Sen. Ron Johnson: Emails Show FDA Ignored ‘Overwhelming Evidence of Harm’ From COVID Vaccines  

Sen. Ron Johnson said at a Wednesday hearing that roughly 600 pages of internal health agency emails show federal officials deliberately relied on a flawed system to monitor COVID-19 vaccine safety. He said regulators ignored warnings from an FDA researcher, while witnesses said critical signals were missed. “The U.S. lacked a fully functional early warning system at the time of its greatest need,” David Wiseman, Ph.D., testified.

A BRAVE NEW WORLD  

Better in many ways…Still, you will be screwed as you’ll find out here.

Andrew Benjamin | May 01, 2026

The Party of Assassins

The latest Trump assassin wasn’t a radical. He was a Democrat.

Would be assassins “Allen and Routh’s views were generally those of mainstream liberal Democrats. They were no more extreme than your average MSNBC viewer.

And they were probably no more radical than the average committed Democrat.

The only difference between the two assassins and the rest of their political movement was that they didn’t just buy t-shirts calling for Trump’s murder…

There are two distinct but related things going on with the Democrats. One is that the party is rapidly moving ideologically leftward and embracing previously inconceivable positions ranging from socialism to treason, and the other is that much of the party…is… driven by a violently fervent hatred of Trump and a conviction that he’s Hitler.

This is not some grassroots phenomenon but the messaging from the top down of the party and its media apparatus.

That’s why Allen’s views are entirely reflective of their rhetoric. He wasn’t a Marxist, a Communist or a Socialist… his views were those of the mainstream of his party.

But Allen didn’t try to kill Trump and members of his administration officials in the name of socialized medicine, a command economy, the working class or any affirmative leftist cause.

He did it because he had been brainwashed into believing he was stopping Hitler 2.0.

Allen certainly wasn’t alone. The No Kings rallies and the ActBlue contribution tolls (Allen predictably donated to Kamala through ActBlue) are filled with millions like him. They don’t really believe in anything except stopping Trump, Republicans, and conservatives at any cost.”

The Democrats, just like the Soviets of a half century ago, just like the Musulman’s of the last fourteen centuries, had created “sleeper cells” – Fourth Estate operatives who can, and will explode, when triggered, or commanded by their leaders.

********

He/Him ‘Teacher of the Year’ Was Trump Gunman

“Protesters at the WHCD had called and continued to call for President Trump’s murder even after the shooting, holding up signs calling for “Death to all of them”.

While Dems are formally condemning political violence they, including Mamdani, had hosted Gazi Hasan Piker, a Turkish Muslim streamer, who had called for the murder of conservative elected officials” in The Cause for Islam.

Another Jihadi, Gazi ?enk Uygur, broadcasting on another channel, promotes voices from the Gaza Flotilla launched by his Turkish master Recep Tayyip Erdogan in The Cause for Islam.

GAZI, an honorarium means, “A Warrior in the Cause for Islam!”

********

ALL POLITICAL VIOLENCE COMES FROM THE LEFT AND FROM ISLAM.

This is true historically, as well as on the current scene. The Bolsheviks and Italian Fascists were also known lefties. So was the German party of 1933 officially called the National Socialist German Workers’ Party (German: Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei?[c] or NSDAP).

Both the Bolsheviks and Nazis were anticapitalists and antiglobalists. Solidly, unambigiously, both were leftwing parties. Tucker Carlson and his ideological mates are all leftwing. All of them.

However…

If you believe that the NAZIs were right wing, please “splain” to us how the words in the named Nazi Party: socialist and worker’s party, are right wing. And, if you can explain that socialist and worker’s party are right wing terminology to our readers in the comment section, I will give you that promised drawbridge across the Thames, as well as the toll booth I will throw in, just to celebrate your genius.

The Party of Assassins don’t believe in liberal ideals. Rather, “they want to shoot America in the head.”

Obama: Motive of Dem Who Wanted to Kill Trump Unknown

WHCD Assassin Wanted Trump “Immediately Removed from Office”

According to the media, the motive will never be known.

BUSTED!

Exactly like the $9 billion Somali fraud The Party of Assassins’ VP candidate helped perpetrate, the very propaganda mill used by the U.S. media and Obama’s weaponized FBI to dirty the party’s enemies; could not find systemic racism anywhere on the map of the United States. The SPLC has been looking for years, if not decades to find the systemic racism Obama, Kamala and Biden promoted in order to smear half of America and gain more power. They even tried to find it with an electron microscope. Coming up empty-handed the Party of Assassins and their paid-for coreligionists decided to manufacture racism to the tune of millions.

