It is times like this that I ask myself if the Lefties can get any stupider.

Sadly, the answer is always: yes.

john galt's avatar

You are too kind, as the pure evil from the Dimms is not from stupidity, at least from those fomenting the destruction and madness that is their party. Rather, it is pure satanic evil derived from their adoption of marxist ideology and methodology. There is plenty of stupidity in the useful idiots that follow the evil cretins who lord over them, but the globalists and marxists who call the shots care not a wit for the deranged Americans, and illegal invaders who rally to their calls, but only about the absolute and eternal control to be obtained through them.

• A recent Reuters report (March 27, 2026) notes that Iranian hardliners, including figures aligned with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), have publicly intensified calls for pursuing a nuclear bomb and have questioned Iran’s long‑standing policy against nuclear weapons — arguing that if the country’s survival is threatened, Tehran may need to revise its doctrine and abandon its current stance. The report states that some within the establishment view nuclear armament as necessary if survival is at stake, and this debate is becoming more public amid current conflicts and leadership changes.

Iran hardliners ramp up calls for a nuclear bomb, sources say | Reuters https://share.google/1brgnci2tEeVqNSVw

No surprise there.

AwakeNotWoke's avatar

None whatsoever. This was completely foreseeable and there can be little doubt it was foreseen, much like the looming economic impact. Stagflation during a recession is not negative to everyone. If there's very high unemployment combined with high prices and businesses going to the wall POTUS Trump and Mr Netanyahu and their buddies who want this outcome can clean up big time.

E. Grogan's avatar

A HUGE thank you posting this info! I've been wondering when the nuclear bomb scare was going to happen. You may want to watch this video by Dr. Steve Turley explaining IRGC sleeper cells who are still here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=apMCr-VM3ek&list=PLOvlNdozlwNqNfk9yEM7ujeumsfaeVOC1&index=2

You might want to read some of the comment by Vietnam vets who talk about finding Japanese soldiers still in the jungle fighting WW2 in 1970s/80s - looks like IRGC may have the same kind of thinking and will fight to the death.

Is this a cry of alarm indicating that you’ve finally woken up to the danger of a genocidal regime, or your call to submission to Allah?

AwakeNotWoke's avatar

Neither, since I don't subscribe to either Semitic or Muslim deities or ideologies. It's just related to an observation that Khameini Snr was a relative moderate and that the fatwa against nuclear weapons acquisition that he issued may soon be overruled now that hardliners have taken control in the wake of his assassination.

The hardliners would figure that the US has been too gutless to threaten Kim Jong Un and that Israel and the US would have been too gutless to have attacked if Iran had nuclear weapons.

So now as a result of the action by Israel and the US they will aim to develop an illegal stockpile similar to Israel's illegal stockpile.

Gwennie's avatar

Huh? Surely you understand that they've been aiming to create a nukey little stockpile all along...

AwakeNotWoke's avatar

I very much doubt that. They're religous whack jobs. Unlike Americans who profess to worship Jesus or God but in reality are psychopathic killers if not covert devil worshippers they are psychopathic kilkers too but they take their religion very seriously and there is no sign that they have been prepared to violate any fatwa. It was decades after one was issued against Salman Rushdie and they still hunted him down and disfigured him. There's talk now of a new fatwa for, rather than against, nuclear weapons.

Inisfad's avatar

Khamenei Sr was not a ‘moderate’. Reuters is a UK based news outlet. And it’s the UK (City of London) that has been behind global chaos for centuries. Notice that it is the action of Lloyds of London that stopped fuel going through the Strait of Hormuz. Trump is dismantling the grip that the City of London has had on the globe. Be wary of where your news comes from.

David Collins's avatar

Israel never signed the Nuclear Disarmament Treaty. So, their nukes aren't illegal.

JohnAZ's avatar

Uh-huh. First define illegal?

