A series of maps of Judea and Samaria, focusing on the placement of Jewish communities and Israeli military facilities in the area, provoked a dramatic change in the Obama administration’s policies vis-à-vis Israel, a report by The New Yorker claims. According to the report Monday, a presentation by then-Secretary of State John Kerry to President Barack Obama in the waning days of the administration ‘shocked’ the president into taking a more aggressive stance towards Israel, withholding America’s veto on a United Nations Security Council resolution critical of Israeli policies in Judea and Samaria. The Obama administration, like its predecessors, had...

Video: www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/film/lost-in-detention/ A PBS Frontline video from Obama’s time in office inadvertently proves that separating families of illegals didn’t begin with President Trump. In fact, from the 19:00 point in the PBS film “Lost in Detention” transcript featuring Pres. Obama’s top advisor on immigration, Cecelia Munoz said, “THEY DON’T HAVE TO LIKE IT” referring to kids being separated from their parents. The Democrats and the media have forgotten this… Cecelia Munoz on enforcing the immigration laws: “What Pres. OBAMA is doing is enforcing the law of the land. That’s our obligation as the federal government. … Congress passes a series...

MSNBC’s “AM Joy” host Joy Reid lamented Sunday how the media viewed former President George W. Bush and Sarah Palin as authentic and enchanting because of their speech while also “disparaging” former President Barack Obama for “being almost too erudite and articulate.” “There is a thing in Republican Party politics where not being erudite as a speaker is seen as a virtue,” said Reid. “It was with George W. Bush, the idea that he’s plain-spoken, and so, when he would mangle the language — even the media would read that as authentic and great, right? He would make up words...

Key Trump administration officials have been confronted at restaurants. Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) urged protestors to hound Trump officials at restaurants, gas stations or department stores. Progressive pundits and the liberal media almost daily think up new ways of characterizing President Trump as a Nazi, fascist, tyrant or buffoon. Celebrities openly fantasize about doing harm to Trump. What is behind the unprecedented furor? Just as Barack Obama was not a centrist, neither is Trump. Obama promised to fundamentally transform the United States. Trump pledged to do the same and more — but in the exact opposite direction. The Trump agenda...

A man with a long-standing beef against the Annapolis, Maryland, newspaper Capital Gazette entered the paper’s headquarters with a shotgun and murdered five staffers. It represents the deadliest attack on U.S. reporters in modern history. Before learning about the suspect’s mental issues and his long-standing feud with the newspaper, some in the media blamed President Donald Trump. After all, critics said, Trump routinely denounces “fake news” as an existential threat to our republic. Connect the dots, they said. Blame Trump! CNN aired a montage of Trump’s attacks on the media. Rob Cox, a Reuters editor, tweeted: “This is what happens...

Writers say the darndest things. The Canadian novelist Margaret Atwood, for example, said the following when she addressed fellow literary worthies at a PEN America awards gala. Quoting her word for word, she said: "When democracy is in retreat, the first thing authoritarians do is silence those who are telling stories they dislike." So true. Applause! Applause! Atwood continued: "While the United States isn't putting reporters in prison yet, the tactics of the current administration are dangerous." Who could that be? Naturally she meant Trump as being authoritarian, and dangerous enough to put reporters in prison, though not yet. It’s...

Bill Maher has offered Mitt Romney $1M to take over the United States. The HBO late night star reminded viewers that, when the former Massachusetts governor ran for POTUS in 2012, “I was so scared Romney was going to be president I gave Obama a million bucks.” Explaining what a difference a few years, and one Donald Trump presidency, can make, Maher announced, “I would gladly give Romney $1M tomorrow if he would take over America. Swear to god!” “I will become a Mormon, how about that?” the well-known atheist said, upping the offer on Bill Maher: Live From Oklahoma,...

An African-American millionaire and his Manhattan consultant son were victims of a July 4th hate crime in their hotel room during a Florida vacation. A racist creep apparently snuck into Frank and Michael Davis’ room at the upscale Art Ovation Hotel in Sarasota and left a 2-by-5 post-it note reading, “You’re a N—-R.” After returning to their sixth-floor room from breakfast, the Davises found the sickening message placed on a globe-shaped bedside lamp. “I was stone cold for 30 to 40 seconds when I read the note,” Michael Davis, 27, a consultant for a financial firm, told The Post. “My...

