White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough on Sunday vowed that President Obama will close the Guantanamo Bay detainee facility before his presidency ends in 11 months.
“He feels an obligation to his successor to close that, and that’s why we’re going to do it,” McDonough said on “Fox News Sunday.” “Sure we are.”
However, McDonough declined to answer whether Obama would use his White House powers to sidestep Congress and close the facility.
“The president just said he’s going to present a plan to Congress and work with Congress and then we’ll make some final determination,” McDonough said.
Obama has promised since the start of his presidency seven years ago that he would close the facility — opened in the aftermath of 9/11 to get suspected terrorists off the battlefield. (Read more from “This Is the Last Thing Obama Is Determined to Do Before He Leaves Office” HERE)

Kathleen Willey, one of the women who famously accused Bill Clinton of sexual assault, and has said she suffered acts of intimidation to silence her, used a radio interview on Sunday to broadcast a message to other possible female victims of Bill Clinton.
Stated Willey:
I would just like to encourage any woman who has suffered at the hands of Bill Clinton to please try to find the courage and bravery to come forth. Because it’s okay now. Nobody can hurt you now. It’s as simple as that.
Nobody can touch you now. The word is out. You will be okay but you will be doing the right thing for all the right reasons and you will be helping your fellow sisters.
Speaking on “Aaron Klein Investigative Radio,” the popular Sunday talk radio program, Willey demanded that Hillary Clinton submit to a lie detector test to answer questions about whether she engaged in campaigns to silence or intimidate her husband’s female accusers. Klein doubles as Breitbart’s Jerusalem bureau chief.
Willey also telegraphed a message of encouragement for Donald Trump, who helped to skyrocket the issue of Clinton’s sex accusers to front-page status when the GOP frontrunner complained about the former president’s “terrible record of women abuse.” Trump was responding to Hillary’s claim that the billionaire exhibited a “penchant for sexism.” (Read more from “Bill Clinton Sexual Assault Accuser Thanks Donald Trump for Exposing THIS” HERE)

Illegal amnesty in the form of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), and Deferred Action for Parental Accountability (DAPA is currently being held up by court injunction), is one of the harshest forms of penalties for immigrants – many of whom are married to Americans – trying to legally come or stay in the United States. Legal immigrants are being penalized with longer wait times for loved ones to enter the country or to legally stay. President Obama flat-out lied that illegal aliens would be going “to the back of the line”.
What has been seen instead is that illegal aliens applying for DACA are able to receive work permits within 4 to 6 months while U.S. citizens end up waiting as long as 15 months to bring their children and spouses here. Under DACA, illegal aliens are also able to reapply every two years so that they will continually be able to stay here without fear of deportation. DAPA is President Obama’s expansion of DACA and is purportedly designed to allow illegal alien families to stay together. Neither of these options allow a direct legal pathway for citizenship.
When DACA was created it was the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), who had to handle the huge increase in workload. USCIS is also responsible for processing applications for United States Citizens seeking visas or green cards for their spouses and children needing to immigrate. While it seems that currently the USCIS has finally gotten the workload decreased back down to around 6 months for citizen’s spouses, DAPA will undoubtedly create much longer delays for US citizens.
The basic premise for Obama’s illegal DACA and DAPA is to allow illegal alien families to stay together as it is deemed impossible to deport all of the millions of illegals currently in-country. Obama has maintained that it is most important to prevent crossings at the border and to deport illegal aliens who are dangerous and just let the others stay legally, even though he really isn’t even doing that. This is similar to the same type of reasoning Presidents Reagan and Bush used in order to legally allow millions of illegal aliens to stay. However, history has shown that those programs did not prevent millions of more illegal aliens from coming here. In fact, after Reagan’s and Bush’s amnesty, even more illegal aliens came to stay because of the obvious precedent.
Most illegal aliens enter this country primarily for economic reasons. Whether or not we can deport the millions of illegals from the U.S., it should be a top priority to eliminate all incentives for illegal aliens to come and stay here. I have personally met illegals working on farms who regularly travel back to their home countries during winter. However, Obama’s new programs incentivize these agricultural workers to bring their entire families here illegally. The hordes of illegal alien children coming here recently are undoubtedly due in large part to President Obama’s DACA.
DACA is rewarding the illegal aliens for their original unlawful behavior. Meanwhile, relatives of law-abiding Americans who would like to come legally have to bear the burden of staying for years in their country of origin waiting for their permanent visa. If they had come illegally, they would have been able to spend those years with their families and earn more money than they could back home. The end results for both paths are similar as those with DACA can still apply for their green card through marriage to a United States citizen and this is much easier if they are already living here illegally. Obviously, this unlawful behavior should not be rewarded with amnesty. If we truly want our legal immigrants to be at the front of the line, as President Obama has falsely promised, then his illegal amnesty programs must first be terminated.
Here’s my personal story: I have family members who have waited nine years in their country of origin to get a green card. They would have jumped at the opportunity to live those nine years in the United States with their family members that are already here. Had they chosen to break US law, they could have been here with their families for almost a decade and then qualified for Obama’s amnesty. Instead, by respecting our laws they are now rewarded with even more delay: Obama’s illegal DACA undoubtedly caused one of my in-laws to wait several more months for a green card than she otherwise would have.
The uncomfortable truth is that illegal alien families should be forced to go back to their country of origin. Instead of blaming American laws, illegal alien parents should look in the mirror, realizing that their actions have caused, or will cause family separations. It is not the responsibility of the United States to keep illegal alien families together. Also, any person who chooses to marry an illegal alien should realize the risks that are involved. Illegal aliens need to be held responsible for their actions and not demand that the US give them special rights for their unlawful behavior. It is a slap in the face to the law-abiding immigrants attempting to become part of this great nation the right way.

