The Recount Follies
It is a fact that when democrats lose, especially in a monumental upset, they vent their anger in most curious ways. Petulant, egotistical, and bitter, they strike out in all directions in an attempt to get what they want, regardless of morals, ethics, or dignity. Now comes huckster Jill Stein. Fourth place finisher behind Trump, Clinton, and Gary Johnson, looking to cash in on the hysteria. She has raised some $7 million to ‘fund’ this Kabuki theater. Most of it will probably end up in her bank account. As long as it’s not taxpayer money, in the words of my grandson, “I’m good with that.”
Stringent PA Laws That Protect Democrat Voter Fraud May Stop Hillary from Stealing US Election
WHEN I WAS A VERY YOUNG BOY, MY GRANDFATHER TOLD ME IF YOU HOLD A SNAKE BY THE TAIL IT WILL TURN AROUND AND BITE YOU.
The problem with Pennsylvania’s recount process though for Stein and Clinton is that according to state law three voters in each precinct or election district in Pennsylvania must submit a notarized affidavit to the clerk in their individual election districts in order to initiate a recount. There are 9,163 precincts in Pennsylvania. As of noon Monday,the Philadelphia city Board of Elections had received petitions for 35 of the 1,686 voting divisions in Philadelphia, according to City Commissioner Al Schmidt. By 5:30 p.m., that number was 74— about 4 percent of the city’s total divisions
The laws in Pennsylvania are so stringent that it makes it nearly impossible to have a recount in the state. Unfortunately for Republicans there have been numerous mentions of fraud over the years in the city of Philadelphia alone. For example in 2012, in 59 voting divisions in the city, Mitt Romney received not one vote.
The Pennsylvania laws prevent a recount in areas like Philadelphia where there is good reason to suspect Democrat fraud. This year these same stringent laws may prevent Hillary from stealing the US election.
Oops! Jill Stein Misses Pennsylvania Recount Deadline – But She Did Raise a Ton of Cash
Green Party candidate raised enough money for a recount of votes in Pennsylvania but she missed the deadline on Monday to file.
It was a nearly impossible task to begin with.
Despite her successful fundraising effort, state law made Jill Stein’s potential Pennsylvania recount next to impossible.
Stein missed the deadline.
Trump won Pennsylvania by over 70,000 votes.
This was all a scam.
Wisconsin Rejects Doing Recount By Hand, Stein To Sue
The Wisconsin Elections Commission set a timetable Monday for a recount of the presidential election but rejected a request to conduct it by hand made by Green Party candidate Jill Stein, who quickly responded that she would sue.
It will be a race to finish the recount in time to meet a daunting federal deadline, and the lawsuit could delay the process. Under state law, the recount must begin this week as long as Stein or another candidate pays the $3.5 million estimated cost of the recount by Tuesday, election officials said.
Wisconsin Insider on Recount: Expect MASSIVE DNC Voter Fraud to be Exposed
The Wisconsin Elections Commission set a timetable Monday for a recount of the presidential election but rejected a request for a hand recount. The commission is made up of three Democrats and three Republicans. It adopted the recount plans unanimously.
Meanwhile a Wisconsin insider on 4Chan said to expect the recount to expose massive DNC fraud.
The Anonymous “insider” says the recount will reveal people out of state voting, non citizens voting, people voting numerous times, and nursing home violations.
Be ready for Trump to improve his margin of victory
Jill Stein’s recount is a scam — and it also trolls Trump
Jill Stein’s cynical push for recounts in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan has two obvious goals: to raise more political cash, and to “troll” President-elect Donald Trump. She’s succeeding on both fronts — the interests of the nation be damned.
It’s a pander to liberal hysteria over Trump’s win that will doubtless feed conspiracy theories for years to come. (At least she left Florida out of it this time.)
Krauthammer: Stein Is the ‘Ralph Nader of 2016 Now Cashing in on Her Sabotage of Clinton Campaign’
For this reason, Krauthammer made comparisons to the 2000 election, when Ralph Nader drew enough votes away from Al Gore in Florida to tip the state in George W. Bush’s favor.
“This is the Ralph Nader of 2016 now cashing in on her sabotage, there’s no other word, of the Clinton campaign,” he said.

