Episode 346 – About Bloody Time!

The pipeline is back up but we shouldn’t rest on our laurels yet.

The conflict in Israel is getting hotter.

Could the United States be facing a coup?

And the Center for Disease Control makes a huge announcement!

Back Online

The Colonial oil pipeline is back online but the cost may be more than is worth.

According to Bloomberg:

“Colonial Pipeline Co. paid nearly $5 million to Eastern European hackers on Friday, contradicting reports earlier this week that the company had no intention of paying an extortion fee to help restore the country’s largest fuel pipeline, according to two people familiar with the transaction.”

So much for never giving in to Russian terrorists.

It was found that the best way to get back online was to pay DarkSide, the hacker group, than restore from backup, if that was even possible.
The payment was made with Bitcoin, which is untraceable.
This really shows the weakness of the Biden administration which saw this as a private matter between the company and the hackers.
This will invite more attacks.
It will take about two weeks for production levels to reach normal.

Let’s face it, this works for the Biden administration. They want to get rid of fossil fuels. They want people to stop driving cars and start driving electric cars.

Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm was asked, by the purring media, a question that I thought was very telling about what the Left thinks.

The reporter asked:

“Obviously, we have the acute issues with the Colonial Pipeline ransomware attack. But looking more holistically in a macro view, how does this speed up the efforts at DOE to move in more of a renewable direction since this is going to have an impact on people at the pump?”

Are you kidding me? This is your question? We had our infrastructure attacked by Russian terrorists, the Biden administration did nothing about it and a reporter asks about how the administration can spend more money on new technology that is around 10% efficient?

God, the media is terrible. But her answer was worse:

“Yeah, I mean, we obviously are ‘all in’ on making sure that we meet the president’s goals of getting to 100% clean electricity by 2035 and net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. And, you know, if you drive an electric car, this would not be affecting you, clearly.”

Really? That’s you answer?

What if you can’t afford the $60,000 an electric car that goes over 100 miles costs? Talk about out-of-touch.

See, here’s the thing: the Biden administration doesn’t care. They don’t care about the people or their lives or what they need to survive.

Meanwhile, the panic continues. A lot of folks in the Southeast are hoarding gas. Today, Biden is telling everyone not to panic, that this whole thing is temporary.

There is a video going around the Internet showing some gal in Florida filling plastic bags with gas and putting it in her trunk. Frigging amazing. Pete Buttigieg, our awesome transportation secretary, actually had to tell people not to put gasoline in plastic bags.

Just amazing. And we are only 113 days into Biden’s Presidency.

Just in Case the Colonial Pipeline Wasn’t Enough

The AP is reporting that a ransomware attack has occurred against the Washington DC police department.

The group is another Russian based group called the Babuk group.
They are asking for $4 million dollars in ransom.
Though not confirmed, the department offered $100,000 but the group said it wasn’t enough.

So, that’s awesome. I guess that’s one way to defund the police. Pay criminal gangs to stay out of police data. What the hell is our government doing?

All Hands on Deck

The battle continues between Israel and the Palestinian Authority.

There have been close to 4000 missiles launched from the Gaza Strip into Israel.
Israel has been responding with 600 of their own attacks. Now, mind you, responding.
Israel has said that everything could end if the Palestinians would just stop firing missiles.
There have been about 40 deaths so far on both sides.
Seven to nine children were killed on the Gaza Strip which has all the Left flipping out. Turns out the missile that hit those children were actually from the Palestinians. So the Palestinians not only don’t care about their people but they are also incompetent.
The Palestinians are admitting that they are getting the missiles from Iran. That’s a Joe Biden gaff for giving money to Palestinian Authority and Iran.
Israel has threatened a land war and promised it would not end until they killed the leadership of all the heads of Hamas, Fatah and the Islamic Jihad terrorist groups.

The Biden administration sure did a great job destroying Middle East peace in just a few months.

Do I Smell a Coup?

More than 120 retired generals and admirals from the United States Armed Forces warned in a letter this week that the U.S. was entering a state of “deep peril” under the leadership of President Joe Biden and even called into question his physical and mental health.

Here is a bit from the letter:

Our Nation is in deep peril. We are in a fight for our survival as a Constitutional Republic like no other
time since our founding in 1776. The conflict is between supporters of Socialism and Marxism vs.
supporters of Constitutional freedom and liberty.

