After the “Islamic Revolution” in 1979, that all changed.

Sharia-observant leaders stripped women of all rights, including what to wear, weren’t allow to drive, were denied education, and in too many cases, being forced to marry crusty old men while at the ripe old age of six, and could be stoned to death for a variety of “misdeeds”.

The barbarism that became Iran was accepted, condoned or conveniently ignored.

“When we say our women should enter the community, we should have provided them with a very safe work and social environment. Stoning is a very important restraining law to protect the marriage contract of families.”
— Secretary of High Council for Human Rights Mohammad Javad Larijani, 1/14/23

According to that piece, their “judiciary placed a moratorium on stoning in 2002 and it was replaced by the death penalty more than a decade ago.”

Remember that when you hear ignorant young people, mummified activists like Jane Fonda and deranged blabbermouths like Tucker Carlson express horror about the freeing of a nation and demand things go back as they were because life in Iran was just peachy!

“Right now we are witnessing the horror of an unnecessary, unprovoked war of choice, waged by the Trump administration. This dangerous and insane war against Iran not only violates international law and our constitution and War Powers Act, but risks exploding into a vast war of mass proportion, taking the lives of many, including U.S. service people.”
— Jane Fonda, Los Angeles, 2/28/26

Leave aside the fact that Democrats didn’t say shit when then-President Barack Obama conducted military operations in Libya, drone and airstrikes in Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia al-Qaeda and affiliated groups, and airstrikes against the Islamic State (ISIS) in Iraq and Syria without congressional approval; Democrats didn’t say shit when then-President Joe Biden ordered airstrikes against Houthi targets in Yemen, and airstrikes in Iraq and Syria without congressional authorization. Many soldiers were killed and injured on their watches and they stopped keeping count.

During this latest turn of events, even our media had to reluctantly report that unarmed “peaceful protesters” were being mowed down by the regime.

Now RINOs, Democrats and the new Supreme Leader are complaining about Donald Trump‘s strikes to end Iran‘s attacks on the United States and the world.

Because they know what’s best for the Iranian people.

MAGA rebels Massie and MTG echo sentiments by prominent Democrats including House minority leader Hakeem Jeffries and Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer

Those “Republicans” are calling the Trump strikes “America Last” but if you were to go back and count, “Death to America” appears to have been winning. It’s the kind of thinking that allowed Iran’s proxies to actually target and kill Americans for decades.

A lot of Americans….

William Cohen, lawyer, author, and politician; Les Aspin, politician and economist,, William Perry, academic and businessman, none of whom had any military experience, were the Secretaries of Defense during President Bill Clinton’s terms. Donald Rumsfeld, who had no military experience, was the Secretary of Defense during President George W. Bush’s terms.

1983: Beirut barracks bombing: Hezbollah operatives killed 220 U.S. Marines and 21 other service members in a truck bombing of a Marine compound.

I think it could be argued had Donald Trump been president at this time, the Beirut bombing alone would be all it took for him to finish off the Iranian regime and all that follows may never have occurred.

1983, 1984: U.S. Embassy bombings in Beirut and Kuwait: Iran-backed militants attacked diplomatic facilities, killing Americans.

June 1996: A truck carrying 5,000 pounds of explosives blows up the Khobar Towers, a U.S. Air Force housing complex in the Saudi Arabian town of Khobar. Nineteen Americans die and some 500 people are injured. The Iran-backed Hezbollah Al Hijaz, a terrorist group in Saudi Arabia, is deemed responsible.

August 1998: With the assistance of Hezbollah, al Qaeda suicide bombers almost simultaneously blow up the U.S. Embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, killing 224 people, including 12 Americans, and wounding thousands. According to the 9/11 Commission Report, al Qaeda developed “the tactical expertise for such attacks months earlier, when some of its operatives — top military committee members and several operatives who were involved with the Kenya cell among them — were sent to Hezbollah training camps in Lebanon.”

September 11, 2001: While the 9/11 Commission Report concludes that Iran had no foreknowledge of al Qaeda’s attacks on the World Trade Center, the report indicates that Tehran facilitated the travel of some of the terrorists. “In sum,” the report notes, “there is strong evidence that Iran facilitated the transit of al Qaeda members into and out of Afghanistan before 9/11, and that some of these were future 9/11 hijackers.”

