Once again, Iran rejects Trump's nuclear terms

In a mere twenty-four hours since President Donald Trump issued his stark ultimatum to the Iranian regime, two weeks to bend to a nuclear deal or face consequences, the mullahs in Tehran have, with predictable truculence, spat in the face of diplomacy. 

The Iranian Foreign Minister, Araqchi, declared with the usual bombast, “Americans want to negotiate and have sent messages several times, but we clearly said that as long as this aggression doesn’t stop, there’s no place for talk of dialogue.” 

This isn't the language of statesmen but of petulant ideologues, clinging to their apocalyptic fantasies while the world watches, weary and wary.

On Thursday, Trump, ever the master of calculated ambiguity and showmanship, said, “Based on the fact that there's a substantial chance of negotiations that may or may not take place with Iran in the near future, I will make my decision whether or not to go within the next two weeks.” 

His message was clear: Iran’s nuclear ambitions, its relentless pursuit of enriched uranium and the specter of a nuclear arsenal, will not be tolerated. Trump’s resolve is unmistakable; he has drawn a line in the sand, and Tehran would be foolish to mistake his patience for weakness.

And the stakes couldn't be higher. 

As White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt warned, “Iran has all that it needs to achieve a nuclear weapon,” a chilling reality that threatens not only Israel but, in her words, “the United States and the entire world.” 

This isn't simple hyperbole; it is the grim arithmetic of a regime that has long married its theocratic zeal to weapons of catastrophic potential. Leavitt’s follow-up was equally unflinching: “The President is unafraid to use strength if necessary. Iran and the entire world should know, the United States military is the strongest and most lethal fighting force in the world, and we have capabilities that no other country on this planet possesses.” 

Here is the unapologetic clarity of American power, a reminder to Tehran that defiance carries a cost.

As the President departed the White House for Bedminster on Friday, bound for a weekend of reflection before the NATO Summit in Brussels, the world waits. Will Iran heed Trump's warning, or will it continue its reckless dance on the edge of calamity? 

As the kids say, the clock is ticking, and the mullahs would do well to remember that Trump’s deadlines are not mere rhetoric—they are the prelude to action.

BREAKING: Hamxs rejects hostage deal, Trump has something to say about that

President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu preparing for full takeover of Gaza by destroying Hamxs after the Islamist leadership in Gaza rejected the Saturday deadline of releasing the remaining Israeli hostages, both dead and alive. 

King Abdullah of Jordan is in Washington, D.C. and met with President Trump. Abdullah is being made to go along with Trump's plan and it appears he will. 

Israel's security cabinet had an emergency meeting this morning and after the meeting Netanyahu came out of the meeting agreeing with Trump. Thus, if Hamxs does not release all of the hostages, the ceasefire is over and Hamxs will be in the crosshairs.

Israel's IDF is on standby and has already moved much of its military equipment to the northern border of Gaza and the proverbial feces is about to hit the fan, it appears, should Hamxs do what Hamxs is known for, which is to renege on deals they had agreed to. 

Iran's IRGC, the sponsor of Hamxs, thinks it's a bluff and nothing is going to happen.

President Trump said that it's Israel's call but that if all of the hostages, "all of them, not in drips and drabs . . .  but all of them" must be returned or "let hell break out." He gives them until Saturday at 12 o'clock.

PM Netanyahu is standing with Hamzs and taunted them with the idea that he doesn't believe they will meet the high noon deadline.

Stay tuned.

Biden hears the invisible person calling as he gets up and leaves MSNBC interview while still going on

When softball interviews are too difficult for our alleged president to successfully pull off without looking and sounding like a patient on the Alzheimer floor of a nursing home, you know he's in trouble. But when you realize that the viewers who watched the clusterfrack take place in real time would still vote for this decrepit, brain addled man over any Republican for a second term, you know the country is in trouble.

Nicole Wallace, the MSNBC host of "Deadline" was finishing up her powderpuff, wiffle ball interview with Biden when he slowly stood up, got out of his seat, shook her hand, and wandered off stage.

Being the consummate professional that she tries to be, Wallace went for the save. "Mr. President, thank you," she said as he shook her hand.

In a clip, Biden can be seen walking off set behind Wallace as she then looks into the camera previewing her next segment. You can watch the clip here.

“Don’t go anywhere, it’s a very exciting day around here,” Wallace told the audience. “We’ll have reaction and analysis [without any annoying fact checking] to everything we just heard from the president.”

Biden, an old 80, had several other clusterfrack moments in the interview, including when he thought he was brilliantly quoting the U.S. Constitution when it was the Declaration of Independence [you know, the thing] that he was quoting when discussing the Supreme Court’s ruling that race-based college admissions are illegal.

"I'm coming, Honey"

“Its value system is different, and its respect for our institutions is different,” Biden said of the Supreme Court. “And in that sense, it’s not as embracing of all, what I think the con—the Constitution says, ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men and women are created equal, endowed by their creator.’ It’s the uniqueness of America – we’ve never fully lived up to it, we never walked away from it. And this court seems to say, ‘No, that’s not always the case.’ The idea that there’s no right of privacy in the Constitution, giving states power that we fought a war over in 1960 [sic]. You know, I just think it’s — this is not your father’s Republican Party.”

The quote that Biden said was from the Constitution is from the second paragraph in the Declaration of Independence.

But so what? You can't fault the Big Guy for every little mistake or you'd be viewed as a racist or something.

Is Don Lemon preemptively aborting his termination?

According to Fox News, "[T]he news--plus barbs from social media trolls and other critics--may be too much for CNN's Don Lemon to bear much longer."

The leftist reporter/host of fake news' "CNN Tonight" told a New York City audience that due to the current "toxicity" in society and blames on the Trump presidency [but which CNN and MSNBC help to create] he may leave television in 2020 when the next presidential election begins.

"I don't know if it's worth this level of toxicity," the slightly less stupid of the Lemon-Chris Cuomo duo said, according to the Daily Beast.

The anchor also spoke about the negative feedback he solicits after making repugnant anti-POTUS statements and often false accusations that gets retracted later, after his small audience has gone on to other things and never hears the retraction. [It's also interesting how the mistakes that CNN and liberal media never err on the side of Trump, but always against him.]

“I was doing a shoot in the park the other day and someone [about half his audience] shouted at me, ‘I’m sick of watching you. We built this country. I can’t wait for CNN to fire your black a--, you f----t,'” the Lemon recalled, after having done nothing to build the country and everything to tear it down.

“So, all of those sorts of people call you on the phone and say those things, or they write you. I don’t go on social media anymore, it’s so toxic, [like CNN]” he added.

Lemon went on to blame Trump and the current climate.

“I’m black and gay on cable television in prime time — a unicorn — and I’m a target of the right, a target of white extremists, neo-Nazis and of the president,” Lemon said, according to Deadline.

He added, “ I wonder how long I will continue to do this particular job,” the Daily Beast reported.

Hopefully, not much longer.

Lemon speculated he might be happier as a celebrity chef, or perhaps doing journalism “in a different way.”  Like actually reporting the news with an unbiased approach and keeping his leftist opinions to himself.

But it's quite possible that Lemon has read the writing on the wall and knows that he's almost out the door at CNN and wants to pre-emptively be the one to make the move before getting the boot. It's the one time the black, gay, leftist doesn't want to play the intersectional victim card.