AwakeNotWoke's avatar

You're correct, actually. Iran became a party to the NPT shortly after it entered into force in 1970, committing to not develop or acquire nuclear weapons and to accept international safeguards monitored by the IAEA. Isreal did not. As an NPT member, Iran agreed not to pursue nuclear weapons and to accept IAEA safeguards on its nuclear activities. Since being attacked by Israel in 2025–26, Iran’s government has discussed suspending or withdrawing from the NPT, and there have been threats or draft legislation in that direction — but as of now Tehran remains formally a party to the treaty. Israel doesn't. It's possession of WMDs violates international norms butis not strictly illegal.

JohnAZ's avatar

Agreed, you can bet there is a race on to get a bomb built before the build site is destroyed. Sometimes I do not understand DC thinking, delaying ten days? Maybe a sense of imperviousness hits folks when they drink Potomac water? Iran is up to no good, where are they going to raise hell as Trump allows with ten more days to do it. A story emerged this AM about an Iranian general threatening Americans in our parks and public lands.

AwakeNotWoke's avatar

Iran has intimated that it is planning to hit Americans in hotels as well as in parks and public lands. They are very frustrated at the absence of ground troops and are begging the US to "come closer." They see the Marines and Army as girlie men and are eager to start killing them.

They have also signalled that they may further disrupt global oil supplies by leveraging proxies to disrupt the Bab al-Mandeb strait, which could escalate the crisis from 10 to nearly 17 million barrels of oil per day. I

Yes, they can get more stupid. They still have money and as long as they have money they can continue to download their porn, take their drugs, bet on professional sports, stand in lines at Disneyland, watch the bachelorette and the ladies with the puffy lips, and obsess over their genitals and orgasms. Frankly speaking, Americans have had it too good for too long. They no longer know what it is like to struggle, to sacrifice or to go without. All of their basic survival needs are met giving them plenty of time to obsess over their genders and their political tribes.

One day the money will be gone and they will be forced to stress and worry about where their next meal is going to come from. Maybe then they will be forced to re-think their life choices.

Then again......maybe not. What the hell do I know.

Thanks for the Nullification Crisis of 1832 info, very interesting. I found some good info on Britannica encyclopedia site. That's really important info IMO and I agree 120% with what you say re: Dumbocrats. I would also add they are a deranged cult of monumental evil.

Yesterday I got three invitations to a poster making party and the ICE protest, including one from a local professor I nearly I had an affair with 50 years ago. (A few years ago I moved back to my CA home town.) I said to each, “Neville Singham sent me posters but I have other things I need to do, like pick up trash on the beach.” At which point they all said “Who’s Neville Singham?” But even if I did want to do it, the thought of seeing some broken down old hippie at the protest and wondering if I made out with him when I was a teen would stop me. Sometimes I wonder why the old Boomers I know don’t do retirement by wearing a speedo to the beach like my parents’ generation.

paul Vincent zecchino's avatar

As a boomer, many of us couldn't stand our fellow boomers during the hippie-dip era.

They were buggy, nasty, mouthy spoiled rich brats play acting at revolution.

Today? They've inherited wonderfully, grown fabulously rich but not wise. Like the Bourbons, they've forgotten nothing and learned nothing.

They're No Kings carny shill is just their way of futilely trying to relive their moronic late 60s campus commie salad daze.

They're pathetic, standing around even in our still Southern town in Florida, holding signs, gray hair flying, tie dye shirts stretched to bursting point, catheter bags discretely tucked away.

Kudos to you for picking up litter. Same here while walking the road. They can have their protests. Upon returning home, am committed to organizing my collection of lockwashers, hex screws and grommets.

Having observed the 60s, once was enough.

Sophie's avatar

This Boomer agrees wholeheartedly with you about hippies just a bit older than me. I don’t agree with any of Karl Marx’s societal or economic ideas, but he is not wrong when he says, “History repeats itself, first as tragedy, second as farce.”

