Priebus stayed on point and kept attacking the ridiculous claims of the "evil" Russians did it. People are worrying too much about this. There is nothing there. No proof. Nothing. IF Obummer gets the call from his puppet masters to push forward with this crap, then we'll go from there.

The left is just winding down on their misery. It's like a baby crying when it's tired. Their energy is dwindling and they'll finally take their nap.
I'm happy that enough of us woke up. No wonder they are kicking and screaming. Suck it up buttercup.

Man, the dumb is strong in that Chuck Todd.

Today at Trump Tower President Elect Donald Trump meet with Jim Brown, Ray Lewis and Pastor Darrell Scott to talk about Americas inner cities. I cannot imagine the hopelessness that a person growing up in America's inner cities must feel.

Judging from this interview and what I saw of Pastor Darrell Scott on Lou Dobbs, President Elect Trump is going to funnel money through Jim Brown's organization Amer-I-Can rather than through the typical government channels, which only help the politicians and not the people it is intended to help. President Elect Trump really wants to "Make America Great for all Americans" something I never heard a democrat say.

Can anyone recall any other incoming administration with anywhere CLOSE to this much coverage, and whining, about their picks for the heads of the various government offices?

I remember a little complaining about a select few of President Obama's appointees, and about the same for GWB. The main ones, like DOJ or SecState, but not NEARLY the amount of coverage as Trump.

We are only steps away from idiotic headlines such as "Trump's pick for Sec of Widgets once wore a blue sweater back in 1987, so he must be a member of the Crips street gang!!!! click for more detail"

Absurd.

Not a single one of those 4 speakers took the bait from the press there. Very impressive.

That is one thing I do admire about Mr. Trump. I think he is getting people on board of ALL skill sets and uses. If you want to get the country on track again, and truely "Make America Great Again" it is going to be about making the lives of EVERYONE better, from the guy with no job making barely enough to get buy, to the guy making more money than he knows what to do with. No one should be punished for being successful, no one should be punished for trying yet failing (as long as they are honestly trying).

Bringing back jobs, creating actual jobs (as opposed to having good jobs eliminated and replaced with part time, or lower paying jobs to fudge the numbers as has happened the last 10 years) is going to be huge.

If the whiners on the other side were smart, they would give the man a chance to deliver on his promises.

Most ironic, that all Trump is "doing", is what everyone could have been doing all along.

Oh, look, no chains, not Blue and Grey, no them and us, no him or her, no whatever, just people doing what people can do if they have a mind to and ignore the irrelevent noise and distraction.

Just tell the whiny snots to go sit at the kiddie table and be quiet.

That is EXACTLY why they won't be quiet.

Think about it. In each of the past elections, that side has gotten more divisive. They have tried to push the "evil Republicans versus all the minorities (LBGTQ-HBSA-ABC-XYZ, racial minorities, religious minorities, etc, etc...) They have pushed that one party divides, and THEIR party unites. Until this election, it was THEIR Party that divided. They got so "open minded" that their brains fell out so to speak.

People decided they were sick of the fringes of society dictating policy. People are SICK and TIRED of their lot not improving despite any work they do. They chose someone who had a proven record of using the current laws, climate, and public opinion to improve what he wanted improved, whether or not it was a selfish improvement or not.

Something we are seeing right now in Trump's picks for his staff is competence. Whether or not you like, or respect, the people picked the ONE thing they all have in common, is that there are ALL HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL, and successful in actual terms be they business, medicine, academics, or anything. He isn't surrounding himself with losers.

You can question their ideals or their past if you have to grasp at straws, but you cannot argue with their success. People don't become neurosurgeons, CEO's, or otherwise successful business people by being incompetent. People complain that Trump got a "starter" gift from his father. He turned that amount of money into BILLIONS of dollars.... Idiots can't do that. The man isn't an idiot.

The truth. It tells its own story.

Zippy crowed his title when first elected and the fawning media loved it.



And no one in the media said one peep about choosing WitHolder for Just-Us despite his long history of being a dirty tricks man for the DNC. Or Cankles Corrupticus as SoState despite having ZERO qualifications for that position.

Clintonworld
HUMA VS. THE “NIGHT STALKERS”
After a stunning election loss, the knives appear to be out in Clintonworld.

