liar-nObama's False Reality
Yesterday, Barack liar-nObama delivered his final lecture, er, speech to the U.S. military. In his all-too-familiar pattern, liar-nObama wove an eloquent farce. Seeking to deflect responsibility for facilitating the rise of the Islamic State, liar-nObama said, "There's been a debate about ISIL that's focused on whether a continued U.S. troop presence in Iraq back in 2011 could have stopped the threat of ISIL from growing. And as a practical matter, this was not an option. ... In addition, maintaining American troops in Iraq at the time could not have reversed the forces that contributed to ISIL's rise." liar-nObama seeks to have it both ways: Claim credit for keeping his ideologically driven campaign promise to end the war in Iraq, while blaming George W. Bush for allegedly creating a situation where liar-nObama was unable to keep a sizable military presence in Iraq.
liar-nObama then pivoted and suggested that ISIL is not really the significant threat to the U.S. that many Americans know it to be. He stated, "Today's terrorists can kill innocent people, but they don't pose an existential threat to our nation, and we must not make the mistake of elevating them as if they do." For liar-nObama, the only significant "existential threat" facing the nation is climate change.
The outgoing commander in chief has at times acted as though he were the most limited president in history, while at other times he has exercised almost dictatorial power to go around Congress in order to implement his agenda. liar-nObama has always had an excuse ready for why his policies have failed. Either A) it wasn't his plan so it's not his fault or B) Congress prevented him from acting according to his policy plans so it's not his fault. Some people might think liar-nObama is an eloquent speaker, but speeches don't create reality. There's a reason fairytales are sold in the fiction section of the local book store.
After eight years under liar-nObama's watch, America finds itself facing a terrorist threat every bit as dangerous as we faced on 9/11. Sadly, liar-nObama, rather than take the enemy seriously, has sought to convince the American people that the Islamic State really isn't that big of a problem. It makes one wonder if he believes he can perform what he once errantly called a "Jedi mind meld" on the American populace. ~The Patriot Post

OPINION IN BRIEF
OPINION IN BRIEF
Ariel Rabkin: "In America, we allow both broadsheet newspapers and supermarket tabloids to be sold. The underlying philosophy of the First Amendment (and free speech generally) is that society should leave people to make their own truth judgements, and should not rely on appointed authorities to promulgate truth and suppress falsehood. The technology industry stands on solid philosophical ground with its desire to concentrate on building content-neutral platforms, rather than to be the world's arbiter of fact. We should be humble about the capacities of our current technology. If you Google 'does New Zealand exist,' the search results include a factbox titled 'New Zealand: The Country That Doesn't Exist.' If Google's technology can be made to doubt the existence of a sizeable English-speaking democracy that shows up in satellite imagery, it might be overly ambitious to expect them to solve the general problem of separating truth and fiction. ... The history of science, politics, and philosophy demonstrate that even intelligent, educated, and well-meaning humans often believe foolish things. Technology is not going to change that. Intellectual honesty has always been a difficult virtue to practice, and no algorithmic cleverness is likely to change that." ~The Patriot Post

Tucker Carlson Humiliates, Wipes The Floor
With Distorting Dem Congressman
by Rick Wells
{rickwells.us} ~ Tucker Carlson opens what is a very entertaining segment with Democrat Congressman Adam Schiff with a quote from a letter he was a signatory to a letter seeking a briefing on supposed Russian hacking during the election campaign... Carlson quotes the letter, which claims that “Russia hacked our political institutions by, among other things, giving us access to John Podesta’s emails in WikiLeaks.” Carlson states that he is against hacking personal emails but asks that once it has occurred is it a bad thing if it enabled the voters to help assess the candidate. Schiff incorporates the idea that the hacking was conducted by Russia throughout his comments, and attempts to make a case for a Democrat response in the interest of protecting ourselves from “further Russian meddling in the future.” He says, “We’re going to have to call them out on it, we’re going to have to inform the American people about it.”... http://rickwells.us/tucker-carlson-humiliates-wipes-floor-distorting-dem-congressman/

Recount uncovers serious fraud in Detroit
by wnd.com
{wnd.com} ~ There’s something fishy going on in Michigan, where a full one-third of precincts in Wayne County – which includes Detroit – were unable to have ballots counted due to discrepancies with ballot counts... And one person reports single ballots being counted as many as six times. On Wednesday, a federal judge halted Michigan’s recount after two days of ballot counting, saying there’s not a legitimate reason to continue. After all, Green Party candidate Jill Stein, who asked for the recount – suggesting the possibility of vote fraud and stating, “We must have a system we can be confident in” – never even had a chance of winning with just 1 percent of the vote. But the judge’s decision came just after news reports began surfacing of possible vote fraud... http://www.wnd.com/2016/12/recount-uncovers-serious-fraud-in-detroit/

In Texas, Republicans Fight New
Sanctuary Cities in Wake of Trump Victory
by Josh Siegel
{dailysignal.com} ~ In the border state of Texas, the Republican governor and state Legislature are promising to combat a new trend since the election of Donald Trump, in which cities and localities vow to limit how much they assist federal authorities with removing immigrants living illegally in their communities... Sally Hernandez, the Democratic sheriff-elect in Travis County, home to the liberal state capital of Austin, ran on a platform opposing cooperation with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) when it seeks to deport illegal immigrants held in the county jail. “The sheriff’s office will not be part of a deportation force that sacrifices hundreds and thousands of people, our neighbors, to a broken federal immigration system,” Hernandez said during a Nov. 17 press conference... http://dailysignal.com/2016/12/08/in-texas-republicans-fight-new-sanctuary-cities-in-wake-of-trump-victory/?utm_source=TDS_Email&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=MorningBell&mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiTmpBeU5EZzRNalUyWkdFeiIsInQiOiJpam9DRG05TzJTSGh5bXlvT2tmbFllbGRFOGNwRWc1SlwvVWVac0RoVHNvS0FlZDhsTitndnYrYnQ3cTdiaHR0MVBBV1czNlI0MlVMV0NrTzMxcmNzXC9mY0dtQVBoclB4eTJpbmNjTEZpZis4PSJ9

