Yes, the following heading should be an embarrassment to the media in the manner in which they are describing years of people committing treason. They need to read the Constitution.

Voters: Yeah, Obama broke the law with ‘Russiagate,’ must be prosecuted

A majority of voters believe former President Barack Obama‘s national security team schemed and lied in pushing the false “Russiagate” scandal to undermine the legitimate election of President Donald Trump, and now want them prosecuted for it.

In the latest Rasmussen Reports survey shared with Secrets, 54% of likely voters said it is likely that Team Obama “committed serious crimes in manipulating intelligence.” Only 41% of respondents disagreed.A.I. Gives Traders "3-Day Warning," Could Transform Stock Portfolios

And even more respondents, 69%, demanded that those involved be “held accountable.”

The new poll was conducted after Trump’s national intelligence director, Tulsi Gabbard, reported that Obama and his staff allegedly played a huge role in ginning up the scandal that Russia influenced and manipulated the 2016 election of Trump over the media’s choice, Hillary Clinton.

That new report has led to speculation that Obama and his national security team could be criminally prosecuted.

It turns out that America is on board with that move. Just 21% of respondents disagreed with punishing those involved.

Eighty-six percent of Republicans, 59% of Democrats, and 62% of unaffiliated voters at least somewhat agree with the Gabbard quote about how important it is ‘that people who perpetrate such crimes are held accountable,’” the Rasmussen analysis said.

The survey is the latest to show that the scandal won’t just go away. It dogged Trump’s first term, and MAGA voters remain mad about that and want revenge.

(How many years have the Democrats been scheming to find a crime that fits President Trump – 12 years – while committing these crimes against the people/President Trump – and spending taxpayer funds to commit these crimes. And, there are people who still think nothing of them committing these crimes. This tells you – there are a lot of people who don’t have much reasoning power. That is scary.)

For those of us paying attention, what hasn’t made sense for the past nine years suddenly becomes clear. Looking back at the photo of Obama sitting next to Donald Trump on Inauguration Day 2017, fully aware of what he had set in motion, it’s a chilling reminder of what a dangerous threat Barack Obama truly is to America.

Barack Obama sees himself as a historic transformational figure sent to fundamentally change a nation with a paternalistic history, a “fatally flawed” Constitution, racist culture, and economic system that needed revision — by him.

That’s why it must have been a shock when Hillary Clinton lost the 2016 election to a billionaire businessman whose worldview opposed everything Barack stood for during his eight years, “waking up every morning in a house … built by slaves.”

Imagine thinking so highly of yourself and then having your successor be so widely rejected.

By choosing Donald Trump, the American public rejected Obama’s vision, which likely bruised his fragile ego. For Obama, Trump’s victory probably felt like a complete rejection of everything the community organizer had achieved during his two terms of trying to transform a constitutional republic into a Marxist state.

Now, nine years after that harsh blow of rejection, America learns that before and after the 2016 election, the world’s most thin-skinned egomaniac and his team of malevolent enforcers believed it was in the country’s best interest to protect their distorted view of democracy by making false accusations against the newly elected president.

Seeing himself as “… the one we’ve been waiting for,” it’s alleged that the former president suppressed the truth to support a story he and his entire cabinet knew was false. If cerebrally-challenged “tea baggers” chose Donald Trump in 2016, who better than Barack Obama to fix the mistake? Regardless of what that involved.

‘I Will Do Everything In My Power’: When Donald Trump Telegraphed Russian Interference In The 2016 Election During The Primary Debates

View on Watch

And so, the self-proclaimed champion of “democracy” resolved to do whatever it took to undermine a democratically elected president.

In the lead-up to 2016, the intelligence community repeatedly assessed and reported that Russia was “probably not trying … to influence the election by using cyber means.”

Then, on Dec. 7, 2016, about a month after Trump successfully secured the victory and after Obama was revived with a strong dose of smelling salts, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper delivered some terrible news. Despite Obama believing Russia would be the fall guy, Clapper’s message proved otherwise.

“Foreign adversaries did not use cyberattacks on election infrastructure to alter the U.S. Presidential election outcome,” he reported.

In other words, the election results showed that America did not want another round of Obama dressed in a pantsuit.

