OBAMA: I Colluded With the U.N. to Trash Israel Because I'm Still President For a Few Days

By Sara Noble

The Hill is reporting that the White House’s decision to break with decades of U.S. policy and allow the U.N. Security Council to condemn Israeli settlements is the culmination of years of bad blood between President Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Obama’s team decided it was worth the condemnation they might get.

There were several reasons he did it but among them is Obama’s ego. He was angry that Trump brokered a deal on the resolution the day before.

QOTD: "Barack Obama isn’t known for humility, though rarely has his lack of grace been more on display than in his final hours in office. The nation rejected his agenda. The president’s response? To shove more of that agenda down the nation’s gullet....

...Since the election Mr. Obama has broken with all precedent by issuing rules that would be astonishing at any moment and are downright obnoxious at this point. This past week we learned of several sweeping new rules from the Interior Department and the Environmental Protection Agency, including regs on methane on public lands (cost: $2.4 billion); a new anti-coal rule related to streams ($1.2 billion) and renewable fuel standards ($1.5 billion).

This follows Mr. Obama’s extraordinary announcement that he will invoke a dusty old law to place nearly all of the Arctic Ocean, and much of the Atlantic Ocean, off limits to oil or gas drilling. This follows his highly politicized move to shut down the Dakota Access pipeline in North Dakota. And it comes amid reports the administration is rushing to implement last-minute rules on commodities speculation, immigrant workers and for-profit colleges—among others." --Kimberley A. Strassel

TED CRUZ: U.N. Will Get Bupkis Until it Reverses its Latest Pro-Terror Resolution

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) took the United Nations to the verbal woodshed this evening. He promised to defund the pro-terror world body that is dominated by despots, dictators and degenerates.


I don't believe Barack Obama is a Muslim, but Ed Straker notes that the outgoing President appears to be doing everything in his power to convince us he's an Islamist.

And perhaps we should eject the U.N. from our country, just like it wants to eject all Jews from the Middle East.

For those interested in the truth, I created an illustrated story about Israel called "What Really Happened". It's well worth checking out, if I do say so myself.
 

GRANDMA GOT RUN OVER BY OBAMA: Social Security Finalizes New Gun Prohibition Rule

By Institute for Legislative Action

On Monday, Barack Obama’s Social Security Administration (SSA) issued the final version of a rule that will doom tens of thousands of law-abiding (and vulnerable) disability insurance and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipients to a loss of Second Amendment rights under the guise of re-characterizing them as “mental defectives.” The SSA, for the first time in its history, will be coopted into the federal government’s gun control apparatus, effectively requiring Social Security applicants to weigh their need for benefits against their fundamental rights when applying for assistance based on mental health problems.

CONGRESS: We Will Defund You United Nations Pukes Over Your Anti-Israel, Pro-Terror Vote

By Joel B. Pollak

Ambassador Samantha Power, who represents the United States at the UN Security Council, sat mum on Friday when the chair called for votes against an anti-Israel resolution declaring Israeli settlements illegal. But she raised her hand high when the chair called for abstentions.

She, and her boss, President Barack Obama, could have voted no, in keeping with precedent, and in deference to the incoming administration of President-elect Donald J. Trump. Instead, they let the resolution pass.

In anticipation of Obama’s suspected — now confirmed — abstention, members of Congress threatened to de-fund the UN. The U.S. accounts for some 22% of the UN’s budget, supporting a large, comfortable bureaucracy and its various programs.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) issued a statement, warning:

TRUMP: The Exorcist of Political Correctness

By Cliff Kincaid

It is refreshing to see President-elect Trump on his “Thank You” tour speaking from a podium that proclaims “Merry Christmas.” The Trump victory was a revolt against Cultural Marxism, also known as political correctness. In that world, Merry Christmas is watered down into “Happy Holidays.”

In fact, says one strategic analyst, “Trump won because he got on his side a big segment of the population that has been under furious and brutal attack for more than 50 years by the political correctness of Cultural Marxism. This cultural and sociological attack from Cultural Marxists was extremely intense and conducted at full high speed for the last eight years of the Obama regime with its grand social engineering and cultural remake of the country.”

