Angry Iran threatens to expose Western officials who took bribes to make nuke deal happen

"As noted by Fox News panelist Charles Krauthammer at the time, “The most astonishing thing [about the deal] is that in return, they [Iran] are not closing a single nuclear facility. Their entire nuclear infrastructure is intact.' ”

BPR  "Shortly after President Donald Trump  withdrew the United States from the Iran nuclear deal last Tuesday, an adviser to a top Iranian ofcial retaliated by dropping a bombshell threat. 
"The threat concerned the president’s plan to reimpose sanctions on Iran:

"An adviser to H.J.Ansari Zarif, the deputy for parliamentary and Iranian affairs within Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, specically threatened to expose every corrupt ofcial who accepted bribes to make the Iran deal happen three years ago. 

“ 'If Europeans stop trading with Iran and don’t put pressure on US then we will reveal which western politicians and how much money they had received during nuclear negotiations to make #IranDeal happen,” he either said or wrote, according to Hassan Ghashghavi.

"The adviser’s tweet appears to suggest that some Western officials partook in “pay-to-play” schemes by accepting money to support and ultimately sign the deal. The accusation makes perfect sense given that there was no legitimate reason whatsoever to support the horrible one-sided deal pieced together in 2015 by then-President Barack Hussein Obama." . . .

Why Obama's Iran deal got Trumped  . . . "The German weekly Der Spiegel – whose politics echo the Social (i.e., Socialist) Democratic Party (SPD), much as Britain's Guardian and our New York Times act as propaganda auxiliaries of their nation's main leftist parties – declared a day later in an editorial that it is "time for Europe to join the Resistance" to President Trump's America.

" 'The West as we once knew it no longer exists," wrote Der Spiegel.  "Our relationship to the United States cannot currently be called a friendship and can hardly be referred to as a partnership." . . .

How Obama loyalists conspired to undermine the Trump transition  . . . "As the collusion avenues led to dead ends, Republican investigators for the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and the Senate Judiciary Committee traveled on a new lane. They discovered a number of behind-the-scenes moves that they said transformed a traditionally acrimony-free transition into a partisan transfer of presidential power." . . .

Trump Is Starting to Spook the Left  . . . "Referring to Trump’s experience dealing with the mobbed-up New York construction scene in his long real estate career, Brooks says:

And yet I can’t help but wonder if that kind of background has provided a decent education for dealing with the sort of hopped-up mobsters running parts of the world today. There is growing reason to believe that Donald Trump understands the thug mind a whole lot better than the people who attended our prestigious Foreign Service academies.

Science Proves the Inhumanity of the Abortionist

Mike Adams

"Willie Parker is a “Christian” who admits to having “probably” performed more than ten thousand abortions since 2005. A communist dictator might say that one murder is a tragedy while ten thousand is just a statistic. But how does a so-called Christian rationalize the serial murder of thousands of innocent human beings? One convenient way is by denying they are human in the first place. Here is Parker’s rationalization:

“Another so-called fact put forth by antis is that ‘life begins at conception’ – the justification for the ridiculous claim that abortion is murder. As a Christian and a scientist, I can authoritatively attest that life does not begin at conception. This notion that the union of the egg and sperm constitutes a new person at that moment reflects a religious belief – and a deeply held one. But the fact is, as Justice Blackmun so eloquently wrote way back in 1973, in the majority opinion in Roe v. Wade, there is no historical, philosophical, or even scientific consensus on when life begins.” P. 145. Life’s Work: A Moral Argument For Choice. There are at least three major problems embedded in that one statement. They are briefly dissected below:  . . .

North Korea will never fully give up nuclear weapons, top defector says ahead of Kim-Trump summit next month

UK Daily Mail

"North Korea will never completely give up its nuclear weapons, a top defector has said ahead of Kim Jong Un's summit with Donald Trump next month.

"Thae Yong-ho, who fled his post as the North's deputy ambassador to Britain in 2016, said the Korean leader will never commit to 'a sincere and complete disarmament'.

" 'In the end, North Korea will remain a nuclear power packaged as a non-nuclear state,' Thae told the South's Newsis news agency."

