Purim 2026

March 4, 2026 Sheila Stokes 2 Comments

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.

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?

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.

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 7^th.

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.

https://www.instagram.com/reel/DVWknI_AjHa/

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 7^th, 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 12^th 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

A Tale of Two Watermelons

January 12, 2026 Sheila Stokes 7 Comments

As I’m watching Iran go up in flames as protesters risk their lives and that of their family to escape the hell of Islamic rule, you wonder how did a country that looked like this in the 1970s.

Become a country that looks like this

Iranians are Persian, not Arabic. Their original religion was not Islam. Prior to the 1979 Islamic Revolution, Zoroastrianism was the ancient religion of Iran and was also the dominant pre-Islamic religious tradition of the Iranian peoples. Pre-1979 Iran, the Iranian people and the Israeli people had a warm relationship. In fact the two countries had joint trade and projects. Next to Israel, the largest number of Jews were living safely in Iran.

Iran today is suffering a water shortage, apparently when your government is more concerned about reconstructing it’s nuclear program rather than dealing with infrastructure little trifles like water don’t count for much. Satellite Imagery Shows Tehran’s Accelerating Water Crisis

Iran has a terrible record for treatment of women, in 2022 a Kurdish Iranian woman named Mahsa Amini was grabbed beaten and tortured to death by the Iranian morality police. Her death resulted in protests with 500 killed and 22,000 detained. More recently Iranian teen Armita Geravand was hospitalized due to the morality police, and an activist named Narges Mohammadi was held in Evian prison. But hey! The UN gave the late Amini an award. Oh, no, they didn’t actually do anything, they just gave the murdered woman an award. The islamic regime in Iran has shot and murdered 22 year old Saghar Etemadi. Some things don’t change.

So how did Iran go from the first video of lovely young women in swimsuits, in dresses out shopping and dancing to being brutally murdered for not wearing their headscarf correctly?

There are apparently some Western, possibly misconceptions. This is a clip of Patrick Bet-David, family from Iran, and he’s explaining to comedian Rob Schneider about life under the Shah for the people of Iran and the rest of the middle east. The clip is only a day or so old and is set to start at the relevant part.

The jist of it is what Savak really was, basically the Iranian CIA, or MI6. Yes, Savak did use to torture, but as the Shah said in his 60 minutes interview that yes, Savak did used to torture, and no, they do not operate that way any longer. But part of the Shah’s downfall was listening to Jimmy Peanuts who told him to release 3000 political prisoners. Those prisoners were ISIS, Al-Queda, Hezbollah and most assuredly it was a horrible thing turning those people lose on the innocent citizens. Apparently the Demoncratic party love of terrorists and criminals goes back many years. PBD points out the region was much more stable, there were not the wars in the middle east all the time and 9/11 would never have happened. It’s interesting listening to Rob Schneider explain to Iranian PBD how things should be. Really listen at the 20:59 if you listen.

Interesting note, part of the people the Savak was trying to suppress were the communist agitators. You know, the communists who destabilize governments everywhere they are? Like Islamists, wherever they are, the choke out and kill everything else. So, the Iranian government, not being insane didn’t want their country destabilized and rode herd on them. The west having it’s share of communist supporters, didn’t frame it quite this way though. Understandable really, who wants to end up like Minnesota?

Things were better under the Shah? It certainly sounds that way from people that are from Iran.

So why would the people vote, for a change from the Shah? In Iran back then it was a constitutional monarchy, with the oldest constitution in the area I believe, so people did vote for the change from the Shah.

Well, I’m so glad you asked.

The revolution was driven by an alliance formed between Islamists and the radical left in Iran. They shared anti-imperialist sentiment against the Shah’s U.S.-backed regime. This evil coalition was made up of secular liberals, nationalists, communists, and Islamist-Marxists, who were united by their opposition to the Shah. Leftist Iranians, influenced by revolutionary communist theories, allied with the Islamic clerical establishment, which possessed an extensive network in mosques and influence over the populace, to gin-up the uprising. So the communist part told everyone they were being oppressed and if they were elected they would have free ________ you choose, the Islamists appealed to the religious aspects, not sure how up front they were with what Sharia really would mean. But they made a lot of promises, and the people believed them, and they have paid very dearly for that.