Joe Biden knowingly launched his 2020 presidential campaign on ”the very fine people” hoax—likely knowing that his hoax was based on a deeper hoax, one that the United States Department of Justice exposed on Wednesday.

The SPLC Was One Giant Party of Assassins Money Laundering Fraud

********

THE PARTY OF ASSASSINS HAVE FOUND AN ALLY!

I WROTE MANY MOONS AGO THAT THE LOONY LEFT AND THE CRAZED RIGHT – THE OPPOSITE ENDS OF THE POLITICAL SPECTRUM – ARE TWO SIDES OF THE VERY SAME COIN.

What I wrote back then, decades ago, was not what we are experiencing: a spectrum of opposing ideologies, but rather, a circle converging on itself. The disparate actors in this parody are one and the same in their hatred of civilization, historical facts, modernity, scientific advancements, Israel and the Jews, America, and freedoms.

The Loony Left and the Woke Right have identified the problem:

The problems are America and the Jews. Christians come in third, but not forgotten.

The spin to this story? THE UNHOLY ALLIANCE!

QUOTE: Consider the post-9/11 landscape: While the dust still settled on the Twin Towers, Leftist intellectuals and activists rallied not against the perpetrators but in solidarity with them, decrying U.S. “imperialism.” This wasn’t isolated folly; it was the blueprint for a deeper fusion. In conflicts from Afghanistan to Gaza, the Left has consistently framed Muslim militants as oppressed underdogs, echoing Marxist tropes of colonial exploitation.”

MEET THE MOST OPPRESSED PERSON ON THE PLANET!

Lurking in the shadowed corridors of modern geopolitics, an improbable yet potent partnership has taken root, one that unites the ideological descendants of Karl Marx with the fiery zealots of radical Islam. This “red-green alliance,” as it’s aptly termed, isn’t a mere coincidence of convenience; it’s a calculated convergence of enemies of Western civilisation, bent on eroding its foundations from within and without.

Drawing from recent analyses, such as Robert Spencer’s incisive piece on Jihad Watch, this discussion explores how the Left has not only joined forces with radical Islam but has systematically ignored the very issues that threaten the core of liberal democracy, human rights abuses, religious persecution, and cultural erosion, while elevating Islam as a “new proletariat” in their revolutionary narrative. The result? A world war, not of tanks and trenches, but of ideas, migration, and moral inversion, where the West’s survival hangs in the balance.”

*******

THE NEXT TWO ARTICLES FROM THE SAME DAY NEW YORK POST WILL PROVE IT.

ARTICLE I

ARTICLE II

The only difference between my noticing this convergence of ideologies (which are in the WOKE forms radical religions in fact that violate their own foundational tenets) with the improbable and intolerant religious zealotry of alien cultures determined to destroy you, your history and your legacy, is that I was ahead of the two writers by two decades. I had identified the seething and frothing evil of both who agreed with THE PARTY OF ASSASSINS.

********

PART II – HASBARA

“Jewish Supremacism” (and you will learn more about it below) is the term, the definition invented by groups of low self-esteem-low-performance individuals and nations allied with the Party of Assassins, the WOKESTERS of both left and right, who, because of their low self-esteem and lack of notable performance, have built a low-performance encyclopedia of narratives filled with bad ideas meant to defame people of high self-esteem and documented high performance.

Meaning, a people with great ideas.

These are groups on the political extremes, right and left. Their narratives match and agree and all their ideas are, for lack of a better description, stupid. A litany of stupidity meant for an audience of ignoramuses who never had a good idea in their pitiful lives.

THE RESULTS WILL WILL GET THE WOKE LEFT ELECTED! – JOHN STOSSEL

Historically, or at least for 3400 years since the idea of national liberation born fruit in Egypt (that liberation movement is now called Zionism, which happens to be the oldest documented liberation movement), the War Against the Jews began. It was local and/or regional throughout history.

In the last decade the War Against the Jews (1/10th% of the global population) has morphed and gone global on a scale not seen before – mostly driven by low self-esteem individuals at the political extremes and billions in Qatari cash.

