This time tomorrow President Hussein Obama will be enjoying his new life of golf, prayer rugs, golf, and probably pizza. Maybe with some golf too. He made his final state telephone call to Germany’s Angela Merkel.

SVR RF.

Through my Russian connections, I happen to have a partial transcript of the conversation (already in progress but all in English, until the very end):

Obama: …really don’t care about the $10 Trillion. Just don’t give a hoot. It’s not like I have to pay it back.

Merkel: But the Deutsche Bank will be under by summer. We never got the loan guarantees!

Obama: Trump can … He’s got that Munchkin … Luncheon … whoever… Janet’s still around. They’ll work out …

Unknown male (American side): Mr. [?] President, they said a 2 o’clock tee time works for everyone.

Obama: Splendid! Tell [muffled] that we’re on! And get some of those little … you know … for the trip. Did Michelle say it was okay?

Unknown male: We never got a chance to …

Obama: Good. Glad we’re all on the same page. Make sure they pack my red rug for the greens. Contrast.

Unknown male [?]: [muffled]

Obama: [laughs]

Merkel: Hello?!

Obama: Look, Amanda …

Merkel: Angela …

Obama: Right, Samantha … Look the point is, just keep bringing them in. Try to get another million before the Bun…

Merkel: ANOTHER (shouting) million! But I only have until September.

Obama: No. Don’t think that way. I saw some polls that …

Merkel: Hillary saw some polls.

Obama: You Germans and the polls!

Merkel and Obama: [laughing]

Obama: Seriously. Where was I? No. Nine months is long enough. Just import as many as you can.

Merkel: We didn’t … AfD …

Obama: My time runs out … like … two … tomorrow I’m done. Can’t really get anymore here. It’s on you and the Frogs.

Merkel: One more attack and the AfD owns Berlin! Have you seen that poll!?

Unknown female (American side): [muffled]

Obama: Patriots?

Unknown female: Yes, sir.

Obama: Uh … Brady… um …. under, twenty-five grand!

Unknown female: [muffled] … pizza is here.

Obama: Ooooooh. Okay. Hey, Murray …

Merkel: MERKEL!

Obama: Myrtle. Look. Just keep it up. The brotherhood will try to make sure the next bombing is …

Merkel: Bombing?!

Obama: Look, I gotta run. It’s all good. Just two million more should do it.

Merkel: But… I am finished!

Obama: All gonna work out.

Merkel: May, Le Pen, Trump. Frauke is coming…

Obama: Alla…

Merkel: They’re in the streets!

Obama: … bar …

Merkel: Threatened to burn my hou…

Obama: Atta, girl!

Merkel: Barry! Barry! Save us…

Obama: … smell pizza and my driver! You play, Martha? … Good. December,maybe?

Merkel: I’m in the bunker!

Obama: I try to avoid those. Nice talking to you, Fräulein…

Merkel: (hysterical) [unintelligible] … want my head!

Obama: Tootles!

Merkel: GOTTVERDAMMT!!!!

**American side hangs up. Line goes silent…

Well… Not sure what to make of all that. A million or two more what?

Anyway, I’d like to take this time to wish Obama a very happy retirement. I’ll go ahead and do the same for the outgoing Chancellor too.

Many thanks to Sergey for the transcript and the cool picture.

Now, on with the West!

I wish Trump well as our 45th President – mostly because I am optimistic he will do even just a few of the things he said that got him elected. And that those things will work for the best. That is in contradiction to my general assessment of where we are headed as a nation.

Folks, this is it. Love him or hate him, Trump is the last shot at regaining even a semblance of the Old Republic. It’s a very tall order and an extremely heavy burden. This is about reviving, maybe even imitating, not continuing. If he fails, then we enter new and uncharted territory. Dark territory. We should start to find out by the end of this year.*

Selective “Justice”: Chelsea Manning’s Sentence Commuted

17 Tuesday Jan 2017

≈ Comments Off on Selective “Justice”: Chelsea Manning’s Sentence Commuted

Bradley Chelsea Manning had his her sentence pardoned commuted by the outgoing President Sotoro Obama. (Damn Darn).

President Obama on Tuesday commuted all but four months of the remaining prison sentence of Chelsea Manning, the army intelligence analyst convicted of a 2010 leak that revealed American military and diplomatic activities across the world, disrupted his administration and brought global prominence to WikiLeaks, the recipient of those disclosures.

