Trump stands tall against Iranian attacks in Iraq

A Liz Sly on twitter tweeted Trump that his Benghazi is coming. Looks like Trump is no PUSSY. He protected Americans

This morning, many of us awoke to the news that a mob composed of an Iran-backed Iraqi Shiite militiamen and their supporters had targeted the U.S. embassy compound in Baghdad. The attack was the third phase in a series of back-and-forths between the United States and Kataeb Hezbollah, an Iraq-based branch of Hezbollah, Iran’s overseas terrorist organization.

Kataeb Hebollah had attacked an Iraqi base, killing an American contractor, as well as wounding many others. On Sunday, the U.S. launched a responsive airstrike that killed 25 Kataeb Hezbollah fighters. It was this airstrike that the mob used Tuesday to justify attacking the American embassy (which, is should be noted, is the same as attacking American soil directly).

In an early morning tweet on Tuesday, President Trump pithily brought the world up to date about events:

President Trump also tweeted out more specific information about the attack on the American embassy in Baghdad. He assured the world that Embassy personnel were safe, that the Embassy’s security had been reinforced, and that Iran could expect a certain and serious reprisal for the attack it had launched on American soil:

The U.S. Embassy in Iraq is, & has been for hours, SAFE! Many of our great Warfighters, together with the most lethal military equipment in the world, was immediately rushed to the site. Thank you to the President & Prime Minister of Iraq for their rapid response upon request....

Donald J. Trump
✔@realDonaldTrump

....Iran will be held fully responsible for lives lost, or damage incurred, at any of our facilities. They will pay a very BIG PRICE! This is not a Warning, it is a Threat. Happy New Year!

Within a short time of the President’s text messages, the Marine Corps Times posted an article detailing the support the Marines are delivering to the embassy in Baghdad:

A detachment of 100 Marines is deploying to Iraq to reinforce security at the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad after Iraqi protesters supportive of an Iran-backed Shiite militia attempted to storm the compound, U.S. Central Command said Tuesday. All U.S. personnel are secure and there are no plans to evacuate the embassy, the State Department told Military Times in a Tuesday email. The State Department added that the U.S. ambassador for Iraq, Matt Tueller, is returning to the embassy from previously scheduled personal travel. The Marines were requested by the U.S. State Department and their deployment was approved by Iraqi Security Forces, Central Command spokesman Mike Lawhorn told Military Times by phone Tuesday. Two Apache attack helicopters are providing over watch.

In addition to putting boots on the ground (and helicopters in the air) as fast as possible, Trump also let it be known that he was stacking up troops as close to Iran as possible:

The U.S. Army’s 82nd Airborne Division’s alert brigade has been issued orders to deploy rapidly to Kuwait amid the unrest in Baghdad, three U.S. defense officials told Fox News on Tuesday.

At least 750 paratroopers are set to deploy to the region immediately, Defense Secretary Mark Esper said in a statement.

The alert brigade of roughly 4,000 paratroopers, known as the DRB -- the Deployment Ready Brigade -- has been told to prepare for a possible deployment in the days ahead after hundreds of Iranian-backed militiamen tried to storm the U.S. embassy in Baghdad Tuesday.

Within that alert brigade, three rifle battalions had a certain alert sequence, 18 hours, 36 hours and 54 hours for the third. The entire brigade had a 96-hour alert window to deploy.

People on Twitter immediately noticed the difference between Trump’s immediate and overwhelming responses, both to the initial Kataeb Hezbollah attack and to the attack on the Embassy:

Trump himself is of course fully cognizant of the fact that he is blazing a different trail from that taken by Obama and Carter in the face of Iranian aggression:

During World War I, the British had a saying about the Germans: “The Hun is either at your throat or at your feet.” The point was that Germany was not an egalitarian society. If it felt that another nation was weak, it would pounce.

Osama bin Laden said much the same when he summed up the Arab world: “When people see a strong horse and a weak horse, by nature they will like the strong horse.” After eight years of Obama’s weak horse, one that spent its time nuzzling Iran’s feet, Trump’s aggressive approach will show whether a stronger approach will bring Iran to heel.

Report: Hunter Biden Accused of Multi-Million ‘Counterfeiting Scheme’ Linked to Burisma

A private investigation firm, hired by a woman in Arkansas seeking to resolve an ongoing child-custody dispute with the alleged father, Hunter Biden, has “lawfully” obtained documents that claim to confirm the former vice president’s son’s involvement in “a massive, $156 million ‘counterfeiting scheme,'” Fox News reported Monday.

