"As oppressive as it was" is a genuinely hilarious qualifier to throw on a sentence praising communism.

Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut... and you have to hear about this guy because it's one of the most incredible, most brazen, most dishonest examples of hypocrisy you'll ever see in American politics. Maybe ever. And there's a lot of competition, believe me. Back in 2014, Murphy is on the Senate floor, he's giving speeches, he's writing resolutions, and he's telling every Republican in Washington... don't you dare undermine these Iran negotiations. Don't do it. He said if Congress shows it doesn't take the talks seriously, it'll destroy our credibility with allies, scare off our negotiating partners, give Russia and China an excuse to walk, and leave us with nothing but a military option. His words. Not anyone else's. His words. And by the way, Trump rebuilt the military, made it the strongest, the most powerful, the most technologically advanced fighting force the world has ever seen... nobody's even close... so the military option isn't quite the disaster it would've been under the previous administration, but that's a separate story. So what happens? Trump gets back into office, and he starts serious indirect talks with Iran. April 2025. Oman-mediated. Very tough, very sophisticated negotiations. Steve Witkoff, incredible guy, working the back channels. Trump gave them a real deadline... sixty days... because he doesn't do endless process. He does deals. Zero enrichment, ship out the uranium, dismantle the key sites, open the doors to inspectors. Clear demands. Generous terms, frankly, very generous, because he didn't have to offer them anything. He could've just hit them. But Trump wanted to give diplomacy a chance because that's what a strong leader does. And what does Murphy do? The same Chris Murphy who said you must not undermine negotiations while they're happening? He goes on television. He goes to Iran International, which the Iranians are watching, and he calls Trump a liar. Says he has no idea what Trump is trying to achieve. Says most of what Trump says isn't real. He pushes war powers resolutions to tie the President's hands. He's out there broadcasting American division to the entire world... to Iran, to our allies, to everybody... while the United States is sitting at the table trying to close a deal that could've avoided all of this. All of it. And it gets worse. Murphy secretly met with Iran's foreign minister, Javad Zarif, back in 2020. Secretly. Behind everyone's back. During Trump's first term. So he'll freelance with the Mullahs, but he won't support his own country's negotiating position when it matters. Think about that. Iran watched all of this. They watched Murphy trash America's leverage in real time. They saw the division. They stalled. They rejected every core demand. Zero enrichment? No. Ship out the uranium? No. Dismantle the facilities? Absolutely not. And the talks collapsed. They collapsed because Iran believed... correctly, unfortunately... that they didn't have to make a deal because half of Washington was working against the other half. And Murphy was leading the charge. So the only card left was the military card. The very thing Murphy warned about in 2014. The very thing he said would happen if politicians undermined negotiations. He predicted the mess. Then he spent a year engineering the mess. Then the military option becomes necessary, and now he's on NPR calling the war "incoherent." Now he's calling Trump senile. Now he wants to block all Senate business and defund the operation. The man who helped make the war inevitable is now complaining about the war. Incredible. And by the way... this is the same guy they're floating for 2028. That's their big idea. A senator from Connecticut who sabotaged his own country's diplomacy, sided with Iran's talking points, and now wants to be President. Good luck with that, Chris. Good luck. You have to ask the question. At what point does undermining your own country's foreign policy in the middle of the most sensitive, most high-stakes, most consequential negotiations in decades... at what point does that stop being opposition and start being something else? Because the people of Connecticut deserve better, the people of this country deserve better, and our incredible warriors now in harm’s way... including the 13 who lost their lives because diplomacy failed... they sure as hell deserve better than Chris Murphy.

