Stop the $221 Million Payment to the Palestinians

In yet another attempt to undermine the incoming Trump administration former president Obama released $221 million in tax payer money to the Palestinians.  You may ask why he did this? I think it's quite simple, Obama has an utter disregard and disrespect for Israel and their people. Roughly a few weeks ago Obama reversed a long standing tradition of the US Federal Government to veto anti-Israel UN resolutions. 

According to Brietbart, 

Some Senate Democrats have issued scathing statements against President Barack Obama and his administration’s decision to break with longstanding tradition to veto anti-Israel resolutions, choosing, instead, to abstain from voting in a United Nations Security Council vote. The vote called for a halt to Israeli construction in the West Bank and eastern Jerusalem.

Even Senate Democrats weren't in alignment with Obama and the actions he took to throw another dagger at Israel. Israel, the only true democratic country in the entire middle east and one of our biggest allies.

Fast forward to Trump's inauguration day and this time Obama uses the Israeli Palestinian conflict to undermine the incoming president by literally giving $221 million dollars in tax payer money to the Palestinian state! You read that right $221 million dollars of tax payer funds are going to the terrorist state of Palestine! You may wonder where I got off saying tax payer funds, well considering the government itself doesn't actually produce anything and as a result they do not have an income, any money they spend is essentially our money!

According to The Times of Israel,

The State Department is reviewing a last-minute decision by former Secretary of State John Kerry to send $221 million dollars to the Palestinians late last week over the objections of congressional Republicans.

The department said Tuesday it would look at the payment and might make adjustments to ensure it comports with the Trump administration’s priorities.

Kerry formally notified Congress that State would release the money Friday morning, just hours before President Donald Trump took the oath of office.

There you have it! Obama's last move as President of the United States and he attempts to stick it to Israel one last time.

The Times of Israel goes on to explain,

Congress had initially approved the Palestinian funding in budget years 2015 and 2016, but at least two GOP lawmakers — Ed Royce of California, the chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, and Kay Granger of Texas, who sits on the House Appropriations Committee — had placed holds on it over moves the Palestinian Authority had taken to seek membership in international organizations. Congressional holds are generally respected by the executive branch but are not legally binding after funds have been allocated.

At least a few members of Congress are privy to this issue Obama created and are taking the necessary steps to see to it the Palestinians NEVER see these funds. Additionally, we know Trump will support this move as well as he is an outspoken supporter of Israel and the Jewish State.

Trump is Draining the Swamp!

Turns out Donald Trump is looking to follow through with his promise to drain the swamp and he's going to start right where he should, he's going to get rid of excess government fat.  In other words he is going to get rid of the people employed by government who are doing nothing more than occupying space and wasting oxygen. There are countless government agencies that literally mean nothing to the overall well being of the American people nor are they called for in the Constitution.

This gets me to my main underlying point in many of the articles I write, and that is getting back to a federal government as intended by the Constitution.  A smaller government whose main focus should be the overall protection of the American people from enemies foreign and domestic, and if you ask me after 8 years of Obama there are plenty of enemies out there looking to do Americans harm.  Obama has weakened our military to levels we haven't seen since before WWII, luckily we have Trump coming into office and not only should he drain the swamp it also appears he intends to bring us back to the country we once were; a country that other nations respected and our enemies feared.

According to the Washington Examiner,

Making good on a promise to slash government, President-elect Trump has asked his incoming team to pursue spending and staffing cuts.

Insiders said that the spending reductions in some departments could go as high as 10 percent and staff cuts to 20 percent, numbers that would rock Washington if he follows through.

The spending reductions are expected to be used to help pay for Trump's plan to boost the Pentagon's budget, tax cuts and some pet projects, potentially including the anti-immigration wall on the nation's southern border.

The teams also are looking at staffing cuts over four years through attrition, a hiring freeze and reorganization.

I know what you’re thinking… Oh no people are going to lose their jobs.  What so ever will those people do when they are out of work.  Well you know what?  You have no reason to feel for these people if you think about the hardships they have put other Americans through when they were doing their jobs.  These individuals that were nothing more than wasted space employed in agencies that overtaxed, overburdened, and over regulated small businesses into non-existence. They didn't feel for the lives they were ruining or the families they destroyed as many could no longer afford to put food on the table.  

This… people… is the change we need!  This here is draining the swamp and Trump fulfilling his promise to Make America Great Again.  I have said this all along and I stick to it that we must stand by and hold his feet to the fire if he doesn’t follow through with promises like this but as of yet we really have no reason not to believe he is a man of his word and he intends to bring America back to what it once was before progressives like Obama.  Before progressives like Obama forced their socialist ideologies on us in their sad attempt to bring America down to the level of other third world countries they idolize so much.
