Senate Republicans to force vote on VoterID Act.

https://thefederalist.com/2026/03/17/senate-begins-show-debate-on-save-america-act/

Senior RINOs have dilly dallyed for long enough on an act with over 70% approval

Democrats politicians are against the Act because many People of Color can't get IDs proving they are American citizens.
They are also against ICE agents being near polling centres because illegal citizens never vote. They want the ICE agents to spend time with their loved ones after voting .

Come out with your full chest and declare your support and affinity for Asserica and her minions, no one will beat you.

That umbrella of neutrality you've been hiding under has long been perforated with numerous holes. No one here is buying that cr*p anymore.
I'm not neutral in Iran war. I want what majority of Iranians have yearned, longed and desired for 47 years.
Freedom from theocracy.

If it was North Korea running the Ayatollahs out of Iran, I would support Kim Jong Un.
The Iranian regime murdered over 30,000 protesters just this year alone .
What number of murdered protesters would have changed your mind as to the brutality of Khamenei? 60,000, 300,000 ,1000,000??

When it comes to the Russia Ukraine war, I want the globalists of the EU and Joe Biden defeated. I have been very clear on that. And I seriously want Zelensky and Putins to make concessions to end the unnecessary loss of lives.

We blocked them inside the city. Their rear is blocked.

Search for the truth. I tell you things and I always ask you to verify what I say. I told you yesterday that there was an attack and a retreat at Saddam’s airport.

They are superpower of villains. They are superpower of Al Capone.

– Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf

The fact is that as soon as they reach Baghdad gates, we will besiege them and slaughter them. Until now they have refused to do battle with us. They are just going places. One can describe them as a boa: when it feels threatened, it runs to somewhere else.

– Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf

They’re not even within 100 miles of Baghdad. They are not in any place. They hold no place in Iraq. This is an illusion… they are trying to sell to the others an illusion.

– Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf

Washington has thrown their soldiers on the fire.

Nick Shirley new one exposing California medical fraud.

@nickshirleyy
🚨 Here is the full 40 minutes of my crew and I exposing California fraud, Minnesota was big but California is even bigger... We uncovered over $170,000,000 in fraud as these fraudsters live in luxury with no consequences. Like it and share it, the fraud must STOP.

We ALL work way too hard and pay too much in taxes for this to be happening. These fraudsters have been able to defraud American taxpayers for years without any pushback from the public and politicians.

It is time to EXPOSE IT ALL and end America's fraud crisis.

If Hamas loved their women and children more than they hate Israel, there would have been zero civilian deaths.

In as much as that was wrong. What don you expect from Iran? On the very first day of the attack USA and Israel attacked a school full of kids . Please stop playing the morality card. The USA and Israel don't have any mortality when it comes to killing civilians, they are worse than Iran.

The genocide in Gaza you guys are ok with it, school kids where killed in Iran you guys were ok with it and trump even made a joke of it, the Iranian navy's who were returning from a drill and not carrying any ammunition where killed in international waters , y'all cheered it and clapped for the USA.

They set the precedent and Iran is only responding to that.
When IDF or USAF attacks a civilian outpost they launch an investigation immediately.
When Iran attacks civilians they post videos of terrified onlookers and where possible mangled bodies of the dead.
USAF and IDF usually have an army of lawyers in the theatre of operation laying down the Do's and Don'ts to the troops.

With that you can clearly see whose intention is to strike terror into their enemies.

There was no genocide in Gaza. That much I can tell you.

The same 🤡 who will scream genocide!! When civilians are hit!!
I've been posting quite a bit on the leadership of the Iranian regime. Whether you hate the west , aligning with the psychopaths of Iran should be a no go zone.
After all those 7000 plus bombings only a handful of civilians have been killed.
IDF does take great care of the civilians in Gaza , much more than in Iran . They call them, send them texts or drop leaflets even announce on radio that an armoury in a residential building is going down in a few minutes.
I will apologize for stating these Muslim armies are backward and medieval, like they lack intelligence .
The world has given them a carte blanche to target civilians .
Another low from Iran. Neanderthal savages were probably better.

