A State Department official and several congressional aides say the outgoing administration formally notified Congress it would spend the money Friday morning, just before Donald Trump became president.
More than $227 million in foreign affairs funding was released at the time, including $4 million for climate change programs and $1.25 million for U.N. organizations.
At least two GOP lawmakers had placed holds on the Palestinian funds. Congressional holds are generally respected by the executive branch but are not legally binding.

I can’t imagine with all the good news lately that Obama and Clinton get away scott free.
Freeze it. Stop payment.
Their day will come. Give it some more time.
A true enemy of the state. Anybody with a brain knows this.
It is baffling how many people refuse to see he is Muslim to the very core of his black heart.
Tony Blair came out as a Catholic about a year after he left office. It is my possibly misinformed conviction that no Papist could ever be elected PM to Henry VIII’s successor. Hence the lifelong deception. It is my fondest fantasy that BHO, after the smoke clears a bit, will follow suit and profess his Muslim faith, too. Oh. Please! Please! Please!
He professes in Arabic every time he says the shahada
Patriots are reminded that the Founding States gave the power of the purse uniquely to the House of Representatives (1.7.1). So although the mixed up media is blaming lawless Obama for all kinds of things, corrupt Congress ultimately has the constitutional responsibility for Obama’s last-minute “gift” to the Palestinians whether Congress want’s it or not imo.
Also consider that Justice Joseph Story had noted that Congress’s constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers don’t include taxing and spending for foreign aid.
“If the tax be not proposed for the common defence, or general welfare, but for other objects, wholly extraneous, (as for instance, for propagating Mahometanism among the Turks, or giving aids and subsidies to a foreign nation, to build palaces for its kings, or erect monuments to its heroes,) it would be wholly indefensible upon constitutional principles [emphases added].” — Justice Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution 2 (1833) .
And not only did corrupt Congress let Obama get away with unconstitutional foreign aid, but corrupt Congress should never have approprated taxes for that purpose.
Drain the swamp! Drain the swamp!
Remember in November ’18 !
Since Trump entered the ’16 presidential race too late for patriots to make sure that there were state sovereignty-respecting candidates on the primary ballots, patriots need make sure that such candidates are on the ’18 primary ballots so that they can be elected to support Trump in draining the unconstitutionally big federal government swamp.
Such a Congress will also be able to finish draining the swamp with respect to getting the remaining state sovereignty-ignoring, activist justices off of the bench.
Noting that the primaries start in Iowa and New Hampshire in February ‘18, patriots need to challenge candidates for federal office in the following way.
Patriots need to qualify candidates by asking them why the Founding States made the Constitution’s Section 8 of Article I; to limit (cripple) the federal government’s powers.
Patriots also need to find candidates that are knowledgeable of the Supreme Court's clarifications of the federal government’s limited powers listed below.
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
”State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress [emphasis added].” —Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
“He funded more terrorism. This has to be stopped.”
How did Obama fund the Palestinians with $221 million without approval of the House and Senate?
That’s treasonous. Not that anything’s wrong with that. (Seinfeld sarc.)
Not his money, what the hell does he care? One last theft from the bottomless cookie jar he will miss..

No just submit the bill for his payment of the funds to the treasury department against any payments to him. Also garnish any payments he may receive for books or speeches.
STOP PAYMENT ON THE “CHECK” —— NOW!!
Hey Liz,
Do you see any connection between this huge gift to Palestine and the workings of the Boobamba Foundation? What’s your hunch?
Obama and Kerry’s last acts of anti-Semitism and anti-Israel. Well done comrades. You just cost the Dems more congressional and local political offices in the future.
WE WILL NOT LET OUR JEWISH BRETHERN FORGET THIS LAST ACT OF BETRAYAL BY BARACK “JUDAS’ OBAMA AND JOHN “F*CKING TRAITOR” KERRY.
