Masoumeh Ebtekar - also known as "Screaming Mary" - was the spokeswoman for the Islamic terrorists who stormed the U.S. Embassy in Tehran in 1979 and held 52 Americans hostage for 444 days - subjecting them to beatings, starvation, and mock executions. In 2014, the Obama Administration granted visas to her son and his family to enter the United States. In June 2016, the Obama Administration gave them lawful permanent resident status via the Diversity Immigrant Visa Program. This week, I terminated their lawful permanent resident status and today, Seyed Eissa Hashemi, Maryam Tahmasebi, and their son are now in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement pending their removal from our country. Her family should never have been allowed to benefit from the extraordinary privilege of living in our country. America can never become home for anti-American terrorists or their families - and under the Trump Administration, it never will.

Did you know C.S. Lewis predicted the modern obsession with “being nice” would destroy the soul? In The Abolition of Man, Lewis argues that when a society stops believing in objective virtue, it doesn’t become tolerant… it becomes manipulable. He calls the result “men without chests.” People with appetites and intellects, but no courage, no honor, no trained moral instincts. They can calculate everything and defend nothing. Lewis saw that once we reject inherited moral law, we don’t become free. We become raw material… easily shaped by propaganda, pleasure, and fear. Modern man prides himself on compassion while quietly surrendering every standard that once gave compassion meaning. Lewis’s insight is brutal: a civilization that educates clever cowards will eventually be ruled by tyrants or technicians. Because when nothing is worth dying for, everything becomes negotiable… including human dignity.

@PhilMickelson @TheMasters Longer is rarely better. Ask my girlfriend.

Watching @TheMasters and seeing so few players long enough to go for 13 &15 now has taken away so much excitement and intrigue to the back nine. Another example of how longer isn’t always better.

✍️ 'The most resilient people in Britain – those of us who get up every morning and work for a living, put money aside for a rainy day, and invest in our families’ futures, often against huge adversity – are being screwed by this Government at every turn' | Writes @CamillaTominey 🔗: telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/04/1…

@ukhomeoffice Will be removed for illegal migrants full stop. You still couldn’t get it right.

Asylum handouts and accommodation will be removed for illegal migrants who abuse Britain’s generosity.

@ukhomeoffice Ha ha ha. You did this - and your welfare/benefits payments exceed your income tax receipts you fools. The U.K. is sunk. British taxpayers cannot be expected to fund the lives of scroungers, parasites, and other Labour voters. Scum - you and those who vote for you.

British taxpayers cannot be expected to fund the lives of those who exploit the system or break our laws. Asylum support and accommodation will only be available to those who play by our rules.

@GuidoFawkes If each of them was a vertebra they still wouldn’t constitute a backbone.

Joint Statement by President Macron, Prime Minister Meloni, Chancellor Merz, Prime Minister Starmer, Prime Minister Carney, Prime Minister Frederiksen, Prime Minister Jetten, Prime Minister Sanchez, President of the European Commission von der Leyen, President of the European Council Costa, Prime Minister Takaichi: We welcome the two-week ceasefire concluded between the United States and Iran today. We thank Pakistan and all partners involved for facilitating this important agreement. The goal must now be to negotiate a swift and lasting end to the war within the coming days. This can only be achieved through diplomatic means. We strongly encourage quick progress towards a substantive negotiated settlement. This will be crucial to protect the civilian population of Iran and ensure security in the region. It can avert a severe global energy crisis. We support these diplomatic efforts. To this end, we are in close contact with the United States and other partners. We call upon all sides to implement the ceasefire, including in Lebanon. Our Governments will contribute to ensuring freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz.

@ITVNewsPolitics You’ve invited in illegal migrants from all over the world and now made us a legitimate undefended wet lettuce target for military invasion from a rogue nation. What part of that is in the British national interest?

Starmer declines to say whether his relationship with Trump is in 'tatters' but insists: 'I act in the British national interest and nothing, nothing, is going to deflect me from that'

Military aged Iranian men are streaming across the Channel. Some almost certainly IRCG operatives. MI5 has already thwarted 20 attempted terrorist attacks from them. Starmer’s response, egged on by Tories is to stop a rapper coming here. A sick joke on the British people.

Reminder that Trump wrote this book in the 1987 about making unhinged negotiating demands and then "meeting in the middle" for what he wanted all along, he's been doing this consistently for 40 years, and people are STILL surprised by it and say "HE LIKES TACOS" or whatever

I’m genuinely struggling to understand this. Ye is banned from the UK for saying offensive things. Meanwhile, a former ISIS terrorist, Ahmed al-Sharaa was shaking hands with Keir Starmer and King Charles III last week. One said mean things. The other chopped heads off. This does not make sense.

You lot smuggled in tens of thousands of Afghans including literal Taliban, without vetting and took out a super injunction to hide it from the British people. You lot let almost a hundred thousand unvetted men from the likes of Iran, Syria and Iraq invade our county by small boat. You lot granted almost 4 million visas to unskilled migrants after promising to cut migration to the tens of thousands. Now you want applause for writing letters about a rapper? This is why your party is headed for extinction.

@Polymarket The same selective government that fails to call out daily violence against so many groups but jumps on every sound bite, journalistic, celeb led, mainstream media bandwagon that it thinks might detract from policy failure and that is happy to let in any Tom, Dick or Harry.

JUST IN: UK government blocks Kanye West from entering the country, citing “his presence would not be conducive to the public good.”

@DailyMail Ok that’s lovely but tackling machete wielding balaclava donning youfs is a little more difficult than asking Milo on his exeat to calm down because mummy’s insisting on sprouts with the chicken kiev tonight.

@RachelReevesMP You’re spending my money on shite.

Minimum wage rising 📈 State pension increasing 💷 Two child limit abolished 🏡 Child poverty falling 📉 Rights at work strengthened 💪🏻 Labour promised change. We are delivering change. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Every measure you list involves spending wealth. You don’t list one measure that creates wealth. And if you don’t create wealth you will soon run out of it to spend, which is already happening (hence all your extra taxes and borrowing).

@TrisOsborneMP @afneil It’s a statement comprising pure bullshit. Like everything else coming from Labour MPs.

@afneil It’s a statement of future intent.

You are aware that oil and gas together still account for 73–75% of the UK's total primary energy consumption (which covers all energy needs across electricity, heating, transport, industry and other sectors, measured in primary energy terms)? So explain to me exactly how ‘you will make it happen’ that we don’t use fossil fuels.

@ClaireCoutinho You bloody closed them.

Last year Britain lost a THIRD of its refineries. Why? A Carbon Tax on industry that Ed Miliband doubled. We won’t need any less petrol, diesel, jet fuel, ceramics or chemicals - we'll just rely more on foreign imports. We must axe the Carbon Tax and save British industry.

If Iran obtained a nuclear weapon, they would be able to carry out their campaigns of terror and mass murder behind a nuclear shield. Thanks to President Trump's swift and decisive action, Iran will never be allowed to acquire a nuclear weapon. 🇺🇸
