pen the Denver Post and you might experience intellectual whiplash.

Iran: Scalpel and Hammer

Wth brilliant intelligence and close U.S. and Israeli cooperation and coordination, Operation Epic fury is systematically dismantling the terrorist regime of Iran’s ayatollahs. And as if in a game of chess, the war has reshaped the Middle East, (a consistent source of hostilities), into a more peaceful and orderly part of the world. It has also demolished fears of Russian and Chinese intervention on behalf of the regime. (Russia’s too broke and China’s grasp is less than its reach.) Indeed China, which depended on Iran and Venezuelan oil, is unlikely to make good for a while if ever on its threats to occupy Taiwan.
A quick reminder of Iran’s anti-U.S.
Welcome to "The New Monroe Doctrine," where I give you an update on what's going on in the Western Hemisphere, south of our border, especially as it relates to the United States.
China's been embedding itself in Latin America and the Caribbean for years. Decades, even. We know this. We know that during four years of whatever you want to call the Joe Biden administration, it got even worse. While Congress was arguing over pronouns and gender ideology, and the president was alienating our allies in the region, like Nayib Bukele; bending over for our adversaries, like Nicolás Maduro; and, well, probably taking lots of naps, China was setting up
t's bad enough that Rep. Eric Swalwell, who's running for governor of California, doesn't live here, as court filings allege.
Now it's coming to light that he doesn't seem to have much loyalty to the country it's actually in.
He's taken, and continuing to take, big campaign cash from a lawyer with abnormally strong ties to the Communist Party of China.
According to Fox News:
Rep. Eric Swalwell's, D-Calif., gubernatorial campaign continues to be bankrolled by Keliang "Clay" Zhu despite concerns over his ties to China and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
Zhu donated another $25,000 to Swalwell's campaign earlier this month after he had already donated $5,000 to Swalwell’s gubernatorial campaign in November
From Loyal Opposition to Sabotage

I was raised to believe that democracy came with duties as well as rights. You voted. You accepted the outcome. You argued your case, made your peace with defeat when it came, and waited for the next election. Politics was competitive, sometimes bruising, but it was not meant to be an existential threat. The opposition’s role was to hold the government to account, not to weaken the country for political gain.
That older civic instinct now feels rather quaint.
In theory, the idea of the “loyal opposition” remains central to democratic life. But in practice, it is disappearing before our eyes. We still have opposition parties, of course. What we increasingly
So I gather “mogging,” and/or “mogged” is the new hip term for . . . something . . . among the Gen Z or Millennials, like “flexing” a decade ago. And it seems “maxxing” goes with it somehow. I can’t keep up. But somehow I suspect both terms can be used creatively with Gruesom Newsom, whose 2028 presidential campaign is already over, though he won’t know this for another couple years. Has there ever been a more phony person in politics? Yes, I know there are many contenders, but he has to be at the top of the heap by now. Meanwhile, the one and only job
“Green” Suicide

As badly as “green” mythology has damaged the United States, it has been even more devastating to a number of other countries, including Great Britain. Thus, we have this cri de cœur: “Britain’s industry ‘on cliff edge’ over cost of electricity.” It is becoming impossible to sustain basic industries–the ones most essential to any nation’s security–in the U.K.
Britain is committing a “national act of self-harm” through its high energy prices and risks losing its few remaining electricity-hungry industries, the chief executive of the Society of Chemical Industry has warned.
Sharon Todd said the country’s industry was “standing on the edge of a cliff”, facing electricity prices among the highest
President Donald Trump’s 2026 State of the Union was one for the ages, and the night is still producing glorious fruit.
Trump held nothing back as he stealthily revealed the Democratic Party’s current “America last” position on the world stage. His repeated shaming enraged his political foes to the point where Reps. Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib began screaming like children.
Now it’s been revealed what Talib was mimicking while Republicans were patriotically chanting “U.S.A.! U.S.A.!” and it’s as predictable as you’d expect. (X) Seriously.
At least that’s what the live clip looks like, which can be viewed below:
Could things get any worse for Minnesota's elected officials?
In just nine years, autism-related spending in Minnesota ballooned from roughly $1 million to a jaw-dropping $343 million. That is not a typo. That is a more than 34,000 percent increase. Most of that surge happened under Democrat Governor Tim Walz. (X) We are not talking about a modest policy expansion. We are not talking about inflation. We are not even talking about a doubling or tripling of a program. We are talking about a spending rocket ship fueled by taxpayer dollars with almost no serious public alarm from the people who are supposed to guard the vault.

