President Obama is the gift that keeps on giving as he prepares to pack his bags and turn the Oval Office over to Donald Trump: unfortunately, the people he’s giving to are enemies of America.
Obama, along with many post-election liberals, has adopted a bizarrely hypocritical outlook on the nation’s relations with Russia and Iran. While he regards the former as a mortal threat to the US on par with its Soviet predecessor, he fails to see anything wrong with the behavior of the latter despite the fact that it enjoys cozy relations with the Russians. In fact, the two countries are cooperating with each other to fight anti-Assad forces in Syria, making it even harder to separate one from the other.
So while the president and his leftist cheerleaders fearmonger about a resurgent Russia, they turn a blind eye to a rising Iran.

RICO ACT, and TREASON
As Donald Trump flees the United States and leaves the explosive scandal-ridden White House behind, his hopes of being seen better abroad are likely to be dashed rather quickly. According to a new report by Reuters, world leaders have already dismissed Trump as a “laughing stock” and described his administration as a complete “circus” so far.
Trump’s tumultuous last two weeks—from firing his FBI director to allegedly sharing highly classified information with Russian officials even as a formidable special counsel was being named to investigate his campaign team’s possible collusion with the Kremlin—has [foreign leaders] still confused about his foreign policy. But now they are more appalled than afraid of the man with whom they have no choice but to partner.
The good news is that American allies aren’t necessarily scared of Trump, though that is certainly a factor. Instead, world leaders appear to be viewing Trump as more of a slow-motion train wreck brought up by his “clownish nature” and lack of knowledge and experience.
“People are less worried than they were six weeks ago, less afraid,” one German official said, according to the report. “Now they see the clownish nature.” Politico Magazine cited another person saying, “People here think Trump is a laughingstock.”
“The dominant reaction to Trump right now is mockery,” Jacob Heilbrunn, the editor of the conservative journal the National Interest, told the meeting at the German Foreign Office here while moderating a panel on Trump’s foreign policy that dealt heavily on the difficulty of divining an actual policy amid the spectacle. Heilbrunn, whose publication hosted Trump’s inaugural foreign policy speech in Washington during last year’s campaign, used the ‘L’ word too.
“The Trump administration is becoming an international laughingstock.” Michael Werz, a German expert from the liberal U.S. think tank Center for American Progress, agreed, adding he was struck by “how rapidly the American brand is depreciating over the last 20 weeks.”
Counterterrorism expert Malcolm Nance touched on this Saturday in an interview with Reuters.
What we’re seeing right now is the United States being viewed by the rest of the world as the clown show. But I think, on the other hand, the reason that it’s less dangerous than six weeks ago is because they also see the brilliant, just absolutely brilliant, checks and balances the founding fathers put into place now coming into motion, and they feel that the president will now be given some guardrails that he’s never had before.
In other words, Trump has failed so miserably so quickly that the world views him as a weak, incapable cartoon character, not an all-powerful leader who will be able to bully and strong-arm other countries into doing what he wants them to do.
The United States may be happy to have a temporary reprieve from this president, but Trump should think again if he feels overseas trips will bring him into friendly territory.
Let’s set the record straight on this uranium deal, OK?
President Donald Trump repeated an incorrect claim on Thursday that Hillary Clinton gave Russia 20 percent of the United States’ uranium while serving as secretary of State.
The fact-checking website PolitiFact has determined that statement, which Trump first made on the campaign trail, is mostly false.
“We had Hillary Clinton give Russia 20 percent of the uranium in our country. You know what uranium is, right? It’s a thing called nuclear weapons and other things. Like lots of things are done with uranium, including some bad things,” Trump said during a press conference.
The claim isn’t true. Between 2009 and 2013, Russia’s atomic energy agency, Rosatom, purchased a majority stake in a Canadian company called Uranium One, The New York Times reported in 2015. The Toronto-based firm’s mining assets in Wyoming, Utah and elsewhere in the United States account for about 20 percent of U.S. uranium production capacity, according to the Times.
PolitiFact pointed out that 20 percent of uranium capacity is different from 20 percent of existing uranium. Moreover, the State Department was one of nine government agencies that had to sign off on the deals. Other federal and state regulators also had to approve them.
Clinton was the nation’s top diplomat when the sales took place, and the Obama administration was still trying to reset relations with Moscow at the time, PolitiFact noted.
However, Clinton did not represent the State Department on the panel of agency officials who approve deals such as the Uranium One transaction. The representative at the time, former Assistant Secretary Jose Fernandez, told the Times, “Mrs. Clinton never intervened with me on any C.F.I.U.S. matter,” referring to the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States.
The national security question raised by the transaction at the time centered on whether it would make the United States reliant on foreign sources of uranium, not on the proliferation of nuclear weapons, the Times reported. The United States and Russia had exchanged enriched and raw uranium for years, according to the Times.
when IS THE Justice Department going to recognize these as the crimes they are and indict them?
Why am I NOT surprised!
You got quite the imagination or else you are on cocaine not sure which but keep spinning the checker lol!!!
Who has Russian ties??????
It is also fact that Hillary did sign off knowing the Uranium was going to Russia, she also strong armed all other agencies to sign off! Anyone who thinks and agency weather Fed, or State that would go against the Clintons and the Obamas wouldn’t face their path are just blind, ignorant, stupid or all 3!
