Obama Looking Forward To Vacation After The White House
The Obamas Just Bought Another House — And This One Is Really Far From Home
Though the family has already leased a posh nine-bedroom mansion in the North West neighborhood of Washington, D.C. for when they leave the White House, Barack and Michelle Obama are now the proud owners of a fifth home on the West Coast.
The Obamas bought a house in Rancho Mirage, Calif., a small town located near Palm Springs that is known for its golf resorts and was frequented by Obama during his presidency.
[CtH: The better for them to never again have to endure living in the same house. Remember when Candidate John McCain was reamed out for owning 7 houses? The hypocrisy of the Left never lets up. Candidate Rubeo was ripped for owning a fishing boat that cost less than a Prius. SecState Kerry owns a multimillion dollar yacht. And they’ve already started tut-tutting over the cost of Melania’s clothes, having ignored Michelle’s pricey wardrobe for 8 years.]
Obama’s Never-Ending Lecture Tour
President Obama, who has done less for Europe than any American President since Calvin Coolidge, cannot stop telling Europeans what to do. As Obama sets out on his final European tour as President, with his political party back home in a state of near collapse, and with Putin inflicting yet another painful humiliation on the least successful American President in the history of the modern Middle East, nothing seems able to shake his serene confidence that he knows more than other people, sees farther than they do, and that other people are eager to gather up his pearls of insight.
[CtH: I’m guessing he surrounds himself with people who lick his shoes.]
SR 1352 – Hillary Clinton Cannot Steal the Election From Trump!
McCain To Trump: I’ll Take You To Court If You Start Waterboarding Terror Suspects Again
WITH 52 SEATS IN THE SENATE THIS BACKSTABBING LITTLE TURD AND HIS ASSHOLE BUDDY GRAHAM THINK THEY CAN MAKE TRUMP BEG FOR THEIR COOPERATION… NEENER, NEENER, NEENER
“I don’t give a damn what the president wants to do,” he said. “We will not waterboard. We will not torture people.”
McCain went even further to say that anyone who brought back waterboarding would be in court in a “New York minute.”
“If they started waterboarding, I swear to you that we’d have them in court in a New York minute,” McCain said.
House erupts in chaos after LGBT vote
KARMA’S A BITCH, AIN’T IT?
It was an unruly scene on the floor with Democrats chanting, “Shame!” after GOP leaders barely muscled up the votes to reject, 212-213, an amendment by Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney (D-N.Y.) that would have effectively barred federal contractors from getting government work if they discriminate against the LGBT community.
Maloney, the amendment’s author, was furious with Republicans for how they handled the floor fight over his offering. He singled out Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) in particular for criticism, saying the No. 2 House Republican personally lobbied GOP members to change their votes when it looked like Maloney’s proposal would pass.
Jeff Sessions may prosecute ‘sanctuary cities’ if confirmed as attorney general
ACCORDING TO THE 10TH AMENDMENT, STATES CANNOT BE FORCED TO COOPERATE WITH FEDERAL AUTHORITIES.
From his first day in office, Mr. Sessions will have the power to strip some federal funding from sanctuary cities, thanks to rulings this year by the Justice Department’s inspector general, who said federal law requires localities to cooperate with immigration agents — and who provided an initial list of a handful of the worst offenders.
“The sanctuary cities thing is huge. I think most jurisdictions are going to fold like a cheap suit,” said Rosemary Jenks, government relations manager at NumbersUSA, which lobbies for stricter immigration laws.
Shocker: In Wake of Hillary’s Defeat, Donations to Clinton Foundation Dry Up
THAT WOULD BE LIKE PAYING A HOOKER FOR A HANDSHAKE. NO BANG FOR THE BUCK.
Donations fell as the former Secretary of State left the group in April last year shortly after announcing her run for the White House. Her departure also meant that revenue brought in from paid speeches plunged from $3.6 million in 2014 to just $357,500.
