EMBARRASSING: Europeans Realizing Trump Was Right About Iran

Daily Wire 

. . . "It must be murder for them to admit it, but suddenly Western European leaders are realizing President Trump was right about ditching the Iran nuclear treaty. On Tuesday, diplomats from the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and France expressed their concern because of an Iranian medium-range ballistic missile test on Saturday." . . .

 . . . "Dutch Ambassador Karel van Oosterom added, “This kind of ballistic missile activity is inconsistent with the JCPoA , especially Annex B which calls on Iran not to engage in these kinds of activities.” Even French Ambassador François Delattre avowed the test was "inconsistent" with the resolution, urging Iran to "immediately cease any activity related to ballistic missiles designed to be able to carry nuclear weapons, including launches using ballistic missile technology."
"Still, the group displayed its usual pusillanimous attitude when it came to Iran, with the resolution stating it only “calls upon” Iran to stop its ballistic tests instead of demanding a cessation.
"On Tuesday, U.S. Ambassador Nikki Haley, in her typically blunt manner, stated that the ballistic test was "dangerous and concerning, but not surprising" adding, “The United States has repeatedly warned the world about Iran’s deliberate efforts to destabilize the Middle East and defy international norms. The international community cannot keep turning a blind eye every time Iran blatantly ignores Security Council resolutions. If the Security Council is serious about holding Iran accountable and enforcing our resolutions, then at a minimum we should be able to deliver a unanimous condemnation of this provocative missile test."
"Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), echoed, “The United States has only begun to reverse the damage done by Obama's Iran nuclear deal, which gave the Ayatollahs the resources and diplomatic breathing room to build more and better ballistic missiles. The last round of sanctions, while important, clearly failed to deter Iran from advancing their missile program. It's time to totally cut off Iran from the global financial system and deny them the resources they're using to threaten us and our allies.”

Teacher fired for refusing to use trans student's pronouns

Good grief!

MSN  "A Virginia high school teacher who refused to use a transgender student's new pronouns has been fired.

"News outlets report that the West Point School Board voted unanimously Thursday to dismiss Peter Vlaming after a four-hour hearing that drew an overflow crowd. The school system said in a statement that Vlaming was fired for insubordination.

"Over the summer, the ninth-grade student's family informed the school system of the student's gender transition to male. The student wasn't involved in Thursday's hearing.

"It's not suggested that the 47-year-old West Point High School French teacher deliberately referred to the student using female pronouns in the student's presence, but in conversations with others.

"Witnesses described a "slip-up" when the student was about to run into a wall and Vlaming told others to stop "her." When discussing the incident with administrators, Vlaming made it clear he would not use male pronouns, a stance that led to his suspension referral for disciplinary action.

" 'I can't think of a worse way to treat a child than what was happening," said West Point High Principal Jonathan Hochman, who testified that he told Vlaming to use male pronouns in accordance with the student's wishes.

"Vlaming told superiors that his Christian faith prevented him from using male pronouns for the student. Vlaming said he had the student in class the year before when the student identified as female." . . .

A petition to support Vleming(sp) is currently 30 signatures shy of its goal.

He Played Handball For Australia's Men's Team. Now Transgender, He's Dominating Women's Handball.  . . . "Last month, for example, the athlete posted a bizarre tweet praising Iran for being inclusive and progressive with regard to transgenderism in comparison to his home country. Of course, gay men in Iran can be murdered if they are found out to be homosexual, so many resort to presenting themselves as the opposite sex as a more acceptable, or frankly less fatal, option.

" 'How good would it be if Australia was as progressive and inclusive as Iran," he wrote." . . .

After DNA test, even Elizabeth Warren's fellow Democrats have got the willies over her

Monica Showalter  "Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) is running for president, and she's not quite getting the response she thought she would, even from her fellow leftists.

According to the New York Times, "Elizabeth Warren Stands by DNA Test. But Around Her, Worries Abound."

"Here, the Boston Globe's editorial page recommended that she wise up and not run: "Deval Patrick knew when to call it quits on a presidential bid. Other politicians take note."

"Memo to Liz: That's your establishment.

"Fox News, of course, has fun with the whole thing, but we don't have to count that outlet.

