Quote:
This Thanksgiving, Americans can give thanks for the termination of one of the most pro-criminal administrations in American history, though the damage done to the criminal justice system may far outlast outgoing President Barack Obama's tenure in office.

To date, President Obama has now freed more than a thousand prisoners as part of his crusade against a criminal justice system he considers to be racist.

With fewer than 60 days remaining in his second and final term of office, the most felon-friendly president in American history just “reduced the sentences of 79 people in prison for non-violent drug crimes,” bringing his total to 1,023 commutations of prison sentences, Quartz reports.

“Unlike pardons, commutations don’t officially constitute forgiveness of a crime. They reduce a prisoner’s sentence but don’t necessarily let them go free immediately. The details of the most recent 79 commutations weren’t immediately clear.”

The 1,023 figure does not include the 6,112 allegedly non-violent drug offenders freed a year ago under retroactively applied federal sentencing guidelines.

The president’s pardon power is unreviewable in any court in the land and cannot be modified by Congress. When it comes to federal offenses, the president is free to pardon or commute the sentence of anybody for anything anywhere in America.

To Obama the fact that African-Americans are the most incarcerated group in the U.S. is proof not that they commit a lot of crimes but that they are innocent victims of racist, systemic discrimination in a country where race relations haven't improved much since Jim Crow.

"One of the things that I've consistently said as president is that I'm the president of all people," Obama said during last year’s prison break. "I am very proud that my presidency can help to galvanize and mobilize America on behalf of issues of racial disparity and racial injustice."

Most conservatives don’t buy into Obama’s race-related nonsense.

And Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Alabama), now President-elect Donald Trump’s choice for the post of attorney general, warned last year that "when we release large numbers of criminals early, we know that a substantial number of those individuals will commit murders, rapes, assaults, robberies, and other violent crimes that would have been prevented had they remained in prison."

While federal offenders give thanks today on this national holiday for having a criminal-loving president in the Oval Office, left-wing criminal justice critics are complaining Obama has been moving far too slowly.

“Clemency is the one administrative action President Obama can take that will not be overturned by an incoming Trump administration,” according to Jessica Jackson Sloan, director of Cut 50, a project of admitted communist Van Jones’s Dream Corps Unlimited group.

“We are grateful to the President for the 79 clemencies that were granted today – a handful of families were granted hope as the holidays approach. But there is much, much more the President can and must do.”

But Obama has in fact been doing much, much more.

The president has been attempting to fundamentally redefine and mainstream criminal behavior by fast-tracking criminals' federal employment applications, weakening criminal law penalties, and trafficking in get-out-of-jail-free cards for thousands of imprisoned federal drug offenders.

Obama has been releasing prisoners because he believes it's not fair to keep them locked up for their crimes. He has been defending lawless so-called sanctuary cities, and banning the metaphorical (and sometimes literal) criminal record box on federal job applications. Banning the box amounts to a kind of executive clemency that initially nullifies criminal convictions of ex-cons seeking federal employment and effectively penalizes law-abiding citizens for their good behavior, making them the equals of criminals. In other words, the policy treats criminals the same as non-criminals, and most reasonable people would say that’s not fair.

This is the first and only president to go on a tour of prisons. He has been freeing dangerous terrorists from Guantanamo Bay at a frightening clip. He rewarded illegal aliens for breaking the law and he embraced violent, anti-American Occupy Wall Street and Black Lives Matter movements.

Obama has been defining deviancy down by attempting to de-stigmatize criminality. The Left views criminals -- especially minorities -- as victims of society, oppressed for mere nonconformism. Because it needs their votes, the Left presses for the restoration of felons' voting rights.

With the 79 new commutations, Obama pretended he was acting out of a desire for fairness.

“The power to grant pardons and commutations … embodies the basic belief in our democracy that people deserve a second chance after having made a mistake in their lives that led to a conviction under our laws.”

But the belief “that people deserve a second chance” isn’t what motivated Obama to act, according to the White House website. It’s so-called social justice, pure and simple.

A Nov. 22 post on the website brags the president “granted 70 pardons” and “has commuted the sentences of more individuals in one year than in any other single year in our nation’s history.”

“The President has now commuted the sentences of 1,023 men and women incarcerated under outdated and unduly harsh sentencing laws, including 342 individuals who were serving life sentences,” the site states.

According to Department of Justice statistics, Obama has indeed granted more commutations than all other presidents since the Second World War combined.

