Obama, It was YOU!

From Benjamin Dunlap at Wake Up America, the Original

No, Valerie Jarrett never said she seeks to ‘change America to be a more Islamic country’  "Also, Jarrett has never identified as Muslim in all her years in the public and private sphere. While she was born in Iran, her parents are American, and she has lived in the U.S. since she was five years old."

You Don’t Know What Obama Said at the Mosque  . . . "Obama: “Jefferson and John Adams had their own copies of the Koran.”
"The primary, if not only, reason Jefferson had a copy of the Koran was to try to understand the Koran and Islam in light of what the Muslim ambassador from Tripoli had told him and John Adams. When asked why Tripoli pirates were attacking American ships and enslaving Americans, the Muslim ambassador explained that Muslims are commanded to do so by the Koran.
"Jefferson wrote that the Tripoli ambassador told him that “it was written in their Koran that all nations which had not acknowledged the Prophet were sinners, whom it was the right and duty of the faithful to plunder and enslave; and that every mussulman [Muslim] who was slain in this warfare was sure to go to Paradise.”
"That’s why Jefferson and Adams had Korans." . . .

New York then and now: Astonishing black and white photos from the early 20th Century show NYC neighborhoods with empty streets and vacant plots of land

UK Daily Mail   "A collection of 17,000 black and white photographs stored in the New York Public Library's digital archives offer an illuminating look at how the city appeared almost a century ago.  

"The images were captured by renowned photographer Percy Loomis Sperr, who was contracted by the Library to document the physical appearance of the five boroughs between the late 1920s and the early 1940s. 

"Many of the old photographs highlight how much New York streetscapes have been transformed in the intervening years, with entire areas completely altered by mass development.  

"Queens, in particular, looks strikingly different today than it does in Sperr's snaps, with the borough undergoing a population boom and a building blitz beginning in the 1930s. 

"However, other photos taken by Sperr show that the city still looks strikingly similar in certain areas - something that may come as a surprise to people who associate New York with unending construction and constant aesthetic transformations. 

"While Manhattan's SoHo, West Village and Hell's Kitchen neighborhoods may have been gentrified, many of the their buildings remain in place, proving that the bones of New York City were laid long before the beginning of the 20th Century. " . . .

Romney's admirer Pierre Delecto

It is difficult to believe that Mitt beat Newt Gingrich in the 2012 primaries, and we got stuck with him and Paul Ryan.  . . . "The good news for non-quisling Republicans is that this should end the career of Pierre/Mitt to be the next John McCain as the go-to-guy whenever the Democrats and the media need a "Republican" to attack President Trump and conservatives.  Pierre/Mitt is now a joke, a buffoon.  The Dems and media may use Mitt, but nobody has any respect for him.  Who now cares what Mitt or Pierre says?" . . .

Babylon Bee sees great satire in Romney's secret I.D. :
Mitt Romney Reveals He's Been Running The Wendy's Twitter Account All Along

"WASHINGTON, D.C.—Mitt Romney has revealed that he's been running a second Twitter account for years: the official Wendy's account.

" 'Wendy's was looking for someone to own Burger King and IHOP on Twitter, and I figured I could use the extra work," he said. "It's just a nice way for me to check in on things, dunk on Taco Bell, maybe follow some people, you know." Romney would use his official account to promote his political views and then switch over to the Wendy's account in order to wind down a bit.

" 'It's been a lot of fun, but now the jig is up."

"Followers of the Wendy's account began to grow suspicious when the fast-food company started tweeting about Trump quite a bit more and retweeted several tweets by the official LDS church account.

"At publishing time, Trump had confirmed he is the mastermind behind the McDonald's Twitter account."

Democrats Are Embarrassed By Schiff’s Impeachment Tactics, And They Should Be

Indeed, my survey of articles from left-leaning writers revealed no defense of the Schiff process. Nobody, and I mean nobody, seems willing to argue in favor of Schiff’s nakedly political process. The best the authors can muster is a half-hearted mumbling about fairness not being required.