2003-2011: Iranian-backed militias kill at least 603 U.S. troops in Iraq, according to the Pentagon. Iranian training and material support for Iraqi militias during the surge greatly increased the difficulty of U.S. forces to combat the insurgency and included some of the deadliest weapons used against American troops, including explosively formed penetrators (EFPs) and improvised explosive devices (IEDs).

Ash Carter, an academic with no military experience, was the Secretary of Defense and was followed by former Air Force officer/CIA analyst and university president Robert Gates during President Barack Obama’s terms.

2003–2011 Iraq War: Iranian-backed militias killed at least 603 U.S. troops, using advanced weapons like explosively formed penetrators (EFPs).

There were no direct Iranian attacks against Americans during President Donald Trump’s first term.

January 2020: Iran directed a ballistic missile strike on Ain al-Asad Airbase in Iraq, causing traumatic brain injuries in over 100 U.S. troops.

October 7, 2023: Hamas kills at least 48 Americans and kidnaps at least 12 Americans in a massacre of 1,200 people in southern Israel.

October 2023–2024: Over 216 attacks by Iran-backed militias targeted U.S. bases in Iraq, Syria, and Jordan, involving drones, rockets, and missiles.

January 28, 2024: A drone attack on Tower 22 in Jordan killed 3 U.S. soldiers and injured 47.

June 23, 2025: Iran launched 14 ballistic missiles at Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar in retaliation for U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear sites; one communications dome was hit, but no casualties were reported.

For time, I left out smaller attacks but it didn’t take long for Iran’s remaining leaders to take advantage of the cover and defense from American leftists….

Iranian Ayatollah Arafi Is Appointed Supreme Leader After Khamenei’s Death – Led Chants of “Death to America!” During His Sermon

Like the Mossad doesn’t already know where Arafi rests his head at night.

There was little outrage by Democrats when prior to leaving office, President Obama authorized the unfreezing of Iranian assets and gave them pallets of cash, even while knowing that money would pay for future terrorism operations all around the world.

The Obama administration secretly airlifted $400 million in cash (consisting of Swiss francs, euros, and other foreign currencies) to Iran. The money was owed as part of a failed arms deal prior to the 1979 Islamic Revolution, but payment coincided with the release of four Americans held in Tehran.
— PBS, 8/4/16

We were always assured by Democrat presidents that the United States didn’t negotiate with terrorists for the release of hostages and then went right ahead and did so. Definition of insanity, anyone?

The Iranian people were subjugated by a regime that was never democratically elected and seized power at the onset of what was called the “Iranian hostage crisis” in 1979 where the U.S. embassy in Iran was taken over and Americans were held hostage for over 400 days.

Many Iranians fled to countries like the United States to escape the strict imposition of Sharia tyranny. It’s past ironic that so many of those today who’ve taken to American city streets to protest Operation Epic Fury, a military action taken by President Trump because the regime continued trying to produce weapons-grade nuclear materials and again denied access to their facilities to United Nations observers. The TDS-afflicted were quick to condemn an operation they deemed unnecessary because they’ve never had to survive under those barbaric conditions for over a generation.

But they know what’s best for the Iranian people.

Not even a full twenty-four hours after the joint military action by the Israel and the United States had happened, the usual Trump-haters in the media just had to piss on the long overdue elimination of the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and his generals….

…
Washington Post Touts Khamenei as Man With an ‘Easy Smile’ and Love of ‘Poetry’

What’s really got leftist heads exploding are Iranians on the ground waving Israeli and American flags, praising Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and actually likening President Donald Trump to… wait for it….

“Every Iranian is celebrating the powerful actions of #DonaldTrump. He’s like Jesus for us. He’s a savior of the Iranian people. We will always be grateful to him.”
— @ariel_oseran, 2/28/26

“I have been singing, screaming, celebrating with my people,” Iranian-American journalist says.

Despite Iranian journalists who work for American news companies celebrating the long-awaited liberation, we’re now being told to be cautious as pundits and so-called experts who’ve written white papers, taxpayer-funded jet-setting State Department envoys and staff who achieved nothing outside over the decades, are now pissing on a day millions of Iranians in-country and around the world are #MostlyJoyful for a day they’ve prayed for.

‘Unlikely, Unlikely, Unlikely’: MS NOW’s Barry McCaffrey Predicts Failure In Iran

Kamala Harris is not happy with “dragging the United States into a war the American people don’t want” even though she was too busy to ask us and once dribbled out, “I think it important to find those moments of joy and not feel guilty about that….”

