Is Schiff a spy, a liar, or a jerk: 3 things can be true at once

Former Trump administration high-ranking official, Mike Pompeo, accused Rep. Adam Schiff [aka Schiffhead] (D-CA) of leaking classified information during his time on the House Intelligence Committee, where he and the other members are sworn to keep all classified information to themselves, which they don't.

The allegations come after Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) blocked the bug-eyed congressman's appointment to remain on the House Intelligence Committee, where he was its chairman the last four years and repeatedly made claims about information he alleged to have about former President Donald Trump and Russian collusion. Of course, all of this turned out to be a lie but Schiff remained as chairman and nothing was done to stop him from helping the Democrats steal the presidential election.

“During my time as CIA director and secretary of state, I know that he [Schiffhead] leaked classified information that had been provided to him,” Pompeo told Fox News on Wednesday.

Pompeo did not offer specifics, but he insisted the problem was bad enough to restrict what he shared with Congress.

He also appeared on Fox News' "Outnumbered" and was asked by co-host Emily Compagno why Schiff has not been held accountable if such leaks would be "a felony at minimum, up to treason."

“It’s a complicated process, right? It’s difficult to pin down precisely what happened,” Pompeo said. “But I could tell you that when we provided information to him and to his staff, it ended up in places it shouldn’t have been with alarming regularity. We could see it. In the end, I decided, I held back information from them as a result.”

That's what a trial for treason could sort out but it never came to that because people in power tend to get away with most anything, perhaps even murder (see Hillary Rodham Clinton for more on the subject).

Schiff denied leaking classified information, of course, because if he admitted to it, he'd be in big trouble. He unconvincingly told the Communist News Network in 2020, “I haven’t. My staff hasn’t,” but also added, “I can’t speak for what all the members of the committee have done or not done, including a lot of the Republican members.”

Others in the intelligence community have also pointed out that Schiff had leaked classified information to the public and therefore enemies of the United States. Former acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell said the Schiff and his cronies “regularly” leaked classified information.

Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) suggested to conservative commentator Lisa Boothe in April 2021 that Schiff could be a source for dubious reports on Russia offering bounties to Afghan militants to kill U.S. troops. Schiff spokesman Patrick Boland shot back with a brief response to the Washington Examiner at the time, “Yet another false and baseless claim by Tom Cotton — you would think he would know better by now.”

Meanwhile, on Tuesday, Speaker McCarthy kicked the Schiff off the House Intelligence Committee, along with Rep. Eric [aka Gasman] Swalwell (D-CA), the latter who was discovered to be banging Fang Fang a Chinese spy. McCarthy called Schiff a serial liar, especially in regard to investigations related to Donald Trump, and Pompeo praised the Speaker for removing Schiff from the committee.

Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) nominated Schiff to the committee over the weekend, calling him “eminently qualified.” After he was blocked, Schiffhead responded by claiming McCarthy’s move was “petty, political payback for investigating Donald Trump,” and that he had inside information that would take down the entire GOP, Donald and Melania Trump, Russia, Tucker Carlson, Hannity, Ben Shapiro, and the Rockettes.

Randi Weigarten's 'alternative facts' and her pandemic actions that hurt our kids

Former U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo had labeled Randi Weingarten "the most dangerous person in America." Weingarten is the head of the American Federation of Teachers" and was instrumental in preventing children from getting an education during the COVID-19 pandemic. In response to Pompeo's words, Weingarten came up with her alternative facts.

“Our teachers give their all for their students, showing up every day for their kids, partnering with parents and helping the next generation fulfill their dreams,” she claimed.

Her statement wasn't even true before China release the hounds of COVID upon the world. Of course there are many wonderful teachers but the fact is, every year we see clear testing evidence showing the  public school system fails the most vulnerable kids again and again. [H/T NY Post]

In New York City 43% of high school graduates were assessed college-unready by the state in 2019. 

When COVID hit, Weingarten and her esteemed cowards demanded pointless school closures to ensure the safety of teachers, not the children because they were not dying from the China virus. This went on for two years in public schools, whereas the Catholic schools, which called for in-person learning, the kids did not fail, as assessed by the National Assessment of Educational Progress issued earlier this year.

Reading scores plummeted during the pandemic, the most drop among nine-year-olds since 1990, with an even worse drop in math--the first-ever such drop.

Other data analysis showed that the worst losses were among black and Hispanic kids. But at least the teachers got paid for staying home and not showing up for their kids.

Weingarten claims how important literacy is for children but did nothing to show she meant it. Roughly one third of the youngest school children are failing to reach reading benchmarks. 

She claims to be "doing the serious work of helping our nation's kids, families and communities recover and thrive." But when asked about lost school time she dismisses it with “kids are resilient.” 

So screw them--they'll do just fine; they can fend for themselves. Pass me that mask, Doris.

It's one thing to head a union and advocate for your members. But when the advocating comes at the cost of serving the children, you are indeed, the most dangerous person in America.

Houthis terrorize Saudi civilians after Biden removes their terrorist designation

"With all due respect, the fact is, we had four dead Americans! Was it because of a protest or was it because of guys out for a walk one night who decided they'd go kill some Americans? What difference at this point does it make? It is our job to figure out what happened and do everything we can to prevent it from ever happening again." – Clinton shouting over Wisconsin Republican Sen. Ron Johnson regarding the Benghazi cluster-frack

The Biden administration announced it would reverse the Trump administration’s designation of the Houthis as a terrorist organization on Friday. The designation was made by outgoing Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on his last day in office.

The Biden State Department said Friday that “[O]ur action is due entirely to the humanitarian consequences of this last-minute designation from the prior administration, which the United Nations and humanitarian organizations have since made clear would accelerate the world’s worst humanitarian crisis.” However, they stressed that the declassification shouldn't be interpreted to mean that they were condoning the "reprehensible conduct" of the terrorist group, which is no longer to be considered as such even though they commit terrorism like Joe Biden commits verbal screwups and other errors in thinking.

So on Sunday, Biden's State Department thought it was a bad look that the Houthis were acting like terrorists by launching terrorist attacks after the Saudi-led military coalition stopped a Houthi terrorist drone strike against civilians, which are often composed of men, women, children and little babies.

The Saudi military coalition reported intercepting and destroying an armed drone launched by the Houthis from northern Yemen against civilian targets in southern Saudi Arabia.

