Amil Imani 
Beaten, Blinded, Imprisoned Watch the footage closely. On an Iranian street, a man in a Vladimir Putin T-shirt kicks a young woman to the pavement and beats her with the butt of an assault rifle. There is no hesitation in his movements and no fear of consequence. To outside observers, it is a shocking burst of street … Read more
Step outside on a clear, moonless night and look up. Those few thousand stars you can see are a tiny sliver of one galaxy. The Milky Way stretches roughly 100,000 to 120,000 light-years and holds hundreds of billions of stars. Far beyond it, 2.5 million light-years away, Andromeda (M31) glows: a spiral of about a … Read more
The political career of Rep. Ilhan Omar is defined by a pattern of calculated legal manipulation and systemic financial misconduct. While her supporters often attempt to frame these issues as personal oversights, the documented evidence reveals a history of deliberate fraud involving her marriages, her tax filings, and the exploitation of campaign resources for personal enrichment. … Read more
Modern progressivism presents itself as the enlightened endpoint of political history: compassionate, forward-looking, and always on the right side of progress. Strip away the branding, and you find something much older. It is a repackaging of twentieth-century European collectivism, with the same instinct to centralize power and manage the lives of ordinary people. Michael Savage … Read more
Quantum mechanics has a reputation for being random. Dice rolls at the heart of reality, God playing games, and so on. But the full story is stranger: for most of its life, a quantum system is not random at all. The randomness shows up only at one particular moment. The old dream of a predictable … Read more
Thunder cracks across the frozen plains of Minnesota, but the real storm brews in the rotten core of Tim Walz’s regime – a grotesque empire of fraud that devours billions from hardworking taxpayers to fatten Democrat cronies and foreign grifters. This isn’t some shadowy whisper; it’s a full-throated roar of betrayal, where Walz’s lax oversight … Read more
When an Iranian dissident proclaims that “the greatest killer of Iranians has been Islam,” the statement is less an exercise in academic historiography than a cry of immediate political exhaustion. Across the diaspora and within the quiet corners of Tehran, Isfahan, and Shiraz, a powerful counternarrative has taken hold. Confronted with the gallows, morality police, … Read more
Western political commentary frequently treats religion as a purely private affair – a matter of personal devotion, moral reflection, and weekend rituals. From that vantage point, applying deep theological scrutiny to a political candidate like Abdul El-Sayed is dismissed as bigotry or a violation of democratic norms. But having grown up within orthodox Islam, studied its classical … Read more
Western Europe chose national suicide through bureaucratic paralysis and open borders. The American republic now stands on the exact precipice of that civilizational collapse. Across Britain and France, central governments abandoned the most basic duty of the nation-state: the defense of sovereign borders. Decades of unchecked entry, lax law enforcement, and ideological cowardice fractured their … Read more
Quantum Immortality, Branching Realities, and the Illusion of Fate Imagine that somewhere, in a branch of reality you can no longer reach, you did not make it. A car swerved a fraction of a second too late. A coin landed the other way. A moment that ended well for you ended very differently for another … Read more
For decades, the ruling apparatus in Tehran has relied on two foundational lies to maintain its grip on power: first, that the Iranian opposition is fragmented and planless; second, that no viable structure exists inside the country to manage a transition. Today, as the Islamic Republic enters its most precarious era of institutional decay, both … Read more
Jihad is at the core of the “religion of peace.” Jihad occupies most of Islam’s theology and concerns. Jihad is addressed in 9% of the Mecca Quran; 24% of the Medinan Quran; and in 67% of the Sira. True to form, Muslims claim that the emphasis on jihad is about the individual battling his own faults and flaws, … Read more
History is littered with the ghosts of empires that fell and vanished entirely. Babylon is a set of quiet ruins; the Western Roman Empire exists only in textbooks; the ancient Hittites and Assyrians were ultimately swallowed by time. Yet, sitting on the vast high plateau between the Caspian Sea and the Persian Gulf is a … Read more
My breach with Islam started as far back as I could understand things. More to the point, I never embraced Islam in the first place, and I speak for many Iranians. My Early Life While I was born into a non-practicing Shiite Muslim family in Iran, as children, no one within the family forced Islam … Read more
Most people look for foreign influence at the federal border, but on July 30, a paper trail inside the Texas State Capitol proved the real beachhead might be in the state’s banking system. While legacy news cameras chased federal soundbites in Washington, the Texas House Committee on Homeland Security, Public Safety, and Veterans Affairs quietly convened … Read more
From the primitive land of the Arabian Peninsula, over 14 centuries ago, rose Muhammad, an illiterate hired hand for a rich widow, Khadija, claiming he was the bearer of a perfect life prescription from God—the Quran. He claimed humanity could do no better than follow its precepts and emulate Muhammad’s life example to guarantee bliss … Read more
In December 2020, a report by Axios revealed an extensive Chinese intelligence gathering operation operating in the United States between 2011 and 2015. At the center of the story was a Chinese national named Christine Fang (also known as Fang Fang), whom U.S. counterintelligence officials identified as a operative for China’s Ministry of State Security (MSS). Her objective … Read more
The Regime, Its Terror Proxies and the Foreign Powers Devouring a Nation Determining which factions, governments, or movements constitute the greatest threat to a nation relies on subjective political analysis and ideological perspectives. Analysts, political theorists, and citizens view the dynamics surrounding Iran through vastly different lenses depending on their priorities regarding statehood, human rights, … Read more
Let’s be honest: following Ken Paxton is not a job for the faint of heart. For years, he took hit after hit from the left, from the media, and from the Austin establishment, and he still delivered victory after victory for Texas. He fought federal overreach in court and won. He fought the Biden administration … Read more
For over four decades, Washington’s posture toward the Islamic Republic of Iran has oscillated between containment, targeted economic sanctions, and episodic diplomatic engagement. Historian and military strategist Victor Davis Hanson argues that this paradigm has proven utterly ineffective at checking Tehran’s regional aggression or supporting the democratic aspirations of the Iranian public. During a high-profile broadcast exchange with … Read more