During the 2020 election an “Open Letter from Senior Military Leaders” was signed by 317 retired
Generals and Admirals and, it said the 2020 election could be the most important election since our
country was founded. “With the Democrat Party welcoming Socialists and Marxists, our historic way of
life is at stake.” Unfortunately, that statement’s truth was quickly revealed, beginning with the election
process itself.

Without fair and honest elections that accurately reflect the “will of the people” our Constitutional
Republic is lost. Election integrity demands insuring there is one legal vote cast and counted per
citizen. Legal votes are identified by State Legislature’s approved controls using government IDs,
verified signatures, etc. Today, many are calling such commonsense controls “racist” in an attempt to
avoid having fair and honest elections. Using racial terms to suppress proof of eligibility is itself a
tyrannical intimidation tactic. Additionally, the “Rule of Law” must be enforced in our election
processes to ensure integrity. The FBI and Supreme Court must act swiftly when election irregularities
are surfaced and not ignore them as was done in 2020. Finally, H.R.1 & S.1, (if passed), would destroy
election fairness and allow Democrats to forever remain in power violating our Constitution and
ending our Representative Republic.

Aside from the election, the Current Administration has launched a full-blown assault on our
Constitutional rights in a dictatorial manner, bypassing the Congress, with more than 50 Executive
Orders quickly signed, many reversing the previous Administration’s effective policies and regulations.
Moreover, population control actions such as excessive lockdowns, school and business closures, and
most alarming, censorship of written and verbal expression are all direct assaults on our fundamental
Rights. We must support and hold accountable politicians who will act to counter Socialism, Marxism
and Progressivism, support our Constitutional Republic, and insist on fiscally responsible governing
while focusing on all Americans, especially the middle class, not special interest or extremist groups
which are used to divide us into warring factions.

They also added what the administration is doing that is putting our country at risk. I’ll just list these:

The blast the open border policy.
They point to the threat from China and how it’s being ignored.
They talk about the censorship problem and cancel culture.
The cancelling of the Keystone Pipeline and loss of energy independence.
Re-entering the Iran Nuclear Deal.
The militarization of Washington DC.
The politicization of the military.
The lack of law and order.
The diminished mental capacity of President Biden.

This is dangerous for the Biden administration. But good for us. The military is suppose to protect the Constitution and are suppose to overthrow the U.S. government when it goes outside their Constitutionally mandated powers. It says it in the Constitution and it is the oath every soldier takes when sworn in. They do not swear an oath to the government.

REPORT: Former DNI Says Susan Rice Running ‘Shadow Presidency’ and ‘No One is Paying Attention’

It’s About Damn Time!

Per the Wall Street Journal about the new CDC guidelines released today:

Fully vaccinated people don’t need to wear a mask or physically distance during outdoor or indoor activities, large or small, federal health officials said, the fullest easing of pandemic recommendations so far.

The fully vaccinated should continue to wear a mask while traveling by plane, bus or train, and the guidance doesn’t apply in certain places like hospitals, nursing homes and prisons, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Thursday.

This leaves some questions:

What changed from last week to this week? The science is the same. Why now?
When are the states going to open? I don’t want to wear a mask in a grocery store.
When are schools going to open?
What if I’m fully vaccinated and don’t want to wear a mask? Do I have to prove it with a vaccine passport?
Is Joe Biden going to finally stop wearing his three masks everywhere he goes?

Episode 117 – Representative Cardi?

Iran is falling apart. Democrats, searching for a new narrative, are being called out for supporting the despotic regime. This leads us to the big question: How stable is Iran and what does that mean to us? Supposedly, the articles of impeachment should be heading to the Senate but the House still wants to interview John Bolton. Is this garbage ever going to end? And, try this on for size: Rep. Cardi B.

Oh, by the way, Cory Booker just dropped out of the Democratic Presidential race.

