The USA, the land of cognitive dissonance, where the Christian Bible and Hebrew Torah are misinterpreted and distorted, seeming more like the words of Satan than of God.

Where the Ten Commandments are not followed or enforced.

Where basic humanity, as preached by Jesus, has been dismissed as woke culture.

My guess is that the vast majority of Americans who have a Christian Bible or Torah have never opened the books, let alone read any of the teachings.

American Idiots (thank you Green Day) or American Ignorance, or both?

Calling Americans "idiots or ignorant as a group"crosses into disrespectful/offensive territory. its time you and I part our separate ways. Babye

The far left's desire to unequivocally condemn Islamist terror extends beyond Iran and its proxies to domestic incidents as well, as seen in NYC Mayor Mamdani's response to an attempted ISIS inspired bombing outside Gracie Mansion ,where he prioritized condemning white supremacy over the attackers Islamist motives.

Detailed in Miranda Devine's March 8, 2026 NYP op ed mirrors the same pattern we see in the 53 Dems (including the Squad) voting against reaffirming Iran as the world's largest state sponsor of terrorism despite its funding of real killings and assassination plots against Americans.

"Mayor Zohran Mamdani showed his true colors on the weekend when he responded to the attempted ISIS-inspired bombing of an anti-Muslim protest by first condemning “white supremacy” before getting around to saying “violence at a protest is never acceptable" .

"This is what happened on Saturday: two suspected ISIS-sympathizers threw hand-made bombs into a group of police and anti-Muslim protesters outside Gracie Mansion, one while yelling “Allahu Akbar”.

So goes the State Department propaganda machine. Reality is different. Iran was targeted for regime change. It has nothing to do with "nukes," or "women wearing hijabs," or this propaganda pushing the horse excrement that "Iran murdered thousands of its own people." What scares me are people who can't read the propaganda and who therefore propagate it. The US targets resource-rich countries who refuse to hand those resource to the US. The pattern is the same: "The regime kills its own people, the regime uses chemical weapons, the regime is a day away from a weapon of mass destruction." Iraq, Venezuela, Libya, Vietnam, Serbia - find a country who the US wants to control by overthrowing there government, and there you'll find the exact propaganda template. It works so well in convincing the weak-minded in their country that they don't even bother to change it - it's worked for decades. And people are too stupid to see the pattern.
Op - go volunteer to kill people for your country if you have that much blood-lust. You obviously can't cut through the propaganda so instead you spread it like its reality.

I somehow don't think that global humanitarian efforts, or even domestic humanitarian efforts are anywhere near the top of Trump's list of things to care about.

Personal enrichment is what occupies his waking moments....well that and Joe Biden.

your reply has tons of hyphens & dashes with no sources hmmm

That being said

Propaganda ?

"The authorities carried out massacres of protesters, primarily on 8 and 9 January, when the death toll rose into thousands. January 2026 marks the deadliest period of repression by the Iranian authorities in decades of Amnesty’s research".

"The Democratic Socialists of America, whose membership includes New York Mayor Mamdani, also seized the moment to demonstrate how far out of touch they are.

They used the Iran attack to call for “ending the US empire” and actually mourned the “extrajudicial killing of the supreme leader,” The Post reports.

One of the group’s social media events prominently features the Iranian flag, leading one commentator to correctly note that Iran’s leaders “murdered tens of thousands in a matter of days for protesting for democracy.”

The (DSA)which includes NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani and has long ties to politicians like AOC,used the U.S. Israel strikes on Iran to call for "ending the US empire" and mourn the "extrajudicial killing" of the supreme leader,even featuring the Iranian flag prominently in their social media events, as detailed in Goodwin's NYP op ed .
This far left mourning of a regime that murdered thousands of its own citizens for protesting democracy perfectly mirrors the Squad's no vote on reaffirming Iran as the world's largest state sponsor of terrorism, while Goodwin calls the strikes a righteous dismantling of the "confederacy of evil" (Iran and its proxies like Hezbollah and Hamas), proving determined action defeats threats that have killed Americans for decades and brings real security progress that far left progressive ideology only undermines in its efforts to appease Terror.

Iran a state sponsor of terror ?

Pot and kettle situation.

US and israel are worse sponsors of terror ,

but they hide behind 3 letter agencies , black/off the book ops ,

weaponized NGO's,...

This reaffirms the international left and the Trump haters have/has lost the plot, Let this sink in, in case the international left and supporters of regimes that support terror have any doubt,

On March 5, the House voted 372 to 53 to reaffirm that Iran remains the largest state sponsor of terrorism,yet all 53 no votes came from far left Dem's, including the entire Squad (AOC, Omar, Tlaib, Pressley) and others like Jayapal and Watters.

https://www.govtrack.us/congress/votes/119-2026/h84#:~:text=House%20Vote%20%2384%20in%202026,hexagon%20represents%20one%20congressional%20district.

The broader pattern of progressive ideology undermining American and Western values is clear, from refusing to unequivocally condemn foreign terror sponsors like Iran (as seen in the Squad's no vote on reaffirming its status as the world's largest state sponsor of terrorism) to actively subverting the U.S. justice system through organized efforts to obstruct Trump DOJ prosecutions.

This tactic was exposed in a Washington Free Beacon report revealing how the left wing group Freedom Trainers is coaching the left to conceal their biases during jury selection in federal cases, then vote not guilty regardless of evidence,promoting jury nullification as a tool to undermine the rule of law while accusing the administration of authoritarianism .

"We have a legal remedy to correct when the court system, when the Department of Justice, has gone astray and awry," Hunter said during the webinar. "That is your right as a juror to stand up for what you believe to be right, to use your analysis, your conscience, your morals."

Now that the US has attacked Iran but called it defensive, it is obvious who is is a terrorist.

So true and the international & domestic left are allowing the lie to ferment.

There have been no legal determinations despite the far left attempts at calling it a murder.

One usa citizen used her car as a weapon another brought a weapon to a protest who previously was involved in a violent attack on federal LE car a week prior.

Building on the farleft's refusal to condemn state sponsors of terrorism like Iran and their sympathy toward radical elements. A International Reporters Roundtable discussion exposes the Red Green Alliance a well funded group of far left progressives and Islamist networks that has fueled anti Israel protests, inverted victim narratives post Oct 7, and eroded humanitarian principles by allying with groups refusing to denounce Hamas or affirm Israel's right to exist.

This alliance echoes the pattern of progressive tactics we've been discussing, from jury nullification resistance to broader threats against global stability.

"The Red-Green Alliance That Is Destroying America's Freedom, talks with Cindy Drukier on International Reporters Roundtable about the rise in and intertwining of Leftist and Anti-Semitic groups which have stood in solidarity against Israel and in support of terrorist group Hamas' October 7th attacks on Israeli citizens".

You cannot have Socialism without death and destruction

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"

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.
