Exactly one month until we rid ourselves of the stomach virus that has sickened us for eight long, agonizing years. I tried to make a list of everything he’s done to make this country better for everybody in America, not just climate alarmists, Black Lives Matter thugs, and illegal parasites. Couldn’t think of any. It is clear, like the petulant juvenile he is, that he’ll not return the courtesy he was shown by the Bush administration, but will make things as difficult as is humanly possible. The best analogy I can come up with is it’s like a large mass of excrement you’re trying to evacuate, but it’s so big it’s extremely painful. That’s probably an inartful description, but accurate.
Obama Said to Use 1953 Law to Permanently Block New Drilling Leases in Arctic, Atlantic
Obama will invoke a provision in a 1953 law that gives him wide latitude to withdraw U.S. waters from future oil and gas leasing, said the people who spoke on condition of anonymity because the decision had not been announced
Coming in the waning days of his administration, Obama’s move — which could come as soon as Tuesday — responds to a clamor from environmental activists who have looked for a way to lock in protections before President-elect Donald Trump takes office
Although oil companies have struggled to tap resources at the top of the globe, industry leaders say they will be needed to meet the world’s energy needs. The American Petroleum Institute has called the idea of permanently withdrawing offshore waters “incredibly short-sighted.”
Report: Obama intends to transfer more Gitmo detainees before leaving office
The Bush administration brought about 780 men to Guantánamo after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, saying that it could hold Qaeda suspects there in indefinite wartime detention without trial — a move that the Supreme Court eventually approved — and that it could disregard the Geneva Conventions in how it treated them, which the court rejected.President George W. Bush started trying to close the prison in his second term and bequeathed 242 detainees to Mr. Obama. If the proposed transfers go through, the 41 or 42 prisoners Mr. Trump would inherit include 10 men who were charged or convicted in the military commissions and 27 who have not been charged but are deemed too dangerous to release.
Obama grants clemency to 231 inmates in one-day record
With Monday’s grants, Obama has more than doubled the number of people he has pardoned as president, according to the White House, a number that now stands at 148. He has now commuted the sentences of 1,176 people, including 395 serving life sentences.
“Today’s acts of clemency — and the mercy he has shown his 1,324 clemency recipients — exemplify his belief that America is a nation of second chances,” White House counsel Neil Eggleston wrote in a blog post.
Sources: Lame Duck Obama to Allow Anti-Israel UN Efforts
Sources inform Breitbart News that U.S. President Barack Obama may allow anti-Israel resolutions to pass at the UN that would legitimize and strengthen the boycott, divestment, and sanctions (BDS) movement against the Jewish state.
Obama Heads to Golf Course After Receiving Reports on Berlin Attack and Russian Ambassador Death
The President and his motorcade departed the Kailua neighborhood where the First Family rents a vacation home at 10:21 a.m. Spectators on the street threw shakas and recorded photos or video on cell phones as the motorcade made the 10-minute drive to Mid-Pacific Country Club, where the President will be golfing under cloudy skies.
UN appeals for $547 million in aid to PA
UN launches appeal for $547 million to help 1.6 million Palestinian Arabs. The PA continues to spend its budget on terrorist salaries.
The United Nations on Monday launched an appeal for $547 million (524 million euros) to help 1.6 million people in the Palestinian Authority (PA) Sin 2017, AFP reports.
The PA has repeatedly asked for foreign donations in recent years, claiming it is on the verge of collapse due to a worsening financial crisis.
At the same time, while blaming Israel for the PA’s financial woes, Abbas continues to spend six percent of the PA’s annual budget to pay $4.5 million a month to jailed terrorists and another $6.5 million to their families.
Michelle Obama ready for anonymity after ‘painful’ election
“You know, there’s nowhere I can go in the world and just sit at a table and have a cup of coffee and watch the world,” Obama said in what is expected to be her final sit-down interview.
WHICH GOES BETTER WITH YOUR COFFEE? THE LOBSTER OR THE WAGYU BEEF?
The first lady also said the recent election “was challenging for me as a citizen to watch and experience. It was painful.”
Still, she said she and the president are supporting President-elect Donald Trump’s transition because “it is important for the health of this nation that we support the commander-in-chief.”
She added that the same thing wasn’t done for her husband, but “this is what’s best for the country.”
UN Chief: Abandoning Paris Climate Deal Will ‘Condemn Future Generations to Untold Suffering’
BE THANKFUL PRESIDENT TRUMP DOESN’T KICK ALL YOUR POMPOUS ASSES OUT OF THE COUNTRY. GO SQUAT IN IRAN.
Ban declared that the planet was at “a critical juncture.”
“We are … the last generation that can avert the existential threat of climate change,” he said. “We are the last generation to do something to prevent – stop this climate change happening.”
