This is one of the best articles that Victor Davis Hanson has written and that is saying something as he is a brilliant writer and historian !!!! You’ll have to click on the link to read the article as National Review makes it too difficult to copy and paste their articles. Thanks to Martha Jenkins for sharing this exceptional article. Nancy
The Remains of an Administration
Obama’s policies are in tatters, and the worst scandals of his White House are coming to light.
by Victor Davis Hanson May 26,2020
“One is not struck by the truth until prompted quite accidentally by some external event.”
— Kazuo Ishiguro, The Remains of the Day
EXCERPT FROM THIS ARTICLE:
Gilded Socialism
Finally, the Obama post presidency did not help his cause. After eight years of lecturing the nation about the proper time to profit, or identifying the point after which there was no need to make additional money, or that private businesspeople did not really build their businesses, or the need to spread the wealth around, Obama liberated from office almost immediately rushed to the life of private jets and luxury yachts.
He signed multimillion-dollar tech and media deals characterized by requiring little expertise and less work but the promiscuous use of his brand and name. The erstwhile lecturer in chief about redlining and insidious bias bought a mansion in Washington’s toniest district; and after warning about rising seas, coastal flooding, and the need to lower them, he bought a seaside estate at Martha Vineyard, for the fire sale price of just under $12 million. In other words, he knew no time to stop profiting; there was no point when he had enough money; he saw no reason to spread his wealth around; and he really did build his own empire,
The less charismatic purveyors of the Obama legacy have not done well.
Hillary Clinton hired a foreign national to compile a dirty dossier on Trump and seed it in the Obama administration. She blew an election and ended up babbling and fixated permanently on her failure, before pathetically joining the “Resistance.” Joe Biden in his dotage may be spared her angst, given his own seeming inability to know exactly where he is and what he is supposed to say. Obama was supposed to have jump-started the careers of dozens of young, charismatic “diversity” imitators in the presidential arena, such as Cory Booker, Pete Buttigieg, Julian Castro, Deval Patrick, Kamala Harris, and Andrew Yang. All crashed and burned in the Democratic primaries, whether because they were not the Obama Adonis or because they reminded voters of his shallowness.
We were supposed to see a fundamental transformation of the country between 2009 and 2025, as the Obama-Clinton 16-year regnum finally made America right and correct. Instead, we witnessed eight years that ended in scandal whose full dimensions of criminality will take years to process.

This response to a caller from Rush Limbaugh came from Rush’s facebook page. We have witnessed an incredible attempted coup against a sitting president. Whether any of the culprits will serve jail time is up for question BUT the reputations of the FBI, Justice Department, CIA and Obama and his administration have all been shredded. Obama wanted his legacy to survive for decades — I don’t think this is exactly what he had in mind !!! Please share and help to keep Obama’s legacy alive ! Cheers Nancy
We Don’t Know How Close We Came to the Coup Succeeding
May 15, 2020
RUSH: Bill in McHenry, Illinois. You’re next. I’m glad you waited, sir. Hello.
CALLER: Good afternoon, Rush, and 43 million dittos for you, sir, with prayers and thoughts always.
RUSH: Thank you. Thank you. Thank you very, very much. I appreciate that.
CALLER: You bet. Just a thought that I asked Bo about. With Attorney General Barr and Mr. Durham still hovering over the target, we’re getting more transparency in government with documents being declassified and all that. Can we sit here and predict which one of these rats is going to turn state’s evidence or start squealing on the others to save their own hides? Is there someone we can pick out of these smarmy individuals that might walk the plank?
RUSH: I have been asking a variation of that question for a long time, such as which of these people will ultimately decide they don’t want to go to jail for James Comey? But, you know, as time goes on here… (sigh) Here we go optimism/pessimism. I really… When I answer this question honestly, it makes people mad and they start calling me and dumping on me like I’m responsible for it.
This subject came up. My friend Andy McCarthy was on Fox and was asked what kind of accountability there’s gonna be for all of these people, and he said he thinks not much, that there already has been, a lot of them have lost their jobs, a lot of them have been publicly humiliated. But he’s not of the opinion that there are going to be actual trials of people. I hope he’s wrong. He’s making the statement based on experience as a federal prosecutor.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: You know, as to this business of flipping, you know, traditionally that doesn’t happen. Traditionally, leftists do not flip on each other. In fact, can anybody name for me the tell-all book from the Clinton administration? There was none. Can anybody identify for me the tell-all book from the Obama administration? There isn’t one.
They just don’t do it.
They don’t break ranks.

