OBAMA’S NARCISSISTIC FOND FAREWELL SPEECH, OR RIDING OFF INTO THE SUNSET IN A BLAZE OF ‘SELF GLORY’

By Jonathan E.P. Moore, and Friends of America!
OBAMA’S NARCISSISTIC FOND FAREWELL SPEECH, OR RIDING OFF INTO THE SUNSET IN A BLAZE OF ‘SELF GLORY’ (Your choice, both work for me!)

I love football, and I did a little small college playing myself, but first I was rebellious in my early days, and due to my size was talked into giving football a shot. It turned out to be the best thing I could possibly have done for myself and helped me start on my personal path to self-actualization. To be part of a team where responsibility and doing your part was not only gratifying, but purposeful in its resolve in what it takes to complete the goal, but not only your personal goal, but the team goal where everyone was working together to accomplish a common goal, and that’s ‘winning!’ Unfortunately, that’s something that the of youth today have never had the chance to experience.

President Barack Obama did his everyday thing of preaching about working together, but his together has nothing to do with winning, but collecting participation trophies for effort, and
getting off the couch, putting the remote controller down, and saying hello to a fellow couch potatoe for the sole purpose of getting a little fresh air.

Obama bitches about a higher minimum wage, equal pay, better education, and better housing, but he never mentions ‘winning,’ and for the last eight years has been playing the Socialist inspired, ‘free’ stuff game where you only have to ask, and you will receive, especially when Obama pulls the economic rug out from under all Americans in order for them to ‘need’ the government! What can I say, just another Socialist inspired ‘free’ stuff game that Socialist Obama needs you to play in order to control your life, your liberty, and the freedoms that the Constitution provides for every American citizen!

Trump was right again and the Silent Majority knew it, and with 9 days to go until all American’s can start winning again! Obama is still complaining and doubling down with his ‘hands up’ no fault excuses and blame game for his failed domestic and foreign policies! What Obama and his followers don’t understand is that America has always been a winner, and by that, I mean always worked together, always cared about all Americans and countries in need, always lived up to our potential, and finally, always taking pride in winning! Obama’s group leaders would rather you believe that it’s OK to participate without having to win, and it’s OK not to compete for what’s rightfully yours! We’ve all been handed a great gift as legal American citizens, and that’s the ability to be and do whatever you want or need with the liberties and freedoms granted to you in the constitution that gives American’s a chance to be great again, so take the bull by the horns in 9 days, and help America get back on the path of greatness and generosity that all countries already knew, before Obama! ~~

Getting back to football and the competitive spirit that’s naturally bred in all Americans, we have ended up in a tie with

the ‘New’ Socialist Party of America opposition to America’s exceptionalism against Trump’s ‘New’ America First Party! The score is tied at 3 to 3, so let’s break it down:

When it comes to the ‘New’ Socialist Party of America, they control:

1. Hollywood and their message!
2. The ‘Paid to Report’ Media and their message!
3. The talking points that the above two double down on every minute, every hour, and every day!

When it comes to the ‘New’ America First Party, they control:

1. The House!
2. The Senate!
3. The White House!

A conundrum for sure, and if you understand that the truth about whose backing the “new’ Socialist Party will never be known and never will be, then you’ll know, because of the ‘New’ Socialist Parties control of the ‘Intel,’ about the inability to verify

anything they proclaim, and that includes their Russian hacking

claim, that holds no water! You’ll know and be able to understand that the ‘Paid to Report’ Media has never told you the truth, and as long as the money and ratings are more important than ’Will’ of the American People, never will!

The Media is panicking right now because Trump is ‘Tweeting’ his message over the internet and leaving the ‘Paid to Report’ Media out of the loop, but fear not, they still use their own corrupt circle of half-truths and innuendos to spin Trump’s messages to America about his political

cabinet choices and the not so smooth transitions of power hurdles and speedbumps! Twitter is the way to go and the way America communicates today to get the news that’s fit to print by using this rapid delivery option. There’s no 15 minutes of fame for reporters to spin their webs of intent and interpretation, and no stressful trials and tribulations that come with a one sided partisan attack that they use to spin their message to the gullible public who don’t have the time or need to know the truth! ~~

Last night the president spoke about having a basic sense of solidarity with one another. We’re all in this together mentality; we rise or fall as one. He then spoke about the three threats (or challenges) facing the country. Oh, and there were hallmark passages exhibiting the awesomeness that is Barack Obama and the Democratic Party that has been devastated under his presidency.

The first threat is economic inequality: Blah, Blah, Blah …. Blah, blah/blah! Been there, heard it before!

The second is race relations: Blah, Blah, Blah …. Blah, blah/blah! Been there, heard it before!

The third was the breakdown in political discourse—and the need to step out of our own sociopolitical bubbles: Blah, Blah, Blah …. Blah, blah/blah! Been there, heard it way too much before!

The final lecture from Professor Obama on how his principles, and that of the Democratic Party are the true beliefs, therefore, those who are part of the Left are the real Americans. Contrary to what Obama has said, race relations are worse,

unemployment is down, but million have left the workforce, and yes, your side does adhere to and facilitate an authoritarian ethos of political correctness. Yes, he may have struck some
similar tones Trump did regarding the out of work factory worker; the man can deliver a great speech. And this is one of the reasons why he was able to prevent a Romney landslide in these Rust Belt areas in 2012. In all, Obama’s speech was longer than Bush 41, Clinton, and Bush 43 combined, which was used to tell us what a great job he did, how we should not retreat into bubbles, which the Left has already done post-Trump’s win, and how we shouldn’t be so vicious to one another.

You see, visionary thinkers like Obama cannot be bound by normal constitutional structures. Indeed, the very unpopularity of his most cherished diplomatic goals is proof of their prophetic farsightedness.

Barack Obama gained the second jewel in his foreign policy triple crown: the Paris climate accord. It follows his Iran nuclear deal and awaits but the closing of Guantanamo to complete his glittering legacy.

To be sure, Obama will not be submitting the climate agreement for Senate ratification. It would have no chance of passing — as with the Iranian nuclear deal, also never submitted for the ratification Obama knew he’d never get. And if he does close Guantanamo, it will be in defiance of overwhelming bipartisan congressional opposition.

Yet the climate deal brought back from Paris by Secretary of State John Kerry turns out to be no deal at all. It is, instead, a series of carbon-reducing promises made individually and unilaterally

by the world’s nations.

No enforcement, no sanctions, nothing legally binding. No matter, explained Kerry on “Fox News Sunday”: “This mandatory reporting requirement . . . is a serious form of enforcement, if you will, of compliance, but there is no penalty for it, obviously.”

If you think that’s gibberish, you’re not alone. NASA scientist James Hansen, America’s leading carbon abolitionist, indelicately called the whole deal “bulls---.”

He’s right.!

The great Paris achievement is supposed to be global “transparency.” But what can that possibly amount to when you can’t even trust the reporting? Just three months ago, the world’s greatest carbon emitter, China, admitted to having underreported its burning of coal by 17%, a staggering error (assuming it wasn’t a deliberate deception) equal to the entire coal consumption of Germany.

I’m a climate-change agnostic. But I’m realistic enough to welcome prudent hedging against a possible worst-case scenario. I’ve long advocated for a multilateral agreement (unilateral U.S. actions being climatically useless and economically suicidal) negotiated with the most important players — say, India, China and the European Union — containing real limits, real numbers and real enforcement. That would be a genuine achievement.

What the climate-change conference produced instead was hot air, applauded by 196 well-fed participants. (Fourteen nights in Paris, after all.) China promises to begin reducing carbon

emissions 15 years from now. India announced it will be tripling its coal-fired electricity capacity by 2030. Meanwhile, the Obama administration is effectively dismantling America’s entire coal industry.

Looking for guidance on how the U.S. will fare under this new environmental regime? Take a glance at Obama’s other great triumph, the Iran nuclear accord.

Does the American public know that the Iranian parliament has never approved it? And that the Iranian president has never signed it? Iran is not legally bound to anything. As the State Department freely admitted (in a letter to Rep. Mike Pompeo of the House Intelligence Committee), the deal “is not a treaty or an executive agreement, and is not a signed document.”

