Nancy Pelosi went on George Stephanopoulos’s show on Sunday trying to build the narrative that the protests the world is seeing in Iran were the result Iran’s downing of the airliner that killed more than 170 people. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi downplayed these protests.

“The protesters are protesting — as I understand it, this brand of protesters — about the fact that that plane went down,” Pelosi said in an interview with ABC News Chief Anchor George Stephanopoulos on “This Week on Sunday.”

Soleimani vs bin Laden

sunbeam January 13, 2020 Comments Off

Inevitably, the killing of Qassem Soleimani begets a comparison to the killing of Osama bin Laden. Both men were deadly enemies of the United States. Both were responsible for deadly attacks on Americans. Both were killed in foreign lands without the approval of the local authorities — bin Laden in Pakistan and Soleimani in Iraq.

But that’s where the similarities end.

Trump’s Speech On Wednesday

Trump's statement this morning about the Iranian missile attack was the best presidenting I've ever seen in terms of clarity, intention, persuasion, tone, and likely effectiveness. This one goes in the text books in terms of technique, no matter how things turn out.

I concur.

In straightforward, lucid terms, Trump hit all the right notes.

As Andrea Widburg noted,

Results of Soleimani’s Demise

sunbeam January 7, 2020 Comments Off

Democratic politicians can whine about not being notified in advance, but, today, the United States, Israel, the Sunni Arab nations, and freedom-loving people everywhere should sleep a little easier, knowing that one of the world’s most notorious terrorists, Qassam Soleimani, has been eliminated from the face of the planet. Of course, reaction to the news that a terrorist of Soleimani’s stature was taken out by American forces acting under the direction of the President was mixed.

In general the Democratic reaction was along the lines of “Soleimani was an evil man but…” Many elite Democrats warned of destabilization occurring in the region because of America’s actions.

Qassem Soleimani, The Man

On Friday night Jan 3, 2020, America killed IRGC Commander Gen. Qassem Soleimani at the Baghdad International Airport. Just who was Qassem Soleimani?

FACT: Soleimani was commander of Iran’s Quds Force. He had been commander of the Quds Force for more than two decades.

FACT: Iran is the biggest supporter of state-sponsored terrorism in the world. Soleimani was the architect of Iran’s foreign policy and strategy as principal adviser to the theocratic leadership.

A Conversation With Robert O’Brien

National Security Advisor Robert O’Brien appeared on ABC This Week with Jonathan Karl to discuss a number of issues. Among them was North Korea. Karl attempted to use former advisor John Bolton comments to undermine PDJT’s approach.

O’Brien does a very credible job of rebutting Karl’s comments. He noted that President Obama had advised PDJT that a hot war was quite possible on the Korean peninsula. O’Brien also noted that no progress had been made under the previous three administrations with North Korea.

Media Bias Exposed

sunbeam December 27, 2019 Comments Off

To finish off this week, I want to continue with the point I’ve been hammering away at for some time now:

The modern Democrat party is a bad joke that would disappear entirely except for the unwavering support of the corporate media.

The media is the Democrat Party’s marketing arm. The media decide what we talk about. The media decide how those conversations are characterized. The media is the reason we spent three years wallowing around in a discussion about whether or not the duly-elected President of the United States was in reality a Russian spy. The media is the reason we have an impeachment proceeding based solely on partisan hatred of the President.
