Iran's Most Powerful Weapon
Posted By: Hazymac, 3/20/2026 12:02:40 PM
Three weeks into a military engagement in Iran, a war Republicans will not call a war, the American and Israeli militaries have all but wiped out Iran's capacity to make war. We have killed their leadership, the replacement leaders, and militia members on the ground. We have destroyed their missile launchers and the factories in which they made the missiles. But Iran still has one of the most powerful weapons in the world on its side, and it is ruthlessly deploying it – the American press corps.

Remembering the Shutdowns
0 replies
The international covid shutdowns were among the worst public policy disasters (or crimes) of modern times, and yet there has been no accountability. In the Telegraph, Daniel Hannan sums up the effects of the shutdowns on Britain: “Six years on, the Covid lockdowns are still ruining our lives.”
Was there truly a legal argument about whether a Scotch egg counted as a meal? Were we actually offered guidance on the correct way to have sex (avoid kissing and, if possible, keep your mask on)? And that weird ritual whereby, when restaurants reopened, we would put our masks on to walk to our table and then remove them.
Sun Tzu was a Chinese general who lived around 544–496 BC. He is traditionally regarded as the author of The Art of War, frequently quoted for his good sense concerning the initiation and prosecution of war. In these testing times, it seemed appropriate to have a skim through what he had to say and pick out some of his maxims and consider who, if anyone, has been following them in recent weeks:
All warfare is based on deception.
Hence, when able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must seem inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away,
The Week In Pictures: Gayatollah Edition

As the “endless” conflict in Iran neared third weeks old, it continued to dominate the news and, to a large extent, the memes. Reports of a gay Ayatollah prompted a great deal of meme-merriment. Of course there was other news: the Democrats’ shutdown of DHS continued, freedom for Cuba glimmered on the horizon, Chuck Norris died. Allegedly. And, finally–Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Oh wait, one more thing–reportedly there was some kind of party in Hollywood last week, but I don’t know anything about it because no one watched it.
So, as they say, without further ado:
On X, someone pointed out that, in modern England, any drawings made by children in art class might be considered blasphemous or idolatrous by Muslims: (Snip) I replied as follows:
In a related note, a white American 6-year-old was punished for blasphemy against Black Lives Matter (by saying “any life” matters).
A six-year-old white girl was punished because she wrote “Black lives mater/any life [sic]” after a lesson about Martin Luther King in March, 2021—because blacks are treated as sacred by American culture, especially in public schools. The Pacific Legal Foundation wrote in 2024 (emphases added):
B.B. was introduced to the phrase “Black Lives Matter” in her first-grade class in California,

Anno Domini 2020 changed America, and not for the better. The canonization of Saint George Floyd of Fentanyl birthed the “Summer of Love” that badly damaged the blue cities that embraced it, and did worse damage to American’s respect for the rule of law. And the multitude of hoaxes foisted on Americans by our public health establishment over Covid did probably irreversible damage to American’s faith in those public health bureaucrats in particular and science in general.
To be sure, Americans still recognize the difference between actual scientists rigorously employing the Scientific Method as opposed to political hacks and power seekers employing angry, arrogant rhetoric, but few if any

IT’S FRIDAY, MARCH 20, 2026.
March Madness is finally here—a special time when the vast majority of Americans, who don’t agree on much these days, can come together for the singular purpose of hating Duke.
In case you hadn’t noticed, Donald Trump is having an incredible run. Neocon Don is off the leash and serving up peak-era Trump quotes like it’s 2016. He rattled off a hall-of-fame response in the Oval Office on Thursday after a Japanese reporter asked him why he didn’t give U.S. allies a heads-up before bombing Iran.
“We didn’t tell anybody about it because we wanted surprise,” Trump said while sitting next to the Japanese prime minister.
It's got to be weird to be Dolores Huerta right now.
The truth came out about the Jim Jones-like cult style of her partner and co-founder of the United Farmworkers Union, Cesar Chavez, who, according to the New York Times, was a molestor of young girls, and up until then had been hailed as a kind of civil rights god.
With Chavez now being swiftly cancelled -- in record time, no less (where is Tom Wolfe when we need him?) -- now all the public holidays, street names, parks, libraries, schools, scholarships, naval ships, and biographies, have got to be changed, too. And they have to be changed to something,

