OBAMA’S ‘PERSONAL’ ANTI-AMERICAN HIT PARADE CONTINUES!

By Jonathan E.P. Moore, and Friends of America!
OBAMA’S ‘PERSONAL’ ANTI-AMERICAN HIT PARADE CONTINUES!
Obama’s dealing the cards for America’s future 'RIGHT NOW' by pulling out all the stops in his last-minute bid to go down in history as relevant, but after the last 8 years of feckless leadership both here and abroad appears to have run out of time, and will go down in History as the worst President in American history! Obama has, from the very first day has done everything he possibly could to undermine America’s exceptionalism, and sure, Obama says he loves America —but just not the America we live in! ~~
"Never before in American history has its president gone before so many foreign audiences to apologize for so many American misdeeds, both real and imagined," Romney writes. "It is his way
of signaling to foreign countries and foreign leaders that their dislike for America is something he understands and that is, at least in part, understandable. There are anti-American fires burning all across the globe; President Obama's words are like kindling to them."
MITT REMEMBERS OBAMA'S FIRST ROAD TOUR, DO YOU?     Obama might give compliments to America here and there, Romney adds. "But what makes his speeches jump out at his audience are the steady stream of criticisms, put-downs, and jabs directed at the nation he was elected to represent and defend.
 "In his first nine months in office, President Obama has issued apologies and criticisms of America in speeches in France, England, Turkey, and Cairo; at the CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia, the National Archives in Washington, D.C., and the United Nations in New York City. He has apologized for what he deems to be American arrogance, dismissiveness, and derision; for dictating solutions, for acting unilaterally, and for acting without regard for others; for treating other countries as mere proxies, for unjustly interfering in the internal affairs of other nations, and for feeding anti-Muslim sentiments; for committing torture, for dragging our feet on global warming and for selectively promoting democracy."
I know, I know…. not again, but you have to admit that if both parents of Barack Obama were citizens of the United States of America he would be eligible to become President due to his ‘Natural Born’ status, but now you can see why this is more than an important requirement set forth by our founding fathers to be President!
What President would go out and apologize for America’s past and present History? What parent would bring up a child with
such disdain for their supposed homeland, and what Congress would look the other way and allow this unqualified candidate to be seated to the most important position not just in America, but the world! ~~
For America, its been 8 years of basic survival tactics and being exposed to Obama’s view and agenda of his Socialist transformation of America!  How did this happen, and which elected officials had a hand in the ‘sting?’ First of all it takes two to tango, so both parties had to be involved! so, they have to be identified and exposed, and then drained with the rest of the 'Swamp' ……!
I also think, especially after Obama threw a ‘wrench’ into the supposed smooth transition of power, that Trump should let his DOJ blood hounds, led by Sen. Jeff Sessions with maybe a little help from Trey Gowdy, loose to launch an investigation into the Obama administration unconstitutional actions, and then follow up on the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s list of outrageous acts and actions that violated the letter of the law! I would then look into the laws that both parties self-impose upon themselves in order to be the only two viable parties recognized and protected by the ‘Paid to Report’ Media!
We have just 22 days left before Trump takes office and sworn in as the 45th President of the United States of America, but what we should be afraid of is how many more wrench’s will vengeful Obama throw into the transition, and on top of what he has done already to screw up the next administration, and the future generations of America?
HERE ARE SOME NEW REASONS WHY WE SHOULD BE SO HAPPY AND PROUD TO ESCORT THIS ‘PERSON’ OFF CAPITOL HILL?  
OBAMA ISSUES NEW SANCTIONS AGAINST RUSSIA!
President Barack Obama issued new sanctions against Russia on Thursday, calling Russia's "malicious cyber-enabled activities" a "national emergency" aimed at undermining democratic processes.
He also ordered that 35 Russian diplomats from the Russian Embassy in Washington and the
Russian Consulate in San Francisco be ejected from the United States, and closed Russian compounds in New York and Maryland in response to what he said was Russian harassment of American diplomats in Moscow.
The diplomats will be given 72 hours to leave the US, according to Reuters.
OBAMA DHS SCRUBS RECORDS OF HUNDREDS OF MUSLIM TERRORISTS!
Not only did the Obama administration scrub counter-terror programs of jihad and Islam, now we find out that his administration scrubbed the records of Muslim terrorists. If the enemedia were not aligned with the jihad force, this would be front-page news across the nation.
An agent of the Department of Homeland Security, or DHS, for 15 years, Philip Haney, reported Friday that after the Christmas Day underwear bomber, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, tried to blow up a crowded passenger jet over Detroit, “President Obama threw the intelligence community under the bus for its failure to ‘connect the dots.’ He said, ‘This was not a failure to collect intelligence; it was a failure to integrate and understand the intelligence that we already had.'”