Lmao na twitter o. So many intelligent people there. There's no hiding place for Israel at all o. Iran dey give them wotowoto . There was a video of an Iranian missile penetrating into a bomb shelter. The people inside it bye bye. Usrael is losing and they are losing pretty bad bro.
Really , you seem elated that Iran target was a synagogue bomb shelter
In other words Iranians mental acuities are not developed. It is no big deal when their missiles hit civilians. The west is dealing with people who skipped a stage or two during evolution. They can't be bothered to follow international law Yet when their civilians are accidentally hit Iran and it's western media propagandists are the loudest.
Iran can kill over 30,000 protesters with no serious attention from the world.
You don't see how retrogressive all this is.

We went to the stadium chanting [their] name, saying if you want to stay here, we are going to support you," Orouji said.

To be honest, before the first game, when we noticed the team is coming, a few people had connections with Home Affairs and with Tony Burke's office," Iranian-Australian Farhad Soheil told ABC News.

cc; Basilico

If you cannot see the early coordination and advance communication between these "activists" and Australian government officials, then there is nothing else to say. They even had a migration agent as a consultant grin.

All these before the girls even arrived in Australia.


Imagine the effects if they have successfully gotten a whole national team to defect. Ambitious move though. Thank God it's not Nigerians. We are not patriotic to that extent cheesy
Noted. Will do my own verification.
It's common for sports people representing their country in western nations to seek asylum. Iran is not the first country where sports people sought to defect. Totalitarian regimes will hold the families left behind as hostage for leverage.

I can't imagine Trump seeking treatment in even Saudi Arabia, not to talk of Iran.
I posted a few days ago. The current Ayatollah owns over £100 million in high end properties in London and other parts of UK. They are just hypocrites.

Another high ranking has a daughter on Green Card . He also chants Death to America every Friday.

Trump has been briefed that the new Ayatollah could be a gay person. He laughed hysterically.

A report 2 weeks ago revealed he had sought treatment 4 times in a UK hospital for infertility.

The sentence for being gay in Iran is death. Many have been hanged in public, so if this is true not propaganda, then some animals are more equal than others in Iran.

Are all Iranians happy? With bombs dropping right left and center in their space?

Let me show you what Gods will is for blood thirsty wicked world leaders, who kill or support the killing and maiming of innocent people... see Daniel 2:44.

New International Version
“In the time of those kings, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed, nor will it be left to another people. It will crush all those kingdoms and bring them to an end, but it will itself endure forever.

New Living Translation
“During the reigns of those kings, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed or conquered. It will crush all these kingdoms into nothingness, and it will stand forever.

English Standard Version
And in the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that shall never be destroyed, nor shall the kingdom be left to another people. It shall break in pieces all these kingdoms and bring them to an end, and it shall stand forever,

And please answer my question: is Tinubu and Putin doing Gods will?
They won elections?

The voice of the people is said to be the voice of the Lord.
Vox populi, vox Dei,

What the person does with the mandate received is upto him and his Lord.

Iran threatens family members of the women football team who .

https://www.iranintl.com/en/202603153468


Separately.

Capt. of Iranian Women's soccer team has withdrawn her asylum application after members of her family have gone 'missing'
#iran
Zahra Ghanbari, the 34-year-old captain of Iran's women's national soccer team, has withdrawn her asylum application in Australia and is heading back to Tehran.
The announcement was made by Iran's state run news. She is the fifth member of the team to withdraw their asylum claims after reports of family members getting arrested or going missing - at the hands of Iranian authorities.

Ghanbari wanted to to claim asylum with 6 other members of the team over fears that they would be beaten or k*lled when they got back home, for not singing the Iranian national anthem during the games.

IRNA's (state run TV) said her decision was a 'voluntary' return "to the embrace of the homeland"

Australian officials confirmed the withdrawal but didn't say anything else out of a respect for privacy.

Exiled Iranians, and human rights experts, say this is an example of how the ayatollahs use family members and threats of violence and death to force compliance.

"I know families have even been detained. I know family members are missing."

Ghanbari's decision means only two of the original seven asylum seekers are left in Australia.

The players who have returned include:

Zahra Soltan Meshkekkar, a technical staff member who reportedly relayed messages from Iranian football authorities urging the team to abandon their plans.

Mona Hamoudi, a midfielder whose family was allegedly contacted by IRGC intelligence.

Zahra Sarbali, another player who cited family safety concerns in her decision.

