Cops as Pigs painting coming down
This painting will now be removed permanently from the Capitol after a ruling that it violates House rules.
I think Michelle Malkin’s suggestion to relocate it to Obama’s presidential library would be fitting, given all he and his cronies have done to harm local law enforcement officers during his eight years in the White House.

Police Appreciation Week
The soon-to-be former president has never hidden his utter contempt for those who uphold the law. It is a common trait among those who see cops as an impediment to them enriching themselves through assaults and robberies and killing each other over drug-dealing territory. Round up 10 street corner denizens in the bowels of any democrat-run metropolis and chances are most or all will either have drugs, guns, or both on their person. See a cop, they try to run far enough away to jettison their contraband so as not to be caught with it. Hence the inbred hatred/fear of authority.
Congressman: Police Appreciation Lights Refused By White House
“Obama has not agreed to do so, but has displayed lights at the White House for other groups in the past, including the LGBT community,” a spokeswoman from Republican Washington Rep. Dave Reichert’s office told The Daily Caller Sunday night.
President Obama previously refused to light up the White House with blue lights in support of the fallen officers following an ambush on law enforcement in Dallas last July.
Democrats Re-Hang ‘Cops as Pigs’ Painting Day After Two Officers Killed in Line of Duty
THIS IS A SLAP IN THE FACE TO POLICE OFFICERS EVERYWHERE
A group of Congressional Democrats led by Rep. William Lacy Clay of Missouri hung the controversial painting depicting police officers as pigs back in its original place on a wall in the U.S. Capitol complex. The action comes a day after two Florida law enforcement officers died in the line of duty: one who was shot dead while trying to apprehend a murder suspect and the other killed in a traffic accident while securing a search perimeter for the suspect.
Rep. Clay Attempts To File Charges Over Removal Of Painting Depicting Cops As Pigs
Clay first heard from his office that the painting — by David Pulphus, which won his district’s high school art competition and now hangs with other high school student paintings from members’ districts across the country — was removed by Hunter on Friday and returned to Clay’s office undamaged.
“We’re less than zero percent worried about this, because, one, it’s not theft when you take something off a wall, without damaging the property, in the Capitol Building and return it to its rightful owner on behalf of a student in any way what so ever,” a Hunter spokesman told TheDC.
Duncan Hunter: Paul Ryan might have to get involved in the cops-as-pigs painting dispute
HUNTER IS A BY-GOD MARINE
Last week, Mr. Hunter had personally removed the painting, which was done by a winner of a congressional art competition held by Rep. William Lacy Clay, Missouri Democrat.
“It just blows my mind how Democrats think it’s OK to portray cops as pigs,” Mr. Hunter, California Republican, said Tuesday on “Fox & Friends.”
“Paul Ryan has the ability to make sure that no artwork that depicts cops as pigs, or that depicts congressmen as prostitutes, or depicts anybody in a poor way like this gets put up” in the Capitol, he said.
The solution is simple; have President Trump order it taken down, send the young prick who drew it a hundred bucks for payment, then burn it.

Of the 62 members who are new to Congress this session, nearly half are Protestant and about a third are Catholic.
- The half Protestant matches the national makeup, where 51.3% identify as Protestant Christian.
- But the third Catholic is a good deal higher than the national makeup, where 20.8% identify as Catholic Christian.

