GOP Rep. Tim Burchett Reminds Democrats That Obama Bombed Eight Countries Without Congressional Approval

Republican Congressman Tim Burchett of Tennessee appeared on NewsNation tonight and provided a reminder for all of the Democrats who are suddenly claiming that Trump can’t act on Iran without congressional approval.

Burchett points out that Obama bombed eight different countries without congressional approval.

Democrats think no one remembers anything. When Obama was president, he could pretty much do anything he wanted with zero pushback from his party or the media. He could do no wrong in their eyes.

Partial transcript via Overton News:

BURCHETT: “President Obama bombed 8 countries without Congressional approval.”

“So I think it’s a little disingenuous for the Democrats start saying this is unprecedented and you’ve got the most stable regime, outside of probably the Chinese, in the whole right now.”

“And they’ve killed Americans within recent memory.”

“Is this the revenge tour? Maybe be a little bit. But you poke the bear you get it.”

“Or you poke the bull, you get the horns and the horns.”

“And the horns right now are Donald J. Trump.”

“And he’s letting an enemy of this country know how we feel about them.”

CIA Admits There Was Political Bias In Obama-Era Intelligence

For years, anyone who questioned whether Washington’s intelligence machinery tilted left was told they were peddling conspiracies. That narrative fell apart on Friday, when CIA Director John Ratcliffe ordered the official retraction or major revision of nineteen intelligence products produced during the Obama years, citing political bias and substandard analytic tradecraft. It’s the first official acknowledgment that America’s most powerful spy agency let politics color its assessments.

“The intelligence products we released to the American people today — produced before my tenure as DCIA — fall short of the high standards of impartiality that CIA must uphold and do not reflect the expertise for which our analysts are renowned,” Director Ratcliffe said in a statement. “There is absolutely no room for bias in our work and when we identify instances where analytic rigor has been compromised, we have a responsibility to correct the record. These actions underscore our commitment to transparency, accountability, and objective intelligence analysis. Our recent successes in Operation ABSOLUTE RESOLVE and Operation MIDNIGHT HAMMER exemplify our dedication to analytic excellence.”

The bombshell came after the President’s Intelligence Advisory Board (PIAB) completed an independent review of hundreds of finished CIA reports spanning the past decade. This period includes Barack Obama’s second term and the Russian collusion hoax.

The PIAB identified nineteen intelligence products that “failed to be independent of political consideration.” Deputy Director Michael Ellis led an internal review that confirmed the findings. Ratcliffe’s response was swift and blunt. “The intelligence products we released to the American people today — produced before my tenure as DCIA — fall short of the high standards of impartiality that CIA must uphold and do not reflect the expertise for which our analysts are renowned,” he said. “There is absolutely no room for bias in our work… These actions underscore our commitment to transparency, accountability, and objective intelligence analysis.”

That’s a rather diplomatic way of saying that Barack Obama’s CIA got caught red-handed playing politics. The agency admitted that at least some of its Obama-era intelligence relied on questionable sourcing, including political activist groups. One report even drew on material from Planned Parenthood, something one official described as “clearly not an appropriate use of CIA resources.” For an organization that prides itself on independence and tradecraft, that revelation is a true humiliation.

REPORT: Obama’s Hideous Presidential Center is Going to Cost Chicago Taxpayers A LOT MORE Than They Were Told

In addition to being ugly, the new Obama presidential center is going to be a massive financial burden on the people of Chicago.

They were sold a bill of goods about how the center was going to bring tourism and revenue to the city, but not so much about the costs.

In this sense, it is a perfect monument to Obama’s legacy. Overpriced and based on lies, much like Obamacare.

FOX News reports:

Bureaucrats hide true price of Obama Presidential Center as taxpayers hit with infrastructure bill

Former President Barack Obama once declared that his presidential center would be a “gift” to Chicago, but taxpayers are on the hook for hundreds of millions of dollars in hidden costs related to the beleaguered project.

A Fox News Digital investigation shows taxpayers are now stuck footing the bill for surging public infrastructure costs required to support the project — and no government agency can provide an accounting of the total public cost, despite months of queries and FOIA requests…

When the project was approved in 2018, Obama pledged to privately fund construction of the expansive 19.3-acre campus in historic Jackson Park through donations to the Obama Foundation – a commitment that remains in place as the center’s construction continues to be privately financed.

But the extensive infrastructure required to make the campus operationally viable — including redesigned roads, stormwater systems, and relocated utilities — is publicly financed, and without those changes, the center could not function.

