Sanctions on Iran to be imposed by US

Now that Iran has for at least the twelfth time violated UN resolution 2231, and Donald Trump has replaced Barack Obama as president, the United States is expected to announce new sanctions on multiple Iranian entities will be imposed on the largest terrorist-funding nation. The exact nature of these sanctions may be announced as early as Friday.

Any new sanctions would not violate the Iran nuclear deal of 2015, but would be related directly to terrorism-related activities and ballistic missile-related activities that are under separate U.S. executive orders that are in existence. 

Earlier in the week, national security adviser Michael Flynn put Iran "on notice." This was echoed on Thursday by President Trump and we have made it clear that the U.S. will act against Iran unless it ceases ballistic missile testing and supporting the Houthi rebels in Yemen.

Trump tweeted, "Iran has been formally PUT ON NOTICE for firing a ballistic missile. Should have been thankful for the terrible deal the U.S. made with them!"

Disappointed!

The President wrote another tweet saying: "Iran was on its last legs and ready to collapse until the U.S. came along and gave it a life-line in the form of the Iran Deal: $150 billion."

President Trump had the money figure wrong--the Obama badministration gave Iran access to about $100 billion of its own money that had been frozen in foreign bank accounts. We did not give them any of our own money.

On Wednesday, when Flynn said: "As of today, we are officially putting Iran on notice," he had accused them of threatening our allies and spreading instability throughout the Middle East and faulting the Obama badministration for doing too little.

Flynn wasn't specific by what he meant by "on notice," but senior Trump officials said they were seriously considering a "range of options." These include economic measures and greater support for Iran's adversaries. It is not clear what, if any, military measures are being considered.

Iran's acting commander of the Revolutionary Guard, General Hossein Salami told Tasnim news agency that Iran will "never change direction by a world power's demand, and our missile and non-missile power will be updated every day."

He made no mention of the return of the Twelfth Imam and the Iranian people's willingness to die to speed up 'the end of times.'

A majority of Shi'ite Muslims believe in the "12th Imam" born in 868 A.D. and that he was place by God into hiding (known as occultation) until the day of judgment. Many Shi'ites refer to the 12 Imam as the Mahdi (Arabic for "messiah" or "guide").

Though Islam cannot say when the 12th Imam will make his grand entrance again, they think when he comes, he will end the misery of his people.

Ray Tallman, director of the school of intercultural studies at Golden Gate Seminary said the major eschatological question for Shi'ite Muslims is when the Mahdi's return will take place, and many believe the time is near.

Former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad not only believes in the return of the Mahdi, but that the return is the responsibility of the Iranian government to prepare the country for his return.

In spite of the fact that Shi'ites and Sunnis frequently battle each other, they both have common efforts to destroy Israel, which is a critical part of Islam taking over the world and ushering in the Mahdi.

So you can imagine the Iranians are not afraid of developing nuclear weaponry and using it. In fact, many of the more religious Shi'ites welcome the idea of doing so to bring the 12th Imam out of the "religious closet,' so to speak.

What the Trump administration is doing is totally necessary to weaken this crazy nation of wannabe Paradise-dwellers. They are putting them on notice telling them they need to rething their behavior. 

We are not going to stand for it anymore and we're not going to be predictable, like the guy who came before Trump and took his red crayons with him when he left.

Portland's Anti-Trump protest honcho charged with sexual abuse of boy

The person behind the anti-Trump protests in Portland, Oregon has been taken into custody on charges of sexual abuse to a teenage boy.

Micah Rhodes is the leader of Portland's Resistance a movement that led to disorderly anti-Trump protests. The 23-year-old alleged child abuser was in court Monday.

According to KGW, sexual abuse accusations are statutory, non-forced rape, but Rhodes is a registered sex offender and a rather offensive person in general. He was previously booked for disorderly conduct during the anti-Trump protests after the election.

He was arrested at a protest on January 25th, interviewed by PPB Sex Crimes detectives and admitted having sex with an underage boy. He allegedly met the boy on gay dating app Grindr. The boy told police that Rhodes knew he was a minor before they had sexual intercourse.

Rhodes said in a detective's affidavit that he had "reservations about getting in trouble" for having sex with a minor, but what the heck, he proceeded anyway. This was in 2015 when the teen, who claimed the sex was consensual, was 17. 

