The Evaporation of the Obama Mystique

Original Article

Posted By: Hazymac, 12/12/2024 12:22:02 PM

Barack Obama had long been rumored as the catalyst for the 2020 Biden nomination—and thereafter played the whispering puppeteer behind the subsequent lost Biden administration years. As such he and his coterie proved the virtual architects of the Biden administration, one of the most unpopular and failed presidencies in American history. Recall earlier that after a flailing candidate Joe Biden lost the first three 2020 primaries and caucuses, his inert campaign was headed nowhere. Barack Obama and fellow Democratic insiders abruptly engineered the withdrawal of his rival 2020 presidential candidates: hard left but likely sure-loser candidates, including Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, and Pete Buttigieg. The Obamas ignored or withheld from the public

You can call this a failed Presidency. From Barack the Destroyer's perspective (to tear this country and all that made it good down) it has been a rousing success.

Obama has handlers of his own and I assume they are none too happy with him right about now. How much did they pay him because of promises he made to them that he wasn't able to keep? It's a good bet that these handlers are part of an unsavory cabal and now he's accountable to them. I think that justice will find 0; the question is if the justice comes via our legal system or from those to whom he's sold his soul.

I never saw any "mystique" only a community organizer who was a racist and money grubber, and who had no history, all fabricated and fake. The more we learned about him, the more I was certain that he was a fraud and a liar, and Marxist trying to destroy the country. No mystique, just fraud.

Where are the multimillion dollar funds coming from to maintain his four mansions in four very different parts of the country? Employees, household expenses, landscaping, security, etc? Private planes, ground transportation? Daughters' expenses? Chicago Pres. 'Liebary'? Like the Bidens & Clintons, now that their usefulness has evaporated who can they turn to continue to fund their worthless lavish lifestyles? They don't seem like the 'downsizing' types.

Another reason the GOP and RNC need to maintain constant pressure and hold all accountable for the actions of the past 10 years, in particular. Make sure it's known and exposed for one and all to see. Clear the air on all of the bogus investigations against President Trump and other Republicans associated with him which Sen. Fetterman knows were all political. It's why the Clown News Network is in such dismal condition now - the people know they were lied to and gaslighted for years. Same with the More Schiff N bull crap watching their ratings go down in the toilet too - same group was lied to and gaslighted for years.

Obama Madness is more like it. He tried to impose Communism, Universal Healthcare for deadbeats, Gun Control, Affirmative Action and Wealth Redistribution while desecrating both the American Flag and the rainbow. All of that while preaching how evil the white folks were. My most enjoyable moment in the entire eight years was when they brought the Affordable Healthcare website up and it crashed like a dying buzzard.

Obama pulled Joe's strings, but there is a cabal pulling Obama's strings. He's not even that "smooth" of a talker -- the press propped him up at every turn and made him sound and look much better than he was/is. I'm convinced Bill Ayers and his fellow travelers are the ones who pulled his strings for YEARS and may still be, but I also think Valerie Jarrett is a big player in this as well, which makes sense because she has direct connections to Iran, which explains why Obama was always willing to side with Iran/Russia/Syria.

Dimocrat loyalists would argue why would a president do these things to the country he lives in. The answer is he is a muslim who above all consider the US and Israel the spawn of the devil. Obama never has to worry about all of these attacks on our country because with his wealth he can stay beyond the hardships that the peasants face. The dimocrat loyalists still believe obama deserves a place on Mt Rushmore.

When life gives you Lemons... well, there's no making lemonade out of this particular situation. Former news anchor turned TikTok wannabe Don Lemon, once a member of the CNN cult before it became clear he was too unhinged even for their tastes, went on a rant about the supposed MAGA "cult." It's unclear from the clip what prompted Lemon's meltdown, but it appears to have something to do with the recent dustup involving Elon Musk, Vivek Ramaswamy, and immigration hardliners who had a spirited debate on X regarding the H-1B visa program.

Transsexuals are still transvestites 7 replies

Transvestite: noun Someone who adopts the dress or manner or sexual role of the opposite sex. Transvestism: The practice of dressing in a manner traditionally associated with the opposite sex. When did transvestites become transexuals? And why? During the fifties here in America, transvestites (remember Christine Jorgensen?) were the stuff of snide jokes. They were laughed at as misfit men trying to be women. Later, there was Bruce Jenner, who also was a transvestite and who later named himself Caitlin Jenner and demanded everyone else call him by that name. Jenner is still a cross-dressing man in women’s clothing. How did Americans get so afraid of calling them transvestites?

I don’t know if you’re old enough to remember the musical Brigadoon. It was about a Scottish village that disappears in the mists and only reappears once every hundred years. The District of Columbia and its federal components often remind me of that. On a local level (perhaps a tradition from pre-air conditioning days) the place is somnolent for all practical purposes in the summer and even through much of the spring. Then, just before Thanksgiving, the courts suddenly schedule hearings on cases that have been moldering for months in the clerks’ offices and Congress starts to hustle to get a continuing resolution --

“Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. And, weak men create hard times.” Since that quote was first published in 2017 by G. Michael Hopf in Those Who Remain, it has become one of the most oft-quoted phrases in the conservative universe. (I’ve quoted it a number of times.) That’s because it perfectly captures the current state of Western civilization. I’ve experienced a good bit of that Western civilization.

A recent article in the Wall Street Journal by a Jess Bravin reported that attorneys general of many blue states are not going to give up quietly when Donald Trump, as president, begins to honor his election promises, such as the mass deportation of illegals. “A host of blue states are staffing up and building out legal battle plans for Trump’s return trip to the White House.” When Donald Trump will be sending ICE agents to blue sanctuary states to solicit help from local sheriffs and other police forces, the only response he may get is “civil and criminal litigation” from entities such as Maryland’s Federal Litigation Unit.

But then you have this: Olympic gymnast Simone Biles was second with 25 and boxer Imane Khelif was third, getting four votes. What is odd about this is that Imane Khelif isn’t a woman. He is a man who boxed in the women’s division in the Paris Olympics. This came after he was repeatedly disqualified from women’s events because he has male genitalia and XY chromosomes. The Olympics let him compete as a woman, apparently because he says he is a woman, despite all the evidence to the contrary.

Democrats are boasting that Jimmy Carter's death could overshadow Donald Trump's upcoming inauguration due to a long upheld tradition. Standard protocol states that all flags should be flown at half mast at federal buildings for 30 days following the death of a former president. Carter, the 39th U.S. President, died at 100 years old on Sunday afternoon, almost two years after entering hospice care and just 22 days before Trump's inauguration on January 20. Outspoken MAGA critics and Democrat voters have quipped that the half mast flags during such a pivotal moment are Carter's parting gift to Trump after their longstanding feud.
