This silly, but frightening Democrat administration and their bathroom edict

Funny Definition of Democracy You’ve Got There, Mr. President

"Do we really need to be talking about restroom access during an explosive political season, with public sentiment already boiling?

"Yes, we really do need to be talking about restroom access, less so for anatomical than for constitutional reasons. We need to be talking about the matter with urgency — and with anxiety for the democratic processes our leader seems bent on scuttling.

"Where does the ex-constitutional law lecturer who now serves as U.S. president get off with trying to remake moral policy for a nation of 330 million? Where does he get the idea it’s his business to instruct the 50 states that schools must henceforth allow the transgendered — whatever that curiously concocted word may mean — to visit the school restroom of their choice? Most of all, where does he suppose he gets the authority to do all this?

"Our modern-day Wizard of Oz is blowing and bloviating with glee. It’s time someone pulled back the curtains. The president isn’t nearly as big a figure as he thinks he is, with power to shut up opponents and magically make the American people over in his own image. No president is that big or grand — Obama’s inflated opinion of himself notwithstanding." . . .More

Trans insanity a powerful weapon   

. . . "That a small group of males whose confused and questionable sexual self-identification is considered a mental aberration by the larger population including many medical professionals is more important to Target than their millions of female customers?"

"The Obama administration has decided that such localism, allowing for experiment and flexibility, is impermissible under federal law.

"Now a letter from a couple of federal mandarins carries as much practical power as a law duly passed by Congress and signed by the president. It is government by epistle."

And celebrities like Bruce Springsteen bought it: lock, stock, and barrel. 

Hill and Bill went rapidly downhill

Financial analyst alleges major holes in Clinton Foundation records

"After more than a year of research, a Wall Street analyst is arguing the Clinton Foundation's books are riddled with financial inconsistencies that rise to the level of "fraud."

"Charles Ortel, who gained recognition for correctly identifying problems with General Electric's financial statements in 2008, has prepared 40 reports highlighting discrepancies that he said proves the Clinton Foundation has covered up cash flow since 1997.

"The financial whistleblower said his 15 months of research revealed gaps in the amount of money donors claim to have given and the amount of money the foundation claims to have received.

"The Clinton Foundation network is actually comprised of several different charities that all perform seemingly similar functions. Those include the Clinton Health Access Initiative, the Clinton Global Initiative, the Clinton Climate Initiative and several more, all with varying degrees of overlapping finances." . . .  Much more on this at the link

Obama Administration Forces Doctors And Hospitals Getting Federal Funds To Perform Abortions…

Weasel Zippers

"The Obama Administration looks like it’s on a mission to trample religious and conscience protections and force as many people as it can to promote and pay for abortions.

"Breitbart reports the pro-abortion administration issued a new nondiscrimination policy in the name of “equity” on Friday that pressures doctors and hospitals to promote and perform abortions. Those that don’t would not be eligible for federal funds including Medicare and Medicaid, according to the report.

"The “Final Rule” on Obamacare Section 1557 came from the Department of Health and Human Services on Friday, and it largely had to do with discrimination and “gender identity.” While the rule summary does not mention abortion specifically, it explains that the rule “requires that women be treated equally with men in the health care they receive and also prohibits the denial of health care or health coverage based on an individual’s sex, including discrimination based on pregnancy, gender identity and sex stereotyping.”

"David Christensen, vice president of government affairs for the Family Research Council, told Breitbart that the new rule mandates that federally funded health care providers offer abortion, among other services." . . .  Keep reading…

Who better to be in charge of the US economy?

Does Hillary’s Two-for-One Help?   . . . "Let’s concede that nostalgia for the economy of the 1990s is somewhat understandable. It was the product of the end of the Cold War and the unique juxtaposition of a centrist Democrat in the White House and a new Republican Congressional majority determined to rein in liberal excesses. Bill Clinton’s willingness to work with the GOP produced landmark legislation on welfare reform and crime as well as a balanced budget. Not all of the credit belongs to Clinton, but he does deserve kudos for being willing to work with Republicans as he admitted that the “era of big government is over.' ” . . . 

Bill Clinton and ‘revitalizing’ the U.S. economy  . . . "The federal budget was in surplus (“primary surplus”) toward the end of the Clinton administration, as Mrs. Clinton points out. Why? Partly because of tax increases that Republicans fought vigorously against; partly because of spending controls that Democrats fought vigorously against; partly because of a stock-market bubble that liberated both the Clinton administration and congressional Republicans from making some really tough decisions." . . .

