1: She has family in Iran still that she talks to every day.

Her: All my family, all my friends, they are in Iran. I still can talk to them sometimes when they have internet. And none of these guys, none of them, they are Iranian. We are. I'm Iranian. I know better than all of this.

People in Iran, they're happy. They're fucking happy because 47 years they fought against this regime. We tried, we tried to protest, to change this regime. But we couldn't because they killed more than 50,000 people just in two days, just in fucking two days.

So right now, the only way, the only way that we get off this regime is this war. So please, please just shut the fuck up if you don't know about my country. Don't talk about my country. That's it.

2. What do you think about what President Trump's strategy is? Do you approve of what he's doing?

Her: Yeah, definitely. Thank you, Trump. Really, thank you. He was the only one that he was brave, that he did that. We really appreciate that.

2: What do you say to these leftists who say that we shouldn't be involved in any other conflicts?

Her: I try to talk to them very calmly and explain it, what's happened to me and what's happened to all the Iranians in Iran. But they don't want to accept it because they have this ideology that they just should fight against Trump and Israel. But they don't open their eyes and see what's happening in Middle East.

It's not just about Iran. All the Muslims and all the Arab countries, they're suffering from Islamic Republic. You know, Islamic Republic helped the Bashar Assad to kill more than 500,000 Syrians. Islamic Republic did that. In Yemen, they helped the Houthis to kill more than 350,000 people. In Hezbollah, all that Hezbollah is proxies of Islamic Republic. They ruined the Middle East.

Why Muslim people, they don't fight against this regime? They should be the first people to fight against them I can't even believe. These guys, they never lived in Middle East. They never had this experience to live in country like that.

They rape us. They rape the girls in the prison. And I can't even believe how they let them to do this in fucking America. I don't know. Sorry.

2: Thank you.

1: She's very passionate.

2: Thank you.

None of the "no war"/pro-Regime protesters are actually Iranians. They're: Iraqi, Afghan or Syrian Muslim terrorists who support a worldwide regime; leftist retards who just blindly oppose anything and everything the US and Israel do; or paid actors from foreign money.

This is Gonna Backfire Bigly!

Shortly after Rep. Thomas Massie's loss in the Kentucky House GOP primary on Tuesday night, White House director of communications Steven Cheung posted on social media,

"Do not ever doubt President Trump and his political power. F--- around, find out."

Trump comms chief Steven Cheung just called someone a 'mouth breathing moron'

Bruen had written on X: “Not a single China expert. POTUS would normally have at least one NSC/State official to provide briefings.”

Cheung replied directly and wrote: “You have no idea what you’re talking about you slope-brained, mouth breathing moron. Stop calling yourself an expert in anything, aside from sucking. Anyone that hires you (not many!) should get an immediate refund and payment for wasting their time.”

I found a clip of Stephen Miller crashing out about the blowback Trump is receiving for colluding with a foreign country to buy Thomas Massie's seat. If you don't like Sneako then please find me a different clip. Who elected Stephen Miller? Someone tell him his face and voice hurts Trump. Actually, shhh. These folks are so out of touch don't waste your time.🤡

If they wanted Massie's vote they would have written a clean bill and not a sneaky bill. If they wanted Massie's vote, they wouldn't have threatened his staff with machine politics tactics like FBI/DOJ investigations. Trump harassed a duly elected congresssional representative. He threatened to primary him. Refused to allow him to attend White House Christmas events, etc

We support the representatives who stand on principle, even when it hurts their job. We support Thomas Massie.

Three-Star General Issues Red Alert About Musk’s Foreign Entanglements

Retired Lieutenant General Russel Honoré says the SpaceX CEO could be compromised by his business dealings in China.

A three-star U.S. Army general thinks that Elon Musk’s foreign business relationships could make him a significant threat to national security.

Retired Lieutenant General Russel Honoré argued in a Sunday New York Times column that the SpaceX CEO’s willingness to capitulate to Chinese demands over the years should make his recent influence within Trump’s circle all the more questionable.

Honoré referenced 2023 quotes from Musk’s DOGE buddy Vivek Ramaswamy to make his case. “I have no reason to think Elon won’t jump like a circus monkey when Xi Jinping calls in the hour of need,” Ramaswamy said in an interview. “It’s deeply concerning that @elonmusk met with China’s foreign minister yesterday to oppose decoupling and referred to the U.S. & Communist China as ‘conjoined twins,’” he wrote in another statement that year. “The U.S. needs leaders who aren’t in China’s pocket.”

