THE OBAMA MARXIST-MUSLIM BANKSTER-FUNDED THIRD TERM for life:
http://mexicanoccupation.blogspot.com/2018/03/obamas-marxism-still-hankering-for.html
"Cold War historian Paul Kengor goes deeply into Obama's communist background in an article in American Spectator, "Our First Red Diaper Baby President," and in an excellent Mark Levin interview. Another Kengor article describes the Chicago communists whose younger generation include David Axelrod, Valerie Jarrett, and Barack Hussein Obama. Add the openly Marxist, pro-communist Ayers, and you have many of the key players who put Obama into power." Karin McQuillan
Obama is not stupid. He knows this.
It's his road map.
“The Democrats would be clamoring for a suspension of the 22nd
Amendment and calling for Barack Obama, to "restore calm and order",
to step back into his role for the "good of the country". They will
still call for Obama if the Democrats manage to Impeach and convict Trump.”
“Obama would declare himself president for life with Soros
really running the show, as he did for the entire Obama presidency.”
“The bottom line 2 is
this: Barack Obama is a Communist. This was all an Obama operation. Why is
anyone surprised that a communist (Obama) tried to subvert an election. That is
what Communists do. It is Barack Obama and his people like Brennan and Clapper
behaving to type. That's what Maduro does in Venezuela. That's what the Castro
brothers did. That's what every communist and socialist nation does. THEY FIX ELECTIONS!”
Right back
to the White House. That was the plan all along
What no one
will say, but I will, is that the ObamaGate/MuellerGate/SpyGate scandal is an
ongoing plot to restore Barack Obama to the Presidency. Before heads explode
let me explain.
To believe
any part of my theory you have to get to certain assumptions.
1) Obama never intended to leave office. Indeed he has a house a few blocks from the White House.
2) Hillary and Obama despise each other and, had Hillary been elected, he would have undermined her as he is trying to undermine Trump.
3) To make way for the Obama restoration The Constitution would have been shredded for the good of the country, and it would have been seen to have been done legally.
As Mark Levin says, we are in the middle of a slow motion soft
coup
Joseph
diGenova, former federal prosecutor and Trump loyalist, says the truth is
starting to seep out about the Obama Administration’s “brazen plot to exonerate
Hillary Clinton” and “frame an incoming president with a false Russian
conspiracy,” according to an exclusive interview with The Daily Caller
Dan Bongino,
on Tucker Carlson's show, has called the operation a sting.

EARLY STAGES of the COUP
Mar
26, 2012 - SEOUL President Barack Obama was caught on camera on assuring
outgoing Russian President and Putin Poodle Dmitry Medvedev that he will have
"more flexibility" to deal with contentious issues like missile
defense after the U.S. presidential election. I just happen to have it on film:
https://www.youtube.com/wat...
https://www.youtube.com/wat...
Sept 11,
2012 -- Benghazi: In the run up to Obama’s re-election Obama was running around
claiming he had decimated Al Qaeda. One can only imagine the panic in the WH
when the Al Qaeda attack occurred on our annex. So Hillary and Obama concocted
the Muslim film cover up, jailed the filmmaker, and sent Susan Rice out to lie
on all of the Sunday chat shows that the attack was all about the film.
Oct 22, 2012 -- During one of the Romney/Obama debates one of
the moderators asked Romney who our greatest threat was. He said the Russians,
Obama smugly “The 1980s are now calling to ask for their foreign policy back
because the Cold War’s been over for 20 years.”.
The
annexation of Crimea by Putin’s Russia Federation occurred in March 2014. On 17
July 2014 Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 (MH17/MAS17), a scheduled passenger
flight from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur that, was shot down while flying over
eastern Ukraine, killing all 283 passengers and 15 crew on board.
The DNC SERVER HACK
The first
indications of the Russian Hacking occurred in late 2015 and early 2016.
Considering Wikileaks published the hack in July 2016 confirms the hack
occurred at least 6 months before, long before Trump's campaign was really up
and running.
Afterwards
the DNC didn't let the FBI anywhere near the server. They let Crowdstrike go
through it. And curiously, Obama and Comey's FBI seemed just fine being shut
out of the loop and they couldn’t have anything about the hack leaking out. And
when you are formulating a plan to get Hillary “elected” via exoneration, as
Comey and Strzok were doing, you don’t want the pot stirred.
I wonder
what Debbie Blabbermouth Schultz and Donna Brazile were trying to hide.
Probably their own incompetence and the fact that Hillary and the DNC was
playing Bernie Sanders by rigging the primaries.
And the Awan brothers, two Pakistanis that had been hired by Schultz, had access to everybody in Congress's emails because they were the IT guys...which means they also had access to the DNC server.
Then
Obama began the essence of the coup. He said that our elections couldn't be
hacked and that Trump should quit whining
https://www.youtube.com/wat...
https://www.youtube.com/wat...
Then Obama
got serious and really got tough. He told Putin to "Cut it out!"
The Russian hack damage was done on Obama's watch. Susan Rice
(of the 5 Sunday Show Benghazi lies) ordered Michael Daniel, chief of cyber
security investigating the hack, to stand down per Obama, according to a new
book by Michael Isikoff and David Korn, “Russian Roulette: The Inside Story of
Putin’s War on America and the Election of Donald Trump.”
THE PRE- ELECTION and POST
ELECTION COUP
So here’s what we know from the Nunes memo (https://www.scribd.com/docu...and the Grassly memo (http://www.powerlineblog.co....
So here’s what we know from the Nunes memo (https://www.scribd.com/docu...and the Grassly memo (http://www.powerlineblog.co....
Hillary kept a secret server overflowing with
national security info which, more than likely, was hacked. June 28, 2016, on a
Phoenix tarmac, Bill Clinton met with Attorney General Loretta Lynch to seal a
deal insuring Hillary would not be prosecuted. On July 5, 2016 James
Comey exonerated Hillary when he said he would not prosecute, after Barack
Obama said there is no evidence that Hillary did anything wrong. Lynch also
instructed Comey to call the Hillary scandal a “matter”.
Disgraced FBI agent Peter Strzok and Comey made sure the earlier draft language describing Hillary's actions as "grossly negligent" was changed to "extremely careless." That small change in wording has significant legal implications. "Gross negligence" in handling classified information carries criminal penalties.
The Hillary campaign also paid Fusion GPS to gather dirt on
Trump which became the dossier, compiled by Brit agent Christopher Steele,
relying on Russian sources. Steele and Fusion GPS gave the Dossier to the FBI
and DOJ with the help of FBI employee Bruce Ohr's wife Nellie, who worked at
Fusion GPS.
We also now
that, per Strzok's recent testimony on July 12, 2018, that fourth highest
ranking Justice Department official Bruce Ohr gave parts of the Russia dossier
to the FBI and DOJ.
FBI guys
James Comey and Andrew McCabe didn't bother to tell the FISA Judges under what
circumstances the dossier was obtained and that it was unverified. In other
words they lied to the FISA judge at least three times to get the warrants
renewed, because the people who worked for them didn't want to see Trump
elected.
Thus, the
Department of Justice used the unverified dossier to obtain a Foreign
Intelligence Surveillance Act warrant against Carter Page, an alleged “foreign
policy adviser” to Donald Trump and the last frayed thread of the Russian
collusion story. The FISA court was not told who had paid Steele to create the
“salacious and unverified” dossier — in the words of the showboating former FBI
Director James Comey — much less about Steele’s personal hatred of Trump. And
McCabe has testified that the Dossier was the basis of getting the FISA
warrants. Two days later McCabe was fired.
And this now
leads back to the Oval office. Texts between Peter Strzok and Lisa Page reveal
Obama wanted to be briefed on EVERYTHING happening in the "Russia"
investigation – after he 'guaranteed' he wouldn't get involved. Lisa Page wrote
her lover Peter Strzok about the Clinton probe: Obama 'wants to know everything
we're doing'.
Obama had
said he could 'guarantee' he wouldn't interfere and there would be 'no
political influence' in the FBI investigation. This was after he ordered Rice
to tell Michael Daniel chief of cyber security to stand down on the DNC server.
The
September 2, 2016 text message was among more than 50,000 texts the pair sent
during a two-year extramarital affair. Page was an FBI lawyer, and Strzok was a
leading investigator on both the Clinton probe and the more recent Trump-Russia
investigation. Strzok, though expected to be nonpartisan, also called Trump 'a
******g idiot' and texted Page about a cryptic 'insurance policy' against a
Trump presidency.
In the
spring of 2017, after James Comey was fired, deputy attorney general, Rod J.
Rosenstein was planning on wearing a wire to secretly record Trump to gather
damaging information in an effort to have him removed by recruiting cabinet
members to invoke the 25th amendment. Rosenstein, ironically, played a key role
in the president’s dismissal of Mr. Comey by writing a memo critical of his
handling of the Hillary Clinton email investigation. It sounds like Rosenstein
was trying to set up Trump from the day he was hired by the President.
Rosenstein made the remarks in meetings with Department of Justice and FBI
officials shortly after the May 9, 2017 firing of James Comey as FBI director.
And now, as Russia Collusion falls apart, Herr Reichsmarshall
Mueller and his Kapo Rod Rosenstien engaged in a Gestapo like raid of Trump's
lawyer to secure Trump's private papers.
THE HELSINKI SETUP
Folks, the
coup attempt is ongoing.
Prior to
Trump's Euro trip a dozen Russian GRU military intelligence officers were
indicted by the Mueller investigation on charges they hacked Democrats’
computers, stole their data and published those files to disrupt the 2016
election. Promptly following Asst AG Rosenstein announced no votes were changed
and no Americans were involved. You could hear the air go out of Democrat
balloons especially when Rosenstein announced that Mueller was sending this
case to the counterintelligence investigative department in the DOJ. No trial,
no evidence, No nothing.
Rosenstein:
"There’s no allegation in this indictment that any American citizen
committed a crime. There’s no allegation that the conspiracy changed the vote
count or affected any election result." https://www.vox.com/2018/7/...
Obama and
Brennan were weaponizing the CIA for years. Basically Trump called Brennan and
his corrupt agency out. No wonder Brennan is pissed.
A lot of
Obama's people are still at CIA, FBI, NSA, DOJ. Of course Trump doesn't believe
any of the intel he gets from these still compromised agencies
The presser
was a setup and Trump didn't take the bait. If Trump had acknowledged Russian
meddling the press would have turned into Trump collusion and that would have
been the narrative instead of all the over the top faux outrage..
THE OBAMA RESTORATION
We are in
the middle of what Mark Levin calls a soft coup, involving Obama, Clapper,
Brennan, Comey, Rhodes, Rice, Lynch, Power, McCabe, Mueller and rogue
FBI/DOJ officials. The “resistance” to duly elected president Donald Trump,
writes Michael Walsh, “was an intelligence operation from the start, engineered
by Barack Obama, the FBI/DOJ nexus, James Clapper, John Brennan, Loretta Lynch,
leading Democrats, rogue Republicans, and using a deeply partisan and thus
compromised media as its vengeful Greek chorus.”
"Operation
Crossfire Hurricane" was that small cabal of five rogue senior FBI and DOJ
officials, and Obama officials who started this coup 100 days before the
election was even decided. They set about to exonerate Hillary, illegally, and
frame Donald Trump and the people in his campaign should he have won. The FBI
went so far as to plant a mole inside the campaign to start asking questions on
foreign policy, to later entrap Trump people. https://legalinsurrection.c.... Former Director of
National Intelligence and serial lier James Clapper told CNN's Don Lemon that
the president's claim that the Obama administration spied on his campaign is
"hyperbole" but if it is true, it is a "good thing."
In
the now released FBI IG report there is detailed several texts
by Strozk and Page saying the following:
Lisa Page text to Peter Strzok: “(Trump’s) not
ever going to become president, right? Right?!”
Strzok: “No. No he’s not. We’ll stop it.” Was this Strozk's
cryptic insurance policy? What could that be?
Strozk's and
Page's 'insurance policy' might well have been one of two things. If the faux
legal mechanisms (the Mueller investigation and impeachment) failed the
'insurance policy' may just be an on-call hit squad to take Trump out. Pence
would have been denied his right to take office as he would have been falsely
implicated as well.
Hillary was always small potatoes, a
placeholder as it were.
Her health was always suspect. And do you think the plotters
would have let a doofus like Tim Kaine take office in the event
that Hillary became disabled?

prosecutors and the intelligence community the new KGB
Obama would
declare himself president for life with Soros really running the show, as he
did for the entire Obama presidency.
In his heart
Obama is a small time, garden variety leftist Communist. During his eight years
Obama just ran out of time and he was just too incompetent. Fortunately, he was
also constrained (barely) by the Constitution. He didn't have the guts to
follow through. But he has the
totalitarian impulse. After all, he went around
saying he didn't have Constitutional authority to legalize the
illegals, and then he tried anyway. The courts stopped him.
saying he didn't have Constitutional authority to legalize the
illegals, and then he tried anyway. The courts stopped him.
The bottom
line 1 is this: The Mueller investigation is simply a coverup for the three
original crimes of this coup 1) the original illegal exoneration of Hillary by
Comey to insure she won. 2) the penetration of the Trump campaign by an
FBI mole during the late summer and early fall 3) the ongoing penetration
by that mole of the Trump transition after the election and finally 4) the
Special Council effort to destroy the Trump presidency in it's infancy.
The
bottom line 2 is this: Barack Obama is a Communist. This was all an Obama
operation. Why is anyone surprised that a communist (Obama) tried to subvert an
election. That is what Communists do. It is Barack Obama and his people like
Brennan and Clapper behaving to type. That's what Maduro does in Venezuela.
That's what the Castro brothers did. That's what every communist and socialist
nation does. THEY FIX ELECTIONS!!
The
bottom line 3 is this: If Operation Crossfire Hurricane wasn’t a plot to restore Barack Obama to the
Presidency, why wasn’t the op shutdown after the election was over? It
wasn’t. Instead it ramped up with the appointment of
a special prosecutor whose only
raison d’etre is to cover up the original crimes during the
primary season and in the run up to the
election.
primary season and in the run up to the
election.
At
this point the game is up. Even Clintonista Mark Penn writing at the Hill knows
it's over. http://thehill.com/opinion/...
Everything
about this coup is rapidly coming to light, except for my theory of the Barack
Obama restoration end game. We shall see. One thing is for certain, had Hillary
been elected nothing about this coup would have come to light.
“Obama would declare himself president for life with
Soros really running the show, as he did for the entire
Obama presidency.”

