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.

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.

During a high-profile broadcast exchange with … Read more
The tarmac belongs to the state, yet the Islamic cult claims the asphalt for themselves every single Friday.

Streets bleed red with self-inflicted wounds while the republic sleeps. Forty-five thousand foreign-born radicals flood Michigan asphalt, executing violent ritual flagellation to mourn a warlord dead for thirteen centuries. A foreign sectarian war invades United States borders. Shia zealots march through Dearborn, swinging blades and chains into their own flesh. This spectacle honors Hussein, a … Read more
The late President Reagan played a crucial role in dismantling the scourge of Soviet communism, while you, Mr. President, are committed to consigning the standard bearers of Islamic terrorism to their well-deserved demise. Mr. President, you have repeatedly pointed out that appeasing tyrants invariably fails to satisfy them and only whets their appetite. The previous … Read more
Jimmy Carter authored the single greatest foreign policy betrayal in modern human history. His cowardly abandonment of the Shah of Iran directly birthed the world’s most dangerous state sponsor of terrorism. President Ronald Reagan famously exposed this catastrophic blunder with unyielding fury. Reagan identified the betrayal of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi as a permanent stain of shame upon the … Read more
James Talarico represents an existential threat to American sovereignty, individual liberty, and the rule of law. His radical agenda serves as the Trojan horse designed to dismantle Texas and destroy the constitutional foundation of the United States.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is a blood-soaked cartel that holds eighty-five million citizens hostage through terror, extortion, and executioner squads. American foreign policy stands on the brink of a catastrophic blunder if foreign boots step onto Iranian soil to fight a battle that belongs strictly to the Iranian nation. Foreign invasion breeds public … Read more
For nearly half a century, Israel and Iran have defined themselves partly through mutual hostility.
