pamelagellerreport--2020-01-08--But but but Obama’s ‘Amazing’ ‘Iran Deal’ Outlawed the Missiles the Ayatollahs Are Using

More perfidy from the worst president in US history .
The more we know , the worse he is .
Wait .
Didn ’ t Obama ’ s ‘ Amazing ’ Shrink-Wrapped ‘ Iran Deal ’ Outlaw the Missiles the Ayatollah Used ?
That ’ s an excellent question , one that many people may be asking right about now .
Word on the tweet is that the Ayatollah Khameini is going all LBJ and picking targets at U.S. positions in Iraq in 2020 with his missiles .
We ’ re told the Supreme Leader is commanding the targeting of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Iran Leader personally overseeing IRGC missile launch against US bases in Iraq pic.twitter.com/kmcSo7gASo > But it turns out that photo is from 2014 .
It ’ s fake news that the Supreme Leader is targeting those missiles .
But people are asking if Obama ’ s vaunted Iran deal foreclosed using those ballistic missiles at all .
In fact , the Obama administration ’ s Iran deal , the JCPOA – worst acronym ever – did not cover ballistic missiles .
It referred to nuclear weapons .
In other words , the deal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ likely to use , but didn ’ t cover the ones he could readily use .
In fact , the Washington Post ’ s , ahem , ‘ ” fact-checkers ” once upbraided Republican Senator Johnny Isakson for being wrong about Iran being allowed to use ballistic missiles .
The WaPo sniffed , “ The formal name for the deal reached in July between Iran and world powers , including the United States , is the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action ( JCPOA ) , commonly called the Iran deal .
The nuclear @ @ @ @ @ @ @ after the International Atomic Energy Agency ( IAEA ) certified that Iran had complied with all the nuclear-related measures it agreed to in July .
Yet Iran has continued to test ballistic missiles and said it will not stop.
” They gave the senator three out of four Pinocchios because , by using ballistic weapons , Iran only broke United Nations Resolution 2231 : After the deal was reached , the United Nations Security Council — which had imposed sanctions on Iran to pressure it to negotiate — adopted Resolution 2231 .
The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ under which sanctions are to be lifted .
Under the resolution , ballistic missile restrictions expire after eight years .
So , Iran is under UN sanctions forbidding its use of ballistic missiles , according to the Post .
But there ’ s wiggle room : …the U.N. resolution does contain restrictions relating to ballistic missiles .
So how is Iran able to continue its testing ?
Experts say the resolution ’ s language allows Iran to argue that its ballistic missiles do not fit within the restrictions laid out in Resolution 2231 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Obama ’ s deal to end all deals does not include these ballistic missiles .
Security Studies Group president and former Army Special Operator Jim Hanson told Laura Ingraham on Fox News Tuesday night that these particular missiles “ suck .
They don ’ t know where they ’ re going to land .
They [ Iran ] took the least likely path to kill Americans .
But they did it because it sounds like they ’ re tough guys .
”

More perfidy from the worst president in US history. The more we know, the worse he is.
Wait. Didn’t Obama’s ‘Amazing’ Shrink-Wrapped ‘Iran Deal’ Outlaw the Missiles the Ayatollah Used?

Jihad-Rep Ilhan Omar Explodes After Minnesota Citizens Overwhelmingly Unite to Ban Refugee Resettlement

After an executive order by President Trump made it possible , a northern Minnesota county on Tuesday night opted to ban the resettlement of refugees within its boundaries , becoming the first in the state and the second in the nation to do so .
The vote at a crowded public meeting in Beltrami County , a sparsely inhabited area surrounding Red Lake , drew condemnation from many Minnesota Democrats , including U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar .

In a Twitter message Wednesday, Omar – who immigrated to Minnesota from Somalia as a teenager – saw the vote differently.
“Over 20 years ago, the state of Minnesota welcomed my family with open arms. I never would’ve had the opportunities that led me to Congress had I been rejected,” Omar wrote. “What Beltrami County is doing is denying refugees a chance at a better life.”

The Trump administration announced in November that resettlement agencies must get written consent from state and local officials in any jurisdiction where they want to help resettle refugees beyond June 2020. The order says the agencies were not working closely enough with local officials on resettling refugees and his administration acted to respect communities that believe they do not have the jobs or other resources to be able to take in refugees. Refugees have the right to move anywhere in the United States after their initial resettlement, but at their own expense.

pamelagellerreport--2020-01-10--Pelosi Caves: Articles of impeachment will be sent to Senate

