President Obama Builds Wall Around DC Mansion, hangs with celebrities and takes vindictive parting shots at those he has a grudge against

Oops, my bad: ". . . against whom he has a grudge". Anyway, I digress:

And he's getting the United States to pay for it.  Honestly, this is necessary to help the Secret Service do its job, but I do recognize a bit of irony in it. TD

SandraRose  "President Barack Obama is preparing to move into his $6 million rented mansion within walking distance of his soon-to-be former residence.

"Workmen were seen building a brick wall outside Obama’s 8,200 sq ft tudor(sp) mansion a few blocks from Ivanka Trump’s new residence.

While this goes on, the Obamas celebrate with, well...celebrities.  "Chrissy Teigen and John Legend, Meryl Streep, Al Sharpton, Tyler Perry, Chris Rock, David Letterman, Tom Hanks, Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder were also in attendance. 

"Star Wars directors George Lucas and JJ Abrams arrived to the party as well shoulder to shoulder with the likes of Questlove of A Tribe Called Quest, who deejayed the evening." 

Recall this? "Obama: Trump Hangs Out With Celebrities, Doesn’t Care About Working People Unless They’re Mowing His Lawn" But I have digressed; back to the Obama departure (You'll have to ask Al Sharpton for the new address).

Obama's parting shots  . . . "But with time, he has shifted his argument for Clinton's loss to the difficulty of a female breaking through and implied that the Russian penetration of DNC computers was critical to undermining her victory.  Obama has decided to erect roadblocks for Trump and alter longstanding relationships with allies such as Israel as a result of the Clinton loss." . . .

Obama set for pardon frenzy as he leaves office  . . . "If Obama fails to pardon Snowden, his supporters say he may face the death penalty under the incoming administration of Republican Donald Trump, who has called him a "terrible traitor."

"In another leak case, Chelsea Manning is serving a 35-year sentence in solitary confinement for handing 700,000 sensitive military and diplomatic documents to WikiLeaks, some of them classified.

"Activists say her sentence is excessive and point to the psychological frailty of the transgender soldier who has already made two suicide attempts." . . .

How many more killers who have sworn to attack America will Obama release?  . . . "This is what happens when national security is pushed aside in favor of a political agenda.  President Obama promised to close the prison camp at Guantanamo Bay, and he is willing to sacrifice American lives to fulfill that pledge. " . . .

Obama's Last Chance  . . . "Obama’s years will be seen as the time partisanship grew and racial tensions rose again.

"But there is a last-minute chance to use Obama’s symbolic presidency to do something good and noble." . . .

Congress Introduces Bill To Enact SLAVE REPARATIONS Before Obama Leaves Office

Open Mind

"With just days to go before Barack Hussein Obama leaves office, race-baiters in Congress are working overtime to push through their ridiculous agendas before Donald Trump takes office.

"According to the Conservative Tribune, Democrats in the Congressional Black Caucus have renewed their efforts to enact slave reparations in this country, forcing white Americans to pay blacks for something that was abolished over 150 years ago.

"The Washington Examiner reported that Michigan Rep. John Conyers and his fellow CBC members have officially “re-introduced legislation that would set up a commission to consider whether reparations should be paid to black Americans for slavery.”

"Conyers has spent the last twenty years presenting the bill, which would also force the government to issue a formal apology for the “racial and economic discrimination against African-Americans.”

"A few months ago, Conyers issued the following statement defending his bill:" . . .

So where exactly does Reginald Denny go to pay his reparations to the folks in this video who were watching him at Florence and Normandie that fateful day?

Guess Who Singles Out Dallas Megachurch in Call for Arson

No, not Rev. Wright or Farrakhan. Close though.

PJ Media  "After recent tutorials advising lone jihadists how to commit knife and vehicle attacks, the Islamic State's latest issue of Rumiyah magazine counsels terrorists on waging arson attacks -- with a Dallas megachurch suggested as a possible target."

(From the Islamic State's Rumiyah magazine, January 2017 issue)

"ISIS recommended arson as a simple terror tactic that arouses little suspicion in the planning stages "to destroy the property of the Crusaders and, in some cases, kill several of them, sending them from the fire of this world to the inferno of Hellfire.' ".

. . . 

"One example is merely carrying along a spray paint canister or thick permanent marker and writing therewith some words on a wall or on the ground near the target declaring that the attack was carried out by a soldier of the Islamic State," the article suggests, adding that jihadists can also tie a note to "taunt and enrage the disbelievers" around a brick and chuck it "through the window of an occupied property close to the scene of the attack."

Oh, boy. Now comes a torrent of copycat vandals.

Business Owner to CNN, Liberals & Springsteen: “We’ve had it With You Idiots

I'm sure he means this in a nice way.

Todd Starnes

"A small business owner in Oregon has a message for CNN, ignorant liberals and Bruce Springsteen: “We’ve had it with you idiots.”

"Kevin Kerwin is the proprietor of Kevin the Geek Computer Repair store in Lake Oswego. He’s also one of the few conservatives around town.

“ 'Oregon is a very beautiful state, but it’s infested with liberals,” Kevin tells me.

