I missed that.
Does anybody know who asked that REALLY stupid question?
I will say over again,how does he do it!
The press is just as bad as the democrats with only one motive, Destroy Trump no matter what! This only proves what we all been saying.
The left is the bigger danger over any Chinese virus.
Project Cassandra, launched in 2008, was one of the most successful counter-terrorism efforts in U.S. history. The project was aimed at undercutting the funding for Hezbollah, which had refocused efforts on drug trafficking and organized crime to fuel its terrorist empire.
The “Project Cassandra” push against Hezbollah, with its origins in the last year of the Bush administration, was primarily a project of the DEA, which had by then discovered the astonishing scope of Hezbollah’s syndicate crime. The criminal side of Hezbollah was moving drugs, arms, and cash around the world, creating new security hazards not only in the Middle East but in the Americas as well.
“Project Cassandra” targets Hezbollah’s global network that supplies drugs to the U.S. and Europe and is part of DEA’s efforts to disrupt efforts by terror organizations to fund activities through the sale of illegal drugs.
According to the DEA, members of Hezbollah’s BAC have established business relationships with South American drug cartels that supply cocaine to the European and U.S. drug markets and then launder he proceeds.
Over the past year, the DEA has uncovered what it describes as an “intricate network of money couriers” who collect and transport millions of dollars in drug proceeds from Europe to the Middle East.
“These drug trafficking and money laundering schemes… provide a revenue and weapons stream for an international terrorist organization responsible for devastating terror attacks around the word,” DEA Acting Deputy Administrator Jack Riley said in a statement
Amid the now-infamous Iran deal, The Obama Administration began placing roadblocks to derail Project Cassandra and would eventually bring it to a screeching halt. There were some protests in Congress, but they didn’t help.
One of the good things Jeff Sessions did as AG was in 2018 when he created a team of leading investigators and prosecutors he named the Hezbollah Financing and Narcoterrorism Team (HFNT) whose purpose is to complete the Project Cassandra investigation/arrests the of Hezbollah terrorists Obama stopped as a way to “make nice” with Iran.
“The Justice Department will leave no stone unturned in order to eliminate threats to our citizens from terrorist organizations and to stem the tide of the devastating drug crisis,” said Attorney General Sessions. “In an effort to protect Americans from both threats, the Justice Department will assemble leading investigators and prosecutors to ensure that all Project Cassandra investigations as well as other related investigations, whether past or present, are given the needed resources and attention to come to their proper resolution. The team will initiate prosecutions that will restrict the flow of money to foreign terrorist organizations as well as disrupt violent international drug trafficking operations.”

With roots in Latin America, Hezbollah is the real terror threat in our hemisphere
The U.S. State Department’s annual Country Reports on Terrorism for 2015 and 2016 said that Hezbollah “continued to maintain a presence in the region, with members, facilitators and supporters engaging in activity in support of the organization,” including efforts to build the organization’s “infrastructure in South America and fundraising, both through licit and illicit means.”
It noted that Hezbollah fundraising activities in areas of Latin America, which “remained an important regional nexus of arms, narcotics, pirated goods, human smuggling, counterfeiting and money laundering — all potential funding sources for terrorist organizations.

Hezbollah unhappy after US rescues American Fakhoury from Lebanon
Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah was recently in his bunker in Lebanon when he claims he switched on the TV to see a shocking scene. A US V-22 Osprey helicopter was lifting off from the US embassy and flying away low over the city. Soon the helicopter was out at sea, carrying away American citizen Amer Fakhoury who had been held for six months in Lebanon. On March 19 Fakhoury was safely at sea and Nasrallah was non-plussed.
Fakhoury is from Lebanon but was naturalized in the US. He was accused by a military court in Lebanon of being involved in crimes during the 1980s Lebanese Civil War. Pro-Hezbollah activists accuse him of having worked with Israel as part of the South Lebanon Army. However, many Lebanese have received amnesty for the civil war era, as the country tried to put the battles behind it. When he returned to the country he was detained. US Senators put pressure on Lebanon to release him, with Jeanne Shaheen calling for sanctions and saying all options were on the table to assist him.

Legit businesses merely a front for Hezbollah’s criminal activitiesWednesday, January 15, 2020 | J.M. Phelps (OneNewsNow.com)
used car lotA former executive with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration is warning America about Hezbollah’s transnational trafficking and laundering operation taking place on U.S. soil.
Prior to his retirement in 2014, Derek Maltz was an instrumental part of an investigation known as Project Cassandra. As the head of the DEA’s Special Operations Division (SOD), Maltz oversaw the project, which targeted and exposed Hezbollah’s transnational operation of trafficking cocaine and laundering money through the sale of used cars.
Maltz indicates those criminal activities are not limited to drug trafficking, but also include illegal cigarette trafficking, the sales of drug paraphernalia, kidnapping, extortion, arms smuggling, human trafficking, counterfeit goods, welfare fraud, and more.

Just saw your post.
Good for Cruz!
Give Em Hell Ted!
Took the title off my WiFi you Tube TV. No wonder I couldn’t find it Thanks.
The President indicated he listens to others besides Fauci and Deborah what’s her name.
The press kept trying to insinuate that Fauci would not want the stringent measures to stop while the President is thinking about doing that after 15 days - except in those areas that are hardest hit.
Millions of Americans are breathing a sigh of relief after this press conference - much to the dismay of the Trump haters in the Demonrat party and the media.

Dr. Karlyn Borysenko—lifelong Democrat—now says she will be voting for Trump in November!
Her 10:08 video is excellent with her reasoning.
Today was her turning point with Schumer and Pelosi’s antics.
This is the lady who attended a 2/11/2020 Trump rally and had her eyes opened.
Exactly. They are absolutely flabbergasted & exasperated.
It's as if they got to the bottom of their Fruity Pebbles & there was no toy in the box.

Families and businesses need help now to survive the China virus pandemic. But @SpeakerPelosi walked away from negotiations to write her own bill, full of absurd provisions completely unrelated to the crisis at hand. Here’s what Speaker Pelosi is demanding while Americans suffer:
HM. Hopefully a complete thread will be posted soon
I figured you’d pick up on that.
Yep.
Lol
I saw him talking about this.
Oh, my eyes, my eyes!
