WikiLeaks reveals Obama’s line in the sand. You won’t believe what it is

It turns out that Barack Obama does indeed have a line in the sand – and it’s the WikiLeaks dumps that are battering Hillary Clinton’s campaign, and damaging to his legacy.

In a recent interview with "Meet the Press" anchor Chuck Todd, Joe Biden said that the U.S. would launch a “secret” cyber counter-attack against Russia in retaliation for their hacking into the DNC and other individual email accounts.

That threat may have translated into John Kerry asking Ecuador, which is hosting Julian Assange in their UK embassy, to sever the WikiLeaks head’s Internet connection. Ecuador has announced that it did remove Assange’s access to the web; the State Department has denied involvement.

Because WikiLeaks has numerous back-ups, the cut-off hasn’t slowed the steady release of embarrassing revelations about Clinton and her campaign.

If that is the sum total of Obama’s retaliatory repertoire, it is no wonder the Russians are acting with impunity around the globe.

If Biden is right, President Obama is moved to confront Russia not over hundreds of thousands being slaughtered in Syria – not because of the barrel bombs or chlorine gas – nor over Russia’s takeover of Crimea from Ukraine, with whom we have a security treaty.

He is not inspired by Russia selling a missile defense system to Iran over U.S. opposition, guaranteeing the security of Tehran’s inevitable nuclear program.

He is unmoved by Russian threats to shoot down our airplanes and their attacks on U.S. allies in Syria.

None of those insults and aggressions has moved our president. Instead, he is teed off that the Russians may be the source of embarrassing email leaks – leaks that confirm, for instance, that Obama lied when he said he didn’t know anything about Hillary Clinton’s private email server. (He had been regularly communicating with her via the Clintonemail.com address, using an alias.) Or that his White House did not police Hillary Clinton trolling for dollars from foreign governments while she was Secretary of State.

Well, everyone has a tipping point.

‘To be white is to be racist, period,’ a high school teacher told his class

The lecture at the Norman, Okla., high school was intended to heal the racial divides, a student said. The discussion’s premise: White people are racist. All of them. Following that discussion, an Oklahoma teacher is under fire and a high school is mired in the debate about how teachers should inject themselves into controversial conversations about race in the United States. Norman NBC-affiliate KFOR reported on the controversy last week after receiving a recording from an offended student at Norman North High School. In the recording, the teacher shows a YouTube clip about imperialism. A man in the video uses white-out on a globe to illustrate how European influence spread across the world.

Choice is a luxury Affordable Care Act customers might be lacking in 2017

When enacted in January 2014, the Affordable Care Act was expected to turn the healthcare industry on its head. And in some ways, it certainly has.

As of March 31, there were 11.1 million paying ACA customers. Mind you, this figure doesn't take into account the millions of individuals and families who have benefited from the expansion of Medicaid in 31 out of 50 possible states. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the uninsured rate hit an all-time low of just 9.1% at the end of 2015.

What the data would suggest is that the ACA (or Obamacare, as it's more commonly known) has greatly improved medical access for a large swath of the population -- namely, people with low incomes and pre-existing conditions -- who previously had little chance of obtaining health insurance.
Obamacare fails to live up to its billing

Obamacare has its shortcomings, though. Its expansive requirements for minimum essential benefits were designed to protect the consumer, but they actually wound up causing millions of consumers to lose their pre-Obamacare healthcare plans. This more comprehensive coverage also lifted premium prices.

Meanwhile many insurers, no longer allowed to pick and choose their customers, have been hit by adverse selection. In plainer terms, sicker people who had been shut out of the healthcare system before Obamacare can now buy health insurance, which is leaving insurers with higher medical expenses than expected. For example, UnitedHealth Group (NYSE:UNH), the largest insurer in the country, is on track to lose $500 million this year from its Obamacare plans.

