    That nails it. They think they shape reality with words when actually reality tests their words and finds them to be mainly horse ****.

    And Obama lied his ass off to get the Iran "deal" which Iran never even signed, though they did receive a massive cash infusion for going along with the charade. Once again, they expected Hillary to win and continue this farce.... Ooops!

    Corrupt Obama Secretly Lifted Financial Sanctions, Asked American Banks to Help Iran Convert Its Currency to Dollars

    AP reports that Obama secretly gave Iran permission to begin moving its money through the banking system, despite sanctions forbidding it to do so.

    Obama did this, of course, to try to appease the Iranians into accepting the billions he intended to give them for nothing.

    He also did this while denying he was doing it.

    Now, the Iranians did not get to move their money around. Banks feared that this was illegal (which it probably was) and did not imagine that they, like Obama, would be immune from the law. So the banks balked, and Iran was unable to move its money.

    But Obama did give the Iranians permission to do this.

    He had a pen and phone, you know.

    The Obama administration secretly sought to give Iran access --albeit briefly -- to the U.S. financial system by sidestepping sanctions kept in place after the 2015 nuclear deal, despite repeatedly telling Congress and the public it had no plans to do so.

    The report by the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations revealed that under President Barack Obama, the Treasury Department issued a license in February 2016, never previously disclosed, that would have allowed Iran to convert $5.7 billion it held at a bank in Oman from Omani rials into euros by exchanging them first into U.S. dollars. If the Omani bank had allowed the exchange without such a license, it would have violated sanctions that bar Iran from transactions that touch the U.S. financial system.

    The effort was unsuccessful because American banks -- themselves afraid of running afoul of U.S. sanctions -- declined to participate. The Obama administration approached two U.S. banks to facilitate the conversion, the report said, but both refused, citing the reputational risk of doing business with or for Iran.

    "The Obama administration misled the American people and Congress because they were desperate to get a deal with Iran," said Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio, the subcommittee's chairman.

    Dirty Lying Bastards. And recall that December we learned that Obama had drained all resources from Operation Casandra, a plan to shut down a Hezbollah cocaine smuggling operation for fear of "rocking the boat" with Tehran and upsetting the nuclear deal. Just how many of these "side arrangements" were going on that the American people never learned about so they could get the steaming pile of Iranian diplomacy over the finish line?

    We'll see:

    The intelligence agency of the German state of Baden-Württemberg has revealed in an eye-popping report that Iran’s regime sought during 2017 to obtain technology and scientific knowledge to produce weapons of mass destruction and advance its missile program.

    “Iran continued to undertake, as did Pakistan and Syria, efforts to obtain goods and know-how to be used for the development of weapons of mass destruction and to optimize corresponding missile-delivery systems,” said the intelligence document

    Yes... it is sure looking like President Trump's approach to North Korea may well be successful!

    Not the first or last leftist to fail when his Trump Derangement Syndrome takes him down a dead end road.

    Well, that post didn't age well. You guys keep predicting Trump's failure and he keeps kicking your ass. WAPO is catching on, when will you?

    WaPo Opinion: "There Will Be No Trump Collapse"

    Trump's enemies have all deployed the same strategy against him: the mere hope that he will self-destruct.

    WINNING: German firms in line with U.S. Iran sanctions. “Several European companies have suspended plans to invest in Iran in light of the US sanctions.”

    Yet we were assured that Trump’s bullying was going to cause us to lose our allies and force them to side with Tehran.

    They think it involves hot chocolate and talking to their parents about health insurance.