Iranians Take to the Streets to Celebrate Khamenei’s Death
Iranians celebrate worldwide after supreme leader is killed in Israeli strikes
Iranians tear down a statue of the Ayatollah Khamenei in Galleh Dar, Iran

Those oh-so inconvenient optics of leftist protesters in many American cities, but with the exception of bought-and-paid-for exhibitionists in New York City, there were much bigger and happier celebrations all across the United States and the world the media was forced to cover it.

Sure, the next for weeks and months will be important as those remaining in the regime choose to either succumb and work for elections and a new Iranian government or lash out in a desperate attempt for self-preservation.

Iran’s Guards say they ‘struck’ US aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln
US says they all missed: ‘LIE’
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Iran’s ex-president who said ‘Israel must be wiped off the map,’ killed in Israeli airstrikes
Mojtaba Khamenei, son of Ali Khamenei is dead in air strike

Protesters storm US Consulate in Pakistan, at least 9 dead

And the next few weeks and months will be interesting, abroad and locally.

Thanks To Democrats, Potential Iranian Terrorists Are Already On American Soil

It’s again Democrat politicians and the pundit class being the predictable Debbie downers because Donald Trump did something they didn’t believe possible as they were unaffected, fat, happy, comfortable and could be bothered even fucking trying.

They know what’s best for the Iranian people and American lives really don’t mean shit.

That would imply that Democrat callers were far more articulate and intelligent, right?

Listen for yourself….

Aside from the fact that even when cornered, CNN’s Alisyn Camerota admitted on air that she had no proof that Russia did anything to affect our election process, the easy-to-recite mantra continues from the intellectually superior Democrat callers.

CNN: Special counsel team members donated to Dems, FEC records show
More than half of the more than $56,000 came from just one lawyer and more than half of it was donated before the 2016 election, but two of the lawyers gave the maximum $2,700 donation to Hillary Clinton last year.

What do you think Democrat callers would be saying if Barack Obama was being investigated by a team lined with Republican donors? It would be denounced as partisan, highly unfair, racist, but as it’s the other way around, all is on the up-and-up.

And when it comes to the so-called meddling of elections, memories are so conveniently short when it comes to actual boots on the ground as members of Obama’s election team physically meddled in the 2015 Israeli election against Benjamin Netanyahu. Not saying “everybody does it” is a legitimate excuse but for the now sanctimonious to show outrage that our election may have been influenced by a foreign entity while our country physically did so is just another example of look-the-other-way when it comes to anything Obama and drag this whole Russian collusion thing out against President Trump for the next four to eight years.

Of course, THAT was entirely proper.

Considering how easy it is for Barack Obama to whine about anything involving pushback to his agenda, one can only imagine how much he’d be bitching if a foreign entity came to the United States in 2012 to help facilitate HIS defeat. Then again, we’re way past redundant when it comes to the hypocrisy oozing from this administration.

It wasn’t just Israel’s left-wing parties that lost big as part of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s dramatic victory yesterday. Team Obama, which pulled as many strings as it could to defeat Netanyahu, was embarrassed. It had dispatched Jeremy Bird, the architect of the grass-roots and online organizing efforts behind both of Obama’s presidential campaign, to Israel to work the same magic there with a group called Victory 15.
— Newsmax, 3/18/15

The possibly illegal meddling was flagged early on, resulting in the typical petulant, Obama-style mocking response.

V15 denied the charges, and said that “the Netanyahus and Likud gathered so many recycled bottles that they are convinced that they will be able to make imaginary genies come out of them… V15 activists will continue to capture the junctions and the street, while they continue to recycle and hallucinate.”
— Times of Israel, 2/1/15

Obama and his minions are really good at gloating when they win but are seldom gracious in defeat.

Among the most disappointed with the results of Tuesday’s elections are the activists of the V15 group – the organization that may or may not have been funded by American and European interests, but whose aim was to remove Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu from office. “A confusing night turned into a painful morning,” the group said in a statement. “It was painful not because we lost, but because we have no faith in the winners.”
— Israel National News, 3/18/15

We know the feeling.

As in anything involving the Obama administration, there are now questions as to the legality of what Victory 15 did, let alone the propriety.

