Fox Host: Obama In Denial That His Policies Doomed The Democratic Party
Fox Host: Obama In Denial That His Policies Doomed The Democratic Party:
"Cavuto noted that Obama does not seem to have understood the consequences of his actions.
“You went after the rich, and seemed stunned when everyone else revolted. All but called the other side racist, yet failed to see the writing on the wall that was pretty black and white,” Cavuto said.
“Just like you failed to see that voters didn’t have a problem with the color of your skin, maybe just the thickness of it. Just like you failed to see Americans weren’t chauvinist for rejecting a woman for president, maybe just this woman for president,” he added."

Immigrants Take ALL Jobs Created In The Month Trump Beat Clinton—Plus There’s A New Illegal Wave
National Data | Immigrants Take ALL Jobs Created In The Month Trump Beat Clinton—Plus There’s A New Illegal Wave | VDARE - premier news outlet for patriotic immigration reform:
Employers added 178,000 jobs last month, while the unemployment dropped to 4.6% – dangerously close to the “full employment” level that mainstream economists warn could trigger wage and price inflation...
...The damage done by the 1965 immigration legislation resonates loud and clear in the latest Household Survey employment figures (which count legal and illegal immigrants together).
In November:
- Total employment rose by 160,000, up by 0.11%
- Native-born American employment fell 89,000, down by 0.07%
- Foreign-born employment rose by 249,000, up by 0.96%
Native-born American workers have lost ground to their foreign-born competitors throughout the Obama years, but the trend has accelerated significantly over the past few months. In fact, the displacement of the native-born by immigrants hit an Obama-era high in August. November 2016 ranks third-worst among the 95 months of Obama’s tenure in terms of the displacement of American workers by immigrants.

First two months of FY2017, Somali ‘refugees’ entering US at highest rate ever!
First two months of FY2017, Somali ‘refugees’ entering US at highest rate ever! « Refugee Resettlement Watch:
"...You can’t make this up!
In light of the many Somalis who have been arrested and convicted on terrorism charges (here is the most recent case) and in light of two highly publicized cases of Somali youths we cared for on our taxpayer dime attempting to kill Americans since September in St. Cloud, MN and in Columbus, OH, we are admitting the highest weekly average of Somalis to the US that we have ever done in the last 30 years!
Using the data available to the public at Wrapsnet.org (Refugee Processing Center), we searched for the number of Somalis (virtually all Somalis are Muslims) admitted between October 1, 2016 and December 1, 2016 and this is what we found:
2,598 were admitted in the last two months. (More Somalis than Syrians, here).
And check out the top ten states which ‘welcomed’ them. (40 states got some number of Somalis, but large numbers will head to Minnesota and Ohio as soon as their initial resettlement funds run out.)..."

2016 Victories: Supreme Court Blocks President Obama’s Executive Overreach | American Center for Law and Justice:
"This year, in a major blow to President Obama’s lawless Executive overreach and an important victory for the separation of powers and the U.S. Constitution, an equally divided Supreme Court kept a federal court injunction in place blocking President Obama’s Executive action that unilaterally rewrote our nation’s immigration laws.
This crucial victory underscores what we have argued for years: impatient Presidents don’t get to change the law. "

1 in 5 D.C. Killers Were Set Free by "Sentencing Reform"
1 in 5 D.C. Killers Were Set Free by "Sentencing Reform" | Frontpage Mag
"Sentencing reform, a euphemism that the pro-crime lobby uses to mean going soft on criminals, is championed by the left and by some elements on the right.
This Washington Post story shows the terrible effects of sentencing reform on the victims of criminals freed to rape and kill.
"Sentencing reform, a euphemism that the pro-crime lobby uses to mean going soft on criminals, is championed by the left and by some elements on the right.
This Washington Post story shows the terrible effects of sentencing reform on the victims of criminals freed to rape and kill.
Hundreds of criminals sentenced by D.C. judges under an obscure local law crafted to give second chances to young adult offenders have gone on to rob, rape or kill residents of the nation’s capital.The original intent of the law was to rehabilitate inexperienced criminals under the age of 22. The District’s Youth Rehabilitation Act allows for shorter sentences for some crimes and an opportunity for offenders to emerge with no criminal record. But a Washington Post investigation has found a pattern of violent offenders returning rapidly to the streets and committing more crimes. Hundreds have been sentenced under the act multiple times.In dozens of cases, D.C. judges were able to hand down Youth Act sentences shorter than those called for under mandatory minimum laws designed to deter armed robberies and other violent crimes. The criminals have often repaid that leniency by escalating their crimes of violence upon release.
Because that's how criminals work.
This isn't a surprise to anyone who knows anything about the criminal justice system. The mythical "kid just locked up for smoking pot once" touted by sentencing reform advocates is just that. A myth. The system is full of repeat offenders who take advantage of every loophole thanks to their lawyers and then continue committing more crimes, going in and out of the system.