Cabin Fever Settling In
Surfing the interwebs yesterday I came across a site that had Wisconsin fishing guides listed. There were several quite close to where I live who guide on the many lakes and rivers of Southeast Wisconsin. I’m considering several trips with RJ and my longtime fishing buddy. He has a boat, but the idea is to have a guide take you on a body of water you’re not familiar with, then you can go back on your own and have an idea where some good spots are. Lake Delavan is over 2,000 acres and Lake Geneva is over 5,000. That’s a lot of water to cover when you only have a short time. I contacted one guide through his Facebook page who is a Marine veteran and is also an EMT and has two other men who guide with him. He started fishing with his grandfather so he understands why I want to make some memories with RJ that he can share with his sons when I’m gone. It will only be about 4 agonizing months before ice out up North. I guess I’ll just have to wait until then.
Parting Regrets from the Loser’s Presidency
MY FRIEND WILLIE INSISTED OBAMA GOT WHERE HE IS COMPLETELY THROUGH HIS OWN HARD WORK. AFFIRMATIVE ACTION HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. IT’S CALLED POLITICAL IDOLATRY.
It is not certain that Barack Obama is the first president with African progenitors on adjacent branches of the ancestral tree. It is absolutely certain that he is the first president in American history who shot to the presidency on the rocket of race-based preferentialism. Mr. Obama became commander-in-chief without ever evidencing knowledge or even respect for the U.S. military because throughout his education and career, he enjoyed astronomical preferences above his peers, even above more qualified competitors, due not to his achievements, but to his bronzish mug. He in turn chose his wife and his attorneys general from his cohort beneficiaries of the peculiar institutions of affirmative action, the racialist hypersensitivity and preferencing that arose in the 1960s.
Clinton Lackey David Brock Caught ‘Money Laundering’
David Brock is everything normal people hate about politics. He’s a shady, shameless shill for Hillary Clinton who has made a fortune in the “political operative” industry by doing political operative-y things that contribute nothing of value to society. He’s also (allegedly) a paranoid coke fiend who travels with an armed security detail because he’s afraid snipers are going to get him.
Powerful labor union plans massive budget cuts in wake of Donald Trump victory
According to Henry, the cuts are a direct result of Mr. Trump’s victory over Democrat Hillary Clinton in November’s election, along with the GOP’s continued control of Congress. With Mr. Trump and his Senate Republican allies poised to nominate dozens of judges, including a new Supreme Court justice, the SEIU fears its ability to collect dues from members will soon be significantly curtailed.
[CtH: Excellent news! The SEIU has been forcing workers to cough up dues that they use to promote Democrat politicians, despite workers who are opposed to said politicians.]
Planned Parenthood Rakes In Donations From More Than 300K People Since Trump Elected
One man wrote a check for $10,000 to an organization that helps women get elected to office, saying he was “embarrassed” that Donald Trump won the presidential election.
Someone else walked into the office of an organization advocating for immigrant rights and handed over a bag of cash he had just collected from members of his local community civics group.
[CtH: I remember hearing that pro-life organizations experienced similar surges in giving following the election of Clinton and Obama.]

Shattuck: Ego-driven fantasy another bogey for Obama
We’ve had eight years of “fake news” distorting the culture so much that overt, critical speech about this president became a dangerous and daunting prospect to everyday Americans. So they voted against him and his programs in a more roundabout fashion.
They are afraid to tamper with the legacy of the man himself but are more than comfortable chucking everything he stands for into the political dumpster.

Obama Selling Out Israel
Congress Moves To Cut U.S. Funding To United Nations In Wake Of Anti-Israel Vote
Lame duck Obama has deliberately created a diplomatic crisis with our close ally, Israel, just weeks before he’s shown the door. Hopefully, these disgraceful acts will result in the end of the ‘2 State Peace Process’ and a defunding of the U.N.
Obama’s Racist Attacks Against White Working Class Caused Historic Democrat Party Collapse
Obama also blamed Rush Limbaugh, Fox News, and the NRA for distracting the country from his message of “hope and change”, particularly during the holiday season. Obama defended the robbers and hosted Black Lives Matter in the White House.
Obama will be missed when he leaves the White House…by the criminals and thugs.
For the rest of America – January 20th cannot get here soon enough.
The entertainment elite’s inaugural boycott will backfire — again
Kid Rock is currently the biggest name scheduled to appear.
And liberals are giddy. Because they still don’t get it.
As liberals continue to draw cultural lines that leave conservatives out, they have to notice that it’s translating to ballot-box losses. Republicans don’t just control the presidency, the House, and the Senate, but nearly two-thirds of statehouses and a majority of governorships.
The all-encompassing liberalism in popular culture might not be hurting the performers’ financial bottom lines (so far), but it’s certainly not doing anything to help their political causes, either. As we learned this election, we ignore whole segments of the population at our peril.
THESE ARE TWO OF THE LAKES WE PLAN TO FISH COME SPRING

Two Faced Obama
Technically, the gas and oil ban is not an executive order, because a little-known provision in the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act of 1953 says the president “may, from time to time, withdraw” federal waters that are not already leased from oil and gas development.
Mmmmmmmmm … call me crazy, but I don’t think indefinitely removing millions of acres of federal waters from oil and gas development quite fits the spirit of “from time to time.”
But that’s Obama all over. Although he has not issued as many executive orders as former Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, he has used them to do a lot more “ruling from the throne” with his famous pen.
He explained why in the same interview where he said Trump should go to the trouble to pass legislation. See, HE only switched from getting bills passed to ruling by fiat because the stupid old voters went and stole his congressional majorities.
“In my first two years I wasn’t relying on executive powers because I had big majorities in the Congress and we were able to get bills done, get bills passed,” Obama said.
One of Obama’s sweeping, non-legislative, “I’ve got a pen” executive orders would have allowed millions of illegal immigrants to be shielded from deportations and apply for work authorization programs. The Supreme Court blocked it earlier this year.
Trump has said his use of executive orders will “serve a much better purpose” than what Obama’s done.

