The left is reacting like President Trump just kicked off World War III .
Here ’ s why they ’ re wrong… When President Trump ordered the airstrike that killed Iranian General and designated terrorist , Qasem Soleimani , it a move consistent with Trump ’ s hearkening back to Reagan ’ s “ peace through strength ” military policy .
Americans are tired of fighting never-ending wars in the Middle East where troops get entangled in some sort of regime change with no way to get out .
It ’ s natural that the resulting hysteria on both the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fear war with Iran and/or Iranian retaliation using terror acts is very high .
But in this case , everyone needs to calm down .
This new American policy is a stroke of genius .
1 .
Previous Policy Regarding Iran Has Been Spectacularly Unsuccessful Trending : Nobel Chemist With More Integrity Than Obama And Gore Just Retracted Her Prize-Winning Paper What we are seeing is the Trump Doctrine on Iran being acted out in real-time .
This is the end of a failed policy of disregarding Iran ’ s aggressive actions and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is a regime that has been fighting proxy wars with the United States throughout the Middle East pretty much since the day they took power in 1979 , gives aid and comfort to terrorists , and is involved in planning and funding terror attacks all over the world .
Iran has one foot in two worlds — as a legitimate , nation-state and funding and supporting terrorist organizations .
These proxy wars have killed and maimed thousands of U.S. and allied troops .
Do we just let that continue indefinitely ?
The Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the previous administration in particular , which handed over pallets of cash , released terrorists , did nothing when Iran seized two U.S. naval vessels in the Persian Gulf , and turned a blind eye to Iran ’ s ties to other terrorist organizations , including Hezbollah , which has added gun and drug trafficking to fund their terrorism .
Then-Secretary of State John Kerry admitted that the administration knew that the money handed over to Iran would fund terror .
Although the Media ( D ) calls Qasem Soleimani a Major General @ @ @ @ @ @ @ IRGC ) , he was a terrorist .
He commanded the Quds Force which was labeled a terrorist organization by both the United States and Canada .
The Quds Force was connected to multiple terrorist groups like Hezbollah , Hamas , Islamic Jihad , as well as other Shia militias in Iraq , Afghanistan , and Syria .
The Quds Force was responsible for military operations outside of Iran and providing military support against U.S. troops .
Soleimani was the mastermind of the 2012 Benghazi attack .
Despite the New York Post reporting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ still allied with Soleimani to fight ISIS in Iraq .
The Islamic State grew from what Obama called a “ J.V .
team ” to become a massive terrorist organization after the quick withdrawal of troops from Iraq .
Great work , there , Barry .
David Petraeus , Obama ’ s CIA Director , said that killing Soleimani was bigger than taking out Osama bin Laden .
In one move , President Trump has taken the United States further away from war with Iran than we were before the airstrike .
His @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are reiterating that same position .
2 .
Drawing A Clear Line With A Display Of Strength When It ’ s Crossed Is A Deterrent For War Let ’ s take a look at what Iran has done in just during the Trump administration .
Iran wasn ’ t thrilled when Donald J. Trump won in 2016 .
They didn ’ t know what they were going to get .
If Hillary won , they knew she ’ d keep the JCPOA ( Iran Deal ) that Obama administration had negotiated while she @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , when Trump decided to officially pull out of the Iran Deal and impose sanctions , Iran started threatening action against oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz .
He didn ’ t do that in a vacuum ; Iran has had a hand in destabilizing the Middle East for decades , backing militias to conduct attacks against U.S. troops and allies , and was only emboldened by Obama ’ s weak stance against them .
They were also flush with cash thanks to Barry .
There were some attacks on oil tankers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Iran and carried out by proxies .
In August , Iran ’ s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei banned all talks with the United States .
In 2019 , it was more of the same — Iran-backed groups attacked oil tankers , attacked U.S. troops , and even conducted drone strikes on oil facilities in Saudi Arabia .
Then , in June of 2019 , Iran shot down a U.S. drone .
Initially , Trump sent out some pretty harsh tweets , but in the end , he halted an attack which would have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and he said that he believed that it would have been disproportionate action for the shooting down of an unmanned drone .
But then , he was clear — if you kill Americans , you ’ ll be sorry .
In late 2019 , that ’ s what they did .
On December 27 , an attack on a U.S. military base in Iraq was attacked and an American contractor was killed .
Two days later , the U.S. responded with airstrikes against Hezbollah in Iraq and Syria .
On December 31 , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in Baghdad , defacing property and burning the building .
This was now on U.S. soil .
This was the line that could not be crossed .
This attack was what led to Trump to agree to the airstrike that killed Soleimani .
3 .
Following The Airstrike Killing Soleimani , Trump ’ s Tough Talk Shows That He Means Business Iran continued with their saber-rattling by putting a bounty on Trump ’ s head and has threatened attacks on American soil and an attack on the White House specifically .
President Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s not having any of it .
He also knows that Iran doesn ’ t really want a war with the United States — at least not at this juncture .
After a few strategic locations were hit , they ’ d be toast and they know it .
This particular tweet has been criticized because of the statement that some of the sites are “ important to Iran & the Iranian culture.
” To be fair to Trump here , this is a tweet and hardly the forum for thorough foreign policy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ see Trump agreeing to target historical sites and museums as has been claimed by the left — that is something that the Taliban and ISIS would do — that said , would he take out monument commemorating the Iranian revolution that put this regressive , pro-terror regime in place ?
Sure .
And why not ?
The Iranian regime has held its own citizens hostage and silencing dissidents for 40 years .
The Iranian regime knows that he ’ ll do it because he did it with Soleimani .
Iran showed photos of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Soleimani .
How seriously are we to take that when hundreds of Iranian citizens were killed as dissidents just a few weeks ago by Soleimani ?
It isn ’ t difficult to fake mourning when you ’ ve got a gun to your head .
It ’ s not like it ’ s a free , democratic nation .
Of course , Iran is also doing what Iran does — they ’ re chanting “ Death to America ” — gee , I wonder why appeasement hasn ’ t worked so far @ @ @ @ @ @ @ flexing the might of the U.S. military , and it ’ s a warning to Iran .
And now , “ disproportional ” strikes — like the one he nixed back in June — are on the table .
Just in case they forgot… President Trump is making it clear that Iran will never have a nuke .
Iran is now explaining that “ Death to America ” doesn ’ t actually mean “ Death to America.
” When was the last time you saw Iran issue a clarification of its perspective regarding @ @ @ @ @ @ @ might be breaking them .

