CNN and Fox News Report on the Rise of Hitler

Why on Earth are our media –- and our president –- consumed with “Whither Iran?” when hundreds of Americans are dying every day at the hands of the country sitting right next door? Ann Coulter
Townhall
Ann Coulter  "While listening to news reports of what a monstrous threat Iran is, I've been wracking my brain to think of a single terrorist attack in this country committed by an Iranian. If there is one, now would be a good time to mention it! But I can’t find any.
"Nor any child rapes, Medicare frauds, heroin dealing or general anti-social behavior making life in America such a pleasure these days.
"Even the 9/11 report could tie Iran to the attacks only on the thin reed of several hijackers passing through Iran on their way to the U.S. -- where our customs officials welcomed all 19 of them with open arms.
"Thirteen of the 19 terrorists had been given Florida drivers' licenses. If we’re going back to 9/11, maybe Trump should consider dropping a drone on Jeb Bush.
"To get killed by an Iranian -- or even to be harassed by an Iranian -- you have to go the Middle East.
"Breaking News: Unrest in the Middle East!
"Why is the solution to this problem always to gather up our best young men ... and send them to the Middle East?
"President George W. Bush tried to pacify that region of the world with the Iraq War. We see how well that worked.
"By 2016, Americans were so sick of pointless Middle Eastern wars that even Trump’s ham-handed attacks on President Bush, saying he had “lied” about weapons of mass destruction, led to Trump’s landslide victory in the most hawkish state of the union: South Carolina.
"But today, Americans are sitting at home being scared out of their wits by news reports of the “threat” Iran poses to their children, their homes, their commute to work, their very lives.
"They can rest easy. It’s more likely that Mars will attack, and we didn’t just kill a Martian general.
"Just in terms of American Lives Snuffed Out, the greatest threat to our country, hands down, comes from Mexico. Doesn’t “national security” have something to do with keeping Americans alive?
"Mexican heroin killed at least 14,000 Americans last year. Mexican fentanyl and methamphetamine killed about 10,000 to 14,000. Hispanic drunk drivers -- Mexicans or other Hispanics given safe passage to the U.S. through Mexico -- kill about 3,000 Americans every year.
"That’s not to mention the random murders, the Kate Steinles, the cartel and gang killings, and even the occasional mass murder committed by Mexicans in the U.S. (Look up Eduardo Sencion and Salvador Tapia.)"
"Number of Americans killed in their own country every year by Iranians: 0 that I know of.
"Number of Americans killed in their own country every year by Mexicans: 30,000, by conservative estimate." . . .

Our Soleimani links for you

Dems Forget Soleimani's Plot to Bomb Washington
Perhaps President Trump should invite some of the families of the soldiers Soleimani murdered and some of the wounded warriors he maimed so Pelosi could look up at them and see why the killing of enemy combatant Soleimani in a war zone as he plotted to turn our embassy in Baghdad into another hostage crisis or worse, another Benghazi, was justified.
 Wait. Didn't Obama's 'Amazing' Shrink-Wrapped 'Iran Deal' Outlaw the Missiles the Ayatollah Used?  . . . "In fact, the Obama administration's Iran deal, the JCPOA – worst acronym ever – did not cover ballistic missiles. It referred to nuclear weapons.
"In other words, the deal covered weapons that the Ayatollah was least likely to use, but didn't cover the ones he could readily use." . . .

Israeli think tank has Soleimani's number . . . "The title of the study just out is "The Soleimani Killing: An Initial Assessment" and it's a must-read at this link here. The essays are short and striking. Here's a bit of sampling of what the short papers contain:". . . 

I still look for "non-Iranian" parties to target places here in the US, Trump himself possessing many targets.

Rent-a-Mobs Will Not Ease Khamenei’s Grim Future . . . "But the bulk of the demonstrators are there, not because they wish to pay tribute to the fallen martyr, but because they have to be. They have been commanded to be present, and, in addition to their fees, they are getting food and transportation to the various mob sites." . . .

