Barack Obama Just Got The Bad News That Ruined Him Once And For All
Share259


Barack Obama spent eight years tearing down American.

Donald Trump was elected to reverse the decline that Obama set in motion.

And Barack Obama just got the bad news that ruined him once and for all.

Donald Trump followed through on a signature campaign promise and tore up the disastrous Iranian nuclear deal.

Obama negotiated the deal as a “legacy” achievement for his second term.

But Obama did not have America’s best interests at heart when he agreed to a deal that funneled hundreds of millions of dollars to a government that sponsors terrorism and allowed them to one day acquire a nuclear weapon.

So Trump stood behind a podium at the White House and announced he was tearing up a deal he deemed “an embarrassment.”

The Iranian nuclear deal is another executive action taken by Obama that Trump wiped away.

President Trump also canceled Obama’s illegal executive amnesty DACA program and withdrew from the job-k*****g Paris g****l w*****g accords.

Americans elected Trump because they deemed Obama a failure.

Trump is honoring that trust placed in him by the American people when he rolls back Obama’s anti-American agenda.

He is no longer our President. What do y'all think of this?

"Samantha Vinograd is a CNN National Security Analyst. She served on President Obama's National Security Council from 2009-2013 and at the Treasury Department under President Bush. Follow her @sam_vinograd. The views expressed in this commentary are her own. This commentary has been updated to reflect the news."

(CNN)Every week, I offer a glimpse of the kind of intelligence assessments that are likely to come across the desk of the President of the United States. Modeled on the President's Daily Briefing, or PDB, which the director of national intelligence prepares for the President almost daily, my P**********l Weekly Briefing focuses on the topics and issues the President needs to know about to make informed decisions.
Here's this week's briefing:
Iran: Fire and fury expected
After your decision to withdraw from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (also known as the Iran deal), we are continuing to assess Iran's trigger points across several vectors, including when Iran will feel its best course of action is to restart its nuclear program. In the interim, the Iranian regime will pursue a strategy to solicit support at home and abroad, which will include:

Sam Vinograd
Sam Vinograd
Rallying around the f**g: Images of hardliners burning American f**gs predated your withdrawal from the JCPOA, but we will see the regime rally against the US f**g and around the Iranian one in the coming weeks. Selling the deal domestically in Iran wasn't easy, and the regime will try to focus attention on you -- rather than place blame on itself for signing a risky deal in the first place.
Iranian leaders will use harsh and insulting rhetoric against you (the Supreme Leader talked about snakes and insects feeding on your corpse), try to embarrass you, support more protests against the United States and attempt to scapegoat the United States for any economic malaise in the country.
This blame game is a domestic distraction from the government's inability to deliver on various economic promises, as well as a means of expressing its anger against being convinced to sign an agreement that you walked away from.
Any inflammatory rhetoric by the United States will only feed the regime's narrative about you and its desire to stoke antipathy toward the country as a whole.
On Iran, Trump becomes a prisoner of his own hyperbole
On Iran, Trump becomes a prisoner of his own hyperbole
Peeling off our friends: Like in some breakups, our friends aren't on our side. Our European allies lobbied you hard to stay in the deal. After you pulled out, Iran is going to amplify the message that in this break up, it did nothing wrong. In other words, Iran will play the victim card, particularly when Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif meets with European signatories in Brussels on Tuesday.
We will probably hear escalatory statements from Iran while Zarif is in Europe. The regime will want to send a clear message that the stakes are nuclear: if the Europeans are unsuccessful in getting sanctions waived, Iran will potentially restart its program because its economic incentive for signing the deal will be gone.
Promoting fire and fury: Iran will use your decision to stir up fire and fury against the United States and our interests in the region. Iran has proxy forces in countries including Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and Yemen, and Israel even said it was targeted by Iran from Syrian bases just last week. Israel pushed us to walk away from the deal (and has an ongoing standoff with Iran), so it may feel the brunt of an Iranian operational response to your decision. Pulling out of the deal can also be used as a way to inspire attacks against the United States and our allies because it feeds the narrative that the United States is evil and untrustworthy.
Israel on high alert: Celebrations alongside demonstrations
As we prepare for the opening of the new US Embassy in Jerusalem on Monday, we are continuously tracking several threats that could affect the situation on the ground. We should consider the threat level elevated on multiple fronts. Our enemies in the region may use the embassy opening as a pretense for action against the United States and our interests.
After tensions escalated between Israeli and Iranian forces in Syria last week (Israel said that Iranian forces sent rockets into Israel from Syria and Israel responded by striking more Iranian-linked targets in Syria), Israel claimed that it destroyed "nearly all" of Iran's military infrastructure in Syria. We supported Israel's right to act in self-defense, which could lead to retribution against us. Iran has proxies throughout the region, including Hezbollah in Lebanon and various m*****as in Iraq. So we may see other Iranian-backed forces in the region take action against Israel and against us if they're constrained in Syria.
Five myths about the US embassy move to Jerusalem
Five myths about the US embassy move to Jerusalem
Notably, Vladimir Putin did not condemn Israel's actions, potentially signaling tacit approval for the operation (Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with Putin the day before the Israeli operation). This could signal some kind of shift by Russia -- its redline against Iran could be direct attacks against Israel from within Syria.
Domestically, in Israel, we are also monitoring flashpoints. As we have briefed you before, the day after the embassy opening marks the annual observation of al-Nakba -- or as many Palestinians and others call it, the "catastrophe" that was the creation of the state of Israel and displacement of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians. We have seen clashes between Palestinians and Israeli security forces during past Nakba demonstrations, and this year some Palestinian leaders have already called for a day of rage on the day the embassy opens.
Meanwhile, violence on another one of its borders -- Gaza -- is ongoing. Israel closed a border crossing, citing damage caused by r**ts. The Israeli military also said that it destroyed a tunnel near the border that Hamas was building.
Also, protests broke out in other countries when you announced your decision to move the embassy, so we may see similar ones occur on Monday when the embassy actually opens.
North Korea: Red herrings get fishier over time
There is a lot of momentum going into your June 12 summit with Kim Jong Un, including the release of three US prisoners last week.
We assess that North Korea will continue to try to create a positive environment to ensure that you are comfortable coming to Singapore and meeting Kim in front of the cameras. He's counting on it. But, remember, he's also got his own bona fides to promote, and he's banked a lot on his nuclear credentials.
The terrifying step Trump better not take on North Korea
The terrifying step Trump better not take on North Korea
We're noticing a pattern of red herrings, however, and as you know, red herrings get fishier over time.
North Korea has told the International Commercial Aviation Organization (ICAO) that it won't make an unannounced missile test. The less missiles flying, the better, but this is as much a pragmatic decision as a diplomatic carrot. North Korea hosted the ICAO in Pyongyang because it wants to open up a new air route that would pass through its airspace. And if North Korea wants to focus on economic development, it needs companies and investors to feel safe flying to Pyongyang. The fear of unannounced missiles makes that dicey. Plus, the North Koreans have already said that they don't need to do more tests because they've achieved their goals. So they're announcing they're not going to do something they say they don't need to do anyway.
Similarly, we're hearing more about North Korea's plans to dismantle a nuclear test site, the Punggye-ri complex. Journalists from China, Russia, South Korea, the UK and United States will reportedly be invited to conduct "on-the-spot coverage in order to t***sparently show dismantlement with a 'ceremony' scheduled for as early as May 23."

On its surface, this could look like Kim taking steps to get rid of nuclear infrastructure -- a decision you called a "smart and gracious gesture." But again, red herring alert. Official North Korean statements have said that "under the proven condition of complete nuclear weapons, we no longer need any nuclear tests, mid-range and intercontinental ballistic rocket tests, and that the nuclear test site in northern area has also completed its mission." So they're getting rid of something that they don't need anyway.
And to make matters worse, there are reports that the nuclear testing site is damaged and largely unusable anyway, so dismantling it doesn't mean as much as dismantling a fully operational site. Let's also keep in mind that we've seen this "destruction" game before. North Koreans destroyed a nuclear cooling tower in 2008, and we all know how that turned out. Their program accelerated rather than slowed.
In short, dismantling this nuclear site isn't a concession; it's a celebration of what the North Koreans were able to do even in the face of an international pressure campaign.

Hillary Just Opened Her Mouth And Ruined Everything For Democrats In 2020


1



Democrats are known for keeping secrets.

Many of their strategies are so extreme that they can’t even talk about them publicly.

But Hillary Clinton just opened her mouth, revealing a major secret that will ruin everything for Democrats in 2020.

Many are speculating that 2020 will be the year for Democrats to beat back President Donald Trump.

But the same people predicting that are the same people who predicted that Trump wouldn’t win in the first place.

While 2020 is sure to be a contentious e******n, Republicans currently have the big advantage of having someone to rally behind.

The Democrats are largely divided between two wings, the more establishment Democrats, and the more “progressive” Democrats.

But as former Democratic P**********l nominee Hillary Clinton reveals, many in the Democrat Party hold wildly radical views.

