>>17440976, >>17440985, >>17440988 Iran nuclear deal being pushed by Biden weaker than original version under Obama

Excerpt from article on Iran:

Most notably, the U.S. is expected to abrogate multiple Trump-era executive orders, which will lift sanctions on dozens of individuals and entities without congressional review, according to people familiar with the matter. Most notably, the Biden administrationwould likely end Executive Order 13876, which imposed sanctions on the Iranian supreme leader's office and a host of Iranian officials accused of terrorism and human rights abuses. These sanctions were unrelated to Iran's nuclear program.

Comment: if bidan negates this EO, he has effectively negated all leaders in the US and world that colluded with Iran including Barry, this a huge EO and covers many areas

my concern is how many other EO's will bidan try to negate

'Liberal elites' pressured Pfizer to delay COVID vaccine approval in bid to hurt Trump: Nate Silver

Silver's comments paint a narrative that aligns with comments from Trump

August 25, 2022 - 6:06pm

Political pollster Nate Silver claimed on Thursday that the nation's "liberal elites" pressured pharmaceutical company Pfizer to slow the approval process for its COVID-19 vaccine and consequentially deny former President Donald Trump a political win ahead of the presidential election in 2020.

“‘Trump pushed for vaccine approvals too fast’ is the worst possible critique of the Trump administration’s COVID policy,” Silver wrote in reaction to a Politico story outlining the former president's push for an expedited approval process for COVID-19 treatments.

"Also, the late 2020 push from liberal public health elites that persuaded Pfizer to change its original protocols — and had the convenient side-effect of delaying any vaccine announcement until after the election — deserves more scrutiny," he added in a follow up Tweet.

Outside of vaccines, theTrump White House reportedly pushed the Food and Drug Administration to approve the use of hydroxychloroquine as a COVID-19 treatment, according to the New York Post.

Silver's comments paint a narrative that aligns with comments from Trump, who previously blasted the company for deliberately delaying its vaccine to his political detriment, the Post noted.

(If the FDA approved HCQ and Ivermectin there would have been very few people that took the vaccine, imo)

Letter: School shooter fixated with guns, dreamed of killing

By TERRY SPENCERtoday

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — Four years before Nikolas Cruz murdered 17 people at a Florida high school, therapists at another school wrote a letter to his psychiatrist saying he was fixated on guns and dreamed of killing others and being covered in blood, testimony at his penalty trial showed Thursday.

Dr. Brett Negin, testifying for the defense, said he never received it.Negin and another psychiatrist who treated Cruz in the decade leading up to the Feb. 14, 2018, massacre at Parkland’s Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School testified during Thursday’s abbreviated court session about the various medications he was given for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and other issues. Both said under cross-examination by prosecutors they never saw anything that would have led them to believe he was capable of mass murder.

But Negin, who treated Cruz from 2012 into August 2017, was then shown by the defense a June 2014 letter written to him by a psychiatrist and therapist at Cross Creek School, a campus attended by students with emotional and behavioral problems.

Dr. Nyrma N. Ortiz and therapist Rona O’Connor Kelly’s two-page letter addressed to Neginsays Cruz, then 15, was experiencing extreme mood swings, adding, “He is usually very irritable and reactive.” They said he is “inappropriately” obsessed with guns and the military, defiant, verbally aggressive toward his teachers, paranoid and places the blame on others for the problems he creates.

“At home, he continues to be aggressive and destructive with minimal provocation,” the two wrote. He destroyed a television after losing a video game, punched holes in walls and used sharp objects to cut up the furniture and carve holes in the bathroom. He had a hatchet that he used to chop a dead tree in the back yard, but his mother reported she could no longer find it.

Cruz shared at school “he dreams of killing others and is covered in blood.”

The two said he had been assessed for hospitalization, but that never happened. They said they were writing Negin so he could adjust Cruz’s medication.

Negin testified Thursday he never received the letter and no one followed up with him when he didn’t respond. He said Cross Creek’s typical procedure if the staff was having problems with one of his patients was to have a counselor come to his office with the student and parents to discuss the issue.

“This did not happen one time with Mr. Cruz,” Negin said.

Negin also testified that in 2013 he wrote a letter for Cruz’s mother supporting his voluntary hospitalization. That also never happened. Office and home numbers for Ortiz were disconnected. O’Connor Kelly did not immediately respond to an email Thursday seeking comment.

The defense is trying to show that Cruz, 23, had a long history of mental health issues that were never fully treated. He pleaded guilty in October to the murders — the trial is only to decide whether he is sentenced to death or life without parole.