The Alinsky-ization of Brett Kavanaugh
Republicans and conservatives are fond of referencing Chicago community organizer Saul Alinsky, but how many have read his body of work? I've always referred to Alinsky's secular agitator bible, Rules for Radicals: A Pragmatic Primer for Realistic Radicals, as the sequel to The Communist Manifesto. Published in 1972, shortly before Alinsky's death, Rules was a significant part of President Obama's and Hillary Clinton's political upbringings – although he more influenced Obama, who followed in Alinsky's community organizing footsteps in Chicago in the '80s.
Alinsky's thirteen rules are effective. The first step to challenging them is actually recognizing them.
Here's how Democrats and the DMIC (Democrat Media Industrial Complex) Alinsky-ized Brett Kavanaugh, in the lead up to, during, and after his U.S. Supreme Court confirmation hearings.
1: "Power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have."
Outnumbered 51-49, Senate Democrats know that the arithmetic isn't on their side. If the Democrats and Republicans each hold court along party lines, Kavanaugh is our next justice, thanks to the nuclear option employed by Kentucky senator Mitch McConnell last year to get Justice Neil Gorsuch confirmed.
But a two-senator lead means the tie-breaking voter, Vice President Mike Pence, had better be on call when the roll call vote to confirm Kavanaugh is held. Democrats undoubtedly consider Republican senators Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski, of Maine and Alaska, respectively, to be free agents, particularly over Roe v. Wade. Kavanaugh was relentlessly questioned by Democrats over abortion; the goal was to create doubt that Collins and Murkowski would vote to confirm him. If uncertainty exists, it's unlikely that Democrats from states President Trump won in 2016 will cross the aisle. If Democrats somehow secure 51 nays, we'll have the modern-day version of Borked: Kavanaughed.
2. "Never go outside the expertise of your people."
Alinsky wrote in Rules that "the issue is never the issue." The reason the Democrats were obsessed with the documents withheld by the president has nothing to do with the documents; it has to do with the fact that the Democrats on the Committee on the Judiciary were unwilling to have substantive legal discussions. Why? Simple: because Kavanaugh would have made the Democrats – several of whom are trained attorneys – look like first-day law school students. Having authored 307 opinions, from 2,700 cases, during his 12 years as a federal judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals, along with dozens of speeches to law schools and legal groups, Kavanaugh's jurisprudence bona fides are not only rock solid, but also very public. There is zero we don't know about Kavanaugh's interpretive approach and acumen.
3. "Whenever possible go outside the expertise of the enemy."
I suspect that this rule guided The New York Times' and Associated Press's show-me-the-woman-and-I'll-show-you-the-crime expedition two months ago for the work emails of Kavanaugh's wife, Ashley, who was hired earlier this year as town manager of Chevy Chase, Md. The Times requested any emails that contained the words "gun," "abortion," "federalist" or "gay." Perhaps the Times believed that Mrs. Kavanaugh was fond of attending The Federalist Society lectures about concealed carrying lesbians who believe that abortion is creepy. The Times' request was a big dud; 85 pages of emails later, and, I'm sure, much to the newspaper's chagrin, nothing incriminating, and nothing about guns, abortion, gays, or federalists was discovered. The AP requested all of her work emails but hasn't yet reported on its findings.
4. "Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules."
Though there weren't explicit questions about Kavanaugh's Catholic faith, he noted his work with Catholic Charities. This rule was the basis for California senator Cuckoo Kamala Harris's lie that Kavanaugh called birth control abortion-inducing drugs (have you noticed how often I've already written about abortion?). And here's the ACLU's predictable fear-mongering that Kavanaugh would usher in a theocratic oligarchy. In fairness, I'm not angry at the ACLU, because voting is a lot like any decision or purchase: it's done based on fear or greed.
5. "Ridicule is man's most potent weapon."
Kavanaugh has been in Washington for decades; he's what many of us would call an "establishment" figure. This has provided an opportunity for the DMIC toattack his establishment "elitism," which President Trump swore to reject by draining the swamp. The median household income of Kavanugh's ZIP code is $12,000 a month, his house cost $1.2 million to purchase, and Kavanaugh racked up tens of thousands of dollars in credit debt to buy Washington Nationals season tickets. As coach of one of his daughters' basketball teams, his moniker is "Coach K." If the nickname Coach K doesn't smack of elitism, I don't know what does. The DMIC showed no qualms in portraying Kavanaugh as an out-of-touch Beltway insider. Oh, yeah, and people will die if he's confirmed.
6. "A good tactic is one your people enjoy."
Democrats know that most of their voters are out for blood, and a "good tactic" was to inextricably link Kavanaugh to President Trump, an "unindicted co-conspirator," according to Harris and Connecticut senator Richard Blumenthal, due to the plea deal of Trump's former personal attorney, Michael Cohen.
In the old days, Democrats weren't quite as politically loony as they currently are and were definitely more likable. Unlikability is a good tactic for the Democrats; the temperament of a justice is important, and the more unlikeable Democrats were in their questioning, the better the chances Kavanaugh would lose his cool. But alas, he kept his cool, especially during Harris's entrapping questionsabout possible conversations he had with Trump's lawyer's firm regarding the Mueller investigation. The Democrats tried to force Kavanaugh into the role of de facto spokesman for the president, but he was ready for them.
7. "A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag."
I didn't watch every second of the hearings, but I watched more than 75 percent, and Democrats said Trump's name dozens of times. New Jersey senator Cory Booker handled Trump fatigue by putting on a theatrical production worthy of Broadway: Booker, whose claim to fame was interrogating Mike Pompeo about sodomy during his secretary of state confirmation hearings, dared his Republican colleagues to expel him from the Senate. As was expected, President George W. Bush's name popped up. Kavanaugh worked for Bush, and the implication is that Kavanaugh has always been associated with illegitimate presidents.
8. "Keep the pressure on."
This is one of the easier rules to follow, because specifics aren't necessary. Attorneys who litigate before the Supreme Court know to expect random barrages of questions, and the Democrats kept up the pressure by interrupting Kavanaugh dozens of times, not including the interruptions from protesters. The interruptions failed in knocking Kavanaugh off his game – same for the objections to the hearings, coordinated by Democrats.
9. "The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself."
If I had to pick one rule sold the hardest by Democrats, it's this one. The "threats" posed by Kavanaugh sound a lot like the threats posed by Robert Bork, nominated by President Reagan in 1982. Said Massachusetts senator Edward Kennedy:
Bork's America is a land in which women would be forced into back-alley abortions, blacks would sit at segregated lunch counters, rogue police could break down citizens' doors in midnight raids, schoolchildren could not be taught about evolution[.]
Of course, had Bork been confirmed, none of those things would have occurred. But that wasn't important; it was the "what if?" threat of those things. In Kavanaugh's case, workers will have zero rights, felons will own machine guns, and women will be forced into back-alley abortions and die.
10. "The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition."
If Kavanaugh is confirmed, the Democrats will have lost the battle, but they will consider the larger war still winnable – especially considering that he's expected to be confirmed a month before the midterm elections. It was quite apparent which Democrats were thinking about running for president in 2020 (Harris and Booker) and which weren't (Partrick Leahy of Vermont). Those positioning themselves for a White House run will incorporate their self-aggrandizing "resistance" to Kavanaugh into their campaigns.
11. "If you push a negative hard and deep enough it will break through into its counterside."
In the case of Kavanaugh, this is a slight overlap of Rule 1. Trump has gotten 60 federal judges confirmed, is reforming the Supreme Court to how the Founders envisioned it, and has 100 pending federal judicial appointments. These realities are red-meat selling points to Democrat voters: "Look at the havoc Trump has wrought! We must prevent him from further destruction!" Just how deep it will break into the counterside remains to be seen, but desperation is all Democrats have left (although projected demographics, if not engaged, don't bode well for America First).
12. "The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative."
To have a chance of winning long-term political battles, there must be self-immolation and sacrificial lambs within the Democratic Party ranks. Adaptation is key. This is already underway, as evidenced by the rise of "democratic socialist" primary winners nationwide. In America, Leninism has always been implemented in creeping doses, until one day, it's mainstream. The constructive alternative will continue to be the message that overt, out-in-the-open socialism is necessary to prevent future Brett Kavanaughs.
13. "Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it."
In Clintonian fashion, the Democrats will persist. Remember: Kavanaugh can't prove he's not racist, or that he won't vote to send abortion battles back to the states, where they belonged in the first place. The Democrats will continue to color Kavanaugh identically to how we describe Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Sonia Sotomayor: as an untrustworthy judge who legislates from the bench.
My prediction: Kavanaugh will receive 54 votes to confirm, with Collins and Murkowski unlikely to defect.

Obama Attacks Trump
During a speech on September 7th to students at the University of Illinois, former president Barack Obama said, "the politics of division and resentment and paranoia has unfortunately found a home in the Republican Party." Once more, the Democrats are attempting to get away with their signature political gambit -- blaming their opponents for what they themselves have done.
BLOG: IT WAS BARACK OBAMA WHO ATTENDED LA RAZA RALLIES WHERE HE REFERRED TO AMERICAN CITIZENS WHO DID NOT SUPPORT HIS OPEN BORDERS AGENDA AS "OUR ENEMIES".
The most successful accomplishment of the Democrats is what author Mark Levin calls the “balkanization” of society, or what Obama himself referred to as “division and resentment and paranoia.” Using their perverted version of “diversity,” the Democratic Party -- under the leadership of Obama -- fomented division and hatred after promising just the opposite. Instead of making everyone feel they are part of a unified American social structure, the Obama presidency played into the leftist strategy of “divide and conquer.”
The Democrats use diversity to exploit discontented elements in American society and to invalidate the individual. Mark Levin explains:
“It assigns [the individual] a group identity based on race, ethnicity, age, gender, income, etc., to highlight differences within the masses. It then exacerbates old rivalries and disputes or it incites new ones.”
The Left’s objective, Levin says, is to “collapse the existing society” by dividing the people against themselves. Rep. Mo Brooks of Alabama explains diversity in terms of vote getting:
“It’s a part of the Democratic Party’s campaign strategy to divide Americans based on skin pigmentation and to try to collect the votes of everybody who is a non-white.”
When you look behind the curtain, diversity is discriminatory. “Diversity in today’s America,” says Scott Greer in No Campus for White Men, “simply means having fewer whites around.” The left, says author Ben Shapiro, wants to portray America as “an incurable mass of bigoted whites.” The basis for diversity policy is that certain groups are encouraged to identify themselves as victims of white people. According to African-American author Thomas Sowell, people on the Left like to say, “I am a victim. Therefore, if you do not give in to my demands… you are a hate-filled, evil person.”
To progressives, diversity has nothing to do with equality as defined by Dr. Martin Luther King. Instead, they prefer George Orwell’s suggestion that (in a totalitarian society) “some animals are more equal than others.” The left’s version of diversity means that we must give special privileges to certain protected classes of people so they can acquire control over the system at the expense of the majority. I call this the “tyranny of the minority.”
Ironically, where you have obedience to diversity, there is no diversity of thought. People who demand attention to diversity really are against viewpoint diversity, also known as free speech. Diversity means “it is great to look different as long as you think the way I do.” Diversity is completely at odds with American values.
So how dare Obama lecture us about the politics of division? After eight years of the Obama presidency, race relations are worse than ever. Obama’s comments in case after case -- lies and distortions -- stoked the fires of racial discord and added to the racial divide. This is ironic because so many Americans -- black and white -- fully expected that the election of a black president would usher in a period of racial accord. No such luck.
In urging his University of Illinois audience to vote Democratic, Obama had the gall to argue that, “Our democracy depends on it.” More hypocrisy from our 44thpresident. Showing his contempt for the Constitution, Obama did everything he could to expand the power of government at the expense of individual liberty. He strove to “destroy America’s essence,” says American Thinker, “that commitment to liberty that makes her unique in this world.”
Donald Trump, in sharp contrast, cherishes the values that Obama holds in contempt. Trump’s commitment is to the foundational principles of the Constitution. He rejects minority identity politics. He wants to unify the country in its own self-interest. Trump’s objective is to drain the Washington swamp that benefited from Obama’s legion of illegal executive orders.
The final straw in Obama’s speech was his insistence that we need to restore “honesty and decency” in government. Here are his words:
“We do not… use the criminal justice system as a cudgel to punish our political opponents, or to explicitly call on the attorney general to protect members of our own party from prosecution because an election happens to be coming up.”
How can Obama make a statement like that after his administration weaponized the IRS against conservative opponents, and after his attorney general and FBI conspired to protect Hillary Clinton from the justice she so richly deserved? Well, I guess this is what we should expect from the man who promised, “If you like your plan, you can keep your plan.”

