Report: Barack Obama and the Palestinian Authority are planning more actions against Israel
Despite his claim that he was an innocent bystander a report has surfaced which claims the Obama regime collaborated on the United Nation’s anti-Israel settlement resolution and now it is being reported that the President is not done with Israel just yet.
According to this story the Obama regime has been in contact with the Palestinian Authority about the possibility of more actions being taken against Israel before the lame duck President leaves office, here is more:
The Palestinian Authority has been in contact with the Obama administration and European countries about the possibility of taking more UN action on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict before President Obama leaves office next month, a senior PA official told Breitbart Jerusalem.
The official said the UN action could come in the form of declarations by UN bodies, including the General Assembly; UN sessions on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict; or even another United Nations Security Council (UNSC) resolution. He said any further UNSC resolution would depend on the support of the U.S. and European countries after the upcoming Paris Mideast summit slated for January 15.
He said the UN action would seek to set the parameters of a future Palestinian state with a clear timeline for negotiations. If the action comes in the form of a resolution at a UN body, it could call for an infrastructure to establish mechanisms to enforce last week’s UNSC resolution, which demanded a complete halt to Israeli construction in the West Bank and eastern Jerusalem and declared those territories occupied Palestinian lands.
The PA official said the proposals set forth at the Paris Mideast conference will likely serve as the basis for upcoming UN action.
It is becoming clear, if these reports are true, that Barack Obama is not only not an innocent bystander but rather is one of the driving forces behind the anti-Israel drive within the United Nations.

In the wake of the United Nation’s anti-Israel resolution which passed with the abstention of the United States the Obama regime claimed it did not push the resolution but was in fact a bystander during the lead up to the vote. The Obama regime stated the reason for the abstention was that there were things in the resolution the United States did not agree with therefore they could not vote for the resolution in good conscience. It would seem to me if this was true the United States should have vetoed the resolution so it seems as if there is more to this story…
However, if this story is true, that might not be entirely true it appears as if the United States not only not a bystander but also helped to craft the resolution in secret meetings. Here is more:
Appeals court revives lawsuits over Hillary Clinton’s emails
If Hillary Clinton thought her email woes died alongside her Presidential aspirations she was sadly mistaken because today the DC Court of Appeals (yes, the DC Court of Appeals) has revived lawsuits by Judicial Watch and Cause of Action seeking to force the Federal government to sue the former Secretary of State.
Here is more:
A federal appeals court has revived a pair of lawsuits seeking to force the federal government to sue former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton in a quest to try to recover more emails from the private server she used while secretary of state.
A three-judge panel of the District of Columbia Circuit Court of Appeals ruled unanimously Tuesday that a lower court judge erred when he threw out the cases as moot after the State Department received tens of thousands of emails from Clinton and more from the FBI following the criminal investigation it conducted.
Watchdog groups Judicial Watch and Cause of Action filed separate suits in 2015, asking that Secretary of State John Kerry and the head of the National Archives, Archivist David Ferriero, be required to refer the Clinton email issue to the Justice Department to consider filing a civil suit to get missing federal records back.
And here is more about the opinion:
Barack Obama claims he would have beat Donald Trump if he could have run for a third term
Over the long weekend Barack Obama made the claim that if he was allowed to run for a third term he would have defeated Donald Trump. Here is more:
President Obama suggested in an exit interview with his former top adviser that, had he been able to run, he could have won a third term in the White House.
Describing his confidence in an America that is “tolerant” and “full of energy,” Obama said: “I am confident in this vision because I’m confident that … if I had run again and articulated it, I think I could’ve mobilized a majority of the American people to rally behind it.”
Needless to say Donald Trump took exception:
“He should say that but I say NO WAY!”
But Barack Obama defended his comment:
“I know that in conversations that I’ve had with people around the country, even some people who disagreed with me, they would say the vision, the direction that you point towards is the right one,” Obama told Axelrod, defending his assertion.
The voters had a choice between continuing Barack Obama’s agenda by voting for Hillary Clinton–who was basically running on the promise of continuing Barack Obama’s agenda–or moving in a different direction and they chose the latter.
Merry Christmas Everybody!
Merry Christmas to you all out there in America’s Watchtower-land! I hope you all have a wonderful day and a Happy New Year as well.

In keeping with an America’s Watchtower tradition I give you a song called “Merry Christmas Everybody” as performed live by The Cure way back in 1987.

