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.

Savannah Guthrie Makes Emotional Return to ‘Today’ Set Over a Month After Mother Nancy’s Disappearance

Inquisitr  

"Savannah, who became a co-anchor of the Today show in 2012, stepped away from the broadcast shortly after her mother’s disappearance. Her last appearance on the show was on January 30."

"Savannah Guthrie, who stepped away from the Today show recently, made an emotional return to the studio. This marks her first visit to the sets of the show after the disappearance of her mother, Nancy Guthrie, more than a month ago.

According to the Irish Star, the 54-year-old television journalist was seen meeting colleagues at Studio 1A inside Rockefeller Center in New York City on Thursday, March 5. Visuals showed that Savannah appeared emotional during the visit, sharing hugs and quiet conversations with staff members who have continued hosting the popular morning show in her absence.

The return of the TV presenter was confirmed by NBC on the program’s official Instagram page. The caption read, “Savannah Guthrie stopped by the studio the morning of March 5 to be with and thank her TODAY colleagues. While she plans to return to the show on air, she remains focused right now supporting her family and working to help bring Nancy Guthrie home.” . .  More...

A spokesperson said she thanked colleagues during the visit but remains focused on supporting her family and efforts to bring her mother home.

Flashback Friday: That Time Talarico Demanded An Abortion Clinic in Every Federal Office

  HotAir  

However, Talarico apparently thinks that the federal government has jurisdiction to abort babies, along with the executive authority to just make abortion providers into federal employees to protect them from state enforcement of abortion restrictions.

 

Is James Talarico’s Texas win a sign of a rising religious left?

"Last September, the progressive Texas Tribune gleefully wondered whether James Talarico's leftist take on Christianity would translate from "online sensation" to a Senate campaign. Be careful what you wish for. Now that Talarico has beaten Jasmine Crockett for the Democrat nomination in Texas, the erstwhile seminarian's "progressive take on Christianity" has already become a big part of the Senate campaign.

"As the Tribune noted in last year's sunny profile, Talarico took a particular interest into recasting Christianity around the progressive's one and only sacrament:

In the Book of Luke, the Austin Democrat noted, Mary has a vision from God that she’s going to give birth to a baby who will bring down the powerful from their thrones. But, critically, before she becomes pregnant, Talarico said, an angel “asks Mary if this is something she wants to do, and she says, ‘if it is God’s will, let it be done.’”

“To me, that is an affirmation in one of our most central stories that creation has to be done with consent. You cannot force someone to create,” Talarico, an aspiring Presbyterian minister and U.S. senator, told Rogan, arguing “the idea that there is a set Christian orthodoxy on the issue of abortion is just not rooted in Scripture.”

He went on to accuse the religious right of prioritizing abortion bans and “control” of pregnant mothers, rather than reducing miscarriages and protecting children through expanded health care access.

“I think that’s what we see across this Christian nationalist movement,” Talarico said. “This is religion at its worst: trying to control people and what they do.”  

"Ahem. I've covered this before, but once again, Talarico is confusing conjugal consent before conception with abortion afterward. There is no biblical support for the idea that Mary's fiat was still conditional afterward." . . .More...

Iranian Simps Brand Torpedo Attack a 'War Crime' - They're Idiots and Here's Why

 Streiff – RedState

. . . "This was a stinging blow to an Iranian navy that had already been reduced to nothingness by the U.S. air campaign. It was a sign that Iranian ships were not safe even outside the Persian Gulf and Straits of Hormuz. It was a warning that Iranian military assets anywhere in the world were fair game, and the Department of War was not going to play the sad old game we've practiced since the Korean War of granting our enemies sanctuaries where we refuse to attack them.

"But, as predictable as night following day, was the left claiming the attack was a "war crime." Since Trump came into office, every military action has been declared a "war crime." Operation Midnight Hammer was a war crime. Snatching Maduro was a war crime. Chastising Iran was a war crime. And so, of course, sinking an enemy warship also had to be a war crime.

"This tweet on X by the Soros-sponsored "DropSiteNews" is probably the most succinct roundup of all the allegations. "  . . . (TD regrets the language)

"Let's take this item by item as though we were not dealing with a lunatic.

1. There is no evidence that the ship was unarmed, and a lot of evidence that it was. This image of Dena during Milan 2026 shows its SAM launchers loaded.

"This promotional site for Milan 2026 also shows Dena with loaded SAM tubes. Plus, it says, "During the sea phase, exercises such as aircraft carrier operations, anti-submarine warfare, air defense, naval gunnery, search and rescue operations, and multinational tactical maneuvers will be conducted." This implies shooting at stuff.

"None of that matters because being out of ammo doesn't get you a "get-out-of-jail-free" card, and any country stupid enough to send a warship to sea without ammo deserves whatever befalls it." . . .   Full article with links here.

