A New Dawn, A New Don
Steyn Online ^ | 19 Jan 2017 | Mark Steyn

Posted on 01/20/2017 12:59:47 AM PST by Rummyfan

Obama? I've got nothing to add to what I've said these last eight years. But I'll reprise one of my favorite details from his largely fictitious biography, from page 141 of The [Un]documented Mark Steyn:

Courtesy of David Maraniss' new book, we now know that yet another key prop of Barack Obama's identity is false: His Kenyan grandfather was not brutally tortured or even non-brutally detained by his British colonial masters. The composite gram'pa joins an ever-swelling cast of characters from Barack's "memoir" who, to put it discreetly, differ somewhat in reality from their bit parts in the grand Obama narrative. The best friend at school portrayed in Obama's autobiography as "a symbol of young blackness" was, in fact, half Japanese, and not a close friend. The white girlfriend he took to an off-Broadway play that prompted an angry post-show exchange about race never saw the play, dated Obama in an entirely different time zone, and had no such world-historically significant conversation with him. His Indonesian step-grandfather, supposedly killed by Dutch soldiers during his people's valiant struggle against colonialism, met his actual demise when he "fell off a chair at his home while trying to hang drapes."

But ask not for whom the drapes hang, they hang for thee: today it's curtains for Barack Obama, and curtain up for Donald Trump.

Obama is the essence of Modern Liberalism.

Not to be confused with Classic Liberalism, it’s opposite. Which is anti-Monarchist anti-Statist. It provides for the maximum possible Liberty and chains government to allow that.

The reality of Modern Liberalism exists within the boundaries of Illusion, Lies, Deception and Fraud. As totally Conjured as Obama’s Past. It turns citizens into slaves to the Totalitarian State.

Well this transition should go easy then, since Obama already has plenty of experience packing his sh*t.

Isn’t that why he keeps Reggie Love around??

I learned a new word today: goal (jail or cage)

a prison, esp. one for the detention of persons awaiting trial or convicted of minor offenses.

Usage notes:

Gaol was the more common spelling between about 1760 and 1830, and is still preferred in proper names in some (Australian) regions.

Usually FR is a ghost town at these hours.

People are up and about in DC just before dawn.

I’m so excited, I couldn’t sleep.

In 2009 and 2013, I shrugged off Inauguration Day. Not for me.

This year the feeling is completely different.

And we have 5 hours to go before Trump is sworn in as President.

♫ Birds flying high you know how I feel
   Sun in the sky you know how I feel
   Breeze driftin' on by you know how I feel

   It's a new Don,
   It's a new day
   [Next a new wife]
   and I'm feeling good. ♫

Love, Nina

So drape hanging is a family tradition for the fictitious obama clan. I am not surprised.
