What does it actually cost to be a seriously Catholic politician in America?

@RickSantorum and @MaryMargOlohan on homeschooling, large families and how he predicted the gender ideology movement more than two decades before anyone took it seriously.

Gas prices were higher under Joe Biden for no good reason other than the fact that the administration simply wanted to constrain supply for global warming that was a farce. This is a very small price to pay for Americans for stability & security denuclearizing Iran @RickSantorum

There is a growing blind spot in Washington’s understanding of Iran - one Israelis and Gulf Arabs grasp more clearly than many in the Trump camp or Europe.

This is not just about missiles or sanctions. It is about belief: the Mahdist narrative gaining influence within the IRGC, Iran’s hardliners, and supporters of Mojtaba Khamenei.

Many inside the regime now believe Iran survived recent crises not because of diplomacy or restraint, but because of “the unseen hands of the Mahdi” protecting its divine mission.

That is the real danger.

For years, the West dismissed Iran’s apocalyptic rhetoric as symbolic. But in times of war and survival, such beliefs can morph into fanatical operational devotion!

Within IRGC circles, Mojtaba Khamenei is increasingly linked to the “Khorasani” figure from Shi’a prophecy - a leader from eastern Iran who survives foreign attacks amid regional chaos. Hardliners also cast Abdul Malik al-Houthi as the “Yamani,” destined to align with him in a wider regional struggle.

None of this proves prophecy. But movements driven by apocalyptic conviction do not need their beliefs to be true to become dangerous. They only need followers willing to act on them.

That is the risk now facing the region.

If Tehran emerges bruised but intact - convinced America ultimately backed down - the result will not be moderation. It will be vindication of the “Unseen protective hands of the Mahdi” narrative!

The IRGC will see survival as divine endorsement. Every survived strike and every Western hesitation will reinforce the belief that the regime is protected because it serves a sacred mission.

That is how political movements become messianic ones.

The Middle East has seen this before. Al-Qaeda mythologized bin Laden’s survival. ISIS turned Baghdadi into an apocalyptic symbol. In both cases, symbolism mattered as much as military strength.

Once a movement becomes eschatological, deterrence weakens. Sacrifice becomes sacred, and endless conflict becomes a path to redemption.

That is why unfinished wars carry risks.

If America retreats ambiguously while Iran grows more convinced of its divine mission, the result may not be a weaker Iran, but a more radicalized and dangerous revolutionary axis stretching across the region and seeking nuclear weapons, not for deterrent, but for intimidation!

The danger is not simply that the Islamic Republic survives.

The danger is that it believes God/Mahdi ensured its survival.

And once states begin viewing geopolitics as divine destiny, the region enters a far darker phase.

Right now, @USCIRF has ZERO Commissioners.

We urge @POTUS and congressional leaders to promptly appoint — or reappoint — Commissioners.

Appointments remaining:
@POTUS: 3
@SpeakerJohnson: 1
@RepJeffries: 2
@johnthune: 1
@SenSchumer: 2

At a time of growing religious persecution and instability around the world, the US cannot allow a gap in this important bipartisan religious freedom institution.

I supported his nomination because he spoke truth during COVID. He immediately fired the best leaders at the FDA, replaced them with anti-Trump leftists who hollowed out FDA, harmed patients, stifled innovation & drove bio-tech to China then lied about it. https://t.co/3ZrqCVuuPm

This is the most detailed MRI scan of an unborn baby.

At just 20 weeks, she is moving, turning her head, kicking—even standing. Her beating heart is also visible.

Human life is a miracle.

@BarackObama Why am I not surprised that you again see virtue in and advocate for racism.

[Rick Santorum @RickSantorum]

@mahesh_shenai @POTUS A long series of safe and effective therapies being rejected or delayed, particularly in the rare disease space, speak louder than announcements of “transformative” programs.

[Rick Santorum @RickSantorum]

.⁦@POTUS⁩ this did not happen in DJT’s first term. He appointed great leaders who put patients and families first getting treatments and cures out in record time. It is time to clean house and appoint people who follow the DJT’s vision. https://t.co/8NTVZ7SBaz

.⁦@POTUS⁩ in your first term you had one of the most innovative and patient focused FDAs in history because you had great leaders who had your agenda not theirs. https://t.co/6UZYPXEceE