When The Donald’s campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway, 49 — the first female in history to run a successful presidential campaign — dared to suggest last week that she’s reluctant to accept a full-time position in the Trump administration in order to better perform her important duties as mother to four children, ages 7 through 12, an anti-Conway campaign was launched by buttinsky feminists.
Such tolerant, loving people.
IT’S NOT LIKE SHE MADE A DISGUSTING COMMENT ABOUT SACHET OR MALARIA OR ANYTHING.
Japanese 2nd Lt. Hiroo Onoda eventually offered his flag of surrender but only when his commanding officer traveled to the Philippines in 1974 to tell him that the war had ended — 29 years earlier. Hillary Clinton could similarly inform her followers to go home and give it up. But that comes only when she finally decides to give it up. But as her vanquisher noted, “She does fight hard and she doesn’t quit.”
WITH WEATHER IN DC IN JANUARY, I PREDICT THIS WON’T END WELL
JOHNSON JUST WON ANOTHER TERM, DEFEATING McCAIN’S ASSHOLE BUDDY, TRUSTY RUSTY FEINGOLD, WHO WAS TRYING TO CLIMB BACK ON THE FEDERAL GRAVY TRAIN
One such critic is Ray Starmann, editor-in-chief of U.S. Defense Watch, who told The Daily Caller that it’s one more example of how politicians have “forgotten the mission of the military is to defend the country.”
YO, ADRIAN! I DID IT!!

Ohio became the 19th state to ban abortions midway through pregnancy, with Gov. John Kasich signing a so-called “pain-capable” law on Tuesday.
Since the election, Mayor de Blasio has been reassuring New Yorkers that his administration will work to protect them from potentially harmful polices that have been proposed by Trump over the past year — particularly on immigration
CONSIDERING THE GRADUATION RATE IN D.C. IS 25%,MOST OF THESE KIDS ARE 14 OR 15.SOME MAY NOT EVEN BE PARENTS OR HAVE A FELONY RECORD YET.I DON’T SEE THE BIG LOSS
The declaration by Hilary Tone, who works a day job as communications director for D.C. Public Schools, was prompted by president-elect Donald Trump’s selection of Rick Perry to lead the Department of Energy. Pointing towards Perry’s stated desire to abolish the department he’s been tapped to lead, Tone quipped that she would personally like to lead (and presumably also eliminate) the “Department of White Men.”
THIS GUY IS REALLY NASTY….TOO BAD. SUCKS TO BE THEM.
While moving out of the White House, President Obama will also be packing his suitcase for a holiday. The outgoing executive told Comedy Central’s Trevor Noah that after eight difficult years he’s looking forward to “a decent vacation.”
AS SOMEONE WHO WAS RAISED ON EGGS FROM FREE RANGE CHICKENS (THEY WERE JUST PLAIN “CHICKENS” BACK THEN) I CAN TELL YOU THE EGGS AND THE HENS TASTE A LOT DIFFERENT THAN WHAT IS SOLD IN STORES TODAY.
THIS WOULD QUALIFY AS A STORY ABOUT GREEDY PIGS
THIS IS A WATER BUFFALO DRAPED IN CHRISTMAS WRAPPING PAPER
SOMETHING TELLS ME WE’RE GOING TO HEAR ‘ELECTED BY A MINORITY’ JUST AS MUCH AS WE HEARD ‘SELECTED, NOT ELECTED’ AFTER THE DEMOCRATS FAILED TO STEAL FLORIDA IN 2000.

In reaction to Cuban dictator Fidel Castro’s death, MSNBC’s Brian Williams said the Cuban people would rather use donkey carts as transportation than the American cars from the 1950s that are still in use.
WELCOME TO OBAMACARE, SUCKERS!!
OBAMA WILL SEND A REPRESENTATIVE TO THE FUNERAL. IT WOULDN’T SURPRISE ME IF HE WENT HIMSELF
A senior fellow at the London School for Policy Research and a frequent guest on Fox News, CNN and MSNBC discussing national security, veterans, military and economic issues, this Marine finds it “appalling” when “racist” epithets are cavalierly thrown at Trump supporters.
WHY THE HELL IS SOMEBODY BRINGING A MONTH-OLD BABY TO A PROTEST? THIS IS BALTIMORE. THERE IS A 100% CHANCE THE MOTHER IS A WELFARE QUEEN. THE CHANCES ARE ALSO HIGH SHE HAS MULTIPLE KIDS, PROBABLY ALL TODDLERS, WHOM SHE LEFT HOME ALONE. THE MEDIA WON’T EVER TELL YOU, BUT THAT’S THE WAY I’M BETTING.
The piece by Robin Givhan contrasts with the writer’s bashing of the looks of conservative women such as Carly Fiorina, who she mocked as a “style bully.”
HER ENTIRE CAMPAIGN SHE RAISED $3.1M. NOW WE’RE SUPPOSED TO BELIEVE SHE RAISED $5M? THIS IS THE CLINTONISTAS IN A BLATANT ATTEMPT AT STEALING AN ELECTION.
