The raid on Iran was necessary to prevent a nuclear version of 9-11

Bob Kiffney, a former intel specialist, makes an important case for why the USA/Israel needed to attack Iran and stop its nuclear building:

On Sept. 11, 2001, nearly 3,000 Americans were murdered in the deadliest terrorist attack in our nation’s history. The World Trade Center towers collapsed in Lower Manhattan, the Pentagon was breached, and a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, became a graveyard for heroes who prevented even greater loss. The economic toll exceeded $100 billion. The psychological wound reshaped American life for a generation.

Now imagine those same three targets struck not by hijacked airliners but by nuclear devices.

Many hundreds of thousands—potentially upward of 800,000 in Manhattan alone—would die instantly in fireballs and blast waves. Hundreds of thousands more would suffer horrific burns and radiation poisoning. Firestorms would rage across dense urban cores. The financial heart of the free world would be paralyzed, the seat of American government devastated, and fallout would render swaths of our most populous regions uninhabitable for years. Trillions in economic damage, mass evacuations, overwhelmed hospitals, and a body count dwarfing 9/11 by orders of magnitude would follow.

That is not science fiction. That was the imminent risk a nuclear-armed Iran posed until the United States and Israel launched decisive military action on Feb. 28.

The ongoing war against the Islamic Republic is not the beginning of a conflict. It is the necessary end to one that has raged for 47 years.

He's absolutely correct. Have any of the RINOs opposing war against Iran's autocracy ever considered that? Let's be clear. If ground invasions are needed to put an end to any further horrors in the making, that's what must be done, and it's to be hoped the USA public understands that at this point, and will back the Trump administration on any decision they make in that context.

All these horrors could've been prevented long ago if anybody who actually cared had shown the courage to do so. Yet all these years, in one of the worst examples of history showing we don't learn lessons from the past, the cancer was allowed to metastisize, and regardless of the current situation and outcome, a horrific mess was left that will take ages to clean up. It's very fortunate the USA and Israeli militaries took up what missions they have so far, because sooner or later, wars to stop evil entities are entirely inevitable.

Utah is doomed by dhimmitude

Robert Spencer's written about how Utah's selling out to woke ideologies, with Islam being one of the latest they're succumbing to:

Mormons once had a reputation for being conservative, but those days are gone forever. Salt Lake City is so woke that it even adopted the pride flag as an official city flag in order to circumvent a ban on flying anything but the official national flag, the state flag, city flags and a few others on municipal property.

And so it was inevitable that Erin Mendenhall, the same far, far-left mayor who spearheaded the continued official display of the pride flag, would also engage in some of the most flagrant Islamopandering we have seen up to now anywhere in the United States. Islamopandering is all the rage these days and is happening all over the country; Mendenhall is by no means unique, but she offers a particularly egregious example of how foolish this really is.

She happily dons a hijab, oblivious to the untold numbers of women who have been threatened, brutalized, and even killed for not wearing it. Back on Sept. 16, 2022, in Tehran, the Iranian morality police arrested Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old woman, for not wearing her hijab properly. Amini later died in a hospital in Tehran, and numerous Iranians charged that she had been tortured to death while in custody. All over the country, protesters took to the streets to protest not against the hijab laws, but against the repressive and brutal Islamic Republic itself. [...]

And so on and drearily on, as Erin Mendenhall remains blissfully oblivious, and thinks that donning a hijab to try to attract Muslim votes in Salt Lake City is perfectly in harmony with her feminist principles. Lost in all this fantasy, she praises “the values of faith and kindness that Ramadan brings to our community,” giving the impression to those ignorant of their own culture (and they are legion) that Islam teaches faith and kindness in a way that Judaism and Christianity (and Mormonism) do not, and that faith and kindness didn’t exist in the West before Islam came along. She also ignores the real meaning of Ramadan, and why there is always more jihad violence during it.

This says all you need to know what's going wrong in Utah, and this is obviously just for starters. There's also the disturbing case of New Jersey's governor doing the same as she paid a solidarity visit to a cleric accused of Hamas ties:

New Jersey Democratic Gov. Mikie Sherrill attended a Ramadan event at a Paterson mosque led by an Imam who fought deportation for years over alleged ties to Hamas.

