Gold Star mother Karen Vaughn at Arlington National Cemetery:
“Throughout my life, freedom was a concept, a moment in history, a story about brave people who refused to bow any longer to the chains of tyranny. It was something we celebrated on the Fourth of July. But on August 6, 2011, freedom became a sentence that began with, ‘We regret to inform you.’ Freedom became the silence left behind by a boy whose laughter filled every room he ever entered.
Freedom became a folded flag placed in my arms on behalf of a grateful nation. My son had given his life for me, for us, for every American who wakes up under the protection every day of the red, white, and blue.”
I have got update from inside Iran for those who are genuinely worried.
Mainstream media is spreading nonsense to exploit your worry and save the regime.
My mom called this morning, she had to call cause internet’s cut again (it is a war crime). Explosions are louder than the 12-day war, but everyone is calm: strikes are precise, mostly away from homes. For nearby targets (mosques, IRGC/Basij bases in neighborhoods), people get phone warnings to evacuate first,consistent with 12 day war.
Even near Persian new year holidays, families are staying home as President @realDonaldTrump and Prince @PahlaviReza advised, avoiding schools and public spots because the regime uses them as human shields.
That’s why we in exile thank @POTUS and @netanyahu : they go to great lengths to protect civilians while the regime deliberately hits crowded areas to cause maximum casualties, not just in Israel, but also in Saudi Arabia, Dubai, and Qatar.
Our only real worries: the regime itself, their faulty Chinese missiles, and their constant use of human shields.
Remember 2020: after striking the US base in Iraq, they shot down a civilian Iranian plane full of families and kids, hoping Trump would hit back so they could play victim (a Russian-style tactic). They miscalculated, Trump didn’t retaliate and we painfully saw what this regime is truly capable of.
Stay calm. No one wants war, but this cancer leaves no other option but surgery.
Be patient, stay hopeful, and pray for American & Israeli heroes and for Iranians to come through safely.

The Left doesn't call you far-right, Nazi, fascist, or “dictator” because you actually are.
They fabricate a version of reality that has almost no connection to the truth.
They need that fabricated villain to morally justify their hatred and violence against you.
Iranians learned this the hardest, most bitter way possible.
They called the Shah of Iran a "dictator" too.
Just like they're calling President Trump one now.
The Shah wasn't a dictator, not even close.
But they inflated death tolls, blamed him for tragedies like the Cinema Rex fire they themselves caused, pinned suicides and accidents on SAVAK, and repeated the lies until they felt like truth.
The goal was to destroy the love, trust, and loyalty ordinary Iranians had for him.
It worked.
When Khomeini was flown in from Paris, he was fully supported by global leftists. When a group of armed rebels invaded the country, the army stood down.
Almost no one defended the Shah. The people had been brainwashed into seeing him as the enemy.
Soon they realized the terrible deception.
The revolutionaries never wanted freedom.
Their real drive was envy: envy of success, beauty, power, achievement. They weaponize morality, language, academia, everything to tear the successful down to their own level of misery.
That's exactly what the Iranian Revolution was: a coalition of resentful, envy-driven groups.
They burned everything the Shah had built, changed the ancient flag, executed patriots and great Iranians simply for being competent and loyal to the nation.
For 47 years, with all the oil money in the world, they printed books, made films, funded lobbies, trained generations of academics, all to keep repeating the grudge against the Shah.
That grudge later shifted: first to America ("Death to America" became their core chant), then to successful Arabs (that's why, as their regime nears collapse, they now obsess over destroying the Burj Khalifa in Dubai).
This nightmare is finally ending for us Iranians.
But I watch America and Europe with deep concern.
It's the exact same playbook.
They vilify Trump and Elon Musk, not because of reality, but out of pure envy.
They manufacture lies, labels, and outrage to justify hatred and violence against them.
Please, learn from Iran. Otherwise you will also have to live it to learn.

