First Lady's childhood town in Slovenia goes wild for its most famous daughter

UK Daily Mail  "The inauguration of Donald Trump is a big deal for a small town in Slovenia, where the future U.S. first lady traces her roots.

"Starting Friday, the river-front town of Sevnica plans three days of events to mark the inauguration and welcome all guests wishing to see where Melania Trump grew up.

"Sevnica (pronounced say-OON-itza) sits on the northern bank of the Sava River in Central Slovenia, an Alpine nation about the size of New Jersey that borders Italy, Austria, Croatia, and Hungary.  

"Born Melanija Knavs in nearby Novo Mesto, Mrs. Trump was raised in Sevnica by her father, a car salesman, and her mother, a pattern maker at a textile factory, while Slovenia was part of the Communist-ruled former Yugoslavia.
. . .  
"But this has not stopped savvy local entrepreneurs from tapping into what they call 'Melaniamania'."

Toby Keith has always been a stalwart of American pride, but that was even more apparent on Thursday (Jan. 19) when he took the stage to perform at the Make America Great Again Welcome Celebration and Concert ahead of Donald Trump’s inauguration.
Kicking off his uber-patriotic performance with a passionate rendition of “American Soldier,” the superstar country singer paid tribute to both the outgoing and incoming presidents.
  • “Thanks to Barack Obama for your service, and thanks to the 45th president of the United States, Donald Trump,” Keith told the crowd before going into “Made In America” with an American flag backdrop and a red solo cup to boot.

VIDEO: OUTRAGE AFTER CNN RUNS FULL STORY ABOUT TRUMP ASSASSINATION


The Democrats’ acidic petulance  . . . "With thousands of anarchists conspiring to disrupt or curtail inaugural events, Democrats in Congress are essentially urging them on with their acidic behavior.
"CNN did its part with a stunningly irresponsible report in which it wistfully speculated that Democrats might be able to maintain the White House if Trump were assassinated before being sworn in." . . .

New Yorkers are furious about de Blasio’s anti-Trump rally
. . . "Many residents who weren’t involved in the protest — which was attended by Alec Baldwin, Cher, Mark Ruffalo, the Rev. Al Sharpton, Rosie Perez, Shailene Woodley, Robert De Niro and Natalie Merchant — were outraged by de Blasio and how the traffic-snarling protest seemed to be fueled by his quest for the political spotlight and anger toward the president-elect.
“ 'I’m appalled at what’s happening here and I am angry at de Blasio,” said Susan Miller, a local Trump supporter. “[The protest] is a vanity project. The money could be used on housing, veterans, cleaning up the city, etc.' ” . . .

But that venue backed out." . . .

The 75 Leftist Groups Trying to Stop Donald Trump from Taking Office   Has America become ungovernable?
. . . "This is the far left of the far left – the anarchist, communist, and socialist organizations, some of which urge lawbreaking “direct action” including violence, arson, and intimidation.
"The establishment media doesn’t cover these groups in any significant way, and it’s hard to estimate how many people are part of this vast network. They often operate above ground, seemingly unconcerned about exposure from the mainstream media, although a significant amount of their work is secretive.
"The most shocking thing, however, is the ideology of these fringe leftists is echoed by the establishment media, the mainstream Democratic Party, and even many #NeverTrump Republicans." . . .


See how the LA Times, one of the favorite news sources of Hollywood celebrities now paint President Trump. Sheer, unadulterated demagoguery:

The hulking, screaming skinheads on the right are depicted as you and me.
This is for you, leftists:
The Kiss

Obama’s self-revealing final act

"Even the word “leaker” is misleading. “Leak” makes it sound like a piece of information a whistleblower gives Woodward and Bernstein to expose misdeeds in high office. This was nothing of the sort. It was the indiscriminate dumping of a mountain of national security secrets certain to bring harm to American troops, allies and interests."
Charles Krauthammer  "Barack Obama did not go out quietly. His unquiet final acts were, in part, overshadowed by a successor who refused to come in quietly and, in part, by Obama’s own endless, sentimental farewell tour. But there was nothing nostalgic or sentimental about Obama’s last acts. Two of them were simply shocking.  