It’s Falling Apart in Iran

Let’s see, what has been happening in Iran:

Their economy has been trashed because of sanctions and the proxy wars they are participating in.
They shut off all social media.
They are jailing women who refuse to wear a hijab.
They have killed between 1500-2000 protesters.
There was an earthquake on top of their nuclear facility (which they can’t afford).
The second in charge of the government, Soleimani, was killed in the middle of a terrorist attack against the United States.
They had a weak response against the United States after Soleimani was killed, making them look weak.
More sanctions have been placed on them by the United States.
And they accidentally shoot down a Ukrainian passenger plane with 176 people, mostly Iranian students.

Is it a wonder that the Iranian citizens are getting ticked.

Thousands of protesters, mostly students have taken to the streets. Their messages are not to the liking of the Mullahs. They including:

Shouting “Death to Islamic Republic dictatorship”
Calls for the Ayatollah to resign.
Tearing the pictures honoring Soleimani off the walls.
Women refuse to wear their hijabs
The refusal of Iranians to trample over giant flags of the United States and Israel and booing those who do.

The Iranian government did its best to try to get its unhappy citizens to love them again. By shooting them with tear gas and, allegedly, live rounds. Once again, am Iranian protest will lead to the deaths of its citizens by a brutal dictatorship.

President Trump, who openly supports the protesters, released the following Tweet after it was reported that the conflicts had turned violent:

Then, just to add oil to the fire, the lone female Olympic medalist, Kimia Alizadeh, decided to defect to Europe, protesting the treatment of women by the government.

The 2016 bronze medalist in tae kwon do stated that she hopes to find herself in the United States one day. Ouch!

The Democrats and the media (but I repeat myself) are struggling to find a new narrative to make Trump the villain in all this. It’s not going well for them.

Nancy Pelosi, this weekend was asked a simple question about whether or not it was a good thing that protesters were calling for the end of the Mullahs in Iran. She tip-toed around the question like a ballerina. Listen:

Of course, she never answered the question. If she said, “yes,” that would go against the appeasement that the Iranian Nuclear Deal the Obama administration still say is working.

If she said, “no,” she would look like she was supporting a terrorist, oppressive, dictatorial regime. Talk about being between a rock and a hard place.

But noticed she almost said what she was thinking: if Soleimani wouldn’t have been killed, tensions wouldn’t have escalated, Iran wouldn’t have needed air defense and that plane wouldn’t have been shot down.

In other words: Orange Man Bad.

Democrats are struggling to find a narrative that makes this a loss for Trump even if it means defending a tyrannical, terrorist regime.

I’m finishing an audio book now called Debunking Howard Zinn by Mary Graber. The book talking about revisionist history and how it is used to change the way people see the United States. We’ll spend a Sunday on that book and how we see history in day-to-day life.

Congresswoman Cardi?

So, last week, after Qessem Soleimani was killed, Cardi B, the former stripper and prostitute, decided to leave this country for Nigeria because Trump is a bad man. They were willing to take her.

She must have heard that Nigeria has high crime, poverty, oppresses women, high pollution and constant war (in other words, it’s a crap hole) decided to step back from leaving the United States.

Instead, she decided that with her vast experience as a stripper, hooker and rapper, she should consider a run for Congress. She Tweeted:

But she does have one problem that she needs to resolve before her run. She Tweeted:

She may be lacking an edu-ma-cation and, like, don’t speak no good, like, but she knows how to ax questions good.

She supports Bernie Sander (what a shock such a mental giant supports him). Of course, Bernie embraced it so much, he held an interview with it:

Unfortunately, she is acting like a typical politician and flip-flopping. Listen to her go off on the government and where her taxes are going:

Genius. And she’s voting for Bernie Sanders who wants to raise taxes from 60% to 90%.

You know what’s sad? After she gets her 8th grade diploma, she’ll run and probably win. She still will be smarter than AOC.

Episode 116 Show Notes – RIP Goat

Marianne makes it official and the race will get more boring. President Trump begins to justify the Soleimani killing. The Left doesn’t care and keeps trying to find a narrative to counter Trump’s big win. Wtf is wrong with Gwenyth Paltrow. And we lost a legend today. And I need to wish a farewell to a childhood hero.

Ciao

The cosmic goddess that is Marianne Williamson, the former “Oprah” staple who pledged to defeat President Donald Trump on the battlefield of love, has now officially dropped her bid for the 2020 Democratic Party presidential nomination after several no-shows at the debates.

Don’t worry. If you don’t know who she is it’s because she’s missed the last three debates and is riding a 1%.

