The Onion Suggests a Trump Response to Saudi Journalist Disappearance

Background: Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi is presumed dead. Last seen 2 October visiting the Saudi Consulate in Turkey. #FakeNews CNN and #Failing NY Times report anonymous sources as saying Kashoggi was tortured and murdered during an interrogation. Many in the media are demanding President Trump take action against Saudi Arabia without proof. Isn't this how America gets into trouble internationally meddling and interfering in another country's politics?

FakeNews from LA Times on AT&T's Acquisition of Time Warner?

So the LA Times is reporting AT&T's purchase of Time Warner is being held up by a petty Donald Trump who is holding up the deal because he does not like CNN. See AT&T says it will not sell CNN despite pressure from Trump's Justice Department for more details.

Only problem is their logic fails to meet the sniff test.

Anecdotally, AT&T's purchase of Time Warner started drawing more attention from from the Justice Department's Anti-Trust department right after President Trump's nominee was approved, so that does seem suspicious. Moreover, the basis of the DOJ's challenge appears arbitrary (never has the the DOJ imposed divestiture of an asset as a condition of antitrust approval) and contrary (an antitrust block to a vertical transactions would be unprecedented) and therefore, generally without merit.

Superficially then, one might assume that because President Trump is no fan of CNN and Time Warner is CNN's parent corporation, a petty President Trump could be meddling in the acquisition via his DOJ appointment because he does not like CNN.

Except that AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson is a Trump supporter, who might conceivably put pressure on CNN to be more Trump friendly. So why would President Trump object to AT&T purchasing #FakeNews CNN?

Philosophically, it makes much more sense that #DeepState operatives within the DOJ are trying to undermine President Trump by their groundless interference.

That, to me, makes much more sense.

Members of the 4th Estate used to take pride in their independence, their cherished and respected role in America's political system to ensure the Representatives of We the People actually represented our interests. All these miscreants are shamefully in bed with one of the most dishonest, vile candidates ever. Worse they slander her opponents, both Democrats and the Republicans, substituting their will for the will of the people.

Charlie Kirk on Socialism

Charlie Kirk commenting on Socialism, from the video below:

"Socialism in general is much more about hating the rich than helping the poor. They hate success. At the core of a leftist is a horribly unhappy, narcissistic, self-interested person that was never able to make any sort of success for themselves in the real world. Because of that, they spite those that attain that which they could never do themselves. And so they would rather watch the world burn than create a better place. They would rather tell us to live our life that they see fit in the utopian society than improve the life of themselves."

Liberals hate walls yet live in gated communities.
Liberals hate guns yet walk around with armed guards.
Liberals hate school choice yet they send their kids to private schools.
Leftists want to tell YOU how to live and do something different entirely themselves.

Stupid Pelosi Partisan Pet Tricks

The left's senile figure head in the House of Representatives has been making a lot of truly ridiculous statements lately, such as:

• "It's almost a false argument to say we have a spending problem."
• "You cannot cut your way to deficit reduction."
• "Unemployment benefits are creating jobs faster than practically any other program."
• "We should only deport illegal aliens if the do something illegal."
• "Employers cutting hours is a good thing, it gives that person time to pursue their dreams and passions."
• "Think of an economy where poeple could be an artist or a photographer or a writer without worrying about keeping their day job in order to have health insurance."
• "Hamas is a humanitarian organization."
• "Every month that we do not have an economic recovery package 500 million Americans lose their jobs."
• "I don't think [Obama's] ever done anything for political reasons."
• "Everybody will have lower rates, better quality, and better access."
• "ObamaCare is lowering costs and the deficit."
• "I don't remember saying that everybody in the country would have a lower premium."
• "But we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it, away from the fog of the controversy."
• "Sincerity is the most important thing in acting. Once yo can fake that you've got it made."
• "I believe in natural gas as a clean, cheap alternative to fossil fuels."
• "Being the first woman speaker and breaking the marble ceiling is pretty important. Now it's time to move on."

It is well past time for Pelosi and other senile Democrats and Republicans, think McCain, to retire.

