7 Things Named After Obama, From Schools To Roads To An Extinct Foot-Long Lizard

6. Living Species

Scientists discover new plant, animal, bacterial, and fungal species all the time, and those discoveries always offer a chance for some creativity when it comes to giving them scientific names. By the time Obama left office, there were at least eight living things named after him, according to Science . None of them were particularly warm and fuzzy; instead, the list includes a type of lichen, three species of fish, a spider, a bird, and two — yes, two — parasites.

Thomas Platt, the now-retired biologist who discovered one of those parasites, the Baracktrema obamai species that lives in the blood of some Malaysian turtles, told the Associated Press that he meant the tribute as a compliment rather than an insult.

“It’s long. It’s thin. And it’s cool as hell,” Platt said, calling the Baracktrema obamai “phenomenally incredibly resilient organisms.”

Gateway Pundit, by Jim Hoft — May 27, 2019

Excerpt:

For months the liberal media mocked “We Build the Wall” founder and organizer Brian Kolfage and his plan to use private donations to help build the much-needed security wall between the US and Mexico. Brian raised over $20 million in private donations from over 260,000 individuals to build a border wall on the US southern border.

In January Brian announced the “We Build the Wall” leadership board that includes: Erik Prince, Kris Kobach, Angel Mom Mary Ann Mendoza, Sheriff David Clarke, former Rep. Tom Tancredo and others.

The “We Build the Wall” team held several rallies this spring to continue fundraising for the project.

This Memorial Day Weekend the “We Build the Wall” organization built their first half mile of border wall near El Paso, Texas.

BREITBART, by JAMES P. PINKERTON — May 25, 2019

Excerpt:

Here’s a mournful May 20 headline from Bloomberg Opinion: “The right-wing populist playbook keeps winning.” What’s the secret of this “right-wing populist playbook”? It’s actually not much of a secret: getting more votes.

As I have recently noted, that same right-wing playbook was used in Australia, where the conservative-nationalist coalition just won re-election. And what exactly did the Aussie conservative nationalists do? They attacked their opponents for being liberal globalists, which, of course, they were. See? Politics isn’t so hard. If the majority is conservative and nationalist, the thing to do is invoke that majority, stay true to it, campaign on it—and then you’ll win.

SHARYL ATTKISSON, by Sharyl Attkisson — May 25, 2019

Excerpt:

I’ve done quite a bit of reporting about how Wikipedia is definitely not “the encyclopedia anyone can edit.” It’s become a vehicle for special interests to control information. Agenda editors are able to prevent or revert edits and sourcing on selected issues and people in order to control the narrative.

My own battle with Wikipedia included being unable to correct provably false facts such as incorrect job history, incorrect birth place and incorrect birth date.

What’s worse is that agenda editors related to pharmaceutical interests and the partisan blog Media Matters control my Wikipedia biographical page, making sure that slanted or false information stays on it. For example, they falsely refer to my reporting as “anti-vaccine,” and imply my reporting on the topic has been discredited. In fact, my vaccine and medical reporting has been recognized by top national journalism awards organizations, and has even been cited as a source in a peer reviewed scientific publication. However, anyone who tries to edit this factual context and footnotes onto my page finds it is quickly removed.
