"Paying off all those who COA (covered Obama’s a**). Unbelievable…

""Via Washington Examiner:

President Obama might be done in the White House in three days, but that doesn’t mean he’s not going to make sure some his top administration officials and favorite athletes don’t get plum assignments first.

The White House released a list of new appointments Tuesday morning and some top Obama administration names were included. Among them were Valerie Jarrett, his White House senior adviser, and Susan Rice, the national security adviser, who will both become general trustees to the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.

Al Sharpton Confronted by Activists in Baltimore

Washington Free Beacon

"Rev. Al Sharpton got an earful from activists when he arrived in Baltimore to preach on Sunday.

"A group of men peppered the preacher with questions about his activism in the black community in a Facebook Live video posted by Duane G. Davis.

“ 'They come to exploit tragedies and collect money,” Davis said about Sharpton and other high-profile liberal activists. “How much money is he going to get to speak here?”

"One activist repeatedly asked Sharpton what he was doing to help young black men, telling Sharpton that his past activism wasn’t good enough.

“ 'You are talking about 19—I am talking about today,” the man said.

"When asked about Freddie Gray, the 25-year-old black man killed by the police in 2015, Sharpton said, “What did I do with Freddie Gray? What are you talking about? I didn’t deal with that, y’all did.”

“ 'Exactly, that’s the problem, Al,” the man retorted.

“ 'That is your problem,” Sharpton said, angering the activists.

"Davis pressed Sharpton to disclose how much he was being paid to preach in Baltimore. Sharpton denied receiving any money for the sermon.

"Davis is no stranger to controversy. He was jailed in 2011 for a protest stunt involving a toilet, which police thought was a possible bomb. In the 2012 Republican primary, he ran as a protest candidate for lieutenant governor of Maryland, according to RedState."

Obama's long, long goodbye with dirty looks over his shoulder

Ever notice Obama has a "tell" when he is irritated by an interviewer's question? His reply begins with "Look. . .  "

J. Marsolo: Obama: Limbaugh and Fox News ruined my presidency
. . . "Thus, Hillary would have won but for Putin, and Obama would have been successful but for Limbaugh and Hannity.  It is never the fault of Obama.

"In addition to lying, Obama believes that his way is the only correct way.  If you disagree with him, then you must have been influenced by Limbaugh and Hannity, who should not have criticized Obama.  This view is an implicit attack on the First Amendment, which protects our right to disagree and criticize the government and the right of a free press to criticize the president.

"Obama is essentially saying that Limbaugh and Hannity should not criticize him because he knows what is best for our country.  This is the mentality of a totalitarian."

Obama's cheap shot against Cubans  . . . "President Trump needs to take a hard look at this Cuba deal and demand change on the island.  We are not calling for another round of "sí se puede" speeches or "hope and change." We are talking about the kind of change that recognizes that the Castro regime is the reason these Cubans want to get out."

Barack Obama’s Deplorable Race Relations Legacy  . . . "The time has also come for rest of the nation to stop being cowed by the likes of Obama, the race hustlers and social justice warriors out to foment discontent and upheaval.  That they need to ostracize and publicly denigrate those who would use their fellow citizens as hostages in their cynical games.  And, that the white population must join with African-Americans of good will to stamp out the last remaining vestiges of institutionalized racism and discrimination."

Obama Must Have His Applause — Please (Don’t) Clap  . . . "President Obama must have his applause. He got plenty during his recent speech in Chicago, clearly basking in it even as he joked about his lame-duck inability to command an end to the public adulation of his semi-divine person. . . .  a group of self-abasing would-be subjects — there may end up being thousands of them — plan to gather down the street from the White House and applaud. Obama will not be there, but mere mention of his name, even in his absence, will trigger fanatical applause.

