The American political media is a truly evil institution capable of anything, including the glorification of Iranian Gen. Qasem Soleimani, a terrorist animal responsible for hundreds of American deaths.
The thing about the American media is that once you realize how evil, and I mean truly evil, the institution is, nothing surprises you anymore.
Look at what the media did in Ferguson and Baltimore: used lies to launch race riots in predominantly black neighborhoods, in working class neighborhoods. You have to be evil to do such a thing, to destroy other people’s communities. There’s no other word for it.
What’s more, look at how CNN repeatedly promotes the idea of assassinating the President of the United States and encourages violence against Trump supporters.
Anyway, every sane person knows there is no moral difference between Soleimani and Osama bin Liden. Both men were unrepentant terrorists and tyrants willing to use torture, the murder of innocents, and international terror in a bid for cold, raw power. If that’s not enough of a comparison for you, Soleimani had gone so far as to plot terrorist attacks on American soil and undoubtedly helped at least ten of the 9/11 hijackers to find their way to America.
And yet, the evil American media would have you believe President Trump just assassinated a statesman.
You know, when bin Laden was killed in 2011, I despised and disliked then-President Obama as much as I do now, but I was still thrilled. I also gave Obama credit for making the call, which was a tough call, which could have easily gone sideways to a point where his re-election chances could have died in the sand just like Jimmy Carter’s did when he authorized a doomed mission to rescue 52 American hostages held in Iran.
How do you not celebrate the death of a monster like bin Laden? The American media certainly did. They praised Obama for making the call and managed to avoid terms like “revered scholar” and “religious leader” while describing bin Laden. There were also no concerns about “escalation” or “illegal assassinations” or “World War III” or “reinstituting the draft” or any of the tired but predictable hysterics we’ve been hearing all week.
Honestly, how many Americans must a terrorist kill before the media take just a moment to say, “Good job, Mr. President.”
And you know what? Trump is doing a good job with Iran. Sure, Iran is a tough and complicated situation filled with only bad choices, but we can’t have a terrorist country killing American contractors and openly attacking our embassies without retaliation. We just can’t. At the same time, no one wants to launch what would almost certainly be another endless ground war. Given the situation, Trump made a good choice. He took out not just a monster, but a monster who was effective (like bin Laden) at attracting followers and wreaking murderous havoc throughout the region.
Strategically and symbolically, Soleimani was the perfect choice. If nothing else, every big shot in Iran is currently wondering if they are next, which could deescalate this situation out of self-interest.
But an evil media just can’t look at things this way. The number of eggs necessary to break to produce an anti-Trump omelet is of no consequence to the media, even if we are talking about hundreds of American eggs. The media are so deranged and vile, so unhinged and furious, any opportunity to express their hatred for Trump is an opportunity that cannot be passed up, which is why we get lunacy like this…
Washington Post: “Airstrike at Baghdad airport kills Iran’s most revered military leader, Qasem Soleimani.”
And that sentence wasn’t in a longer piece detailing Soleimani’s crimes against humanity. Nope, it was how the far-left Post described this war criminal in its tweet breaking the news.
CNN: “Imagine the French Foreign Legion, at the height of the French empire. This guy is regarded in Iran as a completely heroic figure.”
“I was trying to think of somebody, and I was thinking of [Charles] de Gaulle.”
“He is regarded as personally incredibly brave. The troops love him.”
CBS: “Military genius … inspirational.”
New Yorker: “a flamboyant former construction worker and bodybuilder with snowy white hair, a dapper beard, and arching salt-and-pepper eyebrows”
New York Times: “Many saw him as a larger-than-life hero, particularly within security circles. Anecdotes about his asceticism and quiet charisma joined to create an image of a warrior-philosopher who became the backbone of a nation’s defense against a host of enemies.”
And on and on
Keep in mind that these same news outlets have never once described our own president in this way.
Think about that.
When it comes to a wicked, cold-blooded murderer, terrorist, and tyrant, all of a sudden the media are concerned with context, with how he is seen by his supporters, which is the excuse to justify all this flowery language. But Trump, our own president, has never received the benefit of this “context.”
If the above does not convince you of just how unhinged the media are, get a load of this…

Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, wept openly at the funeral for Gen. Qassem Soleimani. His tears give insight into how the death of the commander killed in a U.S. strike is being felt personally by the supreme leader. http://apne.ws/UPiORs3 

An emotional Khamenei shows Iran general's death is personal



And this…


That’s not journalism. It’s trolling. CNN is trolling the president while he’s in the middle of an incredibly dangerous and potentially explosive situation.
And then there’s the hysteria. Trump doesn’t have a plan! Trump doesn’t know what he’s doing!
We’ve been hearing this shit for four years now…
Trump didn’t have a plan to win the Republican nomination. Then he won it.
Trump didn’t have a plan to win the presidency. Then he won it.
Trump didn’t have a plan to jumpstart the economy, to replace NAFTA, to get the Chinese to agree to a trade deal, to solve the border crisis between Syria and Turkey, to build the border wall, to bring back manufacturing jobs, to make American energy independent, and on and on and on and on…
And yet he did and does have a plan. But still, no matter what he does: bomb Syria for using chemical weapons, move the American embassy to Syria, withdraw our troops from Syria, it’s…
WORLD WAR III!
RECKLESS!
SHOOTING FROM THE HIP!
THE DRAFT’S GOING TO BE REINSTATED!!!
TARIFFS WILL DOOM US!!!
A RECESSION IS IMMINENT!!!
And yet, here we are enjoying the first real era of peace and prosperity in nearly 20 years, since September 11, 2001.
You know what?
Trump has turned out to be a very good president, and nothing frustrates the evil media more than that, and it’s that frustration that drives them to side with and glorify a terrorist.

Nancy Pelosi to Introduce Resolution Implying Pre-emptive Surrender to Iran

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) wrote a letter to her Democrat colleagues in the House on Sunday to reveal a new “War Powers Resolution” that amounts to a pre-emptive surrender to Iran in ongoing hostilities.
Pelosi’s letter begins with the declaration that President Donald Trump’s airstrike last week targeting Iranian General Qasem Suleimani, leader of the terrorist Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IGRC) Quds Force, responsible for the murders of hundreds of Americans and for recent attacks on the U.S. embassy in Baghdad, was “provocative and disproportionate,” terms suggesting the attack was illegal under international law and could constitute a war crime.
Harvard Law School professor emeritus (and Democrat) Alan Dershowitz argued in Monday’s Wall Street Journal that the strike was not only lawful, but an “easy call”: “The president has the constitutional authority to take military actions, short of declaring war, that he and his advisers deem necessary to protect American citizens. This authority is extremely broad, especially when the actions must, by their nature, be kept secret from the intended target.”
Nonetheless, Pelosi’s letter indicates that the House will declare the president’s action illegal under international law.
The letter further claims that Trump’s action “endangered our servicemembers, diplomats and others by risking a serious escalation of tensions with Iran” — placing the responsibility for violence not on Iran, which recently attacked a U.S. Navy drone; a Saudi oil field; and, via proxies, Americans soldiers and civilians in Iraq; but on the United States, which had restrained itself until the recent assault by an Iranian-backed militia on the embassy.
The letter goes on to describe a new resolution that would “limit the President’s military actions regarding Iran,” essentially signaling a surrender in the potential conflict before the Iranian regime itself had managed to respond.
Pelosi adds that the resolution “reasserts Congress’s long-established oversight responsibilities by mandating that if no further Congressional action is taken, the Administration’s military hostilities with regard to Iran cease within 30 days.” Under current law, the War Powers Act of 1973 limits the time that a president can lead a military effort, without formal authorization, to 60 days following a required presidential report to Congress when hostilities begin.
The new resolution, which Pelosi says mirrors a similar Senate bill by Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA), would amount to an effective surrender by signaling that the president had no congressional support for striking back against Iran, and imposing a new deadline for any military action that would give Iran greater freedom of action. Paradoxically, the resolution could force the president to choose more drastic measures of conducting a war effort before the deadline.
By declaring the attack “provocative and disproportionate,” the resolution also invites international prosecution of the president, as well as members of the administration and the military itself, who carry out his orders. The U.S. does not recognize the authority of the International Criminal Court (ICC) to prosecute Americans for war crimes, but the ICC takes a different view, and a future Democratic administration might well side with the ICC instead.
Pelosi’s letter indicates that the new “War Powers Resolution” will be introduced and voted on this week. She has not yet indicated when she will transfer the articles of impeachment passed by the House on Dec. 18 to the Senate, which she claims is a necessary prerequisite to the Senate holding a trial on the president’s removal from office.