The Ayatoilet, as Mahyar Tousi calls them.

And, if you’d like a quick primer on other countries that have fallen to Islam, this is the original cultural clothing of women in those countries. Before and after.

https://x.com/AfgZoroastrian/status/2009269160354763202

And following the collapse of the Shah’s rule, Khomeini, return from exile and established a multi-party provisional government. The Islamic Republic then violently suppressed internal dissent and its own partners in the insurrection, including secular liberals, communists, and members of reformist Islamic groups. The communists were dissolved, and their activists were arrested, jailed, and killed. Many political opponents, including communists, socialists, and moderate Islamists, were targeted in massacres following the revolution. So much for further use of the useful idiots.

Color me shocked. As in every other place Islam moves in, it drives everything else out, or they convert.

Right now the good people of Iran are fighting and dying to try to get rid of the evil Islamic regime. The regime has cut all internet, the only way the people are getting the videos of the attacks out is Elon Musk’s Starlink. G-d bless Elon, again. How is the lamestream media covering it, we are in day 17? Well, BBC isn’t really. BBC’s Shameful Coverage

There is growing outrage over the BBC’s coverage of protests in Iran after a blundering report was aired on its flagship News At Ten programme.

Viewers hit out at embarrassing editing errors and the tone of the report, which aired a lengthy statement from the country’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

The BBC was already under scrutiny over allegations it was not giving the nationwide protests enough coverage, after thousands of Iranians took to the streets for the 13th day in a row on Friday.

Is This Why the Media Isn’t Covering the Iran Protests?

The Western liberal media is ignoring the Iranian uprising because explaining it would force an admission it is desperate to avoid: the Iranian people are rebelling against Islam itself, and that fact shatters the moral framework through which these institutions understand the world.

Ideally, to cover an uprising is not just to show crowds and slogans. It requires answering a basic question: why are people risking death? In Iran, the answer is simple and unavoidable. The people are rising up because the Islamic Republic of Iran has spent decades suffocating every aspect of life—speech, work, family, art, women, and economic survival—under a clerical system that treats liberty as a crime. There is no way to tell that story without confronting the nature of the regime.

Western media refuses to do so because it has fundamentally misunderstood Islam. Or worse, it has chosen not to understand it.

Islam, in Western progressive discourse, has been racialized. It is treated not as a belief system or a political ideology, but as a stand-in for race or ethnicity. Criticizing Islam is framed as an attack on “brown people,” Arabs, or “the Middle East,” as if Islam were a skin color rather than a doctrine.

Meanwhile GB news is platforming a terrorist and Dawn Neesom is not telling viewers who the person is. Much like Tucker Qatarlson platforming the nun with the mustache that is George Stephaglaopogas’s sister.

Here Mahyar talks about GB News asking him for help, and the MEK terrorist Dawn Neesom ended up interviewing and his thoughts about the dishonesty. It’s set to start at the relevant part. The whole thing is good and is an update as well. Mahyar is a good resource for news in general, but especially Iran. His Dad is still trapped there.

https://www.youtube.com/live/bKDcwxH44Nk?si=3rc76grWzsJoqwRe&t=373

These Twitter clips are well worth listening to.

Iranian Elica LeBon is asking where are the human rights activists? And she answers it I suspect.

Iranian Goldie Ghamari explains what is going on in Iran, not filtered by BBC or CNN

Today there was a terrorist attack in L.A. It was perpetrated by MEK, Mojahedin-e-Khalq. MEK is a radical communist organization, and they are using lobbyists in US to convince Republicans that MEK is an alternative to the Islamic regime in Iran. It is not. MEK, as you will recall is the group that Dawn Neesom platformed on GB News without telling viewers that the person was from a terrorist group, which is why Mahyar Tousi called them out. MEK was responsible for the death of U.S. military officers and contractors in Iran between 1973 and 1976. They are a Marxist and Islamist cult that is rejected inside Iran. Again, they murdered American soldiers, celebrated the 9/11 Islamic terrorist attacks on New York City, and are longtime allies of the PLO Islamic terrorist organization, among having involvement in other atrocities. Until a decade ago, MEK was designated as a terrorist group in the US and Canada. Their terror designation was removed by Hillary Clinton under Barak Hussein Obama.

