[FOX] President Obama was one of a select handful of individuals who had "direct contact" with Hillary Clinton on her private email account, Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz indicated in his bombshell report Thursday on the Clinton email probe.
In a footnote, the DOJ watchdog notes that "FBI analysts and Prosecutor 2 told us that former President Barack Obama was one of the 13 individuals with whom Clinton had direct contact using her clintonemail.com account."
The IG report adds that Obama used a pseudonym for his username and that, after intelligence analysts questioned whether Obama's communications contained classified information, it was determined the emails sent and received were not classified.
She worked for Obama as his Secretary of State and never (or very seldom) used the approved, gov't and State Department system. How else could they have communicated ?

As Dan Bongino said tonight on Tucker, "do you think Obama got robo calls from solicitors on his cell phone or computer?"
The White House Communications office had to authorize or white list Clinton's (homebrew) access to Obama's phone and computer.
[Daily Caller] "That’s a subject that’s near and dear to me," Wray said at an FBI press conference. "I will tell you the opinions that I care the most about are the opinions of the people who actually really know us, and know us through our work."
"To me, it’s the work that matters. I look at things like that," Wray continued. "I look at what people think when they know us and I look at what people think when they express their views through their actions."
Wray heavily emphasized the brand world-wide, saying that "our brand is just fine there," even while the president has gone after the FBI’s reputation at home.

He says there is no bias in the FBI. Then his answer to a huge problem is to provide bias training to FBI agents across the country. WTF? The house is on fire and his answer is to piss on the flames.
[Townhall] House Oversight Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy released a scathing statement Thursday afternoon ahead of Inspector General Michael Horowitz's report about FBI misconduct during the 2016 presidential election.
Here is the statement in full, which details finding in the report (bolding is mine):
I am alarmed, angered, and deeply disappointed by the Inspector General’s finding of numerous failures by DOJ and FBI in investigating potential Espionage Act violations by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
This report confirms investigative decisions made by the FBI during the pendency of this investigation were unprecedented and deviated from traditional investigative procedures in favor of a much more permissive and voluntary approach. This is not the way normal investigations are run.
The investigation was mishandled. The investigatory conclusions were reached before the end of the witness interviews. The July 5th press conference marked a serious violation of policy and process. And the letters to Congress in the fall of 2016 were both delayed in substance and unnecessary in form.
[PJ] Former FBI Director James Comey defended his FBI's police-state actions against the Trump campaign this morning, after President Trump leveled fresh attacks against the "criminal deep state" in a series of tweets, accusing it of perpetrating a "major SPY scandal the likes of which this country may never have seen before!"
This was all too much for the haughty Comey, who felt the need to excuse the bureau's outrageous political espionage by using a nice-sounding euphemism for "spy."
"Facts matter," the former G-man wrote sanctimoniously. "The FBI’s use of Confidential Human Sources (the actual term) is tightly regulated and essential to protecting the country. Attacks on the FBI and lying about its work will do lasting damage to our country. How will Republicans explain this to their grandchildren?"

Obama's government and the DOJ under Lynch and Holder, and the FBI under Comey have done more harm to this country than the Russians would ever hope to. Perhaps, and in a different way, they may have done as much damage as 911.
[Townhall] MSNBC host Chris Matthews likened Republican support for President Trump to North Koreans who are essentially forced to worship dictator Kim Jong Un.
Political commentator George Will was discussing Republican support for the president, which he said is higher than President Ronald Reagan's support among the GOP at the same point in his presidency.
"Today about 85 percent of Republicans have very strong approval of Donald Trump. That's above the 75 percent that had the same feeling for Ronald Reagan at this point in his presidency," Will said. "This is a Trump party now."
"Therefore say no evil about the president," Matthews said. "They're beginning to act like North Koreans dare I say. Because they’re marching in step. They’re smiling when told to, they're applauding when told to. They’re not wearing those big hats, but short of that they’re acting like North Koreans, Republicans."
As a reminder, North Koreans not only worship current dictator Kim Jong Un but have worshipped the entire Kim family for decades. Failure to show adequate respect for the dictatorship can result in punishment. The State Department has explained to visitors in the past that it's "a criminal act in North Korea to show disrespect to the country's current and former leaders, Kim Jong-Il and Kim Il-Sung." Portraits of the country's leaders are also ubiquitous, with homes required to display them prominently. And the list goes on.
So, sure, Chris, GOP support of Trump is just like that.