"Seems the fake Indian scandal is sticking to Warren, and pretty much defining her, enough for Democrats to get the willies.  Her DNA test, supposedly to Get Trump on his taunts that she's a fake Indian, were released in a hamfisted time ahead of midterms, and more important for her, revealed that she may be as little as 1,024th Indian, less than the average American.  That's what's going on, and why the Times chose to highlight the issue by quoting Democrat operatives.

"Here's a random tweet that demonstrates the real flavor of what's going on out there, not the prissy Times version:" . . .

Don't go away mad, Joe – just go away

Acting the buffoon at the Ryan VP debate

Richard Jack Rail  "Joe Biden says he's the most qualified person in the country to be president. 

"Well, Joe, if it were about paper qualifications, you'd have an argument.  You have an East Coast (if not Ivy League) sheepskin.  You've been in the Senate and warmed the veep's chair.  You've run for president.

"You've been around, no question about that, and for a long time.  A very long time.

"That's what you've done.

"What you have not done is anything worth talking about.  We all admire your dental and hair work, and we're duly impressed with your wife's doctorate in education.  We're not so taken with the way you ran the Anita Hill hearings, your putting your hands all over other men's daughters in public places, your lifting other people's words and not giving attribution, or your being wrong on just about everything in foreign policy and national security for the last four decades.

"Nothing comes to mind that recommends you, Joe, and we don't want another president who needs a teleprompter to tell him what to say, or a line of interns in the wings to take care of his personal qualification.

"You guys on the left, Joe, don't seem to grasp that being president is serious business.  You keep putting up people whose flaws make Richard Nixon look shiny – people whose personal lives have been tawdry, petty, bullying, and ugly.

"People like you, Joe.  Well qualified, but with nothing of substance to recommend them.

"Bow out gracefully.  Go home and enjoy the pretend adulation of family and neighbors.  Retire.  Get out of the spotlight.  If you ever had a chance at the big prize, you blew it long ago."

Still good looking after all these years

Bill And Hillary Tour Underwhelms In Ticket Sales, Attendance, and Hot Air

. . . "Does anyone else think it’s odd that a former U.S. president and a former Secretary of State began a self-promoting tour in Canada? Maybe it’s just me." . . .

Bill and Hillary Clinton should just go quietly  "Like an aging vaudeville duo whose act has grown stale and whose once-adoring audiences have diminished to a nostalgia-driven handful, Bill and Hillary Clinton have taken to the lecture circuit in their obsessive quest for relevancy and, of course, money." . . .

Bill and Hillary Clinton Have Overstayed Their Public Welcome . . . "The talk by the former first couple in Toronto was reported as consisting of rants and raves.
"It was an evening of Trump-bashing and what might have been.
"Just imagine if Election Day in 2016 had seen Donald Trump defeated. Today first gentleman Bill could be tending to the Rose Garden, planning the White House Christmas decorations, redecorating the family quarters, and picking the menus for state dinners. And President Hillary could be breaking glass ceilings and cellphones, and fighting what she once called the “vast right-wing conspiracy.”
"The Clintons’ shtick in their appearances is a walk down memory lane, revenge, jokes only the most ardent Clinton lovers would find funny, fantasy and tag-team banter.
"Juxtapose the Clintons’ speaking tour for profit and President Trump’s free-admission appearances to standing-room audiences and thousands waiting outside in cities all across America.
"Breaking news: The Clintons ain’t what they used to be. They are desperately trying to stay relevant in a nation and a party that have long since moved on." . . .

Developing: Axios, CNN Report Kelly To Resign “In Coming Days”

Axios  "Get ready for a little Christmas-season drama at the White House … or at least in the media. Axios’ Jonathan Swan and Mike Allen offered a bare-bones report on the upcoming departure of chief of staff John Kelly earlier this morning as part of a review of other changes coming. According to their sources, Mike Pence’s chief of staff Nick Ayers will likely get the job instead:" . . .
. . . 
"CNN followed up with two sources who also say  Kelly will resign within days as his relationship with Donald Trump has hit an all-time low. “Right now, the president and his chief of staff are not even on speaking terms,” CNN’s Kaitlan Collins reports below:" . . .

Remember this encounter between General Kelly and rookie senator Kamala Harris (Democrat, California)?