The hatred of a better people, a people far more successful and happy than their haters, has been energized by thevery unhappy Green-Islamist Alliance and their new-found friends in the unhappy low self-esteem Woke Right who are worried that there’s a happy Jew behind every fiat currency. And they are right. Happy Jews have been happily spending oodles of fiat currency as if will go out of style by next Thursday the latest. Go into Bergdorf. Tiffany’s. Manolo, Jimmy Choo. Cartier’s. London Jewelers. You will find a Jewess in front of every counter.

UNITED IN HATE – ISLAM AND THE POLITICAL LEFT

DOJ Report: ‘Radical’ Biden Admin Worked to ‘Punish’ Christians

Incidentally, and I can’t help observing it, the funny thing about fiat currency vs, let’s say another commodity (i.e. gold), is that it buys anything and everything.

It also moves across the Internet with Letters of Credit for an American dealer to pay for a hundred German-made cars; or better yet, a thousand German HK firearms. Truth is, I tried to buy a box of perforated prophylactics from China with a bar of gold, trying to insert it into the USB port on my iMac, and guess where the gold wound up?

WE MOVE ON TO EXAMINE THE SUBJECT AT HAND

QUOTE: “On May 21, 2025, two young Washington, DC, Israel embassy workers, Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim, were murdered in an assassination-style terror attack by Elias Rodriguez, a 31-year-old leftwing radical activist.1 Rodriguez was captured on video chanting “Free Palestine” as justification for his deadly attack. Just over a week later, on June 2, 2025, in Boulder, Colorado, Mohamed Sabry Soliman, an Egyptian American who has expressed Islamist opinions online and in a video he made, carried out a fatal terror assault, hurling incendiary devices at Jewish solidarity marchers supporting hostages kidnapped during Hamas’s October 7, 2023 attack on 1400 Israelis and foreign citizens in Southern Israel.

These two incidents exemplify the two sides of the Red-Green Alliance—the partnership of convenience between Marxist radicals (the “Reds”) and Islamists (the “Greens”)—which has fueled both violent criminal acts and broader subversive efforts against the United States, Western civilization, and Israel through anti-American and anti-Zionist indoctrination and violent action.2 Since October 7, the effects of the Red-Green Alliance are ever more present with pro-Hamas protests on campus and in the streets, increased Boycott Divestment and Sanctions calls against Israel, antisemitic rhetoric online, and the meteoric rise of violent Jew hatred…”

You will read the evidence below about the Jews’ enemies – otherwise known as The People Who Never Did a Thing to Better the Fate of Mankind But Are “Liberally” Spending Their Energies Hating Those Who Have.

REASON: The Rise of the Woke Right

Some conservatives are embracing the very trends they once mocked—including victimhood, cancel culture, and even struggle sessions. These are the ideologies of losers.

QUOTE: “In 2018, some activists, appalled by woke nonsense being published by academic journals, submitted nonsensical research.

One paper claimed researchers “closely and respectfully examined the genitals of…ten thousand dogs” to learn about “rape culture and queer performativity at urban dog parks.”

Some journals published it!

In my new video, one of the hoaxers, James Lindsay, claims this “woke virus” now has spread to the right:

“There is a radical segment embedded within MAGA…that acts the same way, uses the same tactics, acts like the woke left.”

I was skeptical. But to make his point, Lindsay pulled off a new hoax…

…sighs Lindsay, “The woke right literally becomes all the caricatures that the woke left said conservatives are: ‘racist, sexist, homophobes.’”

“They’re fringe,” I say to Lindsay. “No real threat.”

“That’s what everybody said about woke kids on campuses,” he replies.

That shut me up…”

*******

As usual, it gets better!

To finalize the definition, “those who have” have done a lot for mankind and are hated precisely for it. They possess an overabundance of Jewish Supremacism because they have earned it. Their detractors, at least from my angle, have earned derision.

Winding ourselves reasonably down from REASON, the magazine, The Rise of the Woke Right began in the middle ages when Gentiles who ran out of luck took out loans from kind-hearted Jews who had the means to help out the Gentiles.

In many documented cases the Gentile found it more convenient not to repay the loan. Rather, to murder the Jew and his descendants so he won’t need to repay the loan. Afterward, to accuse him of drinking Christian’s blood. And then take over the Jew’s home, farms, and other property. Convenient?

I mean seriously, can you think of a better idea?

Let’s try it on your banker. In fact the Nazis did likewise: They expropriated Jewish assets to fund The War Against the Jews. And then butchered the Jews.

Who says the Nazis were stupid?