It’s time we all faced a cold reality: no one actually “cares-cares” about those kids separated from their families at the border.  Oh, we all feel the emotions: sickening sadness, sympathy, national embarrassment, frustration, and anger.  Those feelings, however, aren’t really because “kids are kept in cages,” but rather because Trump put kids in cages. Look, the reason we study history is so that we can learn from it.  Our 21st Century history tells us that 99.999% of the American people don’t freak out whenever kids are kept in cages or separated from their parents.   It’s happened for centuries.  Almost...

The American people/voters have been told openly by none other then the Democrat leaders in the House & Senate, Nancy Pelosi & Chuck Schumer that Barack Hussein Obama will be the Democrat active political campaign Leader for the Mid-Term Election of 2018. It is now near the middle of July, 2018 and, the supposed great Democrat leader, Obama appears to be hiding out in his "Walled In", Washington, DC Mansion, rather then actively campaigning out on the political hustings. I suspect that Obama and his "Hate/Destroy" the American Republic allies are busy at work planning their evil goals. However, history...

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer reportedly asked President Trump to nominate Barack Obama’s Supreme Court pick this week; urging the Commander-in-Chief to put forward Merrick Garland to replace outgoing Justice Anthony Kennedy. According to the Hill, Schumer made the request in private; asking Trump to advance Garland after his nomination process stalled in 2016. “A person familiar with the conversation said on Thursday that Schumer told Trump in a phone call that lasted less than five minutes on Tuesday that the move would help unify the country,” writes the Hill. The Democratic leader penned an editorial in the New York...

Happy Independence Day, America, better days are coming in November Midterms Searching for the Obamas’ ‘Happy July 4th’ message on the ‘Net today. None exist as of this writing. Nothing on their Twitter or Facebook accounts. It would cost them nothing to post: “Happy Birthday America!” Both Obamas would have had nothing were it not for the United States of America.

On July 4, we remember the founding or our nation, we must also remember that our freedom is not free, and thank those that sacrificed so much, on our behalf. The poem below, recalls the sacrifice of 2 Navy Seals in Benghazi, deliberately and willfully abandoned by Obama/Hillary.. We remember them with honor & memorialize their memories, along with multitudes of other brave American heroes. May they R.I.P. Wendy Gilmore-Pollak A SHORT POEM YOU WON'T FORGET ! "A bump in the road" .... remember that callous statement ? I do recall President Obama / Hillary Clinton referring to the Benghazi...

Skadden partner Gregory Craig, the former White House counsel under President Barack Obama, also worked on the report, as did partners Cliff Stone and Margaret Krawiec. Associates who worked on the report included Alex Haskell, Paul Kerlin, Kara Roseen and Allon Kedem, who is now a lawyer in the solicitor general’s office. Manafort’s indictment claims he likely lobbied and paid at least in part for the report. Van der Zwaan’s case is assigned to U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson, who also oversees the case against Manafort and Gates. The charges are the latest from Mueller as his activity appears...

It’s about time… finally someone does a great job of explaining why President Trump’s plan is 100 times better and safer than Obama’s plan. Hopefully, whistleblower Jason Piccalo will go on TV and start screaming this to the public. I hope he gets on Hannity or Tucker Carlson to show what has happened to many children during the Obama Administration. This is important! While everyone on the left is screaming about the illegal alien children being put into detention centers, it’s important to remember that the Obama policy of catch and release put the kids in danger by placing some...

Socialism, Marxism and Communism not only destroy nations, they kill the human soul. Civil society has staggered to the sickening stage where your life can now be totally ruined—not for what you said—but for what someone else said you said. Totally invented accusations against innocent parties, destructive ones that turn lives upside down, are free on Twitter and other hard core left social media, now a driving force of ‘communication’. Wishing people dead, threatening to kill the children of someone with whom you politically disagree, “F’ Donald Trump!” have become a social media norm.

WASHINGTON — A U.S. State Department employee pleaded guilty Monday to producing thousands of images of videos of child pornography over a two-year period. Skydance MacMahon, a 44-year-old Alexandria resident, used hidden cameras to produce sexually explicit images and videos of minor children in Canada, according to court documents. MacMahon worked with a woman in Canada to produce the child pornography and distributed the videos and images through cloud storage and email. Police found pornographic images of children on an Ohio man’s cellphone in November 2017, and authorities were able to link Dropbox media of child porn to an account...
