Obama Fuming After What South Korean President Just Let Slip About Trump.

On Friday, South Korean President Moon Jae-in signed a historic peace accord with North

Korean leader Kim Jong-un, the rival countries pledging to officially end the Korean War

that began in 1950.

It would seem like a time to celebrate, but former U.S. President Barack Obama is doing

no such thing.

Instead, he is fuming after what Mr. Moon just let slip about President Donald Trump

in a cabinet meeting.

Donald Trump should win a Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts to end the standoff over North

Korea's nuclear weapons program, South Korea's president has suggested.

According to The Independent, President Moon Jae-in said he was "confident a new era

of peace will unfold on the Korean peninsula" following a historic summit last week, during

which Seoul and Pyongyang pledged to end decades of hostilities and work towards "complete

denuclearization."

President Moon had previously said that Trump "deserves big credit for bringing about

the inter-Korean talks," which were the first between North and South Korea in more

than a decade.

The South Korean president echoed the same sentiment during a cabinet meeting on Monday,

telling Seoul officials, "President Trump should win the Nobel Peace Prize.

What we need is only peace."

In the first small steps towards reconciliation, South Korea said on Monday it would remove

loudspeakers that have blared propaganda across the border for decades, while Pyongyang is

to shift its clocks to align with its southern neighbor.

South Korea turned off the loudspeakers, which have broadcast a mixture of news, Korean pop

songs, and criticism of the North Korean regime, as a goodwill gesture ahead of the summit.

It will begin removing them on Tuesday.

"We see this as the easiest first step to build military trust," said South Korean

defense ministry spokeswoman Choi Hyun-soo, adding that Seoul expected North Korea to

follow suit.

Meanwhile, North Korea will shift its time zone 30 minutes earlier to align with South

Korea starting on May 5.

The North's time zone was created in 2015 to mark the 70th anniversary of Koreas liberation

from Japanese rule after World War II.

Now, much hinges on Kim Jong-un's upcoming summit with President Donald Trump, which

is planned to take place in late May or early June.

Any deal with the U.S. will require North Korea to demonstrate "irreversible" steps

to shut down its nuclear weapons program, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Sunday.

President Barack Obama was given a Nobel Peace Prize in 2009, an honor which most hold that

he did nothing to earn.

At the time, Tommy De Seno wrote for Fox News, "Barack Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize

this morning…

President Obama has broken new ground here.

Nominations for potential winners of the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize ended on February 1.

The president took office only 12 days earlier on January 20."

A timeline of Obama's schedule during the first twelve days of his presidency is unimpressive:

January 20: Sworn in as president.

Went to a parade.

Partied.

January 21: Asked bureaucrats to re-write guidelines for information requests.

Held an "open house" party at the White House.

January 22: Signed Executive Orders: Executive Branch workers to take ethics pledge; re-affirmed

Army Field Manual techniques for interrogations; expressed desire to close Gitmo (how's that

working out?)

January 23: Ordered the release of federal funding to pay for abortions in foreign countries.

Lunch with Joe Biden; met with Tim Geithner.

January 24: Budget meeting with economic team.

January 25: Skipped church.

January 26: Gave speech about jobs and energy.

Met with Hillary Clinton.

Attended Geithner's swearing in ceremony.

January 27: Met with Republicans.

Spoke at a clock tower in Ohio.

January 28: Economic meetings in the morning, met with Defense secretary in the afternoon.

January 29: Signed Ledbetter Bill overturning Supreme Court decision on lawsuits over wages.

Party in the State Room.

Met with Biden.

January 30: Met economic advisers.

Gave speech on Middle Class Working Families Task Force.

Met with senior enlisted military officials.

January 31: Took the day off.

February 1: Skipped church.

Threw a Super Bowl party.

"So there you have it.

The short path to the Nobel Peace Prize: Party, go to meetings, skip church, release federal

funding to pay for abortions in foreign countries, party some more.

Good grief," wrote De Seno.

If President Donald Trump is not given the Nobel Peace Prize for his instrumental role

in bringing peace to the Korean Peninsula, it will only serve to cement the fact that

Obama was given his award for doing nothing at all.

