New technology better than fracking could vastly expand oil reserves

Hydraulic fracturing, aka fracking, has revolutionized energy production in the United States and cornered OPEC.  That cartel is currently attempting to restrict oil production and raise prices, but it faces the reality that American frackers can rapidly expand output.  It’s a nightmare if you are a corrupt petro-dictator of any stripe, communist to jihadist.
Now the never-ending quest for new technologies has yielded a potentially revolutionary replacement or substitute for fracking: microwaving shale to extract oil and gas.  James Watkins reports in Ozy.com:

As strange as it sounds, producers are experimenting with ways to zap previously unextractable oil resources with microwaves, which has the potential to kick-start an even bigger energy revolution than fracking — and appease environmentalists while they’re at it. This is potentially “a whole shift in the paradigm,” says Peter Kearl, co-founder and CTO of Qmast, a Colorado-based company pioneering the use of the microwave tech. Some marquee names are betting on the play: Oil giants BP and ConocoPhillips are pouring resources into developing similar extraction techniques, which can be far less water- and energy-intensive than fracking.

With The Democrats In Ruins, You Have To Ask Whether Obama Was Good For The Party

Even The Huffington Post cannot let the down-ballot gutting of the Democrats go unnoticed. Senior politics editor Sam Stein was on MSNBC’s Morning Joe Wednesday, where he said that while Obama was re-elected twice proving himself to be an excellent candidate—his party has suffered catastrophic losses during his presidency. In all, the Democrats have lost 1,030 seats at the state and federal level, a wipeout of at least a generation of Democratic talent. Stein added that with such a political butcher’s bill, you have to ask whether this man was good for Democrats (via The Hill):
You look at the destruction of the Democratic Party under Barack Obama’s leadership and you have to wonder, what was the political — what were the electoral benefits that he gave to the party?” Stein asked on MSNBC's “Morning Joe” on Wednesday.
“He leaves them in a much worse position,” Stein continued. “The states are decimated, they lost control of the House and Senate, the governorships are decimated.”

Year End Bang on Clinton Email Obama’s Travel Cost $96 Million Over Eight Years Islamic Terrorists Raise Cash in Latin America to Attack U.S. Happy New Year!

Year End Bang on Clinton Email
In 2016, Judicial Watch established itself it as the most significant public policy entity in the nation.  Our work in the courts exposing the truth about the Clinton emails and the corruption of the Clinton pay-to-play scandals changed history.
So it is fitting that in this, the year’s final Weekly Update, I have a report for you on a new major court decision that could dramatically influence what comes next on the Clinton email scandal.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit made a ruling this week in a JW case that would require Secretary of State John Kerry to seek the help of the attorney general in recovering additional Hillary Clinton emails.  This means that Clinton email issue will be squarely before the Trump administration, as I highlight in our statement to the press:

Today’s appeals court ruling rejects the Obama State Department’s excuses justifying its failure to ask the attorney general, as the law requires, to pursue the recovery of the Clinton emails.  This ruling means that the Trump Justice Department will have to decide if it wants to finally enforce the rule of law and try to retrieve all the emails Clinton and her aides unlawfully took with them when they left the State Department.

The appellate ruling reverses a decision in which the District Court declared “moot” a Judicial Watch’s lawsuit challenging the failure of Secretary of State John Kerry to comply with the Federal Records Act (FRA) in seeking to recover the emails of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and other high level State Department officials who used non-“state.gov” email accounts to conduct official business (Judicial Watch, Inc. v. John F. Kerry (No. 16-5015)).

Obama’s petty attempts to sabotage Trump are bound to fail

It’s easy to come up with several different reasons for the Obama administration’s moves against Russia and Israel.
The repudiation of his policies in last month’s election would have wounded a normal person’s ego, to say nothing of someone as vain as Obama. To rub it in, the press has left the setting to follow the rising sun, reporting so much about Trump that Obama had seemed quite forgotten.
The extraordinary burst of diplomatic activity over the last week, so unusual for a departing president, might therefore seem a piece of Obama’s petulant claim that he could have defeated Trump had he been able to run for a third term. It reminds one of the party Bill Clinton threw for himself after leaving office on George W. Bush’s Inauguration Day, in order to upstage the new president. When they leave office, recent Democratic presidents find it difficult to withdraw into a customary, dignified obscurity.
But there’s more to it than that. What is behind Obama’s attack on Russia and Israel is a pathetic attempt to tie the hands of the new administration, and to extend his rule beyond the two terms allotted a president.

How Liberal Democrats Institutionalized White Supremacy

The election of Barack Obama, the first black president of the United States, was seen as a landmark achievement for a nation that once dehumanized blacks and held them as slaves. The expectation was that President Obama would lift up the socioeconomic status of blacks throughout the nation and rid the country of its attitudes of racial discrimination and bias.
But the exact opposite has happened. Obama’s record of black achievement is not just dismal, it is shocking. Obama’s policies have put blacks out of the work force, their unemployment rate has risen. Welfare use and food stamp enrollment have also seen startling and disappointing increases.
At first one could argue that this is because the nation was too prejudiced to allow him to establish any programs that would elevate blacks in the U.S. But this argument cannot be made, since Obama spent and borrowed more money than any government leader in world history, not just U.S. history. How this historical expenditure failed to lift up the economic status of blacks is the most important issue of Obama’s presidency, for no other reason than that was his self-avowed goal.

About Islam, Illegal Immigration and Things 3

This suggestion by a CNN anchor shows little concern for American women and the freedoms our nation offers all people, including women.  Giving in to oppressive practices of an oppressive religion with a reputation of belittling and abusing women is unacceptable.   http://patrioticviralnews.com/articles/cnn-anchor-makes-insane-suggestion-to-non-muslim-women-in-america/

So sad that things like this happen.  This is a problem unleashed by Muslim apologists who seem to have lost sight of the consequences of their colossal mistake.    http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/739620/Maria-Ladenburger-murder-EU-official-daughter-killed-by-refugee-Aghan

The prime minister of Hungary has had enough of the problems Muslim refugees are causing. He tells them to get out and not come back.  Quote: "Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has been very vocal about his displeasure with the Muslims who are invading his country and Europe. Now, it appears that he has given the illegal invaders an ultimatum, Get out of Hungary and don’t come back… If you cannot leave, we will assist you.  “Hungary will do everything in its power to enable every migrant to return from Europe to his own country,” he said. “And Hungary will do everything possible to make sure that no one may enter and stay illegally on Hungarian territory, in violation of Hungarian laws.”    http://eaglerising.com/38759/hungarian-prime-minister-tells-muslim-illegal-immigrants-to-get-out-and-to-not-come-back-video/

As you read the below items please keep in mind these wise words from Thomas Sowell.  Quote: "However congenial the idea of open borders may be to elites who think of themselves as citizens of the world, it is not even possible to have everyone come to America and the country still remain America."   http://townhall.com/columnists/thomassowell/2016/10/25/immigration-controversies-n2236371?