From Fred Barnes: The Hillary Myth

. .  . "Only there's a problem: This Hillary Clinton is entirely mythical. She doesn't exist. As the Democratic party has lurched to the left, she has lurched with it. While talking up growth, she has proposed no incentives to produce it. She relies on government spending to stir growth, Obama's woeful policy. On tax cuts, she's for boosting the top rate on individual income to 45 percent, the highest in three decades. Under her complicated plan, the tax rate on capital gains would jump from 23.8 percent to 39.6 percent, then to 47.4 percent with surtaxes. The Tax Foundation concluded her tax hikes would cut annual growth by 1 percent and shrink incomes by at least 0.9 percent. That's a recipe for less job creation, more wage stagnation, fewer business startups, and a despondent country.

"An element of the Hillary myth is that she's on the same wavelength as her husband. She's not. He cut the capital gains rate from 28 percent to 20 percent, sparking the economic boom of his second term. He fought hard to enact the North American Free Trade Agreement. She attacks NAFTA and opposes the new Pacific trade treaty she once championed as the "gold standard" of free trade. Bill Clinton pushed through welfare reform that dramatically reduced poverty and welfare dependency. She would expand welfare with a new subsidy for child care and much more. And rather than defend his 1994 crime bill, she apologizes for it." . . .

Does Obama actually drink Flint water, or, well, does he?

Language advisory at the link, regrettably.

Before Its News  . . .  “It’s ridiculous,” exclaimed Jaquita Gable, an auto parts worker from Flint, after hearing Obama’s remarks. “He told us the water is fine. He also said there are only a few pipes that need to be replaced in Flint. Obama did the same as all the rest of the politicians who have come here. He wants to sweep this under the rug. He might as well have stayed in Washington, DC. He figured, ‘Let me talk to them, let me shut them up.’ He told us to use filters, drink the water and go home and be quiet. The main thing you could clearly hear is that there is no money for Flint.” WSWS

"Obama downplayed the seriousness of the situation at one point saying the kids of Flint “will be just fine” and then went on to say he ate paint chips as a kid, so Flint parents shouldn’t worry about their children drinking water with toxic levels of lead in it." . . .

Isn't it time that a woman was a national leader?

Hillary Clinton, You’re No Golda Meir and Margaret Thatcher? Bwwhahahahah!  From Maggie's Notebook

"Below are quotes from Margaret Thatcher and Orliana Fallaci interviewing Golda Meir on “war” and Arabs. Notice how Meir speaks of Israel’s soldiers, and compare it to the callousness of Hillary Clinton toward the four Americans who died in Benghazi.

Are we supposed to sit here with our hands folded, praying and murmuring, “Let’s hope that nothing happens?” Praying doesn’t help. What helps is to counterattack. ~ Golda Meir on Arab Terrorism

Would any American liberal say what Ms. Meir did here?

Fallaci: But since the 1967 cease-fire, the war in the Middle East has taken on a new face: the face of terror, of terrorism. What do you think of this war and the men who are conducting it? Of Arafat, for instance, of Habash, of the Black September leaders?

Meir: I simply think they’re not men. I don’t even consider them human beings, and the worst thing you can say of a man is that he’s not a human being. It’s like saying he’s an animal, isn’t it? But how can you call what they’re doing “a war”? Don’t you remember what Habash said when he had a bus full of Israeli children blown up? “It’s best to kill the Isrealis while they’re still children.”

"Can you imagine any Democrat leader in the U.S. speaking the truth as Meir did above? "

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 "A few words from Margaret (Maggie) Thatcher, Prime Minister of the U.K., May 1979 – November 1990: (Can you imagine HIllary Clinton, Bill Clinton or any Democrat believing any of the following?)

● There are significant differences between the American and European version of capitalism.

 The American traditionally emphasizes the need for limited government, light regulations, low taxes and maximum labour-market flexibility. Its success has been shown above all in the ability to create new jobs, in which it is consistently more successful than Europe.

Iran: Obama Told Us To Keep Ballistic Missile Tests Thar Violated Nuke Deal A Secret…

This 2009 video to Iran begins Obama's verbal bow and unrequited love affair with Iran.

The precursor to the Obama policy vis a vis Iran to this day.

Weasel Zippers

Via Free Beacon:

A senior Iranian military commander claimed that U.S. officials are quietly encouraging the Islamic Republic to keep its illicit ballistic missile tests a secret so as not to raise concerns in the region, according to Persian language comments.

Amir Ali Hajizadeh, commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps’ Aerospace and Missile Force, said in recent remarks that the Obama administration does not want Iran to publicize its ongoing missile tests, which have raised questions about the Islamic Republic’s commitment to last summer’s comprehensive nuclear agreement.