. . . 

"But Thae, one of the highest ranking officials to have defected in recent years, said: 'North Korea will argue that the process of nuclear disarmament will lead to the collapse of North Korea and oppose CVID.'

" 'The North wanted to ensure Kim's absolute power and its model of hereditary succession', he added." . . . Read more.

Sunday Schadenfreude: Kimmel surrenders . . . "In other words, he's guessed that anti-Trump jokes are a dud now and as a result, doesn't want to get into them so much, since it's less glory for him.

"Seems the bad ratings the Academy awards, the Emmys, the Grammys, theGolden Globes, all of which focused on hurling abuse at President Trump, didn't work out the way the self-indulgent air-kissing participants thought they would. They cost Hollywood a lot of money. Ratings hit all-time lows, with Variety warning in the case of the Emmys that the matter was worse than it looked. And the fact that they kept doing it over and over again, despite the beating they took in the ratings, was cause for the rest of us for bafflement.

"Kimmel, unlike many of them, apparently pays attention to the bottom line. He knows how bad these things have been for ratings and advertising dollars (emphasis mine) and how Hollywood has been deluding itself:" . . .

"Sigh."

Do they even know what fascism means?

From a comment to the above article in Althouse:

Charlie, meaning has nothing to do with this exercise of Trump bashing. It just reminds me of when in High School I wanted to be part of the in-crowd. But, the in-crowd, when I made it, became so passe', especially when another in-crowd became popular. Time will make all these anti-Trump commentators look foolish and then wonder why they wasted so much time on this Trump bashing. Does anyone remember the Reagan bashers - no!

Though Persecuted, Christians and Patriots Are Standing

Lloyd Marcus, The Unhyphenated American  "I praise God for Wyoming GOP county chair Vicki Kissack having the courage to share my article, "Christians Deceived by the LGBTQ Movement" on her Facebook page. Folks, my article is 100% factually correct; spoken in God's love.

"As might be expected, leftists at the Casper Star-Tribune, distorted the truths in my article to brand Mrs. Kissack a hater -- hoping that fearful Republicans will run away from her. Please pray that God gives this patriot sister courage to stand and will build a hedge of protection around her and her family. I claim this scripture for Kissack, "No weapon formed against you shall proper." Isaiah 54:17

"The immediate severe attack on Kissack for simply sharing my article confirms the bullying and intolerance of LGBTQ enforcers that I exposed.

"A few years ago, I was an executive of a conservative group. LGBTQ activists launched a media assault attempting to brand me and anyone associated with me as haters; to bully me into not writing obvious truths. My wonderful wife Mary and I realize that God is our financial source. I must freely spread God's truth. Therefore, I resigned from my position to protect friends and associates from LGBTQ enforcers. God is faithful.

"I told my 90-year-old preacher dad about the April 23rd international parents' Sex-Ed protest. Parents are outraged, unable to opt-out their children fromLGBTQ lessons which include asphyxiation, BDSM, gender-bending, anal sex, and rimming. Dad replied, "Rimming? I don't even know what that is." Ponder that, folks. LGBTQ bullies have successfully mandated that elementary school kids be taught a dangerous sexual perversion unknown to a 90-year-old." . . .

McCAIN UNHINGED: Called Wife C-Word, Mocked Chelsea Clinton’s Appearance, Threatened Grassley & Colleagues

True Pundit   Language advisory.

". . . Few in the media want to report the facts. Even McCain has refused to comment on his public relation disasters during his campaigns. The following is from a Rolling Stone profile on McCain from a reporte[r] embedded into his campaign.

"The revelations are beyond disturbing and eclipse any dirt the partisan media has dug up on President Trump. Good thing there was never a President McCain.'

During his 1992 campaign, at the end of a long day, McCain’s wife, Cindy, mussed his receding hair and needled him playfully that he was “getting a little thin up there.” McCain reportedly blew his top, cutting his wife down with the kind of language that had gotten him hauled into court as a high schooler: “At least I don’t plaster on the makeup like a trollop, you cunt.” Even though the incident was witnessed by three reporters, the McCain campaign denies it took place.