“No evidence to support a challenge”

They Never Quit
It never changes. Arrogant, overbearing, and dictatorial when they win, graceless, lawless, bitter, and desperate when they lose. When the election of 1960 was over the margin of victory was razor-thin. It hinged on a massive fraudulent vote from Crook County in Illinois. Rather than throw a tantrum and demand a recount, as was his right, Richard Nixon decided to concede with dignity so as not to put the country through such trauma. Fast forward to 2000. Shoe on the other foot, it took the Supreme Court to stop the blatant attempt to steal the presidency after Bush won three — count ’em, three — recounts in Florida.
The leftists were caught completely off guard by Trump’s win they had to quickly devise a plan to steal what they’d lost fair and square. First, have George Soros fund protests all over the country for more than a week. The media ramps up the hysteria by attacking the new administration on every front. Have operatives try to threaten, bribe, or cajole electors into ignoring their mandate to help them steal a win. Then promise a nondescript fringe candidate tens of millions of dollars to be the decoy in an attempt to force recounts in three states that could turn the election. Only a fool believes that Jill Stein has her own interests at heart in this fiasco. She raised $3.1 million during her entire campaign. To fund the recount she came up with more than $5 million in 2 days. They will not go quietly. Hell,they won’t go at all.
Revealed: Hillary Clinton Schemed Since Day After Election to Steal Presidency From Donald Trump
In public Clinton acted out the part of the gracious, retiring loser– being seen in photos running into supporters as she roamed around her hometown of Chappaqua, New York. But the ‘accepting Hillary’ image was a front that hid the true Hillary who was furiously seeking a way to claw back Trump’s election for herself.
Elias admits the campaign could find no evidence to support a challenge to Trump’s victory, but that is not stopping them from joining Stein in trying to overthrow Trump’s presidency before it begins.
“Because we had not uncovered any actionable evidence of hacking or outside attempts to alter the voting technology, we had not planned to exercise this option ourselves, but now that a recount has been initiated in Wisconsin, we intend to participate in order to ensure the process proceeds in a manner that is fair to all sides.”
‘What a Pack of Losers’: Kellyanne Conway Blasts Clinton Campaign For Joining Recount
“What a pack of sore losers,” Conway said in a statement to Bloomberg. “After asking Mr. Trump and his team a million times on the trail, ‘Will HE accept the election results?’ it turns out Team Hillary and their new BFF Jill Stein can’t accept reality.
“Rather than adhere to the tradition of graciously conceding and wishing the winner well, they’ve opted to waste millions of dollars and dismiss the democratic process. The people have spoken. Time to listen up. #YesYourPresident,” Conway said.
Trump Releases Statement: The “Ridiculous” Green Party Recount Effort Is a Scam
This recount is just a way for Jill Stein, who received less than one percent of the vote overall and wasn’t even on the ballot in many states, to fill her coffers with money, most of which she will never even spend on this ridiculous recount. All three states were won by large numbers of voters, especially Pennsylvania, which was won by more than 70,000 votes.
The Democrats’ real strategy in launching recounts
The recounts, if done by hand, which can be demanded, may take longer than the last day for completing the official counts in a state and directing Electoral College voters. If all 3 states miss the deadline, Trump is at 260, Hillary at 232. No one hits 270.

“This initiative is not about helping one candidate and hurting another,” she said. “We said over and over, we don’t support either of them. In this recount effort, we’re not attempting to overthrow Donald Trump, and I don’t expect that will be the outcome.”
Instead, she said she picked the three states where the vote was the closest to ensure the integrity of the election.

Clinton campaign will participate in Wisconsin recount, with an eye on ‘outside interference,’ lawyer says
In a Medium post, Clinton campaign lawyer Marc Elias said that the campaign had received “hundreds of messages, emails, and calls urging us to do something, anything, to investigate claims that the election results were hacked and altered in a way to disadvantage Secretary Clinton,” especially in Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, where the “combined margin of victory for Donald Trump was merely 107,000 votes.”
“I don’t think there’s any realistic chance whatsoever that even if recounts are done in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, that’s going to change the outcome in the states, or in the presidential election generally,” Hasen said.
In a statement Saturday, Trump said the recount was “just a way for Jill Stein, who received less than one percent of the vote overall and wasn’t even on the ballot in many states, to fill her coffers with money.”

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.]

“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

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.

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.

