Iran

By now the world has been taking notice. Taking notice, of all things, of a particular Washington Post obituary. Ayatollah Khamenei was not so much an evil and murderous dictator as a guy whose down time was spent cozily reading poetry and Les Miz.

MS NOW’s Chris Hayes continued his vile and disgusting opposition to the current war against Iran on Friday. It is not that Hayes is opposed to the war, but rather how he expresses his opposition. The All In host essentially declared that the U.S. is not differentiating between civilians and combatants, while former colleague Mehdi Hasan accused the crew of USS Charlotte of…

There might be no more recklessly axe-throwing Democrat partisan in the Congress than Sen. Chris Murphy. But PolitiFact gave him a "Mostly True" rating for this claim on Sunday's Face the Nation on CBS: “There is no history … that shows an air campaign alone will result in positive regime change. In fact, there's not a single example of it in the entirety of American history.”

In Wednesday’s The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell, the eponymous MS NOW host went into another deranged monologue rant on the military operations in Iran with a call for Barron and Tiffany Trump to enlist to fight in Iran. O’Donnell also decided to take the moment to claim President Trump’s mind cannot handle the plans of a war, after an avoidance of former President Biden’s mental…

There is a particular kind of intellectual dishonesty that masquerades as principle and the American left has perfected it. It goes by either “international law” or “norms.” These phrases are invoked with religious fervor whenever the United States or one of its allies takes action in the world. They are conveniently forgotten whenever the enemies of civilization act. Watch the pattern long…

CNN once again finds itself being the only American, and possibly western, news outlet to have one of its major reporters able to get behind enemy lines and embedded with a Middle Eastern country; with the expressed permission of its brutal and murderous dictatorship. If you’re having Deja vu it’s because we’ve seen this before when CNN sold their soul to operate in Iraq pre-2003. And in their…

I watched the coverage of the joint American-Israeli airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities with a profound sense of relief and long-overdue justice.  Back in January 2006, I wrote “Iran: A Ticking Nuclear Bomb” to highlight then-Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s Holocaust denial and the regime’s explicit threats to wipe Israel off the map. I pointed to the chants of “Death to America”…

On Thursday’s Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough and Mike Brzezinski’s former MSNBC colleague Chris Matthews was on the show to discuss the military operations in Iran, as Mika read Matthew’s Substack article, “State of War,” which called Trump a ‘monarch’ because of his launch of strikes on Iran. The article also dismissed the veterans commemorated at the State of the Union, and suggested…

The Trump-hostile, intervention-hating Christiane Amanpour, host of the PBS (and CNN International) show Amanpour & Co., devoted the first 20 minutes of Wednesday’s show to interviewing ranting liberal Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) about President Trump’s frightening incompetence and lack of planning before Israel and U.S. fighters took out Iran’s dictatorial leadership.

The United States is winning. Anyone telling you otherwise is either mistaken — or rooting for a different outcome. That may sound blunt. But it happens to be true. The Iranian regime’s best remaining strategy is not military. It is political. Tehran is not counting on its air defenses, which are being shredded. It is not counting on its ballistic missile program, which has been systematically…

On a recent episode of CNN’s NewsNight with Abby Phillip, more colloquially known as the “Thunderdome”, we got to see a blatant double standard in how table bookings play out. Shermichael Singleton and Ana Navarro went back and forth over the recent conduct of Secretary of War Pete Hegseth during press briefings.

During an interview on Wednesday’s Ana Cabrera Reports, the Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister confirmed key details of a Special Envoy Steve Witkoff's interview on FOX News where he stated the Iranians claimed to have enough material for eleven nuclear bombs, a statement that MS NOW rushed to report was false based on an "anonymous Gulf diplomat.”

Continuing to be the proper Republican counterpoint to the rest of the far-left table that had been missing in the show for years, guest co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck confronted co-host Sunny Hostin for her naked hypocrisy when it came to wars, during Thursday’s edition of The View. This time, she called out Hostin for decrying President Trump’s military action in Iran as “illegal”…

The New York Times sulkily refuses to give President Trump any credit for eliminating the power structure of an authoritarian, murderous Islamic regime working hard to build a nuclear weapon, one that’s bedeviled America, Israel and the Western world by supporting terror attacks for over 40 years. The latest example of the paper’s petulance ran on Wednesday’s front page, a “news…