Ramaswamy has since made amends with Musk, but his concerns still apply. Musk and SpaceX have already been flagged thrice by the Air Force, the Defense Department’s Office of Inspector General, and the undersecretary of defense for intelligence and security for failing to disclose his meetings with foreign leaders, something his current security clearance requires him to do. And his China business isn’t going anywhere either.

Musk has borrowed at least $1.4 billion from Chinese government–controlled banks to pay for his massive Tesla “gigafactory” in Shanghai. He borrowed this money knowing full well that China’s laws allow the Chinese Communist Party to demand information from any company doing business in China in exchange for doing business there—a huge red flag for Honoré.

“Mr. Musk’s business dealings in China could require him to hand over sensitive classified information, learned either through his business interests or his proximity to President-elect Donald Trump. No federal agency has accused him of disclosing such material, but as Mr. Ramaswamy put it, China has recognized that U.S. companies are fickle,” Honoré wrote. “Mr. Musk’s relationship with China’s leaders could prove a problem for America’s national security given that SpaceX has a near monopoly on the United States’ rocket launches … the last thing the United States needs is for China to potentially have an easier way of obtaining classified intelligence and national security information.”

This has drawn the ire of Democrats and Republicans alike. In 2022, Senator Marco Rubio accused Tesla of obstructing justice for the CCP, and in 2023 he introduced a bill to stop NASA and other federal agencies from giving contracts to companies connected to the Chinese Communist Party. Two Democratic senators very recently called for a probe into Musk’s “reliability as a government contractor and a clearance holder” because of his reported phone call with Vladimir Putin.

The line between civilian and elected official has become blurrier as Musk further cements himself as part of Trump’s inner circle. As Honoré wrote, the world’s richest man funding Trump’s return to the presidency “does not give the incoming White House the license to look the other way at the national security risks he may pose.”

An open letter to the U.S. Congress

IMPEACH TRUMP. AGAIN.

1 so far! Help us get to 5 signers!

Beginning Day 1 of Trump’s second administration, Congress must open an impeachment investigation based on the following grounds:

1. Violations of the Emoluments Clauses The Emoluments Clauses (U.S. Constitution, Article I, Section 9, Clause 8; and Article II, Section 1, Clause 7) prohibit presidents from profiting from foreign or domestic governments. The Founders understood these clauses to provide a critical safeguard against corruption, particularly corruption of the executive by foreign powers. Trump has violated these clauses by refusing to divest from his business holdings. At least five foreign governments pay a combined $2 million per month in fees for their units in Trump World Tower; and because all five of these foreign governments are currently paying Trump these monthly fees, Trump is in violation of the Foreign Emoluments Clause from the moment he took the oath of office.

2. Corrupt and Unlawful Campaign Practices Trump’s 2024 re-election campaign included violations such as offering regulatory favors to oil and gas executives for donations, coordinating unlawfully with super PACs, and accepting prohibited contributions from Elon Musk via X (formerly known as Twitter) and via Musk’s million-dollar “lottery” scheme that paid out prizes only to individuals who would publicly support Trump. He also engaged in racist, xenophobic rhetoric by referring to immigrants in Aurora, Colorado as “blood thirty criminals” from whom voters have to be “rescued”, threatened physical violence, including murder, against political opponents, a U.S. military commander, journalists, and protesters, and spread dangerous disinformation about U.S. hurricane disaster response among other things.

3. Abuse of Power and Obstruction of Justice Trump’s pardons for January 6 insurrectionists—including seditious conspirators—constitute an abuse of the pardon power. Trump himself engaged in insurrection on January 6, 2021, inciting hundreds of violent insurrectionists to storm the Capitol in order to try to overturn an election that he lost. His co-insurrectionists seized control of the Capitol, disrupted the peaceful transfer of power, assaulted law enforcement and journalists, vandalized the Capitol and individual congressional offices, and threatened the lives and safety of our elected officials and law enforcement. He has blocked investigations and accountability efforts, shielding himself and allies from the consequences of their actions in the insurrection. In the face of a president abusing his power, as he has done here, Congress has a responsibility to follow the mandate of Article II, Section 4 (the Impeachment Clause) of the US Constitution and initiate an impeachment inquiry.

Congress must act decisively: By initiating impeachment proceedings, Congress will uphold its constitutional duty to safeguard democracy and hold the president accountable. Failure to act risks setting a dangerous precedent and further eroding public trust. The time to act is now.
