Past Time to Undo Obama’s 'Fundamental Transformation'

In 2008 the media lapped up the master of Shuck and Jive, Barack Obama and his high-falutin' promise: Now, Mizzou, I just have two words for you tonight: five days. Five days. After decades of broken politics in Washington, and eight years of failed policies from George W. Bush, and 21 months of a campaign that's taken us from the rocky coast of Maine to the sunshine of California, we are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America.

Amen. Must read. The Democrats need to go the way of the Whigs. President Obama was a phony and a disaster.

Yes. Completely undo 0bama's "fundamental transformation of America." It's been a disaster for Americans and America. Barry Soetoro was always a Domestic Enemy, and remains one today. There's much deliberate destruction in what he does. He's no friend of America and American interests, being for some reason in the thrall of Iran and the mullahs. Would an ally or an enemy do that? Ms. Feldman has again written an essay that should be read by as many as possible.

Its a little late to undo "the fundamental transformation" that began with grand govt programs of the 1930s,1960s and on into the 21st century. But don't worry, as GW Bush said of our Replacement Americans,they'll only be doing the work Americans won't do...

These are very scary times for our country. The coup de grâce has perhaps been delayed by Barack Obama's essential laziness.* He left so many vacancies in the ranks of our judicial system Donald Trump was able to make an exceptional number of appointments that stiffened the intellectual spine of the courts. By contrast, I consider Merrick Garland an outright traitor to this country, and with him on the SCOTUS and his like on the benches down the line, our Republic would already be a memory. Much like the late Harry Reid's shortsighted decision to end filibusters for judicial nominees, Barack Obama's lazy personal habits have postponed the obituary for the American Experiment. *Obama's laziness has been a lifelong trait, shown for example in his being the only student editor of Harvard Law Review to never publish in it, or his inability to write a post-presidency memoir for which he was given an advance by Penguin Random House of about $65 million. His alleged sole authorship of earlier books, especially Dreams of my Father, has also been credibly challenged.

Clarice, I like your summary of the problem. But you didn't articulate how we should undo Obie's "fundamental transformation".

From their high vantage point, forest rangers identify the location of the disaster. It remains for others to extinguish the inferno. I consider Clarice's vision to be a mighty contribution.

I can assure you, most didn't know what he actually meant by that phrase, "to fundamentally transform the United States of America." Sounded like something that was connected to racial healing and so many were captivated into believing they were truly going to change things for the better. That was the intent, to fool people into believing something different from what was intended.

Higher Ed: Now it’s Just Loco 4 replies

Decades ago, higher education was held to a standard of legal responsibility for the welfare of its students. The Latin term in loco parentis (in place of parents) gave them the right and duty to act as parents would. In recent decades, a better description of the how they manage their responsibilities to all students in their care is just plain loco.

The following is nothing more than an educated guess. The current military conflicts in Eastern Europe and the Middle East will not likely end via negotiated armistice, though Mr. Putin may figure out a face-saving way to cut his losses, while Israel is truly committed to putting an end to Hamas and Hezb’allah once and for all. For this to come about, the mullahs in Iran also have to be eliminated. They have made their ancient nation the truly most responsible party for the Israel-Hamas conflict.

There was a mainstream media race to the bottom recently, and The New York Times was the ringleader. The consequences were immediate, terrible, and may be felt for years to come. Announcing the horrifying news of an explosion at a hospital in Gaza, the Times made a series of deliberate and unconscionable choices that contorted the story, and in a way that may have contributed to lost lives. Their headline "Israeli Strike Kills Hundreds in Hospital, Palestinians Say" is abominable journalistic malpractice. Think of the editorial decisions involved here:

The juxtaposition of the Department of Justice’s handling of Hunter Biden with its outrageous treatment of Donald J. Trump justifies Scott Adams's view: "We can now see all of the machinery of government, from influence peddling to fake news to intel-supported hoaxes to political persecutions.” Diving even deeper, as have Jonathan Turley, James Freeman, Dan Bongino, and David Samuels, it’s beginning to look as if Barack Obama knew of Hunter’s corruption and the danger it posed to national security and did nothing about it. In exchange, he’s serving a third term as president behind the scrim while the demented present officeholder serves as a front.

The Biden administration is gearing up to investigate the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank, which was the 16th-largest bank in the United States before it went under after a run on the bank last week. The Justice Department is in the early stages of investigating SVB's failure, Fox News has confirmed. The news was first reported by the Wall Street Journal, which said the Securities and Exchange Commission is also investigating. These inquiries may or may not lead to charges or allegations of wrongdoing and are typical of the government's response after a big company reports massive, unexpected losses. CORRECTION*

The state of Massachusetts is asking private homeowners to take in illegal aliens as the state runs out of room to house the thousands of border crossers who are still flooding into the Bay State. Massachusetts is the only state that has a state-wide “right to housing” rule for homeless families. And with that rule in mind, Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey (D) has repeatedly asked legal residents to open up their homes to illegal immigrants for whom officials are having a hard time finding beds.Healey declared a “state of emergency” over the influx of illegal aliens in August, saying in her declaration, “There are currently nearly 5,600 families

The Iowa caucuses are upon us, and it appears former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley has improved her position, according to the most recent poll. But while the survey reveals favorable results for the candidate, what it says about her supporters in Iowa is also noteworthy. The poll revealed that most of her supporters would vote for President Joe Biden if former President Donald Trump became the Republican nominee. While the overwhelming percentage of Republican voters in Iowa would support Trump if he gets the GOP nod, Haley’s supporters have a different plan.

On the eve of the Iowa caucuses, Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida, a former ally of Donald J. Trump, delivered a blistering critique of the former President, implying that Trump prioritizes personal loyalty over the nation’s welfare. In 2017, Donald Trump, who was then serving as President, threw his support behind Ron DeSantis in the race for Florida’s governorship. This endorsement from Trump was a significant boost for DeSantis, a tea-party conservative, enabling him to surpass the right-wing GOP candidate Adam Putnam, who was serving as Florida’s agriculture commissioner at the time, Politico reported.

President Joe Biden raised more than $97 million in the final three months of last year for his re-election campaign as he prepares to make his case to voters for a second term. The amount was more money than the $68 million that former President Barack Obama raised during the same period of his reelection but it was dwarfed by the $154 million that former President Donald Trump raised for his. Biden's war chest was boosted by a series of star-studded fundraising events, including one in Boston that featured singer-songwriter James Taylor, and three days in California for gatherings with Steven Spielberg, Barbra Streisand, Shonda Rhimes, Rob Reiner, and David Geffen.

The bone-chilling cold was expected to set record-low temperatures Monday and Tuesday from Oregon to Mississippi — about 79% of the country — and threaten an NFL playoff game and the Iowa caucuses. Lashing winds and a slushy-like mix of snow and ice brought down some 100 trees over the weekend in a community just south of Portland, Oregon

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was one of the greatest champions of American democracy...Dr. King was assassinated in 1968 while supporting a strike by sanitation workers in Memphis because he represented a fundamental threat to the white racial order and American apartheid. Unfortunately, while pushed back by the civil rights movements of the 1960s and 1970s, these same forces were never defeated in American society. Instead, they adapted and evolved to maintain their power and influence. With the Age of Trump, ascendant neofascism, and reinvigorated white supremacy the same social and political forces that martyred Dr. King are now reversing the gains of the civil rights movement.
