Spinning White House Yarns and Iranian Nukes

Unable to ignore millions of cancellation letters and a rare presidential apology, fact-checkers at PolitiFact and the Washington Post designated “If you like your health care plan, you can keep it” as their “Lie of the Year.”

Reeling from Obamacare’s deceptive sales tactics, Americans dread its fallout but know that our system allows us to Think Again. We can repeal and replace bad laws.

But we can’t reverse the fall-out from Iranian nukes, which explains President Kennedy’s warning that while “domestic policy can defeat us, foreign policy can kill us.”

It also explains the backlash from allies and Congress against the recently signed interim agreement with Iran, the world’s most dangerous regime and self-described deceiver. As Alan Dershowitz suggested, it “could be a cataclysmic error of gigantic proportions.”

The secretly negotiated Iranian deal is a painful reminder of a Turkish general’s observation: “The problem with having the Americans as your allies is that you never know when they’ll turn around and stab themselves in the back.”

There's an overwhelming bi-partisan Congression consensus to increase -- not decrease -- pressure on Iran. Support it. Here's why.

The Democrat base didn’t care about reducing retired Veterans pay. As a matter of fact, they demanded it. Nuclear weapons are weapons of MASS destruction. An enemy wouldn’t waste one on a small target in Nebraska. An enemy of the United States would use a nuclear weapon on a large US city. That’s where the Democrat base lives. Therefore, I could care less about Iranian nuclear weapons. Turnabout is fair play.