Indeed, there is perhaps no one less deserving of such a prestigious honor than Barack Obama.

BREAKING DOJ Investigating FISA Abuse by Obama Era FBI - Duration: 12:00.

BREAKING: DOJ Investigating FISA Abuse by Obama Era FBI

Today Attorney General Jeff Sessions interviewed with Fox News' Maria Bartiromo, where he

confirmed the investigation we've all been waiting for.

Session verified that the DOJ is currently investigating the sketchy FISA warrants that

were obtained by Obama's weaponized FBI.

From Washington Examiner

Attorney General Jeff Sessions said Sunday the process used by the FBI to obtain warrants

under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act will be investigated after allegations

of abuses of power committed by the agency under the Obama administration.

"Let me tell you, every FISA warrant based on facts submitted to that court has to be

accurate," Sessions told Fox News' "Sunday Morning Futures" regarding the FISA Court,

which adjudicates applications to gather information on foreign operatives on U.S. soil.

"That will be investigated and looked at, and we are not going to participate at the

Department of Justice in providing anything less than the proper disclosure to the court

before they issue a FISA warrant," he continued.

The Republican memo drafted by House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, R-Calif.,

which was released to the public earlier in February, outlined how the FBI and Justice

Department applied to spy on former Trump campaign foreign policy adviser Carter Page

using information from the mostly unverified Trump-Russia dossier compiled by ex-spy Christopher

Steele.

GOP and Democratic lawmakers disagree over whether the FISA court was made aware of how

the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton's campaign were among the dossier's

financial backers.

While he said had no control over whether a special counsel was appointed to investigate

the matter, Sessions added the DOJ's inspector general was working hard on his probe and

that the department would continue to be open and transparent with Congress.

Earlier in February, Sessions said he would make sure the Justice Department deals with

the issues raised in the memo, saying no department was "perfect."

"I am determined that we will fully and fairly ascertain

the truth," he said.

BREAKING Another Charge in Mueller's Witch Hunt and STILL No Collusion - Duration: 10:20.

BREAKING: Another Charge in Mueller's Witch Hunt and STILL No Collusion

Mueller's Russia probe is reaching new heights of desperation.

He's now charged the lawyer of former Trump campaign advisor Rick Gates, who allegedly

lied to Mueller's officials on his connections to Gate's involving their work with Ukraine.

Another charge and Mueller still hasn't proved any collusion, clearly, it's time

to put this investigation to rest.

From The Hill

Special counsel Robert Mueller is charging a man who communicated with former Trump campaign

adviser Richard Gates with making false statements to the FBI.

Attorney Alex Van Der Zwaan is charged with making "materially false, fictitious, and

fraudulent statements and representations" to the special counsel's office and FBI

agents, according to a court filing released Tuesday morning.

Van Der Zwaan allegedly lied about his last communications with Gates and then deleted

emails requested by the special counsel's office, according to the indictment.

He allegedly did so as part of his work for a firm hired by the Ukrainian Ministry of

Justice to prepare a report on the trial of Yulia Tymoshenko, a former prime minister

of Ukraine.

The new charges come as Gates is reportedly nearing a plea deal with Mueller that could

lead to his testimony against Paul Manafort, President Trump's former campaign chairman.

Gates was Manafort's business partner.

Mueller indicted Gates and Manafort together last year, accusing them of working together

over the years to launder money, among other crimes.

The pair had worked for lobbying clients overseas, including Viktor Yanukovych, a former president

of Ukraine allied with Russia.

Van Der Zwaan is accused of making false statements to the FBI about a report that he helped the

Ukraine's Justice Ministry prepare in 2012 on the trial of a Ukrainian politician named

Yulia Tymoshenko.

The charges appear to be related to a report produced by the law firm Skadden, Arps, Slate,

Meagher & Flom that helped the Ukrainian government counter international criticism that the 2011

prosecution and conviction of Tymoshenko had been driven by political aims.

Van Der Zwaan was an associate in Skadden's London office, according to reports.

