When War Is Justified and Diplomacy Has Failed

​

No one wants war. At least, people will use diplomacy as a means to avoid war. And we have witnessed in history, within the last one hundred years, that appeasement, disguised as diplomacy, has been used several times to avoid war.

But in the end, when one country tries to use diplomacy (or appeasement) to negotiate with an unwilling adversary, the end result always ends up with a war.

History is replete with examples of this. In just the last one hundred twenty-six years, diplomacy, or appeasement, has resulted in World War I, World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Gulf War, the War on Terror, and finally, the Iran War. 

These are just the wars the United States has involved itself. There were other wars, certainly, including the Six Day War, the Sino-Russian War, the Yom Kippur War, the Boer War, the Indo-Pakistani War, countless border skirmishes, and so many others. 

And every one began with diplomacy and negotiations. Which ultimately failed because one side had no intention of negotiating honestly.

Thus, we are witnessing this very same scenario played out now. The United States and Israel have tried all means of diplomacy with the Islamic Republic of Iran to stop the terror it foments throughout the Middle East with its proxies; has actually bribed Iran to stop developing its nuclear capabilities; has actually bombed the nuclear proliferation sites to convince them to cease and desist; and finally, ran unending bombing raids to destroy its entire military structure for six weeks, until a ceasefire was unilaterally declared. By the United States.

Yet, the Islamic Republic (or what is left of it) refuses to back down, even as it is being economically destroyed, and even as its supporters and allies have tried to reason with them that it is a lost cause. The current leadership is deaf to it all.

Instead, they are blinded by the mantra which was part of the DNA which created the Islamic Republic  forty-seven years ago. They believe that “Death to America” and “Death to Israel” are noble causes with which to fight.

The Iranian people, for forty-seven years, have dealt with this regime and are eager to return to an Iran which existed under the Pahlavi dynasty, when they actually enjoyed a westernized society and religious freedoms to worship. Iran was once a secular country, similar to Turkey or Morocco. 

They are exhausted from the brutality they have lived under, and actually hoped that with the recent war with the US and Israel leading the way, the days of oppression by the occupying force would be gone for good. But, the regime has been determined to stay in power at all costs. And a sense of despair has come into focus again.

It is time for the US and Israel to make a final play, by providing weapons to the citizenry to take the battle to overthrow the regime. The desire is there, but the weapons, which are desperately needed, have not yet been made available. It is now overdue to move to that next level.

Once the overthrow of the regime has been accomplished by the Iranians, and a free government determined by the Iranian citizens, the expectation and hope is for Iran to be a civil and decent country going forward. But until then, it behooves the US to help the Iranians in their quest to achieve that goal. It has been a promise they have relied on.

And it is our responsibility to keep that promise until we hear the words: Long Live a Free Iran!

It is not diplomacy at play here; it is finally ending a war which has been forty-seven years in the making.

It Is Time to End Election Fraud, Starting In California

​

Will we bear witness to another election fraud, this time in California? This is a state which allows for a “jungle primary”, where party identities don’t matter, and the highest two winners of the primary will face off in the general election.

This allows for two people from the same party (generally Democrats) to ultimately give voters actually no choice in November. Kinda like a Soviet-style election between the choice between two Communists.

In addition, the California election process can take up to ninety days to count the votes. Mail-in ballots are valid provided they are post-marked by Election or Primary Day, are received by seven days AFTER the election, can be harvested for up to thirty days BEFORE Election Day and finally, allow the State Secretary of State THIRTY-EIGHT DAYS AFTER Election Day to certify the votes.

This allows fraud to permeate the system.

Why is this an important issue? Well, a flood of late-counted ballots has turned the race on its head, shrinking Spencer Pratt’s lead day after day and suddenly putting a Bass-Raman runoff on the table after Pratt appeared destined for November just days ago.

The latest ballot update on Saturday delivered another major boost for Socialist Nithya Raman in the race to unseat incumbent failure, Mayor Karen Bass. 