The decision by Mr. Obama rescued Ms. Manning, who twice tried to kill herself last year, from an uncertain future as a transgender woman incarcerated at the men’s military prison at Fort Leavenworth, Kan. She has been jailed for nearly seven years, and her 35-year sentence was by far the longest punishment ever imposed in the United States for a leak conviction.

At the same time that Mr. Obama commuted the sentence of Ms. Manning, a low-ranking enlisted soldier at the time of her leaks, he also pardoned Gen. James E. Cartwright, the former vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff who pleaded guilty to lying about his conversations with reporters to F.B.I. agents investigating a leak of classified information about cyberattacks on Iran’s nuclear program.

Make of this what you will. I have a head neck ache…

Obama also pardon some drug dealers.

No pardon, yet, for the still-male Edward Snowden. Carlos Slim’s blog seems to think he should face “justice” in U.S. courts first. Of course, Snowden has offered to return from Russia if the government will only guarantee him a fair trial. That, they will not do as fair trials went out of fashion in 1945. It’s either a pardon or life in Russia (which apparently ain’t so bad).

Some get relief. Some do not.

The treasonous rats of D.C. scurry about the Congressional sewer, almost panicked, in their frenzy to grant amnesty to illegal aliens, welfarians, and terrorists. Fitting.

Meanwhile, eight million decent American citizens are in trouble with the IRS: either behind on their taxes, accused of owing taxes they don’t owe, in tax repayment plans, in court, under audit, or under investigation. Their crime was producing a little wealth. Absolutely no relief for them (us) whatsoever.

taxdebt1

When the IRS says you owe something you have two options. One, you can fight it out in Tax Court. This is a show trial and the whole time penalties, interest, and possible indictment simmer. Then you lose and have to pay. Or, you can pay what they tell you and then sue them in District Court. There you get a show trial and lose, having to pay your attorney in addition to the earlier extortion tax payment.

This is not what Jefferson, Madison, and Franklin had in mind. Hamilton, maybe. Political prisoners have their fates decided politically. Dead-to-rights guilty criminals get away Scott-free with a hug and a welfare check. Hardworking, innocent Americans get treated like slaves.

We can do better than this. Therefore,

I hereby call on and beseech President Trump,

(as of Friday, noonish) to do the following:

  • Pardon all federal convicts, not convicted of Piracy, Counterfeiting, or Treason;
  • Carefully look into those three or four Americans actually convicted of those Constitutional crimes for political motivation;
  • If said motivation is found, then pardon them too;
  • Round up and deport all aliens and immigrants, ship them out, and halt all incoming immigration;
  • Abolish the Immigration Act of 1965;
  • Deport Congress;
  • Abolish the 16th Amendment and the Income Tax;
  • Abolish the Federal Reserve;
  • Abolish the IRS;
  • Declare all senior staff at the Fed, the Treasury, and the IRS enemy combatants; and
  • Appoint me to deal with the enemy combatants.

That will do for starters. Now, I have a neck back ache to attend to…

The End of Obamacare?

There’s no doubt the ACA is finished. It’s bankrupt; it doesn’t work; its killing coverage; the coverage afforded is basically unusable; doctor’s are fleeing; insurance companies are abandoning entire states; and, of course, it’s found nowhere in the Constitution outside the overactive imagination of John Roberts (not that that one matters). The question is how will it go out. And what will take it’s place?

President-elect Trump dropped some hints as to his coming answers:

President-elect Donald Trump said in a weekend interview that he is nearing completion of a plan to replace President Obama’s signature health-care law with the goal of “insurance for everybody,” while also vowing to force drug companies to negotiate directly with the government on prices in Medicare and Medicaid.

Trump declined to reveal specifics in the telephone interview late Saturday with The Washington Post, but any proposals from the incoming president would almost certainly dominate the Republican effort to overhaul federal health policy as he prepares to work with his party’s congressional majorities.

Trump’s plan is likely to face questions from the right, after years of GOP opposition to further expansion of government involvement in the health-care system, and from those on the left, who see his ideas as disruptive to changes brought by the Affordable Care Act that have extended coverage to tens of millions of Americans.

In addition to his replacement plan for the ACA, also known as Obamacare, Trump said he will target pharmaceutical companies over drug prices.

“They’re politically protected, but not anymore,” he said of pharmaceutical companies.

