When anti-regime protests spread like wildfire throughout Iran in mid-October of 2022, the regime’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was quick to lay the blame on the usual foreign suspects. “I say explicitly that these riots and this insecurity were a design by the U.S. and the occupying, fake Zionist regime and those who are paid by them,” he told a class of cadets at a police college in Tehran. He suggested that the ultimate goal of the U.S. and Israel was regime change in Iran. This elicited a response on Twitter from Iranian rapper Hichkas, who defended foreign support for...

Iran and ICE Proverbs 21:21 (King James Version) He that followeth after righteousness and mercy findeth life, righteousness, and honour. Where is Haaavad, Yale, Columbia, and Stanford on the massacres in Iran? After years of supporting Hamas in Gaza against the Jews as they claimed 60,000 babies murdered by Israel with zero documentation, they know Iran is murdering young Iranians in the streets and not a single sign. Guess they are proving beyond a shadow of a doubt how much they cared about those children in Gaza, it was simply Virtue Grandstanding for the cameras. Some of the biggest fools...

A rough draft of a speech I think POTUS should make: My fellow Americans; just over a year ago, I was overwhelmingly elected on a law-and-order platform that included a promise to stop the invasion of our country by aliens who were allowed, and incentivized, to enter by the previous administration. I promised to enforce our immigration laws, already on the books, and this includes deportations primarily and initially focused on some of the worst, known, criminals. It should be no surprise to you, the people, that I have acted to fulfill my promise because a country without protected borders...

The Iranian government is reportedly planning to permanently sever its citizens from the global internet — confining them instead to a state-run system as part of a continued crackdown on dissent following the Islamic regime’s slaughtering of thousands of protesters. Filterwatch, a digital rights monitoring project which has tracked Iranian internet censorship since 2012, says info it obtained indicates Tehran is moving toward “absolute digital isolation.” The Islamic Republic is abandoning its old model of “mass internet censorship” in favor of a “permanent shift” toward a “sealed intranet” while “access to the outside world is granted only to those with...

The death toll from the protests that were sparked over Iran’s crumbling economy has reached more than 500 protesters as the government is accused of detaining more than 10,000 people – leading Trump to threaten US military force against the authoritarian regime. “Iranian government, you can’t trust them,” said a 61-year-old Great Neck man whose wife remains in Iran.