Haney revealed: “Most Americans were unaware of the enormous damage to morale at the
Department of Homeland Security, where I worked, his condemnation caused. His words infuriated many of us because we knew his administration had been engaged in a bureaucratic effort to destroy the raw material – the actual intelligence we had collected for years, and erase those dots. The dots constitute the intelligence needed to keep Americans safe, and the Obama administration was ordering they be wiped away.”
OBAMA BLOCKS NEW OIL, GAS DRILLING IN ARCTIC OCEAN!
The Obama administration is blocking new oil and gas drilling in the Arctic Ocean, handing a victory to environmentalists who say industrial activity in the icy waters will harm whales, walruses and other wildlife and exacerbate global warming.
A five-year offshore drilling plan announced on Friday blocks planned sale of new oil and gas drilling rights in the Chukchi and Beaufort seas north of Alaska. The plan allows drilling to go forward in Alaska's Cook Inlet southwest of Anchorage.
The blueprint for drilling from 2017 to 2022 can be rewritten by President-elect Donald Trump, in a process that could take months or years.
OBAMA TELLS ISRAEL TO DROP DEAD!
President Obama has told Israel to drop dead by instructing his U.N. ambassador not to veto a
resolution condemning Israel for building so-called settlements on disputed land, the president

has aided and comforted that nation's enemies. The U.S. abstention will inevitably invite stepped-up attacks against Israelis, as well as calls for more boycotts by the European Union, whose ugly anti-Semitic past and present is well documented.
OBAMA: I THINK I’M GOING MAKE 1.6 MILLION ACRES OF LAND NATIONAL MONUMENTS TO STOP OIL AND GAS EXPLORATION!
Before he leaves, President Obama has designated almost 1.6 million acres of land in Nevada and Utah as national monuments to protect Native American burial grounds and sacred sites. This is seen as another swipe against the incoming Trump administration since the 1.35 million acres in Utah will effectively end new oil and gas exploration leases (via The Hill):
The areas newly protected from development and various activities are the Bears Ears National Monument in Utah and the Gold Butte National Monument in Nevada. Both areas are owned by the federal Bureau of Land Management.
The actions further cement the aggressive conservation legacy of Obama, who has protected more land and water than any other president under the Antiquities Act.

[…]
The 1.35 million-acre Bears Ears area could be the most controversial of Obama's dozens of national monuments, in part because it shuts down any new leases for mining or oil and natural gas, exploration, along with other development and potential harms.
[…]
But Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) slammed Obama’s decision.
“This arrogant act by a lame duck president will not stand,” Lee tweeted Wednesday.
“I will work tirelessly with Congress & incoming Trump administration to honor the will of Utahans and undo this monument designation,” he added.
Obama also issued a permanent ban on offshore drilling, though Republicans vowed to reverse that decision as well. Utah's attorney general said he will file a lawsuit against the monument designation. By  Matt Vespa, a Friend of America!
TO BE CONTINUED, I'M SURE!  YOU CAN BET ON IT!!
NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS FOR MY PROGRESSIVE FRIENDS!
The year 2016 was a great one for our progressive friends – except for that whole utter repudiation unpleasantness of last November. Now, as a concerned conservative friend eager to help, let me offer you some New Year's resolutions that will keep you on the path to success. The bottom line: stay the course!
Keep Reaffirming the Racism/Sexism/Homophobia and Other Moral Failings of Everyone Who Doesn't Obey the Rigid Yet Constantly Mutating Laws of Political Correctness: It's vital that you continue, at every turn, to label normal Americans "racists," “sexists” and all the other “-ists” and “-phobes” in your Big Book O’ Liberal Slurs. Remember, concerns about crime are secret dog whistles to the tens of millions of wannabe KKK members lurking out there. Americans actually love being robbed! You know why we pretend we don't like dismembering babies and selling their
parts? Because we hate strong women. You caught us! And having people smash airplanes into buildings and open fire at random citizens are just a few of our favorite things. We only blame these acts on the radical Muslims who are actually doing them because of our unreasoning hatred of Muslims. There's no fooling you! If we weren’t such Islamophobes, we’d focus on the bloody death toll from those radical Baptists. So, keep it up, and never, ever, pass up an opportunity to tell normal Americans how they fail to meet your exacting standards. With enough abuse, those Trump voters you lost last time will definitely come around and start supporting Democrats again!Slam Israel: Who needs Jewish voters in your coalition anymore? You’ve got urban hipsters and illegal aliens, frigid divorcees and welfare cheats, plus a declining number of blacks and more urban hipsters, so those embarrassing friends of the Zionist Entity are totally expendable. Let them go join the GOP, with its unflinching support for evil Israel against the uncorrupt democracies surrounding it. When your delegates booed Israel (and God) at your convention, it was a great way to start this super-helpful conversation. Keep it up. Remember, every time you stab Israel in the back, several CAIR members will escort their wives out to go vote for Democrats.
