Guess what the Iranians are claiming in the wake of international nuke framework | TheBlaze.com:

"Iranian President Hassan Rouhani on Friday claimed a major victory in his negotiations with the U.S. and other world powers, by noting that Iran will still be able to enrich uranium on its own soil under the nuclear agreement announced this week.

“One promise was that the centrifuges have to spin, and at the same time, people’s life should go on smoothly,” Rouhani said through an interpreter in an address to his country Friday."

Russia Expected to Escalate War in Ukraine Soon

Russia Expected to Escalate War in Ukraine Soon | World Affairs Journal:
"That’s what a number of prominent experts think.
Andrii Parubii, the vice speaker of Ukraine’s Parliament and former national security adviser, stated on March 27th that there is a “high risk” of a “full-scale military operation” in the next few weeks. 
An expert team led by Wesley Clark, a retired US Army general and former NATO supreme allied commander, informed the Atlantic Council in Washington on March 30th that “Ukrainian forces expect [an] attack within the next 60 days.
...No one knows why.
Has Vladimir Putin been skittish about the risks involved?
Did he just make a mistake and fail to seize the best opportunity to attack—i.e., anytime in the first few months after the Maidan Revolution?
Or has he been developing fiendishly clever plans and sharpening his knives?  "

How the Pentagon Lost Track of $45 Billion Is... Ridiculous

How the Pentagon Lost Track of $45 Billion Is... Ridiculous | The Daily Sheeple

Since 2002, Congress has set aside $104 billion specifically to rebuild Afghanistan.
Of that, $66 billion went to the Pentagon.

Recently, the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction asked the military to account for all that spending. 
It couldn’t. 
According to a new report from SIGAR, the Pentagon only knows how it spent a third of its reconstruction budget.

That’s $45 billion dollars the military can’t track and the reason is … ridiculous.
According to SIGAR, the Pentagon didn’t check a box on an electronic form when it filed the information in government databases.

It didn’t break any rules when it did this, and has since fixed the oversight that led to the underreporting, but it’s cold comfort for taxpayers who will probably never know how the U.S. military spent that money in Afghanistan.

The Shanker scenario

The Shanker scenario | Power Line:
Kerry’s column is headlined “A critical deal with Iran, but more work to be done.”

Kerry writes:

On Thursday, the United States, Iran, and our negotiating partners from the UN Security Council and European Union agreed on the parameters of a plan that, if finalized and implemented, will prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon. Let’s call this talking point one:

Is there anyone who seriously believes this? 
President Obama (his statement is here) and Secretary Kerry repeat this talking point (and all the rest) like synchronized swimmers performing a routine. 
The fact that they do so in light of what they have wrought demonstrates two things: (1) they will say anything in the service of a bad cause, and (2) they think we’re really, really stupid.

Setting The Record Straight: New Federal Regulations Will Cause Hot Water Heaters To Become More Expensive April 16

Setting The Record Straight: New Federal Regulations Will Cause Hot Water Heaters To Become More Expensive April 16:
More Federal regulations, making hard of the average family to afford, bigger much more expensive hot water heaters and you may even have to remodel to fit them in your home.
Was there anything really wrong with the old models?
Typical, no need to give consumers a choice, its so good the government will force you to buy it!
Light bulbs, health care and now water heaters!
...While new ones will provide savings on energy costs, consumers will have to pay much more in upfront costs.
...Effective April 16, a federal law requires all manufacturers to make most water heaters more efficient and that means a bigger tanks with more insulation – up to two inches wider and taller–which may require some remodeling if it’s in a tight space.
If it’s in cubby hall or underneath a counter top, that’s going to be a problem.
And there is another issue–the new and improved version could cost hundreds of dollars more, which has many rushing out to buy a “new” old model.
Manufactures can no longer produce them after April 16 and retailers say the remaining “old models” are going fast..."

“Let’s all go off-the-record for a minute,” Van Susteren said at the conclusion of her program. “Why is it just Montel Williams? Where is everyone? We have a U.S. Marine veteran Amir Hekmati being held by Iran in their worst prison known for torture and the only one I hear talking about it and showing outrage is Marine veteran Montel Williams.”

“It’s bad enough that we have a Marine veteran sitting in an Iranian prison and left behind, but now we are leaving Montel behind,” the Fox News host added. “We should all be standing by and with Montel, helping him. Where is everyone?”

The Shoddiest Media Coverage of Religious Liberty You’ll See Today

The Shoddiest Media Coverage of Religious Liberty You’ll See Today
The mainstream media coverage of Memories Pizza — and Indiana’s state Religious Freedom Restoration Act generally — has been abysmal. 
But this segment from CNN manages to gather all the worst aspects of that coverage into just three fear mongering, condescending, religiously illiterate minutes.

A few thoughts: 
First, there is something to be said for “getting the other side of the story,” but what CNN clearly has in mind is not presenting an objective (let alone sympathetic) account of those who value religious liberty protections, but an exposé of hypothetical Christian bigotry. 
So — much like the media types who finally stumbled upon the O’Connors, turning them into national hate-totems — CNN goes questing for these nutty religious fanatics somewhere else, to press them on how they would handle a situation that is statistically unlikely ever to come to pass. 
And in the interest of such responsible reporting, where does CNN go? 
Jeff Davis County, Georgia. 
Cute. 
Second, having found a few small-town Baptist florists brave/foolish enough to appear on camera, host Gary Tuchman, CNN’s national correspondent, conducts the most condescending interviews in recent television history. 
“You’re talking about the Bible, how important it is,” he says to Florist No. 1. 
“I mean, the Bible talks an awful lot about love and loving your fellow man . . .” 
When his interlocutor says that there is no contradiction between loving one’s fellow man and obeying the dictates of conscience, Tuchman, resident theological scholar, rebukes her: “You’re not loving them if you don’t want to serve them, right?” 
Another theological scuffle breaks out with Florist No. 2: “You know, in the Ten Commandments it says you can’t commit adultery, that you need to honor your father and mother. 
If someone didn’t honor their parents or commit adultery, would you serve them?” 
But the parallel Tuchman is attempting to set up fails. 
Being asked to cater a same-sex wedding is not the same as being asked to serve “an adulterer.” The actual parallel would be: “If someone asked you to provide flowers for a birthday party for his mistress, would you serve them?” 
And it would be entirely theologically consistent for the florist to refuse. 
It’s unclear what the Fifth Commandment parallel would be — “If someone wanted you to bake a cake to celebrate your mother’s terminal cancer diagnosis…”, perhaps? — but is the point clear? Attempts by Tuchman (and many others) to make Christians look like hypocrites fail, with just a moment’s reflection. 
Finally, there is the patently inaccurate reporting at the clip’s end: “At these flower shops, they are happy to do business with you, but not so much if you tell them you’re gay.” 
That’s simply false, and it spreads the great falsehood of this entire media firestorm: that “being gay” is what proprietors are objecting to. 
Buried at the end of the story about Memories Pizza, entirely ignored in the media coverage, is this: “The O’Connor family told ABC 57 news that if a gay couple or a couple belonging to another religion came in to the restaurant to eat, they would never deny them service.” 
Of course not. 
But conflating this scenario with participating in a same-sex wedding is a crucial act of intellectual dishonesty that the Left must perpetuate to object to what are, considered calmly, basic, common-sense protections of conscience.

“But the second, the most astonishing thing is that in return, they are not closing a single nuclear facility,” Krauthammer said. “Their entire nuclear infrastructure is intact.”

“The soundbite you showed of the president, and that was in December, no more than a year and a half ago, he talked about you don’t need the Fordow facility, they are keeping it, it’s not going to close,” he continued.

“So, they are going to have the entire infrastructure in place either for a breakout after the agreement expires or when they have enough sanctions relief and they want to cheat and to breakout on their own,” Krauthammer concluded."

New Study Is A ‘Death Blow’ To Global Warming Hysteria

New Study Is A ‘Death Blow’ To Global Warming Hysteria | The Daily Caller:
"...The Max Planck study suggests “that aerosol radiative forcing is less negative and more certain than is commonly believed.”
In layman’s terms, aerosols are offsetting less global warming than was previously thought.
And if aerosols aren’t causing as much cooling, it must mean carbon dioxide must be causing less warming than climate models predict.
“Going forward we should expect less warming from future greenhouse gas emissions than climate models are projecting,” write climate scientists Pat Michaels and Chip Knappenberger with the libertarian Cato Institute, adding that this study could be a “death blow” to global warming hysteria.
...Basically, the IPCC says aerosols deflect a lot of warming — the opposite of the Max Planck study’s finding.
...But incorporate the Max Planck study results and warming would only be as high as 1.8 degrees Celsius — less than half what the IPCC originally predicted.
Michaels and Knappenberger say Lewis’s findings basically eliminate “the possibility of catastrophic climate change—that is, climate change that proceeds at a rate that exceeds our ability to keep up...”