The left is reacting like President Trump just kicked off World War III. Here’s why they’re wrong…
When President Trump ordered the airstrike that killed Iranian General and designated terrorist, Qasem Soleimani, it a move consistent with Trump’s hearkening back to Reagan’s “peace through strength” military policy.
Americans are tired of fighting never-ending wars in the Middle East where troops get entangled in some sort of regime change with no way to get out. It’s natural that the resulting hysteria on both the left and the right for those who fear war with Iran and/or Iranian retaliation using terror acts is very high. But in this case, everyone needs to calm down.
This new American policy is a stroke of genius.
1. Previous Policy Regarding Iran Has Been Spectacularly Unsuccessful
What we are seeing is the Trump Doctrine on Iran being acted out in real-time. This is the end of a failed policy of disregarding Iran’s aggressive actions and appeasement to an authoritarian regime. This is a regime that has been fighting proxy wars with the United States throughout the Middle East pretty much since the day they took power in 1979, gives aid and comfort to terrorists, and is involved in planning and funding terror attacks all over the world. Iran has one foot in two worlds — as a legitimate, nation-state and funding and supporting terrorist organizations. These proxy wars have killed and maimed thousands of U.S. and allied troops.
Do we just let that continue indefinitely?
The Trump policy regarding Iran is decidedly different from the previous administration in particular, which handed over pallets of cash, released terrorists, did nothing when Iran seized two U.S. naval vessels in the Persian Gulf, and turned a blind eye to Iran’s ties to other terrorist organizations, including Hezbollah, which has added gun and drug trafficking to fund their terrorism.
Then-Secretary of State John Kerry admitted that the administration knew that the money handed over to Iran would fund terror.

