Leading stories this morning were Knicks beat Spurs 94 -90 to win their first Championship since 1973! Followed by President Trump announcing he had won another war and would be signing an agreement with Iran today (Sunday), although Iranian leaders don’t think so. Breaking news may still happen… sometime. Finally, some soccer teams beat some other soccer teams, and FIFA (Fédération Internationale de Football Association) teams in Groups A – L continue the long championship until Sunday, July 19, in East Rutherford, N.J., at 3:00 p.m. ET.
In other news congressional Democrats say regardless of signing any agreement, Donald Trump lost the war, and the U.S. is worse off than when we began attacking Iran. In fact, they say Iran is more powerful than ever, and U.S. is in weaker position.
On FOX News Sunday, Senator Jack Reed (RI-D) smirked that “For a hundred days we’ve been hearing constantly there’s going to be a deal, there’s going to be a deal…the precipitating issue today is the president wants to give himself a birthday present and we have paid for it with hundreds of billions of dollars.”
Reed continued, “The point the president just made that they’ve agreed not to develop a nuclear weapon, they did that with president Obamba’s JCPOA. That was the agreement they held to not build a nuclear weapon. And we’ve disrupted the world economy, and we’ll be getting basically less than what we had under the JCPOA that President Trump walked away from so I think the one point I think you could emphasize is the strait (of Hormuz) will open.”
Nevertheless, I believe we are being distracted again by the media and the feuding congress. The elephant (non-partisan) in the room wonders how many terrorists President Biden and Democrats allowed to cross our open borders? How many of those terrorists are affiliated with Iran? How many are affiliated with China?
Remember, terrorists are more enemies than other nations. The goal of all terrorists is to disrupt. What is going on this summer in America that might be a target for disruption?
According to the USA.gov website: “The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) works to improve the security of the United States. The Department's work includes customs, border, and immigration enforcement, emergency response to natural and manmade disasters, antiterrorism work, and cybersecurity.”
DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin expressed confidence in the agency’s ability to respond to any attacks or issues during the World Cup matches. In a comparison, Mullin said, “We have to keep in mind 78 Super Bowls in 38 days throughout the United States and 11 different host cities," he said. "Each one of those had to be treated like a Super Bowl.”
DHS and other law enforcement agencies have their work cut out for them. It’s even tougher when political forces impede the challenges. "We're ready," he said. "But I feel positive that we could have been even in a better position if we weren't having to deal with the gamesmanship of the Democrat Party through this whole political theater of keeping the Department of Homeland Security shut down." "The truth is, though, with the Democrats defunding ICE and CBP for 115 days and DHS for 76 days, it made it tough," Mullin said.
Celebrating championships and birthdays always attracts attention. Buckle up!