To say as, Obama and Hillary say that we owe it ourselves to be nice and welcoming of Muslims to our country is a really bad idea.  Too many examples they choose to ignore say so.  Here is but one example.   http://www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/US-Mall-St-Cloud-Minnesota/2016/09/17/id/748816/?   More examples follow.

This federal judge asks Obama this legitimate question:  Why are you not bringing more Christian refugees into the country?  Quote: "According to Manion, it is “well-documented” that the refugees are not representative of that “war-torn area of the world.” Ten percent of the Syrian population is Christian and “yet less than one-half of 1 percent of Syrian refugees admitted to the United States this year are Christian.” President Barack Obama set a goal of resettling 10,000 Syrian refugees in the U.S., and by August that goal had already been exceeded. But of the “nearly 11,000 refugees admitted by mid-September, only 56 were Christian.”  Yet Christian Syrians have been one of the primary targets of the Islamic jihadists infesting Syria and butchering, murdering, and killing civilians. The Islamic State has made it clear that it is going after Christians because it intends to “conquer Rome, break your crosses, and enslave your women.”    http://dailysignal.com/2016/10/27/federal-judge-asks-why-obama-administration-isnt-admitting-christian-syrian-refugees/

This tells you how great Sharia Law really is.  This British woman was gang raped in Dubai and then gets arrested for engaging in extra marital sex. Quote: "A British woman facing jail for extra-marital sex after reporting an alleged gang rape on holiday in Dubai has told of her "nightmare" and said she's "petrified".  Zara-Jayne Moisey, 25, told police in the United Arab Emirates she was violently raped by two British men in the city last month. But instead of being treated as a victim, Zara, from Widnes, who is single after splitting from her husband, was reportedly locked up on suspicion of extra-marital sex and later charged with the offence.  Her passport has been confiscated and she now faces a trial, claim her family and friends."   http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/british-woman-gang-raped-dubai-9284516

Quote: "Christians across America should be terrified by Hillary Clinton’s denouncing of Trump supporters as “bigoted” people who are so “deplorable” that they are “irredeemable,” because she was primarily talking about people of faith, as reflected by one of her top Democratic supporters just one day before Clinton’s infamous speech.  While many commentators were stunned by Clinton’s comments, most have overlooked the setting and context. Clinton was speaking in New York City at an LGBT event. And she specified that the “bigoted” and “irredeemable” people she was denouncing are both homophobic and Islamophobic."  http://www.breitbart.com/2016-presidential-race/2016/09/16/hillary-clinton-christians-are-bigoted-and-deplorable-religious-liberty-code-for-discrimination/    It seems that Islamic and LGBT interests supersede those of Christians.  That is odd because Islam is radically anti-LGBT (they kill them while Christians pray they will repent) but she obviously does not see Muslims as being bigoted.  To her that moniker only belongs Christians.  Do you understand that logic?  

This is one of many items the mainstream media has found convenient to overlook.  A Muslim immigrant dad shoots and kills his adult daughter sleeping in bed.  Quote: "Mr. Mansour might have assimilated to Western culture sufficiently to shave his beard and wear jeans but not to accept his daughter behaving like western girls,” said Akbari, author of “Honor Killing: A Professional’s Guide to Sexual Relations and Ghayra Violence from the Islamic Sources.”  After shooting Tahini in the forehead, twice, Mansour stood before a judge later that day and said it was an “accident".    http://www.wnd.com/2016/09/ohio-muslim-immigrant-kills-own-daughter/   This was no accident.  It was an Islamic sanctioned honor killing.

How is it the left blames these type events on Republicans and conservatives when they are in charge and fostered the rise of terrorism by inviting these type people into our country without our permission?   Quote: "The beautiful fragrance of the American way of life is being overtaken by the stench of dead flies resting on the laurels of political correctness."    http://townhall.com/columnists/susanstamperbrown/2016/09/19/12-hours-of-terror-just-another-weekend-in-leftistrun-america-n2220278?

Illegal Immigration.

This is an example of the so called benefits of Obama's illegal immigration policies. Quote: "For too long, we’ve been sold this bill of goods about illegal immigrants being a glorious addition to the United States. Obama and Hillary Clinton have cleverly cherry-picked college-bound kids to showcase, ignoring the dark underbelly of this untenable situation. The reaction to Donald Trump’s “they’re sending rapists, etc.” speech proves that their dreamy vision of illegal immigration is spreading.  It’s not about racism, though. It’s about waking the hell up."    http://www.themadpatriots.com/freedom-news/illegal-immigration-turning-long-island-into-war-zone/

Quote: "A Florence court has convicted a Senegalese man of murdering an American woman in her flat after they met at a nightclub.

More radical Muslim terrorism.  Quote: "A truck plowed into a Christmas market in Berlin, Germany on Monday, killing nine people while injuring at least 50 others, according to police."     http://freebeacon.com/national-security/truck-drives-christmas-market-berlin/?    The German people are waking up to the fact that without proper vetting current refugee policies are not working.  Political calculations have proved wrong given the harm being inflicted on innocents and cultural norms.

