Iran's Most Powerful Weapon

Original Article

Three weeks into a military engagement in Iran, a war Republicans will not call a war, the American and Israeli militaries have all but wiped out Iran's capacity to make war. We have killed their leadership, the replacement leaders, and militia members on the ground. We have destroyed their missile launchers and the factories in which they made the missiles. But Iran still has one of the most powerful weapons in the world on its side, and it is ruthlessly deploying it – the American press corps. "Families mourn as dead are laid to rest in Tehran," blared the front page, above the fold headline in the Athens Banner-Herald

Agree, the US press and elected Democrats are rooting for the United States to fail in this effort. You can see it in their comments and how they phrase the questions - negatively. I would doubt even a drop of oil that was recently purchased at these higher price points has even made it to a refinery to be turned into gasoline or any other fuel source. Yet, the fuel prices were increased as if it was immediate and watch how slow they reduce those prices when the Iran issue is resolved in the next few weeks (which is the most likely outcome).

Look at the Democrats...they habitually root against the United States: 1863 Copperhead Democrats; Rooting for Castro, Che, Mao, Ho during the Cold War; Jane Fonda, John Kerry, George McGovern undermining the Vietnam War, Teddy Kennedy giving secrets to the Soviets in 1984; Alger Hiss, Harry Dexter White during FDR and Truman Administration, cuddling Ortega, Chavez, and Maduro. 1991 trying to thwart Desert Storm from going through in the Senate, siding with Islamists continuously...AOC, Mamdani, Omar, Pressley, Tlaib...flooding the USA with 11 million illegals, there is good reason to call Democrats the PARTY OF TREASON...because they ARE.

#2: Excellent historical rundown. I would include Walter Duranty's Pulitzer-award-winning NYT coverup of the Ukrainian famine in the 1930s; apparently Walter had fallen in love with Uncle Joe Stalin. Also, "Ho" and "Jane Fonda" should go together (ha!). And one more: I think the press was "coddling" Ortega, Chavez and Maduro, not 'cuddling' with them. But then again, as I think about it, they would!!

As soon as I read the headline, I thought "American Lamestream Media". #1 said it very well. As soon as 'anything' happens and the 'futures' price of oil - the contract price for petroleum to be delivered what- THREE MONTHs from the sale date- the retail fuel prices here in the USA jump higher, then when the situation settles down, the retailers grudgingly and slowly lower the prices, a penny or two at a time, and milk as much CASH from American customers as the can. #2, don't forget the 'Rat president who abandoned the Shah of Iran back in 1979-1980 and got this whole mess started..... the Worst President Ever (up to that time)..... ol' Jimmah. #3. the Lamestreams are the 'Rat Pep Squad, just as the KKK was the 'Rat terrorist arm, back in the day.

It will be decades before the American press realizes they are on the wrong side of history and missed one of the most brilliant strategic offensives in world history, orchestrated by President Trump. He has planned this for 40 years and is now executing it with the aid of the US Military and AI advancements. It began with the Venezuelan raid on Maduro. Maduro was the prize, but the raid's value was to demonstrate that the Chinese anti-stealth radar and missile systems couldn't detect our advanced stealth weapons systems. We had either hacked their test data or, more likely, been provided with it by CIA moles in the PLA, and developed countermeasures to defeat it, but you need to test this in the real world. It worked well on a limited scale. The next test was Operation Midnight Hammer against the more formidable Chinese anti-stealth systems in Iran. Again, we defeated their systems and destroyed them undetected. This gave us the confidence to attack Iran with very low risk of loss in Operation Epic Fury to eliminate them as a nuclear threat with ICBMs. We quickly decapitated their leadership with precision weapons that avoided all the Chinese technology they had been given. What the press hasn't reported is that Xi Jinping has also internally decapitated much of the Chinese military-industrial complex, including CCP scientists and engineers who developed the J20 stealth fighter and anti-stealth radar technology intended to defeat our F-35s. They tested their radar using the J20, and it worked great. What Xi now realizes is that all they proved was that either the J20 wasn't really stealthy, or the anti-stealth radar didn't work due to our jamming countermeasures. The most likely explanation was that we hacked their systems and defeated their radar. In any case, Xi knows that any plans to invade Taiwan without having a viable air defense system or any PLA generals in command would be suicide. So in just the first half of President Trump's second term, he has: 1. Removed a narco-terrorist funded by sanctioned oil shipments and gained control of their oil distribution. 2. Removed the threat of nuclear-enforced slavery to an Islamic power. 3. Checkmated Xi Jinping's ambitions to invade Taiwan. 4. Placed the US in a position to control the flow of oil from the Middle East in a united coalition with oil-producing neighbors and regulate the global price determined by our reserve dollar currency status. This is not the work of a great national leader. This is the work of a modern Alexander the Great. Someday, legendary tales will be written about this time. For now, all we get is brainless heckling.