Although the Media(D) calls Qasem Soleimani a Major General of the Islamic Revolutionary Gaurd Corps (IRGC), he was a terrorist. He commanded the Quds Force which was labeled a terrorist organization by both the United States and Canada. The Quds Force was connected to multiple terrorist groups like Hezbollah, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, as well as other Shia militias in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Syria. The Quds Force was responsible for military operations outside of Iran and providing military support against U.S. troops. Soleimani was the mastermind of the 2012 Benghazi attack. Despite the New York Post reporting this in 2014, the Obama administration still allied with Soleimani to fight ISIS in Iraq. The Islamic State grew from what Obama called a “J.V. team” to become a massive terrorist organization after the quick withdrawal of troops from Iraq. Great work, there, Barry.
Taking out Soleimani was a huge deal.
David Petraeus, Obama’s CIA Director, said that killing Soleimani was bigger than taking out Osama bin Laden.

In one move, President Trump has taken the United States further away from war with Iran than we were before the airstrike. His tough tweets warning Iran not to retaliate are reiterating that same position.
2. Drawing A Clear Line With A Display Of Strength When It’s Crossed Is A Deterrent For War
Let’s take a look at what Iran has done in just during the Trump administration.
Iran wasn’t thrilled when Donald J. Trump won in 2016. They didn’t know what they were going to get. If Hillary won, they knew she’d keep the JCPOA (Iran Deal) that Obama administration had negotiated while she was Secretary of State.
In 2018, when Trump decided to officially pull out of the Iran Deal and impose sanctions, Iran started threatening action against oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz. He didn’t do that in a vacuum; Iran has had a hand in destabilizing the Middle East for decades, backing militias to conduct attacks against U.S. troops and allies, and was only emboldened by Obama’s weak stance against them. They were also flush with cash thanks to Barry.
There were some attacks on oil tankers that it is believed were funded by Iran and carried out by proxies.
In August, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei banned all talks with the United States.
In 2019, it was more of the same — Iran-backed groups attacked oil tankers, attacked U.S. troops, and even conducted drone strikes on oil facilities in Saudi Arabia.
Then, in June of 2019, Iran shot down a U.S. drone. Initially, Trump sent out some pretty harsh tweets, but in the end, he halted an attack which would have caused perhaps as many as 150 deaths and he said that he believed that it would have been disproportionate action for the shooting down of an unmanned drone.
But then, he was clear — if you kill Americans, you’ll be sorry.
In late 2019, that’s what they did. On December 27, an attack on a U.S. military base in Iraq was attacked and an American contractor was killed. Two days later, the U.S. responded with airstrikes against Hezbollah in Iraq and Syria. On December 31, Iran-backed militia groups stormed the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad, defacing property and burning the building. This was now on U.S. soil.
This was the line that could not be crossed. This attack was what led to Trump to agree to the airstrike that killed Soleimani.
3. Following The Airstrike Killing Soleimani, Trump’s Tough Talk Shows That He Means Business
Iran continued with their saber-rattling by putting a bounty on Trump’s head and has threatened attacks on American soil and an attack on the White House specifically.
President Trump is being very clear that he’s not having any of it. He also knows that Iran doesn’t really want a war with the United States — at least not at this juncture. After a few strategic locations were hit, they’d be toast and they know it.
Iran is talking very boldly about targeting certain USA assets as revenge for our ridding the world of their terrorist leader who had just killed an American, & badly wounded many others, not to mention all of the people he had killed over his lifetime, including recently…. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 4, 2020
….targeted 52 Iranian sites (representing the 52 American hostages taken by Iran many years ago), some at a very high level & important to Iran & the Iranian culture, and those targets, and Iran itself, WILL BE HIT VERY FAST AND VERY HARD. The USA wants no more threats! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 4, 2020
This particular tweet has been criticized because of the statement that some of the sites are “important to Iran & the Iranian culture.” To be fair to Trump here, this is a tweet and hardly the forum for thorough foreign policy. Now, I don’t see Trump agreeing to target historical sites and museums as has been claimed by the left — that is something that the Taliban and ISIS would do — that said, would he take out monument commemorating the Iranian revolution that put this regressive, pro-terror regime in place? Sure. And why not? The Iranian regime has held its own citizens hostage and silencing dissidents for 40 years.
The Iranian regime knows that he’ll do it because he did it with Soleimani.
They attacked us, & we hit back. If they attack again, which I would strongly advise them not to do, we will hit them harder than they have ever been hit before! https://t.co/qI5RfWsSCH — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 5, 2020
Iran showed photos of a country in mourning over the death of Soleimani. How seriously are we to take that when hundreds of Iranian citizens were killed as dissidents just a few weeks ago by Soleimani? It isn’t difficult to fake mourning when you’ve got a gun to your head. It’s not like it’s a free, democratic nation.
Of course, Iran is also doing what Iran does — they’re chanting “Death to America” — gee, I wonder why appeasement hasn’t worked so far.

