Obama hid efforts to aid Iran's windfall

The Obama administration — despite repeatedly assuring Congress that Iran would remain barred from the U.S. financial system — secretly mobilized to give Tehran access to American banks to convert the windfall of cash it received from sanctions relief under the 2015 nuclear deal into dollars, an investigative report by the Senate has revealed.

A copy of the report, obtained by The Washington Times, outlines how Obama-era State and Treasury Department officials discreetly issued a special license for the conversion to a major Omani bank and unsuccessfully pressured two U.S. banks to partake in the transaction, all while misleading lawmakers about the activities.

I'm usually silent on the women posted to the baker but the hypocrisy in some of the pictures posted bothers me. If this board is going to portray itself as a champion against underage girls being sexually used then maybe the women to the baker shouldn't look underaged. I know my 2 cents doesnt matter, but it bothers me seeing girls who look like girls, and not women, posted.

Not trying to change the culture of this board nor do I frequent reddit, but this board rants about sexual abuse and CDAN posts and the Harvey Weinsteins/Matt Lauers of the world and then post women who look as if they are bordering on teen. Anyone who says it hasn't is lying. Of course, it is free speech, but not all free speech is beneficial. Post what you want, but the validity of the message is weakened when anons rail about one thing and then do something different.

Nearly One Year Ago Scalise Was Struggling To Walk, Now He’s Back On The Baseball Field

House Majority Whip Steve Scalise is back on the baseball field nearly one year after he was tragically shot at a GOP congressional baseball practice in Alexandria, Va.

Scalise’s colleague, Republican Sen. Jeff Flake of Arizona, tweeted out a photo Wednesday of Scalise throwing a baseball in a full uniform. The photo shows Scalise’s cane in the dirt, which he still uses nearly one year after he was shot by James Hodgkinson at a practice for an annual congressional baseball game.

CNN Commentator: National Anthem is ‘Problematic’

CNN commentator Angela Rye said Tuesday that she believes the national anthem is “problematic in and of itself.”

Rye tore into Trump during a discussion about the president disinviting the Philadelphia Eagles from their White House victory celebration after only a handful of players committed to attending. (RELATED: Trump Cancels Eagles Reception Over National Anthem Protests)

“It’s just dishonest, right?” Rye said. “This isn’t about people who disagree with the partisan leanings of the president. There are Republicans who are my friends — this is about someone who trafficked in bigotry, xenophobia, and racism from the very beginning of his campaign.”

“We’re now going to end up in a midterm where we’re talking about the national anthem,” she added. “The national anthem is problematic in and of itself. There is a second verse that Colin Kaepernick brought attention to that has yet to be discussed on broad platforms.”

Many more Republican voters showed up yesterday than the Fake News thought possible. The political pundits just don’t get what is going on out there - or they do get it but refuse to report the facts! Remember, Dems are High Tax, High Crime, easy to beat!

A Growing List of U.S. Diplomats Acting Undiplomatically

WASHINGTON — President Trump has made a trademark of upending many of the diplomatic traditions that have defined American foreign policy for decades, angering a host of longtime allies. Now, a growing number of his ambassadors are doing the same.

This week, Richard Grenell, the newly installed United States ambassador in Berlin, outraged some in Germany when he told Breitbart London that he wanted to “empower other conservatives throughout Europe,” a direct political threat to Chancellor Angela Merkel’s governing coalition. Germany’s Foreign Ministry asked for a clarification.
