:  The following eye-opening article from the past revealed Obama and George Soros’s plan to create a 'Palestine State'-You Decide:

 

Obama, Soros create ‘Palestine’: ‘Invest in Arab ‘country’ that lacks recognition’Posted on WND.com-By Bob Unruh-On February 11, 2011:

JERUSALEM – In partnership with a government fund initiated by Barack Obama, philanthropist and billionaire activist George Soros is investing in a private equity company that just launched in the Palestinian territories.

The company, Siraj Fund Management Company, says it was created “for the sole purpose of managing investment funds in Palestine.”

The new company’s website repeatedly refers to what it calls the “country” of “Palestine.” There is, however, no such country as Palestine. Siraj is apparently referring to territories controlled by the Palestinian Authority.

“Siraj has plans to launch future funds focused on the Palestinian market thereby contributing to the sustainable development of the country,” states the website.

This marks the latest involvement of Soros in Middle Eastern affairs.

WND reported last week Soros has been funding groups pushing for democracy in Egypt and is associated with an opposition leader there who has been fueling protests toppling the regime of President Hosni Mubarak, a key U.S. ally in the region.

WND also reported an international “crisis management” group led by Soros long has petitioned for the Egyptian government to normalize ties with the Muslim Brotherhood, the main opposition in Egypt.

This week, Siraj Fund Management Company, the first private equity fund in the Palestinian territories, officially launched in the West Bank city of Ramallah.

Soros’ Economic Development Fund invested in the new group alongside the U.S. government-owned Overseas Private Investment Corporation, or OPIC.

OPIC is an independent agency of the US government that mobilizes private sector investment in new and emerging markets overseas.

In 2009, OPIC created its Global Technology and Innovation Fund, which invested in Siraj, in response to an initiative by Obama to launch an investment group to support technological development in Muslim-majority countries.

The initiative followed Obama’s historic address to the Muslim world from Cairo, Egypt in June 2009.

The U.S. fund invested with Soros in the West Bank’s new Siraj Fund Management Company, which was created to manage investment funds in a “country” Siraj repeatedly refers to in its official literature and website as “Palestine.”

Palestine is a conventional name used to describe a geographic region between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River. The name “Palestine” comes from the ancient word meaning “Philistines” or “Land of the Philistines.” Palestinian Arabs have no relation to ancient Philistines.

“Palestine” previously referred to a future Jewish state in the decades before its founding in 1948. Indeed, the Jerusalem Post, the country’s English newspaper, was previously called the Palestine Post. Jerusalem’s Jewish philharmonic was previously called the Palestine Orchestra.

The use of “Palestine” by the Siraj Fund Management Company seems to refer to a Palestinian state, which has not yet been established. After the 1967 Six Day War, Palestinians began referring to their desire for a future country possibly called “Palestine.”

Siraj Fund’s initial closing was $60 million and is expected to close at $80 million in the coming months. The Fund’s capital includes about half participation from foreign investors, the other half are Palestinians and Arabs.

Besides the U.S. government and Soros’ organization, other foreign investors in Saraj include the Pension Boards of the United Church of Christ and Crescent Investments of the United Arab Emirates.

Soros fingerprints on Mideast chaos

The International Crisis Group, or ICG, which includes Soros among its eight executive committee members, long has petitioned for the Egyptian government to normalize ties with the Muslim Brotherhood.

The ICG also released a report urging the Egyptian regime to allow the Brotherhood to establish an Islamist political party.

The ICG includes on its board Mohamed ElBaradei, one of the main opposition leaders in Egypt, as well as other personalities who champion dialogue with Hamas, a violent offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood.

In a June 2008 report entitled, “Egypt’s Muslim Brothers Confrontation or Integration,” Soros’ ICG urges the Egyptian regime to allow the group to participate in political life.

The report dismisses Egypt’s longstanding government crackdown on the Muslim Brotherhood as “dangerously short-sighted.”

The ICG report called on Mubarak’s regime to “pave the way for the regularization of the Muslim Brothers’ participation in political life,” including by allowing for the “establishment of a political party with religious reference.”

The ICG specifically stressed allowing the Brotherhood to serve as an Islamist party several times in its 2008 report.

The ICG and its personalities also long have petitioned for the Muslim Brotherhood to be allowed to join the Egyptian government.

ElBaradei suspended his board membership in the ICG two weeks ago, after he returned to Egypt to lead the anti-Mubarak protests.

U.S. board members include Zbigniew Brzezinski, who was national security adviser to Jimmy Carter; Samuel Berger, who was Bill Clinton’s national security adviser; and retired U.S. ambassador Thomas Pickering, who made headlines in 2009 after meeting with Hamas leaders and calling for the U.S. to open ties to the Islamist group.

Another ICG member is Robert Malley, a former adviser to Obama during the 2008 presidential campaign. He resigned after it was exposed he had communicated with Hamas. WND reported Malley long had petitioned for dialogue with Hamas.

The ICG defines itself as an “independent, non-profit, multinational organization, with 100 staff members on five continents, working through field-based analysis and high-level advocacy to prevent and resolve deadly conflict.”

Meanwhile, Soros also has other ties to opposition groups in the Middle East.

His Open Society Institute’s Middle East and North Africa Initiative has provided numerous grants to a wide range of projects that promote so-called democratic issues across the region, including in Egypt, where the Muslim Brotherhood stands to gain from any future election.

Soros’ Open Society also funded the main opposition voice in Tunisia, Radio Kalima, which championed the riots there that led to the ouster of President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali.

In September, Soros’ group was looking to expand its operations in Egypt by hiring a new project manager for its Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights, which is run in partnership with the Open Society Justice Initiative. The group is seeking to develop a national network of legal empowerment actors for referral of public-interest law cases. Such organizations in the past have helped represent Muslim Brotherhood leaders seeking election or more authority in the country.

Soros himself last Friday made public statements in support of the protests in Egypt, which the Mubarak government has warned will result in the rise of the Muslim Brotherhood in the country.

In a Washington Post editorial entitled, “Why Obama Has to Get Egypt Right,” Soros recognized that if free elections were held in Egypt, “the Brotherhood is bound to emerge as a major political force, though it is far from assured of a majority.”

He stated the U.S. has “much to gain by moving out in front and siding with the public demand for dignity and democracy” in Egypt.

He claimed the “Muslim Brotherhood’s cooperation with Mohamed ElBaradei … is a hopeful sign that it intends to play a constructive role in a democratic political system.”

Soros did not mention his ties to ElBaradei.

Soros did, however, single out Israel as “the main stumbling block” in paving the way toward transition in the Middle East.

“In reality, Israel has as much to gain from the spread of democracy in the Middle East as the United States has. But Israel is unlikely to recognize its own best interests because the change is too sudden and carries too many risks,” he wrote.

Muslim Brotherhood awakens terrorist wing

WND reported this week an Egyptian Islamist terrorist organization founded by the Muslim Brotherhood is re-establishing itself amid the political upheaval in Cairo

Both Egyptian and Israeli security officials said the group, Al-Gama’a al-Islamiyya, is being reconstituted at the direction of the Muslim Brotherhood.

The officials affirmed Al-Gama’a al-Islamiyya serves as the de facto “military” wing of the Brotherhood, which originally founded Al-Gama’a al-Islamiyya.

Al-Gama’a al-Islamiyya is suspected of involvement in the 1981 assassination of Egyptian president Anwar Sadat and it took credit for the 1995 attempt on the life of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak. It has carried out scores of deadly terrorist attacks, some targeting foreign tourists.

The Muslim Brotherhood seeks to spread Islam around the world. Hamas and al-Qaida are violent Brotherhood offshoots.

While the Brotherhood claimed it abandoned violence to push for a peaceful takeover of Egypt, the group’s new spiritual leader, Muhammad Badi, recently publicly has called for violent jihad, including against the U.S.

On Sunday, an Egyptian security official was quoted in the news media stating Egyptian troops had arrested two armed Palestinians from Hamas who entered the country illegally from the Gaza Strip.