On Twitter, President Trump is flexing the might of the U.S. military, and it’s a warning to Iran.
The United States just spent Two Trillion Dollars on Military Equipment. We are the biggest and by far the BEST in the World! If Iran attacks an American Base, or any American, we will be sending some of that brand new beautiful equipment their way…and without hesitation! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 5, 2020
And now, “disproportional” strikes — like the one he nixed back in June — are on the table.
These Media Posts will serve as notification to the United States Congress that should Iran strike any U.S. person or target, the United States will quickly & fully strike back, & perhaps in a disproportionate manner. Such legal notice is not required, but is given nevertheless! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 5, 2020
Just in case they forgot… President Trump is making it clear that Iran will never have a nuke.
IRAN WILL NEVER HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 6, 2020
And guess what — it’s working.
Iran is now explaining that “Death to America” doesn’t actually mean “Death to America.”
See what happens when you stop targeting civilians at weddings and start targeting commanders in the field? Al Khamenei all the sudden wants to clarify that "Death to America" doesn't mean "Death to Americans"… 40 years later. #Iran #WWIII #SoleimaniFuneral #ProjectCassandra pic.twitter.com/iWWJggoziP — BlueStateVacatur (@ShoreProgress) January 6, 2020
When was the last time you saw Iran issue a clarification of its perspective regarding America? It looks like Trump just might be breaking them.
President Trump’s Middle East strategy seems pretty solid…

Patriotism: An Elusive Concept

When I was growing up , and probably from the age of 5 ( which would have been the year 1939 ) it was becoming apparent , even to a kid like me , that there was something going on in the world…something BIG .
America was helping The Allies , but had not yet entered the war… that was to come in two years .
As a kid I did all the usual things back then .
I had a bike when I was big enough to ride one , and with my friends we ’ d ride all @ @ @ @ @ @ @ went to Prospect Park , which was about 8-10 miles from where I lived at the time .
My cousin , Jerry , was my idol .
I thought he was the best thing ever .
He could speak eloquently ( at least I thought so ) and was the absolute best at building model airplanes .
He was handsome and , I guess , had no problem getting girlfriends .
He always treated me like I knew what he was talking about… which made me feel really good .
By the time @ @ @ @ @ @ @ December 7th , 1941 , I was seven years old and a little bit more aware of things going on around me and in the world .
My parents spoke of the war and , at one point my father got a wall-size map of Europe and we began to plot how the war was going… D-Day was far off in the distance , but there was North Africa to look at .
We made tiny flags of the different countries taking part in the war , and we ’ d put them @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we kept track of how the war was going .
Trending : Nobel Chemist With More Integrity Than Obama And Gore Just Retracted Her Prize-Winning Paper Now , here in the early part of January 2020 , I ’ m in my upper 80 ’ s and looking back to how I became a patriot .
There ’ s probably as many definitions of what a patriot is , and patriotism , as there are people that will talk about it .
In my case , seeing the flag , hearing march music @ @ @ @ @ @ @ parade , even just the first bars of the Star-spangled Banner , and I tear up .
I weep , unashamedly , seeing members of the armed forces as they defend our country .
Is that patriotism ?
I guess so .
Reading American history , and that includes the good AND the bad , makes me think about this country , and what we ’ re doing .
We were once described as “ the noble experiment ” and a lot of people thought that our glory days were behind us .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ we just get better and better…and maybe that ’ s patriotism .
One thing I DO know , patriotism has nothing to do with politics .
Now and then the helm of the ship of state is handed from one person to another , but the course should never change .
America is the new world personified , I think…a huge country with just about every type of climate and landscape that one could want .
A nation where any one that really tries , CAN succeed , and live what ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The saying is that old men talk about the past because they have no future , and young men talk about the future because they have no past… and I suppose that is true , in a way .
There is , also , the possibility that old men talk about the past because some things were better then… and some things didn ’ t get better with age .
Patriotism is one of the things that , somehow , didn ’ t get passed from one generation to another…and that ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in a country , you should respect the ways and traditions of that country , or find someplace else to live .
America is a pretty tolerant place to live , but there ARE limits to tolerance .
No country is going to accept people living in it that are plotting its demise .
No government is , or shouldn ’ t , allow dissention to become outright sedition or an attempted coup .
Patriots should be aware of what goes on in their country…and be prepared to step up and assist their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lot of different things…to different people .
To me , it ’ s standing by my country and keeping it safe , as much as it ’ s possible for me to do so .

