President Trump Seals off Iran in Obama's Wonderland

There were times during the Obama administration that completely mystified me. As an American, who believes in our creed, his eight year reign was an assault on common sense and decency. Everything was muddled or completely ass-backwards.

I could go on a tangent about this Alice in Wonderland era in American history; but instead, I’ll focus on one particular foreign policy issue that makes absolutely no sense, whatsoever, and that is Iran.

Iran is an implacable enemy. How do I know that? Because their regime declares it every Friday after prayers! Their buildings are covered in anti-American murals. Their leaders spew hate at every forum available, and they fund terrorist groups around the world. It’s not that difficult to understand, unless you’re a liberal.

So what kind of a moron gives an apocalyptic regime $150 billion, opens up the world’s market to them, while completely ignoring the advice of our allies in the region. Why, of course, the Obama administration and all the dunces in the State Department; that’s who.

The Iranian regime was on the cusp of prosperity without the benefit of peace. This regime couldn’t believe their fortune. Americans elected either a fool, or a traitor as president and he ended up populating our bureaucracies who are just as foolish and traitorous as he.

But luck ran out. A true American was elected president and he believes in our creed. President Donald Trump reversed this asinine policy and now the Iranian regime, along with their terrorist networks, are on the ropes. Here is an excerpt from Fox News:

Newly declassified intelligence shows that Palestinian terror group Hamas had to introduce “austerity plans” due to lack of funding from the Iranian regime.

State Department officials say the intelligence that was shared exclusively with Fox News reveals Tehran’s diminishing resources and influence within the region, prompting cutbacks among groups backed by the regime.

This comes amid a tough sanctions regime introduced by the U.S., which sent the country into a recession, with inflation topping 50 percent.

Due to lack of funding from Iran, Hamas had to introduce “austerity plans” while other Shia militia groups were told by Iran that they need to find other sources of revenue as Iran is no longer in a position to provide them the funds.

This coincided with Lebanon-based Hezbollah’s calls on social media to donate to piggy banks. The group apparently used even children to attract contributions.

Wow! Common sense shouldn’t be a surprise, but after eight years of Obama and his stupidity, one is shocked to learn we left Wonderland.

Obama Administration Financed Another Islamic Terrorist Organization

Democrats love the word treason whether by accusing others, or participating. Their hysteria is amusing. Since, when has it become treasonous for a president to meet a foreign leader? This new criteria seems to apply only to Donald Trump.

I think we should take a look at what could be considered acts of treason. Is it treason for a president to ignore the treaty clause of the Constitution while supplying plane loads of cash to an enemy that declares, “Death to America” every Friday after prayers? Is it an act of treason to have side deals with same regime without the consent of Congress? What about aiding and abetting a terrorist organization that funds its murderous activities by selling drugs in the United States? Would that be considered treason? Or what about the following:

A new report released on Wednesday revealed that the Obama administration knowingly provided an Islamic terrorist-financing organization with hundreds of thousands of dollars despite the fact that the group had been designated as a terrorist-financing organization for a decade by the U.S. government.

Obama officials approved the release of well over $100,000 even after they were informed that the Khartoum-based Islamic Relief Agency (ISRA) was affiliated with Osama bin Laden and Maktab al-Khidamat (MK), which eventually became al-Qaeda.

ISRA, also referred to as the Islamic African Relief Agency (IARA), received a $200,000 taxpayer-funded grant from the Obama administration, which released at least $115,000 to the terrorist-financing organization.

Should the above activities be considered acts of treason? Here is the definition of treason: The crime of betraying one's country, especially by attempting to kill or overthrow the sovereign or government.

These crimes are acts of betrayal, but do they meet the criteria of treason? Maybe not, but trying to overthrow a duly elected president by sabotage and sedition could. Just saying.

Obama Administration Lied to Congress About Iranian Money Laundering Scheme

The contempt the Obama administration had for Congress is unprecedented. Their contempt for our elected representatives will go down as an historical event. These people outright lied and did so with impunity. Here is what Senator Ted Cruz had to say about the latest Iranian nuclear deal scandal:


"The Obama Iran nuclear deal was a devil's bargain, but one exclusively designed to help the devil," Cruz said in a statement responding to Wednesday's report. "The Obama administration was even working in secret to circumvent the weaker sanctions left over from the nuclear deal - and they were lying to Congress about it."


"They subordinated American law and the U.S. financial system to the deal, hatching a scheme that would have put the U.S. dollar and U.S. banks to work moving money for the Iranians," he added, before calling for an investigation to "get to the bottom of whatever else the Obama administration sacrificed at the altar of the Iran deal."


