If we knew that the Mullahs were going to be this self-sabotaging and lash out at their Muslim co-religionists, maybe we could have just stayed home. With luck, maybe they’ll accidentally nuke themselves. 😁

I noticed the Azeri airport had Christmas decor up in the lobby. And in March? What’s up with either of those things?…[Read more]

New countries attacked by Iran, while Iranian media still denies they are attacking those countries. The only motivation that seems to make sense (to me) is explained in the next video.

By the way, it seems that Iran still has a somewhat unlimited supply of Shahed drones, or at least many, many more than countermeasures (like the Patriot missile)…[Read more]

About Pam Bondi making her lawyers immune from ethics violoations.
3 minutes:

I’m not sure how only a few people here can make a difference, as suggested in the video, but you can read the first comment left by the author for details after clicking on the “View on youtube” link.

PopeBeanie:

LOL, I knew I was chancing that you’d respond like that. She sounds clueless, but I haven’t heard the full context yet. I think she’s smarter than that, and definitely smarter than what some people want us to believe.

If nothing else, it shows how little contact she has with her constituents.

The news story did mention the shoot…

Putin’s loss of Iran. Ukraine’s gain. 8-1/2 minutes:

PopeBeanie:

Jasmine Crockett is as in the dark about the threats we face from Islamic terrorism as the MAGA administration and as the mainstream media.

Senate candidate Jasmine Crockett: Gun violence has left people ‘afraid’

In terms of cultish behavior, in this case theocratic, it struck me that what’s left of Iranian decision making has fallen back to beliefs that “everyone must be thinking just like us and should therefore know”, that we have the right to punish entire countries in OUR region, just for having hints of strong alliance with USA… EVEN as those…[Read more]

Fellow Unbelievers:

Lest anyone forget, it was the Israelis, not the Orange Man, who killed Khamenei and his key enforcers. This could have happened sooner if Trump hadn’t restrained Israel during the 12 Day war. While this also regrettably included members of Khamenei’s family, Khamenei was the one who dragged them along for the crazy train…[Read more]

The following is almost 15 minutes long, but imo is at least worth a skim. (Check out the lightning in the beginning.)

(Am I on a confirmation bias binge right now!?) 10-1/2 minutes long:

Nice summary. I should admit now, I’m a fan of Jasmine, although I see her now becoming more adept at flashing political cliche’s during her campaign. But the GOP is still ten times more “intentionally naive” about ignoring their King’s openly naked lies and other transgressions.

It will take…[Read more]

I too am hoping that this works out for the freedom of the Iranian people and an end to the Islamist tyranny ruling Iran. I am hoping it happens despite the demented senility of Trump and his administration.

Speaking of terrorism, one of the first things Kash Patel should have been doing before the attack is preparing to surveil…[Read more]

It looks to me like what’s left of Iranian “leadership” is in suicide mode, whether intentionally acting self-destructively or not. IMO the lower echelons seem to be in some kind automatic (aka “brain dead”) response mode, repeatedly shooting themselves in their feet.

They managed to get other countries involved that said outright that they were…[Read more]

So thuggery is part of the training. There must be official, authoritarian playbooks out there, right? About 2 minutes long:

1 minute long:

DHS demanding identity details from social networks of users who criticize ICE, Trump, et al.

Short:

Reg posted a great sample from the latest Pam Bondi hearing, featuring Jeremy Raskin here. My sample features Jasmine Crockett. I only wish she made time to add at the end something like “Pam Bondi will no doubt now be given the opportunity to respond to me, as usual without answering any of my questions, but by changing the subject”.

As I’ve…[Read more]

Short, and funny at the end:
