Obama Set To Become Nation's Most Costly Ex-President

Harry Truman entered politics as a former Army officer and business man who took his turn as a citizen legislator. Through oratory, happenstance and tragedy he wound up President.  He did not gain financially from his public service. After leaving office he ask and was granted a small stipend to cover the cost of answering the mounting correspondence he received as the ex-president. He was later granted a small pension for his service. 

Today the perks of an ex-president are generous to say the least, and it's no wonder a professional grifter like Barack Obama who has spent his entire adult life someway or another on the public payroll, amassing millions as a result of his tenure, would also become a greedy public money grabbing basturd after leaving office.

WT - "President Obama is about to become the most expensive ex-president, costing taxpayers $1,153,000 next year, according to a new Congressional Research Service memo looking at the official allowances for the five living former chief executives. 

His $1,153,000 budget request for 2018 is more than $100,000 higher than President George W. Bush’s request for next year and nearly $200,000 more than President Clinton’s expected budget. President George H.W. Bush is slated to get $942,000, while President Carter will get less than half that, at just $456,000. 

Every former president gets an office, expenses and, in some cases, an annual pension payment, thanks to a 1950s-era law enacted after former President Truman struggled for income when he left the White House in 1953. 

By far the biggest cost for ex-presidents is renting office space. Mr. Obama’s office — 8,198 square feet in D.C. — will cost taxpayers $536,000 next year, the most of any ex-president. Mr. Clinton’s New York office is bigger, at 8,300 square feet, but slightly cheaper at $518,000. The younger Mr. Bush’s office in Dallas is $497,000, while his father’s space in Houston is $286,000. Mr. Carter’s Atlanta office is just $115,000."

Barky's pension payment is also the highest of all living presidents at $236,000 for life. Yup, he's F**kin' us coming and going........

Mental Midgets or Pure Propagandist?

With all the leftist and media hysteria over confederate statues and Nazis behind ever tree, I'm beginning to believe either their cheese has completely slipped of their crackers and are haunted by waking up night after night from night sweats, or they are just phoning it in to help infect the low information crowd on social media with more hateful propaganda. Are these people really this stupid?

I'm leaning toward they are just mental midgets they seemed to always be and just don't know any better........

As Twittermeister and actor James Woods so simply and eloquently as usual points out to these hysterical leftist boobs:

It's getting really difficult these days to satirize the left. They have become a caricature of their own idiocy and don't seem to realize it yet.  And I suspect just any day now we will here from some liberal writer who swears they saw Vladimir Putin in a Confederate uniform sneaking into their back yard at night and planting poison ivy.

Hollywood Land Whale Admits Imminent Defeat??

DT - "For all of the foul-smelling wind that has poured out of leftist gasbag Michael Moore over the past year could it be that the rotund filmmaker is finally acknowledging failure? That very well may be the case with the Resistance having now been taken over by opportunists and violent, masked thugs in black and the ersatz revolutionary leader reduced to preaching to the choir in his self-referential Broadway show and sliming around the late-night shows. He is also making a plea to eliminate the Electoral College, the same system that was never a problem with the left until Hillary managed to run up the popular vote total in loopy liberal California."

"Three weeks into the run of his anti-Trump Broadway show, The Terms of My Surrender, filmmaker and activist Michael Moore tells Fast Company that the president will be reelected in 2020. “I should say re-appointed, because we will have an even larger population that will vote against him in 2020, but he will win those electoral states as it stands now.” 

"Moore’s admission should be a message for Democrats who staked everything on having Trump removed from office under the pretense of he and his team colluding with the Russians to cheat Hillary. But there has been ZERO evidence on that and the longer that it drags on, the more that it looks as if the Democrats themselves were involved in a considerable amount of illicit activity in terms of the election."

"The new craze, that Trump is a racist, white supremacist, neo-Nazi has already failed once before and now that ANTIFA is so out of line that even the Washington Post has to admit it, that won’t fly either.

Moore seems to be getting a head start as the rats break for the lifeboats." - Read Moore

A Good Monday Morning

Killing Scarlett

It was only a matter of time until the war on Confederate statues metastasized to culture and the first target it seems is “Gone With the Wind”, considered one of the greatest American movies ever made and currently #4 on the American Film Institute’s Top 100 movies of all time. 

The Orpheum Theater in Memphis Tenn. have started the ball rolling by deciding to drop the classic 1939 movie set in the plantation era South, with a backdrop of the Civil War, from its annual Summer Movie Series due to negative feedback following the films last showing earlier this month.