Let the Games Begin
If anybody knows how to jerk the press around, it has to be Donald Trump. I can imagine he gets a real kick out of them making fools of themselves as they try to trip him up at every turn. He slipped out the other night to have dinner with his family at 21, a high-end steak house. It so happened there was a reporter there who immediately tweeted to all his co-conspirators that he was there. High dudgeon all around. How dare he actually go to dinner with his family without checking with them first? The nerve of the guy! Who does he think he is, the president?
FROM NBC:
As Trump Leaves Press Behind for Steak Dinner, Incoming Admin Already Showing Lack of Transparency
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.
The maneuver seemed to deliberately limit access to the media.
The only way the press eventually ascertained his whereabouts was after a Bloomberg reporter, who happened to be dining at the 21 Club, tweeted a photo of Trump and some of his transition team in the Midtown steakhouse.
While the dinner choice left the media mad, diners inside the former speakeasy were ecstatic.
“There was a standing ovation when he came and left,” said Andrew Testo, a 43-year-old who was eating with friends. “He was with his whole family. It was like Sunday dinner with the Trumps, but on a Tuesday. It was awesome.”
THINK HE DID IT ON PURPOSE? YOU BETCHA. AND WITH GOOD REASON.
MEDIA WAR ON TRUMP: Top 28 of 35 US News Stories on Tuesday were Anti-Trump Hit Pieces
The top stories on Tuesday show the absolute anti-Trump bias by corrupt American media.
28 of the top 35 articles are anti-Trump hit pieces.
The headlines include:

— Was Steve Bannon, Donald Trump’s Attack Dog, Paid Illegally?
— There’s No Such Thing as a Good Trump Voter
Noted Constitutional Scholar, Barbra Streisand, Urges Obama To Bypass Senate, Appoint Supreme Court Justice Unilaterally
“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.
Her Washington Post citation referred to an April 8 op-ed by Gregory L. Diskant, a national board member of the liberal advocacy group Common Cause, who argued that the Senate would have “waived its right” to confirm a justice if it failed to do so in a “reasonable amount of time.”
Democrats’ new Senate leader open to filibustering Trump’s Supreme Court picks
COUNT ON OBSTRUCTION AT EVERY TURN
Sen. Charles E. Schumer, New York Democrat, said nominations to the high court should get support from both parties, and said the filibuster is a way to enforce that on a president. He pointedly noted that when his party changed filibuster rules three years ago, they left intact the ability to filibuster at the Supreme Court level.
“I’ll underline that we did not change the rules for Supreme Court because we thought on something as important as this, there should be some degree of bipartisan agreement,” Mr. Schumer said.
Nancy Pelosi On Trump Win: “We’ve Been Through Hell”

“After every single election cycle, she (Pelosi) says things are going to change” in how she interacts with the caucus, the aide said characterizing lawmakers’ concerns. “But then, she doesn’t do anything different. It’s the same inside circle” surrounding her.

THE BIEN PENSANT WANKERATI…. DELINGPOLE HAS A WAY WITH WORDS
When it comes to dealing with people who behave badly and ruin the lives of others, I’m with the Old Testament rather than the New one: don’t turn the other cheek, let alone love them as thyself, but smite them, salt them, and crush them underfoot like the mutant slugs they are.

The MSM Savaging of Melania Trump Begins
And so, a piece at Yahoo News made an issue of a dress that Melania Trump recently wore. The headline read: “Melania Trump Wore a $1,655 Fiery Red Dress for 60 Minutes Interview.”

With Trump’s Signature, Dozens of Obama’s Rules Could Fall
Dozens of major regulations passed recently by the Obama administration — including far-reaching changes on health care, consumer protections and environmental safety — could be undone with the stroke of a pen by Donald J. Trump and the Republican-controlled Congress starting in January, thanks to a little-used law that dates back to 1996.
And it comes with a scorched-earth kicker: If the law is used to strike down a rule, the federal agency that issued it is barred from enacting similar regulation again in the future.
No, Obama can’t grant ‘amnesty’ by pardoning illegal immigrants
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.”
Giuliani: Trump can disavow Iran deal on day one
Former New York Mayor explains that Trump is not bound by Iran deal since Obama never brought it to the Senate for approval.
“First of all, the president has a lot of options. President Obama didn’t do what he should have done, under the Constitution. He should have submitted that to the Congress, that’s a treaty. There’s no way of escaping the fact that that’s a treaty,” argued Giuliani.
“It should have been submitted to the Senate… he never did. What that means is, that deal is over with the current president. Trump can disavow it, as a matter of law, like that,” he continued.

