GERMANY-US-INDUSTRY-GOVERNMENT-DIPLOMACY

12/03/2024

Wonder why Merkel came to America to sell her book? As we expected – she praised Obama and had a few choice words for President Trump. Since Obama has been further down-graded in the eyes of the citizens, I guess he was trying to make himself feel more important since a lot of “whizz banging” is going on with how Obama, Clooney, and Pelosi cleaned the clock with Biden and wound up the laughing person to run.

We have recently found out Obama which he calls them “his folks” are working for Biden in the White House and therefore has skin in the game with Bidenomics which they can’t explain where the debit dollars were directed. No wonder he was working so hard in the Harris failed campaign for her to win and continue having a spike in the White House.

Thank goodness, the citizens were smart enough to see thru their bag of tricks.

Obama scolds heckler but stays silent on state of Democrats in return to spotlight

Obama scolds heckler but stays silent on state of Democrats in return to spotlight

Former President Barack Obama avoided referencing Democrats’ bruising election defeats during a forum with former German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

The pair’s conversation at the Anthem in Washington, D.C., on Monday marked the first time Obama stepped into the spotlight since Vice President Kamala Harris lost the election to President-elect Donald Trump. At one point, the former president was forced to respond to a heckler in a moment reminiscent of his time on the campaign trail.

Obama campaigned for Harris this fall, at one point chastising black men for their lack of enthusiasm for the vice president. However, he avoided making any overt references to the election during his appearance on Monday evening. His silence comes as some Democrats, including Obama’s own former homeland security secretary, have argued his influence over the party is fading.

Instead of discussing how the Democratic Party could move forward after losing the White House and Senate, Obama reflected upon what inspired him to enter politics and questioned Merkel about her career as a German lawmaker.

The pair’s conversation, which centered on Merkel’s new book, Freedom: Memories 1954-2021, had to be paused when a disrupter in the crowd shouted at Obama, trying to ask him a question near the end of the event.

“People came to listen to Angela Merkel and not you, young lady,” he said. “You can organize your own event, and people can come to listen to you and your questions. But right now, they’re here to listen to Angela Merkel, so be respectful.

Obama’s retorts were enough to drown out the heckler, for which he was applauded, but it was clear the former president grew frustrated with the interruption.

Obama was president during a portion of Merkel’s tenure as Germany’s leader. The pair reflected on their experiences getting into politics during the event.

“I wasn’t raised in a political family, and it wasn’t a focus of my attention. Basically, nothing was a focus of my attention during high school, other than basketball and girls and fun,” Obama said, later saying that “the path was a little bit winding for me; trying to bring about change came first, and then politics was just one possible means of doing it.” 

Merkel dwelt on the challenges she felt she faced as a woman in German politics. 

“When I entered politics and was a candidate for the chancellorship, I realized rather quickly that there was a reservation. People thought, ‘Will a woman be able to do that?’” she reminisced. 

Although Merkel also worked with Trump during his first term in office and offered a scathing review of him in her new book, she, like Obama, avoided mentioning Trump.

Obama did make several subtle references to the current political environment in the U.S. 

“Unfortunately, our politics doesn’t always … partly because of changes in media, you don’t have a common conversation,” he said. “It becomes harder and harder, I think, for people to feel that they can reach out and be curious about others.”

“I think that so much of the challenge that we have now in our politics is, how do we get people to feel as if they are genuinely heard, genuinely seen, genuinely respected?” Obama added. 

(Obama doesn’t seem to understand – respect is earned not freely given as he expects.)

KOMMONSENTSJANE – George Clooney feels ‘duped’ by Barack Obama, new report claims ‘he’s not going to be anyone’s… (Water Boy?).

Did Obama leave Clooney holding the empty bag of tricks?

Clooney reportedly feels betrayed by Obama for not supporting him after he publicly criticized Biden’s fitness following Trump’s election win.

In a provocative op-ed, George Clooney questioned President Joe Biden‘s health and cognitive abilities, just before the 81-year-old ended his campaign for the 2024 election and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris.

Now that President-elect Donald Trump has secured the White House, sources suggest Clooney feels a sense of abandonment from former President Barack Obama, who allegedly encouraged the Ocean’s Eleven star to speak out about Biden’s fitness for office.

Clooney feels abandoned post-election

According to OK! Magazine, a source told National Enquirer, “George is furious with Obama for disappearing after the election disaster and leaving him holding the bag for pushing the plan with his Hollywood pals.”

