<p>Apparently we don’t believe in climate change anymore.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span><span style="color: #008000;"><a style="color: #008000;" href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/economy/2026/05/22/kevin-warsh-sworn-in-as-fed-chair/90201506007/">Trump has appointed Kevin Warsh as Chairman to revitalize the Federal Reserve</a> </span>and hopefully, like Trump says, the economy will boom.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>Without inflation going up.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>Have we entered an era of prosperity?</p>
<p>The Pentagon just declassified a slew of UFO files, <span style="color: #008000;"><a style="color: #008000;" href="https://nypost.com/2026/05/22/us-news/explosive-video-of-us-fighter-jet-shooting-down-ufo-over-michigan-revealed-in-new-declassified-files/">some of which show US fighter jets blasting various unidentified aircraft out of the sky.</a></span> Biden let a Chinese weather balloon fly over sensitive locations and didn’t shoot it down until it was out to sea. There are many unanswered questions about these videos; we’ll keep you posted.</p>
<p>We wouldn’t know there was a war in Ukraine if not for the news, but people are still dying. I don’t know where this ends, but Europe has been at war for one reason or another forever.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>There’s no reason to blow up the world over Ukraine, so I hope the big powers stay out of it. Or is it too late?</p>
<p>Ilhan Omar is in trouble. Apparently these schemes were just a way to get the government to fund luxury, and Ilhan knew about the fraud, and may have participated in it. <span style="color: #008000;"><a style="color: #008000;" href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/convicted-feeding-our-future-founder-claims-ilhan-omar-knew-about-250m-covid-era-meal-fraud/ar-AA23nfAI">One woman just got a 40 year sentence and claims Omar knew what was up.</a></span> Wouldn’t you hate to be in her shoes?<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>She thought she’d make a splash, but she’s in over her head.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>Other Minnesota notables are in trouble too.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>How would you like to be Tim Walz?</p>
<p>I remember back in the day, Muslims going to Minnesota for college.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>It’s become a hotbed of fraud.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>We’ll see how this turns out, but it won’t be pretty.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>Why did they choose Minnesota?<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>The weather’s not nice, and they come from the desert. Sharia law? We don’t care about it.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>But how many millions did they steal?<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>How many officials knew about it, or were benefiting from it?<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>They’ve figured out how to scam the government, and we’re just onlookers.</p>
<p>I think we can be thankful DJT is President.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>He’s dedicated to righting the wrongs that have come our way.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span></p>
<p>Pentecost is coming up this Sunday, so prepare. <span class="Apple-converted-space">                                     </span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Greetings from Tyler,</p>
<p><span style="color: #008000;"><a style="color: #008000;" href="https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/bill-clinton-deposition-epstein-02-27-26">Hillary already had her turn.</a></span> Bill should have gone first because she told some whoppers and she’s now putting him on the hot-seat. I wish I didn’t have to write the update right now, because there are bound to be some bombshells.</p>
<p>There’s panic at CNN. They’re losing money hand over fist, and something has to change. All that we see is that Trump is tanking in the polls. But CNN is in trouble. <span style="color: #008000;"><a style="color: #008000;" href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/mood-horrific-inside-cnn-staffers-brace-change-amid-potential-paramount-takeover-insiders-say">There are insider reports that everybody’s scared to death of being let go.</a></span> They should have thought of that.</p>
<p><span style="color: #008000;"><a style="color: #008000;" href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/videos/president-donald-j-trumps-2026-state-of-the-union-address/">Trump’s State of the Union speech was epic.</a></span> All the mainstream are panning it, claiming he made misstatements, which is a nice way of saying he lied. We’re going to find out who lied.</p>
<p>Ilhan Omar may have to find a way to enjoy her millions in Somalia. Trump called out Somalia, saying it’s a free for all.<span style="color: #008000;"><a style="color: #008000;" href="https://news.un.org/en/story/2026/02/1167026"> They have nothing but dirt and skinny cows.</a></span></p>