BREAKING: Former Director of the National Counterterrorism Center Joe Kent to Address “Catholic Prayer for America” Gala on March 19th, Feast of St. Joseph in Washington DC @joekent16jan19 EVENT INFO: cforc.com/prayer Joe Kent, broke the news this morning that he was resigning from his position over the Iran War. Joe a baptized Catholic and a man of deep faith had this to say on a post that now has over 50 million views in just 7 hours. "After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today. I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby. It has been an honor serving under President Donald Trump. May God bless America." This announcement comes just two days after our Holy Father, Pope Leo XIV, @Pontifex addressing those responsible for the ongoing conflict between the U.S. and Israel and Iran launched an appeal “in the name of the Christians of the Middle East and of all women and men of goodwill: Cease the fire! Let paths of dialogue be reopened!” He later said, “One might ask: Do those Christians who bear serious responsibility in armed conflicts have the humility and courage to make a serious examination of conscience and go to confession?” With all this in mind, our team made a prayerful quick decision to extend an invite to Mr. Kent to join us in prayer at our Gala. I am honored that he accepted our invitation. The core DNA of Catholics for Catholics is to back frontline warriors who are taking stands for God and Country. We are Catholics FOR Catholics! The decision to resign, heeding both the words of the Vicar of Christ, and his own conscience, make Joe Kent a patriot we are proud of.

This really is the most ridiculous piece I've read in a long time. Ladies and gentlemen, I present you Thomas Friedman of the New York Times.

The removal of Churchill from our banknotes is presented as the kind of trivial change that only racists get worked up about. It is an old trick: you take away something that people like, and then accuse them of starting a culture war when they complain. In fact, what our money looks like is far from a trivial issue. When Jesus drew the border between spiritual and temporal authority, he did so by pointing to Caesar’s face on a coin and asking the Pharisees: “Whose is this image and superscription?” There was no more resounding symbol of state power than the coinage.

Britain was early in banning slavery. But, unlike other countries, it did not stop there. It poured blood and treasure into a campaign to stamp out the foul business globally. It signed treaties with African kings, who were determined to keep the institution alive, and enforced those treaties. Even while engaged in a life-and-death struggle with Bonaparte, it diverted gunboats to hunt down the slavers. It closed down the traffic in human beings from East Africa to Arabia. Abolitionism became a popular cause, with working-class families donating to missions. Between 1808 and 1867, Britain spent 1.8 per cent of its GDP on anti-slavery operations, the most expensive moral foreign policy in human history. What recompense does it get today? What recognition? Its reward is to be targeted by every shakedown artist, Third Worldist, grifter and halfwit. It is now seriously proposed that the country that stamped out the slave trade should pay reparations to the African states that took the slaves. Truly no good deed goes unpunished. telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/03/1…

@jpodhoretz She is such a solid citizen.

Dana Loesch and I had some godforsaken Twitter tiff maybe 15 years ago and she blocked me, so I hope someone will forward to her my gratitude for her stalwart words and tough opinions over the past couple of months. In times of trouble, you learn who the good guys really are.

@shevereshtus All of a sudden I want to watch this movie.

I think it’s time to seriously consider the Tucker Carlson Documentary Hypothesis. The TCDH posits that the numerous contradictions, sometimes within days or even hours of each others, proves that we cannot be dealing with a single podcast, but are in fact dealing with multiple podcasters all broadcasting under the pseudonym Tucker Carlson. We are clearly dealing with 5 of them: J, R, Q, T, and C. “J” is Jingoistic Tucker, the paleoconservative nationalist who worries about white demographic replacement, betrayal of the historical American population, and isolationism. Clashes directly with R, Q, and C. “R” is Russian Tucker, who cares about a multipolar world, and wants to diminish American strength. As a Duginist, he’s in constant conflict with J and T. “Q” is Qatarlson, the man obsessed with the Gulf states, enjoys the salt-of-the-earth Pakistani cab drivers in the UK, and gushes about how well Arab states treat his co-religionists. Clashes with J and T in particular, but really gets along with C. “T” is Trump Tucker, the America First, fan of the President Tucker. He’s the full on cheerleader, who praises Trump, praises our allies, and wants America to succeed. He clashes with J, R, Q, and C. “C” is Conspiracy Tucker, whose world revolves around Jews, Aliens, Demons, and those out-of-the-asylum ideas. Is in starkest competition with T; this is how you end with him saying that Israeli is even greener and nicer than America one week, and that Israel ugly without anything nice the next. Though that could just be the Q influence. Qatar, not Q-Anon, which is part of C. I hope others will join me in this endeavor and will help record the phenomenon that is the TCDH for future scholars to study and learn from.