Bear in mind as you read this item that this is not instructions for radical jihadists but for the average Muslim male.  If you think this is okay I beg to differ with you. This is just one of many reasons to resist efforts to admit Muslims into a country that does not abide Sharia Law.   http://eaglerising.com/39462/muslim-army-chaplain-explains-when-its-okay-to-beat-your-wives/

President Obama has cut another deal to increase Muslim refugee settlement in the US.    http://www.conservativezone.com/articles/president-obamas-last-stand/   Quote: "“Immigration’s an elective policy, and there’s a lot of supply,” he pointed out. “A lot of people want to come here; everyone wants to come here. We should only bring in people who will affirmatively love America, cherish our values.  “Our Founders always referred to this in the context of immigration – you know, with all the hyphenated Americanism nowadays, there’s one hyphenated American they always mentioned, and that’s Republican-Americans. They wanted ‘Republican-Americans.’ It wasn’t so much even about the welfare … but it was more so that they wanted people to assimilate into our political values.”    http://www.wnd.com/2016/12/secret-refugee-resettlement-transforming-america/

Remember as you read this item Islamic policy is to lie when necessary to protect any challenge to any aspect of the Islamic religion.   Quote: "The plain truth of the matter is that if you include all of the data from the FBI, “then there have been around 62 people killed in the United States by Islamic extremists for every one American killed by a right wing terrorist (a 62 to 1 ratio if you divide the slightly over 3000 deaths due to Islamic extremism by the 48 deaths attributed to right wing extremism).    http://patriotpowerednews.com/tucker-carlson-destroys-muslim-prof-who-blames-right-wingers-for-muslim-terrorism/    In this case the Muslim professor took a page out of Hillary's playbook and blamed Republicans for their Islamic policy of jihadist terrorism.  To such people neither truth or facts do not matter.

This is a logical follow-up to the previous item.    http://www.wnd.com/2016/11/trump-gets-tough-looks-to-ban-muslim-brotherhood/

This Muslim recognizes truth for what it is and disagrees with Muslim apologists such as Obama who refuse to acknowledge truth of the inherent violence of embraced by Islam.  Quote: "Ever since 19 Muslims killed nearly 3,000 people on 9/11, the argument has loomed large: Were they motivated by Islam or did they “hijack” a great world religion for their own evil purposes?   Now a black Arab Muslim is answering that question, Joseph Farah’s G2 Bulletin reports.  And he’s blaming President Obama for trying to conceal the motive that Islam provides terrorists to terrorize. Obama repeatedly has charged that Islam is a religion of peace and that only those who pervert Islam pursue violence. Mansour Al-Hadj disagrees.  “The claim that terrorism is not related to Islam is a claim that historical facts disprove and current reality rejects and exposes as a distortion, since it is an undisputed fact that Islamic heritage is the ideological basis and the fertile ground granting terrorist groups justifications and motives to commit their heinous crimes,” he writes."    http://www.wnd.com/2016/11/black-arab-muslim-obama-conceals-islams-inherent-violence/

About Islam, Illegal Immigration and Things 1

A well constructed assessment of our times.   Two Quotes: “Islam is not the problem,” proclaims the Left. And if you say otherwise, you’re a “racist,” even though “Muslim” is not a race. Yet a fact remains: virtually all the world’s terrorists today claim Islamic motivations. So if Islam (belief) is not the problem, are we then left with a genetic explanation for this violence? Is there something inherent in the groups generally embracing Islam — Arabs, Persians, Indonesians, Punjabis, etc. — that would account for it? And, hey, I’m just asking; it’s the liberals who profess ideas suggesting this possibility."  And, "Delving deeper, however, the truth is that, in the most important sense, the secular/religious distinction is a false one. Consider: If God exists, is it more significant that we label belief in Him “religious” or that it’s true? If Marxism is essentially a lie, is it more significant that we label it “secular” or that it’s untrue? The most important distinction, the only one that really matters, is the true and the untrue.  (Note: because we’ve lost sight of this, our courts now essentially say that Christianity cannot be in government schools but Marxism can. Ponder that.)  In the final analysis, people believe things. Some of those things are good and some of those things are bad. Some awfully bad things are believed by a large number of people today. If we want to survive, we’d better recognize what those things are and who promotes them — and act accordingly."     http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2016/12/islam_is_the_problem.html 

The sooner Americans understand what this Muslim leader says the sooner we can start dealing with not letting what he says happen. Here's what he tells his Muslim audience.  Quote: "Haitham Ibn Thbait, of the American chapter of Hizb Ut-Tahrir, told American Muslims earlier this year that Islam was not here to integrate, but rather to dominate."  Pay attention to what they say, not what misguided leftist Muslim apologists say.  http://eaglerising.com/38635/muslim-leader-in-u-s-ensures-islam-is-not-here-to-integrate-islam-is-here-to-dominate-video/

As most people know Obama is a vindictive operator with an agenda not hospitable for America.  He is a strong supporter of Islam and an opponent of Israel.  That is obvious from both his words and deeds.  Now he snubs his nose at Israel as he leaves office.  The man is an embarrassment to most Americans and a dishonorable person who regrettably served as president for 8 long unhappy years.    http://www.wnd.com/2016/12/obama-enrages-israel-on-way-out-the-door/

This is a warning that needs to be given strong consideration by all of us.  Quote: "Veteran journalist and WND news editor Leo Hohmann, during a recent appearance on “The Larry Elder Show,” said civilization jihad is a strategy initially devised by the Muslim Brotherhood.  “They use violent jihad, but they also use civilization jihad, which is a long-term form of sort of cultural jihad, so to speak, in which they infiltrate a country, a government from within … use the liberal immigration laws to their advantage and have their people not assimilate into the culture, but live in enclaves and sort of stick to themselves until they get enough numbers, until they build up their numbers, and then we see more violent jihad unfold at that point,” Hohmann explained to Elder."

If this does not scare you I don't know what will.  Quote: ""Everything is Christian", Jean-Paul Sartre wrote after the war. Two thousand years of Christianity have left a deep mark on the French language, landscape and culture. But not according to France's Minister of Education, Najat Vallaud-Belkacem. She just announced that instead of saying "Merry Christmas", state officials should use "Happy Holidays" -- clearly a deliberate intent to erase from discourse and the public space any reference to the Christian culture in which France is rooted.  Jean-François Chemain called it the "eradication of any Christian sign in the public landscape". A year ago, the controversy was ignited in the French town of Ploermel, where a court decided that the statue of Pope John Paul II, erected in a square, had to be removed for violating "secularism". "    http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-12-25/islamists-attack-christmas-europeans-abolish-it? 

Societal change is the goal of demands such as those this item documents.  Such demands should never be met.   http://www.libertyheadlines.com/muslim-students-demand-prayer-rooms-every-major-campus-building/?

