The Obama Order That Changed Everything ~ Ep. 1261 ~ The Dan Bongino Show®

From the Dan Bongino Show's description of this episode on youtube.com/Bongino or in his Show Notes:

In this episode, I address the explosive Obama Executive Order which has escaped media scrutiny in the unmasking scandal. I also address the death of George Floyd and the rioting in Minneapolis. Finally, I discuss the media’s desperation to spin the Coronavirus tragedy in blue states.

Normally, this post would have been done just after seeing this episode. It didn't happen, though, this time. No, I didn't go out and do a fire pit, which would be one of my excellent excuses, which I'll be utilizing on a regular basis as Summer goes on. Unfortunately, though, I have health issues that are affected by the weather, especially when a low pressure system is going over. I know I'm not alone in that happening to many Seniors. Well, anyway, my focus was way off last night when it came to writing. After seeing this episode, and seeing the things on the news about the riots in my neighbor State of Minnesota, and having been to Minneapolis a few times, I shared in everyone's grief about what was happening there.

Like Dan, I was disgusted by what the police officers did in this situation. "The fight was over," as Dan explained in his first segment about the very horrifying incident where a person was tragically killed by a law enforcement officer, while the other three officers said nothing like, "Okay, sit him up, now, it's over!" So disgusting. But, as I was watching news last night, I was agreeing completely with Dan in regard to the rioting. What good could come out of doing the things they did? Burning things and looting won't bring back George Floyd. It won't change bad cops into good ones. It won't make Floyd's family happy, but in fact, intensify their sorrow and anguish. Okay, if you want to protest, you have the right and the freedom to do that. But protesting doesn't include the outright lawlessness. If you want to burn something, go make an effigy of a rogue cop. Burn that. Be my guest. But destruction of property and theft is the wrong way to get the point across. Many churches or places of worship will soon be open. Go pray for the man's family, and for all the law enforcement officers that will now have a more difficult job.

Being that the incidents in Minneapolis have been the primary story in this news cycle, I'll just close this post right here. I definitely want you to see this whole episode, and soak in what Dan tells you about Obama's Executive Order 12333. It's extremely important to have that information, especially when you start hearing about AG Barr assigning a U.S. Attorney for the DOJ to look into the "unmasking" and spying on Gen. Mike Flynn. Oh, yeah, somebody's bagels are going to be burning up. For sure.  Just don't miss seeing the rest of this episode for some more brilliant analysis and commentary.

Time 2 Escape WIFLI Briefing for Saturday, Feb 18, 2012

Welcome to this edition of Time 2 Escape WIFLI Briefing!

What is WIFLI?
You may be wondering what the acronym "WIFLI" means. I started out by calling these issues the Time 2 Escape Daily, but that didn't work out very well. I quickly learned that putting these issues together on a daily basis was a task I was unable to accomplish. To replace "Daily" in the title, I coined the acronym WIFLI, which literally means "When I Feel Like It." Putting together a post on this blog WIFLI works much better for my schedule, and for the higher quality of each issue that is eventually published!

I watched a big portion of Whitney Houston's home going (aka: funeral, celebration of life) today. I was celebrating her life much more than I was mourning our loss. I did feel much relief knowing that she was a Christian, which I heard from many of the speakers today.

There are people that say that Americans spend too much time paying attention to entertainment. They say that the New World Order, or Satan, uses entertainment and sports to keep us from seeing what is happening to our Freedom. Sure, there are definitely people out there that are totally oblivious to what is going on the world, but could tell you what they were doing when they heard that Michael Jackson, or even Anna Nicole Smith, was dead. The point is, not everyone is that consumed in the entertainment and sports industries. In actuality, there are many of us that point to the great abilities of various Americans, and celebrate those people in the name of American Exceptionalism. It is truly a great country that allows people to use their abilities to succeed to higher levels. I believe that was what Rick Santorum was saying just the other day, as a matter of FACT.

The great battle in this election year is truly defined by the ultimate conflict between Capitalism and Marxism. Which ever Republican wins the nomination will be the one that best communicates it to the GOP voters. In order to win the election for President this fall, they will need to be able to continue that message in order to also win over the independents and conservative Democrats.