Elizabeth Warren Won’t Criticize Soleimani, Deflects By Bashing Trump Instead (VIDEO)  "Democrats are so consumed by their hatred of Trump, that they can’t bring themselves to admit that Soleimani was an evil man who deserved to be eliminated.
"During a recent appearance on CNN, Elizabeth Warren referred to the man responsible for the deaths of hundreds of American soldiers as a high ranking Iranian government official.
"She then spent the rest of her appearance bashing Trump." . . .

What Would a Democratic Socialist America Look Like? I Can Tell You—I’m Venezuelan.

Daniel Di Martino

"The closer we get to the 2020 election, Democratic presidential candidates support more socialist proposals, and the more that we Venezuelan immigrants experience déjà vu.
"We’re all-too-familiar with the rhetoric Democrats have delivered over the course of their campaigns. All candidates endorse a transition to Medicare-for-All in one form or another, higher taxes on Americans, and a fresh wave of regulations and government-guaranteed “rights.” And just recently, Elizabeth Warren seemed to endorse government-provided housing. These are the kinds of measures they hope will bring about a paradise similar to the Left’s beloved Nordic countries. Even so, for Americans used to a liberal government, it can be hard to envision what a democratic-socialist America would really look like. 
"But I can. I’ve lived it.
"I saw my home country go from prosperity to starvation in less than two decades. All because the people were tricked into voting for a candidate who sought to punish the rich and give everything away for free. Sound familiar?
"If America buys into the ideas of the Sanders and Warrens of the world, things will go downhill just as quickly." . . .

Kaepernick: the American left packaged into one man

Kaepernick’s disgraceful, ridiculous ‘racial’ lens on Soleimani slay


"In the torrent of idiotic commentary unleashed by the killing of Qassem Soleimani, Colin Kaepernick’s deserves a place of honor.
"The NFL washout and Nike persona who makes sure the company doesn’t produce any overly patriotic sneakers tweeted: “There is nothing new about American terrorist attacks against black and brown people for the expansion of American imperialism.”
"For Kaepernick, Soleimani is just another dark-skinned man brutalized by America. The Iranian terror master was, in effect, driving while non-white and paid the ultimate price. For all we know, the operator of the MQ-9 Reaper drone that took him out was making a white-supremacy hand signal while unleashing this racist attack.
"This interpretation of events takes identity politics to a whole new level, defining the blood-drenched hit man for a terroristic, profoundly anti-Semitic, deeply intolerant theocracy as a victim, based on his skin color alone.
"Obviously, no one will mistake Kaepernick for an original thinker; he’s only repeating things he’s read or been told in a slightly more ­lurid form. His worldview is disproportionately represented in academia and on the left, which object to calling Soleimani a monster (hence, Elizabeth Warren’s pathetic backtracking after initially condemning Soleimani)." . . .


Iran is our enemy.  They’ve been telling us so for 40 years. Yet, the traitorous Democrats side with Iran.
Diamond & Silk Say Kaepernick Might Be Happy Living in Another Country 
"Conservative activists Diamond and Silk roasted Colin Kaepernick on Monday after he trashed the United States while making millions of dollars on American soil.
“ 'I’m tired of these people talking about [how] they don’t like our policies,” the duo stated during their appearance on The Todd Starnes Show. “Ignore race baiters, haters, and agitators. And that’s what Colin Kaepernick is.”
“ 'They don’t like America, but they make millions and millions of dollars in America,” Diamond and Silk continued. “Then go somewhere where you like it.”
"Kaepernick recently drew criticism for his controversial tweets following the United States’ fatal attack on Iranian leader Qassem Soleimani.
“ 'President Trump has been trying to give Iran a chance,” Diamond and Silk said. Listen to their entire interview here.
“ 'They keep testing the waters. They keep pushing the paper over the edge until it falls.”
"The dynamic duo believes that President Trump’s approach to foreign policy “has the United States of America looking strong,” adding that Democrats are only in it for the money.
“ 'Obama drew a line in the sand and gave them 150 billion,” they said. “[President Trump] took a drone and some missiles up over there.' ” . . .

