OBAMA CHOKED, AND PELOSI ALTERED DOCS THAT WOULD HAVE DISQUALIFIED OBAMA FROM BEING PRESIDENT!
I can't believe that the Washington Post is trying to steal a little thunder away from President Trump and his signing of the largest legislation for our vets in the history of the Veterans Administration, but WAPO, choses to give Obama another headline for his already non- existent legacy. He didn't answer the bell for the 400,000 men women and children who he deserted and were murdered because of his inactions in Syria, so why wouldn't he 'choke' when dealing with the Russians when they supposedly hacked the election before President Trump was even in office?
(CNN) – A former Obama official said the previous administration “sort of choked” in its effort to punish Russian President Vladimir Putin over his attempts to influence the US presidential election in Donald Trump’s favor, The Washington Post reported Friday.
“It is the hardest thing about my entire time in government to defend,” the former senior Obama administration official told the Post. “I feel like we sort of choked.”
The Post report details how the CIA’s assessment that Putin was directly involved in a cyber campaign to disrupt and discredit the US presidential election in an effort to help Trump prompted the Obama administration to debate dozens of options for deterring or punishing Russia. Those included proposed cyberattacks on Russian infrastructure, the release of CIA-gathered material that might embarrass Putin and economic sanctions, the newspaper reported.
But President Barack Obama ultimately approved only modest measures: the expulsion of a few dozen diplomats, the closure of two Russian compounds, and narrowly targeted economic sanctions that some who designed them described as largely symbolic, the Post said. Another measure, the planting of cyber weapons in Russia’s infrastructure, was still in the planning stages when Obama left office.
Tony Blinken, Obama’s former deputy national security adviser, said Friday that the administration took significant action to prevent Russia from interfering with the electoral system itself. “We made massive efforts so they couldn’t do that,” Blinken told CNN’s Kate Bolduan on “At This Hour.” “This led to two things: President Obama issued a very stark warning to President Putin in September at the G-20 conference in China. What we saw, or thought we saw, after that, it looked like the Russians stopped their efforts. But the damage was already done.”
The report, which features three-dozen high-level officials, confirms what many Democratic lawmakers already believed about Putin, Sen. Jeff Merkley said Friday on CNN’s “New Day.”
“Nothing like the extensive hacking effort and manipulation effort could occur without his involvement,” the Oregon Democrat told CNN’s Alisyn Camerota. “Now we actually know: Yes, Putin directed it.”
“He had a specific goal to defeat (Democratic nominee) Hillary Clinton and that explains the huge coordinated effort from the botnets to the trolls,” Merkley added.
Merkley and other Democratic lawmakers said Russia used extensive methods in the cyber campaign, including 1,000 trolls, hacking and bots to generate fake messages on social media.
Officials in the Post article suggested Obama struggled to find a way to respond to Putin without being so aggressive that he would be perceived as trying to influence the election in Clinton’s favor — a point Merkley echoed Friday.
“It is such a dilemma, because if he had acted aggressively, in a way that he had gone public and said, ‘This is why we’re doing this,’ it would have been seized upon as an attempt to bias the election,” Merkley said. “So, there was enormous bias in the election because of the Russians, but how do you balance that out without further damaging it? It is an extremely difficult problem.” Rep. Adam Kinzinger said Friday that he didn’t find the Post report shocking.
“I think President Trump was legitimately elected by people who voted for him, but this is a very serious issue about defending democracy and our country and integrity of the election system,” he told CNN’s David Gregory on “New Day.” “So we have to go back to countering Russia disinformation. Congress has to work with the White House to give them tools to push back. This is a very serious issue.”
The Illinois Republican, who serves on the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, said Republicans must take the intelligence about Russia’s involvement in the election very seriously to protect future elections.
“The reality is, in two or four years it will serve Vladimir Putin’s interest to take down the Republican Party,” Kinzinger said. “If we weren’t upset about it, we have no right to complain in the future.” Also speaking Friday morning on “New Day,” White House counselor Kellyanne Conway dismissed the idea that Russia influenced the 2016 presidential election. "I think it’s very important to show no nexus has been proven between what Russia or any other foreign government tried to do in the actual election result,” Conway said. “Really the only person making that case prominently is Hillary Clinton.”
“You’ve got everyone saying that there is no nexus, that not a single vote was changed and we’re going to stand by that,” Conway added. “We know that Donald Trump won fairly and squarely 306 electoral votes. It had nothing to do with interference.”