Let’s Get the Starty Parted
Or whatever.
In the left’s latest flight of fantasy, they’ve turned their attention from the failed recount gambit to blaming the Russians for hacking the DNC to help Trump win. Anything to de-legitimize his presidency. This time it’s their turn to piss and moan (my mom’s nicknames for me and my sister, BTW) about every move The Donald makes, from his brand of deodorant to how much it costs NYC for security. John Kennedy (no,not THAT one) won the runoff for David Vitter’s seat in Louisiana, so the GOP picks up the final Senate seat. Which is a good thing, since McStain and Grahamnesty are already conspiring with the ‘rats to cause as much trouble as possible for the new commander-in-chief.
Delegitimizing Trump
What’s really behind the recounts and petitions
The left doesn’t begin with policy critiques of Republican presidential candidates. Instead it accuses them of being temperamentally unfit for the office and illegitimately elected. The anti-Trump playbook is just the anti-Bush playbook with a little dust on the cover and a few more page creases. Bush was a cowboy who stole the election. Trump is erratic and stole the election. The rest is just elaboration.

Bolton suggests DNC hack was Obama administration ‘false flag’
Bolton questioned why the Russians would leave clues that show the country was trying undermine Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, but no evidence as to whether they had hacked her private email server.
“Why did the Russians run their smart intelligence services against Hillary’s sever and run their dumb intelligence severs to leave clues on the RNC and DNC?” he asked.

So Many Topics, So Little Space
CHECK OUT WHAT THEY WROTE:
This is the 90th time we have named the person who had the greatest influence, for better or worse, on the events of the year. So which is it this year: Better or worse? The challenge for Donald Trump is how profoundly the country disagrees about the answer.
It’s hard to measure the scale of his disruption. This real estate baron and casino owner turned reality-TV star and provocateur—never a day spent in public office, never a debt owed to any interest besides his own—now surveys the smoking ruin of a vast political edifice that once housed parties, pundits, donors, pollsters, all those who did not see him coming or take him seriously. Out of this reckoning, Trump is poised to preside, for better or worse.
House passes sweeping legislation to aid veterans
IT’S ABOUT DAMN TIME
“More veterans, including many at risk of homelessness, will receive the care and benefits they need and deserve,” he continued. “VA hospitals will have better management of mental health counselors and emergency room doctors. Veterans’ families will be helped by extending critical education benefits to surviving members. Work will finally begin to help descendants of veterans exposed to toxic substances.”
The bill, which now moves to the Senate floor, was part of Congress’s response to scandals within the Veterans Affairs Department that saw soldiers waiting so long for doctor appointments that some died. Some VA health clinics were over-prescribing opioids, and the VA had a massive backlog of claims benefits.