"Perhaps we should have known. At the 2015 White House correspondents’ dinner, he joked about whether he had a bucket list: “Well, I have something that rhymes with bucket list.”

"Turns out, he wasn’t kidding. Commuting the sentence of Chelsea Manning, one of the great traitors of our time, is finger-in-the-eye willfulness. Obama took 28 years off the sentence of a soldier who stole and then released through WikiLeaks almost half a million military reports plus a quarter-million State Department documents." . . .


By Commuting Bradley Manning’s Sentence, Obama Broke Faith with the Military  . . . "By minimizing Manning’s crimes, [Obama] violated his own obligation to men and women in uniform. It was his job to enforce the lawful military norms that have been forged through centuries of bitter battlefield experience. Instead, he violated those norms, ensuring that Manning will serve no more time than men convicted of far more mundane crimes."  David French, NRO.

Lee Greenwood: It's a "Mistake" for Performers to Bail on Trump's Inauguration (Q&A)

Hollywood Reporter


"When Lee Greenwood takes the stage at the Lincoln Memorial this Thursday for Donald Trump's high profile pre-inaugural concert, it'll be the fourth time that the country artist performs for an incoming Republican administration. 
"This time around, there's a perception that many name-brand Hollywood acts have refused to perform during Inauguration Week in order to avoid "normalizing" a president-elect that has been anything but normal so far. 
"Greenwood dismisses that narrative. Not only will he be playing at Trump's "Make America Great Again! Welcome Celebration," he also will perform at the dinner for incoming Vice President Mike Pence. " . . .

SICK PROTESTERS STAGE COUGH-IN AT TRUMP RESTAURANT

Political Cartoons by Steve Breen

"It would be interesting to know who paid these people to make fools of themselves."
Power Line Blog  "Scott has commented a couple of times on the Democrats’ lame “Make America Sick Again” theme. But the Toddler Party isn’t giving up. Yesterday (I think) a group of goofballs staged a “cough-in” in the restaurant at the Trump International Hotel in New York. It was a pro-Obamacare demonstration (“Trump care makes us sick.”)"

One Week After Slandering Trump, CNN Learns DEVASTATING Consequence


Mad World News  "CNN, which has been dubbed "Fake News" by President-elect Donald Trump, has just received some absolutely devastating news, and it has American Trump supporters everywhere cheering. It is about time that this liberal progressive megaphone network got a visit from karma, and we couldn't be more excited to share the delicious details. [...] 
CNN was uninvited to the DeploraBall.

Fans of the President-elect were extremely happy to see the least-trusted name in cable news put in its place:  "DeploraBall co-organizer Jack Posobiec tweeted that BuzzFeed was also denied a press pass."
. . . "Why not?  After all, they would probably be there anyway, giving protesters fawning coverage…" . . .

Obama Commutes Life Sentences of Four Mexican Cartel Leaders

"Four family members who ran one of the largest cartel smuggling operations in south Texas had their life in prison sentences commuted and will likely be returning to this border city from where they ran their criminal empire. One of the main destinations that the criminal organizations delivered drugs to was Chicago, Illinois. 

"This week, outgoing President Barack Obama commuted the sentences of 209 convicted criminals and pardoned 64 others. The majority of the convictions were from drug trafficking or production offenses.
One bit of hope: Horowitz to Lou Dobbs: Trump Will Undo 200 Obama Executive Orders  . . . "Horowitz told Dobbs that Trump, who takes the oath of office Friday, is "our not-so-secret weapon."
" 'If Chuck Schumer tries this too much, he's going to get a million tweets," he added, referring to the Democratic New York senator's efforts to stall confirmation hearings on several of Trump's Cabinet picks.
" 'Trump has already changed the Republican Party," Horowitz told Dobbs. "It's going to take a longer effort by being a leader, being a fighter."
"Trump, Horowitz argues in "Big Agenda," will "drive a wedge" between Democrats and their inner-city base with his jobs-focused agenda.
" 'He has a new deal for the inner cities," Horowitz told Dobbs. "The Democratic Party has monopoly control of the inner cities.' " . . .

