Open: Obama Town Hall On Guns Thread

Screen Shot 2016-01-07 at 5.48.15 PM

We’ll cover it, if we can stand the manufactured tears, the staged audience and the ridiculous posturing of Obama. We will sticky it on the top, new posts will continue below this post. My critique is in [ ].

—-
Fr. Pleger: [incredible virulent leftist from Chicago] bla bla bla bla [think Charlie Brown adult sound]
Obama: [prepare for the question] [mocks concern about Jade Helm]

Talking about Obama crying the other day and replaying clip.
Obama: Newtown was one of the worst days of my presidency[because it’s always all about you] I’ve spent more time on terrorism than on this. Crime rate has gone down, it’s not just because of my administration. We can’t solve every crime but we can make progress [but there ARE background checks, he still can’t answer how if these actions wouldn’t have stopped these mass shootings, how is that ‘progress’]

Sheriff: You say you often get frustrated but you don’t have the right to make laws. And none of these actions would have stopped any of these situations. So what can be done to stop terrorists, mental illness and criminals -those are the real problem.
Obama: Crime is always going to be with us [but if what you do doesn’t stop the problem you aren’t doing anything] Right around time as Newton, guy stabbed bunch of kids in China most survived. [without ears and fingers

Obama: if person goes to Indiana to gun show where doesn’t have to do background check [lies], then it gets sold in Chicago. There’s going to be a case by case evaluation [are you kidding me?]

Wow, rape victim who was victimized who wanted gun to protect herself now questioning him.
Obama: nothing we are doing makes it harder for you to purchase a firearm, if you need on. There are always questions about whether having a gun in the home keeps you safer. What is true is that you have to be pretty well trained to defend yourself with a gun. And there’s always the possibility that it leads to a tragic accident. [it sounds like he didn’t anticipate these questions, he’s stuttering his brains out]. Anybody can go on the internet and get a gun.

[Obama is having difficulty responding after his prepared statement(no teleprompter)]

Taya Kyle: The laws you propose do not solve these shootings. Yes, I have that hope too, the people breaking the law aren’t going to stop. Why can’t we give people hope in a different way? Federal prosecution of gun crimes is 40% so there’s a problem there. Also there’s an all time low for murders, all time high for gun ownership. I want the hope that I can protect myself. So I think this what you are saying can be a false sense of hope.

Obama: Thank your husband for his service and thank you for your service. Violent crime has been steadily declining. Overall most cities are much safer. I challenge that it’s because of gun ownership [factually challenged once again]. You will be able to purchase a firearm.

Obama: Chicago has strong gun control laws. So people say those laws don’t work. But guns are coming from across the border in Indiana. [so why isn’t there more crime in Indiana than in Chicago?] {talks about the imaginary gun show loophole]. Definition of doing biz if you are making a profit and repeatedly selling you should have to do background checks. [they already do]. We need Congress to set up a system to make sure we are doing the best background check possible [you aren’t doing a good job with the law as you have it now] NRA used to support background checks. [we have background checks] There’s a reason the NRA wouldn’t come [he’s still doing it, he can’t have any kind of a civil discussion, NRA was damned either way, if they came they would have been in middle of a manipulated stacked audience]. The idea that this is a plot contradicts everything we do to benefit people in every other part of life. I’m happy to talk to NRA but the conversation has to be based on facts and truth. [he’s essentially saying now NRA is saying ‘Obama wants to take your guns’ to bump up sales]

Cooper: Lot of people don’t trust you. What can you say to people to convince them you’re not coming for their guns.
Obama: gun sales have gone up, I’ve been very good for gun manufacturers. I’m proud of my city, Chicago, but every week there’s a story from there because of gun violence. People occupy different realities [you can say that again!]. Some have grown up hunting with dad, others where it’s cheaper to get a gun than a book.

Obama says he does skeet shooting at Camp David. Said he never felt a need to get a gun in Hawaii.

NRA declined to take part. Don’t blame them. ‘The White House didn’t dream this up’. Uh, yeah, sure.


Parent of Aurora victim asked what do you respond when you hear that none of these executive orders would actually do anything to have stopped that shooting or other mass shootings.

So his response is so ‘what is your answer’? My answer Mr. Teves, is that why would you enact things that are not solutions?

He also responded ‘something must be done’ and talked about his son. But if doing something would not have resolved it, it’s just action for the sake of action. It’s all about emotions not facts.

Hillary Will Be Indicted, Says Former U.S. Attorney

Hillary hey

She’s got the prison orange all ready…

Via Daily Caller:

A former U.S. Attorney predicts a Watergate-style showdown in the Department of Justice if Attorney General Loretta Lynch overrules a potential FBI recommendation to indict Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

“The [FBI] has so much information about criminal conduct by her and her staff that there is no way that they walk away from this,” Joseph diGenova, formerly the District of Columbia’s U.S. Attorney, told Laura Ingraham in a Tuesday radio interview. “They are going to make a recommendation that people be charged and then Loretta Lynch is going to have the decision of a lifetime.