"Obama responds to serious concerns about his administration’s lawlessness with a derisive “so sue me.”
"When confronted by allegations of lawlessness, Obama takes no responsibility, and doesn’t even bother to defend the legality of his actions. Harry S. Truman famously said “the buck stops here."

America, all while claiming he’s battling corporate America. It’s corporate

by then-Vice President Al Gore in the Clinton White House; undermining the

BARACK OBAMA and
ERIC HOLDER: BUILDING OBAMA’S MUSLIM-STYLE DICTATORSHIP requires destroying
white middle class first.
NO POL IN
HISTORY SUCKED IN MORE BRIBES FROM BANKSTERS THAN BARACK OBAMA, AND HE DID IT
BEFORE HIS FIRST DAY IN OFFICE. What did the Wall Street banksters know that
took us so long to find out???
"One of the
premier institutions of big business, JP Morgan Chase, issued
an internal report on the eve of the 10th anniversary of the 2008
crash, which warned that another “great liquidity crisis”
was possible, and that a government bailout on the scale of that
effected by Bush and Obama will produce social unrest, “in light of
the potential impact of central bank actions in driving
inequality between asset owners and labor."
Obama, of course, covered up
his own role, depicting his presidency as eight years of heroic
efforts to repair the damage caused by the 2008 financial crash. At
the end of those eight years, however, Wall Street and the financial
oligarchy were fully recovered, enjoying record wealth, while
working people were poorer than before, a widening social chasm that
made possible the election of the billionaire con man and Demagogue in November
2016.
“The response of the administration
was to rush to the defense of the banks. Even before coming to power, Obama
expressed his unconditional support for the bailouts, which he
subsequently expanded. He assembled an administration
dominated by the interests of finance
capital, symbolized by economic adviser Lawrence Summers and Treasury
Secretary Timothy Geithner.”
Trump criticized
Dimon in 2013 for supposedly contributing to the
country’s economic downturn. “I’m not Jamie Dimon, who pays $13 billion to
settle a case and then pays $11 billion to settle a case and who I think is the
worst banker in the United States,” he told reporters.
Crony Capitalism, Economic plunder by Wall Street, Bottomless Bailouts
and Wider Open Borders to Keep Wages Depressed and Profits up.
The stupendous run-up on the global
stock exchanges and vast increase in the personal fortunes of the
financial oligarchy have depended on the relentless downward pressure on
workers’ wages and conditions.
This is a class-conscious
decision by the central bank executives, who understand that investors tend to
make far more money when the sword of mass unemployment and poverty is kept
swinging over the heads of workers.

lakefront park land to the private foundation controlled by Barack and Michelle
Obama. The Obama Foundation (Obama.org) promises to build a monument
to his presidency, called the Obama Presidential Center (OPC). It
has to be called the OPC because it will not be an actual presidential library,
under the control of the National Archives, but rather a privately controlled

Obama's America on Display at Kavanaugh Hearings
Obama's America on
Display at Kavanaugh Hearings
President Trump has been in an uphill battle to
reverse Obama's efforts to "fundamentally
transform" America. Trump's successes in the past 20
months in erasing the damage of the Obama's eight years are well
documented. But he has a long way to go based on what we saw in
the Kavanaugh hearings.
Trump's biggest challenge is to push back Obama's primary
legacy of identity politics, which is destroying the fabric of our
nation. Neighbors, family members and old friends have been
split apart, by design. Obama polarized America according
to race, ethnic background, sex, sexual orientation, and politics.
Like a deadly cancer, the Obama legacy has metastasized into
widespread hatred among Americans that was on display at the
Kavanaugh hearings. Obama's primary legacy is dangerously
malignant and more toxic than ever, fueled by cynical and destructive
politicians, the Alinsky Rules
for Radicals, and billions of dollars from the evil George Soros.
Statements from
the hearings and the left-wing mobs and commentators attempting to disrupt the
proceedings tell the story. "Call your senators and tell them
to vote no for Kavanaugh – the future of our country deserves more than a
privileged white boy." Were you able to catch the code
words? "Privileged." "White boy."
Hawaii Democrat Mazie
Hirono made headlines when she told
all men to "shut up and step up and do the right thing for a
change." In other words, men rarely do the right
thing. Men, did you get it?
Democrat Senator Cory Booker used his "Spartacus moment"
to suggest that Kavanaugh was guilty of "racial
profiling." Racial profiling, presumably against
minorities. Get it?
"Women deserve to be angry all of the time," said talk
show host Andy
Richter. "This country's government is an
abuser. We live in the most shameful of times." Yes,
of course, the Trump government is an abuser of women. Now armed
leftists, some with funding from George
Soros, are calling for mass violence if Kavanaugh is confirmed.
Here's one certain to win over a lot of Americans: "The
Antifa Website Calls for 'Slaughter'
of 'Fascistic Border Patrol Dogs and Their Bosses."
In short, the Kavanaugh nomination reveals the obvious: we no
longer have a viable two-party system in which both parties embrace our current
Constitution-based system, share the same set of core values and fairness, and
agree on certain standards of ethical conduct regardless of who wins an
election.
This all sums up the primary legacy of one Barack Hussein
Obama. You'll remember he's the one who appointed to the Supreme
Court Sonia Sotomayor, who famously suggested that a "wise
Latina" on the bench would come to more just decisions than a white
male. Did you get the code words there? Some Republicans
in a show of good faith actually voted for her.
Go back to July 2009, when Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates was
arrested outside his home in what was clearly a misunderstanding between him
and the police. Obama, just a few months in office, immediately politicized
it.
I don't know ... what role race played in that. But I
think it's fair to say ... the Cambridge police acted stupidly[.] ... We know
separate and apart from this incident is that there's a long history in this
country of African Americans and Latinos being stopped by law enforcement
disproportionately.
Did you get all of that? Police acted
stupidly. A long history of black Americans and Latinos stopped by
police acting "disproportionately."
After Trayvon Martin was killed after attacking a partially black
Latino who happened to have a "white" name, George Zimmerman, Obama quickly
jumped in, noting that if he had a son, he would look like Martin, a black
hoodie-wearing 17-year-old. Get it? I'm
black. The kid is black. He must be innocent. The
support Trayvon movement led to the formation of "Black Lives
Matter," an incendiary project funded by
George Soros that brags that it is now global network with more than 40
chapters.
When Michael
Brown was shot dead after assaulting a police officer in Ferguson,
Missouri in 2014, a large fuss was made over the racial composition of the police
department. Obama wasn't
going to let this crisis go to waste.
The death of Michael Brown is heartbreaking, and Michelle and I
send our deepest condolences to his family and his community at this very
difficult time. As Attorney General Holder has indicated, the
Department of Justice is investigating the situation along with local
officials.
The Department
of Justice subsequently found no civil rights violations in the
case. But the damage was done. Obama had already identified with
Michael Brown, showing "compassion" for his – as it turned out –
so-called family.
And who can forget Freddie Gray, Jr., a 25-year-old black man who
was arrested by Baltimore police for possessing an illegal
knife? While in a police van, Gray fell into a coma and
died. Obama wasted no time getting
involved. "This has been going on for a long
time. This is not new, and we shouldn't pretend that it's
new." Get it? Black people getting killed by police
has been going on for a long time. Riots
followed. Homicides with a preponderance of black victims
spiked. Ultimately, the six Baltimore police officers involved
(three of them black men and one black woman) were all found
not guilty or charges were dropped. But again, the damage had been
done. Obama's DOJ reluctantly announced it would not bring federal
charges against the officers.
It isn't just race that Obama has used to divide
us. The Obama legacy is also about sexual
politics. Remember when Obama ordered all U.S. public schools to
allow students to access
opposite-sex restrooms in a move that escalates the national fight
over LGBT rights? That escalated battles at the statewide
level. Michelle
Obama has also been part of the effort. After leaving the
White House, she said, "Any woman who voted against Hillary Clinton, voted
against their [sic] own voice."
Over 60 million Americans saw through this. Trump was
elected president. But the Obama damage was obvious. At
the end of Obama's presidency, just 27 percent saw the U.S. as more united,
according to an Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll conducted
after the 2016 election. Far more – 44 percent – said it was more
divided. USA
Today has just reported that a third of American voters think a civil
war is coming.
The Kavanaugh hearings were a major opportunity for the
left. Former House speaker Newt
Gingrich blasted the Democrats for behaving:
... in an evil way unworthy of the United States. This
has been the most despicable behavior by a major party in modern
history. This is a deliberate, vicious, character assassination –
hurt the guy's daughters, hurt his mother, hurt his wife, hurt his reputation –
they didn't care[.]
Writer Patricia
McCarthy called the Kavanaugh hearings:
... [t]he historical low point in American politics – and make no
mistake: this was all about politics, not Kavanaugh. If there was
any doubt before, there is no longer: the American left today is
malevolent. The Democratic Party has demonstrated for all to see
just how soulless it has become. The Democrats on the committee
disgraced themselves. The two youngsters, Harris and Booker, are
callow, shallow, rude, and power-mad. We have seen what they are
made of: pure narcissism.
But for Obama, they are the future of his America. New
York University professor Jonathan
Haidt notes that "diversity, immigration and multiculturalism are
right at the heart of the problem in Western democracies[.] ... Identity
politics is like throwing sand in the gears ... a world in which factions are
based on race and ethnicity, rather than economic interests, that's the worst
possible world."
Obama is not stupid. He knows this. It's his
road map.
The Obama legacy of hatred among identity groups is a viral cancer
in our society. It pits race, ethnic, and religious groups against
each other. It pits women against men. It is pitting gays
and others who claim LGBTQ victimhood against heterosexuals. As this
disease further metastasizes, our country faces an even more seriously divided
future. It is pushing us toward tribalism, balkanization, and
potentially, dissolution. The hatred of Trump by the left is
deep. He is a forceful barrier to their destructive
aims. We can't afford to lose him. But the question is
whether even Trump can put the Obama legacy into remission and prevent the left
from ripping our country further apart.

In response, Obama urged unity. But more significantly, he urged Americans to vote for Democrats in November as a check on the Trump administration’s “abuses of power.”
“In two months we have the chance, not the certainty, but the chance to restore some semblance of sanity to our politics. There is actually only one check on bad policy and abuses of power, and that’s you and your vote,” Obama said.
However, given Obama’s less-than-stellar track record at unity — millions of Americans would argue Obama is directly responsible for much of today’s division — Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) provided Obama with a scathing history lesson on divisive politicians.

