Several things in the news yesterday point to a concerted effort to undermine and destroy the Trump Presidency even before it has a chance to begin. Some see what’s happening as a scheme to install Hillary Clinton. Others, a strategy to preserve Barack Obama’s Iran deal. Still others think there are mighty secrets about failures in Benghazi and the rise of ISIS. I wouldn’t put anything past the totally corrupted radicals that ran our government over the last eight years or some of the career bureaucrats and analysts in government departments. Information in the links that follow is disturbing if for no other reasons than to point out how desperate the left and left elite republicans must be.
According to PJ Media Obama expanded the powers of the NSA to share globally intercepted personal communications with the government’s 16 other intelligence agencies before applying privacy protections. Attorney General Loretta E. Lynch signed the new rules, permitting the N.S.A. to disseminate “raw signals intelligence information,” on Jan. 3, after the director of national intelligence, James R. Clapper Jr., signed them on Dec. 15, according to a 23-page, largely declassified copy of the procedures. Now what could Obama and Lynch been thinking? It certainly wasn’t your privacy or mine. Instead it is something much more sinister and disturbing.
Next up is a whistle blower that spoke with Breitbart:
William Binney, a former highly placed NSA official turned whistleblower, contended in an exclusive interview today that the National Security Agency (NSA) is “absolutely” monitoring the phone calls of President Donald Trump. … Binney further contended the NSA may have been behind a data leak that might have revealed that Michael Flynn, Trump’s national security adviser, allegedly misled Vice President Mike Pence and other Trump administration officials about the contents of his phone calls with Russia’s ambassador to Washington.
The American Thinker reports…
…the latest name to emerge in the spreading swamp of connivers who did Flynn in this week is none other than the Obama administration’s former National Security Council deputy adviser for strategic communications, Ben Rhodes.
According to a report in the Washington Free Beacon, Flynn’s resignation:
… is the culmination of a secret, months-long campaign by former Obama administration confidantes to handicap President Donald Trump’s national security apparatus and preserve the nuclear deal with Iran, according to multiple sources in and out of the White House who described to the Washington Free Beacon a behind-the-scenes effort by these officials to plant a series of damaging stories about Flynn in the national media. The effort, said to include former Obama administration adviser Ben Rhodes[.]
The Beacon goes on to discuss Rhodes’s interest in preserving the atrocious Iran deal fiasco as part of the Obama legacy.
Andrew Pudzer, Trumps nominee for the Department of Labor withdrew his name today. None of the things they accused him of were true; he didn’t need or want the headaches.
Mediaite has a bit of fun with CNN’s Sally Kohn’s plan to unseat the administration: 1. Impeach Trump & Pence, 2. Constitutional crisis, 3. Call special election, 4. Ryan v Clinton, 5. President Clinton. She is delusional to say the least.
All of this is enough to make your head spin, which is exactly what they expect and want. But I doubt if this is what the America people want. Protest is one thing, sabotage is quite another. Before you decide you should also read Powerline:
The Democrats are trying to make a scandal out of the fact that one or more people associated with the Trump presidential campaign had telephone conversations with one or more representatives of the Russian government prior to Trump’s inauguration. Is there anything wrong with that? Not as far as we know. The CIA/NSA leakers have declined to say anything about the content of the conversations, so they must have been benign. Let’s release the tapes and eliminate all doubt, and then let’s fire the leakers and, if appropriate, send them to prison.
But in the meantime, let’s not forget an infinitely bigger scandal: in 2008, while he was running for the presidency, Barack Obama deliberately undermined American foreign policy by secretly encouraging Iran’s mullahs to hold out until he became president, because he would be easier to deal with than President George Bush. I wrote about the Obama scandal here: “HOW BARACK OBAMA UNDERCUT BUSH ADMINISTRATION’S NUCLEAR NEGOTIATIONS WITH IRAN.” Check out the original post for links. Here it is:
In 2008, the Bush administration, along with the “six powers,” was negotiating with Iran concerning that country’s nuclear arms program. The Bush administration’s objective was to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. On July 20, 2008, the New York Times headlined: “Nuclear Talks With Iran End in a Deadlock.” What caused the talks to founder? The Times explained:
Iran responded with a written document that failed to address the main issue: international demands that it stop enriching uranium. And Iranian diplomats reiterated before the talks that they considered the issue nonnegotiable.