WATCH LIVE: Trump addresses nation after Iran strikes at U.S. troops in Iraq

Youtube Long dead air until 57:33 when the President begins.
"President Trump delivered remarks from the White House following Iran's launch of missile attacks targeting U.S. military personnel in Iraq. The al-Asad air base in western Iraq, which houses some U.S. troops, was hit by missiles, according to a U.S. defense official familiar with the situation. Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed the missiles were launched in revenge for a U.S. airstrike last week that killed a top Iranian commander, Maj. Gen. Qasem Soleimani. "

Ask an Iranian

People's Cube
Dan Truitt  "I saw my Iranian refugee friend Kaveh in church this morning and asked him what he thought of the killing of Qasem Soleimani.
“I’m a little unhappy with it,” he said. “My wife’s unhappy, too. So are our parents in Teheran.”“Why””“Because he didn’t suffer.”“You’re a Christian, right?”“Right.”“Trust me, brother, he’s suffering,” I said.
"I’m an ex-pat living next door to the Middle East, and I don’t think most Americans understand what a significant historic event this is. Most Iranians are completely fed up with the oppressive reign of the mullahs, and most Middle East countries are completely fed up with the organized terrorism being exported by Iran, which has been destabilizing the region for the last four decades.
"It all began when a rather gullible peanut rancher from Plains, Georgia, who occupied the White House for a mostly unfortunate four years, allowed the foxy old cleric to convince him that a Khomeini-led Iran would be friendly to the United States. Not long after that the U.S. embassy fell to an organized Iranian mob. To be fair, Khomeini wasn’t behind the embassy seizure, but he quickly understood that he held a huge bargaining chip in the face of the Carter-led USA’s lack of resolve.
"Mark Steyn, substituting for Rush Limbaugh last Friday, said that Soleimani arrived at Bagdhad Airport, collected his luggage, and then about five minutes later collected his seventy-two virgins. “The reason he got seventy two virgins,” Steyn quipped, “was because he was blown into seventy-two pieces.' ” . . .

Biden: Trump Doesn't Want to 'Face Me in November'

What if Joe treats Trump as he did Paul Ryan in 2012?
Newsmax  "Former Vice President Joe Biden claimed his presidential campaign is gaining strength "despite months of lies and vicious attacks" against him by President Donald Trump.
"Biden made his comments in a column posted Tuesday by USA Today.  
"Here's the only question we should be asking: Did Donald Trump abuse the presidency for personal, political gain?" he said. "The answer is clear. He openly, brazenly and repeatedly called for foreign interference in our elections. He indicted himself in full view of the American people, attacking the foundations of our democracy in the process.
"Pushups, Donald? C'mon!"
"It's also clear why he did it. Trump knows that in a fair election, if I am the nominee, it will be a tough fight. Poll after poll shows me beating him in key battleground states like Florida and Pennsylvania. That's why he's trying to smear me now. He wants to pick the Democratic nominee so that he doesn't have to face me in November."
"Biden said he has already shown he can stand up to Trump's "dirty tricks." He maintained his own campaign is getting stronger "because the truth is not up for debate."
"He accused Trump of "deflecting attention from his own abuses." And Biden claimed that whenever the president "has gotten into trouble, he has tried to lie, cheat or bully his way out of the consequences.' " . . .

Ricky Gervais Deserves a Medal for Roasting the Wankerati at the Golden Globes

Ricky Gervais Deserves a Medal for Roasting the Wankerati at the Golden Globes


. . . "Gervais is right, of course. The offence-taking industry has got grotesquely out of hand – and no institutions have been more responsible for promoting this cry-bully culture of entitled victimhood than the ones that Gervais lambasted at the Golden Globes.
"It’s a great start to the 2020s – a decade which, I believe, will see a growing backlash to woke culture, as we normal people realise that it’s us, not the snowflakes of academe and the mainstream media and the entertainment industry, who are the majority and that for the last two decades we’ve had our culture stolen away from us by a small, shrill minority of brainwashed fruitcakes.
"Gervais’s Golden Globes performance may yet come to be recognised as one of those pivotal events where we all finally realised that the Emperor of Woke is in fact wearing no clothes.
"The man deserves a knighthood, at the very least, for services to Western Civilisation." . . .