OBAMA CRONIES GET RICH OFF MIGRANT KIDS
Razaists rip off America.
June 25, 2018
“More than one million immigrants have been deported since President Obama took office,” the 2011 PBS “Frontline” Lost in Detention contended. “Under his administration, deportations and detentions have reached record levels. The get-tough policy has brought complaints of abuse and harsh treatment, including charges that families have been unfairly separated after being caught in the nationwide dragnet.”
As Cecilia Muñoz, White House Director of Intergovernmental Affairs explained, “Even if the immigration law is executed with perfection, there will be parents separated from their children.” As it turns out, that separation policy was intentional, and the Obama administration deployed it to enrich cronies.
“Texas-based Southwest Key Programs has taken in roughly $1 billion in federal contracts since the Obama administration,” Fox News reports, “and is expected to receive about $500 million this year to house and provide services for immigrant children.” Southwest Key holds a total of “more than 5,000 immigrant children, about 10 percent of whom are said to have been separated from their families since May, when the new policy was announced. Its shelters for immigrants minors are in Texas, Arizona and California.”
Southwest Key Programs also operates “the largest licensed shelter for immigrant children in the United States. A 250,000-square-foot facility at a former WalMart superstore in Brownsville, Texas, today houses some 1,500 boys between the ages of 10 and 17 who illegally entered the U.S.”
According to a report by Drew Griffin of CNN, Southwest Key operates 83 detention centers across the country and has pulled in $1.5 billion in federal contracts. Southwest Key boss Juan Sanchez bags a cool $1.47 million a year “which makes him one of the highest paid charity CEOs in the country.” Mark Owen of the IRS told CNN Sanchez’s salary “extraordinarily high” and Sanchez’s wife grabs a salary of $262,000. The Southwest Key website does not feature management salary information.
KXAN of Austin reports that Southwest Key has received $995 million in federal funds since 2015. Over a three-year period, Southwest Key had “more than 200 violations at its facilities,” including a resident failing to receive proper care for a sexually transmitted disease (STD).

Southwest Key boss Juan Sanchez served on the board of National Council of La Raza (NCLR), where Cecilia Muñoz served as senior vice president and immigration analyst before POTUS 44 tapped her for the White House job. Southwest Key board member Anselmo Villarreal was also on the National Council of La Raza board from 2006 to 2012.
He now runs La Casa de Esperanza, which provides services to immigrants at locations nationwide. As Fox reports, “Villarreal has taken high-profile positions against Trump immigration policies, and last month participated in a march against a Wisconsin county’s plans to work with federal immigration officials.”
“La Raza was at the forefront of fighting for many issues of importance to Hispanics,” Fox News explains. “But it was also long criticized by those who charge that it is racist, and sympathetic to separatist ideology. The group rebranded, and changed its name in 2017 to UnidosUS.” Despite the name change, racism remains.
The primary source is La Raza Cosmica, by Mexican education minister and presidential candidate Jose Vasconcelos, republished in 1979 by the “Chicano Studies” department at Cal State LA. According to Vasconcelos, students from English, Dutch and Scandinavian backgrounds are “slower, almost dull,” compared to “mestizo children and youths from the south.” No scores but it’s something “any teacher can corroborate.”
Blacks are “uglier stocks” and part of the “inferior races.” Halle Berry and Ben Carson might want to call their office. The Mongol, “with the mystery of his slanted eyes,” is part of an “exhausted people” that lacks the “boldness for new enterprises.” Apparently Xi Jinping and Shinzo Abe never got the memo.
On the other hand, according to La Raza Cosmica, the fusion of Spaniards and Indians is a new race “infinitely superior to all that have previously existed.” That is the raza replacing those awful Yankee “Anglo-Saxons,” code for all non-raza peoples who speak English. The non-raza Yankees “are gradually becoming more a part of yesterday.”
Mexican American communist Bert Corona found The Cosmic Race similar to “the kind of German racial superiority theory supported by Hitler.” Even so, razaismo is the driving force of current efforts to violate the border and colonize the United States.
Consider, for example, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, former mayor of Mexico City and candidate for president in Mexico’s July 1 election. As the New York Times, explains, “Manuel López Obrador’s victory seems inevitable.” The only question is “the size of his victory.”
Sure-fire winner Obrador calls mass immigration to the United States a “human right” and says migrants “must leave their towns and find a life in the United States.” This razaista wants his lebensraum and he wants it right now.
If Obrador wins, President Trump might get him up to speed on America’s experience with regimes like that. And he might broach the subject of the $26.1 billion in remittances, an amount impossible without the bilking of American taxpayers on a massive scale.
Whoever wins, the migrants will be coming in force and the Mexican colonialists will find many collaborators among leftist Democrats, the establishment media, and the crony razaists ripping off kids and American taxpayers alike.
MEXICANS ARE THE MOST VIOLENT AND RACIST OF WESTERN CULTURES!
“A recent Pew poll indicated that a very large percentage of Americans of Mexican descent regard themselves as Mexicans. Not Mexican-Americans, not American-Mexicans. Just Mexicans.”
“In Mexico, a recent Zogby poll declared that the vast majority of Mexican citizens hate Americans. [22.2] Mexico is a country saturated with racism, yet in denial, having never endured the social development of a Civil Rights movement like in the US--Blacks are harshly treated while foreign Whites are often seen as the enemy. [22.3] In fact, racism as workplace discrimination can be seen across the US anywhere the illegal alien Latino works--the vast majority of the workforce is usually strictly Latino, excluding Blacks, Whites, Asians, and others.”
Just over half, 54 percent, say it is important that they change to assimilate into society, yet about two-thirds, 66 percent, say Latinos should maintain their distinct culture.
THIS IS LA RAZA:
The National Council of La Raza (NCLR) is not only one of the wealthiest and most politically powerful militant organizations in the country, it is also notoriously racist and subversive. The group's name, "La Raza," means "The Race," by which they are referring to ethnic Mexicans, or more broadly to "hispanics" or "latinos." And it is quite clear from their decades of vitriolic rhetoric — both spoken and written — that the La Raza activists are trying to engender not only race consciousness amongst hispanic U.S. citizens and Mexican migrants, but also racial militancy and animosity toward "Gringo America."
The NCLR grew out of the La Raza Unida (The Race United) Party and the Southwest Council of La Raza in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The key leaders were Marxist-Leninist followers of Fidel Castro and Che Guevarra.
In 1970, the California Senate Fact-Finding Subcommittee on Un-American Activities said this about La Raza Unida: "Its president is Maclovio Barraza. Mr. Barraza has been identified by the Subversive Activities Control Board as a member of the Communist Party, and presides over the Council which recently received a grant of $1,300,000 from the Ford Foundation."
Maclovio Barraza was the NCLR Board of Directors' founding Chairperson, and the NCLR continues to honor this hardcore Marxist by awarding the Moclavio Barraza Award to its top activist each year.
One of the early founders of La Raza was Professor Jose Angel Gutierrez, whose violent, extremist rhetoric has caused NCLR some public relations problems. Back in 1969, Gutierrez said: "We have got to eliminate the gringo, and what I mean by that is if the worst comes to the worst, we have got to kill him." He has continued to promote the same hateful "reconquista" ideology ever since. But that didn't stop NCLR from bestowing on him their "Hero Award" in 1994.
The radical student group MEChA (Moviemento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan), with which NCLR has been closely allied for several decades, is even more explicitly and militantly, having adopted the slogan, "Por La Raza Todo, Fuera de La Raza Nada," which translated means: "For the Race, Everything; Outside the Race, Nothing."
MEChA's founding documents and literature are replete with appeals to "La Raza de Bronce" (The Bronze Race) and condemnation of the "brutal gringo." MEChA, as its name suggests, is also a leading promoter of the radical "reconquista" (reconquest) movement, a plan of to take over the states of California, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, and Texas — a region they refer to as "Aztlan" — which they claim was stolen from the "Aztecan" peoples. NCLR provides major financial support to MEChA and many of NCLR's leaders were MEChA leaders in their college days.
NCLR: Agents for the Government of Mexico?
Especially troubling is NCLR's leading role in the Fundacion Solidaridad Mexicano Americana (Foundation for Mexican-American Solidarity, FSMA), an organization founded and funded by the government of Mexico and directed by the Mexican Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Ministry of Public Education. Both of these ministries have been engaged in efforts aimed at demanding full political rights for illegal aliens in the U.S. and indoctrinating America's Hispanic population in radical, racist La Raza ideology.
Top members of La Raza, MALDEF, the National Immigration Forum and other leading immigration activist organizations also serve on the Council of the FSMA. As such, they are acting as agents for a foreign power that is actively seeking to influence our national, state, and local laws and policies, in ways that are inimical to the interests of our nation and our citizens. NCLR and these other participating groups should be investigated by Congress to determine if they are breaking any laws, especially since these organizations and/or their affiliates not only enjoy tax-exempt status, but even receive millions of dollars from federal and state government agencies.*
"This is country belongs to Mexico" is said by the Mexican Militant. This is a common teaching that the U.S. is really AZTLAN, belonging to Mexicans, which is taught to Mexican kids in Arizona and California through a LA Raza educational program funded by American Tax Payers via President Obama, when he gave LA RAZA $800,000.00 in March of 2009!

What will America stand for in 2050?
The US should think long and hard about the high number of Latino immigrants.
By Lawrence Harrison
President Obama has encouraged Americans to start laying a new foundation for the country – on a number of fronts. He has stressed that we'll need to have the courage to make some hard choices. One of those hard choices is how to handle immigration. The US must get serious about the tide of legal and illegal immigrants, above all from Latin America.
It's not just a short-run issue of immigrants competing with citizens for jobs as unemployment approaches 10 percent or the number of uninsured straining the quality of healthcare. Heavy immigration from Latin America threatens our cohesiveness as a nation.
The political realities of the rapidly growing Latino population are such that Mr. Obama may be the last president who can avert the permanent, vast underclass implied by the current Census Bureau projection for 2050.

The “zero tolerance” program was dismantled by Attorney General Erc Holder once it had successfully cut the transit of migrants by roughly 95 percent. Initially, officials made 140,000 arrests per year in the mid-2000s, but the northward flow dropped so much that officials only had to make 6,000 arrests in 2013, according to a 2014 letter by two pro-migration Senators, Sen. Jeff Flake and John McCain.

