Why POTUS 44 would not have screened Darkest Hour at the White House
On December 18, President Trump invited lawmakers to the White House for a screening of Darkest Hour, starring Gary Oldman as Winston Churchill. Such a screening would never have happened under the previous president.
On his first day in office, POTUS 44 removed a bust of Winston Churchill from the Oval Office and returned it to Britain. When the eviction made news, White House mouthpiece Dan Pfeiffer said the story was 100 per cent false. But as the Telegraph reported, long after the denial, Barack Obamas White House has been forced to admit that it did return a bust of Sir Winston Churchill to British diplomats. This move has roots in the presidents mentor, Frank Marshall Davis, who shows up as the beloved Frank in Dreams from My Father.
As professor Paul Kengor showed in The Communist: Frank Marshall Davis the Untold Story of Barack Obamas Mentor, the African American Davis was a faithful Stalinist who spent a great deal of his life supporting the all-white Communist dictatorships of the Soviet Union.
On August 23, 1939, Soviet dictator Josef Stalin signed a pact with Nazi dictator Adolph Hitler. The Hitler-Stalin Pact divided up Europe and gave the Baltic states to Stalin. The USSR and Nazi Germany invaded Poland, effectively starting World War II.
During the Pact, the Soviet intelligence services aided the Nazis then attacking Britain, which stood virtually alone. The Communist Party USA, a Soviet creation that ran candidates in U.S. elections, opposed U.S. aid to Britain, and urged the United States to stay out of an Imperialist war. American Communists denounced President Roosevelt as a warmonger and did everything in their power to cripple the U.S. defense industry.
North American Aviation produced warplanes and during the Pact, a Communist union struck their plant in California. President Roosevelt considered the strike an emergency, and sent in federal troops to safeguard the plant. The strike, FDR wrote, had been inspired and directed by Communist forces, interested not in the advancement of labor but in the defeat and overthrow of the United States.
The Pact ended in on June 22, 1941, when Hitler betrayed his ally and attacked the USSR. The United States stepped up aid to Britain but did not become directly involved in the war until after the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor in December of 1941. The Communists then changed sides and supported the Allies, but that support ended after the War.
For Communists such as Davis, Churchill was not a hero of the Allied victory but a symbol of imperialism but only the British Empire. The Communists ignored the vast Russian empire, which the Communists did not turn loose but subjected to totalitarian rule far more repressive than anything the czars had imposed. As Paul Kengor discovered, Davis also disliked Churchill because the British prime minister was the ultimate anti-communist. Davis charge that Churchill, whose country had been attacked, sought to bludgeon all other countries into submission. At the nadir of Stalinist oppression, Davis warned of Anglo-American imperialist domination.
In March, 1946, Churchill warned of a Stalins iron curtain closing across Europe. Frank Marshall Davis and his fellow Communists claimed the problem was G.M.s iron curtain. Frank declaimed endlessly against big business, Wall Street and so forth, and as The Communist notes, on virtually all political themes Franks views bear remarkable similarities to those of POTUS 44. So no surprise that he would evict the bust of Winston Churchill, and with foreign adversaries his style was the opposite of Churchills.POTUS 44 gave the Russians everything they wanted, explaining that he would have even more flexibility in his second term. That was Franks influence but POTUS 44 was more than a Davis clone. He attended a Muslim school in Indonesia and told the world the future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam. He enabled a massive Islamschluss that has made the nation and world much more dangerous.
The Nazis and Soviets never recruited people to crash airliners into buildings in New York City, or run down civilians with a truck. The Nazis and Soviets never infiltrated operatives to gun down innocent people at a Christmas party in San Bernardino. Muslim jihadists did that, and much more, that but POTUS 44 never recognized their jihad. Indeed, he called Soldier of Allah Nidal Hasans mass murder at Fort Hood a case of workplace violence, not even gun violence.
Where the former Barry Soetoro proved the most militant was weaponizing the FBI and Justice Department into a transition team for his designated successor Hillary Clinton. When she lost, the corrupt FBI and Justice Department set out to frame the winner, Donald Trump.
The day of the Darkest Hour screening, President Trump announced a new approach for national security that will, first and foremost, protect the homeland, the American people, and American way of life. The Islamic jihadists, as they openly proclaim, are out to attack the homeland, kill American people, and end the American way of life. As the recent bombing attempt in New York confirms, the Islamschluss has brought their fighters into our very midst. Therefore, as Winston Churchill said, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills. And most important, we shall never surrender.

