Prompted by reports that Barack Obama has no intention of attending his official portrait unveiling while President Trump is in office, sources told NBC News that Trump has decided not to hold the ceremony at the White House. This marks a break from a 40-year tradition honored by presidents from both parties.
The tradition of previous presidents returning to the White House to meet with their successor to unveil their portraits spans back to the 1970s and has provided some rare moments of praise and bipartisanship; however, the tense air between Obama and President Trump is too thick, and neither of them reportedly wants it to happen.
Their public war-of-words has heightened over the past few days, with Trump frequently mentioning “Obamagate” and Obama telling graduating college students last weekend that Trump has mishandled the country’s approach to the coronavirus.
Unlike most prior presidents, Obama has continued to thrust himself into the limelight since leaving the White House. Most recently, he excoriated President Trump’s response to the coronavirus pandemic in a virtual commencement address he gave for 2020 high school and college graduates.
Though he didn’t specifically mention President Trump by name, Obama stated, “More than anything, this pandemic has fully, finally torn back the curtain on the idea that so many of the folks in charge know what they’re doing. A lot of them aren’t even pretending to be in charge.”
Sources familiar with the portrait unveiling matter reportedly told NBC News that Obama has no interest in participating in the post-presidency tradition as long as Trump is in office—and Trump has no qualms about halting the presidential custom.
If Trump wins a second term in November, Obama may have to wait until 2025 to have his portrait revealed and displayed in the White House among every U.S. president before him. The White House and a representative for Obama did not immediately respond to requests for comments on the matter from various media sources.
These types of events are critical parts of our culture—who we are as a people and a nation. In participating in these rituals, presidents are not only a part of the culture, they help mold, shape, and evolve it.
Considering Obama hasn’t upheld the long-standing tradition American presidents have espoused of leaving office quietly, it isn’t shocking that he refuses to break yet another historical convention.

thepoliticalinsider--2020-05-19--Hollywood Liberals Have Full Meltdown Over Trump Taking Hydroxychloroquine

The liberal elites of Hollywood have gone into full meltdown mode since President Donald Trump announced on Monday that he has been taking the anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine as a preventative measure against COVID-19 .
The mainstream media had a field day after Trump said that he has been taking the drug for a week and feels just fine .

The liberal elites of Hollywood have gone into full meltdown mode since President Donald Trump announced on Monday that he has been taking the anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine as a preventative measure against COVID-19.
The mainstream media had a field day after Trump said that he has been taking the drug for a week and feels just fine. Many leftwing outlets pushed the fake news narrative that Trump is only backing hydroxychloroquine because he stands to profit from it financially, claiming that he owns a stake in the pharmaceutical giant Sanofi that makes the drug, according to Breitbart News.
It has previously been found that this narrative is effectively false, as Trump’s financial disclosures show that his financial interest in Sanofi could be as much as $1,485 and as low as $99.10. Even the super-liberal Snopes has debunked claims that Trump is trying to profit financially off the drug, but this did not stop the liberals of Hollywood from trying to spread this narrative, with Barbra Streisand leading the charge:
Trump says he’s now taking hydroxychloroquine. He might be lying but could it be because he has a small stake in the company Sanofi who owns it? That’s according to Forbes this past April… — Barbra Streisand (@BarbraStreisand) May 18, 2020
Actress Mia Farrow also got in on the action by claiming that Trump has nefarious motives when it comes to pushing the drug, with actor Adam Goldberg chiming in to wrongly say that the president is an “investor.”
He’s an investor. — Wear a Fucking Mask or Stay Home (@TheAdamGoldberg) May 18, 2020
Bette Midler, who seems to enjoy bashing Trump like it’s her job these days, falsely claimed that hydroxychloroquine has been shown to be “completely ineffective” to fight coronavirus despite the fact that some patients have had fast recoveries after taking the drug.
The president says he’s taking hydroxychloroquine to protect himself from Covid-19, even though it’s been shown to be completely ineffective. Side effects are paranoia, hallucinations & psychosis. I guess he’s been taking it for YEARS! — bettemidler (@BetteMidler) May 19, 2020
“Law & Order: SVU” star Christopher Meloni described Trump taking the drug as a “gateway to stupid,” while comedian Chelsea Handler agreed that it was “stupid” for the president to be taking it.
Don’t like this…it’s a gateway stupid to even more stupid Trump admits he’s taking hydroxychloroquine | Raw Story https://t.co/k7zoXgzq6t — Chris Meloni (@Chris_Meloni) May 19, 2020
Trump taking hydroxychloroquine when he doesn’t have covid is so stupid. A better idea would be for him to swallow a bottle of the Clorox he recommended. Can we do that??? — Chelsea Handler (@chelseahandler) May 19, 2020
Other stars jumped on the fake news story that Trump had advocated for people to ingest bleach to fight COVID-19, which never actually happened.
But no mainlining Clorox yet, I’m gonna guess. https://t.co/bAr6UKrM2p — Jeffrey Wright (@jfreewright) May 18, 2020

