🚨 HOLY SMOKES. Iranian woman goes BERSERK on a smug white liberal who is supporting the Islamic regime

"Convince me of WHAT? Of R*PE?! Of women not having rights?! I am Iranian, I've been imprisoned by that regime!"

"Iranians are ASKING for the bombs! Iranian youth are asking to be bombed, and you are standing here SUPPORTING a terrorist regime! What are you DOING supporting a terrorist regime?!"

*Lib spouts off about Palestine*

"This has NOTHING to do with Palestine. This is about a terrorist regime in MY COUNTRY."

"I can't even go see my father's grave!!"

Mad props to this woman! White liberals are clueless, all over the world.

With a detransitioner winning a 2 million dollar medical malpractice settlement (which should have been 100 times higher), the total collapse of the trans movement is officially upon us. In the next few years, every Frankenstein gender butcher and perverted "medical professional" who profited off of the sexual mutilation of children will be sued into oblivion. The story should end with these mad scientists convicted in a court of law and hanging from the gallows. Instead it will end with them bankrupted and disgraced, which isn't as good but will have to be good enough.

As the years pass, those who supported this madness will quietly retreat and pretend that none of this ever happened, or at least that they had no hand in it. We shouldn't let them. The trans movement will go down as the most deranged form of mass hysteria that human civilization has ever seen. We should make sure that history accurately records who went along with it and who had the courage to stand against it, even when the hysteria was at its peak and there was little to be gained, and much to lose, in doing so.

The people who fell on the wrong side of this issue should never be trusted again. They should be shamed and disgraced and forced to live with the humiliation for the rest of their days. We cannot stop the rats from fleeing the ship. But we can remember their names .

This is the second best post I’ve ever read on X and I wish I had a chance to read it 10 years ago.

I sent it to many people close to me and if you haven’t yet, it worth the 30 minute read

A very Happy Thanksgiving salutation to all of our Great American Citizens and Patriots who have been so nice in allowing our Country to be divided, disrupted, carved up, murdered, beaten, mugged, and laughed at, along with certain other foolish countries throughout the World, for being “Politically Correct,” and just plain STUPID, when it comes to Immigration. The official United States Foreign population stands at 53 million people (Census), most of which are on welfare, from failed nations, or from prisons, mental institutions, gangs, or drug cartels. They and their children are supported through massive payments from Patriotic American Citizens who, because of their beautiful hearts, do not want to openly complain or cause trouble in any way, shape, or form. They put up with what has happened to our Country, but it’s eating them alive to do so! A migrant earning $30,000 with a green card will get roughly $50,000 in yearly benefits for their family. The real migrant population is much higher. This refugee burden is the leading cause of social dysfunction in America, something that did not exist after World War II (Failed schools, high crime, urban decay, overcrowded hospitals, housing shortages, and large deficits, etc.). As an example, hundreds of thousands of refugees from Somalia are completely taking over the once great State of Minnesota. Somalian gangs are roving the streets looking for “prey” as our wonderful people stay locked in their apartments and houses hoping against hope that they will be left alone. The seriously retarded Governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz, does nothing, either through fear, incompetence, or both, while the worst “Congressman/woman” in our Country, Ilhan Omar, always wrapped in her swaddling hijab, and who probably came into the U.S.A. illegally in that you are not allowed to marry your brother, does nothing but hatefully complain about our Country, its Constitution, and how “badly” she is treated, when her place of origin is a decadent, backward, and crime ridden nation, which is essentially not even a country for lack of Government, Military, Police, schools, etc. Even as we have progressed technologically, Immigration Policy has eroded those gains and living conditions for many. I will permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries to allow the U.S. system to fully recover, terminate all of the millions of Biden illegal admissions, including those signed by Sleepy Joe Biden’s Autopen, and remove anyone who is not a net asset to the United States, or is incapable of loving our Country, end all Federal benefits and subsidies to noncitizens of our Country, denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility, and deport any Foreign National who is a public charge, security risk, or non-compatible with Western Civilization. These goals will be pursued with the aim of achieving a major reduction in illegal and disruptive populations, including those admitted through an unauthorized and illegal Autopen approval process. Only REVERSE MIGRATION can fully cure this situation. Other than that, HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL, except those that hate, steal, murder, and destroy everything that America stands for — You won’t be here for long!

Here’s what I think will happen in NYC under Mahdami.

The free buses and government grocery stores won’t happen, they never do. They sound good during campaigns, but collapse under basic math. You can’t run a city on ideas that cost billions and produce no revenue.