Just in case the Jews take over the world, the banks, the media, and the sperm banks by Next Thursday the latest, the WOKE alliance must rise. Low self-esteem is not enough. Given that Jews constitute 1/10th of 1% of the global population, and the size of Israel which most highly-educated woke people can’t even find on a map (see below), it is evident the unstoppable Jews have designs to take over your lands, rape your women before enslaving them, indoctrinate Tucker Carlson’s and CONdace Owen’s children into the Ten Commandments (imagine that crime!), and colonize every nation on earth – including Greenland which the Danes left fallow and almost vacant of habitation.

MAP: JEWISH COLONIZATION OF ASIA AND AFRICA MUST BE STOPPED BEFORE THE ZIONISTS WHO’VE BEEN AT IT FOR A CENTURY TAKE OVER!

Green = Muslim areas – not including Indonesia and Malasia which constitute the other half of the Musulman World.

Blue = The Hebrew State, after it has colonized, repressed, and oppressed the Islamic world, as well as Antartica and the Moon – after having had circumcized all Woke Right Christians living among the penguins.

The reality of Jewish colonialism of Musulman lands is that Christians in the area (already totally free of a Jewish presence) have been butchered by the Musulmans and The Religion of Peace.

The homes where crosses were hung for centuries over the beds are now occupied by THE RELIGION OF PEACE. So are the farms and businesses, and not so peacefully the religion has taken the former owner’s assets for their own. Take Spain. One of the most antisemitic nations on the planet with an antisemite for its leader, Spain’s Jewish population in less than 1%. One does not need Jews to be an antisemite in the land of the auto da fé and the Inquisitors.

The new residents of North Africa, Asia, and some part of Europe who are occupying the homes, farms, factories and other businesses of the Jews had learned a great deal from their benefactors preaching social justice – pictured below.

These paragraphs are a reminder just in case you were unaware of the existential threat of the Jews that a nuclear-armed Iran could have prevented. Ask Tucker.

At least it was the case before Donald Trump stepped in to stop all the goodness any Iranian hypersonic missile could easily have ended by wiping Israel off the map… as well as its innovations – including the computer and cell phone – which made the distribution of anti-Israel anti-Jew messages on the net and social media possible. Which reminds us of the low-self-esteem dimwits of both the right and left about whom we write, but also of…..

THE HISTORIC INCOMPETENCE OF DONALD TRUMP – KEEP SCROLLING MY WOKE LEFTIE FRIENDS…

From ISRAPUNDIT: The Drumbeat of Lies and Batsh-t Crazy Nonsense

WHEN POLITICAL NITWITS BELIEVE THEIR OWN DRIVEL:

Paul Schnee: Years ago, Natan Sharansky said that Israel’s enemies use three Ds in their propaganda war against the Jewish state: Demonize, Delegitimize & Double standards.

The LEFT, its enthusiastic accomplices in the media, and the Democrats, have been using the same three Ds against Trump and Republicans for years and Cole Thomas Allen – representing THE PARTY OF ASSASSINS – fell for it hook, line & sinker.

His so-called manifesto clearly shows that he believed the constant drumbeat of lies repeated in the mainstream media. Believing himself to be a rational patriot, he acted. He did not expect to survive his attack on President Trump and other members of the administration. Now he will spend the rest of his life in prison where he can contemplate yet another “D” namely, Duped.

No, the assassin wasn’t mentally ill. He was just another Democrat faithful to his PARTY OF ASSASSINS.

China’s Machinery in Iran Meets Washington’s Economic Fury  

Peloni:  The connection between China and Iran was one of patron and proxy, but their connection was far more useful to China than this alone.  China’s investment in Iran was to gain it the ability to brainstorm mechanisms which might face off and defeat Washington’s economic leverage against the Middle Kingdom, while also giving Xi the abiliity to both test and perfect these defenses against American dominance in the real world.  Yet, for all its efforts and all its investments, the Chinese defenses developed in Iran have been shown to come up short during Operation Economic Fury, which again should be understood to be an operation designed and executed as a contest against China and Iran in the same moment, a concept which was first raised by the Hudson Institute’s Zineb Riboua, whose detailed analysis continues to provide clarity and focus surrounding Washington’s actions, without which, many important realities would otherwise be misunderstood or completely ignored.

