One last hurrah for Rahm.
The foundation behind the planned Obama Presidential Center in Chicago has a tentative agreement with the city to pay just $10 to use 19.3 acres of city park space for 99 years, according to a report.
The accord is described in legislation that Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s administration will send to the City Council on Thursday, the Chicago Sun-Times reported. Continue reading →
He had previously given his blessing to a bunch of rabid gun grabbers to block a busy Chicago expressway and inconvenience thousands of people with real jobs and places to go.
Chicago activists call on Emanuel to resign ahead of massive anti-violence protest
Protesters plan to walk along Lake Short Drive during Thursday’s rush hour, on the first day of the Lollapalooza music festival, and end up at Wrigley Field during a Chicago Cubs game.
The Tribune reported that the group is calling for Emanuel and Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson to step down in the face of the city’s failure to stem its gang- and police-related bloodshed.
The protest will likely stall traffic throughout the city as crowds move along one of Chicago’s busiest roads and into the Wrigleyville neighborhood. Continue reading →

Kris Kobach: Voter Fraud Commission ‘Being Handed Off’ to DHS, Will No Longer Be ‘Stonewalled’ by Dems
DON’T EXPECT MUCH TO COME OF THIS. FRAUD IS NEVER REVEALED UNTIL AFTER AN ELECTION WHEN NOTHING CAN BE DONE ABOUT IT. DEMOCRATS HAVE BEEN USING THIS FOR DECADES TO TIP ELECTIONS, GOING BACK AT LEAST AS FAR AS THE 1960 NIXON-KENNEDY CONTEST WHEN MAYOR DALEY HELD BACK THE VOTE TOTALS FROM CHICAGO. KENNEDY WAS GIVEN ENOUGH ‘DEAD’ VOTES TO WIN THE PRESIDENCY. THEY CAN’T WIN WITHOUT CHEATING AND THEY KNOW IT. In an interview with Breitbart News, Kobach said the news that President Trump is dissolving the voter fraud commission should not be grounds for leftist organizations and Democrats — who sought to stop the investigations into double voting and ballots cast by non-citizens — to celebrate, as the investigations will continue under DHS.
“What’s happening is a tactical shift where the mission of the commission is being handed off to Homeland Security without the stonewalling by Democrats,” Kobach told Breitbart News. http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2018/01/03/exclusive-kris-kobach-voter-fraud-commission-being-handed-off-to-dhs-will-no-longer-be-stonewalled-by-dems/
New England wanted to use all renewable energy… then it got cold
‘GREEN’ ENERGY DON’T MEAN MUCH WHEN THE LANDSCAPE TURNS WHITE. THIS IS VERMONT. WONDER WHAT BERNIE WARMS HIS MANSIONS WITH?
Rather than carping about Perry’s energy plans, perhaps these critics should take a trip up to Vermont this weekend when the temperature is expected to hit negative 10 without the wind chill. Take a look at their power grid and then tell us how we need to all be converting to wind and solar. You’re putting people at serious risk if we cripple the power grid and we need to come to grips with that reality. https://hotair.com/archives/2018/01/04/new-england-wanted-use-renewable-energy-got-cold/
Book: Clinton took secret trips outside White House to visit girlfriends A new book from one of his former Secret Service officers claims that Bill Clinton often snuck away from his wife and out of the White House to cozy up with “well-known and lesser-known mistresses,” and that a Secret Service officer in the motorcade was nearly killed in a crash during one secret escape.
Gary J. Byrne, a former Uniform Division officer at the center of the Monica Lewinsky scandal, writes in his latest book, Secrets of the Secret Service: The History and Uncertain Future of the U.S. Secret Service, that Clinton demanded a tiny motorcade to secretly dash around Washington unnoticed, ordering that the cars try to obey laws like stopped lights. http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/book-clinton-took-secret-trips-outside-white-house-to-visit-girlfriends/article/2645002
Weak Sessions Declares War on Legal Pot – But Allows Mueller’s Witch Hunt to Destroy POTUS Trump to Continue Jason Chaffetz: Some people suggested there be a second special counsel. How’s that first one working out? I wouldn’t do a second one. I really do believe that it’s time for Attorney General Sessions to go. I don’t think he’s up for the job. Every time I see him he looks like he’s some prisoner. And the only reason we have a special counsel is because we have an Attorney General who can’t do his job. http://thegatewaypundit.com/2018/01/wth-weak-sessions-declares-war-legal-pot-allows-muellers-witch-hunt-destroy-potus-trump-continue/

Maxine Waters wrote a poem about Robert Mueller sending Trump officials to jail WHO WROTE THIS CRAP? A 9 YEAR OLD?
Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., on Wednesday tweeted a poem about special counsel Robert Mueller jailing members of the Trump campaign.
“A message to Mueller: Stay strong and stand tall. Continue to investigate them all. You are indeed answering the people’s call. The Kremlin Klan is going to fall. Around you the Democrats are building a wall. We look forward to the day, to prison they will all be hauled,” the California Democrat said on Twitter Wednesday afternoon http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/maxine-waters-wrote-a-poem-about-robert-mueller-sending-trump-officials-to-jail/article/2644874
Ellison Embraces Antifa Violence Against Trump Muslim Brotherhood Congressman goes all-in against the administration Ellison, an in-your-face Muslim sympathetic to jihad, implicitly expressed support for the use of violence against President Trump in a tweet as he posed for a selfie with the cover of Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook, by Mark Bray.
Ellison’s embrace of Antifa runs counter to statements House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) made in August last year during a spate of Antifa violence in her home state.
“Our democracy has no room for inciting violence or endangering the public, no matter the ideology of those who commit such acts,” Pelosi said. “The violent actions of people calling themselves Antifa in Berkeley this weekend deserve unequivocal condemnation, and the perpetrators should be arrested and prosecuted.” https://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/268934/ellison-embraces-antifa-violence-against-trump-matthew-vadum
Pro-life Pregnancy Center Files HHS Complaint Over Illinois Law that Requires Them to Promote Abortion In the complaint, the groups argue that the new requirements violate existing federal law including the Hyde-Weldon Amendment which forbids state and local governments from discriminating against healthcare providers based on their refusal to “provide, pay for, provide coverage of, or refer for” abortions.
They argue that the law also specifically targets pro-life healthcare providers and infringes on their First Amendment rights to free speech and free exercise of religion. https://townhall.com/tipsheet/laurettabrown/2018/01/05/prolife-pregnancy-center-files-complaint-over-new-illinois-law-that-requires-them-to-promote-abortion-n2430178
JFK’s Nephew Says Rahm Emanuel Plans To Kick Black People Out Of Chicago Chris Kennedy, a Democratic Illinois gubernatorial candidate and nephew of former President John F. Kennedy, claimed on Thursday that Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel has a plan to kick African-Americans out of the city on Thursday.
“I believe that black people are being pushed out of Chicago intentionally by a strategy that involves disinvestment in communities being implemented by the city administration. I believe Rahm Emanuel is the head of the city administration and therefore needs to be held responsible for those outcomes,” http://dailycaller.com/2018/01/04/jfks-nephew-says-rahm-emanuel-plans-to-kick-black-people-out-of-chicago/
Convicted felon announces campaign for governor in Democratic state – sounds about right Joe Ganim, 58, filed the necessary paperwork to run for governor at the State Elections Enforcement Commission office in Hartford, Conn., joining a number of other Democratic candidates who have expressed interest in running for current Democratic Gov. Dannel Malloy’s spot, who said in April that he would not seek re-election.
Ganim was convicted of 16 federal corruption charges in 2003 while serving as mayor and was sentenced to nine years in prison. After serving almost seven years, Ganim was released. http://www.bizpacreview.com/2018/01/04/convicted-felon-announces-campaign-governor-democratic-state-sounds-right-583879
NY’s Cuomo Will File Lawsuit Against GOP Tax Bill, Says It Wages Economic Civil War Against Blue States
STATES LIKE NEW YORK, NEW JERSEY, AND CALIFORNIA HAVE BEEN SOAKING PEOPLE WITH ENORMOUS TAXES FOR DECADES. SINCE THEY GOT TO WRITE IT ALL OFF ON THEIR IRS RETURNS, THEY DIDN’T SQUAWK TOO MUCH. NOW THAT THE TAX CUT HAS PUT A CAP ON THE AMOUNT THEY CAN DEDUCT, PEOPLE ARE REALIZING HOW BADLY THEY’VE BEEN GETTING SCREWED.
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is not a fan of the GOP’s tax bill that was signed into law on December 22. He likened it to economic civil war. He pretty much said that it robs blue states to help finance tax cuts in red states. Oh, and it’s the most partisan legislation he’s ever seen. He also argued that it would make it harder to New York to attract businesses
Prior to the New Year, Cuomo went on CNN and told host Alisyn Camerota that this bill is nothing short of economic civil war against blue states

Joy Behar: He needs to be medicated and hospitalized at this point or he is going to just kill all of us. You know, and my feeling is that probably they are getting closer to him in the Mueller investigation. And that’s what this is about, a lot of it. He’s going to blow the whole world up so that he and his stupid sons don’t have to go to jail.