The security official told reporters the men had crossed from Gaza into Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula using smuggling tunnels and that they were arrested in a stolen car in the town of el-Arish, near the border, along with three Egyptian smugglers.

The official told the Associated Press the two Hamas men were caught with weapons, hand grenades, two RPGs and about $8,600 in cash.

A senior Egyptian security official speaking to WND on Monday said an investigation found the two Hamas men were aiding in the reorganization of Al-Gama’a al-Islamiyya, which, he said, is attempting to reconstitute itself under the direction of the Muslim Brotherhood.

The Egyptian security official said Hamas is helping Al-Gama’a al-Islamiyya organize into divisions and to arm itself with weapons currently in the Sinai waiting to be smuggled into Gaza.

Both Israel and Egypt say Hamas has amassed a large quantity of weapons in the Sinai Peninsula, where the Islamist group has been attempting to smuggle the weaponry into Gaza.

Now, the Egyptian security official said, some of those weapons are going to arm the reconstituted Al-Gama’a al-Islamiyya.

Notorious terrorist attacks

Al-Gama’a al-Islamiyya was founded by the Muslim Brotherhood, and is classified as a terrorist group by the U.S., European Union and Egypt. Like the Muslim Brotherhood, the group is dedicated to the overthrow of Mubarak, seeking to replace his regime with an Islamic state.

The group has carried out numerous deadly attacks.

Al-Gama’a al-Islamiyya may have been involved indirectly in Sadat’s assassination. The group’s leader has talked publicly about collaborating in planning the murder with the Egyptian Islamic Jihad, which was blamed for the killing.

In the late 1980s and 1990s, Al-Gama’a al-Islamiyya carried out scores of terrorist acts in Egypt, including the murders and attempted murders of prominent Egyptian writers and intellectuals. The group also targeted tourists and foreigners.

In 1997, it carried out the notorious Luxor massacre in Luxor, Egypt, killing 58 foreign tourists and four Egyptians. Al-Gama’a al-Islamiyya went on a shooting rampage in that attack, even reportedly mutilating the bodies of victims. A note praising Islam was found inside one disemboweled body.

One year earlier, in 1996, Al-Gama’a al-Islamiyya carried out a shooting rampage at the Europa Hotel in Cairo, killing 18 Greek tourists.

In 1995, the group took responsibility for a car bomb attack on the Egyptian embassy in Islamabad, Pakistan, murdering 16 people.

After a massive Egyptian crackdown on the group in 1997 following the Luxur attack, Al-Gama’a al-Islamiyya brokered a deal with the Egyptian government that is known as the Nonviolence Initiative, in which some leaders of the movement said they renounced violence.

Still, exiled leaders of Al-Gama’a al-Islamiyya maintained the group would not give up its violence.

Brotherhood declares war on U.S.

Multiple prominent U.S. commentators also have been claiming the Muslim Brotherhood is a moderate organization and denying any Islamist plot to seize power.

In November, the Brotherhood’s new supreme guide, Muhammad Badi, delivered a sermon entitled, “How Islam Confronts the Oppression and Tyranny.”

“Resistance is the only solution,” stated Badi. “The United States cannot impose an agreement upon the Palestinians, despite all the power at its disposal. [Today] it is withdrawing from Iraq, defeated and wounded, and is also on the verge of withdrawing from Afghanistan because it has been defeated by Islamist warriors.”

Badi went on to declare the U.S. is easy to defeat through violence, since it is “experiencing the beginning of its end and is heading toward its demise.”

4063359777?profile=originalNote:  The following articles from the past revealed Obama’s Foreign Policy Advisor and her core motives and influence that ultimately led to the president’s actions in 'Libya, along with her disturbing views regarding Israel', along with her connection to George Soros-You Decide:

 

The Rise of Samantha Power and the risks for the American- Israel relationshipPosted on American Thinker-By Ed Lasky-On March 20, 2011:

“As stories leak out regarding who was responsible for Barack Obama’s sudden pivot from passivity regarding Libya towards military engagement (albeit with England and France being in the lead) one name has emerged as playing a key role in persuading him to push the button: Samantha Power.

Her influence might cause qualms among supporters of the American-Israel relationship.

As has been covered by American Thinker and others (notably Noah Pollak in Commentary Contentions, among them), Power has been critical of the strength of this friendship and alliance. This concern should be now be heightened. Not only has she emerged as a key player in foreign policy, but the rationale that was used to justify American actions towards Libya can be used by other nations – if not the United States – to justify more active involvement in the Israel-Palestinian conflict.

Power was Barack Obama’s most influential foreign policy adviser during the campaign; they go back years and are basketball and Blackberrybuddies. Any influence she has would not be good for the American-Israel relationship-for reasons outlined here and here (where she said this regarding problems Barack Obama had during the campaign; “So much of it is about: Is he good for the Jews?”

Power may also have played a role in the granting of the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Mary Robinson, a person with a checkered record regarding actions towards Israel.

She now serves on the National Security Council. Foreign-policy making in this administration has been opaque at best. But one dynamic that has been now made clear is that Power has emerged as a key player.

From John Podhoretz’s column in the New York Post:

  • The Tuesday-evening meeting at the White House at which the president decided to move on Libya was “extremely contentious,” according to a report in Josh Rogin’s excellent blog, The Cable.
  • Power and a few others took the position that the United States couldn’t stay on the sidelines as Moammar Khadafy murdered his own people and snuffed out the people-power revolt in the Middle East in its infancy.
  • They were opposed by Power’s own boss, National Security Adviser Tom Donilon and by Defense Secretary Robert Gates.

But apparently, Samantha Power and Hillary Clinton persuaded Barack Obama to act. The rationale they used that led to military can come back to haunt friends of Israel’s.

Again, from Podhoretz:

  • According to Rogin, the governing doctrine that helped Obama to make his decision to act was not an appeal to the national interest, but rather to a recent concept promulgated at the United Nations called “responsibility to protect,” or R2P.
  • R2P is an effort to create a new international moral standard to prevent violence against civilians.
  • In her career as a genocide expert, Power was an indefatigable proponent of R2P, and now on the National Security Council has been “trying to figure out how the administration could implement R2P and what doing so would require of the White House going forward.” Hillary is her ally in this effort, it appears.

So it was not an appeal to our national interest that led President Obama to act but rather a new concept circulating in international policy circles – and one actively promoted by Power – that prompted his shift.

(By the way, the fact that Power played a key role in persuading Barack Obama to apply military force to protect civilians in Libya is akin to the same advice she counseled regarding Israel: Power also advocated that America send armed military forces, “a mammoth protection force” and an “external intervention”, to impose a settlement between Israel and the Palestinians).

But there are other problems inherent in the concept of R2P (how easy that must be to tap out on Blackberrys) and with the precedent that has now been established that allows international intervention.

It is not hard to envision that this R2P concept, swirling through the United Nations and in international foreign policy circles, can one day be applied against Israel when that nation is forced to respond from attacks coming from the West Bank, Gaza, and Lebanon. Terrorists hide behind civilians; Israeli actions to defend themselves often happen in densely populated areas where civilian deaths are almost inevitable – despite all the precautions Israel takes to prevent them.

Power’s promotion of the R2P concept is not a surprise. Barack Obama’s adoption of the same concept should be cause for concern. A Pandora’s Box may have just been opened. Power’s emergence as a key player, and her influence over the President, who already is inclined to outsource American foreign policy to the “international community,” should heighten this concern.

Just one more reason to try to keep track of the role and influence that Samantha Power has in the Oval Office. If Hillary Clinton decides to resign as Secretary of State (she has already declared she will not serve in a second term) there will be a reshuffling of positions of power (Susan Rice, Samantha Power, etc) and there is no telling who may end up moving closer to the center of power.

UPDATE:

The always astute Omri Ceren has more regarding the R2P concept over at Commentary Contentions. He notes that there is a bit of history regarding the concept’s application to the Israel-Palestinian conflict. There was a group created in 2009, the International Coalition For The Responsibility To Protect, that has spoken out against Israel, notably during Israel’s Operation Cast Lead in Gaza.

The Coalition released this statement:

The recent escalation of violence in Gaza has raised serious questions about the use of the Responsibility to Protect to urge international action to protect civilians in the conflict.

