WATCH: Hearing goes off the rails as Ted Cruz accuses Biden official of funding Hamas attack on Israel [VIDEO 9:28] by Brandon Gillespie
Texas Sen. Ted Cruz blasted Secretary of State Anthony Blinken for failing to crack down on Iran’s sanctions avoidance
May 21, 2024 7:05pm EDT
Republican Texas Sen. Ted Cruz pulled no punches while questioning Secretary of State Antony Blinken during a heated Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing on Tuesday.
The tense clash between the two began with Cruz blasting the Biden administration’s “worst foreign policy disaster of modern times,” referencing its handling of Iran and the Oct. 7 Hamas terrorist attack on Israel, and culminated with the senator accusing the White House of indirectly funding the attack.
“Mr. Secretary, you have presided over the worst foreign policy disaster of modern times,” Cruz began. “When Joe Biden became president, he inherited peace and prosperity in the world. We now have two simultaneous wars waging: the worst war in Europe since World War II, and the worst war in the Middle East in 50 years. Both, I believe, were caused by this administration’s consistent weakness.”
“Your foreign policy is precisely backwards from what a rational American foreign policy should be to our friends and allies. This administration has consistently undermined, weakened and attacked them,” he added. “And to our enemies, this administration has shown constant appeasement and indeed has flowed billions of dollars to the enemies of America who want to kill us.”
The two clashed over the Biden administration’s effort to prevent Israel from attacking Rafah, a city in the Gaza Strip, as part of its efforts to root out Hamas terrorists from among the Palestinians, with Cruz demanding to know whether they offered Israel intelligence on the terrorists if they would hold off attacking.
Blinken denied any such action was taken and attempted to expand on what he said was President Biden’s support for Israel, but Cruz stopped him, saying he wasn’t interested in a “campaign speech.”
Cruz continued to press him, but Blinken called the notion “misleading and wrong,” and said the U.S. government shares intelligence if it’s available.

Illinois Set to Change Description of ‘Offender’ to ‘Justice-Impacted Individual’ in State Law By Margaret Flavin
May 22, 2024 2:45 pm – In a move that seems like parody, but sadly isn’t, a bill that passed both houses in Illinois yesterday would change the word “offender” to “justice-impacted individual” in state law.
Illinois House Bill 4409 also adds Illinois Department of Corrections representation to the Adult Redeploy Illinois oversight board.
After passing both the House and Senate, it can now be sent to the governor for further action.

EVIL: Biden Regime Offers ‘Condolences’ for Mass-Murdering Butcher of Iran Who Routinely Chanted ‘Death to America’ and Slaughtered Thousands of His Own People By Pamela Geller
May 21, 2024 – The Democrat regime has made it unequivocally clear they stand for tyranny and oppression.
Iranian president Raisi called ‘Butcher of Tehran’ for oversight of mass executions of political prisoners.
“There should be no word of sympathy from any member of the Biden administration for Raisi,” former National Security Council official Richard Goldberg, now a senior adviser at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, told The NY Post before the State Department statement came out.
“If a mass murderer in the United States died, no one would issue sympathy statements; they would issue statements of support for the victims. That’s exactly what we should be doing now.”
Around the same time the State Department’s message went out, US Deputy Ambassador to the United Nations Robert Wood stood to observe a moment of silence for Raisi during a meeting of the UN Security Council.

BEYOND PARODY: Biden State Dept. Offers ‘Condolences’ for Iranian Prez Who Routinely Chanted ‘Death to America’ By: Sean Hannity Staff
May 21, 2024: The Biden State Department issued an official message of condolences on Monday after learning that Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi died in a helicopter crash.
Raisi was known to lead “Death to America” chants during public appearances. “In February, during a rally in which onlookers burned American and Israeli flags, he slammed the U.S. for supporting ‘the Zionist regime’s crimes against humanity in Gaza,’” The Free Beacon reports.
“I say to the enemies; you want to hear the word of the people? These are the great people of Iran,” Raisi was quoted as saying, as the crowd chanted “death to America” and “death to Israel.”