"Kevin was especially bothered by the militant liberals who tried to burn down Portland following the 2016 presidential election.

And it did not help matters when Bruce Springsteen, one of his favorite singers, raged against Trump’s supporters and suggested the president-elect appealed to un-American tendencies.

“ 'When you let that genie out of the bottle – bigotry, racism, intolerance – they don’t go back into the bottle that easily, if they go back in at all,” Springsteen said on the “WTF” podcast. “Whether it’s a rise in hate crimes, people feeling they have license to speak and behave in ways that previously were considered un-American and are un-American. That’s what he’s appealing to.”

"Just hearing him say that kind of stuff makes me mad, Kevin said.

"But when four black suspects kidnapped and tortured a mentally challenged white man and pummeled him on Facebook Live – well – Kevin decided enough was enough.

“ 'When that kidnapping happened – that was one of the last straws,” he said." . . .

Awaiting Mr. Obama's words on the four Chicago torturers

Four Chicago Attackers Charged With Hate-Crimes for Torturing White Victim…  . . . "Jordan Hill, 18, of Carpentersville, and Tesfaye Cooper, 18, Brittany Covington, 18, and Tanishia Covington, 24, all of Chicago, are expected to appear in bond court Friday, according to the Cook County state’s attorney’s office." . . .

White House: Too Early to Tell if Chicago Beating was a Hate Crime

"The Associated Press described the event as such: “Hate crime, battery charges filed against four black suspects accused in beating of white man streamed live on Facebook.” . . .

The #BlackLivesMatter Torture Film   . . . "Black Lives Matter movement hero DeRay Mckesson rushed to Twitter Thursday morning to make excuses for his comrades-in-arms.  "It goes without saying that the actions being branded by the far-right as the 'BLM Kidnapping' have nothing to do [with] the movement."  

Just as Islam has nothing to do with terrorism  (But yet I argue, rightly, I believe, that Dylann Roof has nothing to do with American history)
"But I really don’t want to waste a lot of time on whether Tim McVeigh was a Christian or not (he really wasn’t)."

A look at black-on-white torture in Chicago  "Even the Tribune didn't understand that this evil deed was important enough to put anything newsworthy on their front page, going with this for their evening edition. " 

Legal Insurrection: Some liberal media try to make this about Trump

I thought this was about global war...er, climate change.

. . . "Thursday morning, Chicago police confirmed they are investigating a second video, which surfaced on Twitter, and appears to show the suspects grabbing the victim’s head, shoving it into a toilet, and forcing him to drink.

"Someone can be heard yelling “Drink that s*** right f***ing now. … Drink the toilet water, b****! Say f*** Trump! Say f*** Trump!' ” . . .

Black activist Shaun King comes down on the side of the four torturers.

Greek columns, heavy use of personal pronouns, millions of sycophants (which include Mr. Obama himself), awarding himself a medal is the logical next step. I haven't seen a man this unfazed by his own bumbling and ineptitude since Peter Sellers' Inspector Clouseau.
Snopes strongly disagrees with me.

Reprise. From Thomas Lifson: Obama grotesquely had himself awarded a Defense Dept. medal yesterday   . . . "His appointee and subordinate Ash Carter yesterday pinned a military medal – the Department of Defense Medal for Distinguished Public Service – on his boss, as Warner Todd Huston reported for Breitbart." . . .

Many commenters on Knoller’s Twitter feed were incredulous at the award. Some likened the award to a much maligned “participation medal” and others were skeptical of Obama’s underling giving his own boss a medal.

@markknoller so Carter whom was picked for Secretary of Defense by Obama gives him an award! I wonder who's idea that was EGO & CHIEF?

Snopes tells us Presidents Bush and Clinton received the same honor.  . . . "This is the highest honorary award presented by the Secretary of Defense to non-career Federal employees, private citizens, and foreign nationals. The Secretary of Defense is the approval authority. This award consists of a gold medal, a miniature medal, a rosette, and a citation signed by the Secretary of Defense. An individual may receive this award more than once. Subsequent awards consist of the foregoing recognition devices and a bronze, silver, or gold palm, as appropriate. 
"Although the Department of Defense (DoD) is part of the executive branch, the President himself does not play a part in the nomination or approval process for recipients of the DoD's Medal for Distinguished Public Service:" . . . Yeah, right. 

The Politics Forums had some discussion on this:  . . . "Carter insisted that the medal was a token of appreciation for Obama’s service as commander in chief, the Associated Press reported.

"After spending the last few weeks throwing roadblocks in the path of President-elect Donald Trump and his transition team, Obama nonetheless claimed in his remarks to the members of the military in attendance that “We’ve got to make sure that during this transition period that there is a seamless passing of the baton, that there’s continuity.' ”

Obama awards medals to his celebrity friends.  Of course.