A US Senate investigatory committee has launched a probe into an American nonprofit’s funding of efforts to oust Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after the State Department of US President Barack Obama gave the nonprofit taxpayer-funded grants, Fox News reported on Saturday. According to the source, the probe is looking into “funding” by the OneVoice Movement – a Washington-based group that has received $350,000 in recent State Department grants, Fox News reported.
— Jerusalem Post, 3/14/15

So, of course, those possible improprieties can quickly be mended when you have the power of the top office behind you….

The American nonprofit OneVoice Movement – under scrutiny by a U.S. Senate panel over possible links to a campaign to oust Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu – quietly filed paperwork that would allow it to engage in political activism after two leading Republican lawmakers questioned its use of government funds, FoxNews.com has learned.
— Fox News, 3/18/15

Like many other issues that have gone unanswered, it will probably take years after the anticipated departure of Obama and his cronies before we know just how many State Department (taxpayer) dollars went into the attempt to unseat yet another foreign leader.

Obama also had boots on the ground during elections in Great Britain where his guys profited off of both sides.

British Prime Minister David Cameron kept hold of power and was moving to form a new government. In the wings, American political guru Jim Messina was adding another to his long list of wins.

Messina, a top aide to Barack Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign and the chief of his 2012 re-election bid, joined Cameron’s Conservative Party as a paid consultant in 2013 and worked to export the latest innovations in American-style campaigning to the U.K. The former White House deputy chief of staff drew fire from U.S. liberals for joining up with Cameron.

A pair of Obama veterans, meanwhile, was recovering from rival Labour’s loss. Former Obama senior adviser David Axelrod and advertising maven Larry Grisolano had worked for Ed Miliband’s Labour Party, which suffered deep losses. Miliband resigned from his post as party leader and the Americans were heading back across the pond in defeat.
— TIME Magazine, 5/8/15

Obama has taken it upon himself (and his superior intellect) to meddle with American lives just because he could, but just because he can also keep his loyalists fat and happy, doesn’t mean they’re consistently good at it.

Messina has agreed to a consulting job in Berlin: He wants to help the center-left Social Democratic Party (SPD) beat Chancellor Angela Merkel of the conservative Christian Democrats in the next national election in 2017.

This Saturday, Messina will make his first appearance in this new capacity. The SPD plans to introduce their new helper for the first time at the so-called “Campaign Camp” in the Schöneberger Gasometer in Berlin. He will report on the newest trends in campaign work: data analysis, addressing voters and online communication.
— Der Spiegel, 9/4/15

It doesn’t matter where.

The premier relies on the American communication guru for the referendum campaign. The triumphs with Obama and Cameron, the 400 thousand euros of the parcel, the McDonald’s, the psychologist wife, the fast cars, the big data and the door-to-door: this is the “Mr. Wolf” who will try to convince Italy to say Yup.

“You are Matteo, right? I’m Jim Messina, I solve problems.” The first meeting between Prime Minister Renzi and the American guru of communication is good to imagine him so, on the threshold of the house, in full Tarantino style.
— Vanity Fair Italia, 10/7/16

But they travelled well.

Mr Messina has been a paid consultant to three disastrous electoral forays: David Cameron’s campaign for the UK to remain in the EU, Matteo Renzi’s Italian constitutional reform effort, and Theresa May’s Conservative general election campaign.

Unlike the private sector where results determine success, politics pays their fat-and-happy losers well.

His company, the Messina Group, was paid £276,000 by the Remain campaign, and a reported €400,000 for its Italian work. It is not clear how much Mr Messina was paid for his most recent work for the Tories.

The Messina Group declined to comment. Last year it did also work for Spain’s Popular party in its successful campaign. It was paid a reported €290,000 for its work in that election, which took place days after the EU referendum. Mr Messina, a 47-year-old former US Senate staff member, also showed misplaced confidence ahead of last year’s US presidential election.

“Dear panicking Dems, she will win,” he tweeted in September 2016, seven weeks before Hillary Clinton lost to Donald Trump. He also accused Mr Trump of running the “most incompetent [general election] campaign in history.”
— Financial Times, 6/12/17

So while the Democrat left pontificates about the horrors of foreigners meddling in our elections, take a good look at some of Barack Obama’s most trusted campaign lieutenants who are making really good money on foreign soil, working to elect politicians sympathetic to the so-called progressive agenda; not necessarily what’s best for the United States.