Pelosi : Articles of impeachment will be sent to Senate to allow Trump trial to begin next week House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced Friday that she will take steps next week to send impeachment articles to the Senate , after delaying the process since last month in a bid to extract favorable terms in a trial .
“ I have asked Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler to be prepared to bring to the Floor next week a resolution to appoint managers and transmit articles of impeachment to the Senate .
I will be consulting with you at our Tuesday House @ @ @ @ @ @ @ further , ” Pelosi , D-Calif. , wrote in a letter to colleagues .
The decision to release the articles came as fellow Democrats in recent days had started to voice frustration and impatience with the speaker ’ s approach .
They stressed the urgency with which impeachment was treated at the end of 2019 and questioned why the House would then delay a trial by using articles as leverage .
Pelosi nevertheless defended her approach in the memo Friday , stressing important new information on the Ukraine controversy at the heart of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ I am very proud of the courage and patriotism exhibited by our House Democratic Caucus as we support and defend the Constitution , ” she wrote .
She continued to press the Senate , as she has for weeks , to conduct a “ fair trial ” with witnesses and documents .
“ In an impeachment trial , every Senator takes an oath to ‘ do impartial justice according to the Constitution and laws.
’ Every Senator now faces a choice : to be loyal to the President or to the Constitution @ @ @ @ @ @ @ one is above the law , not even the President.
” Pelosi ’ s demands in recent days included calling on Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell , R-Ky. , to reveal the resolution that would set the terms for the trial before she would transmit the articles .
Pelosi and her allies seemingly wanted a commitment to call certain Democrat-sought witnesses , and at least learn more about McConnell ’ s plans .
But McConnell wouldn ’ t budge , insisting that the Senate first launch the trial , and then resolve issues @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would not haggle with Pelosi and accusing her Thursday of playing “ irresponsible games.
” While Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer , D-N.Y. , had largely backed Pelosi in calling for commitments from McConnell , other Democratic senators began this week to pressure the House to get moving .
“ I think it ’ s time to turn the articles over , ” Sen. Joe Manchin , D-W.Va. , said Wednesday on Fox News ’ “ America ’ s Newsroom.
” “ Let ’ s see where the Senate can take it.
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ called out Pelosi for the delay .
“ The longer it goes on , the less urgent it becomes , ” Feinstein told Politico .
“ So if it ’ s serious and urgent , send them over .
If it isn ’ t , don ’ t send it over.
” Sens .
Angus King , D-Maine ; Richard Blumenthal , D-Conn. ; and Chris Coons , D-Del.
, also came out this week calling for the process to move along .
“ I respect the fact that she is concerned about @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will be a fair trial , ” Coons told Politico this week .
“ But I do think it is time to get on with it.
” McConnell has repeatedly said the resolution to govern the impeachment trial in the Senate would mirror the one used for then-President Bill Clinton ’ s impeachment trial in 1999 — setting a timeframe for the trial to begin , with the opportunity for lawmakers to determine how to proceed on potential witness testimony and additional documents later , after both the defense and the prosecution make @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this week he has the votes needed to pass the resolution and begin the trial , once he receives the articles .
In impeachment , most resolutions can pass with a simple majority — 51 votes .
To remove the president from office , though , there must be 67 votes .

Pelosi: Articles of impeachment will be sent to Senate to allow Trump trial to begin next week

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced Friday that she will take steps next week to send impeachment articles to the Senate, after delaying the process since last month in a bid to extract favorable terms in a trial.

Pelosi nevertheless defended her approach in the memo Friday, stressing important new information on the Ukraine controversy at the heart of impeachment that emerged during the interim.
“I am very proud of the courage and patriotism exhibited by our House Democratic Caucus as we support and defend the Constitution,” she wrote. She continued to press the Senate, as she has for weeks, to conduct a “fair trial” with witnesses and documents.
“In an impeachment trial, every Senator takes an oath to ‘do impartial justice according to the Constitution and laws.’ Every Senator now faces a choice: to be loyal to the President or to the Constitution,” she wrote. “No one is above the law, not even the President.”
Pelosi’s demands in recent days included calling on Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., to reveal the resolution that would set the terms for the trial before she would transmit the articles.
Pelosi and her allies seemingly wanted a commitment to call certain Democrat-sought witnesses, and at least learn more about McConnell’s plans. But McConnell wouldn’t budge, insisting that the Senate first launch the trial, and then resolve issues surrounding witnesses later, declaring that he would not haggle with Pelosi and accusing her Thursday of playing “irresponsible games.”
While Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., had largely backed Pelosi in calling for commitments from McConnell, other Democratic senators began this week to pressure the House to get moving.
“I think it’s time to turn the articles over,” Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., said Wednesday on Fox News’ “America’s Newsroom.” “Let’s see where the Senate can take it.”
Even Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., called out Pelosi for the delay.
“The longer it goes on, the less urgent it becomes,” Feinstein told Politico. “So if it’s serious and urgent, send them over. If it isn’t, don’t send it over.”
Sens. Angus King, D-Maine; Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn.; and Chris Coons, D-Del., also came out this week calling for the process to move along.
“I respect the fact that she is concerned about the fact about whether or not there will be a fair trial,” Coons told Politico this week. “But I do think it is time to get on with it.”
McConnell has repeatedly said the resolution to govern the impeachment trial in the Senate would mirror the one used for then-President Bill Clinton’s impeachment trial in 1999 — setting a timeframe for the trial to begin, with the opportunity for lawmakers to determine how to proceed on potential witness testimony and additional documents later, after both the defense and the prosecution make their opening statements.
McConnell said earlier this week he has the votes needed to pass the resolution and begin the trial, once he receives the articles. In impeachment, most resolutions can pass with a simple majority — 51 votes. To remove the president from office, though, there must be 67 votes.

