Obama goes out with a ‘Klingon’ bang…. 1/2

Obama lost his mojo a long time ago.

The political magic is gone, and in a city where clout is everything,he’s now struggling to remain relevant. Every time he steps back into the arena,it feels less like a kingmaker returning to power and more like a goofball trying to prove he’s still got it.

He doesn’t.

Revolver:

Barry is a man with a mission and no mojo to back it up.

Barack Obama has been treated like the untouchable kingmaker of the Democrat Party. The media built him into a political rock star. Dems acted like an endorsement from Mr. Barry Obama could move mountains, calm seas, and shape elections.

However, none of that ever happened, even though the media likes to pretend it did.

On one side, you’ve got President Trump, who is tightening his grip on the Republican Partyin ways many never expected. He’s steamrolling anti-Trump Republicans all over the country,while Obama’s political influence is moving in the opposite direction. Trump-backed candidates just had another massive primary night, with establishment Republicans and anti-MAGA politicians getting wiped out in race after race.

Trump isn’t just leading the GOP… he’s reshaping it.

Obama never really achieved that level of control over Democrats, even while he was sitting in the Oval Office. Unless, of course, you count the way his presidency helped open the door for the party’s radical fringe to move from the sidelines into the driver’s seat,which some would argue has been a total disaster… but that’s another story.

But these days,his political endorsements are starting to look like the kiss of political death.

The latest examplecame last night out of Georgia, where two very high-profile judicial candidates backed by Obama and Kamala Harris just lost badly== in races Dems desperately needed to win.

Obama’s candidates didn’t win. As a matter of fact, everything Barry touches turns to shit these days.

And his latest concrete hellscape in Chicago could be the final nail in his cement coffin.

Or as Douglass Mackey so brilliantly put it, the “cornball hall of fame.” Maybe that should be the name of Obama’s dystopian new library.

And as The Guardian explains,Obama, who has no real legacy to speak of unless you want to count weaponizing intelligence agenciesto spy on Trump as a stunning accomplishment,has decided his “library” won’t actually be a library at all.

It’ll bemore of a “community activity center,” like a YMCA with a “Marxist” twist.

One thing is certain, though…the center won’t be run by the National Archives. It’ll be run by Obama’s own foundation, which means the former community activist gets to rewrite history to his heart’s content.

Basically, Obama built a monument to his own corniness and over-inflated ego.

And speaking of theGuardian, who aren’t exactly “conservatives,” theyreally roasted Obama, his ego, and his Klingon prison library in a recent article.

The Guardian:

The Egyptians had their pyramids. The Anglo-Saxons had their barrows. And the Americans have their presidential libraries – the chief difference being that the leaders the US venerates are usually still alive at the opening.

Lacking a royal family or a state religion, the US presidency has swelled to fill the void, transforming over the decades into a national personality cult, complete with its own secular temples to these powerful men. The latest pharaonic edifice is about to open on Chicago’s south side, where it looms on the skyline as a towering totem to the 44th president, Barack Obama. He might have seemed humble in office, but in his post-presidential, Netflix-producing afterlife, Obama has erected the largest, costliest and most audacious complex of them all. Behold the $850m Obamalisk – or, as it sometimes feels morbidly like, the Obamausoleum.

This piece reads like an obituary for a political brand that’s lost its shine.

There’s not much left for Barack Obama at this point. He has no real political wins to point to, and even Joe Biden’s so-called presidency has a giant shameful asterisk next to it.

And as we pointed out,Obama doesn’t have some great legacy to fall back on, either. And the one big thing withhis name all over it is still one of the most unpopular messes in modern American history: Obamacare.

And now, the other thingwith his name on it looks like an $850 million intergalactic prison.

The new Barack Obama Presidential Library is nearing completion

And then there’shis official “community center” statue, which was completed by a black artist. Unfortunately for Obama,the artist made him look exactly like Ron Howard.

==No, really, it does.

Poor Opie.==

In theend, it’s depressing, but it’s such a fitting monument to Obama and his failures.

He never calmed those rising seas. He never healed the country (he made it worse). He didn’t usher in some golden age of hope and unity.What he left behind was division, a weaponized intelligence apparatus, an empowered Deep State, and a political machine that helped drag America into the mess we’re still digging out of today.

So maybe the “Obamausoleum” makes perfect sense.

