An Iranian general declared today that Tehran was not afraid of war after Donald Trump threatened the country after the siege at the US embassy in Iraq...

'We are not leading the country to war, but we are not afraid of any war and we tell America to speak correctly with the Iranian nation.' Islamic Revolutionary Guards Commander, Brigadier General Hossein Salami warned. 'We have the power to break them several times over and are not worried.'

Trump had said in a tweet on Tuesday that Iran would be 'held fully responsible for lives lost, or damage incurred, at any of our facilities. They will pay a very BIG PRICE! This is not a Warning, it is a Threat.'

This one tickled my funny bone. On New Years Eve a serious fire broke out at the Avalon Resort lodge near Paw Paw, WV. The part I found funny was this line: "Volunteer firefighters from three states battled the blaze."

What could have brought so many volunteer firefighters out to fight a fire? Did I mention that the Avalon is a "clothing optional" resort, and that it was going to celebrate a "Happy Nude Year" party?

Can you imagine the discussion when a tired firefighter gets home? "Where've you been, honey?" "Fighting a fire over in West Virginia." "That's not even in this state. Where in West Virginia?" "The Avalon nudist resort." "You're sleeping on the sofa tonight!"

Treason! Secretary Pompeo: Former Obama Officials Are Telling Iran to Wait Out Trump — Then America Will Go Back to Appeasing Iran
Jim Hoft by Jim Hoft January 2, 2020 411 Comments

Barack Obama’s former Secretary of State, John Kerry was secretly meeting with Iranian officials to salvage Iran’s nuclear weapons program.

After the news broke last week, Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee called on G-men to arrest John Kerry for his treasonous acts.

Kerry was working against the Trump administration to salvage the Iranian nuclear deal.

In May of 2018 former Obama Secretary of State was seen dining with several Iranian regime officials.


Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Trump’s claim that John Kerry violated the Logan Act is “true.”

“It’s true. I mean I was there in Munich when I saw not only Kerry … the whole gang that crafted that terrible deal…they were there, they met with the Iranian leadership,” Pompeo said during an appearance on “Fox and Friends.”

“It’s unusual, but more importantly, it’s wrong,” said Pompeo.

On Thursday Secretary Pompeo accused the Obama officials of secretly telling Iran to wait out President Trump — then America will go back to appeasing.

Via FOX News:

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo accused members of the Obama administration of undermining President Trump’s maximum pressure campaign on Iran by telling the Iranians to “just hang on” until Trump loses in 2020.

“I’ll be straight up with you,” Pompeo says in an interview for the American Enterprise Institute’s national security podcast “What The Hell Is Going On?,” which I co-anchor with my colleague Dany Pletka, “you have folks who served in the previous administration who are telling the Iranian leaders today, ‘Just hang on. President Trump will lose in the election in November and we’ll go back to appeasement. America will write you a big check, we’ll underwrite your terror campaign around the world, we’ll give you a clear pathway to a nuclear weapon system. Just wait until the Trump administration is finished.’”

What if he tells them that we'll always be able to F with them as long as they don't have nukes as a deterrent? What if they come to that conclusion on their own?

Or, is the idea that if we F with them more and more, then supposedly they'll hit a tipping point where because of the terrible pain they'll be scared such that they'll conclude that it's best for them to maintain no nukes such that we are always able to massively F them when we want cause they got no nukes?

Although I'd like it if they did, I wouldn't bet that they'll see our increasingly harsh F-ing them, and then conclude that that's a balance they'd like to maintain forever by not having nukes.

I dunno.

Taking these questions in order: (1) I imagine so, yes. (2) Yes, but you don’t need to know what it is. The one with the slightly complex answer is (3) under long-established international law a country’s embassy is part of its sovereign territory. In launching an attack on the American embassy Iran and its Iraqi stooges technically committed an act of war on the US itself. Ben Rhodes should know this.