And after Western governments accused Iran of shooting it down – something the country denies – there are now fears of a cover-up.
Iranian authorities have so far refused to release the black box flight recorders, saying they will “handle” the data themselves.
And bulldozers have now been pictured clearing away debris at the crash site.
It is feared the machines could destroy precious clues as to what really happened before international crash investigators have a chance to examine them.
Iran’s ambassador to the UK today dismissed the use of bulldozers to clear the crash site as “absolutely absurd”, Sky News reports.
What we know so far:
But the images have been verified by UK investigative website Bellingcat, whose painstaking work linked downed MH17 to Russia back in 2014.
Bellingcat investigator Giancarlo Fiorella told Channel 4 News: “Those images (of the bulldozer) we were able to geolocate to the crash site.
“I found them to be really distressing because this is potentially the scene of a crime.
“If this was a shoot-down event, you don’t want to disturb the crash site before a thorough investigation can be conducted and I’m not sure one had been conducted.”
It follows Iranian claims the two black boxes – which contain data and cockpit communications from the plane and are meant to be indestructible – had been damaged.
Iranian aviation authorities claim parts of their memory had been lost.

“More than prepared to kill Americans and fellow New Yorkers” in the cause of Islam. “Lives were saved” in this latest from the religion of peace.
Queens Woman Sentenced to 15 Years’ Imprisonment for Teaching and Distributing Information About Weapons of Mass Destruction
By: Department of Justice, January 10, 2020:
Asia Siddiqui and Her Co-Defendant Planned to Build Explosive or Destructive Devices Similar to those Used in Prior U.S.-Based Terrorist Attacks
Earlier today, at the federal courthouse in Brooklyn, New York, Asia Siddiqui was sentenced to 15 years’ imprisonment by United States District Judge Sterling Johnson Jr. for her role in planning to build a bomb for use in a terrorist attack in the United States. Siddiqui and her co-defendant, Noelle Velentzas, pleaded guilty on Aug. 23, 2019, to a charge of teaching or distributing information pertaining to the making and use of an explosive, destructive device, or weapon of mass destruction in furtherance of a planned federal crime of violence. Velentzas is awaiting sentencing.
“With the sentence imposed by the court, Siddiqui has been held accountable for her crimes. Inspired by radical Islam, Siddiqui and her co-defendant researched and taught each other how to construct bombs to be used on American soil against law enforcement and military targets,” said Assistant Attorney General for National Security John C. Demers. “They were thwarted by the excellent work of the agents, analysts and prosecutors who are responsible for this investigation and prosecution. For this, we are grateful.”
“Lives were saved when the defendants’ plot to detonate a bomb in a terrorist attack was thwarted by the tireless efforts of law enforcement,” said U.S. Attorney Richard P. Donoghue for the Eastern District of New York. “This is precisely the reason why countering terrorism remains the highest priority of the Department of Justice, and working with the FBI, the NYPD and our Joint Terrorism Task Force partners, we will continue to do everything possible to stay steps ahead of aspiring terrorists and their evil plans to harm Americans.”
“Asia Siddiqui and co-defendant Noelle Velentzas were more than prepared to kill Americans and fellow New Yorkers. Thanks to the dedicated work of the FBI’s JTTF in New York and our many law enforcement partners, they never succeeded. Today, Siddiqui’s fate has been sealed as we await one final sentencing that will decisively bring this case to a close,” said FBI Assistant Director-in-Charge William F. Sweeney.
“Today’s sentencing is a strong and timely reminder that the NYPD and its partners in law enforcement will never stop pursuing those who, if undetected, would plan and execute acts of terrorism in the United States,” said NYPD Commissioner Dermot F. Shea. “I want to thank the members of the Department of Justice, the FBI and the NYPD for their work each and every day and on this investigation.”
Between approximately 2013 and 2015, Siddiqui and Velentzas planned to build a bomb for use in a terrorist attack in the United States. In furtherance of their plan, the defendants taught each other chemistry and electrical skills related to creating explosives and building detonating devices, conducted research on how to make plastic explosives and how to build a car bomb, and shopped for and acquired materials to be used in an explosive device. They discussed similar devices used in past terrorist incidents like the Boston Marathon bombing, Oklahoma City bombing, and 1993 World Trade Center attack and researched potential targets of an attack, focusing on law enforcement and military-related targets.
Siddiqui’s interest in violent terrorist-related activities was reflected in her written submissions to a radical jihadist magazine edited by Samir Khan — a now- deceased prominent figure and member of the designated foreign terrorist organization al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP). In a poem called “Take Me to the Lands Where the Eyes Are Cooled,” Siddiqui wrote that she “taste[s] the Truth through fists and slit throats” and that there is “[n]o excuse to sit back and wait – for the skies rain martyrdom.”
When the defendants were arrested, law enforcement officers seized propane gas tanks, soldering tools, car bomb instructions, jihadist literature, machetes and several knives from their residences.
The government’s case is being handled by the Office’s National Security & Cybercrime Section. Assistant United States Attorneys Craig R. Heeren, Jennifer M. Sasso, Michael T. Keilty, Josh Hafetz and Jonathan E. Algor are in charge of the prosecution, with assistance provided by Trial Attorney Jennifer Burke of the National Security Division’s Counterterrorism Section.

It’s taken the media days to catch up and reluctantly report on what Geller Report reported the day of the crash, that Iran shot down that passenger plane. In their haste to cover for their jihad cause du jour, they insist it was a mistake. It wasn’t. The idea that Iran mistook flight 737 for a US military plane is absurd on its face. There are no Us military planes at Tehran airport.
Why the urgent rush to give the Islamic Republic a free pass in taking down a passenger jet? Monsters. Consider the stark difference between the West’s response to the German sinking of the passenger ship, the Lusitania. America has come to the parting of the ways with her allies when she must determine whether she stands for civilized or savage warfare.

By Danyl HUSSAIN and Tim STICKINGS for Mail Online, 10 January 2020:
Iran fired two missiles at the Ukrainian passenger jet which crashed near Tehran and killed 176 people, it is believed.
Satellite data detected two surface-to-air missiles being launched just minutes after the Boeing 737 took off, the US government says.
It is believed that Iran may have shot the plane down unintentionally, possibly mistaking it for a military jet just hours after Tehran had attacked US bases in Iraq.
Footage which emerged last night showed the Ukrainian International Airlines jet exploding in mid-air after it was hit, killing all 167 passengers and nine crew on board.
Donald Trump, Justin Trudeau and Boris Johnson have all blamed Iran for the downing of the plane as Western governments rejected Tehran’s claims of a technical failure.
Iran called the Western claims a ‘big lie’ and ‘psychological warfare’ in a fresh burst of angry rhetoric, after its relatively inconsequential strikes on US bases had sparked hopes that Middle East tensions were calming.
Tehran says it is ‘opening’ the plane’s black boxes today, but has sent mixed signals about who will be allowed to investigate them.
The crisis forced Western planes heading to Iran to turn around in mid-air last night, with many of today’s flights to Tehran cancelled by the carriers.
America’s Federal Aviation Administration had banned US airlines from flying over Iran just hours before the crash, potentially saving American lives from a misdirected shoot-down.
An image of anti-aircraft missile debris, supposedly from near the site of the downed Ukrainian Airlines flight, shared on social media.
Tehran has been insisting for two days that the crash was an ‘accident’ unrelated to the wider Middle East tensions and caused by a technical failure which had forced the pilot to turn around in mid-air.
But last night Western governments came down firmly on the side of a missile strike.
Justin Trudeau, who has demanded answers for the families of 63 Canadians killed in the crash, said he had ‘intelligence from multiple sources’ pointing to a shoot-down.
‘The evidence indicates that the plane was shot down by an Iranian surface-to-air missile,’ he said, adding that the strike ‘may well have been unintentional’.
Donald Trump also rejected Iran’s claims of a mechanical fault.
‘It was flying in a pretty rough neighborhood. Somebody could have made a mistake,’ Trump told reporters at the White House on Thursday. ‘I have a feeling that something very terrible happened, very devastating.’
UK prime minister Boris Johnson said there was ‘now a body of information that the flight was shot down by an Iranian surface-to-air missile’, while France has also offered help with the investigation.
US intelligence says the Boeing 737 was tracked by satellite data which showed the plane airborne for two minutes before detecting the heat signatures of two surface-to-air missiles.
That was quickly followed by an explosion, officials say, before infrared emissions from the plane showed it burning as it crashed to the ground.
Multiple videos have shown the plane already ablaze before it hit the ground.
It was unlikely the flight crew had time to react to any missile, said Michael Duitsman, a research associate at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies.
‘They probably wouldn’t have even seen it coming,’ he said. ‘Right after takeoff, the pilots were probably preoccupied with other things.’
Tehran-bound flights turned around last night after Western leaders blamed a missile strike for the crash.
