The Continued Holocaust of the Iranian People

​Recently, Marizyah Amirizadeh criticized Pope Leo for awarding the Papal Order of Pius IX to the Iranian Ambassador to the Holy See, Mohammed Hussein Mokhtari. He was the man who sentenced her to death in Iran for converting to Christianity in 2009.

She and Maryam Rostampour were sentenced to be hanged for their “sins against God.” 

They were detained in the notorious Evin Prison for 259 days, where they were tortured and interrogated. Only worldwide public protests prevented Mokhtari from carrying out this heinous, inhumane crime.

Amirizadeh was released on November 18, 2009, following international pressure on the Iranian regime from entities such as the Holy See, the US State Department, and the United Nations.

After her release, Amirizadeh moved to Turkey, where she applied for asylum in the United States. In 2011, her asylum application was approved, and she moved to America. She became a US citizen in 2016 and gained a Master of Science in International Affairs from the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta in 2019.

In 2022, Amirizadeh ran for election in the Georgia House of Representatives as a Republican, further extending her commitment to public service and advocacy for causes she believes in, including the restoration of relations between Iran and Israel, saying that both the Iranian and Israeli peoples share common concerns regarding the ruling Iranian regime.

 

While the Vatican and others claim this honor is bestowed on anyone who serves as a diplomat to the Vatican, Iranian media and government officials are claiming the Pope himself has presented Mokhtari with this “highest diplomatic honor”. 

Iranian outlets have framed the decoration as a special reward for promoting peace and a gesture of papal solidarity regarding regional conflicts.  And Pope Leo  has remained silent on this whole affair, which seems to condone acceptance to the propaganda.

This is another outrage by the Catholic Church by remaining silent while innocent Iranian citizens are murdered without consequence by their own government. How much longer will this 21st Century Holocaust be tolerated?

Clawing Back a Union President’s Unauthorized Expenditures

​One would hope that a union leader would use the funds raised by the dues collected would be used to benefit union members. Not to write a book to benefit herself and by heaping praise in a self-aggrandizing manner.

But that is what AFT Union President, Randi Weingarten has done.

Weingarten used the abundance of union-fueled resources for the liberal agenda-pushing “Why Fascists Fear Teachers: Public Education and the Future of Democracy,” then pocketed a portion of the proceeds, the Freedom Foundation claimed in a new report.

Her team included an attorney who supposedly worked on the book pro bono but whose firm raked in $977,000 for various work for AFT, as well as a supposed “ghost writer” who earned over $400,000 overall from the union, the report said.

The union also forked over more than $11,000 to two people who “fact-checked” and apparently took photos of the labor big for the tome, which was heralded by the publisher as a “manifesto for our time.”

“Most AFT members pay dues in exchange for workplace representation, not to fund the union president’s literary pursuits,” said Maxford Nelsen, the Freedom Foundation’s director of research and government affairs.

“However, AFT appears to have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in members’ dues on top-tier consultants, lawyers, and agents to get WFFT published,” Nelson went on. “Indeed, the wide range of expenses borne by AFT suggests that Weingarten may not have contributed anything at all financially to the enterprise.”

Ultimately, the union paid $1.4MM to third parties and the publisher out of union dues, even though not all union members may necessarily agree with the political positions of Ms Weingarten. That is a travesty of the rights of those members.

And the report also disclosed two “royalty payments” totaling $125,000 to a Weingarten-controlled entity called “Teachers Want What Kids Need, LLC,” which the analysis points out is not a tax-exempt charity but “an opaque corporate entity incorporated in Delaware.” Probably under Weingarten’s total control. This is in addition to her almost $450,000 annual salary, plus benefits and pension contributions made on her behalf. 

Perhaps union members should look into this egregious action by Weingarten, and all monies paid on her behalf to her and others without specific consent. Not the implied consent she is basing her justification to actually authorize this.

It certainly would not be permitted in the private sector.

Memorial Day, 2026

​This weekend, beginning on May 23, we will once again start Unofficial Summer festivities. Yes, My Friends, we will celebrate Memorial Day, 2026.