Leverage Hollywood Star Power: As you know, all normal Americans believe Hollywood stars are powerful role models who we should emulate in our personal and political
lives. Want to energize new voters? Well, those tatt-ridden, gangsta rap stars supporting Hillary sure made me want to bust a move – right into the voting booth to elect some Dems! And don’t forget to have Lena Dunham go out there to lecture us about her personal insights on politics and childcare. She’s America’s preeminent feminist icon – I know that pic of her lolling on a beach dressed as a manatee made me reconsider my standards of female beauty. After that, I’ll never again deploy my male gaze!
Jesusplain More: Christians definitely appreciate it when they get instructed on the tenets of their faith by someone whose most recent religious observance was driving past a Church's Fried Chicken. We believers somehow missed how the RNC was calling Trump “Jesus,” but it didn’t get by you theologians! Good catch! Clearly, people you hold in contempt for being dedicated to Christ are going to commit blasphemy by labeling Trump “Jesus” because…reasons. Way to untangle that cunning plot to do…something. Anyway, thanks to you, I now also know that Jesus was a free n' easy hippie whose teachings just happen
to correspond exactly to the tenets of the Democratic Party – except for some of that awkward stuff that requires actual belief in Jesus. Under your tutelage, I finally get that thou shall not demand that deadbeats worketh, nor shalt thy resisteth 7th Century savages. Also, apparently, He demandeth that grown men dressed like women shall exposeth themselves aroundeth our young daughters. Who knew? You guys should keep this up. You're building a lasting impression among religious Americans – you know, the key segment of the American population that isn’t barren.
Remember, You Know Best for Us. You should do as much as you can to compel us to comply with your enlightened views. Force innocent bakers to bake cakes just because you can. People love that – especially when you simultaneously discover the moral necessity of allowing employees on a chorus line to opt out of entertaining those you deem unacceptable. Also, try to disarm us even as crime rates have entered a dizzying climb thanks to your cavorting with quasi-terrorist mobs and trashing the police – remember, it’s not the fear of being raped or murdered that inspired us to exercise that musty old Second Amendment, it’s racism! Oh, and perhaps concern about the future should you retake power. Just ensure that you keep reacting to any criticism with scathing personal attacks upon those who defy you. Normal Americans love that.
Heat-Up the Climate Change Frenzy: It must be frustrating when stupid #Science-hating normals refuse to accept that global warming is a crisis requiring we immediately give you liberals more power and money. This isn’t the first time these dummies have refused to
listen to the settled #Science – they didn’t listen in the 70s when you demanded more money and power to stop the imminent ice age, or in the 80s when you demanded more money and power to stop the ozone hole apocalypse, or in the 90s when you demanded more money and power to stop the acid rain Armageddon. Keep it up! Who knows, maybe it will actually get hotter and you’ll have some evidence – it totally could happen this time!
Don't Hide Your Feelings On Social Media. Social media allows you the opportunity to freely express what you really think to a vast audience – use it! Once, you could only say what you really think in little groups at Manhattan cocktail parties or cafés in Los Angeles, or publish it in obscure magazines no normals ever read. Well, now you can tweet your innermost thoughts and have those views go viral! It used to be a secret that you thought we are idiots for having religious
beliefs, but not anymore! Your desire to confiscate guns had to be hidden with weasel words in public, but now you are no longer restrained. In fact, you can loudly and publicly wish us harm – we love being told you can’t wait for us to die off so you can take total control of the country (except, being breeders, we have kids, but that’s another story). This open exchange of ideas is wonderful, and we urge you to continue it.
Keep Nominating Ancient Leftists Whose Massive Criminal Endeavors Appall All Decent Folk. Let me say it – Hillary Clinton was a terrific candidate for the Democrats, at least from my perspective as a Republican. Honest, warm, self-less, able to connect with regular people – these qualities are totally overrated in a nominee.
Okay, she had some baggage, but the problem with Hillary wasn’t her corruption – it was that the darn FBI and those darn Russians kept telling people about her corruption. Work harder with the mainstream media to ensure that we are no longer exposed to the kind of “fake news” that reveals what your candidates are actually doing. Most journalists will be eager to help!
Be the Sorest of Sore Losers: Or should I say, sore winners, since Hillary obviously crushed Trump in the popular vote election we didn’t have. Keep being angry! Talk nonstop about how Trump is illegitimate – we’ve already totally forgotten that whole thing about how not promising to recognize the validity of the election results is un-American. And oppose everything Trump does – everything! After all, people don’t want change. The last eight years have been terrific for everyone who matters – just ask Obama!
Look, you hit a few unexpected bumps in the road in 2016 – I mean, who could have foreseen that nominating someone under FBI investigation might turn out badly? But there’s nothing wrong with what you’re doing – the problem isn’t you. It’s

everyone else, especially those stupid, racist, gun nut Jesus people who aren’t bright enough to understand that you are entitled to rule over them. So don’t ever change. Stay the course. Oh gosh, please, please, please, by all means, stay the course. By Kurt Schlichter, a Friend of America!