After processing the information, it took 48 hours for President Obama’s White House to strategize how to handle the disappointing turn of events.

The former president gathered his top National Security Council members for a meeting. The group included key figures like Clapper, CIA director John Brennan, National Security Advisor Susan Rice, Secretary of State John Kerry, Attorney General Loretta Lynch, Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe, and several other Trump-hating officials.

The topic was to discuss the Russia issue and figure out how to turn it into a problem.

In a follow-up to that meeting, Clapper’s executive assistant was instructed to send an email. The message was addressed to leaders in the intelligence community, instructing them “per the President’s request” to develop a more acceptable assessment that outlines the “tools Moscow used and actions it took to influence the 2016 election.”

That kind of directive is similar to Obama creating a “more acceptable” short-form birth certificate after his original long form mysteriously went missing.

The email went on to say, “ODNI will lead this effort with participation from CIA, FBI, NSA, and DHS.”

Translation: Russia’s level of involvement in the election is unacceptable to Obama. Therefore, the team must craft a more suitable assessment that conveys what Obama wants it to communicate. So, even if that conclusion was a blatant lie, on behalf of upholding democracy, the CIA, FBI, NSA, and DHS agreed that the democratic thing to do was to subvert democracy.

Confident that the usual allies would obey the president’s orders, Obama officials then leaked false information to media outlets hostile to Trump, claiming, “Russia has attempted through cyber means to interfere in, if not actively influence, the outcome of an election.”

Barack Obama likely felt justified in casting doubt on Donald Trump’s presidency, while also straining U.S. relations with a world leader Obama had come to despise almost as much as he despises Trump.

Early enough to cast doubt on Inauguration Day on Jan. 20, 2017, a new Obama-approved intelligence community assessment was released that directly contradicted the findings from the previous six months. According to Trump’s Department of National Intelligence Director, Tulsi Gabbard, these newer, more Obama-approved findings were based on information that, even at the time, was considered non-credible.

According to Gabbard, to delegitimize Trump’s victory, what was released to the public led to prolonged investigations, Congressional impeachment proceedings, arrests, innocent people being jailed, and “heightened Russia tensions.” Money and time were spent, reputations and lives were ruined, years were lost, and tense U.S.-Russian relations emerged, but all of this was a small price to pay, in his own mind, for Obama’s ego to be vindicated.

That’s why it’s easy to believe that during Trump’s first term, Barack Obama was probably working behind the scenes to destabilize the new president and ensure that, no matter what “tea baggers”-turned-MAGA voters decided in 2020, the Trump presidency wouldn’t get a second chance.

And so, perhaps even illegally, a substandard candidate was hand-picked and installed in office in 2020. After Joe Biden was sworn in in 2021, every Obama policy initiative that Americans rejected in 2016 was reinstated and heightened. Obama’s choice was not only a figurehead who could be manipulated, but also an embarrassing presence on the world stage.

President Barack Obama’s fingerprints were everywhere, and Biden’s term in office felt as if a sledgehammer was behind the scenes, crushing the very soul of this nation.

For those of us paying attention, what hasn’t made sense for the past nine years suddenly becomes clear. Looking back at the photo of Obama sitting next to Donald Trump on Inauguration Day 2017, fully aware of what he had set in motion, it’s a chilling reminder of what a dangerous threat Barack Obama truly is to America.

KOMMONSENTSJANE – “You Raise Us Up More Than We Can Be.”

07/28/2025

A very interesting article by one of our local former lady reporters, Verna Benham, for the Daily Times. I always enjoyed and miss her reporting.

****

A night of hope was held by Gateway Fellowship Church on Wed…

‘You raise us up more than we can be’

  • Verna Benham
  • Jul 21, 2025

“When troubles come, and my heart burdened be, then I am still and wait here in the silence — until you come and sit awhile with me. You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains. You raise me up to walk on stormy seas. I am strong when I am on your shoulders. You raise me up to more than I can be.”

I don’t know if composers of this song had a spiritual meaning in mind; for me, it speaks to a lifetime walk with God that far surpasses expectations. A piano/organ duet arrangement, majestic with the huge organ of our church, came to mind for a Sunday offertory. As our organist and I played it, thoughts of Jane Ragsdale gave it even greater meaning.

