Can we just wipe Iran off the face of the Earth ??

⬆️ “Iran-Linked Media Outlet Publishes Threat Video Targeting Melania, Barron”
IRAN IS HUNTING THE TRUMP FAMILY
The IRGC-linked Tasnim News Agency issued a dire threat publishing a video identifying locations frequented by Melania Trump—where she goes, where she shops, and where she may be found. That means someone has been watching. Someone has been gathering intelligence.
Someone is preparing the ground for murder. They called on supporters of the Islamic Republic to kill Melania Trump and ended with a threat against Barron Trump. Iran is telling America exactly what it intends to do. Take revenge on the killing of Khamenei. Something they will neither forgive or forget. The only question is whether America will wake up or continue to negotiate. But make no mistake, Tehran will never give up their ‘right’ to shed blood.

Owners Oh Senator Thune, Mitch Mc Connel
2. Key Industry & Political Action Committees (PACs)Federal Election Commission (FEC) and OpenSecrets records show that Thune’s campaign committees and Leadership PACs regularly receive donations from major corporate and trade PACs. Key supporting industries include:
3. Political Fundraising CommitteesThune manages his financial support through several primary political vehicles:
Committee NameFunctionFriends of John ThuneHis main candidate campaign committee used for Senate reelection.Heartland Values PACHis primary leadership PAC used to donate to other conservative candidates.Senate Leadership Fund / New Heights ActionSuper PACs aligned with Senate Republican leadership to maintain and expand the Senate majority.
I aimed this question to Senate Leader John Thune Who Really Owns you?
A hard-hitting country rock anthem asking the big question: “Who really owns you?” As President Trump says, “Either you filibuster or they will!” Time for Senate leadership to step up or step aside.
Oops wrong link
Someone publicly asking the right question, in a simple manner.
JMO.
For sure, Senate Leader Thune isn’t a “Senate Leader Joseph T. Robinson.”
Who is Leader Joseph T. Robinson you ask. He was the leader in Franklin Roosevelt’s term as President.
Heck, Thune isn’t even close to matching Robinson’s hard work passing President Franklin Roosevelt’s legislative agenda.
Leader Joseph T. Robinson loyally passed the new president’s legislative agenda because the people of the country had just elected Roosevelt and they deserved to have the House and Senate pass his legislative agenda.
Robinson passed FDR’s agenda bills so quickly that Will Rogers joked “Congress doesn’t pass legislation any more, they just wave at the bills as they go by.” He wouldn’t take “no” as an excuse from senators for not passing Roosevelt’s agenda items.
Thune, on the other hand, spends his time in front of the fake news, making up lame excuses for not passing President Trump’s agenda items.
That has to end, NOW.
Thune thinks it is 2018 and he is another “turtle Addison Mitchell McConnell III ” stonewalling President Trump to collect his payday from his globalist paymasters, ignoring the directions from the American electorate.
Sorry to break the news to Thune:
Either Thune passes President Trump’s legislative agenda including the SAVE AMERICA ACT NOW, and replaces his communist, democrat parliamentarian or he gets voted out, NOW.

Don’t let the slick campaign speeches fool you.