But boys weren't his only victims. Along with these accusations against Rhodes, KOIN.com reported that he is accused of having sex with an underage girl, which he admitted, while he was being held on January 25th.

The girl said that Rhodes knew at the time she was underage, but he tends not to think with anything above his shoulders.

Imam debunks Michigan man's claim that travel ban killed his mom

Dearborn, MI -- A Muslim man who claimed his mother died due to President Trump's travel ban that prevented her from returning to the US for medical treatment was merely using taqiyya (i.e., lying) to the media, according to the imam of a local mosque.

Mike (possibly an Americanization for Mohammad) Hager told TV stations in Boston and Detroit he tried to bring his mother back from Iraq last Friday but she wasn't allowed to enter the U.S. because of the Trump travel order restricting entry from seven countries known for spawning terrorists.

He also told Fox2: "Since I lost my mom I've been on heavy medication--I can't even sleep. I did not make anything up."

The last part should have been the clue that he was lying.

But Imam Husham Al-Hussainy said that Hager's mother actually died January 22nd, five days before the travel restrictions went into effect. The imam told the news station prayers for the woman at the Karbalaa Islamic Foundation Center in Dearborn.

So it looks like "Mike" won't be getting compensated for his anti-depressants or be able to sue Trump for the travel ban that he said killed his mom.

In fact, Hager posted on Facebook a memorial statement for his mother on January 22nd which he since deleted.

Al-Hussainy said he first learned that the woman died after members of his mosque and family's Facebook posts. A funeral was held for the woman at a nearby mosque last weekend.

Hager's claim was that he was a U.S. citizen but his mother and other family members who traveled to Iraq were not. The others were not allowed to return, he claimed.

How disgusting of anyone who would use the death of a parent to further a geopolitical and religious cause.

But it's comforting to know that there are imams and other Muslims who are patriotic.

Sarah Silverman calls for military overthrow of POTUS

Sarah "Cocky from the Tooley" Silverman has called for a military coup against the President of the United States. It doesn't sound like a joke because even when Silverman tells jokes, it doesn't sound like a joke. Most of her "humor" is based on her preoccupation with bowel movements.

Silverman, a political science genius, tweeted to her nearly 10 million fans of toilet humor, using all capital letters, to "wake up & join the resistance."

She then added: "Once the military is w us fascists get overthrown. Mad king & his handlers go bye bye."

The anarchistic tweeting came amid violent riots that broke out at UC Berkeley when Breitbart News editor Milo Yiannopoulos had his First Amendment rights snatched from him and he had to leave in order to avoid violence directed at him.

Judd Apatow, a director known for "Knocked Up" and "Trainwreck" said in a tweet he soon after deleted: "This is just the beginning. When will all the fools who are still supporting Trump realize what is at stake?"

Filmmaker Lexi Alexander, who wouldn't actually get physically involved with what she wants others to do on her behalf tweeted in defense of the riot telling her minions to "punch Nazis," "riot when your college invites a Nazi," and "set it all on fire." 

Sounds a lot like big Michael Moore.

Interestingly enough, all of these people live insulated, protected lives and never get their own hands dirty. Why should they when they can get naive socialists do be their loyal servants?

They still can't wrap their small minds around the idea that Trump, like him or not, is the President for the next 4 years. Calling for his overthrow is not merely unpatriotic, it's anarchistic. 

Patriotism isn't believing your country can never be wrong--it's knowing it can and still loving it. If you think it's never wrong, then it isn't patriotism, it's blindness.

I don't know whether what these people are saying is considered to be grounds for legal action by the federal government--we still have freedom of speech, unless you're Milo Yiannopoulos or Ben Shapiro, or any conservative with a point of view that the left cannot debate against without countering it with violence or name-calling.

I don't agree with just about everything Yiannopoulos spouts, but he has the right to spout it. 

The intolerance of our core beliefs by the left is palpable and simultaneously ironic and hypocritical.

BREAKING: Milo Yianoppoulos UC Berkeley speech canceled due to violent protest

Breitbart News editor Milo Yiannopoulos was set to deliver a speech at UC Berkeley but at around 7 p.m. local time, but by 6 p.m. Yiannopoulos's First Amendment rights were violated by violent protesters who caused the event to be cancelled.