Fake news. Has not happened, at least, has not been verified.
Appears to be an annual hoax.
Which, if we’re being precise, is British sovereign soil.

Obama would have told Harvey Weinstein to get production on the movie stopped.

Good one
Obama would have loaned his fake Roman columns to Hitler. All about illusion and demagogery.
“”returned it to Britain””.
“it did return a bust of Sir Winston Churchill to British diplomats””
After all this time you would think writers would get it right. There was never a lack of things to criticize about obozo or his administration so that yarn about the bust of Churchill being returned to Britain was totally unnecessary. It was cleared up not long after that story ran that the bust was at the GB embassy in DC....
Trump could start by firing every Obama appointee in the Executive branch. Better late than never. The swamp would drain instantly. Hasn’t happened.
I may have time to redeem myself before the year ends but it looks like I’ll fail. I didn’t read the replies when I posted my own about the article being wrong...For some reason it’s always annoyed me that writers preferred their version of events and not the truth regarding this subject of the Churchill bust. I will again vow for 2018 that I will not post a reply until I’ve read the other replies..
As I just posted we never ran out of things to criticize obozo for so complaining about that particular one could have been ignored.
If the reports weren’t deliberately meant to deceive the public, they would have reported the bust was sent to the British Embassy in DC. No one did that, did they?
So are you saying that Obama did NOT want the bust removed from his presence, and had no animus toward Churchill? Because as others have pointed out the Britush embassy is considered foreign soil and I can see no other interpretation than that this move was an insult to Great Britain.
The schadenfreude is almost unbearable!
. . . which is to say, it was in British territory.
That should have been completed by March-April of 2017 at latest. That’s my strongest criticism of President Trump, too slow removing enemies.
In 1965, a group of US Citizens, who were war-time colleagues of Churchill, donated one of these castings to the White House, it was the one seen in the area of the "Treaty Room". In the time following the horror of 09/11/01, that casting (apparently) was being restored and the Government of the UK 'loaned' one of their castings and President Bush (43) gave it a place of honor in the Oval Office. After the restoration, the White House owned casting was returned to its place near the Treaty Room while the loaned casting remained in the Oval Office.
Following President Obama's Inauguration in 2009, the loaned casting was returned to the UK Government custody and stayed at the UK Embassy. Whether this was at the President's desire or the UK Government is left ambiguous by the relevant officials. The White House Spokesman, Dan Pheiffer, in 2012, emphatically called the removal of the Churchill Bust a lie by pointing out the presence of the original 1965 casting at the Treaty Room.
Now, after a request from the new US President Donald Trump to the UK Prime Minister Theresa May, the previously loaned UK-owned casting was again loaned to the White House and put in the Oval Office. So the 1965 WH owned bust is where it has been for years, outside the Treaty Room, and the UK-owned bust is in the Oval Office. It should be remembered that Sir Winston Churchill, the son of an American-born mother, Jennie Jerome, was the first person to be awarded a honorary US Citizenship (1963).
Nailed it. I’m still shocked this nation elected a muslim; especially 7 years after they knocked down to cherished building that were also landmarks in America. They hit us hard and below the belt then the idiot left and far too many moderate independents voted that hateful Un-American vile creature into WH knowing next to nothing about him with his sealed documents that proved he had a lot to hide.
I would really like to see those document unsealed. I bet we would find out he committed a felony by claiming to be a foreign student getting preferential treatment by being admitted to Ivy colleges as a token Affirmative Action enrollee to get the quota numbers up. Obola is not more than a C- student on his best day and he’s as dumb as a rock who could barely speak in public without a teleprompter telling him exactly what to say. He didn’t even know what he was saying but he was good at reading aloud.
Truly unreal how this country got scammed by such a shyster but he did have a lot of help making him the ultimate Post Turtle. You know that turtle laying on top of a post shouldn’t be there so it had to have help getting there but then had no idea what to do when up there so it did what it was told by his handler; ValJar.
“”So are you saying that Obama did NOT want the bust removed from his presence””
Did I say that? What I said was it could just as easily have been written that the bust was removed to their embassy in the US and people could have avoided for over 8 years saying it was sent to Great Britain but then it wouldn’t have been nearly as much fun as repeating it over and over erroneously, would it? There was enough to find fault with about that jerk without that. And yes, it is nit picking to say - well, it’s the same thing - Great Britain or their embassy... I guess someone could say “I’m going to GB” and we could conclude they might be going to the GB embassy.
“”which is to say, it was in British territory.””
Which is the same as saying, “the bust was sent back to Great Britain”, right?
