Obama Attacks Wealthy For Big Houses Before Returning to His $8 Million Mansion

Daily Caller

Obama continued on income inequality, saying, “History shows that societies which tolerate vast differences in wealth feed resentments and reduce solidarity and actually grow more slowly. And when economic power is concentrated in the hands of the few, history also shows that political power is sure to follow and that dynamic eats away at democracy.”
After the speech calling for rich people to get smaller houses, Obama traveled back to America and to his $8.1 million eight-bedroom, nine-and-a-half bathroom mansion in one of the wealthiest neighborhoods in the world.

"At a recent speech in South Africa, former President Barack Obama criticized wealth inequality, saying those who have more money should share their earnings with the less fortunate.

“ 'Right now, I’m actually surprised by how much money I got,” Obama said of the more than $20 million he earned between 2005 and 2016.

"Obama then chided wealthy individuals for excess, saying, “There’s only so much you can eat. There’s only so big a house you can have. There’s only so many nice trips you can take. I mean, it’s enough.”

“ 'We’re going to have to worry about economics if we want to get democracy back on track,” Obama continued “We’re going to have to consider new ways of thinking about these problems, like a universal income, review of our workweek, how we retrain our young people, how we make everybody an entrepreneur at some level.' ” . . .

Obama's leftist friends have some pretty nice digs.

Did The FBI Ignore Evidence That A 'Foreign Entity' Hacked Clinton's Emails?

Rich Terrell

Investors.com  . . . "Here's the eye-opening exchange between Gohmert and Strzok (you can watch the exchange on C-SPAN):

Gohmert: You said earlier in this hearing you were concerned about a hostile foreign power affecting the election. Do you recall the former Intelligence Community Inspector General Chuck McCullough having an investigation into an anomaly found on Hillary Clinton's emails?

. . .

Gohmert:   He went on the explain it. And you didn't say anything, you thanked him, you shook his hand. The problem is it was going to an unauthorized source that was a foreign entity unrelated to Russia and from what you've said here, you did nothing more than nod and shake the man's hand when you didn't seem to be all that concerned about our national integrity of our election when it was involving Hillary Clinton. So the forensic examination was done by the ICIG — and they can document that — but you were given that information and you did nothing with it.

"So, in short, one of the lead investigators in the Clinton email case apparently learned that a foreign entity was getting all Clinton's emails — including many that contained classified information — and … did nothing."

Mass Insanity Is Destroying Papa John and the Company He Founded

THE LEFT ISN’T DONE WITH HIM OR PAPA JOHN’S*

As Papa John’s evaluates NFL sponsorship, chain tells racists: Don’t buy our pizza http://sacb.ee/bJLp 6:25 PM - Nov 4, 2017

Independent Sentinel  . . . "The politically correct left smells blood in the water. He criticized the NFL’s anti-American protests and he’s on the political right, therefore, he must be destroyed, and his company too.

"The media wants his friends and top executives destroyed too.

"Much of this is fomented by the media. Forbes now claims — after interviewing anonymous former and current staffers — male employees made crude comments without consequence and executives were rewarded if they had personal ties to Schnatter. The left-wing Forbes claims there is a “toxic” frat culture at Papa John’s.

"This is not the age of men, especially not white men or men who are masculine. 

"That’s all wrapped up as ‘toxic’.

"Schnatter’s spokesperson said the story has “numerous inaccuracies and misrepresentations.”

"Nevertheless, as a result of the Forbes report, Papa John’s felt they had to hire a firm to audit its practices and culture. It is all based on the gossip reported to the newspaper at this point. You don’t have to be guilty. Offended, anonymous people just have to say you are. There has been no trial, no conviction. The media gets away with reporting the gossip and destroying people with it." . . .

Would racists include those who declare hate for "white privilege"?

* The left-operated press and TV will destroy Papa John like this. Late-night TV and satire comics are all stacked against them:

Whoopi Goldberg and Jeanine Pirro get into explosive argument backstage at ‘The View’

Update at bottom. 

Goldberg left the stage, but the fireworks went off again with the cameras off: Backstage when the two crossed paths, a source told us, “Jeanine tried telling her she’s fought for victims her whole life.” That’s when “Whoopi got in her face and said that they’ve known each other a long time, but still, ‘F–k you, get the f–k out of this building.’ Jeanine looked stunned.”