The Federalist

The sneaky, one-sided Schiff procedures conspicuously advertise this project for what it is: just another naked power play to get Trump.

"Criticisms of Rep. Adam Schiff’s impeachment tactics have begun to bite. Fair-minded people have begun to ask why is it necessary to have secret witnesses, secret hearings, and leaks of distorted, out-of-context excerpts from transcripts,

"Why is it necessary to block the president from sending representatives to attend these hearings so he can have equal access to any evidence?  Why was it necessary for House Intelligence Committee Chairman Schiff to “parody” the transcript of the president’s call to the Ukrainian president? Aren’t parodies supposed to be funny? Shouldn’t the chairman be proceeding with sober deliberation and fairness instead of romping about with gleeful shtick?  

"If Schiff cannot take the proceedings seriously, what of the 218 representatives who voted against the resolution condemning Schiff? The resolution failed despite the undisputed truth of the allegations. Schiff did manufacture “a false retelling of the conversation between President Trump and President Zelensky.” Schiff did tell the American people, “We have not spoken directly with the whistleblower,” when his staff actually coached the “whistleblower” before he or she approached the inspector general.

"And why are Democrats shutting out Republicans from the process? . . .

"They, Who The Hell is They?"

Canada Free Press

"The question, “They, Who The Hell is They?” was asked in the 1969 classic movie, “The Wild Bunch.” A question that cut to the chase regarding who was behind the group’s ambush in the opening scene of the epic movie but also raises the same concerns as to who is behind today’s ruthless politics, historic C.I.A. and Justice Department corruption, and media misinformation. Indeed, today, we need to ask the same question, “They, Who The Hell is They?”

"The American political system is beyond broken. It is a heap of ignored subpoenas; destroyed evidence all rolled up in a massive ball of lies and scandals. No party is innocent when it comes to dirty tactics, and not all members within a dishonest party are equally accountable for the damaging deeds of the group. But if we are ever to approach the truth as to who or what is behind the current escalation in the erosion of our Constitution and the assault on the dignity of the Republic, then we must be painfully honest. Many Americans single out and identify Obama’s administration as the most corrupt Presidency in all of American history. Obama’s real legacy is the arrogance and insolence shown by the members of the Democrat Party who are responsible for much of the lawlessness taking place today."  . . .

"Turning the Bible on its head, Obama is like the Left’s version of the New Testament’s John The Baptist. Obama was put in office to pave the way for future unbridled destruction of the Constitution. The weakness and corruption within the Republican Party allowed Obama to take a wrecking ball to the American system of government.

"It is true that the Obama administration was significantly more corrupt than any other because of two disturbing facts. Not because of its high number of scandals or the gravity of those scandals but because the corruption was spread throughout the entire government and because Obama’s administration received unprecedented cover and protection by the fake media. The once trusted institutions, such as the I.R.S. were severely compromised, conducting the illegal withholding of tax-exempt status from those with a different point of view.  . . ."

Clapping replaced by 'silent jazz hands' to boost 'inclusivity' and reduce 'anxiety,' University of Oxford student council votes

As Piers Morgan asks, saying it "excludes blind people". He also said it was "racist" , but isn't everything?

The Blaze "The student council at elite University of Oxford in the United Kingdom passed a motion Tuesday to mandate the use of "silent jazz hands" instead of traditional clapping at council meetings in order to boost "inclusivity" and reduce "anxiety."

" 'Silent jazz hands is known as British Sign Language clapping, according to the Oxford Student newspaper. Those using the sign hold their hands up and swivel them from side to side.

"The National Union of Students uses BSL clapping since loud noises — including whooping and traditional applause — may cause access issues for some disabled students with anxiety disorders, sensory sensitivity, and hearing aids, the paper said.  
'More accessible and inclusive for all'
" 'The policy was proposed in order to encourage the use of British Sign Language clapping during our democratic events to make those events more accessible and inclusive for all, including people who suffer from anxiety," Roisin McCallion — one of two students to present the motion to council — told the Daily Mail. "Inclusivity is one of the Students' Union's founding principles."