Bikers for Trump secure space for inauguration amid several planned protests
THERE WILL BE THOUSANDS OF GROWNUPS TO KEEP THE ADOLESCENTS IN LINE
Groups planning to protest President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration next month monopolized the National Park Service permits to use public spaces around Washington during the event — until Bikers for Trump showed up.
Bikers for Trump founder Chris Cox said he had to negotiate with National Park Service officials to find space for the motorcyclists because anti-Trump groups had scooped up nearly every location for their “disruption” events surrounding the Jan. 20 inauguration.
Securing a designated area for the thousands of bikers expected to roll into Washington to watch Mr. Trump take the oath of office is crucial to avoiding clashes between the two sides, he said.
“We’ve already won. There’s no reason for these guys to be going shoulder to shoulder against the Black Lives Matter and the rest of the [protesting] guys,” Mr. Cox said. “This is a victory tour.”
The bikers are accustomed to being outnumbered and face-to-face with protesters, having often set themselves up as buffers between demonstrators and supporters at Trump rallies.
GOP Readies Cuts to Federal Workforce Under Trump Reductions part of long-sought civil service overhaul
One major plan is being readied by Rep. Jason Chaffetz, the chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. The Utah Republican calls it “high on our agenda.” While details remain sketchy, it would likely mean big changes to the generous retirement benefits given federal workers, mainly by looking to shift new employees from a defined benefit into a market-based 401(k).
He is also interested in making it easier to fire workers who perform badly and wants to reduce the federal civilian workforce, which currently numbers 2.1 million employees, not including U.S. Postal Service employees.
Georgetown Installs Work of Art Honoring Hillary Clinton as ‘Beacon of Dignity and Guiding Light’
Tax-funded installations help residents ‘move forward’ after Clinton defeat
OH GOOD LORD
The artwork, titled “Red, White, and Hillary Blue Diamonds,” consists of five aluminum frames illuminated by LED lights. The diamond-shaped structures are installed in three locations, where they serve “as gateways into Georgetown.”
The installations are “dedicated to former Senator Hillary Clinton, who is the beacon of dignity and guiding light, as a thank you for her strength as we move forward,” according to a placard next to the art.
For GOP lawmakers, an attempt at harmony — and a potential collision course with Trump
When Trump talks protectionist tariffs, Hill Republicans discuss “comprehensive tax reform.” When Trump says he will build a border wall, GOP lawmakers refer to “securing the border,” perhaps without a physical barrier. When Trump talks about getting tough with China, lawmakers play down any major policy shift.
Kerry ‘fesses up about Obama’s ‘red line’
THESE TWO ASSCLOWNS WOULD F*CK UP A ONE-CAR FUNERAL
Secretary of State John Kerry told a painful truth on Sunday, admitting that President Obama’s “red line” fiasco in Syria “cost us significantly” by leading other nations to see America as weak.
UH, LURCH, THEY ALREADY KNEW YOU WERE WEAK
Kerry on Sunday fell back on two excuses. First he argued that it was a “misperception” that Washington had been weak, since Assad did give up (many of) his chems. But even he had to admit that “it doesn’t matter. It cost. Perception can often just be the reality.”
He also faulted Congress for not immediately OK’ing the use of force once the president asked — without noting that Obama, in the year after he drew the red line, never laid a bit of groundwork with Congress (or with America’s allies) for enforcing it.
If you issue a threat, then don’t even prepare to make good on it, all you’ve really made is … an empty bluff.
Uh Oh: Half Of Detroit’s Ballots Might Be Disqualified Due To Errors

Michigan’s largest county voted overwhelmingly for Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton, but officials couldn’t reconcile vote totals for 610 of 1,680 precincts during a countywide canvass of vote results late last month.
Most of those are in heavily Democratic Detroit, where the number of ballots in precinct poll books did not match those of voting machine printout reports in 59 percent of precincts, 392 of 662.

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.]

“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.

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.

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.

Dem lawmaker says Sessions would drag the country back to dark times
TRUMP MUST BE DOING A GOOD JOB… ALL THE DEMOCRATS ARE PISSED OFF
In a blistering statement about a fellow lawmaker, Illinois Rep. Luis Gutierrez seemed to use the Republican’s full name — Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III — in an attempt to invoke Confederacy imagery.
“If you have nostalgia for the days when blacks kept quiet, gays were in the closet, immigrants were invisible and women stayed in the kitchen, Sen. Jefferson Beauregard Sessions is your man,” Gutierrez said.
Howard Dean Compares Trump Election to Kent State Shootings, Selma AL’s ‘Bloody Sunday’
THE LEADERSHIP OF THE DNC COMES DOWN TO EITHER A SCREAMING LUNATIC OR A JEW-HATING MUSLIM. SOME CHOICE.
Wednesday on SiriusXM radio’s Urban View channel with host Joe Madison, former Vermont Governor and DNC Chair Howard Dean compared the outrage of young protestors over President-elect Donald Trump’s victory to the Kent State shootings in 1970 when the Ohio National Guard killed four students or the Edmund Pettus Bridge, which was the site of Bloody Sunday in 1965, when policemen beat civil rights demonstrators.

The House bill, was vetoed by President Barack Obama

Obama Tears Up Drilling Permits to Stop Gigantic Energy Boom in Colorado
PRETTY SURE INTERIOR SECRETARY PALIN CAN FIX THAT
Jewell’s Bureau of Land Management claimed that the 25 “Mancos” energy drilling leases now being cancelled were just a non-performing portion of 65 leases on “lands managed by the White River National Forest” and “amount to less than ½ of 1 percent of the active leases on public lands in the state of Colorado.”
But the 25 properties were “non-performing” only because they have been tangled in red-tape since President Barack Obama took office in 2009, even though they were leased in 2005 during George W. Bush’s administration.
The BLM manages nearly 700 million acres of federal lands in the United States. Because of tight restrictions, the “onshore” oil and gas wells on BLM lands accounts for just 11 percent of the natural gas supply and five percent of the oil supply in the United States.

Imagine making the world’s largest oil exporter sweat it out That’s exactly what Donald Trump is doing.

Around 31% of all U.S. oil imports are from OPEC members, while Canadian oil imports have a 41% share.
