A president who lies endorses a person to be
president who has engaged in traitorous
behaviour, is also a proven liar and avowed cook.

Notwithstanding Obama's actions and the Democrat Party watering down their support of Israel, Netanyahu tells Israelis their future remains linked with the U.S. (See 2 below.)

Progressives and Bernie and Hillary supporters believe Americans should support open borders. Perhaps they need to visit Germany and/or speak with Merkel. (See 3 below.)

One of Hillary's charge against Trump is his temperament is ill suited to be president.
I happen to play tennis with a former Secret Service Detail Agent who covered her and her husband and I submit her claim is a case of the pot calling the kettle black. We also have a book that has just been released by another such agent, as well as Ed Klein's book about Hillary's outbursts and stories describing her throwing objects at 'deserving Bilious.'
We also have her own insensitive Benghazi testimony about "what difference does it make?"
I assume what happened to four brave Americans and Hillary's behaviour does resonate with their families.
Hillary is a cold, calculating fish that lies and is untrustworthy and this is not only my view but seems to be the view of 60% of polled Americans.
Just another right wing conspiracy? (See 4 below.)

As Brent Bozell said yesterday, progressives and radicals know rewriting history, in order to brainwash young minds with subtle distortions, taking away free speech and assembly and finally outlawing the means to protect oneself and family from an imperious government, is a threat to the very survival of our Republic.
We also know California jurists are among the most liberal and dangerous. (See 5 below.)

1) Today we witnessed several interesting and unique developments which are historical firsts.
a) A president, who constantly lies, endorsed another person who lies, conducted herself in a traitorous manner and is an avowed crook for president.
b)This same president's Justice Department is investigating this same person and his endorsement was crafted so as to send a subtle message that the department's investigation should not go forth.

Beloved Pragmatist Endorses Warm, Authentic Every woman for President
By Guy Benson
In a development that stuns exactly nobody, President Barack Obama has formally endorsed the presidential campaign of his Secretary of State and 2008 rival Hillary Clinton, upon whom he's counting to carry on his failed legacy. The announcement -- which has been reported as imminent for days and comes shortly after Mrs. Clinton clinched the Democratic Party's nomination -- dropped just after Obama's much-anticipated meeting with Bernie Sanders, who says he's fully committed to helping defeat Donald Trump in the fall. Here's the president's #ImWithHer pitch, which arrives amid reports that he's eager to hit the campaign trail this year, another complete non-surprise. Try to avoid a spit-take when he offers a "testament to her character:"

I also enjoyed the bit where claps Bernie on the back for fighting the "outsized influence of money in our politics" while in the process of enthusiastically embracing this woman. She's gotten immensely wealthy off of the outsized influence Obama (risibly) laments, which is pure posturing from him, to boot. Speaking of Sanders, Justin writes that it appears as though the self-described Socialist, Obama and Hillary are about to become one big happy anti-Trump family:
Warning that a Trump presidency would be a "disaster," the Vermont senator said he would "work as hard as I can to make sure that Donald Trump does not become president of the Untied States." "I look forward to meeting with (Clinton) in the near future to see how we can work together to defeat Donald Trump and to create a government which represents all of us and not just the 1 percent," he added.
Thanks in large measure to intense Republican disgust toward Hillary Clinton, most of the party has rallied to its nominee-in-waiting, despite some unseemly incidents and bumps along the road. That coalescence hasn't happened yet on the Democratic side, which helps explain why polls in some swing states are so close. If and when Obama is able to help heal the Clinton/Sanders schism in relatively short order -- and if and when the entire center-Left links arms in the name of defeating Trump -- it's likely that Clinton will enjoy the sort of post-victory polling boost that Trump did last month. I'll leave you with Mrs. Character telling Fox News' Bret Baier last night that of course herrules-violating, national security-compromising email scandal and resulting lieswon't amount to anything that will hurt her in November. This is the woman Democrats deserve, and they've got her:

1a) Meets With Attorney General Loretta Lynch
Lynch, of course, will ultimately make the decision as to whether Clinton will be prosecuted should the FBI issue an indictment surrounding her use of a private email server to store and transfer top secret, classified information.
In order for Clinton to carry Obama's torch, she has to stay out of prison. In order to do that, she has to avoid prosecution. I'm sure Obama made that very clear to his somewhat new Attorney General.