House Warns Obama, Passes New Law That Prevents Him from Pushing Through Last Minute Rules And Regulations
He knows his time is running out and he also knows he hasn’t really accomplished much.
It’s crunch time and we often see presidents try to cram parts of their agenda into these last few months.
Remember Bill Clinton’s infamous pardon of Marc Rich?
House Republicans made a big move this week to try and prevent any last-minute funny business from the president.
Obama blocks new oil, gas drilling in Arctic Ocean
A five-year offshore drilling plan announced on Friday blocks the planned sale of new oil and gas drilling rights in the Chukchi and Beaufort seas north of Alaska. The plan allows drilling to go forward in Alaska’s Cook Inlet southwest of Anchorage.
The blueprint for drilling from 2017 to 2022 can be rewritten by President-elect Donald Trump, in a process that could take months or years.
Despite that, industry representatives reacted bitterly to the latest announcement, calling the decision blatantly political.
“The arrogance of the decision is unfathomable, but unfortunately not surprising,” said Randall Luthi, president of the National Ocean Industries Association, an industry group.

Whites need not apply for ‘Hamilton’ open audition
I HAD TO POST THIS BECAUSE AFTER I TOLD MY FRIEND WILLIE ABOUT IT, HE DIDN’T BELIEVE ME.
“This adheres to the accepted practice that certain characteristics in certain roles constitute a ‘bona fide occupational qualification’ that is legal.”
It also noted other shows like “The Color Purple,” “Porgy & Bess” and “Matilda” that call for “race, ethnicity or age specific casting” — but agreed to tweak the ad.
“The casting will be amended to also include language we neglected to add, that is, we welcome people of all ethnicities to audition for ‘Hamilton,’” the statement added.
Asked about the casting call, the city Human Rights Commission reiterated that discrimination based on age, race, gender, disability and “other protected categories in employment advertisements” is prohibited.
HAMILTON Star Makes Jokes On Twitter About “Black Dudes” Taking Sexual Advantage of Drunk “White Chicks”
THIS IS THE LOWLIFE THAT DISRESPECTED PENCE. NICE GUY, HUH?
When not lecturing the Trump Administration form his bully pulpit, Hamilton star Brandon Victor Dixon is advocating rape, recently unearthed Tweets reveal.
“St. Patty’s day weekend is like Christmas for black dudes who like white chicks. Happy holidays boys. @reesewaters #seasonsgreetings.”

‘Stick to modeling’: Gigi Hadid is savaged on Twitter for ‘racist’ Melania Trump impression in which she puts on an Eastern European accent during debut hosting gig at the American Music Awards
Gigi Hadid has been attacked on social media over her ‘racist’ impression of Melania Trump during the American Music Awards
Model had put on a fake Eastern European accent and pulled a Melania-style pout to mock the First Lady-to-be’s plagiarism row
‘I love my husband Barack Obama,’ Hadid said as Melania, in reference to accusations that Mrs Trump ripped off a speech by Michelle Obama
Impression has been slammed as ‘racist’ and ‘disrespectful’ on Twitter while Hadid was told to ‘stick to modeling’
Model wore a variety of revealing dresses for her first hosting gig of an awards show
I NEVER WATCH AWARD SHOWS BECAUSE THEY’RE NOTHING BUT A BUNCH OF EGOMANIACAL, SELF-ABSORBED TRASH WHO THINK THEIR OPINION IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN ANYONE ELSE’S. THE LAST ELECTION PROVED THEM WRONG, SO NOW THEY SHOW THEIR TRUE COLORS.
A PILE OF TRASH IN A FANCY DRESS
Queen Elizabeth Plans Invitation for Trump Family Official Visit Next Summer
I REMEMBER VIVIDLY HOW ANNOYED THE QUEEN WAS WITH OBAMA. SHE KNEW HIM FOR THE COMMON WANKER HE TRULY IS.
President Obama strained the relationship by criticizing the United Kingdom’s colonial heritage, removing a Winston Churchill bust from the oval office, and giving the Queen the gift of an iPod containing all of his own speeches.