It’s possible today they added to their death tally. They drove a U-haul, a big one, into a peaceful rally of Iranians and their supporters who were rallying for Reza Pahlavi, son of the last Shah to return to Iran. The terrorist just drove through the rally and mowed them down. I’m not crazy about the narrator of the video, but this one has the two clips together in one. The one of him driving through and the one of the people trying to get him out of the cab and the police protecting him. Sadly.

President Trump has said he will intervene if Iran “starts shooting at the protesters.” Well, there are estimates of 2,000-6,000 dead. The regime is showing up at hospitals and dragging out everyone with a gunshot wound. Some they are just killing there and the regime have taken control of all the hospitals I believe in Tehran. So, I’m not really sure what President Trump considers “starts shooting”. These brave people have been out rallying every night now, risking everything for freedom. And had President Trump let Israel finish the job last year, there would be 6,000 Iranians still alive. Like Michelle Bachman said in a clip in an article or two ago, America never lets Israel win. This time it cost the Iranians as well, very dearly.

A brave Iranian raises the Lion and Sun Iranian flag, not the Islamic republic.

A watermelon, Hamass/terrorist green on the outside, Communist red on the inside. Truly and unholy alliance. Iran is one country destroyed by the green-red alliance, who is the other watermelon? Why, it’s New York City!

Mamdani campaigned as a Shia 12er Islamic Muslim, same as Iran. He’s a proud Communist. He told you what he was. And like all Muslims who practice Taqiyya, he lied about some things.

While the Qur’an is against believers deceiving other believers—for “surely God guides not him who is prodigal and a liar”—deception directed at non-Muslims, generally known in Arabic as taqiyya, also has Qur’anic support and falls within the legal category of things that are permissible for Muslims.

So, what has NYC’s newly elected little Jihadi done so far to advance his watermelon status? He is the product of a Hollyweird film maker mother, and a college professor father. Mamdani’s father sits on council of anti-Israel group tied to terror, legitimizes role of suicide bombers. Probably explains Zoran’s chants of “Globalize the Intifada”. Eh what? So all this was known before the elections. And how has he started out his reign?

Well, on day one he canceled all the previous Mayor Eric Adams Executive orders. Including

On First Day in Office, New York City Mayor Mamdani Revokes IHRA Antisemitism Definition

In one of his first acts in office after being inaugurated on Thursday, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani revoked the city’s adoption of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) Working Definition of Antisemitism.

The decision overturned an executive order signed in June by then-Mayor Eric Adams, which had aligned New York City with the global standard used to identify and confront contemporary antisemitism.

City Hall confirmed that Mamdani rescinded all executive orders issued by Adams after September 26, 2024. The rollback took effect immediately.

Among the nullified orders was a separate directive signed by Adams barring city officials from engaging in actions that discriminate against Israel or Israeli entities.

And the fruit of his attitude is already on the vine. From January 8^th of this year.

Activists protested outside a synagogue, chanting, “Say it loud, say it clear, we support Hamas here.”

He has appointed a criminal to be a criminal justice advisor. Zohran Mamdani Appoints Ex-Con Rapper Who Served 7 Years for Armed Robbery as Criminal Justice Adviser

New York City’s incoming mayor has made a choice that’s got people talking—and not in a good way. Zohran Mamdani’s picked Mysonne Linen, a rapper who did seven years in prison for armed robbery, to advise him on criminal justice. The appointment is raising eyebrows across the city.

The decision to elevate a figure convicted of violently targeting taxi drivers stands in stark contrast to Mamdani’s campaign rhetoric, which frequently championed cabbies as the city’s ‘unsung heroes’ and central to his working-class coalition.