As I feared several days ago, as time goes on, the urgency and immediacy for helping the Iranian people lessens in the public mind and among the decision-makers. Already, the media are losing interest. This is very worrisome.
I want the awful images of the terrorized congregants in MN to serve as a wake-up call for the Christians who have deluded themselves thus far into thinking that progressivism is an acceptable worldview, who have fallen for the lie that these people really do care for the “least of these” and the marginalized.
Let me disabuse you of that notion. Progressivism is inherently anti-Christ and pro-chaos. Always and in every way.
That stunt was not about the immigrant community. These activists look for any trigger incident to justify terrorizing Christians. In 2020 it was George Floyd, this time it’s Renee Good.
Progressives see this as a battle against Western civilization, the American system, and the institutions that have contributed to the “oppression” of victim groups. They know that the church stands in the way of their desire for destruction.
If they can make you scared and silent, if they can morally extort you into taking their position, then they've won.
We as Christians have to be so clear on 2 things:
1) We serve a God of love and mercy, which have manifested themselves in our lives through Jesus Christ and in our treatment of others. For 2,000 years we have upheld the dignity of vulnerable people and we will continue to.
2) We serve a God of justice and order, who created borders, laws, governments, and nations for our good and His glory. As Christians, we are to be agents of order, not chaos.
We've got to be resolute on what we know to be true, and we cannot be bullied by progressive terrorists.
In the end, the gates of hell will not prevail against us
We condemn the actions of Don Lemon and the group of activists who stormed Cities Church today in St. Paul, Minnesota, in clear violation of the FACE Act. Christians everywhere should demand that the Department of Justice arrest those who participated. We must protect religious liberty in this country.
I didn’t really want to watch this video but finally viewed it all just now. We really need to require our liberal friends and relatives to view it. It’s so terrible.
Message from Iran:
“You cannot even imagine. Not even in your imaginations what is happening in Iran. Thousands and thousands have been killed. Friends and loved ones everyone has been killed in Iran. Just be our voice. The world needs to hear this.
If nothing happens in the next few days, they will all be massacred. All of Iran is being massacred. The situation is truly horrific and gruesome.
Only the outside can help. We can’t do anything here with our empty hands. A horrific massacre has taken place. We saw it with our own eyes.
They killed people outside their front doors. A girl 17, 18, 16 years old. I don’t know what to say. Because my phone is tapped today, it could cause problems for some.
We went back 100 years ago. They are collecting satellites. The Internet is shut down. The situation is horrific and indescribable.
If you can share my voice, please share it everywhere in the media and on the Internet. There are war crimes and crimes against humanity happening in Iran.
These figures 12 thousand or 10 thousand that are being circulated are laughable compared to what we have seen. It’s impossible to say what crimes are committed in Iran.
I love you all.”

WARNING!
I am concerned as time goes on, the immediacy and imperative of helping the people in Iran will begin to fade, which is part of the Iranian regime's strategy and those of its allies in Qatar and Saudi Arabia. No public hangings, but killings continue under cover of dark, door-to-door, in the prisons, etc. The people have moved into their homes and the shadows, where they are being hunted down by thousands of Iranian regime police and soldiers, as well as militia from Iraq and Lebanon. As the slaughter moves off the headlines of the Western media, the Western public -- including in our country -- will believe things have settled down in Iran, when, in fact, they have not. This must not be misinterpreted, perhaps intentionally so by some, as quiet and relative peace in Iran. And this is why that regime keeps all communication platforms shutdown.
At some point there will be an accounting for all of this, of those within Iran who are committing these genocidal atrocities, and those in the West who've done nothing. And make no mistake, our enemies are watching closely -- in China, Russia, North Korea, and elsewhere. They will be emboldened as will the Iranian regime.

Every-time Legacy Media or a Politician states the was is “unprovoked” is a complete lie.
This doesn’t even include some of the more grotesque activities Ukraine has been well documented as being involved in.