Many leaders of western nations have abandoned their responsibility to protect their own countries and citizens from outsider harm.  Their "higher" calling to support refugees without regard to safety and welfare of their own people is grossly misguided.  Some refugees are truly that and deserve sympathy and support but far too many others are not and are bent on carrying out jihad against infidels.  Deserving refugees should be supported not by repatriating them to a vastly different culture and expecting a good outcome. And the bad guys need to be rejected out of hand.  True refugees should be relocated in safe areas near their homeland so they can return when circumstances permit.  It is an indisputable fact that Islamic culture is incompatible with western culture.  Conflict is a guaranteed outcome as daily newscasts portray.  The madness must stop.   http://townhall.com/columnists/calthomas/2016/12/24/more-terror-more-denial-n2263170?

Quote: "Many of us have long puzzled over the close political affinity among Pelosi Democrats, radical feminists, racial activists, LGBT transgendered language/bathroom extremists, P.C. grievance-study academics, etc. and their apparent polar opposites – namely, misogynist, bloodthirsty, Islamic religious fanatics practicing honor-killings of gays and women while causing death and mayhem with repeated terror attacks upon Western multicultural democracies that preserve religious, cultural, sexual freedoms.  The two “party platforms” seem completely contradictory.

A striking clue to the solution to this conundrum occurred to me while reading the following passage in "'Celebrating' Orientalism," an important essay by Richard Landes, Middle East Quarterly, Winter 2017 (h/t Powerline)."   Read the quote.  Very interesting.   http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2016/12/why_the_social_justice_warriors_are_so_attracted_to_islam.html

Quote: "It would be clearer for our defense and offense if we stopped using "jihad" and instead picked up the term "qital" when a violent act is committed.  Of course "jihad" will never go out of fashion because it elevates the struggle in Muslim eyes.  But qital and qitalist are more accurate than jihad or jihadist, in much the same way that "war" and "warrior" are more accurate than "struggle" or "struggler" in a context of violence.  Thus, the most dangerous verse in the Quran is 9:29, because it is continuous and admits of no expiration date.  The violent military war (qital) will continue for as long as Islam is alive and radicals keep reading that verse.  Jews and Christians need to be aware that they are the verse's unending targets today and tomorrow.  It staggers belief that the politicians around the Western world refuse to acknowledge this unpleasant truth."    http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2016/12/the_most_dangerous_verse_in_the_quran.html

This is a logical follow-up to the previous item.  Quote: "While the Council on American-Islamic Relations likes to bill itself as a Muslim “civil-rights organization,” it downplays its direct ties to the terrorist group Hamas, its lineage to the Muslim Brotherhood and its extremist history that includes dozens of its executives, board members’ and staffers’ indictments, convictions and prison sentences for terror-related crimes.  But sometimes CAIR leadership lets its guard down."  And, "Hussam Ayloush, the long-time director of CAIR-Los Angeles, Tweeted out the following message:  “Ok, repeat after me: “Al-Shaab yureed isqat al-nizaam. “(Arab Spring chant)”  And, "The second line in Arabic translates to “The people want to bring down the regime.”  “In other words, Ayloush unambiguously and directly called for the overthrow of the U.S. government,” observes scholar Daniel Pipes of Middle East Forum."    http://www.wnd.com/2016/12/trump-alert-u-s-muslim-leader-seeks-your-overthrow/

Nearing exit, Obama seeks to tie Trump's hands

Obama's decision Thursday to sanction Russian entities for election-related hacking is just the latest obstacle he has placed in Trump's way.
Days before the sanctions were unveiled, the Obama administration allowed the U.N. Security Council to condemn Israeli settlement activity — something that could have an indelible impact on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Obama has also permanently banned oil and gas drilling across large swaths of the Atlantic and Arctic oceans, closed off 1.6 million acres of Western land to development and scrapped the last vestiges of a registration system used largely on Muslim immigrants.

The Terrorism We Refuse to Fight

If you open the New York Times or the Wall Street Journal or turn on your TV or Internet, you are guaranteed to see stories of terrorism in Germany and France and England, in North Africa, in Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Nigeria, the Caucasus, the Philippines, all over the earth far away from here.

And you’ll read stories about what the leading statesmen and politicians of the USA are doing and plan to do to keep terrorism from slamming our shores again: “extreme” vetting, water boarding, keeping out immigrants from turbulent Muslim regions. These are all huge stories, and the subject of keeping terror far away from these United States is a vital subject.
There is one giant problem though. Terrorism is already here. Right here. In America. Every day. Every night.
There is terrorism by gun violence in the big cities and small cities throughout this nation. It’s not a threat for the future. It’s happening right now.
In Chicago, the murder capital of the industrial world, there were over fifty — not fifteen, FIFTY — shootings just over the Christmas holiday. Eleven of these resulted in deaths and more may be coming from the ICUs. The number of shootings and deaths in Chicago has risen by very roughly double just since last year. In dangerous neighborhoods, children hide in their rooms. People in cars ride by quickly with faces down, so as not to provoke anyone in the neighborhood by having the wrong look on their faces — which could easily get them killed.

Two Simple Suggestions for George Soros

Soros Should Simply Stop Funding Democrats
Soros has been a major funder of Democrat projects. Not only did he throw $25 million into the money pit that was the Clinton campaign, he’s been a major funder of Democrat projects generally. Post Citizens United, it’s become very difficult to track who contributes what to whom. What is clear is that Soros is a major funder what Politico calls “the institutional left” (by which is most definitely not meant, say, Bernie Sanders and his supporters, hence not really “left” at all. Politico:
George Soros and other rich liberals who spent tens of millions of dollars trying to elect Hillary Clinton are gathering in Washington for a three-day, closed door meeting to retool the big-money left to fight back against Donald Trump.
the meeting also comes as many liberals are reassessing their approach to politics — and the role of the Democracy Alliance, or DA, as the club is known in Democratic finance circles. The DA, its donors and beneficiary groups over the last decade have had a major hand in shaping the institutions of the left, including by orienting some of its key organizations around Clinton….