The Chicago Model: Population Replacement and the Transformation of the USA
Speaking at the University of Missouri in Columbia during a 2008 speech, then-Senator Obama said, "We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America."
Many believe that this fundamental transformation was pursued for the eight years Obama was in office.
Few would say that at the time that a fundamental transformation was already going on in Chicago. For more than fifty years, the Chicago Democrats were using population removal to get votes and guarantee the outcome of elections. Just as an iron curtain once fell across Europe, a red curtain had already fallen across Chicago's 50 wards.
The roots of transformation
What are the origins of this program to transform the nation? The roots of Obama's politics are to be found in the uni-party politics of Chicago. It has been the aim of the national Democratic Party to use Chicago as a model and then impose that political model on the United States.
The Chicago model requires, first of all, population replacement. Population replacement leads to voter replacement and then cultural replacement. Once population replacement is accomplished, voting will eventually reach a point where it becomes irrelevant.
After population replacement, any opposition party to the Democrats can never get enough votes to stop the fundamental transformation of the United States from a constitutional republic to a socialist democracy. Democrats will always have a guaranteed majority once population is replaced. Today, uncontrolled immigration and redefining citizenship are the keystone to unlocking that guaranteed majority.
The ongoing debate over Obama's natural-born citizenship status is an example of how the subject of voting and citizenship is viewed by the Democrats. What should have been a discussion about constitutional qualifications became one about racism.
This accusation of racism nullified the issue in the minds of many, who had a foggy idea about citizenship to begin with. The debate also showed that Democrats want votes no matter where they can get them. They want votes up to the point where votes become irrelevant, as is now the case in most Chicago elections.
Englewood and Daley College
What we intend to show here in summary form is how the accumulation of individual lives and the political decisions made by men produce social changes that some may not desire and others maliciously intend. Just like the accumulation of individual coccolithophores over time made the white cliffs of Dover, so population replacement has altered forever Englewood and Daley College.
If we take as examples a Chicago neighborhood and an educational institution in the city, we see how a plan for fundamental transformation was carried out. Both of these examples show how population replacement eventually led to voter and cultural replacement. Population replacement and voter replacement became cogs in the uni-party state that continues to run Chicago, making the city the most segregated in the nation.
The destruction and transformation of Chicago's Englewood community was perhaps the first and best example of how population removal led to voter removal and the transformation of values. What happened over the course of about 50 years was that a viable community, often rivaling Chicago's Loop in terms of wealth, shopping, and cultural attractions, was transformed into a wasteland that encouraged broken families, poverty, and drug addiction.
The ruling Democrats in Chicago could see this transformation happening before their eyes and did nothing to stop it. They did little to stop redlining, the exodus of the white working class to the suburbs, or the influx of poor blacks from the South.
In short, Chicago's ruling elites built a plantation where blacks migrating from the Southern states would be housed in projects and made to vote Democrat. In many ways, black leaders became the capos of a plantation that assured that Democrats would win election after election in Chicago. Can anyone point to an example of how Jesse Jackson improved, over the long run, the lives of many blacks living in Chicago?
Local urban election victories would be in turn translated to victories on the national level by other segregated U.S. cities. Chicago became the model for Democratic victories at the polls. By the time Barack Obama ran for office, the formula for victory by controlling urban minorities with the help of progressive whites was well in place.
If we move from the example of how a neighborhood experienced population replacement for the sake of voter and cultural replacement, the transformation of Daley College on the southwest side of Chicago becomes a good example of how and institution can also be fundamentally transformed by removing one population and replacing it with another.
Daley College, originally named Bogan Junior College, was established to serve the white ethnic communities on the southwest side of the city. As Latino immigration increased in the '70s and '80s, a political decision was made to turn what was now Daley College into an all Latino school. That meant replacing the faculty and forcing out the white ethnic students. After an all Latino administration was put in place, little by little, Daley College was transformed into an all Latino institution. Population replacement also led to value and cultural replacement.
Where once there were students speaking Polish and
Lithuanian, students fleeing communism, there are now
Mexican students speaking Spanish and demonstrating in favor
of illegal immigration and socialism.
Ethnic cleansing in the U.S.
What happened at Daley College and Englewood was nothing short of ethnic cleansing, yet few in Chicago would recognize it as that today. Most Chicagoans know little of the history of Englewood or Daley College.
Liberalism and ignorance may be in the water they drink. Yet to participate today in that structure set up by the Democrats is to participate in its evil, the same way the Germans of the 1930s participated in the growing evil of their politics.
Across the nation, controversy over illegal immigration, the watering down of citizenship, and the relentless attack on U.S. history seems to many to be unending. Unfortunately, even those with a good heart and a desire for justice are attracted, perhaps in their innocence, to the illusions of the Democratic Party. Sometimes, we imagine that these misguided citizens outnumber those who are in politics not for patriotism, but for power. The structure of evil that is the Democratic Party is oblivious to them.
For the Democrats, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob must be replaced with the ideals of the progressive state. If the Democrats have to use Islam or the wisdom of the great theologian Nancy Pelosi for that removal, they will. In many cases, the ruling Democratic Party in large U.S. cities distorted the values of freedom and justice to the point where they became the false values of multiculturalism and diversity.
There are some who may argue that Chicago politics is just ordinary urban politics found in a U.S. city that has undergone wave after wave of European immigration. Furthermore, the fundamental transformation of Chicago has brought prosperity to some. Walking along the lakefront, it may be hard to argue against that point of view. To make a counter-argument, you must go to Englewood and Daley College to see the spiritual and physical devastation the Democratic Party's quest for power has wrought.
Beyond that, there is the religious question, which may be at the heart of U.S. political history. How did Catholic immigrants end up supporting a progressive politics that was opposed to their faith? Even when some Catholics resisted the transformation of their neighborhoods, as in the case of Father Lawlor, they were betrayed by Catholic politicians.
"Undocumented immigrants" will become undocumented Democrats
It is obvious to many who call themselves deplorables and those living in the heartland that the election of Donald Trump help saved the nation. The Chicago model of fundamental transformation could no longer proceed unstopped. Nevertheless, the Democratic Party is still focused on its goal.
As always, the world goes on. Yesterday's topless towers of Ilium give way to today's Magnificent Mile. The uni-party, headed by the Democrats, still runs Chicago. Chicago politicians are not yet done with their hope for a fundamental transformation.
The Democrats still plan to have the same power structure for the nation that we see in Chicago. Illegal immigration is the first step toward population and voter replacement, just like in Englewood and at Daley College. Illegal aliens will become undocumented Democrats.
Nevertheless, in many small towns across the heartland, citizens are becoming aware that population and cultural replacement is in store for them. They want nothing to do with it. In 2016, they took matters into their own hands. Donald Trump and the deplorables have frustrated the plan for national, uni-party control. It remains to be seen for how long.

