As the Obama chapter of American history draws to a close, it would be fitting to write a reflection on Obama’s story, but the problem is, where does it start? Since Obama first became a public figure, two competing versions of his birth have circulated: one claiming he was born in Kenya and one claiming Hawaii. The purpose of this article is to assemble some of the primary sources documenting the history of these competing narratives, as a step towards determining why there are two stories and which--if either--is true.Obama’s 1990 Birthplace Joke: “I was born in Oslo, Norway”Obama’s earliest...

[Order Jamie Glazov’s new best-selling and critically-acclaimed book: Barack Obama’s True Legacy: How He Transformed America.]Perhaps the greatest service of Barack Obama’s True Legacy, the recently published collection of penetrating essays on the Obama presidency by a number of knowledgeable and trenchant authors, edited by Jamie Glazov, is its contribution to collective memory.President Obama’s assault on Americans’ constitutional rights and protections as well as on the nation’s constitutionally defined governmental institutions and their respective authority entailed myriad particulars. It included undermining of First Amendment guarantees of freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and religious freedom. It extended to usurpation...

Someone is lying. According to Obama's Kenyan (paternal) grandmother, as well as his half-brother and half-sister, Barack Hussein Obama was born in Kenya, not in Hawaii as the Democratic candidate for president claims. His grandmother bragged that her grandson is about to be President of the United States and is so proud because she was present DURING HIS BIRTH IN KENYA, in the delivery room. -This, according to several news sites and Pennsylvania attorney Philip J. Berg (see video below) who is, surprisingly, a life long democrat himself. Berg is the former Deputy Attorney General of Pennsylvania, and he has...

We know Barack Hussein Obama is a Muslim. He has said he'll stand with the Muslims with things get ugly in his book. He has said the future must not belong to those who slander the Prophet Mohammed. He has said Muslims built America. He has threatened to shoot down Israeli jets. He has given the Muslim "one finger in the air" sign last summer. Obama has justified ISIS actions by saying "The Crusades" just as ISIS has done in many videos. He has a ring that says there is no God but Allah. But what kind of Muslim is...

Tennessee Congressman Tim Burchett just went there.In an explosive interview with Benny Johnson, Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) didn’t hold back, tearing into Barack Obama’s sudden political rise and his administration’s alarming proximity to convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.While the mainstream media continues to run cover for the Democrat elite, Burchett is asking the questions they refuse to touch: How did Jeffrey Epstein operate so freely while Obama was in the White House?The conversation kicked off with breaking news regarding Kathryn Ruemmler, Obama’s former White House Counsel, who recently resigned from Goldman Sachs.Ruemmler’s name has surfaced repeatedly in connection to Epstein, raising...

President Donald Trump accused Obama of attempting to conduct a “coup” during the 2016 election and called for his arrest in a post on his Truth Social account Thursday. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has just released HUNDREDS OF BOMBSHELL RUSSIAGATE DOCUMENTS proving that Barack Obama personally ordered CIA agents to manufacture false intelligence on President Trump and was actively “working with the enemy” to undermine and erode Americans’ confidence in our democracy and President Trump’s LANDSLIDE 2016 VICTORY. This was a coup attempt by Barack Hussain Obama and his cronies… As Jesse Watters said “Whatever happens to these...

Here is video of Sen. John McCain last night, correcting President Obama's Hirohito gaffe, and then commenting on Obama's Afghanistan speech. Sean Hannity led into the interview with McCain by showing clips from Obama statements over the last two years regarding his view on the importance of Afghanistan, and his unwillingness to use the word "victory." He played the clip of Obama saying he is "worried about using the word 'victory,' because it invokes the image of Hirohito coming down and signing the surrender to MacArthur." Problem is, Japanese Emperor Hirohito did not sign the surrender on the Battleship Missouri....

YOU WILL NOT BELIEVE THIS, ABSOLUTELY WILL NOT - AT 9:15 A.M. ET: A number of commentators have noticed President Obama's appalling ignorance of history. The gaps were on full display during his speech in Cairo to the Muslim world, in which he did some hefty rewriting of the historical facts. He also is on record as saying they speak Austrian in Austria. But this takes the prize. Consider - the president of the United States on the history of World War II: President Obama has put securing Afghanistan near the top of his foreign policy agenda, but "victory" in...