Israel prepares for Iran war to resume as early as next week, President Trump briefed on military options  

Peloni: Will the economic war between Iran and the US bring Iran to accept US terms or will it bring the US to return to war.  While reports show significant economic challenges being generated in Iran due to the blockade, the price of energy costs in the US are having their own effect in an election year in the US. The irony in this contest of economic wills is that should Iran outlast Trump’s economic resolve to bring Iran to accept the president’s terms, it will mean the resumption of war, and the likely fall of the Iranian regime, which of course would be a better result for everyone, outside of Iran and likely China.

Israel may ‘soon be required to act again,’ warns defense minister Katz

From erasure to inversion: The new face of Egyptian Holocaust Denial  

In Egypt’s morally obscene rhetoric on the Iran War, Iran becomes the victim, Israel becomes the aggressor, Nazis become a rhetorical weapon against Jews, and the Holocaust becomes either a lie, an exaggeration, or a political inconvenience. Opinion.

SS guard women at the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp unload the corpses of prisoners for burial in a mass grave. They were recruited for this work by the Allies who liberated the camp. A convoy of British soldiers surrounds the ditch. The former guards are punished by being forbidden to wear gloves, which would expose them to the risk of contracting typhus. Pictured: Elisabeth Volkenrath (1919-1945, executed in the prison in the German city of Hamelin on December 13, 1945), Anneliese Kohlmann (1921-1977, sentenced to two years in prison), Charlotte Pliquet, Ilse Forster (sentenced to 10 years in prison, released in December 1951), Frieda Walter (sentenced to 3 years in prison) and Magdalene Kessel.

MEMRI reports that during the recent conflict between the United States, Israel, and Iran, Egypt’s state-controlled media adopted an aggressively hostile posture toward Israel and the Jewish people. The rhetoric did not stop at criticism of Israeli policy. It escalated into familiar antisemitic terrain: Holocaust denial, Nazi comparisons, incitement, and the grotesque inversion of history in which Jews are cast as Nazis and Israel as the embodiment of evil.

Jordan’s Muslim Brotherhood Wing Opts for a Cosmetic Rebrand  

Peloni:  As the US ban on the Muslim Brotherhood goes into effect, the Muslim Brotherhood’s political arm, which remains the largest party in Jordan’s Parliament to this day, is seeking to re-brand and thereby survive so as to dominate the Jordanian nation into the future.  The chameleon aspect of the Muslim Brotherhood in Jordan is not new, as countless attempts have been made just over the past year to acknowledge that the Muslim Brotherhood is no longer active in Jordan, and yet, they are not only still politically active, but attempting to re-invent themselves so as to stave off being starved into extinction in the Jordanian state, where radical Islam has no need to hide while the regime allows them to simply survive by way of re-labeling their radicalism.  As the Hashemites allow this shape-shifting survival tactic to go forward, it demonstrates their true support for a movement which should be held as anathema, and this is true for both Jordan and the US.  Either Trump’s ban on the Muslim Brotherhood was sincere in targeting at least the Muslim Brotherhood chapters in Jordan, Egypt and Lebanon, or it was political theater to excuse the survival of this evil organization into the future.  How the US responds to the ongoing Hashemite charade in Jordan will tell us which of these is actually the case.

The Jordanian Muslim Brotherhood’s political arm, the Islamic Action Front, is trying out a new name.

Jordan’s Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) ordered the party to change its name under the provisions of the 2022 political parties law, which prohibits party names with religious connotations. On April 26, the party’s Shura Council, its top decision-making body agreed to rebrand as the Ummah Party. While the new name avoids the explicit religious label “Islamic,” the Arabic word “ummah” in this context still denotes the global community of Muslims. On April 29, the IEC confirmed the name change and the new constitution of the party.

The blockade bleeding Iran dry | feat. Max Meizlish, guest hosted by Natalie Ecanow  

Peloni

Video Loads  at Bottom

FDD Senior Research Analyst Natalie Ecanow and FDD Research Fellow Max Meizlish discuss the details surrounding the success which is coming from the US blockade on Iran.  As Meizlish examines the tools and actions which might be used to shore up the blockade, he explains that substantial pressure can be brought to bear on those organizations, banks and countries which might be involved in evading the blockade, thus indicating that enacting these steps is dependent upon the political will to enforce them.  Another particularly important point raised by Meizlish is that the use of the term maximum pressure is a political statement, but that it needs to have the support of maximum enforcement, and that this requires govt funding for the enforcement mechanisms, all of which are not yet being employed even as a war is being waged due to the failure of the maximum pressure campaign to bring Iran into compliance.