liar-nObama and Democrats Continually Lie About
liar-nObamacare Coverage...
by Jay Caruso
{redstate.com} ~ Look around Twitter, television, Facebook and other places where news and statements are made, and you’ll likely see a Democrat saying, “Since passage of the Affordable Care Act in 2010, 20 million people have gained coverage.”... Democratic Vice Presidential candidate (Loser – VA), Tim Kaine tweeted it recently: The figure is total nonsense and what’s worse is, the media, who are having a collective cow over “fake news,” repeat the claim without challenge. Worse yet, they repeat it in two different directions. They parrot the coverage number and have been repeating the false claim that “20 million people would lose coverage under Donald Trump’s plan.”... http://www.redstate.com/jaycaruso/2016/12/08/obama-democrats-continually-lie-obamacare-coverage-figure/?utm_source=rsmorningbriefing&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=nl
.Federal Judge Orders Discovery To Begin In
liar-Hillary Clinton Email Lawsuit
by Spencer S. Hsu
{washingtonpost.com} ~ A federal judge on Tuesday ruled that State Department officials and top aides to liar-Hillary Clinton should be questioned under oath about whether they intentionally thwarted federal open records laws by using or allowing the use of a private email server... throughout liar-Clinton’s tenure as secretary of state from 2009 to 2013. The decision by U.S. District Judge Emmet G. Sullivan of Washington came in a lawsuit over public records brought by Judicial Watch, a conservative legal watchdog group, regarding its May 2013 request for information about the employment arrangement of Huma Abedin, a longtime liar-Clinton aide. Officials with the State and Justice departments said that they were aware of the order but declined to comment further, citing the ongoing litigation. Discovery orders are not readily appealable. An attorney for Abedin declined to comment...

Keith Ellison's Disinformation Campaign
by Steven Emerson
{jewishworldreview.com} ~ Confronted by his own words and facing a direct threat to his bid to become the next Democratic National Committee (DNC) chairman, U.S. Rep. Keith Ellison flagrantly lied. We are releasing the full audio and transcript to prove this.
After the Investigative Project on Terrorism released audio (at the end) of Ellison during a 2010 political fundraiser, criticizing what he saw as the inappropriate and disproportionate influence Israel carries over American foreign policy.
"The United States foreign policy in the Middle East is governed by what is good or bad through a country of 7 million people. A region of 350 million all turns on a country of 7 million," said Ellison, D-Minn. "Does that make sense? Is that logic? Right? When the Americans who trace their roots back to those 350 million get involved, everything changes. Can I say that again?"
In a statement Thursday, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) said it found Ellison's comments "deeply disturbing and disqualifying." That's because, "whether intentional or not, his words raise the specter of age-old stereotypes about Jewish control of our government, a poisonous myth that may persist in parts of the world where intolerance thrives."
In an open letter to the ADL, Ellison falsely claimed that "the audio released was selectively edited and taken out of context." He also claimed that he was merely "responding to a question about how Americans with roots in the Middle East could engage in the political process in a more effective way." And then he chose to attack the messenger.
None of Ellison's comments are true.
We have released the full audio of his remarks to show no edits were made and to show the full context. Let him also explain this other clearly anti-Semitic comment he made: "But it makes all the sense in the world when you see that that country has mobilized its diaspora in America to do its bidding in America."
Ellison and Context
As we reported, Ellison's 2010 comments came during a fundraiser for Esam Omeish's state assembly campaign. Omeish is a former president of the Muslim American Society (MAS), a group created by Muslim Brotherhood members in the United States. In 2007, Omeish was forced to resign from a Virginia immigration panel after the IPT produced video of him praising Palestinians in 2000 for learning that "the jihad way is the way to liberate your land." A second video, shot two months earlier, shows Omeish congratulating "our brothers and sisters in Palestine for their bravery, for their giving up their lives for the sake of Allah."
Just this week, Omeish posted a paean to the Muslim Brotherhood on Facebook.
Nihad Awad, the only executive director the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has ever had, also attended the Omeish fundraiser. Court records show Awad was a member of a Muslim Brotherhood created Hamas support network in the United States called the Palestine Committee. So was CAIR, the organization he leads.
Awad attended a pivotal 1993 gathering of committee members in Philadelphia, convened to discuss ways to "derail" the U.S. brokered Oslo Accords.
Palestine Committee members opposed it because it included recognition of Israel's right to exist and because it empowered the secular Fatah movement over the Islamists in Hamas. We know this because the FBI secretly recorded the meeting.
He has never explained why he joined the others present in referring to Hamas in the agreed-upon, yet crude code of reversing the spelling and speaking about "Samah."
Six months later, Awad appeared in Miami, where he publicly stated that, after some research, "I am in support of the Hamas movement more than the PLO."
When Keith Ellison stands before Omeish and Awad and asks whether it makes sense that America's Middle East policy "is governed by what is good or bad through a country of 7 million people," or when he says "that country [Israel] has mobilized its diaspora in America to do its bidding in America," the context seems pretty clear.
Democrats should choose the candidate they think can best lead their party to success in the future. They might decide Ellison fits that description.
They do so armed with greater understanding of Ellison's true feelings toward an issue pivotal for a lot of voters of all political persuasions.