But don’t worry. Its success “will depend not on whether it is legally binding or signed, but rather on the extensive verification measures” and our “capacity to impose — and ramp up — our sanctions if Iran does not meet its commitments.”

And how is that going?

On Nov. 21, Iran conducted its second test of a nuclear-capable ballistic missile in direct contravention of two U.N. Security Council prohibitions, including one that incorporates the current nuclear agreement — which bans such tests for eight years.

Our response? After Iran’s first illegal launch in October, the administration did nothing. A few

words at the United Nations. Weren’t we repeatedly assured that any Iranian violation would be met with vigorous action? No worry, again. As UN Ambassador Samantha Power told a congressional hearing last week, “discussions are a form of UN action.”

The heart sinks!

It was obvious from the very beginning that the whole administration promise of “snapback” sanctions was a farce. The Iranians knew it. Hence their contempt for even the prospect of American pushback: two illegal missile launches conducted ostentatiously even before sanctions are lifted and before they receive their $150 billion in unfrozen assets early next year.

Why not? They know Obama will ignore, downplay and explain away any violation, lest it jeopardize his transformative foreign policy legacy.

It’s a legacy of fictional agreements. The proliferators and the polluters are not bound. By our own volition, we are!

Only Guantanamo remains, and remaining prisoners will be released. Obama will not be denied! By ‘Sorry, not by me, a Friend of America! Please step forward.

CAN WE WAIT FOR AMERICAN INGENUITY AND INVENTIVENESS TO SOLVE ANOTHER THREAT TO HUMANITY, OR BANKRUPT SOCIETIES TO ENRICH THE RICH, POLITICALLY?

The global climate change industry is worth an annual $1.5 trillion, according to Climate Change Business Journal. That’s the equivalent of $4 billion a day spent on vital stuff like carbon trading,

biofuels, and wind turbines. Or — as Jo Nova notes — it’s the same amount the world spends every year on online shopping.

But there’s a subtle difference between these two industries — the global warming one and the online shopping one. Can you guess what it is?

Well, it’s like this. When you go to, say, Charles Tyrwhitt to buy a nice, smart shirt, or Amazon to buy the box set of Game of Thrones, or Krazykrazysextoy.com to replace your girlfriend’s worn out rabbit, no one is holding a gun to your head. You are buying these things of your own free volition either for yourself or for someone you love. You have paid for them, out of your own money, because you have made the calculation that they will make your life that little bit better. Better than it would, say, if you’d kept the money in your bank account or spent it on something less desirable — a novelty dog poo ornament, say, or a hand knitted sweater with Jimmy Savile’s face on it and “I HEART paedos” picked out in gold lamé lettering.

When, on the other hand, you buy stuff from the climate change industry, you have no choice in the matter whatsoever. It’s already priced into your taxes, your electricity bills, the cost of your petrol, the cost of your airfare, the cost of every product you buy and every service you use. It is utterly inescapable, this expenditure. Yet unlike your online shopping — which, remember, costs roughly the same as you spend each year on the climate change industry — you get precisely nothing in return.

No, it’s worse than that. You get less than nothing. You get stuff forced on you that you really don’t want: bat-chomping, bird-slicing eco-crucifixes looming on your horizon, keeping you awake, trashing  your property values; fields of solar panels where they used to grow wheat or you used to walk your dog; prissy missives from your local council expecting you to be grateful for the fact that now you’ve got to separate your trash into seven different recycling bags rather than the previous five, and that they’re only going to collect your rubbish once a fortnight instead of once a week; teachers filling your kids’ heads with junk science propaganda; free parking slots for electric cars

you don’t own but which you subsidies for richer friends who do; feel-bad nature documentaries about how it’s all your fault that this stuff “may” soon disappear; energy-saving lightbulbs that take your nocturnal home back to the kind of sepulchral gloom Western civilization thought it had bade farewell to in the 1890s; the Prius, the car which recalls the style and comfort of the cars the fall of the Berlin Wall was supposed to have ended; yawning gaps where used to grow the woods which have been chopped down and chipped to create biomass for burning in power stations which used to run more cheaply and efficiently on coal…

