Maybe you did not read the announcement. So I will mention the latest story about the New York subway. The New York mayor was pleased to announcement that Manhatten's Second Ave Line will be opening in the first month of 2017. It was noted that the announcement was met with approval by those patrons on the east side because they will, for the first time, be served by the subway system. I found it interesting that this is the first phase of the project, and I would like to add the following comment. Apparently, the project was first proposed in 1920, and there was no mention of when the next phase will be completed. Also, the cost of this first phase of the project was 4.5 billion dollars for the 2 miles of subway. For those of you that are interested, please note that the cost per inch of the subway project was approximately $35,511 per inch. This looks like it is another example New York city's fine on-time and under-budget city government at work.

Racist college professors
Damon Sajnani will be teaching a class at the University of Wisconsin at Madison this next semester which in the overview of the class implies that all white people are racist. If someone tried to put a class into any college in the nation which described itself as intended to explore the racist black population in America, they would be run out of the town on a rail, and justly so. However, in the super 'liberal' colleges it appears that anyone can call any white person a racist or make racial slurs against whites with impunity. I am disgusted with the blatant double standard that is constantly applied. Whites can be demeaned but not even a whisper about racist blacks is allowed.

An Article by Sandy Fitzgerald
The United States could have killed a key United Nations
resolution that condemned Israel for its West Bank settlements by voting
against it rather than abstaining, former U.S.
Ambassador John Bolton said Friday night, but he thinks President Barack Obama
took the action to "box the incoming Trump administration in."
"This was a stab in the back against the Israelis,"
Bolton told Fox
News' "Hannity" show Friday night. "It was entirely
predictable. I would say this for people in the pro-Israel community in the
United States who defended Obama's Middle East policy over these last eight
years: You should have seen this coming and this is what you get for supporting
Barack Obama."
Obama has had a contentious relationship with Israel Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu over the years, Bolton conceded, but he thinks the
administration's decision to abstain from the UN vote on Friday goes deeper
than that.
"I think this was an effort to box the in-coming Trump
administration in, and it violates nearly 50 years of American bipartisan
policy on the Middle East, going back to the iconic resolution 242 after the
1967 war."
The proposed resolution says Israel's occupation is
"illegitimate," said Bolton, and "therefore it has no land to
give back in exchange for peace. Contrary to what the Obama administration has
said, this puts a huge thumb on the scale against Israel."
Further, Bolton said, the consequences of the revolution will be
felt for many years in negative ways for both Israel and the United States.
There has been a great deal of bipartisan pushback against the
decision to abstain from the resolution, but Bolton said it was "entirely
foreseeable" that Obama took the action he did.
And even with the resolution, there is "not a chance"
Israel will quit developing in the West Bank region, and "nor should
they,"s aid Bolton.
"I do think, contrary to what Obama says, this is the death
now of the two-state solution," Bolton said. "It shows once again
it's fundamentally unworkable, and I think Netanyahu and a nearly unanimous
Israeli opinion will support him on that."
When it come to the United States, he continued, "it's time
to stand up for principle."
"I've certainly advocated for a long time, which is votes in
the united nations should have consequences," said Bolton. "We've got
two issues here, the 14 countries that voted in favor of the resolution and the
United Nations as a whole."
Bolton continued that he'd recommend that Trump call the
resolution "illegitimate" and say the United States will try to
repeal it, and if that fails, cut the U.S. contribution to the UN.

A bad tenant?
Obama is setting up a new tradition for leaving the White
House. He is acting just the same as any no-class hateful renter who is evicted
from a rental home. The most base of renters will go out of their way to
destroy the landlord’s property when they are evicted. Some of the things that I have heard that
low-class renters have done is to dump cement into the toilet and take other
measures to stop up all of the plumbing fixtures. I have heard of them throwing
ink all over the carpet, and purposely causing thousands of dollars of water
damage. They knock holes in the walls and break window as well.
Obama’s actions in the last weeks of his presidency rival
those of any low-class renter that I have ever heard of. He has gone out of his
way to destroy Israel’s position by instructing our U.N. representative to
allow a measure to pass which is in total conflict with all previous American
policies. It is my opinion that he has decided that it is no longer necessary
to make even a hint of an effort to hide his hatred for Jews and especially his
hatred for Israel.
Since Donald Trump has won the election, Obama has been in
panic to issue as many executive orders as he can manage with the express
purpose of leaving Trump with as big of a mess to clean up as is humanly
possible. Most of the dung that he is spreading can be undone by Trump via the
same vehicle, executive actions, but the purpose can’t be undone. It will
detract Trump from putting all of his attention into doing the best job for the
American public. Obama is making a mighty effort to torpedo Trump’s presidency.
If it is not clearly obvious to you, I will spell it out so that there is no
mistake. Obama does not care one iota how much damage he does or how much his
actions may hurt America. His goal is to spitefully hinder Trump in any way
possible!
This is exactly the type of actions which one should expect
from a third-rate dictator-want-to-be who was totally unable to work with
anyone in the Republican Party or even someone who had a different opinion
about anything. Obama’s solution for everything was to play third-world
dictator and listen to no one that disagreed with him. Thank God we will be rid
of him soon. Goodbye Obama, and good riddance. I hope that your legacy is placed in the
toilet where it belongs.Friday, December 23, 2016
Is this more Obama and Demcrat lies?
Obama and the Democrat leadership will do anything to diminish the Trump administration. In my opinion, this latest accusation regarding Russia is simply an attempt to diminish Trump's victory and also to try to tarnish Trump's image by implying that Trump is in some kind of anti-America conspiracy with President Putin.
Fact: The DNC emails were hacked by some one.
Fact: The emails were made public by WikiLeaks.
Fact: The emails leaked presented Hillary and the DNC as deceitful and dishonest.
Fact: The information in the emails was true.
Allegation, probably untrue: Obama is accusing Russia for the hacking.
In the spirit of presenting FACTS, I have included an excerpt from a recent article quoting President Putin.
MOSCOW — Russian President Vladimir Putin has a message for the White House and Democratic leaders who accuse him of stealing their candidate’s victory: Don’t be sore losers.
Fact: The DNC emails were hacked by some one.

