Iranians and Iraqis are Celebrating the Death of Quds Commander, Time to Bring Troops Home
After the airstrike that killed Iranian military leader Qasem Soleimani, Iranians and Iraqis are celebrating.
The U.S.’s action came in response to an Iranian-supported militia attack on the U.S. embassy in Iraq.
According to Steve Watson of Summit News, Soleimani, the commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ elite Quds Force, was a despised figure in Iran and Iraq among those persecuted by the Iranian government and its proxies.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo viewed both Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and Soleimani as equal threats.
After news of the strike, President Trump tweeted an American flag without any comment:

Following news of Soleimani’s death, Iraqis were dancing in the streets:
Iraqis are celebrating the death of #QassemSoleimani. Let's not forget. When Iraqi pro-democracy activists were demonstrating Tahrir Square, forces propped up by Soleimani were terrorizing them. Now, can you blame these Iraqis for celebrating the death of Soleimani? https://t.co/AMUGxqnlo9 — ???????????????????? ???????????????????????????? (@vahid_yucesoy) January 3, 2020
One user stated, “Iranians who have been forced to live under ruthless military rule, took to Twitter to thank Trump with the hashtag #TnxPOTUS4Soleimani.”
Who is breathing a sigh of relief that Gen Soleimani is dead? Dissidents, feminists & secularists from Iran, Iraq, Syria & Lebanon. He was a Shia Osama bin Laden with a national treasury & flag. Who is crying foul? Obama alum Ben Rhodes, CodePink & Squad cocreator Cenk Uyger????????♀ — Asra Q. Nomani (@AsraNomani) January 3, 2020

Trump was definitely placed in an awkward spot, but he had to defend the U.S. embassy staff from a potential repeat of the 1979 Tehran hostage crisis.
Nevertheless, Trump re-assured the world that he is not pursuing war.
There is no need for him to bow down to pressure from interest groups who have no desire in abiding by Trump’s America First agenda.
Hopefully, Trump pulls more troops out of the Middle East and focuses more attention on America and its southern border.

Twitter changed their terms of service at the behest of Dr. James Cantor , who describes himself as a proud Jewish homosexual .

Reports have indicated that at least five missiles have hit an Iraq military base housing U.S. and British troops, but contradictory reports are saying that it was just a siren test that has sparked an overreaction.
The rockets allegedly struck the al-Taji military base north of Baghdad on Tuesday evening. There are no reports of troops being hurt or any damage being done to the facility at the present time. Other reports are saying that it may have been a siren drill that has sparked the panic during a time when tensions are high.
The alleged strike occurred hours after Iraq’s Popular Mobilization Units (PMU) were targeted with U.S. airstrikes. The U.S. targeted militia bases in Syria and Western Iraq. This is occurring as apart of the campaign against Kataib Hezbollah (KH), a PMU faction attributed with attacking the U.S. embassy in Iraq last week.
The three KH bases targeted by the U.S. strikes are believed to have “included weapon storage facilities and command and control locations that KH uses to plan and execute attacks on coalition forces.”
The region is heating up following the drone assassination of Iranian General Qasem Soleimani outside of a Baghdad airport last week:
President Donald Trump ordered an airstrike that killed Iranian General Qassim Solemani in Baghdad Thursday, responding to attacks on the US Embassy in the country by Shia militia by striking their Iranian allies forcefully. Soleimani was a commander of Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guard, and had been a significant player in Middle Eastern geopolitics for years. Soleimani trained and equipped many of the Shia militias that fought American troops in Iraq after the 2003 invasion of the country. He would go on to lead military operations as a representative of Iran in the Syrian Civil War, and the war against the ensuing spillover of the ISIS caliphate into Iraq. Sources indicate that Soleimani was killed by incoming rocket projectiles as he disembarked from a plane arriving at the Baghdad airport. It goes without saying to American patriots that the Shia Islamist militant was a villain. But it’s worth considering the broader national security considerations of the operation. Neocons may seek to use the operation as a launching pad for full-fledged regime change war in the Middle East. However, it’s also worth noting that the Trump administration has taken decisive yet limited military action in the region that didn’t result in prolonged conflicts. President Trump has attacked Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s regime twice during his tenure, but Assad has secured a favorable, stable position in the nation’s seemingly endless and proxy-ridden civil war.
The U.S. is now on high alert expecting a retaliation attack from the Iranians in the days to come.