Then there are the people who benefit financially from this $1.5 trillion climate change industry: the carbon traders; the dodgy academics; the vulture capitalists pecking on the bloated carcass of renewable energy; the environmental NGOs; the environmental consultancies who specialize in giving “expert” testimony at planning appeals, arguing on the most spurious grounds that no the bats and birds in this area aren’t going to be affected by this new wind turbine they’re going to be happier than ever no really; the sustainability officers at every level of local government; the green advisers attached to every business who advise them how to reduce their CO2 count; the PR companies that specialize in green awareness; Dale Vince….

These people do not deserve your money. Not a penny, a cent, or a sou of it.

Look, I don’t begrudge anyone the right to earn a living — just so long as they’re providing someone, somewhere with something

they actually need. Not a single person working in the climate change industry fulfils this criterion. Not one. If you scrapped Michael Mann’s job tomorrow the world would not suffer the slightest loss and science would be all the better for it.

Sure, you might argue, there’s some kind of trickledown effect as the money we’re force to pay these shysters and bludgers and charlatans and scroungers via various taxes and tariffs feeds back into the economy. But you could make the same argument were these people paid the same amount of money by the government to dig holes in the ground and fill them up again — which would be a vastly preferable use of tax payer money because then these utterly useless parasites would be reminded every day how pointless the “work” they do actually is, whereas as things are, many of them suffer under the delusion that their green non-jobs are somehow virtuous and important.

In the headline, I call the climate change industry a hoax. That’s because, on any objective level it is. I don’t mean that all the scientists and businesses and politicians promoting it are abject liars — just most of them, even if it means that in order to keep earning their living they have to be dishonest with themselves about something they know in their hearts not to be true.

Alex Epstein, author of the ‘Moral Case for Fossil Fuels,’ sets out the fundamental problem with the climate change industry here:

..Increasing the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere from 0.03 per cent to 0.04 per cent has not caused and is not causing catastrophic runaway global warming. Dishonest references to “97 per cent of scientists” equate a mild warming influence, which most scientists agree with and more importantly can demonstrate, with a catastrophic warming influence – which most don’t agree with and none can demonstrate.

That’s it. If you accept the validity of that statement — and how can you not: it is unimpeachably accurate and verifiable — then
it follows that the $1.5 trillion global warming industry represents the most grotesque misuse of manpower and scarce resources in the history of the world. by James Delingpole, a Friend of America!

DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN HILLARY QUESTIONED TRUMPS $BILLION DOLLAR LOSS WHILE OWNING A CASINO………?

Ouch: Clinton Failed Presidential Bid Cost $1.2 Billion for nothing! Isn’t Hillary the one who said ‘Words Matter?’

It’s a record. Hillary Clinton’s failed presidential run cost $1.2 billion. Trump supporters should have a field day with this final bill, given that Clinton slammed the president-elect for losing a billion dollars during his business career.

"What kind of genius loses a billion dollars in a single year?" said the Democratic nominee in October. Well, I guess she can add her name to that list I guess (via NY Post):

Hillary Clinton and her supporters spent a record $1.2 billion for

her losing presidential campaign — twice as much as the winner, Donald Trump, according to the latest records.

The president-elect, who confounded critics during the campaign by saying there was no need to raise or spend $1 billion or more, ended up making do with $600 million.

Clinton’s expensive machine tore through $131.8 million in just the final weeks, finishing with about $839,000 on hand as of Nov. 28,

Team Trump spent $94.5 million in the home stretch — from Oct. 20 to Nov. 28 — and had $7.6 million left.

The figures include all spending by the campaigns, PACs and party committees.

But it’s not all bad news for Clinton. She did make history by

being the first woman nominated by a major party for president, though she was under FBI investigation at the time, and became the fifth person in American history to win more popular votes, but lost the Electoral College. So, her name will be in the books, and liberals take pride in that. For Republicans, they can take immense satisfaction that Hillary will never be president.