Obama Administration’s Attack on Russia

The Obama administration appears to be attempting to provoke the Russians into a confrontation once again. This apparent attack on Russia is in reality an attack on Donald Trump. Andrea Mitchell reported that the Obama administration is taking steps to “box in” president-elect Donald Trump so the sanctions are not easily reversible. This provocation will include economic sanctions, 'diplomatic censure' and clandestine cyber attacks. The excuse for this provocation is the alleged Russian interference in the U.S. election. How can Donald Trump be sworn in as president if the Russians in effect chose him as our next president? The campaign being waged suggests that Trump is not very intelligent, he ignores intelligence assets and he is a tool of Vladimir Putin.
The administration’s point man for the attack on Trump’s competence is Vice President Joseph Biden. Biden has declared, "Trump is so stupid that he doesn’t understand,” and "He has no idea what the hell he’s talking about.” After revealing that he was accompanied by a military aide carrying a briefcase containing the nuclear codes, Biden remarked, “Just imagine giving this guy access." The vice president also revealed the location of the secure bunker where he would go in the event of a terrorist attack or national security threat.

Two-state, not three state, solution occurred in 1948

Soon to be sidelined Secretary of State John Kerry wasted an hour and a half reinventing history December 28 after the Obama administration’s ambassador to the United Nations disgraced America by abstaining at the security council’s vote on Friday. His moronic remarks aren’t even worth referencing as he attempted to bolster an irredeemable action that endangered Israel’s very existence by pressuring the small state to return to indefensible borders.
Luckily, this is just another paper tiger U.N. resolution, one of numerous anti-Israel actions over the last 50 years (which makes one wonder why the august body ever recognized the Jewish state to begin with—but we’ll get to that). What is mind boggling is how the United States could allow itself to be sucked into sponsoring Hamas’ terrorism by refusing to support our ally, bringing to mind the old adage—With friends like this, who needs enemies?
The underlying problem is that a two-state solution creating a national entity based on Jewry’s ancestral homeland of Israel was one of the initial actions taken by the United Nations after its charter in 1945. The history of the Jewish land purchases from the declining Ottoman Empire, the endowment of the British Mandate and the artificial borders of Syria, Lebanon, Iraq and Transjordan drawn in 1920 are detailed at this link.
The outcome of the final dissolution of the British Mandate in 1948 resulted in Transjordan being split into the two states of Jordan and Israel—the Hashemite kingdom in response to Arab populations and a Jewish nation that granted citizenship to all residents, including the Arabs living within its new borders. It isn’t necessary to delve into the tribal base and political reward that stood behind the new dynasty of Jordan. It’s enough to note that two states were carved out of the old Roman epithet of “Palestine” to serve the native and returning Jews as well as the nomadic Arabs. For, until the Zionists and other Jews showed up at the latter end of the 19^th century, the region was a barren backwater that the Ottomans’ were overjoyed to sell off for hard cash to the returning heirs.

Obama Has Been Playing The Race Card Since He Became President

President Obama has shown to the American people his true colors and at the earliest political opportunity has proceeded to present his Arab brothers their political victory at the U.N. The earliest political juncture could only be at the end of his presidency and especially since Hillary lost the election, since Obama’s legacy cannot continue, he now is enacting the political wrecking ball in every area that he can.
Most Americans and even the vast majority of American Jews though most support Israel would be even more outraged than they already are, if they knew the history of the “West Bank” and Israel from the 1850s to the present day.
Recommended reading to those that would like to know more would be the Pierre Van Paassen “the Forgotten Ally” and Joan Peters book “From Time Immemorial: The Origins of the Arab-Jewish Conflict over Palestine.” When one reads these books one will be well aware that the premise for a Palestinian state itself is false and pure propaganda. The Arabs want to get what they can through peaceful means and then when Israel’s borders have been sufficiently weakened then use violence to destroy Israel and the Jews. The Arab society whether in “Palestine” or any other Arab majority society is a culture brought up on the hatred of the Jew. This is in their prayers , their main stream media and in their mosques. We have chronologued this hatred hundreds of times on this web site.

Hillary Negotiating Secret Pardon With Obama’s White House Counsel Who Previously Worked for Clinton Family & White House

Hillary and President Bill Clinton are secretly negotiating framework for a potential pardon from President Barack Obama that would spare Hillary from looming criminal indictments, according to Justice Department sources.
But there’s a catch, as there often is when it comes to legal proceedings and the Clinton family. Neil Eggleston, White House Counsel to the President who oversees and approves all presidential pardons and commutations, was previously employed by President Bill Clinton’s White House as a key lawyer to the former president and Hillary Clinton. Also, Eggleston has previously represented Cheryl Mills, a key Hillary attorney believed to be involved in Clinton’s clemency negotiations.
Even though she has not been charged yet with any crimes, the Obama pardon would shield Hillary from any criminal charges she could face under a Donald Trump administration and a Sen. Jeff Sessions-led Justice Department.
Sources said Obama green-lighted the Clinton talks with Eggleston prior to departing for his last presidential vacation in Hawaii. However, allowing the Clintons and their attorneys to negotiate directly with Eggleston smacks of a serious conflict of interest, whether or not the sides agree on acceptable clemency terms for the former secretary of state. In an corruption-free administration, Eggleston would step aside and recuse himself from such negotiations having served as a Clinton family lawyer during the most tumultuous period of Bill’s Clinton’s presidency, including his impeachment.
But the Obama administration is anything but corruption free.

Democrats Prepare for Violent Revolution

Their hysteria goes beyond insanity, and the liberal lefties are gnashing their teeth in anger and fear because of their anti-Trump derangement disorder The Democrats, in the 2016 Presidential Election, lost Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin when it came to the Electoral College. While California became bluer, the realization that the Democrats are losing grip on their transformational agenda in the rest of the country has slammed the leftists square in the face. The disarray and civil war the liberal leftists accused the GOP of being capable of over that last eight years is now a reality for the Democrat Party.  They have revealed too much of who they really are, and America has rejected their socialism, their divisive class warfare, and their unwillingness to protect the United States against enemies who want to destroy our way of life.
The liberal left utopia, however, is more than merely an ideology.  For the American Left it is a religion.  They hate any opposition, and are willing to do whatever it takes to either win over their opposition, or silence and eliminate their opposition.  We saw this to be true during the 2016 Election.  The tactics of street warfare, and something way beyond mudslinging, were disturbing.

