Ayatollah Khomeini declared that “Islam proclaims monarchy and hereditary succession wrong and invalid..” This was the justification for toppling the Shah. Yet with Mojtaba Khamenei now succeeding his father as Supreme Leader, the Islamic Republic has de facto established a new dynasty. Interesting, no?
Rooney says that standing up for Palestine is part of a bigger fight against tech, finance, and the fossil fuel industry who threaten our existence.
Totally incoherent gibberish. People have lost the ability to think and speak.
We’ve seen it all now. What any honest person would call an IED, the New York Times calls “smoking jars of metal and fuses.”
I actually never suspected terrorist attacks, perpetrated by muslims, would eventually themselves be framed as examples of islamophobia, and that’s on me
The most shocking revelation of the covid pandemic for me was the realization that the governor of my state has the power to declare himself a dictator based on any public health pretext, to suspend everyone's natural and Constitutional rights indefinitely, and to coerce anyone to inject anything he thinks beneficial for "public health." Such a state is not compatible with a free republic. It is essential that these unlimited police powers are constrained. I support this resolution and I encourage others to read and consider.
Wow. Still pisses me off that so many leagues, companies, “leaders” forced this experimental shot on us. Damn them forever.
This is so silly. The idea that an Iranian warship - hours away if ordered, from being part of naval operations against a wartime enemy - is some sort of innocent floating pleasure palace is bonkers. In WW2 Britain sank the Graf Spee, 11,000km from the English Channel. Grow up
You shouldn't have let the theater kids design it.
Gavin is truly a Shakespearean figure. "a tale told by an idiot. [check his SAT!] Full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."
We’re so excited to celebrate America’s 250th birthday with Japan’s gift of 250 additional cherry trees!
Keep an eye on our accounts as we celebrate both the 1912 gift and the 2026 gift of cherry blossoms throughout the festival season!
Together we bloom!🌸

R to @tlowdon: The @AmerAcadPeds even thought it would be a great idea to invite HHS's Rachel Levine to give the keynote speech at its annual conference in 2024. Anyone who places great confidence in the AAP is suspect.

COVID hysteric @JReinerMD touts a poll of people who have great confidence in the American Academy of Pediatrics. While the AAP has a pleasant sounding name, it's irredeemably politicized & pharma-owned & was a big advocate for trans surgery for minors, COVID vaxx for babies & masking 2-yr olds.
“If you think James Talarico is going to become the senator from Texas without a thorough proctological exam of everything he's ever said, written and done, you are wrong,” says @MarkHalperin. “And you don't need to be the best opposition researcher in the history of opposition research to start looking at this guy.” Talarico’s recent controversial remarks on social media are “the tip of the iceberg of what you're going to see about this guy.” #JamesTalarico #texasprimary @2waytvapp

It would be hard to find a better analog for the parable of the scorpion and the frog than this interaction between Iran and Azerbaijan.

🚨 SECURITY ALERT TEXAS 🚨
TO TEXAS OFFICIALS: HAS ANYONE INVESTIGATED WHAT YOUR LOCAL PTI NETWORKS ARE SAYING?
Members of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) in Pakistan’s National Assembly were recently caught chanting “Death to America,” openly expressing solidarity with Iran amid escalating regional tensions.
This was were elected officials inside Pakistan’s parliament. The demonstration reflected major political factions in Pakistan publicly aligning themselves with Iran’s position and directing explicit hostility toward the United States.
Now here’s the question Texans should be asking:
What are the PTI networks operating inside Texas saying?
PTI has an organized diaspora presence in the United States, including active supporter networks across Texas particularly in Houston and Dallas-Fort Worth.
Groups publicly operating in the state include:
• PTI USA – Texas Chapter
• PTI DFW / PTI Dallas networks
• PTI United Houston activists
These organizations regularly hold rallies, political events, and demonstrations connected to Pakistani politics, including protests outside the Pakistan Consulate in Houston.
Texas is also home to some of the largest Pakistani-American communities in the country, with major hubs around:
• Houston
• Dallas / Plano / Richardson
• Sugar Land
Many of the same community ecosystems include:
• Pakistani community organizations
• political diaspora groups
• religious institutions
• business networks
So Texans should ask a very simple question:
Has anyone investigated what these PTI political networks in Texas are actually saying to their supporters?
Are they condemning chants of “Death to America” coming from members of their own political movement in Pakistan?
Or are they quietly supporting the same ideology while operating freely inside the United States?
If elected officials in Pakistan can openly chant “Death to America” in parliament while PTI activists organize inside Texas communities, the public deserves transparency.
Who is monitoring this?
Who is funding these networks?
What exactly are they promoting inside Texas?
Texans deserve answers.