“It was launched systematically and deliberately by the terrorist Houthi militia to target civilians and civilian objects in the south of the region,” coalition spokesman Turki al-Maliiki said.

On Sunday evening, the State Department said it was “deeply troubled by continued Houthi attacks.”

This, in turn, caused faces within the Biden State Department to morph crimson [go Tide!].

“We urge the Houthis to refrain from destabilizing actions and demonstrate their commitment to constructively engage in UN Special Envoy Griffiths’ efforts to achieve peace. The time is now to find an end to this conflict,” naive State Department spokesman Ned Price said softly.

No big deal for Biden, though. He plans to have the nation distracted with the faux impeachment trial of Donald Trump.

It's obvious that Democrats hate Trump more than they hate terrorists and illegal aliens who commit violent crimes.

'Mad Dog' didn't disclose consultant role in column denouncing Trump's "America First" policy

Full disclosure: while my last name may sound Chinese, I'm not.

Jim "Mad Dog" Mattis co-authored [with three others] a column calling for an end to President Donald Trump's "America First" foreign policy. The "Dog" forgot to mention that he's with the Cohen Group, (TCG) an international business firm with deep pockets in Communist China, the country that spread the coronavirus throughout the world and blamed it on America.

The column was published by Foreign Affairs and entitled “Defense in Depth: Why U.S. Security Depends on Alliances—Now More Than Ever.” It called for an increase in international cooperation [aka appeasement] with Communist China to counteract their influence "which could potentially undermine the American way of life."

The column showed Mattis' roles at the Hoover Institution and former Secretary of Defense, but never mentioned his work as "senior counselor" since September 2019 with the Cohen Group. They merely advise clients on international business deals and have two offices in China. 

[H/T The Washington Times]

TCG describes China in positive terms: "a market of enormous opportunity and complexity." Perhaps the complexity comes from their currency manipulation and government-owned businesses.

“TCG enables Fortune 500 Companies, as well as small- and medium-sized enterprises, to achieve their commercial goals in China through tailored government, business, and media relations strategies,” the website claims.

When President Trump began his first term in 2016 he took a patriotic, hardline stance on Communist China as he placed a series of tariffs on Chinese-made goods which started a trade war. 

The Mattis column states that the USA should  “maintain robust alliances in Asia,” return to a leadership role in international organizations and seek to diversity global supply chains to reduce reliance on Chinese-made goods.

The article called on the presumptive President-elect Joseph Robinette Biden’s leftist administration to “quickly revise the national security strategy to eliminate “America first” from its contents, restoring in its place the commitment to cooperative security that has served the United States so well for decades.”

Since being escorted out the door of the Trump administration in 2019, Mattis has been critical of the "Bad Orange Man."

Upon seeing the article, Trump, never one to censor whatever ran through his mind, tweeted that he "should have fired him [Mattis] sooner" and predictably called him the "world's most overrated general."

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo also pushed back on Mattis’ remarks:

"I have a lot of respect for Jim, but he's just dead wrong on that," Pompeo told Fox News' "Special Report" host Bret Baier. "'America First' has been at its heart, a recognition that when America is secure at home, when America does good things for our own economy, for our own prosperity, that America will be a force for good.”

China sort of comes clean about destroying COVID samples

China admitted they destroyed initial samples of the COVID-19 virus, which confirms the claim U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo made last month and was condemned by the Chinese for telling the truth.

A supervisor with China's National Health Commission, Liu Dengfeng, admitted the government issued the order to dispose of the coronavirus samples at unauthorized laboratories on January 3rd, according to Newsweek. However, Liu denied they were destroyed to cover-up any wrongdoing and explained they were destroyed to "prevent risk to laboratory biological safety and prevent secondary disasters caused by unidentified pathogens." He also didn't specify how many labs were involved in destroying the samples.

Liu said that the labs were 'unauthorized' to handle such samples, and they had to be destroyed in order to comply with Chinese public health laws, which appear to be as useful to public health as an aspirin is for lung cancer.

Last month, Pompeo accused the Chinese government of not being transparent about spread of the coronavirus, and he was absolutely correct. "The  Chinese Communist Party still has not shared the virus sample from inside of China with the outside world, making it impossible to track the disease's evolution," he said at an April 22nd briefing.

"We strongly believe that the Chinese Communist Party did not report the outbreak of the new coronavirus in a timely fashion to the World Health Organization," he added. "Even after the CCP did notify the WHO of the coronavirus outbreak, China didn't share all of the information that it had.

"Instead it covered up how dangerous the disease is, It didn't report sustained human-to-human transmission for a month until it was in every province inside of China. It censored those who tried to warn the world in order to halt the testing of new samples, and it destroyed existing samples."

There have been about 4.6 million cases of COVID globally with at least 309,000 deaths.

The United States has been disproportionately affected by the disease, with the country accounting for almost a quarter of global cases and deaths. Had President Trump taken the advice from Democrats such as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi or New York City Mayor Comrade Bill de Blasio, the spread of the virus in the U.S. would likely have been much greater, at least initially.

Although President Trump had often said that he has a good relationship with Chinese dictator President Xi Jinping, he now said, "I just--right now I don't want to speak to him. I don't want to speak to him." He did not say the same sentence a third time, as he often does.

Meanwhile, a Department of Homeland Security report revealed last Sunday said that US officials believe China 'intentionally concealed the severity' of the pandemic in early January and hoarded medical supplies.

The CIA thinks China pressured the WHO into delaying public warnings about COVID-19 early on, and if this is true, China needs to pay a heavy price.

U.S. airstrikes attack Taliban jihadis just days after signing peace agreement

On Wednesday the U.S. flew sorties on Taliban targets in Afghanistan merely days after signing useless peace agreement with the jihadi group's leadership last weekend. The strikes were flown in Nahr-e-Saraj, Helmand and targeted the scumcrumpets who were "actively attacking" an Afghan security forces checkpoint, according to Afghanistan spokesman Col. Sonny Leggett.

“This was a defensive strike to disrupt the attack,” Leggett tweeted.

It's incredible to think that we are so naive as to believe the Taliban would abide by the agreement. Taqiyya is the Islamic term of lying for the sake of Islam, and apparently, this is exactly what was going on in the minds of the Taliban leaders. 