IMMIGRATION POLICY IN RUSSIA
New additions to Russian immigration legislation, signed into law by President Putin yesterday:
— Labor migrants will be required to provide proof they can financially support themselves and their family members living in Russia, otherwise, their work permit will not be renewed, and they and their minor children will be required to leave the country within 15 days (to prevent illegal employment and welfare abuse)
— The list of grounds for revoking temporary residence permits and permanent residence permits has been expanded. Including failure to provide income and tax documentation or having too low of an official income
— Children of labor immigrants may remain in Russia only while their parent’s work permit is valid; upon reaching the age of 18 migrant children will have to apply for work/residence permits or leave Russia within 30 days (to prevent chain migration)
— The authority to approve lists of occupations for migrants has been transferred from the Ministry of Labor to the Ministry of the Interior
— The Ministry of the Interior will now determine the circumstances in which migrants may work outside the region that issued their permit, no longer the Ministry of Labor
POSTED BACK IN JANUARY 2026:
The Russian legislative response to mass immigration in the last two years, particularly after the Crocus Hall terrorist attack:
1. There is now a register of “controlled persons” for immigrants with expired paperwork or who have been determined to be in the country illegally.
“Controlled persons” are not allowed to drive, open bank accounts, obtain loans, marry, open business, acquire real estate or leave their region of residence except to leave Russia. They have to report to police with geolocated photos while immigration or deportation proceedings are ongoing.
Police may deport without court rulings for certain administrative offenses or crimes.
2. Any crime committed by an illegal immigrant is punished more harshly, because being an illegal immigrant now counts as an aggravating circumstance.
3. Facilitating illegal immigration is now classified as a major crime with sentences up to 15 years. Penalties for forging documents have also been increased.
4. All immigrants have to submit to full biometric surveillance, including fingerprinting and the creation of a digital profile.
5. All foreign children are required to pass a Russian language proficiency exam before enrolling in school.
Proposed/draft bills that may become law in the near future:
– Complete ban on low-skilled labor migrants bringing family members to Russia
– Ban on renting to migrants for longer than 1 year
– Ban on low-skilled workers obtaining residence permits or citizenship, period
– Ban on newly-naturalized citizens acquiring firearms or receiving certain forms of government assistance (e.g. “maternity capital”)
(In positive immigration news: after the introduction of stricter laws on language requirements for attending school & similar measures, the number of underage foreign citizens in Russia has fallen by almost 25% compared to a year ago, as reported by the Ministry of the Interior)

Ground report:
I just made a run from Leesburg VA to Asheville NC on 7 to 81 to 26.
Cheapest diesel fuel was $4.89/gal at the Shell around marker 175 on 81 in VA.
Prices about the same in VA, TN and NC. BP, Loves, TA/Petro about $5.89/gal, Exxon about $5.24.
Was sureal seeing a $0.80/gal different on opposite sides of the street. Supply chain matters!
Round trip $170 for fuel in a SUV.
ETA: the number of cameras along the way was insane! In some areas, they were every 1/2mi. Most of it was every 2mi. In VA, some speed cameras were mobile, mounted on pickup truck beds, parked along the road.
Wondering if I will get 45 speeding tockets for 2MPH over, in the mail next week.

Scripture warns us to test every spirit and look past smooth preaching. James Talarico uses sacred pulpit words to hide a radical agenda that undermines parental rights, public safety, and Texas values. When you look at actual records, Attorney General Ken Paxton is the proven fighter who takes D.C. to court and stands up for Texas families every single day.

Chicago –
” Yellow Banana received funding from the city of Chicago, including a $13.5 million grant awarded in 2022, to help reduce food deserts in the city’s underserved communities. The grant, combined with other financing and funding from Yellow Banana, brought approximately $26 million in investment into locations throughout the city’s South and West Sides. By April 2025, Yellow Banana had opened all of its planned Chicago stores. ”

