Sec. of State Rubio says he'll terminate green cards of 3 Iranian nationals connected to "Screaming Mary"

Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced on Saturday the termination of the green cards of three Iranian nationals who are connected to an infamous propagandist, known as “Screaming Mary.”

 
Masoumeh Ebtekar was given that nickname because she was the primary English-language spokesperson for the Iranian students who stormed the U.S. Embassy in Tehran in 1979. Over 50 Americans were held hostage for 444 days. During the crisis, Ebtekar frequently justified their captivity and denounced the United States.

Her son, Seyed Eissa Hashemi, and his family entered the U.S. in 2014 with visas approved by the Barack Hussein Obama administration. Two years later, they were granted lawful permanent resident status. Rubio revoked that protection this week based on their ties to the Islamic regime.

Hashemi, Maryam Tahmasebi, and their son were detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement and are now awaiting deportation.

“Her family should never have been allowed to benefit from the extraordinary privilege of living in our country,” Rubio said of Ebtekar on Saturday. “America can never become home for anti-American terrorists or their families — and under the Trump Administration, it never will.”

The move comes one week after Rubio terminated the legal status of the niece and grandniece of former Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Major General Qassem Soleimani, who was killed by a U.S. drone strike in 2020. Like Hashemi and his family, Hamideh Afshar Soleimani and her daughter were placed in ICE custody for their pending removal from the country.

Rubio also rescinded the legal status of the daughter of Ali Larijani, the late secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, and her husband. Fatemeh Ardeshir-Larijani and Seyed Kalantar Motamedi were both deported and are barred from future entry.

In a press release issued Saturday, the State Department briefly explained how Ebtekar coerced American hostages into speaking positively about their treatment when, in fact, it was quite painful. The department said they were “held in solitary confinement, blindfolded and starved, and subjected to physical and psychological terror, including beatings and mock executions.”

Ebtekar later rose in the ranks of the Iranian government, becoming the country’s environmental head twice and serving as a vice president from 2017 to 2021. She is not currently holding a top government position.

Tensions between the U.S. and Iran are high as a tentative two-week ceasefire remains in effect.Vice President JD Vance, who described the truce as “fragile” earlier this week, is presently leading a U.S. delegation to negotiate peace with Iranian officials in Pakistan.

The peace talks come at the six-week mark for Operation Epic Fury, which is on hold for now. The Trump administration has repeatedly touted the operation as a success, having destroyed much of Iran’s military capabilities in just over five weeks.

This is not mercy mistaken for weakness. It is the overdue application of a simple principle: the United States owes no sanctuary to those who have celebrated its humiliation or served regimes that seek its destruction. For decades, the West indulged the fantasy that opening its doors to the families of its enemies would somehow moderate them or signal moral superiority. Instead, it only advertised vulnerability.

Rubio’s decisions, and the broader actions of the Trump administration, mark a return to realism. America is not a hotel for the relatives of hostage-takers, propagandists, and architects of terror. It is a country with the right, and now apparently the will, to decide who belongs in it and who does not. The age of automatic privilege for the ideological offspring of America’s adversaries appears, at last, to be closing.

WAPO's tearjerker obituary on Khamenei is a must see

The very recent demise of Iran's clown and religious Supreme Leader [for life] Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has been eulogized in much the same way as the Islamic Republic Guard Corps' Qasem Soleimani had been by some in the leftist press.

The media lost their minds back when President Trump turned Qasem Soleimani into a puff of smoke and bad memories. Remember the hand-wringing, the solemn editorials about "escalation" and "proportionality," as if the world's leading sponsor of terror deserved a polite retirement party? So it comes as no shock whatever that they're handling the death of the late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the man who just got turned into ash in the first wave of airstrikes Saturday morning, delivering a serious body blow to the Iranian regime, with the same pearl-clutching reverence.

Of course the major outlets are running obituaries for this particular clown, wasting perfectly good ink and pixel space on what amounts to a love letter to a theocratic tyrant. You'd be forgiven for thinking you'd stumbled onto the Babylon Bee, that elite satire outfit, but no, this is the genuine article, straight from The Washington Post. 