When I was growing up, and probably from the age of 5 (which would have been the year 1939) it was becoming apparent, even to a kid like me, that there was something going on in the world…something BIG. America was helping The Allies, but had not yet entered the war… that was to come in two years.
As a kid I did all the usual things back then. I had a bike when I was big enough to ride one, and with my friends we’d ride all over the place. Once we all went to Prospect Park, which was about 8-10 miles from where I lived at the time.
My cousin, Jerry, was my idol. I thought he was the best thing ever. He could speak eloquently (at least I thought so) and was the absolute best at building model airplanes. He was handsome and, I guess, had no problem getting girlfriends. He always treated me like I knew what he was talking about… which made me feel really good.
By the time America was dragged into the war, December 7th, 1941, I was seven years old and a little bit more aware of things going on around me and in the world. My parents spoke of the war and, at one point my father got a wall-size map of Europe and we began to plot how the war was going… D-Day was far off in the distance, but there was North Africa to look at. We made tiny flags of the different countries taking part in the war, and we’d put them on push-pins on the map, so we kept track of how the war was going.
Now, here in the early part of January 2020, I’m in my upper 80’s and looking back to how I became a patriot. There’s probably as many definitions of what a patriot is, and patriotism, as there are people that will talk about it. In my case, seeing the flag, hearing march music, watching close-order drilling or a military parade, even just the first bars of the Star-spangled Banner, and I tear up. I weep, unashamedly, seeing members of the armed forces as they defend our country. Is that patriotism? I guess so.
Reading American history, and that includes the good AND the bad, makes me think about this country, and what we’re doing. We were once described as “the noble experiment” and a lot of people thought that our glory days were behind us. I have to differ. I think we just get better and better…and maybe that’s patriotism. One thing I DO know, patriotism has nothing to do with politics. Now and then the helm of the ship of state is handed from one person to another, but the course should never change. America is the new world personified, I think…a huge country with just about every type of climate and landscape that one could want. A nation where any one that really tries, CAN succeed, and live what’s been called “The American Dream”.
The saying is that old men talk about the past because they have no future, and young men talk about the future because they have no past… and I suppose that is true, in a way. There is, also, the possibility that old men talk about the past because some things were better then… and some things didn’t get better with age. Patriotism is one of the things that, somehow, didn’t get passed from one generation to another…and that’s a shame.
If you live in a country, you should respect the ways and traditions of that country, or find someplace else to live. America is a pretty tolerant place to live, but there ARE limits to tolerance. No country is going to accept people living in it that are plotting its demise. No government is, or shouldn’t, allow dissention to become outright sedition or an attempted coup. Patriots should be aware of what goes on in their country…and be prepared to step up and assist their nation.
So, patriotism is a lot of different things…to different people. To me, it’s standing by my country and keeping it safe, as much as it’s possible for me to do so.

