From Anti-Russian McCarthyism To Pro-Russian Trumpism

Back in the 1950s, in the United States, even a whisper of sympathy for Russia or the Soviet Union was unthinkable and seen as almost traitorous. The eventual rise of McCarthyism was all about rooting out what were presumed to be “un-American activities”, i.e., anything that could be perceived as socialist or communist. A curious…

Trump And MAGA: The Conduit For A White Supremacist Agenda

Trump’s rhetoric and policies on immigration and citizenship consistently elevate white, especially European, migrants while targeting non-white communities for exclusion, removal, or diminished political power. His efforts collectively push a racial hierarchy embedded in state policy. Framed as “security,” “merit,” or “rule of law,” these measures function to narrow the American electorate and safeguard long-term…

Immigrants Are What Made America Great

Trump’s immigration policy is destroying America’s greatness Immigrants are the backbone of America’s greatness—powering its economy, enriching its culture, and advancing its global leadership. Yet under the guise of making America great again, Trump’s exclusionary, racist policies are dismantling that very foundation, stifling innovation and tarnishing the nation’s moral standing. To understand the magnitude and…

The Writing Is On The Wall: Trump is Intent on Hijacking the Midterm Election

Terrified by the likelihood of losing the Republican majority in the House and facing the prospect of impeachment, Trump is determined to steal the midterm election by any means, however menacing or unconstitutional they may be, to deprive the Democrats of their nearly assured victory. The Democrats must be fully prepared to push back against…

As the US-Iran negotiations regarding the latter`s nuclear program and the threat of attacking Iran loom high, both the Trump administration and Iran ought to consider very carefully the potentially colossal regional repercussions if they do not reach an agreement.

Many political observers, including myself, argue that Trump launched military action against Iran without a coherent strategy. There was no clear end goal, whether regime change, complete denuclearization, or regional leverage, and no defined measures of success. Equally alarming, there was no exit strategy if Iran continues to resist. What next? The scenario we now face is an expanding conflict that threatens to destabilize the entire region. Without careful planning, the US risks being mired in a prolonged conflict with devastating consequences, not just in terms of destruction but long-term instability. Without foresight, we may find ourselves locked in a spiraling, open-ended regional catastrophe. ... See MoreSee Less

curious you leave out the obvious..... just who it was that wanted this war the most, and since last May, pulled the strings, the blackmail that likely "forced" Trump to reverse strategy..... you avoiding that subject? (the one he bragged about getting DJT to do?)

What war are you watching??

You're a POS, SOB! You deserve to feel the flames of hell upon every square inch of your body. You are the spawn of Satan. If there's an afterlife — and I believe there is... I'm not the judge and jury, but I know you're not in it. The majority of the U.S. population hates fake news. Everyone knows exactly what you're doing with the theatrics of this post. I know you won't stop posting this rhetoric, because you want to spread hate and violence like a malicious cancer. There are Americans in the U.S. and everywhere around the world who don't want to listen to vile hateful rhetoric like this anymore.

The good news is that you are nobody. Nothing. Just a 90 year old, ever so fading and miserable antiWhiteist. The memories of some farts will out live your entire life's legacy. You are a old, washed up, wanna be has been. And not a has been but a wanna be has been. Because you are and never was anything. You are and always have been weak, cowardly and frail. Opinions never taken seriously. Not then and not now. When you talked nobody listened. Just a invisible sad, weak and pathetic scared little boy.

You’re not reading the room. And completely missed the plan. Talks went on for a long time to abandon their nuclear program completely and stay in power. The regime change was always an option as well. Iran went for the second option. Just because the plans are not discussed with you doesn’t mean there’s no plan.

Same as Iraq and Afghan….. #iwasthere

I’m not surprised coming from a Falafestine supporter

I would say obliterating the Ayatollah and the rest of the junior ayatollahs was pretty clear on what the plan is.

He doesn't consult with idio*s which is good. My Family is Iran is celebrating from day 1 of attack. Regime not only kil*ed 55000 but they also went to Hospitals and kil*ed injured ones and an ahole like you support it just because you don't like Trump, Iran had 200 missile Launchers, Israel destroyed 180 in 4 days, do you need more exit strategies? Of course you support Regime, Larijani and AraghChi (IraqChi) are from your country, you are from Iraq. A country which attacked Iran for 8yrs and killed 2M people of us. I hope this happens to your son.

You are a damn hypocrite🤡🫏

You are a purveyor of propaganda, fear and division. Your severe case of TDS renders you unable to make an honest report of reality.

More Marxist democrat BS propaganda void of all reality

You’re a confused self hating Jew

Getting rid of your brother the Aytollah

For Netanyahu, Israel’s unprecedented and continuing onslaught on Gaza is to show his bravado and make up for his cowardice by refusing to assume any responsibility for Hamas’ attack. To save his political skin, Netanyahu, too, wanted to resume the fighting for two reasons: first, he desperately wanted to stay in power to postpone his criminal trial over the three ongoing criminal charges against him, and second, he still clung to the illusion of eradicating Hamas, which has proven to be completely unrealistic. Prolonging the war would shield Netanyahu from facing a commission of inquiry to determine the circumstances that led to that attack and would help him postpone his corruption trial over charges of bribery, fraud, and breach of trust in three separate cases. ...