In a recent interview, she contends that she likely lost the e******n because she is a capitalist.

Being asked to elaborate, Hillary made it clear that in her mind, 41 percent of Democrats are socialists, at least in Iowa, which is the first caucus state of the year.

This charge is extremely damaging to Democrats.

While many are trying to normalize socialism, most of the country has a very strongly held view opposed to it.

They have seen just how dangerous it can be, and while much of the youth, who haven’t seen socialism in action, may support it, the population as a whole doesn’t.

As reported by The Daily Caller:

“Former secretary of state Hillary Clinton said at an event on Wednesday that she thinks being a capitalist probably hurt her among the Democratic base.

At the Shared Value Leadership Summit, Clinton was asked if being a capitalist hurt her chances at winning the e******n, noting that she was specifically asked during a debate if she is a capitalist. She argued that she was “probably” hurt by being a capitalist because so many Democratic primary v**ers identify as socialists.

“Probably,” Clinton said with a smirk. “You know, it’s hard to know but if you’re in the Iowa caucuses and 41 percent of Democrats are socialist — or self-described socialists — and I’m asked ‘are you a capitalist?’ and I say, ‘yes but with appropriate regulation and appropriate accountability,’ that probably gets lost in the ‘Oh my gosh she’s a capitalist!”

It shouldn’t come as much of a surprise that socialism is well regarded in the Democrat Party.

If it weren’t for the Democratic National Committee rigging the e******n for Hillary, Bernie Sanders likely would have won the Democratic nomination.

Bernie openly identifies as a “Democratic Socialist,” which he contends is different from actual socialism somehow.

But his message resonated with millions of Democrats across the country.

And while much of the population believes that he would have won the 2016 e******n against Donald Trump, there is no way to be sure.

With the socialist label connected to his name, there’s no telling how he would do.

Do you think Bernie Sanders would have beaten Donald Trump in the 2016 e******n?

Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.

OOOPS!!!!! Hillary just spilled the Beans!!!! on her own Party!!!!!LOL!!! Now what are Y'all going to do Democrats? Better figure that out before it's too late!!!. What do y'all think of what Hillary did? LOL!!!!.The Democrats will be a Sinking Ship, if they can't put Hillary in check.2020 is right around the corner!!!!.

Congress May Consider Proposal to Close Military Bases

The Virginian-Pilot 11 May 2018 By Bill Bartel

NORFOLK -- After years of resisting, Congress may consider a proposal to allow military base closings -- but under restrictive rules that give communities veto power, U.S. Rep. Rob Wittman said Thursday.

Wittman, a Westmoreland County Republican and senior member of the House Armed Services Committee, said during a Navy League luncheon at The Main hotel that he would support a proposal that addresses the military's concern that it's wasting money by keeping unneeded facilities.

Hampton Roads federal lawmakers and community leaders have been skittish for years about any talk of closing military facilities -- particularly in a region where 40 percent of the economy is tied to defense and other federal spending. In 2005, a Base Realignment and Closure Commission or BRAC -- appointed to select facilities to shut down -- led to the closing of the Army's Fort Monroe and consideration of a recommendation to close Oceana Naval Air Station in Virginia Beach.

Wittman said the plan, which could be an amendment to the 2019 defense spending bill, would be limited to small bases or "tangential facilities" identified by the Pentagon.

"They would have to say that it's excess inventory and we don't need it," Wittman said. "And the localities would have to say that it's OK to do that.

"I'd be very amenable to that. It brings everybody to the table to discuss excess capacity," added Wittman, who is chairman of the committee's Seapower and Force Projection Subcommittee.

"My concern is this: I do think we need to shed ourselves of facilities and do it the right way. Remember, if we get rid of facilities in strategically centered locations -- that is, population centers -- you will never ever get them back."

Craig Quigley, executive director of the Hampton Roads Military and Federal Facilities Alliance, said the new approach shouldn't be a threat.

The alliance was created and is supported financially by local governments and businesses in the wake of the 2005 BRAC.

"Conceptually, it's hard to argue with that idea of the military and host community both thinking a facility should close," Quigley said. "From a Hampton Roads perspective, I'm hard pressed to think of an example of this.

WHAT? Congress better back off. We need our Bases to protect our country and it's people and in case other countries need us to back them. Congress is over stepping their bounds and they need to be put in check and stopped. What do y'all think? I think Congress needs to back off.