Ethnic cleansing of Jews without anyone noticing

One of the false mantras of the so-called Palestinian leadership and their BDS supporters is that they are being ethnically cleansed by the brutal Zionist occupiers. This despite the fact that the Arab population is increasing by leaps and bounds and thanks to Israel their health and medical care has improved greatly.
So where is the ethnic cleansing?  It is against Jews by the Palestinian leadership supported by the BDS activists and now with the help of the United Nations.
On a visit to Cairo in July of 2013,  Mahmoud Abbas said that “no Jew, civilian or otherwise, would be permitted to live in the future Palestinian state.”  He repeated it several times to his own people before someone whispered in his ear that this was being construed as anti-Semitic and not helpful to their cause, so he switched the word “Jew” to “Israeli.” But it was too late. He had already set the marker. This Holocaust denier had said what he meant. Further proof that the main obstacle to a two-state solution is not the settlements, as UNSC 2334 would have us believe, but the absolute refusal of Abbas to acknowledge the presence of the Jewish state of Israel. This is too abhorrent a reality for Mahmoud Abbas and certainly also Hamas on the other side of the Palestinian political divide.

What Kerry got wrong in his Israel speech

Secretary of State John Kerry laid out his vision of a Middle East peace deal on Wednesday. Rather than achieve peace between Israel and Palestinians, however, Kerry will be remembered for catalyzing terrorism and setting back the cause of peace for decades, if not permanently. The problems are not only ego and pique, the twisted personal motivations of Kerry and President Obama, but also the false conventional wisdom upon which Kerry and his aides operate.
Here is what they get wrong:
Intransigence: Who is holding up peace? After long and careful negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian Authority brokered by the United States and the broader international community, Israeli leaders offered their Palestinian counterparts peace deals in 2000 and 2008. Both the late Palestinian chairman Yasser Arafat and his successor Mahmoud Abbas rejected the offers and walked away, without offering a counter proposal. When Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu froze settlement construction upon Obama's request, Abbas again refused for nine months to even talk to the Israelis.

President Obama Gets An 'F' For Economic Growth

Obamanomics: We know economics has been called the dismal science, but the latest Economic Report of the President makes for especially bleak reading. Looking through it, it's easy to see why the economy under President Obama is so bad.
Heritage Foundation economist Brian Riley had a very interesting insight: Just for grins, he went through the 435-page presidential economic tome and counted up the mentions of "freedom" and "inequality."
The score: Freedom got 1 mention, inequality 235.
That tells you the Obamanauts are so obsessed with "inequality" that they delude themselves about what's really important to an economy: growth. Sure, they talk about something called "inclusive growth," as if any such thing even exists. It doesn't. It's a feel-good social-branding term that has no basis in actual reality and excuses Obama's failure to make the real economy grow.
Make no mistake, growth is the salve that heals all wounds. A growing economy creates greater income, opportunity and resources for all -- even for those at the bottom. What's the best way to get growth? In a word, freedom. The same word that Obama's top economist, Jason Furman, and the phalanx of economists working for him, have studiously ignored in the president's report.

The Obama Recovery Is A Myth

President Obama has staked a great part of his legacy on the idea that he skillfully engineered a great recovery from the financial crisis. The Obama-friendly media routinely parrot the idea. But in fact, as a shocking new study from the nonpartisan U.S. Council on Competitiveness and the Gallup organization suggests, the so-called recovery doesn't exist.
As recently as Oct. 11, less than a month before the election, the online publication The Hill ran this headline: "Obama's economic legacy ensures Democrats decades of success." No kidding. But it's a bit unfair to single them out: Others have run with similar themes. The point is, it's not true.
The reason Obama's chosen successor, Hillary Clinton, didn't win a third straight presidential term for the Democrats was that they actually seemed to believe their own propaganda, while Middle America didn't. For most Americans, the much-hoped-for recovery has been nonexistent. That's why they voted in droves for Donald Trump in normally Democratic strongholds.
The new study, "No Recovery — An Analysis of Long-Term Productivity Decline," provides strong clues as to why that is.

New Census Data Shows Why the Job Market is Still “Terrible” (as Trump said)

When Donald Trump campaigned on how “terrible” the jobs situation was, while the Obama Administration touted the jobs growth since the employment bottom of the Great Recession in 2010, it sounded like they were talking about two entirely different economies at different ends of the world. But they weren’t. Statistically speaking, they were both right.
Since 2011, the US economy created 14.6 million “nonfarm payrolls” as defined by the Bureau of Labor Statistics – whether or not they’re low-wage or less than full-time jobs. But for individuals, this job market, statistically speaking, looks almost as tough as it was during the Great Recession.
Obviously, a lot of people have found jobs, and some of them have found good jobs since then, and there are a ton of “job openings.” But the Census Bureau just told us why the job market is still, to use Trump’s term, “terrible” when it released its population estimates for 2016, just before clocking out for the holidays.
According to this report: From the beginning of 2010 – in terms of jobs, the darkest days of the Great Recession – through December 2016, the US “resident population” (not counting overseas-stationed military personnel) grew by 16 million people.

Dear Michelle: There Most Certainly Is Hope

In her usual crass, coarse, and graceless manner, Michelle Obama epitomized the very worst of the America she so disdains when she opined about "hopelessness" regarding the election.  She conveniently forgets about the debt her husband piled up, or the incredible unemployment numbers, or the decrease in Americans' buying power, or the diminution of America's standing in the world, or the worsening race relations – courtesy of her husband.
The Obamas had the means to effect so much positive change.  But as dutiful leftists who hate the United States of America, they were intent upon sowing division and destruction.  They were never concerned about the people, despite all the hype about hope.
It would shock Mrs. Obama to learn that many young people do not share her dismal view of victimization and do not engage in racism.  And despite the anti-Trump hysteria at many colleges, there are those instructors who really do insist upon critical thinking skills.  To that end, this semester, I distributed the following prompt:

As Obama accomplished policy goals, his party floundered

In boasting about his tenure in the White House, President Barack Obama often cites numbers like these: 15 million new jobs, a 4.9 percent unemployment rate and 74 months of consecutive job growth.
There's one number you will almost never hear: More than 1,030 seats.
That's the number of spots in state legislatures, governor's mansions and Congress lost by Democrats during Obama's presidency.
It's a statistic that reveals an unexpected twist of the Obama years: The leadership of the one-time community organizer and champion of ground-up politics was rough on the grassroots of his own party. When Obama exits the White House, he'll leave behind a Democratic Party that languished in his shadow for years and is searching for itself.
"What's happened on the ground is that voters have been punishing Democrats for eight solid years — it's been exhausting," said South Carolina state Sen. Vincent Sheheen, who lost two gubernatorial campaigns to Nikki Haley, President-elect Donald Trump's pick for ambassador to the U.N. "If I was talking about a local or state issue, voters would always lapse back into a national topic: Barack Obama."

