1-Earlier this week, Rep Ilhan Omar shared a defamatory article about me on social media by a Koch-Brothers funded “think tank” co-founded by a known sympathizer of the Iranian regime.
Here’s my response to @IlhanMN
2-Ilhan Omar, when my innocent brother was recently taken hostage by the regime, solely due to my advocacy of civil rights for Iran, I reached out to you, expecting solidarity from you. However, you were silent. You gave no reaction.
3- When women like Saba Kordafshari, Yasaman Aryani, Monireh Arabshahi and Mojgan Keshavarz were arrested for protesting against compulsory hijab in Iran and were sentenced to a total of 95 years in prison, you were silent.
4-When my 70-year-old mother was interrogated for my activities by the Revolutionary Guards, I asked for your help, but you were silent yet again.
You’re silent even now as 176 people have been killed onboard a Ukraine Airlines plane under suspicious circumstances in Iran.
5- After months of silence, you instead chose to amplify a smear campaign against me, a fellow woman of color. Your only comments to all these human rights abuses is to repeat Islamic Republic propaganda against me.
6- As a journalist, I am an independent contractor for a number of media outlets, including the Persian-language service of Voice of America, which was created to counter the propaganda of authoritarian adversaries like the Soviet Union.
7-This was evident to all who know my work, including millions of voiceless Iranians. Is this what you’re bullying me for?
By bullying a freelance journalist like me, you are empowering the Revolutionary Guards to put more pressure on my family.
8-Those of us who hail from countries ruled by tyrants are capable of denouncing both the cruel policies of Trump & dictators in our native lands. I’ve openly condemned Trump’s travel ban—which separated me from my son in the UK—and his threats of attacking cultural sites in Iran
9- I’ve also condemned the Islamic Republic’s ban on Iranian dissidents that prevented people like me from going home. I have loudly protested a potential war against Iran years before you entered the Congress.
10-Yet, when I divulge the repression of the Islamic Republic, attacks against me proliferate by the regime & their supporters in the West. I’d have never imagined that one day a member of Congress, a fellow woman of colour, would join with my oppressors in trying to defame m
Thanks for the Steyn heads up.
Love Mark.

At the game. Can’t wait to watch. Tks.
Praising God they caught it and can treat it. Will be saying prayers for you, Weston.
Thanks for starting the new threads recently. I mostly lurk since I’m almost always way behind. But I do pray for the Trains needs as I see them.
He’s more active at Boston now that he’s more healthy. Best doctors.
“Ilhan Omar previously said that Iran should target Trump properties.”
Aiding and abetting the enemy.
Sorry, that page doesn’t exist!
Thanks.
“A man arrested by Palm Beach Police this morning had $22,000, a machete and a pick ax, in addition to knives in his possession, according to an officer with the department.
The man, identified by his passport as Masoud Yareioeill Zoleh, an Iranian national, also had a car parked at Palm Beach International Airport, Public Information Officer Michael Ogrodnick said.
The department is working with other federal partners in the investigation, Ogrodnick said.
Zoleh was arrested just over the Flagler Memorial Bridge at Bradley Park. Initial reports said he had several knives on him. Ogrodnick said the department received a call at about 9:30 a.m. regarding Zoleh. He would not give details on what the caller said.
The Daily News was initially told by law enforcement that Zoleh appeared to be homeless or without a known address.
A Daily News photographer who arrived on the scene saw the man, who also had camping gear, being arrested by three Palm Beach Police officers and two plainclothes officers, who he was told were from another department.
This is the latest in a series of unusual arrests on the island over the past year or so.
On Monday night a person was arrested at Mar-a-Lago by Secret Service with the assistance of Palm Beach Police and the Palm Beach Sheriff’s Office. A redacted police report revealed only that an arrest had been made and a passenger vehicle was towed. A Secret Service spokeswoman said the department does not comment on active investigations.
In December, Jing Lu, 56, was confronted by the private club’s security officers and told to leave, but she returned to take photos, authorities said.
In April, Yujing Zhang, 33, sparked security concerns when she tried to gain entry to Mar-a-Lago while she carried four cellphones, a computer, two Chinese passports, an external hard drive and a thumb drive. Zhang was given an eight-month prison sentence by a federal judge in Florida and ordered to be deported to China.”
Thank you. Even when there is turmoil everywhere, a post about Melania and pictures makes it all better.
Yep, the good old days.
Oh Weston!
How frightening for you!
Praise God that you were seen in time to stop the clot from moving!
At least now, you know what it is and how it can and WILL be cured!
May the angels watch over you!
There are lots of articles from 2018 and 2019 saying the same thing.
And the sources were more reliable.
I hope you are right exit, but I am not holding my breath.
True.
I only want people like Jane Fonda and Martin Sheen to hold their breath--while protesting global warming after flying to DC on a jet---for 20 minutes or so. 😉