“I ran for president to help forge another direction for our country. I wanted to discuss things I felt needed to be discussed that otherwise were not. I feel that we have done that.

“I stayed in the race to take advantage of every possible opportunity to share our message. With caucuses and primaries now about to begin, however, we will not be able to garner enough votes in the election to elevate our conversation any more than it is now. The primaries might be tightly contested among the top contenders, and I don’t want to get in the way of a progressive candidate winning any of them.”

Ouch

Trump has hit Iran again. His new round of sanctions hit Iran on Friday.This will cost the Iranian economy billions of dollars.

Here they are:

Authorizes the imposition of additional sanctions against any individual owning, operating, trading with, or assisting sectors of the Iranian economy, including construction, manufacturing, textiles, and mining.
There will be 17 specific sanctions against Iran’s largest steel and iron manufacturers, three Seychelles-based entities, and a vessel involved in the transfer of products.
We will be taking action against eight senior Iranian officials who advanced the regime’s destabilizing activity and were involved in Tuesday’s ballistic missile strike. These people include the Ayatollah’s inner circle, the head of Iran’s “brute squad” who was directly responsible for the deaths of Iranian protesters.

Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, said:

“The goal of our campaign is to deny the regime the resources to conduct its destructive foreign policy. We want Iran to simply behave like a normal nation. We believe the sanctions that we impose today further that strategic objective,” Pompeo continued. “Our campaign is composed of diplomatic, economic components that have deprived the regime of billions in revenue the regime has used to fuel death and destruction across the Middle East and all across the world.”

Ouch.

More News Coming Out of the Iran Conflict

Apparently, the killing of Soleimani was only part of the goal that night.

The U.S. military launched a secret operation to kill a second high-ranking Iranian terrorist last week on the same day that President Donald Trump authorized a drone strike that killed Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-Quds Forces (IRGC-QF) Commander Qassem Soleimani.

The unsuccessful airstrike in Yemen was aimed at Abdul Reza Shahlai, an official with Iran’s Quds Force, a potent paramilitary organization. He was known as a key financier for Iran’s proxy wars.

This is a big guy and still might be a target for the future.

He, too, was involved in several terrorist attacks that spanned all the way back to the Iraqi war.

President Trump also said that Soleimani had plans to bomb four embassies including the one in Iraq. He did not have the exact moment they were going to attack Soleimani and he believes that is why Democrats are throwing a fit about being notified.

Pompeo said on Friday that he did alert Congress before the attack but he could not give them exact details simply because he did not have any. That’s a little tidbit we never heard before.

https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-trump-pompeo-release-details-on-terror-attack-soleimani-planned

Gosh, Do They Ever Stop?!

The media and Democrats, but I repeat myself, are doing a stellar job reporting the news in an unbiased fashion.

On Tuesday, while Iran was bombing dirt in Iraq, a Ukrainian jet crashed.

Iran collected the jet wreckage, which had a debris field of twelve miles, confiscated the black box and wouldn’t release it and would not allow anyone to investigate the crash.

Turns out iPhones and satellites won’t help Iran. Several reported that the jet was hit by an Iranian missile which Iran denied. They said there was an accident but it was not an Iranian missile.

What it looks like now is that this crash was caused by a Russian anti-aircraft missile system that Iran bought that was shot by accident. Oops.

Ok, fine. This crap does happen. It was an accident that killed 172 people and, because it was a Ukrainian plane that carried a bunch of Canadians, it is going to be an international incident. But the truth will set you free.

The U.S. downed an Iranian plane in 1988. We took responsibility and we survived without war. But things are a little tougher for Iran.

But the U.S. press and Pete Buttigieg decided it was the President’s fault.

The press and the Democrats continue to act like conflict with Iran started when Soleimani was killed.

Probably Will Pass on This

Actress Gwyneth Paltrow is selling a candle that smells like her vagina at $75 a pop for her lifestyle and wellness company Goop. The name of the candle is none other than, you guessed it, “This Smells Like My Vagina.”

What’s weird is it sold out on a test run.

“This candle started as a joke between perfumer Douglas Little and GP — the two were working on a fragrance, and she blurted out, ‘Uhhh … this smells like a vagina.”