I don’t think anyone could sum things up better than this rabbi has.
A Time to Hate
It’s not too late.
by Rabbi Dov Fischer, Esq. – American Spectator – May 11, 2020
To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; A time to seek, and a time to lose; a time to guard, and a time to cast away; A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; A time to love, and a time to hate; a time for war, and a time for peace.
— Kohelet (Ecclesiastes) 3:1-8
Through eight years, I accepted the rules of the game. Obama was president. He won fair and square because the Republicans serially put up two milquetoast opponents who were incapable of offering a vision or articulating a message that inspired. John McCain had been an American wartime hero who stood by his men, refused early release, and withstood torture in the “ Hanoi Hilton” 40 years earlier. But he had no business running for a presidency two generations later for which he was not prepared to fight and for which he had no vision. And then came Mitt Romney, his etch-a-sketch candidacy, his binders full of women, and his Romneycare, which served as the model for the Obamacare and which was the single most galvanizing issue in 2012 for Republican conservatives. In order to throw out Obamacare, the Republican Party offered us conservatives … what, Romneycare? Tough for us conservatives to sing in that tabernacle choir. I accepted Obama. I never articulated his first name, and I never called him “president,” but I accepted the results and accepted that this Pretender was our country’s lawfully elected chief executive. I watched his arrogance, the unctuous way he carried himself literally with his nose up, the way he never held a railing while walking a stairway because he was too cool, the kinds of human dreck he regularly invited as his White House guests, and I accepted it all with the soft whisper, “This, too, shall pass.” I watched the Corrupt Journalist Corps idolize him, crown him a king, admire him as a messiah and a deity, and I accepted the milieu. This, too, in time would pass. It meant living through eight years of the deepest public corruption. Lois Lerner stealing an election by leveraging the awesome power of the Internal Revenue Service to close down legitimate conservative political groups. Eric Holder — the nobleman who urged people to kick enemies — bringing lawlessness and corruption into the Justice Department, even approving the “Fast and Furious” idea of releasing lethal weapons to Mexican drug lords in the cockamamie scheme to find out how they access and move their weapons. Glenn Beck exposed Obama’s Maoist communications director, Anita Dunn, who walked children through the White House. There was ACORN. Just one corruption after another.

As it became clear Mitt Romney would be the Republican presidential nominee in 2012, the Obama campaign fired up its Chicago-style machine to attack the incumbent president’s election foe. Team Obama identified several Romney donors to smear publicly; one was a wealthy businessman from Idaho.
A former Democratic Senate staffer, according to a 2012 editorial in the Wall Street Journal, contacted an Idaho courthouse seeking the divorce records of Frank VanderSloot, who had donated $1 million to Romney’s campaign. The operative was traced to a professional opposition research shop based in Washington, D.C.
The name of the outfit? Fusion GPS. “Fusion GPS is run by a former Wall Street Journal reporter, Glenn Simpson, who wouldn’t say who is paying him for this high-minded slumming but said in an email that Mr. VanderSloot was a ‘legitimate’ target because of ‘his record on gay issues,’” the Journal wrote.
As we now know, that would not be the last time Obama loyalists would hire Fusion GPS to oversee its dirt-digging operation. Nor was it the first time Obama sought to unseal divorce records to ruin a political opponent.
Obama’s pathway to winning the Illinois U.S. Senate seat in 2004 was cleared after divorce records of his Democratic primary opponent, who had been in the lead, were made public just weeks before the election. After Obama won the primary, the Chicago Tribune sued to get the divorce settlement of Jack Ryan, Obama’s Republican opponent, unsealed. (Many suspect at the behest of Obama advisor and longtime Tribune columnist David Axelrod.) Embarrassing details sank Ryan’s candidacy and he dropped out of the race. Obama won the seat with 70 percent of the vote.
No one wins the presidency without using hardball tactics to get there. Barack Obama is a special case, however, because the media not only covered for him but aided his scorched-earth tactics while he alternated between feigning either innocence or ignorance. This lasted during his two presidential campaigns and eight years in the White House.
The same pattern has been playing out the last four years. In May 2016, the Democrats hired Fusion GPS again to destroy Barack Obama’s rival, Donald Trump. But this time, the artillery would involve the world’s most powerful law enforcement agency, a secret court, and the full complicity of the national news media.

