Pentagon: U.S. Airstrike Killed Iranian Commander Qassem Soleiman

BAGHDAD (AP) — The Pentagon said Thursday that the U.S. military has killed Gen. Qassem Soleimani, the head of Iran’s elite Quds Force, at the direction of President Donald Trump.

An airstrike killed Soleimani, architect of Iran’s regional security apparatus, at Baghdad’s international airport Friday, Iranian state television and three Iraqi officials said, an attack that’s expected to draw severe Iranian retaliation against Israel and American interests.

The Defense Department said Soleimani “was actively developing plans to attack American diplomats and service members in Iraq and throughout the region.” It also accused Soleimani of approving the attacks on the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad earlier this week.

A statement released late Thursday by the Pentagon said the strike on Soleimani “was aimed at deterring future Iranian attack plans.”

The strike also killed Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, deputy commander of Iran-backed militias in Iraq known as the Popular Mobilization Forces, or PMF, Iraqi officials said. The PMF media arm said the two were killed in an American airstrike that targeted their vehicle on the road to the airport.

Citing a Revolutionary Guard statement, Iranian state television said Soleimani was “martyred” in an attack by U.S. helicopters near the airport, without elaborating.

U.S. President Donald Trump, who was vacationing on his estate in Palm Beach, Florida, but sent out a tweet of an American flag.

Their deaths are a potential turning point in the Middle East and if the U.S. carried them out, it represents a drastic change for American policy toward Iran after months of tensions.

Tehran shot down a U.S. military surveillance drone and seized oil tankers. Meanwhile, the U.S. blames Iran for a series of attacks targeting tankers, as well as a September assault on...

Ted Cruz Torches MSNBC Host Joy Reid After It Appeared She Was Rooting For Another Benghazi

It is a sad day in America when the people of one Party appear to actually be rooting for the deaths of United States personnel in order to advance a political narrative.

Watching on Twitter in the hours of the siege on the American embassy in Iraq you would have been hard pressed to figure out who the Democrats were rooting for.

In many cases it really appeared to this writer that many of them were actively cheering on the terrorists, hoping for another Benghazi so they could blame President Donald trump.

Chief among them was MSNBC anchor Joy Ann Reid who tweeted “As Trump’s Benghazi unfolds in Iraq…” as he shared a tweet from a self-proclaimed bot.

Reid was swiftly wrecked by supporters of President Trump, including Texas Sen. Ted Cruz who was irate at the host.

“What’s wrong with you? Is partisan hatred really that deep? We root for American soldiers, not against them,” he said.

“It is sad that they wanted it to be another Benghazi. But what they got was a lesson in how a president prevents Benghazi,” I said.

Of course, the big difference between how former President Obama handled Benghazi and President Trump handled Iraq was summed up best by others.

“Unlike Benghazi: – No one at our embassy was killed – Our embassy wasn’t overrun- Trump didn’t sit on his hands and fail to send help like...

Protests After German State Broadcaster Features Children Singing About Their Grandmas Being “Environmental Pigs” For Eating Meat

WDR2 accused of using climate change hysteria to indoctrinate kids to hate their family.

German state broadcaster WDR2 faced protests after it broadcast a video in which a group of children were taught to sing about how their grandmas were “environmental pigs” for driving non-electric vehicles and eating meat.

The controversy began after WDR2 aired the clip in which the kids sing, “My grandma drives in the chicken coop with her motorcycle…that’s thousands of gallons of gas every month, my grandma is an old environmental pig!”

In another part of the song the children sing, “Every day my grandma fries herself a pork chop…she does it because discount meat costs nearly nothing, my grandma is an old environmental pig!”

An almost immediate backlash prompted WDR2 to delete the online version of the clip before angry grandmas descended on WDR’s offices in Cologne to protest against the broadcaster.

“We are grandmas. Not #Nazi Pigs!” read one of the signs at the rally while another said, “My grandma is an old environmental pig. WDR exploits children to slander the...