USGS Announces Largest Oil And Gas Deposit Ever Assessed In U.S.
TRUMP KNOWS ENERGY IS THE LIFE BLOOD OF THE ECONOMY. HOPEFULLY, HE ALLOWS PRODUCTION TO START
On Tuesday, the USGS announced that an area known as the Wolfcamp shale contains 20 billion barrels of oil and 16 trillion cubic feet of natural gas.
That is nearly three times more petroleum than the agency found in North Dakota’s Bakken shale in 2013.
“The Texas discovery is in a place that has been drilled before by conventional methods,” Jeff reported for NPR’s Newscast Unit. “But now that oil companies use horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing — or fracking — they can access reserves that previously were out of reach.”
Liberal hysteria over Trump is rapidly becoming self-satire
It turns out that the hundred million dollars’ worth of Hillary campaign demonization has paid off in creating millions of people gripped by hysteria over the utter evilness of Donald Trump. Calling Trump Hitler is already passé so the quest for superlatives of evil is running out of material. According to a U.S. Congressman, Hitler, and even Stalin and Mao are all pikers in terms of mass killing.
This Is No Time to Go Wobbly, Donald
Trump must continue to refuse to play the game.
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.
Obama sets new record for regulations, 527 pages in just one day
“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.
Obama has promised to regulate by executive authority, but the sheer number of pages of regulations being rushed through is astonishing.
Trump Could Cut $42 Billion Worth Of Regs Upon Taking Office
Trump said on the campaign trail that 70 percent of federal regulations “can go,” so the American Action Forum (AAF) put together a list of 48 major regulations Congress could invalidate under the Congressional Review Act (CRA).
“Together, those rules impose more than $42.5 billion in total costs, $6.5 billion in annualized costs, and 53 million paperwork burden hours,” AAF analysts Sam Batkins and Dan Goldbeck wrote in a new report.
Obama awards Springsteen, Redford and DeGeneres Medal of Freedom
Before he leaves office, President Obama is decorating a starry list of entertainers, newsmakers and civilians with the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
It’s no surprise that Bruce Springsteen made the cut.
On Wednesday, Obama named 21 recipients of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian honor, which is presented to individuals who have made especially meritorious contributions to the security or national interests of the United States, to world peace, or to cultural or other significant public or private endeavors.
The list honors a who’s-who of Hollywood, including Tom Hanks, Ellen DeGeneres, Diana Ross, Robert DeNiro, Saturday Night Live creator Lorne Michaels, Robert Redford and Cicely Tyson.

I KNOW, I KNOW, SHOCKED, RIGHT?
The doctor actually said President Obama hasn’t done anything for us anyway. Look what just happened now. He’s in the basement of a destroyed hospital and he frankly didn’t think that anything could get worse,” Engel said.
“And he thought maybe with a new president things could get better, so frankly if you’re at rock bottom, which is what they are at in eastern Aleppo, maybe any change looks good,” he added.
At least 87 people, including four children, were killed Wednesday by air strikes over rebel-held eastern Aleppo, CNN reported.
Dem Rep Calls For Review Of Trump’s ‘Financial Empire’

