Should the US Intervene to Help Iranian Revolutionaries?

Nationwide protests have swept Iran for 12 days now and analysts agree that this movement is fundamentally different than previous cost-of-living or women’s rights-driven protests. According to the latest reporting, over 111 cities in Iran are rising up against the brutal Islamic regime of Ayatollah Khamenei after 47 years of oppression under the Islamic Republic and the regime has responded by declaring war on the people. According to multiple outlets and my own on-the-ground sources,

Democratic strategist Julian Epstein rebuked his own party on “2WAY TONIGHT” on Thursday for rhetoric he said effectively sanctioned violence against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
An ICE agent fatally shot a 37-year-old woman during a Wednesday operation in Minneapolis, Minnesota, when she accelerated her car forward as agents surrounded her vehicle. Epstein said on the show that he believed inflammatory remarks from Democratic politicians about ICE contributed to the incident.
The decision by Brazil’s Federal Council of Medicine to open a formal investigation into the healthcare received by former President Jair Bolsonaro is neither a routine administrative procedure nor a hasty reaction to political noise.
It is a serious institutional act, undertaken following formal complaints that raise doubts about whether the Brazilian state ensured adequate medical care for a patient with a complex and widely known clinical history.
The initiative comes from the highest regulatory body of the medical profession and occurs at a particularly sensitive moment, both due to the personal situation of the individual involved and the country’s political climate.
She really doesn’t have much choice. President Trump has shown the Venezuelan government how the U.S. can put a complete stranglehold on the South American country if they do not adhere to the transition plans of Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the enforcer.
Following the U.S. capture of Nicolás Maduro, Venezuela’s new government under Delcy Rodríguez has begun releasing political prisoners in a bid to foster unity and peace. The change in Venezuelan politics comes directly as the result of President Trump using the military to block oil shipments, the major source of revenue for the nation.
The move seems to indicate a potential shift in Venezuela’s political landscape,
Fledgling Mayor Zohran Mamdani is already facing blowback for his tardy, halfhearted response to back-to-back police shootings – including friction with NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch, The Post has learned.
Mamdani – who backed off his ardent “defund the police” stance during the mayoral campaign – waited 16 hours before he released a statement addressing the bloody pair of police-involved shootings, despite being briefed by Tisch right after each unfolded roughly six hours apart Thursday.
The murky Friday morning statement further stoked fury by emphasizing an “internal investigation” would follow the shootings, which some insiders believed implied wrongdoing by NYPD officers, when such probes are par for the course, police sources said.

Republican Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.), a close ally of President Trump, is predicting the Cuban government will be overthrown “this year” or “next year” as the U.S. blockade of oil exports from Venezuela is ramping up pressure on the communist Cuban regime.
“I think it will probably happen maybe this year, maybe next year. It’s going to happen. I thought Maduro would be out by Christmas. It took a little bit longer. So who knows when it’s going to happen, but we’re gonna get democracy,” Scott predicted in an interview with NewsNation’s Blake Burman.
Dozens of Republicans broke ranks and joined Democrats to override two of President Trump’s vetoes, though the effort ultimately fell short.
Thirty-five Republicans voted to override a veto on a bill that would have funded a pipeline to deliver clean water to southeastern Colorado, while 24 Republicans supported a veto override on a bill to grant the Miccosukee Tribe authority to manage part of the Florida Everglades.However, the House ultimately voted to uphold both of Trump’s vetoes, given the required two-thirds threshold for an override.
The Republicans who voted to override the veto on the Florida tribe bill were:
The House on Thursday failed to override President Trump’s vetoes of two previously uncontroversial bills concerning a Colorado water project and expanding lands of a tribe in Florida.
The move showcases House Republicans’ loyalty to the president and support for his political battles, as the vetoes had been seen as instances of Trump acting on political grudges.A vote to override Trump’s veto on a Colorado water project — a bill spearheaded by Trump ally Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) — failed 248-177-1, with 35 Republicans voting with Democrats to override the veto and one Republican, Rep. Nancy Mace (S.C.), voting present.
As the California Coastal Commission agreed this month to keep the state’s last nuclear energy plant open for at least five more years, the Trump administration announced federal funding for the development of small modular nuclear reactors.
The Diablo Canyon Power Plant in San Luis Obispo Power Plant, the only remaining nuclear energy facility in a state, was saved this month from an imminent death when the Coastal Commission voted to issue the permit the plant needs to obtain a federal license to operate for another 20 years. The twin-reactor site has been providing safe, clean and reliable electrical power for four decades.

Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) is retiring from Congress after serving 45 years in the lower chamber.
“I did not want to be one of those members who clearly stayed, outstayed his or her ability to do the job,” Hoyer, 86, told The Washington Post in an interview published late Wednesday. The Maryland Democrat said on social platform X he would be making an announcement on Thursday morning on the House floor, which is anticipated to be when he’ll officially announce his retirement.
Hoyer is the latest House Democrat to announce he’ll be forgoing reelection and his announcement is notable—
Dramatic video purportedly shows the moment an ICE agent opened fire and killed a 37-year-old woman who attempted to barrel her SUV into the officer’s path in Minneapolis Wednesday morning — as the mayor furiously demanded the agency “get the f–k out” of the city.
In the footage being widely circulated on social media from varying angles, ICE officers approach a plum-colored Honda Pilot and order the driver out of the vehicle after she blocked the path of their truck.
As one of the agents attempts to open the door, she quickly throws the car into reverse before trying to speed forward in the direction of another agent in her path.
Pakistan has repeatedly demonstrated its unreliability as a strategic partner.
Pakistan's leadership unfortunately prefers Iran to the United States — not to mention Israel. Unfortunately, the US cannot trust Pakistan — especially in Gaza.
Pakistan has, to this day, never recognized Israel. Pakistan was also the first country to recognize the Islamic Republic of Iran after Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini established it in 1979. Iran had been the first country to recognize Pakistan upon its founding in 1947.
The most recent example of Pakistan's close alliance with Iran emerged during the June 2025 Twelve-Day War — a direct armed conflict between Iran and a coalition of Israel and the United States. Throughout the hostilities,

Thursday on CBS’s “The Takeout,” Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) said FBI Director Kash Patel and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem could not be trusted to run a fair investigation into the Minnesota woman fatally shot by an ICE agent in Minneapolis on Wednesday.
Schiff said, “Well, I was struck by a few things. First of all, it’s horrifying to watch. And to think about this 37-year-old woman, drops her kid off at school, not involved in protest activity or anything, seems to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. But at one point, she’s waving other cars to come on past, trying to make sure that she’s not
Philadelphia sheriff Rochelle Billal slammed U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement as "made up, fake, wannabe law enforcement," asserting that ICE's actions violate both "legal law" and "moral law." Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner warned that law enforcement officials who commit crimes will be arrested and charged. "So I'm with the DA, Bilal declared. "You don't want this smoke. Cuz we will bring it to you," Bilal said. In a dig at President Donald Trump she warned that "the criminal in the White House would not be able to keep" ICE agents from heading to jail.

Renee Nicole Good, the mom who was killed by a federal agent after veering her car toward him, was an anti-ICE “warrior” and was part of a group of activists who worked to “document and resist” the federal immigration crackdown in Minnesota, The Post can reveal.
Good, who moved to the city last year, linked up with the anti-ICE activists through her 6-year-old son’s woke charter school, which boasts that it puts “social justice first” and prioritizes “involving kids in political and social activism,” multiple local sources said.
“She was a warrior. She died doing what was right,” a mother named Leesa, whose child attends the same school,
Tim Walz threatens civil war

