After my parents fled the Islamic Regime in 1979, they found safe haven in Queens, New York.
That’s where I was born. In a tiny apartment in Queens.
My parents had nothing. Not money. Not connections. Not even the ability to speak English.
Unlike Zohran Mamdani, I didn’t go to a fancy private school. I went to a NYC public school that was so crowded there weren’t enough desks for each student. Half the time I sat on the radiator in the back of the room and took notes on my lap.
I rode the MTA bus home, while both my parents worked to put food on the table and rebuild their lives.
And they did rebuild. Because in America, and only in America, capitalism gave them a real chance to start again.
The people supporting Mamdani are just like him. A bunch of entitled rich kids who have no clue how lucky they are, and even less of a clue why they have been conditioned to hate America.
They don’t know what it’s like to buy shoes two sizes too big so you don’t outgrow them before the end of the school year.
To act as the translator for your parents at 6 years old.
To claw your way from having nothing to achieving something.
And today they celebrate, because they’re too dumb or radicalized or both to realize they’re falling for the same Islamist-Marxist lies that caused my parents to flee Iran in the first place.
All to destroy a city that was once a hopeful refuge for millions of people who just wanted a better life.
People like me and my family.
What a sad, sad day.
My heart is absolutely broken for NYC.
In news that will shock no one, it turns out the trans-identified male who was in the women's room at @GoldsGym is a convicted felon who did time for domestic violence.
We've warned FOR YEARS that predators are using the trans label as a cover to harm women and children.
Can someone remind New Yorkers that Venezuela went from being the third richest country in the world in 1992 to eating zoo animals because of socialism.
🧵🚨 MAJOR BREAKING: Inside The New Pluralists: how billionaires weaponized the Biden Administration, targeted Charlie Kirk, and are quietly financing America’s color revolution 🚨🚨
In 2017, a quiet meeting brought representatives of Soros, Koch, Rockefeller, and Ford foundations together for one purpose: to rethink how philanthropy influences politics.
Out of that meeting came the “New Pluralists,” a coalition that would go on to shape the Biden White House’s United We Stand summit, fund censorship-adjacent projects, and eventually intersect with investigations into Turning Point USA ... and the color revolution that's brewing in the United States now.
Thanks to @iamlisalogan and @skdoubledub33 for the research.
As always, patience as I pull together the thread in real time. 👇
I just came across this in an Open Society Foundations document about how to fix public “mistrust” of liberal "democracy," and I honestly feel sick reading it. I've read many alarming quotes, but few are so "mask off" like this.
"I believe the time has come for a responsible, courageous elite, those who care far more about addressing the genuine social problems than about election results. Only a political elite with vision, prudence and a focus on the general good—to whom the electorate… can cede part of their sovereignty in the elections—will be able to justify public trust and spearhead... our struggle to survive.""
Read that again. The proposed solution to the public's distrust in democracy... is less democracy.
An unelected "elite" to whom the public should cede sovereignty.
Abolish democracy to save democracy. This kind of thinking is what we're up against.
NEW: APPROVAL CAME FROM THE TOP
Biden administration AG Garland, his deputy Lisa Monaco and then Director Christopher Wray physically signed off on FBI probe codenamed ARCTIC FROST.
The records via @ChuckGrassley show authorization based on “limited detail and basis” including “open source” media reporting (similar pattern seen with Steele Dossier to justify FISA/surveillance warrants.)
Then probe collected phone records from GOP lawmakers including time, place and length of call.
Phone metadata can be more revealing than the contents of the phone call obtained by wiretaps .

ARCTIC FROST laid foundation for Jack Smith electors probe.
All the phonies clutching their pearls about the sanctity of @TheJusticeDept prior to this administration, can just sit down and shut up now that the sheer Constitutional carnage wrought by the Biden DOJ has been exposed. Hard to believe Merrick Garland was almost on SCOTUS!
If Democrats want to talk about "No Kings," let’s REALLY talk about it.
They attacked their opponents with lawfare.
They blatantly ignored SCOTUS rulings.
They censored the press & social media.
They sicced the FBI on parents & Catholics.
They locked-down our cities & schools.
They forced a vax to participate in society.
They covered-up Biden’s mental decline.
They ran our country with an autopen.
They broke our border on purpose.
Yes, this ALL HAPPENED under Biden-Harris.
Yes, this was completely un-American.
Yes, this was authoritarian.
Yes, this was wrong.
And yes, this is why @realDonaldTrump won in an electoral college landslide back on November 5th.
If he [Trump] cleans up the crime in blue cities he would flip those cities red. This is the real concern for the democrats. Not keeping Americans safe but keeping control. He breaks it down perfectly.
ABC News also had a helicopter in the air ready to capture the ‘No Kings Yes on Prop 50 California Redistricting” human banner with their HD news cameras
I mean what are the odds…. It’s almost like they knew this would happen ahead of time…
Paid and organized propaganda
It turns out the “Hate America” Rallies tomorrow are being funded by the billionaire who hates America the MOST. Anyone surprised?

I watched the “No Kings” rally in Chicago… a sea of white liberals screaming for “freedom” … but what they really want is to keep Black America quarantined in chaos.
They don’t want Trump cleaning up the South Side.
They want 2,500 shootings a year.
They want our sons ducking bullets while they sip lattes in the suburbs.
I challenged them .. come live in the ghetto where I live for 30 days.
I’ll live where you live.
Then tell me who’s oppressed.
Not one accepted.
Because deep down, they love the ghetto they created …as long as they don’t have to live in it.

This is a very BASED take on the No Kings Protests.
"Freedom doesn't mean you get your way. It means I get to call you out for being this ridiculous."
"Freedom Fighters? What I see is cosplayers with Amazon Prime signs and oak milk rage."
"You post resist tyranny from a Starbucks on Wi-Fi."
"That's not rebellion, that's a cry for a participation trophy."
"You're not oppressed, you're just bored and allergic to accountability."
YES — We don’t want an income tax.
YES — We want less regulation on business.
YES — We want meritocracy, the chance to earn what you can, and the ability to build a legacy for your children.
NO — This is not some “FASCIST AGENDA.”
This is quite literally the American Dream.