US Deactivates Ground HQ in Iraq as ISIS Fight Winds Down

Military.com 11 May 2018 By Richard Sisk

The U.S. marked a major milestone in the campaign against ISIS by folding the f**g on the headquarters of the coalition's ground component in Iraq in a brief ceremony Monday in Baghdad.

Army Maj. Gen. Walter Piatt, commander of Combined Joint Forces Land Component Command (CJFLCC) and the 10th Mountain Division, and his senior enlisted adviser, Command Sgt. Maj. Samuel Roark, presided at the deactivation ceremony for CJFLCC.

"Casing the CJFLCC colors is a symbolic gesture, honoring the perseverance and sacrifice of our coalition partners," Piatt said in a statement.

"Thanks to our partnered success, we are able to continue to support the government of Iraq under the command of CJTF-OIR [Combined Joint Task Force-Operation Inherent Resolve]," added Piatt, who has led the land component since March.

Since 2014, when ISIS fighters were at the gates of Baghdad, CJFLCC has supplied the coalition ground forces who partnered on the battlefield with the Iraqi Security Forces and the Kurdish Peshmerga in retaking Ramadi, Fallujah, Mosul and other major cities and reducing ISIS to pockets of resistance.

The 10th Mountain troops of CJFLCC will now focus through CJTF-OIR on training and advising the ISF in the buildup of its capabilities to maintain security, with emphasis on the Iraq-Syria border region.

A coalition statement said the mission was shifting "from supporting and enabling combat operations to the training and development of self-sufficient Iraqi security-related capabilities."

The closing of the CJFLCC headquarters signaled the end of major combat operations ahead of next month's scheduled parliamentary e******ns in Iraq.

Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi declared victory over ISIS in Iraq in December after clearing operations against ISIS in Anbar province near the Syrian border, but ISIS has maintained the ability to launch terror attacks.

In February, Iraqi government spokesman Saad al-Hadithi said that "the battle against Daesh [ISIS] has ended so the level of the American presence will be reduced."

But it was unclear whether the deactivation of the land component would immediately lead to withdrawals of elements of the estimated 5,000 U.S. troops in Iraq.

At the Pentagon Monday, Defense Secretary Jim Mattis would only say that the remaining coalition force in Iraq would be "fit for its current mission."

However, U.S. air forces in recent weeks have begun shifting out of Iraq to bolster the air campaign in Afghanistan.

In a briefing to the Pentagon last week from Baghdad, Army Col. Ryan Dillon, the CJTF-OIR spokesman, said of Iraq that "while hard work remains after the defeat of ISIS' tyrannical self-proclaimed caliph**e, there are encouraging signs that life is returning to normal."

"In the past month, various groups across Iraq and Syria, including Assyrians, Yazidis and Kurds, celebrated Nowruz [the Persian new year] for the first time in years, free from ISIS," Dillon said.

"We will continue to conduct operations that limit ISIS freedom of maneuver and also constrain their ability to generate forces and degrade their command and control nodes until the terrorist organization is defeated," continued Dillon, who himself was leaving CJTF-OIR to take a position with U.S. Africa Command.

An evolving U.S. mission in Iraq may send some 10th Mountain Division soldiers home early, but nine-month brigade rotations will continue as long as Iraqi forces work to cleanse their war-torn country of Islamic State terrorists, according to the former commander of land forces in Iraq.

The recent defeat of ISIS fighters occupying Iraq prompted the Combined Joint Forces Land Component Command (CJFLCC) headquarters to deactivate at the end of April.

The 10th Mountain's 3rd Brigade Combat Team is wrapping up its nine-month rotation and will soon return home to Fort Polk, Louisiana as scheduled. But portions of the recently arrived 10th Mountain Division headquarters battalion may be sent home early, before the end of its nine-month deployment, Maj. Gen. Walter Piatt, former CJFLCC commander, told Military.com.

The former CJFLCC has merged into Combined Joint Task Force-Operation Inherent Resolve, so some soldiers in the battalion HQ may no longer be needed, he said.

"What this merge means is we do change our identity. We are not wearing the 10th Mountain patch ... we become part of the CJTF," Piatt said. "And some of those forces that we have over here, their positions will no longer be needed and, when their positions are no longer needed, they will begin to go home. We are here to achieve the mission, not to be here for a certain amount of time."

This story was first reported by Army Times.

The next phase of the mission, known as Reliable Partnership, means U.S. and coalition forces will be "partnered [with] the Iraqi Security Forces at the strategic and operational level to make sure that they have the institutional structures in place to sustain the security they have fought so hard to achieve," Piatt said.

The ISF has greatly evolved under the recent test of extended combat with ISIS, he said.