“As an organization whose stated mission is to ‘entertain, educate and enlighten the communities it serves’, the Orpheum cannot show a film that is insensitive to a large segment of its local population,” the theater’s operators said in a statement. The historic theater in Downtown Memphis has shown the movie for decades, but this year’s event “generated numerous comments,” leading to the decision." - WREG.com Memphis

By deeming a classic like “Gone With the Wind” which won Eight Academy Awards to be so offensive that it is effectively being censored will only embolden the cultural jihadists to go after other films. Can we say Cowboys and Indians??

The film has been attack before as I wrote in this post from 2015 about flap-jawed flunkey actors turned film critics are like annoying barking dogs or someone who stands next to you in a art museum and insistently explains the meaning of a painting, who at the time were then starting to criticize the film.

But anyone who's ever read Margaret Mitchell's book "Gone With the Wind" will recognize immediately this is not a story about the civil war, but a fictional story set during the time of the civil war.  And I guess the present day PC crowd have forgotten, even though written by a southerner, some northern liberal film critics of the time lauded the film as a sort of elitist glove slap at a lost cause and backward Southern culture, and the film did not initially play well in the South. 

But now, the left deems it insensitive. Go figure.....

Democrats Do Love Them Some Hate and Bigotry

For one hundred years after the Civil War the democrats remained the party of  bigotry. They terrorized whole parts of the country, and fought every attempt at passing civil rights legislation, all the way up until the 1960's.

And now, after years of putting forth phony, wasteful, unrealistic programs in the guise of compassion, in many ways just re-enslaved large segments of the blacks population with government dependency, all for their purpose of a vote. They managed to convince  two whole generations through the education system and media that they, and only they,  held the moral high ground in America. Time has shown otherwise. They have only offered limp wristed acknowledgement of their sins on America.

And now, as democrats play footsie with Antifa under the table and gently touch hands behind their backs, refusing to denounce their violence and anti constitutional ideals even as another violent hate filled, anti-white and anti-law enforcement Black Nationalist group lines up with their fascist minions.

Like Black Nationalist, the democrats believed the election of Barack Obama ushered in a new age of minority dominated rule. It was now theirs. But their dream is shattered and the democrats are slowly turning towards openly aligning themselves with hate once again.

Case in point, this from a  piece at todays Daily Caller:

"An armed Antifa group is launching a new cell in Philadelphia, with support from the “alt-left” alternative media. The group currently hosts anti-police workshops called “Our Enemies in Blue.” The group draws inspiration from convicted murderers and calls for violence against the police, theft of goods, and armed insurrection. Antifa websites like It’s Going Down, Sub.Media and Insurrection News have been promoting the group, which calls itself the Revolutionary Abolitionist Movement."

Taking pride in the “legacy” of “Philadelphia’s rich revolutionary tradition,” RAM cites Mumia Abu Jamal, the Black Panther activist who shot and killed Philadelphia police officer Daniel Faulkner in 1981. It also cites Russell Shoats, who shot a police officer in the back five times in 1970. Similar to Antifa, the actions of the Black Panthers have been described as having a “very undefined purpose of assaulting police officers.”

The group calls on members to “expropriate” or “take away” goods, lands, and tools to “begin the revolutionary process.” Expropriation is another way of saying “seize” or “steal.” 

Despite active calls for violence against law enforcement and revolution against the government, the liberal media has been surprisingly lenient in its coverage of Antifa, depicting them as righteous crusaders against the rise of white supremacy."

Judge Approves Warrant For Leftist Insurrection WebSite

The left will soon discover that they don’t really like the type of mass surveillance and police state powers of the government now that Barack Obama is no longer in office. As long as it was Obama, the vast majority of the left, democrats and the media defended Barry’s transformation of the NSA into his own personal Stasi. There were plenty of opportunities to reign in the surveillance machine during Obama’s eight-year reign of criminality.  Now they are about to be hoisted upon their own petards.......

Downtrend - "In a victory against those who have been hiding behind the First Amendment to carry out acts of violence and sedition that have the goal of overthrowing the legitimately elected government, a federal judge has ordered web hosting company DreamHost to produce the requested data. Barring appeals, this could be a direct strike to the head of the Soros Octopus and the leftist groups like ANTIFA that are trying to incite violence and maybe even a civil war.

The group that the DOJ is seeking information on is called #DisruptJ20 and was the tip of the spear for efforts that never came completely together to stage a domestic version of the color revolutions that typically have taken place in Eastern Europe. Soros-backed front groups and armies of activists played a key part in these types of overthrows of legitimate governments and some have suspected that the same playbook is being used here to remove Trump from power.

Today’s decision could be a sign that the Justice Department is looking for information on where the funding is coming from for the ongoing anti-Trump protests that continue to grow more angry and violent by the day while many in the media have become vocal apologists for ANTIFA."
