Lessons from The Little Red Hen

I was a blessed girl when I was younger, my parents, especially my Dad read to me when I was young. One of the major benefits of being the first born, of an evening when Dad got home he would read to me. All kinds of books, all kinds of subjects. For whatever reason, one particular book has been nagging at me for a week or so.

I suspect this may have to do with the ongoing conflict with Iran, which we never ever had a problem with until Donald Trump started one…Ok, that’s pure sarcasm. Iranian and Iranian-Backed Attacks Against Americans (1979-Present) with the present being June of last year. It’s pretty extensive.

Iran’s leadership has become and endangered species thanks to Israel, their fabulous intelligence agency The Mossad, and the American and Israeli air force efforts, and brave Iranians who are passing on intel when they can. So, the Islamic regime is throwing a temper tantrum as they fight for their survival. To this effort, they’ve done something they’ve never ever done before, they’ve brought access to the Strait of Hormuz into the equation. Nope, they’ve never done that.

2011–2012 Strait of Hormuz dispute and that’s left wing source Wikipedia.

The 2011–12 Strait of Hormuz dispute was a dispute between a coalition of countries and Iran. The dispute arose on 27 December 2011, when Iranian Vice President Mohammad-Reza Rahimi threatened to close the Strait of Hormuz.[3] In late April 2019, Iran warned that it would block maritime traffic through the strategic waterway if it were barred from using it, amid escalating U.S. sanctions.

A history of Iranian threats to blockade Gulf oil exports Wow, would you look at the date on that article! 13 December, 2018

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani this month declared that Iran would close the Strait of Hormuz if the US blocked Tehran’s export of oil.

“If someday, the United States decides to block Iran’s oil [exports], no oil will be exported from the Persian Gulf,” Iranian state television quoted him saying.

Tehran has made similar declarations about closing the narrow Strait of Hormuz – where one-fifth of the world’s oil supply today transits through from the Gulf into the Indian Ocean – over the past 40 years, whenever it has felt threatened.

Fears of the strait being blocked go back even further than that.

Rumor: Iran To ‘Practice’ Closing Strait Of Hormuz; Plug Up Oil Tanker Corridor Wow, would you look at the date on that article! Dec. 13, 2011

TEHRAN (Reuters) – A member of the Iranian parliament’s National Security Committee said on Monday that the military was set to practice its ability to close the Gulf to shipping at the narrow Strait of Hormuz, the most important oil transit channel in the world, but there was no official confirmation.

The legislator, Parviz Sarvari, told the student news agency ISNA: “Soon we will hold a military maneuver on how to close the Strait of Hormuz. If the world wants to make the region insecure, we will make the world insecure.”

BREAKING: Iranian Regime Harasses, Attempts to Intercept US Destroyer in Strait of Hormuz

Wow! Would you look at the date on that article! Aug. 24, 2016

US defense officials confirmed Wednesday the Iranian regime attempted to intercept a US Destroyer in the Strait of Hormuz.

Four Iranian ships harassed and carried out a “high speed intercept” in the strait of Hormuz.

Two Oil Tankers Hit By Torpedoes in the Strait of Hormuz — Trump Domestic Energy Policy Keeps Oil Prices in Check Wow! Would you look at the date on that article! Jun. 13, 2019

Two tankers were hit by torpedoes in the Strait of Hormux on Thursday morning. The crew members were rescued and taken to safety.

A Norwegian and a Japanese tanker were hit by torpedoes.

Despite the attacks the Dow Market was up 50 points when the market opened at 8:30 AM.

Oil prices only spiked 3.3% or by nearly two points. This is due to the abundance of oil here at home thanks to energy policy of President Donald J. Trump.

Iranian Commandos Seize Israeli-Linked Cargo Ship in the Strait of Hormuz

Well, I’ll stop, you get the idea. The Islamic regime occupying Iran right now has a long history of using the threat of closing the Strait of Hormuz. This isn’t new, and it isn’t because of Trump and or Netanyahu. It’s because they are Islamic terrorists and that’s how they roll.

So President Trump has been trying to get the Strait back open for the safe shipping of oil through the Strait of Hormuz.

Probably because America gets the majority of their energy from there, right?

Um.

Oil flow by country

Maybe not so much.

In fact it appears that other counties should have a much bigger motivation to make sure the Strait is open and safe, including the exporters.

So President gently suggested to our NATO allies they might want to do something useful towards helping secure the strait from the deranged Islamic terrorists, as they have been for many years now.

The United States contributes to NATO’s common-funded budgets and programs through direct and indirect contributions. NATO has a governance structure that allows allies to collectively decide what is eligible for common funding and how much can be spent annually. In 2026, NATO’s annual budget and programs are projected to cost approximately €5.3 billion (£4.6 billion), with a cost-sharing formula in place to cover operational expenses.

NATO guidelines state that member nations are expected to commit a minimum of 2% of their Gross Domestic Product (GDP) to defense spending. This target was agreed upon by NATO member states in 2006 and again in 2014, with an aim to reach it by 2024. As of 2025, all NATO members are expected to meet or exceed this 2% target.