As some sharp-eyed observers pointed out, it reads less like journalism and more like a particularly delusional dating app profile: "An early follower of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the austere cleric who inspired the revolution against Iran’s U.S.-backed monarchy, Ayatollah Khamenei staunchly opposed the United States and Israel, rejected Western “liberalism,” and adhered strictly to fundamentalist social policies.As supreme leader of Iran since 1989, when he succeeded Khomeini, Ayatollah Khamenei wielded ultimate political and religious authority in the Islamic republic, outranking the elected president and overseeing the country’s armed forces, internal security apparatus, judiciary, state media and foreign policy.

After Trump lost the 2020 election, Ayatollah Khamenei said its chaotic aftermath, marked by Trump’s baseless fraud claims, illustrated “the ugly face of liberal democracy” in the United States and made clear the country’s “definite political, civil [and] moral decline.”

When Iran was convulsed by widespread protests after the September 2022 death in custody of a young woman who was arrested by Islamic "morality police" for a dress-code violation, the supreme leader publicly blamed the United States and Israel and backed a deadly crackdown. How, he wondered, could some people "not see the foreign hand" behind the "rioting."

Soleimani's last ride

With his bushy white beard and easy smile, Ayatollah Khamenei cut a more avuncular figure in public than his perpetually scowling but much more revered mentor, and he was known to be fond of Persian poetry and classic Western novels, especially Victor Hugo's "Les Misérables." But like the uncompromising Khomeini, he opposed moderates' efforts to promote political and social reforms domestically and to secure rapprochement with the United States."

Avuncular? Easy smile? Fond of Victor Hugo? 

This is the man, unlike Santa Claus, who spent decades orchestrating terror proxies across the Middle East, crushing his own people under heel, and dreaming aloud of wiping Israel off the map, and the paper of record wants us to know he had literary tastes. It's almost touching, in a macabre way. Almost as if the Washington Post has decided that the appropriate response to the violent end of a man who embodied evil dressed in clerical robes is to polish his halo and murmur about his poetry hobby.

Look, when evil gets its comeuppance, whether it's Soleimani in Baghdad or Khamenei in Tehran, the only surprise should be that it took this long. The rest is just the usual media theater: solemn faces, furrowed brows, and a quiet hope that maybe, just maybe, the bad guys aren't really that bad after all. But they are. And sometimes, thank God, justice arrives with wings and precision-guided munitions.

As Iranians worldwide are saying and will be repeated: thank you, President Trump.

Noted Middle East expert says Iran wants Trump assassinated by Election Day

You may have noticed that former President Donald Trump spoke behind bullet-proof glass at his first outdoor rally after the failed assassination attempt in July. This is a smart move because it has been discovered that the Islamic regime in Iran is trying to kill him before the November 5th Election Day.

[H/T Newsmax.com]

The news of this comes from Dr. Walid Phares, a professor, noted author and Middle East expert.

Dr. Phares was told by multiple government sources across the Mideast of the danger Trump faces and that the Iranian regime has made it clear that it wants to assassinated him by Election Day.

The ayatollahs don't like Trump after he ordered a drone missile strike in Baghdad in January 2020 that killed Qassem Soleimani, who was the head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Naturally, Tehran promised bloody revenge, as is their excuse for everything from leaving the seat up to killing a leader.

Soleimani was a beloved son of Satan, second only to Ayatollah Khamanei.

As the US presidential election draws close, Iran is sweating the big stuff and believe their "growing status as a regional Mideast powerhouse will be at serious risk if the former president returns to the White House," Phares writes. And they make a good point as Trump frequently promised that he will stop Iran's nuclear weapons ambition and defund it with crippling sanctions, if he gets elected. This is the opposite of what Biden did, as he allowed the regime to cash in when sanctions were removed, due to his foreign affairs incompetence and his need to undo all that Trump did to make the world a bit safer.

"Iran is very close to having a nuclear weapon, which would have never happened," Trump said in his keynote address to the Republican National Convention last month in Milwaukee.

"This is a shame ... the damage that this administration has done," Trump correctly pointed out.

