Tom Rogan, Washington Examiner: Iran seizes two British tankers and makes a huge mistake

There will be furious embarrassment in the British government this evening over Iran's seizure of two British oil tankers today. One of those tankers is British-flagged, and the other is British-owned.

"Acting against the British while the U.K. and Iranian foreign ministers were seeking compromise over Britain's recent seizure of an Iranian tanker"

The same statement could be made switching the names of the countries.

Britain got sucked in when the US ask them to seize the ship.

Britain and the US have been allies since 1917. Without the US there would be no Britain. Montgomery had M3 Lee/Grants, when he launched the Battle of El Alamein. The M3 had been with the British since May 27 1942.

Documents Reveal Obama State Department Advanced Russian Collusion Hoax Before 2016 Election

“a September 2016 email exchange between then-Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland and Special Coordinator for Libya Jonathan Winer, a close associate of dossier author Christopher Steele, discussing a ‘face-to-face’ meeting on a ‘Russian matter.’”

Maybe we should give Victoria a plane ride to the Donbas region and give her quick parachute lessons.

Journalist Travels to Ilhan Omar’s Homeland to Prove Somalia is Beautiful, Debunk ‘Stereotypes’ – Gets Killed by Islamic Terrorists

"Hodan Nalayeh, a Somali-born Canadian journalist traveled to Somalia last week to prove Somalia is “beautiful” and to challenge ‘stereotypes’ ended up being killed by Islamic terrorists."

Somalia could make a killing (no pun intended) off the tourist trade, if only Al Shabab, sharia and Salafists were not there

Hodan Nalayeh was right. Somalia is beutuful. However, it is still a shit hole.

Migrant Death Rate Under Trump 20 Percent Lower than Obama Years

Of course libturds lie. they are covering for Obama.

"although the migrant claims he did not kill the teen on purpose, Nyheter Idag reports.

Following the death of the teen, the migrant emptied the victim’s pockets and took photographs of the body on his mobile phone that he deleted the next day, but they were recovered by forensic experts."

Did not kill on purpose but took trophy fotographs.

Score another victory for Obama!

"While the Eritrean maintained he was 16, medical tests revealed him to be at least 18 years old and a witness stated that he was as old as 21.

Whether or not the expulsion sentence can be carried out is also in question, as Sweden often refuses to deport migrants to Eritrea if they apply for asylum status.

Sweden has also seen a number of cases in which supposed underage migrants have turned out to be adults. Last month, a report claimed that up to 90 per cent of Moroccan underage migrants in Sweden seeking asylum were over the age of 18."

Liberalism is a mental disorder.