“I believe that the evidence that the FBI is compiling will be so compelling that, unless [Lynch] agrees to the charges, there will be a massive revolt inside the FBI, which she will not be able to survive as an attorney general. It will be like Watergate. It will be unbelievable.”

Bergdahl’s Favorite Thing To Wear In Captivity? His Burka…

burka-cart1

Can you pick out which one is Bergdahl?

Via NY Post:

One of Bowe Bergdahl’s most prized possessions during his five-year captivity with the Taliban — was a dress.

“When they moved me around, they’d put a girl’s dress over me and then a burka over me and then because anything I touched because I’m an infidel – everything I touch is dirty,” Bergdahl explained on the fourth episode of the popular podcast “Serial” Thursday.

“So thankfully they left the dress and the burka in the room so I was able to use that as warmth.”

The episode, called “The Captors,” dove into the background of the Hakkani terror group based in Pakistan that held Bergdahl, who is accused of deserting his army post back in 2009.

Benghazi Victim’s Father Issues Challenge To Hillary To Take Lie Detector Test

Hillary lied to the families about the Benghazi attack being about a video. Then she lied about what she said to them, claiming she never told them it was about a video. All the families who have commented publicly (that’s 4 different family members from three of the four families) have had their members say she said it was due to the video, including Charles Woods, the father of Ty Woods.

What reason would the families have to lie? Why then do they all remember she said the same thing and have said the same thing consistently since that time? Charles Woods, who is a judge, even took contemporaneous notes of what Hillary told him. Hillary’s story, meanwhile has changed more than the weather.

It is Charles Woods who is now challenging Hillary to take a lie detector test with him. I’m guessing Charles, whose story has been consistent from the beginning, will pass with flying colors.

Chances Hillary when will accept the challenge? Between now and the 12th of never…

Sanders And Wife Steered Campaign And Non-Profit Money To Family And Friends…

Screen Shot 2016-01-07 at 6.47.14 PM

Sounds like Hillary…

Via Free Beacon:

Bernie Sanders and his wife have on numerous occasions steered money from organizations under their control to friends and family members, public records show.

The payments benefitted the wife of the Democratic presidential candidate, his stepdaughter, and the son of a former colleague in city government whom Sanders has described as a close friend.

Sanders, a self-described socialist, is now running for the presidency on an anti-corruption platform, decrying public officials’ attempts to use their positions for personal financial gain.

Following 16 years as a member of the House, Sanders was elected to the Senate in 2006. His political campaigns were an early vehicle for payments to his family members.

According to Jane O’Meara Sanders, the senator’s wife, Sanders’ House campaigns paid her more than $90,000 for consulting and ad placement services from 2002 to 2004. She pocketed about $30,000 of that money.

Her daughter Carina Driscoll, Sanders’ stepdaughter, also drew a salary from the campaign. She was paid more than $65,000 between 2000 and 2004, according to her mother.

After working for the campaign, the senator’s wife would come under scrutiny for expenditures at Burlington College, where she was hired as president in 2004. While she led the school,it paid six-figure sums to her daughter and the son of a family friend.

Venezuelan President Appoints Hardline Socialist To ‘Fix Economy’ Because It’s ‘Too Capitlaist’

Screen Shot 2016-01-07 at 6.31.11 PM

Is there a level of society below implosion? Because they just may be heading there…

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — President Nicolas Maduro is doubling down on his existing economic policies with the appointment of a young leftist hardliner to head the country’s cratering economy, setting the stage for confrontation between the ruling socialist party and the newly powerful opposition.

Luis Salas, the new 39-year-old vice president for the economy, has scant administrative experience, but champions the same theories of price and currency controls that have defined Venezuela’s leftist economic policy for 17 years.

Like Maduro, Salas says the country is suffering from the world’s worst recession and triple-digit inflation because business interests are colluding with the U.S. to sabotage the economy.

He even goes further than Maduro in arguing that many of the country’s problems are the result of being too capitalist.

WaPo: Newsweek Writers Attack On Ted Cruz As A Nazi Was Wrong But Doesn’t Prove Media Bias…

Screen Shot 2016-01-07 at 4.13.18 PM

Wrong…

Via WaPo:

Let’s say right off the bat that this was a dumb idea. Newsweek senior writer Alex Nazaryan on Wednesday tweeted that “Ted Cruz has a strong ground game in Iowa” and attached a Nazi-era photo of people carrying swastika-emblazoned flags.

The tweet was over-the-line offensive, and the apology — directed toward Cruz supporters but not the Republican presidential candidate himself — wasn’t much better.