George W. Bush issued 11 commutations. Before that Bill Clinton granted 61, preceded by George H.W. Bush (3), Ronald Reagan (13), Jimmy Carter (29), Gerald Ford (22), Richard Nixon (60), Lyndon Johnson (226), John F. Kennedy (100), Dwight D. Eisenhower (47), and Harry Truman (118).

All these recent commutations are needed, according to the White House, because the system is bad – and so is America.

Our nation faces a cycle of poverty, criminality, and incarceration that traps too many Americans and weakens too many communities. Since taking office, President Obama has fought for a smarter and more equitable criminal justice system. He has been committed to using all the tools at his disposal to remedy the unfairness at the heart of the system—including the presidential power to grant clemency.

Obama recognizes that “clemency alone cannot fix decades of overly punitive sentencing policies, or make our criminal justice system more fair and more just on the whole.”

And more presidential pardons are coming before Obama quits the White House at 12 Noon on Jan. 20.

Omar Abdel-Rahman would be a logical enough choice for President Obama to pardon on the way out. Obama has, after all, shown a willingness to release the worst of the worst among Muslim terrorists. He freed five Islamist generals in exchange for deserter and Taliban collaborator U.S. Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl.

Releasing the 78-year-old Blind Sheikh, whose list of U.S. targets overlapped with the targets Obama pal Bill Ayers and the Weather Underground Organization bombed or plotted to bomb in the 1970s, would delight the president's Islamist allies.

The Arabic language newspaper al-Arabiya previously reported previously that the Obama administration offered to send Abdel-Rahman to Egypt as part a prisoner swap. Abdel-Rahman was convicted of “seditious conspiracy” in 1995 in connection with the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center.

And President-elect Trump’s less-than-definitive statement that his incoming administration will not go after Clinton for her years of corruption in office and brazen criminal wrongdoing cannot be a comfort to Clinton.

Clinton is no dummy. She knows if she doesn't secure a pardon for her many crimes in the next few weeks while her party controls the White House she'll never get one.

Obama isn’t slow on the uptake either. He doesn't want investigators doing a deep dive into the email scandal because he is implicated in it.

The Office of the Pardon Attorney in the Department of Justice, which advises the president, is going to be swamped with work in coming weeks.

Being Thankful for the Left

Posted by Daniel Greenfield


When we celebrate Thanksgiving, after being thankful for family and friends, for health and comfort, for food and shelter; we shouldn't forget to be thankful for the left.


There is no light without darkness and without evil, the good often fails to find their own voice. It is in the presence of slavery that we remember the worth of freedom. Men and nations are forged in war; not only the war of shell and shot, but the war of ideas. War teaches us to fight for what we have. Wars of ideas teach us to stand up for what we believe.

It is because conservatives are basically hopeful and confident that we are also prone to extremes of despair. Too many us were shocked at the decline of our society because of our great confidence in it. The faith that conservatives have in America makes them vulnerable to being crushed by the latest victory of the left.

I have seen far too much despair and defeatism, too many comments that suggest there is no hope for America and the only thing left to do is pour a glass of wine and watch the sun go down. But those comments testify to how sheltered Americans are from the struggles against tyranny around the world.

Eight years of Obama is bad, but try sixty-nine years of Communism on for size. That's what generations of Russians had to live through. Ask some of the conservative activists in Europe who have never had any of the freedoms that we still take for granted whether they've given up hope. Ask people from countries where criticism of Islam can mean death, whether they've given up hope.

There are countless tales of courage over the last century of men and women who did not stop fighting, who did not stop teaching their children so that they would not stop resisting. And those stories have not ended. They continue today in Europe, Asia and South America. And those people would envy the conditions under which we fight, where we can protest without being shot or sent to prison, where we can have a shot at winning elections if we try hard enough.

Where we are, compared to 100 percent of the rest of the world, still free.

We face a hard fight, not only for our freedom, but the freedom of the world. The international left has made America its special project. It knows that if it can extinguish the hope of liberty in this land then it will drive the rest of those who hope for freedom across the ocean deeper into despair. And it wants your despair. It wants you to give up so that the rest of the world gives up too and bows under its chains.

And yet this fight is a glorious one. This fight is our birthright. And we should be thankful for the fight.

It would be more pleasant if there were no Obama or Hillary. If Alinsky had never been born and Marx had never been whelped. It would be nice if we lived in a world where red was just a color and the Democratic Party was a rural movement suspicious of the Federal government and dreaming of an agrarian utopia. But then so would never having to work for a living or getting up out of bed.

