Unlike the cozy relationship Hassan Rouhani had with Obama back in the day, President Trump has proven to be made of a of a whole different sort of intestinal metal. With tightening sanctions now beginning to tell on what could only be described as an economy in real trouble, President Rouhani doubled down on threats to 'increase uranium enrichment any amount he wants to'!
President Trump, meanwhile, seemed happy with giving Iran's leadership all the rope they wanted with which to ultimately hang themselves. And it wasn't helping that other nations were getting in line behind the US in support of a slow economic death.
For perspective, Iran had an estimated Gross Domestic Product (GDP) circa 2017 of about 450 billion, with a population of 80.6 million people. Iran's economy is characterized by the hydrocarbon sector, agriculture and services sectors, and a noticeable state presence in manufacturing and financial services. Contrast that to the US with a GDP of about 2 trillion supporting a population of 340 million.
The country's only real hope for this sponsor of terrorism was for Trump to be defeated by the Democrats in 2020. Should that happen, our newly elected socialist President would fall over his or her self to appease even demonic regimes such as this one.

As the news media sinks beneath the waves of credibility!
As the rating for media outlet shows like MSNBC have continued to plummet according to one source from Fox News, I couldn't help but notice that the academic community seemed to be taking notice.
For over two years, the sheer amount of group thinking drivel coming out of the boob tube has been appalling to many Americans. Rather than personalities, such as Rachael Maddow, acting as responsible and credible new sources, what is served instead is sheer garbage. Sure, if you are someone that supports the conspiracy theories of the Far Left, she sounds perfectly credible. However, for those who have even a modicum of intelligence, the lady is laughable at best!
However, if there is a silver lining to all this crap coming from so many sources, it's likely going to be found at our institutions of higher learning! For decades, many journalistic degree seeking students have suffered in classes that doggedly taught the finer (and frankly rather boring) elements of reporting responsibly. Well, now there could be some light at the end of the tunnel! Comedy! Why not give these kids the chance to become afternoon media entertainers! Why not teach them how to make millions by emulating talk show hosts like Rachel! A woman who has learned how to parse twist and mangle the truth, in a way that's even funny, most of the time! Let those students choose between the boring and often low paying avenue of precise and correct reporting for the much more lucrative and even clownish domain of the talk show imp. Take it away Rachel!

UN court: Russia must free detained Ukraine ships, sailors!
BERLIN – A
U.N. maritime tribunal has ruled that Russia must release three
Ukrainian naval vessels captured by Russia in November and release 24
detained sailors.
The Hamburg-based
International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea delivered its ruling
Saturday on the case Ukraine brought against Russia.
Tribunal president Jin-Hyun Paik said that judges decided Russia must "immediately" return the three ships to Ukraine's custody, and release the sailors and allow them to return to Ukraine. [Source: Fox News].

My opinion: Let me know how that works out for them. Right now, I'm laughing too hard!

What if?
As we move ever more swiftly towards
the 2020 Presidential election, I have had a growing concern over
just what the ever more desperate Democratic Party will do...
While the coup to overthrow the 2016
election of Donal Trump has now proven a bust (IG report to arrive in a few weeks), I have to still wonder what other
plots are afoot in the Deep State? Consider a few scenario... some are conjecture while others fact:
CONJECTURE: A group of leftist
wingnuts are secretly at work to effectively crash the Market towards
the end of 2019. The the Democrats will make it appear to be all Trumps fault.
FACT: A small group of Democrats
and Judges are pushing as many illegal migrants into the country as
possible (up to a million this year) in a coordinated effort to
dilute the Conservative vote. That effort is actually working quite well.
FACT: A concerted effort has
been underway to legalize mind altering drugs as a means of
population control. Take a stroll through San Francisco for confirmation.
FACT: A push to do away with
private health coverage to give those in power full and absolute control over who is cared for properly and who will be
allowed to suffer.
CONJECTURE: A dedicated group of
left-sided extremists have engineered video games that intentionally
help young minds that are already borderline psychotic to be pushed
over the line and who then commit mass murder, often with guns. In
parallel to this has been a push to restrict and control who has access to a gun.
FACT: A concerted effort to
install left leaning radicals in key institutions of learning. Their
motto, 'Brainwash the youth of today and the Republicans will
eventually go away'.
The last fact is the nature of the media itself.
Never in the history of 'news reporting' have I witnessed some many
media outlets who are dedicated to blathering the far left mantra,
push hatred towards a President and a desire to taint news
information going out, to such an extent, that today no one knows
what to believe. This is a surefire recipe for Civil War, plain and simple.
In a special broadcast by Glenn Beck, he was heard to remark, "The progressive endgame of top-down, bottom-up and
inside-out," he began. "They've been trying this for 100
years, to dismantle America as a global power. When they first
started they didn't hate America so much, they really thought they
could just transform it and make it into something really uber
strong. But now they want to dismantle capitalism, the free market
and America." Since that show Mr. Beck was shown the exit by the
left-leaning media.
