"My message right now goes to Sheriff War of Harney County...Sheriff David Ward you could have prevented the Hammonds from going to prison. They had to suffer for two and a half years because you would not look at the evidence, you would not look at the facts. The same facts that President Trump looked at and pardoned the Hammonds upon.... You wouldn't look at the abuses and you allowed federal agencies to come, the FBI and other agencies to come and influence you and convince you that we somehow were dangeorus and the Hammonds had to suffer for that....

Democratic National Committee (DNC) chairman Tom Perez introduced former President Barack Obama as America’s “real president” at a DNC fundraiser Thursday night. “Let’s give it up for the real president of the United States,” Perez said at Thursday’s fundraiser, Politico reported. Obama reportedly then told the crowd of Democratic donors that they are “right to be concerned” about Trump’s presidency. Perez’s false descriptor for Obama is just the latest instance of prominent Democrats abandoning political norms in order to undermine President Trump. Obama has sharply broken with precedent by repeatedly attacking Trump. When Obama left office, the existing standard was...

Those being harassed and hounded out of public spaces can take it for granted that the mobs are being sent by ‘Maxine The Obama Knife’, living in peace in her $4.5-million Los Angeles mansion Now loudly leading the Battle Front for the Barack Obama ‘Resistance’ Team—‘Maxine The Knife’. California Congresswoman Maxine Waters has ordered “MORE public harassment of Trump aides in public spaces”. (American Mirror, June 24, 2018) As her supervisor Obama once infamously suggested to his followers, ‘get out there and get right in their face’.

"Our message absolutely is don't send your children unaccompanied, on trains or through a bunch of smugglers," Obama told ABC News on Thursday. "We don't even know how many of these kids don't make it, and may have been waylaid into sex trafficking or killed because they fell off a train." "Do not send your children to the borders," Obama said. "If they do make it, they'll get sent back. More importantly, they may not make it."

Barack Obama was born in the U.S. It was his own book publisher that started the false rumor that he was born in Kenya. NPR later repeated the false claim. Barack Obama was born in the U.S.According to this 2012 article from ABC News, in 1991 Obama’s own book publisher printed a paper pamphlet which said that Obama was “born in Kenya.” An employee of the publisher said that it was a “fact checking error” of hers that caused this to happen, and that the false information did not come from Obama. The bolding is mine:https://web.archive.org/web/20120518040015/http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/OTUS/born-kenya-obamas-literary-agent-misidentified-birthplace-1991/story?id=16372566#.WDjC8FxHR_k‘Born in Kenya’: Obama’s Literary Agent...

In the lead-up to this year’s G7 summit in Quebec, Canadian officials were explicit: women and children were going to be central, and an essential component of their health and empowerment is abortion. But when the final declarations were released, all language about “reproductive rights” was removed, and, according to Devex, “the U.S. delegation…was responsible for the softer official language.” Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, following the famous example of Sweden, has characterized his government and its foreign policy as “feminist.” He employs quotas to ensure that half his cabinet members are women and imposes regulations on his party to...

Anti-Trump Trudeau will be too busy trying to save his own hide to do Obama’s dirty work for him According to his official itinerary, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is taking a ‘personal’ day off today, and fun that it’s been, you can bet the farm that it’s not to find a more reliable glue to make his eyebrows stick. Trudeau, who blew a whopping 600-million Canadian taxpayer dollars creating a still raging firestorm at the weekend’s G-7 summit in rural Quebec, is more than likely looking for ways to cover the deceit of what White House Trade Advisor Peter...

Hollywood’s favorite nonfiction President of the United States is coming back to town this month for some of that Tinseltown cash he hoovered up so well while in office. Barack Obama will be the star attraction on June 28 at a Democratic National Committee fundraiser that is expected to raise some big bucks. The as yet unrevealed Beverly Hills shindig is also expected to see big industry names hobnobbing with the 44th POTUS, like they did in the good old days when he was in the White House. “I am very excited to announce that President Barack Obama will be...

President Trump on Tuesday slammed Democrats who shared pictures of child migrants sleeping in cages to knock his immigration policies, only to backtrack after realizing the photos were taken during the Obama administration. “Democrats mistakenly tweet 2014 pictures from Obama’s term showing children from the Border in steel cages,” Trump tweeted. “They thought it was recent pictures in order to make us look bad, but backfires.”

