Obama had to spy on Trump to protect himself. The spying ramped up after Trump’s win when the results could no longer be used to engineer a Hillary victory, but would instead have to be used to cripple and bring down President Trump. Headed out the door, Rice was still unmasking the names of Trump’s people while Obama was making it easier to pass around raw eavesdropped data to other agencies. Obama had switched from spying on a political opponent to win an election, to spying on his successor to undo the results of the election. Abuse of power by...

Michael Caputo subs on Friday Dec 27. I thought hour three was the best. At 14 minute 20 second mark, Michael presents a nice summary of regime change in Serbia, Georgia, Ukraine, and that playbook is now used in the USA. Why the Progressive's may deploy violence in 2020

Former President Barack Obama has once again lashed out at the Trump administration and Senate Republicans, this time during a virtual fundraiser for former Vice President Joe Biden’s White House campaign on Tuesday. Obama accused President Trump of taking a “shambolic, disorganized, mean spirited approach to government,” which he judged as antithetical to American values. The former president stated:

Pretty good mashup video of what a Trump vs. Obama debate would look like.

Former President Barack Obama implicitly criticized President Donald Trump’s media habits in a speech on Wednesday. During a Splunk tech conference, Obama said it was helpful as president to have a diverse staff offering a wide range of advice on the issues of the day. “The other thing that is helpful is not watching TV or reading social media,” he added pointedly, according to Axios. He warned about people living in “filter bubbles” of information, made worse by social media. “That’s not healthy for a democracy and it’s not healthy between countries,” he said. “That’s how wars get started and...

In a final scene of the Netflix documentary “American Factory,” the chairman of a Chinese auto glass company walks through the sprawling floor of one of the company’s factories in Dayton, Ohio, as an aide points to different departments where employees will soon be replaced by robotic arms and other machines. “We’re hoping to cancel four workers in July or August,” the aide tells him, almost proudly, before adding, “They are too slow.” Scenes like this are typical in the film, which depicts the fallout after Shanghai-based Fuyao Glass revives a former GM plant and hires many of its former...

Hold onto your hats. At last, we are on the verge of getting to the bottom of the weaponization of the nation’s top law enforcement and spy agencies to spy on political opponents, and it is far bigger than obtaining bogus FISA Court warrants to spy on Carter Page. Barack Obama’s minions have been spying on his political opponents since before his 2012 re-election, and the entire Russiagate hoax was an effort to cover-up that ongoing spying. As I have stated before, the best sources for understanding the unfolding of the biggest political scandal in American history are DC super-lawyers...

A vendetta (blood feud) against PDJT by 0bama began when Trump raised the issue of 0bama's missing birth certificate as a guest on The View in March, 2011. Stung by Trump’s questions, one month later 0bama published a demonstrably forged BC. Exposure of the fake birth certificate threatens 0bama like nothing else. Can you imagine the horror and disbelief in 0bama when Trump (his most prominent birth certificate skeptic) became President and now has the power to lay bare 0bama’s many lies? This IMO was the single most compelling reason that 0bama joined (if not led) the Steele Dossier “insurance...

Former President Barack Obama is no longer pushing his agenda from the White House, but he is still in charge of the nationwide network of volunteers who helped get him elected and are now setting their sights on November’s midterm election. Born in 2008, Obama for America (OFA) morphed into Organizing for America so it could legally have access to 13,000 email addresses amassed during two presidential campaigns. The newly minted OFA was under the Democratic Party umbrella, which is allowed to use the emails, with staff remaining in OFA’s Chicago office, but a new one opened in D.C. OFA’s...

If you believe recent media accounts, the former Democratic president has suddenly transcended the political fray. It’s as if a newly “Zen-like” Barack Obama is content to just write his memoir and let Donald Trump and Republicans write the next chapter of history. In a cover story asking “Where is Barack Obama?” for example, New York magazine concluded that the 44th president has “virtually disappeared” from the political scene and is sitting idly by as his legacy is dismantled piece by piece. From an exclusive interview, the periodical concluded Obama was “modeling his political engagement out of office after George...

Barack Obama is desperate. His legacy, such as it was, has been slowly dismantled by President Trump and the GOP. The media will have you believe there is a major backlash and point to Pelosi winning the House, but they ignore the GOP picked up seats in the Senate. No, the country is still divided and the 2020 election will most probably determine the course of the country for the next twenty years. So Barack is getting involved with a new plan to stop Trump. It will fail. Because America gambled on Obama and he did not follow through on...