The smell then “evolved into a funny, gorgeous, sexy, and beautifully unexpected scent.”

“That turned out to be perfect as a candle — we did a test run … and it sold out within hours. It’s a blend of geranium, citrusy bergamot, and cedar absolutes juxtaposed with Damask rose and ambrette seed that puts us in mind of fantasy, seduction, and a sophisticated warmth.”

This broad obviously has a high opinion of her vag.

Episode 114 – You Go, Ricky!

Fallout from the Soleimani killing continues. Trumps bans certain forms of vape products. The Democratic Presidential field is shrinking. It is looking more and more like Jeffry Epstein didn’t kill himself. And Ricky Gervais might have saved the Golden Globes.

The Saga Continues

The war of words continues between Iran and the United States.

The President of Iran responded:

So there you have it. The saber-rattling has begun

Do you remember when leaders of countries used to yell at each over the media? Now, they just Tweet at each other.

There have been some attacks. There were a missile attacks today. One in Nigeria or Yemen, one of the two, that killed an American and one at the Baghdad airport. No one is really sure if Iran is involved but you can bet they are.

By the way, this is the kind of attacks you can expect from Iran. I don’t think we should expect a huge terrorist attack. But you better believe that if another American dies, Trump is going to do something about it.

The pro-Iranian parliment voted to kick out the 5000 American troops from Iraq. This is a non-binding resolution and does not mean much at this moment because their Prime Minister has resigned. Of course the media is making a big stink out of this, but it’s not.

Pelosi is trying to limit Trump’s power when dealing with Iran. She’s ticked Trump didn’t report to Congress even if he had no legal reason to do so. She said in a letter to the House and Senate:

“This week, the House will introduce and vote on a War Powers Resolution to limit the President’s military actions regarding Iran. It reasserts Congress’s long-established oversight responsibilities by mandating that if no further Congressional action is taken, the Administration’s military hostilities with regard to Iran cease within 30 days.”

Trump, being a smart ass sent a Tweet stating that he warned Iran and Congress with this post on Sunday:

This isn’t over by a long shot. I will place bets right now another article of impeachment is in the works.

Banning of Vape Products

Trump has decided to temporarily ban certain flavored juices for vape products. It is believed that the flavored oils are what is attracting our children to going out and vaping. Right now, only menthol and tobacco flavored oils are allowed.

This is in response to respiratory failure of around 100 children, leading to the deaths of almost twenty deaths.Vaping is illegal for anyone under the age of 21 and a lot of the illnesses have been linked, not to retail oils, but to black market counterfeit oils and THC products.

President Trump said last week:

This is a failure.

Though illegal, kids are still using it. A lot getting it from the black market. This will only increase dependency on the black market. This does not solve the problem.
Children who cannot get the oils will just start smoking cigarettes. The reality is that children are going to get what they want. They always have.
Again, it takes away a less unhealthy alternative to smoking. I’ve been vaping on-and-off for years. I have never had a problem. Why should kids doing something illegal affect me?

I just think it’s a bad idea to take away the freedom of the many because a few, that are doing it illegally, get hurt. You’re punishing me because some snot-nosed 16-year-old is acting like a snot-nosed 16-year-old. And a couple of hundred getting sick is not justification for the millions that have no other issues.

Oh, yeah. Nothing is going to get fixed by this

Only 47 Left

Julian Castro has suspended his campaign sighting financial issues. He also bases the problem on the DNC’s rules for candidates including the ones that determine who is allowed on the stage during debates. He believes these rules prevent diversity within the Democratic field. You knew he would bring up the race card.

What Julian forgets is he has been riding 1% since he started. He never had a chance. I guess those trans women are going to have to wait until 2024 to have those abortions.

Marianne Williamson has just fired her entire campaign staff. That’s too bad. She’s so much fun.

The Democratic candidates have announced their fundraising totals for the fourth quarter of 2019. The big winner: Donald Trump. For the Democrats:

Bernie Sanders – $34.5 million
Pete Buttigieg – $24.7 million
Joe Biden – $22.7 million
Elizabeth Warren – $21.2 million
Andrew Yang – $16.5 million
Amy Klobuchar – $11.4 million
Cory Booker – $6.6 million
Tulsi Gabbard – $3.4 million
Donald Trump – $46 million

Many Democrats dismiss Trump’s massive haul stating that, when the Democrats totals are combined, it far exceeds Trumps totals.

