Ironically the surge ended w/Iran’s allies in control of Baghdad, then we declared victory & left (until Isis came back & we silently partnered w/Iran against Isis).
So if we are channeling Bush let’s skip all the dead American troops & cut a deal with Tehran now.
🇺🇸 one of VIRGINIA'S MOST POWERFUL DEMOCRATS has just been INDICTED for allegedly RUNNING A CRIMINAL MARIJUANA EMPIRE
And the allegations go WAY beyond selling weed.
State Senator Louise Lucas, 82, has been charged alongside six others, including family members, in a federal investigation involving drug distribution, money laundering and corruption.
Prosecutors allege she used her political influence to protect the operation and push legislation that benefited her business.
Here's the extraordinary part.
Lucas helped champion marijuana legalization in Virginia while allegedly running an illegal distribution operation herself.
The woman wasn't some obscure local politician. She's the president pro tempore of the Virginia Senate and chairs its powerful Finance Committee.
Federal prosecutors have effectively accused a top state lawmaker of using the very government she helps run to protect a family drug enterprise.
Lucas denies wrongdoing and says the investigation is politically motivated.

Concerned residents packed the Utah County Planning Commission meeting on Tuesday after it unanimously approved a widely unpopular data center ordinance without allowing public comment.
Police quickly moved on concerned residents – including swarming one young woman, dragging her out of the room, and slamming her onto the ground. The woman was left with a concussion and a bruised and swollen jaw. She spent the night in the ER after being released from jail.
An emergency rally was called for Wednesday in response to the brutality. Community members are demanding the termination, arrest, and prosecution of the offending officer – identified as Phil Crawford.
Meet Judge Araceli Martinez Olguín…
She was appointed by Autopen.
Born in Mexico.
There’s NO RECORD her parents immigrated to America legally.
They could be illegals.
Araceli just barred DHS doing field interrogations of potential illegals.
The Judiciary is a disaster.
INSANE 🚨 100% of New York adult daycares that were audited WERE FRAUD
“We audited 15 of these — There's no record of a single meal, activity, single hour of supervision”
ILLEGAL KICKBACKS were also reported with these adult daycares. How the scam works is the daycares will sign people up and offer them $1,000 per month cash
The adult daycare can bill about $120 per day to taxpayers. So they make about $3,600 per person and give the person $1,000 of it per month back as a kickback
So they pocket $2,600. The person with the Medicaid insurance gets $1,000
Taxpayers are being robbed blind
In the indictment they quote her as saying, "This is our last chance at generational wealth. I’ve gotten too old to not be greedy."
Have fun explaining that recording to a jury. 😳
