Bomb Iran To Prevent Wider War in Europe and Protect Taiwan.
1) Must undercut Rus-China-Iran-NK nuke axis, before it’s too late.
2) Restore US 🌍military cred post-Afgh w/draw.
3) USA should IMMEDIATELY eliminate Iran nuclear military infrastructure.

FACT: The annual funding Israel receives from the US amounts to less than one-tenth of 1% of the federal budget. Less than 1/10th of 1%.

FACT: That annual funding would cover only a few hours of federal health care spending. A few hours.

Yet politicians who specialize in scapegoating would have you believe that Israel is responsible for America’s affordability crisis.

Like every form of scapegoating before it, it is a dangerous lie.

In a video obtained exclusively by The Midwesterner, Abdul El-Sayed staffer TJ Wolfgram, the campaign's conservative and independent outreach captain, defended the Muslim Brotherhood and claimed concerns about ties are "because Americans are idiots":

[Jamie Metzl @JamieMetzl]

Unless Abdul El-Sayed immediately demands that this campaign ad be taken down and unequivocally condemns it and its creators, he will be exposed as a vile, dangerous, and divisive antisemite. Any (of my fellow) Democrats who condemn the disgusting Ramaswamy ad in Ohio but do not condemn this deserve our unflinching contempt.

Welcome @GilboaamirAsaf and WhiteSage to the @aleph portfolio.

Next up from El-Sayed, perhaps an ad saying that Germans lost the First World War because Jews stabbed them in the back.

If you need one reason to go to the polls next week, this is the one. We need an AG in NY that is committed to putting violent criminals in jail.

@sarithaforny is by far the most capable and experienced crime fighter.

🚨 HOLY CRAP! President Trump just exposed MI Senate candidate Abdul El Sayed in front of America, and HE BROUGHT RECEIPTS:

- Father-in-law: lead a FRONT GROUP for the Muslim Brotherhood, a terrorist organization banned in eight Muslim countries because it's "so sinister and severe"
- Sister-in-law: placed on the terror watch list 🤯
- Abdul: signed a letter urging the Muslim Brotherhood to "purge the journalists and the police"

He also hammered Abdul's record of pushing to defund the police, the same week FBI agents broke up an ISIS-inspired assassination plot against a sitting congressman in Texas!

MICHIGAN HAS 9 DAYS TO STOP THIS INSANITY.

Abdul going to the Senate is a national security risk.

Michigan Mike is the way to go.

[Masih Alinejad @AlinejadMasih]

I just learned that he has no mother or father to speak up for him. And now the Islamic Republic wants to hang him.

His name is Ilya Ben Rashid.

He is a young Iranian protester He has a younger sister. Now he is facing a death sentence.

He was arrested during the January 2026 protests in Iran. A Revolutionary Court in Isfahan sentenced him to death on charges of “waging war against God” for allegedly damaging public property.

He is being held in Dastgerd Prison. Reports say he was denied a lawyer of his choice.

Imagine facing execution for demanding freedom.

We must become his voice. We must stop his execution.

Say his name. Save Ilya Ben Rashid.

[Marc Thiessen @marcthiessen]

The irony that he takes offense at the suggestion of “dual loyalty” when he’s the one who accuses Israel supporters of dual loyalty — an antisemitic trope — and promises “I will not take orders from AIPAC.”

[Adam Milstein @AdamMilstein]

This is one of the most comical ads this election cycle. Yes, Americans are chatting at the grocery store about how they can’t buy groceries because their tax dollars “go to Israel” 🙄 😂 nevermind the fact that Israel has invested 100% of military aid in the U.S. economy since Oct 7, and has also purchased over $1 billion *additional* in arms, according to DoD. Federal military aid is also prohibited from being spent on anything other than U.S. arms, so the line about healthcare is even more comical. El Sayed and his Islamist fans like Cenk Uygur want and expect American voters to be so stupid they never check.

Not only is this ad insane, conspiratorial, and antisemitic — it is also flat out false. El Sayed isn’t for the people of Michigan, he isn’t even for America. He is for the Muslim Brotherhood.

[Jamie Metzl @JamieMetzl]

It is not “Islamophobic” to raise legitimate questions about Abdul El-Sayed’s and his family’s documented associations with the Muslim Brotherhood. It is the patriotic duty of every responsible Michigan voter.

[Josh Block @JoshBlockDC]

@therealBehnamBT Just pallets of cash

[The Rational Animal 🤔 @theobjectivist]

If anyone believes this nonsense, here are the facts he is counting on you not knowing.

The deal did not end Iran's nuclear program. It rented a pause. Iran kept its centrifuges, kept Fordow buried in a mountain, kept enriching to 3.67%, and the key restrictions came with expiration dates. The sunset clauses began lifting in 2025. Obama's own answer at the time was that breakout time "would have shrunk almost down to zero" as the deal expired. His deal scheduled the problem for his successors.

The regime lied its way into the deal. The JCPOA was premised on Iran coming clean about past weapons work. In 2018 Israel pulled Iran's own nuclear archive out of a Tehran warehouse: tens of thousands of documents on the Amad Project, a crash program to build nuclear weapons, preserved and hidden while Iran certified it had no such program. The IAEA later found uranium traces at undeclared sites Iran never explained.

The deal paid for terror. Sanctions relief unfroze roughly $100 billion and the US delivered $1.7 billion in cash. That money flowed to the IRGC, Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis. Diplomacy with a regime at war with you is financing, not peace.

And the result? By 2025 Iran was enriching to 60%, a short technical step from weapons grade, with enough material for multiple bombs and the IAEA declaring it in violation of its obligations. That is what required military force this year. Iran marched to the threshold under the deal's cover and after it.

"I didn't have to fire a missile" is true. He handed the regime money, legitimacy, and a timetable, and left the missiles to be fired a decade later by someone else. Appeasing a dictatorship doesn't buy peace. It buys the dictatorship time.
