The Senate confirmation hearings start this week. Six are scheduled for today. The Senate democrats will act like ravening hyenas tearing at the flesh of a dead wildebeest. The most notable will be that of Sen. Jeff Sessions, a good and moral man that these wolves have known and worked with for 20 years. That matters little. They have to put on a show for the still-angry and fuming mobs. After the name-calling, baseless allegations, and sideshow theatrics, he’ll be confirmed as Attorney General, thanks to the ham-handed bullying of the almost-departed Harry ‘the slimy toad’ Reid. When he arbitrarily changed the rules from a 60-vote threshold for judges to a simple majority he must have thought the dems would maintain a majority in perpetuity. His short-sighted gamble will cost them dearly.
Jeff Sessions shunned, slandered by longtime Senate Democrat collaborators Senate Democrats are poised to throw away 20 years of friendship and a bipartisan working relationship with Sen. Jeff Sessions to wreak political vengeance on him this week as they consider his nomination for attorney general.
Highlighting the deep partisan divide and the bad blood between Democratic lawmakers and President-elect Donald Trump, the same senators who have socialized and co-authored reams of legislation with Mr. Sessions are under pressure from liberal interest groups to air accusations that he is a racist, a sexist and a homophobe.
Senate readies for blizzard of confirmation battles Democrats are focusing their attacks on eight nominees, three of whom come to Capitol Hill this week: Betsy DeVos, Trump’s nominee for Education Secretary; Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.), who has been nominated to be Attorney General; and Rex Tillerson, Trump’s choice to be Secretary of State.
What this panel will effectively do is give a congressional soapbox, sanctioned by the GOP Judiciary chairman, to conduct a prolonged smear campaign with the intent to paint Sessions as some sort of unrepentant neo-Confederate racist.
What did we do? We confirmed seven Cabinet appointments the day President Obama was sworn in. We didn’t like most of them, either. But he won the election. So all of these little procedural complaints are related to their frustration in having not only lost the White House, but having lost the Senate.
In full disclosure it’s been decades … literally … since I’ve watched anything on network TV, save NFL games on Sunday. That’s why I pay to receive all the cable and pay tv channels. So there will be no insight forthcoming about this annual liberal lovefest where a bunch of phony personalities get all dressed up and congratulate themselves on how faaabulous they are. My evening was spent watching a movie with my wife. Far more satisfying and less stressful.
As predictable as the sun rising in the East, president-elect Trump was the prime target for ridicule and insult last night.
AP Panties In A Wad: Will Trump Ruin Mood At Golden Globes? According to the Associated Press, the mood of the Golden Globes ceremony which takes place on Sunday could be ruined by Trump simply due to the fact that he won the election. Dozens of high paid celebrities are in danger of having being completely bummed out simply by the existence of Trump as you can see in the title of their report: WILL HOLLYWOOD BE IN THE MOOD TO PARTY AT GOLDEN GLOBES?
It took Fallon not quite one minute to take his first swipe at Donald Trump.
This is the Golden Globes one of the few places left where America still honors the popular vote.
His next swipe at Trump came 3 minutes and thirty seconds into the monologue.
The film Florence Foster Jenkins is nominated. The character has been dubbed the world’s worst opera singer. And even she turned down performing at Donald Trump’s inauguration.
The next Trump ‘joke’ was 20 seconds later.
Of course, the ballots for tonight’s Golden Globes was tabulated by the accounting firm of Earnest and Young and Putin.
JUST LIKE THE CURRENT PRESIDENT, WHEN HIS TELEPROMPTER GOES OUT, HE CAN’T THINK OF ANYTHING COHERENT TO SAY.
THE MOST VICIOUS ATTACK WAS BY MARY LOU (MERYL) STREEP
Meryl Streep gave a nauseating and condescending speech at the Golden Globes that was aimed at Donald Trump. She painted Hollywood to be a bunch of ‘outsiders’ who are from different countries and if you (Trump) kick them out there won’t be any entertainment! She bashed popular sports like football and MMA which of course many Americans enjoy watching!
