Israel is worried about Ebrahim 'the
Butcher' Raisi, Iran's new president
Posted By: DVC, 6/22/2021 3:12:28 PM
In the last two days, three interesting stories have emerged from the Middle East. The first story is about Ebrahim "the Butcher" Raisi's election as president in Iran; the second is Israel's announcement that this election forces it to protect itself against this butcher; and the third is news that Iran's sole nuclear power plant abruptly shut down. The first and second stories are quite obviously connected. The real question is whether the third story is a promise of things to come or is just a coincidence. That Raisi was going to be president is no surprise to regular American Thinker readers.

A New Jersey school board has reversed plans to remove all holiday names from their school calendar after parents expressed outrage at an emergency meeting on the decision.
The Randolph Board of Education voted 8-1 Monday to reinstate the holidays after dozens of members of the community voiced outrage during the public comment portion of the meeting.
Tom Tatem, a Randolph Township father of four who created a petition demanding school board members resign, and James Jacobi, a Randolph Township father of three, told "Fox & Friends" Tuesday that the victory should be a lesson in transparency for towns across America.

The man allegedly seen in viral video stealing a garbage bag full of items as he rode a bike through a San Francisco Walgreens location was nabbed over the weekend â while he was "clearing shelves" at a different drug store, officials have announced.
Jean Lugo-Romero was arrested around 8:30 a.m. Saturday after officers spotted him entering a store on Haight Street, San Francisco Police Department said in a recent press release. At the time, police officers who recognized him followed Lugo-Romero, 40, into the drug store "to find him clearing shelves of cosmetics and placing the merchandise into a duffel bag,"
Don Surber posted an amazing pair of maps yesterday, showing the way that federalism is working to enable citizens to defend themselves with firearms. While the federal Constitution guarantees the right to bear arms, states regulate firearms licensing, and in the past 35 years, a landslide of states has recognized the right to carry a firearm. Check out the night and day contrast between 1986 and 2021.

I have despised Nicolle Wallace ever since I learned of the ways she sabotaged the vice presidential run of Sarah Palin, whom she was supposedly helping run for national office. In my book, she is a vile snake. Since then, she has gone as fully left as David Brock, another onetime conservative who went to the dark side, trying for years to get Rush Limbaugh thrown off the air, destroy Fox News, and discredit every conservative.
Wallace's show on MSNBC thrived while there was the Trump presidency to attack and spew hatred at. But it turns out that without Trump, not too many people want to watch her.
As I have learned the hard way, the science behind climate change has no more predictive real-world value than the science behind COVID. When put to the test, scientists cannot tell you what will happen next year, let alone next century, but that does not stop them from pretending they can.
Three years ago, my new neighbor here on Lake Erie asked if I wanted to go in with him on a seawall. Having spent thirty summers on the Rust Belt Riviera, I politely declined. As I explained, on only one occasion during those years had waves lapped against even the base of my heavily vegetated ten-foot bank.
The damage done by probability blindness

As Bishop Joseph Butler said in 1736, "probability is the very guide of life."
The coronavirus has generated more blind fear than perhaps any other event in recorded history. That fear is blind because it ignores easily calculated probabilities.
The reported coronavirus deaths in the U.S. now stand at six hundred thousand. The population of the U.S. is approximately 330 million. When you divide deaths by the population, the number is less than two-tenths of one percent. As catastrophes go, that is a relatively small number.
There is a wide disparity of coronavirus deaths among age groups. That fact has been deliberately ignored
A community in Atlanta has decided to separate from the city and create its own police force. Bill White, the Buckhead City Committee CEO, said the decision comes as crime in Atlanta has skyrocketed and police are not being properly funded.
White told Bill Hemmer on "America's Newsroom" that he estimates nearly 80 percent of his community will vote in favor of the separation.
"We have two bills in the Georgia legislature dropping in January to decide this referendum ballot," White said.
"We filed our divorce papers at the city of Atlanta, and our divorce is final."
White said Atlanta Mayor Keisha Bottomsâ policies have emboldened criminals

Dr. Soumya Swaminathan, the Chief Scientist at the World Health Organization, has been served legal notice of a suit against her by the Indian Bar Association for spreading false information about the drug ivermectin. Swaminathan is the author of more than 350 peer-reviewed publications and book chapters. A Foreign Fellow of the U.S. National Academy of Medicine, she is also a Fellow of all three of Indiaâs science academies.
Within the WHO, the role of the science division, which she heads, is to ensure the organization âstays ahead of the curve and leverages advances in science and technology for public health and clinical care, as well as ensuring that the norms
Nickelodeon always had edgy cartoons for the older set (see, e.g., Ren and Stimpy), but there was a time when you could rely on it for sweet, simple programming aimed at pacifying the three- to five-year-olds while Mom tried to get dinner ready. Of late, though, Nickelodeon has been bringing that edginess to the preschool set, culminating, this year, in the station's going all out to ensure that the pre-kindergarten crowd learned about pansexuals and the magical LGBT rainbow. It must have come as a surprise to the woke college graduates staffing Nickelodeon that parents dislike the new pedophile-esque edge to the programming,
A massive surge in COVID vaccine deaths
9 replies
A month ago, Tucker Carlson raised concerns over the unusual number of deaths associated with the COVID vaccines. Prominent "fact-checkers" immediately scrambled to discredit these concerns as "misleading" and "lacking in context." FactCheck.org even went on to say, "it's wrong to suggest that reported deaths in the VAERS System database were all caused by vaccines," but Tucker Carlson never made this claim.
The news site Revolver provided context with a graph that showed an astonishing 3,000% spike in vaccine-related deaths. Unfortunately, the article did not provide a link to the source, and the "Open VAERS" website is cumbersome to navigate.
The cover-up of the probability that COVID-19 was deliberately created in the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) has had profound consequences for the entire world, preventing early detection and countermeasures, as well as derailing informed research.
One key element of that cover-up was the hiding of the fact that the Wuhan lab was working on bats because the virus was a variant of an existing bat-borne virus. The cover story, that a wet market led to the dispersal of COVID-19, would have looked awfully weak had it been known that the WIV was creating new viruses from bats. Both the World Health Organization and Peter Daszak

