Kerry, Obama Unleash Direct Betrayal of Israel

In the aftermath of the US abstention at the UN Security Council vote on a resolution slandering Israeli settlements (actually a directive from President Obama), Secretary of State John Kerry, an idiot at large who served in Vietnam, unleashed a comprehensive plan offering further destruction of the middle east while scolding Israel.

"Kerry's central conclusion, that "Israel can either be Jewish or democratic, it cannot be both" is an inanity that passes as profound only in Ivory Tower faculty lounges" offered Sen. Ted Cruz. "It is a sign of their radicalism and refusal to defend American interests, that Obama and Kerry choose to attack the only inclusive democracy in the Middle East -- a strong, steadfast ally of America -- while turning a blind eye to the Islamic terrorism that grows daily."

Kerry and Obama are opponents of America as founded, despising her and her allies all while emboldening her enemies. For me, aiding and abetting enemies of our nation is an act of Treason, Obama and Kerry should be held accountable in any and every legally permissible way.

Mark Levin: Kerry’s outrageous, deceitful speech caps off Obama’s diabolical betrayal of Israel

And America should thank it's lucky stars Donald Trump won!

Watching the Wheels

I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round, I really love to watch them roll

 

Thinking of John Lennon, who was murdered 36 years ago this evening. RIP John. Your brilliance lives on!

America sits watching the wheels go round and round.

 "It’s been 36 years since Lennon was gunned down by an assassin’s bullet on December 8, 1980, but his legacy and the lessons he imparted in his music and his activism have not diminished over the years. 

All of the many complaints we have about government today were present in Lennon’s day and formed the basis of his call for social justice, peace and a populist revolution. Little wonder, then, that the U.S. government saw him as enemy number one. 

Because he never refrained from speaking truth to power, Lennon became a prime example of the lengths to which the U.S. government will go to persecute those who dare to challenge its authority." --John Whitehead.

Well stated!

Plan of Destruction

"Al Qaeda’s plan to destroy the United States isn’t through direct military action, but through “immigration” and “outbreeding nonmuslims” who would then use the legal system to impose Sharia law in the United States."

It is currently underway, with full assistance from President Obama and the Democratic Party.

In my book, that would certainly equate to treasonous activity.

Shooting at Snowflakes

Legacy Destruction

With the commander in arrogance roaming around informing the citizenry that much of America thinks "I did a pretty good job," it became clear Obama felt the results of the election had absolutely nothing to do with him.

A diabolical narcissist to be sure, we are sure Obama actually believes the nonsense he speaks. But Obama never did embrace the truth, only the perception he carries in his own mind supported by the useful idiots he surrounds himself with.

As such, Rush Limbaugh went off the other day, noting the time called for a teachable moment.

“The amount of electoral power the Democrats have lost, particularly at the state and local level is astounding. They only control both legislature and governors in five states. They are in a world of hurt, particularly at the state level, and that means at the local level, and that means at the grassroots level.”

"Here are some hard numbers for you. What has happened to the Democrats under Barack Obama's presidency? If you want to know what the Barack Obama legacy really is since Obama became president in 2008. The Democrats have lost 11 seats in the Senate. They have lost 60 seats in the House of Representatives. They have lost 14 governorships!"

"And as I previously stated, there are only four states in this entire country where the Democrats control the governorship and the state legislature, only four out of 50. Since Obama became president, the Democrats have lost 900 state legislative seats all across the country. They have lost mayor's offices. They have lost city council."

As the reality of Obama's legacy crashes to the earth, at least we can thank Obama for one thing: "Conservatism is ascendant and is triumphant."

Obama helped make it so!

Creating Jobs Already

Socialism Curtails Propserity

Socialism is the antithesis of individual freedom and liberty, placing constraints on prosperity.

It is amazing these facts surrounding socialism are so widely misunderstood. Perhaps it is because economics is also a blind spot for most Americans.

A great article investigated the economics of why socialism fails.

"Freedom also fosters competition, bringing prices of goods and services down and quality up. In the free market, the people are served. In the socialist state, the unsustainable state is served at the expense of the people. And this is the economics of why socialism fails."

THE ECONOMICS OF WHY SOCIALISM FAILS

Rioters Orchestrated Idiots

So, we are to believe that because Donald Trump was elected president, America will be destroyed.

Idiots have taken to the street.

As evidenced by disturbingly condescending commentary by CBS 60 Minutes correspondent Lesley Stahl in an interview with president-elect Donald Trump last night, it was apparently the Trump supporters who were causing all the ruckus.

But how can that be?

In fact, pictures and videos have surfaced of all the buses used to usher in all the protesters.

Buses lined up in Austin, TX

Yes, you read that right. These are the same folks who were at play in Ferguson, Baltimore and every other racial dust up over the last couple years. An orchestrated, and well paid, protester army of useful idiots.

As Rush Limbaugh stated on his program today, "I just ran across a couple of ads for protesters, $1,500 a week, hiring immediately, call today, start tomorrow, 15 to $18 an hour plus bonus overtime, up to 77 hours a week, Philadelphia. Craigslist.org. That's just one. There's a bunch of different recruitment ads that we have found for rioters, $1,500 a week."

We can thank George Soros, who met today with former Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D:CA) on how they can combat Trump's first 100 days, for the funding of all these actions to divide, and yes conquer, America.

America is sick and tired of this, and that contributed to Trump turning the nation red.

Real organic change are brought about by men who are principled and have deeply held beliefs they are willing to champion in a respectful and measured manner.

An America hero did that once, an individual you may think these protesters would admire and seek to emulate.

You would be wrong.  These rioters are orchestrated idiots.

Times have indeed changed. Therefore, it is now time to Make America Great Again!

A Calculating of Evil Arrogance

"Look for a Chelsea Clinton senate campaign in a super-communist state within the next five years. The pay-to-play Clinton racket will continue. This is why arch-criminals like the Clintons must be tried, and upon conviction either imprisoned or executed. 

Evil never rests. Evil never relents.  And these people are evil."--Ann Barnhardt.

The Clinton's are ever calculating the evil arrogance.

We are a nation of laws, and should certainly include to the Clinton family and all politicians that think they can comport themselves above the reach of the law. Lock Her Up!
