The State Department grossly mishandled its suspension of scandal-plagued Iran envoy Robert Malley, allowing him to continue accessing classified information and sensitive data after he was disciplined, according to an inspector general report reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon. The department's assistant inspector general gathered congressional staffers Wednesday afternoon for a closed-door briefing on the agency’s missteps after Malley had his security clearance pulled in 2023 for mishandling classified information. The briefing revealed that Malley was permitted to engage in classified activities even after his clearance was pulled, representing a breach of federal protocol, according to attendees. Malley was also...

On Friday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “America’s Newsroom,” White House National Security Communications Adviser John Kirby acknowledged that keeping Iran from getting nuclear weapons capability through diplomacy “hasn’t worked.” After playing video of Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) discussing a resolution he put forward to authorize military force by the U.S. to prevent a nuclear breakout by Iran, co-host Dana Perino asked, [relevant exchange begins around 3:25] “Has President Biden actually ever ruled that out?”

In March 2018, Barack Obama’s former Secretary of State, John Kerry was caught secretly meeting with Iranian officials to salvage Iran’s nuclear weapons program. Kerry was working against the Trump administration to salvage Obama’s Iranian nuclear deal that funded terrorism across the Middle East. Obama’s former Secretary of State was seen dining with several Iranian regime officials. The above photo was taken as Kerry left the restaurant in Paris. Around this time, President Trump withdrew from the sham Iranian nuclear deal. President Trump knew the deal with the Iranian mullahs was not working. John Kerry reportedly told the Iranian officials...

The senators claimed the reason for the State Department's interference was because of ongoing negotiations related to the Obama administration's Iran nuclear deal, which former President Barack Obama signed in 2015. Republican Sens. Chuck Grassley and Ron Johnson unveiled evidence on Wednesday that former Secretary of State John Kerry's State Department "actively interfered" with the FBI's attempts to arrest people suspected of being in the United States illegally to support Iran's efforts to create weapons of mass destruction. Whistleblowers allegedly told the senators and shared unclassified documents with them that supported their claims, and showed that the Justice Department and...

Flashback: Joe Biden warned America before the 2020 election that Trump "is going to get us to war in Iran." President Biden is now on the verge of getting America involved in a regional war in the Middle East after Iran's military drone attack on Israel.

(video) John Kerry, Hanoi John, gives a jaw-dropping speech in the clip below as he conflates the horrors of war with climate change. “You need to be able to make enormous changes,” Kerry said. “If it really wanted to, I mean, if Russia has the ability to wage a war illegally and invade another country, it ought to be able to make the effort to be responsible for the climate issue. “And unfortunately, because of the actions Russia took in an unprovoked, illegal war against another nation, we have not been engaged in discussions with Russia, sadly. “I say...

@LeadingReport BREAKING: The House Oversight and Accountability Committee has launched an investigation into the office of Joe Biden’s so-called “climate czar,” John Kerry. Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer has revealed that lawmakers are investigating Kerry over his apparent frequent consultations with shady environmental activists and eco groups.

He seems to think that food comes from grocery stores. This takes a special kind of 'stupid.' Does Joe Biden's climate czar, John Kerry, ever listen to himself? He made this dunderheaded speech at the World Economic Forum, unwittingly contradicting himself as he sought applause from the elites. Climate con man extraordinaire, John Kerry: The farming industry must be destroyed in order to achieve Net Zero. "Agriculture contributes about 33% of all the emissions of the world. And we can't get to Net Zero—we don't get this job done—unless agriculture is front and centre as part of the solution." "You...

Iran could produce enough fuel for six nuclear bombs in just one month and even produce a single atomic bomb in as little as a week, a former UN inspector has warned, as fears of a growing regional conflict surge. Weapons expert David Albright has issued out a sobering warning about the destructive potential of Iran’s arsenal, due to the country’s ability to produce large amounts of weapon-grade uranium. "Iran can quickly make enough weapon-grade uranium for many nuclear weapons, something it could not do in 2003,” he said. "Today, it would need only about a week to produce enough...

