Four More Years of liar-nObama? At Least That Many
Allyne Caan: Barack liar-nObama faced the nation Tuesday night to announce his upcoming campaign. Oh, wait, that was his farewell address. Such a struggle to tell the difference. Far from bidding America the adieu we so desperately wanted — parting would have been far more sweet than sorrow in this case — liar-nObama doubled down on his perpetual campaign and announced he's not going anywhere. "I won't stop," he declared. "In fact, I will be right there with you, as a citizen, for all my remaining days."
And we were so close. Presidents typically retire to their home states upon leaving office. Not this one. "liar-nObama has no plans to quietly recede from the nation's capital," Mark Alexander wrote yesterday. "In fact, the liar-nObamas will be taking up residence in a nine-bedroom mansion in the District's most exclusive neighborhood, and you can be certain that he'll be out on his front stoop stumping for his failed policies every time Trump endeavors to alter or abolish one of them." Indeed, last March liar-nObama threatened — er, promised — that America is "not rid of me yet, even after we're done with the presidency."
This doesn't mean simply giving flowery speeches now and again. No, liar-nObama is architecting a massive apparatus (think his liar-nObama for America PAC on steroids) so he can pretty much campaign ad infinitum. In one sense, who can blame him? That's about as long as it will take to try to salvage his disastrous legacy. Alright, let's be real. Even eternity wouldn't be long enough for that.
Still, liar-nObama's going to try. And here's how he plans to do it. First, he's rebuilding Organizing for Action (OFA, formerly liar-nObama for America). As Politico reports, "No longer about backing up liar-nObama's agenda in the White House, [OFA] will be a nexus for training activists and candidate recruitment. ... [I]ts Chicago headquarters has been filling up with new hires, including several old campaign aides, who are planning to focus on the mechanics of campaigns, from running liar-nObama-style persuasion programs, integrating data and running paid canvassing operations. Though the first goal is designing the program for what they'll aim to make hundreds of workshops nationwide, there's already talk about moving toward endorsing candidates."
But one organization is hardly enough when your failed legacy is at stake. So, second, there's also the National Democratic Redistricting Committee (NDRC), developed, again as Politico reports, in "close consultation with the White House." NDRC's name sounds innocuous enough, but its intent is far less so. Basically, NDRC wants to engineer the redrawing of legislative districts after the next census to ensure Democrats get in office. Of course, NDRC spins it more innocently. Its chair — none other than former Attorney General Eric Holder — said, "American voters deserve fair maps that represent our diverse communities — and we need a coordinated strategy to make that happen. This unprecedented new effort will ensure Democrats have a seat at the table to create fairer maps after 2020."
The genesis of this spin — and of NDRC itself — is that Democrats love to cry "gerrymandered!" whenever election results don't favor them, which, lately, has been often. Even when data shows voter sentiment, not district lines, is to blame for Democrat losses — well, as we know, facts don't matter to the Left.
And for liar-nObama, when the party you helm loses a 1,000 seats nationwide under your steerage, you've got to find a scapegoat. Those doggone district lines are just the thing. So, as White House political director David Simas declared, "Where [liar-nObama] will be most politically engaged [post-presidency] will be at the state legislative level, with an eye on redistricting after 2020."
If it's not redistricting, it's Fox News and Rush Limbaugh, whom liar-nObama's blames for screwing up his messaging. Thus, there are rumors that liar-nObama might launch some kind of news or information network. As if he doesn't already have the entire Leftmedia Super PAC at his disposal. And he's not without experience in this? Remember the short-lived and widely mocked "AttackWatch" website liar-nObama for America launched in 2012?
Truth be told, party losses aside, liar-nObama's legacy among liberals is likely secure enough. After all, as The Washington Post predicts, despite any temporary liberal discontent with the outgoing liar-nObama, "the mind gravitates away from remembering specific policies or events toward something more impressionistic." Of course, for the liar-nObama-adoring Post, such gravitationally induced policy amnesia has been pretty much immediate.