The United States is the largest financial contributor to NATO, both in terms of total money spent and as a percentage of its GDP. In 2021, the U.S. spent over $811 billion on NATO funding, representing 3.5% of its GDP. By 2023, the U.S. contributed $860 billion, or 3.49% of its GDP, to NATO funding, accounting for 68% of NATO’s total combined defense spending.

So it seems like since the US has been doing all the heavy lifting the NATO “allies” would say yes, we want to help. But that ignores the nature of our “allies”, and I use that term very loosely. Especially when compared to how Israel has been in there kicking butt before we were.

And the response from those “allies”?

Underwhelming to say the least.

Most NATO Members Won’t Join Iran Operation, Trump Says

British PM Starmer Refuses To Send Ships To Help Keep Open the Strait of Hormuz – Trump Warns NATO Allies: ‘We Will Remember’

France Explains They Can’t Help Open Strait Of Hormuz As They Already Sent All 15 Of Their Soldiers To Defend Greenland

Oh, okay, you got me. That last one is satire.

But to say the least, considering our contributions to NATO none of this was well received.

Trump Issues New Warning to NATO Allies Over Strait of Hormuz

Trump Issues Brutal Warning to Freeloading NATO Allies — Help Secure the Vital Strait of Hormuz or Face a “Very Bad” Future

After which apparently there was some re-evaluation of positions.

Why, the NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte (who betrays he own country often) issued a strongly worded statement! Strongly worded I say!!

NATO allies jointly discussing how to handle Strait of Hormuz closure, Rutte says

Rutte asks for Trump’s ‘understanding’ on NATO countries’ hesitancy on supporting Iran war

NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte on Sunday asked for President Trump’s “understanding” amid his frustrations with allied countries expressing hesitancy to provide support to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

I understand the president’s frustration that it takes some time, but again, I also ask for some understanding, because nations had to prepare for this, not knowing and for good reasons about the initial attack on Iran, but now coming together to make sure that we can be able to secure the Strait of Hormuz,” Rutte told host Margaret Brennan on CBS’s “Face the Nation.”

Maybe strongly worded for Euro-Arabians might be a better statement.

United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Japan, and Canada Will Now Join US to Keep the Strait of Hormuz Open

UAE Joins 21 Countries Pledging Support for Safe Passage in Strait of Hormuz

This probably has nothing to do with Iran sending missiles to the UAE.

I do understand Japan’s help is already on the way.

Help from Japan is on the way!

Although France & Italy seem to want to try something else. Duly noted.

FT Report: France and Italy Quietly Seek Deal With Iran to Safeguard Shipping Through Hormuz

In recent days, France and Italy have quietly opened diplomatic contacts with Iran in an attempt to secure safe passage for European commercial vessels through the strategic waterway.

The discussions, first reported by the Financial Times, underscore the growing concern among European governments that prolonged instability in the region could trigger severe economic consequences.

So, according to the oil flow chart, America doesn’t get the majority of their oil from the Strait of Hormuz, there are other countries far more impacted than U.S.

The US, Iran and NATO

I guess if we ever wondered how useful it would be to be a member of NATO if the chips were down, we now know the answer. Should we ever be invaded, ok, more invaded than under the last round of demoncrats we’re on our own. NATO is as useless as the UN. Hey, can anyone tell me the date that the UN issued it’s strong condemnation of Iran for sending cluster warhead missiles into Israel? Because that is a war crime, so I’m sure the UN is all over it, I just missed when they issued that condemnation.

Which brings me to the point of the book Daddy read to me as a little girl. This little video has a big message. No, it’s not long.

When Does It Becomes Incitement to Violence?

I think it’s been apparent for a long time to most people that Tucker Qatarlson and Kooky Candace Owens have continued their descent into mental instability. I’ve said before, Jew hatred rots the brain, but even I’m amazed at how publicly they are willing to display their mad dash from Jew hatred into full on insanity.

I’ve written about this before, but they decided to up the ante. They’ve decided to attack Chabad. For those not familiar with Chabad,

Chabad-Lubavitch is a major movement within mainstream Jewish tradition with its roots in the Chassidic movement of the 18th century. In Czarist and Communist Russia, the leaders of Chabad led the struggle for the survival of Torah Judaism, often facing imprisonment and relentless persecution for their activities. After the Holocaust, under the direction of Rabbi Yosef Yitzchaak Schneerson and his successor, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, of righteous memory, Chabad became a worldwide movement, caring for the spiritual and material needs of all Jews, wherever they could be found.

Today, over 3,500 Chabad institutions are located in more than 100 countries, with a new center opening on the average every ten days. In South Africa, South America, Russia, Australia, Asia, the UK, and many parts of the USA, Chabad has become the most dynamic and dominant force within the Jewish community.

Pretty sinister stuff, eh what?

I’ll do Kooky Candy first as she is echoing Tucker’s claims.