Obama passes the torch

A visit to the Battleship Bismark

The Scuttling of Naval Ships During the World Wars – there were a lot

Bismarck's history  "In the course of the warship's eight-month career under its sole commanding officer, Capt. Ernst Lindemann, Bismarck conducted only one offensive operation, in May 1941, codenamed Rheinübung. The ship, along with the heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen, was to break into the Atlantic Ocean and raid Allied shipping from North America to Great Britain. The two ships were detected several times off Scandinavia, and British naval units were deployed to block their route. At the Battle of the Denmark Strait, Bismarck engaged and destroyed the battlecruiser HMS Hood, the pride of the Royal Navy, and forced the battleship HMS Prince of Wales to retreat; Bismarck was hit three times and suffered an oil leak from a ruptured tank.

"The destruction of Hood spurred a relentless pursuit by the Royal Navy involving dozens of warships. Two days later, heading for the relative safety of occupied France, Bismarck was attacked by obsolescent Fairey Swordfish biplane torpedo bombers from the aircraft carrier HMS Ark Royal; one scored a hit that rendered the battleship's steering gear inoperable. In her final battle the following morning, Bismarck was neutralised by a sustained bombardment from a British fleet, was scuttled by her crew, and sank with heavy loss of life. Most experts agree that the battle damage would have caused her to sink eventually. The wreck was located in June 1989 by Robert Ballard, and has since been further surveyed by several other expeditions." . . .

Cold War relic, present day threat

Charles Krauthammer  "You can kick the can down the road, but when Kim Jong Un announces, as he did last Sunday, that “we have reached the final stage in preparations to test-launch an intercontinental ballistic rocket,” you are reaching the end of that road.

Art wanted

"Since the early 1990s, we have offered every kind of inducement to get North Korea to give up its nuclear program. All failed miserably. Pyongyang managed to extort money, food, oil and commercial nuclear reactors in exchange. But it was all a swindle. North Korea was never going to give up its nukes because it sees them as the ultimate guarantee of regime survival.

"The North Koreans believe that nukes confer inviolability. Saddam Hussein was invaded and deposed before he could acquire them. Kim won’t let that happen to him. That’s why Thae Yong Ho, a recent high-level defector, insisted that “As long as Kim Jong Un is in power, North Korea will never give up its nuclear weapons, even if it’s offered $1 trillion or $10 trillion in rewards.”

"Meanwhile, they have advanced. They’ve already exploded a handful of nuclear bombs. And they’ve twice successfully launched satellites, which means they have the ICBM essentials. If they can miniaturize their weapons to fit on top of the rocket and control reentry, they’ll be able to push a button in Pyongyang and wipe out an American city.

"What to do? The options are stark:" . . .

Twenty-two Guantanamo detainees to be freed within days as Obama plans mass transfer of fanatics who have threatened to bomb and behead Americans

Dare I say that this is to spite President Trump? Sorta like Obama closed off open-air monuments during the shutdown out of spite for Republicans.
Obama is a spiteful and vindictive man.  TD

UK Daily Mail  "President Obama is planning to transfer at least 22 additional Guantanamo Bay detainees out of the military detention center before he leaves office later this month, DailyMail.com has learned.

"The group being released will be drawn from those held at Guantanamo - who include an accused senior al Qaeda bomb-maker, the terror group's top financial manager, and two intended 9/11 hijackers, who have all been held in the Cuba-based U.S. detention facility for more than a decade.

"According to a military source briefed on the process, 22 detainees are being prepared for transfer out of the camp, also known as Gitmo, before January 20.

"Although the White House has not specified which inmates will be transferred out – or which foreign countries have agreed to accept them – it has indicated that this will be a priority for Obama in his final days in office." Read about all the others being released at the link.

Why does the world hate Jews enough to side with those who want to kill them. And do.

World opinion against Israel comes from a great many factors — especially a certain ancient one. Victor Davis Hanson

 

Victor Davis Hanson: Why the Anti-Israel Sentiment?  "Secretary of State John Kerry, echoing other policymakers in the Obama administration, blasted Israel last week in a 70-minute rant about its supposedly self-destructive policies. 
    "Why does the world — including now the U.S. — single out liberal and lawful Israel but refrain from chastising truly illiberal countries? 
    "Kerry has never sermonized for so long about his plan to solve the Syrian crisis that has led to some 500,000 deaths or the vast migrant crisis that has nearly wrecked the European Union.
    "No one in this administration has shown as much anger about the many thousands who have been killed and jailed in the Castro brothers’ Cuba, much less about the current Stone Age conditions in Venezuela or the nightmarish government of President Rodrigo Duterte in the Philippines, an ally nation." . . .

A Messianic Jew discusses the world's hatred of Jews while giving an overview of the their history as told by both Old and New Testaments


Michael Medved:  Why the world hates the Jews
"Many of the bitter controversies in every corner of the globe inevitably raise the same ancient question: why does the world hate the Jews?
"Whether it’s the angry international reaction to Israel’s efforts to defend itself in Lebanon, or Mel Gibson’s drunken rant in Malibu, the age­old specter of anti­Semitism refuses to disappear. With only 13 million Jews in the world – less than one fourth of one percent of the earth’s population – why does this tiny group inspire such bitter, widespread and often violent animosity?

"The answer is obvious to anyone who monitors anti­Semitic propaganda from all its multifarious sources." . . .