The school was allowing him to speak if the College Republican organization agreed to pay for extra security, which they did (on short notice by the school), but never asked the protesters, who announced that they were going to be there, to do the same.

Fires were started by masked anarchists, who wore black and had backpacks when they emerged from the crowd.

Windows were smashed, smoking things were thrown and fireworks were aimed at the building in which he was to speak. Prior to the event, metal barricades were put in place to keep protesters from rushing the building.

The anarchists wore masks and were dressed in black and had backpacks.

Yiannopoulos had to be extracted from the area for his own safety.

The protest smelled of Soros or someone paying for out-of-town people who are not part of UC Berkeley to be there to cause trouble.

"This is what tolerance looks like at UC Berkeley," Mike Wright said, a College Republican member. As he spoke to the media, someone threw red paint on him.

Some protesters argued that hate speech isn't free speech. But hate speech is a mind crime based on how the person accusing someone of hate speech wants to define it. The First Amendment wasn't written to protect speech we all love to hear--it was written for speech we hate or don't want to hear. 

But UC Berkeley, once the bastion of free speech, is now the intolerant campus who is stifling it.

It's sad that we now live in a country where freedom of speech is fast eroding when the left doesn't want to hear the message. It reminds one of a religion that kills people whose message they too don't want to hear.

Tillerson confirmed by Senate

Former ExxonMobil executive, Rex Tillerson, has been confirmed by the Senate Wednesday as the GOP is sprinting toward the finish line, running past Democratic resistance to fill the Trump Cabinet. 

The vote was 56-43, and if  you do the math, it means that five Democrats voted for Trump's pick.

As the day began, Democrats attempted to delay the confirmations but Republicans moved fast to advance three nominees to a final vote.

Jeff Sessions also won the Senate Judiciary Committee vote as it went along party lines for a 11-to-9 approval for Attorney General. Democrats dragged out the proceeding Tuesday and the committee advanced Sessions to the floor for the vote.

Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) said, "No doubt we have the votes. It's going to get done."

Obstructionist Democrats have tried to hold up several Trump Cabinet picks using concerns over their records as a ploy, as well as President Trump's new policies and recent executive orders on immigration.

The Republican-led Senate Finance Committee did an 'end around' Senate Democrats' efforts to slow Trump's picks for Treasury Secretary and Health and Human Services Secretary when they tried to boycott the votes.

Committee Chairman Orrin Hatch (R-UT) suspended committee rules on the number of members required to vote, allowing GOP members to vote in favor of Steve Mnuchin as Treasury Secretary and Rep. Tom Price (R-GA) to serve as Health and Human Services Secretary. Price, by the way, is a medical doctor and knows a thing or two about this area.

Sen. Ron Wyden (Duh-OR) the committee's wimpiest Democrat cried that Hatch wasn't playing fair and broke the rules. Both he and Chuck Schumer retreated to the Democrat's "safe space" located at the third stall in senate lavatory.

Seriously, this feels so good to give back to Democrats what they gave to Republicans. Hearing them cry brings to mind a song by the "Rolling Stones" which is "You Can't Always Get What You Want" but if you cry, sometimes you get what you need.

"What you had was a rump group that met in violation of Democratic values to confirm two ethically-challenged nominees," 'Whining Weepy Wyden' whined to Fox News. "There's no question about that."

Of course there's a question about that. If you're going to boycott normal protocol because Clinton, your leftist felon lost, then the wheels of government are going to run you over, you whiny libtard.

Sessions, Price and Mnuchin will almost definitely get the required simple majority needed for confirmation due to the GOP majority of 52 senators versus the losers that only have 48 due to an American population that's fed up with their nonsense.

Democrats were able to temporarily thwart a Senate confirmation vote on Scott Pruitt for the Environmental Protection Agency by boycotting a key committee meeting.

The operant word is "temporarily."

Whoopi Goldberg sees Trump as Taliban

Whoopi Goldberg of The View, sees no difference between the Taliban and President Trump. She also sees no difference in mucous and bubble gum.

The leftist Goldberg said on The View Tuesday that she doesn't see the difference between Trump's values and those of the Taliban.

Trump wants to make America great again. The Taliban wants to make America a caliphate.

Trump wants to protect our borders. The Taliban wants to kill infidels, many of whom live in the West, and they're willing to commute.