"He added that Clinton had many clear advantages over Trump including money, polls, the media and the electoral map, but Trump was able to still come away with a decisive victory, including winning many of the counties and states that President Barack Obama won in 2008 and 2012.
But there was one message of Clinton’s that did resonate with voters, Bolling contended: when she called half of Trump’s supporters a “basket of deplorables.”
“That comment hit home, but to the wrong group."

5 Reasons Barack Obama Will Be Viewed As One Of The Worst Presidents of All Time - John Hawkins:
"Compiling a list of reasons why Barack Obama is a terrible president seems like a project for a book rather than a column.
However, when we start looking at the catastrophic mistakes he’s made that may reverberate for years to come, it’s clear that he’s been a disaster for America on a scale that few other Presidents can match. Just look at his record.
1) Nearly Doubling The National Debt...
2) Unleashing The Genie From The Nuclear Weapons Bottle In The Middle East...
3) Facilitating Illegal Immigration...
4) Encouraging Racial Polarization...
5) Losing A War We Had Already Won In Iraq..."

Laughing At Liberals As They Lose Their Minds
Laughing At Liberals As They Lose Their Minds - Kurt Schlichter:
"I reached peak Twitter this week when I was sucked into a tweet battle with a liberal dwarf.
True story.
Donald Trump’s victory had the militant munchkin fuming.
I have to admit that I was a little short with her myself.
But I should be smiling – we conservatives should all be smiling – because everything is going our way.
For heaven’s sake, our next Secretary of Defense is going to be nicknamed “Mad Dog.”
We just spent eight years being ruled by people who would prefer it be someone nicknamed “Hugs N’ Stuff.”
The liberals are truly going nuts, and it’s beautiful.
They recently resurrected Nancy Pelosi for another glorious term winnowing away the House Democrat caucus.
Pretty soon it’s just going to be her and some guy representing Berkeley who they recruited while he was shouting “Workers of the world unite!” at bored coeds on Telegraph Avenue.
You know, if you want to reach out to the kind of hard-working, salt-of-the-earth, normal Americans who voted for the black guy then allegedly refused to vote for the woman because they are racist, you totally want an ancient, rich, snooty, San Francisco leftist and Botox after-picture like the Nanster.
The only way you could further alienate these alienated voters is, I don’t know, making your DNC chairman some radical leftist, urban black Muslim who hates guns, loves Farrakhan and who parties with Middle Eastern scumbags who issue fatwas to kill those voters’ soldier sons and daughters.
...Yes, we are living in wonderful times.
Democrats are out of power, the media has been neutered – hell, it could play Ken – and the liberal cultural institutions are talking themselves into ritual suicide.
Now, all I have to do to bring it full circle is to get back on Twitter and get caught up in a spat with a socialist gnome or some transitioning elf."

Mike Rowe responds to critical fan: Our American flag is more than a ‘mere symbol’ – TheBlaze:
"“The thing about ‘mere symbols’ Susanne, is that they represent ‘mere ideas,’ and ‘mere ideas’ are the backbone of ‘mere humanity.’ In the case of the flag, we’re talking about ideas that are wrapped into the Constitution – a document that separates us from every other country on the planet,” Rowe added.
Those ideas, Rowe wrote, are the reason people “fight and die” and have many of the rights Americans get to enjoy, like free speech, carry guns and desecrate symbols that represent those freedoms."

