An Iraqi militia leader has vowed to kill US citizens if President Donald Trump is re-elected by the US in November.

Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, deputy commander of the Iraqi Popular Mobility Forces, was one of Iraq’s officials who was killed last week during the drone strike on Iranian General Qassem Soleimani.

Now Jawad Al Telbawi, the commander of one of the PMF factions, says US civilians could be targeted if Donald Trump was re-elected to the Oval Office in November.

Al Telbawi suggested that the target of terrorist attacks would be U.S. civilians.

After threatening the ‘fool and a blackmailer’ of Trump and the U.S. military, Al Telbawi also requested that the U.S. citizens ‘pressure’ Trump to withdraw U.S. forces from Iraq ‘before we ship your army back into a coffin.’

“If the American people re-elect Trump to the US presidency [in 2020], this would mean they support his crimes,” said Al Telbawi.

“This could change our position towards the people of the United States. All American interests will be at risk in the region.”

The duke and duke of Sussex wanted to become financially independent,” they said in a statement issued by Buckingham Palace. Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle said they were “stepping back as senior members of the royal family.” 

The announcement comes just weeks following Prince Andrew’s retirement from his royal duties through the friendship he has with the billionaire pädophile Jeffrey Epstein The Independent reports.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle confirmed in their declaration that “We decided to make a transition to a gradual new position within this organization this year after several months of contemplation and internal discussions.

“We hope to step back to become financially independent as’ senior’ Members of the Royal Family, while still fully supporting Her Majesty The Queen.

“We are prepared to make the change with your support, especially over the past few years,” they added: “We intend now to balance our time between United Kingdom and North America and continue to honor our responsibility towards the Queen, the Commonwealth and our employers.

“It is with great pleasure that we will be sharing with Her Majesty the King, the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Cambridge and all the interested parties the full details of this interesting next step in time. Up until then, thank you very much for your continuing support. “The Royal couple visited Vancouver with Meghan’s mother, Doria Ragland for their six-week holiday over Christmas.

The Guardian reports: A statement originally posted on the Ukrainian embassy’s website in Iran dismissed an act of terror and stated that the engine malfunction had caused the accident. This was later drafted, however, with the ambassy stating that an official commission would provide all information.

The black box contained vital records of the crash of the aircraft in a field among debris outside Tehran, but Iran said it would not pass it on to Boeing the manufacturer of the aircraft. It is not clear whether Iranian officials question the legitimacy of handing the black box to Boeing, an American company, or if they want to inspect the package by themselves.

The news has fuelled speculation that the downing of the aircraft was suspicious.

Boeing, who would usually be involved in such investigations, issued a brief statement that he knew of the disaster media and collected more information.

We are aware of the media reports out of Iran and we are gathering more information.

The 737-800 is of the same family as, however, the 737 Max 8, which has been grounded since two fatal crashes in Indonesia and Ethiopia in 2018 within six months. The 737-800 deals with a software system distinct from that involved in the Max 8 crashes.

Doesn’t look like it was struggling on take off, don’t see any descent, looks like a sudden problem so very likely was shot down or something exploded. pic.twitter.com/yl3Zwsvzkq

The plane was under four years old and it was checked two days before the accident by Ukraine International Airlines, which suspended its flights indefinitely to Tehran.Yevheniy Dykhne, the airline chairman, said that it was “one of the best aircraft we had, with an amazing and reliable crew.” Nine of the Ukrainians were crew on board.

According to Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), Iran was given “missiles fired on US troops on Tuesday by Iran paid for the billions Obama gave.”

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) shot the Obama administration in a Fox News interview Tuesday saying that Obama’s policy towards a state terror sponsor number one was “appeasement” Iran launched more than ten U.S. military and coalition forces ballistic missiles in Iraq on Tuesday.

“I think you’ve seen a dramatic shift if you look at Iran’s policy. The policy was appeasement under Barack Obama, “Cruz said. “The policy under Obama’s catastrophic Iranian nuclear deal was to give Iran more than $100 billion. Cruz went on to state: “The weapons we’ve seen on US servicemen tonight are paid for by the billions the Obama administration has poured into the Ayatollah with and if history teaches anything, it won’t give billions of dollars who hate you and want to kill you.” They literally flown $1.7 billion cash in unmarked bills into the dead of night on pallets in Iran. I don’t want a war. I don’t want a war. Neither do I believe you, Senator. But there must be an answer, doesn’t it?

CRUZ: Sean, I believe it’s just right. Iran’s extremely dangerous. He was the world’s most dangerous terrorist when you look at Soleimani and take Soleimani out. The Defense Department told us that he was directly responsible for the deaths of at least 603 Americans. Women and servicemen. Women. He has led terror groups worldwide, including Hamas, targeting Americans, targeting civilians and picking him up has made America safer. As we look at this attack tonight, we see the Ayatollah Khamenei striking back to America and targeting our bases. But I’m going to say that and I think what you cautioned about in your opening monolog is right. We’re not going to get into a prolonged Middle East Land War. We won’t do it. We won’t. When you see Democrats and the media lightening up their hair and saying we’re going into World War III, it’s paranoia, and they hate Donald Trump, because we all used to get together and agree that when there’s a terrorist attacking America, maybe Soleimani has just orchestrated an attack against the United States. In recent days, the Embassy has said that taking a terrorist is a good thing. I commend President Trump for his strength following the principles of peace, but at the same time we will not harm our sons and daughters for an extended battle in the Middle East.

HANNITY: One of the things we should be thankful for living in the greatest country that God gave man above, this country is our great army, the United States of America, and our sophisticated weapons. One thing we can trust is that Iran’s economy has been greatly affected. Who would think of bribing mullahs and bribing Kim Jong-il? That is the question. In Iran, Senator, they have three main refineries. One. Three. One day, I’d imagine those refineries blew up. They had a domestic problem because that would lead to the people of Iran being very bad. If they want to change the regime, it’s up to them. Perhaps we could help them in some ways with arms, but we are not sending our sons and daughters there.

CRUZ: I think you saw a dramatic shift when you look at Iran’s policy. The policy was appeasement under Barack Obama. The policy under Obama’s disastrous Iranian nuclear deal was to give Iran over $100 billion. In the dead of night, in unmarked bills they literally flew $1.7 trillion in cash into Iran. In a very real sense, the missiles we saw fired on U.S. men and women tonight were paid by the billions of the Obama government that flooded the ayatollah and that, if history teaches anything, does not give billions of dollars that hate you and want to kill you.

Two Fairfax County Democrats were caught in a hot microphone 2nd Amendment supporters as “crazy,” “gun nuts” and “just like kids” as the State Senate and the General Assembly came together in Richmond in anticipation of the upcoming legislature.

Senator Dave Marsden, and Delegate Eileen Filler-Corn, Speaker designate of the Virginia House of Delegates, were overheard in a live street debate as to whether or not it was worth their time to stand by and hear their constituents before they implemented sweeping arms control and confiscation bills.

Nationalfile report: As a conference broadcast on the live feed of the state legislature seemed to be delayed, Marsden can be heard asking Filler-Corn if she is going to participate in a later meeting, probably centered on the gun control and confiscation measures in New York City.

“Do you hang around at 10 a.m. gun nuts?”It is overheard for Marsden to ask Filler-Corn.

“Such people are insane!”she replied.

Marsden kept the conversation going as if that was not enough, telling Filler-Corn that the gun owners “simply like the kids,” as Filler-Corn asked him if he believed the constituents would “stay calm” or not. “Yeah, until we have answered them,” answered Marsden.

“We’re going to get through it!”DAVE MARSDEN: You’re going to stick around at 10 a.m.”

EILEEN FILLER CORN: These are insane people.

DM: Like little children, yeah.

EFC: You think they’re going to remain calm?

DM: Yeah as long as we’re not answering them.

EFC: Yeah. Yeah.

DAVE MARSDEN: Are you going to stick around for the 10 o’clock gun nuts?

EILEEN FILLER CORN: These people are crazy.

DM: Yeah just like little kids.

EFC: Do you think they will stay calm?

DM: Yeah as long as we don’t respond to them.

EFC: Yeah.

DM: We will get through this. pic.twitter.com/7QSYvkV1Lj

DM: We’re going to get through. Pic.twitter.com/7QSYvkV1Lj— Virginia Political Memes (@VApoliticalmeme) January 6, 2020 Ironically enough, the first time that Senator Marsden was found ridiculous in weapons was not the Monday morning conference.

The Senator, in an email from moms-at-Arms.com, describes attending a forum for VCDL members, whom he describes as “childish and boorish.” Marsden further claims that he received threats of violence, after his telephone number has been passed on to constituents, which he describes as “indicative of mental health problems amongst many supporters of gun rights.”

“Our obsession with guns is what this country has a problem,” Marsden told supporters of the 2013 Moms Demand Action rally.

“These metal objects are totally obsessed with us,” said he to the crowd outside the Virginia State Capitol.

Over the years Marsden’s campaigns, like those of Eileen Filler-Corn, have been largely bankrolled by the group and both legislators featured prominently on the group’s webpage and campaign literature.

In 2019, the sister organization Everytown For Gun Safety, Moms Demand Action, spent a record $2.5 million on “Flip Virginia’s General Assembly.”