The airstrike, the first against the Taliban in eleven days, came a day after President Trump spoke on the phone with Taliban chief negotiator Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar amid reports that fighting had resumed between Taliban fighters and Afghan security forces. Trump got along well with Baradar on the phone and he thought that the Taliban head liked him so it was puzzling to the president as to why he would not honor their agreement.

Trump called the phone call “a very good talk” and said both “have agreed there is no violence, don’t want violence.” He also said that it "was a perfect phone call, perfect in every way. It was perfect, so don't let the fake news tell you otherwise. Believe me, it was perfect."

Three separate attacks Tuesday night by the Taliban reportedly killed at least 25 Afghan soldiers and injured 13 others.

The U.S. and Taliban signed the so-called landmark “Agreement for Bringing Peace to Afghanistan” on Saturday, which stipulates that the Taliban “start intra-Afghan negotiations with Afghan sides” on March 10.

Bringing peace to Afghanistan while the Taliban wants control is like bringing peace to the Palestinian-Israeli situation while Jews still live in Israel.

Defense Secretary Mark Esper said Monday that he has given the green light to the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan to begin withdrawing American troops from the region, in a show of “good faith” to bolster the peace agreement. 

Yes, if we withdraw our troops while the Taliban is sending theirs out to kill Afghans, is a brilliant strategy and is certain to win the hearts and minds of the Taliban.

The Pentagon plans to reduce U.S. troops in Afghanistan from the current number of 12,000 to 8,600 in 135 days. A full withdrawal was planned for 14 months from now provided the Taliban does not breach the peace deal. And the chances that they won't screw the pooch are about the same as the chance of being struck by lightning while cashing in your winning Lottery ticket in a snowstorm in July at Times Square.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said the U.S. “will closely watch the Taliban’s compliance with their commitments, and calibrate the pace of our withdrawal to their actions.”

Good luck with that. I hope I'm wrong, I really do.

Iranians call out: "Death to Liars!" demanding resignation of Ayatollah over downing of plane

Tehran -- The chants in Iran changed from "Death to America!" "Death to Israel!" to "Death to Liars!" as thousands took to the streets Saturday night to protest the government that lied to them about the downing of the Ukrainian passenger plane by Iran that killed all of the 176 souls on board.

Protesters demanded the resignation of their dictator and spiritual terrorist Ayatollah Ali Khamenei after their government lied to the citizens and the world that they were not responsible for the downing of the plane that they later admitted the shot down "by mistake."

The Daily Mail reported:

“Angry crowds gathered on Saturday night in at least four locations in Tehran, chanting ‘death to liars’ and calling for the country’s supreme leader to step down over the tragic military blunder, video from the scene shows. “‘Death to the Islamic Republic’ protesters chanted, as the regime’s paramilitary security force allegedly used ambulances to sneak heavily armed paramilitary police into the middle of crowds to disperse the demonstration.”

Reuters reported that the protesters were also calling out for “Death to the dictator,” which was a direct reference to Khamenei.

U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo tweeted:

The voice of the Iranian people is clear. They are fed up with the regime’s lies, corruption, ineptitude, and brutality of the IRGC under @khamenei_ir's kleptocracy. We stand with the Iranian people who deserve a better future. pic.twitter.com/tBOjv9XsIG

Another person who videoed the scene also tweeted:

“So many years, so many crimes, death to the Islamic Republic.” Tehran, #Iran. pic.twitter.com/lFptbM4hNT

The Boeing 737 owned by Ukraine, was shot down on Tuesday after Iran fired numerous missiles at U.S. forces stationed in Iraq in retaliation for the U.S. military killing IRGC-Quds Force commander Qassem Soleimani, who was responsible for murdering hundreds of U.S. soldiers.

Some Democrats tried to blame the incompetence of Iran on President Trump and have used disgusting rhetoric and twisted logic to do so. Pete Buttigieg, a far-left poser as a moderate used the "butterfly effect" logic to blame Trump by saying that if he hadn't killed the terrorist, the Iranians wouldn't have shot down the plane.

If car companies didn't make cars, people wouldn't die on the roads.

It's disgusting and treasonous as I see it to take the blame from the terrorist country of Iran and place it on our president who lawfully removed an obvious threat to human life from the face of the Earth.

Of course, Buttigieg isn't alone in his disgusting unpatriotic rhetoric. The rest of the Democratic clowns campaigning for president also blamed Trump, including Communist Bernie Sanders and his fangirl socialist Alexandria Obviously-Comatose.

Breaking: US strikes Iraq, Syria after contractor killed

The U.S. military flew combat sorties in Iraq and Syria on Sunday just days after a U.S. defense contractor was killed in a rocket attack on a military compound. The "precision defensive strikes" successfully targeted five sites of Kataeb Hezbollah, an Iran-backed militia, according to a report to Fox News by Pentagon spokesman Jonathan Hoffman.

Two defense officials added that Air Force F-15 jet fighters carried out the strikes.

In addition to the defense contractor, four U.S. troops and two members of the Iraqi Security Forces (ISF) were wounded.

According to military reports, over 30 rockets were fired in Friday's assault, making this the eleventh rocket attack on U.S. and Iraqi forces since the end of October.

Hoffman said the U.S. strikes will weaken Kataeb Hezbollah's ability to carry out future attacks on Americans and their Iraqi government allies.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo had blamed Iran for two separate rocket attacks on Baghdad International Airport on Dec. 9 and Dec. 11. [BIA is one of the airports that CNN probably does not pay $100 thousand for airing their TV coverage.] U.S. and Iraqi forces are located on the far side of this airport.

Pompeo said if any Americans were harmed in the future, it would "be answered with a decisive U.S. response."

BREAKING: What Fox News et al won't tell you about Ilhan Omar

Fox News will not even touch this story--at least not yet. Even the conservative media has not reported on it and you can certainly forget about the mainstream media bringing it to light. But there is a report that Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) was recruited by Qatar and was receiving funding from them.

It is alleged that she passed sensitive information to Qatar which through intermediates passed it along to Iran, according to sworn testimony in a Florida court.

The sworn testimony came from a Kuwati-born Canadian businessman Alan Bender, who was giving evidence in the trial of Sheikh Khalid bin Hamad al-Thani.

Thani is the Qatari emir's brother and he is accused of ordering his American bodyguard to kill two people, and of holding an American citizen hostage. His deposition, obtained by Al Arabiya English, was authenticated by the attorney for the plaintiffs, according to Al Arabiya.