BY WILLIAM D. COHAN
DECEMBER 14, 2016 5:00 AM

By Aaron P. Bernstein/REUTERS.
“Maybe I’m just pissed off, but I really don’t give a shit about what happens to Huma to be honest with you,” one close adviser to Hillary Clinton told me recently. He was irked, in particular, at Abedin’s seemingly superfluous breach of decorum during a post-election event. On the day after Hillary Clinton’s stunning loss to Donald Trump, this person said, Abedin appeared within the rope line while Clinton greeted her morose and woebegone supporters. “You’re staff, O.K.?” this adviser continued. “Staff is staff. You’re not a principal.” (A spokesperson for the Clinton campaign notes that Abedin was seated alongside the rest of the campaign’s senior leadership team that morning. Abedin declined an interview request.)

In the bizarre month since Clinton’s loss, few people besides the candidate herself have seen their fortunes overturned as significantly as has Abedin, 40, the glamorous and charismatic former vice-chair of the campaign. For two decades, Abedin has been a fixture inside Clinton’s inner circle; she began her career as a college-aged White House intern and rose to become Clinton’s deputy chief of staff at the State Department. As a former adviser to Bill Clinton once put it to me, over time Abedin morphed into “a mini Hillary” herself. She wasn’t merely an aide, but rather an amalgamation of adviser, best friend, confidante, and perhaps even surrogate daughter. Abedin “inspires loyalty, and she’s loyal back,” one Clinton aide told Amy Chozick in her widely read dissection of Clintonworld for The New York Times Magazine, in 2014.

In fact, according to Chozick, Clinton appeared to countermand those who suggested that Abedin should be relegated on behalf of the sexting antics of her spouse, the randy former congressman Anthony Weiner. Clinton, Chozick reported at the time, appeared more concerned with quarantining the so-called “night stalkers”—sycophants and hangers-on from her many decades in public life—who might try to re-exert their influence. Abedin, meanwhile, was widely expected to get a big job inside a Clinton White House.



But amid Clinton’s stunning post-election hangover, some inside the inner circle wonder if Abedin became overwhelmed by the attention, and shut too many people out. “She was enjoying the red carpet and enjoying the photo spreads much too much in my opinion,” one Clinton insider told me. “She enjoyed being a celebrity too much.” The close Clinton adviser elaborated that Abedin and the other tight-knit circle of people may have suffocated Clinton, preventing the campaign from taking in outside counsel. “The real anger is toward Hillary’s inner circle,” the Clinton insider told me. “They reinforced all the bad habits.” For instance, the suggestion had been made that Clinton should show her gregarious side, by, for instance, appearing more often on The View. (She appeared once, but Bernie Sanders, her rival for the nomination, appeared a handful of times.)


According to this person, however, the inner circle nixed that idea. It seemed, this person elaborated, that even minor suggestions about changing the narrative fell on deaf ears. “Right away,” this person continued, “it was either regarded as an intrusion or a naïve suggestion or maybe someone has an agenda. And so people just stopped bothering. Where in most presidential campaigns the circle grows broader and broader, hers grew smaller and smaller.” (A spokesperson for the Clinton campaign refutes this characterization, noting that the campaign may have had up to three times as many people on their plane during the election’s final weeks.)

In the month since the election, Abedin, once ubiquitous, has essentially vanished from public view. She was absent from the recent, and public, campaign exhumation that occurred at Harvard’s Kennedy School, during which her former colleagues tussled with Trump supporters such as Kellyanne Conway and Corey Lewandowski. Recently, the Daily Mail captured Abedin shopping at the Lululemon store on lower Fifth Avenue with her four-year-old son, Jordan, in tow. The story followed a report in the New York Post noting that Weiner, in the wake of his most recent sexting scandal, had cut short his rehab stay after about 30 days, supposedly because he ran out of money. (His family had wanted him to stay for 90 days, at a cost of around $1,000 per day, Richard Johnson reported in Page Six, and his parents reportedly took out a mortgage on their home to help him pay for the cost of the treatment.)

Compounding Weiner’s financial woes, in early December, the New York City Campaign Finance Board fined him more than $65,000 for a variety of infractions related to his mayoral campaign. Weiner apparently spent $600 of his campaign funds on televisions, another $1,539 on his personal dry-cleaning and cell-phone service, and more than $115,000 for a group of expenditures after the campaign was over. Weiner was also ordered to repay some $195,000 in matching campaign funds. Preet Bharara, the U.S. Attorney in the Southern District of New York, is reportedly investigating Weiner’s latest round of sexting, along with the F.B.I. and the New York City police.

Aside from Weiner’s public mishegas, Abedin has her own problems—namely coming to grips with the blame directed at her for the new stash of Clinton e-mails that ended up on his personal computer and that became the focus of F.B.I. director James Comey’s now infamous late-October letter to Congress. In the wake of her loss, Clinton told donors that Comey’s letter had cost her the election. Fairly or not, many people blame Comey’s letter with abruptly changing the narrative about Clinton at the penultimate moment of the campaign (despite his subsequent November 6 letter saying nothing new of substance was found on the computer).