Is killing your enemy genocide?  

by Steve Kramer

Genocide doesn’t occur in the normal course of a war, when civilians are being killed. Genocide is different, It is the systematic killing of a racial or cultural group. The perfect example is the Nazi genocide of Jews during WW2, when 6 million Jews were purposely slaughtered.

Last October, Presidential candidate Kamela Harris was asked if Israel committed genocide against the Palestinian Arabs during an interview on MSNBC’s  “The Weekend.” She came close to definitively accusing Israel of genocide – a question that has increasingly become a litmus test in Democratic circles.

Why the Silence of Hamas Mass Rapes of Women and Young Boys in Gaza?  

Peloni:  It is time for Hamas to be ended.  For the crimes described below, and those which have been daily occurring since the founding of this evil organization, a death sentence looms over them in the form of UN Security Council Resolution 2803, and yet an intolerable series of reprieves have served to forestall this sentence being carried out against these barbarians, allowing them the opportunity to reinstitute their policies of savagery, of which the crimes described below are just a few.

Barry Shaw | The View from Israel | Apr 30, 2026

Why is the world that turned a blind eye to the rape of young Israeli girls at the filthy hands of Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad but became virulently anti-Israel is their active support for this Palestinian death cult, now totally ignoring the mass rape of defenseless Palestinan women in Gaza at the hands of Palestinian Hamas?

And, in Gaza, it is not confined to women. Young boys are also being molested by Palestinian Hamas thugs. Yet where is Francesca Albanese when you need her. Together with Human Rights Watch – missing in action. Totally silent.

HOSTAGE HORROR: Muslim Terror Group Abducts 416 Women and Children – Deadline Expired, Executions Imminent  

Peloni: Where is the conscience of the world as the horrors across Africa go unnoticed and are instead projected upon Israel.  Genocidal slaughter, mass executions, weaponized rape, and systematic dehumanization are all facets of imaginative false narratives focused upon Israel despite the libelous and fantastical sourcing for these false claims, and all the while the world lies silent as these events are in fact ongoing throughout Africa while the same media whores and diplomatic degenerates and perverse podcasters are, all of them, too busy focusing on the Jewish state to raise the slightest concern, objection or commentary about the fate of hundreds of people who are literally about to be put to the sword.  These arbiters of international attention have no shame, no moral compass, and no respect for human dignity.  What they do have is an obsessive problem with Jew Hatred, which comes at the price of ignoring real victims of real evil around the world which are screaming for a scintilla of attention to be paid to their plight as whole populations are under daily assault.  Notably, the well ignored story below is but one example of the human costs which accompanies the consummate obsession with projecting evil upon the Jews, which is above and beyond that which is paid by the Jewish people themselves.

By |

Where is the world? Where is the UN, the college protests, the enemedia? The silence is as telling as the violence itself. Only Israel – that is all they see like some form of Tourette Jew hatred.

The silence speaks as loudly as the violence itself. It is as much a crime against humanity as the unspeakable violence against non-Muslims.

Polar opposites agree on the Jews  

Antisemitism is perhaps the last acceptable prejudice, embraced alike by both right and left, religious and secular, Christian and Muslim.

The reasons for the dramatic rise in antisemitism today are lost on many progressives who embrace partisan ideologies that actually promote it and acculturated conservatives who blame it exclusively on their political opponents. In truth, antisemitism is perhaps the last acceptable prejudice, embraced alike by both right and left, religious and secular, Christian and Muslim. It is a hatred that has spanned cultures, creeds, and ideologies for generations and never seems to wane. And it is the one form of prejudice that can be expressed publicly without fear of censure or cancellation.

Vahidi believes he is trying to expand his authority to become supreme dictator of Iran. Every decision he has made is in direct violation of the Iranian Constitution. He now tells the President he does not have the authority to replace the Iranian Foreign Minister – who has become a mouthpiece for Vahidi. The legal framework is the constitution: the “rulebook” for how Iran must function.

Emirati Intellectual On UAE’s Withdrawal From OPEC: It Is A Political Statement And Perhaps Only The First Step  

The UAE will not remain in any organization that does not support and protect or serve its interests.