Mamdani taps controversial lawyer who defended al Qaeda terrorist for top role: ‘Powerful advocate’

Socialist New York Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani announced on Tuesday that he is appointing controversial lawyer Ramzi Kassem, who defended al Qaeda terrorist Ahmed al-Darbi in court, as the city’s top attorney.

Mamdani, who will take office on Jan. 1, announced he was appointing Kassem as New York City’s chief counsel, the top legal role in the city. He also shared that he is appointing Steven Banks a self-proclaimed “social justice attorney” as corporation counsel and Helen Arteaga as deputy mayor for health and human services.

His housing director is an un-hinged Communist.

Mamdani’s Commie Housing Official Is a Lunatic

If Cea Weaver did not exist, one would be hard-pressed to invent her. Weaver seems to have been designed in a laboratory to work in the Ideological Compliance Department of the East German Kommunale Wohnungsverwaltung, but, as the result of an unfortunate accident with a time machine, ended up overseeing housing policy in the most important city in the United States. She believes that “rent control is a perfect solution to everything” — not least because it is an “effective way to shrink the value of real estate.” She considers that “private property is a weapon of white supremacy,” she believes that “homeownership is racist,” and she holds that the highest aim of government ought to be to “impoverish the *white* middle class.” And they say that ambition is dead in America!

Here’s How Much Commie Mamdani’s ‘Affordable’ Government Housing Will Cost You

What does Weaver mean we have to pay for something that’s a right?

“If your income is zero,” Weaver continued, “you pay zero. If your income is $500,000 a year, you’re paying 30 percent of that. And the government is…the sort of owner or not even the owner. The government doesn’t have to be the owner, but the government is what’s making sure all of that sort of works and cash flows.”

She also admitted something without knowing she admitted it: the “collective” won’t own anything. The government will. That’s what they mean by the “warmth of collectivism”: AWFLs like Weaver will decide where and how you live, and take all of your money for it.

Mayor Mamdani’s Nightmare Start

Mamdani’s inaugural address, which sounded like a ChatGPT rewrite of the Communist Manifesto, was even more ghastly. “I was elected as a Democratic Socialist and I will govern as a Democratic Socialist,” he declared, promising to start an “era of big government” and to govern “expansively and audaciously.”

By far the most controversial line was his pledge to “replace the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism.” Perhaps nothing else he has said so completely captures just how dangerous, ignorant, and deeply un-American Mamdani and his political ideology are. Rugged individualism is the beating heart of the American spirit. It fueled the first settlers to forge a new nation from wilderness, spurred on the Founding Fathers to craft a cradle of liberty from tyranny, and has sustained every generation of American patriots since.

The record of collectivism, meanwhile, is one of scarcity, pain, and despair. According to the best estimates, “collectivism” (also known as communism) killed 100 million people in the 20th century alone. That Mayor Mamdani doesn’t know this – or perhaps just doesn’t care – should be terrifying.

I would say many New Yorkers are in for a big shock. Why I don’t know. Many people tried to warn them, but the media and the Demoncrats/Communists just spun and lied and lacking sense, they voted him in. So looking at how the Shia 12er + Communism has turned out for Iran, our first watermelon I can’t help but think about all those proud blue hairs, transgender, and queer and proud marches for Zoran. Lots and lots of tall buildings in NYC. Voting….consequences….

I ran across this music video, yeah, that’s what happened, I just randomly ran across this…anyway, one of the guitarists was born in Iran and escaped to Israel, wrote a song about his dream to listen to Bob Dylan on the radio. I will warn you, this is pretty graphic. It’s from an old band called The Good Life.

Pray for Iran.