UAE HEDGES ITS BETS: PLAYS BOTH SIDES—IRAN AND THE U.S.-ISRAEL ALLIANCE
The UAE’s hedging illustrates its lack of confidence in the resolve of the United States and Israel. Abu Dhabi believes it must prepare for the day after—one in which the Iranian regime may still be standing.
The UAE is reopening trade, flights, and diplomatic channels with Iran while simultaneously deepening its defense ties with Israel and the United States. Abu Dhabi remains deeply suspicious of Tehran, but it also understands the economic and geographic risks of permanent confrontation with its neighbor.
At the same time, the UAE is expanding cooperation with Washington and Jerusalem on missile defense, artificial intelligence, infrastructure, and security. It is also developing alternative ports, pipelines, and underground facilities to reduce its dependence on the Strait of Hormuz and protect critical infrastructure from future attacks.
https://nitter.poast.org/MOSSADil/status/2081994193002516598#m
Apparently the UAE PAID Iran NOT to attack them these last weeks. So Jordan, Bahrain and Kuwait were attacked
Dubai International Airport is the busiest international airport in the world. That cannot be discounted.
US WALKS OUT AS FRANCE TRIES TO LECTURE AMERICA ON HUMAN RIGHTS
US diplomats walked out of the UN Security Council after France declared: “The US used to be a beacon of human rights. Not anymore.”
Washington fired back. Deputy US Ambassador Dan Negrea accused France of feigning “moral outrage,” while Ambassador Mike Waltz blasted Paris for coddling “some of the worst human rights abusers.”
France lecturing the country that has repeatedly stood by it while cozying up to dictatorships at the UN is peak diplomatic arrogance!

Here are the names
https://x.com/nataliegwinters/status/2081761909112783269
The names include: – Ezra Klein, New York Times columnist – Matthew Yglesias, Vox co-founder – Ronald Brownstein, CNN senior political analyst – Bradford Plumer, New York Times reporter – Marjorie Miller, former Associated Press vice president
Also identified: – Steve Clemons, former The Hill editor-at-large – David Rohde, MS NOW senior national security reporter – Jonathan Alter, NBC News and MSNBC political analyst – David Sweeney, former NPR managing editor – Daniel Gross, former Yahoo Finance columnist
Also on the roster: – Marilyn Geewax, former NPR senior editor – Kathleen Deveny, former Newsweek editor – Tom Omestad, former U.S. News & World Report correspondent – Steve Chapman, former Chicago Tribune columnist – Bruce Stokes, former National Journal correspondent
The list continues: – Craig Gilbert, former Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Washington bureau chief – Tony Semerad, Salt Lake Tribune reporter – Shikha Dalmia, former The Week columnist – Jonathan Broder, former Newsweek senior writer
Also identified: – Cristi Kempf, former Chicago Tribune associate managing editor – Jon Healey, Los Angeles Times deputy editorial page editor – Julian Pecquet, former Foreign Affairs reporter
Trip organizer CUSEF was founded by Tung Chee-hwa, a former senior official in the CCP’s United Front system, the influence apparatus Beijing uses to cultivate foreign elites and shape institutions outside China.
A bipartisan congressional report says the United Front works to “co-opt and neutralize sources of potential opposition” to the CCP. American media was not incidental to the strategy. It was a target.
The access went far beyond conference rooms. American journalists were taken on curated tours through China, including visits to Chinese military bases, by the same network seeking favorable coverage.
Then came the coverage. Shikha Dalmia published “China Bashing is for Losers.” Bradford Plumer praised Beijing’s climate agenda. Bruce Stokes warned that economic “decoupling” from China would “backfire.”
Catherine Rampell repeatedly attacked Trump’s China policies. One dispatch from her CUSEF-funded trip amplified Chinese officials portraying America as the aggressor and urged Washington to abandon its “zero-sum-game attitude” toward Beijing.
David Rohde produced one of the clearest examples after a CUSEF-organized trip: “The Chinese state has played a central role in creating, supporting and expanding businesses here.” Rohde continued: “Those successes show that, for all the attacks from American politicians on
Matthew Yglesias joked about wanting to “give Party flunkies notes” on improving their “propaganda.” Ezra Klein later credited China with buying America time during COVID.
Steve Chapman attacked Trump’s trade policies and published a now-deleted column making “the case for buying U.S. Olympic outfits from China.” Ronald Brownstein opposed Trump’s confrontation with Beijing.
Former NPR editor Marilyn Geewax later became a visiting professor at Tsinghua University, Xi Jinping’s alma mater and one of China’s most politically connected institutions.
The network also reached Joe Biden’s orbit. Bruce Stokes is married to Wendy Sherman, who became Biden’s deputy secretary of state and one of the administration’s most powerful foreign-policy officials.
The public saw the articles. It did not see the CCP-linked influence operation behind them.