“The United States expresses its official condolences for the death of Iranian president Ebrahim Raisi, foreign minister [Hossein] Amir-Abdollahian, and other members of their delegation in a helicopter crash in northwest Iran,” State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said in a statement. “As Iran selects a new president, we reaffirm our support for the Iranian people and their struggle for human rights and fundamental freedoms.”

Biden National Security Council Advisor: We Can’t Go Against Israel until Reelection; Israel ‘Lies, Bombs, and Kills All These Kids’ [VIDEO 6:10] Project Veritas
MAY 21, 2024
KEY POINTS
KEY QUOTES: STERLIN WATERS, POLICY ADVISOR, NATIONAL SECURITY COUNCIL, WHITE HOUSE:
- “If Biden won again he could be much more forthright about saying ‘No’ (to Israel).”
- “There’s a huge, powerful Jewish influence in Republican and Democrat politics and the administration is definitely facing a conundrum of … you know, siding or like, being as active as some of the more progressive democratic liberal factions … and losing the next administration because of that.”
- “To really point out that Israel has so much more power in this situation… there’s the media and powerful people who can twist that to say, ‘Oh, we’ve been ostracized for so long and now even the U.S… is against us.’ To play like, a martyr. We would lose [the election].”
- “We can help you [Israel] in the way that we can, but you’re not going to continue to lie, and bomb, and kill all these kids without facing serious consequences.”
- “But that is a second term decision bandwidth not a first term, you know… [Biden will lose] enough support that we can’t get to 270 electoral votes.”
A current White House official on staff with the National Security Council stated in a Project Veritas undercover recording that President Joe Biden is waiting for a second term to condemn Israel’s actions in Gaza but can’t say so due to ‘powerful Jewish influences’ that could cost him the election.
Sterlin Waters, a cyber policy advisor for the National Security Council, told a Veritas journalist that Joe Biden is a facing a ‘conundrum’ that prevents him from condemning Israel’s actions in Gaza. Waters reports to Deputy National Security Advisor for Cyber and Emerging Technology, Anne Neuberger, who reports to NSA Director Jake Sullivan. On camera Waters refers to his boss Neuberger as “very Jewish.”
[Pamela Geller: If the Democrats steal the election again in November, it’s not just curtains for America, but the whole of the free world will be hurled back to the dark ages. The US government is compromised and infiltrated by our worst enemies.]
Locals Left In Limbo After Oakland Replaces Traffic Lights With Stop Signs To Deter Copper Theft by Jordyn M.
May 21, 2024 – Oakland, California’s response to rampant theft and tampering at a busy intersection has caught the attention of motorists.
At the junction of E. 12th Street and 16th Avenue, where once traffic lights stood sentinel, now hangs the conspicuous presence of stop signs.
“The city is now replacing traffic lights with stop signs because the homeless are allegedly stealing wiring from the electrical boxes,” Jonathan Choe reported.
Local residents say city crews took swift action over the past week, stripping away the entire infrastructure of traffic lights and installing four-way stop signs in their stead.
CBS News reported that this decision follows a prolonged period during which copper theft and meddling with municipal electrical boxes plagued the area, rendering the traffic lights dysfunctional.
Benny Johnson Exposes Democrats’ Ghettoization Of America In The ‘Most Dangerous’ TARGET Store *This Is Absurd* (VIDEO) By Alicia Powe
“… While the political party that led efforts to defund the police allows robbers, rapists, pedophiles, and killers back into the streets without posting bond or bail and welcomes the influx of illegal aliens with open arms, Americans who protested the tyranny and installation of a dictatorship in the nation’s Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021 continue to get handed long prison sentences, even decades behind bars, for non-violent misdemeanor offenses, like cavalierly strolling around the US Capitol building while taking selfies.
Hundreds of J6 political prisoners languish in jails across America for 3-plus years in pretrial detention.” [Emphasis added]
May 21, 2024 10:15 am – Muggings, vehicle break-ins, carjackings, and homicides continue to surge in blue cities nationwide following the Democrat-led institution of bail-reform laws that keep violent offenders out of jail and legislative measures that put the burden of liability on police officers while emboldening criminals.
In San Francisco, Prop 47 prevents police officers from arresting or even intervening with anyone shoplifting up to $950 of merchandise.
