White House worried Iran is plotting assassination
attempts against Trump administration officials

Original Article

Iran’s imposition of “sanctions” on dozens of Americans amounts to an assassination threat against members of former President Donald Trump’s administration, according to a senior U.S. official who threatened “severe consequences” for any harm done to them. “Make no mistake: the United States of America will protect and defend its citizens,” White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan said Sunday. “This includes those serving the United States now and those who formerly served.” Iranian officials have made explicit their interest in killing one of the people involved in the U.S. strike that killed Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Gen. Qassem Soleimani.

FTA: “Iranian officials have made explicit their interest in killing one of the people involved in the U.S. strike that killed Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Gen. Qassem Soleimani.” Take note of “...their interest in killing ONE of the people involved in the U.S. strike...” In an article published by the Washington Examiner on January 5, 2022, written by Misty Severi, the Iranian President “demanded that FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP AND FORMER SECRETARY OF STATE MIKE POMPEO be prosecuted for the assassination of the Iranian military commander Qaseem Soleimani.” (“Iranian president demands Trump and Pompeo be prosecuted for drone strike that killed Soleimani”) Quoting from that same article: “If Trump and Pompeo are not tried in a fair court for the criminal act of assassinating Gen. Soleimani, Muslims will take our martyr’s revenge,” Raisi said, according to Reuters. "The aggressor, murderer, and main culprit, the then-president of the United States, must be tried and judged under the (Islamic) law of retribution, and God's ruling must be carried out against him." May the pronouncement made by Jake Sullivan that this country will protect and defend its citizens, current and former who served, hold true.

No Marxist trash in the White House is at all worried Trump or any other conservatives might get assassinated. It would solve a lot of their political problems which is all they care about.

Are they just jealous? Maybe the Iranians will be able to get to the Trump officials before the deep state lynching party can get them? Seriously, I would expect a very strong response from the American government about any possible "retribution" against officials from a prior administration from a foe of the US Government and US people. But then again, I didn't think even Biden was so stupid as to do what he did in Afghanistan.

the guys that actually took out Soleimani, LOVED the fact that they got the tasking, know how to get any other target they get tasked to go after, and LIKE Trump....much more than Biden. If he mentions to him that he is "concerned" about this? I'm thinking a list will get drawn up and "options" established, whether Biden calls for it or is even informed.

#12, My thoughts exactly. Would not be surprised if Biden and the Iranians coordinated a plan together. It would solve the dems problem and would satisfy the revenge the Iranians are seeking, a win-win for both sides. The blood lust for Trump is on par for them both. I pray that God will protect President Trump from the evil forces committed to his destruction because I would not trust Biden or any of the deep state to protect him.

How convenient for the dims if such a threat were to come to pass. What makes this a real threat is the high level of corruption within our own federal agencies that could enable such an event. It would be an inside job. God forbid if something happened to Trump, Pompeo, or DeSantis. America would immediately turn against the J6 committee, the biden administration, the dims, and the msm as the instigators of such an event. And looking back at President Trump's first term, America would be immediately reminded of the calls for assassination that were leveled against Trump such as those made by hollywood and lefty msm figures. This would cause America to reject the dim party, the deep state, entertainment, the msm, and everything about these. Don't be so sure that the dims and the deep state hadn't discussed various assassination scenarios previously but were fearful of the political fallout such as the guarantee of a republican president in 2024. May God our Almighty Saviour and Father of Heaven, have mercy on us and continue to protect the President Trump, Melania, the Trump family, Secretary of State Pompeo, Governor DeSantis, the biden administration, and the United States of America.

Do they really, really think we are that stupid? Jake Sullivan, the dangerously incompetent and moronic, (what is he Director of National Security or some such exalted position that endangers us all every minute he occupies the office) that Jake Sullivan, is making an announcement on a Sunday morning show that Iran is looking to assassinate members of the Trump administration and Iran better watch out, because Jake Sullivan and FJB will defend and protect its citizens? REALLY? A little too convenient I say. Trump is preparing for I think a huge rally in Arizona this Saturday where he is sure to unleash his (and by extension our) wrath about yet another hoax, January 6. His poll numbers against the dottering old fool, FJB are skyrocketing. He is preparing the release of a social media company. And most importantly, its 2022 and he is cranking up that 2024 presidential campaign machine. Yeah, if you ask me, little Jakies's announcement either sounds like a warning to Trump or he is actually giving the Iranians the go ahead to do the global deep state's dirty work. We on this site, and many others, have always wondered why the global deep state hasn't tried to assassinate Trump. We all pray for him and his family. I think this is a warning to him and again by extension us, his supporters, to forget about any run in 2024. The global deep state will decide who will run and win the election in 2024, and any attempt to thwart their plans will be met with quick and swift action. Yeah, the hapless and demented Joe Biden administration will defend and protect its citizens. Not a snowballs chance in hell.

The CBS report continues, “The plans would require coordination with Egypt, which has so far refused to welcome large numbers of people from Gaza. Those who pass a series of eligibility, medical and security screenings would qualify to fly to the U.S. with refugee status,

Five West Virginia middle-school track athletes who protested the participation of a transgender student in a recent competition have been barred from future meets and are now engaged in a legal battle with their school district that could end up at the Supreme Court.

The silent protest came after a federal appeals court struck down part of West Virginia's transgender sports ban, allowing the 13-year-old in question to compete

Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke admitted Wednesday that she was arrested and chose not to disclose the legal matter during her Senate confirmation process because it had been expunged from her record. During her 2021 confirmation process, Clarke, who now heads the Justice Department’s civil rights division, was asked by Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) in a questionnaire if she’d “ever been arrested for or accused of committing a violent crime against any person.” To which Clarke responded, “No.” The Daily Signal reported on Tuesday that Clarke was arrested in Maryland in relation to a domestic violence complaint back in 2006.

New York— Even as many Americans say they learn about the 2024 election campaign from national news outlets, a disquieting poll reveals some serious trust issues.

Some 42% express worry that news outlets will use generative artificial intelligence to create stories, according to a poll from the American Press Institute and The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken arrived in Israel earlier this week, speaking loudly and waving a small stick. While Blinken ostensibly represents America's national interests abroad, his job in Israel is all about Presidentish Joe Biden's reelection bid — and how Israeli's defensive military actions in the Gaza Strip are complicating things for Biden at home. Blinken met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in hopes, once more, of getting a temporary ceasefire with Hamas. A truce would "give us something to build on," Blinken said. Who is this "us," Kemosabe, and what are we trying to build? Hamas has rejected every offer for a ceasefire
