Iran is actively supporting Joe Biden’s run for the White House. Both the FBI and the Director of National Intelligence have confirmed that Iran is attempting to interfere in the election to favor Biden’s candidacy. The latest covert actions to surface were fake messages meant to scare Democrat voters. They were dressed up as messages from the Proud Boys, but were actually written by Iran’s espionage and terrorist cadres.
Local Democrats not long ago demonstrated their support for the Ayatollahs and Revolutionary Guards of Iran, even if it came at the expense of American lives. After President Trump ordered a missile strike to prevent a terrorist attack against American troops, local Democrats flooded the internet with memes supporting Iran. One meme circulated widely purported to be a joke calling for Iran to bomb the location in Florida where the President keeps a house.
What was funny about that? Imagine in another time calling for Hitler’s war machine to bomb FDR’s retreat on the Hudson. Not so funny then. Not funny now. The Iranian theocratic dictatorship is a murderous oppressor of women, and ethnic and religious minorities. It is the world’s leading, and most blood thirsty sponsor of terrorism. About ten thousand Iranian women yearly are beaten and imprisoned for clothing issues. Women charged with adultery are still murdered. Iran denies that the Holocaust ever happened and is committed to the violent destruction of Israel and Jews everywhere.

At a time when Iran was preparing to launch missile attacks on U.S. troops in Iraq, he made the Iranian flag the profile image for his Facebook page. And he put up this message, which I saved because it shocked me and should have shocked any American. He was cheering on the Iranian military as it prepared to kill to Americans.
Iran did launch its attack. Thankfully, our troops were prepared and none were killed. A major terrorist was eliminated, innocent lives were saved, and Democrats were disappointed.
The Obama/Biden Administration gave Iran over $1 billion in cash and let them get hundreds of millions of dollars that had been frozen in U.S. and foreign accounts due to their support for terrorism and the taking of U.S. hostages. The Obama/Biden administration let the Iranian pro-democracy movement be crushed, without once raising a finger to support a people demanding freedom and liberty. President Trump reversed U.S. policy and isolated Iran, while increasing sanctions that have crippled the Iranian economy and curtailed its violent aggression. Arab states that fear Iran’s militarism have joined with Israel and the United States in a number of treaties and reciprocal trade and travel agreements. Israel and Bahrain are opening embassies in each other’s capitals. Morocco, Egypt, the U.A.E., Saudi Arabia and now Sudan are joining an alliance the Trump administration is building to further isolate Iran.
Iran wants a friend again in the White House. Jefferson County Democrats want Iran to get its wish.
