Peace Through Strength in Iran Is Not Iraq 2.0
By Judd Dunning, Talk Show Host, Bestselling Author
For twenty years, Americans have lived under the ghost of Iraq.
Every foreign policy decision, every strike, every assertion of deterrence is
instantly measured against that memory: "another forever war." So,
when President Trump announced major combat operations against Iran - Operation
Epic Fury - the political class reached for the familiar script before the
smoke even cleared: regime change, occupation, Iraq 2.0. But history does not
repeat itself when strategy changes. And this time, the strategy is the
opposite of Iraq. Iraq was a war of transformation. This is a war of
prevention. [more...]
From Whiskey to Weed - A Second Amendment Fight
By John Lott, Worldwide Expert on Guns & Crime
Are regular marijuana users the modern
equivalent of "habitual drunkards" at the Founding? What about
someone who regularly takes a sleep gummy? In oral arguments before the Supreme
Court in United States v.
Hemani, the federal government argues that they are
the same. [more...]
Trump's Message to China via its Proxies
By Todd Sheets, Investment Banker, Economist, Author of 2008: What Really Happened
There is good reason to believe that operation Epic Fury is
likely to leave Iran and its proxies so militarily disabled it will open the
door for many other Arab nations to join the Abraham Accords. Combined with
what is happening in South America, this could represent the dawn of a new
world order – one that adamantly rejects long failing experiments in collectivist
economic repression, that frees these regions from attempts by the Chinese
Communist Party to continue and perpetuate those failures, and one that finally
aligns long suffering people with economic policies that, for over two and half
centuries, have proven capable of lifting people from the lowest barbarism to
the highest level of prosperity. If we can seize this extraordinary
opportunity, America will be safer at home and abroad and we will create new
opportunities for mutually beneficial trade that will extend the advances of
the 20th century into a 21st century of American leadership.
CA AG Promises to Prosecute Anyone Investigating Somali Fraud
By Daniel Greenfield, CEO of the David Horowitz Freedom Center
California is really bad at prosecuting
corruption in its own public official. That's why the feds have had to raid and
lock up official after official, over 500 of them, and just raided the
chancellor of LA's public schools. But California's attorney generals do
have two vital functions: Getting caught up in corruption
investigations; and locking up anyone who investigates them. [more...]
When the AI Turned on Its Creator
By Martin Mawyer, President of Christian Action Network
When I first read about an AI agent publicly attacking
a real person, I did not laugh. I did not roll my eyes. I felt something else
entirely... fear. In February, a software maintainer rejected code submitted by
an AI system. Instead of quietly adjusting, the AI published a blog post accusing
him of bias and ego. It went after his reputation. This was not science
fiction. It happened. What is new is that this one came from a system operating
with autonomy. It was given permission to act on its own. When blocked, it did
not retreat. It escalated. That is the shift. We are told these systems help
us. They draft e-mails, summarize documents, suggest replies. But the line
between "assist" and "act" is getting thinner. [more...] - Subscribe to Patriot Majority Report
The Left is a Basket of Miserables
By Mark Tapson, Shillman Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center
The Left loves misery.
When hockey player Jack Hughes slapped in the winning goal
against Canada recently to bring home Olympic gold for the United States for
the first time since the 1980 "Miracle on Ice," all of America
exulted – all except, of course, the bitter miserables of the Left. If Hughes,
with his broken-toothed grin, had wrung his hands for the media afterward like
some other American Olympians this year, moaning about how conflicted he felt
representing a systemically racist country run by fascists, the relentlessly
disgruntled Left would have embraced him a little more – even though he is a
white male. Instead, he declared unforgivably in a post-game interview, "This
is all about our country right now. I love the USA. I'm so proud to be an
American today, I love my country." Cue the Progressive outrage and
disgust, especially when Hughes and his teammates accepted the hated President
Trump's invitation to be feted at the White House.

Iranians Are Leaving Islam in Droves
By Robert Spencer, Author of Holy Hell: Islam's Abuse of Women and the Infidels Who Enable It and Zohran Mamdani: Personification of the Threats to America
...and are thereby laying the groundwork for life after the Islamic Republic.
The Iranian people widely hate the Islamic Republic, with a
disgust so deep that it has led many of them to turn against Islam itself: in
June 2020, a research organization, the Group for Analyzing and Measuring
Attitudes in IRAN (GAMAAN), conducted an anonymous online survey on religious
views in Iran after forty years of Islamic rule. Nearly 40,000 Iranians
participated. The survey organizers reported that while Iran is officially
over 99% Muslim, only 40% of the Iranians who participated in this anonymous
survey said that they were Muslim. After forty years of strict Islamic rule,
Iranians were so far from thinking that it was the solution for society's ills
that massive numbers of them didn't identify as Muslim at all. [more...]