Candace on digging tunnels

“Remember they are digging tunnels in New York and in cities all across America. They are taking over entire towns in New Jersey.” She described Chabad as a “radical sect of mystic occultists” and urged followers to be aware of Chabad centers near them.

But Kooky Candy is willing to accuse any Jew of anything. No proof needed, she just makes stuff up and says tune in to her next episode and she’ll bring receipts. She just doesn’t tell you they’re from her last trip to McDonald’s.

Candace accuses PM Netanyahu

Candace Owens Goes Full Nutjob: Backs Tucker’s Chabad Conspiracy, Claims ‘Jews Tried to Murder Me’ in Unhinged Rant

“Calculated evil”: Candace Owens joins Tucker Carlson in a “clown-level” attack on Chabad-Lubavitch, peddling victimhood fantasies and “conspiratorial nonsense.”

Ok, this one actually makes me chuckle, I mean Israel is taking out Ayatollahs by the dozen before breakfast. Leaders of the IRGC are walking around disguised as women, and really with the Burkas Iran forces the women to wear it’s probably hard to tell except some of them are really really tall. Last year during and after Midnight Hammer Iranian nuclear scientists were dropping like houseflies. The Basij are now riding their motorcycles around Iran wearing jackets of construction workers, police stations, IRGC buildings and specific apartments in an apartment building are being taken out. And they can’t find Candace at Dollywood? She accuses Israel of killing a President of the US, John F. Kennedy and yet she has no fear of making such an outrageous accusation? She must think her followers are exceedingly stupid, or blind, as she is not the least bit worried about Israel targeting her.

Candace Owens claims Lubavitcher rebbe ‘hated non-Jews’

Responding furiously to Owens’ claims, Chabad spokesman Yaacov Behrman said she had displayed “utter ignorance in her idiotic, ad hominem attack” against Rabbi Schneerson.

“Israel Shahak was a discredited, self-loathing Jew – and the fact that she quotes him as if he’s some respected authority suggests that she has waded into waters that are far too deep for her,” he said.

I’m pretty sure the puddle behind my car is waters far deep for her to wade in as she lacks discernment as to where to search for information on a topic.

Fans of Lubavitcher Rebbe respond to Candace Owens’ criticism of him

By going after Schneerson, Owens prompted a response from Chabad itself. The movement and its emissaries chiefly sought to dispel her claim that Schneerson thought Jews were superior to non-Jews.

The Rebbe saw the importance of each individual, no matter how ordinary they might seem,” Chabad’s official X account wrote as part of a long thread on his life. “His door was open to all. The Rebbe dedicated hours daily to personally responding to letters from people worldwide.”

And as a devout Catholic, apparently Kooky Candy considers this sort of behavior, her duty. Except apparently some in the Catholic church don’t agree.

Why Candace Owens’ Jewish conspiracy theories violate Catholic teachings

Christian tradition has always held that those who speak publicly in the name of the faith bear a grave responsibility for the truth of their words. Speech that spreads false accusations, imputes corruption to entire peoples, or revives historic patterns of hatred does more than inflame political debate — it violates the moral law and damages Christian witness.

In a previous article, I argued that Candace Owens’ public rhetoric has reached a level of grave scandal that calls for ecclesial discipline, up to and including excommunication. This article addresses the substance of that concern.

.

With those principles established, we can now examine the specific patterns that appear in Owens’ public commentary. The purpose of examining these statements is not to condemn a person but to evaluate public rhetoric in light of Catholic moral teaching. Christians are called to judge ideas and words according to the truth, while leaving the ultimate judgment of souls to God.

The concern here is not a single controversial remark but a recurring pattern of rhetoric visible across Owens’ own public posts and broadcasts. Five types of claims appear repeatedly.

The writer then goes on to give examples and explain why they are against Catholic teachings.

But honestly, I’m not sure excommunication would phase her that much. She was denied entry into Jihadi loving Australia due to her Holocaust denial and that hasn’t phased her.

Australia bans Candace Owens from entering country due to antisemitism

“Australia’s national interest is best served when Candace Owens is somewhere else,” said Tony Burke, the Immigration Minister.

But Kooky Candy is feeding off and singing back up for Tucker Qatarlson and his demon.

So onto Tucker Qatarlson, a “C-C”1 or a C-C2. Feel free to choose.

Tucker Carlson Blames Chabad for Iran War, Claims Secret Plan to Rebuild Temple

Commentator Tucker Carlson triggered a storm this week after accusing the global Chabad-Lubavitch movement of secretly pushing for the destruction of the Islamic shrines on Jerusalem’s Temple Mount and the construction of a Third Jewish Temple. The remarks came as Israel remains locked in a widening confrontation with Iran and its regional proxies. Carlson, who commands a massive online audience, used his program to present the war as part of a Jewish religious agenda, claiming that Chabad has been quietly working to advance plans to remove the Dome of the Rock and the Al Aqsa Mosque in order to rebuild the Temple.

….

Chabad, headquartered in Crown Heights in Brooklyn, operates Jewish outreach centers in more than 100 countries and is widely known for its work encouraging Jewish practice. The movement is not a political organization and does not run campaigns related to Israeli military or government policy.