This assumes that people voting Democrat will vote Democrat no matter who is the nominee. That’s just not the case.

This also assumes Trump has received donations from big donors as Sanders and Warren suggest. This is also not the case.

What we can assume is that Gabbard and Booker will be the next to go and will probably miss the debate stage again.

This Just Keeps Getting Weirder

Photos were released of the Jeffry Epstein crime scene including autopsy photos of Epstein’s neck and pictures of two of the nooses made out of bed sheets.

Viewing the photos, it looks less likely Epstein killed himself and more likely he was strangled. But the whole circumstance is weird. I don’t talk about Epstein much so lets go over the facts.

Jeff Epstein is a pedophile and human trafficker. Hosted parties with huge figures such as Bill Clinton and Prince Andrew.

He was arrested and jailed. While in jail, he was housed with another inmate and on suicide watch. For some reason, his inmate was removed and he was taken off suicide watch. That night, he supposedly hung himself from his bed post with torn up sheets.

Here is what is weird:

He was suppose to be checked on every 15 minutes. Both guards on duty fell asleep, didn’t check on him for two hours and falsified records. Both are pending trial.
The ligature marks on his neck are inconsistent with hanging. He has broken bones around his adam’s apple which are inconsistent with hanging and consistent with strangulation.
Epstein was facing life in jail and was willing to cooperate with police. That puts a lot of people in the cross hairs of the police.
The cameras in the jail were not working. There were two of them. There was some video found though but it is unclear what that video shows.
The video that was found was lost and then found again.
The suicide note said to be found was not a suicide not.
There were two separate nooses found. Though the ligature marks were violent, no blood was found on either noose.
Dr. Michael Baden says that there are several irregularities including:
- The ligature markings don’t match the noose and,
- The body and evidence was collected incorrectly.

This case just keeps getting weirder. I am not a conspiracy guy but I think this guys was murdered and someone ain’t saying something. I hope this story doesn’t get lost because I bet there is a lot there.

The pictures that I did not show on the video cast are below. Viewer discretion is advised.

Episode 113 Show Notes – Ding, Dong! The Devil is Dead!

President ordered the killing of Qessem Soleimani. And everyone is going nuts. I guess they forgot that Soleimani was a mass murderer and stuff.

Ding Dong, the Witch is Dead!

The saga continues.

While the U.S. was monitoring the attack on the U.S. embassy in Iraq, they caught something interesting. They saw the Iranian Major General and terrorist Qassem Soleimani. This guy was involved in the deaths of hundreds if not thousands of Americans.

Why is an Iranian general who is known to work directly with Hezbollah while a sect of Hezbollah is attacking the U.S. embassy in Baghdad, Iraq? Hmm…

So the U.S. intelligence followed him and asked Trump what should happen. Trump authorized the killing of this animal. They sent a drone and…poof…Soleimani is in a thousand pieces.

Trump responded on Twitter:

But the best Tweet came this morning:

Iran had the expected response:

Who cares about if nations like Iran hate us. In a video a little later, you will see a video of a nation that doesn’t hate us: Iraq.

Also, we did do something: We killed one of Iran’s chief terrorists. But this wasn’t the only response:

So the threats are out there and Iran will retaliate. How much so is yet to be seen. I have a feeling that and attacks will be much of what Iran has been doing. Terrorist activities that involve Saudi Arabia, the Strait of Hormuz and more attacks on Israel. I doubt much will be seen against the United States directly since the United States has shown the we have met our tipping point.

The last thing the Mullahs of Iran want is to go too far and have the United States go after them. And, with the killing of such a high-impact target, they have to be weary of what the next move of the United States would be

Speaking of nations that hate us, there is one in the Middle East that is thrilled to see Soleimani dead. That is the people of Iraq. It wasn’t just the Americans that had to worry. The Iraqi people, most of whom hate Iran, were thrilled to hear about his death and spent the night celebrating. Thanks to Ruptly of YouTube for the footage:

For the United States, the celebration was cut short. Americans were warned to get out of Iraq or risk being targets of attacks.

The United States has made a stand and Americans abroad need to be aware.

