Abdul El-Sayed has repeatedly and deceptively made the claims that former President Obama made Saturday and which we should thank @theobjectivist for rebutting, as well as @brithume for amplifying the succinct rebuttal.

We are used to this nonsense about the JCPOA from 44 and his acolytes about the JCPOA. The JCPOA was a nightmare for the reasons detailed below. President Trump was right to exit it in his first term and enforce the vow of five presidents to
never allow Iran to have a nuke.

The most important fact is that Iran was close to “breakout” this February. President Trump and PM Netanyahu ordered the nuclear program that was being rebuilt after Operation Midnight Hammer obliterated it to be crushed —again. Operation Epic Fury did that this year.

The IRGC fanatics still haven’t abandoned their dream of nukes with which to blackmail the world and a forest of missiles with which to protect them. They appear to be trying to restart their nuclear weapons program. Trump and Netanyahu may have to crush it again, though the rump regime is running on fumes thanks to the blockade.

What America doesn’t need is an extremist apologist for the rump regime in Tehran, and that is exactly what El-Sayed is. This is the most important race in the country this cycle and pray the good people of Michigan see through the charade of El-Sayed and send serious, sensible and moderate @MikeRogersForMI to the Senate.

I’m going to say the quiet part out loud here which is: we have more than 70 Inspectors General (IG in govt agencies/departments and the IG’s job it is to STOP FRAUD. They typically employ criminal investigators, special agents and auditors…Let that sink in. There is even a Council of Inspectors General above them to oversee the overseers. So all of these people in all of these agencies, every single one of them failed to do their job? And the IG’s whose job it was to make the other IG’s do their job, also failed to do THEIR job? Why is that? Or maybe the first question is “How is that possible?”. The obvious answer is that nothing like this can occur naturally. Or without intent. It is too big, too consistent over too many years. Perhaps it means that the bastards who are paid to stop corruption are themselves corrupt? Perhaps they are just fine with the ideological benefits of allowing people to steal from taxpayers to fund certain ideological causes, like Islamic terrorism or perhaps marxism or radical gender mutilation of children? Whatever the motivation, the outcome is absolutely certain: wethepeople have been getting screwed for far too long. And the people we trusted to make sure we were not getting screwed have been screwing us over as well. And then blaming us. Wonderful. Wethepeople wants refunds on stolen blood, sweat & tears.

@VickieforNYC The mayor's premise is all wrong. This search of Omar's residence isn't about an offense of disagreeing with the White House. It's about having enough evidence to convince a judge to issue a search warrant.

[Spencer Pratt @spencerpratt]

Every once in a blue moon SNL shows a glimmer of hope for being funny. This is hilarious.

[Mark Wiehenstroer @mark_06]

@spencerpratt Thanks for posting. Anthony Cumia on his show tonight (77WABC) just gave us the rundown on this skit. Funny as hell and Anthony just gave us his take which made it even funnier.

[Hon. Vickie Paladino @VickieforNYC]

The only time they mobilize like this is for illegals and criminals. It’s insane.

Over the last couple of weeks the Bronx saw a baby shot and an NYPD officer stabbed multiple times by gang members in the country illegally, plus dozens of other street crimes.

Did the governor call any of them? Did she do a media campaign on their behalf? Did Zohran break out his podium and talk about how angry and sad he is?

Nope. They only do that for illegals and criminals. Those are the people they care about the most, and it’s plainly obvious.

[Hon. Vickie Paladino @VickieforNYC]

I don’t know how to make this any clearer: Democrats are fully committed to decarceration.

They do not believe criminals belong in jail, nor do they believe in policing as we understand it.

They want criminals on the street no matter what they’ve done, and they want the police drastically limited in their ability to preserve order. It doesn’t matter how many people are hurt or killed; this is what the ideology demands and so this is what they’re doing.

When you vote for a Democrat — any Democrat in any race in any part of the country — this is what you’re voting for, no matter how ‘moderate’ they present themselves.

This is the core of the party. This is what they are now.

[Gunnery Sergeant Jessie Jane Duff @JessieJaneDuff]

New York is done with Letitia James’s lawfare circus. Four more years of political stunts instead of prosecutions? No chance.

@sarithaforny
put terrorists and cartel bosses in prison. Lock up repeat offenders, back local prosecutors, and put crime ahead of political cases.

Put her in office. Let’s go 🔥

[Mark Wiehenstroer @mark_06]

Amen.

[Trish Regan @trish_regan]

Zohran Mamdani is an EVIL human being.

Exhibit A — a disgusting post from this “Mayor” of NYC on the anniversary of a terrorist attack.

It is dangerous to have someone like this in power.

Islam is political.

If you don’t believe me, READ HIS WORDS.

[Hon. Vickie Paladino @VickieforNYC]

This is a genuinely insane take.

Instead of trying to figure out why the American birth rate is down and pledging to fix the conditions that led us here, he says we should just replace Americans with foreigners. Essentially he's giving up on America as a concept and a people.

Birth rate decline is a very serious issue, with real economic and cultural factors causing it. It's not insurmountable though, and there are things we can do as a nation to fix it.

Demographic replacement is the exact OPPOSITE of what we should do here. Especially when the people they've chosen to import usually have diametrically opposite values and priorities -- and we no longer make any effort to assimilate them at all, also thanks to Democrats like Schumer.

A 'great future in America' isn't to make it look like Pakistan or Somalia by importing millions of people from places like that and demanding absolutely zero assimilation from them while they fleece what's left of our social services and laugh at us.

That's not America -- that's destroying America. But that's exactly the intention here.