One wonders how “insurance for everybody” will be paid for. Trump is likely to face a greater fight from his own party than from the opposition. The Democrats should technically be okay so long as continued coverage for the “poor” is promised (no-one cares about delivery, it’s the thought that counts in D.C.). And the GOP has murmured about changing the law but keeping those dreadful taxes – even as they contemplate mind-blowing debt increases in the near years to come.

obamacarebattlemgn

NBC News.

Another huge problem will be the insurance industry and the medical community. They will not go away quietly. And they will join forces with the big-pharma racket. Nothing about repealing or replacing this monster will be easy. But change has to come. Barring massive, massive subsidies, the program as is, is finished.

Fred Reed recently mused on the fact that the much-maligned, socialist single-payer system found in some other countries is preferable to what we have now. And he’s right. Single-payer would cost less overall and would likely deliver much better results. But, recall that delivery doesn’t matter in D.C. Due to the stigma, the potential loss of control and profits for the insurance cabal, etc., and the lingering collective remembrance of freedom, socialized medicine is not going to happen in America. No time soon, at least.

The Austrian, the anarchist, and the capitalist in me fully believes that a completely unregulated, free-market system is by far the best alternative. It’s one we used to have and is still found in a few small places around the world. It worked – too well for the government and their corporate handlers. It will never return.

So “free” medicine, the best solution, and socialized medicine, a distant second-best, are off the table. That leaves things in between them and what we have now. And what we have now is the worst possible in the developed world. It’s really little better than no care at all in many cases. In some cases, it’s actually worse.

What we’re probably going to end up with is a compromise. Something dead in the middle that will last a few years or decades and then need another massive overhaul. I wish Trump (and all of us) well but I remain optimistically pessimistic.

As is, I’ll try to stay healthy and avoid any contact with any medical system. That’s what I recommend for everybody.

Well. It’s more of an unpaid internship really. Style the title as you will; the unpaid part is certain. But I’m going to need someone in D.C. possibly as soon as next week.

Talk radio hosts and bloggers could be invited to official White House press briefings once the Trump administration takes office, under a highly irregular proposal being floated that may also remove briefings from the West Wing.

Trump’s pick for White House press secretary, Sean Spicer, said on Sunday that due to “off the chart” interest in the new administration, the president-elect was considering moving briefings from the James S Brady press briefing room, which has been used by presidents to address the media since 1970, to a venue with a greater capacity.

A report published by Esquire magazine on Saturday indicated the venue could be inside the Old Executive Office Building, just west of the White House.

“I know change is difficult sometimes,” Spicer told Fox News. “But sometimes change can actually be better.”

Spicer argued the proposal would mean “you can involve more people, be more transparent, have more accessibility”. He suggested that this would mean outlets that are not traditionally part of the White House press corps would be able to ask questions during presidential press briefings.

There’s a lot of talk radio and bloggers and people that can’t fit in right now and maybe don’t have a permanency because they’re not part of the Washington elite media,” Spicer said, “but to allow them an opportunity to ask the press secretary or the president a question is a positive thing. It’s more democratic.”

Could be calling on you. Justin lane / EPA.

Yes, more democratic. More bloggers. Carlos Slim has his blog’s reps there. Why can’t I have mine? More then, here, for you, from there.

I may have to make the first few trips myself. GoFundMe page for that coming soon…

If you’re serious about this unique employment opportunity, then I’m serious about the unpaid thing. Otherwise my H.R. protocols are much like Fox News – legs and all that. Apply in the comments section below. Only independently wealthy, free/anarchist-thinking, cigar-loving, gun-toting, hot, single women between the ages of 19 and 27 will be considered. Looks and attitude count more than degree or professional pedigree. I discriminate … but do not pay… No money…

At Least Someone at the Church is Taking Notice

≈ Comments Off on At Least Someone at the Church is Taking Notice

Western civilization predates Christianity, true. However, 1,700 years of influence made a considerable impression. Until the immediate post-modern era, Europe and Christendom were synonymous. That is rapidly changing. And one Italian Bishop is alarmed.

Everyone in Italy and the rest of Europe will “soon be Muslim” because of the country’s “stupidity”, a prominent Italian archbishop has said.

Monsignor Carlo Liberati, Archbishop Emeritus of Pompeii, said that Islam will soon become Europe’s main religion thanks to the huge number of Muslim migrants alongside the increasing secularism of native Europeans.