Even that dirtbag, Ben Rhodes, is having a difficult time defending this crap.

U.S. State Department Flounders in Utopian Dystopia

One of the basic tenets of the progressive movement is dependence on an administrative state filled with experts knowledgeable in their respective fields.  However, one must consider the end product.  Here is a gem that typifies the genius of Washington D.C.:

Officials in the Trump administration's State Department are standing by a recent report criticized by Congress that blamed Israel for terror attacks and claimed Palestinians rarely incite violence, telling the Washington Free Beacon that it remains unclear why terrorists engage in violent acts.

Rep. Peter Roskam (R., Ill.), co-chair of the House Republican Israel Caucus, criticized the State Department Thursday for releasing a report portraying Israel as the culprit in terrorism and downplaying Palestinian incitement of violent acts against the Jewish state, the Free Beacon first reported.

Now, we know President Trump is a strong supporter of Israel and a harsh critic of the Palestinians, so why is his State Department contradicting his positions?  Could it be that we have rogue agents deeply embedded within this agency?  Do we have a Deep State that believes elections are inconsequential?

I began to question the so-called intelligence of these governmental agencies and in particular the U.S. State Department especially when Russia invaded the Crimean Peninsula.  A number of years ago, I read Samuel P. Huntington’s, The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order.  This man predicted the outcome years before it happened.  Did anyone in the State Department see this coming?  If they did, it was a closely guarded secret because Russia has control over Eastern Ukraine as we speak.

How about the Clinton administration’s slavish acquiescence to North Korea?  Here he is reassuring Americans of a nuclear free North Korea:

"Before I take your questions, I'd like to say just a word about the framework with North Korea that Ambassador Gallucci signed this morning. This is a good deal for the United States," Clinton said at the press conference.

"North Korea will freeze and then dismantle its nuclear program. South Korea and our other allies will be better protected. The entire world will be safer as we slow the spread of nuclear weapons.

"South Korea, with support from Japan and other nations, will bear most of the cost of providing North Korea with fuel to make up for the nuclear energy it is losing, and they will pay for an alternative power system for North Korea that will allow them to produce electricity while making it much harder for them to produce nuclear weapons.

"The United States and international inspectors will carefully monitor North Korea to make sure it keeps its commitments. Only as it does so will North Korea fully join the community of nations."

 

That sounds a lot like the Obama administration’s Iranian nuclear deal?  Apparently, these people are incapable of  learning from their mistakes.  I wonder if China will sell them the missile technology that Clinton traded for campaign donations?  Why not?  How do you think the North Koreans are getting theirs?

Stupidity isn’t partisan.  When President George W. Bush invaded Afghanistan he had hundreds of years of history to consult and didn’t.  I recently watched a documentary about Afghanistan and was dumbstruck at how all these experts in Washington D.C. completely ignored the lessons of the British empire’s forays into that god forsaken hellhole.

Anyone who has confidence in Washington’s D.C.’s expertise hasn’t been paying attention.

Obama's Iranian Agents Take Out Michael Flynn

Was national security advisor Michael Flynn targeted for political assassination, and if so, why?  We’re finding out all Rhodes leads to the Obama administration.  Here is an excerpt from the Free Beacon:

The Free Beacon first reported in January that, until its final days in office, the Obama administration hosted several pro-Iran voices who were critical in helping to mislead the American public about the terms of the nuclear agreement. This included a former Iranian government official and the head of the National Iranian American Council, or NIAC, which has been accused of serving as Iran's mouthpiece in Washington, D.C.

Since then, top members of the Obama administration's national security team have launched a communications infrastructure after they left the White House, and have told reporters they are using that infrastructure to undermine Trump's foreign policy.

"It's actually Ben Rhodes, NIAC, and the Iranian mullahs who are celebrating today," said one veteran foreign policy insider who is close to Flynn and the White House. "They know that the number one target is Iran … [and] they all knew their little sacred agreement with Iran was going to go off the books. So they got rid of Flynn before any of the [secret] agreements even surfaced."

Flynn had been preparing to publicize many of the details about the nuclear deal that had been intentionally hidden by the Obama administration as part of its effort to garner support for the deal, these sources said.

I wonder if Valerie Jarrett is involved in this as well.  She is the one with close Iranian ties.  This is some nefarious crap.