We don't live on magic dirt. America is what it is because of the people who built it -- their values, their ethics, and their religion. Our historically successful immigration system WAS successful precisely because we gave very little to immigrants and demanded a great deal of them. As such, we attracted immigrants who were up for the challenge, and thrived accordingly.

Then that equation was completely inverted. We now give a great deal to immigrants and demand almost nothing. And the quality of our immigrants reflects that inversion.

We aren't going to rebuild the American population with third-world scammers and people who have been taught to hate everything America has ever been.

But that's what Democrats are trying to sell us. They don't want to help Americans succeed, they want to replace us with people who want to destroy what we've all worked for generations to build.

Three years ago today, Hamas murdered ~1,200 people in Israel and took ~250 hostages. They stormed the Nova festival at dawn and slaughtered families in their homes.

The deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust. Since then, Israel has fought the terrorists who did it and defended its land and its people. October 7th. Never again.

[Mark Wiehenstroer @mark_06]

I agree. It is the right message that highlights the differences between the Iranian regime and the West. It goes beyond high petroleum prices.

[Rebeccah Heinrichs @RLHeinrichs]

This is the right message, and the way to understand the successful campaign against the Iran regime.

[Trish Regan @trish_regan]

Funny how that works. 🤔

[Sovey @SoveyX]

I keep coming back to this moment.
Peter steps out onto the water and he's fine, right up until he looks at the storm instead of at Jesus.
That's when he starts to sink.

We all know that feeling.
The fear gets loudest the moment we take our eyes off what matters and start staring at the chaos.
It is time to keep our eyes on what matters.

This morning I'll be focused on my family and attending church.

I hope you all get to spend today doing what brings you peace, surrounded by the people you love.

[Lara Logan @laralogan]

This did not happen quickly - it was a war of attrition that happened over time. In 1988, I moved to France from South Africa. I was 17-years-old and went to see the world & work as an “au pair”. In truth, I was a slightly glorified servant who spent some of my time on my hands & knees cleaning up the pee of a spoiled French child who preferred to piss all over the bathroom floor & walls rather than use the toilet. At the time, French people would often bemoan the influx of Arabs to their country, mostly from Algeria. I thought they were racist & felt very uncomfortable. Fast forward to today & you see that over the last 48 years since I was living in Paris, the city has been partially conquered, parallel Muslim societies have been allowed to fester & proliferate & these are no go areas for the law where police officers dare not go for risk of being murdered like colleagues that have gone before them. What I did not see then was what we are witnessing today: the leftist-Islamist alliance. These are both proxy forces for the globalists who are pulling the puppet strings & funding the invasion & conquest of western civilization.

The thing about being older is that you’ve been around long enough to know things. It is harder to deceive those who have witnessed first hand. That’s one of the many reasons they target the young - newly indoctrinated, no life experience to speak of & all the enthusiasm of a young puppy with none of the wisdom of an old dog.

When you’ve been around long enough to watch immigration turn from a humanitarian gesture to a weapon of invasion & conquest, you know the truth. No one can con you or shame you into going along becaue you know what matters & you no longer care what they say about you.

I’m not going down with the ship. And I’m not sending my children to drown in the depths of oblivion either. We’re here, we are true, we are lawful and we are strong. But above all…we are faithful.

We get it one life to live. Make it count.

[Mark Wiehenstroer @mark_06]

I never have and never will be lectured from the likes of Zohran Mamdani, Hasan Piker, and Ilhan Omar for the reasons given by Victor Davis Hanson here and more.

[Daily Signal @DailySignal]

Victor Davis Hanson takes on Zohran Mamdani, Hasan Piker, and Ilhan Omar over a glaring double standard in their attacks on America.

They condemn the United States and Israel over colonialism, inequality, oppression, and war—but rarely apply that same scrutiny to Uganda, Turkey, Somalia, and the countries they or their families came from.

Hanson’s message is simple: before condemning America, look in the mirror.

@VDHanson

[Lara Logan @laralogan]

Quick election update: Is the Republican establishment actively working against Pres Donald Trump so they can blame him for any losses in the midterms? Is this how they try to crush the MAGA movement? Because they despise the people as much as their elitist colleagues on the left? It certainly looks that way.

Victor Davis Hanson: Iran Is on the Brink of a Historic Collapse

After 50 years of a regime hostile to the U.S. and Europe, Iran’s military and nuclear complex is in shambles, its economy is broke, and its currency is worthless.

Now, continued pressure could push the regime to the breaking point.

“If it should crack, it will be the most calamitous, major, significant change in world political affairs since the fall of the Berlin Wall.”

What happened on the flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv was not luck. It was courage.

An attacker tried to crash a plane full of Israelis. Passengers and crew fought back, subdued him, and saved every life on board.

That is the Israeli spirit: resilience under fire, strength when it matters most.

They will keep attacking. They will keep targeting. They will keep spreading lies.

The truth is simpler. Israel is fighting terrorism and oppression. That fight belongs to every free society.

They will do anything to stop Israel from existing.

They will fail.

Israel is unstoppable. Unbeatable. And it will prevail — no matter what they do.

[Benjamin Netanyahu - בנימין נתניהו @netanyahu]

My salute to the Indian pilot Captain Smit Machchhar for his extraordinary bravery.

Despite being stabbed and seriously injured, he fought back, resisted, opened the cockpit door, and enabled passengers and crew to overpower the attacker — preventing a catastrophic mid-air disaster.

He saved the lives of 174 people, including Israeli citizens and other nationals.

I wish Captain Machchhar a speedy and full recovery.

He is a true hero.
