[INDEPENDENT.CO.UK] Barack Obama Jedi mind meld... has said the US and UK will have to do everything they can to make sure strong trade links do not start "unravelling" as a result of Brexit.
In a blow to Brexiteers' hopes of a quick trade deal with the US, he stood by his comment that the UK was now at the "back of the queue" for trade talks.
Until January, 2017. President Trump will move them to the front as one of his first acts of office...
Speaking at the G20 Summit alongside Theresa May, he said the US trade negotiations with the EU was his priority.
Mr Obama said: "We have a lot of investment, including British companies in the United States and US companies in the United Kingdon.
"That's not going to stop. We're going to do everything we can to make sure that the consequences of the [Brexit] decision don't end up unravelling what is already a very strong and robust economic relationship."
Mr Obama gave a warm welcome to Mrs May at her first big international summit, but the meeting was tainted by Mr Obama's intervention during the referendum campaign in which he said the UK would go to the "back of the queue" for trade talks.
When he made the intervention it was hailed by Remainers as proof of the damaging results of a potential vote to quit the EU, but it outraged Leave campaigners who accused him of unduly meddling in British politics.

Our Kenyan master is the champion of statism and the collective. He has never succeeded at anything else. His loathing of the UK long predates Brexit and is on a par with his loathing of Israel. Remember, "you didn't make that." All success is the product of the collective as controlled by a strong central government.
Now once again, "get to the back of the line."
The quest for racial, egalitarian utopias always produces these types. Robert Mugabe and Jacob Zuma are but two contemporary examples. Like Obama, they share meme of colonial oppression and injustice. Before colonial oppression it was the theft of cattle and of wives by the tribe just over the hill. Blame must always be re-directed. Personal responsibility avoided.
Tribalism at it's root is the purist form of communism. The sooner Obama's failed legacy finds the rubbish bin of history the better.

Jan 2017? Who knows what will happen. Few experiments in democracy appear to have lasted long. Perhaps ours will be no exception. The legalized killing of the unborn and the selling of body parts is a particularly egregious omen. The endless borrowing of money and feckless foreign military entanglements are two additional omens pointing to doom.

It's amazing how much economic damage one man can cause. If that's not the ultimate argument for smaller, unobtrusive government, I don't know what is.
[LI] In July, the Turkish military attempted a coup to take out President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s regime. They failed, which led to a crackdown by the government and a purge of anyone the government felt had ties to scholar Fetullah Gulen, who they feel devised the coup. Erodgan has railed against the West for not standing with its NATO ally, but that all changed this weekend.
President Barack Obama met with Erdogan and promised the U.S. will help bring the coup plotters to justice. Someone please explain to me what Obama knows about justice ?
Obama, speaking at the G20 summit in China, praised the Turkish people who resisted the coup attempt, saying they "affirmed their commitment to democracy" and that they are "the strength and brilliance of democratic institutions."
Obama also said he was glad that Erdogan was safe and able to participate in the economic summit, in what appeared to be a better exchange than the one Erdogan had recently had with Vice President Biden regarding the extradition of controversial cleric Fethullah Gulen, who lives in Pennsylvania.
In a vague reference to Gulen, Obama said the Justice Department and U.S. national security teams "will cooperate with Turkish authorities to determine how we can make sure that those who carried out these activities are brought to justice."
The Turkish government has told the U.S. government in the past that keeping Gulen from Turkey is a "hostile act." Gulen lives in Pennsylvania after he imposed a self-exile in 1999 to escape the regime before Erdogan came to power. But the U.S. said it would only extradite Gulen once the Turkish authorities provide proof that he had direct involvement with the coup.
Erdogan said the government is currently gathering all the evidence "indicating Gulen orchestrated the plot from afar."
[Ynet] Turkey's state-run news agency says a former Istanbul police chief has been sent to jail as part of the probe into the movement allegedly behind an abortive military coup. Anadolu said Sunday former police chief Huseyin Capkin and three other top city officials have been detained for their suspected links with the movement led by US-based Islamic cleric Fethullah Gulen.

Remember, the Democrats were pleased to return the kid Elian Gonzalez to the tender mercies of the Castro regime in Cuba. So, be prepared for Obama, the Muslim Brotherhood catamite, to return Gulen to Turkey.
As David and Rich have already noted, the FBI-302 report of the interview of Hillary Clinton, along with the other notes of investigation released today, make for mind boggling reading. Most bracing is the fact that Mrs. Clinton had her server wiped clean sometime between March 25 and 31, 2015, only three weeks after the New York Times on March 3 broke the story of the server system's existence. David notes that, at the same time the Democrats" Janus-faced presidential nominee was outwardly taking the position that she "want[ed] the public to see my email," she was having her minions frantically purge her emails behind the scenes.
I'd add that this was five months before she feigned ignorance when Fox News's Ed Henry pressed her on whether she'd "tried to wipe the entire server ... so there could be no email, no personal, no official." Henry finally asked, "Did you wipe the server?" Famously, Clinton scoffed, "Like with a cloth or something?" But we now know, as the FBI notes recount, she had the server purged with a sophisticated software program, BleachBit, which eventually made it extraordinarily difficult for the FBI to recover her emails, several thousand of which were successfully destroyed.

I remember during Intifada I, every time you shoot you were investigated by JAG. But, the regs say that you've a right to have one of your officers present. One of our officers was a (very) criminal lawyer. He used to torture these JAG kids.

Mills claims to be Hillary's attorney and thus have attorney-client privilege. IMO, this or she is just a firewall. I don't know how this plays out as she is complicit in conspiring to destroy federal records, obstruct justice, engage in fraud, corruption and racketeering, mishandle classified information, and perjure. When (and how) is this criminal house of cards going to come tumbling down?

Andrew McCarthy's recent article points out that Mills was not Hilda's lawyer during the period she was SOS and was a principle participant in possible criminal behavior. Thus she should neither has been able to claim attorney client privilege during separate questioning nor been present as counsel for questioning on matters to which she was a possible suspect. It is proof beyond doubt, along with the muzzling of the agents during Hilda's interview, that the fix was in. We are only a nation of laws for the small and powerless. Our aristocrats have different, more nuanced standards of conduct.
[PAGESIX] Dr. Drew Pinsky is so afraid of Hillary Clinton ... sometimes described as The Liberatress of Libya and at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another Edward Everett ... and her supporters, he won’t blame them for the cancellation of his show on HLN, the sister channel of CNN.
"No, no, no. I just want them to go away!" he told one friend.
"Dr. Drew" was canceled eight days after Pinsky discussed Clinton’s health on a radio show, saying he was "gravely concerned not just about her health, but her health care."
"CNN is so supportive of Clinton, network honchos acted like the Mafia when confronting Drew," a source told me. "First, they demanded he retract his comments, but he wouldn’t."
What followed was a series of nasty phone calls and e-mails. "It was downright scary and creepy," a source close to Pinsky said.

The free press cited in the First Amendment is about the free flow of information, it is not and never was about a social institution today referred to as the 'press' or MSM. The internet, up till now, as become the last vestige of the original intent and that is why the Inner Party desperately wants control over it.
A very detailed Chronology of Hillary's misdeeds, scandals and lying. Though it makes no difference for the Democrats supporting her. This is why I'm supporting the Weiner-Holder alternative.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