Sherrill posted photos of her visit to the Islamic Center of Passaic County on social media, wearing a hijab and taking selfies. In one image, she is seen speaking with the mosque’s longtime leader, Imam Mohammad Qatanani.

"Thank you to the Islamic Center of Passaic County for welcoming me to join their celebration as the holy month of Ramadan comes to a close," she wrote. "I wish our Muslim neighbors a safe, joyous, and peaceful Eid al-Fitr."

Qatanani, a Palestinian-born cleric, has been at the center of a decades-long immigration battle after federal authorities sought to deport him, citing alleged ties to Hamas and claims he failed to disclose a prior detention in Israel. He has denied those allegations, saying he was detained but never convicted.

Worst, a federal judge, quite possibly also a Democrat, blocked his deportation and this is one of the biggest problems with the criminal justice system in the USA now. NJ's governor is another woman, no matter her ethnicity, who's a disgrace for both wearing the hijab and making it look as though she believes being a woman is shameful, and then she makes things worse by siding with a monster.

And as for Mendenhall, what's she trying to do? Use a protected class pandering position in order to bring back polygamy, which the Mormon movement once upheld but mostly abandoned by the end of the 19th century? When somebody embraces a barbaric religion for the sake of that, it's clear something's horribly wrong. These are just a few examples of women who clearly lack self-respect, and must believe being born female is abominable. Somehow, it's also no surprise women who could embrace LGBT ideology would also be willing to later abandon even that if the Religion of Peace so demands.

The dangers faced by lady soccer players from Iran

Some terrible facts about why some Iranian lady soccer players forfeited a chance for asylum overseas:

For most international athletes, the biggest concern is losing the game. For Iranian women, the real fear is losing your life. That’s how dangerous the situation has become for a group of national soccer players, whose story at Australia’s Asia Cup quickly became the very human face of the regime at war with America. Torn by the chance to run from the cruelty of their homeland, but knowing their families could die for it, all but two girls made the ultimate sacrifice — turning their backs on a chance for freedom to embrace a fate even they know is uncertain.

For the last two weeks, the world has been riveted by the international soccer tournament Down Under for one reason: the hijab-wearing team from Iran. Days after bombs started raining down on their homeland, the players stood a half a world away on the turf in defiant silence as their national anthem played. Their quiet protest sent a powerful message on the global stage, but it also put them in the crosshairs of a murderous regime that spent the last several months slaughtering thousands of its own for less brazen acts.

Despite their hero status in Australia, the women were labeled “wartime traitors” by Iranian state media — a not-so-subtle ultimatum that led the team to sing the anthem for the rest of the tournament. But instead of boarding a plane for Tehran after their three straight losses, the women lingered for days at their stopover in Malaysia, alarmed about what awaited them when they touched down.

Awed by their courage, several world leaders weighed in, including President Donald Trump, warning the girls not to go home. Forcing them to go back to Iran could be a death sentence, he insisted. “Don’t do it, Mr. Prime Minister,” he urged Australia’s Anthony Albanese, “give ASYLUM. The U.S. will take them if you won’t.”

Albanese was already on it, promising anyone in the Iranian women’s delegation a chance at a new life with humanitarian visas. Seven accepted. Within 48 hours, five changed their minds, including the team’s captain. The players were “given repeated chances to talk about their options” but ultimately faced “incredibly difficult decisions,” Australia Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke announced last Saturday. Tina Kordrostami, a councilor for the Australian City of Ryde, explained that it was an “upsetting update,” but confirmed that “they are heavily intimidated and being communicated to directly by the regime.”

“I know families have even been detained,” Kordrostami said somberly. “I know family members are missing.” And one thing she wants people in the West to understand is that “Iranians within the country have in many ways given up on the West, and they are only relying on one another to survive this regime. So, when we do offer them a way out, it’s not often that easy for them to understand that it is, in fact, a way out.” She paused before adding, “We are very worried about them. We know for a fact that they will not be safe. I’ve mentioned this before. When you do break a contract as an athlete in Iran, you can face the death penalty. So, I know these women are young. I know that they are making an incredibly difficult decision, and I have the utmost respect for them.”

