[AlAhram] The Ottoman Turkish parliament approved Erdogan's bill extending the deployment of military troops in Libya for 18 months
Libyan MPs decried on Wednesday the Ottoman Turkish parliament's approval of a bill on Tuesday submitted by President His Enormity, Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First ...Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him. It's a sin, a shame, and a felony to insult the president of Turkey. In Anatolia did Recep Bey a stately Presidential Palace decree, that has 1100 rooms. That's 968 more than in the White House, 400 more than in Versailles, and 325 more than Buckingham Palace, so you know who's really more important... to extend the deployment of military troops in war-torn Libya for 18 months.

[IsraelTimes] Argentine Jewish groups say they will appeal verdict clearing defendant, in 2nd trial, over 1994 terror attack on Buenos Aires Jewish center that killed 85.
The government of Iran must have been spreading around bribe money again.
Argentine Jewish groups were expecting a long-awaited victory on Wednesday in the 26-year struggle for justice in the 1994 AMIA Jewish center terrorist bombing, figuring there was enough evidence to convict the car mechanic accused of preparing the deadly boom-mobile.
But a federal court acquitted the defendant, Carlos Telleldin, in a second trial in the case. The court said it would not detail its decision until March 26, offering only a one-line decision "to acquit Carlos Alberto Telleldin for the facts that he was accused," Judge Andres Basso said.
[WASHINGTONEXAMINER] Federal Sherlocks revealed that a so-called "Enemies of the People" website that hurled accusations and threats at U.S. election officials in the wake of the 2020 presidential election was likely set up and operated by actors working for the Iranian regime.The FBI and the Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency said Wednesday that the two groups "possess highly credible information indicating Iranian cyber actors almost certainly were responsible for the creation of a website called Enemies of the People, which contained death threats aimed at U.S. election officials in mid-December 2020."
The bureau said it "has identified multiple domains, to include the main site ... that contained personal information and photographs for a number of U.S. officials and individuals from private sector entities involved with the 2020 election" and that "threatening emails were sent to the officials" from associated email accounts.
The website is offline.
"The post-election creation of the Enemies of the People website demonstrates an ongoing Iranian intent to create divisions and mistrust in the United States and undermine public confidence in the U.S. electoral process," the FBI and CISA said. "As referenced in Joint Cybersecurity Advisories [from late October] the FBI and CISA have previously warned that Iranian cyber actors were likely intent on influencing and interfering with the 2020 U.S. elections."

I never saw the site "Enemies of the People." It is doubtful the Dems need Iran, China or Russia to steal an election. That's not to say they didn't try to help steal the election in various ways. Most likely stealing the 2020 election began back in 2016. If we had an uncorrupted DOJ or FBEYE and not blinded by their hatred for Trump, they would have been all over this long ago. The Dem Party has been pre-occupied with destroying Trump since before the 2016 election. The media has done no favorable reporting on Trump during this whole time. RINOS also think they know more than the American people; they have been a part of the incessant, ongoing coup.
We have a couple of liberal friends who actually acknowedged the coup and said they were in favor of it. Personally, I think that is a terrible thing to say. With such friends, who needs enemies?
[GatewayPundit] Prosecutors have declined to file charges against a Vancouver Black Lives Matter Death Eater who followed the Proud Boys to a bar following a memorial for the Patriot Prayer member who had been murdered by Antifa ...the armed wing of the Democratic Party... in Portland — and ran over one of them with his vehicle.
The victim, Shane Moon, as well as other witnesses, say that it was a assassination due to his political beliefs. He was placed in intensive care following the attack, as he was bleeding from his brain, sustained damaged to his left temporal lobe, has a concussion and could not remember the impact.

At this point, why does it even matter?
The thugs get preferential treatment until the vigilantes take matters into their own hands. Then the bloodshed starts. Bloody Kansas all over again.
[FOXNEWS] The city of bankrupt, increasingly impoverished, reliably Democrat, Detroit ... ruled by Democrats since 1962. A city whose Golden Age included the Purple Gang... is trying a new tack during a year in which it, like many other U.S. cities, saw violent mostly peaceful protests and destruction in the streets.
Detroit has filed a lawsuit against Black Lives Matter activists, alleging a "civil conspiracy" and claiming the protests in the city "have repeatedly turned violent mostly peaceful, endangering the lives of police and the public," according to reports.
The city claims the activists participated in the conspiracy, "defamed" the mayor and police, and contends that the city should be awarded damages, The Intercept reported.
The city cites four protests that occurred in the city this year, and alleges that injuries to coppers included "cracked vertebrae, lacerations, and concussions," according to the report.

[JPost] A letter backing President-elect Joe Biden’s plan to reenter the Iran nuclear deal without any new conditions has garnered 150 signatures from House Democrats — enough to block any congressional bid to block the move. But not enough to approve a treaty
The sentiments in the letter are in direct contradiction to the urgings of the Israel lobby group AIPAC, others in the center-right pro-Israel community and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Those groups want Biden to at least renegotiate components of the deal, if not forge a new one, before rejoining the 2015 pact. The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action relieved sanctions on Iran in exchange for restrictions, monitored by outside observers, on the country’s nuclear program.
"We strongly endorse your call for Iran to return to strict compliance with the nuclear deal, the United States to rejoin the agreement, and subsequent follow-on negotiations," says the letter, which concluded its signature-gathering phase on Wednesday and is set to be sent to Biden.
The intended effect of the letter is to reassure Biden, who was vice president under President Barack Obama when the deal was negotiated by the United States and others, that he can rejoin the agreement without fear of pushback. The letter surpasses 146 names, the number needed to break the two-thirds majority that opponents of reentering the deal would need to override Biden’s veto of any legislation aimed at blocking reentry.
Biden says he wants to renegotiate some components of the deal once the US is back in, including the dates when restrictions on Iran’s uranium enrichment lapse. He also wants to negotiate limits on Iran’s missile development and its adventurism in the region while addressing Iran’s concerns about the actions of American allies.

The House can send this letter of support all day long; it will be up to the Senate to ratify. Otherwise it will just be Joe's little tea party.
Most Republicans and some Democrats knew that acquiescing to a nuclear armed Iran would be unpopular so they set the stage for some obfuscatory failure theater.
The vote shows that there's a very broad consensus in Iran's favor in the American political class.
Biden will get all legislative support he needs to make amends to Iran.

The illegal Iran Review Act.
I would contend that Congress is *required* to review and pass any Treaties by vote - they cannot simply legislate away their responsibilities - that would require a constitutional amendment.
But then I'm not a 'Constitutional Scholar'.

It pains me to ask this question, but how many of the options presented will be lies... or based on incomplete truths designed to encourage President Trump to make a decision more to the taste of the generals than what he would have chosen had he been allowed to know what they weren’t telling him?

Who can forget the US State Department's effort to "mediate constructive negotiations" with Canada regarding a maritime boundary. The result was to give Canada Georges Bank, a New England fishing ground since the seventeen hundreds and crush the United States scallop fisheries.
[CNBC] The Trump administration on Wednesday blamed Iran for a series of rocket attacks that targeted the U.S. Embassy in Iraq and warned against further aggression.
On Sunday, more than 20 rockets were launched at the heavily fortified Green Zone compound in Baghdad, where the U.S. Embassy, as well as other official buildings, are located.
“Some friendly health advice to Iran: If one American is killed, I will hold Iran responsible. Think it over,” Trump wrote on Twitter.