Meryl Streep continued to spread the lie that Trump imitated a disabled man. The truth is, Trump wasn’t mocking a disabled man, he does the same little hand gestures to poke fun at many different people.
Hollywood is full of overpaid actors who routinely have drug and alcohol problems yet they lecture us on morality.
Trump Not Surprised by Meryl Streep’s Golden Globes Speech
President-elect Donald J. Trump dismissed Meryl Streep as “a Hillary lover” early Monday morning after the actress, in a speech at the Golden Globes award ceremony, denounced him as a bully who disrespected and humiliated others.
[CtH: She said as she and her comrades used the Golden Globe bully pulpit to disrespect and attempt to humiliate Trump. Unlike the thin-skinned lame duck currently packing up his unearned medals, I think The Donald just laughs rather than gets humiliated. I still remember when Obama was new to the national stage, some writer did a long, long piece on him. In paragraph 40, there was a reference to his ears. Six weeks later, he approached her at a gathering and gave her a talking to about mentioning his ears, because he doesn’t like it. Six weeks later. Paragraph 40. I thought that right there told us all we needed to know about what a narcissistic panty-waist he is.]
“There was one performance this year that stunned me — it sank its hooks in my heart,” Ms. Streep said. “Not because it was good; there was nothing good about it. But it was effective and it did its job. It made its intended audience laugh, and show their teeth.”
Watch Hugh Laurie Roast Donald Trump, Republicans at Golden Globes
He began his speech by saying “Thank you first to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association for this amazing honor. I suppose it’s made more amazing by the fact that I’ll be able to say I won this at the last ever Golden Globes…I don’t mean to be gloomy, it’s just that it has the words Hollywood, Foreign and Press in the title.”
He also noted that “to some Republicans, even the word association is slightly sketchy.”
Laurie then accepted the award “on behalf of psychopathic billionaires everywhere.”
[Says the man who has made a fortune portraying a nasty doctor who bullies patients, friends, hospital staff, everyone he comes into contact with. I started out enjoying House, but when he never grew up and learned to treat others with respect, I stopped watching.]
2017 Golden Globes Show Progress From Last Year’s #OscarsSoWhite
HOW ABOUT GIVING OUT AWARDS BASED ON THE BODY OF WORK, NOT THE COLOR OF THE ACTOR?
WANDA SYKES IS A VICIOUS, FOUL-MOUTHED LESBIAN WITH A WHITE GIRLFRIEND. SHE CO-STARS ON THIS WHITE MOCK-A-THON.
The liberal ABC-Disney Television Network generated outrage during its televised coverage of the Houston Texans’ victory over the Oakland Raiders Saturday night in the Wild Card round of the AFC Playoffs, but it had nothing to do with the football.
Instead many viewers were annoyed at a promo for next Wednesday’s episode of ABC’s sitcom Black-ish, which features a predominantly African-American cast being decidedly anti-Trump in tone and nature.
JUST SEEING THE TITLE TELLS YOU ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE SHOW. BLACK PEOPLE MAKING FUN OF WHITES. THAT’S THE SCHTICK MOST BLACK COMEDIANS USE TO AMUSE THEIR BLACK AUDIENCES. I GUESS IT BEATS HAVING TO HAVE TALENT.
[CtH: Funny how they rail against having all the same behaviors directed at them.]
“Why does the NFL keep playing an anti-Trump commercial for the terrible show Blackish?” wrote one tweeter. “They must not know their audience.” Another viewer fumed: “I am offended at the preview for the show #blackish about voting for Trump makes you a racist!”

“IF YOU DON’T LIKE WHAT I’M DOING GO WIN AN ELECTION” — BARACK OBAMA
“But Eric,” Conway continued, “we did try to help in 2009. We were rebuffed and won everything not nailed to the ground in 2010 because ObamaCare was the first major entitlement passed in this country without a single vote from one of the two political parties. It passed without a single Republican vote. His party owns it.”