Soleimani’s IEDs killed more than 600 American soldiers, wounded many more

News13  "Many people heard the name Qasem Soleimani for the first time last night when the Iranian general was killed by U.S. forces.
"Soldiers who have come through Fort Benning, have known Soleimani’s name for nearly two decades.
"And they have known of his evil deeds in the Middle East.
"Soleimani was the man behind a more deadly Improvised Explosive Devices that ran up the American casualty count beginning in 2003.
"There are 6,989 names on the wall of the Global War on Terror Memorial at the National Infantry Museum. Soleimani’s work is responsible for more than 600 of those deaths, according to a 2018 U.S. Department of Defense study.
"Another 1,600 soldiers who were maimed or injured from the devices.
"Peter L. Jones was there in 2003-04. Back again in 2007-08. And in 2009-10 was a brigade commander in the Third Infantry Division.
"Asked if Soleimani was a bad guy, Jones didn’t pause.
“ 'Well, yes. You can’t say that he did not have American blood on his hands,” Jones said. “And his goal was to keep American influence out of the Middle East and make sure those countries turned toward Tehran versus Washington.”
"The Global War on Terror Memorial is the only place in the nation where the names of all of the men and women who died since 9-11 can be found in one place.
"Soleimani was a high-value target, Jones said.
“ 'When you understand who’s responsible for that threat to your soldiers, you have mixed emotions. But he was a legitimate target,” Jones said. “The head of a terrorist organization, that was going to continue to spread malign influence throughout the region and was going to continue to be a threat.” . . .

Protests Take Place Around Massachusetts After Killing Of Iran General Qassem Soleimani


Ignored by Liberal Mainstream Media: Iranian Regime Bribed Funeral Attendees with Free Meals

The Gateway Pundit
"The liberal pro-Iranian mainstream media could not stop talking about the size of the crowds at the “popular” and “loved” Qassem Soleimani funeral today."

Proof of free lunch? Here: Official news agency IRNA: "Khalil Najafi, head of reconstruction of holy sites in Central Prov.: 40K plates of warm food for lunch, breakfast & snacks distributed.
Don’t believe Iranian propaganda about the mourning for Soleimani  "Over the next few days, it will be hard to escape footage of huge crowds gathering in Iranian cities to mourn the death of Qasem Soleimani, the Iranian general killed by a U.S. drone strike. For anyone watching, I have one piece of advice: Don’t take what you’re seeing at face value.
"This past November, thousands of Iranians took to the streets across the country to protest against the regime, in the biggest challenge to the clerical rule in 40 years. According to Reuters, more than 1,500 people were killed by security forces, including units of Soleimani’s Revolutionary Guard, and at least 7,000 have been arrested. The Internet was shut down for five days. Tehran has yet to release official figures of its own, which suggests the death toll may have been even higher.
"The protesters had harsh words for Soleimani and his foreign adventures, chanting against Iran’s involvement in Syria and its support of Hezbollah. That came as a shock to the regime, which portrays Soleimani as Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s adopted son.
"Of course, people across the political divide are concerned about war. Nobody wants President Trump to bomb Iran’s cultural or historical sites as he threatened in a tweet on Saturday. I myself denounced the tweet on Fox News on Sunday.
"But what to make of the crowds of flag-waving mourners streaming across TV screens? Without doubt, Soleimani had support among hard-liners and regime loyalists. The regime is not taking any chances, though. In the city of Ahvaz, where large numbers of people turned out to mourn Soleimani, the government has forced students and officials to attend. It provided free transport and ordered shops to shut down. According to videos sent to me by people inside the country, the authorities are making little kids write essays praising the fallen commander. First-graders who didn’t know how to write were encouraged to cry for Soleimani.
"Some Iranians have compared the funeral services for Soleimani to those held for the Nazi leader Reinhard Heydrich, the Butcher of Prague, killed by Allied agents during World War II." . . .
 Jan 4MoreSo funny
The body of in the funeral carried by a Chevrolet American car, the military guys around the car suited up an American uniform with an American M16 rifle , and the crowds shouting “Death for America”


