Obama Signs $1.1 Trillion Spending Bill Into Law
2014-12-18
[Ynet] With little fanfare to mark a rare bipartisan achievement, President Barack Obama on Tuesday signed a massive, $1.1 trillion spending bill that keeps the federal government operating over the next nine months.

The legislation was a compromise that angered liberals and conservatives alike but avoided a government shutdown and put off partisan clashes over immigration to next year.

It was one of the last acts of Congress under the current Republican House and Democratic-controlled Senate. In January, the new Congress will return with Republicans in charge of both chambers.

* RUSSIA TODAY > OBAMA SIGNS RUSSIA SANCTIONS BILL, BUT WON'T USE IT FOR NOW.

* RELATED WAFF > [Daily Sabah] OBAMA SIGNS RUSSIA SANCTIONS BILL WIDOUT IMPOSING NEW PENALTIES.

Again, a collapsed or heavily destablized Russia only benefits the Hard Boyz + Global Jihad = desired OWG/Global Caliphate.

Besides keeping Iran's [Middle East Muslim NUkes-WMDS] + Pakistan's Nukes away for Radical Islam, the US now has Russia's, China's, + India's arsenals to worry about.

In addition to ...

* DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > VIDEO: MEXICO'S MUSLIMS.

Islam slowly but surely gaining more converts in Mexico + South American countries vee traditional Catholicism or even Protestantism.

* SOUTH CHINA MORNING POST > MALAY MUSLIMS FLEE COUNTRY AS FUNDAMENTALISM [+ Malay Govt-led Authoritarianism = anti-Islamist Counter-response?] TAKES HOLD.

#2  That he signed it, with no fanfare or comment, knowing it contained the single exception to full annual funding being DHS and the obvious intent to fight his Amnesty actions in the new Congress, tells you all you need to know about what is actually important to Champ. He wants the fight, sees it both as a political advantage to the democrat party, although that is only of marginal real concern to him, but it allows him to sustain the thing that is important to him, being at the center of the national discussion of a topic that is hugely devisive by design. It is abundantly clear that this man hates white America, hates the basic tenants of the Republic, is determined to import a brown populace, in thrall to government and income redistribution, and politically to build a permanent one party rule in America based on racial animus and confiscatory policies to end "white privilege". In his only hones statement of personal philosophy, he told us he was going to be a transformational President. That it was an utterly destructive transformational plan was dimly seen by a few on the right, but for the masses of voters transfixed by "feeling good" in the election of a black man with little honestly defined pedigree, it wasn't obvious what a suicide pact that they were joining. The whirlwind is arriving, and more and more is coming, both before and after he leaves office.
What he actually wants is the adoration, the money, and the centrality his words and actions bring. The fundraisers were and are as much about the stroking of a badly flawed ego and the basking in the attention as they were about the platitudes he mouthed on the teleprompter.

#1  With little fanfare....

A quiet celebration of failure? Something only a government could do, prior to taking a lengthy, paid holiday vacation.
