"Here we go again!"

When folks like Andrew McCarthy articulated why our findings about then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s close adviser Huma Abedin were important, his camp was smeared as being discriminatory. His argument had nothing to do with discrimination or Islamophobia. It had everything to do with Abedin’s familial ties compromising her judgment and allegiances to the U.S. Constitution.
Here we have an example that demonstrates this reality further and it comes via Kenneth Timmerman, who has picked up on the fact that the new Secretary of State – John Kerry – has a son-in-law with family still living in Iran. This reality could conceivably affect how Kerry deals with the Iranians.
Via the Daily Caller:
In a greeting to the Iranian people on the occasion of the traditional New Year (Nowruz) holiday last week, Secretary of State John Kerry exposed a secret that journalists and academics have been agonizing over for the past six weeks: the fact that his daughter has married an Iranian-American who has extensive family ties to Iran.
“I am proud of the Iranian-Americans in my own family, and grateful for how they have enriched my life,” Kerry said in the official statement. Kerry also said he was “strongly committed to resolving” the differences between the United States and the Islamic Republic of Iran, “to the mutual benefit of both of our people.”
Politicians like to keep their families off-limits to the press, a decorum enforced vigorously when it comes to politicians who are in favor with the national media but ruthlessly discarded for others. But in Kerry’s case, there could be larger ramifications.
Since its inception, the FBI has vetted U.S. government officials involved in national security issues, and it generally won’t grant clearances to individuals who are married to nationals of an enemy nation or have family members living in that country, for fear of divided loyalties or, more simply, blackmail.
There it is. Certainly, even leftists can comprehend this concept without inserting race into their thought processes (oh, wait). Imagine a scenario in which a representative of Iran’s mullahs approaches the State Department with a list of demands that, if not met, could have serious consequences for Kerry’s in-laws living in Iran.
In the current political construct, such demands could conceivably involve the U.S. withholding money, weapons, or aid earmarked for a country like Egypt as tensions in the Middle East escalate. While that may not sound like a bad idea to those of us who understand the threat of the Muslim Brotherhood, shouldn’t our Secretary of State’s sole interest be in lockstep with the interests of the United States?
Last year, Abedin’s familial ties to the Brotherhood prompted calls to see her Form 86, which she would have had to fill out in order to gain a security clearance. If she did not, we have a problem. Similarly, if Kerry did not, we also have a problem.
Who would have thought that two consecutive Secretaries of State would have to deal with such controversy?
Then again, enough people have to care in order for it to actually be a controversy.
What time is ‘Dancing with the Stars’ on?

Well, looks like ol Herman Munster's still alive & well foolin' the crowds with his dis-arming good looks ! Why do we still get the numbnutz from the Worst Actors Union ? ( No offense to the ' Real ' Herman Munster, who was a fine man & great actor, if a bit goofy ).
The damocrats dont give a damn about the security of our country. It is time they were all arrested, tried for treason and hung!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Frankly I think they should all be shipped to these countries and made to live there under their laws and see how much they like it then. But we know that will not happen and Hillary will be running for office once again in 2016 and the Sheeple of Amerika just might put her in office if we don't get off our butts and get EVERYONE out to vote then. No more staying home because you don't like either candidate this time. We MUST get ALL out there to vote dang it. Or we are going to loose what is left of that once Great Nation called AMERICA. ?This fool should have never gotten the job of Secretary of State, hell he should not even be the dog catcher (I love dogs too much). I still say he should have been charged with Sedition when he returned from Viet Nam yet he (and his money) was not. WOW! why do they keep putting these thugs in power? Oh yea because they want to destroy America as fast as they can.
AND WHO DO YOU THINK WOULD ARREST THE DEMOCRATS.I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THAT, BUT WHO..
''WE THE PEOPLE'' CAN'T WALK IN AND ARREST THEM, A TAKEOVER WOULD DO WONDERS.
GOD BLESS OUR COUNTRY...........
John F'n Kerry ... a jihadi scum bag and a TRAITOR to the USA
Oh my dear, this is terrible.
Oh but I wrote Senator Bennett --and he replied suggesting he will continue to be a dhimmi because he considers being a slave to Allah part of his duty in defense of the First Amendment. He refuses to accept that Islam is Not compatible with America-- and shariah Law contrary to our US Constitution. when the White House , and the National Cathedral are converted into Islamic Mosques and the Washington Monument turned into one of them towers fitted with loud speakers to announce the Islamic call to prayer five times a day-- when homosexuals who are not slaves being converted to Islam -and women that refuse to wear Islamic gunny sack and be used as sex slaves are stoned to death in public execution..If Bennet is still alive-- will he regret those things he defends today?
Damn, I missed Dancing with the Stars last night while discussing some of this stuff with patriot friends. LOL!
Seriously, though, this is yet one more piece of the puzzle on the infiltration by muslim extremists in our government. We must all remain vigilant to discover and bring to light any and all of this kind of nonsense, not only in our federal government, but in our local governments as well. They have already done extensive damage on the federal level, and with the rise of the jihad training compounds scattered throughout the US, we must remain vigilant. My suggestion is that we keep each other informed as we ferret them out in our local areas. Always good to know where they are.
And is it just me, or does Kerry look like a vampire?
You're right, of course, Twana....bad wording on my part! They are all extremists, all sworn to destroy us by command of their pedophile prophet and that so called holy koran of theirs. BTW, as I just wrote that word, koran, spell check tried to capitalize the k! Wonder who's programming the ning spell check.
got it