Planned Parenthood enters transgender-hormone market as abortions decline, clinics close The 2016-17 Planned Parenthood annual report showed the nation’s largest abortion provider struggling to keep its doors open as fewer women undergo abortions and patients seek health care services elsewhere.
In response, “We’re expanding access to care — from pioneering research on self-injectable birth control to offering new services for our transgender patients,” Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards said in the report’s introductory message.
“Planned Parenthood has focused on expanding services to people who are too often overlooked by the larger medical community — including trans patients,” says the report, released Sunday. “17 states now have Planned Parenthood health centers that provide hormone therapy.” https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2018/jan/3/planned-parenthood-enters-transgender-market/

“In the face of the continuing assassination of innocent police officers across the country as an apparent offshoot of the BLM movement, it is irresponsible of the City to [publicly] declare support for the lives of one sector of our population to the exclusion of others, including police officers,” the union’s release said.
Obama to tap Democratic nostalgia in bid to sell Clinton to divided party With resentment still simmering among supporters of Sen. Bernard Sanders over Mrs. Clinton’s pending nomination, White House spokesman Eric Schultz said Mr. Obama wants to remind Democrats that “the choice for voters could not be starker” between Mrs. Clinton and Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.
“The president has been candid about why he thinks electing the Republican nominee is a risky path for the United States,” Mr. Schultz said, but the speech “will much more focus on how Secretary Clinton has the judgment, the toughness and the intellect to succeed him in the Oval Office.”

Cook County property tax bills cause outrage
THIS IS WHY I DON’T GO NEAR CROOK COUNTY
CHICAGO (WLS) —
Cook County taxpayers are outraged after property tax bills showed up in the mail. The bills are skyrocketing this year.
AND THEY CALLED ME A CRIMINAL
The bills that arrived over the weekend reflect rising Cook County real estate values and, in Chicago, the city’s $588 million levy increase. Most of it is to restore police and firefighter pensions that Mayor Rahm Emanuel says his predecessors underfunded.
“A number of people across the spectrum, politically, denied, deferred and delayed the day of judgement,” said Mayor Emanuel.
The White House has seized on the lame excuse of blaming 20 Middle East countries in flames over a stupid movie.The Libyan President has said the attacks were months in planning.McLame said protesters don’t bring RPG’s and heavy weapons to a demonstration.No matter,Obamao will use any excuse to defer blame from his disastrous foreign policy.Of course,the media will dutifully report anything he says as gospel.We all see what’s going on and it’s so frustrating to watch him get away with it.The Obama regime and the state department have circled the wagons and will take no more questions on why they took no action when reports said they were warned up to three months before the planned attacks to comemmorate 9/11.
Madame pantsuit personally ordered no Marine security for the Libyan embassy,but Valerie Rasputin received full Secret Service protection for her vacation to Martha’s Vineyard last week.
The Chicago teacher’s union got a new proposal late last week.Moby Dickless said they had to have 2 days to look it over.Apparently they had to find a kid who was educated in private school to read it to them.Yesterday they summarily rejected the proposal and Tiny Dancer is threatening to go to court to order them back to work.I heard an audio this morning from Karen Lewis saying ‘the elephant in the room is the closing of 200 schools.’ I always thought the elephant in the room was that brown behemoth.
It seems Romney is in a difficult position.Republicans want him to define what his plans would be as president and the administration sits on its hands waiting for their media lapdogs to shred anything he says to detract from this epic failure.Polls go up and down but it seems some repubs are panicking because they think obama should be dead and buried by now.
In Wisconsin the libs found a sympathetic judge in Madison to rule the collective bargaining rights law was unconstitutional.Of course,this will be overruled,but they never quit.They are fighting to get the voter ID law overturned,but the SOS said they would enforce it anyway.
This is being posted late because our power went out about 7AM as I was in the middle of typing this and just came back on 4 hours later.Oh,well.Caught up on some reading anyway.
Jarrett has no qualifications to be the principal adviser to the president of the United States, yet he turns to her for definitive advice on all issues.
She has given him terrible advice over and over, and still he turns to her.
Jarrett pushed ObamaCare. Rahm Emanuel advised a small, bipartisan health care reform. Emanuel is now out of the White House.
Jarrett pushed the Solyndra fiasco. Larry Summers warned Obama not to get involved in venture capital of any sort. Summers is now out of the White House.
Jarrett pushed Obama to take on the Catholic Church over contraception. Bill Daley argued against it. Daley is now out of the White House.