Trump blames Biden's puppet master for Iran's nuclear program resurgence and what they have been doing to Israel since October 7.

"Iran was broke. Iran had no money," Trump said during the convention. "Now Iran has $250 billion. They made it all over the last 2 1/2 years. They were broke."

The regime's leaders have made multiple verbal threats on Trump's life.

Last year, IRGC Commander Amir Ali Hajizadeh said on a television program, "We are seeking to, Allah willing, kill Trump and [former Secretary of State Mike] Pompeo."

And just before last month's unsuccessful assassination attempt on Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, the U.S. had received intelligence of a regime-backed plot to kill Trump. The former president knows this and still has the courage to plow on with his campaign, while cowards like Tampon Tim Walz call him the coward.

Getting rid of Trump is Iran's highest priority along with growing their nuclear program. And if they grow it, there will be an Allahu akbar all over the place.

Iran's Rouhani threatens death to Trump 'in a few days'

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, the figurehead leader, Inshallah of the Islamic nation threatened President Trump this week saying that "in a few days, the life of this criminal will end." 

The Iranian knucklehead made the threat in a speech to the Iranian Cabinet as he cited the "martyred" terrorist scumbag Gen. Qassem Soleimani, who was blown to kibbles and bits in an airstrike about a year ago under the order of our POTUS. Aside from his responsibility for killing hundreds of Americans, it was believed Soleimani was planning to kill hundreds more before he was sent packing to his virgins and young boys in Jannah.

In other words, what President Trump did likely saved countless lives that Soleimani was plotting to kill.

An English translation of Rouhani posted online by Iran stated, in part:  

“In a few days, the life of this criminal will end and he will go to the dustbin of history.

“One of the effects of this stupid and disgraceful act, was that Trumpism ended.

“We are very happy about this and we believe that the period after Trump will be a better condition for regional and global stability. As I said after the martyrdom of Martyr Soleimani, I emphasize again that if you cut off Martyr Soleimani’s hand, we will cut off your leg from the region and we will continue the resistance until that day.

“Our nation will not give up until they take revenge on his blood as its right.” 

Hopefully, President-elect Biden along with the legacy media will not assist Iran in this undertaking, although I'm not comfortable with what Kamala Harris might do.

Rouhani accused Trump and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo of “savage assassination,” saying Iran “won’t let them get away” and has “every right to avenge the blood of their popular commander.”

“As long as you are in the region, our revenge has yet to be exacted,” the Iranian president added.

I say as long as Iran wants to avenge the death of that scumbag Soleimani, I propose we avenge the deaths of our 220 U.S. Marines, 18 sailors, 3 soldiers, and 58 French military killed in the 1983 Marine Barracks in Lebanon in which Hezbollah and Iran were responsible.

B-52 Stratofortresses fly over Persian Gulf as Iran threatens "complex attacks" and we threaten to make them toast

Two B-52 bombers, [aka Stratofortresses] flew over a 30-hour nonstop round-trip sortie from the U.S. to the Middle East as a clear warning to Iran as new warnings from that country have been detected, described by a military official as a sign that potential "complex attacks" against Americans are being prepared. This comes on the one-year anniversary of the blowing away of Iranian  terrorist Gen. Qassem Soleimani by a drone attack in Baghdad.

Happy anniversary in Hell, General.

The U.S. Central Command said in a statement that the bombers launched from Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota on Tuesday morning. This marks the third time in the past month and a half U.S. Air Force bombers have flown deterrence missions over the Persian Gulf under fighter escort. The bombers flew through without incident, and Iran had not reacted publicly as of Wednesday morning because they would do so at their own peril.

General Frank McKenzie, commander of U.S. Central Command said, "We do not seek conflict, but no one should underestimate our ability to defend our forces or to act decisively in response to any attack."

A recent U.S. intelligence report says, referring to the Soleimani, that Iran wants to "avenge that killing," as stated by a senior U.S. military official spoking to a small group of reporters ahead of the bomber flight. The official requested anonymity to discuss the sensitive information. 

[H/T Fox News]

This latest intelligence is the "most concerning" since Soleimani got toasted.

