His spirographs aren’t selling, his lawyers are suing him for their fees, and he’s behind on child support. Says we need cheaper crack and hookers.

Matt Taibbi’s take: https://www.racket.news/p/in-brutal-document-release-the-russia?r=5mz1&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web “All three reports weren’t just unsourced and unreliable, but discarded fictions pulled out of the CIA’s trash heap. “They manipulated the manipulations,” is how ODNI Deputy Chief of Staff Alexa Henning put it. The Assessment was written by just five CIA analysts hand-picked by Brennan, but even these most favored lieutenants couldn’t accept the key pieces of evidence. Two of the five went to Brennan to say, “We don’t have direct information that Putin wanted to get Trump elected,” only to be overruled. The same thing happened when members of the group objected to the Steele material, saying it didn’t meet even “basic tradecraft standards.” When confronted on this point, Brennan reportedly said, “Yes, but doesn’t it ring true?””

Naturalized can be revoked.

Natural born or naturalized is the question.

Read he’s a U.S. citizen.

Pretty obvious, I’d say.

“During his 2024 presidential campaign, Donald Trump frequently vowed to “demolish the deep state” and leaned into conspiracy-laden rhetoric. But on the subject of Jeffrey Epstein—the convicted sex offender and financier whose death in a Manhattan jail cell in 2019 fueled years of conspiratorial obsession—Trump was notably less eager to make bold promises than many of his closest allies. While the idea of a secret “Epstein client list” became a fixation for far-right influencers and members of Trump’s base, the candidate himself rarely brought up Epstein unprompted in campaign speeches or rallies. Instead, it was Trump’s official and unofficial surrogates—many of whom now occupy top posts in his Administration—who repeatedly stoked expectations that explosive revelations were imminent, often suggesting prosecutions were coming and that thousands of pages of damning material would soon be released.“ https://time.com/7302995/donald-trump-jeffrey-epstein-jd-vance/

A while back in Iran, a woman was killed for not wearing the proper head covering. That doesn’t happen in civilized societies where liberty prevails. It caused quite a ruckus. But liberty has to be earned - and protected. In the meantime, you might want to read up on what is being referred to as the Red Green Marxist Islamist Coalition.

With an intelligence document showing that Russia had retrieved discussions within the DNC that Hiliary was a physical and mental basket case, over stimulated on tranquilizers, Comey wrote that it was “reasonably likely that hostile actors gained access to Secretary Clinton’s private email account.” Changing the wording to “possible.” before making the statement publicly. This is from documents that were restricted from being digitized, that about five hard copies exist, all locked away in super secret status, with access approved to only a few very high level officials.

If it follows previous RV predictions, Obama’s in deep trouble.

Making references without relevance is scatterbrained.

You’ll have to get more specific on your accusation of flip flops to be considered relevant.

It is a big deal. It’s a sad day when a former president’s best defense is the statute of limitations.

We’re waiting for you to tell us the names of the Iranians who wrote their Declaration of Independence and led the revolution to make Iran free.

It could be political suicide to not hold him accountable. I have long favored exile for Obama and Hiliary.

I disagree with Turley here, but he’s got time to change his mind. He may have missed that Brennan covered himself with a note memorializing his informing of Obama, in the summer of 2016, that Hiliary had authorized a scheme to connect Trump to Putin, in an effort to deflect from her server scandal. The kicker here is that the information had come to Brennan through Russian intelligence. Obama knew from the beginning that the whole thing was a hoax, yet he didn’t just allow it to continue, he urged it, guided it, and kept it secret from the people of this country. That may not meet the Constitutional definition of treason, but it doesn’t miss by much.

All your degree means is that you were able to memorize the material you were presented with. You have no idea whether that information was nonsense or not. Experience is the teacher. Geology is the degree you seek when you don’t have what it takes to be a real scientist.

Those of us who are honest and paying attention realize that when Strzok’s girlfriend texted him that Obama wanted to be told about everything they did, it puts him at the head of the operation. As usual, you offer nothing more than baseless denial and uninformed conjecture.

Some guys will climb a tree to tell a lie when standing on the ground and telling the truth paid better.