James Woods and Adam Corolla Put a Mushroom Cloud Over Serial Liar Adam Schiff and His Media Accomplices

 The Trump administration is exposing Barack Obama and his administration's Russian Collusion Hoax, along with the Democrats like Adam Schiff who helped push the lie.

"Back when Adam Schiff was in the House of Representatives it was already abundantly clear that he was a shameless serial liar, and unfortunately enough voters in California deemed that worthy of a promotion to the U.S. Senate, where he continues to shovel BS on a daily basis.

"One of Schiff's biggest whoppers was about Trump and "Russia collusion," and Barack Obama was one of the Democrats behind of all that:

Reform California Submits 1.35 Million Signatures to Place Voter ID Initiative on 2026 Ballot

 California Globe   

"DeMaio vows that the grassroots effort will bring this energy to races in the fall: ‘This is what Democracy looks like’ '

"In a significant push for election integrity, Reform California Chairman and State Assemblyman Carl DeMaio (R-San Diego) announced on Tuesday that his organization has collected and is submitting over 1.0 million signatures to qualify a Voter ID initiative for the November 2026 ballot. The initiative, which aims to require photo identification for in-person voting, citizenship verification for voter registration, and enhanced safeguards against non-citizen voting, represents a major grassroots effort to address long-standing concerns about California’s election processes.

"DeMaio shared the milestone via a post on X (formerly Twitter), stating, “1.0M Signatures! Yesterday and today in each of the 58 counties in California, we are turning in signatures to force a vote on the CA Voter ID Initiative! We got it on the ballot, but now we need to PASS IT!” He urged supporters to join the campaign through Reform California’s website. The announcement was accompanied by photos of petition boxes and supporters at various county registrar offices, underscoring the statewide scope of the signature drive.

"In a conversation with the California Globe, DeMaio highlighted that the over 18,000 grassroots volunteers are “going to stay the course” to “bring change and reform in California to the ballot box.”

“ 'Voter ID is a bipartisan issue and common sense. The only people who don’t want it is politicians. The fewer voters that show up in an election, the less expensive their campaigns are. They want to use every opportunity to divide us by partisan lines. But the majority of voters  want Voter ID. The politicians never give us what we want–they are not acting on 70 percent of what voters want,” DeMaio charged." . . .More...

President Trump: 'No Deal with Iran Except Unconditional Surrender'

'Unconditional Surrender' Grant; the Civil War in America:  “Sir, Yours of this date proposing Armistice, and appointment of Commissioners, to settle terms of Capitulation is just received. No terms except an unconditional and immediate surrender can be accepted. I propose to move immediately upon your works.” U.S. Grant, commanding

 Sundance - The Last Refuge  "The U.S. and Israel have been targeting deep underground missile sites within Iran, with strong success.  Iranian counterstrikes, missile & drone launches are down 80 to 90 percent according to Pentagon officials.

Additionally, the Israeli military has reported they dismantled an underground bunker system in Tehran used by regime leadership.  Originally the bunker was used by slain Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei underneath the leadership compound in central Tehran.  The bunker was targeted by 50 Israeli fighter jets and subsequently destroyed.

President Trump announced via Truth Social that he will not seek any terms with Iran other than unconditional surrender.

"Meanwhile, in a somewhat predictable move, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has announced the U.S. will lift some sanctions on Russian oil exports in order to mitigate shortfalls.  India will be permitted to purchase additional Russian oil for use in their refineries.  The gasoline end products will then be sold into the market.

. . . "What seems very likely is that Bessent, Rubio and Trump have a plan.   If there’s one person in U.S. politics who understands how to use oil to financially mitigate any geopolitical impacts, it’s President Trump.

"Keep an eye on Russia.  Ignore the western media narratives and look for direct source information on Russian oil activity."

Iranian Political Prisoner Shuts Down CNN Lib Guest Over Operation Epic Fury  . . . "Some CNN liberals were trying to sell this narrative that this operation is chaos or something regarding what Operation Epic Fury is, which is pedantic, and got shut down by a former Iranian political prisoner, Kian Tajbakhsh, who shut down the liberals on the panel over what’s really happening. He added that the US was already at war with Iran—it started when extremists stormed the embassy in 1979. He also added that the regime itself felt it was at war with the US since then. Liberal guest Ashely Allison lobbed her talking points, which got intercepted by Tajbakhsh. Overton clipped the lecture: " “He said we believe we are at war with the United States.”

Ex-Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice says Trump needs to 'take care' of Iran for good

 NY Post   

“Iran demonstrated that it probably wasn’t possible to deter their tentacles-like Hamas. I’m quite certain that October 7 with Hamas couldn’t have happened without Iranian training and equipment and even maybe planning,” Rice said.

"Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice urged President Trump to “take care of Iran for good,” praising the bold military action — Operation Epic Fury — that resulted in the death of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.

“Iran has been at war with us for at least 47 years,” Rice said during an appearance on Fox News’ “Special Report” on Wednesday. “If you ask people about Iraq, what was the source of many of our casualties in Iraq, you’ll get estimates as high as 75 or 80% of them were due to Iranian-made roadside bombs.”

"Rice, 71, argued the main objective of the attacks was to immobilize the tyrannical Iranian regime before it could counterattack.

"“If you can render Iran essentially incapable of military action against us and against our allies, that’s worthy, and I think what they’re trying to do is to neuter Iran as a military power in the region,” she said.

"Rice, the former chief diplomat during George W. Bush’s second term, pointed out that the Iranian regime has built up forces in surrounding Middle Eastern countries working as terror proxies for Tehran.

" 'They also have developed the military capability to reach outside the boundaries of Iran, including Hezbollah and Hamas, which they both arm and equip,” Rice said.

" 'To say that this regime was not a threat … it’s ahistorical,” Rice said. “They have been a threat for a long time.” . . .  More

Why are so many young black men so quick to anger, to lash out and kill?

 Huckleberries in the Hood - American Thinker   

"They have implemented policies that have replaced black fathers with Uncle Sam.  The results of those policies are manifested in the actions of the huckleberries in every hood across America."

Dreamstime

. . . "It certainly isn’t police in the neighborhoods.  If nothing else, blacks want more police presence in the hood.  And it certainly isn’t white “racism.”  If anything, black murder and crime were much lower before the Civil Rights movement, when white racism against blacks really did exist.

"No doubt there are many reasons for the violence.  However, far and away, the single largest contributing factor is lack of fathers in the home.  Every research study clearly shows a direct link between fathers not in the home and negative outcomes of the children.  Children raised in fatherless homes are likely to be less educated (the kids drop out of school), multiple times more likely to go to prison (without an education, the kids resort to crime), four times more likely to be raised in poverty (two incomes are better than one), and much more likely to have behavioral issues — low self-esteem, delinquent behavior, mood disorders, get in with the wrong crowd, unable to resolve conflicts, and the like.

"The behavior issues should surprise no one.  Without a responsible male role model, young males never learn how to resolve simple disagreements.  Also, a young child often blames himself if his father abandons the family with thoughts such as “Daddy left because he doesn’t like me.”  Imagine the guilt a child bears when abandoned by a parent.  He simply doesn’t understand adult dynamics and internalizes that abandonment.  With low self-esteem, young girls become sexually promiscuous, leading to babies being born to very young girls and boys joining gangs to find a sense of belonging.  And the cycle repeats — gang-bangers (some as young as fourteen) get women pregnant, end up in prison, and their children are raised fatherless.  Sadly, about 75% of black children are born to unmarried women, and about 66% of black children are raised in single-parent households, the vast majority of those by single women.

"To understand the dynamics of both parents, all one has to do is observe the differences between how most women interact with children versus men.  The mother asks the child, “Johnny, do you want to eat your carrots?”  Of course, he says, “No!,” and the father firmly says, “You’re sitting here until you eat those carrots.”  When disciplining, the woman tells the child, three or four times, to do something.  The man sternly says, “Look at me when I’m talking.  Do you want a whooping?  Then do what you’re told.”  Mothers and fathers both contribute to the whole child." . . .

Bill Clinton Has Much to Answer for on Epstein

 The American Spectator | USA News and Politics

. . . "Clinton said he “saw nothing” and “did nothing wrong.” Maybe that’s true, but it stretches the imagination to believe that Clinton spent so much time around Epstein — and the women he surrounded himself with — and had no clue what was going on."

"Former President Bill Clinton gave a deposition Friday on his relationship with child sex abuser Jeffrey Epstein that was decidedly necessary.

"Clinton had a decade-long relationship with Epstein that extended to the point that he flew on the disgraced financier’s private plane 24 times and appears in the Epstein files in photographs with multiple young women.

"We learned from the Epstein files that the FBI has investigated claims against Clinton in connection with its investigation of Epstein’s activities. Federal investigators even questioned Epstein extensively on his relationship with Clinton. To all of these inquiries, Epstein responded by pleading the Fifth."The images of Clinton that have emerged from the Epstein files suggest that Clinton was close enough with Epstein, as well as with Ghislaine Maxwell, to casually hang out with the young women — and victims — in their orbit. (RELATED: The Spectator P.M. Ep. 192: New Evidence Shows Clintons’ Long Relationship With Epstein)

"That is concerning given that we know that Epstein victimized women and children by offering them to his associates for them to sexually abuse.