New election results show Pratt’s lead over Raman shrinking to just 7,494 votes, down from more than 20,000 votes one day earlier.

Raman picked up 23,514 votes in the latest ballot count, more than double Pratt’s gain of 10,336 votes.

And ironically, Republican Steve Hilton, who led on Primary night with 28% to Democrat Xavier Becerra 25%, is now in danger of being eliminated by billionaire Tom Steyer, who had 20% of the vote when the polls closed. Becerra has been declared the top vote-getter and according to the Associated Press, will advance to the November election. Hilton is now in second place with Steyer hot on his heels.

Nico Ruderman, a former state Senate candidate and Venice Neighborhood Council member, said many voters are struggling to reconcile the latest results with what they saw on election night.

“It’s like being teased with hope and then having it ripped away,” said Ruderman 

Ruderman said the prolonged count is creating anxiety regardless of who ultimately advances.

“People need to believe in their elections,” he said. “The perception of integrity is just as important as the integrity itself.”

Public trust in the whole election process is being eroded in California, and in other Democrat-controlled states and cities. It came to light during the 2020 election, and subsequently, when certain activities in  Democrat areas were ultimately proven to be illegal.

And of course, there is the matter of allowing non-citizens and dead people voting in the same Democrat cities and states. This is why 84% of all Americans WANT voter ID AND restrictive mail-in voting. Both Texas and Florida have models which have proven effective. In fact, in Florida, there is now, effective July 1. an indicator of citizenship status highlighted on new, renewed and replacement driver licenses.

It is beyond time to eliminate the preponderance of fraud in ALL ELECTIONS, Federal AND State.

The New Democrat Party

​One can only look at the Democrat campaign for Senator from Maine and wonder how the leadership of the Democrat Party sponsor a Nazi to represent them. Oh, wait! The Party also sponsors Socialists and Communists.

But not people who actually love America.

Currently, Graham Platner, an avowed Nazi and misogynist, has received $10,000 in the form of two $5,000 donations from Rhode Island Democratic Senator Sheldon Whitehouse's leadership PAC, according to Federal Election Commission Records.

Whitehouse has been among Platner’s most constant supporters among lawmakers in the US Senate, calling the controversial candidate "wonderfully appealing" in an interview with Politico. In addition, other Democrats have spoken highly of Platner in support of his campaign, including Bernie Sanders (D-VT) and Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY). Both are Jewish who seem to support this Nazi.

These are the same people who supported Zohran Mamdani, a Socialist - Communist for Mayor, Alexandria Ocascio-Cortes, a true, dedicated Socialist for Congress, as well as, Rashida Tlaib, Jamaal Bowman, Cori Bush and Shri Thanedar, all of whom serve or served in the House of Representatives.

And all profess decidedly anti-American, anti-Semitic, and pro-Communist views.

If you recall, Whitehouse was one of the more vocal opponents to Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court nomination, accusing him of many falsehoods, including a “rape” of a woman which was proven never to have happened. 

Yet, he stands by Platner who has admitted to sexting, rape fantasies and other abhorrent attitudes and behavior.

“He’s off to a really strong start and has a wonderfully appealing local background and story," Whitehouse said.

Whitehouse has remained supportive of Platner even as troubling details have emerged of Platner’s past web history, views and personal conduct. 

All this to get a majority of Democrats to control the Senate. Pretty sick, yes?

Although Whitehouse’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment, the donations show the high degree of confidence lawmakers like Whitehouse and others have in Platner's ability to unseat the moderate Republican incumbent, Susan Collins (R-ME), currently holding office in a blue-leaning state.

And while Collins is considered a RINO by most reasonable people, she understands her state and votes accordingly, while still believing in traditional, American ideals. She is NOT a Nazi or Socialist by any gauge.

So there you have it. A New Democrat Party which has no relation at all to the one which JFK, Truman or even FDR would recognize, but Hitler and Castro would.