McCain’s frequently inappropriate humor has also led many to question his self-control. In 1998, the senator told a joke about President Clinton’s teenage daughter at a GOP fundraiser. “Why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly?” McCain asked. “Because her father is Janet Reno!”

Over the years, John McCain has demonstrated a streak of anger so nasty that even his former flacks make no effort to spin it away. “If I tried to convince you he does not have a temper, you should hang up on me and ridicule me in print,” says Dan Schnur, who served as McCain’s press man during the 2000 campaign. Even McCain admits to an “immature and unprofessional reaction to slights” that is “little changed from the reactions to such provocations I had as a schoolboy.”

McCain is sensitive about his physical appearance, especially his height. The candidate is only five-feet-nine, making him the shortest party nominee since Michael Dukakis. On the night he was elected senator in 1986, McCain exploded after discovering that the stage setup for his victory speech was too low; television viewers saw his head bobbing at the bottom of the screen, his chin frequently cropped from view. Enraged, McCain tracked down the young Republican who had set up the podium, prodding the volunteer in the chest while screaming that he was an “incompetent little shit.” Jon Hinz, the director of the Arizona GOP, separated the senator from the young man, promising to get him a milk crate to stand on for his next public appearance.

In the Senate — where, according to former GOP Sen. Bob Smith, McCain has “very few friends” — his volcanic temper has repeatedly led to explosive altercations with colleagues and constituents alike. In 1992, McCain got into a heated exchange with Sen. Chuck Grassley over the fate of missing American servicemen in Vietnam. “Are you calling me stupid?” Grassley demanded. “No, I’m calling you a fucking jerk!” yelled McCain. Sen. Bob Kerrey later told reporters that he feared McCain was “going to head-butt Grassley and drive the cartilage in his nose into his brain.” The two were separated before they came to blows. Several years later, during another debate over servicemen missing in action, an elderly mother of an MIA soldier rolled up to McCain in her wheelchair to speak to him about her son’s case. According to witnesses, McCain grew enraged, raising his hand as if to strike her before pushing her wheelchair away." . . .

Updated: God uses this American President to Fulfill Prophecies and Move Our Embassy to Jerusalem.

Apparently not so much the man but the time. TD

May 14, 1948 State of Israel proclaimed  "On May 14, 1948, in Tel Aviv, Jewish Agency Chairman David Ben-Gurion proclaims the State of Israel, establishing the first Jewish state in 2,000 years. In an afternoon ceremony at the Tel Aviv Art Museum, Ben-Gurion pronounced the words “We hereby proclaim the establishment of the Jewish state in Palestine, to be called Israel,” prompting applause and tears from the crowd gathered at the museum. Ben-Gurion became Israel’s first premier." . . .

Rabbi Aryeh Spero

"The U.S. embassy will move to Jerusalem, May, 14, 2018, 70 years after the founding of Israel, resurrected as the Jewish state, in May, 1948. Seventy years is a completed life time, as the Psalmist states: "The years of our life are seventy years". Seventy years in Jewish outlook is an historical time unit, representing a significant chapter in human history. Seventy years after the first Temple was burned by the Babylonian Nebuchadnezzar and the Jews were driven into Exile, the exile ended and many returned to Israel and rebuilt Jerusalem. Seventy years signifies completion and full circle."

"In but a few moments ancient prophecies will be fulfilled and veritable truths realized when the United States moves its embassy to Israel’s capital, Jerusalem. It will also be a day when we will remember the strength and courage of the man who made it happen: President Donald Trump.  

"Over the past decades the United States Congress was sincere when voting overwhelmingly to relocate our embassy from Tel Aviv, Israel’s largest city, to Jerusalem, Israel’s dedicated capital. It made sense; after all, every country in the world decides the location of its capital and embassies are located in those capitals.  It also was the right thing to do. Jerusalem has been the capital of Israel ever since King David 3,000 years ago consecrated Jerusalem as Judea's capital. Soon, he drafted the plans for The Holy Temple and almost immediately thereafter his son, Solomon, built the palaces and ancient temple on those lofty hills. Everyone knows this.