“At this time, the Americans are telling [us]: ‘Don’t talk about missile affairs, and if you conduct a test or maneuver, don’t mention it,’” Hajizadeh was quoted as saying during a recent Persian-language speech that was translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute.

The race issue in this 2016 election

The Democratic Party’s Evolving Racism Toward Blacks
"Democrats continue their 200-year tradition of setting low standards for African Americans.

"Rather I should die a thousand times … than see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds." - Robert Byrd, Democrat Senator (1959 through 2010) and founder of the Sophia, West Virginia chapter of the Ku Klux Klan (150 members) 
. .  . More here.

"In a recent American Thinker article (The Secret Racist History of the Democratic Party), Kimberly Bloom Jackson
 made the case that the Democrats were the party of racists. She presents concrete examples from the 19th and early 20th centuries. This is a relatively straightforward case to make and Democrats will usually acknowledge their racist heritage. They insist, however, that the two parties switched places in the 1960s: Democrats are now the champions of African Americans, while Republicans are the racists. This article makes the case that no such switch occurred." . . .

 . . . "Blacks are encouraged to establish and promote black advocacy organizations and even black pride groups."The Democratic Party continues to set low standards for all African Americans, but now in exchange for their votes."

Loretta Lynch’s abuse of the law

"When Loretta Lynch succeeded Eric Holder as U.S. attorney general a year ago, some harbored the tiniest hope that she wouldn’t be quite as radical.

"After all, Mr. Holder had done his best to gin up racial resentment, dismiss a clear case of voter intimidation by the New Black Panther Party, attack voter photo ID laws, refuse to enforce the Defense of Marriage Act, threaten a congressman trying to get to the truth of the Fast and Furious Mexican gun-running scandal, and ignore the Internal Revenue Service’s mob-like persecution of conservative groups.

"Mr. Holder also managed to sidestep or slow down any action regarding former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s private email server, or the massive irregularities of the $2 billion Clinton Foundation, the golden cash cow of open graft by the Clintons and their cronies. Meanwhile, Mr. Holder staffed the Justice Department civil rights division with hard-core leftists, as amply documented in J. Christian Adams’ book “Injustice: Exposing the Racial Agenda of the Obama Justice Department.”

. . . "As the nation’s chief law enforcer, Loretta Lynch is putting the weight of the federal government against millions of Americans who just want to maintain some level of decency — and normalcy. God help us."

These 12 States Are Fighting Back Against Obama’s Leftist Bathroom Bullying

Well. Obama simply ignores the law when things do not go his way. It will be Karma if Conservative governors refuse to obey his edicts, ignoring the financial price they will have to pay.
As George Will said, the minute a state accepts federal money they immediately become a de facto branch of the US Government. TD

RedState

"The Obama administration has taken two extraordinary steps this week in their attempt to pander to so-called “LGBT Rights” activists, and both of them are getting huge backlash. From citizens, and from states.

"First, Obama’s Social Justice Department announced they were filing suit against North Carolina over the state’s passage of HB2, which allows businesses to choose how they wish to operate their public bathrooms (as opposed to the Charlotte City Ordinance that required businesses to allow gender crossover in bathrooms and was the reason the state brought the bill up in the first place.)

"Then, the Obama administration sent out a decree threatening public schools with loss of funding if they do not comply with his personal whim that men should be allowed in women’s bathrooms and locker rooms. A whim shared with, and no doubt celebrated by, perverts with nefarious plans who have spent years trying to get into women’s bathrooms and have built entire grotesque web industries around the video thus obtained. So much the easier, now." . . .

The Right Kind of Class Warfare: Workers vs. Looters
. . . "Here’s an image Steve Conover shared with me. It comes from his book, Neutering the National Debt, and it’s the perfect way to explain why the Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton, and the rest of the class warriors are wrong.

"The problem isn’t rich people. It’s looters and moochers, regardless of their income.". . . 

"What we have is basically the visual that I would have liked to include in my 2011 column that discussed the “good rich” and the “bad rich.” When debating those who are motivated by class warfare, I’m defending the rich in the white zone, but it would be helpful to have a way of distinguishing between the worthy and unworthy people with money.

"And the same is true for the non-rich. Most of them are good and decent folks earning an honest living and they belong in the white zone. But there are also some non-rich people who rely on government coercion. They could be overpaid government bureaucrats. They could be folks scamming the food stamp program or fraudsters bilking the EITC.

"P.S. For what it’s worth, I suspect that more than 50 percent of the folks in Washington belong in the red zone."