Dirty Dozen: The 12 revelations that sunk Mueller’s case against Flynn
After a prescient 2017 tip from inside the FBI, a slow drip of revelations exposed the deep problems with the Flynn prosecution.
By John Solomon May 9, 2020
Shortly after my colleague Sara Carter and I began reporting in 2017 on the possibility that the FBI was abusing the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act to spy on Americans during the Russia investigation, I received a call. It was an intermediary for someone high up in the intelligence community.
The story that source told me that day — initially I feared it may have been too spectacular to be true — was that FBI line agents had actually cleared former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn of any wrongdoing with Russia only to have the bureau’s leadership hijack the process to build a case that he lied during a subsequent interview.
In fact, my notes show, the source used the words “concoct a 1001 false statements case” to describe the objections of career agents who did not believe Flynn had intended to deceive the FBI. A leak of a transcript of Flynn’s call with the Russian ambassador was just part of a campaign, the source alleged.
The tip resulted in a two-and-a-half-year journey by myself and a small group of curious and determined journalists like Carter, Catherine Herridge, Greg Jarrett, Mollie Hemingway, Lee Smith, Byron York, and Kimberly Strassel to slowly peel back the onion.
The pursuit of the truth ended Thursday when the Justice Department formally asked a court to vacate Flynn’s conviction and end the criminal case, acknowledging the former general had indeed been cleared by FBI agents and that the bureau did not have a lawful purpose when it interviewed him in January 2017.
Attorney General William Barr put it more bluntly in an interview Thursday: “They kept it open for the express purpose of trying to catch, to lay a perjury trap for General Flynn.”

This video was filmed at a peaceful demonstration to open up our state from the lockdown in Raleigh, NC, on Tuesday, April 28, 2020 . Nancy
This was a peaceful protest on public property (the sidewalk) owned by the people who were arrested by the governor’s goons.
This shocking video was still viewable as 11pm on Tuesday, 4/28…..
Thanks to Gadi Adelman, a counter terrorism expert, who was attending the protest in Raleigh yesterday, for providing us with this detailed accounting of what really happened. Nancy
Nancy good morning.
Dee and I were at the rally both yesterday and last week. To answer your question the actual charges on all four were “resisting a public officer and violation of an executive order”.
Personally I’d like to know how stepping on the sidewalk is a violation of the executive order because that is what they were arrested for.
Last week, there were signs up to stay off the sidewalk, those signs were not there yesterday. Also one of the four that was arrested was charged with “damaging property” he had been pulling on the Northeast gate of the executive mansion which Dee and I both saw while we were there but from what I saw I doubt that it was broken due to that.
When I spotted him doing that I pointed it out to Dee and said, “we don’t need to be doing stuff like that”. As I was about to walk over and tell him to stop someone else got there before me and pulled him away. it was well over an hour later that he was arrested for that while standing on the sidewalk.
Nowhere in the governor’s executive order does it say that you cannot walk on the sidewalk, I’m sure these charges will all be tossed out and they were just making an example of them.
The whole reason that this started was because there were no flags flying in front of the executive Mansion. Dee and I also noticed there were no flags last week.
I walked up to the sidewalk and spoke to one of the police officers, I asked him nicely, calmly, and quietly can you tell me why the flags are not up on the flagpole? He refused to answer me, no matter what I asked him he just stood there, nothing was ever said by any of these police officers other than “do not step on the sidewalk” . At one point I finally said to him “I guess you’re not allowed to answer” and he smirked at me.
Aside from the one idiot who pulled on the gates we left downtown cleaner than when we arrived, it was peaceful and there were no threats or anything other than everyone that I saw thanking the police for being there and for their service.
Also, the reason the flags were not being flown (so I found out later) is because the Gov. said they were damaged during protests in the past. What he didn’t bother to say was that ALL those protests were by either, Black Lives Matter, Antifa and Illegals, NEVER any conservative group. ALL the other State buildings had their flags up.

