“YOUR WEEKLY AMERICAN TOP TEN LIST” will be on HIATUS from late MAY UNTIL mid-JUNE….

So, for this week, we present an “oldie-but-goodie” from Spring 2016.    President Trump has withdrawn the United States from the flawed nuclear agreement with Iran.   But in early 2016, President Obama and Secretary of State Kerry had just completed the agreement, and our “Top Ten” offered this commentary:

 

TOP TEN WAYS THAT PRESIDENT OBAMA and SECRETARY KERRY CAN TELL IF IRAN IS CHEATING ON THE NUCLEAR AGREEMENT THEY SIGNED :
 
 
10.     Iconic view of Mount Tochal from Tehran obscured by stacks of new ICBM missiles.
 
9.       High-stepping Iranian Guards regiment leading off beloved “Mummers” parade in Philadelphia.
 
8.        Front-page headline on “Cosmopolitan” magazine:   “EXCITING NEW BURQAS TO DRIVE HIM WILD!“
 
7.         Starbucks introduces espresso beverage:   Bani Sadr Tabriz Truffle
 
6.         For six days now, callers to London and Berlin always get that creepy “busy circuit” buzz.
 
5.          “People” magazine’s “Sexiest Man Alive?”   — Supreme Leader Ali Khameni    (That vain Supreme Leader!   For the photo shoot, his robes were clearly more form fitting.)
 
4.         Most popular baby names in the USA, 2015:    “Noah” and “Emma”
             Most popular baby names in the USA, 2017:    “Abdul-Fazi” and “Nazanin-Sahra”
 
3.         The good news:   Finally, a woman appears on the $20 bill.
             The bad news:   Thanks to the hijab, we can’t tell who she is.
 
2.         “The Late Show‘s” Steven Colbert goes on vacation.    Guest host:    former President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
 
 
And…. the #1 way President Obama and Secretary Kerry can tell if Iran is cheating on the nuclear agreement they signed is :
 
1.           At the 7th inning stretch in Wrigley Field, public address announcer intones:
                  “Gentlemen, please rise and remove your turbans, as we chant “Death to the Cardinals.”
