They are real...

An apparent Obama supporter turned Trump supporter?

There could be other possible scenarios explaining the seemingly incongruous image.

Maybe you can think of one.

"President Obama Awards Himself Distinguished Public Service Medal"

"Secretary Carter awarded his boss with the medal on January 4 during the Armed Forces Full Honor Farewell Review for the President held at Conmy Hall, Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall in Virginia.

Carter insisted that the medal was a token of appreciation for Obama’s service as commander in chief, the Associated Press reported."

What did Obama base his "Dreams of my Father" book on?

New York Times: "Words of Obama’s Father Still Waiting to Be Read by His Son"

"Letters written long ago by Barack Obama Sr. shed new light on a young Kenyan whose ambitions helped change the course of U.S. history. But for the president, they may also revive old pain."

“It has been my long cherished ambition to further my studies in America,” he wrote in 1958. His name was Barack Hussein Obama, and his dispatches helped unleash a stream of scholarship money that carried him from Kenya to the United States. There, he fathered the child who would become the nation’s first black president, only to vanish from his son’s life a few years after his birth.

In 2013, the Schomburg Center invited President Obama to see the newly discovered documents, which included nearly two dozen of his father’s letters, his transcripts from the University of Hawaii and Harvard University, and references from professors, advisers and supporters. Nearly three years later, as Mr. Obama celebrates his last Father’s Day in the White House, the center is still waiting for a response.

"Pentagon orders commanders to prioritize climate change in all military actions"

Washington Times: The Pentagon is ordering the top brass to incorporate climate change into virtually everything they do, from testing weapons to training troops to war planning to joint exercises with allies.

A new directive’s theme: The U.S. Armed Forces must show “resilience” and beat back the threat based on “actionable science.”

It says the military will not be able to maintain effectiveness unless the directive is followed. It orders the establishment of a new layer of bureaucracy — a wide array of “climate change boards, councils and working groups” to infuse climate change into “programs, plans and policies.”

The Pentagon defines resilience to climate change as: “Ability to anticipate, prepare for, and adapt to changing conditions and withstand, respond to, and recover rapidly from disruptions.”

To four-star generals and admirals, among them the regional combatant commanders who plan and fight the nation’s wars, the directive tells them: “Incorporate climate change impacts into plans and operations and integrate DoD guidance and analysis in Combatant Command planning to address climate change-related risks and opportunities across the full range of military operations, including steady-state campaign planning and operations and contingency planning.”

The directive, “Climate Change Adaptation and Resilience,” is in line with President Obama’s view that global warming is the country’s foremost national security threat...

"Obama reinstates ‘catch-and-release’ policy for illegal immigrants"

Washington Times:  The Obama administration has revived the maligned illegal immigrant “catch-and-release” policy of the Bush years, ordering Border Patrol agents not to bother arresting and deporting many new illegal immigrants, the head of the agents’ labor union revealed Thursday.

Brandon Judd, president of the National Border Patrol Council, told Congress that Homeland Security was embarrassed by the number of illegal immigrants not showing up for their deportation hearings, but instead of cracking down on the immigrants, the department ordered agents not to arrest them in the first place — meaning they no longer need to show up for court.

Mr. Judd said the releases are part of President Obama’s “priorities” program, which orders agents to worry chiefly about criminals, national security risks and illegal immigrants who came into the U.S. after Jan. 1, 2014. Mr. Judd said illegal immigrants without serious criminal convictions have learned that by claiming they came before 2014 — without even needing to show proof — they can be released immediately rather than being arrested.

“Immigration laws today appear to be mere suggestions,” Mr. Judd testified to the House Judiciary Committee’s immigration subcommittee. “That fact is well known in other countries.”

Obama Visits Mosque: ‘Islam Has Always Been Part of America’

Breitbart: President Obama spoke warmly about Islam during his speech at a mosque today, highlighting the contributions that Muslims had made to the fabric of American society.

“Islam has always been part of America,” he said, detailing the beginnings of the religion among African slaves brought to America. He also pointed out that Thomas Jefferson wrote in the Virginia statute for religious freedom that the “Mohammedan” should have his faith protected in the United States.

