John Kerry
Former Secretary of State John Kerry trashed the Trump Administration on Tuesday evening as he campaigned for Biden in Iowa.
John Kerry was the architect of the failed Iran nuke deal and he has engaged in shadow diplomacy with Iranian officials in an effort to salvage the deal.
Iran fired missiles at several US facilities in Iraq Tuesday evening in a revenge attack after Trump ordered a drone strike that killed top Iran commander and terrorist Qassam Soleimani.
John Kerry trashed Trump for pulling out of the Iran nuke deal and blamed his decision to do so on the current escalated tensions between the US and Iran.
Kerry lied when he told reporters Tuesday night that the Iran nuke deal created “enormous inspection and verafiability and accountability where it didn’t exist.”
Kerry blamed the missile attacks on President Trump: “I think it’s a tragedy for the world that instead of diplomacy, this administration has rushed to confrontation,” Kerry said. “And if this develops into a tit-for-tat, increased effort, it will become a war that is needless, it didn’t have to happen and it will be a reckless war of choice by the President of the United States.”
Actually, John Kerry, the garbage nuke deal wasn’t worth the paper is was written on (Obama never required Iranian leaders to sign the nuke deal).
The Obama Admin admitted that the Iran nuke deal wasn’t “an executive agreement” or even a “signed document.”
The Iranians laughed at Obama and fired off ballistic missiles many times breaching the so-called nuke deal.
Iran shipped 30 tons of yellow cake (uranium ore) to a facility in Isfahan last January, which if enriched could provide material to make atomic bombs.
John Kerry is your typical terrorist-appeasing Democrat and the current Iran escalation is because of him, Barack Obama, Valerie Jarrett and Ben Rhodes.

Beltrami County in Minnesota has voted to reject refugee resettlement in their community following an executive order from President Donald Trump that allows state and local governments to determine whether or not they consent to accepting them .
Minnesota ’ s Democrat Governor Tim Walz has already vowed to take refugees on a state level , but that will not override the county ’ s decision .
The 3-2 vote on Tuesday was reportedly rowdy , as most residents strongly opposed taking refugees .
The Star Tribune reports that the meeting was “ filled with jeers , shouts and accusations @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Baltrami County is now one of few counties nationwide to formally reject refugee resettlement .
“ I think we will be making history today , ” said Beltrami County Commissioner Reed Olson , who voted in favor of taking refugees in .
In September , President Trump signed an executive order that requires local governments to consent before refugees will be placed .
In a letter to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in December , Governor Walz wrote that “ the inn is not full in Minnesota.
” “ I ’ m disappointed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ order was meant to be divisive .
… It should have never been [ pushed ] down to the county levels , ” Walz told the Star Tribune in response to their vote .
The Tribune reports that Beltrami County appears to be the first in Minnesota to reject resettlement , though no refugees have been placed in the county in over five years .
“ Officials have until Jan. 21 to respond to the executive order .

Dianne Feinstein
Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) is demanding Nancy Pelosi deliver the articles of impeachment to the Senate, but the Speaker is digging in her heels and won’t let go.
Fox News reported that Pelosi told colleagues in a letter that she will not give the articles of impeachment to the Senate unless McConnell ‘immediately publishes’ his resolution and accused the Senate Majority Leader of making “misleading claims” about the Clinton impeachment to justify his strategy.
“Sadly, Leader McConnell has made clear that his loyalty is to the President and not the Constitution,” Pelosi wrote. “Leader McConnell has insisted that the approach under consideration is identical to those of the Clinton trial and that ‘fair is fair.’ This is simply not true.”
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said on Tuesday that the Senate has the votes to move forward with phase one of the impeachment trial.
“Fifty-one senators determine what we do and there will be, I’m sure, intense discussion, once we get past phase one, about the whole witness issue,” McConnell said, while also insisting that the Senate first receive the articles from the House.
It’s getting so bad that even Feinstein is demanding Pelosi stop delaying and just hand over the articles of impeachment.
“If we’re going to do it, she should send them over,” Feinstein said. “I don’t see what good delay does.”
Dianne Feinstein says it’s time for Speaker Nancy Pelosi to send the impeachment articles to the Senate. “If we’re going to do it, she should send them over,” the California Democrat said. “I don’t see what good delay does.” — Laura Litvan (@LauraLitvan) January 8, 2020
On Monday Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) came through on his promise and introduced a resolution to allow dismissal of the “bogus impeachment” against President Trump.
The resolution gives Speaker Pelosi 25 days from the day the articles were adopted to turn over the articles of impeachment or face dismissal of the charges.
That means Pelosi has until Sunday January 12th to turn over the documents.

“The man and two women tried to use dense fog to cover their attempt to climb a section of 30-foot-high fence — part of nearly 100 miles of replacement wall built under Mr. Trump,” The Washington Times reports.
They cleared the primary fence up along the border but became stuck atop the fog-slicked secondary fence, which is set back from the boundary line, creating an enforcement corridor between the two fences. It’s not clear how they managed to scale the two walls, though Customs and Border Protection suggested they likely had smugglers who were helping them but then abandoned them when they got stuck. Agents called out the San Diego Fire Department, which had to use a truck and lengthy extension ladder to get the migrants down.
