“In line with the policy set by the great martyred Leader of the Islamic Revolution, the Islamic Republic of Iran considers the defense of these oppressed yet powerful mujahideen [of Hezbollah] to be its strategic mandate. Today, as the nations of the world have grown weary of the tyranny and oppression of the U.S. government and the criminal Zionists, who are the destroyers of lives and generations, there remains no path forward except jihad and resistance.”
–statement issued under the name of Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei.
Respectfully, Mr. President, I do not think that the Iranians want a deal. Unleash Israel and the U.S. military upon these folks. Thank you.
“The American president should arrest Netanyahu or [Russian President Vladimir] Putin in accordance with international law. Full stop. America needs to cooperate with the ICC [International Criminal Court]. It’s a matter of human rights, and it’s a matter of a rules-based international order, and he should order the marshals to arrest someone if they come to our jurisdiction.”
–Representative Ro Khanna (D. Ca.).
What a stupid, stupid thing to say. Neither the United States nor Israel are subject to the ICC’s jurisdiction. And they should not be. It is a cruel fiction that there is such a thing as “international law”. There is not. International law masks the conduct that nations wish to sanction, no matter how dreadful.
The United States should never act to weaken or lessen its national sovereignty. And it should not be violating treaties that give visiting heads of government immunity from arrest. Otherwise, some day, somewhere, the President of the United States will be arrested by a Leftist lunatic government in a sh**hole country.
“In 100 days, the people of this country have a critical choice: common sense or crazy.
As the Democrat Party surrenders to the extreme far Left, Republicans continue to deliver for the American people. But we aren’t finished yet. It’s time to choose between our country and communism. It’s a contrast for America, and the choice is YOURS.”
–Statement issued by House of Representatives Speaker Mike Johnson (R. La.).
He is absolutely correct. The choice could not be more clear.
The China Joe tapes make it clear that he broke every law he falsely accused President Trump of breaking. China Joe illegally retained and improperly stored classified government documents. China Joe illegally leaked classified information to a ghost writer he hired to write one of “his” books. China Joe should be in prison.
The Democrat Party has founded a faux “conservative” organization claiming to be against the construction of data centers. Much of the funding for this faux “conservative” organization comes from Chinese aligned sources. Well, well, is that no interesting?
California continues to subsidize consumer purchases of electric vehicles. Why? Why should some taxpayers subsidize the transportation choices of other taxpayers. And where is the money coming from? California’s government is broke, and in debt. This is asinine.
In Issaquah, Washington, at a local Farmers Market, 2 lesbians went up to 2 strangers and verbally assaulted them over their wearing Charlie Kirk t-shirts. One lesbian expressed her delight that Charlie Kirk was murdered, while the other lesbian exclaimed “I hate you”, and subsequently cursing Jesus Christ. Huh. That behavior kind of takes the fun out of the Farmers Market experience.
Democratic Hawaii Lt. Gov. Sylvia Luke was indicted by a grand jury on charges of criminal conspiracy to commit bribery, bribery and falsifying candidate committee reports stemming from a bribe she allegedly took as a state lawmaker in 2022. Sigh. That’s a shame.
Why are Democrats funding the U.S. Senate candidacy of Dan Osborn (I. Ne.)? Because Mr. Osborn is actually a Democrat, not an Independent. Indeed, Dan Osborn was a leading proponent of recruiting Graham Platner to run for Senate in Maine. So Dan Osborn is not only a covert Democrat, but he is also likely a Communist and a Nazi.
It is official, Troy Jackson is the replacement Maine Democrat U.S. Senate nominee. The man is Graham Platner 2.0. He supports all the same things that Mr. Platner supports. He is entangled in a mortgage fraud investigation. He has been credibly accused of physical abuse of women. On the positive side, Mr. Jackson does not appear to have a Nazi tattoo. Then again, no one has seen him with his shirt off, so we do not know for sure.
Before Maine Democrats nominated Mr. Jackson, the party’s chairman led the assembled delegates in a land acknowledgement, stating that they were meeting on “stolen lands”. Why are Democrats always acknowledging “stolen lands”, but never giving it back?
In Chicago, Illinois, 7 taxpayer funded grocery stores are permanently closed. Because socialism never works. Are you paying attention, Comrade Mayor Mamdani (D. N.Y.)?
Comrade Mayor Mamdani published the names of the “rich” who would be subjected to his special 2nd homes tax, as well as their addresses. The government identifying the targets for special taxes, whom it has been vilifying since the election campaign? This is sinister. It is dangerous.
“I’ve learned as much about my faith from Salman’s tradition, from the Islamic mystics, from poets like Rumi, as much as I have from Christian authors.”
–U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico (D. Tx.).
Minnesota public schools are working with “trans” dolls in lessons with children as young as 4 years old. The dolls have removable and interchangeable genitalis and other body parts. THIS IS DISGUSTING! IT IS CHILD ABUSE! And why are 4 year olds already in government schools?
Oregon’s ballot initiative to ban hunting, fishing, and ranching has crashed and burned. Organizers failed to secure the requisite amount of signatures to place the initiative on the ballot.
“Every marriage is important, and we are working to ensure that same-sex marriage continues to be legal.”
–Bishop Jennifer Reddell of the Episcopal Diocese of Arizona.
Has Bishop Reddell ever read The Bible? Does she understand that God created Adam and Eve, and not Adam and Steve? Does not Genesis 2:24 state that “Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh”? Genesis is the very 1st book of The Bible? How does Bishop Reddell read that passage and misunderstand what constitutes a “marriage”?
I don’t care what former Presiding Bishops Katharine Jefferts Schori and Michael Curry think. I do not care what current Presiding Bishop Sean Rowe thinks. I do not care what resolutions the General Convention pass. Man cannot override God’s Word. It is the height of arrogance to think otherwise.
The Wind & Sea restaurant in the Dana Point Harbor [California] is closing after more than 50 years. It is the last original Harbor restaurant standing, and come mid-September, will be no more. The Dana Point Harbor has been undergoing redevelopment, which has forced the original businesses to close, one by one. My favorite, the Harbor Grille, closed a couple of years ago. Very sad.
Did you know that the Oatmeal Creme Pie was the very first Little Debbie snack cake? It was, first baked and sold in 1935, in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Selling price was 5 cents. A bargain!
Cracker Barrel CEO Julie Felss Masino is stepping down after the failure of her “woke” rebrand last year. Super! Now bring back the good food!
“The US used to be a beacon of human rights. Not anymore. Today, it stands alongside North Korea, Nicaragua, Mali & Russia, isolated. And the world no longer listens to it.”
–Official statement by the French mission to the United Nations, in New York City.
You know what; the hell with France! But for the United States, they would be speaking German (or Russian). The French are nothing but a nation of cheese munching surrender monkeys who have not won a war since Charlemagne was head of The Holy Roman Empire. AND, California wine is far superior to the swill produced in France.
ICE deported former Indianapolis Colts linebacker Daniel Ogama Adongo. He overstayed his visa, and was in the country illegally. And he has a criminal record. Good-bye!
Congratulations to Elsie MacCleery on winning the 101st Virginia State Golf Association’s Women’s Amateur Championship. The event was held at The Roanoke Country Club.
