The federal judge in Washington, D.C., who has been assigned to oversee the latest charges filed by special counsel Jack Smith against former President Donald Trump on Tuesday, is probably the worst possible choice for him. U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, an Obama appointee, has been called “the toughest punisher” of Jan. 6 rioters, but she has a nefarious past in addition to that distinction.  Jack Smith Forced To Admit to ‘Incorrect' Claim About Evidence In Trump Classified Documents Case. It's the video evidence we pointed out on Monday's show!.  United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres' office has condemned a series of drone attacks on Moscow and called for an end to “any and all attacks on civilian facilities.” Russia has blamed the “terrorist strikes” on Ukraine, and Kiev has heavily suggested that it was responsible. This confirms what we already knew about Ukraine, they LOVE targeting civilians, even if they are their own. Bidenomics has caused the US credit rating to be slashed from AAA to AA+. The last downgrade to the US credit rating was in 2011 due to Obamanomics. Notice a pattern here? Naturally the White House is blaming Donald Trump. ~~~~FOLLOW US ON RUMBLE~~~~

"Former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher once said that the problem with socialism is that eventually you "run out of other people's money." And it's not just tax dollars she was talking about, as the Obama presidency has shown."   Gore Vidal, the elegant, acerbic all-around man of letters who presided with a certain relish over what he declared to be the end of American civilization, died on Tuesday at his home in the Hollywood Hills section of Los Angeles, where he moved in 2003, after years of living in Ravello, Italy.

A striking clash between those who feel a profound duty to report that the young Obama was nurtured by Marxists, socialists, and Communists and those who think it is a better idea to erase this information from the public record is on display in two current books.  One book provided key politically significant details of a heated debate I had with the young Marxist-Leninist Obama over Christmas break 1980.  The other book only confirmed that young Obama and his roommate were both in my vicinity at the time.  The gap between how Paul Kengor covered Obama's Christmas break in The Communist and how David Maraniss covered this same moment in Barack Obama: The Story is chilling.

There are numerous reasons why Obama will lose.  Incompetence, likeability, and duplicity are a few.  Obama has alienated too many in the electorate, including large numbers who supported him the first time.  In 2012, many will vote against him or (even better) just stay home.

Karl Marx said history repeats itself, "first as tragedy, then as farce."  Barack Obama has reversed that.  His first term was certainly farce; his second will be tragedy.

President Obama knows that every public statement he makes is recorded and lives forever on the internet.  That is cause for serious worry.  The best campaign ad to run against Obama is one that uses his own words -- and those of the officials he has empowered -- against him.  When it comes to high gasoline prices, this is a target-rich environment.

Ever wonder why Obama looks so sharp in a dark suit?  Ever wonder about that ear-to-ear professional grin he's got?  About those little dramatic pauses before he drops a well-rehearsed line?  Ever wonder where he keeps his high hat and magic wand? Well, you don't have to wonder any longer.  We're due to see another magic campaign by The Great Obimi.  It'll be one stunt after another, like those styrofoam Greek columns at his victory rally in Denver. Now that the GOP race is settling out, Obama is starting his real campaign.  That messianic halo is beginning to hover over his head again.  People are beginning to faint at his performances.  The other day he asked his audience to stay calm and let that fainting lady or gent be treated by the medics.

Obama, the Other Huey Long The president is more like the Depression era's populist Louisiana governor than like FDR. The “Obama as FDR” meme emerged immediately after the elections. The November 20 issue of TheEconomist noted, in an article critical of the comparison: Washington is currently buzzing with talk of Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Members of Mr. Obama's inner circle are reading up on FDR's first 100 days. No political conversation is complete without a knowing reference to the squire of Hyde Park. Both Time (on the cover) and the New Yorker (on an inside page) feature pictures of Mr. Obama as FDR, smoking a cigarette, driving an open-top car and looking very much as though he has nothing to fear but fear itself.

  President Obama seems to be downsizing the American Dream. In an insufficiently noticed January 25th speech in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, he said: "Folks don't have unrealistic ambitions. They do believe that if they work hard they should be able to achieve that small measure of an American Dream."   "Unrealistic ambitions" -- is he serious?  "Small measure of an American Dream" -- it sounds like he's conceding that the Lefts' version of "utopia" is really just settling for the crumbs that the elites drop on the floor.  Is this the new normal?  I'm sure glad Steve Jobs didn't act on this kind of advice -- I really do enjoy my iPhone.  And I'm glad I didn't act on such tripe as well.

Obama is not the cool, calm, and collected guy that he portrays publicly; he's far from it.  Obama is described privately as a thin-skinned hot-head when it comes to questioning his policies, or anything else, for that matter. Though there has been a slight shift upward in Obama's poll numbers, Obama knows the real temperature of the American people.  Here are 10 indicators as to why Obama will have sleepless nights leading up to the election of 2012:

Ohio looms large on Super Tuesday. Can Romney increase his delegate lead?   A win in Ohio on Super Tuesday could restore Mitt Romney's clear front-runner status. But senior Republicans are decrying the toxic nature of the campaign, and some prominent conservative commentators doubt that either Romney or Rick Santorum could beat Barack Obama.

Son of Islam?  Let's get real. Aside from his childhood attendance at a Muslim school in Indonesia, a school that was selected for him by his parents, Obama has never shown much interest in Islam.  Nor, some would say, has he demonstrated a sincere interest in Christianity. Obama's attendance at Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago may have had more to do with political opportunism than religious devotion.  In reality, there's little evidence that Obama as an adult has shown much interest in any religion.

Georgia is home to some brave citizens who dared to challenge, under state law, President Obama's constitutional eligibility to run for a second term. The three cases stipulated that Obama was not qualified as a "natural born" citizen because his father was not a US citizen.  As reported here on American Thinker in a series of columns, the administrative judge found for the defendant, and last week, Georgia's Secretary of State Brian Kemp upheld the ruling -- that Obama's name should appear on Georgia's 2012 ballot.

History is replete with great men like Barack Obama -- transformational leaders of wide renown, seeking to shape history in their own image, never realizing it is not great men who make history; it is history which makes great men.   Our president has never been more than an epigone of a great man.  And the cold glare of history will see Barack Obama for the man he truly is -- and it will not matter what the meaning of "is" is.

Barack Obama has gone from the "one we've been waiting for" to the one we can't wait to kick out.  No one ever thought one man could bring the nation to its knees, but here he is living in the White House.  And on our knees we have been, praying for the day when he leaves.  The audacity of a president hell-bent on destroying our great nation has truly been a stunning spectacle to observe.  No lie is too ridiculous to tell about anyone who opposes him.  With a compliant media behind him, the smears this demagogue-in-chief promises to unleash on his opponent this fall could divide the county so badly that it becomes ungovernable.

Is President Obama the mastermind of the radical-left movement or merely its symbol?  Actually, it doesn't matter.  What matters is that the socialist project, which had been nearly a century in the making, in 2008 came to fruition, winning the presidential election and seizing power.  And whether the face of the movement, Barack Obama, is indeed its leader or just a puppet of a revolutionary cabal is purely academic.  Still, trying to divine the truth is an intriguing proposition.  So let me take a stab at this intellectually stimulating game.  And no, I'm not going to indulge in guesswork, trying to penetrate the veil of mystery surrounding Obama, a man without a past.  My intention is to arrive at an answer by induction from what is a matter of public record and what is in plain view.
