My latest in PJ Media:
It’s readily available on Twitter, of course: the website of the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has released a video showing the assassination of Donald Trump and former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on the golf course at Mar-a-Lago. This comes as Iran has been issuing a barrage of threats against Trump for the killing of Quds Force commander Qassem Soleimani in Jan. 2020. As Biden’s handlers persevere in their attempts to appease Iran at the nuke talks in Vienna, the Islamic Republic grows more emboldened, audacious, and aggressive by the day.
The establishment media has been dragging its feet about covering the threats from Iran. After all, it isn’t as if Khamenei threatened Old Joe Biden or Nancy Pelosi. Threats to Trump? Big deal. So it was perhaps understandable that a reporter was slow on the uptake regarding the blizzard of threats the Iranians have issued against Trump and others.
A reporter asked White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki Monday if there had been any threats at all: “Jake Sullivan had a statement over the weekend with regards to Iran and sanctions and he alluded to the threats against American officials. Should we interpret from that that the U.S.’s intelligence — that there have been threats, in particular against Trump officials who were involved in the Soleimani strike?”
Psaki answered tepidly, without naming the dreaded Trump: “Well, I’m not going to get into intelligence here, from the podium. But we’ve certainly seen concerning public rhetoric from Iranian officials about individuals from previous administrations, even before sanctions from this weekend, and that’s unacceptable.” Previous administrations? The Iranians are actually threatening to murder people from only one administration, the one that didn’t bend over backward to appease the bloodthirsty regime in Tehran.
Psaki did go on to suggest that Biden’s handlers would be working to protect those who were threatened, even their nemesis Trump: “As the National Security Advisor, Jake Sullivan, said in his statement over the weekend that you just referenced: ‘As Americans, we have our disagreements on politics…on Iran policy,’ and other issues, of course. ‘But we are united in our resolve against threats and provocations. We’re united in the defense of our people.’ And we’re going to protect and defend our own people. But I’m not going to get into more specifics.”
Nor did Psaki bother to explain that the Iranians are only bold enough to issue all these threats because the Biden administration has been so supine and appeasement-minded. The Iranians even saw this coming: it is enlightening to remember what former Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said on Nov. 5, 2020: “the next U.S. administration will surrender to the Iranian nation.” This wasn’t just tough talk. In light of Biden’s handlers’ apparent willingness to give the mullahs all they want and more, it was a sober assessment of the geopolitical situation.
There is more. Read the rest here.

Since that wicked man, oppressive tyrant , misogynists and leader of a Iran’s false religion and death cult Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, hates Donald Trump and Mike Pompeo with such a vicious passion that he has has released a video showing the Islamic fantasy of the assassination of both Trump and Pompeo.
This is actually a compliment to Trump and Pompeo because it wouldn’t look good for either of them to have such an evil man, being Khamenei ,like or approve of them or view them favorably in any way .
So considering the source of this malicious hate it reveals both Donald Trump and Mike Pompeo as good ,decent and wise men.

Iranians doing the best they can. Their little buggy has some neat tech – makes no waves as it drives through a puddle. Reminds me of a joke that incorporates the phrase “Don’t make waves”.

It’s always fascinating to observe the workings of the Muslim upside down mindset, they are always the ones who instigate violence and terrorism and then squeal about being victims when someone responds in kind or takes out one of their chief terrorists for previous terrorist acts and to prevent future ones, and then they issue threats and want to retaliate for something they caused in the first place.

“they issue threats and want to retaliate for something they caused in the first place.”
Anywhere there are muslims that have reached a certain critical % mass, this is what generally happens.

Some hacker needs to take Twitter down. Why Americans support this anti-American web site Twitter is a big mistake. Twitter spreads the propaganda of our enemies and we pay for it. Get off of Twitter and Facebook and stop buying from Amazon or products from China. Using these services is supporting anti America.