I have truly been astonished at the reactions of some people since the joint American and Israeli effort to make the world a safer place. Iranian proxies have been attacking Israel for years now, and since October 7^th it’s been something most countries will never go through. Iranian proxies have been lobbing missiles into Israel almost non-stop. Everyone has apps on their phone, and I’m sure some will have a horrible time recovering from trembling every time they hear a siren. I pray we never have to live like that here. In Israel you want to be able to get to a safe room in about 15 seconds. While Israel has been targeting nuclear bases, precision eliminating top Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corp members and nuclear scientists, Iran has been shooting their missiles at residential areas, and a hospital in Be’er Sheva (Soroka) that treated many of the falestinians. I have no clue why they do, but they do. Arabs are Jews worked there side by side for years, so the Iranian nutters shot a missile into it. Then apparently realizing that might be an “oopsie” they put out some kind of star wars graphic out saying there were tanks stored in it. Well, yeah, but in a hospital it’s tanks of medical gases, oxygen, nitrogen, nitrous oxide…however that’s not what their star wars graphic showed. And, there are nutters that believed them. Not because it makes sense, but because they hate Jews. And they can rationalize any barbarity exhibited towards the Jews. Nutter Candace Owens has apparently gone completely around the bend. A friend of mine saw a video or a X post, something like that where she claimed the IDF is killing poor falestinian children when they come out looking for food. Apparently her ignorance level remains high as ever. But my friend commented what was even more disheartening was the amount of comments that supported her and agreed with her. If Jews are running the world, we need to do a much better job with our PR game. But to be fair, the media is as biased against Jews as it is Donald Trump. We need to find out which Jews control the media and have a gentle word. But Candace doesn’t know what she thinks. Short one minute clip.

Marjorie Taylor Greene has decided to expose the inadequacy of the educational system. She stated

“I don’t know anyone in America who has been the victim of a crime or killed by Iran, but I know many people who have been victims of crime committed by criminal illegal aliens or MURDERED by Cartel and Chinese fentanyl/drugs.”

Well,,,,,hmm, bless her little heart. Let me help you Marjorie…you ignorant twit because I’m quite sure there are many American families that were shocked to find out they don’t have missing/dead family members due to Iran. Because there most assuredly has been Iranian aggression towards America, going way back. It’s nice to know Marjorie remembers their sacrifice with such dignity. I’m surprised she didn’t check her watch when she made the comment ala Joe Biden when the service men he killed returned from Afghanistan. Here’s a helpful list. Iranian and Iranian-Backed Attacks Against Americans (1979-Present)

November 1979-January 1981: Iranian students — with the backing of Tehran — take 66 Americans hostage at the U.S. Embassy in Tehran.

April 1983: A suicide car bombing kills 63 people, including 17 Americans, at the U.S. Embassy in Beirut. The Iran-backed terrorist group Islamic Jihad, a precursor and early branch of Hezbollah (not to be confused with Palestinian Islamic Jihad), claims responsibility.

October 1983: Operatives of the Iran-backed Hezbollah drive a truck bomb at a Marine compound in Beirut, killing 220 U.S. Marines and 21 other service personnel.

December 1983: Hezbollah operatives drive an explosives-filled dump truck through the gates of the U.S. Embassy in Kuwait City. No Americans are harmed.

March 1984: Terrorists kidnap CIA station chief William Buckley in Beirut, subsequently torturing and ultimately killing him in 1985. Islamic Jihad claims responsibility.

December 1984: Hezbollah terrorists hijack Kuwait Airways Flight 221 on its way from Kuwait to Pakistan and divert it to Tehran, killing two American officials from the U.S. Agency for International Development.

June 1985: Hezbollah terrorists hijack TWA Flight 847 en route from Athens to Rome and kill a U.S. Navy diver.

July 1989: Hezbollah operatives kill U.S. Marine Corps Col. William Higgins after kidnapping him the previous year while on a United Nations peacekeeping mission in southern Lebanon.

April 1995: An explosives-laden van crashes into a bus near Kfar Darom in the Gaza Strip, killing one American and seven Israelis. Palestinian Islamic Jihad claims responsibility.

August 1995: A Hamas suicide bomber blows up a bus in the Ramat Eshkol neighborhood of Jerusalem, killing an American and three other passengers and wounding more than 100.

February 1996: A Hamas suicide bomber blows up a Jerusalem bus, killing three Americans and wounding three other Americans. A total of 26 people die in the attack.

March 1996: A suicide bomber blows up the Dizengoff shopping center in Tel Aviv, wounding two Americans. Twenty people die and 75 others are injured in the attack. Both Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad claim responsibility.