MOSCOW — Russian President Vladimir Putin has a message for the White House and Democratic leaders who accuse him of stealing their candidate’s victory: Don’t be sore losers.
That was how Putin answered a question Friday at his nationally
televised annual news conference about whether Russia interfered in the U.S.
presidential election in favor of Donald Trump.
The Democrats “are losing on all fronts and looking
elsewhere for things to blame,” he told the nearly 1,400 journalists packed
into a Moscow convention hall for the nearly four-hour event. “In my view,
this, how shall I say it, degrades their own dignity. You have to know how to
lose with dignity.”
The Kremlin leader — who also sent an upbeat letter to
Trump last week that the president-elect revealed Friday — pointed out that
Republicans had won the House and Senate, as well.
“Did we do that, too?” he asked with a slight grin.
(Reuters) To chide the Democratic leadership, Putin invoked the
U.S. president he occasionally mentions as someone he admires. He appears to
seek favorable comparison to Franklin D. Roosevelt, America’s longest-serving
head of state, because of his own efforts to help Russia prosper after the
ruinous depression that followed the Soviet Union’s demise.
“Outstanding figures in American history from the ranks
of the Democratic Party would likely be turning in their graves. Roosevelt
certainly would be,” Putin told the journalists.
“Trump understood the mood of the people and kept going
until the end, when nobody believed in him,” Putin said, adding with another
wry smile, “except for you and me.”
Trump’s transition team said Friday that Putin had sent a
letter Dec. 15 wishing the president-elect a merry Christmas and conveying a
desire “to take real steps to restore the framework of bilateral cooperation in
different areas as well as bring our level of collaboration on the
international scene to a qualitatively new level.”
“A very nice letter from Vladimir Putin; his thoughts are
so correct,” Trump’s transition team quoted the president-elect as saying. “I
hope both sides are able to live up to these thoughts, and we do not have to
travel an alternate path.”
The Russian leader has repeatedly denied involvement in the U.S. election despite
the accusations from the White House, and the Kremlin has questioned the
evidence for the claims. On Friday, Putin borrowed some of Trump’s dismissive
rhetoric, remarking, “Maybe it was someone lying on the couch who did it.”

More deceit
The men who wrote our constitution never imagined that the political representatives in America would ever be so unethical as the democrats leadership has become. The founders had integrity and morals and it is easy to understand that they assumed that American politics would have it also. Our founders were wrong. The leadership in the democratic party is demonstrating a total lack of integrity, and a total immersion in devious conduct in a win-at-any-cost attempt to undermine the presidential election results. They are stating that the electors have no obligation to vote the will of the voters in their state. They are utilizing the alleged hacking of the DNC emails by the Russians as a red herring to propose that the electors should 'correct' the election results. First of all, there is an assumption that the Russians were responsible for hacking the DNC emails. There is no proof that this is true. The only thing known is that someone hacked the DNC emails. Then there is the assertion by the democrats that the revealing of the emails caused Hillary to lose the election. There is no way to ever prove or disprove that assertion. Based on these two assertions, which are probably both incorrect, the democrats now claim that the electors should 'vote their conscience'. The information revealed in the hacked emails was all true!!! The democrats are simply angry that the voters found out the truth about their biased views. The democrats are not really concerned about any of the hacking. They are simply looking for any means to illegally steal the election.

Democrats want to throw out democracy
For the last month, the democrats have complained, whined, and tried every maneuver conceivable to try to delegitimize Donald Trump's victory. There were 538 electors chosen as a result of the election, and the electors are required to vote for the candidate that received the most popular votes in their state. Donald Trump won 306 electoral votes because the people in the states voted for Trump. Now the democrats have employed the entire leftist media to try to subvert the republican victory by asserting that the electoral electors should ignore the will of the voters and elect anyone that they want when they cast the electoral votes next week. The democrats are now saying that the 538 people in the electoral college should ignore the results of the presidential election and choose anyone that they want.
To make this crystal-clear, what the democrats are pushing for is to totally ignore the November election results. They are claiming that the electors in the electoral college can, and should, vote for anyone that they want for the office of president. The democrats are pushing to discard the democratic election process and to elect the president based strictly on the will of the 538 electors in the electoral college. This is tantamount to discarding the whole idea of any democratic process in choosing the president. There does not appear to be any limit to how low the democrat leadership will sink to win using any and all means available. If they are unsuccessful, what do you think they will try next? Perhaps, they can lead a revolution to take over by force!