A Commentary vs a News Piece Defined

​There is a fine line between a news story and an op-ed piece. As we were taught in Journalism 101, the definitions of journalism center on its role as the systematic investigation, verification, and dissemination of information regarding contemporary affairs. Academics view it as an active practice, a democratic pillar, and an evolving institution that supplies society with fact-based, relevant news

An editorial, analysis or Op-Ed piece is a media piece, typically a newspaper or magazine article, that expresses the opinion of the publication's editors, publisher, or owner rather than an objective news report. It reflects an institution's or writer’s stance on current events or societal issues.

The problem with today’s Main Stream Media, or is is LAME Stream Media, is that most “journalists” have blurred the difference in those definitions. They have made the distinction opaque.

For those of us who write blogs, or commentaries, we understand the difference. We are sharing an OPINION on a current news story, NOT the news itself. For me, I share the highlights of the article and share my own opinion on it.

Most media outlets, Left and Right, no longer make that distinction. In years past, news outlets would separate a news story from an opinion piece. A newspaper would have a section dedicated to opinions, while reporters would report only the news.

TV anchors would segregate the news story, and then, indicate that the next piece was an opinion or commentary, breaking it out from the the nightly news. 

And over time, cable news which began with this premise, as well, by reporting the news during the day and sharing opinions at night, began to blur the differences. You can’t really tell the difference any longer. 

Over the years, this breach of journalistic integrity has also pervaded even 60 Minutes, 20/20 and other news magazine shows.

My commentaries are not reporting news but rather, my opinion. Your opinions are welcomed and are yours. I will not denigrate, comment, nor criticize them. 

Thank you for your years of readership and loyalty.

When a Journalist Finds Out It Is NOT About HIM

​When 60 Minutes debuted back on September 24, 1968, Mike Wallace and Harry Reasoner, who were highly respected seasoned journalists with impeccable credentials, were the first hosts. Don Hewitt was the creator and its first executive producer. 

No one knew where their political leanings lay nor who they voted for. It was truly a modicum of journalist integrity.

In recent years, no one could make the same claim with a straight face and not see how biased the news magazine had become.

This became evident over the last few weeks, as Bari Weiss, Editor-In-Chief of CBS News since October, 2025, has moved CBS News to a more unbiased, centrist news organization, by not renewing contracts of those “journalists” who have allowed their own political views to filter into their reporting.

It finally erupted last week when Ms Weiss fired 60 Minutes correspondents Sharyn Alfonso and Cecilia Vega, along with executive producer Tanya Simon and other producers last week.

Subsequently, during a staff meeting with new executive producer Nick Bilton, Scott Pelley, on Monday during a meet-and-greet with staffers, called out the boss’s lack of TV experience, challenging his vision and telling him he would “never be welcomed here.”

“What did he accomplish?” one CBS source said of Pelley’s explosive attack. “He embarrassed the company and the leadership.”

Another witness agreed that Pelley’s tactics were “problematic,” noting that the correspondent should have met with Weiss or Bilton to at least hear them out.

“That grandstanding thing is insane. It’s third-grade, playground bullying stuff,” the source said. “This is not the way you conduct yourself.”

And yesterday, newly appointed 60 Minutes executive producer Nick Bilton blasted Pelley in informing him he was fired “for cause, effective immediately.”

“[Y]ou hijacked my first meeting with staff to disparage me, my qualifications, and my intentions with remarkable incivility and contempt,” Bilton wrote, referring to Monday’s heated face-off between the journo and his boss.

Had Pelley privately disagreed with Weiss and Bilton with the moves being made, rather than being so vocal in his apparent abusive tirade in the presence of others, the outcome may have been different. But he left no latitude by management for any other response.

This morning, CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss addressed the firing of Scott Pelley during a staff meeting Wednesday morning, telling employees that the network had no choice but to part ways with the veteran correspondent following his public confrontation with management.

“The foundation [of trust and mutual respect] was broken,” Weiss said during the network’s daily 9AM editorial call.

“Despite our attempts to engage with Scott Pelley and to find a way back, unfortunately we weren’t able to do so, and so we had to part ways,” Weiss told staff.

