Lee Greenwood: It's a "Mistake" for Performers to Bail on Trump's Inauguration (Q&A)

Hollywood Reporter


"When Lee Greenwood takes the stage at the Lincoln Memorial this Thursday for Donald Trump's high profile pre-inaugural concert, it'll be the fourth time that the country artist performs for an incoming Republican administration. 
"This time around, there's a perception that many name-brand Hollywood acts have refused to perform during Inauguration Week in order to avoid "normalizing" a president-elect that has been anything but normal so far. 
"Greenwood dismisses that narrative. Not only will he be playing at Trump's "Make America Great Again! Welcome Celebration," he also will perform at the dinner for incoming Vice President Mike Pence. " . . .

Political Cartoons by Steve Breen

"It would be interesting to know who paid these people to make fools of themselves."
Power Line Blog  "Scott has commented a couple of times on the Democrats’ lame “Make America Sick Again” theme. But the Toddler Party isn’t giving up. Yesterday (I think) a group of goofballs staged a “cough-in” in the restaurant at the Trump International Hotel in New York. It was a pro-Obamacare demonstration (“Trump care makes us sick.”)"

One Week After Slandering Trump, CNN Learns DEVASTATING Consequence


Mad World News  "CNN, which has been dubbed "Fake News" by President-elect Donald Trump, has just received some absolutely devastating news, and it has American Trump supporters everywhere cheering. It is about time that this liberal progressive megaphone network got a visit from karma, and we couldn't be more excited to share the delicious details. [...] 
CNN was uninvited to the DeploraBall.

Fans of the President-elect were extremely happy to see the least-trusted name in cable news put in its place:  "DeploraBall co-organizer Jack Posobiec tweeted that BuzzFeed was also denied a press pass."
. . . "Why not?  After all, they would probably be there anyway, giving protesters fawning coverage…" . . .

Obama's middle finger to our country on his last day

Obama Commutes Life Sentences of Four Mexican Cartel Leaders

"Four family members who ran one of the largest cartel smuggling operations in south Texas had their life in prison sentences commuted and will likely be returning to this border city from where they ran their criminal empire. One of the main destinations that the criminal organizations delivered drugs to was Chicago, Illinois. 

"This week, outgoing President Barack Obama commuted the sentences of 209 convicted criminals and pardoned 64 others. The majority of the convictions were from drug trafficking or production offenses.
One bit of hope: Horowitz to Lou Dobbs: Trump Will Undo 200 Obama Executive Orders  . . . "Horowitz told Dobbs that Trump, who takes the oath of office Friday, is "our not-so-secret weapon."
" 'If Chuck Schumer tries this too much, he's going to get a million tweets," he added, referring to the Democratic New York senator's efforts to stall confirmation hearings on several of Trump's Cabinet picks.
" 'Trump has already changed the Republican Party," Horowitz told Dobbs. "It's going to take a longer effort by being a leader, being a fighter."
"Trump, Horowitz argues in "Big Agenda," will "drive a wedge" between Democrats and their inner-city base with his jobs-focused agenda.
" 'He has a new deal for the inner cities," Horowitz told Dobbs. "The Democratic Party has monopoly control of the inner cities.' " . . .

"Prominent offenders who had sought clemency and were NOT given it include Bowe Bergdahl, Rod Blagojevich and Edward Snowden."



  • A biker friend of mine told me once, with a sly smile, "Some girls just like bad boys."  It appears the same can be said for Barack Obama.TD



  • Obama Booby Traps Trump With These 5 Moves  "It’s customary for the lame duck to sit around and do nothing. To shop for houses or plan a vacation, but not Obama. This guy has unleashed his plot against Americans in his final days as President. Shockingly half the country is too blind to face the facts because they’re too busy boycotting an inauguration.
  • "Trump is stepping into the biggest White House disaster in history, and cleaning up the debris will be a mammoth undertaking. Hurricane Katrina made less of a mess. It’s like Obama went around setting booby traps for Trump to fall into. However, Trump won’t fall alone. He’s the leader of this great nation, which proves Obama never cared in the first place." . . .
  • You will find it pointed out in numerous places of the Tunnel Wall that Obama is a petulant, vindictive, juvenile-ish community organizer.
  • In video praising Trump, Jerusalem mayor says Obama ‘surrendered’ to radical Islam


    "JERUSALEM — The mayor of the city holy to three world religions delivered a message Thursday to outgoing President Obama: good riddance.
    "Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat released a video that disparages Obama and welcomes President-elect Donald Trump.
    "The mayor’s video launches an online campaign to encourage Israelis to sign a letter, which Barkat promises to deliver to Trump officials, urging the new president to make good on his promise to move the U.S. Embassy, from its current location in Tel Aviv, up the hill 50 miles to Jerusalem." . . .

    The Media; always speaking nonsense to power

    Rip Van Reporter:  "Are America’s reporters and editors our most inept occupational group? They are an obvious candidate for the honor. How many reporters had any idea that Americans were so unhappy with the Washington status quo that Donald Trump would be our next president? Approximately zero. (I, on the other hand, predicted that Trump would win, mostly because I understood what a historically awful candidate Hillary Clinton was.) " . . .

    Lewis vs. Trump  . . . "Many of those who support Trump now think less of Lewis, and unless the Trump presidency is a disaster will continue to do so. People are starting to point out that, though Lewis acted heroically 50 years ago, he has for a very long time been a partisan hack." . . .
    Congressman Allen West has strong words for the CBC and Lewis

    Did the press laugh, or nod their heads? Obama pro tip to press: Don’t be sycophants  "File this under Advice We Could Have Used Eight Nine Ten Years Ago. Barack Obama took a moment at his final press conference to share his thoughts on the Fourth Estate and its role in providing accountability to those in power. “You’re not supposed to be complimentary,” Obama intoned to the media that has been running hosannas about the past eight years as Inauguration Day draws near:



    "The helpful folks over at Grabien have compiled a list of the Obama administration’s worst scandals and gaffes." 



    CNN: Assassinating Trump Could Keep Obama Administration in Power (Video)  . . . "The report also noted that the designated survivor appointed by the Obama administration could also become president in the case of a disaster. So, in CNN’s analysis, most of the people who would take over in the worst-case scenario would keep the Obama administration in power, at least indirectly." . . .

     "So I'm wondering if you think that they're uninformed, out of touch, or irresponsible?" CNN's White House correspondent Dan Lothian asked President Obama in Hawaii."

    These should do for now.

    Can Trump do this when nobody else has been able to?

    Politico
    The industry’s power players had started to take White House access for granted. Now they find themselves on the wrong end of the president's tweetstorms—and shaken that they might not understand America at all.

    . . . "It was not supposed to be like this, a defeated army sitting on the floor of an empty sound stage grasping for a chance at political impact. This was the class of people who were supposed to have a reserved seat at the table at Hillary Clinton’s first White House Correspondents’ Dinner. Now, like the deep-pocketed celebrities and industry titans who by one reliable estimate had raised some $60 million for her candidacy here, they were suddenly out in the cold. On the floor.

    "The new relationship between Hollywood and the incoming White House was on stark display this month when Meryl Streep took to the stage at the Golden Globes to say—without naming the incoming president—that Trump’s mocking of a disabled reporter “broke my heart,” and Trump fired back in the New York Times and on Twitter, calling the three-time Oscar winner “one of the most over-rated actresses in Hollywood,” and just another of the “liberal movie people” he’d expect to attack him." . . .