Speaking to Italian Catholic journal La Fede Quotidiana, the archbishop said: “In 10 years we will all be Muslims because of our stupidity. Italy and Europe live in a pagan and atheist way, they make laws that go against God and they have traditions that are proper of paganism.

“All of this moral and religious decadence favours Islam.”

“We have a weak Christian faith,” he added. “The Church nowadays does not work well and seminaries are empty.

“Parishes are the only thing still standing. We need a true Christian life. All this paves the way to Islam. In addition to this, they have children and we do not. We are in full decline.”

The archbishop added that the problem is not just Muslim immigration. The number of Eastern Europeans arriving over the past few years has also hit the quality of life for native Italians, he said.

“We help without delay those coming from outside and we forget many poor and old Italians who are eating from the trash,” the archbishop said. “We need policies that take care of Italians first: our young people and the unemployed.

“I am a protester. If I were not a priest, I’d be out there demonstrating in the squares. What is the point of so many migrants that instead of thanking for the food we give them, they just throw it, spend hours with their cell phones and even organise riots?”

He even criticised the Catholic Church for giving money to migrants.

“Giving money to migrants wandering around town is not only wrong, but morally harmful because we encourage their behaviour and they get used to that, not mentioning the fact that we already feed them.

“I think sometimes this creates a beggars’ network. I remember that my father went to work very hard as a migrant in Australia so I could go to seminary. So he has experienced in his own skin the discomfort of poverty and the noble virtue of gratitude.”

I think 10 years is a little too alarmist. It’s looking more like 30 – 50, by the demographics. Still, that is alarming enough. Especially considering that the recent invaders categorically denounce Christianity, western civilization, and everything that goes with them. Utter incompatibility.

eurabia

Albatrus.

That the Church – and I’ve mentioned this more than a few times – actively supports its own extermination is unconscionable. I’m glad someone in a position of authority sees it the same way. I also look for Monsignor Liberati (an appropriate name!) to be put out to pasture for his heretical outlook. He already sports the “Emeritus” title. Is full (forced) retirement too far away?

And things keep on changing. There is a huge and growing opposition to the Islamic and non-Western invasion. Politically, the phenomenon has run it’s course. I look for a reversal (or a war) in the coming decade. As Vox Day noted, 2017 will be the year when the natives begin to push back violently against their hateful attackers. It has already begun.

Of course, the real problem is with the Christians, not the Muslims. As Liberati notes, they have failed to live as they should and are now reaping the rewards. A century of idiotic, fratricidal war and socialism/secularism does that. Hopefully the 21st century will see a reversal, a revival, and a reconstitution of Christendom.

If not, we’re looking at another dark age. It won’t matter whether it’s a steeple or a minaret, the town will be in ruins. At least some are aware.

More Laws, Less Justice (Example 3,785,933,501)

Cicero was correct: the more laws, the less justice. The U.S. has total law, complete legislation of everything. Does that mean we have no justice at all? Martin Armstrong thinks so.

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in California has upheld the criminal conviction of Robert Kahre, the man who tried to circumvent the IRS by paying his employees in gold coin. He relied on the face value of the gold coins being below the legal threshold that triggers withholding taxes. A $20 gold coin is legal tender for only $20 — not its gold value. Gold was never demonetized. From a strict construction perspective, Kahre was correct and should not have been charged legally. However, the IRS interprets the value of the gold, not the legal tender value. The Court held that Kahre didn’t do his duty to serve as a tax collector for the United States, for which you, as an employer, are not paid. Kahre is currently serving a 15-year sentence.

You must understand that you are dancing with the devil. There is absolutely NO RULE OF LAW whatsoever and all your constitutional rights are fictional. Your liberty and human rights are in the hands of every petty government officer because they get to do whatever they desire and it has become your burden to go to court to PROVE you have any human rights. This is what happens in all republics. Whenever you have a political class, they always exert their power against the people. There is ABSOLUTELY NO HISTORICAL EXCEPTION!

A couple of things. First, Armstrong is half right: there is a rule of law: total rule under complete legislation of everything. Second, those rights are a fiction. Every once in a while a citizen wins but it is almost always a fluke. The Soviet show trials had a better acquittal ratio. Tried to redress a grievance lately?? Lastly, Kahre was stupid (brave but stupid) to try this. It’s the government’s game and they’ll change the rules when they want to. Simple as that.