As a result, thieves have been getting away with robbing and looting stores in broad daylight for the past three years in Biden’s America.
Flagrant shoplifting has become such a regular occurrence in the Golden City that convenience store chains like Target, Walgreens, and CVS have resigned to shutting down operations in the Democrat-run city.
Footage from inside a Target store in San Francisco showcased by journalist Benny Johnson in an “investigation of the most dangerous Target in America” could be mistaken for images from a communist third-world hellhole in South America or Akistan or dystopian satire from the movie Idiocracy.
Unfortunately, it’s the Biden regime’s ghettoization of America.
“Target is one of America’s most successful retailers. They’re typically in the business of opening up stores, not closing them down. Every single Target in San Francisco has been closed down except one in this location. This Target in the Tenderloin district is suffering, severely,” Johnson explains as he walks into one of the only remaining Target stores in the city. “And why would that be? Typically when you open up a store you want to sell items, not have them stolen.”
“Because San Francisco refuses to criminalize homelessness or robberies, the robberies within the neighborhood this Target is located are up 44 percent this year. Not just robberies. The homicides are up 33 percent; rape is up 20 percent; assault is up 17 percent; and arson is up 21 percent.”
“Also, motor vehicle theft, which we nearly experienced when we were in San Francisco, is up 50 percent.”
Even the glass door to the entry of the store was shattered and broken, the popular conservative talk show host noted.
Johnson and his film crew also witnessed a robbery the second he entered the building. He then watched an armed security that “looks like special forces” bust the shoplifter.
Oh, and Johnson’s car was vandalized while parking in the Democrat-run district.
Israel Fuming At UN’s Moment Of Silence For Iran Leader: ‘What’s Next? A Moment Of Silence For Hitler?’ BY TYLER DURDEN
TUESDAY, MAY 21, 2024 – 05:44 AM
Update(1653ET): Amid the international messages of condolence and support for Iran after the death of President Ebrahim Raisi, the United Nations Security Council on Monday held a solemn moment of silence to observe his passing. Israel is outraged by the gesture, saying that it was tantamount to honoring a terrorist, or “Hitler” – as stated by Israeli Ambassador to UN Gilad Erdan.
“You read correctly, the UN Security Council today held a moment’s silence to remember a mass murderer, Iranian President Raisi,” Erdan said in a video published to social media.
“This body, which makes no effort to free our hostages, tipped their heads today to a man who was responsible for the deaths of thousands in Iran, in Israel, and around the world.”
The Israeli representative added: “What’s next? A minute of silence on the anniversary of Hitler’s death?” and charged that the UNSC has become “a danger to world peace.”
Scene from Monday’s moment of silence at the UN in New York City:
* * *
Update(1437ET): More details have emerge of the helicopter crash in remote far northern Iran on Sunday which killed President Ebrahim Raisi and some top officials. Iranian state media is citing a “technical failure” which caused the helicopter to crash in the site of a mountain not far from the border of Azerbaijan. Iran state media has also blamed US-led sanctions which have heavily targeted its aviation sector for years. The Bell helicopter transporting the Iranian head of state was reportedly at least 40 years old, but there was also inclement weather and heavy fog in the region over the weekend.
State funerals are being planned, reportedly which will take place over three cities in as many days, which will include public processions. Heads of state allied with Iran are expected to attend, and it will be interesting to see whether Russia’s Putin and China’s Xi will be attending in Tehran. As for the White House, it has released the following message via John Kirby: he offered the government’s “condolences” for the death of President Raisi, but he said “we’re going to continue to stand with the Iranian people as they fight for their own civil rights and, as they should, and we’re going to continue to hold Iran accountable for all their destabilizing behavior in the region, which continues to this day.”
Wealthy Women Paying Big Bucks to Engage in Bizarre “Rage Rituals” in the Woods (VIDEO) By Cullen Linebarger
May 20, 2024 8:20 pm – A weird trend has been emerging worldwide where well-off women are paying thousands of dollars to go deep into the woods and scream like hyenas at the top of their lungs while smashing sticks.
USA Today reported that these events, known as rage rituals, have garnered attention on social media platforms, including TikTok. Women who have partaken in these events claim they are inspired to see other females manifest their anger.