Democrats will always have a guaranteed majority once population is replaced. Today, uncontrolled immigration and redefining citizenship are the keystone to unlocking that guaranteed majority.
The ongoing debate over Obama's natural-born citizenship status is an example of how the subject of voting and citizenship is viewed by the Democrats. What should have been a discussion about constitutional qualifications became one about racism.
This accusation of racism nullified the issue in the minds of many, who had a foggy idea about citizenship to begin with. The debate also showed that Democrats want votes no matter where they can get them. They want votes up to the point where votes become irrelevant, as is now the case in most Chicago elections.
Englewood and Daley College
What we intend to show here in summary form is how the accumulation of individual lives and the political decisions made by men produce social changes that some may not desire and others maliciously intend. Just like the accumulation of individual coccolithophores over time made the white cliffs of Dover, so population replacement has altered forever Englewood and Daley College.
If we take as examples a Chicago neighborhood and an educational institution in the city, we see how a plan for fundamental transformation was carried out. Both of these examples show how population replacement eventually led to voter and cultural replacement. Population replacement and voter replacement became cogs in the uni-party state that continues to run Chicago, making the city the most segregated in the nation.
The destruction and transformation of Chicago's Englewood community was perhaps the first and best example of how population removal led to voter removal and the transformation of values. What happened over the course of about 50 years was that a viable community, often rivaling Chicago's Loop in terms of wealth, shopping, and cultural attractions, was transformed into a wasteland that encouraged broken families, poverty, and drug addiction.
The ruling Democrats in Chicago could see this transformation happening before their eyes and did nothing to stop it. They did little to stop redlining, the exodus of the white working class to the suburbs, or the influx of poor blacks from the South.
In short, Chicago's ruling elites built a plantation where blacks migrating from the Southern states would be housed in projects and made to vote Democrat. In many ways, black leaders became the capos of a plantation that assured that Democrats would win election after election in Chicago. Can anyone point to an example of how Jesse Jackson improved, over the long run, the lives of many blacks living in Chicago?
Local urban election victories would be in turn translated to victories on the national level by other segregated U.S. cities. Chicago became the model for Democratic victories at the polls. By the time Barack Obama ran for office, the formula for victory by controlling urban minorities with the help of progressive whites was well in place.
If we move from the example of how a neighborhood experienced population replacement for the sake of voter and cultural replacement, the transformation of Daley College on the southwest side of Chicago becomes a good example of how and institution can also be fundamentally transformed by removing one population and replacing it with another.
Daley College, originally named Bogan Junior College, was established to serve the white ethnic communities on the southwest side of the city. As Latino immigration increased in the '70s and '80s, a political decision was made to turn what was now Daley College into an all Latino school. That meant replacing the faculty and forcing out the white ethnic students. After an all Latino administration was put in place, little by little, Daley College was transformed into an all Latino institution. Population replacement also led to value and cultural replacement.
Where once there were students speaking Polish and
Lithuanian, students fleeing communism, there are now
Mexican students speaking Spanish and demonstrating in favor
of illegal immigration and socialism.
Ethnic cleansing in the U.S.
What happened at Daley College and Englewood was nothing short of ethnic cleansing, yet few in Chicago would recognize it as that today. Most Chicagoans know little of the history of Englewood or Daley College.
Liberalism and ignorance may be in the water they drink. Yet to participate today in that structure set up by the Democrats is to participate in its evil, the same way the Germans of the 1930s participated in the growing evil of their politics.
Across the nation, controversy over illegal immigration, the watering down of citizenship, and the relentless attack on U.S. history seems to many to be unending. Unfortunately, even those with a good heart and a desire for justice are attracted, perhaps in their innocence, to the illusions of the Democratic Party. Sometimes, we imagine that these misguided citizens outnumber those who are in politics not for patriotism, but for power. The structure of evil that is the Democratic Party is oblivious to them.
For the Democrats, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob must be replaced with the ideals of the progressive state. If the Democrats have to use Islam or the wisdom of the great theologian Nancy Pelosi for that removal, they will. In many cases, the ruling Democratic Party in large U.S. cities distorted the values of freedom and justice to the point where they became the false values of multiculturalism and diversity.
There are some who may argue that Chicago politics is just ordinary urban politics found in a U.S. city that has undergone wave after wave of European immigration. Furthermore, the fundamental transformation of Chicago has brought prosperity to some. Walking along the lakefront, it may be hard to argue against that point of view. To make a counter-argument, you must go to Englewood and Daley College to see the spiritual and physical devastation the Democratic Party's quest for power has wrought.
Beyond that, there is the religious question, which may be at the heart of U.S. political history. How did Catholic immigrants end up supporting a progressive politics that was opposed to their faith? Even when some Catholics resisted the transformation of their neighborhoods, as in the case of Father Lawlor, they were betrayed by Catholic politicians.
"Undocumented immigrants" will become undocumented Democrats
It is obvious to many who call themselves deplorables and those living in the heartland that the election of Donald Trump help saved the nation. The Chicago model of fundamental transformation could no longer proceed unstopped. Nevertheless, the Democratic Party is still focused on its goal.
As always, the world goes on. Yesterday's topless towers of Ilium give way to today's Magnificent Mile. The uni-party, headed by the Democrats, still runs Chicago. Chicago politicians are not yet done with their hope for a fundamental transformation.
The Democrats still plan to have the same power structure for the nation that we see in Chicago. Illegal immigration is the first step toward population and voter replacement, just like in Englewood and at Daley College. Illegal aliens will become undocumented Democrats.
Nevertheless, in many small towns across the heartland, citizens are becoming aware that population and cultural replacement is in store for them. They want nothing to do with it. In 2016, they took matters into their own hands. Donald Trump and the deplorables have frustrated the plan for national, uni-party control. It remains to be seen for how long.
Barack Obama in Norway Slams President Trump on Global Warming PolicyFormer President Barack Obama on Wednesday laid out his vision before the Oslo Business Forum in Norway for tackling climate change if he were once again in the White House, while criticizing the Trump administration’s environmental policy.
A partial transcript is as follows:
INTERVIEWER: First of all, what everyone is curious about, if you were president once more for a day, what would you have done and why?OBAMA: You know, the truth is if I would president for a day I would do much because the nature of the U.S. presidency, although it is obviously is an extraordinarily powerful position, you stand atop a big ocean line. Steering that ship takes a lot of people and a long time, even if there is a move of a few degrees. So, in one day, I would say hello to all the staff at the White House that I miss. But, obviously, if I had a longer stretch of time, there was a lot of unfinished business when I left. That’s the nature of democracy, you take the baton from the person behind you and you run your race, then you have pass it on and you haven’t done everything you would like to do. The single highest priority that I see globally is the issue of environmental sustainability and climate change.Obviously, Paris Accords were an important step in the right direction, but it was only a first step and so much more work needs to be done. The good news is technology is accelerating faster than we might have expected, and I’m confident that if we’re able to create an effective ridge over, let’s say over the course of 25-30 years with more efficiency and deployment of existing technology, that we could get to a point were new technologies take us where we need to go. But, that requires a level of political and social commitment on the part of all of us: businesses, the non-profit sector, each of us individuals, that right now is not forthcoming. Unfortunately, we have a U.S administration that deals differently around these issues.
THE WORST EX-PRESIDENT DERBY
Will Obama overtake Carter?
September 19, 2018
Bruce Thornton is a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center.
Jimmy Carter must be pleased. He got to surrender his “worst postwar president crown” to Barack Obama, and now with Obama’s recent return to public appearances, Jimmy is hopeful that his award for “worst postwar ex-president” will soon be gone as well. The real question for the rest of us is whether Obama will help or hurt the Dems in November.
Carter and Obama are competing in the same category: reactive presidents. In 1976 Carter seemed the antidote to the scandal-plagued Nixon years. The church-going peanut farmer from Georgia appeared to be the principled outsider who could cleanse the stains of Vietnam and Watergate. No matter that Vietnam’s escalation had been a Democrat show, or that Nixon had drawn down U.S. troops in Vietnam from nearly half a million in 1969 to 27,000 in 1972. Or that Watergate, as Conrad Black described the Europeans’ bemused reaction, was “a pious exercise in Anglo-Saxon hypocrisy covering the crucifixion of a capable and successful president,” one confected and peddled by the Nixon-hating media. As democracies are wont to do, the electorate swung from a good president perceived to be bad, to a bad president perceived (at first) to be good.
Carter didn’t take long to show Americans that their reactive votes were a mistake. Carter was a knee-jerk moralizing internationalist who accepted the lie that America’s “recent mistakes,” as he said in his inaugural address, were the font of all the global disorder. Hence “principled” behavior by mere force of example would defuse conflicts and end human rights abuses. Disarmament, arms control agreements, the “disintegration” of the CIA, as Henry Kissinger put it, and the promotion of human rights would convert our inveterate rivals and enemies into friends and liberal democrats. As Carter said in his memoirs, “Demonstrations of American idealism” and “moral principles” should be the “foundations” of American power.
The consequences, of course, was the amoral Soviet Union’s global rampage, and Carter’s befuddled and timid response to the Iranian hostage crisis, which jump-started today’s neo-jihadist terrorism. His arrogant, misplaced piety, and his sermons about a “crisis of confidence” and an “inordinate fear of communism” disgusted many Americans. They knew that American confidence depended on vigorous action and patriotic pride, not homilies about our sins. Ronald Reagan was their answer, and a revived economy and a dismantled Soviet Union was the result.
Obama similarly was the response to George W. Bush’s “compassionate conservatism” and wars mismanaged by naïve democracy promotion. Obama’s failures are still fresh in our memory: more debt, more tax-and-spend domestic policy, a historically sluggish recovery, an unleashing of federal agencies against political enemies, a subordination of American sovereignty to the globalist technocratic cartel, a worsening of racial divisiveness, and a Carter-like foreign policy idealism of “engagement,” “leading from behind,” and “strategic patience” that culminated in the appeasement and bribery of Iran, and the furthering of the mullah’s nuclear ambitions and genocidal anti-Semitism. Obama’s lectures about America’s “mistakes” and dismissal of its “exceptionalism” disgusted voters. They knew that weakness invited aggression, and strength deterred it. Donald Trump was their answer, and a revived economy and greater respect––which is not a synonym for “affection” ––abroad, was the result.
In the worst president bout, Obama takes the gold because Jimmy Carter at least recognized his mistakes with Iran and at the end of his term increased defense spending, and showed some muscle with the Carter Doctrine, which put the world on alert that the U.S. would use military force to defend its interests in the Persian Gulf. Obama, without the nuclear-armed Soviet Union still fighting the Cold War, ended his second term with the disastrous Iran nuke agreement, and with Russia and Iran rampaging through Syria in support of a psychopathic autocrat.
As an ex-president, Carter had scant respect for that alleged “tradition” of ex-presidents keeping quiet about their successors. (A tradition, by the way, that George W. Bush should have considered more honored in the breach than in the observance during Obama’s eight years of “transforming” the U.S. from a constitutional Republic to a progressive technocratic oligarchy. Worse yet, when Bush did speak out, it was to trash Donald Trump not based on actions but on rhetoric and decorum and bad manners.)
Carter had no compunctions about staying in the public eye. His 1994 freelance diplomacy with North Korea miffed the Clinton administration. Carter negotiated a “parchment barrier,” one as thin as Hitler’s Munich agreement, for stopping the Kim clan’s development of nuclear weapons. Years later, in the run-up to the second Gulf war, his outspoken and politically opportunistic public attacks on what the Dems called Bush’s “unilateralism” and “failed diplomacy” in seeking authorization for a war against Saddam Hussein, won him a Nobel Peace Prize and publicly expressed gratitude from the Nobel Committee for opposing a war the Europeans opposed. So much for foreign policy debates stopping at the ocean’s edge. His later noisy participation in the dishonest and politically opportunistic antiwar movement culminated in his sitting next to Michael Moore, creator of the fictive anti-American “documentary” Fahrenheit 9-11, at the 2004 Democratic National Convention. These are just the highlights of Carter’s politically biased intrusions into American politics.
Barack Obama has now decided to compete with Carter in the worst ex-president category. His speech last week at the University of Illinois went after Trump with more sustained criticisms than his prior occasional snarky sniping. His comments were a tired reprise of the usual whining from two years of NeverTrump complaints and media distortions. There was this chestnut: “It should not be Democratic or Republican, it should not be partisan to say that we don’t pressure the Department of Justice or the FBI to use the criminal justice system as a cudgel to punish our political opponents.” Talk about hutzpah. Who was it that used the power of federal agencies to go after the Associated Press, Fox News’ James Rosen, and conservative Christian groups?
Or how about this howler: “Or to explicitly call for the attorney general to protect members of his own party from prosecution because elections happen to be coming up. I am not making that up. That is not hypothetical.” Indeed, it’s not “hypothetical,” since Obama unleashed his flunkeys in the FBI and DOJ to “protect” Hillary Clinton from the wages of her corruption and willful law-breaking “because” the 2016 presidential election “happen[ed] to be coming up.” But Obama played offense as well, siccing those same flunkeys on the Trump campaign, using questionable FISA warrants to surveil American citizens, and then “unmasking” their names. How’s that for “cudgeling” political opponents? That’s just a few of the 30 different scandals Matt Margolis documents in his book on Obama’s scandal-ridden administration.
Then there’s this decrepit argument that goes all the way back to Nixon’s “Silent Majority,” and then was freshened up by Clinton’s “angry white men” campaign tactic. “You happen to be coming of age” during a backlash, Obama told the Illinois U snowflakes. “It did not start with Donald Trump, he is a symptom, not the cause. He is just capitalizing on resentment that politicians have been fanning for years. A fear, an anger that is rooted in our past.” I’ll decode this tripe for you: white men who used to be the masters of the universe are angry, fearful, and resentful about their lost “white privilege,” and so lash out irrationally at women and “people of color.” They have been especially enraged by Barack Obama, and so voted for white supremacist enabler Donald Trump in order to get some payback. That’s the simplistic psycho-babble those “bright” progressives have long been famous for.
Finally, we are treated to this howler:
[W]hen you hear how great the economy is doing right now, let’s just remember when this recovery started. I am glad it has continued but when you hear about his economic miracle that has been going on, when the job number comes out, monthly job numbers and suddenly Republicans say it is a miracle, I have to kind of remind them, actually those job numbers were the same they were in 2015, in 2016.
It’s true that all presidents take too much credit and too much blame for the economic cycles. But let’s remember, the Great Recession ended in June of 2009. No one can credit Obama, since he had been in office a scant five months. Moreover, the recovery under his guidance was historically slow, including jobs recovery. So while Obama is right about the numbers of jobs created compared to Trump, he is silent on all the other Trump actions that have spurred growth: tax reductions for corporations and individuals, and pruning back growth-strangling regulations have lifted the market’s “animal spirits,” long depressed by Obama’s dirigiste policies and anti-business rhetoric. As a result, we had a second quarter GDP growth of 4.1%, with the fourth quarter estimated to be at least that high.
Throw in the booming stock market up 35% just in 2017, and record low unemployment rates, and Trump’s policies have to be given credit for this dramatic swing, rather than claiming that they are predictable results of policies Obama enacted. Remember how many Obama-supporting economists like Larry Summers were predicting GDP growth rates would remain about 2.0%, the “new normal”? How does that gloomy forecast from economists square with the claim that Obama’s actions started the trajectory of improvement that culminated under Trump? I don’t recall these experts predicting the current economic boom. Perhaps their “new normal” was just cover for Obama’s dismal record.
Based on his first foray into rallying the base for November, Obama is on track to best Jimmy Carter in the worst ex-president derby. Stale talking points, rank hypocrisy, and revisionist history will persuade only the most die-hard Obama fans. Voters who value concrete accomplishments over subjective standards of style and decorum will not be impressed. In fact, Obama’s further appearances will only remind voters why they voted for Trump in the first place.
The Fiscal Lunacy of Electing Democrats to Congress
On Sep. 7, Barack Obama waded into the midterm elections fray with a speech at the University of Illinois, proclaiming that the good economy we're currently enjoying actually started under him. According to Obama, Trump inherited it all. Be that as it may, what did Obama inherit?
Some will make Obama's economic inheritance out to have been the worst situation ever. But actually, the crisis that we faced in Sep.-Oct. of 2008 had already been dealt with by the Bush administration. Recall that the financial markets were seizing up; we were looking into the abyss, the collapse of capitalism. Treasury secretary "Hank" Paulson even reportedly knelt before Speaker Pelosi, begging her to usher the $700B TARP through Congress.
Bush, Paulson, and Fed chairman Ben Bernanke stepped into the breach and stopped the hemorrhaging. By the time of Obama's inauguration, the markets had reopened, money was flowing again, and disaster had been averted. So the worst of the crisis had been dealt with before Obama became president. But don't tell that to Barry, as he likes to think not only that he is responsible for all the good stuff that came after him, but also that nothing that preceded him was important.
What Obama's recovery was really about was propping up prices in the stock market and real estate, and in funneling money to his base – e.g., union members. What Obama's recovery was not about is government reform. Because Congress didn't deal with the underlying causes of the crisis, we're still vulnerable.
Obama's recovery, the most anemic since the 1940s, came at one helluva price. What's more, America has not yet paid that price and settled accounts. The Federal Reserve created trillions of dollars through multiple rounds of quantitative easing – i.e., Q.E. The "unwinding" of the Q.E. asset purchases continues.
More sobering than the Fed's Q.E. are the unprecedented deficits that Congress ran during the Obama administration. Even so, in his speech, Obama claims to have cut the deficit "by more than half." But in FY2008, the last full fiscal year before Obama became president, the deficit was $458B, which at the time was the largest deficit in history. Only one of the deficits during Obama's tenure got below the 2008 figure, and that by only $20B.
So when Obama claims to have cut the deficit by half, he's talking about cutting it from his own high point, and the high and low deficits under Obama were $1,412B in 2009 and $438B in 2015. From the high to the low, the deficit was cut by almost 69 percent; that's nearly $1T. So the cut in the budget deficit was not just more than one half, but more than two thirds.
However, this improvement did not happen under Speaker Pelosi. The improvement happened only after the 2010 midterm elections, when Republicans took back the House and replaced her. Pelosi and the Democrats were never able to get the deficit below a trillion dollars. (One can verify these numbers by looking at Table 1.1 on page 25 of the OMB's historical tables.)
Over the last two years, Republicans have disappointed on the deficit. But giving control of the budget back to Democrats at this time would be quite stupid. That's because the bill for the Democrats' deficits under Obama will start coming due on October 1, which is the start of fiscal 2019 and will mark the ten-year anniversary of Pelosi's first trillion-dollar deficit.
Any ten-year securities sold in 2009 will mature in 2019. And here's the thing: most of the public debt is Treasury notes, not bonds, and T-notes have a max term of ten years. Democrats actually expect voters to put them back in charge of the budget at the exact moment that we start paying back the bulk of the trillion-dollar deficits that they, the Democrats, ran up under Obama.
The federal government will soon be rolling over an unprecedented amount of debt, which will cause the interest rates on those U.S. securities to rise. Now is long past time for Congress to cut spending, but all you hear from Democrat candidates for Congress is more spending: "free" college, single-payer government health care, and other "free" stuff.
When Nancy Pelosi was campaigning to take control of Congress back in 2006, she touted PAYGO, pay-as-you-go financing meant to keep the deficit from rising. But her first budget, FY2008, had the largest deficit up to that point; her second deficit was nearly a trillion higher; and trillion-dollar deficits followed. In the midst of running her $1.4T deficit in 2009, Pelosi shamelessly flogged her fraudulent PAYGO at a House news conference. Talk about chutzpah.
On June 6 this year at The Hill, we read: "House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) and other top Democrats are vowing to abide by fiscally hawkish pay-as-you-go rules if they seize the majority next year, rejecting calls from liberals who feel they'd be an impediment to big legislative gains."
Also on June 6 at The Nation, we read: "Bold progressivism and 'pay-go' fiscal conservatism are mutually exclusive."
On June 7 at the Washington Post, we read: "If they're successful in winning back Congress this year and winning the White House next year, it [PAYGO] could seriously hamper their ability to pass progressive legislation."
On September 4 at The Intercept, we read: "Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi has made the public a big promise, vowing to handcuff her party's progressive ambitions, including in the event that a Democratic president succeeds Donald Trump, by resurrecting the 'pay-go' rule that mandates all new spending is offset with budget cuts or tax increases."
Fret not, my progressive friends: Pelosi's promise to abide by PAYGO was a lie in 2006, and it's a lie today. Voters should remember that in the middle of the Great Recession and a trillion-dollar deficit, Democrats passed a huge new entitlement: Obamacare. If Democrats really cared about fiscal responsibility, then rather than the easily ignored PAYGO, they'd be urging a balanced budget amendment.
On Sep. 10, former speaker Pelosi told CNN that she feels comfortable with the support she has in the Democrat caucus and that after the midterms, she will again be speaker. Decency would dictate that the person who ushered through the nation's first trillion-dollar deficit might demur from commenting on smaller deficits run by others, but not Nancy.
If it becomes ever larger in comparison to the economy, the debt will someday become unmanageable and America will have a "debt crisis." Leading up to that dreadful day, there'll be interest rate hikes, which are already underway. These rate hikes are coming at the very time when we'll be rolling over more government securities than ever. Politicians of both parties are responsible for this scary situation, but Democrats are worse. Democrats belong to the only party that has run trillion-dollar deficits while controlling both the Congress and the presidency.
Rather than a "blue wave," Democrats need to be spanked in November. When Democrats told us in 2006 that they would not make the deficit worse and would abide by the constraints of PAYGO, we gave them power, and they made the deficit far worse than it'd ever been. Now, twelve years later, Democrats again tell us they'll abide by PAYGO and expect us to put them back in power. And this, at the very moment the bill for their extravagant borrowing and spending under Obama is starting to come due. Holders of U.S. securities aren't like Obama's General Motors bondholders – they must be paid.
If there's even a remote possibility that Democrats might retake Congress and again control the budget and spending, real Americans should run to the polls on Election Day and vote Republican.