Mong Iran lấy lại công bằng cho người dân Gaza và người dân Iran

That's just at home. The wider world community might want a chat aswell.

Mutual interest in prosecutorial avoidance for Bebe and our own Orange Stain. Persia pays the price!

Trump’s strategy of threatening Iran with overwhelming military action, demanding the dismantling of its nuclear program and ballistic missile production, revealed a deep miscalculation. He underestimated the Iranian people’s deeply ingrained cultural pride and national resilience. Historically, Iran has responded to external threats with defiance rather than submission. Instead of coercing concessions, the threats fueled a rally around the flag effect, reinforcing national unity. The consequence was precisely what Trump sought to avoid: escalation into a full-blown conflict. In failing to grasp the Iranian psyche that equates survival with defiance, Trump’s hardliner approach likely accelerated the very war he sought to prevent. ... See MoreSee Less

As you show a group of people holding Persian flags. 😂

You do realize that's the flag of Iran from before the current (heavily dismantled) regime right?

The Iranian people disagree…

Ummm, yes and they dance with joy thanking him!

I was going to debunk this but it seems as if the job is already done 😂

They're waving the Iranian flag in the photo with the Golden lion. Those are the Iranians that we support. The IRGC has the same flag but with a red emblem in the center.

He’s rescuing Iran with the blessing of 85% of the Iranian people

The actual Iranian people are in support of Trump.

Might wanna learn the differences in the Persian flag and the Islamic regime flag...

Replace Iranian with Persian. Fixed it.

When the universe decides to ratio you

Picture is of demonstration against the current regime. The flags are the ones flown when the Shah was in power.

Someone didn't read the sign

Hahahaha! So the Iranian people are really upset that the Ayatollah is dead then, that’s your take?!

….thats the flag of pre revolution Iran… those people are literally flying the flag of liberal Iran which is the opposite of everything the post revolution government stands for 🤦

Is that why they're dancing in the streets?

Liberals trying to tell Iranians how they should feel and completely ignoring what they are doing to say they are doing the opposite will never not be funny af

Funniest part is that they're dancing because their opressors were killed

Dude, they're literally celebrating lmfao

Is that why they are praising him?

I don't think Trump underestimated it, I think he honored it.

Will war be declared before or after every Iranian ship is sitting on the bottom of the ocean?

I think you’re confused about who the Iranian people are. (Hint; they don’t pray 5 times a day…..willingly)

Isnt this the exact opposite of what actually happened?

Funny, their flags dont match.

Regardless of how many immigrants Trump deports and how far he will go to manipulate elections, he will still be unable to change the ultimate outcome that, in 20 years, non-white Americans will be the majority. Hispanic and Black Americans' fertility and birth rates are higher than those of non-Hispanic whites, whose fertility is below replacement. Deportations or voter manipulation cannot reverse aging white cohorts, lower white fertility, and ongoing diversity among US-born youth. So long as Trump is in power, it can be expected that this ‘battle’ for the survival of white rule in America will become ever nastier and even more violent. ... See MoreSee Less

We are now at the “It’s happening and it’s good actually!” Phase

I was told the great replacement theory was a myth. Is it not?

So the Great Replacement theory is true then?

Welp I’m pregnant with my sixth white baby so definitely not in the 1.5 category. My husband and I are hoping for 10 or more, God willing. I’m only 29 years old so I have another solid decade of healthy years to have babies with my husband. We may end up with more than 10 at the rate we’re going.

I thought this was a conspiracy theory?

Maybe the moustache man was right about you.

That last name checks lol.

oh so the great replacement?

2 and 1.9 is also below replacement btw

I heartily dislike pitting groups against one amother by trying to incite racial fear. Our families are more complicated than this either one group or the other thinking. In my own family we have Hispanic, Asian, African, Native American and White members. And, we get along and love one another.

Unsurprised to see one of (((them))) saying this as a good thing

So this just confirms the replacement theory. Edit idc I’m just simply asking does this confirm it. A critical part of the theory was it was done on purpose. But I think that that could easily be argued mass immigration was done on purpose for one reason or another. I think solving that issue would solve the answer to many questions.

So what? My grandpa is Latin American.

Yes. It is good to replace the people who built your society.... not

Lmfao read the post then looked at the name. Every single time.

tbh none of these fertility rates are replacement level

We are all going to be brown and dark eyed 1000 years from now. Personally, I don’t mind this shift.

Well then I guess we'll get nastier and more violent then 😆

Wouldn’t 1.9 also be below replacement?

It's not the color of people's skin that matters. It's about assimilation, loving the country and keeping American traditions alive. American patriots come in all colors and ethnicities.

‘Ben-Meir’ eh?

Doesnt have to be

So America will be like Central/ South America and Africa in a couple of decades? Sounds wonderful

So you're telling me I'll be a unicorn. That'll be pretty cool in a way.

As yes long nose tribe man...do tell what has been the problem since the celler act.
