It seems Trump can’t keep his big fat mouth shut. That now is not such a bad thing. He’s trash-talking Iran and threatening more bombing, and Iran stormed out of negations with JD in Geneva.
Peace with Iran at this juncture is stupid. We should be concentrating on the IRGC. Take care of them, and there will be no one to uphold the mullahs. Make no mistake, the IRGC is in charge; not the Ayatollah, nor Trump. They are playing the tune that the world is dancing to. It’s time to pay the piper once and for all, and I don’t mean with smiles and money.
Heute wird Salman Rushdie 79. 1989 verurteilte ihn das Regime in Teheran zum Tode. Ayatollah Khomeini rief alle Muslime der Welt dazu auf, einen Schriftsteller zu ermorden, nur weil ihm dessen Roman nicht passte. Khomeini lebt seit über 35 Jahren nicht mehr. Sein Mordbefehl aber lebt weiter, noch 2017 bestätigte sein Nachfolger Chamenei das Todesurteil.
Und es blieb nie bei Worten. Rushdies japanischer Übersetzer wurde ermordet, sein italienischer niedergestochen, sein norwegischer Verleger angeschossen. Der islamistische Terror gegen ein einziges Buch reichte bis nach Tokio, Mailand und Oslo. 2022 stach man Rushdie schließlich auf offener Bühne nieder, ausgerechnet bei einem Vortrag über Meinungsfreiheit. Er verlor ein Auge, der Täter verehrte einen seit Jahrzehnten toten Fanatiker.
Das ist der Kern des Islamismus. Er erträgt kein freies Wort, nicht einen Roman oder auch keinen einen Witz. Und während ein Schriftsteller seit fast vierzig Jahren um sein Leben fürchtet, verhandelt der Westen mit seinen Häschern, hofiert das Regime und überweist am Ende noch Geld dafür.
Wer Freiheit ernst meint, verhandelt nicht mit denen, die Schriftsteller auf Todeslisten setzen. Er nennt sie beim Namen: Feinde jeder freien Gesellschaft.
I have been a Trump supporter for a long time. Am I disappointed? Yes. But there is something fishy within and around the “deal” that lets me believe there is much more to it.
In the meantime total support for Mario Rubio and absolute contempt for Vance.
JD Vance is now openly demonizing Israel while making excuses for the Islamic regime.
According to him, the only reason Islamic states are failing isn’t Sharia law, jihad, terrorism, the brutal treatment of women as slaves, or the oppression of minorities — it’s Jewish members within Israeli society.
Yes, the Jews are somehow forcing peaceful Islamic states to wage jihad, build ballistic missiles, rape, invade, and slaughter innocents.
He is not just wrong. He is insane. Blaming some Jewish people but not personally the prime minister of Israel isn’t an excuse for his hatred.
He doesn't blame the jihadists for the self-inflicted failures of the Islamic world and Iran.
Islamic societies don’t need Jewish people as an excuse — they’ve been exporting conquest, supremacism, and misery for 1,400 years.
JD Vance and his inner circle are siding with the Ayatollahs against Israel. They are empowering evil and stabbing America’s ally in the back.
This is moral insanity.
Look similar? I liked the old Air Force One livery just fine. Why do we have to revert to Trump’s markings? He’s marking his territory by ruining our monuments in DC more than the George Floyd Riots ever did.

This is the face of a man with integrity.
He may look defeated, and understandably so. The deal that was reached and signed is 1,000% something Marco Rubio would never support if he were the one in charge.
But he is also a patriot. He respects the administration. He understands the chain of command.
Hang in there, Marco.
In a couple of years, you may get your chance.
"What an embarrassment."
GOP and Democrat senators are casting doubt on President Trump’s Iran peace deal, with lawmakers from both parties criticizing the agreement and raising concerns about its potential impact.
"Giving billions of dollars to theocratic lunatics who want to murder us is not a good idea."
"I think the president unfortunately is receiving bad advice on this deal."
