- Dem Senator Throws Down With Kari Lake For Accusing Colleague of Being ‘Contro...
Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA) threw down with Trump nominee Kari Lake Thursday, arguing her repeated “lies” about a Senate colleague should disqualify her from consideration. Lake appeared before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee as President Donald Trump’s nominee for the next U.S. ambassador to Jamaica. She currently serves as senior advisor to the United States Agency for Global Media (USAGM). Kaine asked Lake about statements she made regarding former Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) during her unsuccessful bid to defeat him in the 2024 U.S. Senate race. “You gave a TV interview about your opponent, then House member, now our colleague, Senator Gallego, in which you said he is, quote, ‘controlled by the cartels.’ His own father was a Colombian drug trafficker, and so he’s got links to the cartel. A PolitiFact article…a few days later, rated that ‘Pants on Fire!'” “Now, this is pretty undiplomatic behavior,” Kaine continued, recounting Gallego’s memoir where he explained how he became estranged from his father. “You had no evidence, then, nor do you have any evidence now, that our colleague Senator Gallego is controlled by cartels, do you, Ms. Lake?” “Well, we provided the receipts,” Lake began. “The father was a high-level drug trafficker, trafficking hundreds of thousands of dollars—” “You said that Ruben Gallego was controlled by the cartels. You provided no evidence,” Kaine interrupted. “You had no evidence, then, and you have no evidence now that Ruben Gallego is controlled by cartels. Isn’t that right?” Lake continued: LAKE: I don’t know, and I’m not here to do reputational control or reputational repair. KAINE: Okay, how about an apology for our colleague? If you made that claim he was controlled by cartels, and now you’re saying you don’t know what the facts are, then you’re acknowledging that your charge was wrong. How about apologizing to our colleague? LAKE: I don’t believe my charge was wrong. Ruben Gallego’s father is a high-level trafficker. KAINE: That’s not the question I asked you! That’s not the ques— You asserted he was controlled by cartels. You had no evidence then, you have no evidence now, you’re unwilling to admit it. And here’s something that’s even worse, Mr. Chair. That was during the heat of a campaign. Sometimes we say things during campaigns that, we go too far. She’s continued to repeat this as a sitting member of the Trump administration!

- Iran hardliner behind US deal warns Tehran won’t honor agreement if Trump fail...
Iran’s hardline parliament speaker and key negotiator Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf warned that Tehran would not honor its commitments under a newly signed memorandum with the U.S. if Washington fails to uphold its side of the deal, according to the media arm of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. "If the United States does not honor its commitments, there is no way Iran will honor its own commitments," Ghalibaf said, according to the outlet.Ghalibaf’s warning was echoed Thursday by Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Quds Force commander Esmail Qaani, who threatened the U.S. in remarks translated by MEMRI TV, saying, "Americans should know their place and avoid confronting the Muslims." Qaani added that "Trump is trembling" and warned that the U.S. "should fear not only Hormuz and Bab al-Mandeb, but many other locations as well."MEET IRAN'S HARDLINE SPEAKER WHO THREATENED TO BURN US FORCES — REPORTEDLY TEHRAN'S POINT MAN FOR TALKSThe warnings came after President Donald Trump and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian Wednesday digitally signed a copy of the memorandum aimed at ending the war and resuming the flow of traffic through the Strait of Hormuz.The memorandum gives Iran major economic relief while leaving some of the most difficult nuclear questions for a final agreement to be negotiated throughout the next 60 days. Under the 14-point plan read by a senior U.S. official, Washington agreed to begin lifting its naval blockade, work with regional partners on a $300 billion reconstruction and development plan for Iran, and terminate U.S., U.N. and other sanctions on an agreed schedule as part of a final deal. The memorandum also says all licenses, waivers and permissions needed for related financial transactions would be granted by the United States.In return, Iran reaffirmed that it "shall not procure or develop nuclear weapons," and the two sides agreed to resolve the fate of Iran’s stockpiled enriched material under a future mechanism, with the minimum method being on-site down-blending under International Atomic Energy Agency supervision. The agreement defers many of the hardest questions — including how to wind down Iran’s nuclear program — until the 60-day negotiation period for a final deal.But the Iranian figure at the center of the deal is not a diplomat known for moderation. Ghalibaf, a former Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps commander and longtime regime insider, has threatened American forces, vowed Trump would "pay the price" and built his career through loyalty to Iran’s security establishment.The new warning underscored what experts say is… [TheTopNews] Read More.18 hours ago - Kroger sees modest growth in Q1