“Coercion is being used here, intimidation tactics,” Kordrostami stressed. “And we even had an individual amongst the girls within Sydney and Brisbane who was influencing them constantly in their ear, letting them know that whatever Australia is offering them, it will not work.” Asked if the players are being threatened, she answered unequivocally, “I don’t think that, I know that.”

I suspect part of the problem is that Australia's leftists allow coercers and other agents to dwell in the country, but that's a rather moot point. It's practically why the war against Iran has to be carried out and won, and the IRGC must be destroyed along with other dark enforcement systems they have.

Florida university had a very sad case of bad "Republicans" siding with Islamofascists

In the past week or so, the University of Florida had a most humiliating scandal, one that probably won't get coverage even in right-leaning news sources, concerning a College Republicans chapter that was disbanded for antisemitic positions, and it's even more chilling that some might think:

Another group for young Republicans is in hot water over revelations that its members have engaged in antisemitic activity.

The University of Florida disbanded its College Republicans chapter over the weekend following social media posts in which two members reportedly made Nazi salutes, among other actions. In response, the group sued the university, accusing administrators of violating its First Amendment rights. [...]

In a statement explaining its move to disband the group, UF said members of the College Republicans “engaged in a pattern of conduct that violated its rules and values, including a recent antisemitic gesture." Photos posted online by pro-Israel activists appeared to show members of the chapter flashing Nazi salutes, as well as posing with antisemitic influencers Nick Fuentes and Myron Gaines. Other reports of the leaked material describe group chats stating that Hitler “didn’t do enough."

The UF statement continued, “The University of Florida has emphatically supported its Jewish community and remains committed to preventing and addressing antisemitism and other forms of discrimination and harassment that are threatening and disruptive to our students and to the teaching, research and expressive activities of the campus community."

UF College Republicans had recently hosted James Fishback, a GOP gubernatorial candidate in the state who has embraced popular online antisemitic slang on the campaign trail. In its lawsuit and on X, the College Republicans group suggested the two events were linked.

[...] Fishback himself criticized the university for disbanding the group, likening it to the school’s decision to disband a pro-Palestinian group in the aftermath of the Oct. 7, 2023 Hamas attacks.

“It is disgraceful for Florida’s taxpayer-funded universities to punish student groups for their protected speech," he wrote. “In 2023, it was Students for Justice in Palestine. Today, it’s College Republicans."

And then we wonder why any alleged conservatives in the USA as of today may not support efforts to bring down Iran. Without a doubt, these specific students are another product of the Tucker Carlson-influenced mindset, one that's undoubtably selling out to Islam even now. What can be done to mend the damage? It'll take ages, no doubt.

The Hamas terrorist organization is rebuilding in Gaza

Some experts are warning that, while the war against Iran and Lebanon continue, the Hamas has been exploiting that time in order to rebuild its grip on Gaza:

While Israel focuses on threats from Iran and the northern front, Hamas is quietly reconstructing its infrastructure and strengthening control over Gaza, according to security experts. Footage and intelligence reveal convoys guarded by armed operatives, tunnels being refurbished, and the organization reestablishing itself economically-raising concerns among residents near the Gaza border that warnings of Hamas’s collapse have been premature.

Raphael Hayon, who operates an independent intelligence center from his home in Netivot, says he identified signs of distress and preparations for raids even before the October ceasefire. In an interview with Alon Sharvit on Kan News, Hayon warns that Hamas is undergoing a rapid reconstruction process.

He cites recent videos showing convoys of trucks entering Gaza, guarded by armed Hamas operatives. The footage illustrates Hamas’s full control over civilian areas up to the “yellow line," with personnel carrying light weapons and RPGs directing movement and setting the agenda on Gaza’s streets.

The Israeli authorities have been allowing truck convoys into Gaza without any inspection? I don't know, but if that's even remotely the case, it shows how security continues to be a serious fiasco, as is the way the Hamas is allowed to continue trying to reorganize. The IDF will have to prove they can act upon this info.

Zohran Mamdani's wife is just as bad as he is

It's been reported that the wife of New York City's first Muslim mayor was involved in anti-Israeli activities, among other things just as repugnant as what he upholds:

Despite New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s repeated attempts to shield his wife from public scrutiny by labeling her a “private person,” a series of bombshell revelations has exposed first lady Rama Duwaji as being involved in a radical Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) campaign.