JohnAZ's avatar

Hippies in the 60s, Gen Z today.

The common denominator, they are cults with government dependence at their heart. They are people that do not want to compete (and it IS competition) or have lost in the economic game. They are drop outs, continuously looking for the handout from the government that they are owed, in their mind. They vote Democrat, especially after the Dems figured out during the Obama administration just how many of the dependent people there were in the voting booth. So that is what is happening, a race to see how dependent that the Dem controlled government, still is, can make the US people be. The more “hippies” they can develop, the more majority votes will permanently in their column. That IS the real motivation to import millions of immigrants and now preserve them. Think what an opportunity 2026 and 28 is for the Left, if they get power back into the DC cesspool, they will get their illegals to be enfranchised and the ball game is over.

Same in Savannah. Mostly geezers, a few confused looking blue-hairs, sadly (for me) no Kings, but plenty of Queens, who apparently took the day off from terrorizing toddlers at drag shows.

wkenn's avatar

"Yesterday I got three invitations to a poster making party..." says a lot, also the “Who’s Neville Singham?” part. What doesn't seem to make it very far in what is supposed to pass for news is the far left radicals, (these are the real marxists) self-fund their effort to overthrow the Republic. They are very organized with slight variations among their various groups.

They likely will show up (no kings and all), however the planned events happening 03/28 come greatly from progressives, a distinct and far less radical group.

Beth Nicolaides's avatar

I'd buzz the local "No Kings" and flip 'em the bird, but that would give my ex-husband, sure to be among them, too much entertainment. He'll be taking another stand, albeit in a back brace, since slipping on the ice and fracturing L2 just after his 80th birthday.

I've considered stopping by to see if the far left shows up in any significant numbers. They appear to me as more focused on May 1st.

UncleBob9's avatar

It may not be entirely about grift. It could be dirt someone has on Thune, or Roberts, or whoever. I'll use Roberts since I think he's a despicable piece of shit politician the Bushes foisted on America. There are rumors he and/or one of the other members of the family is a poofter or a junkie. But maybe there was some other potential scandal, such as connections to criminal organizations, improper conduct as a lawyer or judge, concealment of a family member's criminal activities, paying someone to take a bar exam (which I wonder may have happened so Ketanji Brown Jackson could become a lawyer, given her patent stupidity (including not knowing what in the actual fuck what a woman is)), havinf an intern turn up dead in an official office (as happened with Joe Scarborough), or some other awful thing. Multiply this by every congressman, senator, congressional aide, judge, USSC clerk, bureaucrat, and lobbyist in DC, and then ask yourself why things are the way they are.

You may have noticed how the lovely Anna Paulina Luna got the big smackdown from 90% of her colleagues upon filing a bill to require publishing the list of congress people who availed themselves of a special congressional fund used to pay cash settlements to staff claiming they have been sexually assaulted or harassed by her colleagues. Many on the list are still there and not happy with Ms. Luna attempting to shine the spotlight on them. Thune is either a loon or highly compromised as I can see no "principle" involved in his actions or statements.

UncleBob9's avatar

You can't have principles if you rise to a position of power in DC -- or Albany, Springfield, Atlanta, Sacramento, Austin, or elsewhere.

As a Democrat friend told me 30 or so years ago, when I contemplated a political career, "Robert, politics is the dirtiest goddamn business there is. You can't be honest to get anything done, and once you get in, they own your ass. And once you do everything they want you to do, they throw you out like a piece of shit." Other friends assured me he was right, and added that you're never your own man if you're a politician. No doubt that is a reason for the hatred of Trump: he's his own man and he's not easily pushed around by the system that's compromised our government.