Jane was among those lost in the flooding of our Guadalupe River, beloved in our community for her caring leadership of the Heart O’ the Hills girls’ camp.

Nothing about Jane was ever prideful or boastful — yet she did so much, so well. Her deep relationship with God showed in her simple, unpretentious manner, approaching whatever task with a joyful smile. I hope the message of this offertory spoke to Jane’s life experience: “This is what I was put on Earth to do. You raised me up to more than I could be!”

Jane loved Hill Country life — sharing beautiful photos on Facebook: springtime blossoms, sunsets, the clouds, the river, deer and other critters. Life was full and good. Music meant much to her, always — our church choir. For us, it was like losing family. “Oh no, oh no, not Jane!” I imagine so many have felt that lately — not those wide-eyed, beautiful young children; not that wonderful, young family. Gone. The losses have been gut-wrenching.

Another song, the Shaker tune, “Simple Gifts,” speaks to us: “When true simplicity is gained, to bow and to bend we shan’t be ashamed. To turn, turn will be our delight — till by turning, turning we come round right.” Bowing and bending might seem offensive in today’s culture, taught to resist authority. And how can we think of God as loving, in the face of what just has happened? There are times in life when we’re haunted by such questions.

Encountering abject, grinding poverty for the first time in Bolivia, I raged at God, “How can you stand this?” Or evil, such as bombing civilians to bits in Ukraine. “Can’t you just zap Putin?” These are serious questions about what God is like, how he allowed the world he made to include great suffering and great evil, and how much he intervenes or does not intervene. Ultimately, these are mysteries beyond our comprehension.

Yet, we need to believe, “God is great, God is good.” If not, all is lost.

Those who refuse to believe that God and goodness exist become cynical about humanity as well. Without foundational morality and purposes worth striving for, life degenerates to “Dog eat dog.” But, is desiring to believe wishful thinking, or is there truth to validate it? We glimpse answers.

Once, in a Sunday School class, this question was posed: “What if, getting up each morning, you knew that nothing could possibly go wrong — ever?” Contemplating that, one lady said, “We wouldn’t grow,” another that “It takes the bite out of life, it would be utterly boring.” (That makes me wonder about Heaven!)

Clearly, our lives on Earth contain both great joy and excruciating agony — God’s tough love? Where is he in all of this? Another insight gathered from experience — alongside us, suffering with us.

Reasoning is inadequate; it takes a leap of faith to believe in God’s goodness, trusting our lives to him. But it’s OK to keep asking tough questions. As we look back, we may discern God’s fine hand working for good amidst great tragedy. Instead of complaining or blaming, perhaps we need to be part of the answer.

Many are sacrificially helping now — and we need to watch over them. It’s not only dangerous on the job; an Ingram fireman died later at home, possibly from overwork and anguish.

Back to Jane, she lived in Argentina for a while, writing for Buenos Aires’ leading newspaper, La Prensa, became fluent in Spanish, loved the culture and people. Years later, she launched a mission to some of the “poorest of the poor” — in Guayabales, a tiny village of Guatemala. Teams from our church joined others working to provide a solar-powered water system, electricity, a school, other basics — each year expanding, a new project. This year, a retired ophthalmologist brought eye care to Guayabales and several surrounding villages. Jane was always central as organizer, troubleshooter, coping with suspicious officials asking why so much equipment for a remote spot?

Lastly, a fun memory: A long table of us “gringos” sat in a Mexican restaurant on Mexico’s holiday, Cinco de Mayo. From all appearances, we were unlikely to know Spanish, but Jane knew many of us did.

“Wouldn’t it be fun to surprise them with a Mexican song?”

She printed out words to “Cielito Lindo” passed down the table. We were particularly boisterous on the chorus: “Ay ay ay ay! Canta and no llore, porque cantando se alegran Cielito Lindo los corazones.” I don’t know if “Cielito Lindo” describes a beautiful lady — the words translate “beautiful little sky or heaven.” (Interestingly, in Chinese, a person without reverence or spirituality is described as, “He has no sky.”) The rest translates easily: “Sing and don’t cry, because singing makes hearts become happy.” How appropriate — the very thing Jane would be likely to say — or sing — to us now, as we miss her so — “Canta y no llore!”