Bender spoke from Toronto by video link and told the Florida District Court that he met with Qatar’s Secretary to the Emir for Security Affairs Mohammad bin Ahmed bin Abdullah al-Masnad and two other senior Qatari officials.

According to his sworn deposition, these officials told him: “If it wasn't for our cash, Ilhan Omar would be just another black Somali refugee in America collecting welfare and serving tables on weekends."

The Bender deposition alleged that the officials asked him to recruit American politicians and journalists as Qatari assets. He objected and was told that several important figures were already on the Qatari payroll. Rep. Omar was described as the "jewel in the crown," Bender said and added that Qatar "recruited Ilhan Omar from even way before she thought about becoming a government official. […] They groomed her and arranged the foundation, the grounds, for her to get into politics way before she even showed interest. They convinced her,” he added.

The deposition also states that during the 2017 meeting with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Ilhan Omar swore allegiance to him! This came at the time Omar was a junior state representative in Minnesota.

Omar was also alleged to have passed information to Qatar which was then passed along to Iran. She was also actively involved in recruiting other American politicians to likewise work for Qatar, Bender testified.

“The best thing money can buy are American officials because they are the cheapest of the cheapest costing officials in the world,” the Qatari officials were said to have told him.

Omar is already in trouble after she was found by the Minnesota Campaign Finance Board to have broken campaign finance rules, by improperly using campaign money for out-of-state travel while a state representative.

Judicial Watch, a conservative watchdog group, called on the House Ethics Committee to investigate Omar for alleged offenses, including immigration fraud [in which she is alleged to have married her brother to gain him immigration status].

But there is even more to these claims, all of which Omar denies, of course.

Omar was one of 107 House Democrats who co-signed a letter Thursday, calling on Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to reverse his announcement on the legality of West Bank settlements. The signatories claimed such a move "severely damaged prospects for peace" in the region, as the so-called "Palestinians" pretend to be the arbiters of peace.

Will anything be done about Omar and her far-left, anti-Zionist [aka anti-Semitic] colleagues? Will Fox News and conservative media grow a pair and report this story?

We shall see.

Biden scared over Graham's document request

Joe Biden has come out of his coma to fume at Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) over his request for Hunter Biden documents.

The former Vice President said Friday that he's "embarrassed" for Graham over the documents regarding Hunter's involvement with Ukraine. But more likely, he's scared as hell that his scumcrumpet of a son is going to be revealed to be a worthless, talentless piece of human shoe goo and Joe will be exposed as well as helping him make millions from the Ukrainian company for which he "consulted."

Biden also criticized President Trump during an interview with CNN's execrable Don Lemon, claiming Graham cannot break with the president for fear of losing his Senate seat in 2020.

Or maybe Graham simply wants to get to the bottom of the corruption allegations lodged against Hunter. It turns out that Joe's son got a 26-year-old Alabama woman pregnant last year and is the father of a baby girl. He denied paternity but DNA results proved conclusively that he is the father, making Joe Biden the proud grandfather.

Hunter was also having an affair with his dead brother's wife while still married to his own wife,

Lemon told Biden that Graham once called him the "nicest person" and recalled how the two worked together for many years.

Joe probably is a nice person, but even nice people can be corrupt and break the law.

After a pause, Biden turned to Lemon and said, "They're asking Lindsey Graham. They have him under their thumb right now. They know he knows if he comes out against Trump he’s got a real tough road for reelection."

So it's Graham who's the fraud, not Joe and Hunter. See how that works?

Graham, who is the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, sent a letter to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo requesting the release of all documents related to contacts between Joe Biden, his son and former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko. 

The letter was released on the final day of public hearings in the House impeachment inquiry. It asked Pompeo to release a number of documents and transcripts of conversations between Biden and Poroshenko in 2016 regarding an investigation into Burisma Holdings, the Ukrainian natural gas company, and specifically, Hunter Biden's role on its board of directors.

In an interview with the Compromised News Network (CNN), Biden said he is "quite frankly... angered" by Graham's move. But it's likely he's more scared than angry if truth be told.

"He knows me. He knows my son. He knows there's nothing to this," Sleepy Joe said.

He claimed Trump is "essentially holding power over him [Graham] that even the Ukrainians wouldn't yield to."

"Lindsey is about to go down in a way that I think he's going to regret his whole life," he said threateningly. Then he addressed Graham directly: "Lindsey... I'm just embarrassed by what you're doing -- for you -- I mean, my Lord."

In other words, Biden was like yo.

Failed novelist Ben Rhodes defends Iran after attack

Ben Rhodes has an MFA in creative writing from NYU but has failed as a novelist because publishing houses obviously didn't think he had talent. His brother David is a former president of NBC News. Those were all the qualifications former President Barack Obama felt he needed for his National Security Advisor for Strategic Communications [emphasis on felt], a position created for him because of his talent as a failed novelist.

Rhodes tweeted:

Yesterday, massive explosions rocked a Saudi Arabian oil field, shutting down 5% of the world’s production. As my colleague streiff shared earlier today, we didn’t have to wait long to find out who did it. If you had Iran as the aggressor, congrats, although that’s not a difficult guess these days. It appears cruise missiles, possibly fired by Iranian backed militias in Iraq, were used in the attack.

Well well well… pic.twitter.com/bPgY6J67JE

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo confirmed that Iran was the backing for the operation. The cruise missiles belong to them and only their proxies use them.

Pompeo tweeted:

We call on all nations to publicly and unequivocally condemn Iran’s attacks. The United States will work with our partners and allies to ensure that energy markets remain well supplied and Iran is held accountable for its aggression
— Secretary Pompeo (@SecPompeo) September 14, 2019

But Ben Rhodes [I misspelled Butt] knows better than all of us. He is telling us that Sec. Pompeo is wrong and he knows better. [Is it possible he is having an affair with Iranian-born Valerie Jarrett?]

In an incredibly dumb, dishonest and dangerous tweet, Rhodes posted:

The Houthis are not the same as Iran and the Saudis are fighting a war against them in Yemen. This is an incredibly dumb, dishonest and dangerous thing to say. https://t.co/Ij5haLdzQr
— Ben Rhodes (@brhodes) September 14, 2019

The likelihood that Iran isn't involved in the attack and Rhodes is correct has the same probability of finding a Mars chocolate bar on Mars. The Secretary of State is privy to the intelligence that Rhodes is not, therefore Rhodes lacks intelligence in more ways than one.