ANTIFA Leader Exposed as Catholic School Teacher After Being Inadvertently Doxxed in CBC Documentary
An independent journalist from Canada has exposed a Catholic school teacher as an ANTIFA leader after he was doxxed in court papers and through an error in a Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) documentary.
Journalist Keean Bexte reported that Kurt Phillips leads the Anti-Racist Collective of Canada, a leading ANTIFA blog that helps foment left-wing terror and unleash digital lynch mobs on patriotic activists. He works as a Social Studies teacher for junior high school students at a Catholic School in Drumheller, Alberta.
Phillips’ identity was revealed after he was exposed in a court affidavit during a court case in Ontario. The testimony of a friend effectively exposed that he was behind the @ARCCollective Twitter account.
“For many years, Kurt had run a blog site known as Anti-Racist Canada (ARC), and a Twitter account known as @ARCCollective, and he is widely considered an expert in Canadian far-right extremism because of his work in documenting the activities and historical roots of Canadian neo-Nazis and white supremacists,” the testimony from the affidavit reads.
“His blog has been cited in numerous articles, and his work was hailed by Bernie Farber and the Anti-Hate Network as the most reliable source of information about the far-right,” it continued.
Bexte also noted that a Fifth Estate documentary by Canadian state broadcasting improperly blurred Phillips’ face while profiling him. The fake news accidentally exposed one of their own left-wing operatives with this blunder.
Kurt Phillips was inadvertently exposed in two ways, first by this affidavit filed in the Ontario Courts, and secondly in a CBC Fifth Estate Doc where his face was improperly blurred. Never trust the CBC to do their job if you have dirty secrets to hide! pic.twitter.com/YFazJklYpy — Keean Bexte (@TheRealKeean) January 6, 2020
The exposure of Phillips’ identity comes shortly after another infamous ANTIFA terrorist agitator, who has used the alias “AntiFash Gordon (AFG),” was exposed publicly as well.
Big League Politics reported on AFG getting his just deserts earlier this week:
The infamous ANTIFA terror leader, who hid anonymously behind the handle AntiFash Gordon (AFG) as he conspired to destroy people’s lives, has finally had his identity revealed after years of doxxing patriotic activists. According to The Post Millennial, AFG’s real identity is 38-year-old Christian Michael Exoo, a Canton, NY resident who works at at St. Lawrence University as a library supervisor. He has doxxed countless conservative individuals, giving the identities of patriots to a left-wing mob empowered to destroy their lives with targeted hate campaigns. Exoo is reportedly a product of the university system that harbors the radical Left. His father, mother and brother are employed as professors at St. Lawrence University. He has taught students how to doxx individuals on social media at the university as well. Exoo uses his information science background to teach about “open-source intelligence research.” In 2017, he led a seminar at a conference on the campus hosted by Weave News. One slide from his presentation read: “In this exercise, we are going to find the Facebook profile of our subject, and find all of the posts he’s ‘liked.’”