CBS News president Tom Cibrowski echoed Weiss’s remarks, calling Pelley “an integral part of ‘60 Minutes,’ the ‘CBS Evening News’ and this entire news organization for decades.”

Pelley’s whiny response? “I have been in combat in Afghanistan. I have been in combat in Iraq. I have been in the war zone in Ukraine multiple times, risking my life and the happiness of my family because of my devotion to the broadcast.”

Hey Scott… you received a check for that work. Your self-pity-party alligator tears don’t work with people who make less than you, and who do much harder work, including your colleagues.

Pelley’s remarks also sparked widespread mockery on social media, where critics derided what they viewed as his self-importance and rejected comparisons between journalists and military personnel.

Perhaps, he will learn there are consequences when one takes on his boss in a public setting. It never would be tolerated in another private industry.

Journalists, generally, should learn that they are there to REPORT the story, rather than to be PART OF the story. A lesson Scott Pelley learned the hard way, when he thought he was more important than the company he worked for.

It Is Time to End the Islamic Regime

​Today is June 1 and three full months have elapsed since the start of Operation Epic Fury. Since April 8, there has been a ceasefire in place in order to come to terms with ending the war, by negotiating a means for the Islamic Republic to save face and return to a semblance of normalcy in the world.

But did Iran or its IRGC faction do any of that?

No… Instead it used this time to deceive, delay and commit Taqiyya to advance its stated goals: to destroy Israel, the US, and any nation which  aligns with them.

It was revealed that Iran has dug out a majority of the entrances to its underground middle bases that were buried by joint US-Israeli strikes during the height of the war, satellite images show. 

A recent probe of eighteen missile facilities hit during the war shows that at least 50 out of 69 tunnel entrances have been reopened since the cease-fire went into effect in April.

The fast work indicates that Iran would be poised to fire a lot more long-range missiles across the Middle East if the war restarts amid tense peace negotiations. 

Satellite images captured the rigorous work Tehran has accomplished in just seven weeks across various missile bases, with digging equipment and large trucks seen excavating the tunnel entrances.

Iran has already started rebuilding its military capabilities, including restarting its drone production and replacing destroyed missile launchers, according to US intelligence.

This is what the current Iran government has focused its energies doing, along with the massacre and executions of those who dared to protest its illegitimate, occupying  regime. Not peace.

It is apparent that the occupying forces of Iran and its barbaric henchmen are not interested in any peace agreement. And the countries of Pakistan and Turkey were either duped into believing this was Iran!s intentions or they were complicit in aiding and abetting Iran’s deceit.

The longer the US and Israel take to eliminate the Islamic Regime, the IRGC, and all of the weaponry available to them, the harder it will be to bring a legitimate, peace-loving government back to the forefront in Iran. It is time to end their existence. NOW!

Then, we may bear witness to a long-lasting Middle East peace, with many more countries signing on to the Abraham Accords.

What One Woman’s Goal Could Achieve For All

​Tomorrow is the sixty-second Israel Day Parade, which began in 1964 to celebrate the bind between American Jewishness and the State of Israel.

The parade was launched to achieve a few specific goals:

• Community Solidarity: Modeled after other ethnic pride parades in Manhattan, it was designed as a highly visible, public display of support and celebration for Israel.
• Global Unity: It provides a platform to celebrate the spirit of the Israeli people and honor Jewish heritage in New York.
• Historical Commemoration: It serves as an annual tribute to the creation of the State of Israel, which was established in 1948.

It is now enjoyed by many Americans, Christians and Jews alike, to foster better relations by people of all faiths. And this year, a brave Muslim activist, who has devoted her life to promoting religious freedom and denouncing violent extremism is vowing to lead the first Muslim group ever to march in the Israel on Fifth Parade in spite of threats to “wear a bulletproof vest.,”  Anila Ali, a Pakistan native turned fearless DC-based civil rights activist.