Newsweek’s Thomas: ‘Slightly Creepy Cult of Personality’ Around Obama  From 2008: . . . "[H]ave you ever seen a victory speech where there was no one else on stage? No adoring wife, no cute kid. . . "There is a slightly creepy cult of personality about all of this." Rose confronted him on his use of this phrase, and he explained that it made him "a little uneasy that he's so singular. He's clearly managing his own spectacle. He knows how to do it. He's a -- I think, a deeply manipulative guy..." Later, all three marveled about how it was "amazing" that Obama "watches us watching him."

How the left's tactic of mass hysteria against Trump is playing out with the general public

How is the left's campaign to convince large numbers of people that their freedoms, even their lives are in danger going?  Not bad at all.

Rick Moran  "Donald Trump has yet to be inaugurated, he has yet to make any specific proposals for legislation, has yet to issue any executive orders, and has yet to even comment on many of the cultural issues that divide America.

"But that lack of specificity has played directly into the hands of his opponents on the left. Into the void, the left has substituted mass hysteria about what Trumpmight do rather than reasoned argument against the positions he took during the campaign.

" 'As a political tactic, generating mass hysteria against an opponent has been wildly successful in history. The two largest purveyors of mass hysteria - Nazi Germany and Communist Russia - used the ploy to convince large majorities of their populations of a clear and present danger in society, be it the Jews or "counterrevolutionaries." In this, they were ably aided by a captive media, where the state controlled all information disseminated to the public.

"The left in America doesn't have that luxury - at least, not officially. But there is little doubt that their attempts to massively exaggerate the danger of a Trump presidency to certain minority groups has found a mainstream media compliant, even eager in their efforts to conciously aid in spreading propaganda, hyperbole, even lies in the cause of opposing Trump." . . .

UPDATED- Exposed as a hoax: "Ads in two dozen cities offer protesters up to $2,500 to agitate at Trump inaugural

UPDATE:  Ronbo at Freedom Fighters Journal notified us that this Hoax was exposed by Tucker Carlson on Fox:
Tucker Carlson Exposes Hoaxer Who Offered To Pay Protesters $2500 A Month (VIDEO)  "The two men had a highly entertaining back and forth exchange on the program, below is a small excerpt from the video.

"Tucker Carlson: “So um this is a sham, your company isn’t real, your website is fake, the claims you have made are lies. This is a hoax! Let me start at the beginning, however with your name, Dom Tullipso which is not your real name. It’s a fake name. We ran you through law enforcement level background checks and that name does not exist so let’s start out with the truth. Tell me what your real name is." . . .

Washington Times  (Video at the link)  "Demand Protest ads running seek operatives to “send a strong message” at presidential inauguration"

James Longstreet: Disrupting the disruptors  ". . . Those who rely on the law to be enforced must be satisfied.  The thwarting of disrupters posing as demonstrators must not be from the opposing side, for that will lead to anarchy.  Instead, it must be from the enforcement of the law.  Perhaps the future will hold to this promise, to a greater degree, than what we have witnessed in the past eight years."

Liberals no longer interested in being "really nice people".

Gee, I’m Starting to Think the Obama DOJ Just Might Be Politicized

Andrew C. McCarthy  . . . "I want to draw attention to a fact I did not dwell on in Wednesday’s column: The FBI is not authorized to seek a national-security surveillance warrant from the FISA court — just as it is not authorized to seek such a warrant from a U.S. district court in an ordinary criminal case. Only the Justice Department is permitted to do that. The FBI could not have sought FISA warrants against Trump without the Obama Justice Department’s approval and assistance."

Liberals caught plotting potential terror attack on Trump inaugural event in new Project Veritas video

Project Veritas  "In a new video published Monday by James Okeefe’s Project Veritas, a group of leftists reportedly with the DC Anti-Fascist Coalition actively plotting what appears to be a terror attack against a Trump inaugural event.

"According to Project Veritas:

A Project Veritas journalist was invited by email to a DC Anti-Fascist Coalition meeting, which took place at a residence in Washington D.C. The discussion centered around disrupting the “Deploraball”, a large pro-Trump event at the National Press Club in D.C. scheduled the night before the inauguration.

