What? The Monkees singing a 16th-century traditional Spanish Christmas carol? Yep, they did!

The Monkees took plenty of flak from magazines that loved comparing them to “real singing groups.” Their flawless a cappella performance of this song made it clear they could actually sing and the criticism was undeserved.|

The Monkees delivered a perfect a cappella version of Riu Chiu in their 1967 Christmas television special. It was later released on their album Missing Links, Vol. 2.

What's your favorite Monkees song?

Your heart should breaking as you read this. Because you all need to realize something about Usha Vance Karoline Leavitt Jennifer Hegseth and Jeanette Rubio These four women right now are each carrying something that most people will never fully understand. Usha Vance pregnant with her fourth child baby boy coming in July and JD chose no formal leave. She is home. Alone. Counting the days. While her husband carries America. Karoline Leavitt who stood at the most powerful podium in America for 39 weeks pregnant never missed a single day. Came back to work four days after having baby Niko. And today holds baby Vivi knowing another briefing is always just around the corner. Jennifer Hegseth who holds seven children together every single time Pete boards that plane. Every deployment. Every trip. Every morning the kids ask where dad is. She answers. Alone. And Jeanette Rubio who has watched her husband cross three continents in one week away from her away from their children for a country that may never fully know her name.

Four women. Four completely different sacrifices. One identical truth. They never asked America to see them. They never posted about what it costs. They never once made it about themselves. They just held everything together. Quietly. Completely. So their husbands could hold America. And today we just need every American to stop for one moment. And say something these four women have waited too long to hear. Thank you. Not for your husbands. For you. For everything you carry that nobody films.

God cover Usha. Cover Karoline. Cover Jennifer. Cover Jeanette. And remind every one of them America sees you. Even on the days it forgets to say it. Make sure to repost this today. Because these women deserve to be seen.

Why do they keep pushing mammograms when safer options exist?

Mammograms are a multi-billion-dollar industry that does more harm than good. They crush the breast under massive pressure and deliver ionizing radiation 1,000× stronger than a chest X-ray — which can stimulate tumor growth, spread cancer cells, and cause new cancers, heart disease, and lung cancer.

False-positive rate is 50-70%. For every 1 life possibly saved out of 2,000 women screened, 50 get unnecessary surgery/chemo/radiation, hundreds more endure extra radiation and biopsies, and 70-80% of “tumors” found aren’t even cancer.

Ultrasound and QT thermography use zero radiation, have far fewer false positives, 40× higher resolution than MRI, and detect abnormalities 8–10 years earlier. They’re already standard in countries that ditched harmful 3D mammograms. Yet insurance refuses to cover the better options.

Mammograms need to be a thing of the past.

🚨 FAMILIES BOARDING FOR “MAGIC”—CBP BOARDING FOR JUSTICE: 28 Child Porn Predators Busted on 8 Cruise Ships, Including Disney Magic & Ruby Princess! 💥

While families chased “happiest memories at sea” aboard the Disney Magic, Ruby Princess, and six other vessels docked at San Diego’s B Street terminal (April 23–27, 2026), U.S. Customs and Border Protection executed a surgical masterstroke of child protection.

CBP officers boarded all eight ships and confirmed 28 foreign crew members—26 from the Philippines, one from Portugal, and one from Indonesia—were actively engaged in the receipt, possession, transportation, distribution, or viewing of child sexual exploitation material (CSEM). Visas instantly revoked. Predators removed from U.S. soil.

This wasn’t random immigration theater. It was precision enforcement at a critical chokepoint: the moment global labor meets American families and their children.

Disney immediately fired its implicated staff and reaffirmed zero tolerance. The rest of the cruise industry now faces the same mirror.

In an age of transnational digital vice networks and lax vetting, CBP just reminded the world: the guardianship of innocence is non-negotiable. The “magic” these crew offered wasn’t pixie dust—it was digital depravity.

Thank God someone was watching. Protect the children. Always. No exceptions. No excuses.