Security authorities are growing increasingly concerned by the rising number of sex attacks by gangs of migrants which appear to be spreading across Europe.
Finland and Sweden today became the latest European countries to issue warnings to women to be wary of the threat of sex attacks following fresh reports of sexual assaults in the last week, while the Viennese police chief adviced women not to go outside alone in Vienna.
The warnings come as reports emerged that Austrian and German police tried to cover-up the issue over fears of reprisal attacks on asylum seekers and damage to the countries’ tourist trade . . .
Finnish police said today that they had been tipped off about plans by groups of asylum seekers to sexually harass women following an unusually high level of sexual harassment cases in Helsinki.
‘There hasn’t been this kind of harassment on previous New Year’s Eves or other occasions for that matter… This is a completely new phenomenon in Helsinki,’ said deputy police chief Ilkka Koskimaki. (Read more from “‘Don’t Go out Alone at Night’: Migrant Rape Fears Spread Across Europe” HERE)

Ted Cruz said Thursday that Hillary Clinton’s support for unbridled abortion-on-demand will prove costly with an electoral demographic that the Democratic Party has largely taken for granted: Hispanics.
At a campaign stop in Pocahontas, Iowa, Cruz said conservatives can win the general election by taking a traditional stance on moral and social issues.
“You know who doesn’t think abortion is a winning issue for Democrats?” he asked. “Democrats.”
The junior senator from Texas pointed to a fellow fixture of Lone Star State politics as his example: Wendy Davis.
Both she and Cruz made widely reported filibusters in 2013. As a state senator she famous filibustered the Texas law restricting abortion to the first 20 weeks of pregnancy, while Ted Cruz held a 21-hour filibuster against ObamaCare on the floor of the U.S. Senate.

Police in Philadelphia are investigating a tip that a man charged in the ambush shooting of a patrolman is connected to a radical group that may continue to pose a threat to officers.
The police department said Sunday evening that someone approached an officer on the street and alleged that the man who attacked Officer Jesse Hartnett “had an affiliation to a group with radical beliefs” . . .
Harnett was last reported in stable condition at the hospital after a man charged his car as he patrolled his usual west Philadelphia beat shortly before midnight Thursday, firing at least 13 shots, hitting the officer three times. Hartnett got out of his car, chased the man and returned fire, wounding him in the buttocks before he was captured by other officers about a block away.