"As far back as Abraham, the hills of Jerusalem and Mt. Moriah specifically have played a pivotal role among the Hebrews in their ancient biblical land. For millennia Jewish hearts and prayers were directed toward a return to Zion, Zion being the synonym for Jerusalem itself. No other people or nation who temporarily traversed the land between the Mediterranean Sea and Jordan River has made Jerusalem a centerpiece of their theology, history, spiritual yearning, nor the zenith of their joy and celebration. No one but the Jewish people has cultivated it and made the land blossom and its cities flourish. Yet, until now the embassy move did not happen." . . .

How “Hatikvah” (The Hope) Became Israel’s National Anthem

"The surprising history of one of modern Judaism's most important songs."

Last year, this year, next year -- All the years in Jerusalem...rebuilt  . . . "And so it is only fitting that the day after the May 13, 2018 Jerusalem Day, on May 14, 2018 the United States admits reality and moves its embassy to Israel's capital, Jerusalem.  All over the world, embassies are in the country's capital; consulates are in the other important cities.  Israel is the only country in the world whose capital does not host embassies, and so President Donald J. Trump (R) is righting a great wrong while leading other countries to rectify their gross mistake." . . .

"Exodus is a 1960 epic film on the founding of the modern State of Israel. It was made by Alpha and Carlyle Productions and distributed by United Artists. Produced and directed by Otto Preminger, the film was based on the 1958 novel Exodus by Leon Uris. The screenplay was written by Dalton Trumbo. The film features an ensemble cast, and its celebrated soundtrack music was written by Ernest Gold.

"Often characterized as a "Zionist epic", the film has been identified by many commentators as having been enormously influential in stimulating Zionism and support for Israel in the United States. While Preminger's film softened the anti-British and anti-Arabsentiment of the novel, the film remains contentious for its depiction of the Arab–Israeli conflict." . . . 

California Bill Wants To Drop Washington/Lincoln’s Birthday And Replace It With Communist Holiday

The Assembly read the bill three times and refused to pass it by a 27-22 [!] vote on Thursday. But Santiago submitted a motion to reconsider it on the same day. Bill AB-3042 previously passed both the Assembly’s appropriations and education committees. Really? The vote was that close?

Daily Caller

"The California Assembly discussed Thursday a bill that would replace Abraham Lincoln or George Washington’s birthday with International Socialist Workers’ Day as a paid holiday.

"California Democrat Assemblyman Miguel Santiago introduced Bill AB-3042, which would allow schools to replace Washington Day and Lincoln Day with Presidents’ Day and install an “International Workers’ Day” — conventionally known as “May Day” — as a second holiday.

“ 'I’m aghast that a bill like this would be able to get through committee,” California Republican Assemblyman Matthew Harper said to the Assembly. “Are we in competition to be the laughing stock of the United States?' ” . . .

Obama supporters are positive that he, oops, I mean He would support this.

American Mideast Coalition for Democracy Supports Iranian Women Against Forced Hijab

AMCD  via Phyllis Chesler     "Washington DC: The American Mideast Coalition for Democracy has come out in support of the widespread protests led by Iranian women against being forced to wear the hijab or other veiling such as the chador, burqa or niqab.

“ 'Forced conformity is always cruel, but forcing women to veil is particularly malign due to the fact that it obscures a woman’s individuality, making her invisible as a person and thus enforcing the idea that women are lesser beings, undeserving of individuality and personal agency,” said AMCD Secretary Rebecca Bynum. “Our troops refer to veiled women in Afghanistan and Iraq as BMOs – black moving objects. I think that sentiment speaks for itself.”

“ 'Veiling acts as a sensory deprivation chamber,” says Dr. Phyllis Chesler, author of Islamic Gender Apartheid: Exposing a Veiled War Against Women, “millions of women have lived their entire lives having never felt the sun on their faces or the wind in their hair. A burqa is a moveable prison, and is not a courageous way of resisting alleged racism or historic colonialism as some assert.”

"Dr. Chesler continued, “Since hijab or head covering does not obscure identity or block the senses, I  do not oppose it—and yet, I am inspired by the women who are, globally, burning their hijab in solidarity with the Iranian women who are risking arrest and death in order to protest being forced to wear one. One can only hope that American feminists are paying attention.”

