No! No! and No!

Obama’s last Secretary of State, John F. Kerry, has a bit of a horse face ... which is appropriate considering he is a horse’s nether end. During his sad tenure his appeasement and payoff of Iran, his humiliation of Israel, his fake pushback against ISIS, his coddling of Palestinian terrorists ... almost everything he did in the Obama Cabinet was wrong ... clodishy wrong.

As an example of his ineptness the above video displays how very wrongheaded he was about the possibility of Mideast peace without first achieving a Palestinian two-state solution with Israel.

Given what Trump has recently accomplished with the Abraham Accords, accomplishing peace between Israel, Bahrain and the UAE, one would think Mr. Ed would slink back to his stable ... his face a bright red for flubbing his “hard reality.”

STAND UP FOR AMERICA!

Cold Hard Reality

America’s 43rd president, George W. Bush was not quite the pragmatic realist that his dad, H.W. was. He squandered trillions of American dollars in a quixotic attempt to “fix” the Middle East (which I now abashedly confess, supported.) Although he was a patrician of relative honesty (for a politician), he was nonetheless frozen when dealing with the growing sub-prime mortgage crisis, the clearly burgeoning trading and military threat from China ... and unwilling to face head-on North Korea's nuclear insanity. 

He was pushed around by the deep state and main-stream media without serious complaint ... opening the door to Obama-inspired Socialism. But, by far, his crowning accomplishments were that he defeated those nincompoops Al Gore and John Kerry. For that we must be eternally grateful.

Talk About Liars

President Trump has been called a congenital liar. This claim seems to be raw politics since anybody listening to the Orangeman understands that he is fill of bluster ... but not a “keep your doctor” liar. So this blog post will try to determine how truthful Trump is when he says that Obama gave Iran $150 billion to sign the nuclear deal ... plus $1.8 billion in hard cash on pallets flown into Tehran in the dead of night.

Let’s get started by listening to Obama’s then Secretary of State John Kerry’s obfuscating take on this issue: John Kerry Bloviating. Wow! Nothing to see here folks ... everything was above board!

However, notice in that video that Kerry never specifically denied the $150 billion number. Rather he said that this agreement was saving the U.S. taxpayers money because we would not be paying all the accumulating interest on the assets we had frozen around the world ... $12 billion of which was frozen in 1979 after Iran had seized our embassy in Tehran and held our diplomats hostage for 444 days. Forty years of compound interest grows this $12 billion into quite a tidy sum ... plus other asset we froze around the world as a result of sanctions the Bush White House had placed on Iran because of its terrorist activities and nuclear ambitions. Bottom line: this $150 billion number appears close to being correct ... see: Truth to Fiction. AND any accumulated interest on the $12 billion should go to the American people for the embassy insult ... not paid by them!

Kerry makes another weasel claim in this video, OK it was a big number but Iran owed lots of countries lots of money, so they really only got part of this money. (The above hyperlink claims it was about $56 billion.) Hold on pilgrim ... if I have a mortgage on my house of $100K and $30k on a car loan ... and I win $200K in the lottery, does the state (ignoring tax implications) only give me $70K? Of course not! Kerry’s assertion is full of excrement.

And insofar as Obama handing Iran $1.8 billion in various cash currencies as ransom in exchange for American hostages, read the following: Fortune Magazine Article.

Now, kind reader, who is the liar after all?

Afterward: not on the money topic but important to ask about the Iran nuclear deal ... for what reason other than producing atomic bombs was (and is) Iran enriching uranium? This would be equivalent to our believing that Xi is building aircraft carriers to transport soybeans back to China.

Funny Coincidence

Kerry, Biden, Pelosi

From daily timewaster blog

Eye Opener

Suggestive Clues:

- It is reported that al-Baghdadi was released from an Iraqi prison in 2009 under the Obama administration

- Obama and his administration insisted on calling ISIS as ISIL ... suggesting that it was meant to have a wider reach

- Obama once called ISIL the “JV Team” trying to take the spotlight off of it

- Obama’s rules of engagement against ISIS meant that we could not bomb the oil trucks smuggling oil into Turkey from the Syrian oil fields ... which pelf was supporting other of its operations

- Obama’s precipitous pullout from Iraq left enormous amounts of US military equipment to be used by ISIS (remember all those pictures of our tanks in ISIS hands?)

- It took Trump two months to destroy the ISIS machine when Obama couldn’t do it in two years

- Continued rumors circulated that the Benghazi operation was the center of Hillary’s efforts to transfer Gadaffi’s arms to ISIS

OK, that is the setup ... now read the eye-opening revelation of why and how Obama, Hillary and John Kerry secretly had their thumb on the scale for ISIS. I know this is shocking ... it stunned me. But listen to Kerry and read his words on this matter HERE!

Funny how things are beginning to make some sense.

You Might Be a Socialist If ...

... You want people who are “unwilling” to work to get government subsidies

... You are going to have, um, a beer ...

... You believe that Kim hasn’t changed his behavior since the Trump summit

... You think polar bears are dying because ice floes are vanishing in the Arctic

... You want to release illegal alien criminals into our general population

... You champion late-term abortions and infanticide

... You think Iran is living up to the strictures of the Obama/Kerry nuclear pact

... You blindly support Mueller and his henchmen in their Trump-Russian witch-hunt

... You secretly are rooting for Venezuela’s Maduro

... You believe that anyone can illegally enter and reside in the U.S. if they want to

... You confuse slaves with indentured servants

... You believe that illegal aliens commit fewer crimes proportionately than native-born Americans

... You claim all Trump tax cuts have gone to companies and the wealthy

... You’re sure the world will end in 12 years unless we Americans eliminate all fossil fuels

... You believe that federal immigration laws should be defied

If you agreed with more than three of these goofy ideas you should give up your family and become an apostle of AOC or Bernie Sanders.