The Iranians held firm to their position, perhaps because they knew that help was on the way, in the form of a new president. Barack Obama had clinched the Democratic nomination on June 3. At some point either before or after that date, but prior to the election, he secretly let the Iranians know that he would be much easier to bargain with than President Bush. (continues)
There’s a devious cabal in DC. Stay tuned, this story is just beginning and it could get really ugly before all is said and done.
‘Bread and Circuses’ is the cancer of democracy, the fatal disease for which there is no cure. Democracy often works beautifully at first. But once a state extends the franchise to every warm body, be he producer or parasite, that day marks the beginning of the end of the state. For when the plebs discover that they can vote themselves bread and circuses without limit and that the productive members of the body politic cannot stop them, they will do so, until the state bleeds to death, or in its weakened condition the state succumbs to an invader – the barbarians enter Rome.
Mine was a lovely world – until the parasites took over.

Welcome to the second American Civil War. We’ll see.
On the one hand, it’s hysterical. I mean, this is what he likes to do … bask in the adoration of morons, and Lord knows he’s had a rough week … worse, even, than the one before that.
http://www.cnn.com/2017/02/15/politics/donald-trump-campaign-rally/
On the other hand …
AAAAAAaaaaaRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrGGGGGGgggggHHHHHhhhhhh!
And Tina … Puzder admits … owns up … confesses … that he employed and illegal and, knowingly, failed to pay taxes pertaining.
So don’t lie. Pudzer WAS accused of domestic violence, by a flake, as it now seems … but he WAS accused. That is the truth. So, at the very least, he is a poor judge of character.
We are up to here with you and your “alternative facts” … and your nose will be rubbed into the truth of the matter every single time I can muster the energy to do it … so how about you just knock it off.
Lie? When did I address either of these issues? The only accusations I referred to were in the stories I posted and they were mostly about business:
You really should quit the smug, righteous act, especially since you so often fail to understand my position or have a handle on the facts. I’m interested in the truth and the law. If your side had information that was possibly worthy of prosecution why not go through the process rather than LIE about the record? Lies just point to how corrupt and devious you guys are and how little you care about the nation and the people.
People who will do anything to keep power should be rejected by the people and they have been. This desperate cloak and dagger game will not work to end this administration or the agenda that the majority of people in the various districts across the land had in mind when they voted your party OUT. Voters voted Trump, more to the point, they voted democrats out (1000+) in governorships and legislatures all across the land. They voted out activism too.
Keep this low life game up and you can expect to lose even more!
Tina, you said nothing Puzder was accused of was true. But he admitted the allegation that he employed illegal immigrants was true.
Yep. The sky is maybe falling?
The other, perhaps larger point, that baseless lies are being put out there doesn’t mean anything to you?
Are you comfortable with the professional media getting the facts wrong? Why are they not run out of their jobs?
What are you talking about? The only person I see who got a fact wrong was you.
The Orange One’s priorities are particularly alarming if this is anywhere near true:

The man has work to do.
First, does he even know that the “deep state” exists? Judging by the incessant and imbecilic tweeting, I would say not, even though, on a simplistic level, he campaigned against the thing. He has to find somebody who can explain it to him … or he is toast.
Sundance at The Conservative Treehouse, “Secretary Rex Tillerson Begins Deconstructing 7th Floor “Shadow Government” at Dept of State…”
Blockquote>The term “shadow government” is not a construct of critics; it’s actually the term the professional bureaucrats within the 7th floor of the Washington DC based Department of State gave to themselves.
The career political operatives who reign within the State Department openly view themselves as a distinctly separate state governing authority, with no attachment to the policies or objectives of the United States presidency or any mere elected official therein.
For years this group has considered themselves “the untouchables”.
They live a life of high financed indulgence including: massive expense accounts, chartered airline travel, swanky cocktail parties, expense chauffeurs to take their kids to private school, seasonally designed home decor – appointed by only the very best interior designers, personal security to keep the commoners away, tickets to the best venues and reserved seating at elite DC restaurants.
With first rights to the budget expenditures, the 7th floor group finds no indulgence too extravagant for their intellectual elitism. They demand nothing but the finest because they are the most worthy of the DC professionally privileged – who are more equal than others; and after all, their jobs require them to host and visit like-minded diplomats, and celebrities with exclusive tastes from around the world.
Today, this elite crew collectively choked on their crust-less triangle sandwiches:
WASHINGTON DC – […] Much of seventh-floor staff, who work for the Deputy Secretary of State for Management and Resources and the Counselor offices, were told today that their services were no longer needed.