What's going on in the ‘New’ Progressive
Globalist Socialist Party has to have had some effect on their base of what
used to be Traditional Democrats that believe, like most Republicans, that
America’s Constitutional Republic’s foundation is still more than alright with
them. Nancy Pelosi and Chuck-e Schumer should give the inexperienced 'newbie' elected officials of the Democratic Party a chance to know
what they got, and what it's like to be working together hand in hand with open minded Republicans to solve the problems that
the Progressive left has set into motion, and against our founding father’s
vision for America? It’s time for the leaders of the old traditional Democratic
party to have that Progressive cancer eradicated from the Democratic body that
used to believe in America, and use the time of needed in intensive care to get
strong enough to be part of the solution, and not the one creating the problems
for the sake of the 3rd world and the outside interests that only believe in
sharing America’s assets and resources to bolster the lies and deception of
other countries that didn’t have the opportunity to thrive under leadership
that cares more about all Americans individual rights, the encouragement and support to do it on your own, and the tools and know how to get it done, and
get it done on your own terms and time.
It’s time to give
America a possible bipartisan old traditional Democratic party a shot at being
relevant, which is something that the current leadership haven’t been striving
to do for the last 8
years, and after losing the House in 2010, the Senate in 2012, the White House in 2016, and a total of over 1,000 seats overall around the country because of their Socialist agenda, that these past 3 amigos, Obama, Reid, and Nancy Pelosi, and now Harry Reid’s clone of obstruction, Chuck-e Schumer, it’s time to throw in the towel and let go! It's time to allow the new age of Traditional Democratic Leadership to control the reigns of the Party, and allowed to assist the ‘New’ independent America First branch of the Republican Party to help make America Great Again!

I’m a registered Independent, and I agree that the two-party
system with the few fringe parties being giving a boost because of the ‘message
less’ aspirations of the ‘nothing’ new 'left,' but has decided to still double
down on their clandestine agenda of the transformation of America to Socialism, and using
division via political correctness to engineer an atmosphere of discourse and
intolerance because of the differences of every social aspect of every American’s life. There was really any division and deception growing up on the east coast in Jersey, or even remember a line being drawn between the rich or poor, white or
black, Christians or Muslims, builders
or obstructionists, and the Constitution Republic or Socialism, but if there was, which I'm sure there was, were usually worked out amongst the combatants, or at least addressed by the powers to be! I was part of the 'real' world from the late 1950's to the late 70's, after that you learn to adjust your ideas and beliefs through trial and error, and adjust accordingly, but I've never seen the conflicts that Obama's social engineering and political correctness has done to the circles I run in, and to this once exceptional country that has become the biggest envied and respected country in the history of modern times in the world today.
I’m hearing this morning that there are 8-10 Democrats that
want to assist in the repeal and replacement of Obamacare, but with the current
leadership stifling common sense and rational thinking for the American people, especially
when it comes to their healthcare needs, are forced to stand down and not
contribute their 2 cents to repeal and replace the healthcare bill known as Obamacare, that was forced down
the throats of every American!
The leadership needs to step down, and I’m talking about the
Socialist Co-leadership of the DNC, Nancy Pelosi, and Chuck-e (Cheesy) Schumer!
Democrats need America to be great again, and they need to be part of doing that,
but if the leadership is going to tie their own hands, and the hands of their 'newbie' followers who want to remain loyal to the
Constitution and our Constitutional Republic, then it’s time for a political
Party coup, and for their constituency to back the play through their vote.
If you have any common sense at all you would see that what
President Trump is doing, and not being reported by the ‘Paid to Report’ Media
is not all executive orders, but 39 (THE UP TO DATE OF EVERY PROMISE TRUMP HAS DELIVERED ON, AND WHAT THE MEDIA WON'T TELL YOU!)including the biggest legislation signed today to protect our veterans in history, and through bipartisan bills and
regulations that have been set into motion by both sides and passed, but does anyone really think that the 'Paid to Report' Media will let you know about this better then great news, and President Trump delivering on another campaign promise?
Believe it or not there are Democrats out there that care about what this country needs
to do to rebound from the worst unconstitutional President in the history of
America, and a President that leader Nancy Pelosi snuck in under the radar when she knew he was a nationalized citizen, because of his father not being an
American citizen, and not a ‘Natural Born’ citizen, which is a requirement
outlined in our constitution to be President!
