TEHRAN—Colin Kaepernick sent his workout video to Iran after learning they may have recently opened up a position but has yet to receive a phone call. Kaepernick condemned American attacks on Iranian terrorists last week, inciting rumors that he may have found a team interested in him in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. But Iranian officials have dispelled the rumors, stating clearly and unequivocally that "we have no interest in signing Kaepernick at this time, but we wish him well in his future endeavors." "It's disappointing to see that Iran is as hateful as America," a downcast Kaepernick said in...

Q is the result of the sacrifices and commitment of countless patriots to win back our captured country from the Deep State and achieve the transformation President Trump promised in this campaign video. President Trump has said the awakening of the public is key to this transformation. Q describes this awakening as follows: "The Great Awakening ('Freedom of Thought’), was designed and created not only as a backchannel to the public (away from the longstanding ‘mind’ control of the corrupt & heavily biased media) to endure future events through transparency and regeneration of individual thought (breaking the chains of...

There once was a Marx Brothers movie called "Horse Feathers" and in it was contained a skit about today's democrat party. The skit included a song. The lyrics went in part like this: [WAGSTAFF] I don't know what they have to say It makes no difference anyway Whatever it is, I'm against it No matter what it is or who commenced it I'm against it Your proposition may be good But let's have one thing understood: Whatever it is, I'm against it And even when you've changed it or condensed it I'm against it I'm opposed to it On general...

The report established that the special counsel’s office was complicit in the FISA abuse, the probe was a witch hunt, and its report was a cover-up for systematic government malfeasance. Shortly after the release of the special counsel report last year, I posited that Robert Mueller’s failure to investigate whether Russia interfered with the 2016 presidential election by feeding dossier author Christopher Steele disinformation established that Mueller was either incompetent or a political hack. Now, with the release of the inspector general’s report on FISA abuse, we know the answer: He was both. The IG’s report on the U.S. Department...

Former Rep. Ron Paul said he wished President Trump would "flip-flop" his policy on Iran and criticized Trump's loyalty to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Saudi Arabia. "I think our country is not doing so well. Our foreign policy is in shambles," the Texas Republican said. "Unfortunately, the one place where I wish he would flip-flop every once in a while or change his policy completely is dealing with Iran. He is steady on it, he said it on the campaign. He's very loyal to Netanyahu and Saudi Arabia." Trump authorized airstrikes that killed Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani and...

On January 17, 2016, a cargo plane with $400 million in foreign currencies was secretly sent to Iran in the dead of night. US officials held the ransom cash until US hostages were released on the tarmac. It was a ransom payment. Two days after Obama sent Iran the ransom cash the US government wired 13 individual payments for $99,999,999.99 , each with an independent MICR, totaling $1,299,999,999.87. Already the cash from Obama’s ransom payment to Iran has been traced to terrorist groups in the region. This past weekend Democrats attacked President Trump after the president called a strike on...

On Friday morning the United States killed General Qassim Soleimani, a top commander of Iran’s al-Quds Force, in an airstrike at Baghdad’s International Airport. The strike also killed Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, the deputy commander of Iran-backed militias known as the Popular Mobilization Forces. Seven people were reportedly killed in the airstrike. The Iranian regime is threatening retaliation against the United States following the death of their terror leader. Soleimani was behind at least 600 US soldier deaths in Iraq. On Sunday Iranian-backed militias opened fire on civilians who refused to attend a ceremony for the dead terrorist Soleimani. Via Heshmat...

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and other top Democrats are calling on President Trump and the top Senate Republican to allow John Bolton to testify in the Senate impeach trial after the former national security adviser stated Monday he would comply if subpoenaed. Pelosi equipped with the new Bolton statement said Trump and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) have "run out of excuses" and that the Republican-controlled Senate must seek his testimony about the Trump administration's contacts with Ukraine. "They must allow key witnesses to testify, and produce the documents Trump has blocked, so Americans can see the facts...

CNBC displayed the wrong photos Monday of 2020 Democratic presidential candidates Andrew Yang and Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) on its "Squawk Box" program.

Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), which quickly got the attention of Yang supporters on social media. SNIP

Not a fair fight. Key point: It would be much smarter for Iran to use asymmetric means to take on the United States instead of challenging America in the air. With the United States withdrawing from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action nuclear deal with Iran, a war with Tehran seems to be a distinct possibility. In the event of a military conflict between Washington and Tehran, there is also the ever growing possibility that the White House might seek regime change in Iran. A full-scale military campaign against Iran would require the United States to destroy the Iranian air...

Qasem Soleimani. “If you were looking for a reason to sell, you got one,” said Art Hogan, chief market strategist at National Securities. “But the fundamental backdrop hasn’t changed in...
