Trump Isn’t Negotiating—He’s Crushing
Iran’s Regime

Nothing that the Iranians say can be taken at face value because there is no Iranian government. The first and second echelon of that apparatus is gone. So you have the people in the military, that’s one clique. You’ve got the theocracy, the Khamenei, you know, surrogates. That’s another. You’ve got the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. It’s probably the most dominant. Then you’ve got these elected politicians. And they have two driving concerns. One, they are terrified that one of the other three groups will think they’re weak and are negotiating with the Americans and either kill ’em or marginalize ’em or cut off their revenues, such as it is.

Great interview/discussion, Besides discussing Iran, VDH brings up Stormy Daniels, her former attorney Michael Avenatti, Ben Rhodes, et et al. I think Trump really doesn't want to destroy Iran's infrastructure in the hope that once the mad mullahs and psychotic IRGC nuts finally surrender or blow their brains put. That the people of Iran will be able re-build their economy and re-join the family of nations.

Diversity, equity, and inclusion policies may only look dead in corporate America, as high-priced racial equity audits for some of the largest firms have become a lucrative industry for Democrat-leaning law firms, a watchdog group noted. Two former attorneys general under the Obama administration—Eric Holder and Loretta Lynch—have led their respective firms’ efforts on the racial equity audits. Holder is a partner with the firm Covington & Burling.

The DOJ indictment of the Southern Poverty Law Center for wire fraud, money laundering and false statements [Indictment Here], confirms long-held suspicions that Democrat-aligned activist groups have been financing racism, hate mobs and political violence. For all intents and purposes, the SPLC is a leftist/progressive activist organization who bills itself as anti-racism, yet this same SPLC organization was using cut outs to fund the Ku Klux Klan, the United Klans of America, Unite the Right, National Alliance, National Socialist Movement, Aryan Nations affiliated, Sadistic Souls Motorcycle Club, National Socialist Party of America (American Nazi Party) and American Front.

Read the answers, as well as how Ukraine is now following the path that Israel once took, in an interview with Michael Brodsky, Israel’s Ambassador to Ukraine, for RBC-Ukraine. Key points Russia and Iran's role. The weakening of Iran in the medium term will inevitably lead to a weakening of Russia’s position in the Middle East. Israel considers any military aid to Iran unacceptable and is conveying this message to Moscow. Cooperation with Ukraine. The two countries are engaged in dialogue on security and the exchange of unique combat experience. Brodsky agrees that Ukraine has already become a contributor to global security by helping Gulf countries defend against drones.

Shortly after the Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v.

Mojtaba Khamenei, the new supreme leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, still hasn’t been seen in public since he was named to his exalted new position. Reuters reported that “three people close to his inner circle” said that the world’s most prominent nepo baby was severely injured in the airstrike that killed his father, suffering disfigurement to his face and reportedly also losing a leg. Nevertheless, in a new message on Telegram Saturday, the younger Khamenei was full of threats and bravado, and ready to give the Great Satan and Little Satan a whipping they won’t soon forget.

Two recent happenings in Annapolis reveal a disturbing truth. Even in this post-"MeToo” age, politicians who make inappropriate comments toward women remain sadly common. It becomes especially jarring when those comments are captured on state-run media and reported, somewhat cheekily, in the local press. That’s what happened in early March when Maryland’s First Lady, Dawn Moore, appeared before the Senate Finance Committee. It isn’t every day that the governor’s wife sits in the witness chair, and her appearance understandably drew attention. During the hearing, Sen. Ben Cramer (D-Montgomery) —

Possibly the most amusing fake news item Saturday morning came from The New York Times. Under the rubric “Iran War Live Updates,” a headline screamed, “Iran’s Military Says It Has Reimposed ‘Strict Control’ of Strait of Hormuz.” To which an inquiring mind wants to know, “What Iran military?” It’s gone, Kemo Sabe. The floating bits are at the bottom of the sea. The terrestrial bits have been crushed, blasted, pulverized, or incinerated. Ditto most of the bits that flew.

Election integrity advocates are applauding a Nebraska measure that will stop foreign funding of ballot issue campaigns and ensure that elections are decided by American citizens alone. Executive director of Honest Elections Project Action Jason Snead told The Center Square that “ballot measures are critical elections that can remake constitutions, redefine our rights, and rewrite the rules of our elections.” “No foreign billionaire or foreign-funded group should be able to interfere in decisions as essential as this, and ballot measures should never be a Trojan Horse for foreign influence,” Snead said.

New York City continues its tragic decline under the failed stewardship of buffoonish Mayor Zohran Mamdani, as spotlighted by a disturbing video showing three out-of-shape NYPD officers failing to restrain a subway thug. The incident, which occurred on a subway platform in the Bronx, underscores how Mamdani‘s embrace of anti-meritocratic DEI hiring practices has eroded public safety and emboldened criminals. The video, which was originally posted on Instagram, was reposted on X on Monday. “Three NYPD officers are unable to take down one thug at the Tremont Avenue subway stop in NYC,” an X user observed.