Iran Forgoes Kidnapping and Ransoming Americans Over Terrorists Ban

Good news!  Iran just banned American citizens from entering their Islamic hellhole of a country.  Now we don’t have to worry about these morons getting kidnapped and being held for ransom.  President Trump is a genius.

Iran said on Saturday it would stop U.S. citizens entering the country in retaliation to Washington's visa ban against Tehran and six other majority-Muslim countries announced by new U.S. President Donald Trump.

"While respecting the American people and distinguishing between them and the hostile policies of the U.S. government, Iran will implement the principle of reciprocity until the offensive U.S. limitations against Iranian nationals are lifted," a Foreign Ministry statement said.

"The restrictions against travel by Muslims to America... are an open affront against the Muslim world and the Iranian nation in particular and will be known as a great gift to extremists," said the statement, carried by state media.

The great gift to extremists was the $150 billion the Obama administration gave to Iran.  That was an affront to the citizens of the United States and our allies.

Obama Admin. Finances Iranian Jihad

If the United States were to fall into ruin, it would be from the rot within.  Well, we have plenty of rot within the federal government.  I will go so far as to say our national security has been hollowed out by the pest in our State Department and its queen in mom pants, Barack Hussein Obama.

The Washington Free Beacon has revealed a bunch of traitors has circumvented the law by laundering money to the murderous regime of Iran.  Basically, this president and his legion of Benedict Arnolds are financing the jihad.

A member of the House Intelligence Committee is accusing the Obama administration of laundering some $1.7 billion in U.S. taxpayer dollars to Iran through a complicated network that included the New York Federal Reserve and several European banks, according to conversations with sources and new information obtained by the lawmaker and viewed by the Washington Free Beacon.

New disclosures made by the Treasury Department to Rep. Mike Pompeo (R., Kan.), a House Intelligence Committee member, show that an initial $400 million cash payment to Iran was wired to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (FRBNY) and then converted from U.S. dollars into Swiss francs and moved to an account at the Swiss National Bank, according to a copy of communication obtained exclusively by the Free Beacon.

We obviously need to clean out the State Department.  If Trump wins, he needs to investigate and prosecute everyone who is involved with this outrage.

Reagan's Iran-Contra vs. Obama's Iranian Ransom Deal

A couple of weeks ago, PBS ran a documentary on the life of Ronald Reagan.  When the Iran-Contra Affair segment came on, it was almost shocking to be reminded at how brutal the media were in pursuing the president in a manner unseen during both Clinton and the Obama administrations.  Here is an excerpt from U.S. History.com describing this scandal.

The transactions that took place in the Iran-Contra scandal were contrary to the legislation of the Democratic-dominated Congress and contrary to official Reagan administration policy.

Part of the deal was that, in July 1985, the United States would send 508 American-made TOW anti-tank missiles from Israel to Iran for the safe exchange of a hostage, the Reverend Benjamin Weir.

After that successful transfer, the Israelis offered to ship 500 HAWK surface-to-air missiles to Iran in November 1985, in exchange for the release of all remaining American hostages being held in Lebanon. Eventually the arms were sold with proceeds going to the contras, and the hostages were released.

Contrast that with Obama’s Iranian hostage deal.  The press is practically apologetic.  Sure, we have a couple of outlets that have shone some light on what is obviously a ransom payment to a terrorist regime, but nothing like the treatment Ronald Reagan got.

Stars and Stripes published an article stating Obama’s Iranian ransom deal as unprecedented in American history.  Here is an excerpt:

The money was sent to Iran on Jan. 17, the same day Iran agreed to release the prisoners. The Obama administration claimed for months the events were separate, but recently acknowledged the cash was used as leverage until the Americans were allowed to leave Iran. Only then, did the U.S. allow a plane with euros, Swiss francs and other foreign currency loaded on pallets to take off in the other direction for Tehran.

"There's actually not anything particularly unusual about the mechanism for this transaction," White House press secretary Josh Earnest said this week of the initial cash payment.

But diplomatic historians and lawyers with expertise in international arbitration struggled to find any similar examples.

Asked to recall a similar payment of the U.S. using cash or hard money to settle an international dispute, the office of the State Department historian couldn't provide an example.

Man, those crickets are loud.

And Today's Jihadi Jackpot Winner Is...

PM Benjamin Netanyahu Shames U.N.

Israel is alone.  Barack Obama, our president, has turned his back on our ally.  Prime Minister Netanyahu has every right to shame the U.N. and its league of anti-Semites for their part in enabling Iran in their quest for a nuclear weapon.  Unfortunately, America’s representatives didn’t bother to attend his speech.