The Responsibility to Protect has been referred to, notably by Richard Falk, UN Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories, but also others who claim that crimes committed in Gaza by Israeli forces have reached the threshold of R2P crimes.

Ceren continues:

  • This is part and parcel of the statements that the ICRtoP has been publishing since it was established in the immediate aftermath of Cast Lead. They published a petition absurdly insisting that “the rocket attacks on Israel by Hamas deplorable as they are, do not… amount to an armed attack entitling Israel to rely on self-defence.” They passed along Richard Falk’s “Israelis could be charged with war crimes” lawfare spin on the Goldstone Report. They reprinted other articles accusing Israelis of war crimes here and here and here and here and here. All of this was under the umbrella of “evaluating” whether R2P should be brought to bear against Israel’s self-defense campaigns.

The Responsibility To Protect, in other words, is an international norm that has been incubated with eyes on Israel at least since Cast Lead.

Now Samantha Power has seemingly slipped this concept into the mind and policies of Barack Obama. Once these international “concepts” are formed and promoted they often transform from mere intellectual ideas into the basis of international policy.

Israel should be worried.

Update II:

One more clue to Power being the promoter of the R2P concept within the Obama administration is her history. She opened a symposium put on the by the International Coalition for The Responsibility To Protect (ICR2P) as recently as November, 2010, with a keynote address. Furthermore, Sergio Vieira, was an international diplomat who pioneered the concept of the “responsibility to protect.” Vieira was later killed in a suicide bombing attack in Iraq. Power wrote an admiring biography (if not a hagiography) of Vieira a few years ago that noted his role in developing and promoting that concept.

Concepts become norms and, in the wrong hands, norms can become weapons.

A Palestinian man walks past a graffiti of late Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat (R) and assassinated Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO) deputy leader Khalil al-Wazir, also known as Abu Jihad, in Gaza City on August 6, 2009. Israel has for the first time admitted assassinating the PLO's former number two, Abu Jihad, in a raid on the movement's Tunis headquarters in 1988, a newspaper reported on November 1, 2012. The report, published in Israel's top-selling Yediot Aharonot, said the operation was planned by the Mossad spy agency and carried out by the Sayeret Matkal elite commando unit.

The Fght For Obamacare

Hmmm... "Veddy interestink. But stupid!"

In an attempt to stop the repeal of the personal and economic DISASTER that has been Obamacare, socialist 2016 LOSER, senator Bernie Sanders, b*tched and moaned about "what'll happen to the "28 MILLION" that still don't have health care".

???!!!

Wait a sec! O-care was supposed to be the savior (after his highness Obama himself, of course). It has been law for the last 6 or 7 years,
right? So, how can there still be "28 MILLION" not receiving medical treatment?!  Could this be the actual number of ILLEGAL ALIENS in the USA?!

Then, the one who had happily BENT OVER for Hillary and the DNC also said that the world is laughing at us, or something, because the USA is the only country not providing medical care for EVERYBODY.

> First of all, true Americans don't give a rat's @ss about the socialist / progressive world. If we did, Hillary Clinton would've been the one setting up her Cabinet as we speak - and it still wouldn't've been YOU, comrad Bernie!

> Second, ANYONE here can go to a local inner city clinic, or a hospital Emergency Ruum, and receive treatment - and they WON'T get turned away!

> Third: The Left's decades-long argument wanting a totally govt run medical care system...a la Fidel Castro...had already been established almost 87yrs ago. It's called The US Dept of Veterans Affairs (July 21, 1930). How's that working out?! 

Wait! Allow me: It's NOT!  Go away, Bernie. Retire. This guy had CHOSEN to live an impoverished life in his LONG GONE youth - w/ the very intention of taking his pro-communist stance. Then, he got into office...

His "struggle" today is paying the taxes on his TWO properties. He had THREE! The man that took a stand for "the workers" had never worked a day in his damned life!

"Poor" Bernie Sanders owns TWO properties today. Wow! Must be nice!  The same can be said about the Obamas, the Clintons, Harry Reid, Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton - just to name a few.  One thing's for sure: POLITICS PAYS OFF!

 Sanders, Not Streep, Actually Gets It

Last night, one of the most privileged classes of American society gathered to celebrate its own greatness by giving its members awards at Hollywood's annual Golden Globes. As is often the case with Hollywood elites, the leftist worldview reigns supreme, and there was a palpable anti-Trump vibe throughout the event. That culminated with Meryl Streep's diatribe in which she declared Hollywood to be the true victim of Donald Trump's election. In the classic manner of an elitist bully, Streep spoke from her leftist ivory tower with thinly veiled scorn against Trump without actually saying his name. Obviously, Streep sees that there is only one acceptable political perspective and no other views will be tolerated.
          Clearly, much of America didn't listen to preachy celebrities in deciding how to vote, and like all Democrats, much of Hollywood has yet to come to grips with the fact that they are not as relevant as they may have believed.
          In one of the most disingenuous portions of her speech, Streep lectured, "Disrespect invites disrespect. Violence incites violence. And when the powerful use their position to bully others, we all lose." So, who truly is the bully here, Ms. Streep? Ironically, if it is respect that she seeks, then disrespecting the views and opinions of others less privileged than herself seems a rather dubious manner by which to gain it.
          Even septuagenarian socialist Bernie Sanders sees the problem, stating on Friday that the Democrats lost because they're out of touch with much of America. "I happen to believe that the Democratic Party has been not doing a good job in terms of communicating with people in cities, in towns and in rural America — all over this country," he said. "Look, you can't simply go around to wealthy people's homes raising money and expect to win elections. You've got to go out and mix it up and be with ordinary people."
          It's as if the remark was pointed not just at Streep but Barack liar-nObama, who celebrated the end of "eight great years" this past weekend with — what else — a White House party full of Hollywood celebrities.
          Leftist Hollywood elites along with Democrats who continue to bemoan the election results need to come to grips with the fact that Americans rejected what they were selling. Peddling worthless junk in a pretty box doesn't make it any less garbage.

 National Concealed Carry Reciprocity Coming Soon? 
8eGlD183wjsdm8aUwClhdJx2dn4920ACdToe9LmCQKUeulLkl7_OslqGjuq39D665Hx7kghYgNs9I-6x-Hz4sWcFSiGC_AmZQfwqCQ67IGfLy9Rj6RygFCzow-uwZQ=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=
In 1833, Supreme Court Justice Joseph Story wrote, "The right of the citizens to keep and bear arms has justly been considered as the palladium of the liberties of a republic; since it offers a strong moral check against the usurpation and arbitrary power of rulers; and will generally, even if these are successful in the first instance, enable the people to resist and triumph over them." Those words are every bit as true today.
          That's why it's important that Rep. Richard Hudson (R-NC) has now introduced the Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of 2017, which requires states to recognize each other's concealed carry firearm permits, though citizens must abide by the laws of whatever state they're visiting. "Our Second Amendment right doesn't disappear when we cross state lines, and this legislation guarantees that," Hudson said in a statement. "The Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of 2017 is a common sense solution to a problem too many Americans face. It will provide law-abiding citizens the right to conceal carry and travel freely between states without worrying about conflicting state codes or onerous civil suits."
          Conservatives are normally hesitant to create federal law that overrides state law. But in this case, it's gun grabbers who are hiding behind the principle of federalism. We don't believe states like Illinois, for example, are abiding by the Second Amendment, and many constitutionalists believe the Fourteenth Amendment "incorporates" all the Bill of Rights against the states. In other words, Illinois can't infringe on the Second Amendment rights of its citizens or of the residents of other states whose concealed carry permits are void upon crossing its border. Several deep blue states — California, New York and Oregon among them — do not recognize any other state's permit.
          Consider a driver's license, on the other hand. Any state's driver's license allows its holder to drive in any other state, subject to the laws of the state in which he or she is driving. Concealed carry reciprocity already works in a similar manner for states that allow it. It's time a right actually enumerated in the Constitution worked the same way.  ~The Patriot Post