Freddie Gray case: Judge allows malicious prosecution lawsuit against Mosby to proceed A federal judge has ruled that a defamation and malicious prosecution lawsuit filed against Baltimore City State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby can go forward.
The lawsuit was filed by five of the six Baltimore Police officers charged in 2015 with the death of Freddie Gray.
The judge ruled that the suit against Mosby and Baltimore City Assistant Sheriff Samuel Cogen can proceed, said Michael Glass, an attorney for Sgt Alicia White and Officer William Porter.
Van driver Officer Caesar Goodson was the only officer who didn’t file a lawsuit.
Trump wins applause for his ‘refreshing’ celebrity-free inauguration TRUMP DOESN’T NEED THE SWOONING A-LISTERS TO FEEL VALIDATED. HE OWES THEM NOTHING.
“I’d like to see the inaugural completely celebrity-free. Wouldn’t that be refreshing? No endless parade of Kardashians or housewives, real or imagined. No supposedly funny parodies by Alec Baldwin. No endless yadda-yadda from Stephen Colbert. No words of wisdom from Barbra Streisand. Just a few patriotic tunes from a Marine Corps band and a man swearing on, yes, a Bible,” writes Mr. Simon in a recent op-ed for the news site.
“It won’t happen entirely, this celebrity-free zone — but it could be close and we should be thankful,” he adds.
Mass Shootings Under Obama Surge to 246.7% of His Predecessor Bush Despite his unconstitutional use of executive orders to push gun control, the number of Public Mass Shootings has significantly increased during his Barack Obama’s Presidency as the report below shows. Since President Barack Obama took office in January of 2009, he has taken every opportunity to politicize Public Mass Shootings. Often times he has used highly inflammatory rhetoric in order to advance new gun control legislation
Host Chuck Todd asked the panel if New York City needs Clinton as its mayor. New York Times columnist David Brooks mentioned that there are other options for the former Democratic presidential nominee.
“I just want her to have fun,” Brooks said. “You know, she could [do] “Celebrity Apprentice.” Apparently that’s not working out. Redskins coach, Paul Simon roadie, there’s a lot of good jobs she could have.”
Santelli Calls Out Andrea Mitchell: ‘On Election Night, I Never Saw You So Unhappy’
On Meet the Press, reacting to reports that the Russians were happy on Election Night because Trump won, Santelli said to Andrea Mitchell: “On Election Night, I never saw you so unhappy. You pick sides. Everybody picks sides.” An indignant Mitchell, protecting her [illusory] reputation for objectivity, shot back: “That’s not true, Rick. That’s just not true.” Sure, Andrea.
Israeli PM: Jerusalem truck attacker may be ISIS supporter
The driver who plowed a truck into a group of soldiers in Jerusalem, killing four people and injuring at least 10, may have been an ISIS sympathizer, according to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Three of the four killed were females. Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said three of the slain were cadets and one was an officer. HOPEFULLY THEY CAN START EXTERMINATING THESE ANIMALS

Sharpton Promises ‘Season of Civil Disobedience’ in Response to Sessions Nomination Sharpton recalled spending 90 days in jail for protesting on U.S. Navy land against military exercises on the island of Vieques in 2001 when George W. Bush was president, adding that civil disobedience usually works because it changes policy.
YOU WON’T CHANGE SQUAT THIS TIME, AL. DON’T BE SURPRISED IF IRS AGENTS PAY YOU A VISIT ABOUT SOME $4 MILLION YOU OWE IN BACK TAXES.
I remember what a stir this highly suggestive song created when it was released in 1976. It’s also the best I could come up with for a title on this sunny, cold Saturday afternoon.
The group began as ‘Fat City’, a husband/wife duo of Bill Danoff and Taffy Nivert. The band was also composed of Jon Carroll (keyboards and vocals) and Margot Chapman (vocals). Carroll and Chapman were also married after meeting as members of the group, but later divorced.