Mia Banducci, an author and self-proclaimed “Spiritual Fairy Godmother,” is one of the individuals organizing these retreats. She told the outlet this month that the retreats help release negative feelings and increase happiness elsewhere in participants’ lives.
“When people do this and give themselves permission to release their anger, their capacity for joy actually expands,” she said. “They’re able to feel more happiness and pleasure, and they go home to their families with more gratitude and ease and peace.”
Banducci has led rage rituals for several years. She started doing them for herself before offering them to the general public.
These retreats can cost participants between $2,000 and $4,000. Banducci offers a one-day version for $222 per ticket.
Below is one example of a “rage ritual” led by Banducci:

Commie Pope Francis Claims Stopping America’s Illegal Border Invasion Would Be ‘Sheer Madness’ (VIDEO) By Ben Kew
May 20, 2024 8:00 pm – Pope Francis has come out against efforts to control America’s borders, arguing that attempting to stop the invasion at the U.S.-Mexico border would be “sheer madness.”
In a 60 Minutes interview with Norah O’Donnell, Francis denounced efforts by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton to shut down a Catholic charity that is enabling the passage of thousands of illegal aliens across the southern border.
“Migration is something that makes a country grow,” he said. “They say that you Irish migrated and brought the whiskey, and that the Italians migrated and brought the mafia. Migrants sometimes suffer a lot. They suffer a lot.”
“To close the border and leave them there, that is madness,” he continued. “Migrants have to be welcomed. Thereafter, you see how you are going to deal with them. Maybe you have to send them back, I don’t know, but each case ought to be considered humanely.”

Palestinians Threaten to Attack US Troops by Bassam Tawil
May 20, 2024 at 5:00 am
- [The Palestinians] seem confident that if the Biden administration is rewarding them for malign behavior, it is clearly working, so why not keep it up?
- The Palestinians are hoping to scare the Americans and prevent them from cooperating with Israel on the future of the Gaza Strip after the war.
- The Biden administration did not, it seems, even demand that, in return for the humanitarian aid, the hostages be released or that the terrorists stop launching rockets into Israel.
- Apparently, the Biden administration did not even request assurances that the aid would not be seized and diverted by the terrorists.
- Hamas has earned at least $500 million from the aid trucks entering the Gaza Strip since the beginning of the war in October 2023, according Ehud Yaari, an Israeli expert on Arab and Palestinian affairs.
- [The Palestinians] consider the presence of US troops in the region as another form of “occupation” and an unwelcome intervention in the internal affairs of the Arabs in the Middle East.
- As long as supplies are getting into the Gaza Strip, Hamas will not stop fighting or free the hostages.
- Because of the Gaza pier, the Biden administration has made it immensely harder to free the hostages and end the war.
More than $300 million has been spent by the Biden administration to construct a floating pier on the coast of the Gaza Strip to aid the local Palestinian population. Rather than expressing gratitude to the US, the Palestinians have publicly denounced the Biden administration and warned Arabs and Palestinians not to cooperate with the project.
They seem confident that if the Biden administration is rewarding them for malign behavior, it is clearly working, so why not keep it up?
The Palestinians are hoping to scare the Americans and prevent them from cooperating with Israel on the future of the Gaza Strip after the war.
The US move coincides with the Iran-backed Hamas terrorist group is continuing to hold hostage more than 120 Israelis who were abducted from Israel on October 7, 2023, when Hamas launched its cross-border invasion from the Gaza Strip.
Based on the responses of Hamas and other terrorist groups, the pier will not help end the war or free the hostages.
The Biden administration did not, it seems, even demand that, in return for the humanitarian aid, the hostages be released or that the terrorists stop launching rockets into Israel.

Biden Admin Privately Asks Hamas Not to Attack U.S. Forces by Daniel Greenfield
“We’ve also passed that message back through the appropriate channels to Hamas”
May 19, 2024 – Biden has wasted a fortune in taxpayer money to build a floating aid pier to Gaza.
And it’s already come under fire.
Late last month, Islamic terrorists did fire mortar shells at the pier, forcing a UN team to flee for cover and damaging some of our equipment. After the attack it was announced that the Israeli military would be tasked with providing security for the pier since Biden’s efforts to recruit Muslim allies to protect it had failed.