The current bomber flight comes one week after President Trump threatened to retaliate against Iran after 21 rockets were launched at the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad on Dec. 20, the largest attack against the sprawling diplomatic compound in the past decade. So far we've done nothing more than grab our crotch and flex our muscles.

The same senior official said they also saw the "potential for other more complex attacks" against Americans in Iraq: "I think it is likely that the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad would be attacked again in some manner."

While there is a range of potential attacks against Americans in the Middle East, the "most worrisome is within Iraq," he, or maybe she, said.

"We see a fair amount of advanced conventional weaponry of different types that has been flowing over the border into Iraq," he or she added. "The threat streams are very real."

Just two days before Christmas, Trump posted photos of what he described as three rockets that failed to launch in the embassy attack and said they were from Iran. Then he laughingly added, "Some friendly health advice to Iran: If one American is killed, I will hold Iran responsible. Think it over." 

The official explained that all of our planning against Iran is "defensive," just as a precaution in case they get froggy and plan to jump. 

But if they do jump, we will unleash a devastating fury, a violent and overwhelming response.  

Funny thing, last month Iran's top nuclear scientist hell-bent on creating a weapon to destroy the United States and Israel, was himself destroyed by a remote-controlled machine gun. The mucky mucks in Tehran blamed Israel for the assassination and because we are close allies with Israel, the official said that "[T]here's a chance that we could be, you know, caught in the middle.

Last year on New Year's Even, the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad was attacked. While no Americans were hurt, a quick reaction force of U.S. Marines were flown in from Kuwait to provide security to the embassy. It was three days later, Jan. 3, that a U.S. drone orbiting Baghdad's international airport that Soleimani along with the Iranian-backed militia leader Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis were terminated. 

Soleimani was the scum responsible for killing hundreds of American troops in the Iraq War, and he was also responsible for a number of rocket attacks against U.S. bases and the embassy in Iraq.

A week ago, the USS Georgia, a guided missile sub, capable of carrying over 150 Tomahawk cruise missiles entered the Persian Gulf. They had aboard a number of Navy SEALs, according to the Navy's Fifth Fleet. The Obama days of sailors on their knees in front of the Iranian sailors were over with President Trump.

Now we will have to wait and see if Biden is wearing knee pads.

As this is being written, the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz is off the coast of Somalia in the Indian Ocean but could come back north to the Arabian Sea to launch attacks from its dozens of F-18 Super Hornets, if needed. We also have a squadron of F-16 jet fighters from Germany at Al Dhafra Air Base in the UAE ready and standing by if things get froggy.

All of this is simply a deterrent and a clear message that if they jump, they will not enjoy the landing.

Iran threatens "hit" on those involved in US killing of Soleimani

Nov. 25, 2019 of Iran Revolutionary Guard Gen. Hossein Salami [on rye] 

AP/Ebrahim Noroozi, File

The IRG’s website on Saturday, Sept. 19, 2020 quoted Salami [with mustard] as saying, “Mr. Trump! Our revenge for martyrdom of our great general is obvious, serious and real.”

Are they kidding? Sure, Iran has a strong military force, but if they believe they can kill our people with impunity while Donald Trump is President, they cannot be serious. This is probably why they're backing Biden.

Salami, the chief of Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard threatened Saturday to go after everyone who had a role in Soleimani's journey to his 72 virgins in January by a U.S. drone strike, totaling him, his car, and a military sidekick, making the world a better, safer place.

President Trump made it clear that Washington would kick ass and take dog tags if Iran tries to take revenge for Qassem Soleimani. Trump tweeted:

“if they hit us in any way, any form, written instructions already done we’re going to hit them 1000 times harder.”

Does anyone think he's not serious?

Trump's tough response came after a report that Iran was plotting to kill the U.S. ambassador to S. Africa in retaliation to blowing Soleimani to smithereens.

“We took out the world’s number one terrorist and the mass murderer of American troops and many, many troops and many people all over the world,” Trump said many, many times. “Qasem Soleimani is dead. He’s dead. Bad guy. Bad guy. Very bad guy.” Bad, very, very bad. Bad guy.