Federal Worker Union Is Blocking Republican VA Reforms President-elect Donald Trump promised to fire incompetent and dishonest Department of Veterans Affairs employees, but he will have to fight the American Federation of Government Employees—the largest federal worker union—every step of the way.
Liberals Awake from 8-Year Moral Coma For eight years, the voices of what passes for morality on the left were utterly silent as the values of generations of Americans were flushed down the drain. Those Americans whose desires, experiences and values differed from the leftist elite were treated as worthless garbage, no longer necessary to the imminent liberal utopia, except as a source of revenue.
Rep. Duncan Hunter removes painting depicting police as pigs Rep. Duncan Hunter removed a controversial painting from a hallway which connects to the U.S. Capitol Friday.
Rep. Lacy Clay, who represents Ferguson, Missouri, sponsored the annual art competition that resulted in this painting winning first place, though he says he did not have anything to do with selecting it. Earlier this week Clay told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, “Yes, some people find it offensive. I don’t find it offensive. I find it to be an expression of what one of my constituents is feeling about what he has experienced.”
Watch a Bunch of Democrats Try to Steal Our Democracy Congress officially certified Donald Trump as the 45th president of the United States on Friday afternoon over the objections of Democrats.
A handful of congressional Democrats objected as electoral votes for Trump were counted, but they were unable to hold up the certification process because they did not have the support of any Senate Democrats.
Vice President Joe Biden presided and was forced to gavel the House into order numerous times as Democrats spoke over him with their objections.
At one point, Biden informed the Democrats that “It’s over,” causing House Republicans to erupt in laughter.
“We had one goal in mind: we wanted to make higher education cool,” Obama said. “We wanted to change the conversation around what it means and what it takes to get into college.
Everyone knows it’s true. If white people did this, there would be riots.
Don’t act like it’s not a fact.
At least 20 stores would’ve been looted within hours of the story breaking.
Mainstream media would be all over it.
But since it’s the other way around, you’ll probably see mainstream media try to sweep it under the rug like it was some teens doing a prank.
Conway to Cuomo: ‘Don’t Say That Again’ About Trump Sheltering Russia The most volatile moment during the segment came when Cuomo accused Trump of “sheltering Russia,” and Conway slammed back: “He’s not sheltering Russia, and don’t you say that again.”
Conway charged that this activity is “just nonsense. The idea that Team Clinton is still running around doing it, people are doing it, your network is doing it constantly, and that’s what we need to push back on.”
“We’re against any foreign government interfering in our cybersecurity,” she added, which “is woefully underserved because big problems have not been tackled sufficiently in the last eight years.”
IF IT WERE NOT FOR HIS LAST NAME HE’D BE CHANGING TIRES AT WALMART
Obama set for pardon frenzy as he leaves officeA Rastafarian prophet, a former Taliban captive and thousands of minor drug traffickers have one thing in common: Their names have been submitted to President Barack Obama for clemency before he leaves office in two weeks.
Among them is Bowe Bergdahl, a US Army sergeant held captive for five years by the Taliban before his release in a prisoner swap, who is due to be court-martialed for desertion.
Leonard Peltier, a Native American activist convicted for the 1975 deaths of two FBI agents in what his supporters say was a setup, is also hoping to enjoy Obama’s good graces.
Then there’s Edward Snowden, who made the shattering revelation in 2013 of a global communications and internet surveillance system set up by the United States.
Kerry’s plan was criticized by Israelis for focusing on settlements and giving away Israeli sovereignty in Jerusalem. This week, a senior Palestinian figure rejected it for a more fundamental reason: Palestinians refuse to accept a Jewish state.
Governor Scott: “I have reached out to President-elect Trump. I have spoken to him and Vice President-elect Pence multiple times to keep them informed. And they told me any resources they need from the federal government they would do everything in their power to make that happen.”
He bypassed Obama.
