Robert Malley is not exactly a household name, but he’s been a fixture of the Washington, DC, foreign policy elite for decades. He’s supposedly an “expert” on Middle East policy who has embraced the delusion that we can do business with terrorists like Hamas and the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Malley was the lead negotiator for the disastrous 2015 Obama/Biden nuclear deal with Iran, and Joe Biden eagerly brought him back into the administration as his “special envoy to Iran” to restart talks with Tehran.

Then Malley was suddenly suspended earlier this year and his security clearance was revoked. Media reports indicate that he remains the subject of an FBI investigation that is about much more than just mishandling classified material. But few details have been forthcoming. Until now.

A major report indicates that the Biden administration, through Robert Malley’s office, was likely infiltrated by Iranian spies.

It turns out that Malley hired at least three officials who were part of an Iranian influence operation known as the “Iran Experts Initiative” or IEI, presumably because they shared his pro-Iranian views. (One individual Malley hired currently holds a top post at the Pentagon.)

This initiative was directed by the Iranian Foreign Ministry and relied on second-generation Iranians who could exploit their connections to Western think tanks, academics and the media to influence policy. Communist China has a similar program known as “Thousand Talents.”

Congressional Republicans have been demanding a thorough investigation for months, warning that Tehran seems to have spies inside the State Department. Key GOP leaders repeated those calls Tuesday and demanded that anyone associated with the IEI immediately lose their security clearances.

We’ve been told over and over since November of 2020 that “the adults are back in charge” and there’s no more chaos. That’s just more left-wing lies.

These so-called “adults” are wrecking our economy, waging war on normalcy, selling out our sovereignty and gutting our national security.

Biden’s China Cash

I want to take you back to the night of October 22, 2020. That was the night of the final presidential debate of the 2020 election. Donald Trump was pressuring Joe Biden on Hunter’s “laptop from hell” and all the money the Biden family made from foreign interests.

In response, Joe Biden said, “I have not taken a penny from any foreign source ever in my life… My son has not made money in … China.” This was a lie. The numerous ways Hunter Biden made money in communist China have been well-documented by now.

Now, the House Oversight Committee has released details of two wire transfers from the summer of 2019 totaling $260,000 from Chinese businessmen in Beijing to Hunter Biden.

What makes these transfers so tantalizing is that Joe Biden’s Delaware home was listed as the beneficiary address on both wire transfers.

In announcing this discovery, Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer declared:

“Bank records don’t lie but President Joe Biden does… Joe Biden’s abuse of public office for his family’s financial gain threatens our national security. What did the Bidens do with this money from Beijing? Americans demand and deserve accountability for President Biden and the First Family’s corruption.”

A Growing Danger

We’ve got to get him out of the White House. No, I’m not referring to Joe Biden, although he clearly needs to go, but rather his dog, Commander. He bit another Secret Service agent this week.

They say dogs are a lot like their owners. Apparently, Commander is absorbing the left’s hostility toward law enforcement.

He periodically takes a bite out of agents, just like Bidenomics is taking a bite out of family budgets…

Just like Biden is taking a bite out of our border…

Just like he’s taking a bite out of our international credibility.

Come to think of it, Biden and Commander are a perfect pair!

Philly Erupts

Tuesday, a Philadelphia judge threw out all charges against a police officer who fatally shot a driver during a traffic stop. The driver was armed with a knife. The defense argued that the case never should have been brought to court, and the judge agreed. But Philadelphia’s Soros-funded district attorney is more concerned with prosecuting the police than criminals.

Predictably, there was a demonstration later in protest of the judge’s decision led by Black Lives Matter activists. Every day, minority children, women and senior citizens are victimized by criminals in Philadelphia, and there are no demonstrations about that.

But, as sure as night follows day, the demonstration turned violent and rioting erupted when the sun went down. As AOC suggested, people have to eat!

Apparently, the best place to get food is at the Apple Store, Lulu Lemon, Foot Locker and various pharmacies. Just another day in a Democrat-dominated city.

By the way, Target is closing nine stores in five cities due to theft and threats to customer safety. Can you guess what these cities all have in common?

Exposing Left-wing Lunacy

A new ad is slamming Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) for wasting taxpayer dollars on a $750,000 earmark. Now, I’m against wasteful pork barrel spending. But that’s not the main issue here.

Funding from Brown’s earmark — your tax dollars — went to a group that promoted a drag queen reading event for children!

Kudos to Citizens for Sanity for exposing this left-wing insanity! That’s exactly what we need to do. Virtually every elected Democrat at every level — from the White House to your local school board — is all in on the radical LGBTQ agenda.

It would be political malpractice to fail to raise these issues to remind voters how hostile the modern Democrat Party is to normalcy and the values of the American people.

Defending Faith, Family & Freedom

If you missed my Family Talk interview with Phil and “Miss Kay” Robertson of Duck Dynasty fame and you’re pressed for time, I encourage you to check out this week’s edition of my “Defending Faith, Family and Freedom” podcast for the James Dobson Family Institute.

Phil, “Miss Kay” and I discuss their new movie, “The Blind,” which opens in theaters today.
