I guess this answers the question posed by The Smiths — “How Soon is Nowruz?”

Why is Gavin pandering to Iran?
I thought the arrangement was that the USA would continue giving them money. I guess money is suddenly not enough anymore. Got to show America bowing at the Ayatollah’s feet, like Obama used to do.

The Iranians I knew in college considered themselves to be white.
But then, so did the students from Eastern Europe.

Why is Gavin pandering to Iran? Why not?
They hate the US, they hate Christians and they are on board with the whole "you can change your gender" delusion.

Nowruz is an ancient Persian celebration of the first day of Springtime. It predates Islam by at least a thousand years, from the days of Zoroastar.
The Mullahs do not approve of Nowruz. But it is so ingrained in the Persian culture that there is little the Muslim clerics can do about it. Celebrating Nowruz is a poke in the eye to the Mullahs.

Depends on which Iranians he is pandering to. There are the old Shah loyalists, who consider themselves pure Persians- they usually make goid citizens, very patriotic and pro-America. Then there are the more recent immigrants, who were sent here to spy on the former and do the bidding of the Ayatollas back home.

I said Iran rather then Iranians (or Persians) for that very reason.
All I said is true about the people running Iran currently.
Does not mean that the people living here who's ancestors may have come from that area are all on board with that.

they make it real obvious in California. That sewer of a state has been the conduit for degradation, depravity and sin (into the rest of the nation) for decades. Loathsome people.