Sean Penn unwittingly led Mexican marines to El Chapo after meeting him for an extraordinary interview – and is now under investigation.
The sensational meeting took place deep in the Mexican jungle in October and was arranged by Penn, Mexican actress Kate del Castillo and a fixer, with the permission of the Sinaloa cartel.
El Chapo admitted in the bizarre interview to being the biggest drug trafficker in the world and said he sent engineers to Germany to learn how to build the tunnel he would eventually use to escape a maximum security prison.
The cartel boss was captured on Friday in a daring 4am raid by Mexican marines and was returned to Altiplano jail. The double Oscar-winning actor’s meeting with El Chapo led to the gun battle in which he was captured, an official said . . .
In an article written by Penn for Rolling Stone, El Chapo says: ‘I supply more heroin, methamphetamine, cocaine and marijuana than anybody else in the world. I have a fleet of submarines, airplanes, trucks and boats.’ (Read more from “Hollywood Megastar Under Investigation for Top Secret Meeting With El Chapo” HERE)

News that CAIR has demanded an apology from Donald Trump for evicting a Muslim protester at his rally and reports that left-wing protesters and police have turned out in force to bottle up “far-right” demonstrators in Germany bookend a single story. It’s on — the long-awaited fight against PC orthodoxy is finally on. Trump is unlikely to apologize, and CAIR is even more unlikely to back down. With 3 million Middle Eastern and African refugees due to arrive in Europe this year, the clashes between German protesters are only likely to intensify.
The commotion you hear is not going to stop, it will only get worse. The Western Spring is finally here, and before it’s done it threatens to change everything.
The tension between the forces of political correctness and the pent-up forces of repressed cultural traditions is now bursting like a spring wound up beyond containment. Things may start slowly at first but ramp up rapidly, mirroring Cornelius Ryan’s famous description of the Berlin Philharmonic’s last performance as the Red Army stood at the gates of Berlin.
The drum beat was almost imperceptible. Softly the tubas answered. The muffled drum roll came again. Low and ominously the tubas replied. Then the massed basses came alive and the awesome grandeur of Die Götterdämmerung rolled out from the Berlin Philharmonic … it told of the evildoing of the gods, of Siegfried on his funeral bed of fire … with cymbals crashing and drums rolling, the orchestra thundered to its climax: the terrible holocaust that destroyed Valhalla
Actually the last performance of the doomed orchestra “was of Brünnhilde’s Immolation Scene at the end of the opera.” Ryan’s word painting may get the history wrong but nevertheless gets the analogy right. It’s the twilight of the gods. In 1945 the musicians wore escape clothes under their overcoats because it had been arranged for them to escape toward the American lines as soon as the performance ended.

Churches must not be afraid to speak out against abortion in the 2016 election, according to one prominent pro-life group.
On Wednesday, Priests for Life hosted a press conference on abortion in light of the upcoming 2016 elections at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. The event centered on the question “How political can the Catholic Church be?” under its tax-exempt status and highlighted that “restrictions on political activity by churches are misunderstood” — even by the media.
Priests for Life National Director Fr. Frank Pavone opened the press conference by stressing Church obligation during the election season.
“This is not about the Church becoming a political machine,” he said. “This is about the Church becoming more the Church.”
But instead, many churches have been undergoing a “massive self-censorship” to avoid losing their tax exemptions. (Read more from “The Church Can’t Be Afraid to Denounce a Political Party That Supports Killing Unborn Babies” HERE)

A man was so overwhelmed by the bedbugs in his Detroit apartment that he sprayed himself with alcohol and then tried to light one of them on fire, badly burning himself in the ensuing flames.
By the time the accidental fire was extinguished, about four units had been destroyed by flames, and two dozen more received water damage.
The fire started at around 4:30 a.m. Sunday at the St. Antoine Gardens apartment complex in Midtown Detroit. That’s when the man thought bedbugs had returned to his apartment and sprayed alcohol on his couch and body in an attempt to destroy them, said Dan Austin, a mayor’s office spokesman.
But then, while sitting on the alcohol-doused couch, the man lit a cigarette and also tried to set one of the bedbugs on fire, Austin said. That caused the couch to catch fire, along with the man’s body.
Within minutes, Phyllis Waller heard shouts from her room just down the hall, on the building’s eighth floor. When she looked through her peephole, the smoke was so thick that she couldn’t see the door across the hall. She said she escaped by crawling to the stairwell.
