Adam Carolla: "Justin Trudeau is like, I never had vax mandates… You couldn't travel, you couldn't have your job, and you couldn't go in a restaurant. But there were no mandates. You f**king douche. That is a mandate."
Good morning y'all happy Monday!
“You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men.

@ItsYourGov Will the Iranian deal work? I don't know yet if it will, and nobody does. I pray it will.
But when Pompeo, Pence, and other Never-Trumpers start prematurely poo-poohing the deal - now you know to check and see if money is involved here.
THREAD END.
How the denial works: a three-entity structure.
NCRI-US (the DC office Jafarzadeh runs) -- FARA registered. The filing reports $0 in speaker fees and $0 in payments to individuals.
NCRI Paris/Albania (the foreign principal) -- this is what's listed on Pence's financial disclosure as the source of the $190,000. This entity pays the speakers directly.
OIAC (domestic 501(c)(4)) -- organizes U.S. events. No FARA registration was identified for OIAC in the DOJ FARA database. As a 501(c)(4), OIAC is not required to publicly disclose donors. Paid Pence separately.
Each entity can deny what the others do. That's how "absolutely not" works.
@ItsYourGov Mike Pompeo has been one of the most prolific speakers on the NCRI circuit. He labels MeK as freedom fighters. Speaking fees have not been disclosed, but AI estimates his payments well into the hundreds of thousands range, taking in comparable speakers.
🚨 THREAD: What do Mike Pence, Mike Pompeo, John Bolton, and Elaine Chao have in common? They were all paid by a Marxist-Islamist Iran group that was designated as terrorist until 2012.
No, this is not a joke.
Mojahedin-e-Khalq (MEK) was founded by leftist Islamists to oppose the western-backed Pahlavi, and participated in his 1979 overthrow. Khomeini barred MEK afterwards. MEK was implicated in multiple bombings, including that of Americans, and remained an openly armed group until 2003.
Since they got de-listed as a terrorist organization in 2012 on procedural grounds, MEK and their fronts have been actively recruiting US politicians selling themselves as a moderate alternative to Khomeini. But RAND Corporation says MEK meets the qualifications for a cult, citing criteria such as forcing their members to work 16+ hour days and forced divorces.
Polls of the Iranian-American community shows that they do NOT accept Rajavi, MeK's leader, as legitimate, with a 46-point net disapproval - numbers nearly as bad as the existing regime.
As Pence's former Chief of Staff, Marc Short, has already weighed against Trump deal, it's helpful to recall this.
Receipts below. As always, patience as I pull the thread together.👇
Why are Christians forced to wear a symbol that runs wildly counter to their deeply-held, centuries-old religious beliefs?
Why is rabid, hatemongering Christophobia OK but a mild stance against sin considered abhorrent?
How about you LGBTQ+ people actually practice the live-and-let-live principles you falsely claim to espouse?
The bigots here are not the Christians. The bigots here are the people demanding that innocent Christians publicly disavow their faith.
🇬🇧 Video of British police arresting a crying 5-year-old boy while he was walking alongside them as they detained his father is going viral.
They shoved the terrified little kid into the back of their patrol car like trash. When his mother, baby still clutched in her arms, rushed to rescue her son, these thugs pushed her back and ordered her to stand down.
This is the UK in 2026.
Absolutely disgusting!
The right man won…
“FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.“
Give your life to JESUS!

School choice isn't just about education. It's about the environment where education takes place.
It played a pivotal role in my life, and I’ll fight every day to make sure every Florida student has that same opportunity.