The president previously called Jeffries a "low IQ person" on Tuesday and said he was always ranting about the war in Iran. MS NOW's Lawrence O'Donnell asked the House Minority Leader to respond to the president's comments. "Well, it’s an extraordinary insult, but he continues to repeat it. And what’s so ironic is that Donald Trump is clearly the dumbest person ever to sit at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue," Jeffries said. Jeffries said Trump and Republicans have failed America. "But most importantly, Lawrence, this guy and Republicans have completely and totally failed America. They failed on the economy, failed on healthcare, failed on immigration enforcement," he said.

Far-left Rep. Ilhan Omar blew up at a reporter this week for asking questions about accounting “discrepancies” the Democrat blamed for overstating her net worth by millions of dollars on financial disclosure forms. In May last year, Omar (D-Minn.) claimed she and her husband, Tim Mynett, held assets worth between $6 million and $30 million. However, an amended filing reported by the Wall Street Journal last week put the couple’s wealth at between $18,004 and $95,000. The lawmaker claimed the initial filing was riddled with accounting errors.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Tuesday that Iran and the United States should reach an agreement similar to former President Barack Obama’s 2015 nuclear deal in order to make peace. “If the current efforts of the Iranian and American negotiators, which we support, result in something like the 2015 agreement, I think it would be a great success,” Lavrov said at a press conference after meeting with Taher al-Baour, the acting foreign minister of one of Libya’s two governments. Libya was torn in half and became infested with terrorists and warlords after Obama attacked the country in 2011 to change its regime.

Fans roared with adoration as the resolute Boss opened his Prudential Center concert with the same preamble he’s given each night on his new tour: “The America I love, the America that I’ve written about for 50 years that has been a beacon of hope and liberty around the world is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent, racist, reckless and treasonous administration,” he said. “Tonight we ask all of you to join with us in choosing hope over fear, democracy over authoritarianism, the rule of law over lawlessness,

The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) for decades has lectured America about the ever-present threat of “hate” groups while raking in hundreds of millions from donors fearful of these organizations. But on Tuesday, the Trump DOJ dropped a bombshell: an 11-count federal indictment charging the SPLC with wire fraud, bank fraud, and money laundering for secretly funneling more than $3 million in donor cash to actual extremists. Among those nefarious payments was a staggering $270,000 allegedly paid to a member of the online leadership chat group that planned the 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville.

Speaking to students and faculty at the Catholic University of Central Africa in Yaounde, Cameroon, the pontiff urged younger generations to stay and build their own countries rather than seeking opportunities elsewhere. “In the face of the understandable tendency to migrate, which may lead one to believe that elsewhere a better future may be more easily found, I invite you to respond with an ardent desire to serve your country and to apply the knowledge you are acquiring here to the benefit of your fellow citizens,” he said.
Court Rules Just-Passed Virginia
Gerrymandering Unconstitutional

A circuit court in Virginia just ruled that the newly passed but incredibly biased gerrymandered congressional map is unconstitutional. Former Virginia attorney general and Homeland Security official Ken Cuccinelli II posted on X Wednesday about the gerrymandered map, "UPDATE on referendum lawsuits: The Tazewell Circuit Court just ruled the referendum unconstitutional. The Judge entered an injunction blocking certification of the election & denied a motion to stay pending appeal. A final order will be entered once drafted, & it will be immediately appealed." The new map would almost certainly hand ten out of eleven congressional districts to Democrat control. This would impact not only Virginia, therefore, but the Republican-Democrat balance

Scott, who was seeking his 13th term in Congress despite challenges from within his party, was once a leading voice for Democrats on issues related to farm aid policy and food aid for consumers and a prominent Black member of the party’s moderate Blue Dog caucus. But he faced criticism and concerns in recent years because of declining health, enduring a primary challenge in 2024 and facing another one at the time of his death. Democrats

Not satisfied with destroying Chicago, Democrats in the state want to make sure all Illinoisans suffer. A new bill would override local laws and force access for homeless encampments in all public parks. Wirepoints notes that under House Bill 1429, the Local Regulation of Unsheltered Homelessness Act, local towns, park districts, cities, forest preserves, and all other municipalities of any kind “would have their home rule authority on the matter stripped away.” Per Wirepoints: It’s House Bill 1429, the Local Regulation of Unsheltered Homelessness Act, which says local governments wouldn’t be able to establish or enforce a rule fining or criminally punishing homeless people for participating in “life sustaining activities.”

Michigan Democrats had to choose between a Hezbollah-sympathizing radical and a perfectly respectable former Barack Obama attorney. Given the drift of their party, it wasn’t a difficult choice — it was the virulently anti-Israel extremist all the way. At their convention over the weekend, Democrats selected Amir Makled as their nominee for a seat on the University of Michigan Board of Regents. A Dearborn, Mich., lawyer, Makled represented pro-Hamas student demonstrators, called for the university to divest from Israel and expressed great respect for anti-Israel terrorists in social media posts. He reposted X items referring to Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah as a “martyr” after he was killed in an Israeli strike.