OBAMA AND KERRY’S MIDDLE EAST PEACE ‘PLAN’ IS SIMPLY AND ACT OF MORAL COWARDICE!!

By Jonathan E.P. Moore, and Friends of America!
OBAMA AND KERRY’S MIDDLE EAST PEACE ‘PLAN’ IS SIMPLY AND ACT OF MORAL COWARDICE!!
The only purpose the United Nations serves is to give meaningless rhetoric an outlet for second and third tier international want-to- be dreamers of power a forum to stroke their alter egos, and Obama is no exception, and without a doubt, the cream of the crop! The United Nations had its place in time, but that time has come to an end, and so should the $8+ Billion dollars it cost the American taxpayer every year!
Obama has had nothing to say to members of the Congress, but choses instead to hide behind those closed doors spinning his web of deception and divisiveness to change the face of America! I have to believe that his constituents, except for the ones closest to him, had no clue that his

definition of change had nothing to do with what they and the American people perceived it to be, but after winning a second term victory got a real sobering shot of the clandestine Socialist agenda's truth!
Obama didn’t take the time to sit down with the opposition on Capitol Hill for meaningful collaboration and bipartisan resolution to the problems facing America, but chose to lead by ‘Pen and Phone,’ interpretation and intent, and undermining the ‘Will’ of the American people! Obama orchestrated the unrest in the Middle East, help launch ISIS through the help of Hillary and her

gun running failures that armed the eventually created the biggest threat to any chance of peace in that region , and scripted the plot to give Congress that ‘Do nothing Congress’ makeover that was initiated by Harry Reid and his optional decision to table, and not present some 360+ passed house bills to the Senate to be passed and given to President Obama to sign and make law.
Obama’s battle cry from the beginning has been ‘My way, or the High way,’ and he’s proved that by quickly establishing in his first term, through Executive Order, ‘Peace Time’ Martial law, firing
or forcing into retirement close to 300 military personnel  with 187 being high ranking officers and generals because they couldn’t be trusted to carry out Obama’s unconstitutional and anti-American agenda and policies around the world, and then opening our borders so that 13+ million unvetted illegal immigrants and refugees could be supported by the taxpayer to the tune of $1 Trillion Dollars a year, and then encouraged to vote with no criminal consequences for their illegal actions!
Cry baby Obama can’t understand why his dream won’t be realized and because of that doing everything he can to disrupt the path that the ‘Will’ of the American people have decided to take.

Just in the last week or so Obama has destroyed the list of possible terrorists and their connections in America, and coincidentally just before terrorists published an America’s church hit list! Obama banned off shore drilling, then betrayed our number one ally in the Middle East, and now discussing the unproven allegations that Russia hacked the election that gave Trump the victory, and possibly, because of those unsubstantiated accusations, considering sanctions!
Obama, from the beginning, has become a psychopathic recluse
who sits in the dark conspiring against our founding father’s success here at home and around the world, and has only one place to go to release those inner anti-American daemons, and that’s to the one place where they all have one thing in common, acceptance and inclusion, just like AA, and that’s the world famous United Nations! 
THE UNITED NATIONS: OBAMA’S BULLY PULPIT!
With just over 3 weeks to go Obama has his anti-American revenge pedal to the metal to finish what a Hillary loss in the election couldn’t finish, and that’s destroy America from within through his and hers mentor Saul Alinsky, and then his underling professors at Columbia University Cloward and Piven, who filled in the missing blanks that Obama needed to know to complete his mission of the ideological transformation of America.
John Kerry's final Middle East policy speech "pathetic", further heightening tensions between the two allies as President Barack Obama prepares to leave office.
Kerry tried to legitimize America’s United Nations abstention vote through doubling down and hiding again, like Obama has done many time before, behind ‘Who’ and ‘What’ America’s principles and policies are and always have been…WHAT??
WHAT PRINCIPLES, VALUES, AND POLICIES IS KERRY TRYING TO HIDE BEHIND? AND WHAT MAKES HIM THINK THEY’RE THE SAME PRINCIPLES, VALUES, AND POLICIES THAT HE BELIEVES ARE IN 
LINE WITH THE PRE-OBAMA ‘WILL’ OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE??
Where do I begin, and how much time do I have?
America opens its borders to unvetted illegal immigrants and refugees who won’t assimilate or follow our laws and looking to eliminate the religious beliefs that 77% of American believe in, but don’t worry, because that’s who we are!
America wants to give Iran a path to nuclear weapons because we would rather give than take, because that's who we are!
America wants Hillary to lose $6 Billion dollars while secretary of State, and then accidently hand over $400 million in advanced weaponry to ISIS because we’re just that f*cking generous.
