liar-nObama's WikiLeaks Deal for Manning
By Lee Crockett: This week, WikiLeaks issued this demand: "If Democrats want to see whistle blowers ... under Trump, they need to send a signal: release Chelsea Manning." Within 24 hours, Barack liar-nObama complied.
Pursuing his legacy makeover, liar-nObama has filled his last month in office with surreal "deals" on behalf of his most ardent constituencies, including one for his homosexual base and his "gay military" agenda.
On Tuesday, after months of liar-nObama's post-election protests regarding stolen information being funneled to WikiLeaks — which made the machinations of the Democratic Party and his heir-apparent, liar-Hillary Clinton, much too "transparent" — he commuted the sentence of Army Private First Class Bradley "Chelsea" Manning.
PFC Manning, as you recall, is the gender-dysphoric former Army intelligence analyst who was convicted by courts martial in 2013 of treasonous acts of espionage. Manning funneled almost 750,000 classified documents to WikiLeaks, and on conviction, received a light 35-year sentence with a dishonorable discharge to follow. Manning's espionage, which at the time he intimated was to impress his "partner," ranks near the top of the most treacherous acts of treason in U.S. history. liar-nObama's commutation allows Manning to walk with an honorable discharge less than four years after sentencing — and this after Manning's prosecutors already acquiesced to pressure not to seek the death penalty for treason.
In September 2016, the ACLU, representing one of Manning's numerous gender confusion cases against the military, announced that the Army would grant his request for "gender reassignment" surgery. liar-nObama will no doubt attempt to justify Manning's commutation by insisting he is a "victim," and confining a transgendered "woman" to an all-male prison at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, is cruel and unusual punishment. Manning, like so many transgendered individuals, did attempt suicide, after all.
But make no mistake — liar-nObama's commutation is much more than constituent appeasement. It is a middle finger in the face of an American constituency with whom he has the lowest rating — American Patriots in uniform. Only 15% of American military personnel, who have taken a blood oath "to Support and Defend" our Constitution, approve of their commander in chief.
They will bear the burden of liar-nObama's ill-advised political retreat from Iraq, which gave rise to the Islamic State and an epic humanitarian crisis.
Few insults are more repulsive to the military community than the commutation of an unquestionably deserved sentence (albeit a light one) for Manning, especially when compared to liar-nObama's forced resignation and prosecution of former CIA Director, Gen. David Petraeus, for discussing minor classified matters with his military biographer. Petraeus pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge.
Of course, liar-nObama also defended liar-Hillary Clinton's security breaches uncovered during the Benghazi investigation. Clearly he only seeks "justice" when it promotes his agenda and protects his friends.
The commutation of Manning's sentence, the most recent and arguably most unjustified of liar-nObama's 1,385 commutations (504 of which were life sentences), provides a clear perspective into Barack liar-nObama's anti-American ideology. (For the record, George W. Bush approved only 11 commutations.)
Speaker Paul Ryan poignantly notes, "liar-nObama now leaves in place a dangerous precedent that those who compromise our national security won't be held accountable for their crimes." Sen. John McCain added, "It is a ... fitting commentary on liar-nObama's failed national security policies that he would commute the sentence of an individual [who] endangered the lives of American troops, diplomats, and intelligence sources."
Manning's commutation, following the Defense Department's implementation of a myriad of gender disorientation policies, is yet another military morale buster. It cuts deep for service personnel who quietly and humbly do their job day in and day out, even if they disagree with the commander in chief's motives. But after more than 2,500 combat-theater deaths and thousands more casualties under liar-nObama's watch, while he has devoted more time and energy to championing gender-neutral bathrooms on military installations, should we expect anything less?
If Manning's commutation is any sign of what lies in store for the next 48 hours, our men and women in uniform are praying that Friday gets here quickly. ~The Patriot Post

