Obama’s Chief Of Staff Just Made Horrifying Revelation About Obama’s ‘Audacious’ Final Plans

And he used the SOTU to set it in motion!

You see I'm willing to compromise but because of the rancor in Congress, I'll take matters into my own hands.

Excerpt from the SOTU: 

(The last one we'll ever have to hear)

"Democracy grinds to a halt without a willingness to compromise; or when even basic facts are contested, and we listen only to those who agree with us.
Our public life withers when only the most extreme voices get attention. Most of all, democracy breaks down when the average person feels their voice doesn’t matter; that the system is rigged in favor of the rich or the powerful or some narrow interest. 

Too many Americans feel that way right now. It’s one of the few regrets of my presidency – that the rancor and suspicion between the parties has gotten worse instead of better. There’s no doubt a president with the gifts of Lincoln or Roosevelt might have better bridged the divide, and I guarantee I’ll keep trying to be better so long as I hold this office."

He makes it sound like he bent over backwards to get along with Congress. The truth of the matter, citing just two examples of many, to get what he wants he either by-passes Congress altogether (The 5 for 1 swap) or (declares amnesty) by Executive Order.

BTW...didn't he once declare he was the 4th best president of all time? 

Oh...and remember this? In soaring rhetoric the "Messiah" came down from the cross to save us. Contrast his prophecy with the reality. The world is a far worse place now than before he took office.

While President Obama’s frequent use of executive orders to implement his policies has angered many Republicans, his chief of staff is warning Obama has even bigger plans to enact policies without involving Congress. 

White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough had a warning for the nation — in his final year in office, Obama will indulge in “audacious executive action.”

McDonough issued his warning during a breakfast with reporters in Washington D.C., in response to a question about what the president meant when he said he would “go it alone” if Congress wouldn’t back him.

According to National Review, McDonough replied, “We’ll do audacious executive action over the course of the rest of the year, I’m confident of that.” McDonough also said Obama and his team would endeavor to make sure his EOs couldn’t be “undone” by Congress at a later date.

But McDonough hinted that Obama wasn’t going to be constrained by law, Congress, or the Constitution. “McDonough said the White House is considering executive action on any and all issues,” the magazine reported. “And the main question President Obama plans to ask himself is ‘Why not?'”

Conservatives have been denouncing the way the president uses his executive orders (EOs) to force his ideology on the country through his power to affect the business community, environmental regulations, and other sectors of the country. They claim Obama’s use of EOs has been the most extreme of any president.

Liberals counter Obama has not abused the powers of his office because he has actually issued fewer EOs than most other recent presidents. And that’s true, if you go strictly by the numbers.

However, as David Harsanyi notes, it isn’t the number of EOs, but rather what is contained in them, that is cause for concern. Harsanyi says Obama has perpetrated the worst overreach of any executive in history and his EOs have been aimed at far-reaching and substantive changes in the American way of life.

While other presidents centered many of their EOs on things that won’t have a significant impact on most people’s, Obama’s EOs are meant to affect large segments of the population and he’s done so fully admitting he is going around the people elected to make these decisions.

You’ll recall his infamous claim he “has a pen” with which he can just write his plans into existence without anyone’s approval. Not Congress, not the courts, and not the voters.

But Obama has even raised the eyebrows of some liberals with his extreme use of the executive order. Late last year, left-winger Bill Maher warned liberals celebrating Obama’s EOs that someday a Republican might emulate Obama’s EO style, so they should be wary of Obama’s use of EOs today.

BREAKING: Watch the humiliating moment Iran arrested U.S. sailors prior to release

Video 202

Kerry released this statement on Wednesday morning.

It read: 

"I'm very pleased that our Sailors have been safely returned to U.S. hands. As a former Sailor myself, I know the importance of naval presence around the world and the critical work being done by our Navy in the Gulf region."

Displaying his "critical work" with Jane.

Kerry claimed in a 1971 television interview that he threw away as many as nine of his combat medals to protest the war in Vietnam.

"I'm proud of our young men and women in uniform and know how seriously they take their responsibilities to one another and to other mariners in distress. I want to express my gratitude to Iranian authorities for their cooperation ‎in swiftly resolving this matter. That this issue was resolved peacefully and efficiently is a testament to our selling the farm in order to keep the critical facade of diplomacy alive and well. Of course, I did have to kiss some ass like I always do but that goes without saying." 

Déjà vu all over again

To pull off a stunt like this is indicative of the fact the Iranians have no respect whatsoever for this administration. Contrary to the WH 'diplomacy' spin...had Barry already handed over the $150 billion we would be revisiting this: 

And you can take that to the bank.

Think about this. What would you do for $150 billion? Dangling $150 billion over Iran's head the worthless dog turd in the WH, and his equally odorous SOS, still could still not secure the release of 4 Americans held in Iran. 

This is inconceivable!  

One last thing. I have had 5 boats in my lifetime. The adage...'if it has tits or a propeller sooner or later you're going to have a problem'...is true. That said, I can see a boat break down with engine problems and sent adrift. But two boats at the exact same time? Find that a bit weird.

Obama clearing out Gitmo

If you recall the 5 for one swap was done behind the back of Congress.  With this new batch he's releasing (17) once more he is refusing to inform Congress who they are in direct violation of the law. A few about to be released were deemed by the Bush administration “too dangerous to let go”. When the liberal fools voted for him with his promise to close down Gitmo... bet they didn’t know it would be from lack of occupancy! 

Barry likes to blame Gitmo as a recruiting tool for terrorism. (So when they were captured on the battlefield we should have  done what? Release them... like he's doing now?)

This is the list of Muslim terrorist attacks before and after 911. 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Islamist_terrorist_attacks

You would have to be a fool to believe closing down Gitmo is going to somehow put a dent in terrorism. Yet he sits on his ass while ISIS is killing men, woman, and children a dime a dozen and recruiting people faster than eHarmony. Before Barry came along there was no ISIS or Boko Haram. Now one has sworn allegiance to the other. Are we to believe they had a powwow, merged, and their mission statement is...Will fight to the last breath to close down Gitmo?
 Give me a break. 

On the surface everything Barry does makes no sense. 

Refusing to call Islamic terrorism 

Islamic terrorism. 

Calling out and out terrorist attacks "workplace violence" in order to cover for Islam.

Lecturing us about getting off our high horse, slavery, The Jim Cows Laws in his defense of Islam.

The 5 for 1 swap. And now wholesale exhoneration. 

Cuts an insane deal with Iran that only benefits them while giving the U.S. and Isreal the shaft.

Backed the Muslim Brotherhood over Mubarak in Egypt.

But once you understand his true motivation... everything he does makes perfect sense.

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

President Barack Obama long ago declared the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan over, so it should be no surprise that he's releasing the prisoners held at Guantanamo Bay. After all, when wars end, prisoners of war are released.

The problem — much as the president might wish otherwise — is that those wars aren't over and that many of the detainees he's releasing not only are very dangerous but intent on returning to the fight.

No wonder U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk, R-Ill., is protesting the president's recent plan for the imminent release of another 17 Gitmo prisoners.

"With the intelligence community in agreement that 30 percent of the terrorists released from Guantanamo are known or suspected to have rejoined the fight against Americans — it is reckless to release more of these prisoners or bring them on U.S. soil," Kirk said.

President Obama has long made it clear that he wants to close Guantanamo Bay, and he's gone a long way to depopulating it.

Including the pending release of another 17 inmates there, the population is expected to fall to roughly 90 by mid-January.

The initial debate over Obama's plan to close Gitmo involved his desire to transfer inmates there to prisons inside the United States. A bipartisan majority in Congress rejected that plan, asserting that because they might pose an additional security threat inside this country, it is better to keep them at Guantanamo Bay.

In reaction to Congress blocking the transfers, Obama has decided that simply freeing them upon the promise of good behavior is the best way to go. He has routinely argued over the years that the Guantanamo Bay facility should be closed because it serves as a recruiting tool for radical Islamists.

Even if that is true, jihadists will find other means to enlarge their ranks. Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton recently claimed that the Islamic State group and al-Qaida are using Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump as a recruiting tool.

Obama has released more than 600 Gitmo detainees, each time claiming that they pose no threat because they either have mended their ways or are low-level operatives.

But intelligence sources confirmed that many of them have left the countries that agreed to take them and returned to the fight. Of the 653 detainees released, intelligence agencies say they know for certain that 117 returned to jihad and suspect that another 79 have done so. That's roughly one in three.

Nonetheless, Obama downplays the threat that the released pose.

"The judgment we're continually making is: Are there individuals (under consideration for release) who are significantly more dangerous than the people who are already out there who are fighting? What do they add? Do they have special skills? Do they have special knowledge that ends up making a significant threat to the United States?" he recently explained.

So, theoretically, if there are individuals in ISIS, al-Qaida or any other jihadist organizations who might be even more dangerous than a detainee under consideration for release, there's no harm done by letting them go. That's a curious standard, particularly since those still held at Gitmo have been repeatedly described as the worst of the worst, the most ideologically committed and dangerous of the original Gitmo population.

President Obama is required by law to inform — not seek permission from — Congress of his plans to release Gitmo detainees. Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter recently took that step, meaning the latest round of Gitmo population reductions is on the front burner.

If past is prologue, President Obama's action will add to the enemy's strength. Unfortunately, given his ideological commitment to shutting down Gitmo, there is nothing to deter Obama, the nation's commander in chief, from taking this unwise step.

But there will be repercussions. The president can argue all he wants that the releases are no big deal in a military sense. But common sense indicates otherwise.

Firearm sales in Austria are up 350% due to 'unease' over increasing number of Muslim migrants

Gun sales have jumped 350 per cent in Austria amid 'unease' over increasing numbers of Muslim migrants following the Paris terror attacks, firearm dealers have claimed.

The final months of 2015 showed increases in gun permit applications while dealers reported huge demand for self-defence weapons such as tasers, pepper spray and blank firing-guns.

It comes just months after shotguns were reported to have sold out across the country as residents became increasingly paranoid about refugee numbers.

A spokesperson for the arms industry told broadcaster ORF that it was 'clear that people's general sense of unease has increased', The Local reported.

In Styria, which borders Slovenia, the number of permits issued has drastically increased since thousands of refugees began streaming across its borders every day.

Styrian police said: 'Most people said they wanted a weapon because they didn't feel safe'. 

And in Leibnitz and Sudoststeiermark, the number of permits also quadrupled last year, the website reported.

In October, shotguns were reported to have almost sold out across the entire country.

'Virtually all shotguns are currently sold out because you need no permit for them', said Thomas Ortner, spokesman for an arms dealer in Upper Austria.

Broadcasters and local media say the numbers of refugees - coupled with a fear of break-ins as a result - is fuelling the arms race.

'Because of the social change, people want to protect themselves,' one arms dealer told the broadcaster oe.24. He said 'many women' were among his customers.

Czech Independent TV has also reported on an arms upsurge. A few months ago it was revealed most rifles in the country were out of stock.

A central weapon register was introduced in June 2014 to record all legal firearm sales and this year more than 14,000 new weapons were purchased.

Dealers reported that women are also driving up sales of pepper spray because of their fears for personal security in the midst of the great migration of refugees heading to Germany.

'We cannot complain about a lack of demand,' said Stephan Mayer, a gun merchant. 'People want to protect themselves.

'The most common purchasers of arms are primarily Austrian women who are also buying tear [pepper] sprays, which are much in demand.'

Teenage hacker targets Director of National Intelligence James R. Clapper

This comes on the heels of the Chinese hack attack in June 2015. A massive national security breach involving 21.5 million federal employee who's records including security-clearance details dating back 15 years were stolen. In a show of retribution for Chinese internet espionage, Barry  drew 'another red line' by inviting President Xi Jinping to the WH where they dined on Moo goo gai pan and egg rolls.

Josh Earnest: Yes, I Got Hacked... By China

This is their website contact address:  

Office of The Director of National Intelligence

Ask them if they're so "intelligent" how did they allow a punk kid to hack into the head of the DNI accounts?  

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

One of the hackers who boasted last fall of breaking into the private email account of the CIA director apparently has struck again — this time targeting the director of national intelligence.

A prankster who goes by the nickname "Cracka" told a reporter for the online magazine Motherboard that he had broken into a series of accounts linked to National Intelligence Director James R. Clapper. They included his home telephone and Internet, his personal email and his wife's Yahoo email account, according to the site, which is owned by Vice.

The reporter, Lorenzo Franceschi-Bicchierai, said Cracka provided him screenshots of some of that material but not Clapper's personal email.

A spokesman for Clapper, Brian Hale, said the Office of the Director of National Intelligence was "aware of the matter and reported it to the appropriate authorities."

The FBI is investigating.

(So they admit it took place)

Cracka also claimed to have changed the settings on Clapper's home phone number, provided by Verizon FIOS, so that every call would be forwarded to the Free Palestine Movement, Motherboard reported. The ODNI confirmed that.

(He changed the settings on Barry's phone too. When you call the WH a phone rings in Kenya)

When the hacking group known as Crackas With Attitude, or CWA, last year gained access to Brennan's account, they said it was in "opposition to U.S. foreign policy and support to Palestine."

One of the hackers who cracked Brennan's account last year told Wired magazine that he gained access by posing as a Verizon worker and tricking another employee into divulging Brennan's personal information.

Using that data, the hackers were able to reset the password on Brennan's AOL account, Wired reported.

It is not clear whether Cracka similarly used "social engineering" to gain control of Clapper's FIOS account or employed another method.

What an unadulterated embarrassment!