Flashback George Will: ‘Donald Trump Has NO Future In Politics’…’He’s a Buffoon and a Political Sociopath’
Oh yeah, George Will pretty much laughs at Trump’s political future.
This was a while back in the Green Room at ABC News
WATCH– George Will is really not as smart as everybody thinks he is.
Pence’s Hamilton Lecture Is A Reminder That Urban Elites Just Don’t Get It
They still don’t get it. They still don’t freaking get it. The metropolitan elites (i.e. snobby liberals) simply cannot grasp the America that exists beyond the highways and the suburbs. The forgotten communities that President-elect Trump resonated in and who had their revenge on November 8 when they loudly shouted that they’re not with her [Clinton].
Obama: “Extremely Proud Over 8 Years, We Have Not Had Kinds Of Scandals That Plagued Other Admins”
NOPE. NO DEEP-SEATED MESSIANIC COMPLEX HERE
Senator Jeff Sessions (R-AL) was the first US senator to endorse Donald Trump for president last year.
IN CASE YOU’RE NOT FAMILIAR WITH POMPEO:
TRUMP MUST BE DOING A GOOD JOB… ALL THE DEMOCRATS ARE PISSED OFF
The group credited the California Democrat for squandering their majority — losing 63 seats to Republicans in 2010 — by promoting unpopular policies like Obamacare.
Ryan responded: “We’ve already shown what we believe with respect to funding Planned Parenthood. We put a bill on President Obama’s desk in reconciliation. Our position has not changed.”
PRETTY SURE INTERIOR SECRETARY PALIN CAN FIX THAT
Despite the U.S. shale oil boom, which has made it the third largest global crude oil producer, the country still relies heavily on Saudi crude imports. Saudi Arabia is the largest Middle Eastern oil supplier to the U.S. with an 11% market share and has also invested heavily in U.S. downstream assets (refineries) to help lock in that supply. Around 31% of all U.S. oil imports are from OPEC members, while Canadian oil imports have a 41% share.
THEY’LL STOP AT NOTHING TO INTIMIDATE ELECTORS
Vice President-elect Mike Pence told House Republicans in a closed-door meeting Thursday to be ready to move a lot of legislation next year, Ways and Means Chairman Kevin Brady said.
SHE PROBABLY ALREADY MISSES THE WORLD TOURS, THE GOURMET MEALS, AND THE 35 SERVANTS… POOR BABY
WHAT AN ASSHOLE
IMAGINE HOW THE PEOPLE WHO WERE GOING TO SEE THEIR JOBS SENT TO MEXICO FEEL LIKE
In a highly unusual move, President-elect Donald Trump on Tuesday night left his Manhattan residence without notifying the reporters covering him or giving any indication of where he was going.
“According to the Washington Post, he has the power to do this since Congress has refused to vote, and apparently that can be considered a waiver of its rights to advise and consent,” she said.
A lot of the newer democrat reps think after 14 years as leader, it’s time to put this swaybacked nag out to pasture.
Like a baby sea otter on MDMA, basically: frolicking and swooping and frisking and diving in the lovely warm, salty water made up entirely of the tears of Hillary voters, greens, and the bien-pensant wankerati.
COMPARING MELANIA TRUMP TO MICHELLE OBAMA IS LIKE COMPARING A MASERATI TO A DUMP TRUCK
OF COURSE HER DRESSES COST MORE…. IT TAKES 40 YARDS OF MATERIAL FOR CHRISSAKE
WHY, HILLARY…YOU LOOK LIKE SOMEBODY JUST WALKED OVER YOUR GRAVE
“We have to get to the truth. It was was never about a political targeting of Hillary Clinton. She created one of the biggest security breaches in the history of the State Department. We still have tens-of-thousands of documents we still haven’t seen, there’s more than Hillary Clinton involved in this, you have dozens of people within the bowels of the organization,” Chaffetz said.
