The Only Legacy on Iran Worth Having

Donald Trump prides himself on being a deal-maker. And he aspires to be a peacemaker.
Consequently, he is pursuing an agreement whereby Iran’s mullahs would actually abandon their ambitions to acquire nuclear weapons – and thereby prevent another “endless” Mideast war.
Mr. Trump’s courtiers insist that he’ll succeed where his predecessors have consistently failed. For that to occur, however, the mullahs must faithfully forswear their determination to trigger Armageddon, thus bringing back the Shiites’ messiah and ushering in their own Golden Age, in which all the world submits to Islam.
Ain’t gonna happen.
That being the case, the only realistic hope for peace lies
with the end of the Iranian regime. A true master deal-maker knows when to cut his losses. This is that time and Israel is prepared to do the heavy lifting.
Let that be your legacy, Mr. President.

Suddenly, a rising chorus of Western nations is insisting that there must be a Palestinian state, right now. And the United Nations is pressing forward with a meeting next month to discuss this initiative, adding further legitimacy to what is, truly, a harebrained idea.
Why the sudden furor? And why the rush?
Rabbi Pesach Wolicki, a world-class Israeli-American information warfare practitioner, has just produced a short video explaining that the reason for this diplomatic push has nothing to do with the merits of such a state being more compelling than heretofore.
Incredibly, these nations – from the United Kingdom to Australia half-a-world away – appear panicked that the existing Palestinian terror-state in Gaza is about to be vanquished by Israel, and with it the odious, terrorist regime that seeks explicitly to destroy both the Jewish State and ours.
I say, “Good riddance, Hamas.”

Roll Up Sharia-supremacists, Don’t Embrace Them

During his first presidential campaign, Donald Trump pledged to defeat what he called the ideology of “radical Islamic terrorism.” Of late, his administration has been signaling a willingness to embrace its enablers and practitioners.
That’s the unmistakable take-away from Mr. Trump’s visit to Qatar this month. After all, his hosts bankroll Sharia-supremacism worldwide, including by funding toxic influence operations and Muslim Brotherhood terrorists.
Speaking of such terrorists, the administration recently appointed a convicted one along with another Sharia-supremacist to an advisory board on religious liberty. It’s not clear whether Qatar had a hand in these ominous selections.
What is certain though, as former spy Sam Faddis powerfully warns, jihadis and their Communist allies are now openly advocating violent action here at home.
This is a time for rolling up radical Islamic terrorists – not enabling, let alone emboldening, them.

Today we recognize and honor the sacrifice of all those in uniform who gave their lives for our country. It is impossible to overstate the debt we owe those men and women. Without their willingness to serve and die, the rest of us surely would not be living in the land of the free and the home of the brave.
I would like on this occasion to thank as well the nearly 900 members of the Israel Defense Forces killed since October 23, 2023. They have perished in defense of their own country, of course.
But they did so in fighting Sharia-supremacist enemies who explicitly seek the destruction of our nation, too. Their loss in advancing what we pray will be Israel’s ultimate victory will help keep such foes from murdering Americans on foreign battlefields, or here at home.

Send All Chinese Students Home

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem informed Harvard yesterday that it can “no longer enroll foreign students” for “fostering anti-Semitism and violence” and “coordinating with the Chinese Communist Party on its campus.”
The Secretary declared,“Let this serve as a warning to all universities and academic institutions across the country.”
We must hope that this action will lead to the removal of over a quarter of a million Chinese students nationwide. After all, each of them has been approved to be here by the Chinese Communist Party. Often they are related to Party members.
And they are all subject to legal requirements to do the CCP’s bidding if tasked with espionage or even sabotage – enforced by threats to their families at home and, in some cases, covert Chinese police offices in America.
Such students are ticking time-bombs. They should be sent packing forthwith.

The Conclave that made Cardinal Robert Prevost Pope Leo XIV was roiled by his predecessor’s betrayal of Catholics and other people of faith in Communist China.
Pope Francis reportedly agreed to a toxic secret deal with the Chinese Communist Party – and ignored the CCP’s intensified efforts to destroy religion – hoping he’d be allowed to visit the People’s Republic.
Question: Were the cardinals’ votes cast with the knowledge that Prevost had actually visited China “multiple times” and would “gladly” continue Francis’ direction? Or did they only learn it, as we did, eleven days later?
Saturday is the World Day of Prayer for the Church in China. Pope Leo must answer that prayer by breaking with the Chinese Communists – not continue “the direction” of abandoning the real Church and submitting to their lethal, so-called “patriotic” one.