COVID-19 and the approaching new normal
By Terry Mudge
The COVID-19 mantra, “we’re all in this together,” is echoed in advertisements, by conservatives, liberals, and public service announcements. The new heroes are fast food and grocery workers. Being a good citizen is obeying stay-at-home mandates for the safety of others. Feel-good stories of people working together contrast the stories of hospitals as war zones. The daily COVID-19 death toll resurrects memories for us older folks of the Vietnam War’s daily casualty counts.
Can Americans be so naïve they don’t see this crisis for what it is? COVID-19 is being used to usher in a new morality in alignment with a globalist population monitor-and-control system under the guise of public safety. Let’s look at the facts globalists don’t want Americans to add together.
· Economies across the globe are significantly compromised.
· Business-owners have suffered the loss of property without due process or compensation.
· Stay-at-home mandates, effectively jailing people in their homes.
· No criteria established to measure the consequences of stay-at-home mandates or the shutdown of the economy.
· No right of assembly.
· Churches closed.
· Courts have been closed so there can be no redress of grievances.
· No guidelines have been established for return to normal.
· Misinformation: Models are consistently wrong, and data used for assumptions are not explained to the public.
· A shift of governance to bureaucrats — “experts” who contradict one another and themselves almost daily.

This is a fascinating and informative video interview by Bill Moyers of a long time congressional staffer, Mike Lofgren, who is the author of two books,’The Party is Over’ and ‘Anatomy of the Deep State’. The interview was done in 2014 discussing the Deep State which was alive and well even long before Donald Trump appeared on the scene in 2016. Some of the subjects that are discussed are Eisenhower’s warning against the military industrial complex, the influence of Wall Street and Silicon Valley in Washington, The FISA court, and how NASA is also deeply involved. So fascinating to learn how they all nefariously work together in The Deep State. Nancy

I have debated with myself about posting this video as some people consider David Icke a conspiracy theorist. Many of the points that he makes in this video are very intriguing and plausible. Since we are close to a global economic crisis, I decided to send it out and you can decide for yourself if you agree with his statements regarding the world’s reaction to the coronavirus. Nancy
VIDEO
David Icke Explains How the Elite are Using Coronavirus to Reshape the Global Economy
“This coronavirus hysteria gives them an excuse to do what they’re doing, and the consequences of what they’re doing is to dismantle the world economic system.” – David Icke
On Wednesday, David Icke appeared as a guest on London Real to discuss his perspective on the coronavirus and the global lockdown happening right now. The greater implication, he says, is that while people are in a state of fear, they are passively allowing increasing authoritarian controls over their lives, and that this new power grab will not be rolled out when the crisis ends.
The types of government totalitarianism that are being pushed amid the coronavirus outbreak include the encouragement of going cashless, mandatory vaccinations, and most importantly, vast economic controls which we have never seen before this event.
“The way the whole economic system is being shut down is suicide. What happens when it reaches a point where in its present state it cannot survive?” – David Icke
In most US states, local governments have closed down restaurants, bars, hair salons, and coffee houses against the interests of business owners as a means to stop the spread of the coronavirus. As a result, millions of people have already lost their jobs and are unsure about whether they will be able to pay rent. Governments claim that without extreme measures, many more will die, and hospital beds will overfill.
“You have to keep the reaction in proportion to the problem,” David says. “so maybe more needs doing in parts of Italy.