In sweeping to power he stepped over the heir-apparent,former first lady,senator,liar,enabler and queen wanna-be,Hillary Clinton.She waited eight long years for her turn to come.To make sure he got his second term she allowed 4 Americans to be butchered then lied about it for 6 weeks until after the election was over.
Her turn finally came.She had everything on her side.The press did her dirty work,her primary was rigged from the beginning,the White House,DOJ,FBI and State Department all joined together to protect her from prosecution for the myriad felonies she had committed.Once she was elected it would all go away.You would get open borders,you’d have a Supreme Court with a liberal majority for 30 years and somebody else would continue paying for your free stuff.The media even did its part to make sure Donald Trump,the media buffoon was the republican candidate so they could tear him to shreds for her.
But then something happened.Trump was not everybody’s first choice.He certainly wasn’t mine.but the thought of the disaster that would befall our nation under continued democrat rule was more than terrible to contemplate.You see,between the upper East side of Manhattan and the posh mansions of Beverly Hills lies a country.it’s referred to derisively as “flyover country.”The landscape is dotted with big city hellholes,all run by democrats.Drugs,crime and corruption rule in these decaying centers of despair.
Go 100 miles outside of any of these cities and you’ll find another America.You don’t understand us and never will.You think we’re all ignorant,backwoods hicks because all we want is to be left alone to raise our kids and live the way we choose without government interference.We go to county fairs and flea markets.When our high school teams go to state tournament we decorate the town with signs of encouragement.When misfortune befalls us,we don’t sit and whine with our hands out waiting for somebody else to help us.We do it ourselves.We don’t raise hell when things don’t go the way we want.We accept things for what they are and move on.
We get called everything your narrow minds can think of.Racist,bigot,homophobe,xenophobe.Anti-immigrant,anti-abortion,extremists.We’re told we can’t fly Old Glory because somebody might be offended.When some malcontent decides to walk on the flag or wipe their ass with it we’re told it’s free speech.A helluva lot more of us,our parents and grandparents sacrificed everything to defend that flag.Militant gays seek out Christian businessmen to force them to participate in things we view as a sin in the eyes of God.When they don’t,they get sued and lose everything they have.We’re forced to allow our 12 year old daughters to share a bathroom with a 50 year old man in a dress. homosexuals scream to stay out of their bedrooms then close off streets and have parades to show us what they do.
We’ve been forced to stand by and could do nothing.This last election was the culmination of the anger and frustration 66 million of us have had to hold inside,knowing there was nothing we could do.You could see at every rally the energy borne of this frustration building to a gigantic outburst.Last Tuesday the day of reckoning had arrived.We’d been mocked,ignored and persecuted long enough.It’s the one day every four years when our voice can be heard.And we WERE heard.
You didn’t get your own way,so the next day the protests began.Like a bunch of sheep you followed the Judas Goats bought and paid for by the most despicable human on the planet,George Soros.You demand we do away with the Electoral College because your girl won the popular vote.What you can’t get through your tiny skulls is that the Founding Fathers were prescient enough to anticipate something like this so the Constitution was written to prevent mob tyranny.
Listen,buttercup,you don’t have any right to demand anything.You don’t work,you don’t pay taxes,the people who wear uniforms and carry weapons,the people you enjoy denigrating are the ones who afford you the opportunity to voice your opinion,useless,though,it may be.You stood in the road waving your Mexican and ISIS flags,feeling like you were a big deal.

Collapse: Democratic Insider Says Clinton Lost White Rural Voters By A Three-to-One Margin
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.
NPR: Too Many Democrats Focus On The Cities And They’ll Be Left Out In The Cold If That Remains
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.

Awful… OBAMA Warns Against Rise of “Nationalism” – America First is Dangerous
Obama: We have to guard against a rise in a crude sort of nationalism or ethnic identity or tribalism that is built around an us and a them. And I will never apologize for saying that the future of humanity and the future of the world is going to be defined by what we have in common as opposed to those things that separate us and ultimately lead us into conflict.
This is the same guy that supports and cheers the Black Lives Matter terrorist movement.
Krauthammer: Obama Will Be Seen As Someone Who ‘Destroyed His Presidency With Liberal Overreach’
Krauthammer concluded, “[H]istorians are going to see him as a textbook definition of a guy who won on hope and change, who won with a wave of goodwill, and who completely destroyed his presidency with liberal overreach, beginning with Obamacare. And this is a rejection of ideology.” He further warned that if the Democratic Party goes further left, it won’t survive.
Eric Holder on Trump Win: ‘I Have to Think That at Least Part of It Though Was Decisions Made in My Justice Department’
“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.
In an interview with Maher, Holder said he was more relaxed because he wasn’t “carrying a bunch” of Republicans on his shoulders beating him up.
“You did a hell of a job, and they didn’t make it easy for you,” Maher said.
Majority of Trump Voters Were Impacted by ‘Religious Liberty’ and ‘Unborn Human Life’ Concerns
“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.”
The survey also found that two-thirds (66 percent) of surveyed voters overall agreed that “government should leave people free to follow their beliefs about marriage between one man and one woman as they live their daily lives at work and in the way they run their businesses.”