At the time, projections placed public infrastructure costs at roughly $350 million, split between the state of Illinois and the city of Chicago.

Eight years later, the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) told Fox News Digital that approximately $229 million in infrastructure spending was tied to the site, up from its earlier estimate of roughly $174 million.

The $229 million figure reflects state-managed spending, which may include federal transportation funds routed through IDOT.

The report goes on to state that the agencies which are supposed to be overseeing the accounting on the project are not being upfront with taxpayers and are providing ‘estimates’ of ongoing costs.

Trump blasts Obama for sharing ‘classified’ alien secrets: ‘Big mistake’

Donald Trump claims that Barack Obama acted improperly by allegedly sharing classified information with Americans when he said that aliens exist. 

Podcast host Brian Tyler Cohen asked the former president in an episode that aired January 14 if aliens are real.

‘They’re real, but I haven’t seen them,’ the former president replied. He joked that they aren’t being kept at Area 51, as far as he knows.

The clip went so viral and sparked so much speculation that Obama had to post a clarification the following day where he explicitly stated: ‘I saw no evidence during my presidency that extraterrestrials have made contact with us. Really!’

Rather, he said, the former president was sharing his personal belief that ‘the universe is so vast that the odds are good there’s life out there.’

But Trump said on Thursday on his way to Georgia that Obama was ‘not supposed’ to be sharing this ‘classified information.

‘I don’t know if they’re real or not,’ Trump told Fox News reporter Peter Doocy aboard Air Force One.

‘I can tell you he gave classified information. He made a big mistake,’ he added.

REPORT: Obama and Susan Rice CRIED in Front of White House Staff After Trump’s 2016 Win

The 2016 presidential election was memorable in so many ways. Democrats and the media thought they had the race in the bag and ended up having a collective nervous breakdown when Trump pulled off a stunning win.

Apparently, this was just too much for then President Obama and his trusted henchwoman Susan Rice because according to an explosive new report, the two of them cried in front of the White House staff.

It’s pretty easy to believe this happened, isn’t it?

Breitbart News reports:

Report: Obama, Susan Rice ‘Broke Down and Cried’ After Trump Defeated Hillary Clinton in 2016

Former President Barack Obama and former White House adviser Susan Rice allegedly “broke down and cried” after President Donald Trump defeated former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election.

In a post on X, RealClearInvestigations senior reporter Paul Sperry claimed that more than 1,000 “hours of new audio and video compiled by Columbia University in cooperation with the Obama Foundation” showed that Obama and Rice were allegedly “so distraught” over Trump’s win.

“BREAKING: President Obama and his National Security Adviser Susan Rice were so distraught after Trump won in 2016 they literally broke down and cried in front of White House staff, according to 1,100 hours of new audio and video compiled by Columbia University in cooperation with the Obama Foundation.”

“After all they’d built, they feared their accomplishments were ‘at risk’ of being town down by a ‘con man’ and a ‘clown,’” Sperry added. “Ergo, Trump had to be stopped?”

Obama-Appointed Judge Rules ICE Can’t Re-Detain Illegal Alien Kilmar Abrego-Garcia

Obama-appointed U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis has ruled that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) cannot re-detain Kilmar Abrego-Garcia, an illegal alien from El Salvador facing human smuggling charges.

Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national, has long been on the radar of U.S. law enforcement for his affiliations with the notorious MS-13 gang, also known as Mara Salvatrucha.

Breitbart News reports:

The government “made one empty threat after another to remove him to countries in Africa with no real chance of success,” U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis, in Maryland, wrote in her Tuesday order. “From this, the Court easily concludes that there is no ‘good reason to believe’ removal is likely in the reasonably foreseeable future.”

Abrego Garcia has an American wife and child and has lived in Maryland for years, but he immigrated to the U.S. illegally as a teenager. In 2019, an immigration judge ruled that he could not be deported to El Salvador because he faced danger there from a gang that had threatened his family. By mistake, he was deported there anyway last year.

Facing public pressure and a court order, President Donald Trump’s administration brought him back in June, but only after securing an indictment charging him with human smuggling in Tennessee. He has pleaded not guilty. Meanwhile, Trump officials have said he cannot stay in the U.S. In court filings, officials have said they intended to deport him to Uganda, Eswatini, Ghana, and Liberia.

MS-13 is infamous for its involvement in violent crimes, including murder, extortion, and human trafficking.

Ahead of midterms, Obama and Hillary suddenly embrace the Trump agenda

Well, isn’t this special?