According to Favreau, Maine voters simply accept unquestioningly Senate candidate Platner's claim that the large Nazi Totenkopf tattoo he wore on his chest for decades before having it covered over recently was just a scary "military symbol." He's a regular guy & let's move on.

"How is it America's interest to go to war with Iran?"

Our ancient English liberty.
There are a few reasons why the air warfare portion of the Iran war is executing so cleanly, and I thought maybe I can shed light on some of them.
A tiny little 5% wealth tax on billionaires. What could go wrong?
⚠️⚠️⚠️Remember, @GavinNewsom personally used his http://X.com account to call out the president of a local California school board (Temecula) and threaten him with multi-million dollar fines if the board dared to buck state-mandated LBTQ+ curricula and pass rules reversing Newsom's requirements that schools keep secrets from parents about their children's gender transitions.
It was a heavy-handed totalitarian action on an 80/20 issue by Newsom using his power to intimidate local school board officials for bucking his gender indoctrination mandates.
Yesterday, the Supreme Court sided with the school board president, who no longer has to live in fear of getting his school district fined.
The Israel Defense Force has issued a statement warning all representatives of the Iranian Government to leave Lebanon in the next 24 hours or risk being targeted and killed, with IDF Spokesman Col. Avichay Adraee stating, “The IDF warns representatives of the Iranian terror regime who are still in Lebanon to leave immediately before being targeted. The IDF warns that it will not tolerate any presence of representatives of the Iranian terror regime in Lebanon and will grant regime representatives currently in Lebanon 24 hours to leave the country. After that, there will be no safe place for representatives of the Iranian regime in Lebanon, and the IDF will target them wherever they are found.”
Chinese vessel Fu Yuan Yu 9199, largest krill trawler in Antarctica right now is pumping up krill 24/7 from one of Earth’s most fragile regions. They even use drones

Minimal vessel traffic seen in Strait of Hormuz amid reported closure
The latest #MarineTraffic playback shows visibly reduced transit density, alongside holding patterns, slower speeds, and vessels remaining outside the strait as operators reassess risk.
🚨WILD: Steve Witkoff just said on Fox News that at the first meeting with the Iranian they told them very clearly, “we have enough material for 11 nuclear bombs, and that is our starting point.”
Only one of the ~20 Chinese research and surveillance ships I track that regularly broadcast AIS is in the Persian Gulf.
Hai Yang Shi You 760 is a dual-use survey ship, operated by the state-owned CNOOC, which has close ties to the PLA.
The PLA Navy maintains a rotational “naval escort task force” in the Middle East to support an ostensible anti-piracy mission, currently composed of:
• CNS Tangshen (122); Type 052D/Luyang III (Mod) destroyer
• CNS Daqing (576); Type 054A/Jiangkai II frigate
• CNS Tai Hu (889); Type 903/Fuchi-class oiler
Elements of the task force participated in drills off South Africa in January, but latest position is unknown.
COVID turned more climate activists into skeptics than any debate ever could. Not because the science changed — because lockdowns made the endgame visible. Depressed. Isolated. Unfree. One former activist just said the quiet part out loud.
The elites will insist this is fine because freedom must extend even to those who seek to destroy it. This illogical position is rarely challenged and admittedly messy when it involves your own citizens, but it becomes simple when non-citizens are involved. There isn’t a single non-Western nation that would tolerate events designed to subvert the country, so why does the West allow it?
"As of February 23, 2026, of the 6,571 homes destroyed by the Palisades Fire in unincorporated Los Angeles County, a total of 13 homes have been rebuilt."
At this rate, California will have all of the destroyed Palisades homes rebuilt in about 500 years.
I've seen a lot of crazy things...
But truly one of the the craziest things I've ever seen is watching the Iranian people celebrate freedom, while simultaneously watching Leftists protest in favor of the Iranian Ayatollah.
I can hardly believe what I'm seeing.
