When it comes to foreign policy, the big winner in the #DemDebate was Iran.

▶️ Not one candidate applauded the death of Soleimani, the Quds Force Commander.

▶️ All the candidates rejected the ‘Maximum Pressure’ campaign of President @realDonaldTrump.
▶️ All candidates promised to adhere to the original and terribly flawed Obama nuclear deal with Iran.

If you are the Ayatollah and his henchmen, you have to be inspired by what you heard last night at the Democratic presidential debate.
If you are a protestor in the streets of Iran demanding your freedom, standing against the Ayatollah, and demanding a better life -- the Democratic debate was a gut punch.

Hard to believe that the leading candidate for the Democratic party has called the duly elected @IsraeliPM a racist.

timesofisrael.com/netanyahu-give…
Prime Minister @netanyahu is the longest serving Prime Minister in the history of Israel and has made it his life’s work to protect the one and only Jewish state.

Israel is under siege by radical Islamic elements. To fight back is not racist – it is strength and determination.
Bernie Sanders would be a horrible Commander in Chief as he doesn’t understand the threats we face and sees our military and intelligence community as fat to be cut to fund his drive to socialism.

The U.S. Senate will today vote (3:30 pm) on life-saving legislation I introduced – the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act.

#theyfeelpain #ProLife
The legislation would provide protections for unborn children at 20 weeks after fertilization, a point at which there is significant scientific evidence that abortion inflicts tremendous pain on the unborn.
There are only seven countries that allow wholesale abortions at the 20-week period, including China and North Korea.

The United States should NOT be in that club.

The sentence rendered in the Roger Stone case by Judge Jackson is on the lower end of the recommended sentencing guidelines for offenses of this nature.
It is important to give both the government and the accused a fair trial free from influence.

I believe this has been accomplished in Mr. Stone’s case.

Like all Americans, Mr. Stone can appeal the fairness of his trial and the verdict rendered.
Under our system of justice President Trump has all the legal authority in the world to review this case, in terms of commuting the sentence or pardoning Mr. Stone for the underlying offense.

I’ve been having a hard time picking who I want to vote for in the Primary, until I got home from the comedy show and in the #DemDebate closing statements, only one candidate mentioned taking on the NRA and...
..mentioning Las Vegas which my friend @nguyenbryan2016 has suffered a loss from. A candidate who called families who lost loved ones like when he called @fred_guttenberg after Parkland, a candidate who helped pass the ‘94-‘04 Assault Weapons Ban...
...a candidate who after himself going through so much loss has never given up. I am proud to be casting my ballot for Vice President @JoeBiden ! A true can-do candidate!

THE TRUMP FILE

We have a folder of images we created from early 2017 on Trump that were (every single one of them) meant to be a warning for anyone willing to consider them and think of what they portended for his presidency.

We call it ‘The Trump File’.
THE TRUMP FILE

These images were not created from a genesis of hate or hatred.

The predominant emotion was fear, fear of what was inevitably to come when a socialized psychopath found his way to the top of the political tree in the USA.
THE TRUMP FILE

As and when we posted these images they were rarely re-tweeted or liked by anyone.

We don’t know exactly why they were largely ignored.

Perhaps people still retained trust in Trump’s anti-war promises or his warm words regarding Russia.

 This video is a compilation of the ridiculous remarks & lies aired by certain DC politicians & MSM about #Iran & the killing of Qassem Soleimani.

Please watch to the end of this 1:51 video & you’ll realize that #IraniansDetestSoleimani.
2)
 Now let’s see a few examples from mainstream media.
The @nytimes described Soleimani as a
- “popular general”
- “national war hero”
- “Iran’s intrigue”
3)
 @ForeignPolicy described Soliemani as a “patriotic moderate” and claims his killing “Has United Iranians Like Never Before.”

Iran apologists/lobbyists claim “large crowds” turned out for Soleimani’s funeral.

The thread below debunks their claims.

Thread:

By taking a closer look at the Quds Force, which Soleimani commanded until his death, one can better understand the role and significance he had within the regime of #Iran
Quds Force is a branch of Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), a military body founded shortly after the 1979 revolution with the sole purpose of suppressing domestic opposition against the regime and waging wars beyond Iran’s borders under the disguise of national security
The raison-d’être of IRGC is to expand the fundamentalist ideology of the mullahs. Interestingly, the IRGC’s full name doesn’t even include “Iran,” which alludes to its expansionist and extraterritorial mission which often results in killings, terrorist acts and hostage-taking.

Let’s have some straight talk on #Soleimani, shall we?
1. Suleimani took command of the Quds Force over 20 years ago and his job is to reshape the Middle East in Iran’s favor: thru military force, by assassinating rivals and arming allies.
2. His twenty year focus is directing
a network of militant groups that has killed hundreds of U.S in #Iraq and others.
3. I know of only ONE American who has ever met him, John Maguire, describing him as soft-spoken yet the most powerful man in the MidEast. Thoughtful, strategic, smart, charismatic - 100% dedicated
4. He personally runs #Iran’s war in #Syria and brought in thousands of #Quds Force when #Assad’s army began to fail.
5. Suleimani and #Nasrallah of #Hezbollah #Lebanon are old friends and cooperate globally where Hezbollah has performed terrorist acts at Iran’s behest.

1)
 The @nytimes’ blind hatred of U.S. President Donald Trump has now pressed this outlet to the point of defending #Iran’s murderous mullahs acquiring nuclear weapons.

Congratulations to NYT.
You have officially become a mullah mouthpiece.
2)
 The NYT piece accuses Trump of leaving no room for diplomacy.
Which is nothing but a lie & an obvious NYT tactic.

NYT prefers a return to the Obama years.

Read this thread about how I, as an Iranian, feel about the Obama years.
3)
 Of course, I expect nothing else from NYT, with its ties to Iran’s regime.

This thread explains.