Russia, China and Iran Open Syrian Base of Operations

The Obama administration has decided to exit the world stage and let our ideological enemies and competitors fill the vacuum that our president has created.  China, Iran and Russia have filled the void and are now in the Mediterranean forming a base of operations in Syria.  Breitbart.com reported the following:

Earlier this week, Chinese naval vessels have allegedly traveled through Egypt’s Suez Canal and entered the Mediterranean Sea. According to a senior officer in the Syrian Arab Army, and confirmed by a Russian Senator (in the propaganda outlet Pravda), the naval vessels are headed for Syria’s Port of Tartus, and that “China has joined [Russia’s] military operation in Syria.” The reports indicate that the Chinese vessels will reach Tartus within six weeks. No explanation is given in these reports for the long time frame.

I wonder what Israel is thinking.  They have to believe the U.S. has abandoned them.  I guess we can add them to the list of American allies betrayed by the Obama administration.

Europe's Three Stooges Defend Iranian Deal

Europe’s three stooges wrote an op-ed supporting the much maligned Iranian nuclear deal.  Cameron, Hollande and Merkel believe this deal would put a stop to Iran’s nuclear weapons ambition.  Here is an excerpt from the Washington Post:

We fully support this agreement because it achieves the goals we had set ourselves. It deals with the uranium enrichment route to a bomb by requiring Iran to reduce by 98 percent its stockpile of enriched uranium; to lower by two-thirds the number of its centrifuges; to limit uranium enrichment levels; and to stop using the deep Fordow site for enrichment. It closes the plutonium route through changes to the Arak reactor so that it does not produce weapons-grade plutonium. And it ensures the IAEA enhanced access not only to Iran’s nuclear facilities and the entire nuclear fuel cycle but also, where needed, to any undeclared site.

Isn’t it funny these fools didn’t mention the IAEA’s side deal?  The same deal that allows Iran to monitor and report on their own nuclear facilities without verification from a disinterested, independent entity.

And what will happen if the Iranians violate the terms of this agreement?

In return, Iran will get phased relief from nuclear-related sanctions — but only as it meets its own commitments in concrete ways, verified by the IAEA. And we have all agreed on provisions for the return of sanctions if Iran were to substantially breach the agreement.

This is not an agreement based on trust or on any assumption about how Iran may look in 10 or 15 years. It is based on detailed, tightly written controls that are verifiable and long-lasting. Iran will have strong incentives not to cheat: The near certainty of getting caught and the consequences that would follow would make this a losing option

First of all, this agreement is based on trust where trust isn’t warranted.  Once sanctions are lifted, it will be nearly impossible to reinstate them once western companies and GSE’s have established business relationships and contractual obligations within Iran.  Who do these people think they’re kidding?

Mind you, these are the very same “leaders” who’re allowing their countries to be invaded by Muslims.  They’re betraying their own people.  Why would anyone trust these European fools?

DNC Chairwoman Has a Sophie's Choice Moment

DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz had a Sophie’s Choice moment.  What does she sacrifice?  President Barack Obama’s idiotic Iranian nuclear “executive agreement” or the future of Israel and American lives.  She chose the Democratic Party over her own people.

Holding back tears, Wasserman Schultz said that in her op-ed, she talks about her "Jewish heart and how important this [decision] was to me ... as a Jewish mother."

"In weighing everything, all the information, I've concluded the best thing to do is vote in support of the Iran deal and put Iran years away from being a nuclear state," she said. The Obama administration secured enough votes this week to ensure the deal will survive efforts to kill it.

Once again, Americans witness the Jewish conundrum of overt support for progressive ideology over basic self-interest.  Books, symposiums and countless articles have tried to solve the Rubik’s Cube of the American Jews counterintuitive support for socialism and/or communism and the evils therein.  After all, how many times have they, as a people, suffered at the hands of these two ideologies? 

 National Review published an article on this very topic.  Here is an excerpt:

In my opinion, Jewish attraction to liberalism flows in part from a basic survival instinct that over time evolved into an emotional yearning. Jews, since the ghetto walls began to crumble during the Age of Reason, estimated that survival would be contingent upon acceptance among the broader populace. For the better part of the past two centuries, acceptance, particularly in Western Europe, was thought to have been subject, first and foremost, to the abandonment of some, if not all, aspects of Jewish identity. Depending upon time and place, the abandonment of Jewish identity — and the Torah as a heavenly document — ranged from modest acculturation to total assimilation. This strategy was, overall, an unmitigated disaster. Take the micro cases of Karl Marx and Alfred Dreyfus and the macro cases of the Soviet Union and the Weimar Republic.