America wants all Americans who are on welfare and federally funded entitlements to get a little taste of what free stuff tastes like, and what Socialist values of spending other people’s money while pulling the rug out from under America’s economy and sneaking illegal cheaper labor under the radar while dangling a $15 minimum wage carrot in front of their noses, feels like!
America wants to tax America’s home grown ingenuity, industrial inventiveness, and our technical prowess, by charging our businesses and companies the highest corporate tax rate in the world! I don’t know about you, but I think I would be wondering why, and what does this achieve, right? Well it’s basically out sourcing and redistributing America’s exceptionalism and wealth around the
world, and at a huge cost to America’s future generations to come! Obama’s plan was to regulate and tax the shit out of our industrial superiority, and then due to his globalist agenda and policies, redistribute America’s wealth and America’s exceptionalism around the world, while at the same time sneaking third world cheaper labor in the back door to dilute and infiltrate our workforce to make the American workforce succumb to the pressures of working for less, and lowering the American standard bar far enough to meet the not so fortunate standards around the world, who are now, because of American’s sacrifice, on the way up to meet on an equal playing field!.......GLOBALISM!!!....tah dah!! Drum roll please!
America wants to undermine our men in blue and allow outside agitators, like George Soros, to come in and disrupt our election process!
Americans want our President to bypass our constitution, our congress, and play the race card every chance he gets to undermine our men in blue, Martin Luther king’s Memory and accomplishments, and shrink our military down to the size of WWI's status and strength.
Americans want every symbol for our Christian beliefs to be torn down and trashed while defending and protecting other nations laws and anti-rights for women!
You can fill in the many blanks I left for you, but what we need to take away from all of this is that Obama, Hillary, and all of the
chump change that takes their 'lead,' have no clue what America stands for!
America is a nation of laws, and if you don’t like the laws, then change them through the process that our founding fathers set up through our constitution and Constitutional Republic’s guidelines, or leave!
Americans believe live and let live, but within the parameters of our ‘Bill of Rights,’ our religious background and base, and the same individual rights that are granted to every citizen of the United States of America!
Obama’s political correctness and newly discovered implicit bias are just tools used by these two Alinskyites to separate and divide all Americans individual rights through the guise personal choice, but then using those personal choices against one another to instill animosity and disdain for one's private guidelines when fulfilling one’s personal perception of reality and goals! ~~
U.N. has "such great potential," but it has become "just a club for people to get together, talk and have a good time. So sad!"
“The United Nations is not a friend of democracy. It’s not a friend to freedom,” Trump said at the American Israel Public Affairs
Committee conference in Washington. “It’s not a friend even to the United States of America, where as all know, it has its home, “And it surely isn’t a friend to Israel, and never has been!”
Trump added that any deal by the U.N. to force an agreement between Israel and the Palestinian Authority should be blocked, as it “will only further de-legitimatize Israel and it would reward Palestinian terrorism.”
Honestly, the U.N. de-legitimizes nearly everything it touches — the entire organization is rooted in globalism and all you see come out of the U.N. headquarters are letters — letters condemning North Korea or Iran for breaking an international treaty, for example.
However, that’s the extent of the U.N.’s reprimands. You’ll just see letters — “all talk, no action” as Trump might say.
In his AIPAC speech, Trump went over the atrocities Israel faced from surrounding countries and the U.N.’s apathy toward the matter. In fact, he aligned himself with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s sentiments:
“The Palestinians want a state, but they have to give peace in
return. What they’re trying to do in the United Nations is to get a state without giving Israel peace or giving Israel peace and
security. And I think that’s, that’s wrong. That should not succeed. That should, that should fail.”
At what point is enough, enough? At what point are Obama supporters going to realize that they’ve been used to advance an agenda that’s nowhere near parallel to what’s made America great for generations of patriotic Americans?  At what point are the progressive left going to understand that once you realize Obama is not on your side, that everything he has done to undermine our Constitution and our exceptionalism is not only understandable, but makes perfect sense!
MIDDLE EAST PEACE ‘PLAN’ IS SIMPLY AND ACT OF MORAL COWARDICE!!
For eight years, Barack Obama has given lip service to our special relationship with Israel, the only democracy in the Middle East and our longtime ally. During that time, the United States has opposed anti-Israel efforts in the United Nations, standing shoulder to shoulder with Israel. But with less than four weeks before he leaves office, Barack Obama finally worked with Israel’s enemies to pass a United Nations resolution hostile to Israel.
This is an act of moral cowardice and immaturity the likes of which Barack Obama thinks only Donald Trump is capable of.
Nothing has changed in our relationship with Israel in the past several years. Obama has been increasingly hostile toward Israeli interests, but he has maintained a façade of friendship. Nothing has changed. The only thing that has changed is how much longer Barack Obama has in office and the fact that voters will never again see him on a ballot.
