I told many McCarthy fanbois on this forum that McCarty was a sneaky snake and I was proven right.

Would be good to know what the actual status of that money is. Can we ever get some of it back or has it already been dispersed?

"Ukraine is the backdoor to Europe"

The Ukraine is front door to Russia, a well-used path of invasion both from Russia and to Russia. There is no way that Russia can allow NATO to squat right along its border in the best spot to invade Russia.

“The terrorists responsible for this ongoing war against Israel were trained and equipped by Iran, the same terror state providing lethal drones to Russia to attack Ukraine. There must be consequences for those who conduct or support such terror. ”Failure to support friends under attack – in Kyiv or Tel Aviv – will only embolden the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism and fellow authoritarians who watch closely for a weakening of American leadership and Western solidarity.”

McConnell just couldn't resist putting this on equal footing as Ukraine. But somehow even this guy who freezes up, knows Iran led this attack, yet Th Biden administration just isn't sure...

Deep State told McCarthy he’s running for Speaker again, as I predicted.

Good questions.

I assume it’s gone, but can’t know.

I think Blinken said they haven’t spent a dime of it. Well, it sure makes for one good line of credit.

Maybe Biden got indigestion from the burgers at the Barbeque he was holding at the White House

I said they should do this yesterday:


CNN Anchor Dana Bash to Secretary of State Blinken: I know and want to state that that money has not yet been unfrozen. Iran does not yet have it.

If that's true, then rescind the deal and hold onto the money.

Why move forward with releasing those funds now while this war is going on?

Fair enough. Another issue.

Like I said, the issue is too complex for me to have a valid opinion. Well except this: I dont think there are any good options. We just need to find the least bad option. And I simply do not trust the Biden regime to do that.

He’s lying again. He said he wouldn’t run and now here he is. Who can ever trust him? He couldn’t keep his word for a week!

Why do you say he is running? He is just speaking out as a member of Congress.

The Media and White House has spent all day to let everyone know that the $6 billion was in fact Iran’s money and it is being used for “humanitarian” expenses only.
They are grinding this bs story into the ground. Saying anything else is misinformation.
I liked what a guy on the radio said today, that Iran could spend their money elsewhere out of their budget knowing that the humanitarian funds and such were going to be covered.

When Obama chose to send 1.7 billion to Iran, my belief at the time, and still is, that the radicals who overthrew the Shah and his government, and turned Iran into a 3rd world craphole, were not entitled to any of that money. The money held by the U.S. was paid by the Shah’s government for military equipment. It never got the equipment because there was a coup, and the government was dissolved. The country was taken over by radicals, who swarmed our Embassy, and took American hostages. It was never the radicals’ money to begin with. They weren’t in power when that money was paid to the U.S., and they never should have been given one cent of it, ever.

It’s all over that he’s running. If he’s not, that’s great.