Today, in his first press conference since the killing, Trump said:

Of Course, The Talking Heads Have Their Opinions

I don’t think much of the Left. There is no way that anyone could see that it was a bad think that this piece of human debris was dead. Well, hatred for the bad orange man and the United States does exceed the hatred of a mass murderer and terrorist organization.

The United Nations had the typical response when the United States does something on their own without asking their permission. U.N. reporter, Agnes Callamard Tweeted:

Um, no. This was a terrorist and, because of that, this does not violate any laws. And the fact that Soleimani was at the riots at the U.S. embassy and was involved with the terrorist attacks last week that killed an American defense contractor shows that this guy was not a real activist for human rights. I’m not even bringing up all the stuff he has done over the last ten years including the killing of hundreds of Iranian protesters over the last few months. This is a bad guy.

And when did the U.N. become the bastion of human rights unless it was an action the United States took?

What about the sweat shops and illegal arrests in China and their oppression of Hong Kong?
What about the dictatorship in Venezuela and their people who are starving?
What about the human rights abuses in Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Afghanistan and Iran?

Fr Christ’s sake, the U.N. put Iran, notorious for human rights violations, on the human rights council. I don’t really care for the U.N. and I think the property they are taking up in New York would be great for a Starbucks and Dominos Pizza.

Of course, comrades Schiff and Pelosi had comments about this. Like why wasn’t the House notified so they could give the thumb’s up for the operation. Schiff Tweeted:

Congress also didn’t authorize the killing of Bin Laden. You know why? Because the killing of a terrorist doesn’t require Congressional approval.

This was also an opportunity for the country. They knew where this guy was. He would have been gone. So what? We wait for him to kill more people so we could find him again?

Anyway, Trump didn’t inform Schiff because it would end up on the front page of the New York Times by morning.

Pelosi released a statement:

Let’s see: Iran killed an American contractor last week, they blew up a Saudi oil field, they are dropping bombs on Israel through their actions in “Palestine,” they shot down one of our drones, attacked our embassy in Iraq and have killed close to 2000 people in their own country.

They already are threatening our citizens. Even giving them a pallet of cash, as Obama did, doesn’t seem to be slowing them down. Maybe it is time for our foreign policy goes in a different direction.

Again, Congress does not need to be “consulted.” Just as Congress wasn’t “consulted” during the Bin Laden Killing. Hey, at leas, maybe, they have another reason to impeach Trump.

But this isn’t the only one. Ilhan Omar said:

Stop him for what? Maybe this Soleimani was another brother she was married to at one point.

Rashida Tlaib Tweeted:

If we killed a Jew, Tlaib wouldn’t say a word. Last I checked, killing a terrorist is not declaring war. God, she’s stupid.

But we still have the genius of the group and she was eerily quiet on Twitter. I guess she had to break out the thesaurus to find new words since her Tweets have been getting a little dry lately. Here’s AOC:

The over-dramatization is awesome. No wonder she took so long to release this Tweet.

Soleimani was in Iraq committing a terrorist act against the U.S. embassy. So this is just killing a terrorist which isn’t an act of war.
Iran doesn’t want a war and, if there was one, millions wouldn’t die. That conflict would be done in three weeks.
Her last lines assume we are at war. That’s just stupid. Do you know what would have prevented war in 2003? The killing of Osama Bin Laden in 2002.

The comparison of the Iraq was in 2003 and this is a real stretch and just kind of dumb.

What About Our Presidential Candidates

Our Presidential candidates had a lot to say. They are all in front of cameras bitching about this but their Tweets are telling enough. Let’s go from the top down. Let’s start with Joe Biden.

This is why Biden can’t be President. He’s scared of these people and only think appeasement is the way to deal with them. Let’s not forget: He was Vice President when the Iran Nuclear Deal was signed. That didn’t stop Iran from doing anything.

Let’s look at Bernie:

Bernie was kicked out of a commune and was caught singing the Soviet national anthem, shirtless during his honeymoon. Pretty sure that’s going to come up if he wins the nomination.

But, one other thing: when did Bernie care about spending trillions?

Yeah, Mayor Pete is in third. I’m not going to use his last name because “butt” always seems to be a thing. Couple of issues with his statement:

He admits that this guy was bad.
He brings up that he was in the military…again.
Finally, he assumes he can stablize something that has never been stable.