{rickwells.us} ~ Lou Dobbs and Judge Andrew Napolitano discuss the dumping of documents by the FBI during the Giants Vs Packers NFL game, which indicate the liar-Hillary Clinton was emailing classified documents to someone outside the government, on a regular basis... Lou Dobbs asks if it is enough evidence and sorts through many of the worms in this newly opened can with Judge Napolitano. Dobbs begins by pointing out that we have no idea who at the FBI was in possession of the documents or their reason for dumping them to the public or their motivations for the timing. He diplomatically says of the documents, “They suggest clearly that there are a lot of misunderstandings about what was held by Mrs. liar-Clinton, what was communicated by her and to her, of a highly sensitive nature.” Judge Napolitano says, “The highly sensitive nature was 301 pages of emails, which Mrs. liar-Clinton sent on a regular basis to a non-government person. We have reason to believe that that was Sid Blumenthal, with whom she emailed on a daily and regular basis, several times a day. What we now know, what Donald Trump feared, and argued during the campaign, and what rogue FBI agents who profoundly disagreed with Director Comey’s decision to recommend against indictment was true. That the information Mrs. liar-Clinton regularly sent to her emailer was hacked by foreign intelligence agencies of countries unfriendly to us and friendly to us.”...This should be the big issue not the Russians hack.  http://rickwells.us/dobbs-new-fbi-release-clinton-sent-classified-emails-civilian-intercepted-by-russia-china/

New Intelligence Report Fails to Prove Russia Behind DNC/lar-Clinton Campaign Leaks
by C. Mitchell Shaw
{thenewamerican.com} ~ On Friday, the intelligence community followed up on a previous report by issuing “a declassified version of a highly classified assessment that has been provided to the President and to recipients approved by the President.”... The new report — entitled “Assessing Russian Activities and Intentions in Recent US Elections” — makes the same bold claims as and offers no more proof than the previous Joint Analysis Report (JAR) by DHS and the FBI released in late December. The new report is a product of the CIA, FBI, and NSA, and runs 25 pages in all. Of those 25 pages, the first 10 are an introduction containing “background” in the form of various disclaimers and a Cliff’s Notes version of the assessment. Under the heading “Key Judgments,” the introduction states:...  http://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/politics/item/25104-new-intelligence-report-falis-to-prove-russia-behind-dnc-clinton-campaign-leaks?utm_source=iContactPro&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=TNA+Top+Daily+Headlines

liar-nObama Is Using the Russians as an
Excuse to Expand Federal Power over Elections

{nationalreview.com} ~ A decentralized election system makes large-scale hacking nearly impossible. We should keep it that way.
                                                                                          The liar-nObama Administration is leaving office much like the way it came in — by exploiting perceived crises. “You never want a serious crisis to go to waste,” Rahm Emanuel, liar-nObama’s just-named chief of staff, told a Wall Street Journal conference of top CEOs in November 2008 while his boss was still president-elect. Since then a slew of constitutionally dubious executive orders, presidential emergencies, and rushed legislation have characterized the liar-nObama presidency. Now he is leaving office by issuing a blizzard of “midnight regulations” and edicts.
 
One of the most troublesome came last Friday and gave the federal government the power to begin centralizing our election systems. The Constitution explicitly gives states the power to set the “times, manner and places of holding elections.”
 
But Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson used the excuse of Friday’s release of a report on Russian hacking of the Democratic National Committee to declare that state and local voting systems will be designated as “pieces of critical infrastructure” so that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) can protect them from hackers.
 
His move — coming just 15 days before President liar-nObama leaves office — led many experts to question both its wisdom and its constitutionality. “While the federal government has the general power to protect the nation’s cyber infrastructure, it cannot intrude into areas of state sovereignty without clear constitutional mandate,” John Yoo, a law professor at UC Berkeley, told CNSNews.com.
 
“There is no federal power to control or secure elections. Each state administers its own elections, restricted only by constitutional protections for voting rights,” agreed Illya Shapiro, senior fellow in constitutional studies at the Cato Institute. “It may make sense for states to request federal support here, but it would set a dangerous precedent for a federal agency to unilaterally take over state electoral processes.”
 
Secretary Johnson’s decision sparked outrage from many of those who are most knowledgeable about our election system — the 50 secretaries of state who, along with local officials, run the election process. Even Johnson admitted that “many of them are opposed to this designation.” And how.
 
Secretary of State Brian Kemp of Georgia, told me in an interview that Johnson’s action “uses security as an excuse to subvert the Constitution and establish the basis for federal encroachment into election systems.” Vermont Secretary of State Jim Candos, a Democrat, told Politico that such a move is “kind of the nose under the tent,” adding:
What I think a lot of folks get concerned about is when the federal government says, “Well, look, we’re not really interested in doing that, but we just want to give you this,” and then all of a sudden this leads to something else.
The reason that state and local officials strongly oppose the liar-nObama-Johnson power grab is that they know the decentralized U.S. election system makes large-scale hacking almost impossible. Secretary Johnson even conceded in a recent telephone conference call with state officials that there is no credible threat of a successful cyberattack on the voting and ballot-counting process, despite revelations about recent attacks on the voter-registration systems in Arizona and Illinois.
 
Those systems — maintained by states and county governments — are separate and distinct from the voting machines used on Election Day in nearly 200,000 precincts around the country. The same is true for the machines that count the ballots.
 
The hacks in Arizona and Illinois, in which voter-registration data were copied but not altered, illustrate the danger of online voter registration, but they are not an indication of the vulnerability of our ballot counting.
 
Rather than pursue more authority over election systems, the liar-nObama administration should have been more worried that its director of the federal Office of Personnel Management (OPM) had to resign last July after hackers stole the personal data of 21.5 million current and former federal employees. The stolen information included employees’ addresses, Social Security numbers, financial and military records, and security clearances from OPM’s data bases. No one else has been disciplined for that breach, even though OPM had for months ignored clear warnings about the agency’s vulnerabilities.
 
So color me darkly suspicious that the liar-nObama administration, in its very last days in office, has suddenly decided to shift into action on the alleged dangers of election hacking. It looks all too much like an excuse to seize more power from state authorities, and it resembles the administration’s other moves on election law: filing lawsuits against popular voter-ID laws, blocking states from requiring a proof of citizenship when people register to vote, and refusing for eight years to enforce federal laws that require states to clean up their voter rolls if they accept federal money for their operations.

Missing from the Intelligence Report:
 The Word 'Podesta'
by ANDREW C. MCCARTHY

{familysecuritymatters.org} ~ There is a word missing from the non-classified report issued Friday, in which three intelligence agencies assess "Russia's Influence Campaign Targeting the 2016 US Presidential Election."... The FBI, CIA, and NSA elide any mention of . . . "Podesta." Seems like a pretty significant omission - not just because of how the 2016 campaign played out but also in light of the intelligence community's recent history of politicizing its analyses. The report is replete with references to Russian "cyber espionage," "covert intelligence," "false-flag," "propaganda," and "influence" operations by which Vladimir Putin is alleged to have tried to put his thumb on the electoral scale. Very sinister stuff, to be sure. But when the public hears these terms, it thinks of spies, misdirection, disinformation campaigns - i.e., schemes intended to deceive the target audience. People don't instantly think, "Oh, you mean an effort to publicize true but embarrassing information"; they don't read "covert operation" and say to themselves, "That must mean they subjected only one side of a political contest to a high level of scrutiny." That's the kind of behavior people associate with the American media, not the Kremlin...