It looks as if the left has created a “birther” controversy of its own. I was not sure if this story was a spoof or not but it appears not to be sarcasm. In a Politico story entitled, get this, “Trump’s driver’s license casts doubt on height claims” the left-leaning website–which was revealed to be submitting stories to Hillary Clinton for approval before publishing them during the campaign–has learned that Donald Trump is actually an inch shorter than he claims to be.
Here is the shocking revelation:
Donald Trump and his doctor claim he’s 6-foot-3, but his New York driver’s license says he’s actually an inch shorter.
A copy of Trump’s license, obtained by POLITICO through an open-records request, lists the president-elect at 6-foot-2.
It may just be an inch, but size apparently matters to Trump. A letter that the businessman candidate displayed this summer from his longtime gastroenterologist — while appearing on the Dr. Oz show — stated he was 6-foot-3, though media reports were quick to point out discrepancies.
So why would Donald Trump lie about his height? The left has a theory and it has to do with his weight:

Harry Reid throws Debbie Wasserman Schultz under the bus
While most of the Democratic party and the mainstream media are blaming everyone from the FBI, the CIA, Russia, and racist white males for Hillary Clinton’s loss while refusing to look in the mirror Harry Reid–of all people–seems to have had a moment of clarity. He is blaming the Democratic National Committee’s lack of focus on the states as the problem, and by this he is in turn laying the blame on Debbie Wasserman Schultz.
Here is more:
Outgoing Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid took a dig at the Democratic National Committee (DNC), calling it a “worthless” organization that does not sufficiently help the state parties.
“I believe one of the failures of [the] Democratic Party has been the Democratic National Committee, the DNC, has been worthless,” Reid told Nevada Public Radio.
“They do nothing to help state parties. That should be the main goal they have. I developed everything in Nevada on my own. Their help was relatively meaningless.”
In an apparent jab at Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL), Reid said he hopes the DNC picks a “full time” chair.
“We need a full time DNC chair and what they should do — they can take my model if they want — it’s not rocket science. It doesn’t take a lot of brain power to figure out what needs to be done,” Reid said. “They should take a few states every election cycle, maybe three maybe four, and help them develop the infrastructure for good state party organization.”
The Democratic party seemed to have forgotten there was this little thing called the Electoral College and it cost them the election. I happen to believe Harry Reid is right about this; the Democratic party had a bad strategy if they had one at all.
It is interesting that a man who is a political novice who ran a campaign with political novices seemed to understand how the system worked better than the establishment Democrats did. Harry Reid realizes this now, will the Democratic party take his advice or will they continue to blame everyone else for their failure?

Harry Reid defends his ‘fake news’ story about Mitt Romney’s taxes: ‘I did what was necessary’
“Fake news” is in the news quite a bit in the wake of Hillary Clinton’s defeat, so much so that Facebook is going to use a bunch of left-leaning fact-checkers to flag news it deems to be questionable. But “fake news” is not new to elections; we all remember when Harry Reid made up a story about how Mitt Romney did not pay any taxes several years ago. You may also remember that he defended it back then by saying it was up to Mitt Romney to prove him wrong–in other words Mitt Romney was guilty until proven innocent.
Today Harry Reid was called out by a reporter who basically asked if he was responsible for the rise in “fake news” because the “brazen lie” he made up about Mitt Romney, here is how he responded:
“[T]here were no brazen lies. What I said is the truth. Mitt Romney refused, and has still refused to release his tax returns. … I did what was necessary.
Did you notice how he changed the narrative? He said it was the truth that Mitt Romney refused to release his tax returns and he is right about that, however the question was about his claim that Mitt Romney did not pay taxes and as far as we know that is not the truth. A subtle little diversion which was not followed up on.
So when somebody like Harry Reid makes up a story it is not “fake news” but rather “doing what was necessary.” In other words anything goes when it comes to stopping a Republican. I wonder if the pizzagate guy can use the same excuse because I am sure he thought he was doing what was necessary…

Barack Obama fired a top scientist to advance global warming agenda
For years we have been told that global warming is settled science because 97% of scientists agree that it is real (a number Barack Obama magically transformed into 99.5% just over one year ago) however that number, as I wrote about in this post, is based on a lie.
The origin of the “97 percent” statistic has been traced back to a 2009 study by University of Illinois/Chicago graduate student Kendall Zimmerman, who sent a survey to 10,257 earth scientists asking them two questions:
“When compared with pre-1800s levels, do you think that mean global temperatures have generally risen, fallen, or remained relatively constant?” and
“Do you think human activity is a significant contributing factor in changing mean global temperatures?”
Eighty-two percent of the 3,146 scientists who completed the survey (a 30.7% response rate) answered “yes” to question 2.
So only 30.7% of the scientists who were surveyed bothered to answer the survey and of that 30.7% only 82% answered yes to the question of global warming being man-made, so where does the 97% number come from?
That figure included 75 of the 79 individuals (97.4%) who self-identified themselves as climate scientists.
The survey was sent to over 10,000 scientists and out of that group 79 of those who bothered to answer the survey identified themselves as climate scientists, and out of that number 75 of them said global warming was man-made. So it turns out for all the hoopla this whole notion that 97% of scientists believe global warming is man-made we are taking the word of 75 scientists out of a total of over 10,000 scientists.
But now we are learning there is a high price to be paid by scientists if they do not go along to get along with the Obama regime’s radical global warming agenda. They get fired and/or intimidated:
