“DEATH TO KHAMENEI!”: Iran Uprising Explodes, Police Defect, IRGC Collapses in Tehran as Banks Burn and Towns Go Regime-Free
Events inside Iran are accelerating at a breathtaking pace as the freedom uprising enters a decisive phase. Brave Iranians have torched an Islamic City Council building, openly defying the clerical state as the regime reels from cascading losses abroad—its influence in Venezuela, Syria, Lebanon, and Gaza has collapsed, while at home the economy is in freefall, electricity and water are scarce, and the rial has lost roughly 60 percent of its value.
Islamic occupation is visibly cracking: police units in Ilam have joined protesters, IRGC-linked banks such as Bank Sepah have been attacked, and parts of the security apparatus are retreating. Despite reinforcements, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has lost effective control of Tehran, with Abdanan and Malekshahi reported fully liberated as chants of “Death to Ali Khamenei” echoed through the streets.
Overnight, explosions rocked the capital, a petrol station was hit, and an IRGC transport bus was destroyed, signaling a shift from protest to sustained resistance. Regionally, the Israel Defense Forces have moved to high alert, striking Hezbollah targets and convening extended security deliberations as a warning to Tehran’s proxies. Momentum is building on every front; as opposition leader Maryam Rajavi declared in saluting the Resistance Units, this fire is spreading—and it may no longer be containable.
With police defecting, IRGC positions collapsing in Tehran, banks and regime assets burning, and towns declared regime-free, Iran’s fast-moving revolt enters a decisive phase as Khamenei’s rule visibly unravels.
Protests in 111 cities and towns since the beginning of the movement.
And as Iranians bleed and cities burn for freedom, the sharia-compliant media does what it always does—covers for the mullah regime, buries the truth, and chooses silence and obedience over journalism.
The Islamic City Council building was set on fire by brave Iranians rising up against the Islamic regime.
The Islamic occupation on brink of collapse in Iran
Despite extra reinforcement, the IRGC have lost control of the capital city Tehran.
Iran has lost Venezuela, Syria, Lebanon, and Gaza. Not much is left. They have no electricity, no water, and their currency has lost 60% of its value. The regime’s days are numbered.
Here are the latest major update. The Democrat media is silent – no coverage – of the biggest news story on the year.
BREAKING: The Islamic City Council building was set on fire by brave Iranians rising up against the Islamic regime.
The towns of Abdanan and Malekshahi in western Iran have been LIBERATED
Khamenei’s forces fled as protesters chanted “Death to Khamenei” on Day 10 of #IranProtests
Opposition leader Maryam Rajavi saluted the Resistance Units, adding this is a fire that cannot be extinguished
Oh, Geller has more:

DAY 10: Iran Erupts Nationwide: Protests Reach 28 Provinces as Chants for the Shah Return Grow and Death Toll Rises
BREAKING NEWS: Members of the Iranian regime’s police forces in the Ilam area have just joined the protesters.
Iran enters tenth day of protests with at least 35 people have been killed in the Iran protests, including four children. Over 1,200 people have been arrested as demonstrations spread nationwide.
Protests that began December 28, 2025, have spread to 28 of Iran’s 31 provinces, with 369 demonstrations tracked by the Institute for the Study of War. Chants now call for the return of Reza Shah Pahlavi, and rights group HRANA reports at least 35 deaths—including four children—and over 1,200 arrests. The government offered $7 monthly handouts for four months, but critics call it too small amid hyperinflation, while Elon Musk’s Persian retort to Khamenei has become a protest slogan on the streets.

