Completely unacceptable to target independent journalists like this — and reporters in general — from @DPakman and @BrianTylerCohen to Don Lemon and @StephenAtHome.
A clear attack on the free press and the first amendment. It needs to be called out. AND CALLED OUT IN FORCE.
Mike Lee has posted 37 times in the last 24 hours about Hegseth removing the Mormons from the Pentagon’s approved list of recognized Christian denominations.
It is not gay if the prisoners bleed and faint from the pain.
Iran’s Ayatollahs issued religious rulings obliging regime agents to rape male prisoners and inflict unbearable pain specifically to avoid homosexuality charges. The ruling requires rape by several male agents to ensure the victim does not enjoy it, bleeds heavily, and suffers extreme trauma.
In 2009, after the disputed election and amid widespread reports of prison rape and torture, Ayatollah Mohammad-Taqi Mesbah-Yazdi ordered the IRGC and morality police to rape female prisoners for pain, trauma, and discipline. The instructions told agents to satisfy themselves and Allah — vaginally or anally — preferably without witnesses, after performing washing and prayer rituals.
For male prisoners, rape is considered permissible and dedicated to Allah. It is to be carried out with other agents who ensure the victim feels no pleasure, only maximum pain — often resulting in severe injury or death.
These practices are not isolated incidents. They have been reported for years in Iran’s most notorious prisons, including Kahrizak and Evin, backed by multiple testimonies and human rights documentation.
This is the true face of the Islamic Republic. A regime that claims religious and moral superiority while officially sanctioning the systematic rape of its own citizens as a tool of control and punishment. This is not a deviation from Islam — it is a logical application of Sharia-based jurisprudence when the state has absolute power.
The same regime that Western politicians still try to negotiate with, appease, and sometimes even legitimize.
Trump has a meltdown and ends the interview
Welker: Just to be very clear, there's no evidence of what you're saying.
Trump: There’s a lot of evidence. There’s tremendous evidence. There’s nothing but evidence. The election was rigged. And it’s happening again in California. They’re cheating.
Welker: Do you have evidence?
Trump: All I have to do is look.
Welker: That’s not evidence. The local officials acknowledge they are slow
Trump: They’re crooked. Just like you’re crooked. You’re either crooked or stupid.
Mike Lee has promoted every form of nasty right-wing demagoguery over the last few years, and is now shocked that his faith is being treated with insufficient sensitivity.
@Mollyploofkins There is just something so unsettlingly, deeply weird about Erica Kirk. It's like she's playing a character, but totally unconvincingly, and what we know of her bio is just so at odds with what we see of her in action. There's some really weird thoughts and ideas going on there.
🚨 DIRECT FROM TEHRAN: "Arm us." The momentum is building.
This man just risked everything to show the world that the Iranian people want to be armed. They are desperate to get this message out, and after the massive response to the video of the woman I posted earlier, more people need to amplify their calls.
I asked for proof from the ground, and he answered by filming this right in the heart of Tehran. Look closely at what he is doing: he is driving down an active highway in broad daylight, holding an illegal sign punishable by death against his steering wheel, right in front of the Milad Tower. He is operating directly under the regime's nose to prove this resistance is real.
For the millions he represents, demanding weapons is no longer a political debate. It is a tactical necessity for survival. Peaceful protest against live ammunition has proven impossible. They aren't asking for foreign boots on the ground. They are asking for the basic means to defend themselves against a systemic slaughter.
He risked his life to bypass the blackouts and deliver this geographical proof. Do not let the regime bury his bravery.
Over the past week I've seen so-called feminists, progressives and Woman Life Freedom activists hurl insane gender-based abuse at Princess Noor Pahlavi.
Why? Because she went to Norway to speak at a public forum for the suffering people in Iran, and meet with Norwegian politicians. During her trip, Princess Noor waved from a balcony while someone held her umbrella. Which is standard protocol for any high profile visitor.
This moment sent the Iranian Left into a wild rage and frenzy, attacking her in exactly same misogynist ways an islamic regime basiji would have done.
Suddenly it didn't matter that she is a highly accomplished businesswoman from a top American university, with years of experience despite having the choice to not work if she didn't want to.
It didn't matter that she has attended rallies, held speeches, engaged with new and legacy media, done interviews, and raised awareness globally for years, once again despite having the option to not do this.
The Left hurled slurs and abuse in her direction for simply being the daughter of the only true Iranian opposition leader, whose name was chanted by millions in January.
These same leftists ironically haven't done much of anything since WLF crashed and burned in 2022. They sit on their behinds and yell at a screen, while the Princess and her whole family are out there, doing something real, making a difference. They don't know what they want, beyond being a sick contrarian.
Leftism hasn't changed even a bit since it allied with Khomeini in 1979. It remains an ideology of the jealous, bitter and ugly.
Real people and real Iranians with a functioning brain are all beyond proud of her achievements.
Long Live Iran.
Long Live our Royal Family.

See the distribution of the 17,000 super-successes in America across all fields.
Jews and Indians are just 3.8% of the population, but are 27% of the super-successes. And Indians have also been here the least time of any group that is over 1% of the population.
As an visible-minority immigrant success story, this is unprecedented for any advanced economy country ever.
India has sent 96 people to America who started billion dollar companies. No one else is even close.
There's only about 5 million Indians in America. Almost one in 50,000 of them is a unicorn founder!
What a holy, special, beautiful people.
I will always fight for them.
