U.S. Sent Cash to Iran as Americans Were Freed

Wall Street Journal

"Obama administration insists there was no quid pro quo, but critics charge payment amounted to ransom"

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry speaking with Iranian officials including his counterpart, Javad Zarif, after the agreement was reached in Vienna in July 2015.

"The Obama administration secretly organized an airlift of $400 million worth of cash to Iran that coincided with the January release of four Americans detained in Tehran, according to U.S. and European officials and congressional staff briefed on the operation afterward.
"Wooden pallets stacked with euros, Swiss francs and other currencies were flown into Iran on an unmarked cargo plane, according to these officials. The U.S. procured the money from the central banks of the Netherlands and Switzerland, they said.
"The money represented the first installment of a $1.7 billion settlement the Obama administration reached with Iran to resolve a decades-old dispute over a failed arms deal signed just before the 1979 fall of Iran’s last monarch, Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi." . . .

ISIS: If Muslims Ran America The “Lucrative African Slave Trade” Would Have Continued…

"Black Lives Matter unavailable for comment."


"If Muslims rather than Christians had been running things in countries like the U.S., the Islamic State argues in the most recent issue of its propaganda magazine Dabiq, “the lucrative African slave trade would have continued, supporting a strong economy.”
"As usual, the Islamic State supports its position with theological arguments, suggesting that Allah is pleased with slavery, as long as the slaves are infidels.
“ 'The Islamic leadership would not have bypassed Allah’s permission to sell captured pagan humans, to teach them, and to convert them, as they worked hard for their masters in building a beautiful country,” the article reads.
"Trading in black African slaves, the magazine notes, would not be done for racial reasons but religious ones.
“ 'All of this would be done, not for racism, nationalism, or political lies, but to make the word of Allah supreme. Jihad is the ultimate show of one’s love for his Creator, facing the clashing of swords and buzzing of bullets on the battlefield, seeking to slaughter His enemies – whom he hates for Allah’s hatred of them.”


Benghazi Victim’s Dad Reads Out Of His Diary To Prove Hillary ‘Lied’ [VIDEO]

Daily Caller  "Charles Woods, father of slain Benghazi hero Tyrone Woods, blasted Hillary Clinton Tuesday for lying to himself and to the American people after reading out of his diary the remarks Clinton told him at his son’s casket ceremony in 2012.
"Appearing on “CNN Newsroom” host Carol Costello asked Woods to respond to Clinton’s attempt to discredit the family’s of the Benghazi victims who have criticized her for blaming a video for the deaths of their children instead of blaming the planned terrorist attack.

"Yesterday on CNN, Patrica Smith, the mother of Sean Smith, one of the other Americans who was killed in the Benghazi terrorist attack blasted Clinton, arguing that the former secretary of state “kills people.”(RELATED: Mother Of Benghazi Victim: Hillary Clinton ‘Kills People’ [VIDEO])
"Last Sunday in an interview on “Fox News Sunday,” Clinton attempted to discredit Smith, arguing that she “may not fully recall everything that was or wasn’t said.' ”

Video: Hacked emails show Hillary armed jihadists in Syria — including ISIS

Julian Assange of Wikileaks says hundreds of Hillary emails reveal she helped arm ISIS

"While appearing on Democracy Now last week, Julian Assange said the Wikileaks DNC email collection contains information on weapons shipments to Syria — including the radical terror group ISIS.
“ 'So, those Hillary Clinton emails, they connect together with the cables that we have published of Hillary Clinton, creating a rich picture of how Hillary Clinton performs in office, but, more broadly, how the U.S. Department of State operates,” he said.
“ 'So, for example, the disastrous, absolutely disastrous intervention in Libya, the destruction of the Gaddafi government, which led to the occupation of ISIS of large segments of that country, weapons flows going over to Syria, being pushed by Hillary Clinton, into jihadists within Syria, including ISIS, that’s there in those emails. There’s more than 1,700 emails in Hillary Clinton’s collection, that we have released, just about Libya alone.' ” . . .

The Khans, the Benghazi widow Pat Smith, and the media. Hillary owns two of the three

Guess How MUCH Time Networks Gave KHAN Vs. Benghazi Widow
. . . "Have you heard that Trump had harsh words to say about the parents of Captain Humayun Khan? Of course, you have. Wall-to-wall coverage of that.
"Have you heard that Pat Smith had harsh words to say about Hillary Clinton? Maybe not." . . .