. . . "I mean, the deep state IC. But this guy, the Revolutionary Guard that general Qassem Soleimani, his body is being flown back to Tehran in a cardboard box with his picture on it across three coach seats on an Iranian airline. The New York Post has the picture. He’s in a cardboard box. Of course there’s not much of him left, just his finger with the ring on it. That’s how he was identified. But still, and they’ve got his picture on the cardboard box. But he was a bad dude, folks." 
. . . 
"But if you let these people run things, there will never be any serious defense of Americans or American interests because they believe to do so is to escalate. I’ll give you an example, I’ll give you an analogy. The first Gulf War with Saddam to liberate Kuwait. George H. W. Bush was the president. I will never forget Sam Donaldson on ABC News warning Americans that the end was near, that we had no business conducting a desert war because we were not qualified, we didn’t know how to win, how to conduct a desert war. Saddam, that’s his lair, that’s his natural habitat. Saddam was gonna wipe us out.
"Sam Donaldson did a feature on the number of body bags that would be needed. The war was over in 18 hours with the vaunted desert rat army of Saddam Hussein surrendering and waving the white flag in a matter of six hours. And so these people haven’t changed. The U.S. is not able to win. All we’re doing is escalating. And the bad guys are far superior. And the bad guys are far smarter. And the bad guys are far more capable. And the bad guys are not gonna take this.
"We have destroyed a fundamental war-making element of the Iranian government by taking this guy out. You’re not gonna see it anywhere in the news, but Iran has been leveled in a sense here strategically with the assuming of room temperature of Qassem Soleimani." 
Or "Salmonella" as Rush often pronounces his name. 
Conservative Firing Line

The Trump Doctrine Humiliates Both Foreign Enemies and Domestic Liberals

Tony Branco
Townhall  "This has been a really difficult time for Ben Rhodes, John Kerry, and the rest of the geniuses who zombie Neville Chamberlain recently hailed as “a flock of insufferable sissies crowded around the behind of America’s enemy, shamelessly smooching their dignity away.” Zapping Qassam Soleimani ruined an Iranian offensive that had started with such promise. When the dirtbag catspaws of the dirtbag Iranian mullahs surrounded the American embassy in Baghdad, American liberals were more excited than the old Weekly Standard’s staff would have been upon discovering that it was sharing one of its cruises with a pool boy and sexy gardener convention. Libs and their Fredocon submissives were practically salivating at the thought of fellow Americans being murdered by scuzzy foreigners and the opportunity such a tragedy would present for blaming Donald Trump. This was Trump’s Benghazi test, they chortled on social media." . . .More

Ever wonder who the Democrats like more, our President or any Ayatollah?

Any way you look at it, we are here because Obama and Europe forgot or preferred to ignore that Iran is an apocalyptic messianic regime bent on exporting terrorism and Shi’itism to intimidate its enemies, and should never be allowed to develop or possess nuclear weapons. Giuliano Maciocci

"To be fair, I'm not a fan of presidents getting us into wars without a congressional vote, i.e. Korea, or the skinny Tonkin Gulf Resolution on Vietnam. I prefer what Bush 41 and Bush 43 did by putting the Congress on record.

Iran's miscalculation "It is hard to understand Iran Supreme Leader Khamenei’s blunder in attacking the US Embassy in Baghdad. He either believed Trump was weakened by his impeachment, as western liberal Media breathlessly and continuously reported, or he might have been misled by John Kerry’s (pictured, right) incompetent advice (apparently Kerry met again with Khamenei’s emissaries in Paris just few weeks ago). Whatever the reasons, his goal of triggering a limited war with America to rally his people around the regime has failed miserably." . . .  More