Yet another member of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, General Ali Mohammad Naeini, was reportedly killed in an airstrike overnight. He's just the latest high-ranking Iranian official to be dispatched to the afterlife thanks to the U.S.-Israel airstrikes that have decimated Iran for the past three weeks. (X) Naeini was one of several Iranian leaders who were reportedly killed in the most recent airstrikes. Intelligence has played a vital role in this war, with information often leading to strikes so precise they target individual apartments in Iran. Shortly before his demise, Naeini insisted Iran was still building missiles and that the war would continue.
That last part may be true,

Star Tribune Washington reporter Sydney Kashiwagi reported in the paper’s March 17 Morning Hot Dish newsletter:
Zeroing in on Omar once again. Trump especially fixated on Omar during his announcement [of a fraud task force], elevating the unproven claim that she married her brother and committed immigration fraud and is thus “here illegally and she’s a congresswoman.” Trump urged Vance and members of the task force to look into the allegations.
Omar clapped back at Trump’s remarks. She said on X that “the most disturbing part of his unhinged comments is how comfortable he is in telling the world how stupid he and his followers are.”
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese learned a valuable lesson about pandering to Islamists during a recent visit to a mosque in Sydney, with what was supposed to be a box-checking affair quickly getting out of hand.
Following Albanese's denunciations of the Iranian regime, the left-winger must have felt the need to make amends. To do so, he showed up at a mosque to sit on the floor in his socks and parrot Muslim prayers. The Islamists in the crowd weren't as eager to accept his olive branch, though.
Multiple videos showed the moment chaos erupted. At least one person tried to rush the prime minister, with the assumed
BREAKING: Chuck Norris Dies at 86

Chuck Norris, the legendary martial artist and action star who embodied American toughness for generations, died Thursday morning at age 86. His family announced the news on Friday in a statement posted to his Instagram account.
"It is with heavy hearts that our family shares the sudden passing of our beloved Chuck Norris yesterday morning. While we would like to keep the circumstances private, please know that he was surrounded by his family and was at peace," the statement reads. "To the world, he was a martial artist, actor, and a symbol of strength. To us, he was a devoted husband, a loving father and

Americans could soon pay nearly a dollar to mail a first-class letter as the U.S. Postal Service seeks higher rates to address deepening financial losses.
Postmaster General David Steiner told a House Oversight Committee hearing that the agency wants to increase the price of a first-class stamp from the current 78 cents to between 90 cents and 95 cents.
The Postal Service posted a $9 billion loss in 2025 and faces the risk of running out of cash within 12 months if no changes are made.
“As you all know, there are only three things that any company can do to improve financial performance — sell more products, raise prices, or cut costs,”

Robert Mueller, a former FBI director who led the investigation into allegations of Russian meddling in the 2016 election, has died, multiple sources told CBS News on Saturday. He was 81. A cause of death was not shared. Mueller is survived by his wife of nearly 60 years, Ann Cabell Standish, their two daughters, and three grandchildren. His death was first reported by MS Now. Mueller served as FBI director from 2001 to 2013. In 2017, the Justice Department appointed him special counsel to investigate potential coordination between Russia and the Trump team during the 2016 presidential election. The nearly
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday indicated that the Islamic regime would not be overthrown without a "ground component" to the current conflict. (snip) "It is often said that you can't (snip) do revolutions from the air. (snip) you can do a lot of things from the air (snip) but there has to be a ground component, as well. There are many possibilities for this ground component, and I take the liberty of not sharing with you all those possibilities."

