This is true karma. Some of Obama's worst deeds coming back to haunt him. This is so unexpected and extreme that no one would have imagined it. This is going to be a great year. Lock him up! -c1steve | |||

This open warfare against the President in order to bring him down is beyond disgusting. The left is not opposing his policies or agenda, they are seeking to destroy his administration. The media no longer attempts to hide their absolute lack of objectivity. We've reached medieval era politics. My pessimism for the future of our country is growing. | |||

The new travel ban is out. The libtards are still whining. WASHINGTON — President Trump signed an executive order Monday significantly scaling back his original travel ban from January. The new order drops language that privileges “religious minorities” in refugee admissions from Syria and other countries. The new executive order goes into effect on March 16. Trump’s January executive order was blocked nationwide by a federal judge in Washington for potentially encouraging unconstitutional religious discrimination. That case is still winding its way through the courts. Among other things, the original executive order called into question the U.S. visas and green cards of people from seven majority-Muslim countries, including Iraq and Syria, while also suspending all refugee admissions from any country for four months and banning Syrian refugees indefinitely. Later the administration clarified that green card holders from the countries would be exempted. The new executive order drops Iraq from the list of seven countries that will be banned and now only bars people from the six remaining countries from receiving visas in the future. It wholly exempts immigrants who currently hold valid U.S. visas from the ban and reinstates bans canceled by the original order. Refugees from Syria are no longer indefinitely barred from entering the United States, though the entire U.S. refugee program is still suspended for four months. “To our allies and partners around the world, please understand this order is part of our ongoing efforts to eliminate vulnerabilities that radical Islamic terrorists can and will exploit for destructive ends,” Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said in a brief news conference after the order was signed. The text of the new executive order also states that Attorney General Jeff Sessions informed the president that the FBI is currently investigating 300 people who originally came to the country as refugees for potential terrorist plots or ties. The new order directs the administration to release a report in 180 days that publicizes how many foreign-born individuals were “radicalized” once entering the United States and how many were implicated in terrorist activity. It also asks the administration to track “honor killings” in the country. President Trump. (Photo: Jonathan Ernst/Reuters) President Trump (Photo: Jonathan Ernst/Reuters) More Perhaps the most important change for the executive order’s chances in the courts is the dropping of portions of January’s order that appeared to carve out exceptions for religious minorities. The new executive order defended the previous order’s directive to privilege religious minorities in Syria and other countries when making case-by-case decisions about letting refugees into the United States despite the ban, but did not repeat that language. Those sections were specifically cited by the Ninth Circuit justices who blocked the order from going into effect as potential religious discrimination. “That order was not motivated by animus toward any religion, but was instead intended to protect the ability of religious minorities — whoever they are and wherever they reside — to avail themselves of the [refugee program] in light of their particular challenges and circumstances,” the new order states. Trump administration officials speaking anonymously insisted to reporters on a call Monday that the new, significantly revised order is not a concession that its original one is unconstitutional, but is the fastest way for the president to protect national security without court interference. The Ninth Circuit judges also objected to the first version of the executive order for depriving legal immigrants from the banned countries of their legal rights to travel and return to the United States, since their visas would have been invalidated if they had done so. The Fifth Amendment right to due process applies to any people residing in the United States, not just U.S. citizens, the court reminded the Trump administration. The administration clarified days after the order went into effect that it did not apply to legal permanent residents of the United States, also referred to as green card holders. But the Ninth Circuit said it could not trust the government to stick to that interpretation, given how often it had changed its mind. The new order is much clearer that it does not apply to green card holders, potentially helping it clear the legal bar. However, a spokesman for the American Civil Liberties Union, which filed lawsuits against the original order, said the change is not enough to make it legal. “The Trump administration must think the American people are fools if they think we don’t all see this for what it is — a Muslim ban,” said Faiz Shakir, national political director of the ACLU. “It is denying entry to Muslim visa applicants and Muslim refugees. It fulfills Trump’s dreams and ambitions of imposing a religious test on those who enter the United States.” However, the changed executive order means that some of the plaintiffs in the original lawsuits may now lack standing. For example, Iraqis who are no longer banned. But the ACLU said it would be amending its lawsuits and may file new challenges. “We’ll see you in court,” said ACLU’s National Legal Director David Cole. https://www.yahoo.com/news/tru...guage-163854132.html SIG556 Classic P220 Carry SAS Gen 2 SAO SP2022 9mm German Triple Serial P938 SAS P365 FDE Psalm 118:24 "This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it" | |||

On 1 March the Daily Mail published a story that Valerie Jarrett had moved in with the Obamas. That story got rereported all over various media and online news sites. On 2 Mar, snopes.com put up a comment on the story and reported that "Kevin Lewis, Barack Obama’s post-presidency spokesman, called the story “absurd” and devoid of facts, stating to us that Jarrett was neither moving in with the Obamas nor launching a political movement intended to oust President Trump from office." http://www.snopes.com/2017/03/...rett-move-in-obamas/ I have been looking to see Kevin Lewis' denial in any other news source. Haven't seen it. Just seems odd that something as bizarre as Jarrett moving in w the Obamas gets denied by the Obama spokesman, and there are no follow up clarifications or questions from any sources. | |||

I agree... the obvious follow up question would be: "where does Ms. Jarrett live? "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

Close it down a few stop and replace "President, etc" in the above, with "me or I" and "us" in place of "administration", and the depth of field is amazing. "We the People..." are the target. The Constitution (and what that word actuallay means) of these United States, and its destruction, is the endgame.

No idea whether snopes report on this is accurate, or not. However, snopes lost all credibility long ago with their pandering to the wild eyed left.

The NYT article that bama highlighted above was in the paper 19 and 20 Jan 2017 https://www.nytimes.com/2017/0...s-investigation.html American law enforcement and intelligence agencies are examining intercepted communications and financial transactions as part of a broad investigation into possible links between Russian officials and associates of President-elect Donald J. Trump, including his former campaign chairman Paul Manafort, current and former senior American officials said. It is not clear whether the intercepted communications had anything to do with Mr. Trump’s campaign, or Mr. Trump himself. It is also unclear whether the inquiry has anything to do with an investigation into the hacking of the Democratic National Committee’s computers and other attempts to disrupt the elections in November Mr. Manafort is among at least three Trump campaign advisers whose possible links to Russia are under scrutiny. Two others are Carter Page, a businessman and former foreign policy adviser to the campaign, and Roger Stone, a longtime Republican operative. The F.B.I. is leading the investigations, aided by the National Security Agency, the C.I.A. and the Treasury Department’s financial crimes unit. The investigators have accelerated their efforts in recent weeks but have found no conclusive evidence of wrongdoing, the officials said. One official said intelligence reports based on some of the wiretapped communications had been provided to the White House. that would be obama Counterintelligence investigations examine the connections between American citizens and foreign governments. Those connections can involve efforts to steal state or corporate secrets, curry favor with American government leaders or influence policy. It is unclear which Russian officials are under investigation, or what particular conversations caught the attention of American eavesdroppers. Representatives of the agencies involved declined to comment. Of the half-dozen current and former officials who confirmed the existence of the investigations, some said they were providing information because they feared the new administration would obstruct their efforts. All spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the cases. | |||
