Germany Thumbs Its Nose at U.S. Efforts to Ensure Freedom of Navigation for International Shipping
The German government has declined to participate in a U.S.-led coalition in the Persian Gulf. The purpose of the coalition is aimed keeping the shipping lanes open. That would ensure the uninterrupted flow of oil. It will combat Iran’s repeated hijacking attempts. Iran and Britain have been engaged in a tit for tat with international … Read more
You’re Fracking Welcome – Downed Drones, Seized Tankers, Oil Prices Barely Budge
The left hates fracking. They’ve gone to great lengths to stop it, from legislation to movies funded by Saudi Oil Sheiks to mobs and rants and scam science. And had they succeeded the recent disputes with Iran would have driven gas prices through the roof.
Is Maxine Waters Iran’s “Baghdad Bob?”
The California Congresswoman known as Maxine Waters likes to say outrageous things. But how about parroting the narratives of the world’s leading sponsor of global terrorism? Yup!
US ‘Attacks’ Iran: Uses Cyber Strike to Disable Missile Systems
There’s more than one way to disable an enemy. And while Mr. Trump decided not to approve a physical missile strike in the interest of protecting lives, he did authorize a cyber strike on Command and Control Infrastructure.
Chinese Missiles in Saudi Arabia?
Discovery or announcement? Multiple reports say Saudi Arabia has significantly escalated its ballistic missile program. The advance has come through acquisition of missiles and technology. Assuming the story is true it is not a development that moves the region closer to peace. It is a development threatening decades of US efforts to limit such proliferation … Read more
MSNBC is Already Pushing Pro-Iran Propaganda
I’m not interested in a war with Iran. I’m hoping nothing happens to start one. But MSNBC is ready to pick sides, and it’s not with the United States, at least not under President Trump.
UN Adds Iran to the Commission on the Status of Women (The UN’s Women’s Rights Commission)
The World Economic Forum…ranked Iran 140 out of 144 countries for gender parity. Other studies give Iran low marks for women’s rights and privileges. Morality police patrol the country. So, it only makes sense that the UN would put Iran on the Women’s Global Human Rights Commission.
Trump Donates Portion of Salary to Department of Homeland Security
Democrats like to talk about giving back to the government, You know, the thing to which we all belong. But in the background, they are hiding their assets and hoarding their money. By giving they mean some of their time for which they expect to be generously compensated.

Opposition to Trump on Iran (As a Reminder) Looks a Lot Like Support for Evil
There are many defenders of Mr. Obama’s Iran deal, most of them Democrats. A deal that gave the Mullah’s moolah, and unearned legitimacy. When Donald Trump reversed that deal the Washington Political establishment snapped. The usual suspects, the press, pundits, politicians, went nuclear.
UN Court says Treaty Makes US Sanctions Illegal – Trump Admin. Dumps Treaty
The big news that doesn’t have the words Kavanaugh or Ford in it, is a declaration by the United Nations International Court of Justice. It claims that planned U.S. Sanctions on the world’s leading sponsor of terrorism are illegal and that they must ease them. Why? A 1955 Treaty with Iran.
The Trump administration’s response. We’re terminating the treaty.
Iran: Where Obama Appeased Trump Brings the Pain
Here’s something you probably missed in your diet of Cable News, if you can even stomach that stuff. Since Trump dumped the Iran deal and introduced sanctions, Iranian currency has lost 40% of its value.
The rial has lost 40 per cent of its value since last month, when President Donald Trump pulled out of Iran’s 2015 nuclear accord and announced draconian sanctions on Tehran.
These include an attempt to shut down the international sale of Iranian oil, Tehran’s main source of revenue, a threat that has cast a chill over the economy.
So is it likely that Obama knew about this and STILL gave Iran billions of dollars to ‘cement’ his ‘legacy’
Answer: yes. I’m betting that everything else was Shiny Objects and Obama only wanted to give the mullahs that planeload of currency:
Iranian officials, in a first, have admitted to facilitating the 9/11 terrorist attacks in the U.S. by secretly aiding the free travel of al Qaeda operatives who eventually went on to fly commercial airliners into the Twin Towers in New York City, according to new remarks from a senior Iranian official.

Obama, O’Malley, GrokWATCH, etc..
In this segment we touch on Obama’s Iran policy, our invite to Martin O’Malley, how you can write for GraniteGrok, and the goals of the new 603 Alliance. Hint: to prevent some establishment RINO from winning the NH Primary.
Bugs Obama, Yosemite Assad, Wile Iranians and Red Lines
The Charlatan in Chief blustered and threw down a red line last August to the Assad regime on chemical weapons.
Or so it seemed to his fans at the time.
He went forth to the adoring throngs with their laptops, tech Pad du jours, and cameras clutched and at the ready. Their attention hung on every bleated word as it made its way from the beguiling and Smartest President Evertm into their pixels and ink. Emotionally woozy, the reporters didn’t follow up for clarification; they just transmitted the text before the vapors overwhelmed them. “Ooooh, he’s so brave. He mentioned a red line. Did you hear that? He put down a red line… ‘scuse me I need to head to the restroom.”
Well, what he actually said was (emphasis mine):
Iran’s New Stealth Fighter – So Stealthy It’s As If It Doesn’t Even Exist
Iran announced that it had entered the Stealth Fighter club with the introduction of the Quaher 313. But after reviewing the pictures provided by the Iranian Government and FARS news agency the Fighter Jet enthusiasts agree with King Arthur’s trusty steed, ‘It’s only a model.’
From John Reed at Foriegn Policy Magazine (Free Subscription Required):
When I first looked at the plane Saturday morning, I could tell it was bogus. Look at the photos of the cockpit: there’s barely any wiring. In fact, it looks like the Iranians dumped some rudimentary flight controls and an ejection seat into a shell molded in what they thought were stealthy angles.
Clinton a “Finest” Secretary of State? Ridiculous!!
President Obama says Secretary Clinton has been one of our country’s finest Secretaries of State. Huh?? Is the President now smoking something other than cigarettes?
Is the world safer, more peaceful, are threats reduced, is our country more respected around the world, are people more free than they were when Hillary took over as Secretary of State? No, no, no, no and no!
The Middle East is in turmoil and the power of radical Muslims is increasing (with our help!!). Non-aggressive governments in Egypt and Libya have been replaced, with Hillary’s and Obama’s help, with anti-American governments that want to destroy Israel. The Obama administration armed al Queda affiliates in Libya and Syria.