<p>Everyone’s sitting light on the Epstein matter. Maybe we’ll find out who paid for his murder, maybe not. But now it’s come out that he has storage units all over the U. S., and if that’s true we’re going to find out what, and who. If we can stand it. I’m not sure I want to know the details. In fact I’m sure I don’t. <span style="color: #008000;"><a style="color: #008000;" href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/larry-summers-bill-gates-fallout-from-epstein-files-is-widening/ar-AA1X4ADS">But these guys who thought they’d be untouchable aren’t.</a></span> There’s news that Trump might be implicated, but you have to consider the source.</p>
<p>I’ve been informed that <span style="color: #008000;"><a style="color: #008000;" href="https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/afghanistan-pakistan-explainer-9.7108336">Pakistan and Afghanistan have declared war.</a></span> There’s not a dime’s worth of difference in the way they believe, so… Pardon me, but I’ve been to Israel and to say that the Arabs are unreasonable would be an understatement. I don’t know who to root for.</p>
<p>The war in Ukraine is ongoing. <span style="color: #008000;"><a style="color: #008000;" href="https://nypost.com/2026/02/27/world-news/ukraine-targets-50000-russian-casualties-a-month-as-war-enters-fifth-year/">The statistics on the killing are chilling</a></span>, and I don’t know where to go after that. Hope they figure something out. If there’s a war, I’d rather it be in the Middle East. Maybe you’ve understood that I don’t like or trust Zelensky. He was a comedian, still is. In combat garb. The idea of him standing up to Trump is one I can’t abide. Somebody better get good sense, and quick.</p>
<p>Mark</p>
<p>P. S. We’ve mailed the monthly letter, so you should get that soon. Things are moving so fast that it may be old news. I hope not. At least it’ll be accurate, which is something you can’t say about the news.</p><p>The post <a href="https://www.garnertedarmstrong.org/weekly-update-by-mark-armstrong-february-27-2026/">Weekly Update by Mark Armstrong – February 27, 2026</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.garnertedarmstrong.org">Garner Ted Armstrong Evangelistic Association</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

<p>We’ve got the largest armada ever deployed offshore Venezuela. And Maduro is dancing around like an idiot.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><span style="color: #008000;"><a style="color: #008000;" href="https://www.cnn.com/2025/12/26/politics/venezuelan-tanker-pursuit-forcible-boarding">President Trump is not playing games.</a></span><span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>Maduro better go into hiding, maybe change his appearance far away.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>But he thinks he’s going to survive this onslaught?<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>We’ve got assets offshore, and oil tankers are apparently afraid to depart. There’s going to be more on this story.</p>
<p>I’m sure you’ve seen us blowing up drug boats, semi-submersibles. Turns out they can’t hide from helicopters, and they’re getting blown up.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> W</span>here do they get these volunteers? Better learn how to swim first. On second thought, there are no swimmers.</p>

<p>Dad never liked Charles, now King of England. It seems like they’re determined to save the planet whether we like it or not. When he was young he was goofy, and things haven’t changed much.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Andrew, however, is in seclusion. How could he?</p>
<p>Christmas is over, thank goodness.

God has blessed us beyond imagination and we better thank Him.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="speakable">Senior Democratic leaders issued a unified statement Thursday, denouncing comments made by Minnesota Democrat <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/category/person/ilhan-omar" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rep. Ilhan Omar</a> when she compared U.S. and Israeli &#8220;war crimes&#8221; to actions by the Taliban and Hamas.</p>
<p class="speakable">The statement was part of an internecine war of words within the Democratic Party, with some leftist members of the caucus supporting Omar against attacks by the leadership.</p>
<p>Omar issued a statement Thursday clarifying her comments after she was met with a flood of criticism from not only Republicans on the Hill, but from members of her own party.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/squad-reps-rally-defense-ilhan-omar-after-dems-allegedly-anti-semitic-comments" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>&#8216;SQUAD&#8217; REPS RALLY TO DEFENSE OF ILHAN OMAR AFTER FELLOW DEMS LAMBASTE HER OVER ISRAEL COMMENTS</strong></a></p>
<p>&#8220;To be clear: the conversation was about accountability for specific incidents regarding those ICC (International Criminal Court) cases, not a moral comparison between Hamas and the Taliban and the U.S. and Israel,&#8221; Omar said Thursday.</p>
<p>&#8220;I was in no way equating terrorist organizations with democratic countries with well-established judicial systems,&#8221; she added.</p>
