  1. since 1984 they have been a state sponsor of terror, Hamas & Hezbollah Houties. A cornucopia basket of reasons . Too many to list. https://www.whitehouse.gov/articles/2026/03/the-iranian-regimes-decades-of-terrorism-against-american-citizens/#:~:text=July%202021:%20Iranian%2Dbacked%20militias,plotting%20to%20assassinate%20President%20Trump.
  2. There is nothing more importantant than global peace. Once the ship of terror sinks, oil prices will stabilize.Imagine a state sponsor of terror sinking innocent countries oil ships(like Thailand) in the "Strait of H" to prove their willingness to be a force.
  3. When facing an autocracy built on 47 years of intimidation and murder by proxy,murdering its own citizens while threatening death and destruction,peace through strength pushes aside appeasing. Negotiations failed with a country that has repeatedly proven unwilling to abandon its nuclear ambitions, support for terrorism, or revolutionary ideology, as seen in the collapse of the JCPOA, stalled Vienna talks, and recent 2025 thru 2026 diplomatic efforts that ended in military action rather than compromise.
  4. Disagree. Democracy(UK,USA), pleaded with the militaristic monarchy of Japan back than,it was a World war.. Democracy Israel/USA pleaded with the state sponsor of terror .now.
  5. Update: In addition to the scandal rockin the PM, turning a blind eye to the Epstein warnings , according to his x staffer who resigned because of the scandal. "The files make clear that Sir Keir ignored the warnings after his then-chief of staff, Morgan McSweeney, and former director of communications, Matthew Doyle, who was described in the documents as a “personal friend” of Lord Mandelson, appeared to give support to the Labour peer". https://www.the-independent.com/news/uk/politics/mandelson-papers-kier-starmer-epstein-warnings-b2936632.html
  6. The International Left's Dangerous Appeasement of Iran, A Wake Up Call for Global Security! In an era where state sponsors of terrorism like Iran continue to escalate their nuclear threats, it's alarming to see elements of the international left, including disillusioned citizens of Western countries, turning a blind eye or even justifying such actions as responses to USA/Israel aggression, especially after repeated attempts at negotiations . This pattern of appeasement not only undermines global stability but also emboldens regimes that fund proxy wars and terrorist groups across the ME and beyond. For a deeper look into Iran's provocative move toward weapons grade uranium, check out what a study found in 2021 in quotes . Is the left still making excuses, or is it time to wake up to the real risks?Back in 2021 it was a political statement ,flash to present day if true ,Reuters reports the reality . Why is Iran producing 60 per cent-enriched uranium?2021 Article : "This strongly suggests that Iran’s decision was intended to send a political message: ‘We have gone as far as we can go in response to provocations without producing weapons-grade uranium.’""If this is the case, it would seem to confirm that demonstrating the capability to produce 60 per cent-enriched uranium is more important to Iran than actually producing that material." https://www.sipri.org/commentary/essay/2021/why-iran-producing-60-cent-enriched-uranium * "The IAEA estimates that when Israel launched its first attacks in June, Iran had 440.9 kg of 60% uranium. If enriched further, that would provide the explosive needed for 10 nuclear weapons, according to an IAEA yardstick". * https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/much-irans-near-bomb-grade-uranium-likely-be-isfahan-iaeas-grossi-says-2026-03-09/ The story is about a SIPRI & Reuters News report
  7. As a USA citizen who has kids still residing there, I can honestly appreciate the efforts of Federal LE in stopping illegal entry into the country. "AZ HUMAN SMUGGLING STASH HOUSE BUST NETS 23 ILLEGAL ALIEN ARRESTS Two federal search warrants yielded the arrests after an ICE @HSIArizona probe with the U.S. Border Patrol. The Phoenix-based alien smuggling cell allegedly coordinated pick up, transport and housing for illegal aliens from Mexico and other Central American countries". https://x.com/ICEgov/status/2031536891762278817?s=20
  8. Some foreign nationals just don't get it, ya don't overstay on your diplomatic visa. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement VIOLENT, DRUG DEALING foreign national OVERSTAYED A 1995 DIPLOMATIC VISA Arrested in VA by ICE @HSI_DC ,a criminal illegal alien convictions include: —Sexual battery —Possession of Schedule I/II drugs with intent to sell —Domestic assault and battery —Trespassing . He has a 2011 final removal order with pending charges for disorderly conduct and violating a court order. https://x.com/ICEgov/status/2031853984017682662?s=20
  9. Mark Penn, Harvard/Harris poll publisher on Jesse Waters. "The Press is a drumbeat of negativity favoring the Iran Regime. Its puzzling at this point how any success is buried... The reality is likely the regime is being pummeled on all sides". It seems the leftist media is still turning a blind eye to a regime responsible for proxy killings, assassination plots on USA, and Death to America chants.