Salami [with a dill pickle on the side] rejected the report of an Iranian plot to assassinate Ambassador Lana Marks, but made clear that Iran intends to avenge the general’s death. "We don't kill women who don't try to kill us. We take them as sex slaves," he said in his defense.

“Do you think we hit a female ambassador in return to our martyred brother?’ Salami said. “We will hit those who had direct and indirect roles. You should know that everybody who had role in the event will be hit, and this is a serious message. We do prove everything in practice.” He then reached between his bandy legs and adjusted his "boys."

Trump has stepped up economic pressure on Iran with sanctions since he pulled the United States out of Iran’s nuclear deal with world powers in 2018.

Tehran has continued to expand its mother of all nuke-load of enriched uranium and pressured other nations to offset the devastation, both financial and nuclear, of U.S. sanctions, while pretending that it does not want to develop a nuclear weapon. The terrorist nation also encouraged world leaders to look at a bright, shiny object he was holding in his greasy hand and don't pay attention to the guys in the lab coats.

Justin Trudeau shakes hands with Iranian terrorists: Canadians become impolite

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is either an oblivious idiot or he's a horrible human being--one or the other--because it didn't dawn on him that shaking hands with an Iranian scumbag terrorist was the wrong thing to do.

The leader of the cold world is facing impolite anger by his fellow countrymen after he was photographed shooting the breeze, shaking hands, and doing the "Obama Bow" to Iran's Foreign Minister Javad Zarif. The thing is, the kissing up came after the terrorist nation of Iran shot down a commercial airplane killing 57 Canadians.

Oops!

Last January Iran shot down a plane after they launched a series of missile attacks at two Iraqi military bases housing American troops. The Iranian response, a form of sword rattling, came after U.S. President Donald Trump blew away terrorist Quds Force general Qassem Soleimani, to the dismay of his fellow terrorists and the U.S. Democratic Party.

Soleimani was in Iran [where he was not supposed to be] trying to stir up anti-American sentiment and organize anti-American terror operations.

At first, Iran denied downing the airliner, but after United States and international intelligence organizations proved the downing was caused by a pair of surface-to-air missiles fired from inside Iran, they finally issued a statement taking responsibility. Of course, they blamed both missile launches on "human error," but that's highly doubtful as the Quds Force is not composed of actual humans.

More than 150 passengers perished in the attack which Iran called an "unforgivable mistake."

The U.S. Democratic Party forgave them along with Justin Trudeau, it seems.

There were 57 Canadians aboard the Ukrainian Airlines plane, headed to Kiev, Ukraine, where they planned to catch a connecting flight to Toronto, according to the BBC.

“The plane was bound for the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, [aka Kiev] and many on board had a connecting flight to Toronto, Canada’s largest city and a transit hub,” the British outlet reported, identifying why so many Canadians were killed in the attack. “Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has said that, all told, 138 people on that flight were en route to Canada.”

At the time of the attack, Trudeau insisted that he would demand “closure, accountability, transparency and justice” from the Iranians. By justice he meant that he would force Zarif to tolerate his poor jokes and shake his hand.

However, last week, at a conference in Munich, Germany, Trudeau seemed to cozy up with the Iranian delegation, according to GlobalNews.ca, [mainly because he's a politician and a liar, but I repeat myself].

“Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is facing criticism over new photographs showing him shaking hands with Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif,” the outlet reported. “The meeting on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference on Friday quickly sparked criticism online given that Iran shot down a passenger plane last month near Tehran killing all 176 on board, including 57 Canadians. Since then, it has refused to hand over the black boxes recovered from the crash site.”

Trudeau, who has fallen under criticism for failing to treat President Trump with due respect, defended his congenial interaction with the Iranians when asked about it by reporters, even as Iranian state television reportedly played the handshake off as a sign of forgiveness.

“I made a promise to families in Canada to do everything I could to make sure that they get answers, that we have a full and complete investigation, that we understand exactly what happened,” Trudeau told reporters. “I went by to impress upon the foreign minister of Iran how important it is that we work together.” And he hoped that they could be friends.

Not everyone was impressed with Trudeau’s thoughtless behavior and abject stupidity.

