Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, is welcomed by Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez, in Havana, Cuba / AP There have been concerns regarding Iran's growing influence in Latin America for several years. In view of its hostile behavior toward the U.S., the latest of which was of four ships belonging to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) "harassing" an American destroyer in the Strait of Hormuz Tuesday. Although the reasons behind surrender of the American sailors to the Iranians in January are unclear and downright questionable, it certainly gave the impression that America is just a paper tiger.  Yes indeed, many names can be applied to "leading from behind"--indecisiveness. trepidation, cowardice, and possible treachery. Obama's precious nuclear "deal" with the Iranians only seems to have emboldened them. They are becoming evermore aggressive and dangerous. Their provocative actions could eventually for...

A missile is displayed during a military parade in Tehran / AP In a world becoming ever more dangerous every day, the denier in chief pooh poohs another obvious threat. Americans beware: whenever t he Pres dismisses anything, head for the hills because you know he's lying and whatever he is minimizing will come to pass like a tornado.  Here is a small sample of his recent prevarications: How great the economy is (the very next day a most dismal report came out)  ISIS is just a JV team.

Here is a list o f their  attacks so far in 2016 (Nice included). The New Black Panthers are a bunch of clowns [ aren't they aligned with BLM and ISIS]. As a result of his apparent lack of awareness (not really, he is obeying his handlers ) o ur weakness is now on a full museum type display. And now we have thi...

Clearly Iran is no friend to America. As the excerpts from the tw o articles in this post illustrate, it is obvious that either the White House and Iran are cosily in bed with each other, the Oval Office is stark raving staring mad, or t he U.S. has been sold out. Is the curren t bombast from the Iranians pure Kabuki meant only for the   viewing of the Iranian people or do they truly mean it. The American public had serious doubts about this deal from the beginning. Now that it has been revealed that assistant National security advisor  Ben Rhodes openly bragged about how our "President" duped the American people over the Iranian deal , and soon to come revelations about Iranian mistreatment of our sailors , one can hardly draw any conclusion other than America has been betrayed by those in charge.  It would appear that the softening up and/or destruction of America has been the endgame all along---as many have suspected. The only other alternatives are...