After the mortar attack, the terror pier was moved to the Israeli port of Ashdod, allegedly because of the bad weather, but also because of the terrorist attacks.
Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin recently admitted at a congressional hearing that American soldiers operating Biden’s disastrous “aid pier” for Gaza could come under attack from Islamic terrorists.
In the event American forces on the pier come under attack, they would be allowed to fight back, Austin promised. But based on the rules of engagement in Iraq and Afghanistan, all the terrorists have to do is attack from a mosque or from behind civilians, and American soldiers would be banned from fighting back.
And those are the ways that Hamas tends to attack.
So the Biden administration is reduced to privately begging an Islamic terrorist group not to attack U.S. forces.
According to News Nation’s Kellie Meyer, “The White House says it has been communicated to Hamas that the US involvement at the shore of Gaza is purely for humanitarian support, not any sort of military operation.
“It’s nothing more than humanitarian assistance and we’ve also passed that message back through the appropriate channels to Hamas, so they understand exactly what this is.”
Because somehow the Biden admin is under the impression that a terrorist group that fired an anti-tank missile at a school bus, suicide bombed civilian buses and butchered, raped and kidnapped attendees at a music festival and burned alive families in their own homes… only attacks military targets.
Announcing that you’re not a military target and won’t fight back is exactly what will get an Islamic terror group to attack you.
This is a pathetic display of weakness that endangers Americans, not only around Gaza, but around the world.
Democrat MA Town That Voted Overwhelmingly for Joe Biden Furious They Got What They Voted For By Margaret Flavin
May 19, 2024 10:40 am – Norfolk, Massachusetts’ 11,500 residents voted overwhelmingly for Joe Biden in 2020.
Now, residents are up in arms that they are getting exactly what they voted for.
The state announced it is refurbishing the Massachusetts Bay State Correctional Center in Norfolk, which formerly served as a minimum-security dorm-like facility. The move will alleviate the hundreds of illegals currently camped out at Boston’s Logan International Airport and provide housing for six to twelve months.
But residents are not happy that Biden’s border crisis is coming to their backyard.
On Wednesday, during a Select Board meeting, around 300 residents attended the meeting to share their concerns about the influx of illegals into their town and expressed frustration that they were left in the dark about the plans.
Residents also demanded answers on how the move would impact community services, including schools, emergency services, and the overall town budget.
“Let’s face it, we don’t want it here. We don’t,” resident John Semas said, according to GBH.
“And, it doesn’t make us bad people, it doesn’t make me not compassionate, it doesn’t make me a bad father.” Semas was among a small group of people donning shirts and placards that read “Save Norfolk: No Shelter,” the publication reports.
******
At Wednesday’s meeting, resident Lauren Vives said the shelter could bring a financial burden to the town, which only has two elementary schools, one ambulance, a small police and fire department and no grocery store.
“The proposition to increase our town’s population by 4% overnight is preposterous,” Vivas said, according to GBH. She said that the plan shows “a lack of respect” for the town.

DEVELOPING: Helicopter Carrying Iranian President and Mass Murderer Ebrahim Raisi Crashes – Rescue Effort Being Hampered by Bad Weather Conditions (VIDEO) By Cullen Linebarger
May 19, 2024 10:20 am – A helicopter carrying Iranian President and mass murderer Ebrahim Raisi crashed while visiting a northern region and his condition is currently unknown according to reports.
In addition to Raisi, Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian, along with other officials and bodyguards, were on the flight. The helicopter has been rpeortedly located around the village of Uzi in the forests of Arsbaran.
Twenty rescue teams and drones have been sent to the area. But emergency crews have so far been unable to reach the location due to foggy conditions.
Below is a video of the rescue teams attempting to locate Raisi’s helicopter.
Iranian state television described the incident as an “accident.”
The Guardian reports that the semi-official Fars news agency has urged Iranians to pray for Ebrahim Raisi, and state TV carried prayers for his safety.
According to CNN, Raisi’s helicopter was part of a convoy of three helicopters. The other two helicopters were carrying ministers and officials who arrived at their destination safely.