Suffice it to say, Rhodes invariably tends to side with Iran and the Mullahs and it makes one wonder if there isn't something in it for him. Maybe Jarrett really is influencing him with promises to keep.

Fun Fact: Valerie Jarrett is 5% Native American, which means she is more Native American than Elizabeth "Throwing Bull" Warren.

The fact that the Houthis are controlled by Iran and are financed by them challenges the notion that Ben Rhodes should be taken more seriously than a village idiot.

Several tweets challenge Rhodes' credibility:

Iran-backed Lebanese Hezbollah trains the Houthis. Iran backs the Houthis including by supplying them with advanced weaponry. You can keep pretending the Islamic Republic in Iran is not behind these destructive proxies. But facts are stubborn things. https://t.co/7XnUMtYmjU
— Mark Dubowitz (@mdubowitz) September 14, 2019

Every time Ben Rhodes opens his mouth, I have to remind myself that yes, this man actually served as a Deputy NSA in the Obama White House. https://t.co/5Umi2BPHio
— capitalist ghoul 🦅 (@m0ve_im_gay) September 14, 2019

But the best rebuttal of Rhodes' idiocy came from Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX):

The frightening irony is that when Rhodes was in the Obama administration, none of the media challenged his qualifications. Even with the horrible Arab Spring which set off Middle East fireworks, nothing was said to challenge his ability to be in an important advisory position.

And let's face it, the dude went along with the Iran nuclear deal.

Yet today, the media refuses to call him out for being unqualified to be taken seriously about foreign affairs.

Dan Crenshaw blasts Ben Rhodes over his doubts Iran blasted vessels in Gulf of Oman

Iran evidently blew up two oil tankers in the Gulf of Oman, and the predictable knee-jerk reaction from the left-stream media is to blame Trump, if Iran actually did the deed, idiots like Ben Rhodes say.

As seen in intelligence video and reported by U.S. officials, an Iranian vessel removed an unexploded mine that had been attached to a Japanese-owned oil tanker which suffered serious damage after an explosion in the Gulf of Oman early Thursday.

At least one other mine attached to the hull detonated, causing the blast which forced the crew of 21 to abandon ship. It happened near the strategic Strait of Hormuz, a key route for oil shipments in the region.

Ben Rhodes, the former failed novelist and aide to former failed President Barack Hussein Obama, said he questions U.S. claims that Iran attacked the oil tankers. ["After all," he might have said to himself, "why would they do such a mean thing after President Obama sent them $1.9 billion on wooden pallets and they cheerfully accepted it? It was Trump's fault that it happened anyway."]

Republican Rep. Dan Crenshaw of Texas bashed Rhodes for questioning the United States' claim that Iran was responsible for the attack, in spite of visual confirmation of an Iranian-style military craft removing an unexploded mine on the damaged Japanese vessel, the Kokuka Courageous.

Rhodes, who usually fails at most things he tries, pushed for the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran and later admitted publicly that he lied about Iran's subsequent bellicose behavior after promising us that they would cease all nuclear ambitions.

Rhodes suggested that the U.S. official assessment of the tanker attacks shouldn’t be taken for granted, [i.e., believed] saying only an international investigation can get to the bottom of the incident and he would love to help with that undertaking.

“This definitely feels like the kind of incident where you'd want an international investigation to establish what happened. Huge risk of escalation,” the weasel said in a tweet.

If Iran sent an ICBM to Los Angeles, Rhodes would tell us to wait and see if it was loaded.

Rhodes' self-serving remark prompted a strong rebuttal from Crenshaw, the freshman congressman and former U.S. Navy SEAL officer. He blasted Rhodes for downplaying the danger posed by the Iranian regime and doubting the intelligence community with his own lack of intelligence.

Crenshaw tweeted:

“So, do or don’t believe the Intel community? And you’re not really a trusted source to weigh in on Iran. You sold the public the falsehood of a moderating Iranian regime - using your media ‘echo chamber’ (your words)- & ignoring the true danger Iran presents in the region."

He added:

“I’ve been watching for years as Iran moves weapons to proxies around the region, looking for opportunities to destabilize & wreak havoc, and then claim innocence. This is not new. And the Administration is right to strengthen our regional presence as a deterrence.”

Crenshaw refers to Rhodes’ now-infamous comments that the administration’s foreign policy team built an “echo chamber” of experts to help sell the horrible Iran nuclear deal.

“We created an echo chamber,” Rhodes told the New York Times Magazine in 2016 when asked about arms-control experts that appeared at think tanks and were then used as sources for hundreds of reporters – whom the article described as “clueless.”

Of those experts, Rhodes said: “They were saying things that validated what we had given them to say.”

If you take Ben Rhodes seriously and believe his bullcrap, you've got to be a liberal and get your news from MSNBC or CNN.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, a former military officer and who graduated first in his West Point class, blamed Iran for the "blatant assault" on oil tankers in the Gulf of Oman earlier Thursday.

Pompeo said at a news conference: “This assessment is based on intelligence, the weapons used, the level of expertise needed to execute the operation, recent similar Iranian attacks on shipping, and the fact that no proxy group operating in the area has the resources and proficiency to act with such a high degree of sophistication.”

He said that Iran was working to disrupt the flow of oil through the Strait of Hormuz and that it's a deliberate action to escalate tension. He also made it clear that the U.S. would defend its forces and interests in the region, but did not elaborate.

U.S. officials released a video Friday showing what clearly appears to be Iran’s Revolutionary Guard in a gunboat removing an unexploded limpet mine from one of the vessels. This was the same type of vessel used when our U.S. sailors were taken prisoner by Iran and Obama paid them off.

According to a U.S. official (who requested anonymity to discuss sensitive information) other Iranian small boats have remained near the stricken oil tanker since the attack early Thursday. The official explained that this type of limpet mine was the same type used to damage four other tankers in the Gulf of Oman last month. And the vessel carrying the Iranian military crew is a fast inshore attack craft (FIAC) and is the same type used by Iran in the past to harass American warships in the Persian Gulf.

Make no mistake, Ben Rhodes has his personal credibility riding on the notion that Iran is innocent of these crimes, but like his failed novela, he is full of empty words.

