CNN: Accusing Someone of Gang Rape is Just Regular Political Wrasslin', Says Former Obama Aide Jim Sciutto »

The Morning Rant: J.V. Edition
242 years ago we told the British Empire to bugger off. They were the greatest naval power in the world, and had armies all over the globe. Why did we send that message? because the people of this fledgling country did not like being told what to do by unelected rulers three thousand miles away.
So I have a message for the International Court of justice (Hah!) and the United Nations; Bugger Off.
We are a sovereign nation that has the absolute unequivocal right to defend our national interests against all who would threaten them, and Iran is a particularly egregious example. It is a country that by all objective evaluations is the foremost promoter and supporter of terrorism in the world. Iran has, through its internal terrorist networks and its external proxies, murdered hundreds of Americans and supplied the technology and material to kill hundreds of American soldiers. It foments insurrection and instability wherever it goes, and has as its stated national goals the destruction of "Great Satan" (America) and "Little Satan" (Israel).
The United Nations and its various courts are nothing but apologists for third-world revolutionaries, and any country that displays antipathy toward the West and its obviously superior culture is immediately supported with funds and coddled in UN and court official pronouncements and holdings.
It is a farce, and the breathtaking arrogance that would allow them to attempt to dictate to the United States of America is disgusting, though not unexpected. To paraphrase Stalin, "How many divisions does the UN have?" [Not counting its military organizations that specialize in child rape]
U.S. ordered to lift some Iran sanctions by International Court of Justice
THE HAGUE, Netherlands — The United Nations' highest court has ordered the United States to lift sanctions on Iran that affect imports of humanitarian goods and products and services linked to the safety of civil aviation.
President Donald Trump moved to restore tough U.S. sanctions in May after announcing he was withdrawing from Tehran's nuclear deal with world powers. Iran challenged the sanctions in a case filed in July at the International Court of Justice.

WWII code breaker buried in Nebraska with UK military honors
OMAHA, Neb. — A 92-year-old woman has been buried in Nebraska with British military honors for a secret that she held for decades: her World War II service as a code breaker of German intelligence communications.
The Union Jack was draped over Jean Briggs Watters' casket during her burial Monday, the Omaha World-Herald reported. Watters died Sept. 15.
The tribute honored Watters for her role decoding for a top-secret military program led by British mathematician Alan Turing, who was the subject of the 2014 Oscar-winning film "The Imitation Game ." Watters was among about 10,000 people, mostly women, who participated in the Allied effort to crack German communication codes throughout the war.
Our current focus is on much more unpleasant topics, so it is a pleasure to read of the honors afforded this woman.

We are so busy being excited by the intestinal fortitude being displayed by our otherwise craven and cowardly representatives that..perhaps...we have lost sight of the fact that yes, they are still Republicans, and will undoubtedly stab us in the backs when they see fit.
Until I see real change, and not just the (at least partly) ego-driven responses to typical Democrat behavior, I will reserve judgement. Well, except for the video of Graham down below. That made me laugh.

Wow...she may be even dumber than we thought.