But the biggest concern of all has been premium inflation. It was believed that Obamacare's transparent online marketplace would allow the consumer to make smart purchasing decisions. Furthermore, the risk corridor -- a type of risk-pooling fund that collected money from overly profitable insurers and disbursed those funds to insurers who lost excessive amounts of money by pricing their premiums too low -- was expected to promote competition and help control premium inflation. Neither has had much effect, as consumers are not taking full advantage of the information that's available (many people are re-enrolling every year without comparing plans), and the risk corridor has failed to protect money-losing insurers.

But the above concerns could be peanuts compared to the latest study released by Avalere Health, a Washington, D.C.-based consulting firm.

According to Avalere's analysis of exchange market regions across the country for the 2017 plan year, nearly 36% of consumers are expected to have just one participating insurer offering coverage. Seven states -- Alaska, Alabama, Kansas, North Carolina, South Carolina, Oklahoma, and Wyoming -- are expected to have just a single insurer offering Obamacare coverage in 2017. It's worth pointing out that a single insurer may offer multiple plans, even within a single ACA tier (bronze, silver, gold, and platinum). However, the only plan comparisons that can presumably be made are with the same insurer.

Furthermore, another 19% of consumers are believed to have a choice between just two insurers. The remaining 45% of consumers are forecast to have three or more competing insurers to choose from. In a small number of regions, Avalere says there may be no Obamacare plans offered at all.

How does this compare with 2016? Based on Avalere's research, just 4% of market region consumers had only one insurer to choose from, 29% had two insurers to compare, and 67% had three or more insurers competing. So, over the course of a year, the number of consumers with just a single insurer to choose from will rise 800%.

At the heart of the problem for Obamacare is that insurers are leaving the program en masse. Part of it has to do with the failure of the risk corridor to adequately protect money-losing insurers, while the dynamics of Obamacare are driving other insurers to the sidelines.

For instance, of the 23 healthcare cooperatives approved by Obamacare, 16 have announced that they're closing their doors this year. Healthcare cooperatives are low-cost, consumer-focused options, but practically all co-ops have been losing money. The risk corridor was expected to protect insurers that priced their premiums too low, but a mere $362 million of the $2.87 billion requested was paid out. There are too few overly profitable insurers, so the risk corridor simply didn't get enough funding, dooming more than two-thirds of the low-cost co-ops to failure -- and more co-op closures could be on the way.

Adverse selection appears to be the primary culprit that prompted UnitedHealth, Humana (NYSE:HUM), and Aetna (NYSE:AET) to significantly reduce their Obamacare offerings in the upcoming year. Within the past few months, UnitedHealth Group has announced that it will reduce the number of states in which it offers ACA plans during 2017 to just three from 34 in 2016. UnitedHealth's expected $500 million loss in 2016 from its ACA plans, following a more than $400 million loss from its ACA plans in 2015, compelled it to make the move.


Aetna and Humana, which had been planning to merge, announced their respective plans to pull back on their ACA offerings after federal regulators announced their intentions to block the merger for fear it would reduce competition. The day the Justice Department announced its intentions, Humana told investors it would pull out of at least eight of its 19 current states by 2017. More telling is the fact that Humana is reducing the number of counties in which it offers coverage from 1,351 this year to 156 next year -- a nearly 90% decline. Aetna, for its part, is expected to reduce its county offerings by 69% to just 242 in 2017, and it'll be offering plans in only four states.

With three of the five largest insurers scaling back their ACA offerings and competition falling, it could be extremely difficult for the Affordable Care Act to remain "affordable" in the coming years.

And under this one the USA has never been more humiliated, divided, made a laughing stock, lawless, more corrupt, or in such chaos

Go figure you think that is a good thing.....

Just sayin

One thing "proven" that it does cut down drastically, is peoples rights under the Constitution and their ability to defend themselves and their family from harm by criminals (who don't care what the laws are or if the weapon they possess is licensed, registered, or purchased legally to begin with!).