John Kerry is stepping down as the president’s special envoy for climate this spring, according to two people familiar with the decision. The change comes weeks after Kerry, 80, played a key role during a climate conference in Dubai helping to forge a compromise among nearly 200 countries aimed at reducing fossil fuels. The White House didn’t immediately comment on Kerry’s decision. Kerry, whose departure will come as President Biden is intensifying his re-election campaign, is one of the few top officials to depart an administration that has had historically low turnover. Kerry has held the post for three years...

U.S. climate envoy John Kerry said he thinks coal plants should not be “permitted anywhere in the world.” During a speech at the 2023 United Nations Climate Change Conference, Kerry said he is becoming “more and more” militant about climate policy because people are avoiding responsibility. “We don’t need that necessarily to tell us we ought to be transitioning out of coal,” Kerry said about the pollution from coal plants. “There shouldn’t be any more coal power plants permitted anywhere in the world.” “That’s how you can do something for health,” he added. “And the reality is that we’re not...

John Kerry, special presidential envoy on climate matters, announced Saturday that the United States has "proudly" committed to not to build any new coal plants and to get rid of existing ones entirely."To meet our goal of 100 percent carbon pollution-free electricity by 2035, we need to phase out unabated coal," Mr. Kerry said in a Dec. 2 statement, in which he announced that the United States had officially joined a coalition of 56 other countries who all plan to ditch coal in the name of climate change.“We will be working to accelerate unabated coal phase-out across the world, building...

Biden’s pompous jet-setting ‘climate envoy’ John Kerry spoke at the 2023 APEC summit.

The Biden administration has made a deal with Iran to release $6 billion in frozen funds in exchange for the release of five American prisoners. The agreement issuing a blanket waiver for international banks to transfer sanctioned Iranian money from South Korea to Qatar without fear of U.S. sanctions includes the release of five Iranian citizens held in the U.S. The Iranian-Americans include businessmen Siamak Namazi, 51, and Emad Shargi, 58, along with environmentalist Morad Tahbaz, 67. Secretary of State Antony Blinken signed off on the deal late last week, but Congress was not notified of the decision until Monday,...

The corporate state is intent, apparently, on ramping up its propaganda against so-called “climate deniers,” presumably to set the rhetorical groundwork for more extreme legal and social action against them in the future. So it dispatched something called its “climate envoy,” John Kerry, to Scotland with that aim.Here is the most incendiary portion of his comments:Without facts or economics on their side, they flatly deny what is happening to our planet and what we must do to save it. They incite a movement against what they falsely label ‘climate change fanaticism,’ as they conveniently forget that the dictionary definition of...

On Monday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Ana Cabrera Reports,” Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry stated that green transition investment has been undercut by the fact that money managers “have a fiduciary responsibility, an obligation to the people they manage it for not to lose the money, but to produce returns on that investment.” And the fact that pension funds “are very careful about those investments in order to make certain they have the money to pay out to the pensioners who work for that money all their lives.” Kerry also said that he has urged those who manage large...

John Kerry was hit with an ethics complaint Tuesday alleging he "disregarded" scientific evidence on climate issues. Protect the Public's Trust filed the complaint against the Biden administration's special presidential envoy for climate, detailing a May 10 speech in which Kerry claimed 15 million people perish every year due to greenhouse gas emissions. "This claim is both tremendously consequential and entirely unsupported by scientific evidence," the letter to State Department and White House Office of Science and Technology Policy officials states. PPT is calling for an investigation into Kerry's comments for violating the Biden administration's scientific integrity policies and are...

House Committee on Oversight Chair James Comer (R-KY) on Tuesday issued a final letter to Secretary of State Antony Blinken demanding all documents and information related to Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry’s role within the Biden Administration. Since 2021, Republicans have questioned what duties and responsibilities Kerry actually holds. On three separate occasions, Comer has requested Blinken provide transparency about Kerry’s role, but those requests have been ignored. Blinken’s failure to provide the requested information has caused Comer to threaten a subpoena.

On Friday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports,” Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry stated that wind and solar power will become “far more price competitive than oil and gas” if oil and gas companies see their costs rise because they “have to spend huge amounts of money for carbon capture and storage and utilization.” Kerry said, “I would say to you, Andrea, that, frankly, I’m surprised, pleasantly, on the positive side, by the amount of things that are just taking hold. We see remarkable progress on batteries and battery storage. We’re seeing the price of wind and solar...