This evening I did my initial and incomplete estimations for my 2016 tax returns. I’m not feeling charitable towards the cabal on the Potomac. Wouldn’t it be grand if weasels like Paul Ryan stopped crying for 11 illegal alien criminals for a second and considered a little relief for 200,000,000 oppressed citizen taxpayers?

I’ll stop now…

Deport Congress … Now

Republicans have long had a unique use and calling in politics – to cave in and go along to get along – no matter the subject. Now, they can add to their useless reputations the nuance of stabbing Americans in the back as hard as their feeble, bloated arms might allow.

Donald Trump got elected last year in part because Americans are sick of their borders being overrun by law-breakers. They want some semblance of the old country back. They want illegals removed. Candidate Trump said he got it. President-elect Trump may still get it. Paul Ryan, who would lose a popularity contest to D.C. sewer rats, will never get it.

Congressional Republicans are working with the Trump transition team on a solution for immigrants brought illegally to this country as kids, House Speaker Paul Ryan said Thursday.

Hundreds of thousands of these immigrants gained temporary protections and work permits from President Obama. While campaigning for president, Donald Trump promised to undo those protections, putting the immigrants at risk of deportation, although he said last month he hoped to “work something out” to help them.

Ryan didn’t detail what Congress and Mr. Trump would do about the program, called Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA. But when questioned on a CNN town hall by a woman who identified herself as a DACA recipient with a young daughter, Ryan told her he did not want to see her deported.

“I can see you love your daughter, you are a nice person who has a great future ahead of you, and I hope your future is here,” Ryan said.

“What we have to do is find a way to make sure that you can get right with the law, and we’ve got to do this in a good way so that the rug doesn’t get pulled out from under you and your family gets separated.”

Host Jake Tapper pointed out that Mr. Trump, during the campaign, promised a “deportation force” to round up the more than 11 million immigrants in the country illegally. Ryan dismissed that idea.

“I’m here to tell you in Congress, it’s not happening.”

Instead, Ryan said Mr. Trump has asked lawmakers to focus on two priorities with respect to illegal immigration: securing the border and deporting immigrants who are violent, repeat criminals.

House GOP lawmakers and aides have also said recently they’re working on how to pay for border security to make good on Mr. Trump’s promise of building a wall on the border with Mexico, although at least initially taxpayers would foot the bill – not Mexico, as Mr. Trump promised.

DACA has extended work permits and temporary deportation relief to more than 700,000 immigrants brought illegally to this country as youths since its creation in 2012. Mr. Trump has said it and other Obama executive actions are unconstitutional, since they involved going around Congress, a position Ryan repeated Thursday.

DACA permits need to be renewed every two years, so Mr. Trump could cancel out the program over time by ordering agencies to stop processing new applications and renewals. There is high anxiety in immigrant communities about what he will do.

“We have to figure out how to have a humane solution to this very legitimate, sincere problem and respect the rule of law,” Ryan said.

Why build a wall at this point? Why secure the borders? Why even have laws or a play-pretend facade of a nation? Based on the foregoing, the only reason I can come up with is to give jobs to the otherwise unemployable like Ryan.

This is the legacy of the package of total lies known as the Immigration Act of 1965. It’s in the spirit of the GOP/Reagan betrayals of 1986. The former was not going to change anything. The latter was a one-time, never-gonna-happen-again solution (a cave-in). Yet here we are in 2017 facing more lies and more caving. And back-stabbing.

I ask my Republican-voting friends, how can you support this gang of liars and thieves? Dear Democrat friends, please do not smirk; “your” team is right beside and behind the GOP traitors.

nimbus-image-1484352266681

Speaker Ryan startled (like a cockroach) when someone turned on the lights. Chip Somodevilla / Getty.

Fine. I offer a “humane solution to this very legitimate, sincere problem”: deport Congress. The Dreamers, the criminals, the terrorists, and the welfarians can stay. Just give us 535 deportations. Deport Congress. All of them. Now. January 20th will be fine. Where? Anywhere that isn’t the U.S. I suppose the open ocean or Antarctica might do. Space, possibly.

Trump could accomplish this with a single Executive Order and a battalion of Marines. And there is legal precedent for it: see the strange case of Clement L. Vallandigham (D-Ohio).

They just have to go. Pick any illegal alien and you’ve automatically found someone more American that any of our Congressional trash. It’s really time to take it out.

Make France Great Again: Le Pen Leads National Poll

Some learned, one evening last November, that polls aren’t all they’re cracked up to be. Then again, this is huge. Marine Le Pen is the only candidate in France who grasps the problems facing her nation and Western civilization.

