A key factor in the reluctance of Western leaders to punish Iran for its aggression is the appeasement policy the Biden administration has pursued towards Iran in recent years in the naive hope that, by going easy on Iran, the Iranian regime might be persuaded to agree to a new deal on its nuclear activities.
US President Joe Biden’s desperation to strike a new deal with Tehran even led to him award a sanctions waiver to Iran granting the regime access to $10 billion, money that critics argue is being used to fund Iran’s terrorist network throughout the Middle East.
In the next few days, something unprecedented is going to be attempted.
A British prosecutor at the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague called Karim Khan is going to try to bring a war-crimes case against an American ally.
Specifically, Khan wants to bring individual cases against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and a head of the Israeli army, most likely the chief of the general staff.
If this happens, it will throw kerosene onto the already flammable international situation.
And further ignite things here at home.
All those expensively educated know-nothings currently hunting down Jews on American campuses will imagine they have even more license to do so.
It will encourage all the antisemites who have crawled out of the sewers in recent months.
And it will be a grotesque smear and slander against the state of Israel.
Netanyahu is a democratically elected leader.
Gallant and the leadership of the IDF lead a citizens army.

American Greatness
In 2021, Joe Biden was elected after a bitterly fought campaign that deposed the incumbent Donald Trump. Democrats eventually captured, for a time, both the House and Senate, ensuring the most left-wing government in modern American history.
Americans were then set to witness a great experiment. For the first time in their lives, a truly radical socialist program would supposedly fundamentally transform the way America dealt with the border, immigration, the economy, race relations, foreign policy, energy, law enforcement, crime, education, and social questions such as religion, gender, abortion, and schooling.
In a sense, we were all to be lab rats of sorts, to be experimented on by the radical left and their various critical theories. Now in the last year of the Biden term, we can see the results of that experiment—and the unfortunate disasters that followed.
But first, how was such a radical move to the left even possible in a center-right America?
The Democratic nominee, Biden, had earlier united the left, but only through a Faustian deal. The handlers of a nearly non compos mentis Biden had ushered all his 2020 primary rivals out of the primary races in unison.
But in exchange for their exits that ensured Biden the nomination, the left took over his general campaign—in which Biden was virtually relegated to his basement—and then set his agenda.
Who was running things?
The mysterious architects of White House ideology included, inter alia, the omnipresent, now-Washington-DC-dwelling Obamas, the old socialist gadfly Bernie Sanders, the fossilized tribunes of the black and Latino congressional caucuses, the DEI firebrand Squad, and the neo-socialist scold Elizabeth Warren.
As a result, for one of the few times in American history, the hard left now had undreamt of power. And it was enhanced by a chorus in our compliant media, academia, corporations, the administrative state, foundations, entertainment, and popular culture.

A documentary on Gen. Mike Flynn, former President Donald Trump’s National Security Advisor, will pop in late April featuring in-depth interviews with Flynn, Tucker Carlson, and more.
The documentary, Flynn: Deliver the Truth Whatever the Cost, will appear on various platforms in late April.
The documentary’s trailer, obtained exclusively by Breitbart News ahead of its public release, includes a snippet of a Flynn interview for the film and viewers can hear Carlson — the former Fox News host who now runs the Tucker Carlson Network where he produces major shows and conducts massive interviews — making it clear that when Trump hired Flynn he was the “most dangerous” person to the deep state. That, Carlson says in the trailer, is because Flynn “knew exactly how the system worked, he knew exactly what the intel world had been up to, and he understood its funding.”
Flynn, of course, joined Trump’s White House as the top official on national security matters — the National Security Advisor — after the billionaire shocked the world when he won the 2016 presidential election. Flynn was the Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) for two years during former President Barack Obama’s administration.
He was a U.S. Army Lieutenant General, and when Obama pushed him out of his administration he gravitated to Trump who was then running for president on the campaign trail and began speaking out loudly
against Democrats’ policies.
Flynn’s book in 2016, the Field of Fight, was critical reading to understand the major national security issues of the day in the battle against radical Islamic terrorism. In that period, of course, the Islamic State — or ISIS — had taken over significant territory in the Middle East and Flynn was one of the few officials in the national security arena who would tell Obama he was wrong and that ISIS could be defeated. Of course, Trump went on to swiftly and quickly destroy ISIS.