Speaking to Fox News Monday, D&A Investigations, the Florida-based firm hired by the woman in Arkansas “claimed the FBI and Justice Department have been investigating PrivatBank, the Ukrainian natural gas company Burisma, Biden and others since April 2019 — and that the investigation remained open,” Fox News noted.

“The FBI told Fox News on Tuesday that, as a matter of policy, it does not confirm or deny the existence of ongoing investigations,” it added.

Hunter’s work for Burisma between 2014 — when his father was leading U.S. policy towards Ukraine as U.S. vice president — and 2016 is at the center of the Democrat’s efforts to impeach President Donald Trump.

Democrats argue that Trump asked Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden and his son Hunter to interfere in the upcoming presidential elections in November 2020.

The Democrats argue that Trump pressured Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate corruption allegations against Hunter’s employer Burisma.

In video footage, former Vice President Biden bragged that he pressured Ukraine to fire its top prosecutor who had investigated Burisma.

Fox News reported:

The bank records [allegedly obtained by the PI firm] “verify the counterfeiting scheme accumulating $156,073,944.24 with an average account value (monthly balance) in the amount of $6,785,823.66.” Burisma, the filing claimed, financed “Atlantic Council (Ukraine) and associated rogue operatives from the [U.S. State Department], FVEY, and CrowdStrike in Ukraine, suing PrivatBank.”

The alleged scheme is linked to CrowdStrike, a cybersecurity firm that President Donald Trump has said is in possession of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) server that was hacked during the 2016 campaign, a claim that Democrats and some allied fact-checkers have described as a conspiracy pushed by Russia. Trump’s enemies and critics, including many Democrats, have said Russia is the real DNC server hacker.

Fox News learned from the private investigators that the multi-million crime linked to Hunter Biden is part of a money-laundering scheme linked to Ukrainian company Burisma where the former VP’s son worked despite warnings from officials under former President Barack Obama that the company is corrupt.

According to its most recent filing with the court of Independence Country in Arkansas, on December 27, D&A claimed bank documents it obtained “bear exhibit identifier(s) known by [Hunter Biden] as the subject of criminal investigation(s) both adjudicated and ongoing, of which he is a party to.”

The PI firm also alleged that the bank records “provide the source and destination bank account numbers of Burisma Holdings Limited, PrivatBank, Bank of China, [Hunter Biden’s] business partners, Rosement Seneca Bohai,” and others.

Attorney’s hired by Hunter Biden are firing back against the explosive allegations against the son of former Vice President Biden, reported by the New York Post last week.

New Dem 2020 candidate Pete Buttigieg's father a known Marxist professor who supports Communist Manifesto

Washington Examiner Reports: The father of Democratic presidential hopeful Pete Buttigieg was a Marxist professor who spoke fondly of the Communist Manifesto and dedicated a significant portion of his academic career to the work of Italian Communist Party founder Antonio Gramsci, an associate of Vladimir Lenin. Joseph Buttigieg, who died in January at the age of 71, immigrated to the U.S. in the 1970s from Malta and in 1980 joined the University of Notre Dame faculty, where he taught modern European literature and literary theory. He supported an updated version of Marxism that jettisoned some of Marx and Engel's more doctrinaire theories, though he was undoubtedly Marxist.
He was an adviser to Rethinking Marxism, an academic journal that published articles “that seek to discuss, elaborate, and/or extend Marxian theory,” and a member of the editorial collective of Boundary 2, a journal of postmodern theory, literature, and culture. He spoke at many Rethinking Marxism conferences and other gatherings of prominent Marxists.
We may now finally know what the new Democrat 2020 hopeful for the Presidency in 2020 Pete Buttigieg may now be all about, as a report has surfaced highlighting the father of Buttigieg is a known Communist professor who supports the Communist Manifesto. With this family connection connecting Buttigieg to a known Marxist who supports the Communist Manifesto in the father of Buttigieg, an investigation should be launched immediately into Buttigieg and possible Communist connections...As Communism is actually illegal per law in the United States.
This Communist father of Buttigieg who has now announced his run for President, is just more simple proof of what the American Left and Democrat establishment is all about. Guesing that change that Buttigieg has been talking about for America would probably be Communism. More than likely Buttigieg is a copy of his father, as they say like father like son...And in this case it's a Communist Manifesto supporting known Marxist professor father who has a son running for the Democrats for President in 2020.