The insider continued, “Obama and Clooney have been tight for years, and George became Barack’s surrogate in leading the charge for Joe to step away. Barack knew he would look like a traitor if he publicly called for Joe to be cut loose. And now, he’s trying to walk away from it all.”

****

How can he walk away – Obama has what is called “his people working in the Biden White House,” according to the news. Was he planning on another four years with Harris?

Just wondering.

KOMMONSENTSJANE – The left has the “Hoof and Mouth Disease.”

12/03/2024

Google keeps throwing the block on this site – isn’t that against the law?

The left thought they had everything under control until our Knight in Shining Armor came to our recue and gave |America equal footing. Now the left is hobbling along trying to regain their footing since the American people let them know that – we are not taking it any longer.

Now we have a leader(s) who is working for the people and not for themselves.

The Democrats – Pelosi/Obama/ can go fly a kite with the lefty media.

Elon Musk Destroys MSM Puppet with a Scathing Reality Check—Liberal Media in Meltdown!

The mainstream media, often seen as the mouthpiece of the Democratic agenda, was left reeling when Donald Trump decisively defeated Kamala Harris in the presidential election. Despite their relentless efforts to paint a different picture, Trump’s victory was a clear message from the American people rejecting the liberal narrative. This outcome starkly highlighted how disconnected and irrelevant these media elites have become, as they failed to grasp the pulse of everyday Americans who are tired of being overlooked.

“I hate this damn debate about, like, ‘Oh, we don’t need the media,’” the Axios CEO said, later arguing that, for journalists, “Everything we do is under fire. Elon Musk sits on Twitter every day, or X today, saying, like, ‘We are the media! You are the media!’ My message to Elon Musk is: ‘Bulls—. You’re not the media.”

“You having a blue checkmark, a Twitter handle, and 300 words of cleverness doesn’t make you a reporter any more than me looking at your head and seeing that you have a brain and telling you I have an awesome set of tools makes me a damn neurosurgeon, right? Like, what we do, what journalists do, what you did in Mississippi, what Al Jazeera does in the Middle East.”

VandeHei then appeared to call out Musk again, “You proclaim yourself to be a reporter? Like, that’s nonsense. Like, being a reporter is hard, really hard. You have to care. You have to do the hard work. You have to get up every single day and say, ‘I want to get to the closest approximation of the truth without any fear, without any favoritism.’ You don’t do that by popping off on Twitter. You don’t do that by having an opinion. You do it by doing the hard work.”

Musk Hit A Nerve

Elon Musk’s assertion that “You are the media now,” clearly rattled those entrenched in traditional journalism circles. The likes of VandeHei might find themselves in meltdown mode because they realize that their once unchallenged narratives are now scrutinized by a more informed public. Instead of addressing real issues affecting Americans—like the economic struggles exacerbated by Biden-Harris policies—the mainstream media has been preoccupied with vilifying Trump.

Their refusal to acknowledge their diminishing influence only solidifies Musk’s point: it’s time for citizens to take control of the narrative and demand accountability from those who claim to report facts without bias. The era where elite gatekeepers dictate what is newsworthy is fading fast.

KOMMONSENTSJANE – Tom Homan Pledges Aggressive Action on Border Crisis

12/02/2024

Wonder if the One World Order/George Soros’ son who had an office in the Biden White House and was arranging for all of the immigrants will lose his office space?

Former ICE Director Tom Homan, set to become the border czar for President-elect Donald Trump, is wasting no time outlining his vision for tackling the border crisis. In a recent interview on Hannity, Homan laid out an ambitious plan to address what he calls the consequences of “four years of disastrous open-border policies” under the Biden administration.

Speaking with former Trump advisor Kellyanne Conway, Homan pledged to investigate foreign governments, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and even United Nations agencies that have allegedly contributed to the unprecedented surge of migrants at the southern border.

“We’re not just going to address what’s happening at the border—we’re going to find out who’s behind it,” Homan said. “From NGOs facilitating illegal crossings to foreign nations complicit in pushing this crisis, they will be held accountable.”

Although Trump’s second term doesn’t officially begin until January 20th, Homan revealed that efforts to secure the southern border have already commenced. He has been in close communication with Texas Governor Greg Abbott, coordinating strategies to reinforce border security measures.

“We’re working hand-in-hand with Texas,” Homan said. “We’re going to show the American people that we’re serious about fixing this crisis from day one.

Homan’s remarks underscore the Trump administration’s intention to immediately reverse Biden-era policies, such as halting the construction of the border wall and loosening immigration enforcement.