President Trump named Nigeria a “Country of Particular Concern (CPC)” in October 2025 because of the persecution of Christians, which is rampant in the West African country, and the regularly occurring extremist violence.
He tasked Reps. Riley M. Moore (WV-02) and Tom Cole (OK-04) with the job of detailing what exactly is going on over there and what we can do to stop it. On Monday, the congressmen handed in their homework: (X) In a statement posted on Riley’s website, he said that countless hours of work had gone into preparing the report:

From a Tuesday DOJ press release:
A Manchester resident has been charged in connection with a shooting that occurred over the weekend in Pittsburg, New Hampshire, U.S. Attorney Erin Creegan announces.
Blu Zeke Daly, a/k/a Cullan Zeke Daly, 26, was charged by complaint with one count of attempted murder of a federal officer and one count of assaulting a federal officer with a deadly weapon. Daly is currently obtaining medical treatment at a New Hampshire hospital and is under guard.
The arrest of Daly was covered by local news station WMUR. According to the report,
Another Joe Biden FBI Scandal
7 replies
The extent to which the Department of Justice under Merrick Garland was weaponized to serve the Democratic Party is a scandal that is still unraveling. The FBI was particularly turned to partisan ends, a scandal for which there has yet been no accounting.
It has most recently come to light that in 2023, the FBI tapped the phones secretly subpoenaed phone records of both Kash Patel–now, ironically, the Director of the FBI–and Susie Wiles, now the President’s Chief of Staff. This was all, I take it, part of the Democratic Party’s well-organized effort to prevent Donald Trump from being re-elected President in 2024.
That the FBI wiretapped Patel and Wiles is disgraceful,

Kamala Harris has joined other far-left Dems by stating that she doesn’t support regime change in Iran.
The former vice president posted her critique of Operation Epic Fury and President Donald Trump shortly after Saturday’s attack began.
Harris described the attack as “a war American people do not want.”
Her statement comes despite Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei being wiped out in his fortified compound along with 40 top Iranian security and regime figures. “Let me be clear: I am opposed to a regime-change war in Iran, and our troops are being put in harm’s way for the sake of Trump’s war of choice,
Last week Tucker Carlson met with President Trump in the White House where he urged the US President to hold back on attacking Iran. Tucker made the request last week during his visit with President Trump in the Oval Office.
Here is video of Tucker Carlson entering the White House for an earlier meeting with President Trump. President Trump ignored his advice and took out Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei and his top officials in a military strike on Saturday.
Later today, Jon Karl reported that Tucker called the US strikes on Iraan “disgusting and evil.”
Former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad — a polarizing hardliner who became the face of Tehran’s nuclear defiance and incendiary anti-Israel rhetoric — was reportedly killed in Israeli airstrikes during Saturday’s strikes inside Iran.
A report by the Israeli media outlet Ma’ariv stated that Ahmadinejad was under house arrest at the time and was killed in a targeted strike on his home.Ahmadinejad served as Iran’s sixth president from 2005 to 2013, rising from relative obscurity as mayor of Tehran to defeat establishment figure Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani in a surprise 2005 runoff.
Critics at home and abroad described him as a confrontational ideologue whose economic management —
Operations are still underway over and around Iran on Sunday, and the United States and Israel are well on their way to not only owning the skies over Iran, but the waters around it. On that morning, President Trump took to his Truth Social account to inform us that at least nine Iranian navy craft have now found new berths at the bottom of the ocean. [Tweet]
The president wrote:
I have just been informed that we have destroyed and sunk 9 Iranian Naval Ships, some of them relatively large and important. We are going after the rest —