Following a rigged election process in 2021, the Iranian regime selected Raisi as its next president. Raisi is one of the the theocratic state’s most notorious murderers. As the Organization of Iranian Communities notes, Raisi helped engineer the execution of more than 30,000 political prisoners in 1988 alone.
He also played a played a significant role in the slaughtering of 1500 pro-democracy protesters as the head of the Islamic Republic’s Judiciary, following the 2019 nationwide protests.

The State Dept, CIA, FBI Are Colluding and Shielding Palestinian Reporter Who Cheered Oct. 7 Massacre – He Was Then Brought to US and Participated in Riots at Columbia University – And Now He Is Honored as Time 100 Most Influential People… UPDATE: MUST SEE VIDEO By Jim Hoft
May 19, 2024 8:00 am – Motaz Azaiza is a reporter from Gaza who documented life in Gaza following the Palestinian raid on southern Egypt in October 2023 and the murder of 1,200 Jews, including young adults at a concert targeted by the barbarians.
It was the largest slaughter of Jews in one day since the horrors of the Holocaust during World War II.
In January, Motaz fled into Egypt was was quickly given a pass to the United States.
And in April Motaz Azaiza was celebrated by TIME Magazine as one of the most influential people in 2024.
TIME Magazine: For 108 days, Motaz Azaiza acted as the world’s eyes and ears in his native Gaza. Armed with a camera and a flak jacket marked “PRESS,” the 25-year-old Palestinian photographer spent nearly four months documenting life under Israeli bombardment: families displaced from homes, women mourning loved ones, a man trapped beneath the rubble. His images offered a glimpse into Gaza that few in the international press—which has been all but barred from accessing the Strip—could rival. He did so at great risk: At least 95 journalists have been killed in Gaza since Oct. 7, in what has been the deadliest period for the press since the Committee to Protect Journalists began tracking fatalities in 1992. Dozens more have been injured or arrested. Since evacuating Gaza in January, Azaiza’s role has shifted to raising awareness of the crisis—and to calling for international intervention.
Rashida Tlaib also awarded Motaz with a Congressional Record for his coverage of the Palestinian people.
Western Universities: A Double Invasion by Amir Taheri

- They introduce themselves as university students, young scholars who are supposedly training to become the nation’s political guides and mentors.
- However, you soon found out that their understanding of political issues, including the current war in Gaza, is a reflection more of street politics than academic methods. In other words, the street, and its politique de la rue in French, have invaded the university or at least part of it that wears the label of “humanities”, a witches’ brew of once academic subjects corrupted by ideology.
- The crisis in Western universities is further complicated by the advent of wokeism, a corrupted secular version of the seminarian’s sympathy for the innocent scapegoat, a sympathy extended to all real or imagined victims of injustice. While the seminary is chiefly interested in the text, faculty ought to be equally interested in the context. In many “humanities” departments in Western universities, however, the text comes from propagandist pamphlets written by polemicist professors, while the context is regarded as a mere diversion from the truth.
- Shakespeare said it best: “Now confusion has made its masterpiece!”
If you visit Paris these days, you may run into solemn-looking youths distributing a tract that’s says: “Palestine is fighting for all of us!” or tagging this message on the walls: “Stop Genocide in Palestine!”

Iran’s New Proxy: American Universities by Robert Williams
May 19, 2024 at 5:00 am
- “We are watching the demonstrations, and we like what we see, but it should not end with this…. These protestors are our people and will support Iran in an Iran-U.S. confrontation; Iran can repeat in the U.S. what it did in Lebanon but on a grander scale because the ‘Hizbullah -style’ groups in the U.S. are ‘much larger’ than in Lebanon…. America is the Great Satan and our enemy, but we have hope in these areas.” — Foad Izadi, Teheran University, who studied at University of Houston and Louisiana State University, Ofogh TV (Iran), April 26, 2024.
- [Hezbollah’s Deputy Secretary-General Sheikh Naim] Qassem – who appeared almost taken aback at the eagerness of students on US campuses to join Hamas in its call for the genocide of Jews – was hopeful about the ability of America’s students to help Hezbollah destroy Israel by turning the U.S. against its ally.