Life is challenge and we face all kinds of different challenges. We get up early out of bed in the morning and drive to work. We rise in the middle of the night when the baby cries and we go to the hospital when our loved ones need us there. We do dreary things and terrible things that seem so different from the life we imagined as children. And we do them not only because they are duty, but because these challenges, the daily ones and the once in a lifetime ones, make us who we are.

Besides these prosaic challenges, the daily routines and the occasional tragedies, there are uncommon challenges that we face when the foe comes to our gate and demands that we bow and become slaves. This is the challenge that we face as a society, a nation and a people. It demands more of us and it ennobles us. It makes us a great people and a great nation, rather than only another people who seek to live in comfort with no thought for anything else.

Good emerges in response to evil. We need our enemies to remind us of who we are and what we can do when our backs are against the wall. We need evil to remind us of the good that we are capable of. As a whetstone sharpens a sword, so evil sharpens us into a weapon against it. It makes us morally stronger and teaches us the stark truths that we cannot take refuge from evil; we must confront it.

If there were no left, would there be nearly as much patriotism among true Americans as there is now? And if there were no left, how many of us would really contemplate the core principles of freedom and free enterprise? If there were no left, how many of us would ponder what we truly believe and what compromises we are willing and unwilling to make? If there were no left, would we be the same people that we are today?

For those of us who believe in the Bible, the Lord created both darkness and light. And if it were not for the darkness, would the light be nearly as precious to us? Imagine a world without sunrise or sunset, where the sight of rays of light clearing away the darkness would have no meaning? And then remember that things are treasured to the extent that they can be taken away from us.

Would we value freedom as much if we did not have to defend it? Would we hold it as dear if we did not fear that it would be taken away? Would we even be aware of what freedom is and what a free people must be if not for the dark hand of those who wish to strip us of those freedoms?

It is the left's opposition that has added urgency to a hundred issues, from the national debt to the War on Terror to freedom of speech and of religion. It has made us think about those issues, to take them out of the back of our minds and hold them up to the light as a reminder of how important they are and what must be done about them.

The left's corruptions remind us of the need for purification. As it gathers the worst of all around it, we find ourselves called to be better than we are. As the left works to doom our country, and as we suffer defeat after defeat, these defeats only serve to remind us that we must be better, that we must do more, learn more and become more in order to save our country.

War is the great teacher and this is a political war, short on bodies and heavy on minds, it is a war in which casualties are not taken in the chest or the arm, but in the mind, in reason and emotion, and against these weaknesses, we can and will prevail.

As we fight the left, we become stronger, more dedicated and more purposeful. We become the men and women that we were meant to be.

As you sit around your tables, thinking of all that you have gained and lost this year, remember and be thankful for the left, for though the winter ice gives way to the summer sun and bitter defeat gives way to sweet victory, it is defeat and hardship that teaches better than comfort and ease. We can learn more from our defeats than we ever could from our victories. Our defeats teach us endurance and fortitude, they teach us that defeat can be borne and that its sting can be turned into the weapon that unseats the foe. And our foes make us who we are.

Their evil teaches us to find the good within ourselves. Their strength teaches us to find our own strength. And their plots against what we have teach us how many treasures we have, not least of these being the full value of our freedom and our happiness that they wish to take from us.

Their war on America is teaching us to be better Americans. It may not feel that way right now, but we are privileged to have this opportunity and this fight.

We should be thankful for the left, its assaults on us are teaching us how to fight and its plots against our freedom are teaching us how to be free.

For the most part, I don't care if Obama pardons/commutes the sentences of drug felons.

Supposedly Obama has admitted he cannot "pardon" large number of illegal aliens or grant mass citizenships when he met with some a few weeks ago.

Khalid Sheik Mohammed should be tried and riddled with holes by now. Also a number of other Muslim terrorists both foreign and domestic should have been executed. Like I said many years ago, no Muslim terrorist is going to be formally executed outside a drone strike during Obama's Presidency.

My big concern is that he gives Gitmo back to the Cubans.

If Obama doesn't pardon Hillary (or even Bill for that matter), Trump should order a full investigation into the investigation of the server issue and the Clinton foundation. Then he should forever sit on it as an insurance policy.

But first things first, line up KSM for a firing squad and release the SEAL pics of Osama bin Ladin.

If he tries, it will be undone the day after the inauguration.

It's not "his" to "give"!

In fact it would be "enjoyable" if he tried.

Another nail in his legacy-coffin.

There are more people serving longer for ( forbidden subject) than for murder. Let them out, more and more states are passing laws making it legal.