This afternoon, Tim Walz called a press conference in which he threatened civil war. It was one of the most extraordinary performances by an American political leader since the Confederates seceded in 1861 (snip)We have never seen anything like it, not just in Minnesota but anywhere in America, since the Civil War: a governor threatening to call out the National Guard to forcibly resist federal authority and prevent the enforcement of our national laws. George Wallace didn’t do that. Ross Barnett didn’t do that. Walz can’t seriously think that the Minnesota National Guard can militarily resist federal authority.
Renee Nicole Good’s wife was antagonizing ICE agents and even urged her to “drive baby, drive” just moments before the fatal shooting in Minneapolis, according to shocking new video taken on the agent’s own cell phone.
The video — filmed by agent Jonathan Ross on Wednesday and obtained by Alpha News — shows the heated interaction between the Goods in the lead-up to the shooting.
Renee can be seen behind the driver’s seat of the plum-colored Honda Pilot, while her wife, Rebecca, stands in the street next to the car. A dog is also sitting in the back seat, peering out an open window.

Minneapolis Public Schools (MPS) will give students the option of learning from home through February 12 following the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good by an ICE agent, according to local media citing the president of a teachers union. The school district, which has an enrolment of about 29,000 students, had previously said there would be no classes for the rest of the week “due to safety concerns” after Wednesday’s shooting. According to Fox 9, Marcia Howard, the president of the Minneapolis Federation of Educators (MFE), wrote on Facebook that students will be given the option to learn from home
The American people are demanding accountability, but the Department of Justice under Pam Bondi is still dragging its feet.
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer is publicly blasting the Department of Justice under Attorney General Pam Bondi after investigative reporter Catherine Herridge highlighted a viral chart circulating on X that exposes a jaw-dropping lack of accountability — zero arrests tied to some of the biggest political scandals of the last decade.
The chart lays out a long list of scandals that dominated headlines for years, from the Russia collusion narrative and Benghazi to election fraud and the Biden autopen scandal, and they all share the same outcome: zero arrests.
The Minnesota incident

As William Buckley used to say, herewith a few thoughts…mine on the death of Renee Nicole Good and related events.
Minnesota’s state and local authorities — Governor Walz, Attorney General Ellison, and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, to take only the leading figures — have all but explictly called for resistance to federal law enforcement in Minnesota. Walz, for example, has referred to ICE as the Gestapo and called for “a firewall” against it in Minnesota. Walz and fellow Democrats support a form of what was called “massive resistance” when Senator Harry Byrd sought to block the integration of public schools in the era of Southern segregation.
The Imimigration and Customs Enforcement
As an assistant professor at Columbia University, Abdul El-Sayed said he held dual U.S.-Egyptian citizenship. El-Sayed is now running for a Michigan Senate seat, and his campaign says that was a mistake—he's not an Egyptian citizen and never has been.
El-Sayed was born in Michigan to Egyptian émigrés. He graduated from Columbia's College of Physicians and Surgeons in 2014 and joined Columbia's Mailman School of Public Health the same year. Around that time, El-Sayed published his résumé on an academic networking site. It lists his "citizenships" as "USA, Egypt." El-Sayed's résumé was removed from the site he published it to, Academia, after the Washington Free Beacon sent it to the campaign.
Woke colleges and universities across the country are being forced to do with less and are slashing thousands of jobs. This is a good thing.
Higher education in America has become fat and bloated. At some schools, there are almost as many administrators as there are students. And people still wonder why tuition has gone up so much in recent decades.
There is no need for an ‘assistant vice president of campus diversity’ yet many schools have them. Maybe they should start cutting those positions first. A new report from Inside Higher Education says the university system is bleeding jobs.
The family of Renee Nicole Good has received more than $1.5 million in donations after she was shot dead by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent. Officer Jonathan 'Jon' Ross shot Good three times in quick succession on Wednesday afternoon after she allegedly ignored ICE agents' demands to get out of her SUV. A GoFundMe campaign created to support her wife Rebecca and Good's three children, including her six-year-old son who is now orphaned, has amassed more nearly 38,000 donations in just two days.