Iran tries to scare US military threatens to hit commercial ships

Tensions continue to grow in the Middle East on Friday after Iran warned the United States that it could easily destroy a naval fleet sent by us in order to ward off a potential threat to the nation's commercial interests.

"Their billion[-dollar] fleet can be destroyed with one missile," Ayatollah Tabatabai-Nejad bragged, Reuters reported.

"If they attempt any move, they will ... [face] dozens of missiles because at that time [government] officials won't be in charge to act cautiously, but instead things will be in the hands of our beloved leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei," he warned, implying that the Ayatollah is one crazy dude in a jihad-crazy mood.

The heated rhetoric has capped a multiyear standoff over the rogue terrorist nation's nuclear program.

President Trump's administration angered the regime when he withdrew from an Obama-era nuclear deal granting Iran sanctions relief in exchange for limited monitoring accommodations.

Trump referred to the deal as one of the worst unbelievable deals in the history of mankind on this planet. He particularly took issue with the idea of Obama giving the Iranians pallets of cash to help fund their terrorist activities.

The regime partially restarted its nuclear program in reaction to sanctions the administration applied in May as part of its plan to put a chokehold on the nation's crude oil exports. U.S. intelligence indicated that Iran considered military action and could close a waterway through which a hefty amount of the world's oil passes.

“Iran or its proxies could respond by targeting commercial vessels, including oil tankers, or U.S. military vessels in the Red Sea, Bab-el-Mandeb Strait, or the Persian Gulf,” the U.S. Maritime Administration (MARAD) said on Friday.

If that happens, we might take military action.

While the president has warned of a potential U.S. military response, he also urged Iranian leaders on Thursday to talk with him about their nuclear program. "What they should be doing is calling me up, sitting down; we can make a deal, a fair deal. ... We're not looking to hurt Iran," Trump reportedly told the press.

In a statement on Thursday, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo pushed talks between leaders but warned that the U.S. was ready to take "swift and decisive" action if they push us to that point.

"The regime in Tehran should understand that any attacks by them or their proxies of any identity against U.S. interests or citizens will be answered with a swift and decisive U.S. response," Pompeo said.

Military action appeared more likely after Iran's Revolutionary Guard refused to hold talks with the U.S.

“No talks will be held with the Americans, and the Americans will not dare take military action against us," Yadollah Javani, the group's deputy head for political affairs, said as he grabbed his crotch, bounced on the balls of his feet and pumped his shoulders up and down twice while looking side-to-side.

President Trump has a nickname for Yadollah Javani, but he isn't going public with it as yet. Can you guess what it is?

ISIS bride and 3 time loser wants to come to America

Would vote for Ilhan Omar

Syria -- She called for the death of Americans and when asked about it she said, "No comment." She married a total of 3 ISIS jihadis; all were killed by U.S.-led forces. Her name is  Hoda Muthana,  she was born in New Jersey, lived in Alabama, joined ISIS and now she wants to return to the United States. Except her father was a diplomat which means she isn't a U.S. citizen.

She is now living in a crap hole camp in Northern Syria – and Benjamin Hall of Fox News tracked her down.

“I just want to go back home,” the cute terrorist said and laughed inappropriately. “I want my son to see my family, I want him to be safe in Syria. It’s not safe here, no matter what my government tells me.”

It isn't your government.

But Muthana is not and has never been a U.S. citizen. Her father was a Yemeni diplomat at the time of her birth which means that she doesn't have to answer to the U.S. Constitution because under the law, she's Yemini.

Her lawyer is fighting this fact.

President Trump and secretary of State Mike Pompeo have each said she isn't welcome. In February, Trump tweeted that he instructed Pompeo to not “allow Hoda Muthana back into the country.” Screw her and the camel she tried to run in on.

While she was with ISIS,  she was a spokesterrorist for the group, calling for Americans to be killed.

“Americans wake up! Men and women altogether. You have much to do while you live under our greatest enemy, enough of your sleeping! Go on drive-bys and spill all of their blood, or rent a big truck and drive all over them. Veterans, Patriot, Memorial etc Day parades..go on drive by’s + spill all of their blood or rent a big truck n drive all over them. Kill them,” she tweeted last month in a post that has since been taken down.

She now claims ISIS took over her Twitter account, and with therapy, she could put aside her blatant hatred for Americans and all other infidels, 'especially those Joooze,' and become a model citizen.

“Before I came, I’ve never done any crime and I’m sure I’m not going to be doing any crimes in the future,” she claimed, “and I know I’ve come to Syria and look like I am a supporter of the worst terror group in history.”

Because she is a supporter.

Muthana  claims she was radicalized online. A shy unassuming, sweet young terrorist, she began living a double life on social media after being given a smart phone at 18.

In 2014, ISIS was ascendant, committing horrible atrocities, enslaving, raping women, beheading and stoning people, conquering vast areas of territory. It eventually ruled over 8 million people. Muthana, then 19, was was seduced by the beheadings and stonings and went to join them.

“I didn’t hate America” she laughed as she lied to Fox News. “I didn’t hate anything. I just thought it was obligatory – when I started practicing I was very scared of the concept of hellfire. The Qu'ran told me to go.”

Books don't talk. She decided on her own that killing infidels was her ticket into Jannah, or paradise.

She took some money earmarked for college, and got on a plane to Turkey, from where she was smuggled across the border to Syria. It was only then that she turned on a phone and called home – telling her mother she was with the terror group.

They have always condemned her move. She said she was ‘brainwashed.”

The thing is, if you're brainwashed, you don't know you're brainwashed.

Once in the ISIS capital of Raqqa – she was held in a locked house for women until marrying. Her first husband, Suhan Rahman, was a well-known Australian fighter who was killed in battle.

She went on to marry two more scumcrumpets – both who were also killed in battle. Turns out they were lousy jihadis.

Muthana had a little jihadi boy who’s now 19 months old. In the early days of the caliphate, life was a terrorist's dream: she was able get food, and fully embrace the ideology of a world caliphate with its carnage, raping, burning and beheading.

But as the U.S.-led coalition began to tighten the noose, ISIS began to lose the fight and even food started to become scarce.

When President Trump took office, he told the U.S. military to take the gloves off and kick some terrorist butt. Soon the airstrikes picked up and the poor ISIS families were moved from one town to another. They eventually ended up in the town of Baghouz, where they made their last stand and got their butts kicked even more.