A concrete hellscape for a shameful legacy, and if Chicago’s current situation keeps going,it’s only a matter of time before the whole thing turns into a homeless encampment.

Trump says Iran nuclear issue will be resolved 'one way or the other'

Summary

• Mohsen Rezaei, a military aide to Iran's supreme leader, told CNN any US-Iran peace deal depends on Washington releasing $24 billion in frozen Iranian assets, warning that renewed fighting would push the United States into a “dark corridor.”

• Access by IAEA inspectors to Iran's nuclear facilities remains limited and Tehran continues to determine which sites inspectors can visit, IAEA chief Rafael Grossi said on Friday.

• Iran’s crude exports fell 84% in May from the previous month, Lloyd’s List reported, as US pressure on Tehran’s oil network and shipping disruption intensified.

• President Donald Trump said Thursday he considered sending US special operations forces to retrieve Iran’s highly enriched uranium stockpile, but rejected the idea because the mission would require weeks inside a war zone and risk becoming a “Jimmy Carter” moment.

• US Energy Secretary Chris Wright said on Friday increasing oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz to help lower gasoline and diesel prices would ultimately require a resolution with Iran, according to remarks reported by Reuters.

• The UN nuclear watchdog repeated its calls on Iran to urgently inform the agency of the fate of its enriched uranium since its atomic sites were bombed a year ago and let inspections resume fully.

Iran says Lebanon is not a bargaining chip in US talks

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchirejected Lebanese President Joseph Aoun’s claim that Tehran was using Lebanon as a bargaining chipin negotiations with the United States.

Amount said Friday that Iran was using Lebanon in its talks with Washingtonand that the Lebanese people were paying the price for Tehran’s interests.

“Had Lebanon been bargaining chip for Iran, we’d have a deal long ago,” Araghchi wrote on X on Saturday. “Save Lebanon from your real foe, Mr. President.”

His remarks came as Lebanon has become one of the disputed issues around the US-Iran talks, with Iranian officials and hardliners insisting that any understanding with Washington must address the conflict involving Hezbollah.

Based on Mr. Aoun's comments, one would think it's Iran that has occupied 1/5 of Lebanon, displaced 1/4 of Lebanese and bombinghis country on daily basis.

Had Lebanon been bargaining chip for Iran, we'd have a deal long ago.

Save Lebanon from your real foe, Mr. President.

Iran launches missiles toward Kuwait and Bahrain as US strikes radar sites

USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72) transits the Arabian Sea as the aircraft carrier continues to support the US blockade against Iran.

Summary

Kuwait's army said it engaged seven missiles launched from Iran on Saturday, adding that the attack caused material damage but no injuries.

Centcom said US forces intercepted Iranian missiles and drones aimed toward Hormuz and Persian Gulf countries, with no reported US casualties.

The IRGC said it stopped one tanker trying to leave Hormuz after warning four vessels, while CENTCOM denied Iranian claims of damage to the US Fifth Fleet site in Bahrain.

Trump said Iran has “no choice” but to reach a deal and that the nuclear issue will be resolved “one way or the other,” by agreement or a harder path.

The UN nuclear watchdog repeated its calls on Iran to urgently inform the agency of the fate of its enriched uranium stockpile since its atomic sites were bombed a year ago and let inspections resume fully.

Mohsen Rezaei, a military aide to Iran's supreme leader, told CNN any US-Iran peace deal depends on Washington releasing $24 billion in frozen Iranian assets.

Lebanon emerged as another flashpoint, with Araghchi rejecting claims Tehran is using the country as a bargaining chip in talks with Washington.

Iranian crude and condensate exports fell below 300,000 bpd in May, their lowest in at least six years, as the US blockade and shipping disruption hit Tehran’s oil lifeline.

Iran MP says Hormuz bill aims to cement Tehran’s control beyond tolls

An Iranian lawmaker said parliament is reviewing legislation aimed at reinforcing what he described as Tehran’s control over the Strait of Hormuz, saying the issue goes beyond economic benefits and carries security, military, geopolitical and diplomatic dimensions.

Abbas Soufi, deputy chairman of parliament’s Construction Committee, told ISNA that the Strait of Hormuz is one of the world’s most strategic maritime routes and plays a central role in Iran’s economy, security and regional position.

