VA Gov. Spanberger (D) laughs, smiles, and signs the redistricting bill that will disenfranchise about 48% of Republican-leaning voters by packing them into one district. It proposes a 10-1 Democratic advantage. Great stuff, Virginia.

🇸🇦 BREAKING NEWS Saudi Arabia has formally informed Washington that it will not permit United States military aircraft to use Saudi airspace for any strikes against Iran.

Currently, there are no US aircraft carriers or carrier strike groups in the Middle East. N12 News published false information on this matter, suggesting that the aircraft carrier USS Roosevelt transited the Persian Gulf, when in reality, it is a US Navy destroyer, also named USS Roosevelt, that is transiting the Persian Gulf. The attached image shows the current positions of all US Navy carrier strike groups (as updated yesterday). Source : Israel Eternel

3000 Masked Agents Descend on Minnesota If you don't live here in Minneapolis, there's really no way for you to understand how much the situation on the ground here has spun out of control. Yes, some loony lefties are taunting ICE agents. Yes, some libtards are trying to trigger them. But that’s just the point -- professional police officers are trained to not be triggered by protesters. And here in Minneapolis, these guys seem so triggered that folks on the right and the left would prefer to see them leave. Why? Because these guys are in way over their heads, and it’s not totally their fault. They typically get 47 days of training. Did you know that? Forty-seven days, a number chosen because Donald Trump is the 47th president. I kid you not -- it's right there in the Big Beautiful Bill. So, these are not your grandmother's ICE agents. They are undereducated, badly trained (obviously), and they lack the necessary people skills for the job. Why does this matter? Well, anyone who has worked in law enforcement, as I have, knows that if you want to live to see tomorrow, you’ve got to win over the community in which you work. The community will have your back if you let them know you’re there for them. Fail to do that, and the community will look the other way when you're in trouble. Working with the community here in Minneapolis is not happening. ICE’s job description seems to be: terrify the community as proficiently as possible. They lead with violence. They cover their faces. They make ridiculous mistakes, including manhandling and arresting LEGAL CITIZENS. I’ve never seen such gross incompetence on display in all my life. No wonder they cover their faces! And let's think about this for a moment: Even after somebody finally got shot -- after an ICE officer ignored his training and stepped in front of a protester’s car – and the whole community went on high alert, ICE did nothing to lower the temperature. Instead, they brought in a thousand more weekend warriors in facemasks and told them to have at it. This, it seems to me, is all wrong. It’s almost as if there is some sort of political experiment going on here in flyover land, to see how a community of middle- to lower-class folks respond to the gestapo tactics of a police state. I want the bad guys out of my town, too. But this is making a bad situation worse. Something is very wrong here, and it’s not just liberal Minneapolis. I am no liberal; I have consistently backed law enforcement in this town for years, even after the George Floyd incident. In the pages of The Remnant newspaper, I’ve been running a column for years called "The Good Cop Files," which highlights life on the beat for good cops. The Defund Police, blue-haired nutjobs are soft terrorists, in my opinion. That said, "Obey ICE, and you’ll have nothing to fear" is not cutting it here in Minneapolis, especially not when they keep making massive tactical errors by beating/arresting the wrong people, i.e., LEGAL immigrants who are U.S. citizens. The trouble is that most of these officers are treating everyone like a criminal. They manifest little respect for the community and, as I say, they lead with violence and screaming F-bombs. One of them shot a protestor the other day and then snarled “f cking bitch” at her as she died. This is not the attitude of a good cop. In addition, everyone in these terrorized neighborhoods is aware that even the Minneapolis police do not want these undertrained guerilla fighters in their city. And these are the same Minneapolis cops who had to run for their lives when BLM lunatics burned down their cop shop (the MPD Third Precinct). So, the attitude on the street right now is this: “If even the Minneapolis cops don’t want you here, why should I comply?” See the problem? We are descending into anarchy, and somehow it all seems intentional. This is Minnesota, after all, not San Diego or Houston. The only country we border is Canada, and there aren’t a lot of Mexican gangsters coming down from the frozen tundra of Ontario. So, why here? Is this revenge politics? Because if it is, the only people getting hurt are the regular folks…. not the lunatic inside the Governor’s mansion. Here in Minneapolis, the feds with guns and badges are nearly as out of control as were the BLM rioters a few years ago. For the moment at least, Christ is out and chaos is in. Our Lady Queen of Peace, Pray for us.

I discussed the Iranian people’s fight for freedom in the face of the regime’s atrocities with @BretBaier on @FoxNews. This is the moment of truth for the world. The Iranian people need you.

Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf to Trump: Come and see how we will destroy all your positions in the region. Come and see how defenders of Iran will burn you into America’s history. Delusional Trump, do not believe the lies they tell you. Don’t believe the lies you’re told. Mashhad did not fall. Iran’s defenders are present, and Imam Reza is present.

One of the most important messages of the Iranian National Revolution: HRH Reza Pahlavi answers all questions about what's to come next, de-legitimizes Khamenei and confirms international help. Too bad most media aren't paying attention.

It is not enough to sympathize with the Iranian people in their struggle to get free from the dictatorship which is clearly killing dissidents and fighting for its very survival. It is not enough to have government leaders publicly talking about support for the Iranian people but failing to do anything real. It is also not enough to send token support but fail to take the steps necessary to replace the dictatorship. In a few weeks either the dictatorship will be gone or the Iranian people will have been defeated and suppressed and a campaign to find the ringleaders and kill them will have begun. There is no middle ground. The goal of every western leader should be to destroy the Iranian dictatorship at this moment of its vulnerability. Nothing will do more to move the Middle East toward peace, safety, and prosperity than the destruction of the Ayatollah’s dictatorship. The time to act is NOW.

I am so proud of @POTUS and @SecRubio for being in the corner of the people of Iran and their protests against oppression. The Make Iran Great Again hat that I showcased with President Trump has clearly become – in his own words now – a symbol of support for the protestors. Buy or make a MIGA hat – stand with the people of Iran who are rightly protesting against their oppression. Make Iran Great Again.

⚠️ 𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐍𝐞𝐰𝐬 ⚠️ 🇮🇷 | 1.5-1.85 million Iranians are in the streets fighting tonight… At this stage the revolution has spread to: - 512 locations - 180 cities - 31 provinces (All provinces) I urge everyone, especially those with influence to not call this “protests”. Does this look like protests to you? This is a revolution…

The Iranian-Nazi regime is using its military, Iraqi militia, and internal police force to kill and arrest unarmed civilians.the chief prosecutor has declared his intention to mass execute protestors. POTUS’s redline has been crossed. It’s time for us to act. reuters.com/world/middle-eas…

هم‌میهنان عزیزم، شما با شجاعت و ایستادگی خود، تحسین جهانیان را برانگیخته‌اید. حضور دگرباره و پرشکوه‌تان در خیابان‌های سراسر ایران در شامگاه جمعه، پاسخی دندان‌شکن به تهدیدهای رهبر خائن و جنایتکار جمهوری اسلامی بود. یقین دارم که او این تصاویر را از مخفیگاهش دیده و از وحشت لرزیده است. اکنون، با پاسخ قاطع شما به نخستین فراخوان، یقین دارم که ما با هدفمندتر کردن حضور خیابانی، و هم‌‌زمان، قطع شَریان‌های مالی، جمهوری اسلامی و دستگاه فرسوده و شکننده سرکوبش را کاملا به زانو در خواهیم آورد. در همین راستا، از کارگران و کارکنان بخش‌های کلیدی اقتصاد، به‌ویژه حمل‌ونقل، و نفت و گاز و انرژی، دعوت می‌کنم روند اعتصاب سراسری را آغاز کنند. هم‌چنین، از همه شما می‌خواهم امروز و فردا، شنبه و یکشنبه (۲۰ و ۲۱ دی‌ماه)، این بار، از ساعت ۶ بعدازظهر، با پرچم، تصاویر و نمادهای ملی به خیابان‌ها بیایید و فضاهای عمومی را از آنِ خود کنید. هدف ما دیگر، صِرفاً آمدن به خیابان نیست؛ هدف، آمادگی برای تسخیر مراکز شهرها و حفظ آن‌هاست. برای رسیدن‌ به این هدف، تا حد امکان از مسیرهای مختلف به‌سوی بخش‌های مرکزی‌تر شهرها حرکت کنید و جمعیت‌های جدا را به هم پیوند بزنید. هم‌زمان، از همین حالا برای ماندن در خیابان آماده شوید و تدارکات لازم را تهیه کنید. به جوانان گارد جاویدان ایران، و همه نیروهای مسلح و امنیتی که به پلتفرم همکاری ملی پیوسته‌اند، می‌گویم: ماشین سرکوب را بیش از پیش، کند و مختل کنید تا در روز موعود، آن را کاملا از کار بیندازیم. من نیز در تدارک بازگشت به میهن هستم تا در زمان پیروزی انقلاب ملی‌مان، کنار شما ملت بزرگ‌ ایران باشم. باور دارم که آن روز بسیار نزدیک است. پاینده ایران!

BREAKING: Apart from turning of the internet, the Islamic regime has tonight turned off the electricity in many parts of Tehran. The anti-regime protesters use the flashlights on their phones to show how many of them are out on the streets.
