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 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.
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
חג פורים שמח