Hillary Clinton and former President Obama have delivered their midterm talking points, suddenly embracing President Trump’s agenda on homelessness and illegal immigration, playing ‘moderate,’ of course.

The problem, of course, is that blue-city homeless tent cities, and mass illegal immigration, two tremendous problems of disorder detested by the public, have Democrats’ names written all over them — they are Democrat policies, and anyone who doesn’t like them is racist, Nazi, and mean-spirited.

Homelessness, and the vast publicly funded homeless-industrial complex loaded with fraud makes a lot of Democrat NGOs very, very, rich.

Illegal immigration gets a lot of Democrats elected to office, if only by preserving congressional seats via the Census after citizens flee the states. But there’s plenty of illegals voting, too, as blue-states’ refusal to clean up voter rolls or cooperate with federal authorities suggests. Illegals also draw vast federal funding to states, keeping the schools open, the hospitals funded, and the fraud flowing to Democrat NGOs, bureaucrats, and illegals alike.  

Now they’re claiming tent cities are not a good thing, and Joe Biden (who’s easy to kick to the curb at this point) and his open borders were too much. Funny how they haven’t said anything until now about it being a problem.

Sure, it could be a poll wake-up call, but they already got that call when President Trump was elected in 2024. More likely, it’s midterm talk, a phony change of heart now that it’s election time. And given that the sudden wave of moderation went out all at once, it’s very likely coming from a list of DNC talking points.

The Obama Administration’s Prostitution Scandal And The Ruemmler-Epstein Connection

Remember Obama’s 2012 Colombian prostitution scandal? Turns out, Jeffrey Epstein was involved…

Newly released Department of Justice documents from the Epstein files have exposed a previously unknown connection between a 2012 White House advance-team scandal in Cartagena, Colombia, and Kathryn Ruemmler – the former Obama White House counsel who later became Goldman Sachs’ top lawyer.

Ruemmler resigned from Goldman late last week, after the latest Epstein document dump revealed her extensive, affectionate, and years-long correspondence with the convicted sex offender. The emails show she called him “Uncle Jeffrey,” accepted expensive gifts, and turned to him for advice on sensitive legal and reputational matters – including how to respond to a 2014 Washington Post report that accused her of helping suppress evidence of prostitution involving a rich kid White House aide whose daddy was a huge Obama donor. 

The WaPo report, by all accounts, cost Ruemmler a job as Obama’s Attorney General. 

The 2012 Cartagena Prostitution Scandal

In April 2012, ahead of President Obama’s trip to the Summit of the Americas in Cartagena, Colombia, at least 20 Secret Service agents, military personnel, and others were involved in hiring prostitutes. The scandal led to multiple firings and disciplinary actions.

A lesser-known element involved Jonathan Dach, a 25-year-old Yale Law student and unpaid White House advance-team volunteer (son of prominent Democratic donor Leslie Dach). Hotel records obtained by investigators showed a prostitute was checked into Dach’s room at the Hilton Cartagena shortly after midnight on April 3, 2012.

Hillary Clinton Lied About Deportations Under Her Husband and Obama

Hillary Clinton was in Munich over the weekend, where she lied through her teeth about deportations under the presidencies of both her husband and Barack Obama. That’s what she does best, it seems, and she does it shamelessly.

“More people were deported under my husband and Barack Obama,” Clinton said, “without killing American citizens and without putting children into detention camps than were in the first Trump term or the first year of this second term.”

Of course, there weren’t “sanctuary cities” under Clinton and Obama. Blue cities cooperated with ICE. CNN even did ride-alongs with ICE and sang their praises.

But it was Obama who started the detention centers.

And put kids in cages.

Obama States Aliens are ‘Real’ in New Interview

Former President Barack Obama has stirred national intrigue surrounding extraterrestrial life, boldly stating in a recent podcast that aliens are indeed “real” —even if he hasn’t laid eyes on them himself.

During a wide-ranging interview with podcaster Brian Tyler Cohen, released Saturday (February 14), Obama didn’t shy away from the cosmic question. When asked if extraterrestrials exist, he replied simply, “They’re real, but I haven’t seen them.” In previous interviews, he confirmed there were indeed cases of anomalous aerial phenomena, or UAPs.

As to the decades-old conspiracy theories, Obama denied that Area 51 harbors alien secrets. “They’re not being kept at Area 51. There’s no underground facility —unless there’s this enormous conspiracy and they hid it from the President of the United States,” he quipped, leaving us to ponder the deeper mystery.