"We have had a leader who's repeatedly demeaned women, wants to defund organization that benefit women, calling on the media to shut up, specifically wants to give preferential treatment based on religion, are these values really much different from the Taliban's?" she asked.

She obviously knows nothing, absolutely nothing about Islamic terrorism. 

Defunding organizations "that benefit women," but kill their unwanted babies, is a moral issue,  a asset the Taliban is sorely lacking.

And to say Trump "wants to give preferential treatment based on religion" is no less ignorant than most of the idiocy that she spouts.  The only preference he gives to any religions is by helping protect them from Islamic jihad terrorism that would kill them.

"The Whoopi Cushion" added that she believes some of the language of Trump's travel ban is disrespectful towards women but couldn't provide even one example.

"If you're saying to the media shut up--that's what [the Taliban] do. Maybe they didn't start out chopping people's heads off, maybe they started out differently . . . Because we're saying to people, here are our American values, and then we're saying on the same token stuff that sounds exactly like the stuff we're fighting."

She claimed that President Trump is giving "preferential treatment for Christians" and "forgetting the other religions out there."

So which religions is Trump forgetting? 

Is it the Jews in Israel? Did Goldberg complain when Obama failed to veto the UN resolution to sanction the Jewish State? 

Is it the Muslims? Did Trump ban Muslims from entering the United States?

No. If he did, then what about the biggest Islamic state of Indonesia (where Obama went to madrassa)? Then there's Saudi Arabia, Jordan and other Islamic countries who aren't banned. In fact, the only countries temporarily banned are those that Obama himself recommended.

Did Goldberg say anything at the time?

She's just a low-information hypocrite.

Trump's order causes showdown between 'sanctuary' cities & states

President Trump plans to cut of millions of dollars in federal funds to cities who are not following the law of the land. Known as "sanctuary cities" they protect illegal immigrants by failing to cooperate with federal authorities. In other words, they provide sanctuary to illegal criminal immigrants, but they don't provide a sanctuary to their victims.

Trump's goal of ending sanctuary cities may be better carried out by GOP governors who share that goal.

"State governments can have a lot more control over local municipalities than the federal government does," Angela Morrison, professor at Texas A&M University's School of Law told Fox News.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is vowing to "remove from office" any local official who promotes sanctuary cities. He announced the legislation last week amid a dispute between Abbott and Travis County Sherrif Sally Hernandez. She said she would reduce her department's cooperation with federal officials when they request an inmate be deported.

The governor threatened to cut off about $2 million in state funding to Hernandez's office if she refuses to follow the law.

"The power of the purse is going to be big because the state can tie funding to existing laws," said Morrison.

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, a Trump adviser, backs Trump's campaign promise and he may also cut funding to local governments who provide "sanctuary" policies but has thus far not revealed what he would do.

"I agree with [Trump]. I took the same position when I ran for president," Christie said on his monthly radio show. "Elected officials can't be allowed to pick and choose which laws they choose to comply with."

But Morrison said that New Jersey adheres to home rule which gives local municipalities much more power in administrating laws and would make it more difficult for Christie to enforce Trump's order.

Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner is a Republican who appears to be missing his "man parts" as he refuses to say publicly where he stands on the issue of sanctuary cities. Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, a flaming liberal who was Obama's chief of staff and hates Trump, called on Rauner to say where he stands.

"We're going to stay a sanctuary city," Emanuel said. "Wherever you came from, you're welcome here." [Whatever you do while you're here, robbery, murder, rape, whatever, we will protect you.]

Boston Mayor Martin Walsh, a fierce leftist, said he would do everything in his power to protect Boston residents living in the country 'without authorization' even if that means using City Hall, but not his home, as a shelter.

"If people want to live here, they'll live here. They can use my office. They can use any office in this building," he said, but he refuses to allow them to move into his neighborhood.

"Washington is advancing the most destructive and un-American threat on America during this campaign," he added. "The latest executive orders and statements by the president are a direct attack on Boston's people, Boston's strength and Boston's values."

Republican Gov. Charles Baker, much like Rauner, only sings in falsetto. He claims that he doesn't want Massachusetts to become a "sanctuary state," he believes cities and towns "should be allowed to make their own decisions," because then he doesn't have to grow a pair and take a stand.

It seems as if the left will only be happy when the United States of America becomes the Untied States of America and the country loses it sovereignty.