  10. Affirmative ,The international left and the state sponsor of terror propaganda are flailing like a pinched balloon.Stay tuned more to come from a regime that was appeased by the last two dem administrations.
  11. The authoritarian regime just spoke out loud,it accidentally reveals (or openly admits) the regime's underlying view of all dissent. Iran police chief warns protesters will be treated as 'enemies' "Iran's top police official warned that anti-government protesters would be treated as enemies if they act in line with Tehran's adversaries amid concerns the ongoing Middle East war could trigger renewed unrest. National police chief Ahmad-Reza Radan said protesters supporting Iran's enemies would no longer be regarded as demonstrators". https://www.turkiyetoday.com/region/iran-police-chief-warns-protesters-will-be-treated-as-enemies-3216021
  12. I care ,the USA cares. I don't expect a international member to understand right & wrong in my country's tradition of honoring the ultimate sacrifice, it is a deeply embedded part of American culture to remember the fallen who have made the ultimate sacrifice for freedom,something the once patriotic Dems have forgotten about apparently .
  13. Fox News shows how pro Iran rallies in the U.S. condemning the state sponsor of terror strikes against the autocratic regime running Iran are allegedly not spontaneous(non organic) but paid and coordinated funded activism through farleft networks funded in part by pro CCP billionaire Neville Roy Singham and the People's Forum, ANSWER Coalition, Code Pink with organizers allegedly earning full salaries and using the same brand type signs across antiTrump causes. This deceptive far left tactic( making funded protests seem organic) fits the broader far left pattern seen,refusing to label Iran a terror sponsor, downplaying its threats, and now amplifying pro regime voices domestically undermining U.S. security while accusing Trump of aggression. "PAID TO PROTEST?: Alleged funding behind pro-Iran rallies revealed"
  14. LE @ Gaston,cty,NC partnering with Federal LE to detain a foreign national who was allegedly acting out his fantasies with innocent American children. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement @ICEgov "40 Counts: First Degree Sexual Exploitation of a Minor, 9 Counts: Indecent Liberties with a Minor, 4 Counts: Solicitation of a Child by Computer, 3 Counts: Solicitation of a Child for Prostitution. 3 Counts: Extortion. Words cannot describe this evil who has no right to be in our country. ICE has issued a detainer for this criminal alien". https://x.com/ICEgov/status/2031370709767754136?s=20
  15. Shameful absence: While President Trump, VP Vance, First Lady Melania, and several GOP lawmakers stood solemnly to honor the six fallen soldiers at Dover AFB on March 7, not a single Dem rep or leader showed up for the dignified transfer. No show disrespects America's heroes. Just another instance of a party that has lost touch with America. First, 53 radical house dems a no vote for condemning Iran as the state sponsor of terror. They sit down for standing up for Americans at the State of the Union and now this. The story is about a APT video
  16. Its their MO ,The state sponsor of terror never even expressed sorrow for murdered Thai's either, as their terror proxy committed heinous on Oct. 7. https://nypost.com/2025/12/06/world-news/iran-tried-to-pressure-thailand-into-pulling-40k-farm-workers-out-of-israel-after-oct-7-report/#:~:text=7%20hostages:%20report,Marzouk%20of%20Hamas'%20political%20bureau.