Hall writes that every ISIS member he speaks to regrets their decision, but acknowledges the reason--they lost, we won.

Anti-Semite Corbyn and his party oppose ban on Hezbollah

Jeremy "Crap-Weasel" Corbyn's, Labour Party see no need to take any action to ban the internationally recognized terrorist group Hezbollah in spite of their reputation. The British Labour Party opposes plans by the government to ban the Iranian-backed terrorist organization Hezbollah in its entirety.

The Anti-Semitic Labour Party charged that Home Secretary Sajid Javid has failed to produce “any clear evidence” why the group should be outlawed, The Jewish Chronicle reported.

Instead, a Labour spokesperson asserted that Hezbollah is “part of the democratically elected Lebanese government” and charged the decision was motivated by Javid’s “leadership ambitions,” rather than the blatant anti-Zionist, anti-Semitism of the Party.

Crap Weasel Jeremy Corbyn, the head of the British Labour Party, infamously once referred to Hezbollah as his “friends” and marched with Hezbollah sympathizers on Al Quds Day in London because he cannot prove the degree to which he sucks and has a large following of fellow suckers.

At a time when London has been bending over backwards to accommodate the demands of their Muslim population, anti-Semitic hate crimes in the U.K. are at an all-time high.

In a move that infuriated Labour lawmakers, Corbyn imposed only a one-line whip on the vote that takes place in parliament Tuesday night, meaning that lawmakers – including Corbyn – are under no obligation to vote on the order proscribing Hezbollah in its entirety.

Word on the street has it that Corbyn is a secret sex slave of Hassan Nasrallah, but this is just rumor and there is no indication that this is true or, on the other hand, false.

Labour’s statement comes after Javid announced on Monday that the whole of Hezbollah is to become a banned terrorist group in Britain. Parts of the Lebanese-based organization have been proscribed since 2001, with its military wing banned since 2008. The changes are expected to take effect on Friday.

In its explanation of the decision, the Home Office said it can no longer distinguish between the group’s military and political wings. It said Hezbollah “continues to amass weapons in direct contravention of UN Security Council Resolutions, putting the security of the region at risk.”

Another rumor has it that Corbyn has already made plans and has his "go-bag" packed should the winds of change blow toward Mecca. He is also planning to get circumcised, just to be on the safe side.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo praised the British decision and said on Twitter that it showed “international unity to confront Iran’s regime continues to grow.

“This Iran-sponsored terrorist group has American blood on its hands & continues to plot & carry out attacks in the Mideast, Europe & around the world,” he added.

Israel’s foreign minister also commented on the move and [laughingly] called upon the United Nations to follow suit. “I would like to praise the British government on the decision to recognize the entire Hezbollah organization as a terrorist organization,” Israel Katz posted on Twitter.

The chances of the UN following suit to ban Hezbollah is as likely as a transgender woman from Idaho being hit by a meteor in Times Square while cashing in a winning Power Ball ticket at 3:12 p.m. on a Tuesday in January.

ISIS bride's daddy suing Trump, US to let her return to the country she hates

The father of the Alabama woman who joined ISIS and now begs to return to the U.S., is taking legal action against President Trump, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Attorney General William Barr, in spite of the fact that it was under the Barack Hussein Obama administration that she joined the terrorist organization.

Lawyers from the Constitutional Law Center for Muslims in America (CLCMA),
an organization that has many negative online reviews, have filed a lawsuit on behalf of Ahmed Ali Muthana.

The attorneys argue that his daughter Hoda and her 18-month-old son should be allowed to return to America, and her citizenship – which the U.S. government disputes – should be recognized in spite of the fact that she called upon Americans to run people down with their cars and basically called for the blood of the innocent.

The suit also seeks a judgment that Muthana's father is “entitled to send his daughter money to ensure the survival of his daughter and grandson, and enable them safe passage home, without subjecting himself to criminal liability” under U.S. law.

Muthana currently is living at a refugee camp in northeast Syria and she "is willing to pay whatever debts she has to society” – even if it means serving a lengthy prison sentence, [which she absolutely should if allowed back] her family's lawyer told Fox News on Thursday.

However, she gave up her right to return to the U.S. after she willingly left to join with ISIS, a terrorist organization that beheads innocent people, makes women into sex slaves, kills children and even locks people in cages and burns them to death.

In 2015, Muthana allegedly operated a Twitter account that, on at least one occasion, tried to incite Americans to commit acts of violence on national holidays. But she hopes we'll forgive that little glitch in her personality.

Pompeo though has said Muthana is not an American citizen and Trump has vowed not to let her back into the country.

“In Ms. Muthana’s words, she recognizes that she has ‘ruined’ her own life, but she does not want to ruin the life of her young child,” the attorneys who filed the lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia told AL.com in a statement.

So let her give up the child for adoption where he will not be brainwashed into becoming a jihadi, and let her stay in beautiful downtown Syria where she can continue spouting her hatred for innocent Americans and other infidels.

The CLCMA lawyers added: “Citizenship is a core right under the Constitution, and once recognized should not be able to be unilaterally revoked by tweet—no matter how egregious the intervening conduct may be."

Citizenship is a core right under the Constitution until you give up that right by burning your passport and become an enemy of the state by advocating violence against the citizens.

Dr. Zuhdi Jasser, a former U.S. Navy physician and the Founder and President of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy -- a group that describes itself as a “Muslim-led organization working on the front lines for reform at all levels of the Muslim community” -- told Fox News yesterday the government shouldn’t even bother with Muthana.

“She became, not only a terrorist, she became an enemy of our country and if she did believe in the citizenship oath…she abandoned it and actually violated it and became an enemy combatant,” he said on "America’s Newsroom."

Dr. Jasser is absolutely correct. I sincerely hope Trump stands by his words.

Israel proves intended Iranian satellite launch

The Israeli firm ImageSat International (ISI) exposed the sneaky Iranians as they are in the final stages of a satellite launching scheme. This appears to be part of the Islamic Republic's ballistic missile program.

According to images released by ISI, Tehran plans to launch a satellite into orbit from northern Iran.

Although Iranian President Hassan Rouhani made past claims regarding launching satellites “using domestically-made rockets,” Iranian officials have been caught with their pajamas down in the past fabricating military intelligence and attempting to disseminate false propaganda regarding Iran’s military capabilities.