Not a good week for President Obama. He's created the whole police "acted stupidly" fiasco. Now he has made another historical gaffe, this time by saying Japanese Emperor Hirohito signed the surrender of Japan to Gen Douglas MacArthur in 1945. Problem is: Hirohito didn't sign the surrender! On September 2, 1945, General Yoshijiro Umezu and Foreign Minister Mamoru Shigemitsu represented Japan in signing the Instrument of Surrender aboard the Battleship Missouri. Here's video of the surrender . . . . . Obama used the incorrect historical reference to support his statement that "victory" is not necessarily our goal in Afghanistan:...

The president of the United States landed in Paris on Monday, his mouth full of grave and ominous reproaches for the heedless. Climate change, the central topic of the world summit he expects to lead, must be dealt with. Do we hear that? Must be dealt with! Or else. "I believe, in the words of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., that there is such a thing as being too late," affirms the president. "And when it comes to climate change, that hour is almost upon us." But to be believed you have to be believable, a point that hardly ever...

🚨DNI Tulsi Gabbard declassifies document showing the Obama administration manufactured the bogus Russia Hoax pic.twitter.com/VDlbPiyMLG— TheBlaze (@theblaze) July 18, 2025

EXCLUSIVE: The Obama administration "manufactured and politicized intelligence" to create the narrative that Russia was attempting to influence the 2016 presidential election, despite information from the intelligence community stating otherwise, Fox News Digital has learned. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard Friday declassified documents revealing "overwhelming evidence" that demonstrates how, after President Donald Trump won the 2016 election against Hillary Clinton, then-President Barack Obama and his national security team laid the groundwork for what would be the yearslong Trump–Russia collusion probe. Documents revealed that in the months leading up to the November 2016 election, the intelligence community consistently assessed that...

Barack Obama spent this week doing what Barack Obama loves to do most — making headlines about Barack Obama talking about what a wonderful guy Barack Obama is. My Townhall colleague Leah Barkoukis had some of the details earlier this week, after Obama lectured Dems to get out of their “fetal positions” and “toughen up,” as the party's approval rating sank to a new all-time low of just 19%. "Remember when we did all that winning when I, Barack Obama, was in charge? Yeah, that was awesome." Then there's this gem from Obama's appearance Wednesday on Michelle Obama and her...

A Biden-appointed judge dismissed a lawsuit against the Trump administration on Thursday brought by FBI agents who worked on Jan. 6 investigations. Agents’ concerns that the Department of Justice (DOJ) would retaliate and publicly disclose a list of those who worked on Jan. 6 cases are “too speculative,” Judge Jia Cobb, a Biden appointee, wrote in her 32-page opinion finding the agents lack standing to sue. “They do not plausibly allege that Defendants are about to engage in any of the conduct agents are worried about,” she wrote. Agents sued early in February after leadership instructed them to complete a...

(Jul. 16, 2025) — On June 18, former Maricopa County, AZ Sheriff Joseph M. Arpaio began tweeting about the investigation his office opened into the “long-form” birth certificate image of then-sitting president Barack Hussein Obama II. Arpaio launched the probe in August 2011 after a group of more than 200 constituents approached him with concerns that if the image, released on the White House website on April 27 proved to be fraudulent as several experts asserted, their votes in the 2012 presidential election would be disenfranchised. ... continue reading at: https://www.thepostemail.com/2025/07/16/is-the-truth-about-the-obama-birth-certificate-about-to-emerge/

"The invasion of Iraq was not an act of revenge or justice. (Just as the bombing of the Ploesti fields was not an act of pique at the occupied Romanians.)From the Time Traveler's perspective -- and from the Bush Administration's perspective -- the Iraq invasion is seen as the second move in a very serious chess game in which the only absolute goal is to neutralize an opponent's ability (and stated goal) to acquire and deliver weapons of mass destruction more devastating than fully fueled Boeing 737's."......" The point here is that we can argue that the second move in...

"It never occurred to me in my earlier creations of these freewheeling monthly or bimonthly "Messages from Dan" that I would have to write a Message about a previous Message. But it seems obvious that I must do just that. (For those visitors who may have missed the April 2006 Message, please find it in the archives linked above—or be warned that what follows here will be very cryptic, at best.)"... Other forum-posters were incensed that I could not see the true evil stalking the world today—the United States of America, with the mendacious madman George W. Bush at the...

October 2012 Message from DanWhy I Voted For Barack Obama in 2008:Dear Readers, Friends, and other Visitors:Yes, this is that most dreaded of things this time in an election year – yet another political comment. We’re all tired of them – especially when they come from some actor or “celebrity” or otherwise totally uninformed and irrelevant person. I don’t even rise to the level of “minor celebrity” – outside of my moderate band of readers I’m unknown – and I have no pretense to relevance this election year. The only thing that might entitle me to a political opinion...