You may also use the lame excuse that a persons own weapon may be turned against them, but if such was the case odds are that harm or death would have been the intent of the attacker in the 1st place. I would rather have the ability to defend myself and not need it than need it and not have it!

The double headed coin. The people lose the toss either way

At least the last 8 years anyway with the Red Line Kid in office

Before the self designated truth monitor and liberals attack let me state this is only an opinion piece shared for its entertainment value.

If that isn't clear enough I guess they can hide in their safe spaces from fear of my 1st amendment rights foolishly thinking I might abuse my 2nd, the 4th of which they might hope to violate as a result causing me to employ my 5th.

Thanks to my fellow brothers/sisters in arms I can still consider these most precious rights available to employ if ever needed!

Russia’s March to War

Martin D. Weiss, Ph.D. | Monday, October 17, 2016 at 7:30 am

The first time Elisabeth and I visited Russia, we stayed with dear friends in a Soviet-era apartment of St. Petersburgh.

We waited patiently in long lines like everyone else.

And everywhere we went, we thoroughly enjoyed the warm hospitality of a country still mostly enamored with everything American.

But on our most recent visit, all that had changed dramatically.

While strolling along a southern city’s beautiful embankment of the Volga River, one friend asked me, her voice cracking with emotion:

“Why do Americans hate Russians so much?

“Why in the world is Obama providing arms directly to ISIS?

My rudimentary Russian was good enough to understand the questions. But no language seemed good enough to provide simple answers, except to say “it’s not true.”

From there, we went to Zheleznovodsk, a cluster of mineral water spas in the Caucasus Mountains.

Thankfully, everyone abided by the golden rule that health — not politics — was the main topic worthy of discussion.

In the Caucasus of Russia. Countryside beautiful. People very friendly. But any talk of U.S.-Russia relations potentially unpleasant in the extreme.

But there was one exception. Our massage therapist always had his radio tuned to talk shows with nonstop rants on “America’s evil plots to bring Russia down.”

As I soon learned, he didn’t have much choice. All Russian news sources blast out similar “information and analysis” almost around the clock.

It is the most pervasive propaganda machine I have ever studied or experienced in my lifetime.

It engulfs government media, “independent” media and social media. It deploys tens of thousands of individuals who provide personal “testimonials” designed to shock and awe, invoking deep feelings of pity or hatred. It’s in multiple languages, including English. It employs “prominent Western analysts” to tout the same theories and support them with a tirade of stats and “facts.”

It is extremely effective. And it’s downright dangerous. The narrative:

1. Obama is leading a global conspiracy to destroy Russia.

2. Clinton will do exactly the same, or worse.

3. Unless Trump wins, Russia and the United States are headed for war.

Hard to believe they truly see the world this way? Then consider last week’s comments from Russian lawmaker Vladimir Zhirinovsky:

“Americans voting for a president on November 8 must realize that they are voting for peace on Planet Earth if they vote for Trump. But if they vote for Hillary, it’s war. It will be a short movie. There will be Hiroshimas and Nagasakis everywhere.”

Zhirinovsky himself is not considered a particularly believable source in Russia. But thanks to round-the-clock messaging by the media, the anti-Clinton sentiment is almost universal.

All this raises urgent questions for investors: How did U.S.-Russia relations deteriorate so far, so fast? What will be the impact on the global economy and markets? Is war with Russia truly likely?

PC, an economy broken by too many rules, taxes and regulation, bad trade deals costing us higher paying jobs, entitlements to illegals, lawmakers who don't have to live under the laws they create, lack of enforcement to existing laws or selective enforcement, manipulated markets and monetary policy, a corrupt justice system, the lack of morals and ethics in leadership, and the decline of the competitive will by legislation destroying the family value along with the American Dream.....

It affects all, not just black.... or white.... lives!

Our leaders and lawmakers have regulated us away from the values and laws set forth in our founding documents, assumed power they were never meant to possess, and the results are the world of today!

Blame whoever or whatever makes you sleep better at night, but the rule of thumb is to follow the money....

and it's not here at the lower echelons of society where most reside!

