The State Department admitted Thursday that the US would not hand over $400 million in cash to Iran until it released four American hostages — two weeks after President Obama insisted the payment was not a “ransom.”
State Department spokesman John Kirby was asked at Thursday’s press briefing: “In basic English, you’re saying you wouldn’t give them $400 million in cash until the prisoners were released, correct?”
“That’s correct,” Kirby replied.
Here, Barack Hussein Obama insists that no ransom was paid.
In an Aug. 4 press conference, President Obama said the opposite.
“We do not pay ransom. We didn’t here, and we won’t in the future,” the president told reporters, speaking of the Jan. 17 payment and hostage release.
Mr Obama, as you may recall, got on his high horse and cast wave after wave of righteous indignation onto those who dared question His Royal Highness about the incident. How dare he be second-guessed?
Here is John Kirby also stating that no ransom was paid. It was all a random coinky-dink.
We may conclude two clear things:
John Kirby is a LIAR. Therefore most everything presented officially by the State Department is likely a lie as well, and
Barack Hussein Obama is a LIAR. But we knew that already because of the following video — but only as one instance. There are scores more.
“I just remember the night at the airport sitting for hours and hours there, and I asked police, ‘Why are you not letting us go?’ ” Abedini said. “He said, ‘We are waiting for another plane so if that plane doesn’t come, we never let [you] go.’ ”
I wrote in my original post about Obama’s payment of $400 million dollars to Iran:
Also, that is completely exclusive of the fact that, unless one wants to embolden hostage-takers, villains, dictators and criminals, a country or an entity or an individual should never pay a ransom because — obviously, due to the nature of criminals — the hostage-taking will not stop. It merely proves that the act of hostage-taking is productive.
Further, that cash will be used in furtherance of one thing: terrorist acts against Muslims and against the West. Violence, death, chaos and carnage.
Now that the LIE is out and it is obvious and it is naked and blatant, let’s see how the American Media Maggots address the situation — other than, perhaps, doing their level best to sweep the situation under the media rug.
FBI tells teachers to inform on students who express ‘anti-government’ and ‘anarchist’ political beliefs as high schools are ‘ideal targets’ for extremist recruiters
by Wills Robinson
Document urges faculty members to assess behavior of students
They suggest to watch for certain signs, such as tendency toward violence
Bureau hopes indications could prevent future terrorist attacks
They believed it would help reduce the number of youngsters joining terrorist or anti-government groups
It would seem to me the real “extremist recruiters” could be some of the teachers already employed in public schools.
The FBI wants teachers to inform on ‘anti-government’ or ‘anarchist’ students.
In a document titled ‘Preventing Violence and Extremism in Schools’, the bureau urges faculty members to assess concerning behavior of schoolchildren as they may be ’embracing extremist ideologies’.
They also list a number of indications, such as violent tendencies, which may be a sign they are planning an attack or may want to join a terrorist group.
Officials then want staff to pass on information to authorities in a bid to prevent any actions which could put others in danger.
In other words, the United States government wants to make an enemy out of me once again — but oddly enough, only during Leftist administrations. The federal government wants to make an enemy of its soldiers, of those who believe in religion (excepting that of Islam) and those who believe in the Second Amendment.
AG Lynch Testifies: Justice Dept. Has ‘Discussed’ Civil Legal Action Against Climate Change Deniers
by Jon Street
Attorney General Loretta Lynch testified Wednesday that the Justice Department has “discussed” taking civil legal action against the fossil fuel industry for “denying” the “threat of carbon emissions” when it comes to climate change.
A Democrat asked and was answered:
“My question to you is, other than civil forfeitures and matters attendant to a criminal case, are there other circumstances in which a civil matter under the authority of the Department of Justice has been referred to the FBI?” he asked.
“This matter has been discussed. We have received information about it and have referred it to the FBI to consider whether or not it meets the criteria for which we could take action on,” Lynch answered. “I’m not aware of a civil referral at this time.”
Mr Obama can’t stand it that Republicans are indicating they may filibuster any Obama nominee until after November’s election.
How dare they?
Some Republicans have made it clear they believe the next president, Republican or Demorat, should be the one making such a nomination — with the full power of the electorate behind them.
Mr Obama lies once again when he states there is a constitutional requirement to make such an appointment. There is no constitutional “requirement” for the president to immediately replace a Supreme Court justice.
The American Media Maggots — and Mr Obama himself — seem to mostly so conveniently minimize the fact that Obama filibustered Samuel Alito when he was nominated by a Republican president.
As you can see, Mr Obama verbally tapdances around the question — as he must, because he has been caught. Having been caught, he says he “regrets” his actions back then.
Uh, no. He only “regrets” it because he doesn’t want done to him what he did to the Republicans.
Hypocrisy, thy name continues to be Obama.
BZ
P.S.
The Perfect Storm of nominees for Obama, Demorats and Leftists? That would be Loretta Lynch for SCOTUS and then Kamala Harris to replace Lynch as AG.
And it couldn’t have happened to a more traitorous man. Or quickly enough.