In reality, the president does not possess this authority, as unauthorized presence in the U.S. is a civil violation, not a criminal one. Presidential pardon power only applies to federal crimes, described as “offenses against the United States” in the Constitution. As such, “a pardon can’t make someone a citizen or lawful resident,” explains John Harrison, a law professor at the University of Virginia. “Deportation is not a criminal proceeding, it’s a civil process that removes from the country someone who is not entitled to be here.”
When I asked Pace, who retired from a job in dress manufacturing several years ago, if he thought Mr. Trump would ever win him over, he responded: “He said he’d protect Medicare. I can go along with that. He said he’d get rid of the Bloods and the Crips and the gangs—get them out of here. I like that. If he does those two things, he’s my man.”
TRUMP KNOWS ENERGY IS THE LIFE BLOOD OF THE ECONOMY. HOPEFULLY, HE ALLOWS PRODUCTION TO START
Democrats have repeatedly proven that bipartisanship to them means that Republicans roll over for whatever Democrats want. If not, Republicans are tarred as obstructionists, racists, or whatever other epithet du jour. That’s because progressives are cultists hungry for more power so they can impose their ideological vision by any means necessary. Like Goldfinger, they don’t want Republicans to talk, they want them to die.
“This is astonishing and should be of great concern, and intolerable, to policymakers. It is remarkable enough that the all-time record has been passed before Thanksgiving,” he added.
Before he leaves office, President Obama is decorating a starry list of entertainers, newsmakers and civilians with the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
“We have never had a president like Mr. Trump in terms of his vast financial entanglements and his widespread business interests around the globe,” Cummings wrote. “Moreover, we have not had a presidential candidate in modern times who has refused to disclose his tax returns to the American people.”
There’s been a sense that Democrats could largely write off the rural vote, as rural voters have left the party because the exodus was offset by demographic growth among urban and nonwhite voters, among others, said Tom Bonier, CEO of Target Smart, a Democratic data and polling firm.
It’s not only bad timing and gerrymandering that have hollowed out the Democratic Party. Mo Elleithee, a former Democratic National Committee official, says Democrats have never put enough effort and resources into state legislative races. Republicans, on the other hand, make those races a top priority.
“I have to think that at least part of it though was decisions made in my Justice Department that had at least some impact. I can’t quantify it, but I think it had some impact,” Holder said.
“It was the party platform that brokered the deal between Trump and Christian conservatives — a deal that was sealed in the final debate when Trump vividly described a partial-birth abortion and pledged to appoint pro-life justices,” he concluded. “The Republican Party platform played a key role in bringing Christian conservatives and Trump together.”
SLATE MAGAZINE STILL SUFFERING FIT OF APOPLEXY. THIS WILL LAST AWHILE.
A massive veterans reform bill backed by the Department of Veterans Affairs will face resistance in Congress’ lame-duck session starting Tuesday from a group intent on letting the new Republican-controlled Senate and President-Elect Donald Trump have a say in how expeditiously VA employees can be fired.
POOR GUY NEEDS SOME REST. THREE WEEK VACATIONS IN HAWAII, 300+ ROUNDS OF GOLF, HANDING AMERICAN SOVEREIGNTY OVER TO THE U.N., IT’S ALL BACKBREAKING WORK.
President-elect Trump has enraged the establishment media by choosing Steven K. Bannon as his chief strategist, because Bannon, they claim on the flimsiest of evidence, is a white supremacist and an anti-Semite. Meanwhile, that same media is hailing Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN) for announcing his candidacy for Chairman of the Democratic National Committee – despite Ellison’s very real links to Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood, two groups that are outdone by no one in anti-Semitism.
Does a Trump presidency mean public employees across the country will be freed from being forced to pay government unions against their will?
With a new president much loathed by the mainstream media and progressive elites, it shouldn’t be very long until we start hearing about the dangers of the “imperial presidency.” Where were they, we wonder, during the Obama years?
