The United States conducted a military airstrike in eastern Syria along the border with Iraq on Thursday night targeting Iranian-backed militias in retaliation for a recent rocket strike in Erbil in northern Iraq that left several Americans injured, according to the Pentagon.
"At President Biden's direction, U.S. military forces earlier this evening conducted airstrikes against infrastructure utilized by Iranian-backed militant groups in eastern Syria," John Kirby, Pentagon spokesman, said in a statement issued Thursday night.
And here I thought it was Trump that was supposed to be starting WWIII? The reality is that from China to Russia to Iran our enemies have been escalating their behavior since Joe Biden took office. From Putin arresting political opponents, to China firing on ships in neutral waters, to Iran making military moves, everyone seems to suddenly want to test the boundaries of the new President.
So whether or not this was the correct response remains to be seen. Sometimes you do have to make a stand or draw a line. Hopefully this was the correct reaction at the correct time. But Biden and gang must also be prepared for an escalation of events moving forward and we have yet to see how our friends and allies are going to react to all of this.
It's never good to be put into a situation to order military action. For what would seem to be fairly obvious reasons, Trump / Pence were not tested as much as I suspect Biden / Harris will be. Time will tell if our country reacts positively or negatively to reports of new military action (after a pretty damned quiet last four years).

"The President is telling the Iraqi government that he's serious about the nuclear deal."
We have a Nuke Deal with "Iraqi government "?
BIDEN’S SYRIA AIRSTRIKE HIT THE WRONG TARGET:
Biden deserves praise for signaling the United States would hold Iranian-backed militias accountable for their attacks. He may take some political heat from the progressive left for resorting to military action, and from the Republican opposition who will call out the hypocrisy of both Press Secretary Jen Psaki and Vice President Kamala Harris who questioned the legality of such airstrikes during the Trump administration.
Biden should continue the successful Trump policies in the Middle East.

The Military Times. Not pjmedia Pravda
year ago, militia attacks provoked the assassination of Gen. Qasem Soleimani, whose Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps organization was responsible for numerous attacks on U.S. troops, including a late December incident in Kirkuk that killed an American contractor and wounded multiple service members.
Iran retaliated for the killing of Soleimani with a missile barrage on two Iraqi airbases at al-Asad and Erbil housing U.S. troops launched early in the morning on Jan. 8, 2020.
While no U.S. troops were killed in the attack, more than 100 U.S. troops have been treated for traumatic brain injury.
The airstrikes ordered by Biden come in the weeks after the U.S. drew its presence down to 2,500 troops in Iraq. At the same time, NATO’s secretary general announced Thursday his plan to sharply increase the number of coalition troops on the counter-ISIS mission, from 500 up to 4,000. NATO is cooperating with the President, because the former's isolationist philosophy was going to destroy NATO
Reuters was first to report the strikes.

Murkowski Will Meet with Neera Tanden on Monday
CNN:
Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) will meet on Monday with Neera Tanden, the Biden administration’s pick to lead the Office of Management and Budget.
“Tanden’s confirmation is on the rocks after at least one Democratic and several moderate Republican senators announced their opposition to her appointment… Murkowski is seen as a potential swing vote who could save Tanden’s nomination, but the senator has not indicated how she would vote.”
Biden Loosens Marijuana Restrictions for Staff
NBC News:
"The Biden administration is issuing new guidelines Friday meant to address an unexpected hurdle it faced as it aimed to quickly fill key White House positions:
recreational marijuana use.
“After what one official described as ‘intensive consultation with security officials’ and the Personnel Security Division, the White House will now, on a case-by-case basis, waive a requirement that potential appointees in the Executive Office of the President be eligible for a ‘Top Secret’ clearance. Officials said a waiver would only be granted to those who have used marijuana on a ‘limited basis’ and who are in positions that don’t ultimately require a security clearance.”

Harris Gets a Crash Course In Foreign Policy
POLITICO:
“After insisting for the last few months that she didn’t need a clear-cut portfolio in the Biden administration, Vice President Kamala Harris is now trying to carve out a niche in foreign policy, with the president’s encouragement.
“It’s what the administration would say is proof of the equal partnership between the two, with Biden willing to bring Harris onto turf he is both known for and familiar with. Others say it’s more strategic: developing her own foreign policy credentials and being seen as Biden’s partner on these issues will give her an edge heading into 2024 or 2028.”

Trump’s erratic, impulsive actions are the last thing we need as Commander-in-Chief. No president should order a military strike without fully understanding the consequences. We don’t need another war in the Middle East, but Trump’s actions toward Iran only make that more likely.
House Likely to Pass Pandemic Relief Package Tonight
POLITICO:
“Democrats are on track to pass President Joe Biden’s coronavirus relief plan in the House by Friday night, a major milestone on the way to hitting their mid-March target for turning the $1.9 trillion package into law — and fulfilling a key priority for the White House.
“The tally is expected to divide along party lines, with Republican lawmakers taking the calculated political risk of opposing the relief measure.”
Senate Leaders Mull ‘Plan B’ on Minimum Wage Hike

"The party is thus terrified of recognizing that the problem of violent white supremacists is intrinsically linked to the disgraced former president and his accomplices.”