Keegan-Michael Key reprised his role as President Obama’s “anger translator,” Luther, for one final goodbye on Comedy Central’s The Daily Show Thursday night as the real Obama prepares to leave office in two weeks.
Report: Trump orders Obama-appointed ambassadors to leave posts by inauguration DON’T LET THE DOOR HIT YOU ON THE WAY OUT
President-elect Trump’s transition team has reportedly ordered all ambassadors appointed by President Obama to leave their posts by the time the billionaire is sworn in — no exceptions.
That plan could leave the United States without Senate-confirmed diplomats in critical countries for months.
But several American diplomats familiar with the order told the New York Times that Trump’s team will not allow any extensions.
Joe Biden: No, Syria ‘Is Not a Failure’ Listen to the question from PBS’s Judy Woodruff. She clearly believes Syria is one of the great failures of this Administration. Biden will have none of it.
Wellness center associated with church Rush founded also received more than $2 million in government grants last year
MOST PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT FROM ILLINOIS ARE NOT AWARE THAT OBAMA RAN FOR U.S. REP IN 1992. HE WAS BEATEN BADLY BY RUSH, A FORMER BLACK PANTHER. GUESS BARRY WASN’T BLACK ENOUGH THEN. JUST ANOTHER CORRUPT BLACK DEMOCRAT.
[CtH: I did not know Obama had ever lost an election.]
Rep. Bobby Rush (D., Ill.) made payments to four family members that combined to more than $100,000 during the 2016 election cycle, campaign finance records show.
A wellness center associated with the church the congressman founded also received more than $2 million in government grants last year.
Oops, Yahoo Says Trump Wants What Kind Of A Navy? Yahoo subsequently apologized for the ‘spelling error’.
When President Obama took office in January 2009, 80,529,000 Americans were not in the labor force, the highest number on record. That number rose steadily during his two terms, reaching a record 95,055,000 in November 2016, then setting another record (95,102,000) in December.
In an interview with a Chicago reporter yesterday, Obama said he has done “an enormous amount” to create greater economic opportunity for Americans.
“I took an economy that was about to go into a Great Depression, and we’ve now had a little over six years of straight economic job growth, an unemployment rate that’s down below 5 percent, and incomes that have gone up and poverty that has gone down.”
But people who stop looking for a job are no longer counted as unemployed.
New Sheriff Who Defeated Arpaio (With Help of Soros) Calls Illegal Aliens “Guests” Newly sworn-in Maricopa County, Arizona, Sheriff Paul Penzone, in a January 4 interview with Phoenix TV station ABC 15, referred to illegal aliens as “guests.”
Penzone defeated Arpaio by 665,478 votes (55.6 percent) to Arpaio’s 531,674 votes (44.4 percent).
Leftist billionaire George Soros spent $2 million of his own money to get Arpaio out of office.
Greta Van Susteren to join MSNBC“I’m thrilled to start my next chapter at MSNBC,” Van Susteren said. “The network is the right destination for the smart news and analysis I hope to deliver every day, and I look forward to joining the talented journalists and analysts I respect there.”
FROM THE PENTHOUSE TO THE OUTHOUSE…WHAT A JOKE
Send in the Head Clowns The delusional Democrats of 2017
Republicans control the House, the Senate, 34 governor’s mansions, and 4,100 seats in state legislatures. But Democrats act like they run Washington. Nancy Pelosi’s speech to the 115th House of Representatives was a long-winded recitation of the same liberal agenda that has brought her party to its current low. Give her points for consistency I guess. Chuck Schumer is just being delusional.
Linking the higher power, Milbank fawned, “Watching the final days of the Obama administration, one suspects the Hawaiian-born president could empathize with Maui.”
If that kind of slobbering praise wasn’t enough, the journalist strained to connect the President to George Washington: “Announcing he was following in George Washington’s footsteps, he scheduled a farewell address next week.”