Trump is FDR with the fireside tweet
Trump is FDR with the fireside tweet: Glenn Reynolds
"Democrats think caring means a government program.
Trump thinks caring is getting to keep your job, just as he promised.
President Clinton said, “I feel your pain.”
President Franklin Roosevelt had "fireside chats.”
And now President-elect Donald Trump is reaching out to forgotten Americans with a message that he cares about their problems, and wants to help.
This could be the Democrats’ worst nightmare.
As Walter Russell Mead notes in The American Interest, it’s an old style of politicking that more recent politicos seem to have forgotten.
Trump’s Carrier event saved only a tiny fraction of jobs that are being lost around the country, and it might not make much difference in the long run, but that wasn’t the point.
The point was “that the people at the top are aware of the problems of the people at the bottom," Mead writes.
"It’s smart governance, but it’s something that the technocratic progressive mind tends to undervalue.”
...Trump, by contrast, promised to save Carrier jobs during the campaign and then, even though Obama mocked him for it at the PBS town hall (“What are you going to do? ... What magic wand do you have?”)
Trump then went ahead and delivered.
A conspicuously kept campaign promise that benefits the little guy sends a signal of caring that talk of macroeconomics does not.
FDR knew this.
His New Deal economic policies were mostly snake oil — according to a study by UCLA economists, they actually prolonged the Great Depression by seven years.
But FDR made people feel like he cared, even though he was a rich man from New York who had never been poor himself.
Now another rich man from New York seems to be repeating the formula.
FDR gave the Democrats two decades of political dominance.
Today’s Democrats should be worrying that Trump could do the same for the Republican Party."

Wind turbines generating regret; $100,000 turbines to create $1.50 in electricity monthly
Wind turbines generating regret; $100,000 turbines to create $1.50 in electricity monthly - Peninsula Daily News:
PORT ANGELES — Three windmill-like turbines loom motionless over the city of Port Angeles’ new Waterfront Park.
The $107,516 spires stand immobile more than two months after they were erected and more than a year after the city council approved them.
Once they are working to generate electricity, they will produce so little power — $1.50 worth of electricity a month in savings — that at least one council member is regretting her decision to purchase them.
...“By implementing the latest in wind energy technology, the city would set a trend in alternative energy innovation that sets a positive example and speaks to the city wanting to be part of state-of-the-art alternative energy technology.
“Collectively the park is intended to inspire community pride, enjoyment, and a vibrancy that for many years Port Angeles had been without.”
The park was mostly grant-funded, West added.

End of the EU?-----Angela Merkel: False Prophet of Europe
Angela Merkel: False Prophet of Europe:
- With his initiative for tighter gun laws, to prevent weapons getting into "the wrong hands," Justice Minister Maas does not mean to target the Islamists who pose an existential threat to Germany, but an obscure German group called the "Reichsbürger."
- As the German newspaper Bild describes the law proposed by Maas, "a 13-year-old child bride would have to testify against her husband, saying that her well-being as a child is under threat. If neither the child nor the Child Welfare Service lodges a complaint, for all practical purposes the marriage would be declared legitimate." This law clearly does not take into account the possibility of private coercion against a child, let alone the blinding likelihood of outright threats.
- Justice Minister Maas evidently cares more about "gender image" than he cares about truly oppressed women and vulnerable children. In a recently drafted new law by his ministry, Mass refused to ban child marriage.
- With both France and Germany going to polls next year, there is the possibility of a democratic, peaceful "European Spring."

Cheney had a few really funny lines but the one about the press was hysterical.
Here;s a transcript via Real Clear Politics:
CHENEY: "I think he needs to be careful but he’ll learn as he goes along. I think he is putting some brains and good people with him. I am a big fan of Mike Pence. I know Mike well from his 12 years in the House and I think he’s a great choice as Vice President. He’s going to play a major role. I think Mr. Trump is taking very, very seriously the job that he has gotten now. Staffing up the administration. I think one of the reasons people get so concerned about the tweets is it is sort of a way around the press. He doesn’t have to rely upon, uh, rely upon — this is the modern era, modern technology. He’s at the point where we don’t need you guys anymore. [Laughter] CHENEY: I apologize.