HEADLINES: Massive Skinny Minny raid; Democrat decline continues; Venezuelan/Greenland meltdown
N POLITICAL NEWS
1) I told you that the feds were not even getting warmed up yet with the Skinny Minny fraud, that ultimately nearly every single fed agency will be involved in prosecuting these rectalsnappers. So here it comes.
https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/immigration-agents-surge-into-minneapolis-in-largest-operation-ever-5967136
Trump orders the largest ever immigration enforcement effort in MN. As the song goes, “Here Comes the Boom.” Just one more example: Feds are probing hundreds of millions in cash in luggage leaving the Mogadishu, er, Minneapolis airport.
https://justthenews.com/government/security/wedfeds-probing-hundreds-millions-suspected-somali-cash-luggage-leaving
Trump could probably get all this done quicker by making a deal with the Cincinnati Bengals to trade Joe Burrow for 80,000 Somalis to be ushered back to their home stadium in Africa. I’m sure he can come up with a lucrative inducement for the Bengals. And how about this side effect: With Maduro out-—as someone who was “threatening them”-—up to 600,000 Venezuelan amnesty types no longer have a case and must go home.
https://www.axios.com/2026/01/06/venezuelan-immigrants-tps-maduro-deportations
And MORE bad news, again confirming what I said about the all-expansive nature of these investigations, as state addiction and mental health facilities are just the latest fraud vehicles there.
https://x.com/LouRaguse/status/2008682496267809051
Trump is going after Kollyfornia soon, and right on cue, Gruesome vetoed a bill that would track state spending on homelessness and housing.
https://www.abc10.com/article/news/local/california/tracking-state-spending-homelessness-housing/103-31487e1c-8519-456b-b64f-a3f41e167d0c
Gee, why? Unless, maybe Old Oleaginous One knows that that spending is the center of state fraud. And here is a piece by the urinal lickers at the Slimes saying, “Wait a minute. You can’t run on affordability and have fraud out there, cuz people will blame DemoKKKrat fraudsters for the lack of affordability.”
https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/07/opinion/minnesota-welfare-fraud-democrats.html?searchResultPosition=9
Bingo.
2) Not only did markets rise on the news of Maduro’s unfortunate incarceration, but the arrest was bad news for the Russkies.
https://fortune.com/2026/01/05/big-short-investor-michael-burry-venezuela-maduro-russian-oil-less-important/
Or so says the “Big Short’s” Michael Burry.
3) Those of you who read this know I told you about this Monday, that among all the other things that great Maduro raid accomplished was that it showed Russkie and ChiCom tech is poopiecaca. The USN went through those defenses like tissue paper, and now other people are realizing it.
https://www.theepochtimes.com/article/how-chinese-made-radar-defense-systems-failed-in-venezuela-5966659
Oh and here’s another spinoff of the raid: the “bodyguards” who were killed were all Cubanos.
https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/cubas-security-state-colonization-americas-proven-delta-force-killing-32-intel-agents
Conservatives have said for decades that Cuba was the #1 source of instability in Latin America and this further confirms. And, as a bonus, the Amazing Zohran was outed when he said he was “briefed” on Maduro’s capture.
https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/us/zohran-mamdani-roasted-on-social-media-for-saying-i-was-briefed-on-us-military-capture-of-maduro-ego-is-unmatched/articleshow/126355781.cms
Nope. Doesn’t even hold a security clearance, nor will he.
4) The Prancing Gheyboy Tampon Timmy can run-—er, not run in this case (for another term)-—but he can’t hide.
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/gov-tim-walz-reportedly-planning-major-announcement-political-career
The Fed Fraudmobile is setting its GPS for him right now. Or, as Jeff Childers puts it, “Tim Walz, the vice presidential candidate one year ago, is now a political corpse, a stain on the party, and a spent force.”
https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/ding-dong-tuesday-january-6-2026
Seth Keshel explains
https://www.captaink.us/p/timothy-j-walz-a-political-obituary?utm_campaign=email-half-post&r=dx45b&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email
how Tampon Timmy did everything he could to expand election fraud in MN, and that there really is a red wave there if you can control the fraud. But to return to Jeff Childers for a moment: he argues that Team Trump had all the dirt on Tampon in the 2024 election but held fire. Well, based on the Maduro raid (and the previous Iran raid), “Silent” Susie Wiles has her troops moving swiftly but silently, almost as though the new Janissaries had their tongues, not their other members, removed. Meanwhile, Childers argues that this is typical prosecutor approach: go after the weakest member first (MN) then turn your guns on the Big Plate Full of Scabs, Kollyfornia, which is rife with fraud. And, right on cue, five DemoKKKrat states have been told their child care funds are frozen.
https://www.axios.com/2026/01/07/trump-child-care-states-funding
It is truly amazing that after 10 years Trump can still play these people like Tom Brady looking off a free safety. He says “Greenland” and then freezes stuff. Do you get the irony?
5) Toddling Tommy Edsall at the New York Slimes is starting to get it.
https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/06/opinion/trump-presidential-power-nonprofits-ngos.html
They are skeeered, very skeered, seeing that in fact the Trump revolution is now affecting culture.
6) Michael (”Granny Killer”) Byrd, the officer who killed unarmed Ashli Babbitt on Patriot Day (J6) 2020,
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/01/developing-lt-michael-byrd-who-shot-ashli-babbitt/
is revealed to be running an unaccredited daycare in MD and has pocketed up to $190 million in HHS funds. Sounds to me like he needs to be Maduro’s bunk mate. Speaking of people who should be Maduro’s bunk mates, the Pentagon DEMOTED U.S. Sen. Mark Kelly (what a humiliation) and reduced his retirement pay for his “don’t obey legal orders” video.
https://www.cnn.com/2026/01/05/politics/pentagon-cuts-mark-kellys-retirement-pay-punishment
This saguaroschlub is fortunate not to get the Henry Wirtz treatment.
7) GOP Congressman from Kollyfornia, Doug LaMalfa, dead at age 65.
https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/gop-rep-doug-lamalfa-dies-at-65-post-5966834
Along with MTG’s selfish departure, this leaves the GOP majority in the House at one. There are still four seats unfilled.
8) Voter registration update from PA, where both parties lost . . .
https://x.com/PpollingNumbers/status/2008210553286631763
but Ds lost 13,000 MORE than Rs. Slowly PA is following NC out of DemoKKKrat hands and should be a red state by registration before the 2028 election.
9) Was it really that long ago? On Monday I had a story that the Amazing Zohran was going to sell public buildings to developers to get the cost of housing down. Not so fast, says one of his malevolent walking colonoscopies. She says private home ownership is “white supremacy.”
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/mamdanis-nyt-tenant-czar-called-seize-private-property-calls-home-ownership-white
This is going to be fun to watch. Amazing Zohran knows that traditional Marxist approaches to housing will not lower prices anywhere, especially in New Kabul (NYC). But his minions are full-fledged Leninistas and so we’ll see if he can control them long enough to pretend to be doing something. My guess is he will be forced to split the baby, achieving nothing good for New Yorkers while still appearing to the rest of the country to be a radical lunatic.
10) This is so wonderful I’d like to post it twice: the Corporation for Pubic, er, Public Broadcasting has shut down.
https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/05/business/media/corporation-for-public-broadcasting.html
This is the FOURTH agency/bureau that Trump has closed in a year, and we haven’t even completely shut down DoED yet. Reagan only managed to close one small agency, the Civilian Aviation Board, in 8 years..
11) And since we’re skipping down memory lane, remember the SpewMore Shutdown and how I said Trump won? Yep. More confirmation as DemoKKKrats don’t want anything to do with a new shutdown.
https://www.wsj.com/politics/policy/democrat-government-shutdown-funding-bill-deadline-777ad7a2
12) Former CIA agent Aldrich Ames, who spied for the Soviets, dies in prison at 84.
https://justthenews.com/government/security/former-cia-agent-aldrich-ames-who-spied-russia-dies-prison-84-years-old
13) So I’m saying this again. The Corporation for Public Broadcasting, better known as the “Voice of Lenin,”
https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/05/business/media/corporation-for-public-broadcasting.html
has shut down cuz Trump yanked their money.
14) Our friends at the “Liberal Patriot” for a second column in a row are worried about “cynicism” and government.
https://www.liberalpatriot.com/p/cynicism-about-government-is-hard
It’s not exactly as they put it. While it is true that once elected either party faces a certain amount of “What have you done for me lately,” not matter how successful they are at implementing policies. But Trump isn’t paying attention to that. He continues to move at light speed, on to the next change, and the next. And those pesky voter registrations continue to confirm that MAGA is NOT breaking up in any way shape or form. Indeed, the GOP bounced back in GA with another special election victory.https://x.com/MurphyAJC/status/2008733676318978082
15) Like clockwork, another state DemoKKKrat representative as been indicted for fraud.