"AMCD stands proudly with the women of Iran.

"AMCD also calls on the Islamic Republic of Iran to release all Americans being held in prison. Robert Levinson has been held since March 9, 2007 and has not been heard from for many years and was not among the Americans released as part of the Iran Deal. Baquer Namazi, 81and in poor health, was briefly allowed to be hospitalized for tests recently, but was returned to prison afterward. His son, Siamek Namazi was imprisoned during a visit to Iran in the fall of 2015. Baquer traveled to Iran to visit his son and was also imprisoned. Both face charges of espionage."

Tell us again, why does the left continue to love Obama?

Fred Barnes at Weekly Standard wrote: The Wipeout of Obama’s Legacy
. . . "Decisions taken by the president alone are vulnerable to being erased by subsequent presidents. And that’s what happened to the pact with Iran. It wasn’t a treaty ratified by the Senate. Democrats used the filibuster to block even a nonbinding vote on it. Trump killed the deal with his signature. That was also all it took to quit the Paris accord on global warming.
"There were two factors behind Obama’s decision to shun a treaty, which requires a two-thirds vote in the Senate. Winning that lopsided a vote appeared to be impossible. On the other hand, Obama had a backup—Hillary Clinton. She was expected to win the presidency in 2016 and could be relied on to protect the nuclear agreement." . . .

A Trip Down Memory Lane: In 2015 the Obama Administration Said the Iran Deal Wasn’t Even a ‘Signed Document’ "On November 19, 2015, the State Department sent a letter to then-Representative Mike Pompeo that severely undercuts the notion that the Iran deal represents any form of binding American commitment. It turns out that the Obama administration not only acknowledged that the deal wasn’t a treaty (obvious enough), but it also admitted that it wasn’t “an executive agreement” or even a “signed document.” Here are the key paragraphs:. . . "

The Federalist: The Obama Legacy Deserves To Be Destroyed  . . . "None of this even breaches the unprecedented regulatory regime Obama built to circumvent the legislative branch. Even The New York Times characterized his governing as “bureaucratic bulldozing, rather than legislative transparency.' ”
But this writer warns us: . . . "That’s fine, too. It means that if Trump engages in similar legislative efforts through the executive office, his agenda will also be dismantled one day. That’s as it should be."

Noisy Room: Exposing And Dismantling Obama’s Legacy  "Matt Margolis, author of The Scandalous Presidency of Barack Obama, examines Obama’s ransom payment to Iran and other scandals. “We’re still paying the price for the eight years he was in office,” he says. “If we don’t fully understand what happened and what motivated him, and the impact of his policies and decisions, we’re going to be in for trouble.” Margolis believes the next generation should receive the truth about the damage that Obama did to the nation."  Video

Ron Hanforth creates a brilliant timeline that outlines Barack Obama’s nuclear deal with Iran. His timeline reminds us why every American should all be grateful to President Trump for his decision to withdraw from this horrible, one-sided deal.

A Moment of Hate During Ellen's Lovefest With Kamala Harris

MRC  "During an appearance on Ellen Thursday, host Ellen DeGeneres asked Senator Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) “if you had to be stuck in an elevator with either President Trump, Mike Pence, or Jeff Sessions, who would it be?” Harris did not pick any of the three, instead asking “does one of us have to come out alive?”

"Senator Harris has become a folk hero on the left since long before her election to the United States Senate last year. She prosecuted the Center for Medical Progress over their undercover videos showing officials at Planned Parenthood callously discussing the sale of aborted baby body parts during her tenure as California Attorney General. 

. . . 

Then the "Applause" sign lit up

"As the segment drew to a close, Ellen DeGeneres once again referred to Harris “as possibly your next President of the United States!” as the crowd cheered enthusiastically. The segment concluded with DeGeneres hugging Harris.

"For all the talk about how President Trump has divided the country, the statements by Senator Harris and Whedon make it perfectly clear that the left has absolutely no interest in uniting the country." . . . 

I'd say Harris hates Trump for the offensive things he says sometimes. She's much classier than that.