Dear Mr. Trump:
I post to a web page on a daily basis
(Dick-Meom.blogspot.com) and am enclosing a piece I wrote and posted yesterday (See below.)
I happened to have lunch yesterday with Brent Bozell and we
discussed your campaign strategy and my own recommendations (again see below.)
Your ability to win The White House depends upon how many so
called, independent voters you can get to support you, how many of those who
consider themselves Republicans will stay with you and whether you can attract
any Bernie supporters to offset those who should be yours but will not cast for
you. It is also obvious your message in
the general campaign must change from that which helped you during your
nomination campaign. Recent polls
suggest you are digging a hole for yourself by placing your pique over your
effort to become president.
You have been handed a unique opportunity because you are
running against a liar, traitor and crook and yet, you yourself have serious negatives
that can offset those of your opponent.
How you handle yourself will determine whether you can win because it is
truly yours to lose just as it was for
Romney.
At least you are willing to fight back and I commend you
whereas, Romney, like far too many Republicans are ‘wusses’ and afraid of their
own shadows. What you say in doing so is very critical and, with all due
respect, you need to refocus and, frankly, stop being so pissy fanny.
Memo:
Trump needs to set forth broad policy themes and get away from his pissy fanny personal attacks. He does not have to flesh them out in great detail but he does need to provide some insights so voters can focus on him as a serious candidate and not just a media star phenomenon.
Were I advising him I would tell him to propose the following:
1) Emphasize and connect the need why America must lead from strength and that entails, above all, living within our means and paying down our debt.
2) In this regard I would urge him to:
a) Overhaul the tax code making it simpler and more equitable so he could reduce staffing at the IRS and save on costly worthless spending. This agency has proven to be as corrupt as its tax cheating customers.
b) Take a fine tooth comb and eliminate wasteful spending, duplicate programs and redesign transfer programs for the economically and physically disadvantaged that address their legitimate needs in a positive and not demeaning manner. The word welfare needs to be stricken because is has a negative connotation.
c) Eliminate entire government agencies beginning with the Department of Education and reduce the level of employment and responsibilities in other such departments as Energy, EPA etc. Any worthy programs can be transferred to other agencies.
d) Put The Pentagon on a diet while increasing their funding for new equipment and personnel in order to rebuild our military capability. Bring back senior officers who Obama fired and lift the PC burdens from operational planning.
e) As last measures I would address the illegal immigration issue and offer a path to citizenship with appropriate costs for those who wish to apply and impose fines on employers who hire illegals who do not apply for citizenship. Those who apply would be issued work permits and checked for any criminal behaviour and barred accordingly.
Finally, Obamacare should be reworked in a manner that allows the free market to solve the problems associated with lack of portability and eliminate other restrictions that have burdened the system and inflated costs. Let doctors engage in the practice of their profession.
This is a lot to accomplish in four years but it would go a long way toward restoring America's faith in itself, in government and it would cause the markets to feel more confident as well.
Down the road I would address a whole host of others issues such as a return to making the dollar sound as a curb on unrestrained Congressional spending, the powers of The Fed, the plaintiff bar, the legitimate role of lobbysists etc.,
I have every belief a program along the lines I have outlined coming from a successful business entrepreneur would appeal to the uncommitted core of voters and sweep The Donald into the White House.
In conjunction with the above program Trump should explain to the voters why it is critical they return a Republican Congress so he can accomplish these worth goals and tell the voters that if members of his party do not perform they have every right and , in fact, the duty to sweep them out of office.
In terms of how he should conduct himself in regard to attacks from Hillary and biased press and media, I would leave him to his own devices because it is obvious he has been phenomenal in cutting off their legs and tying them up in knots. Crooked Hillary sound about right to me!