Page Six

Left: Pro-Trump. Right: anti-Trump lady with "Applause" sign for her remarks

Whoopi Goldberg and Jeanine Pirro got into an explosive argument backstage at “The View” on Thursday — after an intense on-the-air exchange got even more heated behind-the-scenes, sources exclusively tell Page Six.

The confrontation ended with liberal Goldberg allegedly shouting, “F–k you, get the f–k out!” at President Trump supporter and Fox News host Pirro.

During the screaming match, Pirro told Goldberg, “I’ve done more for abused women than you will ever do,” we hear.

The trouble, sources told us, started before Pirro even went on-air to promote her new book, “Liars, Leakers, and Liberals: The Case Against the Anti-Trump Conspiracy” — when Pirro arrived at “The View” to learn that anti-Trump CNN contributor Ana Navarro was filling in for Joy Behar.

. . . 

"Another source told us that Pirro “was upset that Ana was there because she wasn’t told until the last minute. Ana is 24-7 anti-Trump. Jeanine wasn’t yelling, but you could tell they felt like the segment was being hijacked by shoving in an anti-Fox, anti-Trump person.”

"Navaro did appear in Pirro’s segments, and things came to a head on the ABC show when the “Justice with Judge Jeanine” host accused left-wing Goldberg of having “Trump Derangement Syndrome.' ” . . .

Update: Whoopi Goldberg confirms her Trump Derangement Syndrome diagnosis by throwing guest Jeanine Pirro off The View

. . . "The mantra that Barack Obama deserves credit for the economic growth that resulted from tax and regulatory cuts made by President Trump does not withstand scrutiny, which is why calling it out as a derangement triggered such a strong reaction:

Her remark set off a chain reaction that blew up the segment, caused a massive argument backstage and saw the judge kicked out of the building, she later told The Sean Hannity Show.

Only 18 Democrats Vote Yes on Resolution Supporting ICE

One noteworthy no vote came from Texas Rep. Beto O'Rourke (D.), who is the Democratic nominee in the Texas Senate election this year. He called the resolution a cynical bill "to give a blanket endorsement to the practices of ICE."

Free Beacon

"The House passed a resolution Wednesday in support of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the law enforcement agency that some Democrats now want to abolish.

"The measure praised ICE's work countering the narcotics trade and combatting human trafficking, Fox News reported. It further argued that without ICE, more Americans would suffer from drug abuse.

"In total, 133 Democrats voted present, 43 voted no on the resolution, and 18 voted yes.

"Rep. Jerry Nadler (D., N.Y.) called it a "meaningless stunt" and said he voted present because the House had "more important things to do."

Rep. Beto O'Rourke (D.) NO!

"House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D., Md.) echoed that sentiment, saying "This is exactly the kind of ‘gotcha vote' which alienates Americans from their government … Democrats refuse to play the Republicans' game."

"Rep. Marc Pocan (D., Wisc.), who has sponsored an "Abolish ICE" bill, voted present.

"Half of the Democrats in the House that hail from districts won by Donald Trump in 2016 voted in support of the resolution.

"One noteworthy no vote came from Texas Rep. Beto O'Rourke (D. Pictured), who is the Democratic nominee in the Texas Senate election this year." . . .

Putin Is Killing Millions Of Americans!

The left needs something a little more consequential to make us mad at Russia -- and illegal immigration is just the ticket! The only thing liberals care about is Russia, but the only thing most Americans care about is their own country. 

Ann Coulter  "I don't know what Trump said during that two hours when he met privately with Russian President Vladimir Putin, but like so many in the media, I know what I hope he said: Mr. Putin, I need you to publicly admit your complicity in our illegal alien problem. 

"Only if Putin owns up to deploying a vast network of Russian assets to personally direct the movements of millions of illegal aliens across the Sonoran Desert, through dozens of checkpoints and into our country, in fulfillment of his master plan to attack America's financial viability, national security and future prospects, will the media, the Democratic Party and corporate Republicans ever emerge from their stupor and admit that we have a huge problem on our southern border. 

"Illegal immigrants have killed multiple times more Americans than Russia has in its entire history -- or could ever hope to kill, even with a well-placed nuclear bomb. 

"But nothing will be done, unless we can prove Putin is behind it. 