Carlson’s theory relied partly on images of Israeli soldiers wearing patches depicting a Temple. Those images in fact, came from social media posts connected to the Temple Institute, an advocacy group that promotes education about the Temple and preparation for its eventual restoration. The institute has no connection to Chabad.

Despite the lack of evidence, Carlson framed the current war as a “global religious war” allegedly triggered by Jewish ambitions regarding the Temple Mount. He also claimed that Christians die disproportionately in such conflicts, suggesting hidden motives behind Jewish support for Israel.

I don’t really want to give Tucker, the clicks, so if you haven’t seen the video I’ll give you this one with Ollie.

So, a few points. Sorry, but you can’t get the patches from Chabad. You can get them from High on The Har They have way cool patches, tee-shirts and other things. Reasonable prices and come from Israel as well! High on the Har donates them to soldiers, and you can make a donation to help give them to the soldiers. You can get them from The Israel Guys They have patches, baseball caps and the like. Another place you might be able to find them is The Temple Institute’s store. They aren’t shipping right now, but their website is fascinating. I’ve actually been to their store and just thought it was marvelous. But getting your “official Chabad Third Temple patch” is right out, sorry. Although maybe I should suggest it.

Actually, I think in a column well over a year or more ago I wrote about the patches. These columns from Arutz Sheva are from Oct 24 and March of 25. It’s interesting, soldiers that were sent into Gaza talked about the homes they were in searching for terrorists and all the homes had pictures of abomination on the Temple Mount known as The Dome of the Rock.. Muslims doing what muslims do, they build mollusks on top of defeated religious sites, or when possible, they buy a church or synagogue and turn in into a mollusk, they’ve taken over you see? They vanquished the infidel. It’s why they wanted to build an “Islamic Center” on the site of the 9/11 attacks. Who knows, with the muslim shia 12er mayor, it could still happen. The soldiers said they arabs knew what they were fighting for, it isn’t about land, it’s about religion.

Raising a storm: Chief of Staff rips ‘Moshiach’ patch off soldier’s arm

Official IDF photo shows ‘Moshiach patch’ on soldier’s helmet

But Ollie is correct, this does have very real impact.

Chabad on high alert after false Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens war claims

Chabad, a sect of Hasidic Judaism known for its global religious outreach and houses on hundreds of college campuses, does not function as a political advocacy organization. Its teachings describe the rebuilding of the Third Temple as part of a future messianic redemption achieved through acts of mitzvot — not a project to be advanced through modern warfare or the destruction of the Al-Aqsa Mosque.

To blame it on a Hasidic movement based in Brooklyn that just goes around the world, spreading Judaism, spreading love, spreading kindness, it’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard,” Yossi Farro, a member of the Chabad movement known for wrapping tefillin with celebrities, told the Forward in a phone interview. “He’s appealing to people that have never heard of Chabad and now, their first opinion is, this is horrible, these people are warmongers — which is the exact opposite of what we represent.”

….

The rhetoric also follows a series of attacks targeting Chabad celebrations. In December, a gunman opened fire at a Chabad Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia. The incident left 15 people dead, including a Chabad rabbi, a Holocaust survivor and a 10-year-old girl.

In January, a driver repeatedly rammed his car into an entrance to the Chabad-Lubavitch world headquarters in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, damaging the building on a night thousands had gathered there to celebrate.

After Tucker Smear, Chabad Surges Security, Donations – and Mitzvos

As a result of Carlson’s false claims, the Brooklyn Chabad rabbi has already ramped up security. “Carlson blames Chabad for the Iran war, then Owens posted ‘find out where your local Chabad is’ so the threat level is raised,” he said. “My first responsibility is to keep everyone safe. I had to ask police to be outside this past Shabbos. And now I’m going to have to get video cameras and an armed guard for Shabbos, which costs up to $500 per Shabbos.”

Chabad on high alert after false Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens war claims

Jewish institutions are on high alert after Tucker Carlson falsely claimed on his podcast Wednesday that the Chabad-Lubavitch movement is behind the war in Iran.

Carlson claimed that Chabad is orchestrating a religious war aimed at destroying the Al-Aqsa mosque and the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem’s Old City so that the Third Temple could be rebuilt in its place.

This has been going on a long time in public through, in part, the efforts of a group called Chabad. C-H-A-B-A-D,” Carlson said.

And, I would come to the same conclusion as my all time favorite Israeli government spokesman, Eylon Levy.

Candace & Tucker have goals and dreams

Not that long ago I mentioned in a column one of Candy’s mentally unstable followers was on his way to kill Jewish media personalities.

But this doesn’t just hold threats of physical violence in the immediate future, it has other threats.

From a recent Patrick Bet-David podcast. It will start at the correct section.

https://www.youtube.com/live/NBJjVU61huM?t=4904s

It starts out with a bit of Tucker history, but then it leads into where the Tucker threat for the future lies, and it’s not a very distant future, it’s happening now. And it’s the young that are buying it. This is the poll he mentions.

referenced poll

Adam I think is 100% correct, the loss of Charlie has cost our country and our youth much.

