Biden's Secret Talks With Iran To Undermine An Ally

The Biden Administration, continuing the Obama administration's shift to appeasing Iran, has now been revealed to have been busy having secret talks with Iran about throwing Israel under the bus:


Secret talks between Iran and the United States in Oman were making good progress, but have now been jeopardised by the sudden death of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and his foreign minister.

Brett McGurk, US President Joe Biden's senior Middle East adviser, held indirect negotiations earlier this month with Ali Bagheri Kani, Iran’s point man for negotiations with the West, according to three Iranian sources close to the talks.

. . .

The talks focused on three subjects: a shared desire for a change in government in Israel; ending Israel’s war on Gaza; and preventing the conflict from spreading elsewhere in the region.

So, this administration has been busy talking and plotting with an avowed theocratic dictatorship and enemy of the USA about changing an allied democratically-elected government and to make Israel to lose the war started by Iranian-backed Hamas to save Hamas and maintain Iran's influence in the region.

This appeasement with Iran, along with wanting the Islamist vote in Michigan and Minnesota, sure explains some of the Biden Administration's latest actions in depriving Israel of weapons and supplies.

Biden continues to be toadying up to the Iranian regime, the same regime that organizes chants of death to America and has been directly and indirectly involved via its proxies in terrorism, attacks on shipping, attacks on Americans  and killing of Americans.

If you're Jewish and you continue to support Biden after this latest revelation, you're a deluded moron at best, and a progressive Kapo at worst.  If you're otherwise an American that continues to support Biden as he appeases an avowed enemy of America, I have some questions for you, too.

So Hamas And It's Useful Idiots Demand More Humanitarian Aid Deliveries From Israel

At the same time that it attacks the main crossing for humanitarian aid to enter from Israel, causing it to be closed.

The Guardian: Key aid crossing into Gaza closed after rocket attack kills Israeli soldiers

Verily, Hamas, if it was a person, would kill its parents and then demand it be shown mercy because it is now an orphan.

The idiots demanding Israel provide aid ought to condemn Hamas for preventing aid form arriving but so far they have failed to do so.

Note well that the attack came from Rafah, the last remaining Hamas stronghold where the Biden Administration and its Arabist state department keep insisting Israel not attack.

Israel needs to be allowed to finish the job, or more terrorist attacks like these can be expected.

$10 Billion Is Going To Buy A Lot Of Drones

And Rockets, and missiles, and terrorist paraphernalia.

Daily Mail: USS Thomas Hudner shoots down drone launched from Yemen over the Red Sea in act of self-defense

USS Thomas Hudner shot down a drone sent by the Houthis, a terrorist force backed by Iran, after it approached the destroyer:

The official confirmed that the drone originated in Yemen and was heading toward the ship, which was operating in international waters. It's unclear whether the drone was armed or how close it came to the ship before being shot down.

The incident follows a wave of drone and missile attacks against US forces in Iraq and Syria, launched by Iran's proxy militias in retaliation for America's support of Israel in its war against Hamas.

In Yemen, Iran backs and supplies the Houthis, a Shiite faction that has been at war against a Saudi-led Sunni coalition in the country since 2015.

Iran has been busy with its proxies attacking and sending missiles and drones at American soldiers and sailors. Nor is this the first occasion it has done so.

So, what does Biden and the Arabist Pro-Iranian US State Department do in response to these attacks?

Legal Insurrection: Biden Administration Renews Sanctions Waiver, Opening $10 Billion to Iran from Iraq

The officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the decision-making process, said Blinken signed the waiver mainly because the administration doesn’t want to cut Iraq off from a critical source of energy.

But, they said the administration is confident Iran will not be able to use any of the money for nefarious purposes. They said a rigorous vetting process is in place to ensure that the cash can only be used for food, medicine, medical equipment and agricultural goods.

Yes and if you can keep a straight face after reading and believe that last paragraph, the check is in the mail, and there's just a darling bridge for sale in Brooklyn just waiting for you.

Note that this is on top of the $6 Billion paid to Iran for 5 US-Iranian hostages. 

You really can't make this up.

You Should Never Go Full Moral Equivalence

You never should, but sure enough, Obama's State Department has gone full moral equivalence.

PJ Tatler: Obama State Department Accuses Israel of Terrorism as Palestinian Terrorists Murder Jews

Yes, a spokesman for the US State Department actually equated Israeli Police and Military responding and stopping in progress Palestinian knife attacks on Israelis with the acts of Palestinian terrorists stabbing attacks on Israeli civilians.

I'm only surprised that the State Department has not yet issued a pic of one of their spokespersons holding up a sign with a new hash tag of #TerroristsLivesMatter.

The Administration's ITAR Baby

The latest Obama administration's assault against both the First and Second Amendments is coming out of the State Department.

As reported by the NRA-ILA, Old NFO, Sebastian, at the Michigan Gun Owners forum, and by lots of others in the blogosphere, the State Department is looking to expand and apply ITAR (International Traffic in Arms Regulations) to blog posts and other internet activity.

This is being done on the theory that posting about firearms and ammunition specifications where a foreigner could access it would constitute an export of technical information that would require the poster of the information to first get authorization from the government before posting it. You can puzzle your way through the very lengthy regulation (on the internet) at the Government Press Office.

In short this proposed regulation contains a serious prior restraint towards those that would comment about technical details regarding firearms and ammunition online with serious and severe penalties for non-compliance. Discussing how to repair or modify a firearm would count as technical data under the proposal.

Sebastian over at Shall Not Be Questioned has all the details on how you can make a public comment on this proposal, and you've got until August 3rd to do so. Keep the comments polite, keep them to the point, keep them substantive and serious, and get the comment in on time.