May 1996: Gunmen kill an American-Israeli dual citizen in the community of Beit El in the West Bank. Another U.S. citizen and three Israelis are wounded. No group claims responsibility, but Israel suspects Hamas or Palestinian Islamic Jihad.

June 1996: A truck carrying 5,000 pounds of explosives blows up the Khobar Towers, a U.S. Air Force housing complex in the Saudi Arabian town of Khobar. Nineteen Americans die and some 500 people are injured. The Iran-backed Hezbollah Al Hijaz, a terrorist group in Saudi Arabia, is deemed responsible.

September 1997: Three Hamas suicide bombers blow themselves up at the Ben Yehuda shopping mall in Jerusalem, killing a U.S.-Israeli dual citizen and wounding seven other American citizens. Four other people die and nearly 200 are wounded in the attack.

August 1998: With the assistance of Hezbollah, al Qaeda suicide bombers almost simultaneously blow up the U.S. Embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, killing 224 people, including 12 Americans, and wounding thousands. According to the 9/11 Commission Report, al Qaeda developed “the tactical expertise for such attacks months earlier, when some of its operatives — top military committee members and several operatives who were involved with the Kenya cell among them — were sent to Hezbollah training camps in Lebanon.”

August 2001: A Hamas suicide bomber blows up the Sbarro pizzeria in Jerusalem, killing a U.S.-Israeli dual citizen and two other Americans. A total of 15 people die in the attack.

September 11, 2001: While the 9/11 Commission Report concludes that Iran had no foreknowledge of al Qaeda’s attacks on the World Trade Center, the report indicates that Tehran facilitated the travel of some of the terrorists. “In sum,” the report notes, “there is strong evidence that Iran facilitated the transit of al Qaeda members into and out of Afghanistan before 9/11, and that some of these were future 9/11 hijackers.”

January 2002: Gunmen affiliated with the Iran-backed al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigade kill a U.S.-Israel dual citizen and wound another individual in the West Bank community of Beit Sahur.

July 2002: A bomb planted by a Hamas terrorist kills five Americans at Jerusalem’s Hebrew University, killing five American students, including an American-Israeli dual citizen and an American-French dual citizen. A total of nine people died in the attack.

October 2003: Terrorists from the Iran-backed Popular Resistance Committees kill three U.S. diplomatic personnel in a bombing in Gaza.

2003-2011: Iranian-backed militias kill at least 603 U.S. troops in Iraq, according to the Pentagon. Iranian training and material support for Iraqi militias during the surge greatly increased the difficulty of U.S. forces to combat the insurgency and included some of the deadliest weapons used against American troops, including explosively formed penetrators (EFPs) and improvised explosive devices (IEDs).

August 2003: A Hamas suicide bomber blows up a bus in Jerusalem, killing five Americans and wounding one other American. A total of 24 people died in the attack.

August 2006: Hezbollah fighters kill American citizen Michael Levin, a soldier in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), during the Second Lebanon War. He is the only American to die in the conflict.

January 2007: Twelve men affiliated with the Quds Force of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) disguised themselves as U.S. soldiers, entered the Provincial Joint Coordination Center in the Iraqi city of Karbala, killed five U.S. soldiers, and wounded another three. In 2019, the U.S. State Department issued a $15 million bounty for information on an IRGC Quds Force commander who planned the attack and other “assassinations of coalition forces in Iraq.”

July 2014: Hamas terrorists kill two Americans serving in the IDF during fighting between the terrorist group and Israel in Gaza as part of Operation Protective Edge.

November 2022: A captain in Iran’s IRGC orchestrates the killing of an American citizen living in Baghdad who worked at an English language institute.

March 2023: An Iranian drone kills an American contractor and wounds five service members and another contractor when it strikes a coalition base near the Syrian city of Hasakah.

June 2025: At least three U.S. bases in Syria and two U.S. bases in Iraq are attacked with missiles or drones, likely by Iranian-backed militias.

As well, maybe someone should explain to Marjorie what the word “proxy” means. Bless her little heart.