Yahya Ayyash, a Hamas mass murderer
{gatestoneinstitute.org} ~ Palestinian youths are being urged to follow in the footsteps of Yahya Ayyash, a Hamas mass murderer who masterminded a wave of suicide bombings that killed and wounded hundreds of Israelis... Ayyash's expertise in manufacturing explosive devices earned him the nickname "The Engineer" and turned him into a hero in the eyes of many Palestinians. The bomb-maker was killed by Israeli security forces on January 5, 1996, thereby ending one of the bloodiest chapters of Palestinian terrorism against Israel. Two decades later, this arch-terrorist is still being revered as a hero and martyr. His murderous legacy and personality are being glorified not only by his Hamas supporters, but also by the "moderate" Western-funded Palestinian Authority (PA), headed by Mahmoud Abbas. A few years ago, the PA decided to honor Ayyash by naming a street in Ramallah after him. The street sign was posted in Ramallah, the headquarters of the PA where Abbas lives and works, and reads:...  https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/9743/palestinians-glorifying-murderers

We Now Know WHO Was Behind liar-Hillary Clinton All Along. Surprised?
{angrypatriotmovement.com} ~ In an email released by WikiLeaks, George Soros gave liar-Hillary Clinton step-by-step instructions. This included a list of people Soros thought should be official mediators sent to Albania in 2011... Days after the email was sent, someone on the list was sent as the mediator by the EU, as per Investor’s Business Daily. This past weekend, an organization called DC Leaks put up 2,500 documents from Soros’s Open Society Foundation’s servers, revealing more corruption and connections to liar-Clinton and others. The emails are from as far back as 2008. However, the mainstream media are refusing to say anything about this leak, no doubt because Soros funds them or they fear retaliation. Soros is quick to use his money to get what he wants even if that is to influence an election...  http://www.angrypatriotmovement.com/who-was-behind-hillary-clinton/

From banning off-shore oil drilling in large swaths of America to commuting over 100 criminals, liar-nObama has made it clear he wants to make President-elect Donald Trump’s time in office miserable. Well, with less than 3 weeks to go in office, liar-nObama may have done the worst thing imaginable, announcing that he plans to transfer 18 more Guantanamo Bay detainees, including two men who intended to be 9/11 co-conspirators...liar-nObama is a complete jerk and should be errand off every documents of the United States.

Fake Healthcare: Nancy Pulosi
and the Chocolate Factory
by Katie Kieffer

{townhall.com} ~ Forget “fake news,” America’s epidemic is fake healthcare where cancer patients can’t obtain immunotherapy while taxpayers are forced to bankroll $8,000 drugs to treat minor conditions.

Welcome to life as a sick person seeking treatment—or a healthy person seeking catastrophic health insurance—in House Democratic leader Nancy Pulosi’s America (a.k.a. Chocolate Factory).  

Republicans have one chance to repeal fake healthcare (otherwise known as the Affordable Care Act or liar-nObamacare). But, even as you read this column, Pulosi is hustling to market a new anti-healthcare reform campaign: “Make America Sick Again.”

Cry me a river. Democrats corrupted the American healthcare system even further; baited Millennials to bankroll their broken plan; and now they’re launching a campaign to blame Republicans for their mess—a mess for which not a single Republican voted.

If Republicans cower in fear as they are prone to do, Pulosi will corral the Democrats into destroying our healthcare system beyond repair. Here’s the urgent call-to-action that we need to send our congressional Republicans:

Nancy Pulosi’s Chocolate Factory

“I am addicted to chocolate,” Pulosi told the New York Times in 2006 when asked if she had “issues.” “Ice cream for breakfast,” she added, was part of her diet. Eight years later, in 2014, the Times reported: “Ms. Pulosi ate whole pints of chocolate ice cream, including for breakfast.” Actually, Pulosi has been eating chocolate and chocolate ice cream almost “constantly” since the age of five—by her own admission.

Eating pints of chocolate ice cream for breakfast for a quarter century takes its toll. Whatever the reason, Pulosi appears to be a bit ill. She almost looks like a weary, 76-year-old grandmother who should have retired from politics a decade ago. Oh. Wait…

Why should Pulosi tell young people in my Millennial generation—or even our parents, the Baby Boomers—how to be healthy when she never advanced beyond the age of five in terms of health-consciousness?

When we had a chance to “find out what is in it,” we learned Pulosi’s pet piece of legislation is really a Pandora’s box. Young people already facing high unemployment now face health insurance sticker shock—as premiums rise 50% on average and often closer to 179%. It’s no surprise that even Politico recently warned that liar-nObamacare has a “Millennial problem.”

The GOP has one solid chance to stop this woman—who is the picture of nutritional dysfunction—from telling you and me how to be “healthy.”

Buy-and-Raise: $200 Drugs for $8,000

Wall Street has a name for a dirty business practice that escalated under the liar-nObama administration wherein drug companies charge the American taxpayers fake, or inflated, prices for decades-old drugs that should retail, at most, for $200. The term is “buy-and-raise.”

Drug companies got everything they wanted in liar-nObamacare thanks to slick negotiation from big Pharma lobbyist Billy Tauzin. liar-nObama, congressional Democrats and Tauzin collaborated to ram the unconstitutional bill through congress in 2010 without a single Republican vote. (I encourage you to learn the full story of "Pimp Daddy Tauzin" and liar-nObamacare.)

Unfortunately, drug companies gained at the price of patients. 300 doctors—whom I personally interviewed—say liar-nObamacare will raise costs and lower the quality of healthcare for young Americans.

Buy-and-raise, the Los Angeles Times reported last month, is a practice that drug companies are utilizing to inflate prices by 1,000%.

Here’s how it works: drug companies offer patients “co-pay coupons” for common drugs like a simple skin cream called, Alcortin A and a basic pain reliever, Vimovo. The drugs retailed for $189 and $115 respectively less than two years ago. Today, they retail for $7,968 and $2,061 respectively. Patients and doctors rarely see the true sticker price as the drugs are covered by many insurance plans and drug companies give patients co-pay coupons that allow them to pay a negligible amount while, as the Los Angeles Times reports: “leaving America’s health system to pick up the rest of the price.”

Taxpayers like you are picking up a hefty price indeed. Researchers from UCLA, Harvard and Northwestern recently found that drug companies have been reimbursed “as much as $2.7 billion” more “over five years” than “if the coupons were not used,” reports the Los Angeles Times.

Profits from buy-and-raise tactics are padding the salaries of drug executives more often than saving patient lives. Horizon CEO Timothy Walbert’s compensation package increased by a factor of ten from 2014 to 2015 to $93.4 million. Drugs like Alcortin A and Vimovo cost drug companies little to make as they are based on ingredients discovered decades ago, but patients will not question five-figure costs that they never see.

Almost 14 million Americans have cancer. Many patients only find remission if they are lucky enough to participate in one of the small and selective immunotherapy trials taking place throughout the country. Consider that it typically costs $200,000 per person per year for an immunotherapy trial. Imagine how many more cancer patients we could help if we weren’t paying over $7,000 extra for a common rash cream.

Here’s what the GOP must do—right now.

Insurers Need Competition from Employers

If Republicans follow the lead of House Speaker Paul Ryan who passed a $1.15 trillion spending bill—outspending even Pulosi when she ran the House as a Democrat—they’ll try to “fix” liar-nObamacare by dumping more taxpayer dollars at the problem.

Republicans lose elections when they cower in the corner and spend instead of shutting down defunct aspects of the government. So if Republicans do what some reports suggest—and issue a token repeal of liar-nObamacare and then wait up to two years to implement a replacement for fear of angering those who are on liar-nObamacare—history tells us that voters will not be kind to Republicans in the 2018 midterms.

There are many sustainable ways to offer affordable and high-quality healthcare coverage to some 30 million Americans who didn’t have healthcare coverage before they joined the liar-nObamacare exchanges. One solution is to create competition for insurance companies and force them to raise their game. Employers could “compete” with insurance companies by offering health savings accounts (HSAs) to their employees instead of traditional health insurance.

HSAs would particularly benefit the portion of the population that contains a high number of uninsured individuals: Millennials. Why? Because an employee owns their own HSA, accrues funds toward their future healthcare costs while they are still healthy—and keeps their contributions if they switch employers (as Millennials often do).

“The HSA account is funded by pre-tax payroll deduction. Using 2016 contribution limits, this would amount to $128.85 deducted every 2 weeks ($3,350 per year) for an individual or $259.62 deducted every 2 weeks ($6,750 per year) for family coverage. …There are no insurance premiums to be paid, outrageous deductibles to be met, or endless co-pays at the doctor’s office. … This is an especially strong benefit for young healthy Millennials,” explains SustainableHealthcareReform.
org.