President Trump Gives Congress An Incentive to Repeal and Replace ObamaCare

White House Press Secretary released the following statement on 12 October 2017:

"Based on guidance from the Department of Justice, the Department of Health and Human Services has concluded that there is no appropriation for cost-sharing reduction payments to insurance companies under Obamacare. In light of this analysis, the Government cannot lawfully make the cost-sharing reduction payments. The United States House of Representatives sued the previous administration in Federal court for making these payments without such an appropriation, and the court agreed that the payments were not lawful. The bailout of insurance companies through these unlawful payments is yet another example of how the previous administration abused taxpayer dollars and skirted the law to prop up a broken system. Congress needs to repeal and replace the disastrous Obamacare law and provide real relief to the American people."

Some are saying this is a clear sign of President Trump's intent to expedite the demise of ObamaCare. Still the decision is not surprising as some providers have already increased their rates in anticipation of this order based upon a court rulings last year. Some background:

May 2016 the U.S. House of Representatives prevailed in its case against the Department of Health And Human Services when the court ruled the Obama administration had been improperly subsidizing ObamaCare with cost-sharing reduction payments.

So far during the first year of President Trump's first term, Congress has failed to deliver on its campaign promises and President Trump's oft stated intention to Repeal and Replace ObamaCare. The statement above is most likely a move by President Trump' to incentivise Congress to do their job as cancellation of further the cost-sharing reduction payments will most likely expedite the inevitable self-implosion and failure of ObamaCare.

Okay before you castigate President Trump or the GOP for following the law, you must remember a few background facts.

• First, America became mired in the swamp known as ObamaCare because Obama and the Democrats schemed and maneuvered to dubiously enact ObamaCare into being almost entirely, except for a single Republican vote, along party lines.
• Second, Obama and the Democrats lied en masse about the benefits of ObamaCare with numerous if you like your doctor, healthcare plan lies.
• Third, the most likely purpose Obama and his deep state minions had in making the unlawful cost-sharing reduction payments to insurance companies is because the payments had the effect subsidizing insurance company losses which in turn kept premiums artificially depressed thereby increasing public acceptance of his dubious legislation and failing presidency.
• Fourth, Obama mis-appropriated funds from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to make the unlawful cost-sharing reduction payments to insurance companies.

The only thing Trump has done is follow the law.

Nota Bene: It is quite possible that there are numerous crimes implicated in this Obama Administration fiasco, to wit:

The Antideficiency Act prohibits federal employees from:

• making or authorizing an expenditure from, or creating or authorizing an obligation under, any appropriation or fund in excess of the amount available in the appropriation or fund unless authorized by law. 31 U.S.C. § 1341(a)(1)(A).
• involving the government in any obligation to pay money before funds have been appropriated for that purpose, unless otherwise allowed by law. 31 U.S.C. § 1341(a)(1)(B).
• accepting voluntary services for the United States, or employing personal services not authorized by law, except in cases of emergency involving the safety of human life or the protection of property. 31 U.S.C. § 1342.
• making obligations or expenditures in excess of an apportionment or reapportionment, or in excess of the amount permitted by agency regulations. 31 U.S.C. § 1517(a).

Federal employees who violate the Antideficiency Act are subject to two types of sanctions: administrative and penal. Employees may be subject to appropriate administrative discipline including, when circumstances warrant, suspension from duty without pay or removal from office. In addition, employees may also be subject to fines, imprisonment, or both.

Nuclear Option Karma

November 21, 2013 the Senate votes, at the urging of then Senate Leader and all time obstructionist Harry Reid to adopt the Nuclear Option, which is a change to Senate procedural rules reduce the number of votes necessary to override a filibuster from a super majority of 60 votes to a simple majority of 51 votes. Conjecture suggests Democrats want this change to stack the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals which has been historically conservative and one of the least overturn Circuit Courts with liberals so that when the ObamaCare challenge is heard by the court it will rule for ObamaCare. Republicans complain Reid's political hackery will come back to haunt the Democrats, but they approve the procedural change on a partly line vote, claim this is but a minor change because the scope is limited and does not apply to Supreme Court nominees.