ASIAN CARP CAME TO THIS COUNTRY IN THE BILGE WATER OF CARGO SHIPS A FEW DECADES AGO. THEY NOW INFEST AMERICAN WATERS FROM THE ST. LAWRENCE SEAWAY ALL THE WAY DOWN THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER TO THE GULF OF MEXICO. THEY ARE VORACIOUS FEEDERS AND GROW AS LONG AS THEY LIVE, PUSHING OUT MORE DESIRABLE SPECIES. YOU’VE PROBABLY SEEN FOOTAGE OF THEM JUMPING, AS THE VIBRATION IN THE WATER FROM MOTOR-DRIVEN WATERCRAFT MAKES THEM JUMP. SOME PEOPLE HAVE MADE CATCHING THIS GARBAGE FISH INTO A SPORT. A SOMETIMES DANGEROUS ONE.
By now you’re all aware of the heinous act of savagery committed against a mentally handicapped white man by four mindless animals that are so common among the urban parasites. Four thugs have been arrested and the excuses have begun about how it isn’t a hate crime, blah, blah, blah. Turns out it wasn’t the first act of unspeakable cruelty by these subhumans. I had a number of links to post but I decided to forego posting anything about them since there’s really nothing new about it. Black on white crime has skyrocketed since Obama gave it his tacit approval. Hopefully it may ebb just a bit when Trump takes office, but, as they say, a leopard doesn’t change it’s spots and violence bred of ignorance and hate feeds upon itself and reproduces more grist for the racial hatred mill at a disturbing rate. Therefore I’m just going to let things be for now. There’s plenty of other news going on.
Obamacare Repeal Budget Resolution Passes Senate With 51 Votes THANK YOU, HARRY REID
The resolution, which used the reconciliation process to repeal elements of Obamacare with only 51 votes, was introduced Tuesday by Sen. Mike Enzi (R., Wyo.), the chairman of the Senate Budget Committee.
Democrats: GOP Wants To ‘Make America Sick Again’ This is similar to Alan Grayson’s — Republicans want you to ‘die quickly.’
It back to the old scare tactic of throwing granny off a cliff. This is why Dems lost 1000 seats in the last few elections.
[CtH: By Schumer’s reasoning, my kidneys failed because of Obamacare. So if the Republicans repeal it, I should start to get better!]
Earnest said Obama would not factor Trump’s tweet into his decision-making on the prison. Trump, he said, would have “an opportunity to implement the policy that he believes will be more effective when he takes office on January 20.”
NYAH, NYAH, NYAH… YOU CAN’T STOP US.
[CtH: It’s so obvious what a Big Fat Lie their “let’s have a smooth transition” is. It feels to me like every time Obama says this, he’s really saying, “Don’t demolish my legacy all at once!” Loser.]
Obama is going out in a blaze of self-interest Of all Barack Obama’s costumes, the most ill-fitting is that of the hawk. The guise doesn’t work for all sorts of ideological and historical reasons. Plus there’s the fact that he’s rushing to put on the outfit as he’s heading out the door.
Trump said Democrats, led by “head clown Chuck Schumer,” understand how bad the law is, but they’re not trying to work and fix it. Instead, all they’re doing is blaming, he added.
[CtH: As an unwilling constituent of Schumer’s, I second Trump’s remark. That inane comment about repealing Obamacare making America sick again was almost as bad as Pelosi’s “we have to pass it to find out what’s in it” statement.]
MSNBC host Rachel Maddow said Wednesday night that if Donald Trump ever appeared on her nighttime show, she would ask the president-elect if he intends on sending her or anyone else she knows “to a camp.”
YOU GOT TWO CHANCES OF TRUMP GOING ON THAT SOPHISTRY YOU CALL A SHOW… SLIM AND NONE. FAT TOOK THE TRAIN.
Hollywood Moonbat Nancy Sinatra Apologizes To “The Man Who Saved America,” Barack Obama, For The “Unprecedented Racism” He Faced.
YOU HAD ONE HIT RECORD IN ABOUT 1965 AND YOUR DADDY WAS A GANGSTER’S BUDDY. KINDLY PUT ON THESE BOOTS AND WALK ON OFF THE STAGE AND STAY THERE.
