Democrat party leaders make an ugly spectacle of themselves at Jesse Jackson’s funeral

 Andrea Widburg   

On the other hand, Jackson’s memorial was the perfect send-off for a man who hitched his wagon to Martin Luther King’s star—a star that won the nation’s soul by pointing to America’s future as a colorblind meritocracy—and then spent decades reducing that message to a Democrat party platform of race-hustling redistribution.

"In 2002, Senator Paul Wellstone, a leftist senator from Minnesota, died in a plane crash. His funeral made national headlines, not because it was a solemn and beautiful service honoring a great man (that is, a memorial like Charlie Kirk’s), but because it turned into a raging Democrat political rally. The funeral was so vile that Wellstone’s staff had to apologize for what happened.

"That was then. Now, of course, it’s de rigueur to turn memorials for well-known Democrats into political rallies, so Jesse Jackson’s memorial was no exception.

"Barack Obama, the man who ran in 2008 on uniting America, used the opportunity to launch a brutal attack on MAGA. Always trailing in someone else’s shadow, Kamala Harris did the same. Joe Biden, meanwhile, used the opportunity to tell everyone in attendance that they were stupid. For once in his life, Biden may have been right, although he abandoned his “smart” credentials when he forgot about Clarence Thomas.

"Looking at Jesse Jackson’s career, despite his allegedly telling his family that he wanted a non-political funeral, the memorial was a fitting capstone to a man who traded in racial ugliness for decades. Jackson was also a forerunner of today’s overt antisemitism on the left.

"Barack Obama (who arrived without Michelle, who couldn’t be bothered to honor a party icon) couldn’t say enough about how wonderful Jackson...er, scratch that. Couldn’t say enough about how vile MAGA is—and please note how the Hawaii-born Obama, who went from one high-end white school to another, intermittently mimics the cadence of a black Alabama preacher. These people are so fake." . . .

Joe Biden openly lies and says he appointed the first black Supreme Court justice at Jesse Jackson's funeral.

Iran's weapons are increasingly becoming missiles with nowhere to go.

 Shanaka Anslem Perera   

The missiles still exist in tunnels and caches across Iran. They are increasingly becoming missiles with nowhere to go.

"oooooh! Up in smoke!

 

"Everyone is counting Iran’s missiles. They are counting the wrong thing. "The number that determines the outcome of this war is not 2,000 or 2,500 or 3,000. Those are pre-war missile inventory estimates and they are now largely irrelevant. The number that determines the outcome is the one that moved from 504 to 29 in five days. "On Day 1 of Operation Epic Fury, Iran fired 504 ballistic missiles and drones across the Gulf theater. On Day 5, the number was 29. That is a 94 percent collapse in daily launch volume in less than a week. Not because Iran ran out of missiles. Because Iran ran out of the thing that launches them. "Launchers." . . .

. . . "Iran’s missile doctrine was built on volume and simultaneity. The mass salvo, hundreds of missiles launched in coordinated waves from dispersed platforms designed to overwhelm Iron Dome and US Patriot batteries by saturating their intercept capacity, is the only mechanism by which Iran’s missile force constitutes a genuine strategic threat to Israel. A degraded launcher pool that can produce 29 fires per day is not a mass salvo capability. It is a harassment capability. The two are not the same threat in any meaningful military sense." . . .

The HORRORS of Ayatollah Khomeinis Execution Methods

American Thinker

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s murderous history of tyranny as Iran’s supreme leader   "Iran’s eliminated tyrant Ayatollah Ali Khamenei spent nearly 37 years as the Islamic Republic’s supreme leader, overseeing a murderous, oppressive regime with more than 30,000 state-sponsored executions under his watch.

"The 86-year-old tyrannical cleric – who assumed control over the Islamic Republic of Iran in June 1989 — has been widely condemned over the past few decades for violating human rights, sky-high execution rates, violently suppressing protests and mass discrimination.

"He has crushed a slew of nationwide demonstrations, including protests in 2022 supporting Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old Iranian woman who died after being arrested for allegedly violating strict hijab rules.

"There were 2,201 people executed last year under Khamenei’s rule — the most grisly yearly total under his regime. It continued a decades-long tradition of discriminating against religious minorities, same-sex couples, women – and anyone who criticized the government, according to the National Council of Resistance of Iran.

"And he ordered the deaths of as many as 10,000 protesters or more who hit the streets in recent months to demand change." . . .More...

"When Ayatollah Khomeini took power, many Iranians believed a new era of justice had begun. But what followed instead was a decade where executions became one of the most powerful tools of the state. From rooftop firing squads, to public crane hangings, to secret mass executions, the system moved fast and showed little mercy.