King v. Burwell is argued before the 4th Circuit May 2014. The question Burwell asks the court to affirm is whether the clear and specific language in ObamaCare requires states to implement an ObamaCare exchange as a prerequisite for its residents to receive ObamaCare subsidies as thirty-eight Attorney's General believe it does and the lower court who originally ruled that it does. The big problem for Obama and liberals is if the lower court's ruling is upheld, this will render ObamaCare even more useless than it already is. Liberals counter argument rides on the interpretation of a collateral statement that most everyone else says is of little consequence. It is a vague ambiguous statement liberals are blindly holding onto because, well the greater good of healthcare is at stake. Because of Harry Reid's procedural change, the 4th Circuit has been stacked by Obama. Where before conservatives outnumbered liberals, the tide has turned and now liberals outnumber conservatives. Just as Reid had hoped, the newly reformed court reverses the lower ruling upholding the clear plain language. Harry Reid is smiling, convinced this Nuclear Option has been achieved its goal of protecting ObamaCare. Meanwhile Republicans are mad as hell.

Justice Roberts comes through for Obama once again as the Supreme Court upholds the 4th Circuits reversal. Charitably some say Justice Roberts votes on ObamaCare cases were cast as a way to protect the Supreme Court from the backlash of an unfavorable ruling. Less charitable folks, the author herein included, call Roberts a coward and a traitor.

February 13, 2016 Justice Antonin Scalia's dies unexpectedly. Conservatives are extremely worried. Obama has a little under 9 months left before the end of his reign of Muslim / liberal extremism and the cornerstone conservative of the Supreme Court needs to be replaced. Obama previous nominees have been partisan liberal hacks, intellectually vapid. Another liberal will tip the court liberal for at least a generation, perhaps two. Two months later Obama nominates Chief Judge Merrick Garland from the DC US Court of Appeals. With just a bit under seven months remaining in Obama's tenure, liberals push hard for the Senate to hold confirmation hearings for Judge Garland. Vice President Joe Biden demands the Senate hold confirmation hearings and claims Republican obstructionism is unprecedented. Uncle Joe completely forgets his speech saying President Bush should not offer a nominee during an election year saying the right belongs to the next president.

Fast forward to President Trump's election and Trump's nomination of Judge Neal Gorsuch to the Supreme Court to replace Justice Scalia. Democrats are in a tizzy, they are mad as the dickens at Hillary's loss, they are mad at the Senate Democrats for failing to get Merrick's nomination to the Senate floor for discussion, and they are threatening to block Judge Gorsuch's nomination even though the Senate had recently unanimously confirmed Gorsuch to the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals. Saying liberals like Chuckie Schumer, Fauxcahontas Liz Warren, comedian Al Franken and others are hypocrites to challenge Judge Gorsuch's nomination now, Senate Republicans threaten to extend Reid's Nuclear Option to Supreme Court nominations.

As all this played out across the news, conservatives were concerned mealy mouthed Senator Mitch McConnell who had caved to numerous liberal demands while he was the Minority Leader would continue to cave to liberal demands and they are afraid he will buckle under the liberal's onslaught and cave to liberal' demands to shelve the extension of the Nuclear Option to Supreme Court nominees as reparations for Conservatives blocking Obama's nominee Merrick Garland.

Rumors swirl. Mitch will cave. No he will not, Yes, he will. In the end, Mitch rises to the occasion and delivers Gorsuch's confirmation.

Ain't Karma grand?

You Have A Right To Be Offended With Regularity

Professor Mike Adams, UNC Wilmington, provides an awesome counter point to the far more prevalent liberal Fascist Political Correctness poisoning young minds across America's liberal college campuses.

"Let’s get something straight right now. You have no right to be unoffended. You have a right to be offended with regularity. It is the price you pay for living in a free society. If you don’t understand that you are confused and dangerously so. In part, I blame your high school teachers for failing to teach you basic civics before you got your diploma."

Portland Killer A Far Left Loon

The left rushed to label the Portland Killer Jeremy Joseph Christian a Trump supporter and a member of the #AltRight. Problem is, he is very much a liberal. An original Bernie supporter he hated both #Hildabeest and President Trump.

Here is an excellent recounting of all of the left's #FakeNews surrounding the killer:

The media has abdicated its responsibility vís-a-vís the objective reporting and is instead trying to bring about the demise of America with their #FakeNews lies.

Political Correctness is Fascism Pretending to be Manners

I find it ironic that liberals are worried about a Trump presidency, some even going so far as to suggest his tenure will be tantamount to Fascism because of his patriotism, read right-wing nationalism, and espousal of personal accountability, freedoms and libertarian views, read antithetical liberal views. Ironically liberals are completely obtuse to the liberal Fascism of Barack Obama.