<p>In a statement led by Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and joined by five other elected House Democratic leaders, the top officials thanked Omar for her clarification but warned against making drastic comparisons.</p>
<p>&#8220;Drawing false equivalencies between democracies like the U.S. and Israel and groups that engage in terrorism like Hamas and the Taliban foments prejudice and undermines progress toward a future of peace and security for all,&#8221; the group wrote.</p>
<p>&#8220;We welcome the clarification by Congresswoman Omar that there is no moral equivalency between the U.S. and Israel and Hamas and the Taliban,&#8221; the statement concluded.</p>
<p>The immense backlash came after the congresswoman questioned Secretary of State Antony Blinken during a House Foreign Affairs Committee about ICC investigations into U.S. and Israeli actions in Afghanistan and the Palestinian territories.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/ilhan-omar-israel-america-hamas-taliban-unthinkable-atrocities" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>ILHAN OMAR SAYS AMERICA, LIKE HAMAS AND THE TALIBAN, HAS COMMITTED &#8216;UNTHINKABLE ATROCITIES&#8217;</strong></a></p>
<p>She later posted a tweet of their exchange and said, &#8220;We have seen unthinkable atrocities committed by the U.S., Hamas, Israel, Afghanistan, and the Taliban,&#8221; wrote Omar. &#8220;I asked @SecBlinken where people are supposed to go for justice.&#8221;</p>
<p><span class="css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0">We must have the same level of accountability and justice for all victims of crimes against humanity. We have seen unthinkable atrocities committed by the U.S., Hamas, Israel, Afghanistan, and the Taliban.

<p></span>See video <a href="https://twitter.com/i/status/1401985884191404041">here</a>.</p>
<p>Some left-wing Democrats lined up with Omar.</p>
<p>New York Democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez condemned the attacks from fellow Democrats, calling them a &#8220;mischaracterization&#8221; and dangerous.</p>
<p>&#8220;Pretty sick &amp; tired of the constant vilification, intentional mischaracterization, and public targeting of Rep. Ilhan Omar coming from our caucus,&#8221; <a href="https://twitter.com/AOC/status/1403023312087879681" target="_blank" rel="noopener">she said</a>.</p>

<p>&#8220;They have no concept for the danger they put her in by skipping private conversations &amp; leaping to fueling targeted news cycles around her.&#8221;</p>
<p>Fellow &#8220;squaders&#8221; Rep. Ayanna Pressley and <a href="https://twitter.com/CoriBush/status/1403016993431867392" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rep. Cori Bush</a> also threw their support behind Omar Thursday.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="sub-headline speakable">Throwing open our borders to virtually unrestricted immigration would cause a crisis.</p>
<p class="speakable">President-elect <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/category/person/joe-biden">Joe Biden</a> is already backpedaling on a dangerous campaign promise that pleased advocates of open borders, but would create a humanitarian and national security crisis on our border with Mexico.</p>
<p class="speakable">While he pledged during the election campaign to roll back <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/category/person/donald-trump">President Trump’s</a> policies that have reduced illegal immigration on his first day in office on Jan. 20, Biden said Tuesday that it would take about six months to reverse Trump’s actions enforcing immigration laws.</p>
<p>The delay is a smart move, and Biden should use the first six months of his administration to backpedal further and embrace the reality that throwing open our borders to virtually unrestricted immigration would cause a crisis that would thrust border state governors into the greatest challenge of their careers.</p>
<p><strong><a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/biden-says-it-will-take-six-months-to-reverse-trumps-immigration-policies">BIDEN NOW SAYS IT WILL TAKE ‘SIX MONTHS’ TO REVERSE TRUMP’S IMMIGRATION POLICIES</a></strong></p>
<p>But squaring his irresponsible immigration promises with reality won’t be easy for Biden, and will lead to an ugly fight with far-left Democrats.</p>
<p>Already radical &#8220;Squad&#8221; member Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., has attacked the president-elect for pulling back on his campaign promise.</p>
<p>&#8220;This is a classic bait and switch,&#8221; Omar tweeted. &#8220;It perpetuates Trump’s dehumanization of migrants and breaks a core campaign promise. Democrats lose big when administrations won’t fulfill their promise. I urge the Biden transition team to reconsider this position.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Trust me,&#8221; Biden said Tuesday. He said he was already working with authorities south of the border to end President Trump’s Migrant Protection Protocols — the &#8220;return to Mexico&#8221; policy — that was successful in quelling the human trafficking crisis on the border.</p>
