This is my Red Line.

If this passes into law, I am voting straight Democrat in November.

At least the Dems might actually reverse this and charge the Republicans with Treason, which they should.

🚨 BREAKING: Chuck Schumer just announced he will FORCE an “extended government shutdown” if the SAVE Act—requiring proof of citizenship to vote—comes to the Senate

Dems KNOW they will NEVER win an election again if only citizens vote.

NUKE THE FILIBUSTER AND PASS THE SAVE ACT!

I was the press attaché at the U.S. Embassy in Tehran when I was taken hostage for 444 days by the zealous followers of Ayatollah Khomeini. During that time, the spokesperson for the hostage‑takers, Massoumeh Ebtekar—whom we called “Mary”—interrogated us with venom and publicly threatened to put us on “trial” and execute us on the spot.

Today, in a bitter irony, Ebtekar’s son, Issah Hashemi, lives comfortably in Los Angeles and works as an academic.

And now another example of this hypocrisy has been challenged. Dr. Fatemeh Larijani‑Ardeshir, daughter of Ali Larijani—the Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council and a key figure in the violent crackdown on Iranian protesters—was just “dismissed” from Emory University’s Winship Cancer Institute. This came only days after the U.S. Treasury sanctioned Ali Larijani and other architects of the Islamic Republic’s repression. Emory has not said whether her dismissal is tied to those sanctions.

For many in the Iranian diaspora—and for those of us who survived captivity—the presence of regime offspring living privileged lives in the U.S. has become a flashpoint for anger after decades of repression. We have watched the Islamic Republic murder thousands of protesters, extort grieving families for the bodies of their loved ones, and force them to bury their children in silence.

Meanwhile, the children of regime elites enjoy safety, freedom, and opportunity in the very country their parents condemn.

This contradiction is now at the center of a growing movement—one gaining momentum with each new revelation. Justice demands that we confront this hypocrisy.

Tim Dillon: “Everything is a scripted reality show.”

“You’re grabbing people left and right … you then have protests everywhere and you have ICE responding with deadly force.”

“You’re stirring the pot and creating mini civil wars all over the country that people are watching on television.”

“And you’re not going after employers that are employing illegal labor.”

“You’re not going after the big hotel magnates that employ illegal labor.”

“You’re not going after big agricultural firms that do the same thing.”

“If you are using illegal labor to build housing, housing should be cheap, right?”

“Agriculture, there’s a lot of illegal labor used in agriculture.”

“Then the food should be cheap, right?”

“Well, no. The food is the most expensive it’s ever been.”

“What about the houses?”

“They’re the most expensive they’ve ever been.”

“What about staying at hotels and eating out at restaurants?”

“No, that’s more expensive than it’s ever been.”

Buy old cars.

No government should have a kill switch to any of your tech, most especially a vehicle going 75 mph.

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

Federal law says new cars after 2026 must monitor drivers and shut down if the car disapproves. Your dashboard should not be judge, jury, and executioner.

@RepScottPerry @RepChipRoy offered an amendment to defund the automobile kill switch mandate. Here’s our debate:

To all of our friends around the world,

Under the yoke of the Islamic Republic, Iran is identified in your minds with terrorism, extremism, and poverty. The real Iran is a different Iran. A beautiful, peace-loving, and flourishing Iran.

It is the Iran that existed before the Islamic Republic, and it is the Iran that will rise again from its ashes the day the Islamic Republic falls.

So let me be clear about how a free Iran will act toward its neighbors and the world, after the fall of this regime.

In security and foreign policy, Iran’s nuclear military program will end. Support for terrorist groups will cease immediately. A free Iran will work with regional and global partners to confront terrorism, organized crime, drug trafficking, and extremist Islamism.

Iran will act as a friend and a stabilizing force in the region. And it will be a responsible partner in global security.

In diplomacy, relations with the United States will be normalized and our friendship with America and her people will be restored. The State of Israel will be recognized immediately. We will pursue the expansion of the Abraham Accords into the Cyrus accords bringing together a free Iran, Israel, and the Arab world.

A new chapter will begin, grounded in mutual recognition, sovereignty, and national interest.

In energy, Iran holds some of the largest oil and gas reserves in the world. A free Iran will become a reliable energy supplier to the free world. Policy-making will be transparent. Iran’s actions will be responsible. Prices will be predictable.

In transparency and governance, Iran will adopt and enforce international standards. Money laundering will be confronted. Organized corruption will be dismantled. Public institutions will answer to the people.

In the economy, Iran is one of the world’s last great untapped markets. Our population is educated, modern, with a diaspora that connects it to the four corners of the world. A democratic Iran will open its economy to trade, investment, and innovation. And Iran will seek to invest in the world.

Opportunity will replace isolation.

This is not an abstract vision. It is a practical one. Grounded in national interest, stability, and cooperation.
To achieve this, now is the time to stand with the Iranian people. The fall of the Islamic Republic and the establishment of a secular, democratic government in Iran will not only restore dignity to my people, it will benefit the region and the world.

A free Iran will be a force for peace. For prosperity. And for partnership.

🚨 MEXICO IS BEING FORCED INTO AN IMPOSSIBLE CORNER

Footage is flooding in of Mexican military units moving toward the U.S. border — and it’s not happening in a vacuum.

President Trump has just reclassified the cartels for what they truly are:
Not criminals… but a hostile, armed power operating next door.
And that changes everything.

The cartels:
• control territory
• run billion-dollar drug empires
• move military-grade weapons
• assassinate politicians
• and flood the U.S. with narcotics

That’s not organized crime.
That’s a parallel state.

Now Washington is signaling that this is no longer a policing problem — it’s a national-security threat.

And Mexico is caught in the middle.

If the U.S. moves against the cartels, Mexico faces three brutal realities:

Let America act — and expose how little control Mexico truly has

Try to block it — and risk confrontation with a superpower

Do nothing — and admit the cartels run the country
That is why you are seeing troops moving.

Not to fight the United States…
But because the illusion of sovereignty is cracking.
For decades, the cartels grew under protection, corruption, and political cover.

Now the reckoning is coming.

And when a criminal empire is challenged by a superpower, the entire region feels the shockwave.

This is not about borders anymore.

It’s about who really controls Mexico.