The only thing worse than having to hear Obama’s voice, literally, EVERY day for the past seven years would be to hear Hillary’s piercing voice every day. That is not, at this point, an impossible future.
Will Obama mention his traitorous Iranian deal? Will he mention the Iranian missiles fired close to our newest aircraft carrier? Will he mention the ten sailors captured by Iran? As Charles Krauthammer said, Obama has already been serially humiliated by Iran.
Obama canceled sanctions for the missile launches. Obama is kind to our enemies and brutal to our allies.
How long will the speech go? How many times will he say “I” instead of we?
That wasn’t a movie, a TV show or a bad SNL skit. That’s classroom reality.
“Food Stamp recipients didn’t cause the financial crisis; recklessness on Wall Street did.” Wall Street helped; but the givernment demanded that banks loan to people who couldn’t afford houses.
“Look, if anybody still wants to dispute the science around climate change, have at it. You’ll be pretty lonely, because you’ll be debating our military, most of America’s business leaders, the majority of the American people, almost the entire scientific community, and 200 nations around the world who agree it’s a problem and intend to solve it.”
Again, more lies. More embracement of The Religious Left — those who so desperately want to believe in Global Warming. It is a religion that demands faith and, like islam, brooks no dissenters.
“No nation dares to attack us or our allies because they know that’s the path to ruin.”
All of the highest-ranking military professionals in the room appeared as though they had had a steaming dog turd stuffed in their mouths when Obama said that. I watched.
“Surveys show our standing around the world is higher than when I was elected to this office.”
Another massive and total lie.
Even the Demorats in the audience who stood to clap did so with tepid vigor and passive and disinterested faces.
THE BIGGEST LIE OF THE EVENING:
“We don’t need to build them (ISIL) up to show that we’re serious, nor do we need to push away vital allies in this fight by echoing the lie that ISIL is representative of one of the world’s largest religions.”
THE BIGGEST OMISSION OF THE EVENING:
NOT ONE WORD about US debt and the massive deficits, CONTINUED and EXPANDED GOVERNMENT SPENDING that he and Demorats and Leftists demand.
“The future we want – opportunity and security for our families; a rising standard of living and a sustainable, peaceful planet for our kids – all that is within our reach. But it will only happen if we work together. It will only happen if we can have rational, constructive debates.”
And those debates, those discussions, are just what you and the Demorats and your fellow Leftists won’t brook in your cabinet meetings, in the public, on the internet, in books and magazines, on television and, mostly now, in our schools and universities.
“As frustration grows, there will be voices urging us to fall back into tribes, to scapegoat fellow citizens who don’t look like us, or pray like us, or vote like we do, or share the same background.”
How odd that you mention that in your very last state of the union speech, because you have been the greatest Divider In Chief.
Obama simultaneously disarms American citizens and arms Iran with the largest, most powerful and deadliest weapons systems on the planet. Mr Obama disarms our citizens, removes equipment from our police forces — who are our First Responders to terrorist and critical incidents, not any single faction of the federal government, in any form. Not the FBI, not the US Marshals, not FEMA. Not any federal agency. Your local law enforcement only.
He also ensures that our law enforcement agencies are diminished, demagogued, belittled.
Obama was the greatestDivider In Chief. He will be proven as the least effective president in recent history, even worse than that of James Earl Carter.
His power depended precisely upon division, the diminishment of American power, greater regulatory and governmental power and money, with the
Just as with his entire administration and tenure, Obama’s final state of the union speech was entirely disconnected from reality. He continues to be physically and mentally separated from the true reality in America and continues his denial of the way the country and the world operates. His speech was disjointed and riddled with major droppings of his ego, arrogance and dismissal of those who would oppose him or his policies in any fashion. He sets aside reality that is inconvenient to him.
Not one word about American hostages in Iran. Not one word about the Iran sanctions or Monday’s ten hostage sailors. He lectures us about civility but not one reference to the fact that Obama is almost singlehandedly responsible for the chaos in Syria via ISIS, his “J.V. team” and that, by extension, Obama will be responsible for the Islamization and decline of the bulk of Europe.
Obama chose to ignore the area where a president can have the most ready influence: foreign policy. He chose to dictate the area foundationally covered by and under the aegis of Congress: domestic policy.
The speech, like Mr Obama, was sophomoric, belittling and pedantic. And not based in any way upon reality.

Live with it, you morons. You voted for it, you’re reaping your just desserts.
I only hope your rates increase.
As John Wayne said:
For those idiots amongst us — like the couple above — let us review two primary Obama LIES about ObakaKare:
A clear and obvious LIE. Then there was this:
Every breath, every word uttered by Obama is nothing but a LIE.
And GOWPs couldn’t wait to take it all in.
Then they became shocked — shocked I tell you — when they were personally shafted by His Imperial Majesty.
Yes. You arethat stupid, you Guilty Overeducated White People. You would expect blacks to be corrupt and vote their melanin. The past two times, however, you voted your perceived guilt. Which doesn’t exist, except in a Leftist Stratosphere ruled by guilt and PC terms and lies and ignorance of history.
Historical query for Leftists.
Question: who were some of the greatest slavekeepers in history? Answer: Muslims.