The only way to make housing affordable is to build more housing. The free market lowers prices, not regulation. Every time politicians try to control rent or force affordability by decree, developers stop building and landlords stop maintaining. Supply dries up, the quality collapses, and the few properties that remain skyrocket in price.

Once landlords can’t make a profit, they sell, lose properties, or walk away. Eventually, the government takes over.

Taxes will rise to pay for the promises, and the middle class will be the ones shouldering the burden. The rich will relocate, the poor will depend on subsidies, and the productive class will be squeezed from both sides.

Thriving businesses are the foundation of any thriving city. When they leave, everything else follows, jobs, schools, grocery stores, stability. Chicago already proved this. Boeing, McDonald’s, Caterpillar, Citadel, nearly 70k jobs, all gone. Now they’re facing billion-dollar deficits, half empty schools and neighborhoods without grocery stores.

I saw someone who lived in a rent-controlled apartment in California put it perfectly, he said his landlord could no longer afford maintenance so the pool was filled with dirt, the floors had soft spots, and the foundation ended up cracking. That’s what overregulation does, it destroys quality.

People who voted for this will eventually feel the pain but they won’t blame the policies or the politicians, they’ll blame the rich for leaving.

This conversation is always difficult because most people simply don’t understand market dynamics or incentives. In a free society, people act in their own self-interest. If you remove profit and reward dependency, productivity dies and the city with it.

If you think things are expensive now, just wait until they’re “free.”

Come on @BarackObama, say his name. It’s the easiest opportunity you’ve ever had to give some credit to President Trump & unite Americans. This fact that you refuse to do it, even in this one very special case, reflects why we’re so divided.

Two moments stick out to me in the story of The Free Press. The first is me opening my phone to see @bariweiss’s resignation letter in 2020. It felt shocking. Not her leaving the New York Times, but what she wrote, how she said it and when, during a summer of hysteria when very few people were speaking the truth.

I had never met Bari though I enjoyed her writing. It felt like an event, a major moment in America’s cultural revolution that would lead to something big. I texted Chris Best at Substack and said “I think you saw the news.” He had. Everyone in media had.

Common Sense was born and I was hooked, not because of what @TheFP would become, but because of her uncommon courage in a moment when few people in positions of power were displaying any courage at all.

The second moment won’t get as many nods today. It was late 2021. I was putting my son down for a nap and opened the Honestly podcast to hear a 25-minute speech from @AbigailShrier. I listened to the speech again last night and still can’t believe Bari had the guts to publish it: a canceled mother, whose book Irreversible Damage had been banned from Target for noting that teen girls were transitioning at much higher rates than boys. She asked the obvious question parents weren’t allowed to ask then: why?

At the time, the ACLU was pushing to get the book banned from libraries across America, but here was Abigail on Honestly reading a speech about what it’s like to be cancelled for telling the truth; what it’s liked to be hated and finding freedom in that hate.

Bari was one of the few people who gave Abigail a real platform. In 2021, when Big Tech was issuing listener warnings if podcasters criticized Covid vaccine mandates, questioning elective mastectomies for teens was unthinkable in the mainstream press. The Free Press published Abigail.

It’s very easy to forget what courage looks like. In hindsight, none of these things seem that groundbreaking. The Overton window has shifted so far that these acts of resistance look quaint now.

But they set the stage for where we are today: a golden age of new media and free speech in America. Bari is an important part of this shift, as she was among the first of her cohort to leave and build something new, what investors like to call early and right.

She was among the first to call out censorship in mainstream institutions, not as an outsider critic but as a true insider with everything to lose. She called it out from the vaunted New York Times editorial page and it took time before others in her world followed.

But she wasn’t just courageous for quitting. Most importantly, she didn’t give up on building. She didn’t blackpill. She wanted to build a new media institution and she did. The Free Press has been growing the newsroom from day one with the ambition to build an institution that outlasts them.

Very few people in media today aspire to this vision. Media has become a collection of personalities, albeit a needed one. But The Free Press is different. I’ve watched the team recruit writers, thinkers and unknown voices that openly disagree with one another in an effort to build an enduring institution that remakes the news for the better.

The disagreement is encouraged. The newsroom chose not to endorse a presidential candidate in 2024 because it was so evenly split among itself. No other newsroom can claim this kind of political diversity. The ability to hold conflicting views in one institution is unique. It’s what makes Bari a capable newswoman, a worthy editor-in-chief and a builder who can shepherd The Free Press to new heights, while also shepherding a legacy newsroom in dire need of voices that don’t rebuke half the country for their beliefs.

The best predictor of future success is past success. And the best predictor of future courage is past courage. I look forward to watching this newsroom shine at their new home at CBS News.

Congratulations to The Free Press. What a timeline we’re living in.