But in 2018, China began to send the most foreign-born immigrants to America — leap-frogging Canada, India, and Mexico.
Similarly, India has sent more foreign-born immigrants to the U.S. than Mexico since 2010. This pattern of legal immigration has changed the kinds of wage and job burdens in America. Traditionally, Mexican-based migration put pressure on blue-collar workers, but this new migration from Asia is putting more pressure on America’s white-collar workforce.
Annually, 1.2 million legal immigrants come to the U.S. Immigrants from China and India have already transformed certain sectors of the American economy. As of 2015, Chinese immigration in California has topped Mexican immigration to the state. In Silicon Valley, foreign-born nationals hailing from India outnumber Americans in the region’s tech sector.
Since the passage of the 1965 Immigration Act, immigration to America has fundamentally changed. Instead of traditionally European-based migrants coming in, Asians and Latin Americans make up the vast majority of migrants.
Subsequent immigration legislation such as then President George H.W. Bush’s Immigration Act of 1990, expanded legal immigration levels. From 2008 and 2018, the U.S. received more than 10 million legal immigrants. This number represents a foreign population larger than the population of New York City.
The majority of legal immigrants come through the process of “chain migration”, whereby recently naturalized citizens can take in an unlimited number of foreign relatives.
Immigration is a normal process of a country’s development, but it tends to happen in waves, with natural or legislative pauses.
The current mass migration wave is beginning to place major economic and political burdens on America.
To maintain its functionality as a nation, America will need to implement more restrictionist policies in the near future.


bigleaguepolitics--2020-01-07--Globalist Media Calls ‘Defend American Labor’ Sign Hung on Overpass a White Supremacist Banner

A banner placed on an overpass with the message of “ Defend American Labor ” is being called white supremacist by the fake news media , equating the message to recent wave of anti-Semitic attacks .
The Brooklyn Reporter claimed the banner hung in Bay Ridge at the 80th Street pedestrian overpass was promoting white supremacist propaganda “ as the city confronts a surge of anti-Semitic attacks.
” Meanwhile , the actual perpetrators of the anti-Semitic crime wave tend to look like this : take our poll - story continues below Leftist groups held a protest after the banner was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ America First message , claiming it was a message of hate .
“ It ’ s clear that if we don ’ t combat this hate in our neighborhood these groups will continue recruiting and escalate their behavior .
This is why a show of solidarity is so important at this time , ” said Mallory McMahon , a co-founder of Fight Back Bay Ridge , which helped to organize the rally .
“ We outnumber them and will make Bay Ridge inhospitable to white nationalism .
They won ’ t win .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ our unity , ” she added .
The Anti-Defamation League ( ADL ) , an anti-Bill of Rights organization that advocates for Big Brother censorship , is also spreading hysteria regarding the “ America First ” message on the banner .
“ We ’ re very concerned , ” Rachel Grinspan , associate regional director of the Anti-Defamation League , said Friday .
“ Any form of extremist rhetoric is a concern , especially to see it popping up in a local neighborhood like Bay Ridge , ” she added .
The hysteria @ @ @ @ @ @ @ phony outrage ginned up by the ADL and other left-wing special interest groups over “ It ’ s Okay to be White ” signs and use of the “ OK ” symbol .
People are losing their jobs and lives are being ruined because they are seen using the “ OK ” symbol in public : Days after the Anti-Defamation League ( ADL ) listed the “ OK ” hand gesture as a hate symbol in their database , an actor at Universal Studios Orlando was fired after it was discovered he had @ @ @ @ @ @ @ back in March .
Tiffiney and Richard Zinger , after apparently reading the ADL ’ s report , discovered that the symbol was used in their family ’ s group photo at Universal .
The biracial couple promptly rushed to the media , ginned up a controversy , and got the man fired as a result .
“ It ’ s more than the ‘ OK ’ sign , ” Richard Zinger told USA Today .
“ A lot of people don ’ t understand what that sign means.
” “ We just @ @ @ @ @ @ @ minions , ” Tiffiney Zinger said .
“ Do something special for our family and this person ruined that special warm feeling.
” What they failed to mention to the press is that one of their children is also doing the innocuous symbol in the photograph .
But that didn ’ t stop them from initiating a witch hunt and getting the man fired anyway , while exploiting their undeserved limelight to virtue-signal about their righteousness .
“ I ’ ve been emotionally distraught about it .
I ’ m still pretty upset @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this to children , ” Tiffiney Zinger said .
“ It can cause emotional stress on my child and her development.
” “ I just want somebody to take responsibility for it because nobody is taking responsibility for anything , ” Richard Zinger said .
“ I want to cause change , ” Tiffiney Zinger said .
“ I hope this doesn ’ t happen to another family again , and I pray that this doesn ’ t happen to another kid.
” Universal Studios Orlando , of course , jumped into action @ @ @ @ @ @ @ into idiocracy and madness .
Any message to the Right of the Communist Manifesto is essentially considered hate speech these days , thanks to the work of groups like the ADL .

“It’s clear that if we don’t combat this hate in our neighborhood these groups will continue recruiting and escalate their behavior. This is why a show of solidarity is so important at this time,” said Mallory McMahon, a co-founder of Fight Back Bay Ridge, which helped to organize the rally.
“We outnumber them and will make Bay Ridge inhospitable to white nationalism. They won’t win. This will only make us stronger in our unity,” she added.
The Anti-Defamation League (ADL), an anti-Bill of Rights organization that advocates for Big Brother censorship, is also spreading hysteria regarding the “America First” message on the banner.
“We’re very concerned,” Rachel Grinspan, associate regional director of the Anti-Defamation League, said Friday.
“Any form of extremist rhetoric is a concern, especially to see it popping up in a local neighborhood like Bay Ridge,” she added.
The hysteria over the banner is similar to the phony outrage ginned up by the ADL and other left-wing special interest groups over “It’s Okay to be White” signs and use of the “OK” symbol.
People are losing their jobs and lives are being ruined because they are seen using the “OK” symbol in public:
Days after the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) listed the “OK” hand gesture as a hate symbol in their database, an actor at Universal Studios Orlando was fired after it was discovered he had used the symbol in a group photo back in March. Tiffiney and Richard Zinger, after apparently reading the ADL’s report, discovered that the symbol was used in their family’s group photo at Universal. The biracial couple promptly rushed to the media, ginned up a controversy, and got the man fired as a result. “It’s more than the ‘OK’ sign,” Richard Zinger told USA Today. “A lot of people don’t understand what that sign means.” “We just wanted to take them to see the minions,” Tiffiney Zinger said. “Do something special for our family and this person ruined that special warm feeling.” What they failed to mention to the press is that one of their children is also doing the innocuous symbol in the photograph. But that didn’t stop them from initiating a witch hunt and getting the man fired anyway, while exploiting their undeserved limelight to virtue-signal about their righteousness. “I’ve been emotionally distraught about it. I’m still pretty upset that someone felt they needed to do this to children,” Tiffiney Zinger said. “It can cause emotional stress on my child and her development.” “I just want somebody to take responsibility for it because nobody is taking responsibility for anything,” Richard Zinger said. “I want to cause change,” Tiffiney Zinger said. “I hope this doesn’t happen to another family again, and I pray that this doesn’t happen to another kid.” Universal Studios Orlando, of course, jumped into action following these hysterics as America slumps further into idiocracy and madness.
Any message to the Right of the Communist Manifesto is essentially considered hate speech these days, thanks to the work of groups like the ADL.

Impeachment is essentially dead in the water in the Senate.

Hawley released a statement Monday on his drive to shut down Pelosi’s arbitrary and stalled publicity stunt.
“Speaker Pelosi started this bogus impeachment by claiming President Trump was an urgent ‘threat to democracy’ who had to be removed now. But after a bipartisan vote against the articles in the House, and with the public opposed to the Democrats’ partisan games, Pelosi has changed her tune. Now she wants to prevent a Senate trial, perhaps indefinitely. But the Constitution gives the Senate sole power to adjudicate articles of impeachment, not the House.”
“If Speaker Pelosi is afraid to try her case, the articles should be dismissed for failure to prosecute and Congress should get back to doing the people’s business.”
Hawley’s impeachment dismissal motion is being sponsored by numerous other Republican Senators, such as Rick Scott, Mike Braun, Marsha Blackburn, Ted Cruz, Steve Daines, John Barrasso, Tom Cotton, Joni Ernst, David Perdue and Jim Inhofe.
After Democrats staged a dramatic and political impeachment process in the House of Representatives, they’d surely be incensed if their partisan gambit was shut down in its tracks without additional legislative recognition.