Jarrett told Obama that the mission to kill bin Laden was too politically risky. Obama listened to her for four months, canceling three operations to kill Osama bin Laden before finally saying yes on the fourth.
The “I made the decision to go after bin Laden” decision was ultimately not made because it was the right thing to do, but because they were worried about the political fall-out if the public learned that Obama had refused to go after bin Laden when he had the chance!
Caveat: I have seen no evidence whatsoever that Barack Obama is “brilliant” and I highly doubt he’s “devised” much of anything, never mind the entire scheme to bring this great nation to its knees. Is he helping to implement the plans that others have devised? Absolutely.
Rahm Emanuel cynically said, “You never want a crisis to go to waste.” It is now becoming clear that the crisis he was referring to is Barack Obama’s presidency.
Obama is no fool. He is not incompetent. To the contrary, he is brilliant. He knows exactly what he’s doing. He is purposely overwhelming the U.S. economy to create systemic failure, economic crisis and social chaos — thereby destroying capitalism and our country from within.
Barack Obama is my college classmate (Columbia University, class of ’83). As Glenn Beck correctly predicted from day one, Obama is following the plan of Cloward & Piven, two professors at Columbia University. They outlined a plan to socialize America by overwhelming the system with government spending and entitlement demands. Add up the clues below. Taken individually they’re alarming. Taken as a whole, it is a brilliant, Machiavellian game plan to turn the United States into a socialist/Marxist state with a permanent majority that desperately needs government for survival … and can be counted on to always vote for bigger government. Why not? They have no responsibility to pay for it.
— Universal health care. The health care bill had very little to do with health care. It had everything to do with unionizing millions of hospital and health care workers, as well as adding 15,000 to 20,000 new IRS agents (who will join government employee unions). Obama doesn’t care that giving free health care to 30 million Americans will add trillions to the national debt. What he does care about is that it cements the dependence of those 30 million voters to Democrats and big government. Who but a socialist revolutionary would pass this reckless spending bill in the middle of a depression?
— Cap and trade. Like health care legislation having nothing to do with health care, cap and trade has nothing to do with global warming. It has everything to do with redistribution of income, government control of the economy and a criminal payoff to Obama’s biggest contributors. Those powerful and wealthy unions and contributors (like GE, which owns NBC, MSNBC and CNBC) can then be counted on to support everything Obama wants. They will kick-back hundreds of millions of dollars in contributions to Obama and the Democratic Party to keep them in power. The bonus is that all the new taxes on Americans with bigger cars, bigger homes and businesses helps Obama “spread the wealth around.”
— Make Puerto Rico a state. Why? Who’s asking for a 51st state? Who’s asking for millions of new welfare recipients and government entitlement addicts in the middle of a depression? Certainly not American taxpayers. But this has been Obama’s plan all along. His goal is to add two new Democrat senators, five Democrat congressman and a million loyal Democratic voters who are dependent on big government.
— Legalize 12 million illegal immigrants. Just giving these 12 million potential new citizens free health care alone could overwhelm the system and bankrupt America. But it adds 12 million reliable new Democrat voters who can be counted on to support big government. Add another few trillion dollars in welfare, aid to dependent children, food stamps, free medical, education, tax credits for the poor, and eventually Social Security.
— Stimulus and bailouts. Where did all that money go? It went to Democrat contributors, organizations (ACORN), and unions — including billions of dollars to save or create jobs of government employees across the country. It went to save GM and Chrysler so that their employees could keep paying union dues. It went to AIG so that Goldman Sachs could be bailed out (after giving Obama almost $1 million in contributions). A staggering $125 billion went to teachers (thereby protecting their union dues). All those public employees will vote loyally Democrat to protect their bloated salaries and pensions that are bankrupting America. The country goes broke, future generations face a bleak future, but Obama, the Democrat Party, government, and the unions grow more powerful. The ends justify the means.
— Raise taxes on small business owners, high-income earners, and job creators. Put the entire burden on only the top 20 percent of taxpayers, redistribute the income, punish success, and reward those who did nothing to deserve it (except vote for Obama). Reagan wanted to dramatically cut taxes in order to starve the government. Obama wants to dramatically raise taxes to starve his political opposition.
With the acts outlined above, Obama and his regime have created a vast and rapidly expanding constituency of voters dependent on big government; a vast privileged class of public employees who work for big government; and a government dedicated to destroying capitalism and installing themselves as socialist rulers by overwhelming the system.
Add it up and you’ve got the perfect Marxist scheme — all devised by my Columbia University college classmate Barack Obama.
