Obama gives final national security address
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Closing out two terms as a president at war, Barack Obama staunchly defended his counterterrorism strategy as one that rejected torture, held to American values and avoided large-scale troop deployments, in an implicit effort to shape the strategy his successor might employ.

Obama came to MacDill Air Force Base, home to U.S. Special Operations Command and Central Command, to give his final speech on national security. He delivered a strident argument for his reliance on drone strikes and U.S. commandos rather than ground wars like those launched in Iraq and Afghanistan by his predecessor. Obama emphasized the need for the U.S. to uphold its values by respecting the rights of Muslims and trying terror suspects in civilian courts.

Texas Republican elector says he won’t cast ballot for Trump.

Who does this idiot think he is – he is a representative of the people – he is not representing himself?  These people who take this job and then renege on the people should be thrown out.

This business of having your own personal feelings should be changed and made to fit the purpose which is to represent the people.  It should be mandatory this person represent the people’s vote and if he doesn’t feel like he can do that – he should step aside. and let someone do the job who is representative of the vote.  Sounds like this fellow is just too big for his britches (probably wants a few dollars to change his mind).

President-elect Donald Trump comes to the lobby to speak to members of the media at Trump…

On September 10, 2016, her mask slipping, Hillary Clinton actually called millions of Americans, over whom she wants to rule as president, “a basket of deplorables” whom she characterized as “irredeemable” racists, homophobes and jingoists because they deign to support her opponent, Donald Trump. Those whom Queen Hillary maligned immediately took “Deplorable” as a badge […]

Democrats Attack Trump’s HUD Choice, Ben Carson, As ‘Disturbingly Unqualified’

Did Pelosi and Schumer think Obama was qualified to be the leader of the free world with no prior experience? And, my dears, look at us now!

Why  are the Democratic Communist Party, Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi constantly criticizing every person that Donald Trump has selected to be in his cabinet, especially Ben Carson.  Are they being racists?.

Pelosi and Schumer have to realize that:

“they have to vote on Carson and the others before they can find out what’s in their resume’”.  Isn’t that what Pelosi and Schumer told the American people when they rammed Obamacare down our throats?

For Republicans and conservatives, nothing exemplifies government overreach and arrogance more than those 16 words, uttered by then-Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi at the Legislative Conference for the National Association of Counties in March 2010.

Former Immigration Officer: Many Illegals Can Vote with Fake Documents

A former immigration officer says many illegal aliens can vote in national elections, in part because they can easily buy fake identification documents.

“I probably arrested more than a thousand illegal aliens in my career,” retired ICE Special-Agent-In-Charge Claude Arnold said during an interview with Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly. “I routinely encounter people in possession of voter registration cards… I would ask them, ‘Do you or have you voted?’ And often, I would get the answer, yes,” he said, adding that about 100 illegals told him that they had voted.
Illegals can vote because they can get realistic fake documents, he said.

“The demand is so great for counterfeit documents because the illegal alien population wants to work—that’s the majority of their motivation for wanting to come to this country,” he said. “So there’s…
