The Leftist prigs: Today's news for December 23rd

AFP:

Is the Iran nuclear deal already being violated?

Before Donald Trump has even arrived in the White House, Iran says the United States has already violated the nuclear deal and threatened to build atomic-powered ships in retaliation. Is the historic accord at risk?

Earlier this month, US lawmakers renewed a law called the Iran Sanctions Act (ISA), extending its provisions for another decade.

ISA, first introduced in 1996, aimed to cut off foreign investment in Iran's oil and gas sector to starve it of funds that might be used for its nuclear programme or to fund "terrorist" groups.

Key provisions of ISA were suspended in January when the nuclear deal between Iran and world powers came into force, although Washington has kept others linked to human rights and terrorism in place.

The White House said renewing ISA was pointless since it remains suspended so long as Tehran sticks to its promises to curb its nuclear programme.

Knowing it would pass anyway, President Barack Obama let the law through, but refused to sign it.

The president symbolically let slide a deadline to ink his name on the legislation -- which he has called unnecessary -- meaning the 10-year sanctions renewal will automatically become law.

Even if it were pointless, however, Tehran was up in arms, with both the supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and President Hassan Rouhani calling the renewal a "clear violation" of the accord and lodging a formal complaint with the United Nations.

Translation: Obama knows the Iran deal was a completely symbolic treaty, and when the Iranians inevitably get nukes, he can point to this and say, "See? I knew the deal was going to be violated." Except for the fact he kind of helped it along through inaction.

Speaking of Obama, here is some more news about Leftist prigs:

REVEALED: The Brooklyn lawyer who chased down Ivanka on a JetBlue flight and his Hillary supporter husband who BOASTED about the verbal attack before they were thrown off

A Brooklyn lawyer confronted Ivanka Trump and said her father is 'ruining this country' while she was on a plane with her children.

Dan Goldstein and his Hillary supporter husband Matthew Lasner were thrown off of the JetBlue flight from New York to San Francisco on Thursday when they accosted the future first daughter and started shouting at her.

While holding a child in his arms Goldstein, 35,  began screaming: 'Why is she on our flight. She should be flying private.'

Ivanka paid as little attention as possible and tried to preoccupy her children with some crayons to diffuse the situation until the crew escorted him off the plane.

Lasner, said that was not what happened however on Twitter, writing: 'My husband expressed his displeasure in a calm tone, JetBlue staff overheard, and they kicked us off the plane.'

But just an hour prior to that Lasner wrote on Twitter: 'Ivanka and Jared at JFK T5, flying commercial. My husband chasing them down to harass them. #banalityofevil'

Lasner has been very vocal about his distaste for Trump on Twitter, writing shortly after the election about marching against the President-elect. 

If you want to understand why people hate the Left, here is a good example.

Wisconsin Republicans Want "Problem of Whiteness" Class Cancelled, Professor Fired

Republican legislators in Wisconsin are threatening to reject the University of Wisconsin-Madison's requests for additional state funding unless an elective course they find offensive is cancelled and its professor is fired.

Rep. Dave Murphy, chairman of the Wisconsin Assembly’s Committee on Colleges and Universities, told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel he believes the course “The Problem of Whiteness” contributes to “the polarization of races in our state.”

“I am extremely concerned that UW-Madison finds it appropriate to teach a course called, ‘The Problem of Whiteness,’ with the premise that white people are racist,” he said in a statement. “Even more troubling, the course is taught by a self-described “international radical” professor whose views are a slap in the face to the taxpayers who are expected to pay for this garbage.”

If this class was titled "The Problem of Blackness", the mainstream media would be screaming like a bunch of stuck pigs. Instead, it gets ignored.

But back to the class itself.

Rant on.

It amazes me when these Leftist prigs do things that the KKK would love to do, and then don't realize just how racist they are being. Notice I am not calling it "reverse racism"? It is past time to call out the Leftists for what they are doing, which is just racism.

Rant off.

House report: Edward Snowden in contact with Russian agents

Former NSA contractor Edward Snowden has been in contact with Russian intelligence agents since he stole troves of classified documents, a House committee alleged on Thursday.

“Since Snowden’s arrival in Moscow, he has had, and continues to have, contact with Russian intelligence services,” the House Intelligence Committee said in a report on the Snowden leaks released Thursday.

The declassified report, which is heavily redacted, did not offer proof of its serious accusation. It follows the committee's release in September of an executive summary of the then-classified document.

House Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) said in a statement that the report offers “a fuller account of Edward Snowden’s crimes and the reckless disregard he has shown for U.S. national security, including the safety of American servicemen and women.”

In other news, the sun went down last night. Scandalous!

Seriously, Snowden doesn't have any choice about being in "contact with Russian intelligence services". If he didn't voluntarily help them, there's a nice gulag in Siberia that could convince him otherwise. Plus, they likely visit him frequently.

Finally, if you think the Left's media is the only one running biased stories, here is proof the Right does it too:

New York Daily News:

Fake news story claims Jewish family 'fled' Pennsylvania town after being blamed for Christmas play cancellation

A Jewish family — initially reported to have fled their Pennsylvania hometown after being wrongfully blamed for the cancellation of a fifth grade Christmas play — actually just went on a pre-planned winter vacation, an investigation has revealed.

Putting on “A Christmas Carol” has been a holiday tradition at Centerville Elementary in Lancaster County for more than three decades, but the school pulled the plug on this year’s production back in November “due to the amount of instructional time,” according to a statement from the Hempfield School District.

However, a LancasterOnline report published Thursday falsely claimed that a local Jewish family had "fled" Lancaster after being blamed for supposedly demanding the play's cancellation upon finding out it contained the line, "God bless us, everyone!"

...Still, the story was picked up by national news outlets like Breitbart and Fox News, which claimed the show was canceled after “unnamed parents took offense at the words uttered by Tiny Tim.”

A Fox News Opinion piece by Todd Starnes blasted the decision. It reads, “I’m afraid Tiny Tim’s goose has been cooked by the ghost of Christmas intolerance.”

Fox had yet to issue a retraction to either its opinion piece or news story as of late Thursday.  

To be honest, such intolerance of Christian celebrations during Christmas isn't unusual. However, when a story is wrong, it needs a retraction, period.