So we’re seeing people that at least initially were fine with supporting Ukraine, come unglued that less than a dozen, I’m guessing airplanes and some massive bombs were used to eliminate a threat that the President made clear in his first term he viewed as a big danger. Not the first time America has attempted to help people resist an evil regime by dropping things from the air. Although I will grant the bombs the B2s dropped aren’t the same as the FP-45 Liberator Pistols. Barry Soteros’ strategy for dealing with it by giving them pallets of money to distribute among their terrorist proxies didn’t seem to work, so apparently this President decided to try something different.

So people on the left like the Occasional Cortex and people on the right, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Candace Owens, also Occasional Cortexs and Tucker Carlson are very upset we helped an ally in the middle east. Fascinating. Of course, Qatar did sort of help Tucker out, like they did Steve Witkoff, but I’m sure the money makes no difference. I mean just because Qatar is where the leaders of hamass hid out when the pressure got too hot in Gaza after October 7^th, and just because Qatar sends money to centers of higher learning, that may or may not have a distinct Jew hatred problem now, that’s probably unrelated as well.

A Washington Examiner investigation found that U.S. journalists often published pro-Qatar content shortly after targeted lobbying efforts. One major success was Tucker Carlson’s interview with Qatar’s Prime Minister, which drew over six million views within hours. A new FARA filing reveals Qatar paid to facilitate the interview and provided pre-approved talking points on Iran. The PR campaign was run by Lumen8 Advisors, a U.S. firm paid $180,000 monthly by the Qatari Embassy for strategic consulting. The contract requires 13 days of work per month, mostly in Doha, and bars the firm from working with other Middle Eastern or North African governments without Qatar’s approval.

So people on the left and the right have finally found common ground, it’s fine for the Islamic regime to try to destroy the Jewish state the size of New Jersey and to threaten America.

Is anyone besides Israelis happy about the IDF taking out nuclear scientists and IRGC, and Basji thugs? Surprisingly yes.

An alliance that people might not expect is taking place. It’s an alliance between the Iranian people and the Jewish state. There was a rally in speech suppressed England over the weekend. They tried to hold a rally a few days before, but the IRGC thugs in England came and attacked many of the rally goers. Seven were arrested. One rally goer was sent to a major trauma center. Do you remember for about 5 minutes after October 7^th, there were rallies in support of Jews and of Israel. Till the very well funded anti-Israel, anti-Jew groups sprang into action? Well, who marched along side in many of these Jewish rallies? Iranians. Holding the Iranian flag marched with the Jews holding the Israeli flag. So the group held another rally, with even more people despite being attacked violently only a few days before. This time it’s the Jewish community showing up to show love and support to the Iranian people.

I’ve got it set to start at the relevant point, truly inspiring.

The Iranian people who have lived under a more democratic form of government are not like the Iraqis that had never lived that way. I understand Reza Pahlavi is planning with others to return to Iran to help set up a temporary transitional government until the people can vote on what they want. But the Iranian people will have to rise up and do it from the ground up. Not a CIA lead regime change, but the Iranian people, the majority of which are not Islamic and don’t want to live under Islam. They want to be normal again. The Israelis have destroyed as much of the power structure of Iran as possible before President Trump declared a ceasefire. What that ceasefire will do to the chances of the Iranian people to overthrow the Islamic regime I don’t know. What I do suspect is President Trump doesn’t understand “ceasefire” is arabic for we’re rearming, regrouping and getting our proxies ready to take over for us for a bit. Then, business as usual. But that too will be up to the Iranian people. But as long as the Islamic regime remains in place, this will happen again. They are 12ers. And to bring back their 12th Imam, all the Jews have to be dead, world wide. Christians may convert or die. Either way, the world has to be drenched in blood. And I’m not sure how you make “peace” with that.

So now there is this fascinating alliance between the red, green and white flag of Iran with the blue and white flag of Israel.

Sara Netanyahu and I guess Bibi as well posted this beautiful graphic of the two lions watching the sun come up on better days.

Two lions watching for better days to come

Why wouldn’t the people of Iran want to go back to what life was like in the 1970s before Jimmy Peanuts aligned with the Islamic “men of god”, little g?

May their fight for freedom be blessed.