"Our media and government want you to fixate on Russia's annexation of Crimea as the big problem facing our country, hoping you'll forget about the gaping hole on our border. 

"I haven't counted to see how many Americans died as a result of Putin's reacquiring Crimea -- yes, I have! ZERO. Meanwhile, Mexican drug couriers kill more Americans every week than the Communist Soviet Union did when it shot down Korean flight 007 for flying into its airspace, almost starting a nuclear war."Obsessing over irrelevant, unsolvable problems in remote parts of the globe is how liberals prove they are intellectuals. North Korea, Syria, Russia -- that's what you're supposed to care about. Not your own country. Only Walmart shoppers care about their own country." . . .

Putin’s False Equivalency

Victor Davis Hanson  "We are in dangerous times. Amid the hysteria over the Russian summit, the Mueller collusion probe, nonstop unsupported allegations and rumors, the Strzok and Page testimonies, the ongoing congressional investigations into improper CIA and FBI behavior, and a completely unhinged media, there is a growing crisis of rising tensions between two superpowers that together possess a combined arsenal of 3,000 instantly deployable nuclear weapons and another 10,000 in storage. That latter existential fact apparently has been forgotten in all the recriminations. So it is time for all parties to deescalate and step back a bit.

"Trump understandably wants to avoid progressive charges that he is obstructing Robert Mueller’s ostensible investigation of Russian collusion, and he also wants some sort of détente with Russia. Mueller has likely indicted Russians, timed on the eve of the summit, in part on the assumption that they would more or less not personally defend themselves and never appear on U.S. soil.

"Add that all up, and Trump apparently has discussed with Putin an idea of allowing Mueller’s investigators to visit Russia to interview those they have indicted.

"But in the quid pro quo world of big-power rivalry, Putin, of course, wants reciprocity — the right also to interview American citizens or residents (among them a former U.S. ambassador to Russia) whom he believes have transgressed against Russia." . . .

Do we remember JFK's disastrous summit with Nikita Khrushchev?

TRUMP-PUTIN MEETING UNLIKELY TO GO AS BADLY AS JOHN F. KENNEDY AND KHRUSHCHEV'S FIRST SUMMIT

History.com

Where were all the howls of 'treason!' when Kennedy met Khrushchev? "The media and Democrats are acting as if President Trump were the first president ever to meet with a tyrant and try to get along better.  They are truly disgusting, because they show how ignorant they are of history.
"How can they possibly forget that President Obama dealt with Russia, Iran, and Cuba?  There are so many such examples in the U.S. past.

But the press ran headlines such as "Shameful,' 'treasonous,' 'disgraceful': Trump slammed from all sides for news conference with Putin."

"Where have they been all these years?

"Lying to get a handshake deal with Iran that still pledges death to America was an especially dangerous bid to work with tyrants, and Obama did that.  That's quite a bit worse than President Trump trying to deal with Russia's President Vladimir Putin.  But the media and Democrats supported that Iran deal, and Obama got their applause.

"The following are some other examples of previous other meetings the howlers should have been howling about." . . .

Did President Trump bow before Putin?

The worst day of JFK’s life  . . . "Because of the Bay of Pigs, Kennedy said, Khrushchev “thought that anyone who was so young and inexperienced as to get into that mess could be taken. And anyone who got into it and didn’t see it through had no guts. So he just beat the hell out of me…I’ve got a real problem.”

"Reston rightly concluded in his New York Times report, which carefully protected his source, that Kennedy “was astonished by the rigidity and the toughness of the Soviet leader.” He said Kennedy “definitely got the impression that the German question was going to be a very near thing.' ”

Kennedy Talked, Khrushchev Triumphed . . . "Although Kennedy was keenly aware of some of the risks of such meetings — his Harvard thesis was titled “Appeasement at Munich” — he embarked on a summit meeting with Khrushchev in Vienna in June 1961, a move that would be recorded as one of the more self-destructive American actions of the cold war, and one that contributed to the most dangerous crisis of the nuclear age." . . .

"This man is very inexperienced, even immature,” Khrushchev told his interpreter. “Compared to him, Eisenhower is a man of intelligence and vision.” 