Martin O’Malley: Ted Cruz Is More Outrageous And Unqualified Than Donald Trump…

Sen. Ted Cruz speaks in Des Moines

Politician who is at single digit ratings in polls attacks politician in two digits leading in multiple states.

Via NBC:

The three Democratic presidential candidates made their case here Wednesday night in an early state that may prove critical in securing the nomination. Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders and Martin O’Malley delivered speeches at the “Battle Born Battleground” caucus dinner, hosted by the Nevada Democratic Party and Sen. Harry Reid.

In some of the strongest statements of the night, O’Malley, who spoke second, dedicated a significant portion of his speech to knocking Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. “I’d like to say that Donald Trump is the most outrageous and unqualified person ever to run for president. But really, that’s not fair to Ted Cruz,” said the former governor of Maryland, who is currently struggling with single digits in polls.

GOP Congressman Steven Palazzo Introduces Resolution To Censure Obama Over Gun Control Orders, RINOs Duck For Cover….

90-2

Via Politico:

Rep. Steven Palazzo (R-Miss.) introduced a resolution Thursday to censure Barack Obama for his executive order on guns.

It’s the most direct action that a congressional Republican has taken against Obama after he rolled out a series of executive actions this week in an effort to close loopholes related to gun purchases and background checks.

Though Republicans are blasting Obama’s directive as a case of blatant executive overreach, Palazzo’s move is unlikely to gain much traction, given the rarity of censuring a president. A number of lawmakers introduced censures against Bill Clinton over the Monica Lewinsky scandal, and President Andrew Jackson was formally censured in 1834 by the Senate.

The announcement of a deal following months of negotiations formally ended litigation over accusations that the nation’s largest police department cast a shadow over Muslim communities with a covert campaign of religious profiling and illegal spying.

Sit Down And Prepare To Not Be Shocked: Planned Parenthood Has Endorsed Hillary Clinton…

Hillary-Planned-Parenthood-998x700

Mind. Blown.

Via NYT:

Planned Parenthood, which has become an ideological minefield in the 2016 presidential election, said Thursday that it would endorse Hillary Clinton — its first endorsement in a presidential primary in the nonprofit’s 100-year existence.

Mrs. Clinton will officially accept the group’s support Sunday at a campaign rally in Manchester, N.H. The decision to break with tradition and endorse Mrs. Clinton comes as the House has approved a measure, endorsed by the leading Republican presidential candidates, that would repeal parts of the Affordable Care Act and strip away federal financing for Planned Parenthood, which provides reproductive and health care services.

“Everything Planned Parenthood has believed in and fought for over the past 100 years is on the ballot,” said Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood.

In a statement, Mrs. Clinton said she was “honored” by the endorsement and called the bill to defund the group “a jarring reminder of what’s at stake in 2016,” adding that as president she would “defend against attacks on reproductive health care, and protect access to affordable contraception and safe and legal abortion across the country.”

German Minister: Critics Of Cologne Mass Rape By Muslim Immigrants “At Least As Awful” As The Rapists Themselves…

Cologne-2-640x480

I’m quite sure the women who were attacked beg to differ.

Via Breitbart:

The interior minister for the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia, within which Cologne is situated, has said people of a right wing persuasion discussing the mass sexual assaults on New Years Eve online are equally “awful” as the attackers and rapists.

“What happens on the right-wing platforms and in chat rooms is at least as awful as the acts of those assaulting the women,” Ralf Jaeger, a member of the left wing Social Democratic Party of Germany, told reporters this morning.

“This is poisoning the climate of our society”, he added, after equating anti-immigration rhetoric with sexual assault.

Breitbart London — a “right wing platform” — first brought news of the attacks to the English speaking world, sparking a global tide of outrage in the process.

Over 90 women were attacked in Colonel on New Years Eve, with multiple victims describing the 500 to a 1000 perpetrators as “Arab and North African”.

Many of the men did not speak German or English, leading to speculation that they are from the more that a million migrants who have entered Germany this year.

New Video Surfaces Of Afghan Woman Being Barbarically Lynched After She’s Falsely Accused Of Burning The Koran…

WARNING: VID IS GRAPHIC.

Via CNS News:

As the police stood by and watched, a 27-year-old Muslim woman was brutally murdered by a mob in Kabul, Afghanistan after she was falsely accused of burning a Quran by an Islamic cleric.

The young Muslim woman, Farkhunda Malikzada, was viciously beaten, stoned, deliberately run over by a car, thrown into a dry river bed, crushed with larger stones, and then set on fire.

…Although the murder of Farkhunda occurred in March 2015, the New York Times in recent months was able to collect cell-phone videos and pictures of the lynching from sources in Afghanistan and online, and compiled a lengthy video of the horrific crime, which it published at nytimes.com on Dec. 26, 2015.