Duwaji, a professional illustrator, is under fire for providing the creative backdrop for the DSA’s “Palestine on the Ballot” initiative — a project that used Duwaji’s animations to mobilize voters against candidates backed by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) and promote legislation targeting Jewish charities.

The campaign also highlighted the “Not on Our Dime Act,” a controversial bill originally sponsored by Mamdani during his time in the New York State Assembly, which would target certain nonprofits accused of supporting Israeli settlements.

Critics argue Duwaji’s “behind-the-scenes” role is a facade.

“Does anybody believe she’s a private citizen?” asked Dov Hikind, founder of Americans Against Antisemitism. Hikind characterized the first lady as even more radical than the mayor, calling the couple “two peas in a pod” united by “vile hatred” for Israel.

The DSA collaboration is only the latest in a mounting pile of evidence regarding Duwaji’s radical leanings. Reports have surfaced showing that she used her social media accounts to endorse extreme, anti-Semitic rhetoric, including content that framed terrorist violence in supportive terms.

Duwaji reportedly “liked” Instagram posts on the day of the Hamas massacre that featured live-streamed footage of terrorists breaching the Gaza border and commandeering Israel Defense Forces vehicles. One post she approved of hailed the attack as “breaking the walls of apartheid.”

More recently, Duwaji liked a post that dismissed the documented mass rapes of Israeli women during the October 7 attacks as a “mass hoax” fabricated by the media.

Duwaji has also been credited with providing lead graphics for an essay by Susan Abulhawa, an activist who has described Jewish people as “vampires,” “demons,” and “rootless ghouls.”

The revelation of Duwaji’s involvement with the DSA belies Mayor Mamdani’s efforts to present a more moderate front. While Mamdani’s office issued a standard statement condemning Hamas as a terrorist organization, his wife’s digital trail suggests a much darker affinity for the “resistance” that her husband publicly critiques.

No doubt, she tries to do a lot of the stuff he might hold his cards closer to his chest about. Of course, when Mamdani himself talks about "globalizing the intifada", that's very telling too. Just another example of how NYC's become hopeless these days.

Iran's tyrants continue to demonstrate why they don't belong

Iran caused a lot of destruction in areas like Arad and Dimona over the past 2 days:

Just after an Iranian strike caused a mass casualty event in Arad, at least 25 people including a 10-year-old boy also suffered injuries from Iranian missile fire striking the city of Dimona, Israel. From the scene of the strike, Netanyahu said, “If anyone needed explanation of why Iran is the enemy of civilization, and the enemy and the danger to the entire world you got it in the last 48 hours.”

He explained further, “In the last 48 hours, they fired … on civilians, on children. There's a children's nursery here. There's an old …person's home here. Civilians, families, they fire terror weapons on civilians. And often they use cluster bombs, which are forbidden by international law.”

Besides that, Netanyahu emphasized, “The second thing that [Iran’s regime] did is that they fired on Jerusalem right next to the holy places. They sent ballistic missiles that could have destroyed the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, Al Aqsa Mosque, and the Western Wall, the three holiest sites to the three monotheistic religions, they don't care. They fired at everyone.”

Thirdly, Netanyahu stated, Iran’s regime “fired an intercontinental ballistic missile 4,000 kilometers right into Diego Garcia, the American British base. They can reach down with these ballistic missiles everywhere in Europe, almost everywhere in Europe. I've been warning that for years.” This is why NATO needs to quit whining about Donald Trump and realize this is their war too.

And this is precisely why the barbarians in Iran must be brought down.

John Daniel Davidson seems to be continuing his efforts to damage morale, and even the Daily Caller

The Federalist editor John Daniel Davidson, who previously made defeatist arguements regarding the war against Islamofascism, which he termed "forever wars", looks like he's still keeping up a Tucker Carlson-influenced position, and hinting he's against ground operations, if that's what's needed to bring down the Islamofascists still in Iran. What he says was written in response to the crisis at the straits of Hormuz:

To open the strait, the administration is going to have to choose among a set of actions that are, for obvious reasons, unappealing and unpopular: all-out regime change, the deployment of U.S. ground forces to the Iranian coast (among other possible deployments inside Iran, like using U.S. Special Forces to secure nuclear sites and materials), and Persian Gulf convoys for the foreseeable future.