When he entered the White House and joined Trump’s administration, Flynn was under assault from the outset by deep-state actors. Flynn was actually the first casualty of what would become many deep-state-inflicted attacks on Trump’s presidency. When Flynn went down at the beginning of Trump’s presidency, in February 2017, many who were aligned with the America First movement that Trump led believed things would only go downhill.
“There’s a moment I just felt like I was drowning,” Flynn says in the trailer. “So I’m in there with all these other political appointees. They’re all supposed to go in there and tell what they believe to be the truth. What they did was they took my assessment and they wanted me to change it. I was like, ‘I’m not changing it.’”
The interest in the Flynn documentary is already exploding online. For weeks now, it has been the number one DVD bestseller on Amazon — before the filmmakers did any major promotion or interviews — ahead of Hollywood blockbusters such as Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom or Oppenheimer. Flynn, a Scott Wiper production, is produced by Aquidneck Island Productions, LLC. The executive producers are Flynn and Victor Mellor.
Flynn will join Breitbart News Saturday on SiriusXM 125 the Patriot Channel at 10 a.m. Eastern this weekend for his first interview about the documentary.
Flynn will also be doing a live tour beginning in April promoting the film, and details for that and for preordering it are available on the film’s website.
In another teaser for the documentary, Flynn talks about if he has any regrets and says he does not.
“Is there any regrets you have in life?” Flynn asks. “I should sit here and say, ‘yeah, I got a lot of them. I got a lot of regrets.’ But when I look back on my life and I understand the lives that were lost, I mean, I’m sitting here with you and I can tell my story.”
“There was deep corruption, and Flynn was the first person I knew personally who was the recipient of that — I mean, how can you take out General Flynn?” Carlson says in another documentary clip obtained by Breitbart News. “He spent his life in the U.S. Army, he ascended to the top levels, how can you take him out? Is the system really so corrupt that you can take that guy out and destroy his life and try to send him to prison? That was hard for me to believe.”
President Biden finalized new civil service protections on Thursday aimed at preventing the sort of bureaucratic housecleaning that former President Donald Trump plans, should he win reelection.
At stake are potentially tens of thousands of policymaking jobs across the government and the ability to have them follow the president’s direction or face firing.
That has become a top goal of Republicans after the deep state thwarted or watered down many of Mr. Trump’s initiatives. It also has become a chief fear of Democrats.
Mr. Biden said his rules would insulate employees from such political pressure by making it tougher to reclassify their jobs and then fire them.
“Day in and day out, career civil servants provide the expertise and continuity necessary for our democracy to function,” Mr. Biden said. “This rule is a step toward combatting corruption and partisan interference to ensure civil servants are able to focus on the most important task at hand: delivering for the American people.”
The rules shield federal workers from losing civil service protections if they are involuntarily moved into job classifications that lack those protections. The rules also create an appeals process for workers who are shifted.
The target is indisputably Mr. Trump, who issued an executive order late in his administration that could have allowed thousands of career civil service positions to be reclassified, making it easier to fire workers.
Mr. Trump said removing “poorly performing employees” who fell under civil service protections had become too difficult, so reclassifying them was a way to get better results from the bureaucracy.
Known as Schedule F, the order was aimed at positions that create policy. Trump officials said those jobs ought to be responsive to the president.
The National Treasury Employees Union, a major public-sector labor union that sued to block Schedule F, said it could have swept up “tens of thousands of frontline federal employees.”
Mr. Biden revoked Schedule F when he took office, derailing the lawsuit.
Mr. Trump has been eyeing a revival should he win the White House in November.
The new rule, finalized Thursday by the Office of Personnel Management, will make it tougher for Mr. Trump or another administration, but not impossible, to surmount.
To overcome a regulation, a president must either go through the rulemaking process again, which can take months or years, or persuade Congress to pass legislation.
James Sherk, who led the Trump administration’s civil service efforts, said the new regulations will be a speed bump but not a roadblock. He said the chief wrinkle is that writing the rules could give Mr. Trump’s opponents more room for court challenges to a policy.
Mr. Sherk said federal employees have long leaned to the left but appear to have skewed hard left since the Obama years, based on campaign donation data.
“In most agencies, the career employees are more liberal than 90% of Americans,” he said.
He released a report, “Tales From the Swamp,” highlighting areas where Trump plans were thwarted by the liberal ideological bent of bureaucrats.