The 58-year-old powerhouse founder of the American Muslim & Multifaith Women’s Empowerment Council said she plans to march with a few dozen Muslim supporters, including an imam and children, despite a barrage of intimidation tactics from “nefarious forces” for daring to show solidarity with Israel. 

For her and her supporters, this is a display what religious harmony can bring when hate, by a extreme few, is silenced by those who would rather live in peace and with respect for others of different beliefs.

Showing up now in the wake of unprecedented anti-Semitism in the Big Apple sends a strong message, said Ali, who added she’s been targeted by the Islamic regime for her interfaith work, which has included taking groups of Muslims, including the first Pakistani delegation, to Israel. 

“I want to show I’m a proud Muslim. I try not to think about the threat, but about what we’re doing, standing with Israel’s right to exist,” Ali said in the wake of accusations of being an “Islamonazi” and a “grifter” cashing in on Jewish money.

Ali, who has lived in the US for 30 years and found support in the Jewish community after 9/11, blasted Mayor Zohran Mamdani for being a no-show at the Sunday parade, the first ever mayor to skip the festivities since its 1962 inception. 

She called out the “dangerous” Democratic socialist for “empowering radicals” who target the Jewish community.

Perhaps other Muslims will find the courage to support Jewish issues, as Anila Ali and her group have. The City, the Country and the World  would be better off than what a small, radicalized minority constantly tries to wield.

And this may be the first step in achieving the peace and respect we all yearn to enjoy.

The Mets Won’t Repeat History This Year

​On May 30, 2024, the Mets’ record was 23 and 33. And they went on to play in the National League Championship Series against the Dodgers. And lost in the seventh game.

This year, with a different cast of characters (decidedly so), as of this morning, exactly two years later, they are 24 and 33. Could this portend into another rally to gain entry into the playoffs again?

Only in our dreams, Mets Fans.

This team may have more talent man for man than the 2024 team. But for most of them, they signed last off-season for a big paycheck.

The 2024 team came together because they were hungry, had mostly played together for several years, and learned to overlook the quirkiness of each other. This team, from the start of Spring Training, had no such history or personality traits.

And the brilliant POBO, David Stearns, showed he was such an egomaniac that he let the heart and soul of the team leave without a care for the fan base. Now, he gets to wallow in the disaster HE created.

The owner, Steve Cohen, gets to see half the stadium empty on most nights. Yes, there are games which 30,000 or more may show up, but it is tied to a give-away or a special event. Like today, when Bobby Valentine and Lee Mazzilli are honored as the latest Mets Hall of Fame inductees.

Boy Genius Stearns is hoping, by bringing up the future now, that these rookies will help remove the stink on this club that Stearns himself created. But he knows they are too young to really gel, at least this year, as a team. And Steve Cohen knows he is paying a hefty price at $370MM for a team in a rebuilding mode.

Not a good look for a savvy businessman, is it?

And for those of us who have been loyal, long-suffering fans, apparently this is our penance for everything and anything we have ever done. And we get it. 

So, we will continue to watch and root for the boys in Orange and Blue, much like the fans of the Brooklyn Dodgers, who were loyal to the core for their “Bums”, until they were deserted for Los Angeles. Because that is in our DNA. As true Orange and Blue fans.

All we can do each night as we watch the disaster Stearns created and cheer with all our might and as loud as we can, LETS GO METS!

Mamdani Shows His Ugly Anti-Semitic Character

​Yesterday, DSA Mayor Zohran Mamdani, an avowed Communist, revealed again his anti-Semitic attitude by claiming he will NOT attend the annual Israel Day Parade on Sunday. A tradition which every New York City mayor has attended annually since it was first held 1964.

Why? Because he disagrees with the Jewish state’s government.

First of all, you don’t have to support the Israeli government to attend. After all, Senator Schmuck Schumer has attended in the past. And he doesn’t support Israel, either.

The celebration along Fifth Avenue draws tens of thousands of revelers annually, including local community groups and students. Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch will, instead, serve as an honorary Grand Marshall this year.

The top cop, who is Jewish, pointed to herself during the briefing when a reporter asked if anyone would be representing the Mamdani administration at the parade.