- “We found evidence that the government of Iran really controlled everything about the [Alavi] foundation,” Adam Kaufmann, investigations chief at the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office, November 22, 2009.
- The Alavi Foundation, according to its website, has indeed funded many of the universities where protests were taking place. The universities include those of the Ivy league, such as Columbia, Harvard, Princeton, Rutgers, as well as UCLA and many others.
- In 2016, Harvard employed Ali Akbar Alikhani – who had warned about “the Jewish threat” — from Tehran University’s Faculty of World Studies, which is reportedly closely tied to the Iranian ruling regime, as a visiting scholar at Harvard’s Center for Middle Eastern studies….
- Hooshang Amirahmadi, the founder of the American Iranian Council (AIC), has admitted that the lobbying organization was created by the Islamic Republic of Iran to work for its interests in the US. Amirahmadi has had and continues to enjoy a successful academic career at Rutgers University…
- Some faculty members at Rutgers recently called for the genocide of Jews.
- In addition, at least five US universities — Virginia Tech University, the University of Washington, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Clarkson University, and the University of Louisiana at Lafayette — have allegedly been cooperating with Iranian entities that are sanctioned by the US and the European Union, including the Iranian Aerospace Research Institute, Iran University of Science and Technology, and the Sharif University of Technology.
- Iran can only be rejoicing at the moral and educational collapse they have helped create on American university campuses, which are grooming America’s future teachers, judges and political leaders. Now, however, these campuses appear to be incubating America’s future terrorists and creating a national security threat.
“Iran, you make us proud” and “Yemen, Yemen make us proud, turn another ship around,” were among the chants by the pro-Hamas college students and the paid activists who organized them on U.S. campuses. They declared a “student intifada,” conducted a Hamas-inspired “Day of Rage,” bowed down to Allah and called for “Death to Israel” and “Death to America.”
Meanwhile, Iran and the mouthpieces of its Islamist regime were paying extremely close attention. According to Tehran University Professor Foad Izadi, who is American-educated and considered one of Iran’s main experts on the U.S. and a mouthpiece for the Iranian regime:

Last month Trump 2020 alternate electors, GOP state legislators, former Arizona GOP chairwoman Kelli Ward and others were indicted by a state grand jury in Arizona.
A total of 18 people involved in the Arizona alternate electors plan were indicted by the Arizona grand jury last month.
Trump lawyers Christina Bobb, Jenna Ellis, Rudy Giuliani and John Eastman were indicted.
President Trump was named “Unindicted Coconspirator-1” in the indictment because he made a phone call about the ballot counting to former governor Doug Ducey.
Arizona’s Democrat Attorney General Kris Mayes announced last month. She defended her witch hunt and the curious timing of the indictment – just months before the 2024 general election. Make no mistake, the charges are a warning shot to anyone who may want to challenge the 2024 election. [Emphasis added]
“We conducted a thorough and professional investigation over the past 13 months into the fake electors scheme in our state,” Arizona’s Democrat Attorney General Kris Mayes said in a video announcing the charges. “I understand for some of you today didn’t come fast enough. And I know I’ll be criticized by others for conducting this investigation at all. But as I’ve stated before, and we’ll say here again, today, I will not allow American democracy to be undermined.”
Eastman voluntarily surrendered to arrest and was booked and arraigned in Phoenix on Friday. He pleaded not guilty to conspiracy, fraud, forgery and other felony charges, the Arizona Sun Times reported.
John Eastman, flanked by his legal counsel, briefly spoke with reporters in Phoenix on Friday after he was arraigned.
“These charges should’ve never been brought. I pled not guilty. I had zero communications with the electors in Arizona. Zero involvement in any of the election litigation in Arizona or legislative hearings. I’m confident that if the law is faithfully applied I will be fully exonerated at the end of this process,” Eastman said in a statement.
John Eastman was also previously indicted in Fulton County, Georgia in Fani Willis’ lawfare RICO case against Trump.
Last month Eastman was officially disbarred after a California leftist judge ruled he should have his law license stripped for challenging the 2020 election.
US Administration Abandons Israel, Empowers Enemies by Majid Rafizadeh

- Worse, abandoning Israel sends a troubling message to U.S. allies worldwide: in times of crisis, do not rely on American support.
