During the Iranian Revolution, leftist students, communists, and Muslims were all united in overthrowing the Shah.
The leftists celebrated when Khomeini returned in 1979. They thought they defeated capitalism and imperialism. It didn’t last long.
Around 30,000 leftists who helped the Islamic regime consolidate power were soon executed. That’s where the term “useful idiot” comes from.
They served their purpose and were no longer needed. Muslims had always despised their progressive ideals and couldn’t wait to get rid of them.
One of the women celebrating in the picture was killed, the other fled the country for her life.
It’s bizarre that almost 50 years later, Western leftists are making the exact same mistake and allying with Muslims. They will have the same fate.
Hard days reveal what easy days hide.
Nobody's attitude gets tested on a good day.
Nobody's faith gets proven when everything is working. Nobody's character shows up when the meeting goes well and the boss is happy and the project lands perfectly.
That's just a good day.
The hard day is where everything real lives.
How you treat people when you're tired.
How you respond when you're wronged.
How you show up when showing up costs you something.
That's the version of you that matters.
@JDMainer@HistorianUSA1 My daughter is a junior in HS, 3.945 GPA. Been taking Honors and AP classes for 3 years. All she’s said about her post-HS plans is she might go to community college first b/c it’s cheaper. We’ve told her to pursue whatever career she wants, but make sure you can pay the bills.
@GrageDustin@Loonbird1 I had a boomer manager who retired a few years ago. His social media feed is nothing but “Trump sucks” or “Trump is an idiot.” How sad that he spends his golden years still criticizing DJT. I must’ve missed those years when he was praising the wonders of Biden 😂😂😂
🚨 ICYMI: Minnesota’s “report card” is in.

⬆️ Violent crime up
💸 Billions lost to fraud
When outcomes keep moving the wrong direction, it’s time to reassess priorities.
Minnesotans deserve safe streets, strong schools, growing paychecks, and accountable government.
Results matter. 🇺🇸
@space_case12 Don’t know where you lived in MN. My daughter is in one of the top districts in MN, so we decided not to move to FL until she graduated. Good luck to you!