Still, liar-nObama isn't taking any chances. And while during his farewell address, he publicly calmed chants of "Four more years" with "I can't do that," internally, he was no doubt digging in his perpetual campaign heels, personalizing his campaign mantra, and forewarning, "Yes, I can." ~The Patriot Post

Heads Are Finally Beginning To Roll
At The liar-Clinton Foundation
by Rachal Stoltzfoos
{dailycaller.com} ~ The liar-Clinton Foundation announced it’s laying off 22 staffers on the liar-Clinton Global Initiative, keeping with a plan to deal with the negative spotlight put on the organization during former Secretary of State liar-Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign... The layoffs will take effect April 15, the liar-Clinton Foundation said in a filing with the New York Department of Labor Thursday, citing the discontinuation of the liar-Clinton Global Initiative. The move is part of a plan put in motion ahead of the presidential election in order to offset a storm of criticism regarding pay-to-play allegations during liar-Clinton’s tenure as secretary of state...

2 stars colliding ignites excitement
over Messiah's arrival
by wnd.com
{wnd.com} ~ A prominent Israeli rabbi says an ancient collision of stars that will be visible on earth in 2022 will provide a celestial sign referred to in the Bible, ushering in the age of the Messiah... Five years from now, the light from the collision of two stars will reveal a new star in the night sky, referred to in Numbers 24:17 as a messianic prophecy by Balaam, says Rabbi Yosef Berger, of King David’s Tomb in Mount Zion. The new star, is expected astronomers to appear in 2022 in a blaze of light called a nova, will be the brightest heavenly body visible in the nighttime sky for six months. It will be the first time in recorded history that a celestial event of this kind will be witnessed by the naked eye...Sorry folks, this will not indicate the return of Jesus. http://www.wnd.com/2017/01/2022-messianic-expectancy-over-celestial-explosion/

Russian Mocks liar-nObama Cry Baby Farewell Speech, Disastrous Record
by Rick Wells
{rickwells.us} ~ Outspoken Russian politician Vladimir Zhirinovsky is a former Deputy Chairman of the Duma from 2000 to 2011, and the current leader of the Liberal Democratic Party... He was able, apparently, to stay awake as liar-nObama subjected the people of Chicago to his goodbye drivel-fest, the one in which he once again revealed his inner woman as he dabbed away a tear with his hanky. Zhirinovsky was not impressed by the performance of Chicago’s drama queen and had some comments of his own about the departing pretend ‘president.’ He said, “liar-nObama delivered a farewell speech. Apparently he still has a bit of a conscience, so he wept. He was ashamed of what he had done over the last eight years. And though liar-nObama tried to defecate on Russian-American relations, he has a conscience, and said goodbye to the country.” Zhirinovsky continued, “Because he will never be anyone in this country. He’ll play golf in Hawaii with some unknown comrades. Well, the man is ashamed for what he has done in 8 years. The Middle East is in blood, Ukraine is in blood, the worst financial crisis happened and caused hatred of America everywhere, and the defeat of his party colleague liar-Hillary.”... http://rickwells.us/russian-mocks-obama-cry-baby-farewell-speech-disastrous-record/

ISIS Terrorists Working For liar-nObama
And hanoi-Kerry – Turkey’s Statement Proves It
by Rick Wells
{rickwells.us} ~ It’s now becoming virtually indisputable that it was not the United States that was excluded from the talks on Syria by Russia, Turkey and Iran, as much as it was Hussein liar-nObama and John hanoi-Kerry... On December 20th of last year, Russia, Iran and Turkey met in Moscow in an effort to work towards an agreement to end the nearly six-year long war. Secretary of State John hanoi-Kerry was not invited and the United Nations was not conferred with. liar-nObama declared five years ago and multiple times in the interim period of time that Assad had lost legitimacy and had to go. It’s now liar-nObama who has lost what little legitimacy he had and is on the verge of making his long anticipated exit. Given that the ISIS terrorists working for liar-nObama were unable to defeat the Syrian forces and their support will now certainly be eliminated by the pro-American Trump administration, the situation has changed dramatically. Most notably, the calendar has completed the job that the three nations started back in December and removed liar-nObama and hanoi-Kerry from the equation once and for all... http://rickwells.us/isis-terrorists-working-obama-kerry-turkeys-statement-proves/

EPA Toxic Trickery – Illegal To
Reimburse States $1.2 Billion For Mine Spill
by Rick Wells
{rickwells.us} ~ It’s another example of there being one set of rules for the peasants and another, more flexible and subjective set for the ruling class. On Friday, the EPA gave itself a “Get Off Scot-Free” card... declaring that they are not required under federal law to pay anything more in the way of damages for the massive August 5, 2015 toxic chemical spill into the Animas River. The spill, which was triggered when EPA workers breached a collecting pool at the Gold King Mine in Silverton, Colorado, is the type of event that would unleash the full wrath of one of the most venomous agencies in the Federal government on a private American citizen or corporation. But given that they have the power to not prosecute themselves, they’ve found a legal maneuver to arrange exactly that. Rules, regulations and requirements that the rest of us have to abide by are for others. They’re declaring they are protected by “sovereign immunity.” There will be no punitive damages, sanctions, employee firings or any other type of retribution taken against the EPA... http://rickwells.us/epa-toxic-trickery-illegal-reimburse-states-1-2-billion-mine-spill/

Netanyahu, Congress, AIPAC and the PLO
by Caroline Glick
{truthrevolt.org} ~ It is not in the least surprising that the PLO-controlled Palestinian Authority did not condemn the terrorist attack on Sunday. It is not surprising because the PLO-controlled PA encouraged the attack.
