See, thats where parents are remiss in teaching their children. I taught my children from a young age you dont act on every thought that comes into your head. You must think about them, if wrong, DONT DO IT. js
Looks like Russia has been taking notes from the Bidan admin.
IMO , I dont think Russia will do anything that the real Potus doesnt know about already.
Why would they shadow ban a lurker who has been here since August '18 and never caused a problem one?
Man wanted sex with Oshkosh child, gets 10 years in prison: DOJ
January 23,2022
MILWAUKEE - A Michigan man was sentenced to 10 years in federal prison, indicted after he expressed interest in having sex with a 15-year-old in Oshkosh, according to the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Wisconsin.
According to court filings, 42-year-old Scott Sundberg began chatting online with an Oshkosh woman, the teen's mother, in August 2021. During conversations, Sundberg allegedly sent videos containing child pornography and stated his desire to have sex with the 15-year-old child, according to a news release from the U.S. Department of Justice.
On Aug. 13, 2021, Sundberg traveled from Ishpeming, Michigan, to Oshkosh to meet the woman and her child at a local motel. Sundberg, a retired firefighter, brought a fire helmet for the child to wear during the proposed sexual activity. The "woman" was, in fact, an undercover law enforcement officer, and Sundberg was arrested upon his arrival at the meeting point.
At sentencing, the judge noted the "very serious nature" of the charge and the need for just punishment. Following his release from prison, Sundberg will spend six years on supervised release. He will also be required to register as a sexual offender.
Sundberg’s indictment and subsequent conviction were part of Operation Kick Boxer, a collaborative effort involving the Milwaukee and Green Bay Divisions of the FBI, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Wisconsin, and the Winnebago County Sheriff's Office.

Five lies that condemn Biden's Iran diplomacy
by Michael Rubin | January 23, 2022
The Biden administration’s efforts to engage Iran are on life support despite a year of near-constant concessions.
Rather than blame Tehran or acknowledge that Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has agency, White House press secretary Jen Psaki blames former President Donald Trump for the failure. "Iran’s increased capability and capacity, their aggressive actions that they have taken through proxy wars around the world, would be happening if the former president had not recklessly pulled out of the nuclear deal with no thought as to what might come next," she declared.
Psaki’s statement is dishonest. The 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, President Barack Obama’s signature Iran nuclear deal, legalized Iran’s nuclear program and offered Tehran tremendous financial rewards in exchange for temporary constraints on Iran’s nuclear enrichment. Rather than help ordinary Iranians, sanctions relief and new investment poured disproportionately into Revolutionary Guards coffers and financed its malign activities in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Bahrain, and Yemen.
Returning to the deal would be a big mistake. Consider five problems with the agreement, both then and now.
1) The final deal contradicted Obama’s guarantees. Obama repeatedly assured the public that his nuclear diplomacy would address key concerns such as Iran’s underground nuclear bunker and its illicit enrichment. When he unveiled the deal, though, it legalized both.
2) The deal weakened nonproliferation efforts. The White House and its surrogates repeated the talking point that the deal cut off Iran’s path to nuclear weapons. The reality, however, was that it reversed decades of counterproliferation precedent that required states to give up their nuclear infrastructure and submit to decades of intrusive inspections.
3) An end run around Congress. Obama and his aides implied their deal was like a treaty, but not only did they never submit it for Senate ratification, they also maneuvered so that the deal never required majority support. Congress never trusted the White House, though, and so required access to all side deals. Obama reneged on this promise, believing he had a fait accompli. Good deals stand on their merits; they don’t need end runs.
4) The hostage ransom. In 2016, I testified in Congress about Obama's hostage ransom. Two State Department officials denied payments were a ransom, but, in hindsight, they lied about not only the ransom, but also its amount.
5) Ignoring Congress. As Biden has sought to revive the nuclear deal, he, Secretary of State Antony Blinken, and Iran envoy Rob Malley have reportedly green-lighted tens of billions of dollars in sanctions relief. They may think the price is worth it, but it is not alone their call: The White House and State Department have ignored more than two dozen congressional inquiries into the proposed relief. Once again, ignoring oversight forfeits confidence; it does not build it.
Trump’s withdrawal from the JCPOA was inelegant, even if it was legal. It would have been better if Trump had pushed the types of intrusive inspections of dual-use military sites that Tehran rejected and pushed Iran into violations, if not its own unilateral withdrawal. There would have been no need to back away from the deal, however, if it did its job. The simple fact is it did not. Both Obama and Biden and the team of staffers they shared realize this, though, hence their dissimulation and obfuscation.
If Biden wants bipartisan support, he must start his negotiations at home and address the real concerns that Republicans have with his Iran strategy. America is at its most effective on the world stage when its strategies have bipartisan backing. Conversely, when the White House tries a political end run, what results is not a triumph, but a train wreck.

Seoul says it paid Iran’s delinquent UN dues to restore vote
Jan 23, 2022
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Using Iranian bank funds freed from American sanctions, South Korea has paid Iran’s $18 million in delinquent dues owed to the United Nations, Seoul said Sunday. The step was apparently approved by Washington to restore Tehran’s suspended voting rights at the world body.
The South Korean Foreign Ministry said Seoul had paid the sum using Iranian assets frozen in the country after consulting with the United States Treasury — a potential signal of flexibility amid floundering nuclear negotiations.
The ministry said it expected Iran’s voting rights to be restored immediately after their suspension earlier this month for delinquent dues.
