A Non-Pretending Discussion About Barack Obama

Writing in Tablet Mag, David Samuels outlines his discussion with very well-respected historian David Garrow about Barack Obama and Dr. Martin Luther King, but mostly about Obama. It is an intensely interesting albeit very long read, much of it drawn from a transcript of the conversation initiated by Samuels about the research Garrow did for his 2017 book on Obama called “Rising Star.” The type of intense, deeply cited and granular research(snip) historians 50-years from now will be citing as they outline the legacy of President Obama. (snip) non-pretending analysis you will never see approved for conversation by those who currently maintain the false pretense of the subject.

A weekend read. If this doesn’t convince that we are living in Obama’s third term, nothing will. Obama’s Kalorama house his central command (is Valjar still installed there?) and the WH full of former top Obama staffers. Should be a Must Read fpr all LDotters.

comrade obama couldn't have picked a more appropriate mannequin to take his place, even though there was a 4 year interruption in his quest for a 3rd term because he knew diapers was the perfect dupe to take over the reins for him plus he also knew diapers would shoot himself in the foot before his term in office was reached, which he has but the pieces of the puzzle are still being put in place by the repub congress - comrade obama is behind all of this for two reasons: 1.) diapers doesn't have what it takes to be President and 2.) comrade obama wants a 3rd term in office so bad he'll throw whoever he can, under the bus, to make it happen and he knew diapers was the perfect candidate to pave his way for him diapers will not make the cutoff date of his term and comrade obama already has his replacement picked out: him - still think diapers will be impeached and quit and mattressback will take over and appoint comrade obama as VP and then she'll quit, opening the doors for comrade obama to take over the Oval again and then run against our President.

The type of intense, deeply cited and granular research historians 50-years from now will be citing as they outline the legacy of President Obama. Look around, his legacy is the communist socialist backed disaster we are currently experiencing. When he was first elect, I thanked my older for helping to elect the first communist President. I had tried for months to convince him that Obama would be a disaster, to no avail.

Was it Newsweek or time that hailed him the first gay president? It seems to me that all of the gays I knew supported him as a kind of gay Moses. There seemed to be inside knowledge that only certain people were privy to. Parallel worlds I guess. So here's another dimension beyond our grasp. I have no doubt 0 still has a lot of pull, but 0 and biden have their differences. 0' s visit to the big house to celebrate Obamacare showed that 0 he had little regard for Joe. I suspect that friction characterizes the attitude of the help as well. I don't see how shared purpose in their common mission could ever overcome their narcissistic striving. There's another thing: Psaki's and Blinken's WestExec staffed the Biden regime. Blinkeen's still there and Psaki traded up to one of the networks where she enthusiastically runs interference for Biden. She's still a team player. My question is: how are Team Obama and West Execs getting along? They talk about honor among theives, but I imagine there is jealousy, suspicion and competition too.

Bill Barr enjoys talking about the weaponized DOJ as if the DOJ was not weaponized. Bill Barr is a very dangerous figure in the government weaponization process, and he had a lot of people fooled for a long time. Fortunately, he didn’t fool me and many of you remember exactly why. Additionally, during my 2020 trip to DC, it was specific suspicions about Bill Barr that necessitated going directly into the system.

Hunter Biden’s business partner at Burisma, Devon Archer, testified about the nature of the business construct and the flow of payments to the Biden family. The House Oversight Committee has released the 141-page transcript [READ HERE]. Within the transcript, when Democrat representative and lawyer Daniel Goldman questioned Mr. Archer about the exact value of having the Biden family as part of the Burisma Holdings organization, Archer informed Goldman the intent of the partnership was for the Biden family to keep the legal inquiry about the business operation under control.

Prior to departing the airport in Washington DC, President Trump paused to deliver brief remarks to the assembled media following his persecution on behalf of a corrupt regime. WATCH: (video)Always reserved to honor. Always deliberate in brutal honesty. Always professional, even in pragmatic approach! Inasmuch as it is infuriating to see our great constitutional republic being shredded by the leftists, Marxists and overt communists that have infiltrated the institutions of political power, I must say there is just something incredibly inspiring about how one man, Donald John Trump, is willing to face down this entire system on our behalf. I do not meter these words lightly.

Joe Biden famously bragged that while vice president, he forced the firing of Ukraine’s prosecutor general, Viktor Shokin, by threatening to withhold $1 billion in U.S. government aid from the financially strapped European country. Biden’s boast, however, now threatens his presidency because overwhelming evidence indicates the Ukrainian energy company, Burisma, paid Hunter Biden millions to have his father deal with Shokin. In response to this most serious of scandals, Biden and his Democrat and media backers are pushing the most ridiculous of narratives: Biden didn’t want Shokin fired for investigating Burisma, but for not investigating Burisma. Then-Vice President Biden was only executing American policy

Special Counsel Jack Smith’s latest indictment against President Trump seeks to criminalize political speech and taking incorrect legal advice. Americans of all political stripes should be furious and deeply concerned by the course Smith has set this country on. I have reviewed the new Trump indictment closely, and sadly, it is exactly what we have come to expect from Smith’s team — a highly political document, riddled with legal and factual infirmities. This indictment should have never been brought to a grand jury in the first place. Moreover, its timing, particularly in light of Smith’s statements and actions in the Trump documents case, is so highly suspect that it casts

Financier George Soros is almost single-handedly bankrolling a mysterious Texas entity working to build up progressive infrastructure across the Lone Star State in attempts to elect more Democrats, records reviewed by Fox News Digital show. According to Federal Election Commission filings released Monday, George Soros's Democracy PAC II has provided $750,000 to the Texas Majority PAC during the year's first half. Meanwhile, the Texas Majority PAC's state filings show that the group raised $752,040 during that time, meaning Soros has financially propelled the group. Texas Majority PAC has maneuvered in the shadows, and virtually no information about the group is available online.

At least 70% of Republican voters still believe Joe Biden’s win was illegitimate, according to a recent poll this week by far-left CNN.

More than two dozen House Democrats put forward legislation Friday that would slap "assault weapons" and high-capacity magazines with a 1,000% excise tax, a change that would raise the price of a $500 weapon to $5,000 in a bid to reduce access to guns across the country.

NBC is reporting — with a supposed sense of shock — the results of a Monmouth poll that nearly one-third of Americans think the 2020 presidential election was rigged. And they further reiterate that there is no evidence for fraud. There's no evidence widespread fraud affected the outcome of the 2020 election, but Trump and allies have spent years undercutting the election's legitimacy. Wow! It must be so. The main stream media assure us that the election was honest. Yet one third of Americans still believe the election was a fraud. I am shocked, shocked. Anyone who questions the election result is called a fascist or subjected to a lawsuit or prosecution.
