With only a a few hours left before leaving office it appears President Obama is not going to officially pardon Hillary Clinton for any crimes, since he has unofficially done so already. Hillary will soon be at the mercy of an unforgiving President Trump. New York Post reports: Obama has pardoned or commuted the sentences of more than 1,000 people — in fact, he’s the most forgiving president in history. And while Hillary has until noon Friday to get a pardon for any crimes she may have committed, Obama as of noon Wednesday does not intend to pardon Madame Secretary. Why not?

Veteran CNN news anchor, Wolf Blitzer, aired a strange report Wednesday discussing what would happen if President-elect Donald Trump was assassinated during an attack before taking the oath of office on Friday.

President Barack Obama made a payment of $500 million to a UN program to help poor countries in the fight against climate change just days before he was due to leave the White House. The US State Department said on Tuesday that the Obama administration had made its second $500 million payment into the Green Climate Fund (GCF)  The payment was transferred three days before the inauguration of Donald Trump who pledged before his election victory to “cancel billions in global warming payments to the United Nations” and devote funds instead to “environmental infrastructure” at home.

A new initiative was launched in Macedonia on Tuesday to examine the activities of the George Soros funded Open Society Foundations. ‘Stop Operation Soros’ (SOS) is dedicated to countering the influence of the billionaire globalist George Soros. The founders of the group called on all “free-minded citizens,” regardless of ethnicity or religion, to join them in their “fight against one-mindedness in the civil sector, which is devised and led by George Soros”, during a press conference. The movement says it will begin by focusing on uncovering ‘subversive’ activities by Soros-funded NGOs.

Three weeks after John Kerry's State Department was humiliated one last time when Russia, Turkey and Syria sat down alone, demonstratively without inviting the US, to discuss the terms of a proposed Syrian ceasefire, Russia has already offered a diplomatic fig leaf to the incoming Trump administration when Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told the press Russia has invited the United States to take part in the upcoming talks on Syria, 

"As I said yesterday, we have already invited the US," Lavrov told journalists in Moscow on Thursday.