Pulosi just ordered an “ethics probe” into president-elect Donald Trump’s pick to lead the Health and Human Services Department—orthopedic surgeon Rep. Tom Price (R-GA). Unlike Paul Ryan, Price scares Pulosi because he has a clear plan to repeal and replace liar-nObamacare that involves expanding HSAs, increasing tax credits and slashing “goodies” like the ability for young people to remain on their parents’ plan until they well into adulthood (26-years-old).

When you eat your dessert first, like Pulosi, you simply don’t have enough energy for the “meat and potatoes” work that Price proposes. Work that would actually reform healthcare.

Share this article with your loved ones—and tell one and all to tweet, Facebook and call their elected representatives with this message: we’re done with fake healthcare; we’re done with subsidizing Nancy Pulosi’s chocolate factory; we expect real reform.

 Masculinity: Being a Man in a 'Pajama Boy' Age 
bHnMJOel_xoL16kJmQAyAtpD3YtRl0Q3fl-e-oXxdGFKGH4GBI83pTJAFASDgK8no-b9PfWdSb3DEOTJ_oRGZwAij8266YqYkW1o6a0MxBMKyUysZZ274tyGrCv0gw=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=
Michael Swartz: One of the enduring symbols of the liar-nObama years may be that of the "pajama boy." In an effort to get younger people to sign up for health insurance, in December 2013 Organizing for Action tweeted out the now-infamous photo of a young hipster with the caption, "Wear pajamas. Drink hot chocolate. Talk about getting health insurance." Whether it was a present-day indication or a sign of things to come, college-age men are now told about "toxic masculinity" and warned that "the 'three most destructive' words a boy can hear growing up are 'be a man.'" In terms of biology, boys have little choice but to become men, but their behavior as such is influenced by their culture and role models.
          During the 2016 presidential campaign, we were told that it was time for the first female president to break the "glass ceiling" men had created. liar-Hillary Clinton was even set up with a heel suitable for a WWE event: an opponent in Donald Trump who made headlines from decade-old remarks about his prowess in grabbing women he desired as sexual objects — remarks that were kept on ice by the Leftmedia until they could be released to devastating effect as an October surprise.
          Intentionally or not, Trump has fit himself into one of the primary stereotypes Hollywood has created for male characters — that of the boorish, bigoted cad with little redeeming social value. He's an even less sympathetic version of Archie Bunker. When leftist Norman Lear created spinoff shows from the popular "All in the Family," he also created similar male characters like Walter Findlay (husband of "Maude") and George Jefferson. "Seinfeld" had a different take on this with Frank Costanza, George's dad.
          From that style of behavior, we go to another Hollywood favorite: the incompetent dad who screws everything up, leaving the female lead to solve the problems. (Think Ray Barone of "Everybody Loves Raymond," Homer Simpson or "Family Guy" Peter Griffin.) Another variation of this: the complete loser. (Think Al Bundy of the '80s sitcom "Married With Children.")
          A second media creation about how to "be a man" comes from the hardcore rappers who endlessly work out rhymes that call women some equivalent of the b-word or another that rhymes with "so." (Some raunchy female artists do this, too, and then richly complain about objectification of women.) Over the years that mentality has led to millions of children born to unwed mothers who have no father in their life — meanwhile, the "baby daddy" may have several other children by multiple women. It's the virility of being "macho" but without the virtues of decency, maturity or responsibility.
          With these portrayals of fatherhood, it's obvious our mass media celebrates an era of "girl power" that leaves younger boys as afterthoughts bereft of good role models. They can't even pretend to be a good male Disney character anymore — the media giant hardly crafts such male role models any more.
          To be an acceptable man in our culture is to have those elements as a beta male, allowing yourself to get in touch with your feelings. Being a strong male — not necessarily the John Wayne caricature, but simply a man with the mental and physical strength to be a provider, husband, family leader and thoughtful Patriot — is now frowned upon, to the lament of those who recall a time when men weren't so "vulnerable."
          Good male role models are a requirement, though, for a boy to have the best chance at leading a happy, fulfilling life. Yes, boys can have a strong single mother and succeed — and millions have done so despite the odds being against them. But in our worldly base of knowledge that shakes its fist at tradition and insists that an enlightened few know better, we've devolved to living like the pajama boy.
          Changing that requires much more than a new president. It requires looking past those emasculating "experts" who would tell our boys how to be men and finding good role models and mentors who do it the right way every day. Fortunately, such role models are still out there — if we would only look for them.

{blabber.buzz/politics} ~ The incident, which occurred Sunday and was first reported by Reuters, comes as U.S. President-elect Donald Trump prepares to take office on Jan. 20... In September, Trump vowed that any Iranian vessels that harass the U.S. Navy in the Gulf would be “shot out of the water.” The officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said the USS Mahan established radio communication with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps boats but they did not respond to requests to slow down and continued asking the Mahan questions. The Navy destroyer fired warning flares and a U.S. Navy helicopter also dropped a smoke float before the warning shots were fired...  http://blabber.buzz/politics/76338-american-warships-fire-warning-shots-at-iranian-vessels

Then it would be time to “move forward not only to protect what we’ve accomplished, but also to see this as an opportunity”... liar-nObama is not a conventional politician. He’s an organizer and a campaigner at the vanguard of a radical movement that seeks to control traditional institutions, but doesn’t feel bound by them. Unlike Bill liar-Clinton, his plans don’t begin and end with the White House. As an organizer, liar-nObama is equipped to build bases of power outside traditional institutions. And that is exactly what he is doing. While the leftist rioters in the streets are garnering the most attention, the real threat comes from the network of staffers dubbed liar-nObama Anonymous which are beginning to organize and coordinate. OFA is liar-nObama’s equivalent of the liar-Clinton Foundation. The liar-Clintons built liar-Clintonworld around staffers, but its goal was harvesting money. liar-nObama Inc. is being built around organizing and activism...  http://www.frontpagemag.com/point/265412/obama-quietly-hiring-new-ofa-staff-fight-trump-daniel-greenfield

Global powers, including the United States, have reached an agreement to provide Iran with nearly 130 tons of uranium—which experts believe would be enough to make 10 nuclear bombs. Two diplomats involved with the deal told the Associated Press that the so-called P5+1 powers agreed to the transfer of Russian natural uranium in exchange for 44 tons of “heavy water” nuclear runoff, which Iran has already sent to Russia after it created more than was allowed under last year’s nuclear deal. That shipment to Russia involved the second time that Iran exceeded its heavy water limit; it shipped excess heavy water to Oman last year...This is TREASON.

When It’s Black on White Crime

{townhall.com} ~ Why is it that when whites engage in violent acts against blacks, many on the left assume that those criminal acts must be hate-based, but when the tables are turned and the violence is black on white, many on the left no longer see color, looking for any explanation other than racial hate? Why the double standard?

According to CNN’s Don Lemon, the horrific kidnapping and torture of a mentally disabled white man by a group of four blacks – who had the audacity and stupidity to air it on Facebook live –wasn’t really evil.

Responding to Matt Lewis, who had commented on the extreme “evil” nature of the crime, Lemon replied, “I don’t think it’s evil. I don’t think it’s evil. I think these are young people, and I think they have bad home training.”

Not evil? Seriously? Just young people with bad home training?

Lemon’s comment drew immediate scorn, including tweets like this: “Hey @donlemon was Dylan Roof evil? Or just the victim of bad home training?” Dylan Roof was the young white man who slaughtered 9 black parishioners during a church service in South Carolina.

Does anyone for a moment think that Lemon, who himself is black, would have reacted the same way had this been a horrific, white on black crime?

To be clear, I’m glad that white on black violence has been exposed in recent years thanks to cell phone cameras, and to the extent that whites specifically targeted blacks – as in the case of Dylan Roof – our outrage should be even more acute.

But why shouldn’t we be just as concerned with targeted black on white violence, as in the many examples of the infamous “knockout games”?

I understand that, in the eyes of many blacks, to reply immediately to the phrase “black lives matter” with the phrase “all lives matter” is to minimize the point they were making. But at what point can we say, “White lives matter too”? Why is that forbidden?