It begins with a respect and moral compass for the face in the mirror!

Already was in the 90's...... called NAFTA

Like our Constitution and Bill of Rights hasn't been subverted enough over the last few decades?!

New WikiLeaks Bombshell: Clinton Aides Discussed 'Emails to and from POTUS'

Fox News chief national correspondent Ed Henry reported on the newest bombshell to come out of the hacked emails released by WikiLeaks.

In an email on March 4, 2015 John Podesta - Clinton's campaign chair - wrote to longtime Clinton aide Cheryl Mills: "Think we should hold emails to and from potus? That's the heart of his exec privilege. We could get them to ask for that. They may not care, but I(t) seems like they will."

Henry pointed out why the timing of that message may be significant. One day before, House Benghazi Committee chairman Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) issued a subpoena demanding Clinton preserve her emails and records.

On March 20, 2015 Gowdy demanded that the private email server be turned over to the committee. Henry said that a March 22 email exchange discussed Clinton and President Obama meeting at the White House.

The president has always maintained that he did not know Clinton used a private server while she was secretary of state and that the two rarely communicated by email.

The State Department said today that a small number of work-related emails were not turned over due to executive privilege, Henry reported.

Media To Voters: Drop Dead, We're Getting Hillary Elected

Everybody knew it, and now it's being confirmed by the emails that are being dumped: The media are a wing of the Democratic Party and are doing all they can to rig the election for Hillary Clinton.

A profession that at one time prided itself on the pursuit of evenhanded truth took a turn some time ago. Eventually, the media's mask of objectivity and balance began to slip. Now it's completely off, revealing one ugly mug of bias.

Let's start with the New York Times, that Gray Lady with a heart black with dishonesty. Emails released by WikiLeaks show that Times reporter Mark Leibovich allowed the Clinton campaign to decide which quotations from Clinton that he could and couldn't use in his Times-published work.

Clinton's communications director Jennifer Palmieri closed one email with Leibovich by telling him it was a "pleasure doing business."

Leaked emails: Clinton allies pondered polling in 2008 on rumors about Obama’s cocaine use, his father’s Muslim faith

Political campaigns and super PAC often hire pollsters to survey voters about the potential strengths and weaknesses of an opponent or themselves. Evidence of that type of polling has surfaced in emails hacked from the private account of Hillary Clinton's campaign chairman, John Podesta, and released by the anti-secrecy organization WikiLeaks.

In January 2008, a group of progressive activists, including Podesta, pondered polling voters about rumors involving then-Sen. Barack Obama's cocaine use and about his late father's Muslim faith. The questions were set to be asked as rumors were already swirling that the future president was secretly a Muslim born overseas. Obama has acknowledged experimenting with cocaine and marijuana in his youth.

Clinton and Obama were competing in the Democratic presidential primaries at the time.

Kristi Fuska, a polling analyst with Democratic firm Greenberg Quinlan Rosner Research, sent proposed questions for a telephone survey that would have asked questions about Obama, according to a message released by WikiLeaks. The message, entitled “McCain Survey,” was sent to Podesta and others close to the Clinton campaign, including Paul Begala and Tara McGuinness.

Here are the questions the poll team proposed asking:

* 1 Obama (owe-BAHM-uh) was the only candidate at a recent event not to cover his heart during the national anthem and he has stopped wearing an American flag pin.

* 2 Obama (owe-BAHM-uh) benefited from a land deal from a contributor who has been indicted for corruption.

* 3 Obama (owe-BAHM-uh) would personally negotiate with the leaders of terrorist nations like Iran and North Korea without preconditions.

* 4 Obama (owe-BAHM-uh) voted against allowing people to use handguns to defend themselves against intruders.

* 5 Obama (owe-BAHM-uh) plans to raise taxes by 180 (one hundred and eighty) billion dollars a year to pay for his government-run health care plan

* 6 Obama (owe-BAHM-uh) voted repeatedly against emergency funding bills for U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.

