Don’t listen to random accounts or any account that is pushing this false narrative. This is an organic uprising by the Iranian people both out of decades of harsh repression. The Mosaad and the CIA are *not* behind this.

This image is by Australian wildlife photographer Charles Davis, and if you know anything about Australian magpies you’ll know that the menacing quality is entirely appropriate.

Folks, she brought a whole plate of spaghetti to the broadcast center to do her headshot. She then houses that spaghetti.

In 2026, we can’t take the easy path by giving in to despair. We have to keep doing something to be ready for the moment the right combination of events align and we can see a better future.

How sour sweet music is
When time is broke and no proportion kept.
So is it in the music of men’s lives.

So bravely done, so rich, that it did strive
In workmanship and value; which I wonder'd
Could be so rarely and exactly wrought’