UNDERMINING DEMOCRACY: Hillary Clinton's Secret Campaign to Intimidate Electors

by Phillip Stucky

Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton’s staff supported the “Hamilton Electors” and their potential coup behind the scenes, the same group that voted against her in the Electoral College, according to a Thursday report from Politico.

Clinton staffers Jennifer Palmieri and Jake Sullivan never officially endorsed the movement, but email records obtained by Politico show that the aides discussed strategy with the electors by email, text, and phone conversations weeks in advance of the Dec. 19 vote of the Electoral College nationwide.

Even though the Clinton camp was willing to discuss strategy, some of the electors think the effort could have been more successful if they were willing to help publicly.

QOTD: "...low levels of legal immigration are probably a good thing. The people willing to go through all the steps it takes to migrate legally are going to be people who scrupulously observe the law. They are not coming here just to screw it all up for everyone including themselves. Recent legal immigrants tend to be hyper-patriotic for that reason. They take nothing for granted because they had to earn their citizenship. Their presence is a healthy reminder that citizenship has value.

That’s ultimately the truth about the open borders crowd. They place no value on citizenship. That’s because they put no value on people. To the open borders enthusiasts, humans are just undifferentiated raw material, inputs they can manipulate. Whether the material comes from home or abroad is irrelevant because everything normal people associate with being human is of no concern to the managerial types. They see people the way normal people look at furniture." --The Z Man

IN HIS FINAL DAYS: Obama Poised to Take Another Potshot at Israel

By Anne Bayefsky

U.S. companies are in for a shock as President Obama takes aim once again at Israel in the final month of his presidency. In the coming days, he is expected to direct his team at the United Nations to vote for U.S. funding of "BDS," the boycott, divestment and sanctions campaign aimed at financially ruining Israel and smearing the companies with which it does business.

The vote concerns the U.N. budget that is currently being negotiated and scheduled to be finalized this week. One of the line items provides funding for the implementation of a Human Rights Council resolution adopted in March. The resolution calls for the creation of a blacklist of companies around the world doing any business, directly or indirectly, connected to Israeli settlements. In effect, it launches a U.N.-sponsored BDS movement. Since the General Assembly holds the purse strings for the Human Rights Council's operations, the time has come to allocate the money to pay for it.

"Without firing a bullet, the Chinese have now conquered multiple nations and taken over international waters"

By Mark Levin

Well, ladies and gentleman, China has stolen one of our drone boats, a scientific boat, with lots of technology on it, in international waters off the Philippines. As our Navy was trying to pull in the boat, the Chinese stole it.

As the Chinese have militarized their fake islands, which they’ve put throughout the South China Sea, in violation of international law, as the Chinese continue to threaten the navigable waters off of Japan in the East China Sea, as China continues to hack into our databases – along with Russia – this is serious business.

JIM QUINN WARNS: Obama and the Democrats Have Strapped a Fiscal Suicide Belt to the Entire Country

Writing at The Burning Platform, econ blogger Jim Quinn offers a comprehensive summary of the fiscal time bomb that Barack Obama and the Democrat Party have bequeathed to this and future generations. Read the whole thing, but here are some nuggets to raise your blood pressure a couple of dozen points.

Quinn covers, among other things, what real inflation looks like:
The Fed narrative of no inflation, supported by the sliced, diced, manipulated, massaged, hedonically and seasonally adjusted drivel produced by the government drones at the BLS, has benefited from the almost two year decline in gas and oil prices. That is now reversing itself, as gasoline prices have risen at an annualized rate of 20% over the last three months. It is poised to rise by 30% to 40% year over year in the next few months. Even the Deep State government bureaucrats are having trouble disguising raging inflation in expenses affecting average Americans on a daily basis.
How about the real housing situation?

HERE IT IS: The Full FBI Search Warrant of Huma Abedin's Weinerputer

Bear with me: it's in PDF format and partially redacted. But it's still very interesting reading.

investigators contended that there was probable cause to believe that the Abedin/Weiner laptop contained “evidence, contraband, fruits and/or other items illegally possessed” in violation of criminal statutes dealing with the handling of sensitive “national defense” material.