[…] Two sources also told CBS News that Ambassador Kristie Kenney, the Counselor of the State Department and one of the last remaining senior officials, was informed that she will be let go. She is a career foreign service officer who had served as an ambassador under Presidents Obama, Bush and Clinton. Her staff was told that Secretary Tillerson does not intend to fill the counselor’s position anytime soon.
[…] “It is irresponsible to let qualified, nonpartisan, experienced people go before you have any idea of their replacement. You can’t do foreign policy by sitting in the White House, just out of your back pocket,” explains Tom Countryman, Former Assistant Secretary for Non-Proliferation who was let go earlier this month.
Countryman worries that the White House is displaying an intent not rely on the State Department for foreign policy in that no one will be in place to challenge the edicts drawn up in the Oval Office. (read more)
Ah yes, who will remain to “challenge the edicts of the Oval Office“? Yes, that’s what they see as ‘THEIR JOB’. Those,.. those… White House vulgarians are merely peon elected officials who represent the far inferior riff-raff types with lesser intellect and class.
Oh, the horror of it all…
Libby your fantasies will give you the vapors if you keep this up.
Heads are already rolling! It’s called cleaning house and we finally have some people in place that can get the job done.
Stupidity is often defined as an inability to learn. Oh, God … that press conference ….?
From CNN:
THE FACTS
Trump claims he had largest Electoral College win since Ronald Reagan. Here are the real numbers…
Trump has made this claim several times, but it’s not true. Here are the numbers, based on votes cast in the Electoral College:
2016: Trump (R) 304
2012: Obama (D) 332
2008: Obama (D) 365
2004: GWBush (R) 286
2000: GWBush (R) 271
1996: Clinton (D) 379
1992: Clinton (D) 370
1988: GHWBush (R) 426
1984: Reagan (R) 525
1980: Reagan (R) 489
He is not learning. It was cute on the campaign trail, but it simply will not work on the job. I mean … every single thing out of the man’s mouth … cringe-worthy.
God … I wish I had work to do today. This is, like, poisonous:
“I have nothing to do with Russia,” the idiot says.
USA Today, alas, lays out 30 years of dealing rather succinctly:
1987: Trump was invited to Moscow by the Soviet ambassador to the United States to discuss luxury hotel developments. Trump later told Playboy magazine that his plans to build hotels in Moscow failed because the country “was out of control and the leadership knows it.” Four years later, on Christmas Day, the Soviet Union officially dissolved, and Russians who had been allowed to buy state-owned enterprises amassed enormous fortunes.
1996: While wrapping up a series of bankruptcies in New York, Trump talked of building a replica of his Trump Tower in Moscow and traveled there to discuss renovating the Moskva and Rossiya hotels, according to Bloomberg News. The bankruptcies led to a change in Trump’s business model: Instead of building projects from the ground up, he signed licensing agreements that in some cases gave him an ownership stake in properties that bore his name without putting up any of his own money. The Trump Organization continued to seek wealthy investors in Russia.
Dozens of condominiums in Trump World Tower in midtown Manhattan were bought by Russians in the late 1990s, said Dolly Lenz, a real estate broker who sold many of the units. Many buyers sought an audience with Trump, whose business acumen they respected, Lenz said.
Early 2000s: The Trump Organization developed several projects abroad, many of them involving Russian money.
2007: Trump debuted his Trump Super Premium Vodka at the Millionaire’s Fair in Moscow. Large orders for the gold-glazed spirit followed, but the brand fizzled by 2009, according to The New York Times.
2008: Trump’s son, Donald Trump Jr., told investors in Moscow that the Trump Organization had trademarked the Donald Trump name in Russia and planned to build housing and hotels in Moscow, St. Petersburg and Sochi, and sell licenses to other developers, the Russian daily Kommersant reported. “Russians make up a pretty disproportionate cross-section of a lot of our assets,” Trump Jr. said at the time. “We see a lot of money pouring in from Russia.”
Trump Jr. traveled to Russia a half-dozen times in 18 months looking for deals, but none materialized. He said there were plenty of investment opportunities, but the business environment was dangerous and trustworthy partners hard to find. “It really is a scary place,” he said, according to eTurboNews, an online business publication.
2010: Trump’s next big U.S. project, the Trump SoHo in New York, was built with partner Bayrock Group, founded by Tevfik Arif, a former Soviet official.
2013: Trump brought the Miss Universe Pageant to Moscow, funded by $20 million from Russian billionaire Aras Agalarov. The venue was Agalarov’s Crocus City Hall on the outskirts of Moscow. Trump took part in a music video with Agalarov’s son, Emin.
