The entire nuclear deal is based on this fatwa that declares nuclear weapons un-Islamic (there is more to that story as well: see The Complete Infidel’s Guide to Iran). So will Biden’s handlers change their appeasement course if it is scrapped? Of course not. “Fmr. Iranian Diplomat Amir Mousavi: A Fatwa Is Not Permanent; Khamenei […]
Blinken warns Iran could be weeks away from having enough nuclear material to develop nuclear bomb
Iran has violated the nuclear deal for a considerable period, has admitted to doing so, and has flaunted this to the global community amid boasts about its military might, including the unveiling of a new “missile city.” It could not be clearer that Iran is uncontrollable and untrustworthy regardless of any negotiations. It is a […]
The Media’s Oh-So-Devout Catholic Joe Biden Has Run Into a Little Trouble With the Bishops…
My latest in PJ Media: The establishment media has been pulling out all the stops, as Stephen Kruiser noted Monday, to convince us that Joe Biden is the most serene Catholic monarch since King St. Louis IX.

If Biden reopens PLO’s DC office, ‘Palestinians’ would be liable for $655,500,000 for jihad terror victims
Snag in the lovefest. But fear not: Biden’s handlers will find a way to resume funding the jihad against Israel. The Taylor Force Act may not be long for this world. “Biden pledge to reopen PLO mission in Washington faces legal hurdles,” by Rami Ayyub and Matt Spetalnick, Reuters, January 29, 2021: JERUSALEM/WASHINGTON (Reuters) – […]
Will Biden increase Palestinian rigidity, pushing them even further into the abyss?
The Palestinian Authority has clearly begun to test President Biden’s toughness, to see if he will stand up about Jerusalem as the indivisible capital of Israel, as did his predecessor, President Donald Trump. Indeed, following Secretary of State Blinken’s recent announcement that the US embassy will remain in Jerusalem, the Palestinians’ expectations will likely […]
IDF Chief: We Cannot Accept a Return to Iran Deal
In 2015, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was moving heaven and earth to try to stop the nuclear deal, even arranging to address Congress without President Obama’s knowledge or approval. When the deal went through, not all Israeli military men were as unhappy as Netanyahu. In fact, the then-IDF chief, Gadi Eisenkot, famously said […]
Biden administration reverses Trump’s weapons sales to Saudi Arabia, UAE
Democratic Senator Chris Murphy tweeted: But he ignored Iran’s role in the Yemen civil war which started in 2014, “when Houthi insurgents—Shiite rebels with links to Iran and a history of rising up against the Sunni government—took control of Yemen’s capital and largest city.” Weeks ago, Yemen pleaded for the UN, the international community and […]
Iran threatens to block short-notice inspections of its nuclear facilities by UN atomic agency

Pentagon chief may increase number of US troops in Afghanistan and Iraq
And then there’s Syria. The new Pentagon chief says he might revise the numbers upward or downward, but upward seems to be a much more likely choice, given the requirements of the military-industrial complex. “Report: New Pentagon Chief Might Revise Number of Troops in Afghanistan, Iraq,” Fars News Agency, January 27, 2021 (thanks to Henry): […]
Biden’s policy towards Iran could leave Israel no choice but to use military force
Some Middle East experts believe that the recent US decision to freeze arms sales to Saudi Arabia and the UAE can be seen as a gift to Iran, while the Israeli statement about offensive military plans to curb Iran’s nuclear program may have been a direct message to the Biden administration, rather than to Iran.