[CtH: I would really like to know what standard they use for saying he “saved America.” We were never in any danger of being invaded and conquered; he’s overseen the worst recession recovery in history; and he’s gotten us into more wars than any previous president. Did I miss anything?]
President-elect Donald Trump has picked Katie Walsh as deputy to chief of staff Reince Priebus (ryns PREE’-bus). Walsh worked for Priebus at the Republican National Committee and helped with party fundraising.
Rick Dearborn, who used to work on Capitol Hill, is taking over a top job dealing with Congress.
Joe Hagin – who’s worked in three GOP White Houses – is coming on board as deputy chief of staff for operations.
“On May 7, 2015, Donald Trump tweeted, ‘I was the first & only potential GOP candidate to state there will be no cuts to Social Security, Medicare & Medicaid.'”
[CtH: Earth to Bernie … the changes to Obamacare will not affect Medicare or Medicaid. Duh. The changes are about making free market health insurance more affordable by allowing health savings accounts, by removing state line bans (like we have in NY where Blue Cross/Blue Shield has a monopoly and our rates have been sky high for decades), and by allowing people to deduct health insurance premiums from their income tax. Employers have been allowed to deduct the premiums they pay on employees, but employees could not opt out of their employers’ plans and then deduct premiums. Nor could the self-employed deduct their premiums! It’s totally unfair AND it keeps health insurance tied to employment, which was a BIG factor in problems Dems cried about needing O’care for — i.e., insurance gaposis between jobs, with attendant waiting during new job start up periods and pre-existing condition exclusions. Health insurance should be totally private market, not tied to employment, where employees are forced into a plan that may not suit their needs and where they lose coverage if they get laid off or decide to change jobs, go back to school, move with a spouse to a new area, etc.]
Video of the infamous encounter between Casebolt, who is white, and the then 15-year-old Becton, who is black, brought national attention to McKinney and Craig Ranch, the neighborhood where it happened. In June 2016, Becton’s attorney asked the City of McKinney for $2.5 million to avoid a lawsuit, but the city didn’t take the deal, according to The Dallas Morning News. Later that month, a Collin County grand jury declined to indict Casebolt, who resigned four days after the party.
Clinton Mulling NYC Mayoral Run
Former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton is “talking about” running for New York City mayor, Newsmax reports. (SORRY… ONLY IMAGE WITH HILLARY’S NAME IN IT I HAVE RIGHT NOW)
It has only been 57 days since President-elect Donald Trump defeated Clinton. During the election slog, Clinton, 69, collapsed getting into a Secret Service van, had multiple coughing fits during speeches and seemed to have trouble walking up steps at a rally in Lake Worth, Fla.
“If she ran, she’d win,” a Newsmax source said.
SHE SHOULD… DEMOCRATS OUTNUMBER REPUBLICANS 3-1 IN NEW YORK. THAT’S WHY SHE DECIDED TO RUN OR THE SENATE THERE. IT’S A STACKED DECK.
In order to become president of the United States you must, of necessity, possess a large ego. That, and an awful lot of money. Of all the presidents in my memory, dating back to Eisenhower, none have come withing a country mile of being as self-absorbed, delusional, oblivious to reality, and incapable of speaking the truth as Barack Hussein Obama. He is without peer. Given every advantage, owing solely to his black half, he’s never done a day’s real work in his life. The heavy lifting has been done for him while he plays games and tilts at imaginary windmills like an erstwhile Don Quixote. He has thoroughly enjoyed pretending to be lord of all he surveys and will play the role until the bitter end.
President Obama Awards Himself Distinguished Public Service Medal On Wednesday, President Obama added another prestigious medal to his Nobel Prize collection when he had Defense Secretary Ash Carter award him with the Department of Defense Medal for Distinguished Public Service.