The Washington Post has been branded 'neoracist,' and as promoting a 'pseudoreligious movement' for the latest episode of its podcast series urging readers to hold 'white accountability groups' and feel 'deep shame' over their race.
Its series, hosted by Nicole Ellis and called the New Normal, launched last spring, originally to discuss the coronavirus pandemic. The podcast shifted to conversations about race after the death of George Floyd last year.
New Normal's latest episode, launched on Friday, discusses how white people can combat white supremacy, among them were forming so-called 'white accountability groups.'

Black people represented the largest increase in traffic deaths last year than any other racial group, even as Americans drove less overall due to the pandemic, according to recently released data. (Snip) Along with the systemic nature of this problem, Gladney pointed out that social racism also plays a role in the rising number of traffic fatalities. A 2017 study from the University of Nevada found that drivers are less likely to slow down or stop for Black pedestrians than they are for white ones.
Cornell University has introduced an astronomy course to explore the connection between the term black holes and âracial blacknessâ â proof, say critics, that even the hard sciences arenât immune to universal âracial hysteria.âThe course, titled âBlack Holes: Race and the Cosmos,â uses work from black studies theorists, artists and fiction writers to challenge âconventional wisdomâ about the role that race plays in astronomy.âConventional wisdom would have it that the âblackâ in black holes has nothing to do with race. Surely there can be no connection between the cosmos and the idea of racial blackness. Can there?â reads the college catalog description.

Retailer Ikea is under fire after one of its stores reportedly sent out a lunch menu for a Juneteenth celebration that is said to have featured certain dishes that perpetuate racial stereotypes. An Atlanta Ikea store sent a letter to employees last week to inform them of the celebration, which allegedly included a note about a "special menu" including items like fried chicken, watermelon and other foods with ties to racism, as reported by local CBS affiliate. The meal was intended as an internal celebration for store workers, not for customers. A spokesperson for Ikea told FOX Business that to
Last week, the star made headlines when she wrote an op-ed for MarketWatch in which she suggested that the American flag be redesigned, as the current design has become "tattered, dated, divisive, and incorrect," alleging that it has "replaced" the confederate flag as a symbol of racism and hate.
Reactions to the "I Try" singer's suggestion were mixed, but certainly caused a stir on social media, and now, in an interview with TMZ, Gray has continued to defend her criticism and expanded on her call for a redesign.
Educators around the country have come out to condemn a 'Dismantling Racism in Mathematics' program which tells teachers not to push students to find the correct answers to math problems because doing so promotes white supremacy.
The program is centered around a workbook for teachers entitled 'A Pathway to Equitable Math Instruction' which asserts that America's education system â even mathematics instruction â reinforces the dominant power structures of white colonizers.
Grading students, asking them to show their work, requiring participation and even pushing them to get the right answer are depicted in the workbook as harmful to minorities.
On the eve of a stinging defeat for Democrats Barack Obama has surfaced. Their efforts to ram an election rigging bill that is dishonestly being marketed as âvoting rightsâ legislation has run up against a Senate filibuster. Obama is demanding that the âFor The People Actâ be passed before the 2022 midterms. The former president is almost certainly pulling Joe Bidenâs strings. His doddering front man is advancing a decidedly anti-American set of policies that would fundamentally transform the nation. Thatâs why he slithered out to claim that the legislation must be passed in order to protect âdemocracyâ. This term has been hijacked by the usurpers and now means

In a congressional hearings, Admiral Gilday was asked by Representative Jim Banks to denounce Kendiâs view that white people criminals - that they created the AIDS virus to kill black people. The Admiral refused to do so, dismissing it as a âcherry pickedâ quote about which he had no other opinion.
President Biden has unveiled his reformed child tax credits which will see American families paid up to $3,600 to help raise each of their children.The raise, unveiled as part of Biden's $1.8 trillion American Families Rescue Plan, will see families with children aged under six receive a monthly payment of $300 per child - equivalent to $3,600 - in 2021.Families with children aged between six and 17 will receive $250 a month, or $3,000 over the course of a year. Cash will automatically start hitting the bank accounts of families who have filed 2019 and 2020 federal taxes from July 15.
Citing experts at the Meedan Digital Health Lab , Reuters Fact Check vigorously asserts that the spike proteins induced by the COVID vaccines do not kill or damage cells.
Perhaps so, but something from the vaccines is causing deformations and apparent inflammation in red blood cells, as evidenced by images from microscopy photos. Images of blood cells taken before and after the vaccines can be seen starting about two minutes into the five-minute video. Postvaccine red blood cells exhibit rough instead of smooth edges, irregular shapes, and grouping together over time which is described as the âbeginning form of thrombosis,â or blood clots.

Rememer WAY back when President Trump had nations in the middle east signing peace and trade treaties with Israel and a real middle eastern peace solution seemed to on the horizon?
That was about a year ago. Now things look more like war in the middle east. The Dems can ruin things faster than can be imagined. And Joe supports the violent Iranians, helping them towards their nuclear weapons, while not supporting Israel.