* 7 Obama (owe-BAHM-uh)'s father was a Muslim and Obama grew up among Muslims in the world's most populous Islamic country.

* 8 Obama (owe-BAHM-uh) is ranked as one of the ten most liberal members of the Senate because of his support of issues like gay adoption.

* 13 Obama (owe-BAHM-uh) voted against requiring medical care for aborted fetuses who survive the procedure.

* 14 Obama (owe-BAHM-uh) supports giving driver's licenses to undocumented immigrants.

* 15 Obama (owe-BAHM-uh) described his former use of cocaine as using “a little blow.”

Begala said Friday that the message was sent to members of a group called Progressive Media USA, composed of Clinton and Obama supporters and led at the time by Tom Matzzie, a former director of MoveOn. The group later disbanded.

Like starting the birther issue she blamed on Trump. She also condemned him for other statements he made about BHO. At least we now know where Trump got his ideas from in the 1st place.... thanks to hacks.... or it would never have come out, even if the liberal media had it all along.

It is time someone got to the bottom of everything that people say about Hillary Clinton. Who is she? More importantly, WHAT is she? I have compiled the following timeline of her life by combining all the actual theories about her. When lined up together, they form quite a biography.

Before Time, Before the Earth Was Made, Before Matter and Being and History: Hillary Clinton (Lucifer, Beelzebub, Lord of the Flies, Prince of Darkness, Satan, She Whose Many Names the Cats Scream in the Night) is cast out of heaven for overweening hubris. She is condemned to lie in eternal torment in a lake of fire surrounded by her fallen angels, or, alternatively, to run for a major office while female. For thousands of years she lies outside time, smelling of sulfur, before deciding to undertake the second option.

Oct. 26, 1947: Hillary Clinton, a robot, is constructed by Saul Alinsky, then slipped into a bassinet and delivered to the Rodham house, where it stores its Six Human, Relatable Memories of squeegeeing, family life and honest toil.

Fall 1965: The young Hillary Clinton is replaced by a new model, this one with glasses. It retains only one of the memories, the squeegeeing. It attends Wellesley, where it decorates itself with spectacles and what conservative commentators will later describe as ONE VAST AND HIDEOUS EYEBROW LIKE A CATERPILLAR IN WHICH MANY WELSH MINERS COULD BE TRAPPED AND LOST AS IN A HORRID, THORNY FOREST.

Spring 1969: Hillary Clinton graduates from Wellesley, although first she gets in touch with Alinsky and his mentor, Satan. She fails to mention at the first meeting that she, too, is Satan, and then once they know each other it seems too awkward to bring it up. As a consequence, the Devil mentors Herself for many decades, wasting everyone’s time and effort. She also founds the Islamic State. She will toil for many years in secret on this passion project, keeping it even from Bill, whom she is about to meet. Once, during his presidency, he will ask, “Is there anything I should know about, Hills?” and she will shrug and say, “Nah.” A bit confusingly, she also begins to fight the Islamic State, which she will spend her entire adult life doing.

Fall 1969: At Yale Law School, Hillary meets Bill Clinton, who courts her by staring at her from across the room while their eyes speak the Old, Dead Language of the Darkness Beyond Worlds. She is also a lesbian, who, interestingly, does not let this dissuade her from pursuing numerous heterosexual affairs, for which, although frigid, she has an inexhaustible appetite. It is at this time that she acquires her witch powers (she is also a witch), although her familiar, the cat Socks, will not manifest until the Clinton administration, when she will use him to contact Eleanor Roosevelt.

1969 to present: Hillary accomplishes nothing. Every time she appears to have made progress on a project or contributed to an achievement of any kind, she carefully arranges things in such a way that no one will give her any credit, unless, of course, the thing is negative, in which case she will turn out to be solely responsible.

1975: Bill and Hillary wed. They possess a unique marriage in which both have full and perfect knowledge of the other party’s activities at all times.