I think it’s well worth it to stick through the discussion on JD Vance.

You know, it’s fascinating really. This Third Temple business that seems to terrify Tucker. Since when did the loss of a muslim holy site so upset a C-C#1? Wouldn’t a Christian and Jewish sites be more important to him than a muslim one? And by the way, what’s up with that picture of Fatima next to him?

Now, I may be breaking a code of silence here, but I don’t think I am, I’m going to share with you a few sentences from a top secret book of Jewish mystical beliefs that so terrifies Tucker. I’m warning you, you read this at your own risk!

Yeshayahu (Isaiah) – Chapter 56

1 So says the Lord, “Keep justice and practice righteousness, for My salvation is near to come, and My benevolence to be revealed.”

2 Fortunate is the man who will do this and the person who will hold fast to it, he who keeps the Sabbath from profaning it and guards his hand from doing any evil.

3 Now let not the foreigner who joined the Lord, say, “The Lord will surely separate me from His people,” and let not the eunuch say, “Behold, I am a dry tree.”

4 For so says the Lord to the eunuchs who will keep My Sabbaths and will choose what I desire and hold fast to My covenant,

5″ I will give them in My house and in My walls a place and a name, better than sons and daughters; an everlasting name I will give him, which will not be discontinued.

6 And the foreigners who join with the Lord to serve Him and to love the name of the Lord, to be His servants, everyone who observes the Sabbath from profaning it and who holds fast to My covenant.

7 I will bring them to My holy mount, and I will cause them to rejoice in My house of prayer, their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be acceptable upon My altar, for My house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples.

8 So says the Lord God, Who gathers in the dispersed of Israel, I will yet gather others to him, together with his gathered ones.

9 All the beasts of the field, come to devour all the beasts in the forest.

10 His lookouts are all blind, they do not know, dumb dogs who cannot bark; they lie slumbering, loving to slumber.

11 And the dogs are of greedy disposition, they know not satiety; and they are shepherds who know not to understand; they all turned to their way, each one to his gain, every last one.

12 “Come, I will take wine, and let us guzzle old wine, and tomorrow shall be like this, [but] greater [and] much more.”

You would think as a C-C#1 Tucker would know about this and the Third Temple wouldn’t you? That he too, would long for Moshiach and the Third Temple. But he doesn’t because he is a C-C#2, and by their actions and words they have placed people in danger, so at what point does their hatred become incitement to violence, because I would think that we are there. Self defense is Biblical, absolutely.

And in case you need a dose of humor after all that, here’s Ami Kozak’s take on Tucker, his demon and the insane attack on Chabad. Six minutes worth, the end is great if you have to skip ahead.

I’m signing up for the evening tunnel digging shift, with a shovel. Not sure my accuracy with a pick ax is up to snuff.

Purim 2026

A Purim unlike any I have ever seen in my life.

The basic story of Purim can be found here, or I have other columns about Purim here.

The jist of the story is an evil man named Hamen, hated the Jews and due to his own arrogance was humiliated by Mordechai who refused to bow in front of him. So he decided to get his boss, King Ahasuerus to kill all the Jews in Persia. Modern day Iran, more or less. Everything was going swimmingly, a date to wipe everyone out was all set, invitations were sent out to all the people to wipe out all the Jews, men, women and children, the catering was arranged, Tucker, Megyn and Candace all contacted Hamen asking if they could help with making party favors. And then it just all came crashing down. Mordachi, the Jew who wouldn’t bow down to Hamen, was uncle to Esther. He’d raised her from a little girl after she lost her parents. And Esther, was the Queen. Of Persia. Wife of Ahasuerus. Mordachi suggested strongly to Esther she approach her husband and explain the problem. He was about to be a widower again, in a very short time. Killing your previous wife Vashti, causes that.

This presented problems for Esther as to approach the King, her husband without an invitation could lead to her demise, and him being a widower again in a very short time. Esther had the Jews of Shushan, where they lived fast, pray and do repentance for three days, then she would approach the king and her attitude was if I die, I die.

She approached the king and he held out his golden scepter. The next two days Esther made a wine feast for Hamen and the king as that had been her request when she approached the king. After the second feast on the second day she begged the king to save the life of her and her people. The king was very miffed at Hamen, he went for a walk in the garden and came back in time to see Hamen flinging himself onto the couch of Queen Esther. That was it, that was all she wrote, Hamen was toast, no jam, jelly or honey. He was hung on the gallows he had built to hang Mordechi. And boy did I leave a lot out of that synopsis. If I’d told you more details this meme would make perfect sense. Oh and by the by? I know Tucker is claiming that Mossad agents were captured in Qatar, Qatar has come out and said, not true. Much like Tucker’s “detainment” in Israel? It never happened. Qatar is going to regret hiring him as their propaganda agent. Tucker may regret it as well, there is a 5 year prison sentence for peddling false information in Qatar. They may even go for someone less controversial, like Candace. /sarcasm font.

