Leaked audio has Iran’s foreign minister admitting John Kerry leaked secret Israel intel to Iran
We already know that John Kerry was trying to undermine Donald Trump’s Iran policy by conducting secret meetings with Javad Zarif via a backdoor channel, and we know this because he admitted it. This is a pretty clear violation of the Logan Act, but it is getting even worse for the former Secretary of State because audio has surfaced in which Javad Zarif admits that John Kerry was giving him secret intelligence on Israeli activity in Syria while serving in the Obama administration.
Here is more:
Iranian foreign minister Mohammad Javad Zarif claimed in recently leaked audio that John Kerry, when he was serving as Secretary of State during the Obama administration, informed him of more than 200 Israeli operations in Syria.
Kerry shocked Zarif by revealing that Israel had attacked Iranian targets in Syria more than 200 times, according to leaked audio obtained by The New York Times and other outlets.
Of course John Kerry is denying the claims but we should remember that John Kerry does have a special interest in the goings on of Iran considering his daughter is married to a prominent Iranian, I do not think it is too hard to figure out where he true loyalty is.
Joe Biden to skip out of weekly COVID meetings with Governors, Andrew Cuomo takes over
Joe Biden is so worried about the effects the COVID-19 pandemic is having on the American people and the States they live in that both he and Kamala Harris have no intention of joining the weekly COVID-19 meetings with the Governors which were started under Donald Trump and continue to this day. (Despite a campaign promise to do so by the way.)
You would think maybe this is a good sign which means this foolishness will soon becoming to an end but you would most likely be wrong, in all likelihood the meetings are just too confusing for poor ole Uncle Joe so instead, get this, Andrew Cuomo is going now leading the meetings, here is more:
Embattled New York Governor Andrew Cuomo (D) has reportedly taken over the leadership of the weekly White House conference calls with the nation’s governors about the coronavirus pandemic, since President Joe Biden does not join them.
Philip Wegmann of RealClearPolitics reported Monday that Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have both opted not to join the weekly conference calls with governors, unlike former President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence.
Wegmann’s reporting was confirmed during Monday’s White House press briefing. Press Secretary Jen Psaki demanded to know how many governors he had spoken with, and insisted Biden had never intended to join the calls, despite his pledge a conference call with governors after the election in November that he would work closely with them once he took office.
In addition, Wegmann reported that Gov. Cuomo is now leading the weekly conference calls between the governors and the Biden administration’s coronavirus team, due to his role as head of the National Governors Association:
Andrew Cuomo now leads the calls as chairman of the National Governors Association. White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki explained that the New York governor was put in charge instead of the vice president because a change was needed.
Believe it or not, and I know you will, the Biden administration blamed Donald Trump for the President’s decision not to join the meetings, claiming he was too busy dealing with other aspects of the pandemic due to Donald Trump’s failures to lead during this time. Or something like that…
So, let me see if I can sum this up: Joe Biden cannot attend the meetings because of Donald Trump’s lack of leadership on COVID-19, so instead Andrew Cuomo, the man whose COVID-19 policies led to the deaths of thousands of New York’s elderly, is now going to be spreading his wisdom to governors across the country about dealing with COVID-19. If that is the type of leadership they want, and if the result of his policies in his State is considered success, it makes you wonder what the true goal of the pandemic response is…
Everybody is expecting a huge push by Joe Biden and the Democrats on gun control, including measures to ban so-called “assault weapons” (or as the Democrats are trying to rebrand them, “military style” weapons), and “high capacity” magazines of more than 10 rounds.
In anticipation of this move Governor Gianforte of Montana has just signed legislation to protect his State’s residents from the expected gun control action. Here is more:
Gov. Greg Gianforte on Friday signed a bill that prohibits state and local law enforcement in Montana from enforcing federal bans on firearms, ammunition and magazines.
Supporters of the law have said it would protect the Second Amendment from stiffer gun control laws that could come from federal legislation or executive orders by President Joe Biden
Montana law would prohibit law enforcement officials and other state employees from enforcing, implementing or spending state funds to uphold federal bans on particular kinds of firearms, ammunition and magazines.
There has long been a debate over State and Federal laws and which trumps which and for the most part the side a person is on depends upon whether or not they agree with the Federal law that is in debate at that time. Naturally gun control Marxists and the Democrats (but I repeat myself) will claim that States cannot nullify Federal laws but I would remind these people that they themselves set the precedent when States began passing laws to legalize marijuana and neutralize Federal immigration laws.
And some more good news is, according to the article lined to above there are at least 12 States looking at nullifying any new gun laws.

Here is The Cure performing “How Beautiful You Are” from 2007 after 20 years from being absent from the playlist. Enjoy:
“And in the road before us
Stood a weary grayish man
Who held a child upon his back
A small boy by the hand
The three of them were dressed in rags
And thinner than air
And all six eyes stared fixedly on you”
“The father’s eyes said “Beautiful!
How beautiful you are!”
The boy’s eyes said
“How beautiful!
She shimmers like a star!”