As always, I've put together this issue of the WIFLI Briefing so that you can catch up with things, especially for those of you who were taking your Time 2 Escape this weekend into the realms of entertainment and sports. It's okay. I do that occasionally, too. I'm just sayin'...

Boehner supports Fast and Furious investigation
Committee moves closer to contempt procedures against Holder
From WND Politics ~ By Jerome Corsi ~ February 16, 2012

As House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa, R-Calif., moved closer to beginning a contempt-of-Congress process against Attorney General Eric Holder, Speaker of the House John Boehner, R-Ohio, reaffirmed his strong support of the investigation of the Department of Justice gun-tracing operation known as “Fast and Furious.”

Issa spokesman Michael Steel rebuffed rumors that circulated during the recent Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington claiming Boehner had learned from his time as a young congressman under then-Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich that it is unwise for a Republican majority in the House to oppose a sitting Democratic Party president.

“Such speculation is absurd and untrue,” Steel told WND in an email.

Boehner confirmed as much, himself, today at a news conference.

The speaker was asked by a reporter if he would support the more than 100 members of the House who have called for Holder to resign and bring a proposed resolution of no confidence to the House floor.

“I think Chairman Issa and the members of the committee have done a very good job of investigating this abuse of government power, and I continue to support their efforts and believe that this Justice Department must be held accountable,” Boehner said.

Santorum: I'm Against Government Bailouts — 'Period'
From NEWSMAX ~ By Hiram Reisner ~ Friday, 17 Feb 2012 05:09 AM

Presidential candidate Rick Santorum says while both he and opponent Mitt Romney were against the government’s bailout of the auto industry, there is a fundamental difference between their two stances on federal intervention in salvaging businesses. The former Pennsylvania senator told Fox News’ Greta van Susteren Thursday that voters in Michigan — an auto industry and important primary state — will come to realize he is against government bailouts of any kind: ‘Period.”

RICK SANTORUM

“Well, I think I’m different than Governor Romney on that front — I mean, Governor Romney supported the Wall Street bailout, it was OK to go in and have the government take a huge role in bailing out big financial institutions, but it wasn’t OK for them to come and bail out the big manufacturers in this country, which are the hub of the manufacturing industry,” Santorum said, adding that voters in Michigan, which holds its GOP primary on Feb. 28, will see that “my position is consistent.”

“My position says: I’m not for the government getting involved in bailouts, period. And that to me is something that the folks in Detroit [will] say: ‘Well, look, here’s a man of principle,” he said. “Romney, who claims to be — you know, hails from southwest Michigan — and be a great defender of, and [have an] understanding of, the industrial heartland of this area . . . he supported his friends on Wall Street, but did not support the auto industry. And that’s where I think the inconsistency is. It’s not in my position.”

Al Qaeda on rise in Syria, has 'marriage of convenience' with Iran, US intelligence director says
Fox News' Catherine Herridge and the Associated Press contributed to this report.
 From FoxNews.com ~ Published February 17, 2012

WASHINGTON – The nation's top intelligence adviser told Congress on Thursday that Al Qaeda "is extending its reach into Syria" -- possibly with Iran's help.

JAMES CLAPPER
Director of National Intelligence

In a rare public admission, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper said Al Qaeda and the Iranian regime have a "shotgun marriage, or marriage of convenience." More significantly, given the series of attacks this week linked to Iran, Clapper said Tehran appears to see Al Qaeda as an insurance policy -- a "surrogate or proxy" -- against future Western aggression.

This public confirmation comes as U.S. officials investigate the release of five Al Qaeda members after "years of house arrest" in Iran. The men include Saif al-Adel, who was tipped as the likely replacement for Usama bin Laden.

COMMENTARY

300 million government slaves?
Exclusive: Phil Elmore explains how natural rights mitigate against Obama liberalism
From WND Commentary ~ By Phil Elmore ~ Published Feb 15, 2012

PHIL ELMORE

The debate over Obama’s attempt to order religious organizations and insurance companies to offer specific coverage has until now centered on a threat to religious freedom. Most of this debate completely misses the philosophical and political issue we should be arguing, namely: What part of the United States Constitution mandates that citizens pay, through taxes, for other citizens’ entirely elective medical treatments? When did contraception or abortion become “rights,” and where do these demands end?

