President Biden addresses the nation on the United States' response to the ongoing Israel-Hamas and Russia-Ukraine wars from the White House’s Oval Office.

Well, well, well. Looks like this wasn’t a done deal after all, eh?What took them so long?The United States and Qatar have agreed to block Iran’s access to $6 billion in funds recently transferred to the nation as part of a deal between Washington and Tehran that led to the release of five imprisoned Americans from Iran last month.Wally Adeyemo, the deputy Treasury secretary, told House Democrats on Thursday that Iran would no longer have access to the funds, according to a person familiar with the matter. The money was under close supervision and strict conditions that it be used...

President Joe Biden’s administration announced on Tuesday there were no plans to claw back and re-freeze $6 billion in Iranian assets after Tehran-backed Hamas launched the deadliest attack against the country of Israel in decades. In an interview with Fox News, National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby said there are no plans to re-freeze those assets, which were released about a month ago. “The $6 billion, that the Qataris are holding that was unfrozen in order to get three hostages back.” Fox News’ Martha MacCallum said, asking: “Is that money now going to be refrozen?” “I don’t...

Joe Biden and his staff of execrables are liars of epic proportion. That muppet Karine Jean-Pierre does nothing but spew lies. John Kirby ("I saw no chaos in the Afghanistan withdrawal") is an absolute disgrace to the Navy. How that ahole got to be an Admiral makes me shudder. Mayorkas tells us that the border is secure. Biden, even in his few lucent moments, does nothing but lie to America. But here is a graphic reason of why I believe absolutely nothing any of these scumbags say. Here's that pasty white POS Jake Sullivan (who spread Russian collusion and Alfa...

Former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) is calling on President Biden to refreeze $6 billion in Iranian funds in the wake of the recent attacks on Israel by Hamas. In a lengthy address laying out a five-step plan to address the escalating conflict in Israel, McCarthy took aim at the Biden administration for its prisoner swap with Iran and its decision to unfreeze $6 billion in frozen Iranian funds in exchange for the freedom of five wrongfully detained American citizens. “Biden’s policy on appeasement, including money for hostage deals, must come to an end,” McCarthy said Monday. “His policy has only...

The atrocities that occurred during the Iranian-backed Hamas attacks and invasion of Israel cannot be ignored. We must acknowledge how this happened. Logically, what happens when the largest state-sponsor-of-terrorism is able to free up billions of dollars now being sent for verifiable purchases? They are able to fund their terror operations with less restrictions. President Biden’s strategy rests on trusting the Iranians. It’s foolish, dangerous and we refuse to do it. This attack was more evil and complex than ever before and requires the world to react in united support of Israel. I am calling on all Abraham Accords and...

Former President Donald Trump on Monday accused his successor Joe Biden of betraying one of the nation's closest allies amid the chaos and tragedy in Israel. Trump touted his own withdrawal of the U.S. from the Iran nuclear deal, and his Muslim travel ban, as examples of why he would have handled the crisis better. He said: 'When I was Commander in Chief, we reduced the Iranian economy to rubble, I withdrew from the disastrous Iran nuclear deal, imposed the toughest-ever sanctions on the regime, and imposed a strict TRAVEL BAN to keep Radical Islamic Terrorists the hell out of...

We've honestly lost count of the number of Leftists, Democrats, and actual Biden toadies trying to pretend the $6 billion in question had nothing to do with the attacks on Israel. It's as if talking points went out near and FAR to cover this administration's backside. There's just one problem with this ... most people understand what the word 'fungible' means. Oh, and then there's this thread as well: 🧵I'm sorry Jen but you are simply unfamiliar with Iranian budgeting practices and how the Iranian regime and Hamas make decisions. 1. Iran normally has to allocate its limited foreign exchange...