<p>Biden now says he wants &#8220;guardrails&#8221; to prevent &#8220;2 million people on our border.&#8221;</p>
<p>But it’s already too late. Illegal immigration has risen, buoyed by the expectation of Biden ending Trump’s border enforcement efforts, coupled with some form of amnesty.</p>
<p>&#8220;During the presidential campaign, Biden promised to reverse President Trump’s strict immigration and border policies, which together with emergency travel restrictions because of the pandemic helped drive illegal immigration levels to historic lows after a surge last spring,&#8221; said John Daniel Davidson, a senior fellow with the Texas Public Policy Foundation. &#8220;Numbers are once again increasing as conditions deteriorate in Central America.&#8221;</p>
<p>Davidson and 23 other experts from the Heritage Foundation, government, and academia — both in the U.S. and Mexico — as well as four former members of Congress, gathered for a border crisis simulation for three days earlier this month. I designed and led the effort. The results were sobering. The team’s report can be read <a href="https://files.texaspolicy.com/uploads/2020/12/14145004/DeVore-Border-Crisis-Report.pdf?utm_campaign=Right%20on%20Immigration&amp;utm_source=hs_email&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;_hsenc=p2ANqtz--5N6xQMbPipJzgGNZb6_IfNk2ST9mEzRCBkXvqoueL-dls5E_44Zdhtpm02WL-DnSeeUvY">here</a>.</p>
<p>The simulation projected that a renewed wave of illegal immigrant caravans will be headed for the U.S.-Mexico border by January.</p>
<p>The new border crisis would be worsened by a Biden administration slow to comprehend and react to the situation’s magnitude. This sluggishness would be compounded by three things:</p>
<p>1— Biden’s own history of slow and often wrong decision-making.</p>
<p>2— Biden’s appointees being ideologically sympathetic to increased illegal immigration.</p>
<p>3— A default assumption by Biden and his team that anything the Trump administration did was wrong.</p>
<p>Our simulation forecast that the illegal immigration crisis will intensify as the Biden administration implements its policy changes in the areas of border enforcement, a renewed and expanded Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, vastly expanded access to the U.S. asylum system, and proposed immigration reform legislation.</p>
<p>These shifts in policy and accompanying public announcements will, in and of themselves, serve as magnets to would-be illegal immigrants to the U.S.</p>
<p>Illegal immigrants from Central America pay drug and human trafficking cartels as much as $10,000 for passage into the U.S. These &#8220;services&#8221; include <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2018/national/border-asylum-claims/">coaching on the keywords</a> required to trigger credible fear standards to qualify for asylum.</p>
<p>One of the Trump administration’s innovations in this regard was to process asylum claims in Mexico rather than allowing migrants across the border and then assigning them a court date with an immigration judge in the hope that they will show up.</p>
<p>As the number of would-be migrants overwhelms the border, there will be vastly different responses by the governors of the two most-populous states, California and Texas. As a result, California is likely to eventually see far greater numbers of illegal immigrants on its border than is Texas.</p>
<p>California’s Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom has a well-established record of welcoming illegal immigrants. In a <a href="https://www.gov.ca.gov/2019/04/05/newsom-blasts-pres-trump/">press release</a> last year in response to Trump’s effort to tighten border controls, Newsom said: &#8220;Since our founding, this country has been a place of refuge — a safe haven for people fleeing tyranny, oppression, and violence.&#8221;</p>
<p>Newsom then signed a bill to provide taxpayer assistance to &#8220;asylum seekers,&#8221; a term that might be broadly interpreted by advocates of open borders as covering virtually all illegal immigrants.</p>
<p>In Texas, Republican Gov. Greg Abbott has taken a different path. Abbott has shown no hesitation to deploy state assets, including the Texas National Guard, to reinforce the 1,954-mile border with Mexico while closely cooperating with the U.S. Border Patrol.</p>
<p>During our simulation, Gov. Abbott’s approach resulted in lawsuits claiming that Texas was stepping into immigration enforcement — exclusively the domain of the federal government.</p>
<p><strong><a href="https://www.foxnews.com/newsletters">CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR OPINION NEWSLETTER</a></strong></p>
<p>Imagining what might happen by June 2021, we projected that the U.S. Supreme Court would vote 6-3 in favor of Texas, ruling that &#8220;the federal government [was] openly abdicating its duty to secure the United States’ borders and enforce immigration law.&#8221;</p>
<p>We further projected that the Supreme Court would find that &#8220;Texas’ actions are an exercise of their constitutionally delegated state prerogatives, as reserved to them under Article 1, Section 10,&#8221; of the Constitution, with the state &#8220;in imminent danger …  [from] a surge of illegal aliens and goods across its borders.&#8221;</p>