While much depends on how these things are done, they will likely be deeply unpopular — and not just with Trump’s critics on the left. Polls right now indicate broad support for the war among Republicans and the president’s MAGA base, but the minute U.S. troops set foot on Iranian soil we should expect that support to begin eroding.

So in other words, it's okay for Iran to cause chaos for anyone sailing through Hormuz, but ground troops bringing down the dictatorship is inherently wrong, huh? What a shoddy disgrace Davidson's being. Hey, of course it's bad if say, Europe's militaries aren't willing to take any of the needed steps to deal with this, but that doesn't mean the USA military shouldn't deal with the situation and do everything possible to put a stop to what Iran's doing there. Again, we seem to have here a situation where somebody refuses to recognize that freedom isn't free, and Davidson clearly doesn't want to help Reza Pahlavi in his own campaign to put a stop to the Iranian autocracy.

That’s why the Trump administration should begin a concerted and coordinated effort now to assuage Americans’ concerns about getting bogged down in Iran. If victory in Iran is going to require more than flying sorties over Iranian airspace and dropping bombs, then Trump and his officials should begin preparing the American people for that eventuality.

Indeed, support for any overseas military action often depends on managing Americans’ expectations. If the message is that the Iran war will be a walk in the park, or that it will be over by the end of the month, and it turns out that major, months-long operations (and possibly ground troops) are going to be required to secure the Strait of Hormuz or enact regime change, that will erode support for the war faster than anything.

Because Davidson wants it to. And that's shameful. I think this could be a case of wanting to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. I'm not convinced Davidson even cares about Europe's dire state, based on such fishy and otherwise shoddy coverage. If there's uranium in Iran that needs to be stopped, it's just all the more disturbing that somebody would oppose that, especially somebody claiming to be a conservative.

Since this subject came up, here's another article about the sad situation where a considerable number of Americans don't want to do any ground combat, and worse, may not want the USA military defeating Iran's ayatollah regime at all. although since this is the Daily Caller, the site co-founded by Tucker Carlson, perhaps what they're saying is skewed:

Recent polling shows weak support for the war among Americans. According to a Reuters/Ipsos poll released March 1, only 27% support strikes against Iran. Support among Republicans is at 55%, while it is 19% among independents and just 7% among Democrats — making it one of the most unpopular wars in decades.

“It’s unusual to have such a negative response when American troops are still fighting, and I think that has everything to do with the polarization we’re facing,” pollster Scott Rasmussen, founder of Rasmussen Reports, told the Daily Caller News Foundation.

“Now, that the view about Iran is becoming more negative. Let’s be very clear about this. There is a lot of downside potential coming out of Iran that could really hurt the president, really hurt Republicans,” Rasmussen said.

What's strange is that in the following poll news, coming from Rasmussen's own company, however, contradicts what the Daily Caller's claiming:

Polling throughout the nearly three-week U.S.-Israeli military operation against Iran has consistently shown near-unanimous backing for President Donald Trump’s decision to launch Operation Epic Fury among the MAGA base and overwhelming support among Republicans, while a new Rasmussen Reports survey released Monday finds that a majority of likely voters overall say the operation has been succeeding.

The Rasmussen poll found that 61 percent of likely voters say the military operation against Iran has been successful so far, including 35 percent who describe it as “very successful.” [...]

Other polling has reinforced the same pattern across multiple surveys conducted since the operation began.

An Economist/YouGov poll conducted in recent days found that 87 percent of MAGA supporters approve of Trump’s handling of Iran, while other surveys have placed support as high as 91 percent among MAGA-aligned voters.

This certainly is much different than what the Daily Caller's telling, and indeed, how is it possible Rasmussen himself would be quoted telling them such a downer? For all we know, they probably distorted his statements, and provided one more reason why anything coming from Daily Caller has to be taken with a grain of salt. I guess that's the Carlson influence in motion alright.

Davidson is not suited for his job with the bizarrely defeatist approach he's taking that doesn't recognize why it's inevitable when moral sacrifices need to be made among patriots to prevent much worse from occurring, and it's also shameful how he, along with the Daily Caller, are even belittling Reza Pahlavi's crowd and practically erasing them along the way. Apparently, more sensible people are invalid in their hypocritical viewpoint.