2016: Trump’s presidential campaign manager, Paul Manafort, resigned in August amid reports that he worked on the political campaign of former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych, who had been forced to flee office because of his pro-Russian stance.
“Alternative Facts” … nothing. The man lives in an alternative universe where, just because he says it, it’s true. This is so weird. How long can it go on? … we ask Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell, but they do not answer.
Business conversations are not the same as policy discussion. You do know the difference?
I’m sorry. I know I’m babbling, but I’m … I’m just floored.
“Let’s have a press conference today!” the jolly little man says.
And there isn’t a soul on his staff who can say: “Mr. President, let’s not.”
And behind all of this is the worst US president in US history, Barack Obama.
Paul Sperry: Obama Has Trained Tens of Thousands of Leftist Organizers at Alinsky Camps:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEPM22xqvl0
How Obama is scheming to sabotage Trump’s presidency:
“When former President Barack Obama said he was “heartened” by anti-Trump protests, he was sending a message of approval to his troops. Troops? Yes, Obama has an army of agitators — numbering more than 30,000 — who will fight his Republican successor at every turn of his historic presidency. And Obama will command them from a bunker less than two miles from the White House.
In what’s shaping up to be a highly unusual post-presidency, Obama isn’t just staying behind in Washington. He’s working behind the scenes to set up what will effectively be a shadow government to not only protect his threatened legacy, but to sabotage the incoming administration and its popular “America First” agenda.”

Peggy, you’re losing it.
“Alinsky Camps”???
“… a bunker” ???
Peggy, when Trudeau did his “Cheney, the dark lord in the mountain fortress” thing … he was kidding. You know that, don’t you?
Aren’t you just a little bit mortified to have fallen for this?
“Lie? When did I address either of these issues?”
This is where: “Trumps nominee for the Department of Labor withdrew his name today. None of the things they accused him of were true; ….”
Yes, they were true … he did employ an illegal, and his wife did accuse him of domestic violence in the midst of one of your messier divorces.
So, try to remember to write true things.
Lets get this straight…most of the things he was accused of were false. The one thing that was true is something that liberals do without much fuss or fanfare.
Honestly … I think the “press conference for the ages” should have been the “Whoa!” for today … but no, we can’t even save this one for tomorrow.

And that is the trouble with them military types … they say right what’s on their mind … and then their buddies tell CNN.
Here’s the deal. Russia did not loose the election for Hillary.
Hillary cheated in the primary and that lost her the millions of votes it would have taken to overcome the GOP Kris Kobach Interstate Crosscheck Cheat that threw the election.
The election is totally separate from the fact Russia hacked. The NSA monitored the elections.
Fact- they knew about any Russian Hacking before the election. Both candidates are crooks there was no real choice and more people stayed home. There was no great mandate won.
Forget the election it was one big cheating fest.
What we have here is an important issue.
Did the Trump campaign collude with Russia with the goal of election Trump? Can the Russian Gov Blackmail trump?
1) We know That trumps campaign had contact with Senior Level Peeps in the Russian Gov the year before the election.
Was there active collusion between the trump campaign and Russian Officials? We do not know …So we must have an investigation to prove either way what was going on.
2)Many Media Outlets are reporting That there are dossier’s showing the Russians are holding info on Trumps past and present business dealings that could expose trump to Blackmail. This must be investigated to find truth one way or another. If the Media is Lying then we need to take them down. In any case we want the answer
The Senate has reports that Trumps contact with the Russian Gov is having extremely bad affects on our alliances with other countries. That this may jeopardize the sharing of intelligence with our allies as they are unsure of the security of the info they give us.
AKA Are trumps boyz sharing?
We the People need to know the Depths of the relationships between the trump campaign and the Russian Gov. A Matter of national Security PERIOD.
Trump refuses to come clean. That leads to suspicions on what is really in those Tax Forms.? Just how in debt is Trump to the Russian banks?
We need answers Now. This has nothing to do with winning or loosing. This is something that is the responsibility of Congress to investigate. The Political party, name of president, or any other thing you can dream of does not matter.
If that was Obama would we already have an investigation?
The sore looser are the ones who do not care about the USA’s national Security over party politics.
Truth to Power is all that matters.
We deserve Answers either Way
I suggest you keep looking, it will keep you busy.
BTW Tina William Binney is respectable. I have used him to debunk your crap. Funny how you evade truth.
