A GOOD RESPONSE ON THE “PROVOKING IRAN” TALK:
As I mentioned below, Iran has been at war with us for 40 years. The “provocation” may cause them to advance their operational timetable, but that’s more likely to advantage us than them.

ENEMIES OF THE PEOPLE: Embarrassing: ‘NBC Nightly News’ Turns Itself into Infomercial for Iranian Regime.
WELL, THAT’S SENSIBLE: Marine Corps authorizes concealed carry on bases after recent shootings. It’s still only a limited number of people, though. Much better than nothing, but not reaching as far as I would.
THAT’S DIFFERENT BECAUSE SHUT UP:
YEAH, THAT’S A REAL POSER: Can anti-Semitic attacks in New York be traced to the Nation of Islam?

HEY, LOOK: A.N.S.W.E.R., missing in action under Obama, is back.
Reminder: Even David Corn pointed out that they’re shameful commies of the worst sort.
This was no accident, for the demonstration was essentially organized by the Workers World Party, a small political sect that years ago split from the Socialist Workers Party to support the Soviet invasion of Hungary in 1956. The party advocates socialist revolution and abolishing private property. It is a fan of Fidel Castro‘s regime in Cuba, and it hails North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Il for preserving his country’s ”socialist system,“ which, according to the party‘s newspaper, has kept North Korea ”from falling under the sway of the transnational banks and corporations that dictate to most of the world.“ The WWP has campaigned against the war-crimes trial of former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic. A recent Workers World editorial declared, ”Iraq has done absolutely nothing wrong.“
Officially, the organizer of the Washington demonstration was International ANSWER (Act Now to Stop War & End Racism). But ANSWER is run by WWP activists, to such an extent that it seems fair to dub it a WWP front.
The press won’t mention this, of course, since the president is Republican.
OH, THEY ALREADY HAVE.
WOW, THAT’S QUITE A COINCIDENCE: “The New York Times published an eerie opinion piece on Thursday that used a potential attack on Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani as a hypothetical scenario hours before the head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ elite Quds Force was actually killed in remarkably similar fashion… ‘Is there an individual in an unfriendly country who cannot be apprehended? What if the former commander of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards, Qassem Soleimani, visits Baghdad for a meeting and you know the address? The temptations to use hypersonic missiles will be many,’ Simon wrote.”
HOW TRUMP DECIDED TO KILL SOLEIMANI: “It’s been one of his talking points: The Americans can find me any time, they just don’t dare hit me.” That calculation proved misguided.
VICTORY GIRLS: The Squad Has A Sad Over Soleimani. “The general rule is that if the Squad is upset over something, then something good for America probably just happened.”
John Ringo emails:
So far Trump has gotten the Democrats and the media (repetitive) to:
Defend terrorism
Defend pedophiles
Defend rapists
Defend blackface
Defend mass murderers
And
Openly hate dogs.HE’S A FRICKING GENIUS!
Very stable, too.
OPEN THREAD: By now, you know what to do. At least, whenever Disqus starts working.
YEAH, DISQUS SEEMS TO BE BUSTED. I’ve emailed to try to get things fixed.
WOW: Gen. Petraeus on Qasem Soleimani’s killing: ‘It’s impossible to overstate the significance.’