“It would be really something if we could stop them from having the Deploraball at all,” one activist says in the video.

After the initial meeting, the Project Veritas journalist joined the group at Comet Ping Pong, a pizza restaurant that is better known as the location of the Pizzagate controversy last year. The coalition members discuss the steps they would need to take to halt the Deploraball event.

The DC Anti-fascist coalition members present were Luke Kuhm, “Scott Green”, Colin Dunn, and Casey Webber." . . .

FBI’s James Comey Announces Team Hillary Obstructed in Email ‘Hacking’ Investigation

The Political Insider

"Democrats have quite the relationship with FBI Director James Comey. Once lauded for his decision to not criminally prosecute former Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, he became an easy target for blame by Clinton-insiders for his actions in the days before the November election.

"Comey had a rough year and has been silent during the transition process. But that just changed!

"Comey is now fighting back against attacks from Democrats, noting that the FBI actually asked for access to the “hacked” servers which had emails from campaign chairman John Podesta and other top Democrats. He tried to get to the bottom of it.

"It’s easy to understand Podesta’s thinking here, as the hacked servers were also the center of Hillary Clinton’s illegal use of private email accounts, and turning the server over to investigators could easily have exposed more of Hillary Clinton’s unethical fundraising for the Clinton Foundation.

"In addition, the DNC wanted to ensure the Russian narrative would stick and instead counted on private company Crowdstrike to track down the phishing assault that gave hackers access to Podesta’s email count." . . .

Martin Luther King, Jr. Day

Martin Luther King Day and Obama’s legacy  "Today is Martin Luther King Day. Some Americans still resent the fact that he received a holiday named in his honor. These people used to be called racist and likely they still exist. However, there is another group of people who resent Dr. King and they are accorded immunity from charges of racism according to contemporary bien pensants.  To understand why, listen to this podcast about King and his most famous speech provided by Patrick McLean. 

"Mr. McLean's interpretation of this great speech truly magnifies Reverend King and puts the midget vertically challenged race hustlers like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson and their ilk into proper perspective. More importantly, Black Lives Matter adherents are little more than street thugs, bullies and common criminals in comparison.

"I suppose that is what one gets when the country has been led for the last eight years by someone whose previous experience was that of Community Organizer and political hustler. Rabble-rousing and strong-arm tactics are not qualifications for the office of president. The current state of our country clearly shows that."

MLK’s niece: I voted for Trump  . . . "Obviously Evangelist King believes Mr. Trump will be a legitimate president.

"God bless her for the work she does and for not being afraid of the viciousness of the radical leftists who have co-opted the civil rights movement to further their anti-life, anti-family, libertine agenda.

Dr. King, Race Relations, and Obama’s Farewell Address "The president deserves credit for acknowledging American racial progress. But the societal problems his speech failed to mention are just as important." . . .

Andrea Bocelli backs out of Trump inauguration due to liberal death threats

Joe Newby  "Scratch a liberal, find a bloodthirsty hatemonger.  On Saturday, the UK Daily Mail reported that opera star Andrea Bocelli backed out of singing at Donald Trump’s inauguration after receiving death threats.

"According to the Daily Mail:

The revelation came as another singer – Broadway legend Jennifer Holliday – last night pulled out of the President-elect’s festivities after being threatened and branded an ‘Uncle Tom’.

When blind tenor Bocelli announced he would not sing at this Friday’s celebration, it was widely reported it was because fans had said they would boycott his concerts and records.

But a source said the 58-year-old had been determined to ‘press ahead’ and sing but had pulled out on the advice of his security team after receiving threats to his life.

A source close to Bocelli, a friend of Trump’s, said: ‘Andrea is very sad to be missing the chance to sing at such a huge global event but he has been advised it is simply not worth the risk.’