 In America, Jews decided that if fully erasing Jewish identity was still not enough to eliminate anti-Semitism, it was time for a novel approach. During the civil-rights era and the rise of identity politics, Jews bet on progressivism, figuring that by loving everyone else, they would cause everyone else to love them forever in return. (Or at least, if times ever got truly hairy again, they would have adequate allies to rush to their defense.)

 This approach too necessitated deserting faith in the Torah as divine. For if one believes that the Torah is divine (i.e., not created by man) and that failure to observe its teachings involves eternal repercussions, then one cannot easily support gay marriage or abortion. These are just two examples that show that to unwaveringly stand for the Torah is to inescapably stand against, oppose, and — God forbid — offend others. For Jews who have thirsted to be applauded as “open-minded,” “tolerant,” and “cosmopolitan,” liberalism, to a degree, had to replace Judaism as religion. There is no way to be fully in tune with popular culture and, at the same time, to believe that the Torah is directly, word for word, from the Lord of Hosts.

 Did Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz really have a choice?  I’m sure she and George Soros have a lot to talk about.

Charlie Daniels Calls out Congress

To say we have a pissed off citizenry is an understatement.  The Potomac potlickers are constantly scheming to circumvent the Constitution.  The Iranian “executive agreement” is another example of both parties circumventing the process knowing full well the end result while looking askance at the citizenry, hoping we’ll fall for their kabuki theater.

Well, they’re not fooling anyone.  Here is an excerpt from Charlie Daniel’s open letter to Congress. 

Well, ladies and gentlemen of the United States Congress, it seems that that particular pen has run out of ink. The courageous politicians that once championed this nation have been replaced, for the most part, by a breed of milksop, politically correct, scared of their own shadow, pushover, pathetic excuses for public servants who are supposed to be representing a constituency of citizens who have to live with the circumstances of their timid folly.

You don't even have the courage to face down an out of control president, even when he makes a deal with the devil. Don't you bunch of timid capons even care what kind of world you're leaving to your children and grandchildren, not to even mention the rest of us? Are you really party partisans before you're parents and grandparents or even human beings?

Be honest with yourselves a minute, go into the bathroom and look in the mirror and ask the person you see this question.

"Do I really believe that Iran will not use the money we're releasing to them to finance terrorists to kill Americans, and, when, not if, but when, the Iranians develop their nuclear device, will they really use it against America and Israel?"

Had it not been for the Corker bill, this treaty masquerading as an executive agreement wouldn’t have passed the constitutional process.  And Congress knew that.

U.S. Chamber of Commerce Has No Allegiance to United States

Two decades ago, Ralph Nader wrote to one hundred American companies asking them to pledge allegiance to the United States before every stockholder meeting, since all of them accepted federal government subsidies and tax breaks.  Only one company responded favorably.  All others dismissed or jeered at his request.

Business interests see themselves as transnationalist.  They have no allegiance to the United States.  The U.S. Chamber of Commerce exemplifies this ideology.  They have a history of siding with our enemies.  Some would say they’re in league with countries that wish to do us harm.  An Iranian news agency reported the Chamber and several other business groups were secretly conspiring to undermine U.S. policy by torpedoing economic sanctions.  The U.S. Chamber denied these allegations of course.  However, the end result is working out in their favor.

We must ask ourselves, why is it that republican senators would pass a law that would circumvent the treaty processes in the U.S. Constitution?  Who in their right mind would allow Barack Obama a free hand in negotiating with our enemies by giving him the authority to veto the Senate’s rejection of his so-called “executive agreement” with Iran?  We don’t have to look any farther than the U.S Chamber of Commerce.

We can also surmise that the U.S. Chamber of Commerce is behind Barack Obama’s reestablishment of diplomatic relations with Cuba, and eventual lifting of the trade embargo .  Here is an excerpt from one of their press releases:

Over the past 30 years, some sanctions legislation has imposed restrictions on commercial activity in an extraterritorial fashion that incites economic, diplomatic, and legal conflicts with our allies. In the past, U.S. laws imposing restrictions on the activities of European subsidiaries of U.S. multinationals have met with intense resistance from European governments. While the United States eventually lifted the restrictions, the damage to its foreign policy goals had been done. 