- The Biden administration has eroded trust and damaged U.S. credibility on the global stage even further than it already had done after surrendering Afghanistan and allowing China to kill more than a million Americans with Covid-19, or poisoning to death more than 80,000 Americans each year with fentanyl, or permitting China to commit massive espionage and intellectual property theft with no consequences at all.
- Biden’s decision has projected an image of weakness rather than leadership, further tarnishing America’s reputation as a steadfast defender of the free world. Instead, the Biden administration is seen globally as siding with terrorists — the Taliban in Afghanistan, the terror-funding Qataris, the genocidal Communist government of China, and the annual winner of the world’s top, largest, leading “state sponsor of terrorism,” Iran.
- Such a milestone shift in U.S. foreign policy displays a concerning departure from longstanding principles of backing the Free World. Overall, the development is deeply detrimental to U.S. interests. It threatens the stability of international relations, and for the perception of America’s role as a leading global power, it is nothing short of devastating.
In an unprecedented move in US governance, the Biden administration has embarked on a policy that departs from its longstanding support for Israel.
Instead, there is a discernible tilt towards policies that favor the adversaries of the United States, notably Iran and its proxies such as Hamas and Hezbollah, as well as China and Russia. This strategic realignment marks a significant shift in US foreign policy and has generated a substantial risk both domestically and internationally.
On one front, the Biden administration’s policy of granting sanctions waivers to Iran has bolstered its financial resources, enabling its regime to resume funding terrorism and “exporting the revolution.” This influx of funds provides the Iranian regime with the means to finance, arm and support terrorist groups such as Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis; forge closer ties with Russia and supply it with weapons to attack Ukraine, and have Iran’s proxies repeatedly target not only Israel, but also US troops in more than 150 recent attacks in the Middle East. The US gave Iran the funding that they used to attack it. By lifting economic restrictions, the Biden administration has empowered entities hostile to US interests and those of its allies, funded both sides of two major wars, in Ukraine and Gaza, and successfully destabilizing both Europe and the Middle East.

J6er Jake Lang Emerges From 36 Days in Sensory Deprivation Chamber
May 17, 2024 5:20 pm – The capacity of human beings to adjust to nearly any environment is quite terrifying. Just ask January 6 Political Prisoner Jake Lang, who just endured 36 days in horrific solitary confinement at the hands of the Biden Regime.
Jake’s social media team released a triumphant tweet earlier today, marking his high-spirited release with a hallmark ‘what doesn’t kill us makes us stronger’ attitude.
Lang shared on X:
40 months ago, TODAY on January 16th 2021, I was kidnapped from my home in Upstate NY by the Gestapo FBI for my role in January 6 & I have remained incarcerated by the Biden Regime as a J6 Political Prisoner without bond or trial since.
And TODAY after nearly 40 days in a Sensory Deprivation Chamber (HORRIFIC SOLITARY CONFINEMENT)
I have finally been RELEASED back into General Population where I can stretch my legs, do Bible studies, and not starve every night!!
I BEAT THE FABRICATED INSTITUTIONAL CHARGES AGAINST ME!!
These last 40 months have been undeniably difficult – but they have been an epic journey of God’s potent grace & His ability to give enduring strength through the name of Jesus – overshadowing the most insane 3rd world treatment of American citizens since Japanese internment camps during WWll
The Spiritual significance of the number 40 is seen over and over in God’s living Word. Noah spent 40 days in the Ark. Moses lead the Jewish people for 40 days through the desert until they finally reached the Promised Land Eretz Israel, Jesus fasted for 40 days after the Spirit descended upon Him, and appeared to thousands in Israel victorious after Resurrection for 40 days!!
Make no mistake America – your soul felt prayers are SHIFTING THE ATMOSPHERE
This National season of despair, defeat and depression are waning & a New Bloom of Liberty is amongst us!! Take Heart!! Brace yourself like MEN!!
THE BATTLE IS FAR FROM OVER, BUT TODAY AFTER 40 MONTHS – WE PROPHECY THE VICTORY IN JESUS NAME.
STAND ON YOUR SHACKLES J6ERS, AND LIFT YOUR VOICE TO GOD. HE IS COMING AGAIN.