On Wednesday, with less than three weeks to go before they depart, John Kerry gave a speech offering a “comprehensive vision” on Middle East peace. He is allegedly expected to recognize a Palestinian state — something no American administration, including this one, has done.
Doing so three weeks before departing office does nothing but create headaches for an incoming administration by an outgoing administration too cowardly to do this before now.
It is not leadership to wait till you have one foot out the door to be bold. It is reckless cowardice and a descent into stereotype of Trumpism this administration believes. Turning nearly a half-century of American foreign policy on its head in the literal final weeks of a presidency is not competent leadership, but childish petulance.
Childish petulance, however, is Barack Obama’s
legacy. His childish petulance, though he may never admit it, gave rise to Donald Trump, who is Obama’s ultimate legacy.  By Erick Erickson, a Friend of America!
Leaked Documents Show U.S/Palestinian Collusion Before UN Resolution Vote
According to the document, Kerry and [National Security Adviser Susan] Rice said America’s UN Ambassador Samantha Power was prepared to meet with Palestinian UN Ambassador Riyad Mansour to discuss the matter. Rice and Kerry are said to have asked Erekat and the other members of the delegation to keep the meeting top secret. Kerry and Rice said they wanted to avoid leaks of the meeting to the media because of the sensitivity of the transition to the Trump administration.
[…]
According to the leaked document, Rice told the Palestinian delegation that the Trump administration was very dangerous for them because his positions on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict differed from those of all American administrations since 1967. Rice recommended that the Palestinians take seriously what Trump’s advisers were saying about moving the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem and annexation of parts of the West Bank to Israel.
The document quotes Rice as asking Erekat what the Palestinians would do if Trump moved the embassy to Jerusalem and made it possible for Israel to annex part of the West Bank. It quotes Erekat as replying that the Palestinians would immediately join 16 UN agencies in which they
were not yet members, retract the PLO’s recognition of Israel, freeze security cooperation and diplomatic and economic ties with Israel, make Israel responsible for the management of daily life in the PA, and call on all Arab countries to expel U.S. ambassadors.
Over at The Washington Examiner, Joel Gehrke reported that the U.S. was discussing the resolution throughout the fall:
Secretary of State John Kerry advised Egyptian and Palestinian diplomats on how to write a resolution condemning Israeli settlement construction that would avoid an American veto, but he did not "orchestrate" the international rebuke, according to a spokesman.
"Of course, there has been for some time in the fall, talk about this resolution or that resolution with regard to Middle East peace and the Israeli-Palestinian issue," State Department spokesman Mark Toner told reporters. "Of course, in the course of those conversations, we're always making clear what our parameters are, what our beliefs are, what we need to see in order to even consider a resolution. That's part of the give and take of the U.N."
Alan Dershowitz slammed Obama’s treatment of Israel with this resolution, adding that he will go down as one of the nation’s worst presidents regarding foreign policy.
Secretary of State John Kerry defended the U.S.’s
decision to not veto the UN resolution on Israeli settlements, saying that right wing extremists
are driving Israel—and that this was necessary to save the peace process. President-elect Trump said Israel should stay strong. By Matt Vespa, a Friend of America!
UNABLE TO BE STRAIGHT WITH HIMSELF – OR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE!
President Obama underplays American concessions and overplays Iranian commitments in the nuclear talks.
In the confrontation of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Barack Obama, we are seeing the consequences of the long game Obama initiated right in his inauguration eight years ago: “To those who cling to power through corruption and deceit and the silencing of dissent,” he declared, “know that you are on the wrong side of history, but that we will extend a hand if you are willing to unclench your fist.” A regime might well be tyrannous and murderous, as Iran had been since the return of Ayatollah Khomeini in 1979, but the better angels of human nature might reassert themselves if embraced in a web of cooperation. It was a big bet, given the history of Iran where the very word ‘democracy’ was not used in Khomeini’s regime, with many hundreds executed and thousands targeted for assassination in other countries. And the new Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei had maintained that monstrous program for a time, even doubling the rewards for assassinations. He interpreted Obama’s gesture as a weakness. Six months later, he was brutal in his suppression of the Green Revolution. He was confirmed in his evaluation when the Obama administration failed to do more than whimper. Former Defense Secretary Robert Gates has said he now regrets their restraint; they were advised by the CIA and the State Department that too powerful an American voice might enable the regime to label the protesters as American puppets. Maybe so, but the inertia was also an expression of the new strategy of conciliation. Gates says the suppression of the Green Revolution ended “most support inside the administration.” What it didn’t end was Obama’s infatuation with his illusion of making Iran safe for democracy.
