House Republicans just won a major, unexpected victory in a battle with Obama

They're going to sue Barry over ObanaCare. This will go no where. Want to impress me? File Articles of Impeachment! Which will also go no where but gives him a black guy, further taints his tainted legacy, and will consume all his time preventing him from taking the country to the brink of no return.

We own the House and Senate and what have they accomplished? We've had investigations up the wazoo... IRS, Benghazi, F&F, Bergdahl swap, amnesty, treasonous deal with Iran, etc. And what do we have to show for it? Not a damn thing! 

These two got to go.

Republicans in the US House of Representatives have standing to proceed with a lawsuit against US President Barack Obama's administration over his signature healthcare law, a federal judge said Wednesday, handing them a significant and somewhat unexpected victory in the ongoing legal battle.

US District Court Judge Rosemary M. Collyer ruled Wednesday against the Obama administration's motion to dismiss the case. Collyer said House Republicans do have the standing to pursue their challenge, which argues that the Obama administration violated the US Constitution by spending money on the law that had not been appropriated by Congress.

That was a key question in the lawsuit, which the White House and House Democrats have continually dismissed as a "political stunt."

In her ruling, Collyer rejected that argument, calling the House's challenge valid.

"Despite its potential political ramifications, this suit remains a plain dispute over a constitutional command, of which the Judiciary has long been the ultimate interpreter," she wrote.

The case centers on the more than $175 billion the administration will spend over the next decade under a cost-sharing program with health-insurance companies. The Obama administration has said it's spending previously allocated money.

The attorney for the House, Jonathan Turley, called Collyer's decision "historic and profound."

"The ruling today means that the United States House of Representatives now will be heard on an issue that drives to the very heart of our constitutional system: the control of the legislative branch over the power of the purse," he wrote in a statement posted to his website. "We are eager to present the House's merits arguments to the Court and remain confident that our position will ultimately prevail in establishing the unconstitutional conduct alleged in this lawsuit."

House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio), who's leading the lawsuit against the president, said he was "grateful" for the court's ruling.

"The president's unilateral change to Obamacare was unprecedented and outside the powers granted to his office under our Constitution," Boehner said in a statement. "I am grateful to the court for ruling that this historic overreach can be challenged by the coequal branch of government with the sole power to create or change the law. The House will continue our effort to ensure the separation of powers in our democratic system.

Obama Divorce? Rumors Barack And Michelle's Marriage Is Ending Circulate Again

Is Barack Obama headed for a divorce? The rumors that Barack and Michelle Obama's marriage is on the rocks are back, and this time they carry an added piece of gossip. According to the National Enquirer, Michelle is unhappy with her husband because he has been getting his flirt on... with Caroline Kennedy.

"He immediately started flirting up a storm, while Michelle could barely keep her temper in check. Even though both their families were there, it was really intense. At one point later, Barack 'jokingly' suggested to Caroline that the two go skinny-dipping! 

She is more his speed.

While they didn't end up swimming nude, Barack and Caroline did sneak off to talk politics over lunch and swam in the ocean with the rest of the group. Before the day was over, Michelle was seething and furious. After they returned to their rented compound, she lit into Barack and read him the riot act," said a source.

Barack Obama divorce rumors have circulated in the past, and sources say that he and Michelle plan to split after his presidency is over. According to The Epoch Times, it was indeed the Enquirer that ran the story in 2014. These stories have popped up time and time again, after political writer Edward Klein made some claims about trouble in Obama paradise.

"The smart money says the marriage is doomed. Barack and Michelle have had a rocky go for years and mainly stayed together for their daughters and his political career," a source reportedly said last year.

The Obamas have several more months of White House-living to go, but many believe that their marriage is (and has been) over. Of course, only time will tell, but many won't be surprised if these two decide to call it quits in the coming years.

As far as the flirting/cheating rumors, you can choose to believe whatever you like. Michelle Obama doesn't really seem like the jealous type, but you never really know what is going on beyond closed doors.

Anybody remember the Mandela funeral?

Muslims converting to Christianity in Germany to get asylum

800,000 Muslims pour into Germany that even the Arabs didn't want!

This is Germany's "Neville Chamberlain" moment.

-----------------------------------------

Amidst heart-wrenching news of migrants trying to seek refuge in European countries, asylum-seeking Muslims in Germany are apparently being baptized and converting to Christianity for one rumored reason: It will increase their chance of staying in the stable European country.

Which is the last thing they need.

Mohammed Ali Zonoobi is one such Muslim. He bends his head as the priest pours water over his hair and says loudly in a prayer-like manner, "Will you break away from Islam?".

Zonoobi gives the answer in the affirmative, elevating his hope to stay in Germany as he would be able to say after converting that he can't go back to his homeland owing to discrimination. His first name is now Martin not Mohammed.

Zonoobi, a carpenter from Iran, arrived in Germany with his family around five months ago. He belongs to the many hundreds of mostly Iranian and Afghan asylum seekers who get converted to Christianity at the evangelical Trinity Church.

Read: Pope Francis terms Europe's rejection of migrants 'an act of war'

This coming from the Pope oblivious to the fact a Muslim would kill him in a heartbeat if given half a chance.

Pastor Gottfried Martens has been converting these Muslim men and women for quite some time now. He agrees that many convert so that they can stay in Germany but he argues that only 10% of the new converts abandon the church by not attending the mass after christening.

"I know there are — again and again — people coming here because they have some kind of hope regarding their asylum," Martens said. "I am inviting them to join us because I know that whoever comes here will not be left unchanged."