“It is the mayor’s decision not to march, and it is my decision to march proudly,” she said.

But some members of the Jewish community weren’t convinced by Mamdani’s reason for ditching the event, pointing out it is a celebration of religious identity and comes at a time when anti-Semitism continues to roil the City.

And considering that there are about ONE MILLION Jews living in New York City and over TWO MILLION Jews living in the New York Metro area, the largest number of Jews outside Israel, it is actually an insult to almost 15% of the City’s residents.

Rabbi Marc Schneier, president of the Foundation for Ethnic Understanding, had a blunt message for the Democratic Socialists of America darling  and said recently, “The mayor was elected to lead all of us. He has decided that some of us are not worth his time. That is his right. It is also our right to remember it.”

Mamdani’s snub stands in sharp contrast with his predecessors and comes after he happily joined other festivities this year, including the Lunar New Year Parade honoring Asian citizens, the Pragwah Parade honoring Indians and other Hindus, and the St Patrick’s Day Parade honoring the Irish. But his hatred for citizens who profess Judaism is actually abominable and appalling.

Let’s keep this in mind what a bigot he truly is.

What Happens When Patience Is Lost

​Patience is the mark of a person which some have seen as weakness. But patience, or forbearance, is one of the Gifts God gives to a person, like Wisdom and Grace, to battle through tough obstacles.

President Trump has displayed much patience since the ceasefire began on April 8, after about six weeks of unremitting bombardment of the IRGC and the Iran regime. And it has been extended several times since then.

And in spite of the dalliances and delays by Iran to finalize a “peace agreement”, the President has displayed extraordinary patience, ignoring both world opinion and from critics in this country. Oh, and the continued gnat-like annoyance of Iran.

It continues to poke and prod, as if the bear will ignore and try to swat the pest away. But like the bear, Trump may lose patience and finally explode with a vengeance. And it will be too late to calm his resolve.

The IRGC taunts the US by insisting Iran has won the war, by planting mines in the Strait of Hormuz, and then claiming “foul” when the US destroys the boats, and now attacks Kuwait because that country hosts US assets. 

But the time is growing short for the IRGC and its goons. The ceasefire will soon come to an end at Iran’s peril. And world opinion has started to turn against Iran because it has denied its oil from those countries which critically rely on it.

The regime recently reopened its internet to the people. It hopes that by doing so, it can win the people over to its side. But it is probably too late. The economy is in disarray, the military is not getting paid, and inflation is out of control, making the cost of food, gas and other essential services, like heat and electricity, prohibitive.

Even patience, which is a virtue, can be worn out by those who persist in abnormal and inhumane behavior. Patience is finally lost when expectations for immediacy collides with reality.

The reality is that the IRGC will not budge from its unrealistic position of keeping it nuclear dust and control of the strait. And continuing the elimination of those who oppose their barbaric, demonic actions within the country.

The clock is at fifteen seconds to midnight. And Trump’s patience is approaching the terminal.

Be prepared for explosions to rock Iran soon.

Linking Taqiyyah to the IRGC

Don't believe them. Don't trust them.” - Captain Kirk, The Undiscovered Country

​It has been said before many times in this space that no agreement can be made with Iran unless the people can live in peace without fear from the torture and executions from the government. Anything short of this condition is only a continuation of the barbarism the people must live with.

And the words of the IRGC are meaningless anyway, as they have violated the essence of what has been agreed, as evidenced by the mining of the Hormuz Strait this past weekend.

Their word is meaningless. And their actions are delay tactics, hoping American and world public opinion will eventually grow favorably for Iran’s position.

President Trump will make a rare trip to Camp David on Wednesday to hold a cabinet meeting as peace talks with Iran near crunch time.

All members of the Cabinet are expected to attend. Officials will discuss “recent successes of the administration including economy and small business wins, Task Force to Eliminate Fraud highlights, and foreign policy updates,” according to a White House official.