Turns out Obama’s team is doing anything but helping with the transition

He may very well have an angle. And it’s entirely possible that his ego won’t let this last.
  But as much as we’ve criticized just about everything Obama’s done as president - and justifiably so, I would maintain - I can’t help but give him credit now for the way he’s handling the early segments of the transition.
  Obama has been magnanimous in his treatment of Donald Trump, and he seems to remember how professional the Bush team was during the transition to his administration, and seems determined to follow his predecessor’s example and do the same for Trump.
  The Wall Street Journal had a rather extraordinary story about Trump’s surprise at realizing he would have to replace the entire White House staff by Inauguration Day, and about Obama’s realization that he needs to spend more time than he had planned on with his successor, helping to make sure he understands the full scope of the job.

There is no difference

Much has been written and spoken of the recent elderly white woman’s verbal tirade at a J.C. Penny store. Correctly written and spoken in my view. There is no place in society for such offensive speech, though such is protected under our Constitution. However, there is no substantive difference between her actions and the racist words of some college and university professors, such as at Boston University.
In our country proud of its First Amendment protected free speech, the pride comes at the cost of being offended by the speech of some. And make no mistake; offensive speech is not limited to one racial, ethnic, gender, political, age, economic, religious, or any other grouping. Even a moderate amount of research provides countless examples of people from all groups offending others.
Though offending words can be aggravating and infuriating, let’s not lose sight of the fact that it is byproduct of free speech. And free speech, whether from a college professor, political candidate, white female shopper, radio host, TV commentator, or your neighbor, is worth protecting.

Democracy is a relic from a bygone era

This idea that government is beholden to the people, that it has no other source of power except the sovereign people, is still the newest and the most unique idea in all the long history of man's relation to man. - Ronald Reagan, October 27th, 1964

Democracy, the moldy-oldy discredited system, was introduced in the year 507 BC. That's 2,500+ years, for those of you counting. The American Republic and the Liberty which it was founded on, which was never discredited but simply circumvented by progressives; by comparison was introduced in 1776 AD. That's 240 years. But who's counting?
Democracy carries with it a fatal flaw: tyranny of the majority. The American Republic fixes that flaw. It contains safeguards in it to protect the people from the failures of democracy, so as to ensure the Liberty of every citizen and respect that no other source of power is legitimate except the sovereign people.
Long live the Republic. Now it is true that true republics are necessarily democratic and that's a good thing, however, a republic is far superior to democracy.
But right now, as we speak, tyranny is on the march. Even when they lose elections, progressives do not stop. The agenda moves forward. For the last 100 years, progressives, starting with Theodore Roosevelt, have sought to circumvent the Republic and pervert the Republic into a democracy by introducing measures such as direct election of the senate, an easier way to add in amendments to the constitution, and the last piece of this puzzle, abolition of the electoral college. Two of these efforts are listed in the Bull Moose platform of 1912.
These progressive scumbags are patient sonsabitches, aren't they? Their patience to destroy this country outlasts their own lifespans. They are that committed to seeing it done.

’Tis the Season to Make America Hate Again

People intent on humiliating others end up humiliating themselves.
Police arrested a Greenville, Mississippi, parishioner of the Hopewell Missionary Baptist Church for burning down the structure and spray painting “Vote Trump” on the remains. “Arson is notoriously difficult to prove,” the Atlantic conceded about the arson at the African-American church, initially noting, “In this case, though, someone left a calling card about politics.”
In New York City, a trio of Trump supporters allegedly attempted to rip off a Muslim teen’s hijab while chanting “Trump” and telling the “terrorist” to leave the country. “Trump America is real and I witnessed it first hand last night!” Yasmin Seweid posted on Facebook on December 2. “What a traumatizing night.”
Manhattan, no Mississippi, struck the NYPD as a strange location for a train full of passengers to turn their backs, and remain silent, on an attack on a beautiful college student by three drunks. The cops found neither witnesses nor video evidence to corroborate her colorful claims. After nearly two weeks, she admitted to concocting the story to shield the reality of staying out past curfew with a Christian boy. Rather than depicting Trump supporters in a horrible light, the woman showing up to court in a shaved head — more humane than an honor killing, one supposes — displayed the barbarism that so bothers the president-elect’s most fervent backers.

The Real Russian Agent

Liberal Democrats have been so busy accusing Donald J. Trump of being a Russian agent that they have missed the real Russian agent on the international scene—Germany’s Angela Merkel. Her pro-Muslim immigration policies have not only destabilized Europe and increased terrorism but have also facilitated the rise of the right-wing political parties our media have expressed alarm about.
Our media, for example, were shocked over a reported meeting between a leader of the Austrian Freedom Party and Trump’s national security adviser, Lt. Gen. Michael T. Flynn. The Austrian Freedom Party had signed a cooperation agreement with Russian President Vladimir Putin’s United Russia party. Liberal Democrats saw this as more evidence of a pro-Russian bent by the incoming Trump administration.

What Are They Afraid Of?

Now that Donald Trump has been elected, hope is gone.  That's more or less what Michelle Obama told Oprah Winfrey in a recent interview.  "We are feeling what not having hope feels like," she said.
There are millions of liberals feeling hopeless these days.  The left's fear of a Trump administration is like nothing seen since the election of Ronald Reagan in 1980, which reversed 50 years of liberal politics.  Not only are they bawling in public, threatening to relocate to Canada, and cuddling up with therapy dogs, but they've tried every undemocratic trick in the book to deny Trump the election.
Trump obviously threatens something of crucial importance to the left, but what is it?  What are they afraid of?
They are afraid of Trump's policies, of course – and there will be plenty of changes on day one.  Most of what Obama "accomplished" by executive order stands to be reversed.  Other reversals may take months or years.  All of this threatens the left on business regulation, taxes, health care, energy, welfare, labor law, the environment, and more.