[Reza Pahlavi @PahlaviReza]

My compatriots,

Ali Khamenei, the Zahhak of our time — the demon who, only weeks ago, issued the order for the massacre of tens of thousands of Iran’s finest sons and daughters — is gone.

With his disgraceful death, and that of many of his appointees and affiliates, the Islamic Republic is drawing its final breaths. Through your will and bravery, it will soon be consigned to the dustbin of history. The great nation of Iran seeks the complete fall of the Islamic Republic, and we will bring down this demonic regime.

My message to the remaining officials of this republic of terror is this: surrender to the Iranian nation. Declare your loyalty to my plan and our transition framework, and hand over power without further bloodshed.

Any attempt by the remnants of the regime to appoint a successor to Khamenei is doomed to failure in advance. Whoever they place in his position will not only lack legitimacy, but will also be a partner in the crimes of this regime.

To the military, law enforcement, and security forces, I say: your weapons must be used to defend the great nation of Iran, not the republic of crime, thuggery, and its anti-Iranian criminals. Join the people of Iran and the Lion and Sun Revolution. Use your arms to protect Iranians against the mercenaries of the Islamic Republic so that this 47-year nightmare may end more swiftly.

The death of the criminal Khamenei, though it does not repay the blood that has been shed, can calm the wounded hearts of grieving fathers and mothers, spouses and children, sisters and brothers; a measure of solace for the proud families of the martyrs of Iran’s Lion and Sun Revolution.

Honorable and courageous people of Iran,

The death of the despot of our time, although it marks the beginning of our great national celebration, is not the end of the road. Remain vigilant. Be prepared. The time for a widespread and decisive presence in the streets is very near.

I ask you, while maintaining your security, to demonstrate your satisfaction with and support for the crushing of the Islamic Republic through nightly chants, and to shout your demands for Iran’s future. My strength comes from your strength and your support.

I ask Iranians abroad — who for weeks have worked tirelessly and relentlessly as the powerful voice of our compatriots inside Iran — to intensify your efforts. Force the world to hear the Iranian people’s support for this humanitarian intervention and our demand for the complete fall of the regime.

Sensitive days lie ahead of us. Together, we will walk the path to victory, and we will overthrow the Islamic Republic.

Long live Iran.
Reza Pahlavi

[Ida Turan 🇮🇷 ایده توران @iranidaturan]

The Left doesn't call you far-right, Nazi, fascist, or “dictator” because you actually are.
They fabricate a version of reality that has almost no connection to the truth.

They need that fabricated villain to morally justify their hatred and violence against you.

Iranians learned this the hardest, most bitter way possible.

They called the Shah of Iran a "dictator" too.
Just like they're calling President Trump one now.

The Shah wasn't a dictator, not even close.
But they inflated death tolls, blamed him for tragedies like the Cinema Rex fire they themselves caused, pinned suicides and accidents on SAVAK, and repeated the lies until they felt like truth.

The goal was to destroy the love, trust, and loyalty ordinary Iranians had for him.

It worked.

When Khomeini was flown in from Paris, he was fully supported by global leftists. When a group of armed rebels invaded the country, the army stood down.

Almost no one defended the Shah. The people had been brainwashed into seeing him as the enemy.

Soon they realized the terrible deception.
The revolutionaries never wanted freedom.

Their real drive was envy: envy of success, beauty, power, achievement. They weaponize morality, language, academia, everything to tear the successful down to their own level of misery.

That's exactly what the Iranian Revolution was: a coalition of resentful, envy-driven groups.

They burned everything the Shah had built, changed the ancient flag, executed patriots and great Iranians simply for being competent and loyal to the nation.

For 47 years, with all the oil money in the world, they printed books, made films, funded lobbies, trained generations of academics, all to keep repeating the grudge against the Shah.

That grudge later shifted: first to America ("Death to America" became their core chant), then to successful Arabs (that's why, as their regime nears collapse, they now obsess over destroying the Burj Khalifa in Dubai).