The defense is trying to overcome the prosecution’s case, which ended earlier this month. It featured surveillance video of Cruz, then 19, mowing down students and staff with an AR-15-style semiautomatic rifle as he stalked a three-story building for seven minutes, photos of the aftermath and a jury visit to the building.

For Cruz to receive a death sentence, the seven-man, five-woman jury must be unanimous. If one juror votes for life, that will be his sentence.

Trump-appointed judge will handle request for 'special master' instead of Reinhart

Cannon has already made one ruling in the case

Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart, who approved the initial warrant the FBI used to search Donald Trump's Florida home, will not handle the former president's request to appoint a "special master" in the case.

U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, a Trump appointee, will decide the issue. Cannon was confirmed by the Senate in 2020 in a 56-21 vote, according to the Epoch Times. Cannon has already made one ruling in the case, declining to allow filings from two of Trump's attorneys for not following the rules that apply to lawyers not yet certified in the district.

Agents from the FBI's Washington Field Office raided Trump's Mar-a-Lago compound in early August seeking classified documents he may have removed from the White House. Reinhart issued the warrant despite previously recusing himself in a civil case filed by Trump against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and others over the Russia collusion scandal.

Trump, on Monday, filed a motion to appoint a "special master" to independently review the documents the FBI took from his home and to halt the federal government from continuing its own review.

Reinhart, however, could hypothetically return to the case, the Epoch Times noted. One docket entry the outlet cited says that Reinhart “is available to handle any or all proceedings in this case,” which requires the consent of both parties.

Biden names new a Secret Service director as the agency faces controversy

August 24, 20228:02 PM ET

WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden on Wednesday namedKim Cheatle, a veteran Secret Service official, to be the agency's next director as it faces controversy over missing text messages around the time thousands of supporters of then-President Donald Trump stormed the U.S. Capitol.

Cheatle, who left the Secret Service in 2021 for a job as a security executive at PepsiCo, takes the reins as multiple congressional committees and the Department of Homeland Security's internal watchdog are investigating the missing text messages, which the Secret Service has said were purged during a technology transition.

Cheatle had served in the Secret Service for 27 years and was the first woman to be named assistant director of protective operations, the division that provides protection to the president and other dignitaries.

Cheatle had served on Biden's protective detail when he was vice president. During that time, Biden "came to trust" her judgment and counsel, he said in a statement.

Biden said that her and first lady Jill Biden "know firsthand Kim's commitment to her job and to the Secret Service's people and mission."

Cheatle replaces James Murray, who had announced his retirement to take a position with Snap, the social media company best known for its app, Snapchat. He announced last month that he would delay his retirement amid the investigations while Biden looked for a new director.

The Secret Service has faced increasing criticism after admitting that text messages from around the time of the attack of Jan. 6, 2021, on the Capitol were deleted.

The agency has said the messages were purged when its phones were migrated to a new system in the weeks after the 2021 attack.

Rep. Stephanie Murphy, D-Fla., a member of the House committee investigating the attack, has said the Secret Service told the committee that it left it up to individual agents to decide what electronic records to keep and what to delete during the process.

The committee has taken a recent, renewed interest in the Secret Service following the dramatic testimony of former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson about Trump's actions on the day of the insurrection.

The Secret Service has said all procedures were followed and pledged "full cooperation" with all of the reviews and investigations, including a criminal investigation by the Homeland Security's inspector general.

Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said Cheatle "is a law enforcement veteran and served as the first female assistant director in charge of all protective operations for the agency before retiring."

"We are ecstatic to welcome her back as the next Director of the United States Secret Service," he said in a tweet.

Anons have to know this is an attack on Republicans, so can we dig on democrats who received loan forgiveness of the commies. I'm pretty sure most people received loan forgiveness, this wasn't isolated to republicans.

Did Paul Pelosi have a ton forgiven, wouldn't be surprised if a Hunter Biden company received it to.

Lets get a full list out there of all the democrat fucks that had major loans forgiven.

Ex-AG Barr: Trump extorting GOP by backing own slate of midterm candidates

By Mark Moore August 25, 2022 12:00pmpart 1 of 2

Former Attorney General Bill Barr accused former President Donald Trump Thursday of practicing “extortion” on the Republican Party by endorsing his own batch of candidates in “pursuit of a personal agenda” at a time when the GOP should be making huge electoral gains.

“This pursuit of a personal agenda and personal power is weakening the Republican Party at a time when it could have a historic victory and make historic progress in ‘making America great again,'” Barr said in an interview published on Bari Weiss’ “Common Sense” Substack.

“The tactic that Trump is using to exert this control over the Republican Party is extortion,” the former AG added. “What other great leader has done this? Telling the party, ‘If it’s not me, I’m going to ruin your election chances by telling my base to sit home. And I’ll sabotage whoever you nominate other than me.’ It shows what he’s all about. He’s all about himself.”