1980: Bill Clinton loses the governorship. In consultation with the team of Illuminati, demons and robo-Hitlers who have been supervising Hillary Clinton’s progress thus far, her robotic shell is replaced with another, different one that does not wear glasses and is blonder. The people of Arkansas consider this an improvement, although they complain about its inability to bake.

1992: Bill Clinton is elected president. The era of general prosperity that follows only serves to confirm the fact that Hillary Clinton is the Antichrist (in addition to being a witch, a robot and Satan. Yes, ladies, you can have it all.)

1998: Bill Clinton is impeached. Hillary Clinton goes berserk, throwing lamps, cursing and setting small fires with her eyes. Everyone who wanders into a certain wing of the White House complains of a buzzing sound, like a thousand flies, and a persistent stench of sulfur that will not dissipate. The cat Socks disappears, and the shadowy form of a giant feline in an overcoat is seen stalking the streets near the Treasury before yowling and disappearing into the mist. Beavers attack the cherry blossom trees.

2000: Hillary Clinton is elected senator from New York. Unlike any other senator before or since, she is given a special Deciding Vote that allows her to pass any legislation she wishes (a fact Donald Trump will call attention to during the second debate). Oddly, she chooses never to exercise this power, except to force us into war with Iraq (necessary to support the Islamic State, her pet project). Any reforms or bills that you wanted that did not pass during her years in the Senate were her fault.

2001: Pictures show Rudy Giuliani standing next to Hillary Clinton at ground zero, but he insists years later that she was not there and that he never saw her. This is obviously witchcraft.

2008: Hillary Clinton and her friend invent the birther movement, which Donald Trump will spend the next eight years trying to quash. She loses the presidency to Fellow Antichrist Barack Obama after a secret game of rock/paper/scissors/thousand-razor-sharp-tentacles but is glad for the opportunity to become secretary of state and give her fledgling Islamic State a chance to soar. She has also been murdering people every year — just, like, constantly murdering them — but no one says anything about it since she is female.

2012: Hillary Clinton deliberately orchestrates even MORE murders and treasons this year, most prominently in Benghazi. This is also the year when she pens numerous smoking-gun emails, explaining her deep loathing for the American people, desire to ruin the country, complete incompetence in making deals, deathly illness, inability to get anything done, the fact that everything that has transpired in the United States in her lifetime has been the result of her ingenious and diabolical schemes, and how these statements are not contradictory. Unfortunately, she deletes these VERY carefully.

2013: Hillary Clinton vanishes into hibernation to meditate and shed her lizard-skin. (She is also a lizard-person, in addition to being a Nameless, Timeless Evil.) Just to add difficulty to her next run as president, she decides to cultivate several Very Serious Medical Ailments, including but not limited to at least eight strokes, dropsy and the King’s Evil. This is hard to pull off because she is a robot, but she is committed.

2015: Hillary Clinton resumes her quest for the presidency. First, though, she meets with an International Banking Conglomerate to solidify the plan for the New World Order.

2016: Hillary Clinton wins the Democratic nomination by deliberately suppressing the votes of all Bernie Sanders supporters. Frankly, it is a miracle we even know there WERE such things as Sanders supporters. Also, she orchestrates the murder of Justice Antonin Scalia. She activates a spell cast on Donald Trump decades before at his wedding, which causes everything that comes out of his mouth to sound like the racist, sexist ramblings of a deranged conspiracy theorist. Trump tries valiantly to lay all her activities bare to the American people, but people cannot hear his truth through Hillary Clinton’s powerful cloud of witchcraft, which she uses to summon women everywhere whom he has wronged.

2017: Hillary Clinton takes office. Her first act is to replace the entire Supreme Court with a series of corporations cleverly disguised beneath large robes. She sheds her robot-witch exterior and resumes her beastly form, flying up over the White House, engulfing everything beneath in a deep shadow, and ending the American way of life as we know it.

Everyone was right about her all along.