Hey, Pete? How? More well-sculpted rhetoric.

What does Chief Warren have to say:

Again, same thing. No ideas. Do you see the pattern here?

Let’s see what Mean Girl Klobachar has to say:

Yes, she’s still a candidate so I have to include her but do you notice something? No solutions.

The Clinton and Bush administrations tried to ignore them. Nothing happened. They continued to be terrorists and started trying to build a nuclear bomb.

We have spent the entire Obama administration placating to these people. We gave them over a billion dollars in cash on pallets. Yet Iran kept on with their BS.

Actually punching them in the mouth seems to be the only thing we haven’t tried.

Finally, let’s read what Maryianne Williamson had to say:

I know: she’s not important and I didn’t read this before I put this in so I decided to include it. It also shows how dumb she is.

First, this is not a declaration so she wrong like every other Democrat.

What’s funny is she actually defends Trump with her second sentence. She’s right! Trump does have the authority to fight terrorism. Good for you, Marianne! Maybe you should run as a Republican in 2014!

But What Do Our Celebrates Think?

Anthony Hopkins, the guy who played Hannibel Lector in Silence of the Lambs, was asked why he never talked about politics. Hopkins, always a class act, said actors should stick with what they know and avoid politics because, “Actors are pretty stupid.”

Good thing for us they are so stupid, they don’t know how stupid they are or sound. That’s entertainment. It’s better than most of the movies they make.

First, John Cusak:

This is, by the way, why most actors don’t write. This whole post makes no sense. It also shows he has no idea what’s going on in the country or the world.

But that wasn’t the dumbass of the week. Enter Rose McGowen:

I don’t think 52% of Democrats feel bad for a country that exploits its people, oppresses women, executes gays, supports proxy wars throughout the Middle East to gain power, wants to destroy Israel and supports terror activities that has killed tens of thousands.

This idiotic Tweet started the #MoveToIran tag where she was lambasted. Even by the Left.

Final Thoughts

I think Lindsey Graham said it best during a Fox News interview:

“All the thing Soleimani had done in the past were real, but he’s not dead today because of what he did in the past. He’s dead today because he miscalculated what President Trump would do regarding future attacks.”

This hits it on the head and why the Left is missing this. That’s why their rhetoric keeps losing them elections.

They have the Stuart Smalley philosophy on foreign policy. You remember Stuart Smalley? The SNL character played by Al Franken? Here’s a clip that will jog your memory:

Here’s the problem the Left has.

Conservatives already know we are good enough. We can tell the differences between evil and good. We can tell who wants to hurt us. Our actions are only about the good for us and the rest of the world.
Conservatives already know we are smart enough. We created the Internet, the best economy in human history and the strongest defense.
Conservatives don’t give a damn if anyone likes us. They just need to respect us an, in the case of countries like Iran, fear us.
The Left has always thought our country was bad. We are all racist, sexist, bigoted homophobes. And anything we do should be questioned.
The Left doesn’t think we are smart enough. The country wasn’t built on ingenuity but of the backs of slaves and oppression of the poor. We didn’t invent anything, the oppressed did. They do believe this.
The Left are globalists. They need the rest of the world to like us. We need to be kind to everyone. And this attitude is a recipe for disaster.

Here’s the story:

This guy was responsible for the deaths of tens of thousands of people on, at least, two continents. He needed to die. The only tragedy here is he didn’t suffer.
Appeasement doesn’t work. Clinton and Bush ignored Iran and it didn’t slow them down. Obama appeased Iran and it didn’t slow them down. Trump just punched them in the mouth. Bet it works.
Soleimani was in Iraq, watching the attack on the U.S. embassy. Why was he there? He had no fear of appraisal. Well, they will now.
Everyone breath and mellow out. We aren’t going to war. We don’t want it. Iran definitely doesn’t want it. Relax.
There will be attacks. Iran must save face. These attacks will probably be in Saudi Arabia, Europe, the Strait of Hormuz and Israel where they will face little American payback (though Israel may be an issue for them). My guess they will attack assets more than people.

By the way, I just got an alert from Fox News stating that the United States had another airstrike in Northern Baghdad, killing five more Iran-backed militia. Wow.