Bill Barr claimed that former President Donald Trump’s “pursuit of a personal agenda and personal power is weakening the Republican Party.

Barr told Weiss the “sharp leftward turn” of the Democratic Party is creating possibilities for Republicans to “seize a decisive victory” along the lines of Ronald Reagan’s election in 1980.

But instead of taking advantage, Barr claimed the party is wasting precious time purging members it considers RINOs, or Republicans in name only.

“This is how I see the Republican Party: There’s never been more consistent conservatism within the Republican Party than there is today,” he said. “The idea that there are RINOs, people that really don’t support Republican principles, is simply not true.

Earlier this month, Rep. Liz Cheney lost her primary race in Wyoming to Trump-backed Harriet Hageman.

“What the president is defining as RINOs are people who are true-blue Republicans and conservatives but who just have a problem with Trump personally. This is all personal to Trump,” he continued.

The former president, Barr went on, wields his power by forcing the party to accept his agenda and his candidates or threatening: “I’m taking my ball and going home.”

“‘I will sabotage anyone you put up.’ He not only does that in the presidential election, but he’ll also do that in state elections. ‘It’s my person or it’s sabotage,'” he said.

Since being ousted in the 2020 presidential election, Trump has focused on paying back those who he thinks wronged him during his four years in office, with special attention to the 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach him for his role in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.

Earlier this month, Rep. Liz Cheney, one of two Republicans on the House select committee investigating the riot, lost her primary race in Wyoming to Trump-backed Harriet Hageman.

Of the group of 10, only two have remained to face opponents in the general election.

In the wide-ranging interview, Barr, who announced he was stepping down as attorney general on Dec, 14, 2020, alsoweighed in on special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigationinto Trump’s alleged ties to Russia during the 2016 election and the FBI raid on the former president’s Florida resort, Mar-a-Lago….

Ex-AG Barr: Trump extorting GOP by backing own slate of midterm candidates

Part 2 of 2

Since being ousted in the 2020 presidential election, Trump has focused on paying back those who he thinks wronged him during his four years in office.

He said he had “no regrets” over how he handled the Mueller report but criticized the special counsel, saying Mueller “threw this hot potato into the political process and the body politic.”

“I don’t think he was on top of his game. I think he made some very serious errors. The whole reason [former Deputy Attorney General] Rod Rosenstein brought him in is to have someone authoritative deal with it,” Barr said. “Once this issue was raised, it was important to have someone speak to the country and tell them what he had found.

“But he goes out and hires partisan Democrats to make up his investigative team, which means half the country is going to be suspicious from the very beginning,” he went on. “That defeated the whole purpose of naming him. I think it was pretty evident within a few months of his taking the position that there had been no collusion.

“But instead of stopping it at that point and letting the country move on, he took two instances that clearly were not obstruction and which even his final report doesn’t try to argue were obstruction,” Barr concluded.

Speaking about the Jan. 6 rampage, in which a mob of the former president’s supporters converged on the Capitol to disrupt certification of the 2020 election results, Barr said it was a “shameful incident” but not one that rose to the level of a constitutional crisis.

“I don’t think it was a constitutional crisis in the sense of the Constitution failing, which would be the Biden administration actually being stopped from taking office,” he said. “But it was a shameful episode. It was a shameful riot. And the president certainly precipitated it.”

He also defended the integrity of the FBI, which has come under attack from Trump and his supporters following the Aug. 8 raid that searched for classified documents removed from the White House.

”Number one is that I think a lot of the attacks on the FBI are over the top because a decision like this is not made by the FBI,” Barr said. “In fact, I don’t think the FBI would push a decision that it’s best to go in and search and obtain those documents after being jerked around for a year and a half.”

“I think the idea that the FBI is the problem here is misplaced,” Barr added.

He also cautioned people against leaping to conclusions about whether Trump broke any laws by storing the documents in Florida because much of the information about what they contain is still unknown.

“One: What is the nature of the highly classified information? How sensitive were these documents? Second: What is the evidence, if any, of active conceit by the president or those around him in Mar-a-Lago to mislead the government?” Barr said.

“Until you answer those two questions, it’s hard for me to say whether or not it was justified. I think people who are taking a knee-jerk position on both sides really should wait and see what that evidence is.”

When asked if he thought Attorney General Merrick Garland would decide to prosecute Trump over the cache of sensitive documents, Barr suggested “exacerbating circumstances” would be necessary to take such a drastic step, “like very sensitive information and information that shows that the president knew what he was doing and that he misled the government.” (that is one stupid comment, he certainly knows that this is unconstitutional)