<p>Under our scenario, once the Supreme Court ruled in Texas’ favor, migrants shifted west to the more welcoming California border.</p>
<p><strong><a href="https://www.foxnews.com/apps-products?pid=AppArticleLink">CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP</a></strong></p>
<p>One last portent from our border crisis simulation was the appearance of carfentanyl, an opioid 100 times as potent as fentanyl. Carfentanyl, like fentanyl, is made in China and trafficked across our border with Mexico by the drug and human trafficking cartels. Its introduction would lead to a tragic increase in drug overdose deaths, along with injuries to law enforcement officers.</p>
<p>The above nightmarish scenarios are only some of the terrible results that would be caused by destroying the effective policies put in place by the Trump administration to control illegal immigration. The Biden administration will need to carefully consider these negative consequences before embracing immigration policies that will please the far-left but harm the American people.</p>

<p><span data-contrast="auto">Local gatherings </span><span data-contrast="auto">were</span><span data-contrast="auto"> held in compliance with public health protocols in each of 102 countries, and many of these feature</span><span data-contrast="auto">d</span><span data-contrast="auto"> speeches not only from Iranian dissidents but also from political supporters representing a wide range of political parties and professional backgrounds.</span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}"> </span></p>

But they are only four out of dozens of Democrats, Republicans, and Independents who </span><span data-contrast="auto">attended NCRI’s Free Iran Global</span> <span data-contrast="auto">S</span><span data-contrast="auto">ummit</span><span data-contrast="auto">.</span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">As the Iranian regime grapples with a domestic and international crisis, the Iranian Resistance and its goal of regime change in Iran </span><span data-contrast="auto">have been receiving international support. </span><span data-contrast="auto">The crisis-ridden regime</span> <span data-contrast="auto">has been desperately pursuing a demonization campaign of the Iranian </span><span data-contrast="auto">Resistance to discredit its viable alternative. </span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">The regime’s commitment to this disinformation scheme, as well as its various attacks and attempted attacks on NCRI assets throughout the world, </span><span data-contrast="auto">confirms that</span><span data-contrast="auto"> the Resistance poses an existential threat to Iran’s theocratic dictatorship. In a tweet confirming his participation in Friday’s summit, Rudy Giuliani highlighted this perception by saying, “</span><span data-contrast="auto">There are real possibilities for a free and non-nuclear Iran.”</span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">The prospect of freedom for the Iranian people should be a prominent motivator for all politicians and all governments that truly value democracy and human rights. But </span><span data-contrast="auto">of course,</span><span data-contrast="auto"> concerns over Iran’s potential nuclear capability have dominated headlines to a much greater extent in recent years. This is especially true in light of last month’s statement by the International Atomic Energy Agency’s Board of Governors, which demanded that Iran return to full compliance with restrictions imposed on its nuclear activities in 2016.</span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">The future of the underlying nuclear agreement, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, is very much up in the air. But ever since it was signed, the <a href="https://www.ncr-iran.org/en/our-resistance" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">NCRI</a> has maintained the position that no such agreement could be expected to truly prevent the mullahs’ regime from continuing its pursuit of a nuclear bomb. The past several year’s summer gatherings have made it clear that the solution to this problem, like the solution to most of Iran’s domestic problems, can only be found in the wake of regime change.</span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">However, the western governments have prioritized their short-time economic interests over </span><span data-contrast="auto">once and for all end the Iranian regime’s threats by recognizing the Iranian people’s right to resistance and overthrow</span><span data-contrast="auto"> of this regime</span><span data-contrast="auto">. </span><span data-contrast="auto">The Free Iran Global Summit on Friday confirmed that</span><span data-contrast="auto"> the regime has only </span><span data-contrast="auto">grown more belligerent since the conclusion of the nuclear deal, and especially in recent months. </span><span data-contrast="auto">Its systematic and complete violations of the imposed restrictions are definitive proof of its unshakeable commitment to the nuclear project.