Treasury Secretary: Don’t Worry, Most Of Money We Give Iran Won’t Fund Terror
by Shifra on May 5, 2015Whew, what a relief! Looks like we really dodged a bullet with this Iran “peace deal” thing. So, not to worry: We give Iran $50B as a “signing bonus,” they only use a “little bit” of the money to sponsor terrorism around the world.

During Lew’s remarks, he said that Iran will be under “enormous pressure” to improve its domestic economy, adding that funding terrorism is a “relatively small”...

Video: Netanyahu Responds to Hostile White House Tweet
by Shifra on March 9, 2015Kudos to PM Benjamin Netanyahu for continuing to praise Obama in the face of outrageous WH Bibi-bashing. And shame on our thin-skinned POTUS, who could have put on his “big-boy pants” and met with Netanyahu. Instead, he chose to sulk, and he encouraged Dems to boycott the speech. And after Netanyahu’s speech, the WH National Security Council put out this tweet: Interesting take from @FareedZakaria on why PM Netanyahu's predictions on #Iran have been wrong for 25 years http://t.co/SHffz3GPOj — WH National Security (@NSCPress) March 6, 2015 Here is Netanyahu’s response: Via NY Post: Obama administration, Netanyahu bicker on Twitter Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu took the Obama administration to task Sunday for using Twitter to call his stance on...

Report: Iran Building 50 Kiloton Nuclear Device
by Tammy on November 27, 2012This information was apparently released by "officials" who are concerned about the lack of Western response. Everyone should be concerned. Any nuclear bomb with any yield in the hands of savages like Islamists is a doomsday weapon, something about which Obama does not seem concerned.

That's the only way we're ever going to get there. We all got to play by the same set of rules...

by Pat_S on November 24, 2010A post by Pat No, not at airports. It has recently come to President Obama’s attention that unethical research took place from 1946 to 1948 and we must be sure it doesn’t happen again. Back then the U.S. Health Department engaged in research in a Guatemalan mental hospital, infecting human subjects with syphilis. Obama, not wanting to put off dealing with a tough issue of immediate concern, has asked Dr. Amy Gutmann—Chair, Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues—to form a panel to review federal regulations and standards with respect to participants in scientific studies. The Commission is instructed to consult with international experts, especially Guatemalans, and hold at least one meeting outside the U.S. Very attentive to detail...

Russia too broke to dispose of chemical weapons
by Pat_S on August 2, 2010A post by Pat Oops, the Russians just realized they don’t have enough money to get rid of all their chemical weapons. They must be so embarrassed. Only a few months ago they reaffirmed their commitment to destroy chemical weapons by 2012. Someone must have been pilfering from the kopeck jar. Russia to miss chemical weapons deadline – statement, Aug 2, 2010 A federal government decree pushing Russia’s target date back to 2015 is being drafted and Moscow has informed the United States and other Chemical Weapons Convention member states of the delay, the Kirov region government said in a statement.