WATCH: Mamdani Confronted About 9/11 Families Demanding He Be Banned from Sacred 25th Anniversary Ceremony, He Defiantly Vows to Attend Anyway
If he does I hope they throw rotten eggs at him
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/07/watch-mamdani-confronted-about-9-11-families-demanding/
Hmm I wonder why the families of 9/11 don’t want Mandami at the 25th anniversary memorial ceremony.
Could it be for any of the following reasons?
He campaigned with Hassan Piker who said US deserved 9/11
He endorsed Claire Valdez who also said America deserved 9/11
He endorsed Darializa Avila Chevalier who founded a group at Columbia with a stated goal of overthrowing Western Civilization
He sympathized with the Boston Marathon bombers before the murdered bodies were even cold?
His dad has justified “suicide bombing” (like the ones in 9/11) as “first and foremost a category of soldier”.
Mandami has refused to condemn the phrase “Globalize the Intifada” which is exactly what 9/11 was
During his mayoral campaign he took a smiling picture with his arm around Iman Siraj Wahhaj who was accused of being one of the co-conspirators of the 1993 world trade center bombing
He has said he wanted to defund the police about a million times and demonized law enforcement
Yeah I wonder why the families don’t want him there.
The bigger question is how the hell did we get here in the 1st place?
Ps – All the above is readily accessible with a quick google search.
He hasnt hid who he is.

BREAKING:
NY MAYOR MAMDANI HOSTS THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD
Mayor Zohran Mamdani just sat down for a “productive meeting” with MAS NY, MAS Brooklyn, and the MAS Youth Center (aka – THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD OPERATING IN AMERICA)
This is the same Muslim American Society (MAS) that produced and platforms Abdullah Akl, the Within Our Lifetime leader who stood on October 7, 2025 – the second anniversary in the streets of Manhattan and declared they “didn’t act enough” and will “show up stronger than the first October 7.”
REMEMBER This invitation to a Jihadi organization steeped in Muslim Brotherhood and open anti-Jewish activism comes days after a Jewish man was stabbed on the Upper West Side by an attacker screaming “Allahu Akbar.”
This is the same Akl who led crowds chanting for Hamas to “strike, strike Tel Aviv,” who celebrates intifada, and who operates openly under the MAS banner while spewing open contempt for Jews and non-Muslims.
MAS is not some benign community group. They were founded in 1993 as the public American arm of the Muslim Brotherhood. Brotherhood members built it. Its own leaders admitted ~45% of active members were Ikhwan.
It trains on Hassan al-Banna and Sayyid Qutb. Internal Brotherhood documents discuss “grand Jihad” to destroy Western civilization from within.
Its political arm under Mahdi Bray spent years defending Holy Land Foundation (Hamas financiers), Abdurrahman Alamoudi, Sami Al-Arian, and a parade of others tied to designated ISLAMIC terrorist groups
Now Mamdani – who before taking office regularly showed up at WOL rallies and led their chants – is hosting the very network that incubates this hatred.
Their wish list? Protected prayer times and spaces in public schools, an end to “repression” of pro-Palestinian speech and SJPs (the same speech that includes October 7 celebration and calls for more), more “youth spaces,” and the disbanding of the NYPD unit that has to deal with the street violence these TERROR groups bring.
This is not outreach. This is a deliberate middle finger to every non-Muslim New Yorker and a green light for the next escalation against Jews after the terror they just cheered.
The mayor is not merely tolerating the enemy within – he is seating them at the table and asking how he can help.
NEW YORK CITY HAS FALLEN TO ISLAM!
WHY IS THE BROTHERHOOD STILL OPERATIONAL IN AMERICA AND SPREAD ACROSS ALL 50 STATES!?