Putting aside patriotism for a moment, there is NO difference between a Fascist dictator issuing onerous, oppressive, and authoritarian edicts and Obama making generally false statements supporting liberal ideology and using his evil minion administrative agencies like the IRS, FEC, EPA, and the DOJ to suppress conservatives and force them into alignment with a liberal ideology they oppose.

Such partisanship used to be off-limits. Both sides understood public opinion like a pendulum swings both ways and each side maintained some decorum. Obama, Reid and Pelosi seemed to have changed all that, emboldened they seized on the .

The Hatch act used to be enforced to prevent such collusion, but Obama has purposely circumvented and ignored it just like he did with the Constitution.

Answer: Selfish, Insecure, Immature ... Question: Abstaining or Voting Third Party In a General Election

The extremely poor quality of the presidential candidates from both parties is cause for alarm. Still, there are differences and voters need to inform themselves as the founding fathers always intended and thought they should to participate in their own self governance. This election is especially crucial because a Supreme Court nomination hangs in the balance.

For the 2016 presidential election the absolute wrong choice, in states that could possibly support both candidates, is to either not vote or throw away a vote on a third party candidate because you do not like the standard party alternatives.

Abstaining or voting third party in general elections is akin to:

1. Children on playgrounds taunting their playmates saying if you are not going to play MY game, I am taking MY ball and go home.
2. Liberals seeking out safe spaces because they are fearful or incapable of hearing something discordant to their dreary narrow-minded beliefs.
3. Spoiled, immature people everywhere abstaining from participating because they did not get their way.

In my opinion, all of the above are the same, they are dull witted people cutting off their nose to spite their face. They are throwing out the baby with the bath water. They are denigrating grapes as sour because they cannot reach them (AESOP). Or whatever other old saw you wish to apply to people who fail to understand the consequences of their actions or erroneously believe good intentions are sufficient to inform their actions.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions and those intentions should not be used to guide or evaluate your actions as Milton Friedman sagely opines below.

Yes, there are are exceptions to the rule and there are times when it is appropriate to do abstain or vote third party candidates, but the situation MUST be assessed before blindly doing so. If for instance you are a Blue State voter in California, go ahead and stay home or vote Libertarian as it is completely a forgone conclusion, for at least the foreseeable future, Cali will vote liberal chic. New York or Maryland are deeply blue as well and the same thought process applies.

Red State voters have the same opportunities to abstain or dispose of their votes in deeply conservative Alabama and Montana. You can generally take your cues from the map of party affiliation below.

To all Gray State voters, you do not have the luxury of alternatives. Please know that your vote counts, that your opinion matters to swing your state conservative or liberal, one way or the other. It is imperative that you participate in the two party election process!

The time to vote your preferences is during the primaries when you cast your vote for the candidates that best compliments or parallels your views, values and beliefs. It is during the primaries that all alternatives should be explored, new ideas and parties championed and discussions held so that voters can arm and inform themselves with the facts.

Personally, I cast my primary ballot for Dr. Rand Paul, but sadly, he is no longer a candidate for president. It is also Rand Paul that I look to for support of this position that voters should participate in the two party selection process we have. Dr. Paul knows that he can make a bigger difference by branding himself a Republican even though it is obvious from everything he says he is a Libertarian. Dr. Paul has already said, and I fully expect him to support, and vote, for his party's nominee even though his views and Trump's views are in some cases diametrically opposed and generally not in sync, because he knows in the long run it further his personal objectives and the countries to support his party.

Look, I get that Trump is a bellicose bully, seemingly unsuited to be president, accordingly I have not been a general advocate for Donald Trump. But I am an American and I am pragmatic. The majority of American's have spoken and unless and until we change our processes, I will abide by them.

Please do not be selfish, insecure, immature or spiteful. Elections have consequences, please participate wisely.

Dirty Harry Reid Is The Real Obstructionist!

The official fiction from miscreant Dirty Harry Reid and Spite House is that the GOP was obstructing Barry Soetoro's judicial nominees so pathetic Democrats were left with no other choice but to exercise the nuclear option. Dirty Harry specifically pointed his crooked finger at Mitch McConnell, hypocritically citing scripture to intimate that McConnell broke his promise to work with the demonic and intractable Democrats.

This despite statements from Senators Barry Soetoro, Dirty Harry Reid, Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton that exercising the nuclear option was a bad idea!