“The very word Islam comes from ‘Salam’ – peace,” he said. “The standard greeting is ‘As-Salaam-Alaikum’ – ‘Peace be upon you,’” he explained. “Like so many faiths, Islam is rooted in a commitment to compassion and mercy and justice and charity. “Whoever wants to enter paradise, the prophet Mohammad taught, let him treat people the way he would love to be treated,” he said as the audience applauded.

“For Christians like myself, I’m assuming that sounds familiar,” he continued.

"Obama measures wouldn't have kept guns from mass shooters"

AP: The gun control measures a tearful President Barack Obama announced Tuesday would not have prevented the slaughters of 20 first-graders at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, or 14 county workers at a holiday party in San Bernardino, California.

Obama's executive action expands mandatory background checks to gun shows, flea markets and online sales, adds more than 230 examiners and staff to help process them and calls on states to submit accurate and updated criminal history data.

Those measures are seen as crucial to stemming gun suicides — the cause of two-thirds of gun deaths — by blocking immediate access to weapons. But, an Associated Press review shows, they would have had no impact in keeping weapons from the hands of suspects in several of the deadliest recent mass shootings that have spurred calls for tighter gun control.

"How Liberals Are the New Autocrats"

"Progressives may preach the joys of localism, but the trend in government is all the other way in everything from climate change to the economic complexion of your neighborhood."

This could be how our experiment with grassroots democracy finally ends. World leaders—the super-rich, their pet nonprofits, their media boosters, and their allies in the global apparat—gather in Paris to hammer out a deal to transform the planet, and our lives. No one asks much about what the states and the communities, the electorate, or even Congress, thinks of the arrangement. The executive now presumes to rule on these issues.

For many of the world’s leading countries—China, Russia, Saudi Arabia—such top-down edicts are fine and dandy, particularly since their supreme leaders won’t have to adhere to them if inconvenienced. But the desire for centralized control is also spreading among the shrinking remnant of actual democracies, where political give and take is baked into the system.

The will to power is unmistakable.California Gov. Jerry Brown, now posturing as the aged philosopher-prince fresh from Paris, hails the “coercive power of the state” to make people live properly by his lights. California’s high electricity prices, regulation-driven spikes in home values, and the highest energy prices in the continental United States, may be a bane for middle- and working-class families, but are sold as a wonderful achievement among our presumptive masters.

Under President Obama, rule by decree has become commonplace, with federal edicts dictating policies on everything from immigration and labor laws to climate change. No modern leader since Nixon has been so bold in trying to consolidate power. But the current president is also building on a trend: Since 1910 the federal government has doubled its share of government spending to 60 percent. Its share of GDP has now grown to the highest level since World War II.

Today climate change has become the killer app for expanding state control, for example, helping Jerry Brown find his inner Duce. But the authoritarian urge is hardly limited to climate-related issues. It can be seen on college campuses, where uniformity of belief is increasingly mandated. In Europe, the other democratic bastion, the continental bureaucracy now controls ever more of daily life on the continent. You don’t want thousands of Syrian refugees in your town, but the EU knows better. You will take them and like it, or be labeled a racist. (read more)

"It's called the rose garden effect"

"Army officer recommends US soldier Bowe Bergdahl be spared prison"

Defence lawyer Eugene Fidell said Lt. Col. Mark Visger has decided Bergdahl's case should go to a military system similar to civilian courts that handle misdemeanor charges. It limits the maximum punishment to reduction of rank, a bad conduct discharge and a short jail term, though that isn't being sought, Mr Fidell said.

Paul Boyce, a spokesman for the US Army's Force Command, released a statement Saturday that didn't confirm Visger's decision.

"As legal action is ongoing, we continue to maintain careful respect for the military-judicial process, the rights of the accused, and ensuring the case's fairness and impartiality," Boyce said.

Meanwhile Obama's new buddies in Iran say a verdict has been reached on a Washington Post reporter they accuse of spying.

An Iranian judiciary spokesman said Sunday that a verdict has been reached in the espionage case of Washington Post reporter Jason Rezaian, though he offered no details and it was uncertain what the verdict is and whether there is a sentence.

“The ruling on this case has been issued,” Gholamhossein Mohseni Ejei said in a regularly scheduled televised news conference. “There is still the possibility of this ruling being appealed, and it is not final.”

Rezaian, The Post’s Tehran correspondent, has become a symbol of the lack of press freedom in Iran since he was arrested July 22, 2014. His closed-door trial on espionage and related charges ended two months ago, and the delay in a verdict has never been explained.

The Post has vehemently disputed the allegation that Rezaian was a spy.

"Snowden: I'd go to prison to return to the U.S."

"Edward Snowden says he has offered to return to the United States and go to jail for leaking details of National Security Agency programs to intercept electronic communications data on a vast scale."

Snowden told the BBC that he'd "volunteered to go to prison with the government many times," but had not received a formal plea-deal offer.

He said that "so far they've said they won't torture me, which is a start, I think. But we haven't gotten much further than that."

Could it be that Snowden is on Obama's pardon list?

"Guns and alcohol"

"Volokh breaks it down in a way even Obama should understand... but wont. Because as he said he wants to politicize it."

Every day, about 30 people are killed in the U.S. in gun homicides or gun accidents (not counting gun suicides or self-inflicted accidental shootings). And every day, likely about 30 people are killed in homicides where the killer was under the influence of alcohol, plus alcohol-related drunk driving accidents and alcohol-related accidents where the driver wasn’t drunk but the alcohol was likely a factor (again not including those who died in accidents caused by their own alcohol consumption). If you added in gun suicides on one side and those people whose alcohol consumption killed themselves on the other, the deaths would tilt much more on the side of alcohol use, but I generally like to segregate deaths of the user from deaths of others.

So what are we going to do about it? When are we going to ban alcohol? When are we going to institute more common-sense alcohol-control measures?

Please read the whole thing. That guy should be in the Supreme Court.

"Russia demands US to remove warplanes from Syria’s airspace"

"Russian warplanes have begun bombarding Syrian opposition targets in the war-torn nation's north, working on behalf of dictator Bashar al-Assad, according to a senior military official."

The official said airstrikes targeted fighters in the vicinity of Homs, located roughly 60 miles east of a Russian naval facility in Tartus, and were carried out by a "couple" of Russian bombers. The strikes hit targets in Homs and Hama, but there are no presence of ISIS in those areas, a senior U.S. defense official said. These planes are hitting areas where Free Syrian Army and other anti-Assad groups are located, the official said.

The development came after Pentagon officials brushed aside an official request from Russia to clear air space over northern Syria, where Moscow intends to conduct airstrikes against ISIS on behalf of Assad, according to sources who spoke to Fox News.

Book claims Hillary lost it at a meeting with Obama

"Clinton requested a meeting with Obama, against the advice of hubby Bill Clinton, believing “she was being persecuted for minor, meaningless violations,” author Edward Klein writes."

“What I want for you to do is call off your f–king dogs, Barack!” Clinton allegedly barked at Obama, according to Klein’s account, which cited sources close to Clinton and Obama senior adviser Valerie Jarrett.

In another section of the book, Klein says Clinton faces “mounting health issues” — and is secretly worried she’s too sick to run for president, according to an excerpt posted by Radar Online.

The 67-year-old former first lady and New York senator has been “frequently plagued” by “blinding headaches,” according to Klein.

Ron Fournier to Hillary: Come Clean or Get Out

Who am I to judge?

President Barrack Saddam Hussein Obama with his customary sense of decorum and protocol has invited all the denizens of Misfit Island to the White House dinner with Pope Francis. This National league line up includes a divorced gay bishop, a bunch of gay "Catholic" activists and a nun who leads a group that wants more abortions for everyone. Just the type of people that would embarrass the Pope if he takes a photo with them so people can use it to imply that he supports their agenda. You know like photo of Rosalyn Carter with John Wayne Gacy.