</span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">If “maximum pressure” over this issue was not enough to force reconsideration, the additional challenges of the coronavirus pandemic should have been. But even now that the outbreak has reportedly claimed<a href="https://www.ncr-iran.org/en/ncri-statements/iran-coronavirus-virus-death-toll-in-346-cities-exceeds-72700/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"> over 70,000</a> Iranian lives, Tehran remains unwilling to redirect money away from confrontational projects and toward the vital needs of the domestic population</span><span data-contrast="auto">. In other words, the regime </span><span data-contrast="auto">prioritizes</span><span data-contrast="auto"> its illicit activities over the Iranian people’s lives. </span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">The </span><span data-contrast="auto">western governments should end the appeasement policy </span><span data-contrast="auto">to end the </span><span data-contrast="auto">Iranian regime’s ongoing malign </span><span data-contrast="auto">activities.</span><span data-contrast="auto"> Meanwhile</span><span data-contrast="auto">, the Iranian Resistance has </span><span data-contrast="auto">been insisting on a non-nuclear and a secular government in Iran. </span><span data-contrast="auto">In 2018, </span><span data-contrast="auto"><a href="https://www.ncr-iran.org/en/our-resistance" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">NCRI</a> </span><span data-contrast="auto">President</span><span data-contrast="auto">-elect, Mrs.</span><span data-contrast="auto"><a href="https://www.ncr-iran.org/en/news/maryam-rajavi/14237-maryam-rajavi" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"> Maryam Rajavi</a> told lawmakers in Washington, “We want a non-nuclear Iran, free of weapons of mass destruction.” And in fact, this is one item on </span><span data-contrast="auto">Mrs. Rajavi’s</span><span data-contrast="auto"> longstanding “10-point plan” for Iran’s future in the wake of the mullahs’</span><span data-contrast="auto"> overthrow.</span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">The rest of that plan includes all of the principles, such as free elections and separation of religion from the state, that make up the unifying character of modern democracies. Americans and Europeans should have no difficulty supporting such a cause, especially if its advocates are genuinely capable of leading the ouster of the current establishment and erecting a new government in its place. The Free Iran Global Summit demonstrate</span><span data-contrast="auto">d</span><span data-contrast="auto"> that capability, in part by highlighting the protests that have challenged the clerical regime in the name of the democratic Resistance.</span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">Since the end of 2017, Iran has undergone three nationwide uprisings. As a result, leading Iranian</span><span data-contrast="auto"> regime’s</span><span data-contrast="auto"> officials have begun speaking out over the threat posed by the </span><a href="https://english.mojahedin.org/i/primer-the-history-the-peoples-mojahedin-organization-iran" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><span data-contrast="auto">People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK)</span></a><span data-contrast="auto">, whose social influence they had simply denied for the preceding 30 years. If </span><span data-contrast="auto">the Iranian people’s right to resistance be</span><span data-contrast="auto"> recognized by Western policymakers, those officials’ statements could lead to the next great leap forward in international awareness of the “real possibilities” for an Iranian government that not only eschews weapons of mass destruction but also affords its own people the freedoms they have been denied throughout the nation’s modern history.</span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">Too many past opportunities were squandered amidst the </span><span data-contrast="auto">appeasement policy toward the Iranian regime</span><span data-contrast="auto">. </span><span data-contrast="auto">The Iranian regime is riddled with crisis, the Iranian people have shown their willingness to overthrow this regime. The Free Iran Global Summit showed there is a </span><span data-contrast="auto">viable alternative to the Iranian regime. </span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">Now is the time to ramp up that pressure</span><span data-contrast="auto"> on the regime</span><span data-contrast="auto"> even further. And there is no better first step toward maximum pressure than formal recognition of the Iranian people’s right to fight back against the tyranny of the mullahs’ regime. </span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}"><br />

A Palestinian protester throws stones at Israeli soldiers during a protest in the West Bank city of Hebron.</p>
<hr />
<p>As Israelis increasingly write off the chances of a peace deal with Palestinian Arabs any time in the foreseeable future, the US Democratic Party is increasingly in thrall to a fantasy “solution” that would destroy the Jewish state.</p>