But that is only half of the story. About a month earlier than Dirty Harry's historic, two faced vote to limit filibusters, frustrated with Barry's and Spite House's statements that Benghazi was a phony scandal, reports of indifference from a disengaged commander in chief who went to bed because he had a busy day of fund raising the next day in Las Vegas and disregarded pleas for help from Americans under siege, Senator Lindsey Graham vowed to block all further judicial nominees until Barry and Spite House told the truth about who was responsible for Benghazi!

Seems pretty clear to me that Dirty Harry decided he would protect Barry's lying ways by taking the teeth out of Senator Graham's vow to get Barry and his merry band of liars to tell the truth!

I would like to think that the press would actually do its job and pursue this line of thinking, but sadly, investigative journalists seem few and far between.

Therefore, I think it is time Congress appointed an independent, special counselor to investigate the lying ways of Barry, Harry and other administration officials so we can finally know the truth!

The Truth about the ObamaCare Grandfather Clause

According to a Department of Justice brief filed in the court case Priests for Life, et al. v. U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services, et al. the purpose of the grandfather clause in ObamaCare is:

• In fact, the effect of grandfathering is not really a permanent “exemption,” but rather, over the long term, a transition in the marketplace with respect to several provisions of the ACA, including the preventive services coverage provision.
• Even under the grandfathering provision, it is projected that more group health plans will transition to the requirements under the regulations as time goes on. Defendants have estimated that a majority of group health plans will have lost their grandfather status by the end 2013.

Barry Soetoro never intended to allow people to keep their insurance plans, he always intended that everyone transition from their current plan to ObamaCare! Barry lied each and every time he emphatically uttered those lines about keeping our healthcare plans and doctors. Period!

All the media has to do is report the story. Report the facts that are smacking them in the face if they only pay attention!

All the people have to do is pay attention to the facts slapping their faces each and every day.

It is time slap Barry in face a bit for the lies. It is time to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate the high crimes and misdemeanors of Barry Soetoro!

Who Is Responsible for ObamaCare

ObamaCare, a short history.

• On November 7, 2009 the House passed the Affordable Health Care for America Act
• The Senate started work on H.R. 3590 which was completely different from the House bill, it would be passed and become the Patient Protection Affordable Care Act or ObamaCare
• December 24, 2009 the Senate passes ObamaCare along party lines, not one GOP member voted or supported the offensive bill
• June 2009, during the President’s Weekly address Barry Soetoro said: “If you like the plan you have, you can keep it. If you like the doctor you have, you can keep your doctor, too. The only change you’ll see are falling costs as our reforms take hold."
• Barry made the same promise many times thereafter
• Democrats did everything they could to prevent Republicans from modifying the law in any manner what so ever
• Because the House and Senate bills were different and because all revenue bills must be initiated in the House Rep Nancy Pelosi disingenuously amends a completely separate bill passed by the House prior to the Senate’s version of ObamaCare called the “Service Members Home Ownership Tax Act of 2009” and offers it for amendment
• The house passed the amended version of the previous billed which now matched the Senate version of ObamaCare on March 21, 2010 along strict party lines, not one Republican voted in favor of the misguided law
• Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, a lifelong Democrat, appointed by Barry Soetoro as Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS), oversaw every aspect, development and promulgation of the regulations implementing ObamaCare
• HHS invented ObamaCare waivers for political friends who were happy with their current healthcare insurance policies and did not want to be covered by ObamaCare
• HHS issued over 1,500 waivers to Democratic cronies and unions
• HHS even issued a waiver for Congress who was expressly directed under the law to participate in ObamaCare exchanges
• According to lifelong Democrat and elitist doctor Ezekiel Emanuel, the ObamaCare “grandfather clause” primary purpose was to transition people from private policies to ObamaCare Exchange policies
• In June 2009 HHS published its prediction’s that as many as 70% of all private policies that would be canceled due to ObamaCare policy requirements and the grandfather clause
• in 2010, again solidly along party lines, Democrats rebuffed Republican attempts to modify the "grandfather clause" to reduce the number of policies that would be cancelled
• October 1, 2013, despite knowing that the ObamaCare website was hugely inadequate, extremely fragile and woefully unsecure, Barack Obama gleefully announced the opening of Healthcare.gov, the ObamaCare exchange enrollment website
• October 1 through 16, 2013, the GOP, lead in large part by Senators Ted Cruz, Rand Paul and Mike Lee shutdown the federal government when they objected to passing the 2014 continuing resolution and blindly increasing the debt ceiling
• During the shutdown the House GOP passed several Continuing Resolutions (CDs) which tried to defunObamaCare, Barack Obama, Barry Soetoro, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, Mike Leed all and portions of ObamaCare including revoking the HHS waiver for Congress
• Senator Dirty Harry Reid never let any of the CRs come to a vote in the Senate
• After the shutdown ended Barry admitted that only 6 people were able to enroll on October 1st, far short of the thousands needed to support ObamaCare

