Republicans who go against their party are a common sight in Washington. Mitt Romney (R-Utah), Susan Collins (R-Maine), Lisa Murkowski (R-Ala.), and the rest vote with Democrats so often, it’s hard to see them as anything but controlled opposition. Democrats, however, generally march in lockstep; one of the reasons for the unhinged outrage against Sens. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) for opposing Biden’s socialist agenda was that Democrats simply don’t do that. They vote with the party at all times, like good comrades.
But now, a group of no fewer than eighteen Democrats in the House have come out publicly against Biden’s Iran nuclear deal. For that many Democrats to break ranks with the putative boss, the deal must be extraordinarily bad.
One of the group, Rep. Elaine Luria (D-Va.), explained Wednesday, “We understand that while the recent negotiations have not concluded, we feel that we can’t stay quiet about the unacceptable and deeply troubling turn that these talks have reportedly taken.”
Unacceptable and deeply troubling is an understatement. Old Joe Biden’s handlers, in yet another of their endless series of decisions that could easily have catastrophic consequences for ordinary Americans, have actually turned over the leadership of the Iran nuke deal negotiations in Vienna to a Russian diplomat, Mikhail Ulyanov. And Ulyanov explained early in March that the deal will be of immense benefit to two countries: the Islamic Republic of Iran and the People’s Republic of China. --->READ MORE HERE

The Biden White House is obsessed with putting a new Iran deal in place, no matter how often reality flies in the president’s face.
The latest warning: A group of 18 House Democrats took their case against the deal — in its specifics and in general — to the press Wednesday. “We feel that we can’t stay quiet,” said Rep. Elaine Luria (Va.).
Absolutely: The developing deal would be an even bigger disaster than the 2015 Obama accord that President Donald Trump rightly withdrew from.
That entente emboldened Iran, upped the global legitimacy of its theocratic terror regime and put the Islamic Republic on a glidepath to “legally” building nukes. This one would likely do the same. Israeli experts put the time to nuclear breakout under such a deal at four to six months.
Plus, it requires massive buy-in from Vladimir Putin, the guy President Joe Biden has rightly called a “war criminal” who “cannot remain in power.” So the deal includes sanctions waivers for Russia’s energy projects in Iran. --->READ MORE HERE
Biden changed "maximum pressure" on Iran to "maximum concessions."
President Joe Biden seems to be dedicated to the foreign policies of his former boss, President Barrack Obama. Like Obama, he is clearly bent on reviving the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) also known as the Iran nuclear deal. In its eagerness to sign a deal with the Iranians at all costs, the Biden administration is willing to overlook the human rights abuses being committed by the Ayatollah’s regime and its praetorian guards – the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC). It is similarly ready to put aside the issue of Iran’s development of long-range ballistic missiles that would enable Tehran to equip such long-range missiles with nuclear payloads and target major sites on American soil, not to mention all points in Israel and the Arab Gulf states.
Former President Obama did more than lift the sanctions imposed on Iran, he provided the Ayatollahs with $150 billion in cash. It enabled the Iranian regime to grant generous military and financial aid to the Hezbollah terrorists in Lebanon, the jihadist Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), Hamas in Gaza, as well as the Houthis in Yemen. The windfall from the JCPOA also afforded the IRGC to provide military training, equipment, and funds to an assortment of Shiite militias from Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. It amounted to the Obama administration strengthening Iran and its proxies at the expense of the security interests of Israel, Saudi Arabia, and other Gulf states such as the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Bahrain.
President Donald Trump reversed that equation. He applied a “maximum pressure” sanction policy that crippled Iran’s economy. He also maintained closer ties with Saudi Arabia, and designated the Houthis as a terrorist organization. At the same time, Trump became the first American president to fulfill the promise to move the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Israel’s historical capital – Jerusalem. He recognized Israel’s sovereignty over the Golan Heights, and acknowledged the legality of Israeli settlements in Judea and Samaria. Trump consigned the IRGC to the list of terrorist organizations, and placed sanctions on its leadership. --->READ MORE HERE