The US remains Israel’s chief ally and cannot be replaced by Russia, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Wednesday before flying home after a two-day visit to Moscow.
“It is not desirable or practical to replace the United States [with Russia]. The US is the cornerstone of our foreign relations,” Netanyahu told reporters.
He had visited Moscow for the third time this year, and had held his fourth face-to-face meeting with President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday.
Although the trip was a celebration of 25 years of diplomatic ties, it fueled speculation that Israel is seeking to grow closer to Moscow and to distance itself from Washington, particularly in light of Netanyahu’s contentious relationship with President Barack Obama, with whom he has met only once in the past year.
But Netanyahu said that the idea that his frequent trips to Russia were part of a plan to replace Washington with Moscow is “nonsense.”
“I’m not looking for an alternative. We have a firm relationship with the US,” Netanyahu said, describing it as “steadfast and unwavering.”
Israel wants strong ties with as many countries as possible, the prime minister said.
Regional issues have demanded coordination with Russia and this particular meeting took place to mark 25 years of diplomatic relations.
On a separate note he added that he expects a deal to be reached soon with Turkey for the full restoration of diplomatic ties after almost six years.
As Netanyahu readied to leave, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov issued a statement which appeared to imply that Netanyahu had accepted the 2002 Arab Peace Plan, something which Netanyahu’s office immediately denied.
“During Mr Putin’s talks with Mr Netanyahu yesterday, Israel made no demands to make amendments to the Arab Peace Initiative,” Lavrov said in a statement on Twitter.
This was based on statements Lavrov made during a joint press conference with Palestinian Authority Foreign Minister Riad Malki.
The Arab Peace Plan, also known as the Saudi Initiative, offers Israel normalized relations with the Arab world in exchange for a withdrawal to the pre-1967 lines and a resolution on the Palestinian refugee issue.
The Prime Minister’s Office said that the issue of the Arab Peace Initiative was not raised during his talks with Putin and that the prime minister has been clear in the past about the fact that the 2002 plan needs to be revised to account for regional changes.
In the last month, to counter French moves to impose on Israel a resolution concerning its conflict with the Palestinians, Netanyahu has spoken publicly of the need for a regional peace process based on a revised version of the Arab Peace Plan.
It is presumed that among the items Netanyahu would want revised is the issue of a two-state solution on the pre- 1967 lines, something he has persistently opposed.
Israel considers a withdrawal to the pre-1967 lines to be suicidal from a security perspective.
The Arab League, which has endorsed the 2002 plan, has already rejected Netanyahu’s call for a revision, as have the Palestinians. Both have insisted that the offer of normalized ties rests on Israel’s acceptance of the original Arab Peace Plan.
On Wednesday Russia also rejected Netanyahu’s drive to revise the plan. Russia plays a critical role in the Israeli-Palestinian peace process because it is a member of the Quartet and holds one of five permanent seats on the United Nations Security Council.
Lavrov told reporters that the Arab Peace Plan “is integral and embraces the entire set of relations between Israel and the Arab countries, including Palestine of course. There is no need to amend it.”
According to a translation of his words by the TASS News Agency, Lavrov said that the initial plan was already universally accepted.
“Saudi Arabia was the first to forward the initiative, which was later joined by the League of Arab States (LAS) and the entire Organization of Islamic Cooperation,” Lavrov said according to TASS.
He explained that the next step necessary to move the process forward was a much touted report, analyzing the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in an attempt to help renew negotiations that have been frozen for the last two years.
“Together with partners in the Quartet we are preparing now a report with the respective recommendations. We expect that this report will become an important contribution toward efforts on reviving the peace process,” Lavrov said according to TASS.
But the report which was supposed to be released last month has been delayed due to disagreements about Quartet members, primarily the United States, about its language.
The report “is designed to confirm and update the international legal framework for the Palestinian-Israeli settlement. We hope that our partners in the Quartet will try to finish the work on this report, especially the recommendations contained in it, as soon as possible,” Lavrov said according to TASS.
He added that he hoped that moving forward, the Quartet would have a larger role in any future peace process.
Malki visited Moscow just as Netanyahu was wrapping up his visit.
Netanyahu’s last visit was in April. PA President Mahmoud Abbas also visited that month, during which time he met with Putin.
On Thursday, Jordanian Foreign Minister Nasser Judeh will be in Moscow to meet with Lavrov.
Earlier in the day, when meeting with Moscow’s Jewish community, Netanyahu spoke about Syria and said he was doubtful that Syrian President Bashar Assad will continue to rule Syria in the future.
He clarified that Israel is not involved in any attempts to unseat Assad and that it is involved in the Syrian conflict only to the extent that is necessary to protect Israeli interests.
This is particularly true with regard to Iran which already operates in Syria.
“We want to ensure that Syria does not become a launching ground for attacks against Israel, not by Syrian forces, not by Iranian forces, not by Hezbollah and not by Islamic forces.
“My policy is to take all steps necessary to prevent this,” he said.
“We are standing by our red lines with respect to Israel’s security,” he said.
Once the Syrian conflict has ended it is unlikely that the country will look the same as it did before the outbreak of its civil war, he said.
“I do not know if we can put the Syrian omelet back in the egg,” Netanyahu said.
Syria is not the only country in this situation, he said. Iraq, Libya and Yemen no longer exist the way they used to, so a new order will be needed.
Netanyahu told the Jewish community he has discussed at length this new order with President Vladimir Putin when the two met.
“Its important that they [the former regimes] are replaced in a way that does not generate future tragedies or endanger our state,” he said.
Israel has launched dozens of strikes in Syria in April against suspected arms transfers to Lebanon’s Hezbollah terrorists.
Israeli leaders have sought assurances from Russia, which sent forces to Syria last year to help Assad, that it would not allow Iran and Hezbollah to be bolstered by the partial military withdrawal that Moscow announced last month. Israel and Russia have maintained a hotline to prevent any accidental clash between their air crafts over Syrian territory.