President Trump on Monday criticized President Obama for a 2016 claim that Trump would need a “magic wand” to deliver on his promises to boost U.S. manufacturing employment. In a Monday tweet, Trump misquoted Obama’s June 2016 criticism of his economic agenda that came shortly after Trump had all but officially clinched the Republican presidential nomination. Trump quoted Obama as saying, “President Trump would need a magic wand to get to 4% GDP,” at a PBS Newshour town hall event in 2016.“President Trump would need a magic wand to get to 4% GDP,” stated President Obama,” Trump tweeted. “I guess...

A shadow government made up of former Obama climate change aides...funded by wealthy environmental advocates is supplementing liberal governors in an “off-the-books” operation to help them win approval of sweeping global warming changes and defy President Trump...In it’s “Government for Rent” report, the Competitive Enterprise Institute 'published' dozens of emails detailing the scheme............. “The summit is 'part of a larger scheme', in which governors’ offices are coordinating with activists and donors, who in turn are underwriting a massive, 'off-the-books campaign' to provide staff and other resources to elected officials,” said CEI. “The modus operandi revealed in the documents excerpted in...

President Obama on Friday urged Americans to vote because “our democracy depends on it,” saying the stakes are higher than any other election in his lifetime. “I’m here to deliver a simple message: You need to vote because our democracy depends on it,” Obama said at a speech at the University of Illinois, as he wades back into the political fray. "But just a glance at recent headlines should tell you that this moment really is different,” he said. “The stakes really are higher. The consequences of any of us sitting on the sidelines are more dire." Obama later in...

Former President Barack Obama told Democrats on Thursday night that they are right to feel concerned about the state of the country under President Trump’s leadership. Obama made some of his most direct comments about the current administration yet at a Democratic National Committee fundraiser in Beverly Hills, Politico reported Thursday. “Do not wait for the perfect message, don’t wait to feel a tingle in your spine because you’re expecting politicians to be so inspiring and poetic and moving that somehow, ‘OK, I’ll get off my couch after all and go spend the 15-20 minutes it takes for me to...

When former President Barack Obama said he was “heartened” by anti-Trump protests, he was sending a message of approval to his troops. Troops? Yes, Obama has an army of agitators — numbering more than 30,000 — who will fight his Republican successor at every turn of his historic presidency. And Obama will command them from a bunker less than two miles from the White House. In what’s shaping up to be a highly unusual post-presidency, Obama isn’t just staying behind in Washington. He’s working behind the scenes to set up what will effectively be a shadow government to not only protect his...

As president, Barack Obama repeatedly mocked Donald Trump’s political ambitions, laughing at the idea of Trump ever winning the presidency. Obama mocked Trump in 2011 for calling into question whether he was born in America. Obama viciously attacked Trump for the controversy, before mocking the idea of Trump ever serving in the White House. Obama's comments on Trump from the White House transcript of the event: "Now, I know that he’s taken some flak lately, but no one is happier, no one is prouder to put this birth certificate matter to rest than the Donald. (Laughter.) And that’s because he...

Far from content living his golden years on the $400,000 speech and lecture circuit of other former presidents, President Obama has been busy with clawing back his old power. He's actually covertly plotting to oust his democratically elected successor, President Trump, vowing to his associates to "rip him a new one" in the 2018 midterm elections. Seems he's not all that interested in watching his younger daughter grow up. That's the word from DCWhispers, which reports that Obama's Kalorama mansion, in the heart of the capital's toniest district, is the center of significant comings and goings among the Obamatons, who,...

(CNN) - During a conversation with David Letterman on his new Netflix program, former President Barack Obama issued a stern warning for the current commander in chief: "One of the things that Michelle figured out, in some ways faster than I did, was part of your ability to lead the country doesn't have to do with legislation, doesn't have to do with regulations, it has to do with shaping attitudes, shaping culture, increasing awareness." Although Obama was extremely hesitant about directly commenting about President Donald Trump, the message he sent was clear. And it comes in the wake of the...

A new report reveals several key aides to the Obama administration plotted a coup against President Trump in a desperate effort to stay in power. One America’s Kristian Rouz has more on the Deep State’s war against the president. (VIDEO)