“Not a good look to see PM Trudeau with smiling FM Zarif of Iran after Canadians killed at the hands of Iranian incompetence and malice on Ukrainian plane- not to mention the innocent Iranian protestors‘ killed,” one expert on Iranian-Canadian relations tweeted.

And, GlobalNews.ca reports, families of the plane crash victims are “furious.”

The Canadian delegation tried to wave off the controversy, suggesting that Trudeau was forceful in private meetings, demanding that Iran turn over the flight’s black boxes to international officials, but they offered no proof of Trudeau’s position and truth be told, Trudeau is a wuss and a former snowboard instructor.

Like every other leftist finger-pointer, Trudeau did have some harsh words for at least one person he holds responsible for the airplane being shot down: President Trump.

Back in January, the Andy Kaufman lookalike pinned Iran's "human error" squarely on Trump's shoulders, because whenever anything in any part of the world goes wrong, no matter who is at fault, they blame Trump. And normal people [those of us without Trump Derangement Syndrome] are tired of their bs.

“If there were no tensions, if there was no escalation recently in the region, those Canadians would be right now home with their families,” Trudeau said.

Soleimani deserved to die. He killed tens of thousands both directly and indirectly. Osama bin Laden also deserved to die for the same reason. The only difference in the reaction is due to who made the call. Anyone who is not in a coma knows that.

Rockets fired on Iraqi airbase: 4 Iraqis wounded

Four servicemen were injured Sunday after 6 rockets targeted Balad Air Base north of Baghdad. American trainers had been on that base until recently, Iraqi officials said.

Some of the rockets fell on a restaurant inside the base, located some 50 miles north of Baghdad, the officials added. No Iranian group immediately claimed responsibility but Iraq is positive that the rockets did not come from Israel.

There were no Americans on the air base at the time of the attack.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo tweeted:

“Outraged by reports of another rocket attack on an Iraqi airbase,” he tweeted. “I pray for the speedy recovery of the injured and call on the government of Iraq to hold those responsible for these attacks accountable.”

In a second tweet he added:

“These continued violations of Iraq’s sovereignty by groups not loyal to the Iraqi government must end.”

Technically, if the rockets came from another country, this would be considered an act of war. The attack came just several days after Iran fired ballistic missiles at Iraqi air bases Ain al-Asad and Irbil in response to the U.S. killing of Iranian terrorist and scumcrumpet extraordinaire, Cassem Soleimani.

Democrat or Republican? You make the call

Previously, Balad Air Base hosted American trainers, advisers and a company providing maintenance services for F-16 aircraft.

These limited strikes by Iran appear to be a show of bravado after we blew away their head terrorist, much to the sadness of the U.S. Democratic Party.

Currently, Soleimani's comely daughter is calling for revenge for the smithereening of her father.

Iraqi journalist, cameraman 'assassinated' covering protests: Buttigieg may blame Trump

An Iraqi journalist and his cameraman were shot and killed by unknown gunmen on Friday as they covered the anti-government protests in the southern city of Basra, officials say. 

"But would this have happened, would there even have been an airline being shot down, followed by these protests, if President Trump hadn't gone and killed the beloved, and highly revered Cassem Soleimani?" presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg would have asked if he could get away with his "butterfly effect" twisted logic.

I was planning to write a satire on this true story but because it's so horrible and tragic, it would be inappropriate. But this is the way the left is going after President Trump . . . this time. They blame everything on him and if he kills a terrorist, well then that guy is okay in their book.

The mentally challenged Joy Behar cheered when she learned that white nationalist Richard Spencer no longer supports President Trump and will not vote for him. Behar's audience, apparently composed mostly of mouth-breathers, cheered along with her, never realizing that they were glad that a hate-filled white supremacist scumbag did not support Trump and they supported the scumbag. 

A knee-jerk reaction from a room full of jerks.

Anyway, back to the true story: our U.S. Embassy in Baghdad confirmed the "assassination" of Ahmen Abdel Samad, an actual journalist [i.e., not Jim Acosta and the CNN gang] with Iraqi cable news outlet Dijla TV, and his cameraman, Safaa Ghali, in a statement on Saturday.

