(Marine Barracks bombing - Beirut) In June 2025, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei told his regime at the mausoleum of Ayatollah Khomeini that Iran’s nuclear program would go on regardless of President Trump. “Our response to the US nonsense is clear: they cannot do a damn thing in this matter.” A few weeks later, Iran’s underground nuclear program was rubble and a year later, Khamenei, who mocked any American efforts to negotiate, has joined his beloved nukes under the ground. In early February, a top adviser to the commander of the regime’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps dismissed the buildup of U.S. forces. “Even if America brings 12 aircraft carriers to the region, it can’t do anything,” he bragged . “America is defeated and incapable of any aggression.” His commander is now dead along with Khamenei and elements of the regime’s leadership. The Islamic Revolution that took over Iran had two slogans, “Death to America” and “America can’t do a damn thing against us”. Or “Marg bar...

Tonight the celebration of the holiday of Purim begins. Purim is a Jewish holiday often neglected outside the more religious communities in America and Israel because it commemorates an attempt to exterminate the Jews. If Purim had concluded with a lesson on tolerance, liberal Jews might be more inclined to celebrate it. Unfortunately it ends with a genocidal madman being hung from a tree and the Jews fighting for their lives, winning and slaughtering their enemies. And instead of feeling guilty about it, their descendants eat pastries, dress up in costumes and get drunk. At least those of their descendants who believe in survival instead of surrender. Leftist Jews complain about the difference of values they have with Israeli Jews who insist on survival instead of surrender. They have an even bigger difference of values with the Jews of the Bible. And with Jews throughout history. Not to mention with the religion of the Jewish people. The more liberal a Jew is, the less likely he is t...

  “America can’t do a damn thing against us,” Ayatollah Khomeini bragged while holding our hostages. The Carter administration had undermined the Shah’s government in favor of the Islamists who seized power and then prevented the embassy’s Marine guards from defending the facility and the people inside against the Muslim ‘student’ groups who claimed to be coming in peace. The “peaceful” student activists took over our embassy and held our people hostage. Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei taunted President Trump with the same slogan after being asked to give up Iran’s nuclear weapons program. “Our response to the US nonsense is clear: they cannot do a damn thing in this matter,” he echoed his regime’s founder.’ Carter’s failure to defend Americans had turned Khomeini’s taunt into a confident slogan. America couldn’t stop its diplomats and soldiers from being taken hostage and paraded through the streets. In subsequent decades, future administrations couldn’t stop other Americans from bein...

Even while Epstein drama is consuming the country, David Allen Funston is being set loose. Funston became notorious for luring children as young as four years old in Sacramento into his car with candy and dolls then raping them. A little girl had a knife held to her throat while he raped her so badly she bled. One 5-year-old girl was raped, beaten and left by the side of the road. He raped a little boy and kidnapped two sisters, 4 and 5, before he was finally stopped. Funston was known as “the monster parents fear the most” and was sentenced to three life terms in prison in 1999. But in 2020, even as he was having surfers arrested and small business owners shut down, Gov. Gavin Newsom signed AB 3234 into law which took the state’s already generous ‘elder parole law’ and redefined ‘elder’ as being any criminal over the age of fifty. Now, Funston, who was convicted of 16 counts of kidnapping and child molestation, is being granted ‘elder parole’ under Newsom’s law to the horror of the c...

Councilwoman Tania Fernandes Anderson made history by becoming the first illegal alien Muslim councilwoman in Boston history. Then she made history again by marrying a convicted murderer serving life in prison with no parole. Then she made history yet again by becoming the first illegal alien Muslim councilwoman married to a lifer serving on the Boston city council while under indictment when she was charged in an illegal kickback scheme involving fraud and theft. And she made history by being convicted of corruption charges and being sent to prison, but on the way out passed a resolution that changed July from a commemoration of the American Revolution to a commemoration of the African country she illegally came to America from. Now she’s about to make history one more time as she’s about to be reunited with her murdering husband, who was sent away to prison for life without parole, but is now being set loose on Boston for a ‘Bonnie and Clyde’ moment. (If Bonnie were a Muslim illeg...

After complaining about a water industry that was terrible because it “had too many white men at the top”, DC Water CEO David Gadis bragged that, “My executive team, you know, looks exactly like the community… people of color.” 7 out of 9 members of the DC Water leadership team are black. 5 are women. This hasn’t done anything to get the sewage back in the pipe. Or decontaminate the Potomac. The DC Water 2023 report was titled ‘Water Equity for All’ and had Gadis bragging that “in recent years, DC Water has established itself as the national gold standard when it comes to delivering water equity.” DC Water is now at the epicenter of the massive Potomac sewage spill in which hundreds of millions of gallons of wastewater poured into the river in one of the worst sewage spills in American history. But at least the D.C. Water’s executive team “looks exactly like the community” whose lives they’re wrecking. Or do they? CEO Gadis had pitched his focus on contracting with “minority and wome...

California’s ‘train-to-nowhere’ program started with a $10 billion budget in 2009 which shot up to $135 billion with no end in sight. The Trump administration has tried to cut off billions in federal funds for the money pit on rails and there are signs that even state voters are growing sick of it. But California Democrats had an answer. Around the same time that the CEO of the California High-Speed Rail Authority, was arrested on suspicion of domestic battery after an appearance with Gov. Gavin Newsom celebrating the progress of the ‘train-to-nowhere’, Democrats were moving forward a bill to ban the public from getting crucial information about the project whose budget is more than 5 times that of NASA. The cost of returning to the moon is estimated at under $100 billion. California is spending more than that on a rail project that still hasn’t gotten anywhere and which no one is interested in. California Democrat legislators had already become infamous for covering up their own corru...

A few months before his assassination, Charlie Kirk visited Japan and warned that mass migration was seeking to “replace and eradicate Japan by bringing in Indonesians, by bringing in Arabs, by bringing in Muslims”. With over 100 mosques and over 400,000 Muslims already occupying Japan, even though 95% of Japanese voters oppose Muslim mass migration, a political explosion was bound to occur. Now, Japanese voters have delivered a striking defeat to the forces of mass migration with a stunning win for Japan’s Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, whom the media has already taken to describing as a ‘Trumpian’ figure for opposing mass migration, her Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), which won its largest victory to date, as did a number of other right-wing parties, including the one Kirk was addressing, demonstrating that voters were tired of mass migration. In Kawaguchi City, where so many Turkish Muslims now live on welfare that a Turkish candidate announced a run for mayor last year on a platfo...