THE RISE TO POWER OF BANKSTER-OWNED BARACK OBAMA
'Incompetent' and 'liar' among most frequently used words to describe the president: Pew Research Center
The larger fear is that Obama might be just another corporatist, punking voters much as the Republicans do when they claim to be all for the common guy.
The Alinsky-ization of Brett Kavanaugh
Republicans and conservatives are fond of referencing Chicago community organizer Saul Alinsky, but how many have read his body of work? I've always referred to Alinsky's secular agitator bible, Rules for Radicals: A Pragmatic Primer for Realistic Radicals, as the sequel to The Communist Manifesto. Published in 1972, shortly before Alinsky's death, Rules was a significant part of President Obama's and Hillary Clinton's political upbringings – although he more influenced Obama, who followed in Alinsky's community organizing footsteps in Chicago in the '80s.
Alinsky's thirteen rules are effective. The first step to challenging them is actually recognizing them.
Here's how Democrats and the DMIC (Democrat Media Industrial Complex) Alinsky-ized Brett Kavanaugh, in the lead up to, during, and after his U.S. Supreme Court confirmation hearings.
1: "Power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have."
Outnumbered 51-49, Senate Democrats know that the arithmetic isn't on their side. If the Democrats and Republicans each hold court along party lines, Kavanaugh is our next justice, thanks to the nuclear option employed by Kentucky senator Mitch McConnell last year to get Justice Neil Gorsuch confirmed.
But a two-senator lead means the tie-breaking voter, Vice President Mike Pence, had better be on call when the roll call vote to confirm Kavanaugh is held. Democrats undoubtedly consider Republican senators Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski, of Maine and Alaska, respectively, to be free agents, particularly over Roe v. Wade. Kavanaugh was relentlessly questioned by Democrats over abortion; the goal was to create doubt that Collins and Murkowski would vote to confirm him. If uncertainty exists, it's unlikely that Democrats from states President Trump won in 2016 will cross the aisle. If Democrats somehow secure 51 nays, we'll have the modern-day version of Borked: Kavanaughed.
2. "Never go outside the expertise of your people."
Alinsky wrote in Rules that "the issue is never the issue." The reason the Democrats were obsessed with the documents withheld by the president has nothing to do with the documents; it has to do with the fact that the Democrats on the Committee on the Judiciary were unwilling to have substantive legal discussions. Why? Simple: because Kavanaugh would have made the Democrats – several of whom are trained attorneys – look like first-day law school students. Having authored 307 opinions, from 2,700 cases, during his 12 years as a federal judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals, along with dozens of speeches to law schools and legal groups, Kavanaugh's jurisprudence bona fides are not only rock solid, but also very public. There is zero we don't know about Kavanaugh's interpretive approach and acumen.
3. "Whenever possible go outside the expertise of the enemy."
I suspect that this rule guided The New York Times' and Associated Press's show-me-the-woman-and-I'll-show-you-the-crime expedition two months ago for the work emails of Kavanaugh's wife, Ashley, who was hired earlier this year as town manager of Chevy Chase, Md. The Times requested any emails that contained the words "gun," "abortion," "federalist" or "gay." Perhaps the Times believed that Mrs. Kavanaugh was fond of attending The Federalist Society lectures about concealed carrying lesbians who believe that abortion is creepy. The Times' request was a big dud; 85 pages of emails later, and, I'm sure, much to the newspaper's chagrin, nothing incriminating, and nothing about guns, abortion, gays, or federalists was discovered. The AP requested all of her work emails but hasn't yet reported on its findings.
4. "Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules."
Though there weren't explicit questions about Kavanaugh's Catholic faith, he noted his work with Catholic Charities. This rule was the basis for California senator Cuckoo Kamala Harris's lie that Kavanaugh called birth control abortion-inducing drugs (have you noticed how often I've already written about abortion?). And here's the ACLU's predictable fear-mongering that Kavanaugh would usher in a theocratic oligarchy. In fairness, I'm not angry at the ACLU, because voting is a lot like any decision or purchase: it's done based on fear or greed.
5. "Ridicule is man's most potent weapon."
Kavanaugh has been in Washington for decades; he's what many of us would call an "establishment" figure. This has provided an opportunity for the DMIC toattack his establishment "elitism," which President Trump swore to reject by draining the swamp. The median household income of Kavanugh's ZIP code is $12,000 a month, his house cost $1.2 million to purchase, and Kavanaugh racked up tens of thousands of dollars in credit debt to buy Washington Nationals season tickets. As coach of one of his daughters' basketball teams, his moniker is "Coach K." If the nickname Coach K doesn't smack of elitism, I don't know what does. The DMIC showed no qualms in portraying Kavanaugh as an out-of-touch Beltway insider. Oh, yeah, and people will die if he's confirmed.
6. "A good tactic is one your people enjoy."
Democrats know that most of their voters are out for blood, and a "good tactic" was to inextricably link Kavanaugh to President Trump, an "unindicted co-conspirator," according to Harris and Connecticut senator Richard Blumenthal, due to the plea deal of Trump's former personal attorney, Michael Cohen.
In the old days, Democrats weren't quite as politically loony as they currently are and were definitely more likable. Unlikability is a good tactic for the Democrats; the temperament of a justice is important, and the more unlikeable Democrats were in their questioning, the better the chances Kavanaugh would lose his cool. But alas, he kept his cool, especially during Harris's entrapping questionsabout possible conversations he had with Trump's lawyer's firm regarding the Mueller investigation. The Democrats tried to force Kavanaugh into the role of de facto spokesman for the president, but he was ready for them.
7. "A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag."
I didn't watch every second of the hearings, but I watched more than 75 percent, and Democrats said Trump's name dozens of times. New Jersey senator Cory Booker handled Trump fatigue by putting on a theatrical production worthy of Broadway: Booker, whose claim to fame was interrogating Mike Pompeo about sodomy during his secretary of state confirmation hearings, dared his Republican colleagues to expel him from the Senate. As was expected, President George W. Bush's name popped up. Kavanaugh worked for Bush, and the implication is that Kavanaugh has always been associated with illegitimate presidents.
8. "Keep the pressure on."
This is one of the easier rules to follow, because specifics aren't necessary. Attorneys who litigate before the Supreme Court know to expect random barrages of questions, and the Democrats kept up the pressure by interrupting Kavanaugh dozens of times, not including the interruptions from protesters. The interruptions failed in knocking Kavanaugh off his game – same for the objections to the hearings, coordinated by Democrats.
9. "The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself."
If I had to pick one rule sold the hardest by Democrats, it's this one. The "threats" posed by Kavanaugh sound a lot like the threats posed by Robert Bork, nominated by President Reagan in 1982. Said Massachusetts senator Edward Kennedy:
Bork's America is a land in which women would be forced into back-alley abortions, blacks would sit at segregated lunch counters, rogue police could break down citizens' doors in midnight raids, schoolchildren could not be taught about evolution[.]
Of course, had Bork been confirmed, none of those things would have occurred. But that wasn't important; it was the "what if?" threat of those things. In Kavanaugh's case, workers will have zero rights, felons will own machine guns, and women will be forced into back-alley abortions and die.
10. "The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition."
If Kavanaugh is confirmed, the Democrats will have lost the battle, but they will consider the larger war still winnable – especially considering that he's expected to be confirmed a month before the midterm elections. It was quite apparent which Democrats were thinking about running for president in 2020 (Harris and Booker) and which weren't (Partrick Leahy of Vermont). Those positioning themselves for a White House run will incorporate their self-aggrandizing "resistance" to Kavanaugh into their campaigns.
11. "If you push a negative hard and deep enough it will break through into its counterside."
In the case of Kavanaugh, this is a slight overlap of Rule 1. Trump has gotten 60 federal judges confirmed, is reforming the Supreme Court to how the Founders envisioned it, and has 100 pending federal judicial appointments. These realities are red-meat selling points to Democrat voters: "Look at the havoc Trump has wrought! We must prevent him from further destruction!" Just how deep it will break into the counterside remains to be seen, but desperation is all Democrats have left (although projected demographics, if not engaged, don't bode well for America First).
12. "The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative."
To have a chance of winning long-term political battles, there must be self-immolation and sacrificial lambs within the Democratic Party ranks. Adaptation is key. This is already underway, as evidenced by the rise of "democratic socialist" primary winners nationwide. In America, Leninism has always been implemented in creeping doses, until one day, it's mainstream. The constructive alternative will continue to be the message that overt, out-in-the-open socialism is necessary to prevent future Brett Kavanaughs.
13. "Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it."
In Clintonian fashion, the Democrats will persist. Remember: Kavanaugh can't prove he's not racist, or that he won't vote to send abortion battles back to the states, where they belonged in the first place. The Democrats will continue to color Kavanaugh identically to how we describe Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Sonia Sotomayor: as an untrustworthy judge who legislates from the bench.
My prediction: Kavanaugh will receive 54 votes to confirm, with Collins and Murkowski unlikely to defect.

The Obama Administration’s Unprecedented Assault on the Constitution and the Rule of Law The lawlessness of the Obama administration: A never-ending story
David Bernstein, professor at George Mason Law School, has a new book out titled Lawless: The Obama Administration's Unprecedented Assault on the Constitution and the Rule of Law. For a preview, check out his Volokh Conspiracy blogpost on the top six (not five, as in the headline) examples of lawless conduct by the Obama administration.
Many of these items might be familiar to people who have read my Washington Examinercolumns appearing in February 2013, July 2014 and February 2015, and blogposts appearing in August 2014 and March 2015. Or you might want to go back to my May 2009 column which coined the term "gangster government"—the title of my Examiner colleague David Freddoso's 2011 book Gangster Government: Barack Obama and the New Washington Thugocracy.
It's a subject that provides never-ending grist for a journalist's mill.
November 17, 2015
The Heritage Foundation, Lehrman Auditorium
http://www.heritage.org/events/2015/11/lawlessOverview: In Lawless, George Mason University law professor David E. Bernstein offers a scholarly and unsettling account of how the Obama Administration has undermined the Constitution and the rule of law. He documents how the President has presided over one constitutional debacle after another – from Obamacare to unauthorized wars in the Middle East to attempts to strip property owners, college students, religious groups, and conservative political activists of their rights, and more.Respect for the Constitution’s separation of powers has been violated time and again. Whether in amending Obamacare on the fly or signing a memorandum legalizing millions of illegal immigrants, the current Administration ignores not only Congress, but also the Constitution’s critical checks and balances.
In Lawless, Professor Bernstein shows how the Constitution as well as the President’s own stated principles have been betrayed. In doing so, serious and potentially permanent damage has been done to our constitutional system and repairs must be addressed by the next President of the United States.
A Pattern of Executive Overreach
Starting in 2010, the IRS, under pressure from congressional Democrats and the White House, engaged in blatant ideologically motivated discrimination against conservative organizations applying for non-profit status.
That the most feared bureaucracy in Washington was making decisions based on illegal political criteria should send a chill down the spine of any American who cares about the First Amendment and the rule of law.
Yet the Department of Justice has refused to indict even IRS official Lois Lerner, who invoked her Fifth Amendment right to silence to avoid incriminating herself in testimony before Congress.
Unfortunately, the failure to prosecute anyone responsible for abusing the IRS’s authority reflects the Obama administration’s broader contempt for the Constitution and the rule of law.
Consider just a few examples:
1. Going to war in Libya in blatant violation of the War Powers Resolution, and in defiance of the legal advice of the president’s own lawyers, based on the ridiculous theory that bombing the heck out of Libya did not constitute “hostilities” under the law
2. Appointing so-called policy czars to high-level positions to avoid constitutionally-required confirmation hearings
3. Modifying, delaying, and ignoring various provisions of Obamacare in violation of the law itself
4. Attacking private citizens for engaging in constitutionally protected speech
5. Issuing draconian regulations regarding sexual assault on campus not through formal, lawful regulation but through an informal, and unreviewable, “dear colleague” letter
6. Ignoring 100 years of legal rulings and the plain text of the Constitution and trying to get a vote in Congress for the D.C. delegate
7. Trying to enact massive immigration reform via an executive order demanding that the Department of Homeland Security both refuse to enforce existing immigration law, and provide work permits to millions of people residing in the U.S. illegally
8. Imposing common core standards on the states via administrative fiat
9. Ignoring bankruptcy law and arranging Chrysler’s bankruptcy to benefit labor unions at the expense of bondholders
10. Trying to strip churches and other religious bodies of their constitutional right to choose their clergy free from government involvement.
More generally, the president has abandoned any pretense of trying to work with Congress, as the Constitution’s separation of powers requires. He prefers instead to govern by unilateral executive fiat, even when there is little or no legal authority supporting his power to do so.
Presidents trying stretch their power as far as they can is hardly news. What is news, however, is that top Obama administration officials, including the president himself, see this not as something to be ashamed of, but as a desirable way of governing, something to brag about rather than do surreptitiously.
Obama behaves as if there is some inherent virtue in a president governing by decree and whim, as if promoting progressive political ends at the expense of the rule of law is proper not simply as a desperate last resort but as a matter of principle.
After all, Obama says, democracy is unduly “messy” and “complicated.” “We can’t wait,” the president intones, as he ignores the separation of powers again and again, ruling instead through executive order.
“Law is politics,” and only politics, according to a mantra popular on the legal left, and therefore the law should not be an independent constraint to doing the right thing politically. Obama seems to agree.
As Obama’s lawlessness has received increased attention from Congress, the (conservative) media, and the general public, the president has been defiant, even petulant. When confronted by allegations of lawlessness, Obama takes no responsibility, and doesn’t even bother to defend the legality of his actions.
Harry S. Truman famously said “the buck stops here.” Obama responds to serious concerns about his administration’s lawlessness with a derisive “so sue me.”
As George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley writes, Obama “acts as if anything a court has not expressly forbidden is permissible.” And in many situations, no one has legal standing to challenge the president’s actions in court—which means that no judge can stop the administration’s lawbreaking.
So sue me? If only we could.