All the rhetoric about WWIII aside… Is it possible that the death of Soleimani could be the first step toward establishing a regional peace? Scott Adams explores that possibility.
We at ClashDaily often find Scott’s take on world events fascinating, because they involve some refreshingly out-of-the-box thinking.
And few ideas run more counter to what all the talking heads have been rambling on about than his take on events that are unfolding in Iran and Iraq.
The possibility of a looming war has been discussed again and again. But have you heard much talk about this being a possible path to peace?
We thought not. Here’s Scott in his own words:
I often say that being on the brink of war looks exactly the same as being on the brink of peace. People get creative and flexible when war is on the doorstep. So let’s put a “peace filter” on this and see how it looks… — Scott Adams (@ScottAdamsSays) January 5, 2020
Next, the Iranian leadership is now thinking about their own mortality in ways they were not a week ago. That has a way of biasing you toward peace. — Scott Adams (@ScottAdamsSays) January 5, 2020
Iran’s leaders probably need to continue spreading Islamic “revolution” and targeting of Israel and supporting Palestinians no matter what. But could we persuade them to take their “battle” to the Internet and the field of ideas where it belongs? — Scott Adams (@ScottAdamsSays) January 5, 2020
Does Iran seriously think it can ever “wipe Israel off the map” militarily? I doubt it. And if Iran acts rationally (even if we don’t like it) in coming months, it suggests they do not have a crazy-irrational death cult situation. — Scott Adams (@ScottAdamsSays) January 5, 2020
This would be a great time to talk about a deal for Israel and the Palestinians — ideally a deal that allows Iran to participate productively. — Scott Adams (@ScottAdamsSays) January 5, 2020
Yes, we are on the brink of war, and things MIGHT go that way. But keep in mind that we might never again be one person’s decision away from a deal that is spectacular for everyone in the region. — Scott Adams (@ScottAdamsSays) January 5, 2020
And unlike the LAST guy in the Oval Office, Trump is operating from a position of strength.

The second-largest concentration of Iranians outside of Iran held a “ prayer vigil ” to mourn the death of a known terrorist .
The largest concentration of Iranians outside of Iran is in Los Angeles , the second-largest is in Toronto , Canada .
There are so many Iranians in the Canadian city that it ’ s been given a charming little nickname — “ Tehranto.

The second-largest concentration of Iranians outside of Iran held a “prayer vigil” to mourn the death of a known terrorist.
The largest concentration of Iranians outside of Iran is in Los Angeles, the second-largest is in Toronto, Canada. There are so many Iranians in the Canadian city that it’s been given a charming little nickname — “Tehranto.”
Toronto, or “Tehranto” is as it’s been dubbed by many of the approximately 100,000 people of Iranian descent living in the city, is home to the second-highest concentration of Iranians outside Iran. Only Los Angeles has a larger Iranian community. Unlike its counterpart south of the border, which saw some of its biggest influxes of Iranians during and in the lead-up to the Iranian Revolution of 1979, the Toronto Iranian community’s ties to its home country are arguably fresher — in large part because immigration to Canada has been a relatively smoother process than to the United States. Canada, for example, had an embassy in Iran up until 2012, unlike the United States, which severed diplomatic relations with the country in 1980. Source: CBC News

I hope 2020 will be the year the Trudeau government lives up to its pledge to list the #IRGC as a terrorist entity. This “vigil” in the streets of Toronto is a protest in support of Iranian regime sponsored terror. https://t.co/oTyxRNyVch — Senator Linda Frum (@LindaFrum) January 5, 2020
The police had to keep the two groups apart as the conflict went from shouting to shoving.
Here is a local news report on the situation:
One Iranian counter-protestor, Nasser Pooli, was irate with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and mocked him for praying in a mosque. “We don’t need you to go to Iranian stores, Mr. Trudeau. Clean up this shit. Clean up your mess.” He also accused the pro-Iranian terrorist demonstrators of being paid to hold the vigil. Source: The Post Millennial
One journalist for Rebel Media who was trying to question some of the attendees on both sides was told that he was not allowed to call Soleimani a terrorist or he would be arrested for “inciting a breach of the peace.”
Lovely.