  17. That makes 12/13 countries now!(Turkey). Killing their own & attacking other countries , they surely are p'ing off many. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_attacks_during_the_2026_Iran_war
  18. Lets see kowtowering to Democracy vs kowtowing to a Autocracy that murders thousands upon thousands of its citizens and others too. Its a tough choice, for people ! I'll take door Democracy. The state sponsor of terror wants to destroy the USA as well.
  19. As a direct result of these strikes against the state sponsor of terror, it's logical to conclude that the international and domestic left has long been committed to a mission: Calling everyone who rejects their and Obama's approach,portraying a terrorist culture as oppressed ,one born from imperialist conquest ,a Nazi.The ultimate goal of the left is a peaceful solution while supporting a state that uses violence,subversion with a 47 year history to prove it.
  20. His recklessness Facilitated in the murder of that beautiful intelligent student in Georgia , Laken Riley. Mayorkas's border policies under the Biden/Harris facilitated Laken Riley's murder by allowing her killer an illegal foreign national , to be paroled and released into the US after illegally crossing the border in 2022, rather than being detained or deported. These policies, combined with NYC sanctuary practices that led to the foreign national's release after a local arrest without honoring an ICE detainer, this enabled him to remain free and later commit the crime in Georgia in 2024.
  21. The Sandwich incident the international leftist are referring to was a radical leftist legal staffer who worked at the DOJ in DC. LAW & ORDER couldn't persuade the mostly Dem Grand jury to indict him , he lost his job as a result of his extremist actions.
  22. Sanctuary Jurisdiction's. Lindsey Graham attempt to save America. Theres a vote on this ,The question : "Should Sanctuary cities be punished for not cooperating with federal immigration enforcement". So far over 80% are in favor. https://foxbaltimore.com/question/vote-should-sanctuary-cities-be-punished-for-not-cooperating-with-federal-immigration-enforcement-question-of-the-day-homeland-security-senate-committee-lindsey-graham-criminal-penalties-federal-agents
  23. Another farleft attempt in the state of Washington succeeded where California failed by applying the mask ban evenly (no special treatment for state cops), but it's still an overreach trying to tie ICE hands on self protection in dealing with real threats. The feds haven't acted on it yet ,its recent. Expect federal law to overrule the Marxist /extremist attempt to facilitate doxxing Ice Enforcement to fail as it goes higher through the judicial system. LAw Enforcement has a right to safety while doing their job,especially from criminal foreign nationals & communist front group antiICE agitators. "Washington Legislature passes police face mask ban aimed at ICE". https://www.axios.com/local/seattle/2026/03/10/washington-police-face-mask-ban-ice-agents-sb5855-bob-ferguson-signature
  24. The willy nilly casualness of the international left,how it influences many radical extremist thought, it all derives from their ideology. "Left-wing terrorism is a form of terrorist political violence motivated by far-left ideologies, committed with the aim of overthrowing current capitalist systems and replacing them with communist, Marxist, anarchist or socialist societies. Left-wing terrorism can also occur within already socialist states as criminal action against the current ruling government". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left-wing_terrorism
  25. Senate testimony from the CIS exposes how sanctuary jurisdictions in 13 states and 100 cities have released more than 26k criminal aliens sought by ICE between late 2022 and early 2025, leading to needless criminality and massive costs while attracting even more illegal immigration. While Biden/Harris era open borders exploded criminal noncitizen arrests, these systemic progressive policies deliberately undermine LE, protect dangerous offenders, and challenge the Constitution,proving once again that strict enforcement under America First policies saves lives and money & the needless human cost of new victimizations at the hands of criminal aliens released instead of being turned over to ICE Enforcement. https://cis.org/Testimony/Sanctuary-Cities-Cost-Undermining-Law-and-Order