Well, if he’s really taking hydroxychloroquine, maybe he’ll inject bleach next. Who knows with this guy. — George Takei (@GeorgeTakei) May 18, 2020
Finally, “The West Wing” actor Josh Malina called Trump a “rat” for taking the drug.
Hydroxychloroquine is an antimalaria drug that has not been proven to prevent COVID-19. But apparently clinical trials are being conducted on a single rat. — (((Josh Malina))) (@JoshMalina) May 18, 2020
Hollywood liberals are so consumed by anti-Trump stance that they are all bashing a drug that has the potential to save lives just to make him look bad.

Former congresswoman Katie Hill ( D-CA ) said she was driven to tears following the result of a special election that will put a Republican in her former seat representing California ’ s 25th Congressional District .
Hill , a Democrat , recently revealed that she cried for days when her former seat flipped to the GOP .
She resigned last year following allegations that she had improper relationships with aides in her office .
The inappropriate relationships prompted the House to open an ethics probe into the allegations against Hill .
To make matters even worse for Hill and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ seat was taken by a Latino veteran .
Republican Mike Garcia , the son of a Mexican immigrant and a veteran , won a special election last week that flipped the seat to Republican control .
Trump lost the district by six points in 2016 , but Garcia won by a 12-point margin against Democrat Christy Smith , a state assemblywoman .
This special election was the first time the GOP flipped a California congressional seat since 1998 .
Hill tweeted , “ So yeah it really hurt to have my old seat @ @ @ @ @ @ @ people & also for me , ” Hill said Sunday .
“ In fact , it was pretty f—ing devastating .
I went offline & cried for a few days but , as always , getting ready to stand back up & keep fighting .
Hope you are too.
” “ Let ’ s be clear .
My ex gave [ nonconsensual ] nude pics of me to the ppl who wanted this seat- people who were backing Garcia when he was my opponent .
They gave those pics to the press .

“ I take full responsibility for my mistakes , but this Republican win is no coincidence.
” What kind of grown adult – let alone a politician – would openly admit to crying over something like that ?
The media has scrambled since the election results were announced to “ explain ” how a Republican managed to pull off a win in that district .
Perhaps the biggest factor was that Katie Hill disgusted constituents with her pathetic behavior – behavior that appears to have not changed one bit @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .

Baker County Circuit Judge Matthew Shirtcliff made this ruling on Monday as he presided over a lawsuit filed by churches who argued that Brown’s social distancing guidelines were unconstitutional, according to Fox News.

“This will ensure we can continue to safeguard the health of all Oregonians — including frontline health care workers, those living in nursing homes, workers in agriculture and food processing plants, and Oregonians with underlying health conditions –– while the legal process moves forward,” Brown said.

House Democrats revealed to the Supreme Court Monday that they have not given up on their impeachment dreams as they seek secret grand jury material from Special Counsel Robert Mueller ’ s Russia investigation .
Douglas Letter , the House general counsel , said in a court filing that “ The Committee ’ s impeachment investigation related to obstruction of justice pertaining to the Russia investigation is ongoing.
” “ If this material reveals new evidence supporting the conclusion that President Trump committed impeachable offenses , ” Letter continues , “ the Committee will proceed accordingly – including , if @ @ @ @ @ @ @ new articles of impeachment.

Is there no shame in these endless efforts to overturn the 2016 election ?
Especially in light of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The House Democrats told the Supreme Court they are now looking into “ the possible exercise of improper political influence over recent decisions made in the Roger Stone and Michael Flynn prosecutions , both of which were initiated by the special counsel.
” Talk about having no concept of reality .
Pursuing ‘ improper political influence ’ regarding the Flynn case , when clear-cut evidence showing Barack Obama ’ s FBI maliciously entrapped the former national security adviser , is next-level insanity .
Handwritten notes from the day Flynn was interviewed by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ goal behind the interaction : “ Truth/Admission or to get him to lie , so we can prosecute him or get him fired ?