Oblivious Obama pens farewell as world burns down around him “I’m just beginning to write my remarks,” Mr. Obama says, brightly, as if the world were not burning down around him and poverty and joblessness and drug addiction had not taken such a merciless grip on our people.
“But I’m thinking about them as a chance to say thank you for this amazing journey, to celebrate the ways you’ve changed this country for the better these past eight years, and to offer some thoughts on where we all go from here.”
Really? This was all just a journey for you? Like we sent you off on an Outward Bound adventure to go find yourself and come home and bore us all with everything you learned?

I guess we can’t really fault them for one last hoorah. After all, because of the national embarrassment of Barky and Mooshell, it’s gonna be a long time before we see the likes of them in the WH again. And after Jan 20th, most all in attendees will consider The Peoples House as enemy territory.
The Obamas set for a $40 million payday – HALF to Michelle to dish about her hatred of Hillary, the antics of daughters Sasha and Malia and an intimate peek at marriage to Barack (boxers or briefs?) in her own memoir
Obama made more than $15 million from his books since his first memoir was published in 1995
He’s set to earn another $15 to $20 million more from his post-presidential tome
Michelle Obama could receive an advance paycheck of $20 million for her book
And the First Couple might pen a dual memoir with a pay day of millions more
Publishers say they would ‘kill’ for ‘gossipy White House dish’ and the Obamas’

‘The days of staid presidential and first lady memoirs are long over,’ one publishing executive told DailyMail.com. ‘We’re in a tabloid world.’
SOMEBODY NEEDS TO GIVE THEM SOME MONEY; HELL, THEY’RE ALMOST BROKE Appearing for an interview on MSNBC’s ‘Morning Joe’ program to promote his book, Maraniss maintained that Obama did not write a factual life history, but was ‘trying to see everything through a racial lens.’
Maraniss claimed, for instance, that Obama wrote a ‘concocted myth’ about how his adopted step-grandfather had died. Obama wrote that he was killed while fighting Dutch troops in Indonesia. In Maraniss’s book, he actually died while unsuccessfully trying to hang draperies.
YO, BILL; I NEED YOU TO WRITE ANOTHER BOOK FOR ME, HOMEY. MAKE IT GOOD, BECAUSE ME AND THE OLD LADY ARE GETTING REALLY BIG CHEDDAR FOR THIS CRAP. I’LL SEE THAT YOU GET TAKEN CARE OF. GIVE MY BEST TO BERNADINE.
She Can’t Stop Whining! Michelle Obama Tells Oprah: “People Don’t Understand How Hard This Is”
Michelle and Barack Obama’s family travels cost Americans over $96 million Her wardrobe cost American taxpayers tens of thousands of dollars. The Obama White House is notorious for late night parties with Hollywood stars and music legends. On Wednesday Michelle Obama whined to Oprah about how hard it’s been.
“People don’t really understand how hard this is. And it’s not something you just cavalierly just ask a family to do again… Let me just tell America, This is hard.”
Good grief.
Americans are out of work, paying five times the amount they used to for insurance, eating soup and noodles because of her husband’s failed policies and she’s whining about HOW HARD IT’S BEEN on her and her family?
When I first begin my daily foray into the world of the interwebs I always have the television on for background noise. It is very educational to see the wide array of wonderful products that are available thanks to our capitalist system. You can buy a pan that you can melt a plastic cup in and not have it stick (though if you’re serving melted plastic for dinner, don’t bother to invite me), you can cut the bottom out of a boat, replace it with a screen, spray some rubberized gunk on it, and fly through alligator-infested swamps, there is a spray that’s called something like ‘poo-gone’, or something. I mentioned it while the family was over for Christmas dinner — my kids all knew what it was (I raised them right) and today I saw a commercial for a lighted toilet so men wouldn’t miss the bowl if they went without turning on the light. American ingenuity is truly amazing.
Six NAACP protesters arrested after occupying Sen. Jeff Sessions’ office in Alabama THESE DICKHEADS ARE SO TIRESOME
