QOTD: "Obama advanced an agenda to the left of that shared by most past presidents. Obamacare, the Benghazi catastrophe, the Iran deal, his strange stance toward radical Islam, and the Bergdahl swap were unpopular measures that required politically-driven recalibrations to escape American scrutiny.

Second, Obama’s team believes that the goals of fairness and egalitarianism more than justify the means of dissimulation by more sophisticated elites. Thus Gruber (“the stupidity of the American voter”) and Rhodes (“They literally know nothing”) employ deception on our behalf. Central to this worldview is that the American people are naive and easily manipulated, and thus need to be brought up to speed by a paternal administration that knows what is best for its vulnerable and clueless citizenry.

Such condescension is also why the administration never believes it has done anything wrong by hiding the facts of these controversies. Its players believe that because they did it all for us, the ensuing distasteful means will be forgotten once we finally progress enough to appreciate their enlightened ends." --Victor Davis Hanson

PEAK PC INSANITY: The American Indian Word for Woman Now Deemed "Offensive"

You may remember the term "squaw".

It's the Narragansett (American Indian) word for "woman" dating back to at least the 17th century. Algonquian dialects also employed the word.

But now, your PC betters have deemed the term Offensive.

Papa B alerts us to a game alert he received in the popular social word game Words With Friends:

QOTD: "CIA intelligence reporting stating that the Russian government hacked the presidential election in order to elect Donald Trump is false. It is merely a political attack against Donald Trump with the goal of delegitimizing his presidency.

The depth and quality of the CIA reporting are too good to be true. A December 16 NBC report states, for example: “Putin personally directed how hacked material from Democrats was leaked and otherwise used.” Everyone knows that a great deal of hacking comes out of Russia. But evidence of hacking does not lead to the conclusion that there was a Russian government conspiracy to get Mr. Trump elected.

Such a conclusion would require access to Putin’s inner circle and knowledge of Putin’s plans and intentions. Any spy that close to Putin would be one of the best intelligence sources of all time.

If such a source existed, he doesn’t exist any more. The leaked reporting would have put him in grave danger, and he would already have been imprisoned or executed." --Ex-CIA Case Officer "Ishmael Jones"

NOT ENOUGH SPEECHES: White House Finally Addresses Record-Setting Democrat Losses During Obama Era

The White House has finally deigned to explain the Democrats' sweeping losses at all levels of government during the Obama years.

Oh, it's not their policies. The part-time economy, the rise of ISIS, the Obamacare debacle, the Syrian refugee crisis, no, none of that had anything to do with it.

It's the Democrats' failure to "make the argument".

QOTD: "Obama has been frequently described as a “professor of constitutional law,” but he has never shown a single sign of appreciation, care or even understanding of the US Constitution. For Obama, the US Constitution is just an obstacle to be circumvented or simply ignored. A few weeks ago he told us that the Electoral College is “outdated” apparently because the American States are now largely under the thumb of the Feds. The Electoral College was originally designed to give States a voice in the election of the Chief Executive of the nation...

...No other president in US history, not even FDR with his four elections, nor Wilson in WWI, nor Lincoln in the Civil War, has shown such utter contempt for the most successful long-term electoral government in human history. Obama has never bothered to hide his contempt for the Constitution.

In all those ways he came as a stranger to our most revered political values, and he is leaving exactly the same way.

He has learned nothing." --James Lewis

LEVIN: Chicago hate crime a microcosm of ‘collapsing of civil society’ under President Community Organizer

By Chris Pandolfo

Thursday evening on "The Mark Levin Show," Conservative Review's editor in chief addressed the “absolute, horrific inhumanity” of the racist torture attack on a developmentally disabled man in Chicago, stating it is but the latest example of the "collapsing of the civil society" in Chicago and other communities under Democratic policies.

QOTD: "There is a budding enthusiasm in flyover America these days.

Its foundation is a growing belief that America's economic might will soon be rekindled by a businessman-president. The initial macroeconomic signs are promising. Consumer confidence is up. And a Trump-inspired Wall Street rally has the Dow at record heights.

