A glaring vetting failure allowed anti-Israel radicals Sameerah Munshi and Carrie Prejean Boller to infiltrate President Trump’s White House Religious Liberty Commission, where Boller was rightfully removed for derailing an antisemitism hearing with anti-Zionist rhetoric and outdated tropes, prompting Munshi’s dramatic resignation in protest over that ouster and the U.S.-Israeli military action against Iran’s nuclear […]
IDF Hits Targets Across Iran and Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Research Facility In Tehran
While there has been much back-and-forth signaling in Washington about when the Iran war will/won’t/might/should come to an end, the IDF with less jaw-jaw and more war-war keeps up its relentless campaign to destroy Iran’s ballistic missiles, its missile launchers, an Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) research facility, the headquarters of Quds force, and air […]
Can the Islamic Republic of Iran Defeat the United States?
The mullahs are pinning their hopes on outlasting Trump. Can the Islamic Republic of Iran defeat the United States? Certainly it can.

Trump says Iran’s new leaders have asked to talk, and he has agreed
It is unlikely in the extreme that the new leaders of the Islamic Republic have given up or will give up the regime’s longterm goals, or its deeply ingrained hostility toward the U.S. and Israel.