Khamenei’s appreciation of U.S. restraint was another bout of fist-clenching, albeit in secrecy. `Only later did we discover that he had built an underground bunker at Fordow for the enrichment of uranium, in violation of the agreements under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation
Treaty. For a moment, there, it seemed as if Obama would follow the angry French lead and react forcefully. Khamenei adroitly forestalled punishment by a sudden bout of reasonableness. He agreed that the Iranians would ship their stockpiles of low-grade fissile material to Russia in exchange for fuel rods for energy. This played brilliantly to the Obama strategy. He resisted the congressional hawks who hadn’t imbibed the Kool-Aid. Doubting Thomases, they thought Iran could not be trusted so by 99 votes to zero enacted the Comprehensive Iran Sanctions Accountability and Divestment Act. Once the focus on this initial crisis was diverted, Khamenei reneged on the deal. Only recently the Iranians insisted that the transfer the world thought was happening is not. Iran has held on to its uranium, a failure that ought to have reaped headlines, but hasn’t: For the media, the Netanyahu vs. Obama show is more fun.
Obama was not deflected from his strategy by Iran’s second thought. Indeed, his attachment to it was one of the reasons he finally retreated from the red line he had drawn in Syria. The CIA had drawn up a plan to equip Syrian rebels in Jordan and provide assistance once they were back in Syria. Obama stopped it – not because he’d gone soft on Bashar Assad. It was because he was still soft on Iran, Assad’s main benefactor. Subsequently Obama opened a secret bilateral channel to Mahmoud Ahmedinejad’s regime, according to Mosaic’s Michael Doran. Major concessions were offered on sanctions and permitting the Iranians to continue enriching uranium to levels of 5 percent. Six U.N. Security Council resolutions had ordered Iran to cease all enrichment and reprocessing. Iran demanded the right to enrich. In effect, Obama was prepared to end the economic sanctions on Iran entirely and allow the Iranians to enrich uranium in perpetuity, Doran wrote.

Obama is such a captive of his own illusions about Iran that he has been unable to be straight with the American people. In reporting, belatedly on the November 2013 interim agreement, he boasted it had “halted” Iran’s nuclear program. In fact, major
American concessions were traded for Iranian gestures of temporary restraint, concessions that will likely never be reversed. Instead of halting the Iranian program, the agreement froze only American actions. Iranian nuclear engineers continued their work to improve the efficiency of their centrifuges and to master the use of more effective centrifuges.
Khamenei’s appreciation of U.S. restraint was another bout of fist-clenching, albeit in secrecy. `Only later did we discover that he had built an underground bunker at Fordow for the enrichment of uranium, in violation of the agreements under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. For a moment, there, it seemed as if Obama would follow the angry French lead and react forcefully. Khamenei adroitly forestalled punishment by a sudden bout of reasonableness. He agreed that the Iranians would ship their stockpiles of low-grade fissile material to Russia in exchange for fuel rods for energy. This played brilliantly to the Obama strategy. He resisted the congressional hawks who hadn’t imbibed the Kool-Aid. Doubting Thomases, they thought Iran could not be trusted so by 99 votes to zero enacted the Comprehensive Iran Sanctions Accountability and Divestment Act. Once the focus on this initial crisis was diverted, Khamenei reneged on the deal. Only recently the Iranians insisted that the transfer the world thought was happening is not. Iran has held on to its uranium, a failure that ought to have reaped headlines, but hasn’t: For the media, the Netanyahu vs. Obama show is more fun.
Obama was not deflected from his strategy by Iran’s second thought. Indeed, his attachment to it was one of the reasons he finally retreated from the red line he had drawn in Syria. The CIA had drawn up a plan to equip Syrian rebels in Jordan and provide assistance once they were back in Syria. Obama stopped it – not because he’d gone soft on Bashar Assad. It was because he was still soft on Iran, Assad’s main benefactor. Subsequently Obama opened a secret bilateral channel to
Mahmoud Ahmedinejad’s regime, according to Mosaic’s Michael Doran. Major concessions were offered on sanctions and permitting the Iranians to continue enriching uranium to levels of 5 percent. Six U.N. Security Council resolutions had ordered Iran to cease all enrichment and reprocessing. Iran demanded the right to enrich. In effect, Obama was prepared to end the economic sanctions on Iran entirely and allow the Iranians to enrich uranium in perpetuity, Doran wrote.

No nuclear plant is being dismantled. Here, too, the administration has misled the public by underplaying the American concessions and overplaying the Iranian commitment. The Iranian foreign minister blew a hole in the smooth talk by
defying an interviewer on television to find a single word in the agreement that even closely resembled dismantling or could be defined as dismantling in the entire text. Iranian President Hassan Rouhani went further. Iran had refused to destroy centrifuges, he said, and would never destroy them under any circumstances, contrary to the implicit suggestion by the administration that the final agreement would force the Iranians to dismantle some 15,000 centrifuges.