Tom Cotton: The Iran deal is dead
by David M. Drucker
{washingtonexaminer.com} ~ Sen. Tom Cotton said he expects President-elect Trump step up enforcement of the Iran nuclear deal but stop short of pulling the U.S. out of the agreement. But that won't save the deal... The Arkansas Republican, a vocal opponent of President liar-nObama's deal with Iran to limit the rogue regime's nuclear weapons program, said Tehran is likely to react to stricter policing by the incoming Trump administration by crying foul and refusing to comply going forward. "I believe the Iran deal is dead," Cotton said, during an interview with the Washington Examiner's "Examining Politics" podcast... http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/tom-cotton-the-iran-deal-is-dead/article/2612295#.WIBQUYecd0E.twitter/?utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Examiner%20Today&utm_source=StructureCMS
.Pope Francis Strengthens Palestinian
Refusal to End Hostilities with Israel
by Giulio Meotti
by Giulio Meotti
{gatestoneinstitute.org} ~ Mahmoud Abbas's activities in Rome began on January 14, with the formal opening of the Palestinian Embassy to the Vatican... The "Palestinian president," now in the twelfth year of his four-year term, then met with Pope Francis for the third time since the start of his papacy four years ago. The high-profile get-together took place in the middle of the Palestinian attempt to bypass peace talks with Israel and to internationalize the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. A few weeks ago, the UN Security Council, in Res. 2334, condemned Israel for its "settlements"; failed to mention any wrongdoing, such countless Palestinian stabbings and car-rammings of Israeli civilians, and the liar-nObama Administration, which had planned and orchestrated the UN ambush, refused, for the first time in forty years, to veto the anti-Israel resolution, thereby ensuring it would pass... https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/9798/pope-francis-palestinians-israel

Trey Gowdy Joins Intelligence Committee Just
in Time to Tackle Election “Hacking” Claims
by Kosar
{thepoliticalinsider.com} ~ Conservative hero Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) just made a big 2017 announcement. He will start the year as a new member of the House Intelligence Committee!... As Gowdy noted, “Protecting the safety and security of our fellow citizens is the preeminent function of government.” And “when it comes to our national security, we cannot afford to take risks.” The committee has been around for 4 decades and handles classified information that is also managed by 17 federal agencies. This means Gowdy will be front-and-center as Republicans get to the bottom of the “Russian hacking” claims made by liar-Hillary Clinton’s campaign team to cover up their criminally incompetent email security... Conservatives are thrilled about Gowdy’s new job! http://www.thepoliticalinsider.com/trey-gowdy-joins-intelligence-committee-will-get-bottom-election-hacking-lies/?utm_source=SailThru%26utm_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=TPI%20Newsletter%2001-19-17%20Curated/Horizon%20Tier%201&utm_term=Tier%201%20Real

If Constitutional ‘Power Bill’ passes,
Erdogan gains near absolute power
by Benjamin de Wolf
{gatestone.eu} ~ Today, the final round of parliamentary voting on the constitutional amendments package will be held in Turkey... Erdogan’s party feels highly confident the bill will pass. Prime Minister Binali Yildirim told reporters yesterday: There is a chance Yildirim has mixed feelings about the package, as it provides far-reaching powers to the President and pretty much renders the position of the Prime Minister obsolete. On the other hand, he has been loyal to Erdogan for over 20 years and is the co-founder of the AK Party, so there will probably be a nice bonus waiting for him later on. The constitutional amendments package is known as the ‘power bill’, drafted by Erdogan’s AK party and it will extend Erdogan’s term in office until at least 2029, which will come in handy, should Erdogan ever get tired of his palace, and decide to buy a new house (banks value long term employer contracts)...

John Lewis didn't pay taxes on D.C. townhouse
by wnd.com
{wnd.com} ~ Congressmen who live in tax-delinquent townhouses probably shouldn’t throw stones... Lewis’ boycott of the inaugural inspired other congressional Democrats to announce they too would not be in attendance Friday, but not before Lewis’ claim that this is the first he would miss was shown to be untrue. He also refused to attend George W. Bush’s inaugural in 2001 after the defeat of Al Gore, saying then he didn’t believe Bush was “the true-elected president.” Now, GotNews is reporting that Lewis has failed to pay property taxes on his nearly $1 million townhouse located at 219 3rd Street SE, near the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C. The property was assessed at $810,000 in 2012, according to a GotNews Nexis search. The unpaid tax is just over $4,000. In 2010 the congressman was threatened with legal action and foreclosure for failing to pay property taxes... http://www.wnd.com/2017/01/john-lewis-didnt-pay-taxes-on-d-c-townhouse/