The law firm told CNBC in a statement that it "terminated its employment of Alex van

der Zwaan in 2017 and has been cooperating with authorities in connection with this matter."

The New York Times reported last year that the law firm's report was arranged by Manafort

as part of his work for Yanukovych.

According to the document released Tuesday, Van Der Zwaan lied when he told investigators

that his last communication with Gates was in mid-August 2016, and that his last communication

with an individual identified only as "Person A" was in 2014, at which point the two "discussed

Person A's family."

The document states that Van Der Zwaan actually spoke with Gates and "Person A" regarding

a report on the trial and "surreptitiously recorded the calls."

It also says that he deleted or did not produce emails to the special counsel's office,

including a September 2016 correspondence between him

and "Person A."

BOMBSHELL Nunes Reveals the Obama Unmasking Scandal is Much Worse Than Previously Believed - Duration: 12:00.

BOMBSHELL: Nunes Reveals the Obama Unmasking Scandal is Much Worse Than Previously Believed

Chairman Nunes recently conducted an explosive interview, where he revealed critical information

on abuses of the intelligence community by the Obama administration.

He explained that the previous administration unmasked hundreds of private American citizens,

for what he believes are political purposes.

From Full Measure

Rep. Devin Nunes: So in that investigation, we've unearthed things that are very concerning.

We know that there are un-maskings that occurred and probably were leaked to the media.

So this is, so these were, this is an intelligence products that were put together.

The names or the names of the Americans were masked.

Sharyl: Because it's so sensitive, Americans aren't supposed to be spied on by our intelligence

agencies.

So when they are captured, their names are-

Rep. Devin Nunes: Are masked-

Sharyl: Right, Masked, inside the government.

Rep. Devin Nunes: And what we found was happening is, in the last administration, they were

unmasking hundreds, and hundreds, and hundreds of American's names.

They were unmasking people for what I would say, for lack of a better definition, were

for political purposes.

Sharyl: How could they use that information?

Rep. Devin Nunes: We have no evidence, that they leaked this information, okay.

We only know that we only know this.

That names were unmasked.

And those names ended up in the newspaper.

Sharyl: In a derogatory sense, in terms of political enemies of the Obama Administration.

Rep. Devin Nunes: Right, it's like political dirt to create a narrative and a spin with

the mainstream media.

Sharyl: You reported what you learned early on, on the unmaskings to President Trump and

were criticized by a Democrat counterpart of the committee, Adam Schiff.

Who said you quote, Made a midnight run to the White House, where you misrepresented

where you received the information.

There was an ethics investigation into that, and you were cleared.

But how would you answer Adam Schiff's criticism that you behaved improperly?

Rep. Devin Nunes: Well most of the time I ignore political nonsense in this town.

What I will say is that all of those stories were totally fake from the beginning.

When I got that information okay, which was not at midnight.

I didn't jump out of any cars.

That was totally fake.

It was all made up nonsense.

I went out and held a press availability, where I told the press, Look, I've, I found

this information.

It has nothing to do with Russia.

I'm going to go explain this to the President of the United States.

Because I'm the only one that really can do it.

And then I went and did that.

Briefed the President.

Afterwards, I went and talked to the press at the White House.

So my reward for transparency, total transparency with the with the media and everybody involved

was to be brought up under a false ethics accusation.

That has since everyone's learned was total nonsense and it's been dismissed.

Sharyl: On the unmaskings, one very tangible bit of evidence that to me looks like a crime.

Is the fact that the US Ambassador to the UN, Samantha Power.

It looked like she had made a masking request on a near-daily basis.

Which is amazing in 2016.

It's pretty incredible.

Yet she reportedly told Congress, most of those were not really her.

Rep. Devin Nunes: Yeah.

Sharyl: Wouldn't that mean somebody committed a serious National Security Crime if they

used her name to request unmaskings of US Citizens?

Rep. Devin Nunes: Yeah, so we don't know what the truth is there.

I think it would be, I think it's highly unlikely that she was not the one who was

giving permission to make those unmasking requests.

Sharyl: So you don't believe her?

Rep. Devin Nunes: I just don't know how that's possible.

