The monstrous policies and legacy of Barack Obama
Posted By: Dreadnought, 6/6/2026 12:43:37 AM
I remember the scene on the Senate floor. The occasion was the vote to repeal the Affordable Care Act—Obamacare. It came down to John McCain, who hated Donald Trump with a burning passion eclipsing common Trump Derangement Syndrome. As one of his final acts on this Earth, McCain, aping every corrupt, movie Roman Emperor, raised his thumb and ominously, slowly, grinning like an evil lunatic, turned it thumbs down. Obamacare—arguably Obama’s most expensive destructive legacy-- was saved, and not because it has ever worked. McCain saved it out of spite. That was only one of Obama’s destructive legacies. Jon Gabriel’s classic Twitter post sums up another:

Downing Street has hit out at "people trying to interfere in our democracy and seeking to stir up division", after JD Vance's comments on the murder of Henry Nowak.
The US vice-president blamed the death of the 18-year-old British student, who was fatally stabbed last year in Southampton by Vickrum Digwa, on the "mass invasion of migrants" and said the "only response" was "righteous anger".
After the post on X, the Downing Street spokesman said the Nowak family had "said they do not want his death to be used to create further division".

Seriously? What could embarrass the "party of women" and muh democracy more than backing a Nazi-tatted misogynist with a history of lies and violence?
Funny you should ask.
As it happens, Democrats have an opportunity to hold onto a Senate seat in Michigan, and probably could – if they could manage to nominate a candidate that has some appeal to the electorate that voted for Donald Trump. Instead, Democrats are about to nominate another extreme candidate that could allow Republicans to expand their majority in the upper chamber. And Abdul el-Sayed might join

Graham Platner Allegations From Its Own Story 8 replies
When the New York Times spoke with Lyndsey Fifield about her experiences with Graham Platner, the paper made promises. Representatives of the paper said they would protect her, that men couldn't keep getting away with it. They collected her diary pages, her screenshots, her contacts, and walked away with everything she had. Then they published their story.
The story they published was damning, but, according to Fifield, they omitted the most serious allegation.
Fifield had every reason to stay quiet. She described her current life as genuinely good, raising two young daughters in a safe neighborhood, working from home, active in her church, and surrounded by close friends and family.
As predictable as the Sun rising in the East, new bombshells dropped against the embattled Maine Democrat Senate candidate, Herr Oystergruppenfuhrer Graham Platner. The New York Times published an article enumerating some deeply concerning behaviors by Platner as told by his ex-girlfriends. An emergency interview with MS Now’s Chris Hayes ensued. Here are some of the most telling moments from that interview.
For the most part, the interview played like a 24-minute extended remix of The New York Times’s Lulu García-Navarro asking Platner whether there was anything else he wanted to get ahead of
I'm not sure if he said it first, but Mark Steyn probably said it most clearly: Demographics is destiny. A society that doesn’t reproduce is going to perish. Unless it replenishes its population through immigration, in which case, it’s going to be a very different society, and almost certainly not one that nations’ founders ever envisioned. That’s the reality of contemporary Europe, including England, and it’s not pretty, as Matt Goodwin reports:
According to new figures from Eurostat, the people of Europe are experiencing the most profound demographic shift in their history. Between 2010 and today, in only 16 years, the number of foreign-born residents in Europe rocketed
US employers added 172,000 jobs in May while the country’s unemployment rate held steady at 4.3%, a sign of a resilient labor market despite rising inflation and economic uncertainty brought on by continued conflict in the Middle East.
Economists initially predicted there would be about 80,000 new jobs and a steady unemployment rate of 4.3%. Job figures for March and April were also revised up 29,000 and 64,000, respectively, a 93,000 boost compared to initial figures. The new data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics is the latest in a number of reports that have pointed to strong hiring in recent months, despite
Zack Polanski, the Jewish, anti-Israel leader of Britain’s Green Party, has backed a call to monitor UK-Israeli nationals who have recently served in the Israel Defense Forces, British media reported Wednesday.
Polanski signed a letter organized last month by the far-left Declassified Britain publication and the International Centre of Justice for Palestinians, which urges tracking the entry of dual nationals as they come into the country as being “in the public interest” due to possible war crimes suspicions.
“Nobody wants to live next to a potential war criminal – not least members of the Palestinian community in the UK who have family or friends
A More Optimistic View on Iran

I have often expressed puzzlement over the Trump administration’s cease fire in Iran and its strategy going forward. In general, my views align with Scott’s, as expressed earlier today. However, for a more optimistic view, check out Condoleezza Rice’s op-ed in the Wall Street Journal:
The war against Iran has been a limited war, and its outcome is likely to be inconclusive. But it has achieved enough to produce a far better Middle East.
The three-month military campaign degraded Iran’s ability to project power by significantly damaging its conventional forces, missile stockpiles and proxies.
Yes. That was the objective, and the objective has been achieved.
It's been over four years since it became clear that Vladimir Putin couldn't win the war in Ukraine. For most of that time, the Russian president-for-life has maintained the support of his oligarchs and nationalist hawks as he tried to wear down Kyiv and Volodymyr Zelensky, not to mention Joe Biden and Donald Trump. Putin has also managed to keep the Russian economy from collapsing, surprising many observers, but the war has encroached in more significant ways than expected of late.
The Wall Street Journal reports today that Putin's core of political and financial support may have soured on the war and wants Putin to end it, but perhaps doesn't
Rumors have swirled all week that the New York Times had a story ready to drop that would make Graham Platner's situation even worse than before. Senate Democrats must have gotten wind of it on Tuesday, as the Wall Street Journal reported that several of them began asking the presumptive Senate nominee from Maine some very pointed and specific questions about his past relationships with women. Other media outlets reported that Platner left DC earlier than expected after these questions arose, with the campaign claiming it had something to do with Platner's father.
That turned out to be a lie. The NYT finally dropped the story this afternoon,
There is so much to write about the Henry Nowak murder in Hampshire, it's hard to know where to begin.
As horrific as we thought the whole affair was, we didn't know the half of it, and now that we are seeing the response of the Labour Party to the anger in their country, they look even worse than before, which is hard to imagine.
In this post, I want to focus on two big issues: the first being Digwa's behavior after he stabbed Nowak several times and how the evidence was hidden from everyone, and the second being how the luminaries

