What a challenge these women have and are probably working 24/7 at times.
You are beautiful, strong, and capable of anything. Keep shining—you light up the world around you. You’ve got the courage to face anything life throws your way.
You inspire everyone with your strength and grace.
At least he has the courage to call it what it is. It is time for countries to be reimbursed on what Iran bombed. Claim their military island and the canal should not be in their hands but an international group representing the nations who fought Iran.
The pallets of cash that Obama gave to Iran, illegals in the millions brought in, illegals given free social security money to live on while citizens were treated like second class citizens, and the woman who is running his library is Iranian and is a problems for our country. We need to do what Britain has done – return them to Iran. Obama placed czars in prominent positions and Biden/Obama/Rice did not run the country by the Constitution. The two of them weaponized the country. It is time for justice for the people.
Iran used the cash to build up their country into what we are fighting today – missiles that have destroyed their neighbors, etc.
Look at the fraud in California and Minnesota committed by both Walz and Newsom and the rest of the blue states. Look at the debt and you can see what Obama/Biden have done to us.
Donald Trump has renewed his criticism of Barack Obama over the 2016 $1.7 billion payment to Iran, framing it as a failed bid to buy goodwill. Obama has long maintained the transfer was a lawful settlement of a decades-old arms dispute, not a ransom. The clash resurfaces amid escalating Middle East tensions and ongoing debate over U.S. policy toward Iran.
Trump renews attack on Obama over Iran payment
In an April 1 national address, Donald Trump sharply criticized Barack Obama’s handling of Iran, focusing on the $1.7 billion transferred in 2016. He described the payment as “green, green cash” flown from U.S. banks in Virginia, Washington, D.C., and Maryland, alleging it was meant to buy Iran’s respect but failed. Trump tied the payment to what he calls the disastrous Iran nuclear deal, claiming it would have led to a massive Iranian nuclear arsenal without his intervention. Newsweek + 2
Obama’s longstanding defense of the 2016 settlement
Obama has consistently rejected claims that the payment was ransom for hostages, noting it was publicly announced months earlier. He explained that the funds resolved a legal dispute from the 1970s over undelivered military equipment and were delivered in cash because sanctions prevented banking transactions. U.S. officials confirmed the money was sent in foreign currency on pallets, sourced from central banks abroad, to comply with sanctions restrictions. Newsweek + 2
The $1.7 billion settlement comprised $400 million in Iranian funds frozen since before the 1979 revolution, plus roughly $1.3 billion in accrued interest. The dispute was adjudicated at the Hague Claims Tribunal, and officials argued the settlement avoided potentially larger liabilities. The interest portion came from the U.S. Treasury’s Judgment Fund, which allows the executive branch to settle claims without additional congressional approval.
The revival of the Iran payment controversy comes amid heightened Middle East tensions, including recent U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iranian leadership after failed nuclear talks. Trump is leveraging the episode to contrast his Iran policy with that of Obama and Biden, framing himself as the corrective force. The dispute highlights enduring partisan divides over diplomacy, military action, and the handling of historical grievances, with potential implications for public trust in government decisions.

Following is just one court room in the U.S. with rogue judges working against the people and with Obama/Biden. Where is the Supreme Court in their duty to protect the Constitution?
Global Reserve Currency: Buffett highlighted the U.S. dollar’s role as the world’s reserve currency, cautioning that any instability could have serious global consequences.
Dollar Fluctuations: The dollar recently fell to a four-year low, dropping over 10% between January 2025 and 2026 before partially recovering.
Fed Concerns: He criticized the Federal Reserve’s 2% inflation target, suggesting it may erode savings over time and expressed unease about managing the Fed under such conditions.

Warren Buffett has warned of the impact that the U.S. dollar can have globally, as he discussed the current problems facing the Federal Reserve.
Speaking on CNBC’s Squawk Box, the Berkshire Hathaway chairman said: “Well, if I were at the Fed, the thing I’d worry about always is, you know, you’re the reserve currency of the world.”
He added: “I mean, so you’ve got very smart people, very sophisticated people, the American dollar looks like nothing could happen to it. I don’t feel anything could happen to it. But if it does happen to it… I wouldn’t want the responsibility of running the Fed.”

What To Know
The U.S. dollar is the world’s reserve currency, meaning governments and institutions hold it as their main foreign currency and use it for global trade and finance.
The Federal Reserve is the central bank of the United States and is responsible for managing the economy by setting interest rates and controlling the money supply to keep inflation stable and support employment.
The Fed announced in March it would hold its benchmark interest rate steady at 3.5–3.75 percent, despite persistent calls from President Donald Trump to bring the rate down. The central bank is independent of the executive branch, though it is legally accountable to Congress.
Trump wrote on Truth Social in March: “Where is the Federal Reserve Chairman, Jerome ‘Too Late’ Powell, today? He should be dropping interest rates, IMMEDIATELY, not waiting for the next meeting!”
The Fed sets a two percent annual inflation target as a benchmark for price stability. This means the Fed aims for consumer prices to rise about two percent per year on average, which is considered low enough to maintain purchasing power but high enough to avoid deflation or falling prices.
Buffett expressed concern about the central bank’s long-standing inflation target. “Well, I wish they had a zero inflation target,” he said. Inflation currently sits at 2.4 percent as of February, and has been declining from 3 percent since September 2025.
“But, I mean, once you start saying you’re going to tolerate two percent, that compounds pretty dramatically over time. And you’re saying to people, if you’re getting less than two percent on your money, you’re going backwards. And, actually, if you pay tax, you may pay tax on the two percent. You know, I mean, I don’t like that particular goal,” he said.
What is a ‘central bank’?
Central banks control monetary policy, interest rates and the financial system. They supervise banks, secure payment transactions, and stabilize markets in times of crisis.
Yes, that is true. No matter how long you deal with them – they are not honest brokers. Take a look at their commandments. They can make a contract with the U.S. and under their commandments they can dismiss it under any conditions.
Are we wasting time dealing with Iran and will have to watch them 24/7?.
