RINOS Ryan, McCarthy – Only WHITE
RACISTS Are REPULSIVE, No Others Exist
by rickwells.us
{rickwells.us} ~ Despicable RINO Speaker Paul Ryan wasted no time in rushing to a keyboard in order to cast President Trump as a racist and himself as the reasonable, good guy that everyone should be siding with, including in 2020... Following President Trump’s objective and fair recognition that there was plenty of blame to go around for what happened on Saturday in Charlottesville and much of it to be borne by the aggressors on the left, the agitators who came to town looking for a fight on behalf of their Democrat masters, Ryan tweeted his position, that of the capitulating hater of all things conservative, the Constitution and the Trump agenda and base. RINO Ryan tweeted, ” We must be clear. White supremacy is repulsive. This bigotry is counter to all this country stands for. There can be no moral ambiguity.” The RINO’s comments aren’t that different from a portion of what President Trump said, that all racism is repulsive... http://rickwells.us/rinos-ryan-mccarthy-white-racists-repulsive-no-others-exist/.
Did North Korea Get Engine
For Its New ICBM From Russia?
by J.E. Dyer
{lidblog.com} ~ On Monday, the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS), a UK-based think tank, published an article by U.S. missile expert Michael Elleman outlining his assessment that North Korea’s newest missiles have probably been made successful... by incorporating the former-Soviet-designed RD-250 liquid-fueled rocket engine. The RD-250 was used in the USSR’s R-36 ICBM program, of which the only remaining operational variant is the SS-18 (“Satan”) R-36M2 (the 10-MIRV mod, or Mod-5). The operational SS-18s have a range of about 11,000 km (6,800 miles). The RD-250 was developed in the 1960s, when Ukraine was part of the Soviet Union. The RD-250 was developed in the 1960s, when Ukraine was part of the Soviet Union. The RD-250 was recently used for space-launch rockets through the late 2000s. The Yuzhnoye enterprise is still in business, but the RD-250 is out of production. Yuzhmash produces different, more modern engines for Ukraine’s space-launch rocket industry... http://lidblog.com/north-korea/.
Iran building long-range
rocket factory in Syria - Israeli TV
by jpost.com
{jpost.com} ~ An Israeli television report said on Tuesday that Iran is building a facility in northwest Syria to manufacture long-range rockets, and showed satellite images it said were of the site under construction... Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned last week that Iran was strengthening its foothold in its ally Syria as Islamic State fighters were being displaced, and said Israel was watching developments and would act against any threat. "Our policy is clear: We vehemently oppose the military buildup by Iran and its proxies, primarily Hezbollah, in Syria and we will do whatever it takes to protect Israel's security," he said in a speech... http://www.jpost.com/Arab-Israeli-Conflict/Iran-building-long-range-rocket-factory-in-Syria-Israeli-TV-502522.
MB Groups Increasingly Open
in Endorsing Anti-Sisi Violence
by John Rossomando
{investigativeproject.org} ~ A group of exiled Morsi-era Muslim Brotherhood politicians based in Istanbul has posted on Facebook a blueprint for overthrowing Egypt's military regime... The Egyptian Revolutionary Council (ERC) reposted several videos on July 31 that it had released on Facebook over the past month offering strategies for violently toppling the government of Egyptian President Abdel Fatah al-Sisi. Until now the ERC, which met with liar-nObama administration officials and liberal think tanks in 2015, has largely been involved in lobbying against Sisi's government. An Arabic hashtag saying, "Preparing for the Revolution#," appeared on the ERC's Facebook page... https://www.investigativeproject.org/6510/mb-groups-increasingly-open-in-endorsing-anti.
RINO MCCAIN Pre-Judges WHITE
“RACISTS” Exonerates Radicals BLM, AntiFa
by rickwells.us
{rickwells.us} ~ During his Tuesday Infrastructure press conference Tuesday, which turned out to be a question and answer session about the Charlottesville incident... President Trump clarified “which RINO-John McCain” a reporter was referencing in a question by asking if that’s the same one that killed the liar-nObamacare repeal in the Senate. In his subsequent answer President Trump was kinder than he could have been, stating to the questioner that he was sure RINO-McCain must know what he was talking about in his reference to the “alt-right” in Charlotte and their involvement in the chaos. There are few things the propagandists love more than quoting RINO McCain as if he were a sage of establishment GOP wisdom. The reporter couldn’t define or identify the “alt-right” but maybe RINO-McCain would take a shot. A cheap one, most likely. RINO-McCain offered his comments for the consumption and the use of his leftist allies after the press briefing, tweeting, ” There’s no moral equivalency between racists and Americans standing up to defy hate and bigotry. The President of the United States should say so.”... http://rickwells.us/rino-mccain-pre-judges-white-racists-exonerates-radicals-blm-antifa/.

{punchingbagpost.com} ~ On Tuesday, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani stated that Iran’s nuclear program could be restarted in a matter of “hours” if the White House imposes additional sanctions on Tehran.
If restarted, the program would be “far more advanced” than it was in 2015, said Rouhani. Several other Iranian officials have threatened to restart industrial-scale uranium enrichment, potentially as high as 20%.
Such activity was a major concern during liar-nObama’s presidency when Iran and the US signed the JCPOA (other members of the deal: China, Britain, Germany, France, and Russia). The controversial nuclear deal lifted longtime economic sanctions on Iran in return for strict limits on Tehran’s nuclear activities.
Due to liar-nObama’s lack of negotiating skills, however, the treaty is written in such a way that we have little ability to monitor Iran’s nuclear activities.
President Trump has repeatedly called the JCPOA a “disaster,” but the other signees disagree. In January, the White House declared that it would no longer “turn a blind eye to Iran’s hostile and belligerent actions.”
Rouhani’s threat to reinstate nuclear activity follows sanctions on six Iranian companies, announced in July, and a more recent sanctions package, passed in early August, that imposes penalties on Iran, North Korea, and Russia.
The new sanctions aim to punish Iran for its ongoing ballistic missile tests, but Rouhani argues that Iran has every right to conduct missile tests and that it has fully complied with the provisions of the JCPOA.
Rouhani pointed out that President Trump has either pulled out or threatened to pull out of numerous international treaties.
“It is the US government, especially the current Trump Administration, that is ignoring treaties,” said Rouhani, “showing to the world and its allies that the US is neither a good ally nor a trustworthy negotiating partner.”
The United States insists that Iran’s missile tests violate a UN resolution that calls on Iran not to “undertake any activity related to ballistic missiles designed to be capable of delivering nuclear weapons, including launches using such ballistic missile technology.”
Iran argues that the new sanctions breach the JCPOA and insists that its nuclear program is entirely peaceful.
On Sunday, Iran’s MPs passed a bill that increases the budget for Iran’s ballistic missile program and increases the country’s military budget by nearly $800 million.
“The bill has very wisely tried not to violate the nuclear deal and also gives no chance to the other party to manipulate it,” said deputy foreign minister Abbas Araghchi. “This bill is an astute response to the enmity and wickedness of the United States against Iran."
Some members of parliament chanted “death to America” as the legislation passed.