"In a particularly concerning photo published by the Daily Mail, Clinton is shown in 2002 receiving a shoulder massage from a young woman, Chauntae Davies, who was a victim of Jeffrey Epstein. At the time the photo was taken, Davies was 22 years old. She later accused Epstein of having repeatedly raped her for four years from 2001 until 2005, when she was able to escape. She has said that massaging the former president was consensual.

"Two other photos from the Epstein files show Clinton posing with unidentified young women whose faces are redacted. In both of them, his arm is around the woman’s shoulder." More...

Iran’s Surging Missile ‘Shield’: The Best Justification for Attacking Iran Now

As Iran unleashes missiles and drones across the Middle East while racing to build a protective “missile shield” for its nuclear ambitions, Operation Epic Fury may have come just in time.

 American Greatness   

"At the same time, Iran’s aggressive buildup of missile and drone forces to create an impenetrable “missile shield” around its advancing nuclear weapons program underscores how narrowly timed the U.S. action was—and how President Trump’s decision may ensure that Iran never gets a nuclear weapon." 

"The Trump administration has given many strong reasons for President Trump’s decision to launch major combat operations against Iran, Operation Epic Fury.

"The president has been clear that his primary objective is to ensure that Iran never gets a nuclear weapon. He said the military operation will give the Iranian people the opportunity to take back their country from its oppressive rulers. Ensuring that the regime’s terrorist proxies can no longer destabilize the region or the world and attack U.S. forces is another justification.

"However, based on Iran’s retaliatory missile and drone attacks over the last week against almost the entire Middle East, it is clear that destroying these weapon programs is the immediate and most urgent purpose of Operation Epic Fury before they become too powerful to overcome.

"Iran has fired about 300–500 missiles at Israel and hundreds of drones since the war started on Saturday. Some missiles had cluster munitions. Although almost all were shot down, some missile barrages overwhelmed Israeli defenses, leading to strikes on 5–10 civilian areas. Eleven reportedly were killed, and over 1,000 were injured. Damage and casualties from drones appear to be limited.

"The number of Iranian missile and drone attacks and their accuracy against other countries in the Middle East were even more alarming. Iran reportedly fired as many as 400 ballistic missiles and 2,000 drones as of March 5 at Bahrain, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE. As many as 1,100 drones reportedly were fired at the UAE alone. Iran may also have attacked Oman with drones or missiles.

"In addition, Iran or Hezbollah, Iran’s terrorist proxy, fired drones from Lebanon at a U.K. Royal Air Force base in Cyprus. There are reports that NATO shot down a missile fired at Turkey on March 4. Yesterday, Iran fired drones at Azerbaijan.

"Most of the missiles and drones fired against Middle East countries were intercepted and caused little damage. The main targets were U.S. military facilities, embassies, and consulates. However, the large number of drones and missiles fired at the UAE also targeted hotels and landmarks, causing some fatalities.

"By March 4, Iranian missile attacks were down by 86 percent, and drone attacks were down 73 percent. Missile attacks fell because Iran is running low on missiles, and the U.S. and Israeli air forces have prioritized destroying missile launchers after they fire." . . .More...

How US Space Force stops Iran's missiles in their tracks

 NY Post  

“Together, the three layers form one of the most advanced early warning networks in the world,” he added, referring to satellites, radar, and Radomes." 

Most of Space Force’s work takes place in radar domes (Radomes) like the one shown here.

"Iranian weapons debris, blown to pieces or mechanically crippled, keeps dropping from the Middle East sky. For that, we can thank heat-seeking satellites, military-grade malware, and radar-jamming software, all made in America. New-technology laser weaponry has also been deployed against Iran as part of Operation Epic Fury, The Post has learned.

"Similarly, videos of the skies over the Israel-Lebanon border showed rockets being launched, only to explode seconds later. That has been widely, but unofficially, credited to the Israeli military’s new Iron Beam weapon, an advanced laser able to disable rockets and defend territory.

"Neither the US Navy nor the Israeli military has confirmed or denied the use of lasers in Epic Fury, which began Feb. 28. However, the Navy said at the beginning of February it had taken out four drones in a test of HELIOS." . . .

“Together, the three layers form one of the most advanced early warning networks in the world,” he added, referring to satellites, radar, and Radomes.

The fact that the US has been able to keep boots off the ground and only suffered six casualties in four days of fighting is a testament to the advanced tech being deployed, according to an ex-Space Force colonel.

“The fact that this isn’t a mass formation of troops with rifles on the ground speaks to the fact that this force is built with extreme technology and the brain power to operate it,” Bree Fram, formerly in Space Force and now running for Congress in Virginia, told The Post." . . .More...