And Democrats who supported Obama are just like the Iranian Mullahs who chant death to America and hang homosexuals in the public square. Now Chris it is your turn to say something stupid.
[The Guardian] In arguing for a sunset clause to the Nafta trade agreement, this odious man is exposing the corruption of liberal democracy. e gets almost everything wrong. But last weekend Donald Trump got something right. To the horror of the other leaders of the rich world, he defended democracy against its detractors. Perhaps predictably, he has been universally condemned for it.

Yeah, I've been saying this for a long time. Elites despise us and don't want to share power with us. Democracy is just a word to them, a cudgel to bash others with. When it comes time to act in the people's interest, they act in their own interest and claim it's identical to the people's.

Why does the EU have more than one member in any organization?
“The Group of Seven is a group consisting of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States. These countries, with the seven largest advanced economies in the world, represent more than 62% of the global net wealth. The G7 countries also represent more than 46% of the global gross domestic product based on nominal values, and more than 32% of the global GDP based on purchasing power parity. The European Union is also represented at the G7 summit.“
[Townhall] No good deed goes unpunished. Jeff Sessions wants to restore to America the "sound principles of asylum" and long-standing tenets of immigration law, abandoned by American leaders over the decades.
That makes the attorney general a Hitler, to use liberal argumentation. Condemned for all eternity.
As the left sees it, if America isn’t going to police the world; it must at least provide shelter to all people from unpoliced parts of the world.
That’s the left’s reason du jour for opposing the restoration of American immigration sovereignty.
And now, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) is piling on.
By narrowing promiscuously broad asylum criteria‐the system is being gamed, attests Andrew Arthur, a former immigration judge‐Sessions stands accused of flouting the "right to life" of the women of the world.
No matter that America has its own share of abused women "persecuted by their husbands and ignored by their own governments." The last, parenthetic remarks were uttered by immigration lawyers, who mask greed with prattle about values.
This legal club is looking out exclusively for the women of the world, not the women of America. To them, we are the world.

I remember years ago when first confronted with the open borders mindset, I thought based on that rationale it was a perfect set up for a lawyer. He would simply launch a class action against the USA, of course, on behalf of all the people who had remained in their native land. Obviously they were intimidated, depressed, and perhaps too psychologically enervated to make the trip and we were denying them benefits.
It would be better than a government job for a socialist, lifelong gravy train of circular word games in court with the added ability to pass the hat to fellow travelers. Seems like my once ironic idea is actually coming around.

Fine, we can police the world. You definitely won't like it, but we can do it. Oh look, you chanted "Death to America" *FOOOM* OOps, you no longer exist. Who would like us to police them next? Oh? You demand we treat your invading citizens with 'dignity'? *FOOM* Now we'll deport them back to their radioactive waste of a homeland. Or if you prefer, use them to stock the organ banks.
I'm done with America being the world's punching bag. Time to pay the piper or get turned into smoking wasteland. We don't even need nukes. Conventional interdiction strikes on every power plant, water treatment plant, hospital, bridge, major road intersection and dam will ensure that you spent the next 10-30 years attempting to get out of the stone age. And we'll use your navy for target practice.
[FOX] The Berkeley City Council on Tuesday night declared what it called a "climate emergency" with more global significance than World War II, and demanded an immediate effort to "humanely stabilize population" and "reverse ecological overshoot."
The resolution, which invokes the global conflict between the Axis and Allies, charges that Americans bear an "extraordinary responsibility to solve the crises" facing the environment.
"[D]uring World War II, the Bay Area came together across race, age, class, gender and other differences in an extraordinary regional mobilization, building and repairing Liberty ships, converting car assembly plants into tank manufacturing facilities," the resolution reads.
A similar effort is necessary today to confront an even greater threat, according to the document.
"[W]e can rise to the challenge of the greatest crisis in history by organizing politically to catalyze a national and global climate emergency effort, employing local workers in a mobilization effort building and installing renewable energy infrastructure," the resolution says.

Seems to me that killing off all these idiots would be a great start to stabilizing the population and it would be humane to the rest of us not to hear their idiocy anymore.