But of course, Iran is likely to dominate the conversation after the US conducted overnight strikes on targets in the south of the country, followed by Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei threatening American military bases in the Middle East.  

As well it should. Operation Epic Fury was initiated to have Iran give up its nuclear ambitions, and to date, with all of the “ceasefires” and “negotiations”, the IRGC and the regime have refused to concede on this point.

It seems Iran will continue to develop its nuclear capabilities even after any agreement is negotiated. 

Taqiyyah is an Islamic term used to disguise the true intent by the one who employs it. Generally, Shia Muslims are the most adept in this practice. And, is the majority of Muslims, including the IRGC, in Iran.

While Captain Kirk is, of course, a fictional character, speaking about fictional Klingons, the words still ring true. President Trump would by wise to heed the good Captain’s advice.

They have proven time and again over the last forty-seven years that their words are not their bond. And their actions carry greater weight than their souls. 

Unless the IRGC and this illegitimate, soulless regime is eliminated, the only guarantee will be the continued terrorist and barbaric abilities we have witnessed for years. Both inside and outside Iran.

The Solemnity of Memorial Day, 2026

​

Today, we begin our Unoffcial First Day of Summer. The temperatures have begun to warm, the trees and flowers are in full bloom, and we anticipate longer nights, with fire pits, great music and a ton of fun.

But before we crack open that first ice cold brew and grill that hot dog or burger, or whatever your culinary pleasure, we need to remember the importance, the solemnity of this day.

People died and many cried for them as they gave their lives for the joys of liberty and freedom we take for granted. It began to take shape in 1763, as the colonists slowly realized that their rights as British citizens were  slowly eroding.

In 1776, it came truly into focus when brave American patriots announced to the world that they were free men, no longer subject to the rules of a government across a vast ocean who cared nothing of their well-being.

In 1787 and 1788, these new Americans argued over every word of what would become the Sacred Document of the United States. And by 1861, the phrase “the United States are” was fought over for four years, where many died, until that phrase forevermore became “the United States is”.

By the beginning of the 20th century, Americans were beginning to live in a prosperous country, with many modern conveniences of the time, developing new and exciting lifestyles, only the rich could previously afford. And when WWI broke out, many American soldiers went to Europe to fight and die for democracy and freedom, in order to end “the War to End All Wars.”

And less than twenty-five years later, many more Americans would die in a war to bring liberty and freedom across the globe, in a noble cause to end fascism and Nazism which stripped many people of those liberties and freedoms.

But for the rest of the 20th Century and right through today in the 21st  century, Americans still die for the right to have others enjoy what we seem to take for granted. All over the world.

It is time for America, you know, the United States of America, to remember that the United States IS one nation under God, who has given much blood and treasure for the liberty, justice and freedom for all mankind. 

And to take a moment of silence to thank God Almighty and those who died for those American values, before we celebrate with that first ice cold beer, for the privilege of taking those values and rights for granted. Amen.

What Is Wrong With the I-Gen Generation?

​

What is going on with Gen Z and early Generation Alpha kids? Do they think they are invincible? Or immortal? 

Or do some of them have suicidal tendencies, which are immune to mood-changing effects? Like those found in Prozac or Ritalin?

Yesterday, a crazed gunman who believed he was Jesus Christ pulled out a revolver and opened fire outside the White House Saturday night, before he was quickly taken down by a barrage of shots from the Secret Service.

Nasire Best, 21, fired at a checkpoint at about 6:10 PM after being seen pacing in a strange manner up and down 17th St Northwest. He only got off a few shots before he was shot and killed in a hail of bullets from federal officers

He is just the latest in what is believed to be a generation of strung out kids who are seeking some sort of of life-defining recognition by taking a chance to assassinate President Trump.

This began with Thomas Crooks, who was 20 when he attempted ato assassinate Donald Trump in July, 2024. He was followed by Ryan Routh, a sixty-five year old man, who does not fit the group, tried to gain notoriety just two months later.