But this not just any summer; instead, we will begin the celebration of our 250th year of our Glorious Independence.

When the War for Independence started, the colonists had little hope that they would be successful. But after six years, their determination and grit won out as the British decided that their losses were too great to overcome the colonists’ perseverance and resilience.

We mark this anniversary not from when the war started in April, 1775, but from the date the Declaration of Independence was published and proclaimed. July 4, 1776.

And Memorial Day, which started  as Decoration Day to honor those who died from both sides in the Civil War when the Northern and Southern states fought over initially the principle of states’ rights, and later, over the issue of slavery, now we remember ALL Americans who gave their lives for the defense of our country. And for the Freedom and Liberty we all cherish.

This week we will be shopping for our barbecues and picnics, we will be enjoying, of course. But we should also plant a flag in honor of someone who gave his or her life so we can freely enjoy this weekend. 

We should spend a moment of silence  as we celebrate the freedoms our heroes gave for that privilege.

And sing a couple of patriot songs, too. It is a matter of respect.

God Bless America, Land That I Love.

The Subway Series Is Here - Again

​Tonight begins the first of two weekends for the Battle For New York, otherwise known as the Subway Series. In recent years, it has been a more evenly matched series of games, with plenty of excitement for the fans of both teams.

Yes, My Friends. We are talking about the New York Mets and the New York Yankees.

There are other baseball rivalries which come to mind: the Cubs and White Sox, the Pirates and Phillies, the Dodgers and Giants, the Rangers and Astros, the Reds and Guardians, to name just a few. But no rivalry matches the Yankees and Mets.

They play in the Greatest City in the World, after all. You know, the City That Never Sleeps; the Home of the Macys Thanksgiving Parade; the Big Apple; the Empire State of Mind; the Concrete Jungle, for the Big Hustle; and of course, New York, New York.

There are no other rivalries which generate this much interest. It is Davey v Goliath, Underdog v Bulldog, Kid Brother v Big Brother. Upstarts v Bombers - the Mets v the Yankees.

The Mets have won only two World Series in their history, while the Yankees have won FOURTEEN times as many. And this year, the Yankees are once again competing for a pennant, while the Mets can barely keep their heads out of the basement.

But for this weekend, they stand on even ground before they begin play tonight. Why? Because one pitch, one hit can make all the difference in a game. And there are THREE games which will be played from now until Sunday afternoon.

And when the dust settles, the fans of one team will hold the bragging rights all summer until the next meeting is held  in September. Meanwhile, who knows what effect this series will have on either team going forward until they face off again?

Until then, long-suffering fans of the Orange and Blue can cheer, LETS GO METS!

Believing in Truth, Justice and Human Rights For All

Xaviaer DuRousseau, 29, revealed that he did a complete 180 from his liberal upbringing during the 2020 George Floyd riots as he realized that the movement was a money grab and that he was indoctrinated.​

“Once I started looking at the conservative side of the argument, I started realizing, oh, wait, socialism has literally never worked. BLM has always been a scam, and the Democratic Party has always been the party of racism and violence,” DuRousseau said on former NCAA swimmer Riley Gaines’ podcast Wednesday.

“I have just been drinking the Kool-Aid because this was the indoctrination that was put upon me from the age of a little child,” the PragerU influencer added.

“With growth and maturity, I recognize that there’s a huge difference between individualized or circumstantial racism that’s happening person to person versus a systemic issue that needs to be addressed at a larger scale.” he told Breitbart News last year.

“In retrospect, I came to understand that yes, there are racist people, but ultimately the average American and the majority of people in this country are so adamantly against racism that it’s foolish to even consider that systemic racism is still a trope in this country because we’re so far removed from that.”

Most Americans would agree with Mr DuRousseau. We are not racist by nature; we recognize we may have differences in cultural backgrounds, musical tastes, political beliefs and and even social concerns. But we all breathe the same air and we all bleed the same color.