Right-wing populist Marine Le Pen of the Front National is now leading opinion polls ahead of France’s presidential elections in the spring.

A new poll from Ifop-Fiducial released Tuesday shows Le Pen at first place with the backing of 26.5 percent of voters, while her moderate center-right rival Francois Fillon, of Les Republicains, would receive just over 24 percent of the vote, the poll suggested.

“He is putting in place measures I have been demanding for years,” Le Pen said of Trump.
The new poll, which was conducted the first week of January, was based on a sample of 1,860 registered voters and has a margin of error of 1.3 percent.

The poll represents the first time Le Pen has led with voters since November, and coincides with a noticeable decline in popularity for Fillon, who was polling at roughly 28 percent in December.

Interestingly, Fillon’s slide in the polls comes the same week he said he was opposed to France’s exiting the Schengen Treaty and ending its participation in free movement between E.U. member states.

Fillon, however, has apparently recognized the extent of his tactical error, and on Wednesday is expected to announce his support for immigration quotas during a rally in Nice — the site of a brutal Islamic terrorist attack in July 2016.

It’s too late for Fillon and the globalists. But it is not too late for France or Marine. She’s not ahead because of economic issues though they certainly don’t hurt her.

Let me set this prediction in digital stone: this is France’s next President:

fn-marine-lepen-m

France 24.

The invaders should commence packing now.

By the way, if you don’t support Marine, then you hate women (and civilization).

Petitions: Demanding The Absurd

There’s a saying: “If you’re taking flak, you know you’re over the target”. So Ivan Throne found he was successfully getting to the SJWs. He “boasted” of his inclusion on a list of Twitter accounts some band of losers wants someone to ban. That’s their M.O.: find something you don’t like and demand it (or he) be banned. Ignoring is not an option. Neither is minding one’s own business.

I congratulated Ivan on his successes. Then I looked around change.com at some other stupid petitions. Some must be worthy of something. Others look like this:

Petitioning President Obama to meddle in the Trump administration.

On January 20, the military officer carrying the codes for America’s nuclear arsenal will follow President Barack Obama to the inaugural platform. When he leaves, the officer will follow President Donald Trump.

We will then have a president who reportedly said, “If we have nuclear weapons, why can’t we use them.” Will he really order a nuclear attack in the next four years? No one knows. But if he does, no one can stop him.

President Trump will be able to launch, within minutes, one or one thousand nuclear warheads without any vote, any check, or even any serious deliberation. Just one missile could kill millions. Once launched, the missiles could not be recalled.

But President Obama has one last chance to reduce this danger. With the stroke of a pen, he can take US nuclear missiles off hair-trigger alert, so that any attempt to use these weapons would take hours or days.

Taking nuclear weapons off high alert would not impede our country’s ability to defend itself. We could still respond to an attack. But it would buy time for the president to consult with Congress and other leaders and for cooler heads to prevail. We should not rush into a decision to start nuclear war.

As Obama said in 2008: “Keeping nuclear weapons ready to launch on a moment’s notice is a dangerous relic of the Cold War. Such policies increase the risk of catastrophic accidents or miscalculation. I believe that we must address this dangerous situation.”

Now, President Trump could launch 140 warheads in the time it takes to write 140 characters. The grave difference is: a tweet can be deleted, but the devastation of a nuclear warhead can never be undone.

Sign this petition to call on President Obama to use his authority to take nuclear missiles off hair-trigger alert status.

Then, share this petition with your friends, family, and co-workers. Together, we can make sure these weapons are never used again. http://www.ploughshares.org

As usual, the SJWs are lying. At the inauguration platform, Trump will already technically be President, the “football” following him. More importantly, those missiles can be disarmed or destroyed in flight. Most important, they’re appealing to the wrong man.

340x_497px-trident_ii_missile_image

Gizmodo.

Obama has spent the past eight years continuing and expanding the Bush wars. And he’s go right along with the neocon globalist drive for war with Russia. It’s Trump who has offered the olive branch to Putin.

The petition has 75,000 of the sought 100,000 signatures. I hope these folks are well meaning. And I hope they’re not disappointed when it fails. Then again I hope they’re happy when it proves to have been in vain. That, I hope, is the ultimate case. No-one wants a war, especially a nuclear one.

Then again, no-one should want a departing administration meddling with the incoming one.