Hamen Tucker and Mordechi Bibi

End of the story?? NO!! This is where it gets really good! While Hamen was dead, all the residents of Persia were set to murder all the Jews throughout Persia.

From the first link above

On that day, Haman’s estate was given to Esther, and Mordechai was appointed prime minister in Haman’s stead.

But Esther was far from satisfied. Haman was dead, but his evil decree was still in effect. According to Persian law, once a king issues a decree it can not be rescinded. But the king gave Mordechai and Esther permission, and they promptly wrote up a decree that countermanded Haman’s edict. The decree granted the Jews permission to defend themselves against their enemies. And by this time, considering that all knew that the queen and prime minister were both Jewish, no one would prevent the Jews from doing just that!

And the Jews in Shushan were oh so happy. Celebrations abounded!

On the 13th of Adar that year, the Jews throughout the Persian Empire mobilized and killed the enemies who had wanted to kill them. In Shushan, among the dead were Haman’s 10 sons.

Esther asked the king’s permission for the Jews in Shushan to have one more day to destroy their enemy—and the king acceded to her wish. On that day, the 14th of Adar, the Jews worldwide celebrated, and the Jews of Shushan killed more of their enemies, and also hung Haman’s sons. The Jews of Shushan then rested and celebrated on the 15th of Adar.

Esther gave concealed carry permits to all the Jews of Persia. I’d have said then she passed out fully automatic rifles and shotguns, but well, that wouldn’t be true. Sigh.

I wrote about the revolution that has begun in Iran, A Tale of Two Watermelons, but honestly by this time you probably know way more than that.

One of the big issues has been the Iranian people are basically defenseless. They have no weapons. They’ve done as President Trump said, they have gone out into the streets, only to be mowed down. Vice President Marie Antoinette Vance in a “Let them eat cake” moment said, Vance: If the Iranian people want to overthrow the regime, that’s up to them. Really? Interesting. And that’s part of what makes Suzanne Gratia Hupp’s testimony as important today as it was the day she spoke it.

The present day Persians, unlike the Jews of Persia in the Purim story, and unlike Americans have no Second Amendment, no means of defending themselves, no means of fighting back or overturning a brutal almost 50 year old Islamic regime. A fact that apparently escapes Vice President Marie Antoinette Vance. No matter how many tens of thousands of them have been slaughtered, that doesn’t seem to be doing the trick to bring about regime change, no matter how desperately they want it, and they do.

President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu have kept their promise to the captive Iranian people. More than 30,000 of them, though firm numbers are hard to get. The Islamic regime hasn’t given bodies back to families, has made them pay to get the bodies back, there are people in prison that are probably dead, but don’t know for sure. As I’ve mentioned, patients were hauled out of hospitals and murdered. So firm numbers? I’m not sure. But the American Operation Epic Fury and the Israeli Operation Roaring Lion are in full swing. And it is a thing of beauty. So much, so much.

Number one, we owe the Persians one. King Ahasuerus predecessor was King Cyrus, Cyrus the Great.

Darius’ successor is known in world history as Cyrus the Great, and Jewish history likewise considers him to be an extraordinary person, albeit for different reasons. Cyrus permitted the Jews to go to Jerusalem and rebuild the Bais Hamikdash; indeed, his famous proclamation to that effect is the very last verse of the Bible: “Thus said Cyrus, king of Persia: ‘Hashem, G‑d of Heaven, has given to me all the kingdoms of the earth, and he has commanded me to build Him a Temple in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Whoever there is among you of His entire people — may G‑d be with him, and let him go up’” (II Chronicles 36:23).

Since the Mamdani predecessors, Shia 12ers working with communists took over in 1979, thanks Jimmy Peanuts, the world has suffered from this evil Islamic regime. They have many evil branches, hamass, hezbollah, houteim, and they have perpetrated many terrorist attacks around the world, including on American troops and civilians. A fact many on the woke reich (right) and woke left (WR-WL) prefer to forget, don’t know, or worse, choose to ignore and hope their listeners don’t know any better relying upon the work of the teacher’s union.

There are many modern day miracles in play this Purim, so while this may not be in any chronological order, I find each of them to be amazing all in their own right.

Unlike what many on the WR-WL say, this is more of a rescue operation than it is an attack. Many blather about the war powers act, something that apparently wasn’t an issue when barry sotero was in office. I would refer them, believe it or not, to Sen. John Fetterman. In another clip he mentions “Because I’ve actually read the war powers act”. Fetterman, a continual amazement. Sometimes I think he, like Queen Esther, for such a time as this.

Now, about that fantastic Israeli intelligence he mentions in another clip, here is something juicy I ran across. It’s from the Wall Street Journal,

The Wall Street Journal reconstructed Operation Genesis.

For over 20 years, Unit 8200 tracked Khamenei’s daily routine, hacked Tehran traffic cameras, and used AI to sift intercepted calls.