Smart Americans will respect each other for who we are, without prejudice, and will accept each other without regard to skin color and instead, for the content of their character. Ignorant people of all races are the bigots and racists in this country.

And those who stir the racist pot of hatred are the demons who can only survive to satisfy that sickening and putrid stench which consumes their souls.

Let’s all continue the fight to achieve truth, justice and human rights for all Americans.

Let’s Not Repeat the Stupidity of Covid

​While many tragically died the last time a “pandemic” was declared, we have learned much from the lies which were perpetrated in order to spread fear and confusion, so that a few could control the populace at large.

We were told that maintaining a distance of six feet from each other, with masks on our faces, would control and stop the spread of an unknown contagion. But we have since learned that a piece of paper would NOT be a protected device.

We were told that an experimental, untested “shot” would give us immunity from the disease. Then, we were told we needed a booster to ensure its efficacy. And then another. But many still came down with the disease anyway. Several times. So false again.

We had to walk through a restaurant wearing a mask if we wanted to dine, but it was safe to take it off once we sat down at the table. Like the cheeseburger and fries had some magic power of immunity. Or, we had to sit outside in the cold and rain under a tent. Like that wouldn’t make us sick.

We had to follow the lines on the floor in a store to shop. Your local store was required to close, but “big box” stores were safe to browse. 

You were arrested if you went to worship, and were shunned on social media for protesting for your rights to pray or speak against all the dictates which contradicted the official line of government BS. And  lost your friends and neighbors because you stood your ground.

You were told that long-standing drugs like Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroqine were not permitted to be prescribed, even though they were proven to be effective for so many previously unknown diseases.

And you were fired from your job if you did not fall in line with the demands of the ruling class to get the “shot”. Which caused many to lose their homes, and in some cases, lose their families. 

And one political party tried to make us vote by mail, in order to control the outcome of elections. And allowed our representative to “proxy” vote in order to allow a few “loyalists” control the passage of desired legislation.

Essentially, we all had a taste of Communism, or Fascism. Or a demanding form of totalitarianism. And decided we did not like it. AT ALL.

Now, conveniently, there is another “outbreak” of potential election interference, under the guise of hantavirus, and other called norovirus, caused by rats in a controlled environment of a cruise ship. Just like the last one called Covid, in a controlled environment of a lab in Wuhan, China.

Let us hope we will not fall for the lies again from our government. We have have learned to be suspicious when our rights are being taken away “for our own good”. 

Or next time, we may not come back to what we have now, and may lose our freedoms and liberties forever.

End the Vulgarity in Iran

When will it stop? The regime is so paranoid that it is executing its future teachers and scientists in a warped belief that they are “committing sins against God.”

Erfan Shakourzadeh, 29, was hanged at dawn after being convicted of stealing classified satellite information from the scientific organization where he worked, Iranian state media reported. He was a promising graduate student at the University of Science and Technology in Tehran studying aerospace engineering.

The regime had accused Erfan of funneling details on satellite activities to the CIA and the Mossad. One of the many reasons to be a claim of “a sin against God”, a true blasphemy.

Shakourzadeh was arrested in February last year and forced into making a confession, according to the Iran Human Rights Society. He later retracted that forced confession just prior to his execution, according to the human rights group.

Shakourzadeh, who is the fifth person executed since the war broke out in February, spent nine months in solitary confinement where he suffered “severe physical and psychological torture,” the group added.

The IRGC, the Mullahs and those who support their cruel, barbaric, uncivilized form of “justice” have no regard for human life. Even those in the US, the EU and other parts of the world who ignore this demonic behavior are as guilty as those who actually commit these genocidal crimes.

The NAZIS in the 1930s and 1940s gave a basic lesson in holocaustic behavior, but the Islamic Regime brought it to a whole other, unspeakable level. It is truly reprehensible, despicable and repugnant.

Any agreement which allows the theocracy to continue unabated only condones this deplorable, satanic behavior by the regime. It is time to completely eliminate the IRGC and remove forever the theocracy from the face of the earth.0

And end the cruelty in Iran as it returns to a civilized society governed by freedom-loving people.