"Media bias has entered new territory in the United States with the nomination of Donald Trump. [Something] approaching  sacred moral duty to defeat him permeates newsrooms across the country. So it is no surprise that news judgments are ridiculously skewed, to the point where comparisons with totalitarian regimes are becoming thinkable.
"Consider the media treatment of two grieving parents of fallen warriors." . . .
Hillary's cynical manipulation of Captain Khan's sacrifice  . . . "Hillary Clinton doesn't give two hoots about Cpt. Khan's combat death, nor his sacrifice.  The phony momentary tribute – followed by militant apathy – is how democrats routinely salute soldiers, Marines, and airmen killed in action." . . .

What Trump Should Have Said about Khizr Khan’s Speech  "Khizr Khan’s speech at the Democrat convention, while perhaps moving, was also shameless, in that he lent the sacrifice and heroism of his son to a highly partisan political party in the midst of a hotly contested election."

Khizr Khan has no shame  "There is no comparison between Khizr Khan and Mrs. Pat Smith.  Mrs. Smith has consistently spoken out that Hillary lied to her by blaming the Benghazi attack on a video when Hillary knew it was a terrorist attack.  Further, Hillary told her they would "get" the video maker.  Thus, Mrs. Smith has a justifiable complaint that Hillary lied about the cause and failed to provide the requested security prior to the attack, and the failure to do anything to help the Americans at Benghazi.  There is a clear connection between Sean Smith's death and Hillary's conduct." . . .
Mr. Khan's son was killed in 2004.  There is absolutely no connection between his death and Donald Trump.  Trump did not lie to Khan about how his son was killed or who was responsible. 
‘I Was Just Joking’: Media Apoplectic as Khizr Khan Attack on Donald Trump Goes Down in Flames 

Kahn and Hillary O Mouth

. . . "But, as Breitbart News showed on Monday midday, that clearly was not the case. Khizr Khan has all sorts of financial, legal, and political connections to the Clintons through his old law firm, the mega-D.C. firm Hogan Lovells LLP. That firm did Hillary Clinton’s taxes for years, starting when Khan still worked there involved in, according to his own website, matters “firm wide”—back in 2004. It also has represented, for years, the government of Saudi Arabia in the United States. Saudi Arabia, of course, is a Clinton Foundation donor which—along with the mega-bundlers of thousands upon thousands in political donations to both of Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaigns in 2008 and 2016—plays right into the “Clinton Cash” narrative." . . .

The entire tide of culture has been directed against conservatives

Why Can't Hillary Clinton Stop Lying?


"The Democratic presidential nominee came off a successful convention week in Philadelphia and landed right back in hot water with another fabrication."
 Ron Fournier in The Atlantic  Mr Fournier can never be accused of even remotely liking Donald Trump, either.   . . . "On Sunday, the former secretary of state told FOX News’ Chris Wallace that FBI Director James Comey cleared her of misleading the public about her rogue email server at the state department: “Director Comey said my answers were truthful, and what I’ve said is consistent with what I have told the American people, that there were decisions discussed and made to classify retroactively certain of the emails.”
"That’s wrong and she knows it, which makes it a lie.
. . . 
"Her dishonesty could push an unknown number of independent and undecided voters into Trump’s camp or toward a non-major-party candidate. If too many swing voters walk away from Clinton because she destroyed her credibility or because they don’t want to condone her behavior, the nuclear codes go to Trump." (My fear is that these qualities of Trump will send the presidency to go toward Hillary. TD)

"That is why Clinton’s advisers, senior Democrats, and members of the liberal media need to stop covering for Clinton. Stop repeating her spin. Stop spreading her lies. Stop enabling her worse angels. It’s too late for Clinton to come clean, but honorable Democrats should at least insist that she stop muddying the water.


"Please, for the sake of the country, tell her: Stop lying."
Better yet, she should no longer be a liar, but become an honest person. TD

Just so you know: How to Spot a Pathological Liar: 
. . . "Basically, a pathological liar is someone who tells lies habitually, chronically and compulsively. It has simply become a way of life for this person, to make up things for a variety of reasons and eventually, the truth becomes uncomfortable while weaving whoppers feels right to them. This kind of lying tends to develop early on in life, often as a response to difficult home or school situations that seemed to resolve better if the child lied. It's a bad habit, not a manipulative trait––this is how to differentiate a pathological liar from a sociopath who does seek to manipulate."