Setting aside the obviously false notion that abortions are regularly and routinely required to save the lives of otherwise healthy pregnant women, the debate over Glorious Leader Obama’s health-care dictates should and must be centered on the fundamental violation of individual rights they represent. Explanations of this infringement are found in the work of the founders; they are found in the writings of philosophers both ancient and modern, from Aristotle to Ayn Rand, John Locke to Friedrich Nietzsche, David Kelley to Robert Nozick. These men and women understood that philosophy is politics, and the reality of the world around us precludes any justification – morally and rationally – for government theft of your property.

Briefly, the Founding Fathers of the United States indicated their acceptance of, and based the United States Constitution on, the concept of natural rights. Your natural rights stem directly from a fact few can argue: You are a discrete biological entity.

Thomas Sowell continues analysis of early 20th century's interventionist policies
From WND Commentary ~ By Thomas Sowell ~ Published Feb 16, 2012

THOMAS SOWELL

“Often wrong but never in doubt” is a phrase that summarizes much of what was done by Presidents Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson, the two giants of the Progressive era, a century ago.

Their legacy is very much alive today, both in their mindset – including government picking winners and losers in the economy and interventionism in foreign countries – as well as specific institutions created during the Progressive era, such as the income tax and the Federal Reserve System.

Like so many Progressives today, Theodore Roosevelt felt no need to study economics before intervening in the economy. He said of “economic issues” that “I am not deeply interested in them, my problems are moral problems.” For example, he found it “unfair” that railroads charged different rates to different shippers, reaching the moral conclusion that these rates were discriminatory and should be forbidden “in every shape and form.”

Time to tame the federal beast
Andrew Napolitano: 'We need a game changer in the White House, now more than ever'
From WND Commentary ~ By Andrew Napolitano ~ Published Feb 15, 2012

ANDREW NAPOLITANO

When the federal government was created, those who risked their lives and their fortunes and their scared honors to secede from England were animated by recent events. The government did not come into existence in a vacuum. Rather, those who led the Revolutionary War joined those who fought and financed it to create a central government that would be constitutionally incapable of doing to Americans what King George III and Parliament did to the colonists.

The king abridged many personal freedoms, but among them, religion and the right to keep income were at the top of the list, along with the freedom of speech and the right to be left alone. The reason religious rights and property rights so animated the founders is simple: They had been aggressively assaulted by the British government, and most of it had to do with money.

The king and Parliament imposed a tax on the colonists to support the king’s church in England. And the king and Parliament imposed an obligation on the colonists to purchase the king’s stamps and to affix them to all papers in their possession in America. The Stamp Act led to the invasion of the colonists’ homes by British soldiers without warrants, ostensibly looking for the stamps. Both of these taxes led to the Revolution, and the bitter aftertaste they left behind, in turn, led to a firm determination on the part of those who wrote the Constitution to craft a document that would assure that the new government would be constitutionally incapable of similar behavior.

Social Conservatives Must Remain United
From NEWSMAX ~ By David Limbaugh ~ Published Friday, 17 Feb 2012 09:23 AM

DAVID LIMBAUGH

A strong move is on to demonize and marginalize social conservatives, a move that originates from the political left but is being aided by some on the right, a move that is based on assumptions that better describe the leftist accusers than they do their targets.

Obama, by rewriting the Bush rules to protect healthcare providers who objected on moral grounds to abortion, has breached his repeated promise to preserve them and has dealt a significant blow to religious liberties, yet he is painting people of faith as the extremists.

In his University of Notre Dame speech, he said, "Let's honor the conscience of those who disagree with abortion and draft a sensible conscience clause and make sure that all our healthcare policies are grounded not only in sound science but also in clear ethics, as well as respect for the equality of women."

In his propaganda speeches for Obamacare, he said, "One more misunderstanding I want to clear up: Under our plan . . . federal conscience laws will remain in place."

But what about his actions? Well, a few months before his Notre Dame speech, the administration disclosed that it had begun the process of overturning the Bush protections.

OUTSIDE of the BOX

Your life is yours
From The Daily Motivator ~ By Ralph Marston ~ Saturday, February 18, 2012

RALPH MARSTON

True fulfillment requires responsibility. Your life is yours, so step up and take responsibility for it.