Samad was found dead in his car outside a police station with a gunshot wound to the head, according to The Associated Press. Graphic video of Samad slumped over in the car with a wound to his head was posted to Dijla TV’s website. It also showed what appeared to be three bullet holes in the front door of the car.

Ghali was rushed to a hospital in critical condition, but later died.

The embassy condemned the killings as “deplorable” and “cowardly.”

“The ongoing assassinations, kidnappings, harassment, and intimidation of members of the press, social media activists, and pro-reform activists in Iraq by armed groups cannot continue to go unpunished,” the embassy said, refusing to put the blame on Trump.

The embassy said the Iraqi government is tasked with upholding the right to freedom of expression, protect journalists and ensure the safety of demonstrators without fear of repercussions.

“This can only happen if the perpetrators are found and brought to justice,” the embassy said.

It remains unclear who or which group carried out the killings, but you can bet their wives are forced to cover their heads to comply with sharia and protect their modesty.

Samad had recently criticized Iraqi security forces and Iran in social media posts, but it's still unclear who killed him.

Hours before his death, he posted a video critical of how Iraqi security forces arrested protesters in Basra but did not arrest or beat those protesting in front of the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists.

Days earlier, he tweeted that Iran was using the comely daughter of Gen. Qassem Soleimani, the terrorist who was killed in a U.S. airstrike earlier this month, to incite vengeance.

Soleimani's comely daughter

“Iran they are taking advantage of everything for the proxy war,” he wrote, failing to blame Donald Trump.

Iranian MP threatens White House attack

Iranian MP Abolfazl Abutorabi [his friends call him "AA"] supposedly threatened to go after the actual White House after President Trump promised that there would be severe consequences if Iran doesn't stop escalating hostilities with the United States.

The statement by Abutorabi came after a question as to how Iran should react to the death of their head terrorist Maj. Gen. Qassem Soleimani, who was blown to bite size pieces by an American drone airstrike, causing him to go all to pieces, The Independent reported.

"We can attack the White House itself, we can respond to them on the American soil. We have the power, and God willing we will respond in an appropriate time," Abutorabi said, but the God willing part sounded more like "Inshallah."

Abutorabi called Soleimani's death "a declaration of war," and that a swift, strong response was necessary. Many Americans call the death of an American and wounding of 4 military personnel and the subsequent attack on the American Embassy, the initial act of war.

"When someone declares war, do you want to respond to the bullets with flowers? They will shoot you in the head," he said. 

No, we will most likely drone your sorry butts with Hellfire rockets, but that's okay. Had he ever seen one of those projectiles, he would be with Soleimani right now.

Following the terrorist's death, Iranian Supreme Criminal and Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said "harsh retaliation is waiting for the criminals whose filthy hands spilled his blood." He was just kidding because he knows that if he goes to far, he will be walking around without a head.

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani also promised to "take revenge for this heinous crime," but he had to say that because he's Khamenei's sock puppet.

The Independent's international correspondent Borzou Daragahi intimated that Abutorabi is all bark and no bite, doubting that Iran would dare attack us on our soil. Abutorabi is known for talking tough, but when you get to know him, he's a pussycat who sleeps with a nightlight.

In fact, the Iranians don't have the military capabilities of striking the U.S. with missiles, and the ones they have are about as accurate as Stevie Wonder skeet shooting.

Over the weekend, President Trump issued a severe threat of his own, claiming that he has "52 Iranian sites" in mind as potential targets should Iran take any further action. 

One site for each American that had been held captive by the Iranians in 1979.

Prissy Chrissy Hayes says Trump shouldn't be believed about Soleimani's threat to US

Misanthropes Spouting Nothing But Crap (MSNBC) host Chrissy Hayes says that there is no reason to trust President Trump's claim that the terrorist Quds leader Qassem Soleimani posed an "imminent threat" to America.

Hayes, who currently identifies as a man, argued that the administration can't be trusted because like all presidents before him, Trump has told lies in the past but Hayes never did.

