It can’t be a coincidence that the implementation of the Iran Deal begins today, and that our sailors were released just a few days ago by Iran. Of course, journalists are praising Obama for the release without even mentioning that we don’t know what we traded for them. We shall soon find out…
Praise God! Surely bad parts of Obama's latest deal, but prayers of thanksgiving that Pastor Saeed is coming home. https://t.co/rad1VcWUml