This nightmare is finally ending for us Iranians.

But I watch America and Europe with deep concern.
It's the exact same playbook.

They vilify Trump and Elon Musk, not because of reality, but out of pure envy.
They manufacture lies, labels, and outrage to justify hatred and violence against them.

Please, learn from Iran. Otherwise you will also have to live it to learn.

Strategic Suicide: Iran’s Historic Blunder. China’s Oil Lifeline Is About to Collapse.

The US and Israel struck Iran, but the real shockwave will hit Beijing.

This isn’t just another Middle East escalation. Iran is the backbone of China’s West Asia strategy: discounted oil, yuan settlements, sanctions evasion, and a critical Belt and Road anchor. Now missiles have crossed Gulf airspace, Dubai has shut down, and regional alignment is shifting fast.

If Iran destabilizes, China loses a sanctioned oil lifeline and a key geopolitical pillar. If Hormuz closes, the energy shock hits Beijing hard.

[Restoring Your Faith in Humanity @HumanityChad]

The day a 7-Year-Old Stole the Stadium ❤️

At an LA Galaxy match in 2018, the loudest moment of the night didn’t come from a goal - it came from a seven-year-old with a microphone.

Malea Emma Tjandrawidjaja stepped onto the field to sing the U.S. national anthem and delivered a performance far beyond her years. Her voice was big, steady, and fearless, filling the stadium with a confidence that stunned both fans and players.

The crowd rose to its feet before she even finished the final note, turning a routine pre-game tradition into something unforgettable. Even Zlatan Ibrahimović took notice, later calling her the true “MVP of the game.”

It wasn’t just cute or impressive, it was genuinely powerful. In a stadium built for sports heroes, a young singer created the night’s most iconic moment, proving that talent doesn’t wait for age.

Reza Pahlavi releases statement:

“My dear compatriots,

Moments of destiny lie ahead of us.

The aid that the President of the United States promised to the brave people of Iran has now arrived. This is a humanitarian intervention; and its target is the Islamic Republic, its repressive apparatus, and its machinery of slaughter—not the country and great nation of Iran.

But, even with the arrival of this aid, the final victory will still be forged by our hands. It is we, the people of Iran, who will finish the job in this final battle. The time to return to the streets is near.

Now that the Islamic Republic is collapsing, my message to the country's military, police, and security forces is clear:

You have sworn an oath to protect Iran and the Iranian people—not the Islamic Republic and its leaders. Your duty is to defend the people, not a regime that has taken our homeland hostage through repression and crime. Join the people and help bring about a stable and secure transition. Otherwise, you will go down with Khamenei's sinking ship and his regime.

And my message to the President of the United States, President Trump, is this:

The noble people of Iran, despite the savage repression and massacres of this regime, stood firm with courage for nearly two months. I now ask you to exercise the utmost caution to preserve the lives of civilians and my compatriots. The people of Iran are your natural allies and those of the free world, and they will never forget your support in the most difficult period in contemporary Iranian history.

And to you, my dear compatriots in Iran:

In these sensitive hours and days, more than ever, we must stay focused on our ultimate goal: reclaiming Iran.

I ask you to remain in your homes for now and preserve your safety and security. Stay vigilant and ready so that, at the appropriate time—which I will announce to you precisely—you can return to the streets for the final action.

Follow my messages through social media and satellite media. If there are disruptions to the internet and satellite, I will stay in touch with you via radio waves.

We are very close to final victory. I want to be by your side as soon as possible so that together we can take back and rebuild Iran.

Long live Iran,
Reza Pahlavi”

Ignore all those losers who are now suddenly spewing venom or crying about how "Trump's attack was unauthorized," "Trump is a dictator," "he's out of control," or "he's a threat to democracy." Just let them cry.

They were banking on the system's corruption to block the right thing from happening, and now they're total losers. They can’t do shit. Nobody takes them seriously.