Obamacare: A decisive factor in Hillary Clinton’s defeat
As a White House consultant, Jonathan Gruber helped to design ObamaCare and was then caught afterward on this videotape talking about “the stupidity of the American voter.”
GRUBER: “Lack of transparency is a huge political advantage.” [:52]
Yesterday, Ira Stoll wrote at the New York Sun, “if anyone is ‘stupid’ in this story, it’s not the voters, but the academics who in their hubris designed an Affordable Care Act that became so unpopular that it became a decisive factor in Hillary Clinton’s defeat. … A friend of mine reported that while volunteering for the Clinton campaign in Pennsylvania, she encountered one voter who had just gotten off the phone with her health insurance company, ‘battling an astronomical increase in premiums. A cancer survivor, she had lost her favorite doctor when she went onto Obamacare two years earlier. Now her rates were going up.‘ That voter wound up supporting Trump.”

It’s not very often I make a recommendation. This is one of those times. This man made a series of videos before the election. This is his last one, a tribute to all who made an end to the socialist tyranny possible. This is well worth the 3 minutes it takes to watch.
Meet The 7 Veterans Newly Elected To Congress
THE MEDIA WON’T TELL YOU ABOUT THIS….BUT PETE WILL
The number of veterans serving in Congress is set to increase in 2017.
There’s no question that the military molds ordinary citizens into incredible leaders, and it appears the rest of the country has begun to recognize that, too.
At least 27 post-9/11 veterans won congressional races on Nov. 8, while the current Congress includes 26 veterans. In addition, at least 18 veteran incumbents won reelection and three senators were not up for reelection this year. There are, however, still handful of races that have run-offs as you can see from this chart drawn up by Military Times.

Oregon official who fined Christian bakery into shutting down loses election
Commissioner of the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries Brad Avakian gained infamy when he fined a Christian bakery with $135,000 for refusing to bake a wedding cake for a lesbian couple. Avakian looked to move up in the state government by attempting to run for Secretary of State. His campaign claimed that he would use his office to come down hard on corporations with audits, use his governmental powers to protect the environment, and police workplace pay.
None of these things being what a secretary of state does.
What’s more, Avakian lost to a Republican, former state representative Dennis Richardson. Aside from being a Republican beating a Democrat out of office in Oregon, Richardson will be the first Republican voted into statewide office in 14 years.
Agents Brace for Pre-Trump Border Surge
Border patrol union president predicts career-level supervisors will now resist Obama directives to stem rush
With Donald Trump’s presidency now only a matter of time instead of a hypothetical, border agents are bracing for a surge in illegal immigration at the southwest border as people race to get into the United States before the door shuts.
At the same time, according to the head of the union representing 16,5000 U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents, career-level managers of the agency are likely to push back against the directives of outgoing political appointees of President Obama.

Good News: Trump will Re-Install Churchill Bust in the Oval Office
In your face, Barack.
In 2009 Barack Obama removed the Churchill bust from the Oval Office.
It was tacky.
Obama replaced the Churchill bust with a photo of himself walking on water.
Mr Farage said: “We talked about the prospect of the United Kingdom being at the front of the queue, all of which was met positively.”
His comments come after outgoing President Barack Obama told the UK earlier this year that its decision to leave the EU meant it would be at the “back of the queue” for trade talks.
Trump’s plan to bring back coal country places EPA in crosshairs
Over the last eight years of the Obama administration, the EPA “used the legal rubrics of the Clean Air Act really to pursue a low-carbon energy policy and really not to further environmental protection,” she said.
“Carbon dioxide has no adverse impact in the air we breath at all,” Hartnett-White said. “It’s a harmless trace gas that is actually an essential nutrient for plants.”

The two also discussed how to resolve the conflict in Syria and how improve trade relations. They agreed that at the moment, the relationship between the U.S. and Russia was “unsatisfactory.”
The U.S. is “very much looking forward to having a strong and enduring relationship with Russia and the people of Russia,” Trump told the Russian leader.
Trump Tells ’60 Minutes’: ‘I’m Pro-Life. The Judges Will Be Pro-Life’
“Here’s what’s going to happen. I’m going to put– I’m pro-life. The judges will be pro-life. They’ll very much—” Trump said.
“But what about overturning this law?” Stahl asked.
They’re going to be very pro-2nd Amendment, but having to do with abortion, what it– if it ever were overturned, it would go back to the states, so it would go back to the states,” Trump said.
“Then some women won’t be able to get an abortion,” Stahl said.
“No, it’ll go back to the states,” Trump said.
“By state, no, some—” Stahl interjected.
“Well, they’ll perhaps have to go to another state,” Trump said.
“And that’s okay?” Stahl asked.
“Well, we’ll see what happens. It’s got a long way to go, just so you understand. That has a long, long way to go,” Trump replied.