3) AFTERMATH OF MERKEL'S OPEN DOOR? 70K CRIMES COMMITTED OR ATTEMPTED BY MIGRANTS IN GERMANY
Migrants in Germany committed or attempted nearly 70,000 crimes in the first quarter of 2016
Germany received over a million migrants last year.
And now fears have been raised over national safety in the country after a damning new report claimed asylum seekers attempted or committed 69,000 crimes in the first three months of the year.
The report from the BKA federal police showed that settlers from northern Africa, Georgia and Serbia were disproportionately represented among the suspects.
Crime numbers of among Syrians, Afghans and Iraqis – the three biggest groups of asylum seekers in Germany – were also high but given the proportion of migrants that they account for, their involvement in crimes was “clearly disproportionately low”.
Sex crimes accounted for 1.1 per cent
The report showed that 29.2 percent of the crimes migrants committed or tried to commit in the first quarter were thefts, 28.3 per cent were property or forgery offences and 23 per cent offences such as bodily harm, robbery and unlawful detention.
Drug-related offences accounted for 6.6 percent and sex crimes accounted for 1.1 per cent.
The report gave no breakdown of the number of actual crimes and of would-be crimes.
The report gave no breakdown of the number of actual crimes and of would-be crimes.
In Cologne at New Year, hundreds of women said they were groped, assaulted and robbed, with police saying the suspects were mainly of North African and Arab appearance.
Prosecutors said last week three Pakistani men seeking asylum in Germany were under investigation after dozens of women said they were sexually harassed at a music festival.

Secret Service agent's book claims Clinton has 'volcanic' leadership style
An ex-Secret Service officer's forthcoming book on Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton reportedly claims she has a “volcanic” leadership style and lacks the "temperament" to hold office -- the same charge the candidate leveled last week at Donald Trump.
The book, “Crisis of Character,” is due to be released June 28 – a month before Clinton is likely to take the stage to accept the Democratic presidential nomination in Philadelphia. Written by ex-Secret Service Officer Gary J. Byrne, who was “posted directly outside President Clinton’s Oval Office,” the 285-page book paints Clinton as disdainful of rules and erratic in her personality.
While some extracts have already been released on the Amazon.com preview page, the New York Post reported Monday that Byrne claims Clinton is too “erratic, uncontrollable and occasionally violent” to become commander-in-chief.
Byrne describes Clinton as switching quickly from friendly to angry in a moment, and repeatedly screaming obscenities at her husband, the Secret Service and White House staffers. Secret Service agents even had to consider what to do in case the first lady attacked the president physically, Byrne claims.
“Hillary Clinton is now poised to become the Democratic nominee for president of the United States, but she simply lacks the integrity and temperament to serve in the office,” Byrne wrote, according to the Post.
“From the bottom of my soul I know this to be true. And with Hillary’s latest rise, I realize that her own leadership style — volcanic, impulsive, enabled by sycophants, and disdainful of the rules set for everyone else — hasn’t changed a bit.”
Incidentally, Clinton last week accused presumptive Republican nominee Trump of being "temperamentally unfit" for office.
In the Amazon preview of the book, Byrne recalled an alleged fight between the first couple during the summer of 1995 in Chapter 1, “The Vase.” Byrne said a vase was smashed during the loud argument and the next morning President Clinton sported “a shiner, a real, put-a-steak-on-it black eye.” Clinton’s personal scheduler Nancy Hernreich allegedly told Byrne the eye condition was a result of Clinton’s allergy to coffee.
Clinton's critics say the book sheds light on the Clintons’ character and suitability for office.
"It’s about them having a separate set of rules or not having to follow the rules, and there are basic questions of character … in how they treated others and how they treated their colleagues,” Matt Schlapp, chairman of the American Conservative Union, said Monday on Fox News.
However, Democratic strategist Mary Anne Marsh, a former adviser to John Kerry, said it was an example of the negative 2016 campaign and would only play into the tactics of Trump.
"I think this book is just one more example of where this campaign is going, which is straight to the gutter,” Marsh said. “A really negative campaign is the bet Donald Trump is hoping for because it’s the only one he can win, because people get turned off by truly negative campaigns.”
The Clinton campaign dismissed the book, telling the Post it belongs in the fantasy section of a store.
“Gary Byrne joins the ranks of Ed Klein and other ‘authors’ in this latest in a long line of books attempting to cash in on the election cycle with their nonsense,” spokesman Nick Merrill said in a statement. “It should be put in the fantasy section of the book store.”
White House spokesman Josh Earnest wouldn’t be drawn into commenting directly about the book.
“I'd think I'd reserve judgment about the wisdom of writing a book from such a perspective until I know more about the book,” Earnest told reporters.