GOP Sen. Hawley: ‘Nancy Pelosi Is Attempting to Obstruct a Senate Trial’ by Withholding Impeachment Articles

1:29
Monday, Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) criticized House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) decision to withhold articles of impeachment from the Senate.
Hawley accused Pelosi on “Fox & Friends” of “attempting to obstruct a Senate trial” and called for a change in the Senate rules to allow for the case to be dismissed if she continues her refusal to send over the articles.
“You know, Nancy Pelosi is attempting to obstruct a Senate trial. That’s all there is to it,” Hawley stated. “The Constitution says that the Senate is the one that will have the trial. It says the trial will follow the impeachment. Now, she’s trying to prevent a trial. She’s trying to obstruct it and upend the Constitution. Here’s what needs to happen: we need to change the Senate rules to allow the Senate to dismiss this case if she refuses to send the articles over.”
He added, “In a normal courtroom, in a real world if the prosecutor does not try his or her case – if they don’t actually bring it forward to the court – then the defendant can say, ‘Alright, well then we’re dismissing the case.’ The court can say, ‘We’re dismissing the case.’ And in this instance, the Senate is the court, and it’s time for us to take action and say, ‘If you’re not going to prosecute your case, we’re throwing it out.'”

No, Killing Soleimani Didn't Require a Congressional Vote

 
Daniel Greenfield
Every time a terrorist gets blown up, the lefty/libertarian caucus cries, "AUMF".
That stands for Authorization for Use of Military Force. In other words, they want Congress to take a vote and declare war and whatnot. There are two things wrong with this argument.
1. The 9/11 AUMF vote (the one Obama wanted Congress to withdraw on his way out) covers a whole range of Islamic terrorists. It was a bipartisan authorization that covers the use of "all necessary and appropriate force against those nations, organizations, or persons he determines planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, or harbored such organizations or persons, in order to prevent any future acts of international terrorism." 
And yes, as the 9/11 Commission Report notes, that includes Iran, which had a hand in harboring and training. 
So Iran is already covered by an AUMF. The lefty-libertarian caucus can clamor to have that AUMF withdrawn. They can't however complain that President Trump doesn't have legal authority to launch attacks on Iranian terrorists.

2. Killing an Iranian terror leader outside Iran in Baghdad, which is well within the congressionally authorized scope of military operations, in response to repeated attacks by Soleimani's terrorists against American personnel, has zero AUMF issues.
Congress doesn't need to declare war against specific terrorists before we kill them, if they're attacking us. We don't need an AUMF for self-defense. 
Soleimani was killed in response to attacks on US personnel. We had intel suggesting that he had something even nastier than the current rocket attacks and embassy attacks planned.
Iran perpetrated an attack on our embassy in Iraq. And yet the media keeps complaining that the United States is violating international law and bringing the world closer to war. 
Attacking an embassy is far more of a violation of international law than killing a terror leader in a war zone.