Then, in December, 2024, Luigi Mangione, now 28, allegedly killed Brian Thompson, the CEO of United Health Care in New York City. In September, 2025, Tyler Robinson, a twenty-three year old man, allegedly assassinated Charlie Kirk, Turning Point USA founder, at a rally in Utah.

Austin Martin, 21, was killed when he attempted to breach Mar-a-lago in February, 2026. It is presumed that he thought the President was in attendance.

And in April, 2026, Cole Allen, 31, allegedly attempted to assassinate President Trump and others at the most recent White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

There were other notable shootings or murder attempts in the last three years, mostly by Gen Z or Alpha Gen people. But it is not exclusive to these groups. 

It is believed the zeitgeist of Gen Z has been largely shaped by, among other things, the Covid-19 pandemic, social media and demographic turns. The turbulence of the past decade has undercut, to a marked degree, their confidence in foundational American values of pluralism, civic participation, free enterprise and democracy. The generation feels a huge disconnect to American society as a whole.

Thus, the high prepondence of violence. But that generation is also the first to be exposed to a predominantly high-tech learning eenvironment, with the Internet, iPhones, iPads, iPods, and other tech screen time at their disposal. Hence the I-Gen group.

Perhaps, it is time to return to a day gone by, and remove the opportunity to learn from all this electronic media. It has desensitized their humanity.

And return to human, rather than digital interfacing, so that they maintain their social skills to deal with others. Even those with whom they disagree. 

Democrat Dirty Tricks to Compromise Democracy

​

The Democrat Party, at least in Brooklyn, if not in all of Nrw York State and the United States, has proven itself to be corrupt, and certainly will do anything to control the outcome of an election. Election interference in order to preserve its version of “democracy”. Hmmm?

Ghoulish Democratic bosses promoted a dead man as a candidate in southern Brooklyn while soliciting petition signatures to help get House Minority Leader Representative Hakeem Jeffries back on the ballot. Robert Gevertzman, a longtime  moderate Democrat community leader who died in March 2025 at the age of 76, shockingly cleared the petition-checking process, records show. 

Gevertzman is now slated to be below Jeffries on the Democratic ticket and run unopposed in next month’s primary for a seat on the Kings County Democratic Committee. The Democrat dirty tricks didn’t end with raising the dead, however.

Borough party leaders also deployed a one-armed man who was caught in a series of bizarre videos this week claiming longtime lefty operative Joey Cohen-Saban isn’t a Democrat to help him secure enough signatures to qualify for a third-party line and boost his candidacy in a tight race to unseat state Assembyman Michael Novakhov (R-Brooklyn).

Cohen-Saban, as the local Democratic district leader, along with Brooklyn Democratic Party Chairperson and state Assemblywoman Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn, are the main culprits in the alleged efforts to mislead voters, Novakhov and other borough Republican honchos contend.

But of course, the Democrat Party and its left-wing media goons continue to accuse Republicans to be “existential threats to democracy.”

They expect that people are either ignorant to this deceit or are woefully blinded by their own beliefs that Democrats would not stoop to this level of election malfeasance. But here is a bulletin for all of you: the Democrats will do ANYTHING to steal this or any other election.

And the Lame Stream Media acts like the party’s press agent. Just like TASS in Soviet Russia. For those of you who don’t know or don’t remember, TASS is registered as a Federal State Unitary Enterprise, owned by the Government of Russia.

Headquartered in Moscow, TASS has 70 offices in Russia and in the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), as well as 68 bureaus around the world. CIS are the countries which made up the former Soviet Union.

So, the LSM, you know, companies like ABC, NBC, CNN, the New York Times and MS NOW, among others, are modern-day mirrors of TASS, the voice or press agents of “the Party”. 

They will ignore this blatant piracy of our elections and our government, and will only espouse the claims of the Demorat Party leaders like Schumer, Jeffries, AOC and other miscreants.

So as we move closer to the midterms, you can be assured of the Democrats' attempts to ìnfluence the primaries and the general election across the country. They have managed to create the playbook and use it already.

Unless we are diligent, they WILL succeed. With the cooperation Of the LSM.

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?
