The Iran MoU - A Formula for Disaster
Jun 17, 2026
Jun 17, 2026
56 sec
President Trump is expected to hold a press conference today to discuss a fourteen-point “deal” with Iran. Incredibly, it would formalize the United States’ surrender to a regime that has, from its inception, unwaveringly sought to bring “Death to America.”
For example, many billions of dollars will immediately begin flowing to its jihadists. All sanctions will end. The U.S. will withdraw its forces from “the surrounding areas” and commit never to go to war with Iran again.
Such terms might be justified if President Trump had “finished the job,” by enabling the people of Iran to liberate their country.
Instead, under present circumstances, this document sets the stage for the mullahs to finish their job, which is to bring on the apocalypse and thereby usher in the Golden Age of Islam.
Mr. President, don’t make that disaster your legacy. Walk away now.

Will Trump's Legacy be a Nuclear Iran?

There’s much loose talk about the so-called “deal” between the United States and Iran. Increasingly, it’s being described as “ending the war.”
That is, at best, wildly premature. At worst, it is dangerously delusional.
By restoring the Iranian regime’s access to oil revenues, ending sanctions and blockades of its ports, this agreement assures its survival and eliminates U.S. leverage – effectively dooming any further negotiations aimed at ending Iran’s nuclear weapons program.
In fact, with Communist China’s active help rearming Iran, a more realistic assumption would be that the mullahs will simply buy nuclear weapons from North Korea or perhaps Pakistan.
Thus, when – inevitably – they resume kinetic warfare, the threat will surely be existential for Israel, Iran’s neighbors and possibly large numbers of Americans. Donald Trump has done so much to prevent that, and must not have it be his legacy.

That would appear to be the case with the so-called “deal” with Iran’s regime now expected to be signed on Friday. President Trump is determined to get the Strait of Hormuz reopened and gas prices reduced before the mid-term elections.
While the accord’s details aren’t available yet and, if past Iranian practice is any guide, may be further modified, it seems lopsidedly advantageous to our enemies in Tehran. We make far-reaching concessions on our blockade and sanctions relief in exchange for further negotiations and the mullahs’ easily reversed opening of the Strait.
Most worrying, it ensures their survival, which will be correctly portrayed by them and their fellow jihadists worldwide as a victory. And pursuant to sharia, that ensures intensification of their war against us, elsewhere and here.

The Texas GOP Must Choose Banning Sharia

The Texas Republican Party faces today a seeming no-brainer choice: Will it stand with the man at the top of the GOP ticket this fall, Governor Greg Abbott, and 1.9 million voters in its base in opposing sharia-supremacism?
Or, will it legitimize among its convention delegates operatives of the Muslim Brotherhood and its pitbull front, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) – which Mr. Abbott has properly designated as terrorist organizations.
One of them, Dr. Tarek Hussein, actually founded CAIR’s Texas chapter and authored a paper about how to infiltrate political parties. The obvious purpose of doing so is to advance the Brotherhood’s stated “mission” of “destroying Western civilization from within with the help of unbelievers.”
Banning sharia is a winning issue for Republican and other patriots – unless the Texas GOP submits to it, alienating them and further empowering and emboldening the jihadists.

"Abolish Slavery 2.0"

One of America’s greatest achievements was the prohibition of slavery. It took a sustained national grassroots effort which birthed the Republican Party and the election of its abolitionist presidential nominee named Abraham Lincoln, a victorious civil war, then decades more to overcome Democrats’ strenuous opposition to civil rights reforms.
Even now, Democrats are making common cause with sharia-supremacists whose predecessors enslaved black Africans and sent them to this country for sale. A BanSharia.com webinar yesterday revealed slavery is just one of the prophet Mohammed’s abhorrent practices that sharia still commands his followers to emulate.
Make no mistake: If the jihadists have their way here, all of us will be enslaved as sharia replaces our Constitution and destroys the freedoms it guarantees.
The webinar persuasively concluded the times require a new abolitionist movement. Let’s call it, “Abolish Slavery 2.0.” Join us at BanSharia.com.

Is Korea Next for Xi's "Strategic Arson"?
Jun 10, 2026

56 sec
If past practice is any guide, Chinese dictator Xi Jinping’s state visit to North Korea yesterday afforded an opportunity for more “strategic arson” aimed at distracting the United States from his increasing preparations for acquiring Taiwan via force if coercive pressure and/or elections don’t have that effect.
That could entail a manufactured ratcheting up of tensions with South Korea now controlled by another of Xi’s Communist allies, President Lee Jae-Myung. He’s long wanted to remove U.S. forces from the peninsula and would probably happily play along with a bit of PRC-directed theater to do so to avert a Potemkin crisis.
Another ominous possibility is that Xi covertly directed Kim to join him in rearming Iran, building on their Chinese-approved collaboration on nuclear weapons by transferring one or more of them from Kim’s burgeoning arsenal to Tehran.
Brace for impact.