Cankerpuss's avatar

The fact that the vote is almost always straight down party lines, that out of the 50% of either side there isn't a handful of "representatives" or "senators" who have a unique thought or disposition indicates these sons of bitches and bitches are doing exactly what they are told. So, I ask the question, what purpose does the Congress of the United States serve? They no longer serve a purpose other than obstructing themselves, holding committee hearings, and putting money in their pockets. The US Congress, the biggest abject failure of the great American experiment. Populated by do nothing automatons. Every American should be pointing their fat fingers at the US Congress rather than the US Presidency. Congress has abdicated its authority. Congress has been a colossal failure.

If only the States could get it together and come together to re-work the US Congress. Give the Senate back to the State legislatures. Increase the size and scope of the House, make it a draft lottery rather than a money driven popularity contest election. Anything would be better than the shit show we have now. But the States themselves are so dependent upon the Federal tit that they can't think for themselves either and some states are as corrupt as the Federal leviathan. For get a convention of states.

JohnAZ's avatar

Changing the Constitution will do nothing, Cankerpuss. The real problem is the change in the integrity and intelligence of the people of the USA. How do you change a people back to an independent lot that does not expect the government to take care of them?

On Fox man on the street interviews, it is disgusting to hear people “demanding” that the government will take care of them.

Look around, our populace is becoming European or even Russian.

UncleBob9's avatar

If there was a convention of the states, it would be a fiasco. Either Democrats, Establishment Republicans, and the MAGA/independents would be unable to agree about anything, or the first two groups would take away the rights of everyone else and put it into the new Constitution.

wkenn's avatar

The current estimate is 99% are compromised in some manner. You gave a few examples, 'brownstoning' is another. it is one possible answer to the question 'why Congress never really does anything' and also one of the reasons wealth accumulation seems to flourish in the 'elected class'.

UncleBob9's avatar

My dad had a story where he was talking with a friend about this kind of thing 50 or 60 years ago. His friend turned to him, grinning, and said, "What I want to know is, where do I go to get mine?" It's amazing how few of the corrupt people in DC are ever prosecuted, except that we know there's probably a real "nuclear option" where, if you reveal the level of Democrat wrongdoing, we'll reveal all the awful things you Republucans have done. Okay, okay, we'll drop it. So then some poor bastard's life is destroyed because he or she isn't connected, while the big fish get away.

JohnAZ's avatar

This is the core of Epstein or the voting corruption, both sides are equally guilty and “wink, wink” protect each other.

Trump broke the mold, and the Left went after him. They are going to pay the price someday, but so will the other side. The loser will be the Deep State and all the rich scum that are attached to it.

James Traficant was another. He was a pain in the ass of the Democrat leadership, siding with Republicans.

So Youngstiwn's favorite son was sent to the big house.

The Weekend Protesters remind me of the No Nukes hypocrite Protesters who prepared for the Protests by warmly showering, put on their petroleum manufactured clothes, electrically blow dried their hair and hopped in their Gas Powered Cars and drove to the protest to listen to Bruce Springsteen and his band over large electric sound systems to protest against Energy.

The same Energy warriors then drove back home to watch themselves on the evening news shows on color televisions.

The blog needs to discuss, WTF is going on with the kids?

Try on, inability to get anywhere economically and two, the realization that college, the proverbial baby sitting service, is no longer a gateway to economic opportunity.

Think about college, the debt incurred with no return, kids actually having to work instead of having things handed to them. Like every other underperforming group, they want the government to take care of them. The government has no more money to do that.

IMHO, university is going to return to its elite status, allowing only the wealthy and ambitious to attend and graduate. 30% not 60%.

The Iranians, with their Persian and Shia fervor, have thought them selfs superior to everyone else, first Israel, then the Sunni gulf monarchies, the USA which represents the world to them. Look at right now, they believe that they control the world by controlling the Straits. They are not far off, as the idiotic reaction of all the world markets shows. The radical Islamists control by fear. I would bet money right now that they are rapidly hiding a bomb development effort, trying to make the world back down to a nuke. They have ten days. Trump should be finding the missing uranium and blowing it to hell, right now, along with the little that is left of Iran’s military.