President Trump , speaking on the news of Flynn ’ s malicious prosecution and the Obama administration ’ s efforts to concoct a Russian collusion narrative , called those behind it “ human scum.

” Attorney General William Barr on Monday said , “ What happened to the president in the 2016 election in the first two years of his administration was abhorrent .
It was a grave injustice and it was unprecedented in American history.
” So , why are Democrats still actively investigating the President for these same fake crimes when it is they who should be investigated and removed from their positions ?

Progressives Infest Biden Campaign – Preparing Policies In Six Key Areas That Will Lead To Socialist America

It didn ’ t take long to happen .
You would think the progressives would let the politically moderate corpse of Joe Biden get a little chilly before they moved in for the grave robbery .
But gone , at least publicly , is the relatively center left senator who served Delaware for over thirty years .
Now in his place is an avian version of a Frankenstein monster with two left wings and no brain .
Joe SJW , Joe the PC warrior , Joe the climate change activist , and Joe the 4th wave feminist are just some @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in August .
Though that will be the grand unveiling , the dark deal that makes it so happened before Biden realized the consequences .
Now it ’ s too late .
When Joe made the unholy bargain that permitted Bernie Sanders to leave the Democrat primary race with his Bolshevik mane held high , he knew full well what it would portend for his candidacy .
It meant a subtle yet unmistakable take over of his campaign by the progressives and their slimy allies .
Now , the socialist piper has come @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and will continue to shell out , like this .
“ I ’ m working with Bernie and with his people .
And so , and we ’ ve made some changes .
We ’ ve listened to Bernie supporters and , you know , for example , we have Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez , she is on one of the panels , ” Biden said .
Ouch .
Even for Biden that is a lame rationalization .
The task forces will meet in advance of the convention to make recommendations to the Democratic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ well as to the Biden campaign .
The panels will plot on policy in six areas : climate change , criminal justice reform , economy , education , health care , and immigration .
Yup , a veritable socialist smorgasbord of ways to undermine America .
“ From health care to reforming our justice system to rebuilding a more inclusive and fair economy , the work of the task forces will be essential to identifying ways to build on our progress and not simply turn the clock back to a time before Donald @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” Biden unconvincingly said in a statement , while likely holding back inner tears at his sheer surrender to the forces of the domestic Kremlin .
Sanders rubbed it in , “ in the midst of the unprecedented economic and pandemic crises we face , the Democratic Party must think big , act boldly , and fight to change the direction of this country….To create an agenda that the working class of this country desperately needs , and moves us toward a more just society , we must solicit the best ideas .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ with my campaign to assemble a group of leading thinkers and activists who can and will unify our party in a transformational and progressive direction.
” Oh , it ’ s transformational alright .
It would transform the United States of America into modern Venezuela in less than eight years .
Finally , you wonder if Joe is really okay with all this ?
Yes , he ’ ll do anything for a further and monumental lease on power .
But is there a small voice inside that bristles against his virtual ownership @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , he is ignoring it as of late .
And with it , any real chance he has of the presidency .

I am certainly glad that some legal system is finally investigating the dodgy dealings of the Biden family , even if it isn ’ t an American court !
The leaked audio can be listened to in full below .

Former Vice President Biden has been formally listed as the perpetrator of an alleged crime against a Ukrainian prosecutor.
Biden: “I’m A Man Of My Word”
An audio call that allegedly took place between Biden and former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko was leaked by Andrii Derkach, a member of the Ukrainian Parliament. In the call, the two men discuss Viktor Shokin, the former Prosecutor General of Ukraine, and whether he should be fired. In the audio, Poroshenko admits that Shokin didn’t do anything wrong, but Biden insists he should be fired.
With Shokin gone, a $1 billion loan guarantee to Ukraine can be implemented.
“I’m a man of my word,” Biden said. “And now that the new Prosecutor General is in place, we’re ready to move forward to signing that one billion dollar loan guaranteed.”
Along with this development, Ukrainian District Court Judge S.V. Vovk of Kiev ordered that Shokin should be formally listed as the victim of an alleged crime by Biden. The court previously ordered that there should be an investigation into the pressuring of Shokin’s removal by Biden, and concluded that there was enough evidence to investigate the claim that Biden was behind his firing.
The ruling ordered that:
A competent person of the Office of the Prosecutor General of Ukraine who conducts procedural management in criminal proceedings No. 62020000000000236 dated February 24, 2020 to enter information into the Unified register of pre-trial investigations … a summary of facts that may indicate the commission of a criminal offense under Paragraph 2 of Article 343 of the Criminal procedure code of Ukraine on criminal proceedings No. 62020000000000236 dated February 24, 2020, namely: information on interference in the activities of the former Prosecutor General of Ukraine Shokin, Viktor Mykolaiovych performed by citizen of the United States of America Joseph Biden, former U.S. Vice President.