The FBI report on the 17 agencies was a farce> Now we need to get to the bottom of this.
What truth?
Also Vault 7 leaks are coming out …The US interfering with the French elections. The CIA must be dismantled
An article in The AmericanSpectator, “Leaky John Brennan,” by George Neumayer asserts that sixties radical John Brennan is behind the leaks at the CIA. Neumayer recalls some history:
Good article…we’ll see what the Justice Department turns up n the coming months.
Info. the MSM won’t be sharing. Wonder what countries they were deported to?
Islamophobic Saudi Arabia Deports 40,000 Muslim Pakistanis, Citing Terrorism Concerns:
“Saudi Arabia has deported a staggering 40,000 Pakistani migrant workers in the span of just four months, citing terrorism concerns.
The Saudi Gazette reported last week that “a number of Pakistanis were held in the crimes of drug trafficking, thefts, forgery and physical assault.” Authorities feared that some of the migrant workers were linked with ISIS, or as the Saudis call the terror group, Daesh. Other migrants were deported due to expired residency and work permits.”
http://www.dailywire.com/news/13535/islamophobic-saudi-arabia-deports-40000-muslim-michael-qazvini
“Other migrants were deported due to expired residency and work permits.”
Damn near all 40,000, in fact. Saudi Arabia imports nearly ALL of its service employees, domestic workers, and that sort of thing from Pakistan, the Phillipines, all sorts of places. And it’s all on a temporary basis. You can go. You can make some money, and then you have to leave.
So, your “news source” here, is warping perfectly ordinary goings-on into something to twist your knickers. Why do you let them?
Peggy Libby blithely dismisses the pertenant part of the article, “…citing terrorism concerns”… ““a number of Pakistanis were held in the crimes of drug trafficking, thefts, forgery and physical assault.” Authorities feared that some of the migrant workers were linked with ISIS, or as the Saudis call the terror group, Daesh.”
While what Libby says is true the Saudis explained the deportations in terms of terrorism and crime also.
Libby is ultra tolerant of law breakers and terrorists. Her arrogance and sense of superiority need to be constantly fed, thus she steps forth to straighten you out. She puts on quite a show. Can you imagine the energy it takes to sustain such drama?
Libby is just a pesky mosquito. What she says has no more worth than one and whose only goal is to spread her diseased filled comments. Facts mean nothing to her and other progressives.
There isn’t any logical mind that would support bringing in hate-filled people who throw gays off of roof tops, stone women for talking to a non-family man member and take away all of a liberated woman’s rights. Makes me question what type of woman she is and if she really wants to live like a subhuman or even nonhuman piece of property.
I’m all for legal immigration, visas and work permits issued temporarily and on an on needed basis. BUT, they all have to agree to live by our laws and no others.
I wonder how Libby would have dealt with this guy?

Can someone tell me what Trump was revering to Saturday at his 2020 Campaign Rally? Where was the terrorist attack, or tragedy in Sweden?
“When you look at what’s happening in Germany, when you look at what’s happening last night in Sweden — Sweden! Who would believe this? Sweden! They took in large numbers, they’re having problems like they never thought possible.”
All I can find is this From Sweden:
3:24 PM (local time): A man set himself on fire at Sergels torg, a plaza in central Stockholm. He was taken to the hospital with severe burns. There is so far no information on his motives but the intelligence service is not part of the investigation.
6:42 PM: The famous singer Owe Thörnqvist had some technical problems during rehearsal for the singing competition ”Melodifestivalen”. (However, the 87 year old singer still managed to secure the victory the very next day.)
8:23 PM: A man died in hospital, after an accident in the workplace earlier that day in the city of Borås.
8:46 PM: Due to harsh weather in the northern parts of Sweden the road E10 was closed between Katterjåkk and Riksgränsen. Due to strong winds and snow in the region the Met office also issued an avalanche warning.
12:17 AM: Police officers initiated a chase for a fleeing Peugeot through central parts of the Swedish capital of Stockholm. The pursuit ended in police officers ramming the suspect at Engelbrektsgatan. The driver is now accused of driving under the influence, traffic violation and car theft.
IN LIGHTER NEWS:
11:23 AM: Ok, let’s not be fake news, this story took place in the autumn, but was reported Friday before lunch and we thought you would like it. A wooden moose got the attention of a lovesick moose bull. It all happened in 79 year old Ove Lindqvist’s garden in Byske outside Skellefteå, northern Sweden. ”I thought it was going to start a fight, instead it humped the wooden moose thrice”, he said.