Sharyl: There appears to be a serious conflict of interest that the intelligence community,

FBI, who are in charge of the investigation some of these things, are implicated in some

of these alleged misdeeds.

How do you get around that?

How can this be investigated fairly, when the only prosecutorial authority really rests

with the people accused of wrongdoing?

Rep. Devin Nunes: Yeah and I think what you're, and now what you're getting into is the

FISA abuse.

So I want to, I think we want to make sure we make that change, the difference there.

So there was unmaskings that we unearthed, then there

are

the FISA abuse that we've discovered.

アメリカのここが好き！！ What I Like About America! 🇺🇸(#39) - Duration: 6:07.

Hi guys!

Seigo Seigo from Seigo & Bren!

Today I would like to talk about 3 things I've come to like about America since coming here!

Nuber 1!

When shopping at a store, for example,

some people start a conversation with you.

This happens fairly often.

Well for example,

say I was wearing some really colorful clothes, or something.

Someone might say "Wow! I love your clothes!"

Or maybe "I like your hair color!"

"I love those shoes!"

People tend to give complements like that!

I don't think this happens very often in Japan.

People don't really try to start a conversation with people they don't know.

But if I'm out walking around a mall, for example, in America,

people often talk to me like that.

The other day when we went to the hospital,

the woman sitting next to me talked to me.

I think she complmented me on my ipad case then!

"Wow, what a cute ipad case!"

I feel like many American people are good at coming up with a reason to start a conversation.

Number 2!

Number 2 is,

I think I said this before,

but Americans are really good at showing affection verbally to their friends and family by saying "I love you".

I like that!

In Japan,

or I guess maybe just in my case,

We don't really say "I love you" to our family members.

Nor do we often tell our friends how much we love them.

I'd never really said those kinds of things before.

After coming to America,

of course I say it to Bren,

but I also say it to Bren's mom,

or family members,

or to friends when we say good bye etc.

Like "Love you!"

I say it then too.

I like it a lot!

It makes me feel good.

I wish we could use these phrases more in Japan!

But that might not happen.

The Japanese word for I love you: "Ai shite iru", is a little bit different from the English one.

If we say "Ai shite iru" in Japan,

it kind of makes us feel shy.

The American culture of saying "I love you",

is really good.

good.

good.

good!

Isn't it?

Bren: It's good!

It would be nice if Japan adopted that culture,

But is that impossible?

Lastly, number 3!

Number 3 is,

food is really cheap for the portion size!

I love to eat!

In Japan when I went out to eat,

I would ALWAYS order the larger sized portion.

Especially if it was free!

I always ordered food with lot's of volume!

But since coming here,

there is no need for me to order a special large portion,

because it is usually already a lot of food!

You are allowed to take home whatever you couldn't finished too!

I think it's very reasonable.

Things at stores that are the same price as they would be in Japan,

tend to have a little bit larger portion as well.

Snacks for sure!

Japanese snacks usually don't even fill half of the package.

Potato chips too!

They put more chips in the bag here!

I see that all the time.

It feels like I'm getting a good deal.

When it comes to food,

I think you really get your money's worth!

You can get a lot of food for just a small ammount of cash.

But one thing you have to be careful of is,

you'll get FAT!

When I first came to 'Merica,

as you can probably tell if you have seen our older videos,

I was a little fat!

I gained 10Kg since coming to America!

In about 6 months time.

I've lost most of it now.

So you have to be careful!

There is lot's of yummy food,

and a lot to eat!

It's cheap so it's easy to eat a lot.

Now that it's just Bren and I,

we have more control of what we eat.

Back in Tennessee,

we would go out and eat good food,

and Bren's mom's cooking is delicous!

It was crazy!

High in calories, but I would eat in anyway!

So that's something to be wary of!

*You're the one who should be careful*!!!

Ok~!

That's all for this video!

What did you think?

There are many other good things about America,

and these are just three of them!

If there is something that you like about America,

please feel free to share it with me in the comment section!

and...

what was it again...?

Oh! and leave a thumbs up! d(￣ ￣)