They knew he went underground at night when he expected attacks.

So they struck at 9:40 a.m. on a Saturday morning while he was above ground with his family.

Blue Sparrow missiles launched from F-15s exited the atmosphere before crashing down, bypassing air defenses entirely.

Khamenei and six top officials were dead before Iran even knew the war had started.

By nightfall, thousands of Iranians were celebrating in the streets of Isfahan.

Keeping score?

Who’s in, who’s out

And it’s way higher than that now!!!

Israeli Strike Just Hit Another Meeting of the Iranian Supreme Council

Now, we’re getting reports that Israel has done it again, striking another meeting of the Iranian Supreme Council, which had gathered to appoint another Supreme Leader.

….

“I’m told by a senior Israeli official that the Israelis just struck the Supreme Council gathering, where the Iranians were meeting to choose a new Supreme Leader. This is a significant development, and again speaks to the Israeli intelligence about this war. They just targeted the meeting in Tehran where what’s left of the leadership was gathering to choose a new Supreme Leader,” Yingst said.

Ok we choose Ayatollah Fred… Boom!!! And Fred’s dead ok Charlie, congrats you’re the new supre…. BOOM… Oh sorry Charlie…. Ok the absolute supreme leader is Chris! Congrats on leading the charge to kill all those pesky protesters! You’re the new BOOM…. Lather rinse repeat

Ok, they maybe probably didn’t really say that, but I kind of think it may have happened a bit like that.

How Aly Hamen-i’s death was reported depended on your source of news. This is honestly from the Babylon Bee, but it’s still accurate.

a difference of view points

I did see an absolutely marvelous clip of some of the Basij, the IRGC militia? Volunteers? Thugs? Psychopaths? Anyway, they were riding their motorcycles around shooting the unarmed Iranians who were out in the streets celebrating being bombed and Ayatollah Aly Hamen-i, Hamen, Hamen-i, being killed. And out of nowhere a drone came and then there was a white flash and then the Basij killers were gone. I love a movie with a happy ending.

Which brings us to our next film clip. There are many elements in here, and the ones I want are back to back and it’s set to start at the relevant part.

https://www.youtube.com/live/QzmwQee6yVU?si=B30uPP_sghQhFsAg&t=927

First, the pictures from all over the world of Iranians dancing with joy that the Ayatollah is toast.

Second, the CBS reporter that is told not to film with the crowd as they are singing President Trump and Prime Minister Netayahu’s name and praises. He films anyway defying his boss. Isn’t CBS being sued for deceptive editing? Yes, I believe they are. Why they have viewers left, I’m not really sure.

Third, Vinny is saying Islam has been collapsing in Iran, 70% of Iranians have left Islam. 2/3rds of the mosques in Iran have closed due to low attendance. The whole relevant part is maybe only a couple of minutes long.

I think it makes a good case that Iran is basically an “occupied country”. Occupied by a terrorist regime that the people do not want. I thought leftists were against “occupation”. Oh? That’s only for Jews? I see. So the Iranian regime which has been yelling Death to America, the great Satan and Death to Israel, the little Satan and kills it’s own people and is trying to develop nuclear weapons and has killed and will kill more Americans is just “having a difference of opinion” with the west? I heard someone point out recently everyone is concerned, and rightly so, about Iran and a nuclear missile. But he asked how many sleeper cells in America since the Biden-Harris crime regime? Once Iran has developed nuclear material, how hard is it for them to sneak it into their American sleeper cell for a dirty bomb? How hard is it for them to fill a ship with it and sail the ship into NY harbor under a different country’s flag and set it off? All they need is to develop the nuclear material. Trump’s Top Middle East Negotiator Dropped a Bombshell About Iran and Its Nuke Program Last Night. And, guess what?

Let me say this, because I forgot this small little detail.

In that first meeting, both the Iranian negotiators said to us directly, with no shame, that they controlled 460 kilograms of 60% and they’re aware that that could make 11 nuclear bombs, and that was the beginning of their negotiating stance. So that’s – they were proud of it.

They were proud that they had evaded all sorts of oversight protocols to get to a place where they could deliver 11 nuclear bombs.

Something for that “imminent threat” crowd to chew on.

Next topic, these celebrations are world wide, the first part of this clip shows video from around the world and people are doing the “Trump Dance”. So many people, so grateful, so much hope. And I love it that many of the videos I’ve seen the Iranian Lion & Sun flag, the American Flag and the Israeli flag are all being waved with abandon, the people are all happy and celebrating. It’s certainly not like a leftist gathering where police are attacked, buildings are set on fire and riots break out. No, these are full of joy, celebration and hope for a free Iran, and they want to share their joy. Don’t forget, Iranians did come out in support for the Israelis after October 7th.

And Bibi gets his share of loving too, listen to the crowds in Iran chanting Bibi Joon Bibi Joon which means like Dear Bibi or loved Bibi. Yeah who that that on their Bingo card? Open love for Bibi Netanyahu being chanted in the streets of Tehran.