Soufi said the waterway has become more important after the war and argued that the Islamic Republic’s control over it had been strengthened by the armed forces.

He described the strait as a vital artery for Iran’s economy and a deterrent tool for Tehran, saying it could serve after the war both as a defensive shield and as a strategic economic asset.

Soufi said parliament is reviewing a three-urgency bill on asserting control over the Strait of Hormuz, adding that the proposal must be examined from legal, economic, security and international angles.

He said several parliamentary committees, including the Construction Committee, Economic Committee, National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, and Legal and Judicial Committee, should review the bill because of its broad implications.

Congress is Getting Nervous About Reauthorizing FISA-702

(Must read full article)

June 5, 2026 | Sundance

The authority for the United States government tocapture the electronic records of all Americans without warrant falls under the auspices of FISA-702.Reauthorization of the current authority is being debated. This is a deep walk into why this issue is so important to our government.

Having researched almost every aspect to the construct and the argument,I am confident FISA-702 authority underpins a much bigger, quasi-constitutional justification for the collection of U.S. citizen metadata. Without the 702 authority the legal justification for the apparatus of surveillance no longer exists. It really is that simple.

It is not the just the illegal searching of the NSA database that presents the issue, although that aspect has received the majority of attention,the capture itself violates the Fourth Amendment. The only way the government can justify the capture of U.S. Citizen data is if there is some quasi-constitutional or national security reason for it. That’s where FISA-702 comes in.==

Take away “702” search authority, and the data collection argument collapses. Any“incidental” search of the database then loses any plausible legal justification. 702 is the camel’s nose under the privacy tent that forms the baseline for all data records to be intercepted, stored and ultimately available for review.

♦Only one legal case has ever pushed into the sphere of challenging this unconstitutional exploitation. A 2025 decision in the U.S. v. Hasbajrami in Brooklyn, New York, where Eastern District Judge LaShann DeArcy Hall identified the misuse of FISA-702 “backdoor searches” regarding defendant, Agron Hasbajrami.

Hasbajrami plead guilty to charges of attempting to provide material support to a terrorist organization, alleging that he intended to travel to the Federally Administered Tribal Area of Pakistan, where he expected to join a terrorist organization, receive training, and ultimately fight against U.S. forces and others in Afghanistan and Pakistan.However, after his guilty plea, while he is serving time in prison, prosecutors admitted some of the evidence against him came as a result of privacy violations, unlawful FISA-702 searches.

justice_scales4.pngHasbajrami sought to have the evidence against him thrown out on 4th amendment grounds (fruit of the poisoned tree) and withdraw his guilty plea.The Second Circuit Court of Appeals denied Hasbarjami’s blanket evidence suppression motion for the exclusion of all FISA Section 702 collection in his case but did not weigh in on whether the warrantless Section 702 database queries were constitutional, instead remanding the case back to Judge Hall for a review of that question.

Judge DeArchy Hall received the case again and reviewed all of the government motions against the request to suppress the evidence.What results is a very well-constructed explanation and opinion of how FISA-702 was misused in the case[SEE 60-pg Opinion HERE].

Thejudge determined that U.S. government officials did factually violatethe technical rules and procedures for the use of FISA-702 searches, and the DOJ should have gone to court to obtain a warrantto look at Hasbajrami’s private communication.

In essence, yes, the 4th amendment protections of Hasbajrami were violated. However, the issue of overturning the resulting evidence becomes a matter of legal distinction.

The defendant, who admitted guilt (twice) did not claim the evidence was a result of misuse or a wrongful approach in searching the NSA’s library, from which FISA-702 search results are determined (a structural flaw in the defense motion). Instead, the defendant filed asuppression motion on the issue of his 4th amendment rights being violated.

The judge opinion holds that the FBI’s Section 702 queries violated the Fourth Amendment; however, the court ultimately denied the defendant’s motion to suppress the resulting evidence on separate grounds.

The value in the ruling by Judge Hall, is a few fold:

First, it is an excellent review of the FISA-702 origin and all of the constitutional arguments that surround the controversial law.

Second, the ruling clearly shows that FISA-702 searches are currently being used unlawfully and continually by government officials.

Third, the ruling clearly shows how “backdoor” 702 searches are violations of the Fourth Amendment. [Albeit in this case, of no value to the argument put forth by Hasbajrami.]