The child’s eyes uttered nothing
But a mute and utter joy
And filled my heart with shame for us
At the way we are”
Joe Biden’s climate plan would require Americans to cut 90% of red meat from their diet
Joe Biden’s climate plan, according to this story, is so draconian that it would force Americans to reduce their red meat intake so drastically they would be averaging eating only one hamburger a month worth of red meat per year. Here is more:
President Joe Biden’s ambitious plan to slash greenhouse emissions by 50 to 52 percent over the next decade could prompt sweeping changes that could affect how Americans eat, drive and heat their homes.
Biden announced the goal to cut emissions by 2030, compared with 2005 levels, at the start of a two-day climate summit on Thursday.
Americans may have to cut their red meat consumption by a whopping 90 percent and cut their consumption of other animal based foods in half.
Gradually making those changes by 2030 could see diet-related greenhouse gas emissions reduced by 50 percent, according to a study by Michigan University’s Center for Sustainable Systems.
To do that, it would require Americans to only consume about four pounds of red meat per year, or 0.18 ounces per day.
It equates to consuming roughly one average sized burger per month.
Just to be clear on this, that is an average of one burger per month total red meat, it is not one burger a month in addition to other red meat. Do you still think this agenda has anything to do with saving the planet? This is all about control…
Democrats sue to stop Arizona audit of 2020 election
At this point I am not sure what the people who are still challenging the election results are hoping to accomplish, no matter what happens the election is not going to be overturned. It reminds me of the birthers who thought once it was shown that Barack Obama was not born in America he would be removed from office, that was never going to happen either and it was all just a waste of time when people should have been focused on stopping his agenda instead.
Having said that however, I do find it interesting that the Democrats appear to be worried about what might be found out in the audit of the Arizona election results which is set to get underway shortly, so much so that they are suing to stop the audit. Here is more:
Why not just let the audit play out and allow the Republicans in Arizona to be distracted with something that means nothing while you work on your radical agenda? You would think the Democrats would welcome both the distraction and the opportunity to clear their names while embarrassing the Republicans for being on a wild goose chase, but instead they look as if the have something to hide after all…
Nancy Pelosi thanks George Floyd for ‘sacrificing his life’
The big news of the day was the verdict handed down against the police officer who was accused of murdering George Floyd. I am not going to get into the debate over whether or not this was the right decision because honestly I am the one person in America who has not seen one second of the video.
However I do feel the need to touch on Nancy Pelosi’s odd comments about this case earlier today. She actually thanked George Floyd for sacrificing his life in the cause of justice. Here is more:
So again, thank you George Floyd for sacrificing your life for justice. For being there to call out to your mom – how heartbreaking was that – call out for your mom ‘I can’t breathe’…
How sick is that!? She is happy that somebody died because it pushes forward her agenda! I am at a loss for words and honestly I am disgusted because our country is beyond repair.
Sunday, April 18th open thread: ‘American Idiot’

Here is Green Day performing “American Idiot” live:
“Don’t wanna be an American idiot
Don’t want a nation under the new media
And can you hear the sound of hysteria?
The subliminal mind fuck America”
“Welcome to a new kind of tension
All across the alien nation
Where everything isn’t meant to be okay”
“Don’t want to be an American idiot
One nation controlled by the media
Information age of hysteria
It’s going out to idiot America”
Joe Biden to keep refugee cap at Trump levels
For four years the left claimed that Donald Trump’s decision to cap refugees at 15,000 was a racist, xenophobic policy and that there was not anything more un-American than stopping people from coming to America, especially those who are in danger. The left in general, and Joe Biden in particular, promised that the cap would be lifted when the Democrats won the Presidency.
But the promise to increase the refugee level did not stop after Joe Biden became President, in fact it was reported that he was set to raise the refugee cap to a total higher than it was under Barack Obama. However, something must have changed his mind along the way because it is now being reported that Joe Biden will keep the refugee level the same as it was under Donald Trump after all.
Another broken promise and needless to say some on the left are not happy. But even in their disappointment with this decision they are not stooping to the level of hyperbole and vitriol they used when Donald Trump was President. I do not hear the left calling Joe Biden a racist, a bigot, a nativist, or a xenophobe despite him carrying on the plans of a man who was called all of those things and more.
Democrats introduce bill to ban ‘high capacity’ magazines
It looks like the Democrats are beginning their gun control push. According to this story they are going to begin with a bill that will ban “high capacity” magazines. The first question which comes to mind is what do the Democrats consider to be a “high capacity” magazine?
Senator Bob Menendez (D-NJ) and Rep. Ted Deutch (D-FL) are pushing legislation to ban the sale and possession of ammunition magazines holding more than ten rounds.
A press release on the legislation indicates it would also ban the importation and manufacture of said magazines and authorize “a buyback program for high capacity magazines using Byrne JAG grants.”
As many gun enthusiasts know most handguns, with the exception of revolvers and sub-compact and compact weapons, come with more than a 10 round magazine as a standard. This would basically make most handguns illegal. A ten round magazine is certainly not a “high capacity” magazine but this is what the Democrats do, they change the language by altering definitions over time until they have perfected the narrative.
Here is what one Democrat Tweeted earlier today:
High-capacity magazines aren’t used for sport or self-defense. They’re used in mass shootings b/c they maximize human casualties.
Again, you must remember what the definition of “high capacity” is according to this legislation and yes many of the weapons people carry for self defense will be outlawed under this draconian piece of legislation.