17) Christopher Rufo has a good column here with a lot of truth.

20) FAFO: Hilton Hotels just kicked a member hotel out of its chain for not boarding ICE agents in MN on missions.
https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/hilton-removes-hotel-that-canceled-dhs-ice-reservations-5966892
Let me tell you my Hilton story: in the late 1980s we’d fly from Dayton to AZ to see my parents. My son was just crawling around then. We decided, because of the extremely long flight, to break it up a little, drive to Indianapolis (saving an hour, plus the drive time) and stay at the Indy Airport Hilton. When we went into the room, we saw what appeared to be blood on the curtains. Then my son, crawling around, pulled something from under the bed. It looked like a tennis ball-—but it was a fuzzy apple. When I wrote the Hilton manager to complain, he wrote back apologizing and offering . . . a free night’s stay.

IN ENTERTAINMENT NEWS
25) Radio host Michael Reagan, President Reagan’s adopted son, has died at age 80. I did not know Michael well, but we talked on numerous occasions. I also interviewed him for my Reagan: The American President. He told me a story about his enrollment at Arizona State. He had been a good QB at Scottsdale’s Judson High School, and was offered a scholarship to ASU to play football. When Ron saw it, he told him, “We’re not going to accept this. I can pay for your education.” What RR didn’t realize was that essentially kicked Michael off the football team, because there was only room for scholarship players.
26) The Baltimore Ravens fired Super Bowl winning coach Jim Harbaugh after the Ravens failed to make the playoffs. It’s a jungle out there.