Not only do such moves undermine efforts to build a consensus for multilateral action, they make the United States more vulnerable to international commercial complaints. They can also damage U.S. leadership by greatly expanding the universe of entities subject to countersanctions to include insurers, creditors, and foreign subsidiaries.

There is no better example of the ineffectiveness of U.S. unilateral sanctions than Washington's policy toward Cuba. Implemented in October 1960 to pressure Fidel Castro to democratize, the Cuban embargo arguably has helped prop up the current regime. No one seriously argues that the Cuban dictatorship could have withstood five decades of free trade, free markets, and free enterprise, powered by its own entrepreneurial citizens.

While the current isolation of Cuba has far outlasted its original purpose, U.S. policies impose real costs. A March 2010 study by Texas A&M University indicates that easing restrictions on agricultural exports and lifting the travel ban could result in up to $365 million in additional sales of U.S. goods and create 6,000 new jobs in the United States. 

A comprehensive review of U.S. unilateral economic sanctions is overdue. From the five-decade old embargo on Cuba to proposals for extraterritorial sanctions on other countries, unilateral sanctions bring a host of unintended and unhelpful consequences. It's time to put an end to these damaging policies.

 Of course, we’re expected to believe Cuba will unleash their entrepreneurial spirit with this wave of U.S. commerce when in reality only the Castro regime will profit off of this infusion of cash.  We can also expect the U.S. Chamber of Commerce to pick the pockets of taxpayers to fund their dictatorial ventures.

Obama Administration Signs Islamic Compliant Treaty With Iran

Barack Obama and his dupes in the State Department signed an Islamic compliant treaty with Iran.  Our “president” was educated in an Indonesian Muslim school.  He had to know Muhammad’s protocols in defeating infidels.  The first is to buy time to gather strength and weaponize by signing a treaty.  The second is to negotiate an ability to break this treaty on a flimsy excuse.  This escape clause was accomplished with the inclusion of paragraph 36.

The American Thinker has an article basically accusing President Barack Hussein Obama of treason.  Here is an excerpt:

That is a hudna. A dishonest ten-year truce, made only to buy time, and broken at the first available opportunity.

And what kind of treaty has Obama signed with Iran?  A ten year treaty, which gives the Iranians time to get a nuke, and which has escape clauses allowing the treaty to be broken at the Iranians’ convenience, over minor issues.

Iranian and American officials ended a round of high-level nuclear talks here on Monday considering a proposal that would strictly limit, for at least 10 years ... New York Times.

Muslims, using the example of their prophet, feel morally obliged to limit any treaty with the infidel to 10 years. Since jihad is an article of faith, no treaty exceeding the 10-year limit set by the illiterate prophet can be made. How amazing that the State Department obliged them.

In the past, Hamas had offered to sign peace deals with Israel for ten years -- but not longer. The Israelis, many of whom can read Arabic, know the line of camel dung being offered, and refuse to accept.

Is Secretary of State John F. Kerry a Moron?

Donald Trump openly pondered what many of us are questioning.  Is John Kerry a moron?

Among the comments Donald Trump had in his interview with Greta Van Susteren was one where he was asked to offer a reason why Obama and Kerry allowed a 24 day grace period before inspections of nuclear sites and why they like the recently signed Iranian nuclear empowerment agreement.

He replied, “I don’t know, maybe they’re not bright. I mean, I’ve watched Kerry negotiating and I’ve said to people, ‘Is he bright? Is he an intelligent man?’ Maybe they’re not bright, there’s something wrong with them.”

Yes there is something wrong with them.  A congressman asked Secretary Kerry if he thought Iran wanted to destroy the United States.  After all, it is custom for the mullahs to lead a chant of ‘Death to America” every Friday after prayers.

  

The question, posed by Congressman Lloyd “Ted” Poe (R-Texas) was a reference to the many times the leaders of the Iranian regime have threatened to annihilate the United States.

In response, Kerry said, “I don’t believe they’ve said that. I think they’ve said ‘Death to America,’ in their chants, but I have not seen this specific.”

Poe countered, “Well, I kind of take that to mean that they want us dead. That would seem like that would be their policy. He said that. You don’t think that’s their policy? I’m not mincing words. Do you think it’s their policy to destroy us?”

“I think they have a policy of opposition to us and a great enmity, but I have no specific knowledge of a plan by Iran to actually destroy us,” Kerry answered.

He has no specific plan that Iran wants to destroy us?  How about this administration aiding and abetting Iran’s nuclear ambitions while they develop a delivery system? 

Donald Trump is right.  These people aren’t very bright.  There is something wrong them.