Finally, An Investigation Into Democrat Corruption!
Does this surprise any of you reading this now? We all know that Biden, like Clinton, has been involved in seriously corrupt activities. From the Burisma scandal, to his son Hunter’s dealings, this shouldn’t shock any American who pays attention to the goings on of the Democratic Party. I am certainly glad that some legal system is finally investigating the dodgy dealings of the Biden family, even if it isn’t an American court!

Cuomo’s Deadly Mistake
The death toll in nursing homes in New York has exceeded 5,600, even as the governor’s administration has been caught shifting the criteria to lower the numbers.
Cuomo issued an order on March 25th stating, “No resident shall be denied readmission or admission to NH solely based on a confirmed or suspected diagnosis of COVID-19,” then failed to reverse the directive for six weeks as deaths mounted.
This man, who has done everything the exact opposite as Trump for three years now, suddenly wants you to believe he listened to the President’s advice.
Pressed further, Cuomo said he would have no opposition to an investigation.
“I’m not resistant,” he said. “If the federal government wants to start a probe, then they can start a probe.”
He added, “It is irrelevant to me … President Trump does what he wants to do. He doesn’t listen to a governor.”

Governor Cuomo shocked reporters earlier this week when he downplayed the coronavirus deaths in nursing homes.
“What would you say to families who have suffered losses inside nursing homes?” one reporter asked him.
“Older people, vulnerable people are going to die from this virus. That is going to happen despite whatever you do,” Cuomo replied. “Because with all our progress as a society, we can’t keep everyone alive.”

CDC Backtracks, Changes Guidelines To Say Coronavirus ‘Does Not Spread Easily’ On Contaminated Surfaces

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ( CDC ) just backtracked in a big way as they updated their coronavirus guidelines to say that the disease “ does not spread easily ” on contaminated surfaces .
It was already known that the disease was easily spread through in-person contact , but until now , the CDC swore up and down that COVID-19 could be spread through touching contaminated surfaces .
However , the CDC has changed their tune , saying that “ the virus spreads easily between people ” but “ does not spread easily in other ways.
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to spread in other ways , but these are not thought to be the main ways the virus spreads , ” the second section of the CDC ’ s updated guidelines reads .
Prior to this change , the guidelines had said that coronavirus being spread in other ways “ may be possible , ” according to Yahoo News .
This change may be subtle , but it is also important to note it .
Theories about coronavirus being spread through touching contaminated surfaces can be traced back to a New England Journal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in March .
This study concluded that COVID-19 could survive in the air for hours and on certain surfaces for days , as it was detected up to four hours later on copper , up to one day later on cardboard , and up to three days later on plastic and stainless steel .
It should be noted that the study never found that people who touched those surfaces could become infected , yet the CDC took that and ran with it anyway .
The CDC finally updated their guidelines after epidemiological data @ @ @ @ @ @ @ transmit the virus is through in-person contact .
“ Based on the epidemiology , we know that the main way this virus is infecting people is from direct contact with other infected people , ” said Dr. Amesh Adalja , a senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security .
“ Contaminated surfaces play some role , but it ’ s likely much smaller.
” “ This is a respiratory virus , and respiratory viruses largely spread through breathing in infected respiratory droplets , ” he continued .
Dr. Richard Watkins @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Ohio Medical University , pointed out that “ we are still learning about this new coronavirus — including how it spreads.
” “ It might be possible to become infected after touching a surface that has the virus , then touching one ’ s face , ” Watkins added .

However , this isn ’ t the main way the virus is spread.
