The midterms this cycle are as confusing as the new world order is in general. Historically, the midterms have never been good for the sitting President. In the last 50 years, the President has maintained Congress’s support only once, for the first four years in office. Carter is the only President in this 50-year window … Read more
Today, on the Morning Update, we need a world without the Islamic Republic of Iran. The regime is on its knees, and the fanatics can be displaced, but President Trump needs more time, and everyone needs to understand why this matters because there is so much to gain. Watch on the ‘Grok Rumble Channel if … 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
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
History moves through profound and unexpected reversals, exposing the sharp paradoxes of global cultural transformation. Today, a striking geopolitical irony unfolds across two distinct geographic spheres. Within Iran, a massive cultural awakening is burning away decades of enforced religious dogma as citizens actively reject the institutions of the Islamic Republic to reclaim their ancient Persian … 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
Fasten your seatbelts. I have some surprises for you. This article is about one nation being respectful to all other nations. What! In general, ordinary citizens don’t understand, and don’t try to understand, what goes on among nations. Possibly diplomats know the ropes, but most of us relate to foreign policy, and war only as a … Read more
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. That may be changing – not through official diplomacy between the two governments, which don’t exist, but through a growing, increasingly public relationship between Jerusalem and Iran’s exiled opposition, centered on Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi. The clearest signal came recently … Read more
The Fall of a Tyrant’s Empire: A Final Warning to the IRGC and the West For forty-seven agonizing years, the ancient and noble land of Iran has lived under the suffocating boot of a brutal theocratic occupation. Today, the supreme architect of that misery, Ali Khamenei, is gone. He is dead, yet the apparatus of … Read more
Vermonters and at least one national Republican figure are responding to an elected Vermont official’s ‘death to America’ statements made last week while attending the funeral of the leader of Iran, who died in the early days of the war with Iran. According to an X post by Orange County High Bailiff Christopher Helali, he’s … Read more
Ali Khamenei ruled for thirty-seven years and built an empire on corpses. A US-Israeli airstrike ended his life on February 28, 2026 – and the blood-soaked machine he commanded didn’t blink. Khamenei sat atop Iran’s government in the summer of 1988 while death committees executed thousands of political prisoners in a matter of weeks. Dissidents, students, and … Read more
President Trump was reportedly “shocked” to see many thousands of Iranians in the street mourning at the funeral of the country’s late leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, over the weekend. Khamenei was assassinated by the United States at the beginning of the February US surprise attack on Iran. The US attack on Iran was sold to … Read more
I’ve already explained the pervasive doomsday belief of the Iranians and how this makes it impossible to come to any sort of rational conclusion to the Iran conflict. They will lie, cheat, drag their feet while feigning compliance, and ultimately, break any agreement signed or otherwise agreed to, in order to advance their obsession with … Read more
“If you know the enemy … you need not fear the results of battle.” So said the ancient Chinese General Sun Tzu in The Art of War, which has long been studied by military professionals—but not so much by American presidents. Franklin D. Roosevelt went to the 1945 Yalta Conference planning to charm and cajole Soviet … Read more
President Donald Trump announced Sunday that the U.S. and Iran agreed to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to bring the months-long war to an end. The formal signing is planned to take place at a meeting in Geneva, Switzerland, on Friday. The MOU is not a final, negotiated “peace deal.” But it is the first important … Read more
I have no idea what the Iran Deal will include beyond the 14-point MOU included below. Stop being the global sponsor of terror, give up an armed nuclear future, and allow actual inspections. It’s not complicated. You have a right to your own sovereignty but not the right to hold the world hostage. If you … Read more
Joe Scarborough, of MSNOW Morning Joe, opened his Monday show with talk of the tentative Iran deal that ends the conflict in the Middle East and opens the Strait of Hormuz. This is a historic moment as it possibly ends the nearly 45-year-old stranglehold that Iran has had on the region and the world. But … Read more
Today, on your Morning Update, the Iran thing is a thing that, like most things, would shrink onto the back burner but for the obvious rise in gas prices. So, what do people think about Iran despite that issue? Gallup polled some folks, and the results were surprising. 00:00 Iran as a Threat to Stability01:45 … Read more