<p>Top Democratic Mideast-policy people like Obama-era National Security Council officials Ben Rhodes and Robert Malley — the folks likely to set the agenda for a Joe Biden administration — actually praised writer Peter Beinart’s outrageous call last week to strip Israel of its status as a Jewish nation in order to (theoretically, at least) make it a “home” for Palestinians and Jews alike, as <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/07/13/democrats-turn-toward-a-solution-that-means-the-end-of-israel/">Jonathan Tobin noted</a> in these pages.</p>
<p>It’s certainly true that Palestinian leaders have turned down countless proposals for a “two-state solution,” but that hardly justifies any hope that they’d live peacefully with Israelis in a unified state — not after decades of propaganda about the inherent evil of the Jews.</p>
<p>Israelis have grown deeply skeptical (and weary) of efforts to find a viable peace deal. That’s a key reason why the Labor party has collapsed. Indeed, the fact that voters last March overwhelmingly backed coalitions headed by a security hawk, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and a centrist, Benny Gantz, shows that voters there have little hope that any genuine agreement is possible for now.</p>
<p>Yet for Jews all over, it’s hard to imagine a greater blow than what would be, in effect, the destruction of modern-day Israel, a nation set up to protect them after the Holocaust and after centuries of anti-Semitic persecution across the world.il</p>
<p>With no military force of their own under a “one-state solution,” and birth rates that would soon make Arabs the clear majority, Jews would be back to their pre-Nazi days, politically.</p>
<p>That fits fine with the dreams of a rising Democratic faction of young Israel-haters and anti-Semites, <a href="https://nypost.com/2019/08/15/us-ambassador-supports-and-respects-israeli-decision-to-ban-omar-tlaib/">like Reps. Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib</a>.</p>
<p>Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY) is also part of the group. She and a dozen fellow Dems last month <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/06/30/aoc-leads-opposition-of-israels-annexation-of-west-bank/">called for restrictions on US military aid</a> to Israel if it annexes areas of the West Bank. Folks can disagree about such plans, but restricting aid should be a bipartisan nonstarter, given the threats Israel faces and its importance as a US ally.</p>
<p>New York Democratic voters <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/07/17/progressive-jamaal-bowman-defeats-rep-eliot-engel-in-upset/">ousted staunch Israel-backer Rep. Eliot Engel</a> last month in favor of AOC-backed Jamaal Bowman, whose pro-Israel bona fides are dubious, at best.</p>
<p>Hostility toward Israel isn’t new among Democrats. At their 2012 convention, the floor booed the idea of recognizing the reality that Jerusalem is Israel’s capital. In 2016, they fought over Palestinian rights, with Sen. Bernie Sanders leading the anti-Israel charge.</p>
<p>But the hostility has grown, as top presidential contenders boycotted the annual American Israel Public Affairs Committee conference and threatened to use aid to pressure Israel.</p>
<p>Biden, meanwhile, was part of the team that forged an Iran nuclear deal that put Israel’s very existence at risk. If he wins in November, he’ll likely undo all President Trump’s pro-Israel steps.</p>
<p>What’s most notable, though, is that US Democrats aren’t just parting with US Republicans — but with the people of Israel.</p>

<p><em>Al Arabiya English</em>&#8216;s Abdulla Almanai reports that U.S. Congresswoman <a href="http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/258917" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Ilhan Omar</a> was recruited by a foreign government, passed sensitive information that was relayed to Iran, and received funding by a foreign government, quoting a sworn deposition by a Canadian businessman in a Florida court.</p>
<p>In video link testimony from Toronto, Canada to a Florida District Court on October 23, Kuwaiti-born Alan Bender claims to have ties with governments and royal officials across the Middle East including Qatar. He says he met Qatar’s Secretary to the Emir for Security Affairs Mohammad bin Ahmed bin Abdullah al-Masnad and two other senior Qatari officials.</p>
<p>The three allegedly claimed credit for Omar&#8217;s meteoric rise, saying: “If it wasn&#8217;t for our cash, Ilhan Omar would be just another black Somali refugee in America collecting welfare and serving tables on weekends,” according to Bender’s sworn deposition. The deposition was obtained by <em>Al Arabiya English </em>and authenticated by the attorney for the plaintiffs.</p>
<p>American and Turkish media previously reported that Omar met Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, a key supporter of the Muslim Brotherhood, when she was a junior state representative in Minnesota in 2017. According to Bender, Omar met Erdogan and allegedly swore allegiance to him.</p>
<p>Bender claims that once Omar took office, she used her position in the House of Representatives to access sensitive information which she relayed to Qatar, and through them to Iran.</p>
