Iran’s parliament questioning Iran nuclear deal

Democracy in action! Iran’s parliament is likely to demand changes to Iran deal before voting for its approval.

The ironies here are tragic. While their parliament stands up for its constitutional rights, our Congress, run by Republicans, has ceded its power to the President, with the Senate giving up its constitutional right to only approve treaties with a two-third majority. Instead, they got down on their knees and handed Obama the power to make this very bad treaty without their full consent. What idiots.

Genesis cover

On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.

 
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.


The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
 

"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

    What irony, a bad deal for America and the world gets worse because our own president and Secretary of State are either just not up to the job, which we knew from the start. (You never allow a Leftist to negotiate anything other than whether there should be mustard or mayonnaise on a sandwich) Or they fully intended from the start to further empower Iran by design, which is highly believable to me. I would be curious what roll Valarie Jarrett had to play in this treaty, we do not hear much about her these days. She may be at her summer home in Shiraz at this very moment?

    We can only hope that the Iranians new demands queer the entire thing and we come at the problem from a whole new direction under a new administration (not Democrat). But its also good to know that the U.N. has unanimously passed the agreement, what else would they do? That should give everyone comfort. And I heard before that there seems to be enough votes in the Congress to get it passed. You could not make this up in a movie script, you just could not sell it.

    Listening to Secretary Of State John Kerry commenting on the Iran “deal” this morning, FOOL. A fool just like his boss who believes that his confabulated version of what reality “should” be is what will be.

    Moral literalist = Fool, and maybe more than just a fool, maybe a psychopath who finds himself in a position of power over something that he despises and intends to destroy what is for what “should” be.

    One man threatens to kill another mans brother, then that man demands that the first man buys him bullets and the first man endeavors to to so because he believes that the second man does not really mean what he says.

    I would be a little uncomfortable about the mental health and the motives of my brother and really question whether he loved me as much as he professed he loved me.
