Forget the lame duck label; Obama is working fast

The fruits of Obama the Iranophile

State Department says Iran looking to capture Americans ". . . The coming influx of American businessmen looking to initiate commercial ties with Iran now that the sanctions are lifted must have dollar signs dancing in front of the eyes of Iranian authorities.  This will be Obama's major foreign policy legacy: an opening to Iran so one-sided and so dangerous that the government has been forced to advise Americans not to travel to that country.

"The administration continues to insist that the ransom wasn't a ransom.  Allow them their delusions.  Everyone on the planet who has two working brain cells knows differently.  The precedent set by this bumbling fool of a president will have [repercussions] everywhere that Americans are at risk of being kidnapped and held for ransom."

Ransom, the Law, and the Obama Administration . . . "Secondly, Iran can and is developing and also buying heavy long-distance missiles delivery systems that, among other things, can carry nuclear weapons. German Chancellor Angela Merkel herself, on July 7, 2016, declared that Iran’s missile program continued “unabated,” and that Iran was developing its rocket program." . . .

A Clinton Presidency Would Be the Political Equivalent of an Extinction-Level Event

Don Feder  "Forget the arrogance and corruption -- $153 million in Clinton family speaking fees from 2001, mainly bribes during her State Department years. Forget the lies, the lies about lies, and the perjury. Forget the security breaches. Forget enabling America’s most prominent sexual predator. Forget the trail of bodies stretching from Little Rock to Benghazi. Forget every scandal from Whitewater to deleted e-mails. Forget all of it.

"Instead, focus on coming attractions -- what a Clinton presidency would mean for America. It would be the political equivalent of an extinction level event. Obama began the process of transforming America. Hillary will finish it -- and us too.

"On the Supreme Court, Scalia’s replacement will be a judicial activist on steroids. This will give the left what it’s dreamed of since the Warren Court -- a 5-4 majority to rubber-stamp statism and Cultural Marxism. Hillary will replace decrepit justices, like Ginsberg (83) and Breyer (78), with their young and vigorous clones who’ll be there for decades.

"The Second Amendment will be repealed, even the most modest restrictions on abortion ended, and a green light given to the assault on religious liberty. As early as 2014, Democrats had appointed a majority of federal appeals court judges. Hillary will expand the left’s domination of the second most powerful courts in the land." . . .

Missing: FBI files linking Hillary Clinton to the 'suicide' of White House counsel Vince Foster have vanished from the National Archives

"FBI agents' reports of interviews documenting that Hillary Clinton's stinging humiliation of Vince Foster are missing from the National Archives, Daily Mail Online has learned "

UK Mail  "FBI agents' reports of interviews documenting that Hillary Clinton's stinging humiliation of her friend and mentor Vince Foster in front of White House aides triggered his suicide a week later are missing from where they should be filed at the National Archives, Daily Mail Online has learned exclusively." . . .

. . . "After filing a Freedom of Information request with the National Archives, Martha Murphy, the archives' public liaison, reported that she directed a senior archivist to conduct a more thorough review of the relevant FBI files, including those that had not been previously made public in response to FOIA requests.

" 'He examined all eight boxes but found no interviews by any investigator that detail either a meeting between Hillary Clinton and Vince Foster or the effects of a meeting between Hillary Clinton and Vince Foster on Vince Foster's state of mind,' Murphy reported in an email. "

. . . 

"In interviewing Clinton White House aides and Foster's friends and family, the FBI found that a week before Foster's death, Hillary held a meeting at the White House with Foster and other top aides to discuss her proposed health care legislation.

"Hillary angrily disagreed with a legal objection Foster raised at the meeting and ridiculed him in front of his peers, former FBI agent Coy Copeland and former FBI supervisory agent Jim Clemente told me. Copeland was Starr's senior investigator and read the reports of other agents working for Starr." . . .

As Dallas Faces High-Risk Threat, Police Department Slams Journalists for ‘Making Jobs More Difficult’

Independent Journal Review  "While the Dallas Police Department faces another alarming scenario from a ‘real deal’ threat that caused police headquarters, law enforcement are fending off another aggravating factor: False reports in the media.

"A Dallas News source reported that a “masked man” was seen near the police department. It was also reported that headquarters were sent into “lockdown,” and speculation caught on like wildfire. Another source claimed it was a possible “radio hoax.”

"Police had to warn the public it was the “real deal” and to move away from the garage." . . .

American Woman Earns Olympic Medal Only 17 People Have Ever Received After Her Fall On Track

Weasel Zippers

"The real spirit of the Olympics.

"Via IJR:

American runner Abbey D’Agostino didn’t realize how badly she was hurt when she stopped to make sure that fellow runner Nikki Hamblin (New Zealand) would be able to get up and keep running after a fall on the track.

But when D’Agostino went down in pain just a few seconds after helping her competitor, Hamblin stopped and returned the favor.

Both were granted spots in the final, but due to injuries sustained in their crash, D’Agostino was pulled from the race entirely and Hamblin finished last. Despite the fact that they would leave Rio without fulfilling their Olympic dreams, both remained surprisingly positive:

D’Agostino: “This whole time here [God] has made clear to me that my experience in Rio was going to be about more than my race performance — and as soon as Nikki got up I knew that was it.”

Hamblin: “You can make friends in the moments that really should break your heart.”

But on Saturday, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) announced that the exemplary sportsmanship both women had displayed would not go unrecognized: D’Agostino and Hamblin became the 18th and 19th recipients of the Pierre de Coubertin medal.