Of course Pope Francis is hard to embarrass. He is refusing to meet with Cuban dissidents when he is in Cuba because.....I don't know....Fidel is his kind of guy. The Pope does seem to base a lot of his world view on the position that the US is at fault for most of the worlds problems. Well that capitalism is at fault. He calls capitalism the devils poop. His views align much more with Fidel than the Cuban dissidents who are seeking freedom so I guess it makes sense that he will not meet with them.

I do no that he will not be protesting in front of a Planned Parenthood clinic. He will be in Philly but he won't stop and pray in front of Gosnell's clinic. I can not find where he has denounced Planned Parenthood or referenced the videos where they talk about chop up babies like they were a used Buick. That he doesn't seem to have time for.

Passing the ca-napes with the motely crew that Obama has assembled seems to be fine. He won't refuse to meet with them. He won't cancel the dinner or demand that these people be dis-invited. I bet he will be all smiles and hugs with Governor Cuomo who is one of the top abortion warriors in the United States. Cuomo would be happy to hold a mother down while they rip the baby out with a pair of pliers to sell the parts on Ebay. He won't scorn him. He won'd admonish him. He certainly won't excommunicate him. That ain't gonna happen.

 I don't get it.

But who am I to judge.

Congratulations on how you have stopped beating your wife Mr. Trump

So this nudnick in a Town Hall meeting starts off his question with the not unreasonable premise that Obama is really a Muslim. Trump brushes him off and goes "Sure we will look into that" and goes on with the rest of the show. That sets off the pajama boys in media who say it is a terrible gaff and he should have jumped to defend Barack Saddam Hussien Obama from the base calumny that he is a Muslim. What's up with that?

It's not Trumps job to fight Obama's battles for him. Obama has done nothing but advance the cause of radical Islam as President. He constantly calls out America  for being Islamphobes. The latest bullshit story with the kid and the fake clock is just the latest example. From phony nooses hung in the professors office to made up rape accusations at Rolling Stone to "Hands Up Don't Shoot" these Social Justice Warriors just make stuff up and expect people to cower in fear and bow down to them.  Trump just laughs and moves on. That is the essence of his appeal. If some of the other Republicans can follow his lead they will be getting somewhere.

Carly with the Laughing Face is picking up on it. When she said that they shouldn't change the currency to "honor" women because they aren't a special interest group the usual suspects crapped their pants. She didn't back down. So far. It looks like she learned the lesson that Trump is putting out there. You don't have to kowtow to the media and the pundits and the pressure of the politically correct. From Gamergate to Sad Puppies to the "Blue Lives Matter" groups there are plenty of people who are sick and tired of this relentless game of gotcha by the media and the politically correct. Guess what? Those mutts will never vote for a Republican anyway. Screw them. Trump is showing the way. If a slick piece of work like Marco Ricky Ricardo can learn that lesson he will go far.

Let's see what happens.

Is Trump an Obama 2016?

From Instapundit....

THE DEBATE WE WERE SUPPOSED TO HAVE: At Ricochet, Jon Gabriel looks back of a summer of Trumpian silliness and wistfully writes, “The 2016 election was the grand battle conservatives had been hoping for since Ronald Reagan left the Oval Office. The roster of candidates was to be a who’s-who of smart, proven, center-right leadership:”

We aren’t discussing America’s $18.4 trillion national debt and our insolvent social programs. The stagnant economy and an expansionist China, Russia, and Islamic State. Burning cities at home and burning countries abroad.
Instead we’re trading GIFs of a reality show star on “The Tonight Show,” giggling about menstruation, and wondering if the most impressive GOP field in a generation are a bunch of “dummies” or if they’re a bunch of “losers.”
These are serious times. We are not a serious people.

Well, the American people chose a reality show candidate in 2008 — the comic book superhero “Lightworker,” who could be seen on comic book covers and in the form of plastic action figure replicas, when not appearing on professional wrestling TV shows asking, “Do you smell what Barack’s cooking,” and who modestly pledged that by merely besting Hillary Clinton to win the Democrat nomination, “this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal.”

Of course voters want more of the same in 2016.