Did Iran learn nothing from watching Trump drop that MOAB on ISIS? Trump was advised to wipe out targets that would cost Iranian lives last summer, but he has shown restraint… until now.
Iran is the world’s largest State sponsor of terrorism.
They tried — and failed — to blow up a civilian target in DC during Obama’s presidency. Mattis BLASTED Obama over his failure to take action there. In fact, Obama was more interested in giving Iran’s terrorist network carte blanche by shutting down the criminal investigations that would have disrupted the empire of the world’s Second-most wanted terrorist because he was trying to cosy up to Iran.
We all see how well THAT worked out. It is reported that Suleimani passed along inside information in ‘cooperating’ with American forces for terrorists to make more effective IED attacks. He was also reportedly involved in the planning of the attack in Benghazi.
Suleimani’s corpse should have been fed to dingos or feral hogs, but at least he’s dead now… and hopefully, significant tactical information perished with him.
Now Iran — which has been busy pretending to be the innocent victim here — is planning ‘revenge’ for the death of their leader. It can hardly be called ‘revenge’ when the man himself was responsible for thousands of deaths and injuries across the region, American and otherwise.
But their rhetorical position is one of ‘revenge’. They’ve put a bounty on Trump’s head.
Let’s be honest — if they had the resources and power to kill an American president by now — ANY American President — they would have done so sometime in their last 40 years of crying ‘Death To America’. ‘These Media Posts will serve as notification to the United States Congress that should Iran strike any U.S. person or target, the United States will quickly & fully strike back, & perhaps in a disproportionate manner,’ Trump tweeted on Sunday afternoon. ‘Such legal notice is not required, but is given nevertheless!’ he continued.

Iranian leaders rattled their swords, predictably.
An organizer for a funeral procession for General Qassem Soleimani called on all Iranians to donate $1 each ‘in order to gather an $80million bounty on President Trump’s head’. The organizer made the remarks during the procession in Mashad. Iran has also announced it they will no longer abide by any of the limits of its 2015 nuclear deal. …As tensions escalate after Soleimani’s death, Iranian MP Abolfazl Abutorabi threatened to launch an attack on American soil in retaliation. ‘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, according to the Iranian Labour News Agency. Abutorabi went on to say that ‘this is a declaration of war, which means if you hesitate you lose’. ‘When someone declares war do you want to respond to the bullets with flowers?

clashdaily--2020-01-06--WATCH: Ricky Gervais Opened The Golden Globes With SAVAGE Speech Mocking Hollywood Elites