Obama thought he was offering a strategic accommodation with the U.S., but Khamenei is betting that Obama will accommodate Iran even if it pursues an industrial-scale nuclear program. Remarkably, Obama retreated even further in agreeing Iran could have $700 million a month in revenues reportedly allowing Iran to retain in one form or another its facilities in Natanz, Fordow and Arak, sites that Iran built in flagrant violation of the non-proliferation treaty, wrote Doran. Dennis Ross, Bill Clinton’s and Obama’s preeminent Middle East peace envoy, is scathing in his condemnation of the president’s ongoing concessions to the Iranians.
The people most affected by Obama’s zeal for a strategic grand bargain with Iran see through all this. Netanyahu’s Hail Mary pass before Congress was a devastating indictment boldly
delivered. Obama’s successive appeasements, he said, had added up to paving the way to an Iranian bomb (and the unregulated missiles they’re building, too).
And again, if Iran wants to be treated like a normal country, let it behave like one. It trains and arms terrorists in Hamas and Hezbollah. Khamenei’s idea of moderation is to channel Pol Pot. In a recent post, he says he doesn’t mean Israel should be annihilated by a bomb but simply abolished as a country inhabited by people there before 1948. Oh, and yes, give weapons to Palestinians on the West Bank. Presumably not to be policemen, but to simply eradicate Jews who don’t want to leave.
None of the Sunni powers in the region see American outreach to Tehran as good news, particularly since Obama has given Iran a free hand in Syria and Iraq over the last three years. Obama has allowed Iranian troops to dig on the border of Israel and the border of Jordan. King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia urged the U.S. to destroy Iran’s program and thereby “cut off the head of the snake in the Middle East.”
A proposed 10-year ban on Iran’s nuclear work won’t cut off the head. It is too short a time for a transition to a civilized state – and do we really want a nuclear-capable Iran, ever? Not in 10, 20, 100 years. We should abandon the daydream that embracing and enriching Iran will turn it into Switzerland. To date, the
efforts to sooth the rogue regime are emboldening it. Iran is thinking like an old-fashioned superpower, yet instead of forcing them to get rid of the Iranian nuclear threat, we’re not even verifying or inspecting it.
The risks of letting Iran get to the one-year threshold of being a nuclear power are too great, given how much religion and ideology dominate their thinking. Ray Takeyh of the Council on Foreign Relations describes a 10-year timeframe as a “catastrophic mistake”. Anyway, let’s not get hung up on 10, 11, 12 – Obama talks of “double digits” at one moment and “10” the next. But do we ever want a nuclear-capable Iran in a country as anti-American as the pronouncements of the Iranian leaders suggest they are? As David Brooks of The New York Times put it, “If the Iranian leaders believe what they say, then United States policy should be exactly the opposite of the one now being pursued. Instead of embracing and enriching Iran, sanctions should be toughened to further isolate and weaken it. Instead of accepting a nuclear capacity, eliminating that capacity should be restored as the centerpiece of American policy.” Iran has taken full control of Syria. Revolutionary Guard commanders have taken charge of the front from the Golan Heights all the way down to Daraa in the south. More than 10,000 Shite volunteers have been flown to Syria to repel the Sunnis. This process of Iran-ization is unfolding just 10 kilometers from Israel’s border. Washington, which seems to want a nuclear agreement at nearly any price, has turned a blind eye and is exploiting America’s lack of familiarity with the region. In effect, it has lent its support in transferring control over Damascus to the Iranians. That puts Israel in much greater danger of another broad Iranian front and will present a new regional reality in the form of Iranian power. It is astounding that a country, Iran, that engages in global terrorism that floods the Middle East with blood and surrounds
Israel with terror on three fronts, Lebanon, Gaza and the Golan, be given a tool to threaten the region and to have the capacity to launch an existential threat to Israel. America’s key allies across the Middle East are as upset as Israel over the administration’s

pursuit of a nuclear bargain with Iran, for they see an America
that is about to abandon its long-standing friends to win the favor of their common foe, which is on a rampage across the region. No wonder in a Fox News poll 84 percent of Americans think allowing Iran to get nuclear weapons in 10 years is a bad idea.
This is a life and death issue for Israel. With just one bomb Iran can do to the Jews in 12 minutes what Adolf Hitler did in 12 years. Jews learned from the Holocaust to take fanatics at their word. Nobel prize laureate Elie Wiesel’s invitation is compelling, “Will you join me in

hearing the case for keeping weapons from those who preach death to Israel and America.”

The great Greek leader and historian Pericles once warned: “What I fear more than the strategies of our enemies is our own mistakes.”
With memories of another rabid leader many years ago, whose name was Hitler, it is natural that Israel would consider a nuclear armed Iran as an existential threat. This is a nation, perhaps the only nation, that has been constantly threatened with extinction. Israel is not the enemy. Iran is, especially if it is a nuclear-armed Iran. We should not abandon an ally in the hopes of appeasing an enemy. By Mortimer B. Zuckerman, a Friend of America!