Also in the clip prior is the venomous, miserable, low life traitor Hanoi Jane Fonda, who is still a miserable, venomous, low life traitor. But Jane you miserable traitor, in addition to being a traitor to your country, you are also a traitor to women? What about women’s right? You insane broads on the left are supposed to be the ones defending women’s rights? What about the rights of the women of Iran to be able to walk in the streets without having to be accompanied by a man? To choose who or if they marry? To choose what to wear? Don’t forget Jane, “Female prisoners who are virgins must be raped before execution, to prevent them from entering heaven.” ~~Ayatollahs Khomeini and now Hamen-i. That’s all peachy with you? I never again want to hear some leftist loser woman wearing one of those stupid pink cat ear hats say they are the party that protects and stand up for women. They didn’t stand up for the victims of October 7th, they haven’t said one word about the >30-40,000 dead, missing and maimed Iranians. They don’t give a fig about women or their rights. Iranian women are flinging their hijabs off with joy even as stupid American women adopt them in some sort of perverted cos-play. It does give me great joy to tell you some of the pilots bombing the snot out of the evil Islamic regime, are women. And the Islamists really really hate that.

Who chooses submission, who chooses freedom?

Part of the reason for the instability in the Middle East, is due to the instability of the leadership of Iran. North Korea is unstable, and they have a nuclear weapon. But North Korea wants to survive. Iran is lead by Islamic Shia 12ers who believe the 12th Imam comes when the world has been converted to chaos and blood. Self preservation, in general, isn’t top of their list. They go to paradise and get 72 virgins. In the last day or so Iran has shown the world why the rest of the Muslim countries were scared of Iran. Did this have an influence on why many didn’t want to sign the Abraham accords? I dunno, and we will never know cause that moment has passed. But what’s happening now is Iran is firing missiles into Israel, of course, but also the muslim countries of Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain, Oman and fired at Greece. The Muslim countries not affected so far are France and Britain. The UAE has shot down a bunch of missiles and drones, Israel of course has been shooting down missiles and drones, but some got through on Saudi Arabia and they are not amused. In fact, Saudi Arabia is getting ready to join the fight. So who had on their Bingo card for 2026 that Saudi Arabia and Israel would be fighting on the same side in a war? You know what I haven’t heard? Remember when Israel targeted a hamass leader that was hiding out in Qatar and shot a missile into where he was supposed to be? Oh the outcry. Well, Iran is shooting at everyone. I’ve yet to hear the outcry.

I truly do not think this war will go on that long. President Trump has said maybe 4 weeks. I don’t know. But I do know no one is shipping food, electricity and water into the Ayatollahs and their evil minions. The war in Gaza could have been over long ago had it been fought like this. And it would have been far kinder. And unlike the unfinished war in Gaza, this one has to be finished.

Another reason I don’t think this will be another “forever war”? You know who in the area does have weapons, a hate on for the Iranian regime and are battle hardened warriors? A people I very much admire, especially the women, the Kurds!! I’ve written about them before, Peshmerga. And, guess what??

The Kurds Have Entered the Fight Against the Iranian Islamic Dictators.

The Kurds have entered the fight against Iran.

They have begun a ground incursion across the Iraqi border.

The Kurds have some of the bravest, well trained and determined female fighters in the Middle East.

The Kurdish population in Iran is estimated to be up to 15 million people.

They have been in talks with the Americans and they hate the current Iranian regime.

They say that their active participation against the radical Islamists that controlled Iran will inspire the majority of Iranians to rise up more and help pull down the regime.

From another source,

Iranian opposition sources report that the Israeli Air Force is attacking headquarters of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards in the city of Mariwan in the Iranian Kurdistan region in western Iran.

Reports of IDF strikes on Basij forces’ centers in the important Kurdish city of Saqqez in western Iran.

The Rematch of the Centuries: Why Esther Became Queen

When Saul fought the nation of Amalek he was commanded by the prophet Samuel to wipe them out completely, as is instructed in the Torah. But Saul left their king alive. For this action, Saul lost his kingship. Moreover, his misjudgment had repercussions long into the future. In the one night that Saul allowed King Agag to live, Agag sired a child. Generations later, Haman was born—a descendant of that very child.

The Megillah tells us that while Esther was held in the palace harem, Mordechai spent his days pacing in front of it. According to our sages, he was trying to understand for what purpose a completely righteous woman like Esther—a woman who had actually hidden from the king’s search for a new queen, a woman who, according to some opinions, was actually his own wife—would be chosen to be married against her will to a drunken despot. He knew it could not be chance. Some greater destiny must await her.

When Mordechai spoke to Esther, he finally had his answer: Esther was placed there to right this ancient wrong. Yes, the Jews would not, could not, ever be annihilated. But King Saul was still accountable in the heavenly court for his error. How could he ever undo what had been done?

He would have to wait 500 years. He would have to wait until his descendant would meet a descendent of Agag’s, and, this time, do the right thing.

Better to do the right thing the first time. Who but G-d? אין עוד מלבדו

There is no other but him.

Happy Purim