If the next generation Democrats forgive this person for what she's done to the Party, to the Constitution, and to America, then it's time to start thinking about an exit plan 'B' for a new, and more rewarding career!

DEMOCRATIC PARTY MORE BANKRUPT THAN EVER!!
The Democrats' comprehensive meltdown after their fifth
straight election loss is a spectacle worth savoring. They're vacillating between
denial and self-flagellation, between consuming depression and delusional
optimism. Some are even blaming hacking for the loss.
Don't let them fool you; they did not expect carpetbagger
Jon Ossoff to lose to Karen Handel in the special election for Georgia's 6th
Congressional District. If they had, they would not have poured unprecedented
millions into the race. No one but gambling addicts intentionally waste that
kind of money.
For all the talk about President Donald Trump's being in
trouble, the Democratic Party is on the ropes. Democrats are in the minority in
the federal and state legislative branches, and they've now sustained five
consecutive losses in special House elections. The Federal Election Commission
reports that the Democratic National Committee raised only $4.3 million in May
-- the worst May for fundraising since 2003. April efforts were almost as
dismal.
I can't remember the last time I heard Democrats beating
themselves up this intensely and openly. "Our brand is worse than
Trump," Rep. Tim Ryan, D-Ohio, said. "We can't just run against
Trump." Ouch. Other Democratic leaders are signaling signs of mutiny
against House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi.
On the other hand, some Democrats insist these losses are a
portent of great things to come. Former Sen. Barbara Boxer says Democrats will
do fine in 2018. Likewise, Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Chairman
Ben Ray Lujan says, "The House is in play (in 2018)." He wrote,
"I don't make this statement lightly -- I've never said it before. ...
This is about much more than one race."
But Rep. Lujan, there hasn't been just one race; there've
been five. If Democrats actually have unprecedented grass-roots energy and
impressive candidates but still can't win, what does that say about your party's
predicament?
Then again, Democrats can't even agree whether Ossoff was a
good candidate. They expressed no doubts before the election, especially not to
their witless Hollywood sugar daddies when soliciting funds for this mega-hyped
wunderkind.
The Democrats' problem is that they are intellectually and
morally bankrupt, as I argued in my 2006 book, "Bankrupt." It's not
that they don't have policy ideas. It's that their ideas don't work, so they
just attack and demonize Republicans. Though Trump is often a convenient
target, they would (and did) crucify any Republican president in office. And
despite the leftward cultural shift of the nation and their virtual monopoly on
academia, the mainstream media and Hollywood, their polices are not that
popular with the American people, so they can't afford to be completely honest
about them.
Ossoff, for example, was hardly running as a liberal. Why
would liberals tout a candidate who wasn't running as a liberal unless they
knew he was pretending? More importantly, why would this darling of the left
have run as a moderate -- unless he and his party knew he wouldn't have stood a
chance had he run as a liberal Democrat?
Even the Democrats' feigned outrage over Russian "interference
with our democracy" is a sham. It would be one thing if the Russians had
disseminated lies about Hillary Clinton, but instead they exposed damaging
truths about her. Without defending Russian perfidy, did that actually hurt the
democratic process in the sense of informing voters? What does harm the
democratic process is the Democrats' assault on the integrity of the voting
process, from blocking voter ID laws to facilitating the voting of immigrants
who are here illegally. And if Democrats were so committed to the democratic
process, they would quit trying to nullify the will of the people with
manufactured Hail Mary impeachment attempts.
Truth be told, nothing would hurt the Democrats more than an
authentic referendum on their policy agenda -- a legitimate unfolding of the
democratic process they profess to treasure. Knowing this, they do everything
they can to make elections about anything but their policies.
They know, for instance, that Obamacare is a failure and a
poster child for failed liberal policies. Yet as premiums and deductibles
skyrocket and choice and quality of care plummet, they barely concede that it
is problematic. Their "policy" argument is to say Republicans want to
hurt and kill Americans by repealing and replacing their abominable plan. On
taxes, immigration and other policies, we are simply mean-spirited bigots.
These tired lies are all they have.
But the Democratic establishment is nothing if not arrogant
and unimaginative. Though focus groups and elections reveal that even
Democratic voters are sick of these bottomless and unfruitful Russian
investigations, they are going to keep beating this dead horse, hoping it comes
to life.
Democrats are welcome to fool themselves into believing
they've dealt Trump a deathblow, but his approval ratings aren't much lower
than when he took office -- despite their endless slandering. They have nothing
new against Trump. They are just recycling the criticisms they made during the
election campaign, which he won.
Let the Democrats keep hallucinating and dissembling. Let
them keep lying about Trump -- because with every passing day, their bankruptcy
is more apparent. But in the meantime, pray that President Trump will resist
the temptation to be distracted by these sordid Democratic efforts to undermine
our democracy. Instead of focusing too much energy on defending himself, he
needs to reignite a fire under the American people -- and particularly
Republicans -- to move forward with his agenda. This week, with his uplifting
speech in Iowa and the Senate's rollout of a health care bill, could be a
promising reboot. ~~By David Limbaugh, a Friend of America!
IDENTITY POLITICS HIJACKED BY PARTY!
Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-MI) is reportedly feeling a bit alone
within her party. She was one of the few Democrats who were not sold on Hillary
Clinton winning the 2016 election. In fact, she felt that Donald Trump would
win. Representing district, where trade and jobs were key, where Hillary
Clintons campaign more or less neglected, and where Donald Trump’s message of
making American great again resonated—Dingell saw the writing on the wall if
the Democrats didn’t change course. They didn’t. Trump won and now she sees her
party as one that’s been hijacked by poisonous identity politics. It’s something
that she feels will continue to be the cause for Democratic defeats in
elections until there’s a purging of this sort of tribal politics.
Here’s is how she felt about her position in the party,
speaking to The Washington Post’s Jonathan Capehart:
The Democratic Party’s in disarray,” Dingell told me in the
latest episode of “Cape Up.” “I don’t know where I belong. I’ve said that. I
sometimes feel like I have no home even in the Democratic Caucus here.” She
went on to say, “We need to put ourselves in other people’s shoes and
understand where their fear is coming from.” Dingell also added this: “We took
people for granted. We, for a long time, thought we had that worker, men and
women, that union worker. We’ve lost them because we stopped talking to them.”
During an interview with MSNBC’s Craig Melvin she said we
have all these caucus for specific ethnic and racial groups, adding that we’ve
lost that sense of “we” thanks to identity politics.
“Our strength comes in community, and that community of us.
And sometimes I don’t feel like I belong in any of the little different
caucuses, but I am proud Democrat who was sent here to represent the working
men and women of my district,” she said.
Melvin asked if she was going to switch parties, given her
isolation from the rank-and-file of her party to which she said she isn’t going
to make news; she’s a proud Democrat and will remain so. He also asked if she
felt identity politics have hijacked her party. Dingell said she was worried
about this trend, noting that if it continues—her party will keep losing
elections.
“I am very concerned that that is what’s happening, and that
we are forgetting that our strength comes in being ‘we,’ all of us coming
together. And if we don’t figure out how we become ‘we’ again, we’re going to
keep losing,” she said.
In Capehart’s column, Dingell also stressed, “We’ve got to
stop demonizing each other…we’ve got to figure out a way to tone down the
rhetoric, that we have to stop this demonization of each other,” she said. “We
have to find a way to respect each other, to listen to each other.”
If I lived in Rep. Dingell’s district, she wouldn’t get my
vote, but she would get my attention. We don’t agree. I’m admittedly a partisan
Republican—always will be—but we can have our views and still have discussions
without throwing punches. And that’s the point Democrats seem to be missing.
You get a Rep. Tim Ryan (D-OH), Rep. Dingell, or any Rust Belt Democrat (what’s left of them) and elevate them—they could lead the Democratic Party out of the wilderness. These remaining Democrats now their constituents and know how to better guide the differing interests between the working class and the educated elite that dots the urban areas. Most importantly, they know that the Democratic Party needs a job-creating economic message that isn’t tethered to anti-free speech hysteria, transgender bathrooms, trigger warnings, lectures about so-called white privilege, or other aspects of the noxious ad authoritarian ethos of political correctness. Some of which I think is responsible for the intense political rhetoric we’re witnessing. The problem is that the D.C. elites still run the show, and they don’t see any value in reaching white working-class voters. They may see they do on television, but if they were serious, we would be seeing those dividends pay off in wining special elections. That hasn’t been the case. ~~By Matt Vespa, a Friend of America!