An unnamed backroom staffer, bringing the total returns to five including Ghanbari.


Another reason why I would never support these psychopaths Ayatollahs.

Since Iranians are happy ,that's God will. So we can say Satan is using Trump and Netanyahu to deliver God's will to Iranians.
Makes sense?

They are not doing Gods will. If they plan to do Gods will, they should follow exactly in Jesus footsteps - then they will be doing Gods will. But you already know the answer.

I am only laughing at Tucker for having misled a lot of MAGA folks and then abandoning them high and dry. But it’s ok for him..

But to let you know :

I don’t need Tuckers validation on my stance on the killings of innocent children and women.

I don’t need Tuckers support to know wrong from right.

I don’t need Tucker to tell me that war mongering is vile and fruitless.

I don’t need Tucker to tell me Trump is a pdf enabler.

I don’t need Tucker for anything. He is his own person who just got shocked at the madness he had supported all this while.

And for your info.. I don’t dis-like Isreal as a people or as a country.. it is Netanyahu that I don’t like. He is a corrupt, vile and pardon seeking war monger. I hate that man😡. He is a wicked killer of innocent women and children.

As for Trump, he is mostly vile than good. Satan himself sometimes tries to do some good, doesn’t mean he is good all together. If one is mostly vile, then they are vile.. simple and short.
A simple yes or no will do.

Iranians celebrating the death of the Ayatollahs are praising Trump calling him saviour



You think Trump and Netanyahu are doing God's will or Satan's?

Instead of this oil rich country developing detonation cords like above Ayatollah Khomeini chose to use child soldiers instead.

Iran and Obama
Iran genocidal ambitions was to annihilate Israel, what other Arab nations had failed in the previous wars. Iran ambition was to be the dominant Islamic power in the middle east .
They needed the atomic bomb but were stymied by international pressure and sanctions.
In came Obama. He negotiated a deal where they were free to get the bomb after 8-10 years and also free to develop ballistic missile delivery systems for the bomb. Getting the bomb is one thing , minitiarizing to fit on a ballistic missile is another elephant.
During the jpcoa negotiations the Iranian contingent was rude and intransigent , yelling at John Kerry until they had to be requested to tone down. Obama couldn't get the Senate to approve the deal ,so he rammed it through the UN General Assembly. He also let the UNGA pass a Resolution that the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem is a Muslim artifact. Muslims claim to have built it,but we all know it was the Jewish people who built it.
Obama sent $400 million cash in foreign currency coinciding with release of 5 American hostages. He later followed it with another $ 1.3 billion .
The administration said the money was Iranian's ( I'll come to that later) and was for humanitarian purposes.
Trump cancelled the jpcoa deal .While Trump was president John Kerry was spotted meeting with Iranians included Foreign Affair Minister in Europe, most likely telling them to wait for 2020 when Trump would be out.
Biden then gave access to the Iran over $6 billion. Joe Biden wasn't running the show, his whole admin was to dismantle everything Trump 1.0 and reinstate Obama policies . Conclude anything you want

As to the money. Iran had inked a deal to purchase military equipment in 1978 or so ,which were never delivered. US courts ruled that Iran owed Americans compensation over the 1982 Beirut barracks attack and a host of other lives Iran had exacted on America. So the money Obama released should have been withheld or at least transparently explained how the figure was arrived at. Red flag

Iran President said the money was theirs and could use it anyway they wanted,despite Biden officials declaring that it was only for uplifting iranian lives. Biden also eased their sanctions allowing the regime to sell their oil easily.

With that money Iran was able to fund ,equip , train and direct Hamas , Hezbollah and Houthis in the region. It allowed them to also rapidly expand their centrifuges to enrich uranium to 60% ,against an agreement of no more than 3.5%. It allowed them to test their ballistic missiles .
With the Ukraine war ,Iran invention of the suicide drone got a big buyer Russia which manufactures it under licence and has been used in Ukraine devastatingly.
Long and short Obama deliberate coddling of the Iranian regine helped the Iranians ,he must have been sipping coffee smiling wryly as Hamas and Hezbollah launched rockets and missiles to Israel. He was their chief enabler. We know he doesn't like Netanyahu refusing to meet him once while in Washington DC. His body language and attitude to netanyahu is condescending.