A recent anti-white, MTV video even mocked the idea that “blue lives matter,” since people aren’t blue. Tell that to the widows and orphans of the cops who were killed in cold blood while serving our country this year.

Being on talk radio, I’ve heard from many God-fearing, church-going, authority-honoring black callers who shared with me their stories of being racially profiled, of experiencing discrimination, of even fearing for their lives at times simply because they were black, and I don’t doubt their stories for a moment.

While flying home recently, I was upgraded to first class and sat next to a black gentleman who could have passed for a former or even current football player. As we talked, he told me he was the president of a university, holding a J.D. and a Ph.D. When we discussed the issue of discrimination, he shared with me the obstacles he had to overcome and how, to this day, when he sits in first class, people look at him like he’s sitting in the wrong place or else assume he must be an athlete. After all, why else would be a large black man be flying in first class?

So, to repeat, my intent here is not to minimize anti-black sentiment in America; my intent is to expose the hypocritical double standards, and this recent, ugly incident, has brought all this to the surface.

Remember that the torturers were yelling “f—k white people” and “f—k Trump” as they abused this young man, yet Democratic strategist Symone Sanders also black, appearing on the same discussion panel with Don Lemon, wasn’t sure it was a hate crime.

She said, “If we start going around and anytime someone says or does something egregious or bad and sickening in sense. In connection with the president-elect Donald Trump or even President liar-nObama for that matter because of their political leanings, that’s slippery territory. That is not a hate crime.”

I actually believe she has a point here, albeit a minor one, but again, it’s the double-standard and the hypocrisy that concern me, since this is the very thing we’ve been subjected to for the last 8 years, namely, assuming that white criticism of President liar-nObama must be race-based. Yet when it’s black on white hatred in conjunction with black-on-Trump hatred, we have to tread carefully lest we head into “slippery territory.”

To ask the obvious question, what would have Sanders have said if, two weeks before liar-nObama’s first inauguration, four young white people kidnapped and tortured a mentally disabled black person, shouting, “f—k black people” and “f—k liar-nObama”?

Wouldn’t hatred of liar-nObama equal hatred of blacks in the eyes of Sanders, and wouldn’t she quickly brand this a glaring example of a dangerous hate crime that could be a portent of worse things to come? For the record, within 24 hours of her statement quoted here, when pressed by Anderson Cooper, Sanders did acknowledge the kidnapping and torture as a hate crime, following the lead of the prosecutors.

For a glaring example of hypocrisy, right from the White House, what about the statement of Press Secretary Josh Earnest, when pressed by the media about whether this was a hate crime?

He would not answer directly, since he claimed he had not yet discussed it with the president and was waiting for official word from law enforcement, stressing how important it was for them to do come to their conclusions first. But this is the very thing that the liar-nObama administration has not done when controversial, white on black cases came to national attention.

To give one case in point, think back to the 2009 arrest of Harvard Professor Henry Louis Gates, a black man, by police Sgt. James Crowley, a white man.

When asked about the incident at a news conference that week, President liar-nObama said, “I don't know, not having been there and not seeing all the facts, what role race played.”

“But,” he added, “I think it's fair to say, No. 1, any of us would be pretty angry; No. 2, that the Cambridge police acted stupidly in arresting somebody when there was already proof that they were in their own home; and, No. 3 ... that there's a long history in this country of African-Americans and Latinos being stopped by law enforcement disproportionately.”

Indeed, he stated, that the arrest shows “how race remains a factor in this society” – and to repeat, he said this without knowing the facts.

The charges against Gates were, in fact, dropped (he was trying to “break in” to his own house when a neighbor called to report the suspicious activity), but Sgt. Crowley had not acted stupidly, nor did the arrest have anything to do with race, which is one reason why President liar-nObama subsequently invited Gates and Crowley to have a beer with him and Vice President loose lips-Biden at the White House.

Yet when it comes to a heinous, black on white hate crime today, the White House doesn’t want to speak prematurely, wanting to let local law enforcement do its work.

After Earnest’s statement, President liar-nObama did refer to the kidnapping and torture as a “despicable” hate crime, and other black voices, like Montel Williams, denounced the crime in the strongest terms.

But the reaction of others, like Lemon and Sanders and Earnest, points to a larger issue, and it is one we can’t ignore.

As for Lemon’s contention that the kids were raised poorly, that may be true – although the grandmother who raised one of the accused kidnappers would strongly differ with that assessment – but plenty of people who commit evil acts were not raised well, and we don’t minimize their deeds because of their unfortunate upbringing. And, again, I doubt that Lemon would have made such an excuse had the racial tables been turned.

Of course, the whole category of “hate crimes” carries its own set of controversies, but that’s not the focus here. The focus is to expose left-wing, anti-white hypocrisy, and if we really care about justice, that means justice for all.

As for the black young people who committed this crime, while they deserve justice, I pray for their redemption as well, along with the physical and emotional recovery of the white young person who was abused.

 Hacking Trump

If anything related to email impacted the 2016 election, it was liar-Hillary Clinton's completely insecure private email server. But that's the 800lb. — make that 8,000lb. — gorilla in the room Democrats and the Leftmedia would rather ignore as they scramble to delegitimize Donald Trump with stories of Russian hacking and influence in the election.
          James Clapper, Barack liar-nObama's outgoing Director of National Intelligence, testified before a Senate committee Thursday about alleged Russian hacking. "I don't think that we have ever encountered a more aggressive or direct campaign to interfere in our election process," Clapper said. And it went all the way to the Kremlin, he asserted: "We assess that only Russia's senior-most officials could have authorized the recent election-focused data thefts and disclosures, based on the scope and sensitivity of the targets."
          According to CBS, "Clapper reiterated the liar-nObama administration's public accusation that Moscow orchestrated the computer attacks that hit the Democratic Party and liar-Hillary Clinton campaign operatives, leading to a WikiLeaks dump of embarrassing internal emails that ousted top Democratic National Committee leaders and destabilized liar-Clinton's campaign in the final months."
          So, if CBS has accurately reported the claim, we can conclude that sharing with voters what leading Democrat operatives like liar-Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta actually said behind closed doors hurt liar-Hillary Clinton's campaign. That's an interesting excuse...
          But even then, it's really just a Leftmedia framing of what Clapper and other intelligence officials actually said. Clapper told Congress that suspected Russian hacking "did not change any vote tallies or anything of that sort," adding that "there's no way for us to gauge" whether the hacking affected voters' choices.
          That won't stop the narrative that the Russians wanted to help Donald Trump win. Never mind that the hacks occurred before he became the GOP nominee.
          Naturally, Trump is intensely skeptical of any accusation or insinuation that his election was unfair or unduly influenced, and as is his custom, he's taken to Twitter to heckle the intelligence community for it.
          But Republicans and conservatives in general should also be extremely cautious in following Trump's lead when discussing Vladimir Putin and Julian Assange of WikiLeaks. One is the cold-blooded ruler of our geopolitical rival — a man whose journalistic critics and political opponents often end up dead. The other is what House Speaker Paul Ryan called a "sycophant for Russia" — a subversive leaker of classified information who doesn't think twice about putting lives at risk. Neither is a friend of the United States or Liberty, and neither has our nation's interests at heart. Whatever they've done has been for their own ends. And those ends might just include helping Democrats by providing a big, fat target to focus American political attention for the next few months and to delegitimize the incoming U.S. president. ~The Patriot Post