shuts 100-year old CBS News Radio: ‘It’s disgusting’ 18 replies
CBS News Radio — the century-old home of legendary journalists Walter Cronkite and Edward R. Murrow — is shutting down as network boss Bari Weiss continues to reshape the struggling news network, cutting 6% of its workforce in a Friday bloodbath that claimed 60 to 70 jobs.
Weiss and CBS News President Tom Cibrowksi said Friday that CBS Radio will shut down May 22 with all roles in the unit eliminated — a move that was driven by industry shifts and financial pressure from David Ellison, CEO of CBS parent Paramount Skydance.
The duo told employees that “a shift in radio station programming strategies, coupled with challenging economic realities,
She's trippin'. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) spent nearly $19,000 in campaign cash last year on a shrink who specializes in controversial Ketamine therapy. (snip) The expenses were marked as "leadership training and consulting." It is unclear what the sessions consisted of or who participated. Ocasio-Cortez's campaign did not respond to requests for comment. (snip) "While she describes these expenditures as 'leadership training,' Dr. Boyle has no experience in that area, unlike several Democratic consultants," Kamenar added. "This looks like yet another example of misuse of campaign contributions."
With the return of President Donald Trump to the White House, panicked liberals fearful of a Fascism that never seems to happen outside of their fervid imaginations are seeking an escape route via obtaining foreign citizenship. Also key to their escape from Orange Man Bad is getting foreign passports as chronicled on Monday in the New Yorker by Lauren Markham, "Seeking a Second Passport." The subtitle only adds to the hilarity of their inflated paranoia: "For some Americans, citizenship in a country their ancestors fled is now an insurance plan."

Time to dust off the "Mission Accomplished" banner?
~A Thought for the Day from David Blair in our comments section:
It's time to move past your reticence to have initiated the war and get behind Trump. Your fear that it might end badly is noted.
"Get behind Trump"? That might be better directed at Vance, Gabbard, Kennedy and other cabinet members whose discomfort with the strange turn of events is palpable either through their sudden absence from public life or when they're testifying to Congress and trying to walk the fine line between not getting fired now and not getting impeached by the incoming Democrat majority in January.

Democrats in the Minnesota House of Representatives blocked legislation that would make it a crime to disrupt a church service with the intent to interfere with the free exercise of religion. The vote came eight weeks after a St. Paul church was stormed by agitators. (snip) Minnesota law does not have a statute that criminalizes the disruption of a church service. (snip) During the committee meeting, Democrats repeatedly brought up Operation Metro Surge, the federal government's recent immigration enforcement effort in Minnesota. (snip) In the end, Democrats appeared to oppose Davis' legislation because their Operation Metro Surge-related bills were previously blocked.
Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon has revealed that a massive DOJ review of between 50 and 60 million voter records has uncovered hundreds of thousands of ineligible registrations, including over 300,000 DEAD people still listed as active voters and tens of thousands of non-citizens who have already cast ballots in federal elections.
As The Gateway Pundit has reported extensively, Dhillon’s team has been waging war on dirty voter rolls since President Trump took office.
Back in December 2025, we told you how an initial review of just 47.5 million records found 260,000+ dead voters and thousands of illegals registered to vote.
Blue Flight Continues Apace

The most important contemporary phenomenon for our politics and, perhaps, for the future of our country is the ongoing sorting of our citizens into red and blue states. The dynamic is pretty simple: people are leaving blue states for red states, with the single exception of those whose first priority is lavish welfare benefits, who therefore seek out blue states. This might seem like a terrible deal for the blue states, and of course it is, in the long term.
But meanwhile, things are not all bad for Democratic politicians. They are getting rid of a lot of pesky businessmen and others who tend to vote against them,
Tesla and Space X CEO Elon Musk offered on Saturday to pay the salaries of TSA employees during the shutdown. "I would like to offer to pay the salaries of TSA personnel during this funding impasse that is negatively affecting the lives of so many Americans at airports throughout the country," Musk wrote on X. By law, federal employees receive back pay after a government shutdown comes to an end. However, many TSA employees are reportedly calling out due to not receiving paychecks, resulting in long security lines.
CBS News’ latest round of cuts under editor-in-chief Bari Weiss claimed a handful of anchors and correspondents — with more top talent to come in later weeks.
Sources told The Post that some of the network’s Friday casualties include correspondent Elaine Quijano, who was also weekend morning anchor for New York; Dallas-based correspondent Omar Villafranca; Los Angeles-based correspondent Nidia Cavazos; Las Vegas-based correspondent Andres Gutierrez; national correspondent Dave Malkoff; and Karen Hua, a national reporter in Houston.
They join Washington, DC-based reporter Nick Kurtz and political reporter Hunter Woodall, who announced that they were let go on X. The DC bureau lost above five staff total,