If you expect someone else to do it for you, what you end up with will have no real meaning to you. When you avoid responsibility you cheat yourself out of much of life’s richness.

Living with full responsibility for your own life is not easy. Yet taking the easy way out in the short term, leads to a life that is tragically difficult in the long run.

God help us … please! ~ By Pat Boone

Friend, are you not feeling the earthquake right under our feet, threatening everything we are and have?

Perversely, our very liberties, our tolerance and protection for religious expression, are being used against us to weaken and destroy our foundations.

Most alarmingly, our president, raised by Muslim fathers and taught Islamic tenets in his early and impressionable years in Indonesia, seems to think America can work with the Muslim Brotherhood, with Director of Intelligence James Clapper claiming the organization is "largely secular."

Is it possible, even credible, that he thinks the Brotherhood can be like the Benevolent Order of Elks or our Rotary Clubs? That they will "fundamentally transform" themselves into the direct opposite of all they've stood for these last 80 years? Is this another example of "never hearing" the rants of his preacher, Jeremiah Wright?

Pat Boone, probably inspired by the horrendous earthquake in Japan, uses an earthquake that he had experienced in 1994 in California to illustrate the idea that "[t]he foundations of our nation are being shaken to the core." Pat's commentary primarily focuses on the Muslim Brotherhood. It is right here in America! Pat asks, "are you not feeling the earthquake right under our feet, threatening everything we are and have?"

At the end of the column, Pat recommends "a visit to frontpagemag.com, to obtain some earthquake knowledge and insurance, while there's still time." Of course, I took him up on that suggestion, and found myself surfing through the site only to find another interesting site, called "DiscoverTheNetworks.org, A Guide to the Political Left."

As Pat endorsed the visit to frontpagemag.com, I would also like to suggest a visit to both of the sites. They are chock full of great information, not just about the Muslim Brotherhood, but also includes a database on DiscoverTheNetwork.org about such actors as George Soros, and much more.

I was just thinking that DiscoverTheNetworks.org would seem to be a great resource for somebody like Glenn Beck, when I found this video of Glenn's endorsement of the site:

If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?

– Psalms 11:3

I live in California. I've only been through one gigantic earthquake, the one in 1994. It's the last one I ever want to experience.

It was about 4:30 am in Beverly Hills; wife Shirley and I were asleep in our bedz … when it seemed the whole world was suddenly coming apart – over, around and beneath us. There was a cavernous roar, the house was trying to shake apart, glass was falling from every shelf, the floor seemed everywhere like a huge skateboard. It seemed like the end of the world.

In the first few seconds, Shirley was screaming, "Pat! OH GOD! Help us!" As I met her at foot of the bed in the dark chaos, I kept trying to assure her we'd be OK, and I held her tight as we rode out a minute or two in the doorway of our bedroom, quoting Scriptures and praying aloud. After about three minutes of nightmarish upheaval, the quake quieted momentarily, and we made it out the front door, fully expecting to see our two story house cave in behind us.

Thankfully, it didn't. Our house and its contents were spared much of the more horrible destruction that others experienced, but we'll never, ever forget what that earthquake was like. There was nothing reliable to hold on to; even the ceiling might fall on us (as our waving chimney tried to), and the floor might open up and send us heaving into a newly open chasm beneath us. We couldn't call authorities to help us, and what could they do anyway? It was like an antechamber to hell.

Well, my friend, I may be sharing some similar feelings with you right now, as we look at what's happening in and around the United States of America.

The foundations of our nation are being shaken to the core. A government that was intended, as Lincoln proclaimed, to be "of the people, by the people and for the people" has degenerated into a largely unresponsive, irresponsible self-serving and self-perpetuating machine, led by a clique of far-left socialistic "progressives" who intend to control virtually everything, and who will dictate to the people what they can and cannot do.

And while our very constitutional foundations are being shaken and sometimes just willfully ignored, we are being assaulted and infiltrated by a religious ideology that seeks world domination, and is, by its scriptures and directives attributed to its prophetic forebears, commissioned to convert, subjugate – or kill – every last person on earth. This ideology already has over a billion adherents, and it is growing in our bowels daily.