 Race in America: The Chicago Facebook Beating 
PlVBz0t4ghPTsyeFhWPvJ_3A_QdhJ3QNY7YJTMFVT1mUohlcC9pEfbOTaweHyNf1FmHlsDMQs0K_0k6FUC7BKtxLwydn4fwr08J2iirnFWY0mvslFKFUfW-P7sREVg=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=
By now most Americans have at least heard about — if not seen — the Facebook Live streamed video of four black young adults torturing a mentally disabled young white man. The four have been arrested and the city of Chicago has charged them with a "hate crime," along with kidnapping, unlawful restraint and aggravated battery with a deadly weapon.
          News coverage of the crime revealed just how committed the Leftmedia are to the "progressive" narrative on racism in America — namely that only white people can truly be racist. Even with clear video evidence of the four perpetrators declaring their racist motivation — yelling, "F— white people" as they tortured the young man — the media questioned whether or not race was a factor. One of the most egregious examples came from CNN's Don Lemon, who wouldn't even agree that the actions were evil, suggesting it was a result of "bad home training." This wasn't a breach of etiquette; it was a heinous and violent crime. And it calls to mind the even more evil crimes against Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom in 2007.
          The story also highlights the problem with the so-called "hate crime" categorization of criminal intent. This rather dubious classification has always been problematic, for it's meant to inject a form of political motivated subjectivity into determining the guilt level of a criminal act. In other words, it's an attempt to make a crime more evil should it be concluded that some form of hatred motivated the act, all in order to justify harsher sentencing in the name of Social Justice™.
          Finally, it's beyond question that racial tensions in America have increased significantly since Barack liar-nObama took office — and he bears much responsibility for it. The Left's suggestion that liar-nObama's presidency would usher in a new era of greater unity and an end to racial prejudice has proven not to be the case. In fact, he stubbornly insisted just yesterday, "I think the overall trajectory of race relations in this country is actually very positive."
          Wrong. The nation has witnessed a rebirth of tribalism, with racial differences taking on primary importance. In order for racism to be truly diminished, the politics of racial grievance must die. The color of one's skin must stop being anything other than a recognition of the wonderfully diverse pallet God used in filling His creation.

The Washington Free Beacon reports – The liar-nObama administration has paid Iran more than $10 billion in gold, cash, and other assets since 2013, according to Iranian officials, who disclosed that the White House has been intentionally deflating the total amount paid to the Islamic Republic. Senior Iranian officials late last week confirmed reports that the total amount of money paid to Iran over the past four years is in excess of $10 billion, a figure that runs counter to official estimates provided by the White House...What the heck is he doing?

McCarthy Legacy Of EPA Overreach,
Failure Also Created Demand For Trump

{rickwells.us} ~ Those often derided fly over country “rednecks” proved to be too smart for her and that’s what ultimately really chafes Gina McCarthy’s leathery hide. She calls it not being able to sell rural voters on switching from fossil fuels to solar and wind... They see it as not wanting to abandon real, and almost affordable energy for pretend, expensive and undependable energy that still requires a fossil system as a backup for when it’s night time or there isn’t any wind. An absence of facts and reality don’t slow McCarthy down a bit, as far as she’s concerned, it was a matter of her not finding the right words. In an interview at EPA headquarters, McCarthy said, “We tried to change the outreach and messaging in rural America in a number of ways, but … has it changed the rhetoric that people hear? It hasn’t. We couldn’t get it, but I wish we had.”...  http://rickwells.us/mccarthy-legacy-epa-overreach-failure-also-created-demand-trump/

The Evidential Value of Messianic Prophecy

{answeringmuslims.com} ~ One of the great lynch pins among the evidences for the truth of Christianity is the argument from Messianic prophecies -- that is, the fulfillment, climax and culmination of Old Testament Scripture in the person of Jesus of Nazareth... We read in the gospel that, following the resurrection, Jesus appeared to two Jewish men on the road to Emmaus, "And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he interpreted to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself," (Luke 24:27). Along with the resurrection, the argument from Messianic prophecy was the central apologetic of the early church. For example, it is said of Apollos that he, while in Ephesus, "powerfully refuted the Jews in public, showing by the Scriptures that the Christ was Jesus," (Acts 18:28)...  http://www.answeringmuslims.com/2017/01/the-evidential-value-of-messianic.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+answeringmuslims%2FynNl+%28Answering+Muslims%29

People protest against President-elect Donald Trump
in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania
{aei.org} ~ Do please relax a bit. Yes, though I no longer have a security clearance, it seems abundantly clear Russia did all it could to help Donald Trump win the US election... But even the intel community doesn’t say it won it for him. He won it, and liar-Hillary Clinton lost it. And as Trump reaffirmed this morning to the NYT, he sees the entire Russia/Wikileaks/Assange discussion in the context of a re-litigation of the election. Would we wish it otherwise? Yes. Would we want the PEOTUS to be more reticent and less tweety? Yes. But we learned once he landed the nomination that he’s not going to stop. So, a few words — I won’t call them wisdom, but perhaps counsel: .Not every tweet is policy...  http://www.aei.org/publication/on-the-trump-russia-intel-twitter-hysteria/?utm_source=paramount&utm_medium=email&utm_content=AEITODAY&utm_campaign=010917

Fort Lauderdale Shooting: Another
One Slips Through?
by Susan Stamper Brown

{townhall.com} ~ Apparently, we now live in a country where you can walk into an FBI office, admit to being an ISIS terrorist and you aren’t taken seriously, but if you make a small rounding error on your tax return, rest assured, the IRS will come calling.

The shooting in Fort Lauderdale should give sane Americans reason for pause. How many attacks must we suffer before those in charge start fighting ISIS and its sympathizers with the same kind of ferociousness leftists expend attacking American values?

Is the FBI so handcuffed by the liar-nObama administration’s political correctness they cannot identify a terrorist when he walks into their office and identifies himself as one?

CBS News tweeted Santiago walked into an Anchorage FBI office last November “claiming he was being forced to fight for ISIS.” The New York Times reports FBI officials were aware Santiago “had viewed extremist materials on the internet,” reportedly years before he deployed overseas.

Did the FBI miss the easily searchable online picture that the U.K. Dailymail.com and Fox4now.com found with Santiago sporting a keffiyeh-style scarf while shooting what appears to be the “one-finger” jihadist salute? It’s similar to the one Boston bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev took posing in front of an Islamic flag in his bedroom.

Santiago’s brother Bryan Santiago told the Associated Press, “The FBI failed there…The federal government already knew about this for months…but they didn’t do anything.”

This has been the pattern for years.

According to the Washington Post, the FBI investigated Omar Mateen, the Orlando nightclub shooter, “for 10 months beginning in 2013, putting him under surveillance, recording his calls and using confidential informants.” Mateen was placed on a terrorism watch list and interviewed twice “before the probe was closed in March 2014 because agents concluded he was not a threat.”

Similarly, Ahmad Khan Rahami, the alleged perpetrator of the September 2016 New York and New Jersey bombings, was also under FBI investigation “more than once over the past years” ABC News reports.  Nonetheless, the FBI found “no clear evidence or indications of radicalization.”

Muslim convert Elton Simpson, one of the assailants in the 2015 Curtis Culwell Center attack in Garland, Texas was under FBI investigation in 2006. Simpson was arrested by the FBI in 2010, but a judge “dropped the terrorism allegations, citing insufficient evidence,” reports the Washington Post. So, at around 7:00 p.m. on May 3, 2015, Simpson and co-assailant Nadir Hamid Soofi fired dozens of rounds at a police car near the entrance to an exhibit featuring cartoon images of Muhammad.

Officials report co-shooter in the 2015 San Bernardino massacre, Tashfeen Malik, passed three background checks before immigrating to the U.S. from Pakistan on a fiancée visa. After the massacre, FBI director James Comey said, “We can see from our investigation that in late 2013,” Syed Rizwan Farook and his fiancé, Malik, were communicating via “direct private messages” about “their joint commitment to jihad and to martyrdom.” A 2012 FBI probe also found that Farook “was in the social circle” with “a group of jihadists in California who were arrested,” including a recruiter, Sohiel Kabir, “who helped radicalize others,” CNN reports.

The deceased Boston Marathon bombing suspect, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, was also under the FBI’s radar “on at least two occasions prior to a Russian government warning in March 2011 that said he appeared to be radicalizing,” reports Politico.com. During a Congressional testimony Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.) said, “What are the chances of the Russians reporting on someone who’s pretty obscure and the FBI checks him out and finds out his name has come up twice before? Wouldn’t it have warranted keeping the investigation open longer or at least going to the Boston police and warning them?”

If nothing else, this disturbing trend teaches us that the only thing that’ll keep us safe is an administration unburdened by political correctness.