Noting that the Dell laptop contained thousands of Abdein e-mails, the FBI concluded that the cache included correspondence exchanged by Abedin and Clinton and that there was probable cause to believe that those e-mails contained “classified information which was produced by and is owned by the U.S. Government.” The laptop, the FBI added, “was never authorized for the storage or transmission of classified or national defense information.”

A “complete forensic analysis” of the Dell computer, the FBI affidavit stated, would allow federal agents to “determine if classified information was accessed by unauthorized users or transferred to any unauthorized systems.”
You can read the entire search warrant here.

UNEXPECTEDLY: Christmas terror attacks once seen only in Muslim countries now spread to Europe

By Daniel Greenfield

On the 5th of December, a 12-year-old Iraqi boy planted a nail bomb in a Christmas market in Ludwigshafen. The Muslim boy left the nail bomb in a marketplace filled with jolly plastic Santas bearing knapsacks of presents and booths full of chocolates built like cottages covered with twinkling lights. Inside was his Christmas present to the little boys and girls of this German city, a glass jar filled with powder and surrounded by nails. Islamic terror had come like a bitterly cold wind from Iraq to Ludwigshafen.

The aspiring Muslim serial killer has already become known as the “Kindergarten bomber.”

OBAMA AND ELLISON: Separated At Birth

By Cliff Kincaid

“Barack Obama is Louis Farrakhan and Karl Marx rolled into one.” Those were the words of businessman Zubi Diamond at a conference I sponsored back in 2011. That clever line might also apply to Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN), a candidate for chairman of the Democratic National Committee (DNC). Obama and Ellison seem to be brothers in both ideology and approach. The combination of Black Muslim ideology and Marxism is something that courses through the veins of Obama and Ellison. So why is Obama opposing the Ellison bid?

The answer is that Obama is smarter than Ellison. Obama has watched his words more carefully, and concealed his ideological predisposition when he ran for president, while Ellison is out of the closet about it. He not only has links to the Black Muslims of Louis Farrakhan, but he defended a member of the Weather Underground spin-off, the Symbionese Liberation Army. Plus, he’s an outspoken critic of the state of Israel.

QOTD: "[Scott] Pruitt’s is the most important nomination because it is a direct attack on the insidious growth of the administrative state. We have reached the point where EPA bureaucrats interpret the Waters of the United States rule — meant to protect American waterways — to mean that when a hard rain leaves behind a pond on your property, the feds may take over and tell you what you can and cannot do with it. (The final rule excluded puddles — magnanimity from the Leviathan.)

On a larger scale, Obama’s Clean Power Plan essentially federalizes power generation and regulation, not coincidentally killing coal along the way. This is the administration’s end run around Congress’ rejection of Obama’s proposed 2009-2010 cap-and-trade legislation. And that was a Democratic Congress, mind you.

Pruitt’s nomination is a dramatic test of the proposition that agencies administer the law, they don’t create it. That the legislative power resides exclusively with Congress and not with a metastasizing administrative bureaucracy... For some, this reassertion of basic constitutionalism seems extreme. If so, the Obama administration has only itself to blame. Such are the wages of eight years of liberal overreach." --Charles Krauthammer

THE OBAMA LEGACY: Best Post-Election Graphic Yet

Philip Bump at The Washington Post accurately captions it "The decimation of the Democratic Party, visualized."

As Dave Blount observes, "In 2008, the Democrat Party abandoned the last vestiges of moderation and threw itself behind the very personification of moonbattery, Barack Hussein Obama."

While Democrats have thus far blamed James Comey, Julian Assange, Russian hackers, Fake News, and (presumably) George W. Bush for their crushing losses, there's a much simpler explanation.

They nominated a thoroughly unlikeable, villainous harridan who pushed the party even further to the left thanks to the honorary President of Venezuela, Bernie Sanders, and President "I've Got a Pen and a Phone" Davis.

And while Democrats point to a popular vote victory for Hillary Clinton, that notion is also bogus:
