White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Friday attempted to clarify President Biden’s vow to “free Iran,” saying that he was simply “expressing our solidarity” with the young protesters there.
“Don’t worry, we’re gonna free Iran. They’re gonna free themselves pretty soon,” Biden said during a rally at MiraCosta College near San Diego, California.
The president didn’t offer any details on specific actions that his administration would take to “free Iran.”
Jean-Pierre later told reporters aboard Air Force One: “The president was expressing our solidarity with the protesters as he has been doing from the very onset.”
She noted that the administration has leveled sanctions against the Iranian regime and that Biden “spoke very loud and clear” in support of demonstrators during a speech at the United Nations in September.

The White House spokeswoman did not say that the president’s remark indicated any specific change in policy toward Iran but said the regime “must stop its violence and intimidation.”
“Iran’s leadership is facing problems of its own making. We are going to continue to look for ways to hold the regime accountable for the way that they are treating their people,” Jean-Pierre said.
“Our policy is to support the right of peaceful assembly and free speech, that’s what we are doing,” she added.
Now Biden says “We’re gonna free Iran.”
But after abandoning Americans in Afghanistan and leaving our partners there to die, his promise to the brave people in the streets of Tehran simply isn’t credible.
Protesters in Iran have been demonstrating for the last seven weeks in response to the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini while she was in the custody of Iran’s morality police.
Biden’s “free Iran” remark received some criticism on social media by lawmakers and Iran experts.
“Biden vowing to ‘free Iran’ sends all the wrong messages about the US role in the Iranian protest movement,” Sina Toossi, a senior fellow with the Center for International Policy, wrote on Twitter.
“It plays into the Islamic Republic’s hands by making it seem like the US is admitting to spearheading a regime change project – and not the Iranian people themselves,” Toossi added.

Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) argued that after the Biden administration’s Afghanistan blunder, it lacks the credibility for the comment to be taken seriously.
“Now Biden says ‘We’re gonna free Iran.’ But after abandoning Americans in Afghanistan and leaving our partners there to die, his promise to the brave people in the streets of Tehran simply isn’t credible,” Issa wrote in a tweet.
I recently watched “ the greatest film of all time ,” and the most boring one. In retrospect, the title alone should have been a sufficient warning: Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles . Alas, I’m old enough to be a bit nostalgic about massive telephone address books. And massive it is. Clocking over 200 minutes, Chantal Akerman's 1975 dreary drama follows three days in the monotonous routine of Jeanne, a widow, a mother, and a prostitute. I watched Jeanne’s autopilot existence, until, staring at her back as she washes dishes, I decided to fast-forward a couple of minutes, only to discover she was still at it. And Jeanne is equally thorough when she’s busy baking, cleaning, folding laundry, or shining her son’s shoes. She speaks so scarcely and mechanically, that it’s impossible to detect any emotion or volition beyond her carefully controlled chores . Watching Jeanne Dielman is what the word “painstaking” was invented for. Chantal...

Stored procedures: like functions for your SQL. A stored procedure is a batch of SQL statements created and stored on a database. You can reuse a stored procedure over and over again. A stored procedure can accept parameters, run a query, and return results. Many users can call a stored procedure and different applications can call it with different parameter values. What Are the Benefits of Using Stored Procedures? Apart from allowing multiple users and applications to reuse it, a stored procedure has other benefits. It is easy to modify. You can change a stored procedure when necessary and these updates will be reflected for all users. Furthermore, you don’t need to redeploy your application when you modify the stored procedure. It reduces network traffic because the server only passes the procedure’s name over the network and not the entire query. It improves database security since users don’t have direct access to tables.