Americans! You should be proud of this legendary man. Be proud of yourselves for staying awake and believing in him despite the avalanche of lies, propaganda, and vicious smear campaigns.

This is the man who, with intelligence, courage, and conviction, pulled America back from the brink. Remember if America falls, the world will follow.

Without fear or hesitation، unlike all those weak, corrupt Western leaders, he stood tall and unapologetically behind truth and justice for Israel.

He was smart enough and visionary enough to know exactly where the most important battle of our time is being fought: Iran.

A free Iran flips the entire global equation toward goodness and peace.

A free Iran means lasting peace in the Middle East and the world.

Concerning Iran…

[Houman David Hemmati, MD, PhD @houmanhemmati]

🇮🇷 47 years ago, I stood at a window in Tehran as a 3-year-old boy, smelling burning tires and hearing the chants that would steal my country. I didn’t have words for what was happening. Today, I am watching smoke rise over the same city — but this time the smoke is not the end of Iran. It is, God willing, the beginning of her resurrection.

Several weeks ago I wrote in that the fever of 1979 was finally breaking. I never imagined I would wake up to see that fever confronted so directly. Israel — with the clear support of the United States — has launched a preemptive strike deep into Tehran and against the regime’s military machinery. Explosions in the capital. Military targets hit. The IRGC’s aura of invincibility, already cracked, is shattering in real time.

I do not celebrate war. No decent person does. What I celebrate — what millions of Iranians inside the country and in the diaspora have prayed for in secret for decades — is the possibility that a regime which has no right to exist may finally be forced to go.

This is the same regime that:
- Armed and cheered the October 7 massacre against Israel for no reason other than pure genocidal hatred.
- Murdered tens of thousands of its own sons and daughters who dared to walk peacefully in the streets demanding the most basic freedoms.
- Gouges out the eyes of young women for the “crime” of wearing makeup.
- Hangs teenagers from cranes for posting a tweet.
- Exports terror, poverty, and darkness to every corner it can reach including the U.S.

No nation, no people, should have to live under that. Not Israelis. Not Americans. Not Lebanese. Not Syrians. And certainly not Iranians.

I am a physician who has spent his life trying to heal bodies and a son of Iran who has spent his life mourning a stolen homeland. What we are witnessing is not aggression — it is surgery. Painful, necessary surgery to remove a tumor that has metastasized for 47 years. The tumor is the Islamic Republic that has hijacked Iran.

To the brave pilots and special operators of the Israeli Air Force and the men and women of the United States military now carrying out this mission: I pray for you with everything I have.

May God shield you from harm. May every missile find its target and every soldier return home safely to the families who love them. You are not invaders. You are the answer to the prayers of millions who have whispered “enough” in the dark since 1979. You are giving our friends the chance to breathe free air again. The entire region will owe you a peace we have not known in my lifetime.

To my fellow Iranians watching from inside the country right now, heart pounding, maybe hiding in basements or on rooftops: Hold on. The end is clearer than it has ever been. The regime’s fear is real. Their eyes — those same eyes that once stared down at us with absolute power — now show something they haven’t shown in decades: panic. The math has changed. The window of 1979 is finally closing.

To the little three-year-old boy I once was — and to every little boy and girl in Tehran, Isfahan, Shiraz, and Tabriz today who hears explosions instead of lullabies: This time the sounds are not the closing of a door. They are the opening of one.

The road ahead will not be easy. Transitions never are. But the direction is unmistakable. A secular, prosperous, free Iran is no longer a dream — it is becoming an inevitability.

I have lived the stolen life so that others might not have to. Today, for the first time in 47 years, I allow myself to believe that the stealing is almost over.

Thank you, Israel. Thank you, America. The Iranian people — the real Iran — will never forget.

The fever is breaking.
The dawn of 2026 is here.
And this time, the light wins.

🇮🇷❤️🇮🇱🇺🇸