Golden Statue of Trump Is Perfect Metaphor for GOP
Vox:
“The Golden Calf is one of the most famous stories in the Old Testament. The Israelites, newly freed from Egyptian slavery, have a crisis of faith while God is speaking with Moses on Mount Sinai. They melt down the golden jewelry to construct a physical god — a statue in the shape of a calf — to worship in place of their abstract, invisible deity. It’s a story about the allure of idolatry, how easy it is to abandon one’s commitments to principle in favor of shiny, easy falsehoods.
“This biblical tale trended on Twitter in the US Friday morning because of the following video, filmed on the first day of the 2021 Conservative Political Action Conference. Someone involved in the conference constructed a golden statue — not of a calf, but of Trump — and wheeled it out to cheers from conference attendees.”

Donald Trump’s 1st interview after being released from prison.by Dennis R. Hill
Q: Mr. Trump, the video and audio tapes of you ordering the assassination of Vice President Mike Pence during the Capitol riot of 1/6/21 proved to be very damaging. Do you have any regrets about ordering Mr. Pence's assassination?
A: Not at all. If his assassination had been successful, I would have been able to install a Vice President who would have been willing to pardon me for all of my crimes after I resigned. My only regret is selecting the Proud Boys, the Oath Keepers, and QAnon to pull off the assassination. They all turned out to be pussies, and stabbed me in the back after they got caught.
Q: Is it true that you are not allowed to see or communicate with Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, Ivanka Trump, Jared Kushner, and Rudy Giuliani?
A: Yes. The conditions of my parole forbid me from associating with any other convicted felons.
Q: It must have been very disappointing to learn that all of your family members agreed to a plea agreement in exchange for providing the Federal Prosecutors with the evidence needed to convict you.
A: I was disappointed with Ivanka. There was no need for her to talk about our "Special Times" together when she was a little girl. As far as Don Jr. and Eric, I've always known they were losers. They were just parasites living off of me.
Q: A lot of your MAGA Supporters are very upset with you because you conned then into donating money to your "Stop The Steal" campaign, and then you put all of that money in your own pocket.
A: I did not put a gun to their heads. I have been fleecing people out of their money all of my life. I have screwed over banks, contractors, charities and venders for over 50 years. All of this is public information, but in spite of this, they were stupid enough to donate to my fake "Stop the Steal" campaign. They have no one to blame except themselves for being so stupid.
Q: How were you treated by your fellow prisoners while you were incarcerated?
A: They all loved me. They said I was the greatest prisoner they ever spend time with.
Q: Are you saying there is no truth to the Rumors that you were physically assaulted shortly after being incarcerated?
A: OK, well there was a incident in the beginning when I got caught cheating at UNO. I thought it was just a game, and did not realize they took it so seriously.
Q: So you were physically assaulted?
A: All I will say is that I will NEVER cheat at UNO again.
Q: Is it true that Sean Hannity wrote to you every day and visited you often?
A: Yes. all of the other prisoners called him "Hand-Job Hannity".
Q: Why?
A: We agreed to his transexual surgery,so we can get married and use my mushroom penis to make her scream for more mushroom sauce. Hand jobs peel the head of my mushroom penis.

Judge Rules That Millions of Ballots Must Be Turned Over to Arizona Senate
After a long, bitterly contested legal struggle, a Maricopa County judge has ruled that millions of voter ballots must be turned over to the Arizona Senate.
The stunning news, which comes over a month after the Biden Inauguration, was reported by the Associated Press.
“A judge has ruled that the Arizona Senate can get access to 2.1 million ballots from Arizona’s most populous county so it can audit results of the 2020 election that saw Democrat Joe Biden win in the state,” the AP reported.
“Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Timothy Thomason’s decision on Friday comes after a protracted battled between the Republican-controlled state Senate and the GOP-dominated Maricopa County board over subpoenas issued by the Senate,” the report added.
The board of elections had tried to keep the ballots secret and away from an audit.
“The board contended that the ballots were secret, that the Legislature had no right to access them and that the subpoenas issued by Senate President Karen Fann were for an illegitimate purpose, among other arguments,” the AP noted.
“The Senate’s lawyers contended that the constitution gives the Legislature the role of maintaining the purity of elections and make sure voter integrity is protected, that the subpoenas were legal and a proper use of legislative power,” the report stated.
The judge’s ruling comes in the aftermath of an “independent” audit provided by the Maricopa election officials that claims the election was completely above-board.
“The results of the county’s independent audit released Tuesday found that the votes were counted correctly, the machines worked properly, and the machines were not hacked or connected to the internet during the election,” the Washington Examiner reported.
“The Senate wants another audit of ballots and a check of voter information, while the county has contended that its multiple audits have been sufficient and said the ballots must remain sealed under state law,” the report continued.
The Arizona Senate’s coming “audit of the audit” will find out exactly how “independent” these election observers really are.

Why would democrats be so desperate to avoid transparency ???
We'll see if anything comes out of this but much more credible than any Trump/Russia collusion HOAX that was peddled non-stop by FAKE NEWS.
WASHINGTON — A long-awaited American intelligence report made public Friday concludes that the de facto leader of Saudi Arabia approved the gruesome political killing of a dissident journalist who lived in Virginia and wrote for the Washington Post.
While that overall conclusion by the CIA and other agencies about Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman was first reported two years ago, its official publication on U.S. government letterhead shines a spotlight on the dilemma facing President Joe Biden, who has emphasized the importance of human rights in foreign policy but is not prepared to cut ties with a key American ally.
Said the report, "We base this assessment on the Crown Prince's control of decision-making in the Kingdom, the direct involvement of a key adviser and members of Mohammed bin Salman's protective detail in the operation, and the Crown Prince's support for using violent measures to silence dissidents abroad, including [journalist Jamal] Khashoggi."
The former was jealous because he couldn't order American journalists to be murdered and cut into pieces by rrb.