British comedian Ricky Gervais hosted the Golden Globes and he went all-in on his jokes .
At times the audience was quite uncomfortable .
He began by saying that he doesn ’ t care anymore and feigned that he was going to be phoning it in for the evening .
Gervais mocked NBC and the Hollywood Foreign Press for selecting him for the job .
From the alleged racism of awards shows to Felicity Huffman ’ s stint in the clink , from Leonardo DiCaprio ’ s penchant for younger women to Apple ’ s sweatshops in China , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Jeffrey Epstein ’ s suicide , nothing was off-limits .
Trending : Nobel Chemist With More Integrity Than Obama And Gore Just Retracted Her Prize-Winning Paper The opening speech was hilarious but there was about a minute of it that hinted at the things that were to come .
Gervais mocked the celebrities themselves .
GERVAIS : You ’ ll be pleased to know this is the last time that I ’ m hosting these awards .
I don ’ t care anymore .
I ’ m just joking — I never did @ @ @ @ @ @ @ either — fifth time .
I mean , Kevin Hart was fired from the Oscars for some offensive tweets — hello !
Lucky for me that the Hollywood Foreign Press can barely speak English and they ’ ve no idea what Twitter is , so I got offered this gig by FAX .
Let ’ s go out with a bang and let ’ s have a laugh at your expense .
Shall we ?
Remember they ’ re just jokes and we ’ re all gon na die soon and there ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Remember that .
You all look lovely all dolled up , you came here in your limos .
I came here in a limo and the license plate was made by Felicity Huffman .
It ’ s her daughter I feel sorry for .
That must be the most embarrassing thing that ever happened to her .
And her dad was in ‘ Wild Hogs , ’ so… Lots of big celebrities here tonight .
Legends , I mean , icons .
This table over here alone — Al Pacino , Robert @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , that ’ s Joe Pesci , sorry .
I love you man , don ’ t have me whacked .
Tonight isn ’ t just about the people in front of the camera .
In this room are some of the most important TV and film executives in the world , people from every background , but they all have one thing in common : they ’ re all terrified of Ronan Farrow .
He ’ s coming for you .
He ’ s coming for you .
Look , talking of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ big year , it was big year for pedophile movies , Surviving R. Kelly , Leaving Never Land , Two Popes .
Shut up , shut up , I don ’ t care , I don ’ t care .
Many talented people of color were snubbed in major categories .
Unfortunately , there ’ s nothing I can do about that , the Hollywood Foreign Press are all very , very racist .
Fifth time .
We were going to do an “ In Memoriam ” this year , but when I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ died , it wasn ’ t diverse enough .
It was mostly white people and I thought , “ Nah , not on my watch.
” Maybe next year .
Let ’ s see what happens .
No one cares about movies anymore , no one goes to the cinema , no one watches network TV .
Everyone ’ s watching Netflix .
This show should just be me coming out , going , “ Well done Netflix , you win everything .
Good night.
” But no , we drag it out @ @ @ @ @ @ @ entire first season of Afterlife instead of watching this show .
That ’ s a show about a man who wants to kill himself because his wife dies of cancer and it ’ s still more fun than this .
Okay , spoiler alert , season two is on the way , so in the end , obviously he didn ’ t kill himself – just like Jeffrey Epstein .
Shut up , I know he ’ s your friend , but I don ’ t care .
You had to make your @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , didn ’ t you ?
Right .
Seriously , most films are awful — lazy , remakes … sequels .
I ’ ve heard a rumor that there might be a sequel to Sophie ’ s Choice .
I mean , that would be Meryl Streep going , “ Well , it ’ s got to be this one , then.
” All the best actors have jumped to Netflix and HBO and the actors that are left to do Hollywood movies now do fantasy adventure nonsense .
They wear masks and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ job isn ’ t acting anymore , it ’ s going to the gym twice a day and taking steroids , really .
Have we got an award for Most Ripped Junkie ?
No .
No point , we know who would win that .
Martin Scorsese , the greatest living director , made the news for his controversial comments about the Marvel franchise .
He said that they ’ re not real cinema and they remind him of theme parks .
I agree .
Although I don ’ t know what he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , he ’ s not big enough to go on the rides .
He ’ s tiny .
Right .
The Irishman was amazing .
It was .
It was great .
Long , but amazing .
It wasn ’ t the only epic movie .
Once Upon A Time In Hollywood — nearly three hours long .
Leonardo DiCaprio attended the premiere and , by the end , his date was too old for him .
Even Prince Andrew is like , “ Come on Leo , mate .
You know .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” The world got to see James Corden as a fat p*ssy .
He was also in the movie Cats but no one saw that .
And the reviews , ah , shocking !
I read one that said that this is the worst thing to happen to cats since dogs .
But Dame Judi Dench defended the film saying it was the role she was born to play because she — I can ’ t do this next joke — because she loves nothing better than plunking herself down on the carpet @ @ @ @ @ @ @ her own *CENSORED* Furball , furball .
She ’ s old-school .
It ’ s the last time , who cares ?
Apple roared into the TV game with The Morning Show , a superb drama about the importance of dignity and doing the right thing , made by a company that runs sweatshops in China .
So , well , you say you ’ re “ woke , ” but the companies you work for –- I mean , unbelievable , Apple , Amazon , Disney .
If ISIS started a streaming @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , wouldn ’ t you ?
So if you do win an award tonight , don ’ t use it as a platform to make a political speech , right ?
You ’ re in no position to lecture the public about anything .

Most of you spent less time in school than Greta Thunberg .
So , if you win , come up , accept your little award , thank your agent and your god , and f**k off .
It ’ s already @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Harvey Weinstein joke later in the show where the celebrities were the punchline : When it comes to not giving a crap about what anyone thinks , that man is an absolute legend !