Although there’s been a reduction in the number of ICE agents in Minnesota, community activists say the fear of ICE still prevails and restaurants continue to lose business. That’s why dozens of people gathered to eat at several immigrant-owned restaurants along Central Avenue in northeast Minneapolis on Sunday afternoon. Some of the businesses included El Taco Riendo, Holy Land and The Golden Nuts. “The reason that we wanted to do this action was to show support for immigrant businesses that are really struggling even after the supposed draw-down,” Jae Yates of Twin Cities Coalition for Justice. Yates was one of
Americans woke up Saturday morning to the news that the United States and Israel unleashed a coordinated strike, dubbed Operation Epic Fury, leveling key Iranian military sites and taking out much of the regime’s top brass. Among the dead is none other than Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
It was a good day for the Middle East and the world.
Except for the Democrats.
Almost instantly, Democrats in Washington started howling, calling the strikes “illegal,” “dangerous,” and “reckless.” They claimed that President Donald Trump didn’t consult Congress. You’d think they’d be cheering the demise of one of the world’s most dangerous tyrants, but no. For the left, this wasn’t a victory against terror.
The conflict between the United States, Israel and the Islamist regime in Iran could result in terror blowback across Europe, German security officials have warned.
The chairman of the Bundestag’s Parliamentary Control Committee (PKGr), which oversees Germany’s intelligence services, warned on Sunday in comments reported by Die Welt that “retaliatory measures” by pro-Iranian regime terrorists, including “sleeper cells in Europe”, could not be ruled out.
Meanwhile, a spokesman for the Ministry of Interior said, “The Iranian regime has repeatedly demonstrated in the past that it carries out its terror beyond its own borders.
Iran Raises the ‘Red Flag of Revenge’

Over Jamkaran Mosque After Death of Ayatollah Khamenei 18 replies
The regime of the imams is trying to show defiance after the crushing blow of Khamenei’s death.
While many observers look for ‘offramps’ for the US, Israel and Iran to cease the war that’s setting the whole Middle East on fire, signs on the ground suggest the hostilities may go on for a long time.
Following the death of its supreme spiritual leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iranians have raised the ‘red flag of revenge’ above the Jamkaran Mosque, located in the city of Qom. “According to several media reports, a red banner, which symbolizes justice and revenge in Shiite tradition, was seen atop the Jamkaran Mosque.
The death of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in a US airstrike has brought new urgency to the question of who will become Iran’s new Supreme Leader.
Hassan Khomeini, the grandson of the Islamic Republic's founder Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, is a prominent figure in these deliberations and is seen as a relative moderate within the establishment.
Mr Khomeini, 53, holds a symbolically important role as custodian of his grandfather's mausoleum and has close ties to reformist politicians.
Some politicians inside Iran have seen him as a rival to hardliners who gained sway under Ayatollah Khamenei, notably his son, Mojtaba.

Most of us are familiar with the term “the fog of war” to describe the gauzy details that emerge in the breaking news environment of an outbreak of hostilities. Originally, it had been a description applied to military matters, but in the past generation or so, it has expanded to include the information pathways that emerge when conflicts erupt. What we have sadly come to expect is that news outlets are often the ones operating a fog machine as news breaks.This being a common occurrence, and also due to the sensitivities attached to the activity,
The UK has agreed to a US request to use British military bases for "defensive" strikes on Iranian missile sites, Sir Keir Starmer has said.
But the prime minister said the UK had learned lessons from the "mistakes of Iraq", and was not involved in the initial strikes on Iran and "will not join offensive action now".
Sir Keir said the basis of the decision to accept the US request was the "collective self-defence" of allies and protecting British lives, accusing Iran of pursuing a "scorched-earth strategy".
The BBC understands the US is likely to use RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire and Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean for strikes on Iranian missile sites.

What is fresh hell is this?
The media's coverage was terrible when Trump once turned Qasem Soleimani into ash, so it’s no surprise they react similarly to the death of the late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. He was killed in the first wave of airstrikes Saturday morning, which effectively weakened the Iranian regime.
So, of course, the major publications are posting obituaries about this clown, which is a waste of ink and space, but whatever. If you didn’t know any better, you’d think you were reading the Babylon Bee, an elite satire site, but no—this is the real deal from The Washington Post.