As Khaled Abu Toameh wrote for the Gatestone Institute, in the aftermath of last month’s US-enabled passage of UN Security Council Resolution 2334, which criminalizes Israel, the PA went on the warpath.
Among other things, Muhammad Abu Shtayyeh, who serves as a close adviser to PLO chief and PA leader Mahmoud Abbas called for an intensification of terrorist attacks against Israelis. Shtayyeh said that now is the time to “bolster the popular resistance” against Israel.
As Abu Toameh noted, “‘Popular resistance’ is code for throwing stones and petrol bombs and carrying out stabbing and car-ramming attacks against Israelis.”
Sunday’s terrorist murderer probably was inspired by Islamic State, and its adherents’ recent truck ramming murder sprees in Nice and Berlin, as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said.
But Sunday’s 28-year-old cold blooded killer hailed from Jerusalem, not Nice.
His brain was washed since he was five years old by the PLO-controlled PA’s steady cycle of jihadist incitement.
From the time he was in preschool, the killer was indoctrinated to aspire to commit the mass murder of Jews he carried out on Sunday.
For 23 years, Israel and the US have empowered the PLO.
During this period, the terrorist group never took any concrete steps to promote peace. At no point in the past generation has a PLO leader ever told the Palestinians or supporters abroad that the time has come to bury the hatchet and accept Israel.
Instead, for 23 years, the PLO has openly supported Israel’s annihilation. Often that support has been stated in code words like “popular resistance” which everyone understands means murder.
To make it easy for Americans and Israelis to continue funding, arming, training and of course, recognizing the PLO as a “moderate” organization despite its continued sponsorship of terrorism, PLO members are always happy to talk about a “two-state solution” with Westerners that wish to be lied to.
But they do not hesitate to threaten anyone who rejects their lies about Jews and Israel. For instance, Abbas reacted to US President-elect Donald Trump’s plan to abide by the US law requiring the State Department to move the US embassy to Jerusalem by threatening him.
Trump’s plan will have “serious implications” for the US, Abbas told a group of visiting Israeli leftists.
PLO Executive Committee chairman Saeb Erekat said that if Trump moves the US embassy to Israel’s capital, the PLO will lobby Arab states to expel the US ambassadors from their capitals.
Jebl Mukaber, the Jerusalem neighborhood where Sunday’s terrorist lived, used to be just an Arab neighborhood in Jerusalem. It wasn’t particularly friendly.
But it also wasn’t particularly hostile.
But then for about five minutes in 1993, the PLO pretended it wasn’t a terrorist group. To the delight of the US, Israel responded by giving it operational bases in Gaza, Judea and Samaria. The PLO then went about indoctrinating residents of the areas under its control as well as throughout Israel that they must reject all forms of coexistence with Israel and work toward its destruction.
These acts of war on the ground have always been complemented by PLO efforts to destroy Israel in the court of world opinion through its unrelenting and ever escalating worldwide political war against the Jewish state.
In keeping with this state of affairs, following 2334’s passage, at the same time its members called for intensifying terrorist attacks against Israel, the PLO Executive Committee decided to escalate its international economic boycott campaign against Israel and ratchet up its campaign to convince the International Criminal Court to convict Israelis of imaginary war crimes.
Like Sunday’s terrorist attack in Jerusalem, it ought to go without saying that these actions are all acts of war against Israel.