KOMMONSENTSJANE – Do Not Insult the Intelligence of the American People!

07/28/2025

Jeffrey Mark Goldberg (born 1965) is an American journalist who is the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic. During his nine years at The Atlantic before becoming editor, Goldberg became known for his coverage of foreign affairs. He moderated the PBS program Washington Week (rebranded as Washington Week with The Atlantic) beginning in August 2023, while continuing as The Atlantic‘s editor.

****

Mr. Goldberg has had several run-ins with President Trump through the years with FAKE stories. This is just another “hit and miss.” How do people live with themselves. Mr. Goldberg is an experienced person in life and has chosen the left to serve his purpose. Only Mr. Goldberg can tell who “illegally” opened the door to slip into this highly classified conversation. He knew where and what he was doing by immediately withdrawing and then reporting his intentional sabotage.

My opinion – the internet is not a safe place for this type of discussion. There is nothing ever “confidential” with the type of people who are running the internet.

‘Do Not Insult The Intelligence Of The American People!’: When Michael Bennet Lost It On Trump’s CIA Director Over Pete Hegseth’s Signal Chat Leaks

During a Senate Intelligence Committee hearing held on March 25, 2025, Senator Michael Bennet (D-CO) harshly lambasted Trump’s CIA Director John Ratcliffe over Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s disastrous Signal group chat leaks. Bennet shouted at Ratcliffe, “it’s an embarrassment, you need to do better!”

****

Senator Bennet needs to review the definition of “RESPECT” and learn how to employ it in order to better manage his meetings. CIA Director Ratcliffe was his guest, after all?

KOMMONSENTSJANE – Historic Poll Devastates Democrats: Worst Voter Approval Rating in 35 Years.

Historic Poll Devastates Democrats: Worst Voter Approval Rating in 35 Years

 By C. Douglas Golden  July 26, 2025 at 5:00am

If you’ve been paying attention to the news lately, you must be thinking that the Democrats are cruising to a 2026 midterm bonanza.

After all, we’ve got that “MAGA civil war” over the Iran attacks. (Except that kind of went away once the Iran attacks went well.) Now we have “MAGA civil war” over the Epstein files. (Which will probably go away now that the Trump administration is making transparency on the dead sex trafficker and financier a priority.)

And, of course, you have that Big Beautiful Bill, which — we were all reliably informed — was going to kill millions — if not billions or even trillions — of seniors instantly the moment it was passed because of health care cuts. (Haven’t seen the data on that yet, but when have the Democrats ever been wrong when they’ve fallen back on shrill messaging that fiscal continence and reasonable budgetary priorities mean “people will die?”),

So clearly, now that MAGA is gearing up to fight its own Antietam over foreign policy or Epstein or something (quick organizational question for the civil war thing: How do we tell which side is which when we’re all wearing red caps?) and seniors are dropping dead in the streets because of Donald Trump and the GOP, the Democrats must be doing better than ever, right?

Actually, they’re doing worse than ever. And I don’t mean that in a hyperbolic way: Literally, the Democratic Party is at its lowest point in The Wall Street Journal’s history of party-approval polling, which dates back to 1990.

“Democrats have been hoping that a voter backlash against the president will be powerful enough to restore their majority in the House in next year’s midterm elections, much as it did during Trump’s first term,” the Wall Street Journal said in announcing the results on Friday night.

“But the Journal poll shows that the party hasn’t yet accomplished a needed first step in that plan: persuading voters they can do a better job than Trump’s party.”

Give this much to the Wall Street Journal: They’re nothing if not masters of understatement there. In the strip “Calvin and Hobbes,” Calvin once said that scientists missed the boat on conveying the scope of the big bang by not calling it the “horrendous space kablooie!” In the same way, the WSJ probably should have considered “Horrendous Poll Kablooie!” as its headline.

In a poll of 1,500 registered voters taken between July 16-20, 63 percent of respondents said they held an unfavorable view of the Democratic Party, compared to just 33 percent who held a favorable view.

That 30 percent gap is the highest ever recorded by the publication — and its down nine points since April, when the party had a negative 21 percent gap.