MEMRI.ORG

In an article posted on the Saudi news website Elaph and on his personal website, Emirati intellectual Salem Al-Ketbi discusses the motives behind the UAE’s recent decision to withdraw from the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), which will come into force on May 1, 2026. Al-Ketbi explains that the decision was connected inter alia to the war with Iran and the severe attacks carried out by this country — itself an OPEC member — on the UAE. He stresses that this move should not be viewed just as a technical step intended to free the UAE from OPEC’s oil-production restrictions, which are imposed for economic and political reasons. Rather, it is a firm political statement that the UAE will not remain in any organization that does not provide it with backing and with pro

Planned Muslim mega city in the heart of Texas wins huge victory and gets a step closer to becoming reality  

Janet Levy:  Lawfare at it’s finest.  Using “fair housing” to proceed.

By Laura Parnaby | US Senior News Reporter| Daily Mail | April 30, 2026

A planned Muslim-led city in the heart of Texas is one step closer to becoming a reality after a judge said the state must comply with developers.

The East Plano Islamic Community (EPIC) mosque is hoping to create a new neighborhood for its followers just outside of Dallas, close to the town of Josephine.

Initially called EPIC City, the project was rebranded as The Meadow last year. The master-planned city will include 1,000 homes, a mosque, green spaces and schools.

Tehran Panics As Financial ONSLAUGHT Leaves Then Bankrupt!  

Peloni:  Dr. David Wurmser joins Rabbi Pesach Wolicki as they provide a deep analysis for the breakdown of Opec in what will hopefully be the post-Mullah Iran era.  Among other facets of this emerging new reality is that it provides a counter to Turkey and a wake-up call to Saudi Arabia as the UAE is moving the region towards a new paradigm, as the previous two pillars of power in the Arabian world will be forced to continue to react to the UAE acting as the strategic dominant actor in the region.  In the middle part of this conversation they focus on the potential of regime change by economic strangulation alone.  Wurmser explains that Iran is not a real nation and that the development of fissures within the power structure has a real potential for bringing victory to the West, but that this ceasefire is coincidentally work to strengthen the regime and make its survival possible as it allows the regime to recoup, reorganize and recover from the recent military onslaught.  Consequently, Wurmser argues that an embargo alone will not bring the regime down, while acknowledging that it still possible.  Wurmser adds further that paramilitary groups entering Iran was another cost of the ceasefire as they now stand as a dominating and reliable force capable of both suppressing any popular revolt in Iran as well as countering any divisions from within the Iranian power structure.  As to the arming of the Iranian people Wurmser notes that the Turks are blocking any weapons shipments to Iran based on concerns of the arms flowing to their Kurdish rivals in Iran, but that there are other avenues available to ship arms to the Iranian people.  In the final third of the video they discuss Lebanon and the real successes which are being won by Hezbollah against Israel and that these victories are only possible because Lebanon is a failed-state controlled by terrorists, even as the West remains focused on self-denials of this reality in the form of peace talks with the non-governing govt of Lebanon.

U.S. Signals Approval of New Iraqi Prime Minister-Designate Selected by Pro-Tehran Bloc  

Peloni:  Will PM Ali al-Zaidi prove to be a reformer, a compromise candidate or Iran’s latest proxy leader in Iraq?  The truth is that he may not even be capable of forming a govt, and he has just one month before Iraq is back to square one while looking for a new parlaimentary leader.  What is certain is that al-Zaidi is an acceptable candidate for Trump, so we will see if having been chosen to lead the govt after 5 months of political log jams, this Shiite candidate from a region which is generally opposes Iran’s rule in Iraq will be able to form a govt, and if so, what sort of government he might be able to form in a country still dominated by Iran and its paramilitary groups.

More than five months after its national elections, Iraq may finally have a new leader.

On April 27, Iraqi President Nizar Amedi named Ali al-Zaidi, a businessman who has not held political office, as prime minister-designate. Zaidi now has 30 days to form a government by selecting a cabinet which must be approved by Iraq’s Council of Representatives, its national parliament. The nomination does not guarantee that Zaidi will assume the top office. In 2020, two consecutive prime minister-designates failed to take office after proving unable to assemble a cabinet with parliamentary support.

Recep Tayyip Erdogan has firm views on Israel: he doesn’t like the Jewish state, and wishes it would disappear. He is convinced it practices “apartheid” at home and “genocide” abroad. He has fantasized about creating, and heading, a pan-Islamic army that would be able to defeat the IDF, so that “from the river and the sea/Palestine will be free” — which is the thinly-disguised call for Israel to disappear entirely, to be replaced by a state of “Palestine.”