In this latest case, however, ISI’s photos seem to demonstrate that Iran’s satellite launch may be imminent, with large numbers of personnel arriving at the Khomenei Spaceport in the past few days, Times of Israel reported.

Israel, the United States, and other allies believe Iran is using its space program to develop ballistic missiles capable of reaching Iran’s enemies far and wide. And there's no reason not to believe this as they continue their ritualistic chants of "Death to America!" and "Death to Israel!"

“It is our assessment that the missile that will carry the satellite is already in a construction site, and that checks are being preformed on it and on the launcher,” ISI said, according to the Times.

Israel is not alone in expressing consternation about Iran’s military ambitions and aggression, with U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo previously identifying Iran’s satellite program as clear evidence of the country’s defiance of a U.N. resolution barring the Iran from developing ballistic missiles capable of carrying nuclear weapons because those suicidal maniacs would be only happy to use them to get their ride to Jannah and their virgins.

Pompeo warns Iran about rocket launches and gets the middle finger

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo warned Iran on Thursday about three planned space rocket launches. He pointed out that this would violate U.N. Security resolution 2231, which is a resolution endorsing the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) on the nuclear program of Iran. That resolution urged Iran to avoid all activities related to ballistic missiles that are ready to deliver nuclear weapons.

Pompeo said that Iran announced plans to launch Space Launch Vehicles (SLV) that utilize ballistic missile technology. So while on the surface it appears innocent, we know how sneaky some nations can be in gearing up their military strength.

Pompeo stated: 

"The United States will not stand by and watch the Iranian regime's destructive policies place international stability and security at risk. We advise the regime to reconsider these provocative launches and cease all activities related to ballistic missiles in order to avoid deeper economic and diplomatic isolation … The United States has continuously cautioned that ballistic missile and SLV launches by the Iranian regime have a destabilizing effect on the region and beyond. France, Germany, the United Kingdom, and many nations from around the world have also expressed deep concern."

“Pompeo said Iran has launched ballistic missiles numerous times since the U.N. resolution was adopted. He said it test-fired a medium-range ballistic missile capable of carrying multiple warheads on Dec. 1. In July 2017, Iran launched a rocket it said could deliver a satellite into space, an act the U.S. State Department called provocative. Earlier that month, the United States slapped new economic sanctions on Iran over its ballistic missile program," Reuters reported.

Javad Zarif, the Foreign Minister of Iran, responded to Pompeo on Twitter, stating the United States has no right to attack Iran’s testing of ballistic missiles, writing: 

“Iran's launch of space vehicles— & missile tests—are NOT in violation of Res 2231. The US is in material breach of same, & as such it is in no position to lecture anyone on it. Reminder to the US: 1. Res 1929 is dead; 2. threats engender threats, while civility begets civility."

Zarif’s tweet prompted Mark Dubowitz, the chief executive of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, to alert former Secretary of State John "Lurch" Kerry, who had championed the Iran nuclear deal. Kerry had claimed that Resolution 2231 would restrain Iran. Yeah, like hell it would.

Dubowitz tweeted: 

“So @JohnKerry. What say you to @JZarif? He thinks JCPOA gave the green light to Iran’s missile testing by ending 1929. He thinks the “calls upon” language in 2231 is a joke. You & other parties to JCPOA thought 2231 was a restraint. Who’s correct? You or Zarif?”

In August 2015, once the Iran deal was signed, Kerry bragged about what he believed was a great accomplishment.

He claimed the nuclear deal had restrained Iran, saying of his self-assumed brilliance, “And that is why we say Israel, all of the Gulf states, everybody in the region – we, the United States, who have our own security concerns – are safer with this deal than without it. Because if you don’t do this deal, folks, not only will we have walked away from our allies – Britain, France, Germany – and non-allies but interested parties – Russia, China – we will have lost the moral imperative, if you will, or high ground. We will have left Iran free to go do its program without restraints, without inspections, without knocking down its stockpile, without knowing what they’re doing.”

James Taylor agreed as he sang a tune slightly off key.

Well here we are in the start of a new year and the world still hasn't come to an end with President Trump in the White House, in spite of what the media and the left [but I repeat myself] would have you believe.

Tillerson slams Trump who then says Tillerson 'is as dumb as a rock'

Former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson appeared on CBS News journalist Bob Schieffer sitting down with the veteran newsman during a fundraiser for the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas, the Houston Chronicle reported.

Tillerson spoke about President Trump and some observations during his tenure as Secretary of State, saying that he always had to remind President Trump that some of his plans wold "violate the law." He also said that he and Trump did not share a "common value system" and were "obviously starkly different in our styles."

President Trump, who is no shrinking violet, fired back that Tillerson saying that he was "as dumb as a rock."

“When the president would say, ‘Here's what I want to do, and here's how I want to do it,’ and I'd have to say to him, ‘Well, Mr. President, I understand what you want to do, but you can't do it that way. It violates the law, it violates the treaty, you know. He got really frustrated,” Tillerson said. “I think he grew tired of me being the guy every day who told him he can’t do that and let’s talk about what he can do.”

He said he told President Trump that he would be willing to “fight the fight” to change laws in Congress so the president could press forward with his agenda.

Trump also fired back on Twitter, saying Tillerson "didn't have the mental capacity needed" as the nation's top diplomat.

But let us not forget that President Trump picked him.

"He was dumb as a rock and I couldn’t get rid of him fast enough," Trump said. "He was lazy as hell. Now it is a whole new ballgame, great spirit at State!"

Tillerson, 66, was fired from the White House in March after rumors of a rift between him and Trump had been circulating for some time. In leaving, Tillerson said Washington, D.C., can be a “very mean-spirited town.”

Rex's Parents

Tillerson also contended Trump tends to act “on his instincts”  and this was incongruent to the way Tillerson worked. “What was challenging for me – coming from the disciplined, highly process-oriented ExxonMobil corporation – to go to work for a man who is pretty undisciplined, doesn’t like to read, doesn’t read briefing reports, doesn’t like to get into the details of a lot of things, but rather just kinda says, ‘Look, this is what I believe,’” Tillerson explained.

Tillerson also believes that there is no question that Russia interfered in the 2016 election and seeks to "undermine our confidence and undermine the world's confidence in us," the Houston Chronicle reported.

President Trump replaced Tillerson with Mike Pompeo, and it's clear that Pompeo is doing a better job and is much more qualified than Tillerson.