 . . . "Khrushchev “thought that anyone who was so young and inexperienced as to get into that mess [i.e., the Bay of Pigs] could be taken,” the president said. “And anyone who got into it and didn’t see it through had no guts. So he just beat the hell out of me.” (Reston used Kennedy as an anonymous source in his article; he recorded these quotes in his notes.)" . . .

12 Advances of Civilization by Flawed White American Males

The feminist male

David Walls-Kaufman  "Every time I see another disparagement of American history and American white males, I am poked to compose a list of their accomplishments that put everyone on the left to shame.  The left's contempt for America is total – suggesting that leftists see nothing redeeming in who we are.  This list should be burned into our memory to counter the left's fifty-year slander of American history.  The advances on this list are the result of a unique degree of freedom blended with the Founders' exceptional knowledge of history that created a trickle-down effect in moral influence that no one can match.

"Read 'em and weep:".

. . . 

12. Today, America heroically takes on socialism's pernicious bigotry and hate-mongering against freedom in the Democratic Party and the MSM in a head-to-head battle in front of all humankind, trying to put a nail in the coffin of the Left's return to rule by oligarchs.  The left champions corrupt elites like Hillary and Bill Clinton, and Bernie Sanders, and their super-rich donors, who the left agrees should be above the law, the IRS, FBI, NSA, CIA – with these institutions even helping to break the law and hide the proof.

Measure to split up California pulled from November ballot by State Supreme Court

Environmental group behind efforts to block split.  California is and probably always will be what it is by the will of environmentalists. TD

7News, San Francisco via Weasel Zippers  . . . "The California Supreme Court has blocked a measure that would divide the state in three from appearing on the November ballot.

"The court's ruling states that because there are questions about the proposition's validity, the potential harm of putting it on the ballot now outweighs concerns about delaying the vote until a future election

RELATED: Poll: One third of Californians still support plan to leave the US

"Prop 9 qualified for the November ballot last month.

"The proposal, led by venture capitalist Tim Draper, would split the country's most populous state into three new states of near-equal population: Northern California, California and Southern California, according to the proposal.

RELATED: Plenty of obstacles remain if voters decide to split California in 3

"Northern California would include cities between the Bay Area and the Oregon border. Southern California would begin in Fresno and cover most of the southern state. The "new" California would cover Los Angeles County and much of the coast below San Francisco Bay, the proposal said.

"Opponents sued arguing the proposal abolishes the state constitution, which cannot be done in a ballot initiative." . . .

Photo Of Smiling Chuck Schumer Eating Doughnuts With Vladimir Putin Breaks Internet

Daily Wire  . . . "The Senate’s Democratic leader, Chuck Schumer, ramped up to Defcon 1 after President Trump met with Vladimir Putin.

Looks like a bromance to me.

“I’m from Brooklyn,” the New York Democrat said on the Senate floor on Tuesday. “We learned one thing there, if we learned anything: when there’s a bully around, as Putin is, you show strength. But President Trump showed abject weakness. You know what that means? The bully will continue to take advantage of him. If President Trump was such an easy mark in Helsinki, President Putin will realize he’s an easy mark elsewhere.”
"Yes, Schumer — had he been the one meeting with the Russian president and former KGB agent — would have been tougher.
"Which makes it hilarious that a photo of Schumer smiling and eating doughnuts with Putin has re-emerged." . . .

SAVED FROM SOCIALISM: U.S. Saves Baby Oliver After U.K. Doctors Said His Heart Couldn’t Be Fixed

Daily Wire

"After baby Oliver Cameron was denied necessary medical treatment and funding by the United Kingdom's National Health Service (NHS), doctors in the United States were able to save his life.

Oliver

"Baby Oliver was born with a rare heart condition known as cardiac fibroma. The socialized healthcare system in the U.K. was not equipped to perform the necessary surgery to remove the non-cancerous tumor in his heart. Oliver would have to be put on a list to receive a heart transplant, and even then, he would only be expected to live to the age of 15, at the longest." 
"But due to the innovation and ingenuity of the United States, the necessary surgery was not only available, but had a 100% success rate at the Boston Children's Hospital.
"The NHS, however, initially refused to pay for the roughly $260,000 parents Lydia and Tim Cameron needed to fund the trip and procedure required to save their baby.
" 'No parent should have to bury their child," Lydia said at the time, according to The Mirror. "For the NHS to say, 'we’re sorry, we can’t help.' is devastating.' " . . .
