Obama’s “Smart Power” Disaster

TFP , , , ,

Remember when Obama and his leftist minions argued that something called “smart power”; that is, their brilliant intellect and soaring rhetoric; would strengthen America’s position in the world and disarm our adversaries? Well, here is what it got us:

An expansionary Russia.

ISIS, now thankfully seemingly on the run

An empowered Iran, now with a path to the bomb

A nuclear North Korea with growing missile capabilities

In summation, a total disaster. And Trump has to clean it up. Thank you, American left and the Democrat party.

Obama Passed Record Number of Regulations His Final Year

TFP ,

“Transformation”. One estimate is that Federal regulations new cost the country $1.9T in compliance and lost productivity. That is $5919 for every person in the country. Getting your money’s worth?

Cutting Through The Lies, Propaganda and Assorted Crap Concerning Trump “Scandals”

TFP , , , , ,

President Trump has certainly not helped himself with his tweets, contradicting statements and shoot-from-the-hip approach (firing Comey?). However, the attacks on him from the far-left, the left-wing media and even some Republicans is so over-the-top it defies description. Treasonous comes close to describing their behavior, not his. Cutting through the crap, here are some facts.

Suggesting to former FBI director Comey that he would like General Flynn to not be investigated or prosecuted further doesn’t come close to obstruction of justice. If it did, Comey was obligated BY LAW to immediately contact the Justice Department that a possible violation had taken place. If he did not (as is apparent) Comey himself is guilty of a felony. Furthermore, by dismissing Comey, Trump is not guilty of obstruction even if it was over the Russian investigation, as the director does not head up an investigation and it will continue. Calls for impeachment on this basis are stupid, dishonest or both. And oh, by the way, what did Obama do when he publicly proclaimed Hillary Clinton’s innocence before the FBI or Justice weighed in?

Next, regarding Trump sharing intelligence with Russia, that is his right to do even if it is misguided. And oh, it is something Obama did repeatedly. And now we are getting a special prosecutor to look into the Russian ties, so our side caved. Maybe it’s a good thing for transparency sake but it is unnecessary and unprecedented. In eight years of non-stop Obama corruption not one was appointed during that time. Not for fast and furious, DOJ spying, the IRS disgrace, Benghazi or Hillary Clinton.

The real scandal here is the corruption of the media and within the government bureaucracy. Crimes are being committed daily by anti-Trump bureaucrats, and they need to be rooted out and prosecuted. All the sources for these stories are unnamed leakers. If this had happened to Obama the media would be have a hissyfit and calling it all “racist!” The deep state bureaucracy of government agencies appears to be attempting to take down a duly elected president in some kind of illegal coup. The left plays very dirty, and it is way past time for Trump, his supporters, and those on the right who are infuriated by these illegal, undemocratic and unconstitutional actions to fight back just as hard. The GOP controls every branch of the government but it appears that the Democrats are running things…it is an outrage! Comey has notes on Trump? Supoena all his notes, especially those on Obama and Clinton. They are government property, not his. Reopen investigations into all of the Obama scandals. That will get their attention.

Washington is a den of thieves, whores, rats and vipers. I thought Trump would be better prepared for political hardball, but hopefully he will learn. It is obvious that the left and even some who are supposed to be on our side are out to destroy his presidency, and they will stop at nothing to accomplish it.

Democrats Are Losing Control of Black Americans

TFP , , , ,

As well they should. It is not an exaggeration to say that Obama has done more harm to black Americans than any president since the civil war. Race relations have regressed 40-50 years. Black are worse off under Obama using every measurable of well-being: income, employment, wealth, crime, poverty, and health. It is about time that black Americans realize that the left (Democrats) wants them right where the reside: uneducated, uninformed, dependent and in ghettos. Donald Trump has a legitimate chance to change things, Hi(liar)ly will not. I believe that he will garner a surprisingly large number of their votes. As he said: What do you have to lose!!??

Identify, Personalize, Polarize

TFP , ,

Democrats don’t run on issues, unlike most in the GOP, because they either have none or they are bad ones. They run by destroying their opponents in good Alinsky form: “identify, personalize, polarize”. Obama won the 20012 election not on his record, which was awful to say the least. He won by turning Romney into a worse version of Montgomery Burns from The Simpsons: an evil money-grubbing plutocrat.

Now they are at it again: Trump is “unhinged, racist, bigoted”. There is virtually no discussion on policy, because the Democratic platform has been a miserable failure. But Trump appears to be doing the same to Clinton: “liar, criminal, corrupt”. The only difference is all of Trump’s pejoratives for Hillary are provably true. We’ll see which side wins. It may be Trump’s only chance.

Obama And Crime

5 Things President Obama Needs To Say About Black Crime But Won’t

He was uniquely positioned to bring to light and address the problems of minorities and the poor that are their own doing: unwed mothers, drugs, thug culture, crime, lack of personal responsibility, poor education (you can blame this one on the government and teacher’s unions). Not that racism doesn’t exist but it is far from the root of any of these problems. Instead he cast blame entirely on imagined institutional racism and white, making the situation far worse.

The US Has Become A Banana Republic

TFP , , , ,

With the FBI letting Hillary Clinton slide last week in the email scandal, Obama’s overt agitation on the issue of race, and Ruth Ginsburg’s open politicking on the presidency, the US is looking more and more like a Banana Republic.

In the case of Clinton, this is hardly the first time the rule of law has not been applied evenly, but does anyone for a second believe that if she was not “Hillary Clinton, presumptive Democratic nominee” that she would not have been indicted? This is a very dangerous precedent and signals loudly that laws that apply to most do not apply to our political elites.

As far as Obama goes, his foot-in-mouth racial advocacy blew up in his face with the murders of five Dallas police. But even that could not stop him from pontificating. He is not a leader or uniter…he is simply a clueless, incompetent ideologue.

Finally there is Ginsburg, whose critique of Trump was so unprecedented that even the NYT and WAPO took to criticizing her. She has rarely hidden her far-left ideology, but by making such public statements she has proven to no longer be fit for the bench. One must wonder if she is nuts. She has done untold damage to what is supposed to be an impartial body.

Where I was once angry at such things, I now find myself deeply saddened. The country is in serious trouble with a government like this.