Americans should expect, at a minimum, to have elections that are free and fair, and results that are delivered promptly. But California is taking its laid-back reputation too far, failing to deliver its election results in a timely manner and creating the perception that they are neither free nor fair.
Slothful election results have plagued California for years since it made wholesale changes to its election system in 2016. It has mass mail-in ballots that can be counted post-election and allows for an extremely slow pace of counting.
Proponents of the system say this makes their elections more “secure” and accessible.

A Marine Corps veteran fought off a group of teens who tried to carjack him at gunpoint in broad daylight in Maryland.
Jheyco Borda was working on his truck in Oxon Hill — about 10 miles outside Washington, DC — when four hooded teens approached him around 4:45 p.m. Tuesday, surveillance video posted to his Facebook page shows.
“Be careful and be aware of your surroundings,” Borda warned in the caption. [Video]
The teens surrounded Borda at the bed of his truck while one suspect — who was wearing a red, white and blue sweatshirt — pulled out a pistol and pointed it at the veteran’s head,

More than two decades ago, the leader of the National Socialist Party of America decided he wanted out of the white nationalist movement. The leader approached the Southern Poverty Law Center, which has positioned itself as the nation’s preeminent watchdog of “hate,” and for helping people get out of such groups.
The individual was out of money and no longer wanted to be a part of the movement. But, instead of helping the individual break free, the SPLC had something else in mind.
The organization allegedly offered him a monthly salary funneled through a fictitious entity to maintain the extremist organization,

Sixty-seven minutes elapsed between the time Henry Nowak was stabbed by Vickrum Digwa and his death, on December 3 last year, in Southampton, England.
Sixty-seven minutes when his life could have been saved were it not for the incompetence and institutional corruption of the British police and the clannishness and cunning of an Indian Sikh family who knew just how to exploit those weaknesses to paint themselves, fatally, as the victims.
By claiming the stabbing was really a racist attack against the stabber himself, the entire Digwa family ensured Henry Nowak would die.
Instead of taking the victim’s anguished cries seriously as he lay bleeding to death—“I’ve been stabbed”:
The detainees inside Delaney Hall detention center claim they are on a hunger strike due to the alleged conditions there. However, it’s not really a hunger strike—they’re eating Doritos and Honey Buns. Moreover, Jennie Taer from Daily Wire reported that it’s even more elaborate, with sushi and shellfish on the menu. It’s all just a show, which you’ve probably figured out from the start (via Daily Wire): [Tweets]

At the end of the day, you won’t find a more envious, petty, bitter, and catty bunch of people than liberal women. When they’re not feeding their cats, they’re online, often wasting what little time we all have on this earth following the lives of people they detest — people who are actively living their own lives, like Karoline Leavitt.
That would explain why the White House press secretary, who is on maternity leave, has the liberal “Karens” all tied in knots over her social posts about things like recipes, healthy eating, and motherhood.

New information about the brutal stabbing murder of 18-year-old Henry Nowak continues to surface, and each revelation is seemingly worse than the last. In the latest development the Daily Mail now outlines that Nowak’s killer, Vickrum Digwa, actually recorded his victim lying on the ground in agony as the murderer mocked him.
Incredibly the judge in the trial ruled the killer’s own recording of his murder, “too disturbing to be shown” in court. Digwa did not call for an ambulance after stabbing his victim but did take pictures and record Henry Nowak. However, the killer’s own video was NOT shown in court! The footage the court ruled
A Cornell student activist who hounded the Ivy League school’s president Michael Kotlikoff in the parking lot following an Israel-Palestine debate has been banned from campus.
Aiden Vallecillo is prohibited from attending any events at the Ithaca institution for one year after he was a part of a larger group of students who filmed and surrounded Kotlikoff, demanding to talk with the administrator as he walked to his car on April 30, according to WBNG.
Vallecillo, who graduated from the elite upstate university in May, was issued a persona non grata by university police at his off-campus apartment, on May 28, five days after graduating from the school.

As Americans paying attention—that would include American Thinker readers—know, the media has cherished narratives it defends with mama bear fierceness. Among those narratives is the existence of wide-spread islamophobia. When Islamists attack Jews and others on college campuses, the media wails about the dangers of islamophobia. And when people with Muslim names are attacked, the same wailing rises to mosque tops. Such a horrific hate crime recently took place in Minneapolis, where a Muslim was murdered—oh, the humanity!--[snip] surely a white guy and probably a Jew!—killing an innocent Muslim, and on a Muslim holy day to boot!
A judge in Lonoke County, Arkansas, on Thursday dismissed second-degree murder charges against Army veteran Aaron Spencer, who was facing charges for fatally shooting Michael Fosler, who allegedly sexually abused and kidnapped his minor daughter.
The decision came just weeks before Spencer, who is currently running for county sheriff, was scheduled to stand trial for the 2024 incident.
Special Circuit Court Judge Ralph Wilson Jr. ruled that law enforcement’s faulty handling of evidence made it impossible to give Spencer a fair trial. Much of the issue centered on a dash camera memory card taken from Fosler’s truck. The camera could have recorded the incident,