Also via Rantburg:

Major Iran protests erupted in November 2019 triggering the greatest existential crisis in the regime's 40-year history. Protesters took to the streets in at least 191 cities calling for regime change. The regime has resorted to brute repression, killing at least 1500 protesters and arresting thousands more. It also shut down Iran’s internet completely for a week, blocking images of the protests from reaching the outside world.

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE IRAN PROTESTS:
Number of restive cities: 191
Number of martyrs: At least 1500
Number of injured: More than 4,000
Number of detainees: More than 12,000

The protests began on November 15, 2019 over a three-fold rise in gasoline prices but in less than 24 hours, the chants became entirely political. Iranians are chanting “Death to Khamenei” and “Death to Rouhani” on the streets of Iran. They want regime change.

He was even immortalized in a 2017 epic animated film entitled “Battle for the Persian Gulf,” in which he takes center stage vanquishing the Americans in the imaginary conflict.

Yet one young Iranian dissident in the country told Fox News that, at least quietly, he is characterized as “a criminal,” but most are afraid to protest in the face of being arrested, maimed or killed.'

It means I didn't vote for him in 2016 and I won't vote for him in 2020. My point being that despite how I feel about the guy, the strike in this situation was justified. I place country over politics.

No you dont. What a pathetic self-serving lie.

If you are a nominal republican and decide you just cant vote for OrangeManBad then you are affirmatively supporting whomever the democrat candidate happens to be.

The choice is binary.

But hey, maybe you like the direction the dems are taking us in.

walter: "Drago,
Doesn't look like a proper Muslim send-off is possible.
Maybe a scholarship?"

Well, I am reluctant to speak directly to your point as it might upset Chris Lopes delicate nature and sense of decorum.

excellent chickelit 10:17 evil indeed

Also:
Trump is interfering in elections!

Drago म्हणाले...

Chris Lopes is no doubt hoping for another totally not corrupt at all Mueller investigation into this unprecedented action by Trump because its just not fair that Trump has delivered the most conservative governance in 100 years AND Trump keeps saying mean things about dems and beating them.

Why, its just not sporting old chaps! Not cricket wut wut! Harrumph!

I see three comments here, as well as news reports stating marines arrested...

That just bothers me. How about using Marines captured. Insurgents, terrorists, the ENEMY, aren't arrested in war zones by Marines or soldiers and given Miranda warnings, they're captured.

Chris supports the attempted coup.

You place politics over country.

If Qassem Soleimani is really dead, that's a bigger score for the US than either al-Baghdadi or bin Laden. He was more dangerous than both of them.

Two senior members of #Lebanon's #Hezbollah are reported to be the main targets of #USAF drone strike near #Baghdad International Airport tonight. They both had arrived from #Damascus via Cham Wings Flight No. 6Q501. One of them is reported to be Mohammad Al-Kothrani!

A PR guy was taken out, too.

What does that even mean in the context of how the dems literally Stasi-ized our federal government?

Yes, when we needed to vet Trump, we got witch hunts and warlock trials instead. Now, for better, or worse, he will return to office for four more years to prove his mettle. That said, while others have skimmed the surface, created waves, Trump has at least embarked into the pool, albeit wading in the shallow end. There is work to be done on the foreign end, more on the domestic end. Still, cautiously optimistic with a center-right trajectory. For now, he has restored a working relationship with Iraqis, and is clearing the clutter left by administrations past, not limited to Obama spied, Clinton colluded, Biden obstructed, etc.

Hillary Clinton appointed chancellor of Queen's University, Belfast

Huh?


Maybe they don't have extradition with the US? Doubt it, but more likely explanation than her academic acumen.

Marc in Eugene म्हणाले...

The chancellorship at British universities is in very great part a ceremonial position, an honor given to... why they chose Mrs Clinton for 'an honor' I have no idea. It involves, perhaps, an annual speech. The vice-chancellors are the UK equivalents of US university presidents.