Yet another member of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, General Ali Mohammad Naeini, was reportedly killed in an airstrike overnight. He's just the latest high-ranking Iranian official to be dispatched to the afterlife thanks to the U.S.-Israel airstrikes that have decimated Iran for the past three weeks. (X) Naeini was one of several Iranian leaders who were reportedly killed in the most recent airstrikes. Intelligence has played a vital role in this war, with information often leading to strikes so precise they target individual apartments in Iran. Shortly before his demise, Naeini insisted Iran was still building missiles and that the war would continue. That last part may be true,

Star Tribune Washington reporter Sydney Kashiwagi reported in the paper’s March 17 Morning Hot Dish newsletter: Zeroing in on Omar once again. Trump especially fixated on Omar during his announcement [of a fraud task force], elevating the unproven claim that she married her brother and committed immigration fraud and is thus “here illegally and she’s a congresswoman.” Trump urged Vance and members of the task force to look into the allegations. Omar clapped back at Trump’s remarks. She said on X that “the most disturbing part of his unhinged comments is how comfortable he is in telling the world how stupid he and his followers are.”

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese learned a valuable lesson about pandering to Islamists during a recent visit to a mosque in Sydney, with what was supposed to be a box-checking affair quickly getting out of hand. Following Albanese's denunciations of the Iranian regime, the left-winger must have felt the need to make amends. To do so, he showed up at a mosque to sit on the floor in his socks and parrot Muslim prayers. The Islamists in the crowd weren't as eager to accept his olive branch, though. Multiple videos showed the moment chaos erupted. At least one person tried to rush the prime minister, with the assumed

Celebrations for what would have been civil rights activist Cesar Chavez's 99th birthday are being canceled ahead of what's being described as "deeply troubling allegations" against the historic figure. Across the country, several local organizations began canceling their upcoming celebrations in anticipation of an upcoming story that is expected to share concerning reports about the former labor union advocate. As cancellations grew, the United Farm Workers (UFW), an organization co-founded by Chavez, released a statement on Tuesday confirming allegations were being made, including ones involving abuse of young women or minors. In response, the UFW announced it would no longer take part in any Cesar Chavez Day activities.

Authorities found 2.1 pounds of marijuana in Alabama star Aden Holloway's apartment when he was arrested on a felony drug possession charge Monday morning, according to charging documents obtained by ESPN on Tuesday. The amount discovered in the arrest is significant because any amount of marijuana above 2.2 pounds -- or a kilogram -- in the state of Alabama can result in a drug trafficking charge. Holloway, who was "removed from campus" and is not with the team days before the NCAA tournament because of the arrest, told police he wanted to exercise his Miranda rights and remain silent during the search of his apartment but then told police "he only smokes."

Arkansas GOP Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Thursday that she was asked to leave a restaurant in Little Rock last week because her presence made employees and customers feel "threatened."

Given Iran’s half century of cruel barbarism in the Middle East, it’s hard to understand why the Democrats seem to be rooting for them in the current war. I have two theories. One is the obvious one. The Dems are not so much rooting for Iran, as rooting against Iran’s enemy. Bad as Iran is, its enemy is even worse in the eyes of the Dems. Iran’s enemy, you see – or at least the Dems see – has a history of its own cruel barbarism going back to at least 1619. Iran’s enemy has engaged in genocide against native people.

In 2022, California Gov. Gavin Newsom broke ground on the Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing (WAWC), a project featuring an overpass for animals atop ten lanes of the 101 Freeway in Southern California. At the ceremony, Newsom boasted that the state had committed $54 million. He promised to “complete the job within another $10 million,” before seeming to hedge on whether that final sum would do the trick. Officials projected a 2025 completion date for the overpass, and estimated that the entire project — which includes the bridge and other ancillary developments — would cost $92 million, some of it coming from private philanthropists.

California lawmakers said Thursday they planned to change the name of “César Chavez Day” to “Farmworkers Day” after sexual abuse allegations against the late civil rights leader arose earlier this week.

One of those women was Dolores Huerta, who co-founded the union with Chavez in 1962. Huerta came forward this week with allegations that she was victimized by Chavez in her 30s.