"ISIS threatened to overrun this nation, and they were literally 40 kilometers or less from the capital, Baghdad," Piatt said. "It was the Iraqis themselves that mobilized, that fought back against this threat. Yes, with lots of help from the coalition. And they fought this enemy all the way back, liberated their cities, city after city, all the way up the Tigris River until the big fight in Mosul."

It was the Iraqi forces themselves that took back Mosul, street by street, he added.

"Nothing builds a professional military like a victory of that magnitude," Piatt said. "And it came at a cost, probably over 1,700 Iraqi Security Forces lost their lives just in Mosul."

Iraqi forces are now scouring the country in search of small pockets of ISIS fighters in hiding, which means that U.S. and coalition forces will take on a broader support role, he said.

The Iraqi Army doesn't "need coalition forces to accompany them and to fight alongside them; they are good at that. What they need is help with sustainment, planning operations, things that you would see at the operational and strategic level," Piatt said.

This means that the 3rd Cavalry Regiment stationed at Fort Hood will deploy to Iraq as scheduled to replace the 10th Mountain's 3rd BCT, he said.

Piatt said he could not speculate on how long Iraqi forces will need coalition support. For now, "I think deployments will stay scheduled," he said.

"What we have to understand is ISIS is not totally destroyed and the conditions that allowed ISIS to grow could still exist here," he continued. "So it's still not over because it's a critical phase of the operation. If you don't secure the peace, you could find yourself back at war."

I thought we were finished in that Hell Hole. Now what do y'all think of this bloodshed? Should we all bring our troops home for keeps, and end this Iraq and Afghanistan suicide forever and ever.?

Yeah!!!! i know what you mean!!!!

$46,654: Annual Cost of Detaining I*****l A***n Exceeds Average American Income
By Terence P. Jeffrey | April 29, 2018 | 12:31 PM EDT
(Photo/Immigration and Customs Enforcement)

(CNSNews.com) - The federal government paid a “bed rate” of $127.82 per day to house each i*****l a***n detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement in fiscal 2016, according to ICE data published in a new report by the Government Accountability Office.

Even if you do not count the extra day in that leap year, that works out to $46,654.30 for each detention bed occupied by an i*****l a***n for 365 days.

The approximately $46,654 it cost to house a detained i*****l a***n for 365 days in fiscal 2016 was approximately $104 more than the average income for Americans 15 and older that year—which, according to Census Bureau Table PINC-01, was $46,550.

The GAO report—“Immigration Detention: Opportunities Exist to Improve Cost Estimates”—examined how ICE calculates its anticipated budgetary needs for detaining i*****l a***ns. It discovered, for example, that ICE had made some basic mathematical errors in preparing its budget justifications for Congress, including a $34.7 million multiplication error in its fiscal 2014 request and a $129 million multiplication error in its fiscal 2015 request.

ICE also made a $4,000 multiplication error in calculating its fiscal 2018 budget justification, the report said.

“To determine its immigration detention costs, ICE primarily relies on two variables—the average dollar amount required to house one adult detainee for one day (bed rate) and the average daily population (ADP) of detainees,” said the GAO report.

“In order to determine the amount necessary to operate the detention system for adult detainees, ICE multiplies the projected ADP by the projected bed rate by the number of days in the year,” said GAO.

However, GAO discovered, ICE had difficulty successfully executing this multiplication problem in fiscal 2014, 2015 and 2018.

“During our review of ICE’s fiscal year 2014 and fiscal year 2015 budget requests, we calculated the total amounts requested for ICE’s immigration detention costs using its formula (see fig. 3) and the ADP and bed rate figures provided in the budget request and compared it with ICE’s requested amount,” said he report. “Based on our calculations, the amounts ICE requested are not consistent (by a difference of $34.7 million for fiscal year 2014 and $129 million for fiscal year 2015) with the figures used to develop their estimate.18 ICE officials acknowledged the error.”

“The fiscal year 2018 request also contains a multiplication error that resulted in ICE requesting less funds—$4,000—than using the correct calculation,” said the report.

In Table 4, the report shows what ICE calculated the “bed rate” to be $127.82 for fiscal 2016 (based on the actual data for the first three quarters of that year). That made the cost for detaining an i*****l a***n for 365 days in that year $46,654.30.

According to Table 4, ICE also estimated that the “bed rate” would be $132.59 for fiscal 2017 and $133.99 for fiscal 2018.

Assuming that the $133.99 “bed rate” for fiscal 2018 is accurate, that means it will cost the federal government $48,906.35 to detain an i*****l a***n for 365 days this year.