The construction of the Trump Cabinet has been another breath of fresh air. This group is heavy on relevant experience, private sector success, and conservative values. It is also quite wealthy. Accordingly, mainstream media coverage has been generally hostile. No surprise there. Its agenda of high taxes, high regulation, high pre-emption, high political correctness, and getting high (marijuana legalization) is now on ice. These disconsolate pundits understand their time in the wilderness has arrived.

Yet, President Obama's final days have served to remind those of us who have been walking around with a smile for the last two months that he remains the contemptuous ultra-left progressive we have so adamantly opposed over the past eight years." --Robert Ehrlich

Obama Administration Poised to Unleash One Final Strike on Israel

By P. David Hornik

A week and a half ago President Obama gave the order for the U.S. to abstain on UN Security Council Resolution 2334, thereby—effectively—voting in favor and allowing the resolution to pass.

As I noted, the resolution goes beyond “moral equivalency” by obfuscating Palestinian terror and incitement while branding Jewish life beyond the 1949 Armistice Lines a “flagrant violation under international law” and a “major obstacle…to peace.”

But the administration wasn’t through with Israel.

VOXSPLODER EZRA KLEIN: Trump Adviser Makes Obamacare Harder to Repeal or Something

One of Trump’s top advisers just made repealing Obamacare much, much harder.

SHOCKER, OBAMA WRONG AGAIN: Poll Shows Trump Crushing Lame-Duck President Head-to-Head

By Phillip Stucky

President-elect Donald Trump beat President Barack Obama in a head-to-head poll published Wednesday by Morning Consult.

The poll asked the question: “Who would win between Trump and Obama?” and was released shortly after Obama expressed confidence that he would win in a race against Trump instead of Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.

REVERSE THE CURSE: 10 Ways President Trump Can Obliterate the Obama Agenda

By Michael Snyder

When Barack Obama betrayed Israel at the United Nations, that put a curse on our nation. But that doesn’t mean that we have to stay cursed. In the coming days, the new Trump administration should immediately start taking steps to reverse the curse that we are under as a result of what Obama has done. Perhaps if Donald Trump takes strong enough steps to try to undo what Obama has done, instead of being cursed we can once again return to being blessed.

One thing that Trump will not be able to undo is UN Security Council Resolution 2334. It would take another UN Security Council resolution to undo it, and the votes simply wouldn’t be there. UN Security Council Resolution 2334 passed by a vote of 14 to zero with the U.S. abstaining. And even if Trump could miraculously pull together enough votes, one of the other permanent members of the Security Council (Russia, China, the UK or France) could just veto it.

So it looks like we are stuck with UN Security Council Resolution 2334, but that doesn’t mean that Trump can’t do anything to try to address this matter.

HEY, NEW YORKER: I Fixed That Cartoon For You (Three Times)

The Internet is afire with yet another example of just how out of touch the coastal elite are with America.

A New Yorker cartoon by someone called "Will McPhail", if that is his real name. depicts a passenger in an airplane standing up to announce that the current pilots are too smug and that passengers should instead take over.
It is a not very subtle hit at Trump’s victory, a victory viewed by the cartoonist and 99.99% of New Yorker readers as a victory of all those people who live on the other side of the Hudson, the people who are too stupid to run the country and live in Nowheresville.

Because running the country is just like flying a plane, apparently. And the experts who have run it so far are the only ones who can do it competently...

QOTD: "The Obama administration is spending its waning days in the White House antagonizing its closest Middle East ally. First, there was the U.S.'s recent decision to forego vetoing a U.N. resolution that disclaims Israel's rights to the territory it won in the 1967 war, including Judaism's holiest site. Then, there was John Kerry's speech denouncing Israel's settlement activity.

It's difficult to read these decisions as anything but an expression of spite.

Syria is on fire. Iraq is on fire. Yemen is on fire. Iran is brazenly flouting its nuclear deal. Russia, a geopolitical antagonist, has emerged as a major power-broker in the region. It is making friends with Turkey, formally a U.S. ally but one that is drifting every day. Sunni Gulf states are, as always under the Obama administration, incandescent. And he wants to pick a fight over Israeli settlements? Really?" --Pascal-Emmanuel Gobry

Diplomatic Terrorism at the U.N.

The vicious condemnation of Israel at the UN Security Council on December 23, 2016 is a watershed moment in U.S.-UN relations – albeit not as President Obama hoped.