We will have to wait and see if this is true, but I suspect it is pretty close to right. Quote: "A Wikileaks envoy today claims he personally received Clinton campaign emails in Washington D.C. after they were leaked by ‘disgusted’ whisteblowers – and not hacked by Russia.  Craig Murray, former British ambassador to Uzbekistan and a close associate of Wikileaks founder Julian Assange, told Dailymail.com that he flew to Washington, D.C. for a clandestine hand-off with one of the email sources in September.  ‘Neither of [the leaks] came from the Russians,’ said Murray in an interview with Dailymail.com on Tuesday. ‘The source had legal access to the information. The documents came from inside leaks, not hacks.’  His account contradicts directly the version of how thousands of Democratic emails were published before the election being advanced by U.S. intelligence."   http://familysurvivalheadlines.com/report-there-were-no-russians-wikileaks-operative-claims-clinton-emails-handed-over-by-disgusted-democrat-whistleblowers/

How I framed Oswald.”   That’s almost as good as the fake news going around the presstitute media, such as the TV stations, the Washington Post, New York Times, and Guardian – yes, even the former leftwing British newspaper has joined the ranks of the press prostitutes – that the CIA has concluded that “Russian operatives covertly interfered in the election campaign in an attempt to ensure the Republican candidate’s victory.”     http://www.libertyheadlines.com/if-you-are-for-peace-you-are-a-russian-agent/?

Chuck Todd got put in his place by president-elect Trump's chief of staff  Reince Priebus.  Todd was pushing fake news without a specific source for saying the RNC was hacked by Russians.  As head of the RNC Reince Priebus told him that they WERE NOT hacked.  Nonetheless Todd persisted with his fake news mantra.   http://conservativetribune.com/russian-hacking-claim-priebus/?

Chris Hayes played the do not impugn the Islamic faith card in this piece.  Fake News is running rampant.     http://www.redstate.com/streiff/2016/12/20/you-wont-believe-what-msnbcs-chris-hayes-edited-out-of-this-video/

This idea that Russia somehow influenced the outcome of the November election is a bit far fetched. This piece discusses that topic.    http://www.wnd.com/2016/12/total-b-s-russian-election-hack-blasted-as-fake-news/    And, the FBI challenges the CIA claim that Russia was in any way involved.    http://www.libertyheadlines.com/fbi-disputes-cias-fuzzy-and-ambiguous-claims-that-russia-sought-to-influence-presidential-election/?

The New York Times has been reduced to a scandalous rag.    http://www.libertyheadlines.com/celebrities-hit-airwaves-beg-electors-vote-trump/? 

Though a bit of a parody, it contains much truth about the corrupt nature of a broad swath of the mainstream news media.  I hope people take to heart his closing remarks regarding the current state of journalism and make it happen.  I quote him:  "I write for the people who can envision WHAT COULD BE and will at least consider making their stand there.  Like many other people, I know what cynicism, despair, and passivity are. I’ve visited that land. I’ve checked into those motels. But in the end, they’re a joke. You know why? Because: what do they get you? They get you nothing. Zero.  At best, they get you the temporary hope that someone else will rescue you and drag you from the depths.  One thing that’s going to happen as independent news takes over from the old goofs: there will be information, more information about workable solutions to vital problems. People need to be ready for that.  They need to be ready for answers that are shocking because they ARE answers. It’ll seem surreal. Workable answers? What??  Yes. People will need to adjust their minds.  The business of news outlets without solutions will be eclipsed.  If you think this is impossible, then become a citizen journalist, and make it possible. No one of good will and intelligence needs to be on the outside looking in."   https://jonrappoport.wordpress.com/2016/12/09/the-spiritually-dead-gatekeepers-of-mainstream-news/

So sad how far the left leaning media has fallen.   http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2016/12/12/cia-russian-hacking-story-sham/?   

No wonder no media outlet wants to have anything to do with this unhinged liberal.    http://www.wnd.com/2016/12/ex-tv-newsman-has-meltdown-over-usurper-trump/  

Anyone who is paying attention is well aware of how notorious of a liar this person is.    http://conservativetribune.com/hillary-whines-about-fake-news/    Why and how people on the left can adore her so is beyond me.  She is a walking library of fake news.

Would it be fair to say that the Washington Post has engaged in producing fake news?    https://jonrappoport.wordpress.com/2016/12/12/washington-post-cia-connections-destroy-posts-election-hack-claim/

The Democrats have been pulling out all stops to take away Trump's election victory.  Thus far everything has failed.   http://www.libertyheadlines.com/paul-joseph-watson-dismantles-fabricated-russian-narrative/?

Much has been said about the leftwing controlled media's biased news coverage throughout the recent election cycle.  This item suggests that even NY Times' liberal clientele were not happy with their coverage.    http://www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/NY-Times-Flooded-Complaints-Election/2016/11/21/id/759986/?   Given their long commitment to leftist policies and personalities do not expect much if any change.  More fake news will emanate from leftist media.

Barbara Walters says ABC has destroyed the legacy of the TV show "The View".   It's unqualified hosts and obvious liberal bias combine to put it in the fake news camp.   http://freebeacon.com/culture/barbara-walters-abc-ruined-legacy-the-view/?

The mainstream media is not dead as this item claims but it is indeed dying for reasons cited and more.    http://www.shtfplan.com/headline-news/we-killed-the-mainstream-media-this-journalist-got-the-system-to-react-to-its-own-crimes_12072016

This is a sad commentary on the antics of disaffected Hillary supporters, and the mainstream media hawkers.  Quote: "If it weren’t for the Electoral College, New York City and Los Angeles would determine every national election outcome. There would be practically no point in Middle America even voting. Talk about voter suppression."  And, talk about fake news.   http://eaglerising.com/38619/hillary-supporters-threaten-members-of-electoral-college-ill-put-a-bullet-in-your-fat-fing-mouth/

Michael Moore is a well known radical leftist.  He is now joining hands with the anti-Trump rioters and promoting violence in the name of leftist politics.  Is not promoting violence against the law???  Or, is that now permissible with the fake news crowd?http://www.theblaze.com/news/2016/11/21/michael-moore-offers-trump-ominous-warning-of-protests-riots-to-come/    What happened to the Democrats' past support for having a peaceful transition of administrations?  It was front and center in their rhetoric while they thought Hillary was going to win.   They are well established hypocrites.