Homan singled out NGOs as key contributors to the migrant influx, accusing them of exploiting loopholes in U.S. immigration laws and aiding illegal crossings. He also criticized foreign governments for facilitating caravans and encouraging mass migration toward the United States.

“America’s sovereignty is non-negotiable,” Homan declared. “We will investigate every entity, foreign or domestic, that has played a role in undermining our laws.”

Homan: “Governor Abbott and I are not waiting until January 20th. I’ve been out in Texas. We’re already meeting and planning how we can work together to help Texas secure their border at the highest level ever.

He’s done a great job. Illegal migration in Texas is down 86% because he has implemented many of Trump’s policies. He’s building border barriers like President Trump did, adding consequences for those who cross the border illegally, and arresting them for trespassing.”

People need to understand the Department of Public Safety (DPS) has done a lot. Not only is the government taking action to protect Texas, but they are also protecting the United States because most of these illegal aliens aren’t staying in Texas; they are moving across the country.

Every ounce of fentanyl intercepted means fewer overdose deaths. Every person arrested for trespassing is one less “gotaway.” They are fingerprinted, vetted, and at least we know they’re not terrorists. We’re going to follow this model across the Southwest border.

Homan highlighted Texas as the blueprint for a nationwide strategy. He plans to contract out non-enforcement work, such as transportation and administrative duties, to free up officers for frontline deportation operations.

Homan: “My plan, which I’ve been very vocal about, is to contract out as much work as we can—work that doesn’t require a badge and a gun—because I need badges and guns on the street for deportation operations.

For example, transportation, whether it’s buses, ground, or air, as well as processing and administrative duties, should be contracted out. Right now, we have officers doing that work. I want to get them out of those administrative roles and onto the streets.

If these sanctuary states and cities keep pushing back, I’ll deploy extra resources and double manpower in those areas. When we can’t arrest someone in jail with one agent, it means we have to send a whole team out into the field to find that person, which increases risk.

This is the plan we’re putting together. Governor Abbott was the first to come to the table, and I accepted, shook his hand, and said, “Let’s go. Let’s move forward.””

Homan slammed the Biden administration’s immigration policies, accusing them of creating a humanitarian crisis.

He also revealed Trump’s administration’s intent to dig deeper into the forces behind the crisis.

The Gateway Pundit previously reported that the House Judiciary GOP has exposed what they call an “open-borders alliance” between the Biden-Harris Administration and United Nations bureaucrats that uses U.S. taxpayer dollars to enable illegal immigration.

The findings reveal that at least $81.7 million in taxpayer funds have been allocated to foreign nationals employed by the U.N., who advise migrants on ways to enter the United States.

This funding has established “migration centers” across Central and South America, facilitating nearly 70,000 aliens with potential resettlement options in the U.S.

According to the report, since 2021, the Biden-Harris Administration has overseen the release of nearly 5.8 million illegal immigrants into the U.S., with an additional 1.9 million entering as “gotaways” who evaded apprehension entirely.

The GOP committee argues that these numbers illustrate an administration bent on dismantling border security. Instead of fixing the problem, the administration has created a workaround through the Safe Mobility Initiative—a program designed to “avoid the optics of border crossings” by coordinating with U.N. agents in 13 Central and South American cities.

Kellyanne Conway: Tom Homan, you were a great colleague during the first Trump administration. You were one of the first appointees President Trump named because he takes border security very seriously.

When I interviewed you for Here’s the Deal on Fox Nation, you made it clear that Biden and Harris are the first administration in a long time not to secure the border. Why would a commander-in-chief take steps to leave the border unsecured?

Tom Homan:
Biden is the first president in history to intentionally leave the border unsecured—not because of mismanagement or incompetence, but by design. They want an open border because they believe these millions of people will be future Democratic voters.

Biden overturned the Trump census rule, which means people in sanctuary cities will be counted in the next census. This translates to more House seats for Democrats.

When the Trump team returns on January 20th, we’ll take control and hold people accountable. We’ll investigate what the United Nations had to do with this crisis, who in the Biden administration enabled it, and which NGOs were involved. We’ll be transparent and tell the American people the truth about this border crisis.

While Homan’s plans resonate with Trump supporters, they’re certain to face opposition from immigration advocates and global organizations. Critics argue that targeting NGOs and foreign governments risks escalating international tensions.

Nonetheless, Homan remains resolute. “This is about protecting American citizens and restoring the rule of law,” he said. “We’re ready to fight for our country.”

As the Trump administration prepares to take the reins, all eyes will be on how this bold approach unfolds.