Obama commutes 330 drug sentences on his last full day as president  "Obama brought his total number of commutations granted to 1,715, more than any other president in U.S. history
"Has also ordered free[ing of] 568 inmates who'd been sentenced to life in prison

"Prominent offenders who had sought clemency and were NOT given it include Bowe Bergdahl, Rod Blagojevich and Edward Snowden."



  • A biker friend of mine told me once, with a sly smile, "Some girls just like bad boys."  It appears the same can be said for Barack Obama.TD



  • Obama Booby Traps Trump With These 5 Moves  "It’s customary for the lame duck to sit around and do nothing. To shop for houses or plan a vacation, but not Obama. This guy has unleashed his plot against Americans in his final days as President. Shockingly half the country is too blind to face the facts because they’re too busy boycotting an inauguration.
  • "Trump is stepping into the biggest White House disaster in history, and cleaning up the debris will be a mammoth undertaking. Hurricane Katrina made less of a mess. It’s like Obama went around setting booby traps for Trump to fall into. However, Trump won’t fall alone. He’s the leader of this great nation, which proves Obama never cared in the first place." . . .
  • You will find it pointed out in numerous places of the Tunnel Wall that Obama is a petulant, vindictive, juvenile-ish community organizer.

    "JERUSALEM — The mayor of the city holy to three world religions delivered a message Thursday to outgoing President Obama: good riddance.
    "Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat released a video that disparages Obama and welcomes President-elect Donald Trump.
    "The mayor’s video launches an online campaign to encourage Israelis to sign a letter, which Barkat promises to deliver to Trump officials, urging the new president to make good on his promise to move the U.S. Embassy, from its current location in Tel Aviv, up the hill 50 miles to Jerusalem." . . .

    The Media; always speaking nonsense to power

    Rip Van Reporter:  "Are America’s reporters and editors our most inept occupational group? They are an obvious candidate for the honor. How many reporters had any idea that Americans were so unhappy with the Washington status quo that Donald Trump would be our next president? Approximately zero. (I, on the other hand, predicted that Trump would win, mostly because I understood what a historically awful candidate Hillary Clinton was.) " . . .

    Lewis vs. Trump  . . . "Many of those who support Trump now think less of Lewis, and unless the Trump presidency is a disaster will continue to do so. People are starting to point out that, though Lewis acted heroically 50 years ago, he has for a very long time been a partisan hack." . . .
    Congressman Allen West has strong words for the CBC and Lewis

    Did the press laugh, or nod their heads? Obama pro tip to press: Don’t be sycophants  "File this under Advice We Could Have Used Eight Nine Ten Years Ago. Barack Obama took a moment at his final press conference to share his thoughts on the Fourth Estate and its role in providing accountability to those in power. “You’re not supposed to be complimentary,” Obama intoned to the media that has been running hosannas about the past eight years as Inauguration Day draws near:



    "The helpful folks over at Grabien have compiled a list of the Obama administration’s worst scandals and gaffes." 



    CNN: Assassinating Trump Could Keep Obama Administration in Power (Video)  . . . "The report also noted that the designated survivor appointed by the Obama administration could also become president in the case of a disaster. So, in CNN’s analysis, most of the people who would take over in the worst-case scenario would keep the Obama administration in power, at least indirectly." . . .

     "So I'm wondering if you think that they're uninformed, out of touch, or irresponsible?" CNN's White House correspondent Dan Lothian asked President Obama in Hawaii."

    These should do for now.