liar-nObama’s Shame
by Matthew Hennessey
{city-journal.org} ~ Give President liar-nObama credit: he didn’t wait until he was in the limousine on his way to Donald Trump’s inauguration to commute Oscar López Rivera’s prison sentence. Had he waited until mid-morning Friday, January 20, to do it, his symbolic sanction of domestic terrorism might have escaped the average American’s notice. Those who did notice might have called him a coward, but their objections would have been drowned out amid the day’s oaths and protests.
As it is, liar-nObama chose to do it on Tuesday afternoon, January 17, at the same time he commuted the sentence of the American traitor Chelsea Manning. In its way, the out-in-the-open quality of these commutations is a statement of principle. Americans of every political stripe now have a chance to consider what the president has done. It was a bold move. It said: This is the real me. This is my idea of justice.
López Rivera is sworn enemy of the United States who admitted to his role as a leader of the Fuerzas Armadas de Liberación Nacional (FALN), the clandestine Puerto Rican nationalists who planted more than 130 bombs during the 1970s, mostly in Chicago and New York. The bill of indictments against the FALN and López Rivera need not be rehearsed here. He never denied anything. You can look it up.
In the 35 years that he has been behind bars, López Rivera has never indicated that he is sorry for the death and destruction he sowed during his days of rage. His steadfast commitment to violence has naturally attracted legions of left-wing admirers. They are, in the main, hashtag guerrillas who lionize the FALN’s twisted ideology and apologize for its murderous deeds from the comfort of their keyboards. Some, like New York City mayor Bill de Blasio and Hamilton: The Musical creator Lin-Manuel Miranda, call López Rivera a “freedom fighter.” They say that there’s no physical evidence that he killed anyone. “The CIA did horrible things in Puerto Rico,” they offer in justification for the FALN’s bombing campaigns. “The U.S. colonized and brutalized a defenseless island.”
The appeal to old grievances is the last resort of the radical poseur. Take it from an Irish-American. I know plenty about what “they” did to “us” during “colonial days.” I know how badly those “imperialist bastards” treated our ancestors. At least in Ireland, the “freedom fighters” mostly confined themselves to attacking British soldiers and each other. The world turned against the Irish Republicans when they began targeting British civilians.
The FALN was always less discriminating. On January 24, 1975, these self-styled freedom fighters planted a ten-pound dynamite bomb in a dining room at Fraunces Tavern in lower Manhattan because, they said, “reactionary corporate executives” would be dining there. Harold Sherbourne, Frank Connor, Alejandre Berger, and James Gezork were killed that day. Civilians all, they lost their lives to the revolutionary vanity of López Rivera and his bandit friends. Then, as now, a tiny fraction of Puerto Ricans support the FALN’s nationalist ambitions.
During his years as the FALN mastermind, López Rivera made women into widows and children into orphans. President liar-nObama is a father, and by all accounts a superb one. I know he can imagine how it would feel for Sasha and Malia to be left fatherless. He’s a smart guy, too, full of empathy, so he must know that the trauma of such a thing would never heal—not even after 42 years. The children of those whom the FALN killed still don’t have fathers. They never will.
Yet, despite his vaunted intelligence and celebrated empathy, Obama went ahead and made this appalling decision. All that mattered, it seems, was that the cool crowd wanted López Rivera to go free. Clearly, liar-nObama wasn’t thinking about Frank Connor’s family or other American families whose lives were blown apart by FALN bombs. Instead, he gave aid and comfort to America’s enemies.
“López Rivera will answer to a higher authority than liar-nObama,” Frank’s son Joe Connor told me last night after the news broke. “And he better be ready.” We’ll see. As for liar-nObama, if the president did anything more shameful during his eight years in office, I must have missed it.