POSTED ON JULY 21, 2025 BY JOHN HINDERAKER IN BARACK OBAMA, HILLARY CLINTON, OBAMA ADMINISTRATION SCANDALS HILLARY, OBAMA AND THE FBI: RUSSIAN INTELLIGENCE SPEAKS Today the Senate Judiciary Committee released a tranche of documents relating to the FBI’s investigation of the Hillary Clinton bathroom-server scandal. Remember that? This is how the committee’s press release begins: So until now, these materials have been classified, apparently to avoid embarrassment to the Democratic Party. The truth, as reflected in the now-declassified documents, seems worse than that. I haven’t tried to fully analyze the new documents, but this memo is intensely interesting. It relates to Russian-language documents, apparently originating with Russian intelligence services: “In a 1 the | brought to the attention of the FBI Cyber Division two Russian-language documents that mentioned Attorney General Loretta Lynch. These documents were identified in the "Post-8 data" and were translated into English by an FBI linguist. Both documents appear to be reports discussing purported communications between Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who was at the time the Chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee (DNC), and two different individuals who worked for the Open Society Foundations, a family of offices and foundations created by George Soros. The FBI later determined that the would have likely obtained any communications underlying the two reports (if such communications in fact existed) through a cyber intrusion into the Atlantic Council, a private think tank. The first report is dated and the verbatim translation states in relevant part:” That is already noteworthy. But now, buckle your seat belt for the Russian communications: The first report is dated and the verbatim translation states in relevant part: Recent information appearing in the media about the FBI investigating possible facts of corruption connected with the State Department [under Clinton] and the granting of preferences to Clinton Fund donors created a negative reaction within the party, though this Information was known to Democratic Party leaders since June 2015, According to Wassermann Schultz [sic], so far the FBI does not have any hard evidence against Hillary Clinton because data was removed from the mall servers just in time. Obama is not in the mood to mar the very final segment of his presidency, his legacy with a scandal around a leading nominee for the [D]emocratic [P]arty. To deal with this he is using Attorney General Loretta Lynch to mount a pressure on FBI [D]irector James Comey, Alas, so far, with no concrete results, Comey is leaning more to [R]epublicans, and most likely he will be dragging this investigation until the presidential elections; in order to effectively undermine the chances for the [Democratic Party] to win in the presidential elections... The second Russian document: The second I report is dated verbatim translation states in relevant part: By way of forming a consensus relative to the candidacy of Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, leading the Democratic Party (DP), sanctioned use of all administrative levers to remove possibly negative effects of the FBI Investigation of the business of the Clinton Foundation and the email correspondence of the State Department. Based upon information from Wassermann Schultz [sic], the FBI does not anticipate any kind of direct evidence against Clinton, as there was timely deletion from the email servers. The political director of the Hillary Clinton staff, Amanda Renteria [PH], regularly receives information from Loretta Lynch of the Department of Justice, on the plans and intentions of the FBI. Active work is being done on clarification mostly with potential witnesses: the primary witnesses are a number of computer specialists in the Clinton private circle. They represent the only tools which may be used in this matter. Therefore, the threat is minimal.... So, to recap: “So far the FBI does not have any hard evidence against Hillary Clinton because data was removed from the mail servers just in time.” That, ostensibly from then-DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz. Then: “Obama is not in the mood to mar the very final segment of his presidency, his legacy with a scandal around a leading nominee for the [D]emocratic [P]arty. To deal with this he is using Attorney General Loretta Lynch to mount a pressure on FBI [D]irector James Comey.” And how about this: “The political director of the Hillary Clinton staff, Amanda Renteria [PH], regularly receives information from Loretta Lynch of the Department of Justice, on the plans and intentions of the FBI.” Remember the famous meeting between Loretta Lynch and Bill Clinton on an airport tarmac? The word “bombshell” is promiscuously used these days, often regarding developments that are modest at best. But these documents, on their face, deserve that characterization. Russian intelligence, of course, is not the word of God. But this wouldn’t be the first time that we learned about nefarious actions of the Obama administration through intercepted Russian intelligence communications. This deserves very aggressive follow-up. https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2025/07/hillary-obama-and-the-fbi-russian-intelligence-speaks.php

They should install bars on that horrendous monstrosity in Chicago and label it the Obama Presidential Prison Library.

It goes up to the level that only about half our STEM graduates find employment in their fields of study. Doing the jobs for the wages Americans refuse to.

You know there’s a dimocrat judge somewhere who wants to rule that CBS has to keep his show on the air.

Not in their wildest dreams.