The Obama Foundation is trying to generate as much public support as possible ahead of the city of Chicago's first municipal vote to approve construction permits that would allow the Obama Presidential Center to be built on historic parkland. The foundation's chief engagement officer, Michael Strautmanis, emailed "friends" of the project late last week asking them to show up at City Hall at 5 a.m. Thursday to demonstrate to city officials that local residents are behind it. Attendees were told to pick up Obama swag — T-shirts and buttons — from the organization's local headquarters ahead of Thursday. Although the...

Of all the things Barack Obama said that annoyed me--and the list was long--right up there was his frequent misuse of MLK's statement that “the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.” That statement was deeply religious in its foundation. But Obama used it to somehow suggest that the triumph of left-wing politics is inevitable. Joe Scarborough has come up with a variation on the theme. On today's Morning Joe, trying to explain why Trump staffers leak, Scarborough said: "They want to be on the right side of history . . . They know this presidency...

The vaunted “echo chamber” that President Barack Obama’s aide Ben Rhodes created to sell the Iran deal was quiet on Monday, in the aftermath of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s revelations of new intelligence proving that Iran had lied to the world about its nuclear weapons program. Netanyahu presented a trove of over 100,000 files, both paper and electronic, that he said Israel had obtained from a “vault” where Iran had stored an archive of its nuclear research. The files included diagrams of nuclear detonation devices, nuclear warhead designs, and plans for nuclear testing sites, among other incriminating information.

Colorado Democrats hope to convince their fellow state lawmakers to rename a stretch of Interstate 25 the “Barack Obama Highway.” The measure passed a House panel by a 12-1 vote Thursday, but could eventually face opposition in the Republican-controlled Senate. The bill would apply to the portion of the interstate that runs through Denver in recognition of the 2008 Democratic National Convention, which the city hosted. It was there that Obama accepted the party's nomination for president. Several states have renamed stretches of roads after the 44th president, including California, Illinois, Indiana, Florida and Missouri. Florida leads the way with...

On Saturday, actor James Woods reached out to alumni of Columibia University, asking for photo evidence that former President Barack Obama actually attended the school. As of this writing, the tweet received over 35,000 likes and was shared over 14,000 times. “Hey, if any of you went to Columbia University and recall Barack Obama as a student there, would you please respond with a tweet and a pic of him at Columbia? Thanks,” he tweeted.

Under oath will members of congress ask Zuckerberg the right questions? I suspect not as most of them have apparently gotten money from Facebook. The questions I'd like to hear him answer: Which organizations received data, in any quantity, similar to what Cambridge Analytica received?Did Facebook directly or indirectly share information, in any quantity, with Hillary Clinton campaigns?Did Facebook directly or indirectly share information, in any quantity, with Barack Obama campaigns?Did and does Facebook directly or indirectly share information, in any quantity, with China or any other country?Aside from what Facebook directly or indirectly shared, in any quantity, are you...

Liberals never complained when the news was controlled by a handful of outlets all spouting the same left-wing line. To the contrary, just last week, Barack Obama waxed nostalgic over those good old days: “It used to be in the United States that there were three television stations, basically everybody watched the same thing, everybody got their news from the same sources, so everybody more or less had a similar view of the world.” But now that the liberal monopoly of the media has been broken, suddenly the left is outraged and appalled. Today’s opening segment of Morning Joe was...

Obama! Obama! Why hast thou obandoned us! Ah, the good life! Kitesurfing in the Caribbean! Sampling exotic foods throughout Asia! Anticipating multi-million dollar book deals! Such are the wonderful perks of a post-presidency.  Very nice for Barack Obama but for the rest of the Democrats? Not so hot. That is the premise of James Wolcott in the April edition of Vanity Fair. The writer who fantasized about a revenge-tinged "reckoning" following an imagined Trump expulsion from office is now grumbling about Obama enjoying himself way too much while ignoring the Democrats in "CAN OBAMA RESCUE THE DEMOCRATS?" with a subtitle...

Former President Obama said on Sunday that he would like to create "a million young Barack Obamas" to run the next stage in the "relay race that is human progress," the Washington Examiner reported. Obama reportedly made the comment at a conference in Japan while discussing the Obama Foundation’s work to help young people around the world get connected using the internet. “If I could do that effectively, then — you know — I would create a hundred or a thousand or a million young Barack Obamas or Michelle Obamas,” Obama said. “Or, the next group of people who could...
