Earlier this week, I traveled to Brussels, Belgium and Sochi, Russia as part of the press delegation accompanying US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on his latest overseas trip.  Pompeo made headlines over his meetings with top Russian officials, including Vladimir Putin -- and as we landed back in the United States early Wednesday morning, news was breaking about the serious precautions the Trump administration had begun to implement in response to what it terms 'real' and 'escalating' global threats against Americans and American interests from the Iranian regime.  Though officials have been tight-lipped about the exact nature of the new intelligence, a New York Times report today suggests that the latest menace involves freshly-discovered Iranian sea-based missiles:

    The intelligence that caused the White House to escalate its warnings about a threat from Iran came from photographs of missiles on small boats in the Persian Gulf that were put on board by Iranian paramilitary forces, three American officials said. Overhead imagery showed fully assembled missiles, stoking fears that the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps would fire them at United States naval ships. Additional pieces of intelligence picked up threats against commercial shipping and potential attacks by Arab militias with Iran ties on American troops in Iraq.

Our founders had wisdom and foresaw a lot of things in the crafting of our Constitution and the founding of our nation.  But they could never have foreseen the level of sedition, treason and betrayal from some (most?) of the POSs in the Democratic Party.... like Hanoi Kerry.   I just wonder what it will take for Americans to hold those POSs responsible, finally, for their treachery.  A massive nuke attack?   By then it will probably be way too late.

Huh?  That was day to day life for them.  Not only was it all around them, they were doing it too.

Some apparently believe the party label separates good from bad
which is utterly hysterical horse manure.
Our first 5 were Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison and Monroe,
of which 3 were Democrats.
Our last 5 are Bush, Clinton, Bush, Obama and Trump,
of which 3 were Republicans.
WHICH 5 WERE BETTER FOR THE USA??????????