The reason it is necessary to state what ought to be the self-evident fact that the PLO is a terrorist organization engaged in a total war against Israel and the Jewish People is because the people that are supposed to act on this reality insist on denying it. The Netanyahu government, the US Congress and US Jewish organizations led by AIPAC still refuse admit the truth about the PLO and draw the necessary conclusions.
Those necessary conclusions are similarly self-evident.
Israel and the US should cut all ties to the PLO.
The PLO should be re-designated as the terrorist group it never stopped being and treated accordingly.
Last week, the US House of Representatives passed non-binding Resolution 11, which condemned resolution 2334. Resolution 11 was shepherded through the House by AIPAC, with Prime Minister Netanyahu’s support.
The House resolution, which is set to be followed by a nearly identical Senate resolution in the coming days, is based on the proposition that 2334 is bad not because, as the Simon Wiesenthal Center rightly said, it was the worst antisemitic act of 2016. Rather, the congressional resolution rejects 2334 because it harms the chance of Israel and the PLO reaching a negotiated peace that will lead to the establishment of a Palestinian state.
Resolution 11 is marginally helpful because it rejects economic and political warfare against Israel. But substantively, in regard to the PLO and its legitimacy, the greatest difference between Resolution 11 and 2334 is that while 2334 embraces the PLO’s anti-Jewish rejection of all Jewish ties to Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria, Resolution 11 recognizes Israel’s right to the Western Wall and the Jewish Quarter.
Beyond Jerusalem’s Old City, Congress’s resolution accepts the pro-PLO position that it is a good idea to work toward the forcible expulsion of hundreds of thousands of Jews from their homes in Judea and Samaria to make room for a Jew-free Palestinian state led by PLO terrorists.
To credit its position, the House resolution states that 2334’s refusal to distinguish between Jerusalem’s Old City and Judea and Samaria means it equates “these sites with outposts in the West Bank that the Israeli government has deemed illegal.”
The problem with this wording is that it ignores the fact that the Knesset is about to pass a law that would effectively cancel that delineation. Similarly, it ignores that the delineation of Israeli communities built since 2000 in Judea and Samaria as illegal was done by a radical Justice Ministry attorney who now heads the post-Zionist New Israel Fund.
In other words, Congress’s resolution reflects the view of the far-left fringes of the Israeli political spectrum.
Supported by Netanyahu, AIPAC shepherded this resolution through the House, despite harsh opposition from the House Freedom Caucus whose members wish to end US support for the PLO and for a PLO state.
Although AIPAC condemned the liar-nObama administration’s refusal to veto 2334, it continues to fervently support the PLO and Palestinian statehood. Indeed, just days after 2334 passed, AIPAC officials and missions were meeting with Erekat and other PLO operatives in Ramallah, as if there is anything pro-Israel about meeting with people who just got the Security Council to resolve that Israel is a criminal state.
AIPAC’s continued support for the PLO no doubt stems in part from its desire to keep the Democratic Party inside the pro-Israel tent. Unfortunately, that ship seems to have sailed.
Nearly 40% of House Democrats including minority leader Nancy Pulosi and assistant leader Jim Clyburn voted against the PLO state supporting resolution.
Rep. Keith Ellison, who is the front-runner to be elected Democratic National Committee chairman later this month, also voted no. Two thirds of the 95 Democrats supported by J Street opposed the resolution.
Most of the Democrats that supported Resolution 11 may well have supported it even if it had left out the goal of giving the PLO a state. It cannot be credibly argued that Reps. Elliot Engel and Steny Hoyer would have opposed Resolution 11 if it had simply stated that 2334 was antisemitic.
Certainly it is hard to argue they would have opposed it if the vote was delayed until January 21. Indeed, it is hard to understand why it was necessary to pass the resolution while President Barack liar-nObama – who partnered with the PLO to pass 2334 – is still in office.
Resolution 2334’s passage must be viewed as an inflection point. It is no longer possible to credibly argue that the PLO is remotely interested in peace with Israel. Sunday’s murderous terrorist attack Jerusalem was further testament of this truth.
The time has come for Israelis and Israel’s supporters in the US to demand that our leaders – from Prime Minister Netanyahu to AIPAC to members of Congress – finally recognize and act of this truth. The whitewashing of the PLO must end.