Although becoming Christian does not help the ex-Muslims much, there is a slim chance that Germany would deport them to their native countries since they can get punished by death for apostasy.

They're forgetting about this:

On a tip from Ed Kilbane

Raymond Ibrahim of The Middle East Forum

This, then, is the dilemma: Islamic law unambiguously splits the world into two perpetually warring halves—the Islamic world versus the non-Islamic—and holds it to be God's will for the former to subsume the latter. Yet if war with the infidel is a perpetual affair, if war is deceit, and if deeds are justified by intentions—any number of Muslims will naturally conclude that they have a divinely sanctioned right to deceive, so long as they believe their deception serves to aid Islam "until all chaos ceases, and all religion belongs to God." Such deception will further be seen as a means to an altruistic end. Muslim overtures for peace, dialogue, or even temporary truces must be seen in this light, evoking the practical observations of philosopher James Lorimer, uttered over a century ago: "So long as Islam endures, the reconciliation of its adherents, even with Jews and Christians, and still more with the rest of mankind, must continue to be an insoluble problem."

In closing, whereas it may be more appropriate to talk of "war and peace" as natural corollaries in a Western context, when discussing Islam, it is more accurate to talk of "war and deceit." For, from an Islamic point of view, times of peace—that is, whenever Islam is significantly weaker than its infidel rivals—are times of feigned peace and pretense, in a word, taqiyya.

The bottom line. Muslims are permitted to lie even disavow Islam and Mohammed if it is not a genuine heart-felt rejection. Just about anything goes as long it benefits Islam.

If you could read his mind...There's a sucker born every minute.

Germany has been experiencing an unprecedented increase in asylum seekers this year, with migrants' number reaching up to 800,000 now, an around fourfold increase on last year.

Most of the asylum-seekers come from Muslim countries like Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. Lately, almost 40% to 50% from Syria and Afghanistan have been allowed to stay in Germany, albeit temporarily.

Germany's Federal Office for Migration and Refugees asserted that it did not influence on the reasons applicants make while applying for asylum, or they do not get accepted on the basis of their religion and persecution they might face if they return.

But, for Zonoobi and his wife Afsaneh the christening has actually marked a new beginning.

"Now we are free and can be ourselves," she said. "Most important, I am so happy that our children will have a good future here and can get a good education in Germany."

Al Roker's 'Wake Up With Al' Weather Channel show cancelled

Al Roker's show was reportedly cancelled on Monday

Sources say a series of blustery emails between Roker and boss David Clark led to his firing

Al Roker's Wake Up With Al Show on the Weather Channel has reportedly been cancelled

It was cloudy with a chance of getting fired on Monday when Al Roker's 'Wake Up With Al' show on the Weather Channel was axed after a stormy email session with his boss.

The Today Show's weather guru was reportedly canned after email flurries with David Clark, president of the Weather Co.’s TV division, reports Page Six.

The squall reportedly began when the veteran weather watcher wanted to cover the tenth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans.

But Clark reportedly insisted on covering Tropical Storm Erika instead, even though Roker pointed out it wouldn’t arrive in Florida for days, if ever. 

Erika sputtered into rainfall before reaching the U.S.

'Viewers aren’t stupid. They can see when potential landfall is,' Roker reportedly pinged his boss.

Clark is then said to have replied, 'If you disagree with a decision you are welcome to speak up ... but this is out of line and not how we do things here.'

Roker then supposedly made a digital gaffe when he shot back 'Really David. You want to try and spank me in front of people.'

Roker and his cohost Stephanie Abrams (above) are reportedly out of a job - at least at The Weather Channel

Roker reportedly got the boot after a turbulent series of emails between him and his boss, David Clark

He also reportedly accidentally carbon copied several other executives.

In a followup mea culpa, Roker apparently wrote, 'I didn’t mean for this to be a public argument,' saying that he didn't mean to 'reply all.'

Quicker than an April shower, Roker's show was cancelled after six years.

Roker has not commented on the report that his show has been iced.

Donald Trump campaign ‘bad’ for US political system: Hillary Clinton

This coming from the candidate who is currently under FBI investigation for having a private server to send and receive classified emails. Not to mention while SOS selling our uranium to the Russians.

------------------------------------------------------

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton said that Republican front runner Trump is unqualified to be president. 

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has slammed her leading Republican rival Donald Trump saying his high-profile campaign is a “bad development” for the American political system.

The former Secretary of State, who is battling declining popularity ratings after it became known that she had used a private email server during her term as the top US diplomat, also said that Republican front runner Trump is unqualified to be president.

Asked yesterday about real estate tycoon Trump’s attacks on her longtime aide Huma Abedin, Clinton said the Republican’s candidacy is “a bad development for our American political system” and that his bravado could have dangerous repercussions if he became president, NBC News reported.

“Loose talk, threats, insults — they have consequences. The president of the United States needs to be careful about what he or she says,” she said.

She went to say that Trump is “great at innuendo and conspiracy theories and really defaming people. He is the candidate of being against”.

“That’s not what I want to do in my campaign, and that’s not how I’m going to conduct myself,” she said.

Trump and fellow Republican candidate Ted Cruz will hold a rally opposing President Barack Obama’s nuclear agreement with Iran next week at the same time Clinton will be defending it in a speech in Washington.

Asked about that, Clinton suggested that Trump and Cruz “don’t believe in diplomacy” and said Americans want a president who does.