"There is absolutely no reason for anyone in the U.S. to credit anything the president or his administration says about matters of life and death and war and peace until it is demonstratively verified. Full stop," the so-called reporter said Friday.

Hayes' bloviating came after the administration said that the now dead terrorist was plotting to take American lives in Iraq and killed him in an act of self-defense. Doing so, the administration argued, was a form of de-escalation -- a claim Hayes called ridiculous.

"I'm sorry but no one can honestly believe that," Hayes said. Hayes pointed to Iranian leaders vowing to retaliate, and the State Department's own advisory telling Americans to "immediately" leave Iraq.

But even if what Chrissy says is true, it isn't as if Soleimani wasn't directly responsible for the deaths of over 600 Americans, 1,000 Britishers, and even Muslims.

Soleimani commanded the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Quds Force [IRGC-QF] since 1998. The IRGC-QF, as everyone knows, is the terror arm of the Iranian regime and whose job it is to plan and carry out terrorism and military operations outside Iran.

Under Gen. Soleimani’s command, the IRGC-QF has fueled destabilizing sectarian conflicts throughout the Middle East for decades and even now continues to wage an illegal campaign of violence, terrorism and assassinations.

With Soleimani's leadership, oversight and guidance, the IRGC-QF planned and carried out terrorist attacks across six continents as well as in the USA, and has been designated a Foreign Terrorist Organization by the USA and Soleimani himself as a Specifically-Designated Global Terrorist.

The guy was directly responsible for arming, funding and training proxy groups in Iraq, Bahrain, Syria, Yemen, Afghanistan and elsewhere, which have led to the death and suffering of tens of thousands of people, along with hundreds of Americans. These Soleimani-supported proxies are known to kill innocent men, women and children and prolong their suffering.

What do you think he was doing in Iraq, Chrissy? He had, in the past, provided weapons to militias there that undermine the sovereignty of Iraq and threaten Iraq's security forces.

Soleimani is dead, Chrissy. Screw him and screw you for attacking the only U.S. President with the balls to end his disgusting life.

Rest in pieces, Qassem.

Oh Soleimani, Putin on the Ritz

The buildup of Russian presence in Syria began a few days after Putin met with Qassem Soleimani in late July. Soleimani, as you might know, is Iran's Quds Force commander and Iran's biggest terror guru. If they ever make a movie about him, he should be played by Sean Connery

It was reported by Fox News that Putin and Soleimani spoke about a joint military plan for Syria as it becomes clear that "The Russians are no longer advising, but co-leading the war in Syria," as one intelligence official explained.

The Quds Force is the international arm of Iran's Revolutionary Guard who exports terrorism to Iran's proxies. 

Al-Qud is the Arabic name for the city of Jerusalem--Iran believes the Jews have no right to the city and pray to the moon god, Allah, every day to assure him that they will take the city back and kill the Jews in the process. Thus, the purpose of the Quds force is to totally destroy Israel and its people. 

Religion of peace? I don't think so, at least according to my definition.

Fox News has learned that 50 Russian marines, 100 housing units and armored vehicles were delivered to Syria via huge Antonov-124 Condor military transport aircraft and 2 landing ships. Furthermore, Russia has provided them with 1,000 Russian combat troops, aircraft, intelligence and communication facilities which are capable of deploying a powerful military offensive force.

Slimy Soleimani was in Moscow from July 24-26, merely 10 days after the nuclear debacle was announced. He was supposed to be banned from traveling out of Iran, but that ban was as effective as the rest of our deal with the number one exporter of terrorism.

The fact that Donald Trump did not know who Soleimani is should be troubling to conservatives (but not liberals because they're too busy being angry at conservatives for being upset about Benghazi and Hillary). 

In Russia, presidents assassinate you

It's wonderful, fantastic and great to know how to go about creating jobs, building a wall with Mexico paying for it, closing deals and calling out women whose looks should discount them as serious contenders for the presidency. But candidates should be up to speed about foreign affairs by now. At this point in time. Immediately.

If a candidate doesn't know about Islamic terrorism and the players in that deadly game, how will that candidate know if he or she has the ability to handle the global problem?

Isn't it better to walk into the People's House with an idea of where you're going from there?