Even in a poll released July 2, 2024 — this was after Biden had proved he was non compos mentis on a debate stage on June 27 but before he actually pulled out of the race because America had figured out with their own eyes that he’d outsourced most of his executive powers to Jill, Hunter, and their retinue — the Democrats only had a minus-20 approval rating.

The Republicans aren’t doing grand, either, with a negative 11 percent approval rating. But that’s hardly a low, particularly in the post-Iraq quagmire era where the rating for the GOP has always been underwater.

The only good piece of news was that, in a hypothetical congressional ballot, voters said they would back a Democrat over a Republican 46 to 43 percent. That’s close to the 2.5 percent margin of error, though — and in 2017, at the same point, the lead was 8 points for the Democrats.

Furthermore, Trump’s approval rating is at 46 percent with 52 percent disapproval — but this is also higher than the 40 percent approval at this point in his first term.

“We were already watching the tide moving out for the Republican Party by this point in 2017, and that’s not where we are today,” said Bill McInturff, a Republican pollster.

“And that’s worth jumping up and down and trying to explain: how much more competitive Trump and the Republicans are today than in 2017.”

The only other good news is that voters disapproved of how Trump was handling some issues — but also felt the alternative would be worse:

In some cases, the disparities are striking. Disapproval of Trump’s handling of inflation outweighs approval by 11 points, and yet the GOP is trusted more than Democrats to handle inflation by 10 points. By 17 points, voters disapprove rather than approve of Trump’s handling of tariffs, and yet Republicans are trusted more than Democrats on the issue by 7 points.

Voters have significant concerns about the centerpiece of Trump’s agenda—his immigration policies—opposing some of his deportation tactics by double-digit numbers. And yet they trust congressional Republicans more than Democrats on immigration by 17 points and on handling illegal immigration by 24 points.

A Democratic pollster who worked on the survey said that it was because his party had lost the ability to be credible opposition.

“The Democratic brand is so bad that they don’t have the credibility to be a critic of Trump or the Republican Party,” John Anzalone said.

“Until they reconnect with real voters and working people on who they’re for and what their economic message is, they’re going to have problems.”

Of course, maybe it’s the fact that people remember who caused a lot of these problems in the first place — and who told them, in the run-up to the 2024 election, that they’d never had it so good, they just didn’t know it.

And then there’s the shifting electorate. Remember that old phrase “demographics is destiny” — the idea that the changing racial and age makeup of the United States meant we’d invariably become more Democratic? You don’t hear that anymore, because a funny thing happened on the way to assuming people vote based on the color of their skin or their country of origin:

At about this point in 2017, more voters called themselves Democrats than Republicans by 6 percentage points in Journal polling. The Democratic tilt meant that many Republicans, in a sense, were running uphill even before they started, depending on the makeup of their House district.

Now, more voters identify as Republicans than as Democrats, a significant change in the structure of the electorate—and a rarity in politics. Republicans last year built their first durable lead in more than three decades in party identification, and they have maintained that lead today. In the new Journal survey, more voters identify as Republicans than as Democrats by 1 percentage point, and the GOP led by 4 points in the April poll.

While I don’t see a granular breakdown here, we’ve seen too many other polls that show the GOP’s broader base for this to be a non-issue. It’s almost like two decades and change of Democrats effectively telling America “if you’re young, you’re non-white, or female, shut up and vote for us, we’ll give you free stuff and make the old white patriarchy pay” somehow wasn’t a winning message. I can’t imagine how.

And by the way — generally speaking, in the Journal’s poll, at this point the opposition party to the White House should be on the upswing. It shouldn’t be trending downward like Peloton stock after the stay-at-home orders were lifted, which is basically what the Democratic Party approval graph looks like right now. And yet, we’re told that the GOP is in disarray, and Trump’s base is splintering over [insert issue here], and the Democrats are poised to take control once our civil war gets underway in earnest.

Meanwhile, when they’re not fighting the possibility of Zohran Mamdani being the face of the party for the foreseeable future, they’re fighting the lowest approval numbers they’ve ever seen. Let’s hope the horrendous poll kablooie turns out to be the horrendous midterm kablooie, as well.