President Obama is over. He knows that. There are still some things that he can do before he leaves office, but everything except the most destructive, can be undone by his successor. The next phase of his campaign will not be fought from the White House. It will be fought against the White House.
“No doubt, divine providence played a huge role in this election,” she replied. “I will boldly proclaim that. I saw it first-hand. I was there on the campaign trail. I saw how things were changing. I saw more and more people’s eyes open, and I think so much of that was based on the church in general, those people of faith who were praying to God that people would wake up.”
The source said the final numbers were so close that Clinton might not have placed her call to Trump without a push.
“The researchers asked participating high school students to look at an Imgur.com photo of some mutant-looking daisies with the caption “this is what happens when flowers get nuclear birth defects.” Almost 40 percent of the high schoolers decided that the photo was powerful evidence of nuclear radiation near Japan’s Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant in spite of the fact that the photo actually contained zero evidence suggesting that the daisies were anywhere near the nuclear plant.
President-elect Donald Trump ran on removing gun-free zones from military bases. On July 9, 2015, Breitbart News reported that Trump pledged to end the gun-free scenarios for U.S. troops by “[mandating] that soldiers remain armed and on alert at our military bases.”
“CNN has always pledged to hold Trump accountable and that’s what we should be doing,” another source told the Examiner. “Since the election, CNN has out MSNBCed MSNBC,” the source said, referring to the liberal slant at CNN’s competitor. “In the long term, that’s a dangerous place to be.”
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.

Ebell is a well-known and polarizing figure in the energy and environment realm. His participation in the EPA transition signals that the Trump team is looking to drastically reshape the climate policies the agency has pursued under the Obama administration. Ebell’s role is likely to infuriate environmentalists and Democrats but buoy critics of Obama’s climate rules.
For years, the UAW has railed against NAFTA and other free trade agreements while Republicans have generally supported free trade deals. This year, Trump turned Republican politics upside down.
Throughout these many months, the Clinton team made it clear that they believed her historic candidacy had the potential to sway portions of the electorate, most especially women voters. They were counting in no small part on the support of sisterhood.
Officials in New York and Los Angeles on Thursday said they hoped President-elect Donald Trump would not follow through on a campaign promise to withhold federal funds from “sanctuary cities” that shield people who are in the country illegally.
WHAT STANDS OUT IS THAT REPUBLICANS HAVE A FAR DEEPER POOL OF TALENT TO PICK FROM BECAUSE MORE OF THEM HAVE REAL WORLD EXPERIENCE ACTUALLY WORKING JOBS BESIDES GETTING ELECTED AND RE-ELECTED.
A top campaign adviser to Hillary Clinton said the former Democratic nominee “really didn’t contemplate losing” the presidential election to her opponent Donald Trump. The unnamed adviser told People magazine on Wednesday that campaign staff were unsure of what Clinton would do next.
HOW MUCH HE CAN OR WILL ACCOMPLISH REMAINS TO BE SEEN
I POSTED THIS THIS MORNING. SOMEBODY MUST BE READING OUR LITTLE BLOG.
WE’VE BEEN WAITING DECADES FOR THE REPUBLICANS TO GROW A PAIR AND START DISHING OUT SOME OF WHAT THEY’VE HAD TO TAKE FROM SCARY HARRY AND HIS MERRY BAND OF CUTTHROATS.
HIS MOM MUST BE SO PROUD [CtH: You assume she knows how to spell it! LOL]
The Obama Department of Justice has been corruptly aiding and abetting the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee, Hillary Clinton, to escape legal accountability for her actions. From Attorney General Loretta Lynch on down through the Justice Department’s political ranks, the Department has blocked the FBI from searching for the truth and following the evidence of potential criminality to its logical conclusion.
After using that tool to stall and defeat Republican appointees for years, Democrats blew up that precedent in the name of advancing President Obama’s agenda. Now Kaine says they’ll go even further if given the chance. Voters in a handful of states featuring major Senate races will determine whether Schumer and friends get that chance.
IT WILL GIVE THE WHORES POSING AS REPORTERS SOMETHING TO WRITE ABOUT
It would seem rather inappropriate [for Attorney General Lynch] to be meeting with someone without staff if the person is not just the husband of a subject of an FBI investigation, but actually a subject (or head of a subject) under FBI investigation.
IN YOUR FACE,AMERICA… THERE’S NOTHING YOU CAN DO TO STOP US
According to a new poll released by Reuters, the FBI’s newly opened investigation into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s private, unsecured email server isn’t having an impact on her national lead over Donald Trump.
While speaking at a private fundraiser, former president Bill Clinton scoffed at working class voters for worrying about the economic impact of immigration, leaked documents reveal.
The address in question belongs to an 89 year-old woman who lives alone.
