State Department official mourns late Iranian president

A State Department official is mourning the loss of an Iranian leader with “American blood on his hands” who had called for Israel’s destruction.

Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, the former Iranian president who died Sunday, drew condolences from the unnamed official.

“Former Pres. Rafsanjani has been a prominent figure throughout the history of the Islamic Republic of Iran,” the official told Al Monitor. “We send our condolences to his family and loved ones.”

Eric Trager, a Middle East expert at the Washington Institute, responded, “Condolences for a man with American blood on his hands. Unreal.”

The State Department’s short statement ignores that Rafsanjani was president when agents of Iran killed 19 American service members in the 1996 bombings of the Khobar Towers in Saudi Arabia.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Rafsanjani called for Israel’s destruction in 2001.

“If one day the Islamic world is also equipped with weapons like those that Israel possesses now, then the imperialists’ strategy will reach a standstill because the use of even one nuclear bomb inside Israel will destroy everything,” the Iranian leader said ...

Seattle Mayor to Spend Half Million Tax Dollars Teaching Illegals to Fight Trump

Seattle Mayor Ed Murray announced a $250,000 plan to help shield the children of illegal immigrants and refugee families from any new crackdowns that might come from the incoming Donald Trump administration.

“The rhetoric and the promises of the incoming administration are a threat to Seattle’s economy and to Seattle’s workers,” Murray said, the Seattle Times reported.

So he’s taking tax dollars to supply services for the illegals?Yes indeed.

The Seattle Times reports:

“The mayor outlined several efforts on which the $250,000 will be spent, including certain services for immigrants of all ages. …

“Part of the city’s funding will be used to hold multiple community-education forums at Seattle Public Schools buildings and other venues, Murray said.

“Organizations with legal expertise will offer information to immigrant students and their relatives, he said.

“The forums will cover topics such as the importance of power-of-attorney documents and who to call for help when someone is in danger of being detained by...

Gaslighting and the Left’s War on Reality

Donald Trump’s victory over one of the most powerful political machines in American history has given mainstream America the opportunity to turn America onto a sensible course. The success or failure of that turnaround, however, depends largely on the ability of mainstream Americans to see through the left’s longstanding use of a vile political tactic known as gaslighting.

The word gaslighting has been popularized in psychology to describe a form of mental and emotional abuse in which a domineering person denies and contradicts the memories and perceptions of an intended victim until the victim begins to doubt his or her perception of reality. The word comes from the 1944 mystery film Gaslight, in which a woman’s husband tries to convince her that she is losing her mind and that the things she is experiencing – such as the gaslights in the house flickering and dimming – are not real. Only when an inspector from Scotland Yard also notices the gaslights flickering does she realize that she is not losing her mind and that her husband has a devious agenda.

In politics, the word “gaslighting” is increasingly used to describe the left’s efforts to push a false view of reality and to convince mainstream Americans that their common-sense views are somehow extreme. For example, on a recent edition of Varney & Co., Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) said the Obama administration’s portrayal of Israel as our enemy and Iran as nothing to worry about could be described as “gaslighting.” Bill Whittle’s popular video Gaslighting exposed the...