But perhaps Abedin’s biggest challenge is that she may soon have a new boss for virtually the first time in her life. The Clinton insider reiterated that Huma, who has spent 21 years at Clinton’s side, might need to prepare for the reality, moving forward, that her “juice” was “tied to Clinton’s ascendancy.” Nevertheless, this person continued, “she’s someone that will be sought after either personally or through business from many rich, very rich connected people.” He concluded: “She’ll do very well for herself.”


On December 15, Clinton is having a big party in Manhattan at the Plaza Hotel, once owned by Trump, for her campaign donors, as a sort of thank-you and keep-in-touch farewell. It is expected to cost more than $100,000 and be paid for with excess campaign funds. Clintonworld insiders will be interested to see if Abedin shows up or whether she chooses to skip the celebration to stay at home to nurse her wounds.

http://www.breitbart.com/big-g...senate-ratification/

With just over a month left in office and no gun control achievements to speak of during his time in the White House, President Obama has sent the United Nation’s Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) to the Senate for one last shot at ratification.

It was signed by Secretary of State John Kerry on September 25, 2013, but it is not binding because Republican Senators shot down ratification efforts.

At the time that Kerry signed the treaty the NRA warned, “This treaty threatens individual firearm ownership with an invasive registration scheme [and is full of regulations and requirements that are] blatant attacks on the constitutional rights of every law-abiding American.”

the treaty encourages records for “end use or end [users]” to be maintained for “a minimum of ten years” after the weapons reach their final destination. This requires the creation of a database of sales records–which would include information on the weapons and the owners–and that information would be internationally maintained; after all, this is a UN treaty.

Senator Bob Corker (R-TN):

Since 2012, many senators, including myself, have expressed opposition to the small arms treaty, citing an array of concerns with Second Amendment rights. Nothing has changed over the last four years to suggest the treaty is in our national interest, and it will remain dead in the water. I reiterate my strong opposition and will work with my colleagues to protect the rights of Americans.

Barry's just going to have to suck it up, Ain't happenin'. If he doesn't know this, he's even stupider than I've thought, and that would be quite an achievment.
As a matter of fact, for American gunowners, it's fair winds and following seas, now that we have a genuine leader, and not a bedwetting pantywaist America-hater.

This is what happens when an experienced business man gets involved opposed to an experienced politician.

It is endlessly entertaining to watch Obummer's final death spasms. I never thought that he would go out so unspectacularly. For the first time in a long time, I feel like the country will be better off for my baby girl.

I don't care what he tries.

Maybe I am being naïve, but I just don't think something can be done that can't be UNdone with enough political will.

And right now, we have more political will than we have had in decades.

Bring it, bitches.

Remember all the talk- amongst people who didn't like him- about how brilliant was this asshole? Remember? People were looking at the stupid shit he was doing and they were saying "Oh, this means something."
My response was yeah, it means he's stupid. But, no, some people were convinced that Obama was so smart, he was operating 20 moves ahead of everyone else, and only after some time would we mere mortals see the purpose and his plan.
Well, here we are, years later, and guess what? The evidence is abundant that this guy is just what I and others have been saying about him all along- he's a freakin' idiot, propped up by people who saw him as a figure head they could get into office. Propped up and stupid. That's what we said he was, and that's exactly what he's turned out to be.

Look at him. He's about to leave office, with his only "accomplishment" about to be dismantled. He didn't do anything to help his gun control, cause- quite the opposite. Barack Obama is personally reaponsible for the sale of tens of millions of firearms and billions of rounds of ammunition. Gun control? He's done the exact opposite of what he intended, and that makes him stupid.
He's further divided the country and he has essentially killed the Democratic party. Just look at all the Dems have lost at the federal, state and local levels. The Dems have been decimated, and in 2018, they'll be done for years, if not for good.

And people thought this jackass was a genius? Barack Obama is nothing more than exactly what he appears to be.

This is all looking a lot like Jack Ryan in Executive Orders. Well, at least some good similarities in how Jack tried to rebuild the government to actually work for the people and not itself. Hell, Jack was even Russian friendly, after been their gifted amateurish adversary so often.

I always was impressed with Tom Clancy's astute grasp of the Geo-political situation back then.

The last 4 1/2 weeks of Political shock & awe are my kind of shock and awe.

He is just like the people that voted for him. Some of my neighbors have long faces and seem to be down in the dumps. I just smile and ignore them.

If I spoke to them and said "Have a nice day", their heads would explode.