It is clear to me that the Democrats completely and totally own ObamaCare. Why are they now blaming Republicans for its manifest failure?

ObamaCare Solution

It should be increasing clear to all paying attention, the website fiasco, the premium increases, the deductible increases, the privacy invasion, the security breaches, the tax increases, the cancellations, and all of the government lies speak to one clear and simple fact: ObamaCare is not the panacea Democrats pretended it was when they enacted the legislation without Republican support and to mediocre, ambivalent and skeptical public support!

The Patient Protection Affordable Care Act started in a cloud of Democratic deception, grotesquely came into focus in contrast to the fraudulent and disingenuous reassurances of Barack Obama and liberal Democrates and now can only be decribed a misguided and disingenuous grab for glory by Democrats that will destroy America. Therefore the only reasonable solution is a full and complete repeal!

The solution for all of America's insurance needs is to remove all state insurance monopolies and establish a free market with some general regulations, but far fewer controls than are now in place, wherein all healthcare insurance providers, including Medicaid and Medicare, may compete across state lines. Let market systems work to the advantage of health care consumers to their natural effect, reasonable prices and reasonable services!

Government regulatory schemes should be in place to protect the unwitting and naïve Americans and to establish policy standards such as coverage for adult children and some reasonable pre-existing condition controls and recommended policy coverages against which all policies can be evaluated and consumed.

As President Clinton has complained over and over again the US pays almost twice what the rest of the world pays for healthcare. With that budget appropriately applied, we should be able to afford insurance for all Americans without the blossoming ObamaCare government bureaucracy and privacy intrusions we are now suffering.

Did Barack Obama Mis-speak or Did He Lie?

One of the fundamental tenants of legal construction is to give words their plain, every day, ordinary meaning. I take note of this because Barry Soetoro, aka Barack Obama is a lawyer and he was an adjunct Constitutional law professor at the University of Chicago. UC must have been pretty hard up to hire an affirmative action beneficiary Harvard schooled lawyer rather than someone who earned it with their intelligence rather than the color of their skin, but I digress.

It is important to take note of this because the plain, every day and ordinary meaning of Barry's statements to the American Medical Association:

• That means no matter how we reform healthcare, we will keep these promises to the American people.
• If you like your doctor, you'll be able to keep your doctor. Period.
• If you like your healthcare plan, you'll be able to keep your healthcare plan. Period.
• No one will take that away.
• No matter what.

do not need parsing, do not need interpretation and definitely do not need explanation. Each of the statements are simple, straight forward and declaratives, evincing a complete thought. They stand alone and when taken together provide a complete explanation and exclude the possibility of intended or implied caveats. Either Barry meant what he said or he did not.

That Barry meant what he said is important because the statements were specifically uttered to induce people to think positively about ObamaCare. The statements were expressly made to calm people's concerns about what would happen to them once Barry’s vaunted, signature program ObamaCare was enacted and started impacting people's lives. And Barry made the statements in some form over and over again to show what a swell guy he was and why people should vote and re-elect him.

Barry made the statements knowingly and with aforethought intention to motivate people to act in a specific way. And now Barry wants to walk them back. Wants to take them back. Wants to explain them in a more favorable light to his needs, definitely not America’s understanding.

To me, and I suspect most people, the statements are powerful. And if they were used in the context mentioned, which I believe they were, there is only one conclusion supported by these facts.

Known liberal leaning Politifact.org said it is a little late for Barry to be changing what he said and awarded Barry its most critical “Pants on Fire” rating for trying to walk these statements back.

Ardent Barry supporter and socialist leaning Washington Post Fact Checker awarded Barry its highest non-truthful rating of 4 Pinocchios for trying to change what everyone clearly understood.

For me, it is much simpler. Barry lied. Period.
