🚨Under Obama, Iran seized 10 American sailors on January 12, 2016, forced them to their knees, and broadcast the humiliation worldwide.
The next day, after their release, Secretary of State John Kerry publicly thanked Iranian authorities for their “cooperation and quick response,” framing the episode as a success of diplomacy.
Five days later, $400 million in cash pallets arrived in Tehran as the first installment of a $1.7 billion payout, timed with the JCPOA nuclear deal and the release of other American prisoners.
Obama responded to the capture of U.S. service members with gratitude and cash. Iran received the propaganda victory, the money, and a clear signal that there would be no real consequences.
Contrast those actions with that of President Trump, who designates the IRGC a terrorist organization, targets its leadership, and refuses to reward aggression with payments or praise
@seanhannity Someone please explain to me how these people can take office and take an oath to defend the constitution of the United States of America when they want to destroy the constitution. Why hasn’t this been brought up?
Victor Davis Hanson says today’s Democratic Party would rather lose elections than return to the Bill Clinton era, calling its leaders “ignorant and arrogant.”:
“The Democratic Party’s agenda doesn’t really ever get 51 percent of the people, so they have various ways of getting around it. They control the media, they control K-12 education, the universities, popular entertainment, popular culture, and the foundations. And they opened the borders. We now have a record 53 million people who were not born in the United States. That’s 16 percent of the population. So that, in itself, is a condemnation of their agenda. If you tell them they can win—if you go back to 1992 and 1996, I don’t necessarily mean win an election, but be competitive with the Bill Clinton agenda—they would rather lose than win with something like that because they’re unhinged. That doesn’t mean they’re not dangerous, and it doesn’t mean they can’t do a lot of damage. You’re right about that. Everybody has to take them seriously. They have to register. They have to get out and vote. These are very dangerous people. And they’re very ignorant people. They have degrees, but they’re educated ignoramuses. Ignorance and arrogance are a very dangerous combination, and they have both.”
Americans are being lied to from Democrats and the Democratic Socialists of America
“America's Democratic Socialists are obsessed with the Nordic model. Universal healthcare, big welfare states — The only problem? These countries aren't socialist. Their economies are highly competitive free markets built on private ownership and global trade.
Finland, Denmark, Iceland, and Sweden consistently rank among the top 15 countries with the most economic and personal freedom.
Scandinavian countries do offer more public services than the U.S., but they're paid for by broad and steep taxation. And it's not like the citizens are just sitting around collecting benefits. In Norway, labor force participation is higher than it is in the US”
There is another major factor to consider with these countries
These countries have lower levels of crime and higher levels of public trust, but they're ethnically and culturally homogenous, meaning not culturally mixed
They are also much smaller than America.
The population of the New York City metro area is 4 times the size of the entire country of Norway
Bottom line, these counties Democrats are selling as socialist Utopias are NOT socialist counties
Everyone is being lied to. What we will get in America is communist control, extreme poverty, wiping out the middle class and out freedoms will be completely stripped away
It’s a trap
"While our Administration is lifting up the next generation with the power of freedom and American Capitalism... the Radical Left is actively trying to destroy our children’s future with the disaster known as Communism," says @POTUS.
"As I said in my recent address at Mount Rushmore... Communism is, in my opinion, the single greatest threat to our Country in its history—including even World War One, World War Two, Pearl Harbor, 9/11... It is the enemy of Free People everywhere...
Communism is a loser... That's why we declare again today that the United States of America will never be a Communist Country."
Why did it take one young man with a camera to uncover what government inspectors failed to discover for decades? It’s simple.
Washington pays 90% of Medicaid expansion costs. To the states, it's basically free money, so they have zero incentive to check who's actually eligible for these benefits. Make it a 50-50 split between the federal government and the states, and you'll see states taking an interest in fraud real fast.
States should pay half the bill for Medicaid and food stamps. Right now, they administer programs with money that isn't theirs, and that's exactly why fraud runs wild.