Barack Obama in Norway Slams President Trump on Global Warming Policy
Former President Barack Obama on Wednesday laid out his vision before the Oslo Business Forum in Norway for tackling climate change if he were once again in the White House, while criticizing the Trump administration’s environmental policy.
A partial transcript is as follows:
INTERVIEWER: First of all, what everyone is curious about, if you were president once more for a day, what would you have done and why?OBAMA: You know, the truth is if I would president for a day I would do much because the nature of the U.S. presidency, although it is obviously is an extraordinarily powerful position, you stand atop a big ocean line. Steering that ship takes a lot of people and a long time, even if there is a move of a few degrees. So, in one day, I would say hello to all the staff at the White House that I miss. But, obviously, if I had a longer stretch of time, there was a lot of unfinished business when I left. That’s the nature of democracy, you take the baton from the person behind you and you run your race, then you have pass it on and you haven’t done everything you would like to do. The single highest priority that I see globally is the issue of environmental sustainability and climate change.Obviously, Paris Accords were an important step in the right direction, but it was only a first step and so much more work needs to be done. The good news is technology is accelerating faster than we might have expected, and I’m confident that if we’re able to create an effective ridge over, let’s say over the course of 25-30 years with more efficiency and deployment of existing technology, that we could get to a point were new technologies take us where we need to go. But, that requires a level of political and social commitment on the part of all of us: businesses, the non-profit sector, each of us individuals, that right now is not forthcoming. Unfortunately, we have a U.S administration that deals differently around these issues.
On Tuesday, Nov. 17, David Bernstein will be at The Heritage Foundation at noon for an event about his book, “Lawless: The Obama Administration’s Unprecedented Assault on the Constitution and the Rule of Law.” More details here.
The Russia Hoax As Contingency Plan
See also: Now we know what Strzok meant in that ‘insurance policy’ text to Page
Remember, back in August, 2016, when Peter Strzok and Lisa Page were obsessively texting one another? One exchange went something like, well, exactly like this:
Remember, back in August, 2016, when Peter Strzok and Lisa Page were obsessively texting one another? One exchange went something like, well, exactly like this:
"[Trump’s] not ever going to become president, right? Right?!" Page texted Strzok.
"No. No he won’t. We’ll stop it," Strzok responded.
Fast forward a couple of years and here we are in October, 2018, just about two years after Trump's electoral triumph, and for reasons best known to themselves Ben Rhodes and Jen Psaki have decided to reveal to New York Magazine that the Russia Hoax was a key part of the Obama Administration's -- and presumably the Clinton campaign's -- contingency plan to, well, steal an election: Obama Had a Secret Plan in Case Trump Rejected 2016 Election Results. We're all adults -- right? -- so there's no need to quibble over the meaning of words like "results." Here's what Rhodes and Psaki are saying:
The Obama White House plan, according to interviews with Rhodes and Jen Psaki, Obama’s communications director, called for congressional Republicans, former presidents, and former Cabinet-level officials including Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice, to try and forestall a political crisis by validating the election result. In the event that Trump tried to dispute a Clinton victory, they would affirm the result as well as the conclusions reached by the U.S. intelligence community that Russian interference in the election sought to favor Trump, and not Clinton. Some Republicans were already aware of Russian interference from intelligence briefings given to leaders from both parties during the chaotic months before the election. “We wanted to handle the Russia information in a way that was as bipartisan as possible,” Rhodes said.The existence of the postelection plan has not been previously reported. A July 2017 op-ed by Obama’s chief of staff, Denis McDonough, refers to Obama directing his staff to “prepare possible responses” to claims of Russian interference in the election.Psaki said the plan was one of a larger set of “red-teaming” conversations to address how the White House should respond to postelection scenarios that did not have any historical precedent. “There was recognition that we had a Democratic president who was quite popular but also divisive for a portion of the population,” she said. “For them, just having him say the election was legitimate was not going to be enough. We didn’t spend a lot of time theorizing about the worst thing that could happen — this isn’t a science-fiction movie. It was more about the country being incredibly divided and Trump’s supporters being angry. Would there be protesting? I don’t want to say violence, because we didn’t talk about that as I recall.” [emphases added]
Of course, the Obama and Clinton camps never foresaw -- or so they claim -- Trump winning the election.
Stunned crowd at Hillary's election night party (YouTube screen grab)
They feared a squeaker, a cliff hanger. Or, two years on, that's their story. So let's try a thought experiment of sorts. By dispensing with some of the coded language or doublespeak we come up with this more succinct version of what Rhodes and Psaki are saying:
The Obama plan called for prominent NeverTrump Republicans to try and forestall a Trump victory or -- God forbid! -- a Trump inauguration by throwing the election to Clinton based on claims -- and, no, I swear I'm not plagiarizing The Onion -- that Russia had interfered on behalf of Trump. This Russia Hoax narrative had already been floated among some NeverTrump Republicans, and they liked this "bipartisan" approach -- they would provide the cover needed for a coup. Planning had already gotten so far that Obama had directed his staff to develop an action plan for the event of a Hillary loss -- the rejection of continued Progressive rule would be "historically unprecedented (in their minds) and thus invalid.
As we know so well, in the event, Trump spoiled it all by posting an electoral landslide. The plotters had failed, in Strzok's words, to "stop it." Or had they? After all, an election is one thing, but the inauguration of a new president doesn't take place for two and a half months afterwards. Time enough to throw a whole smorgasbord of crackpot theories at Trump, and see whether any of it would stick! But the key to it all, right from the start, was the Russia Hoax:
Less than 24 hours after Hillary’s concession speech, Podesta and Campaign Manager Robby Mook convened a staff meeting at Clinton’s Brooklyn headquarters to formalize this attack. The effort was described by authors Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes in a book that explains “what happened” more insightfully than Mrs. Clinton’s memoir.“For a couple of hours, with Shake Shack containers littering the room, they went over the script they would pitch to the press and the public,” they wrote. “Already, Russian hacking was the centerpiece of the argument.”
Russia hacking, yes, but soon enough the whole "dossier" was part of the mix. The Russia-hacked-my-emails story just made people's heads hurt -- much better to go front and center with undocumented sleaze. Traditional but still effective. Or not. The plan quickly began to lose traction, both in the halls of government and the legislative branch as well as with the public.
What's interesting are the deep roots of the Russia Hoax. The basic idea can be documented as an action plan as far back as early Spring of 2016, with the efforts to frame hapless Trump foreign policy "advisers" as Russian agents. There are still many questions about those early events. Were Page and Papadopoulos unwittingly inserted into the Trump campaign by Democrat operatives? And how about Paul Manafort coming on board? A John Podesta protege to run the convention, to become campaign manager? Had Glenn Simpson -- the world class Paul Manafort expert and now Hillary opposition researcher -- died and gone to heaven? And that weird Trump Tower meeting -- how did that really go down?
The Russia Hoax was already in place, for use when needed, capable of adaptation to fits the circumstances. From campaign talking points to soft coup contingency plan was but a short step. Or paradigm shift, as we like to say.

From the Inside Flap
The Narcissist-in-Chief’s miserable legacy of failure and deceit.
October 25, 2018
Former President Selfie Stick is back in action, firing up Democrats before the midterms with his signature rallying cries:
I, I, I, I! Me, me, me! My, my, my!
According to a tally by The American Mirror's Kyle Olson, Barack Obama's campaign speech Monday for Nevada Senate Democratic candidate Jacky Rosen referred to himself 92 times in 38 minutes — or an average self-allusion every 24.7 seconds.
When he wasn't "I"-ing, the former narcissist-in-chief was lying.
"Unlike some, I actually try to state facts," Obama snarked passive-aggressively in a swipe at President Donald Trump. "I don't believe in just making stuff up. I think you should actually say to people what's true."
Sit down, Mister "If you like your plan, you can keep your plan."
Thanks to you, my husband, children and I lost not one, not two, not three but four private individual market health plans killed directly by Obamacare. Reminder: When the health insurance cancellation notice tsunami hit in 2013, liberal Mother Jones magazine sneered that the phenomenon was "phony." But after 4 million American families received cancellation letters at the end of 2013, Obama's health care prevarication was finally deemed the "Lie of the Year" by left-leaning PolitiFact.
And five years after promising Americans they could "keep their doctor" along with their health plan "no matter what," Obama belatedly 'fessed up that "the average person" would be forced "to have to make some choices, and they might end up having to switch doctors."
Facts, schmacts.
Moving on, Obama tried to galvanize voters this week by trashing Trump's jobs boom: "When you hear all this talk about economic miracles right now, remember who started it."
Hold up, Mister "Jobs are not coming back." I remember you taunting Trump for needing a "magic wand" to achieve what you claimed was an unachievable manufacturing industry renaissance — for which you are now claiming unadulterated credit!
I remember you, Mister Multitrillion-Dollar-Stimulus, promising the sun, moon and stars with the "most sweeping economic recovery package in our history" that was supposed to lift two million people out of poverty.
I recall sky-high unemployment rates for black Americans, nearly double the national rate, and 90 million-plus able-bodied citizens of all colors simply giving up looking for work while wasted billions went to fund crony green energy boondoggles, bridges to nowhere, renovations to Joe Biden's favorite Amtrak train station in Delaware, General Services Administrations junkets in Las Vegas and Hawaii, ghost congressional districts and stimulus propaganda road signs planted nationwide and stamped with the shovel-ready logo.
Speaking of which, I won't forget you smirking while you admitted at one of your phony Jobs and Competitiveness Council meetings that "Shovel-ready was not as, uh, shovel-ready as we expected." Yukkity-yuk-yuk.
Nor will it go down the memory hole how the Obama administration's wreckovery lies were enabled by slavering "journalists" like New York Times columnist David Brooks. He giggled on Jim Lehrer's PBS show that Obama had told him off the record that the shovel-ready promise was a crock, yet he sat on the truth until his Times' colleague Peter Baker reported the admission more than a year later.
Wait, we're not done yet. Astonishingly, Obama is now on the campaign trail comparing the Trump White House to a "tin-pot dictatorship" and calling for a return to "decency" and "lawfulness."
Yes, this is the same man who sicced the IRS on tea party conservatives, evangelicals and pro-life citizens, amnestied millions of illegal immigrants through executive fiat, appointed dozens of unaccountable and unvetted policy czars, used his Justice Department to spy on journalists, deceived the country over the Benghazi massacre and the Iran deal, demonized his political opponents, and mastered the very social justice agitation techniques now wielded by left-wing mobs targeting Republicans in every corner of the public square.
Thanks, Obama, for reminding America of your miserable legacy of deceit, division, persecution and redistribution as voters head to the polls. You wanna make the 2018 midterms all about you? It's on.
