Top 10 Joe Biden FAILURES (Part 1)
Iranian woman whipped 74 times for refusing to wear hijab
An Iranian woman received 74 lashes for refusing to wear the hijab, defying the strict dress code even as she was taken to be whipped.
Roya Heshmati, 33, was charged with “encouraging permissiveness” after appearing unveiled on several occasions in the capital, Tehran.
“Her penalty of 74 strokes of the lash was carried out in accordance with the law and with sharia,” and “for violating public morals,” the judiciary’s Mizan Online website said late on Saturday.
Ms Heshmati was also reportedly ordered to pay a fine of 12 million rials (£225).
“The convicted … encouraged permissiveness [by appearing] disgracefully in busy public places in Tehran,” Mizan reported.
All women in Iran have been required by law to cover their neck and head since shortly after the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
Whippings for breaching the dress code are uncommon, although officials have increasingly cracked down on those defying the rules after the practice surged during anti-government protests that began in late 2022.
The mass demonstrations were triggered by the September 2022 death in custody of Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old Iranian Kurd arrested for an alleged breach of the Islamic republic’s strict dress code for women.
During the protests, female demonstrators cast off their headscarves or even burned them.
Other women also increasingly began to flout the dress code, leading to the crackdown.
Ms Heshmati was identified as being of Kurdish origins by Hengaw, a Kurdish-focused rights group.
“As the lashes struck my body, I whispered, ‘In the name of woman, in the name of life, dawn will come,’” BBC Persian quoted her as saying, adding she had refused to cover her hair even as she was transported to be flogged.
She was arrested in April “for publishing a photo on social media without wearing a headscarf”, her lawyer Maziar Tatai told the reformist Shargh daily.
Ms Heshmati was also charged with “not wearing the Muslim veil in public”, he added.
Officials have installed surveillance cameras in public places to monitor violations of the hijab law and have shut businesses that breached the rules.
Iran’s parliament has also discussed a bill that would toughen penalties for those breaching the dress code.
Hamas hostages: 100 days of immoral, depraved, captivity and still counting
BRING THEM HOME NOWWe demand the safe return of all citizens who have been taken hostage by the terrorist group Hamas. We will not rest until every hostage is released and returns home safely. You can help bring them back home.Across the US people of all backgrounds are invited to participate in demonstrations marking this horrific anniversary.
UN General Assembly condemns Israel 14 times in 2023, rest of world 7.
The blood libel accusation against Israel has now begun in The Hague. The failed nation of South Africa has brought genocide charges against Israel in the International Court of Justice.
What is the International Court of Justice? It is not international, because it excludes judges from certain countries. It is not a real court, because the judges are selected by their countries and many of them simply follow the instructions of those who appointed them. And it has never done justice, because it has long been biased against Israel. It is the United Nations court, and that tells you all you need to know about it. The United Nations has become the megaphone of bigotry and anti-Semitism. As an Israeli diplomat once put it, if Algeria introduced a resolution that the earth is flat and that Israel flattened it, it would win 120 to 27 with 32 abstentions. And you can name the countries in each of the groups before any evidence is presented.
Both the United Nations and its court are shams, especially when it comes to Israel. The facts are clear: Israel has not committed genocide nor has it violated international law as it defended itself from Hamas barbarity. It is the Hamas charter that calls for genocide against the Jews of Israel, and it is South Africa that is harboring Hamas terrorists and defending its murders and rapes. It should be Hamas that is on trial for attempted genocide and South Africa that is on trial for complicity with Hamas. Instead, the nation-state of the Jewish people is being accused of a blood libel, despite going to great lengths to avoid civilian casualties in its legitimate efforts to destroy Hamas....
SLAM = THE CULT OF DEATH
CAIR IS THE MUSLIM POLITICAL PARTY OPERATING IN AMERICA
CAIR Condemns Biden Airstrikes on Yemen Houthis: ‘Illegally’ Endangering Lives
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) issued a statement on Thursday sternly condemning President Joe Biden for approving airstrikes against the Houthi jihadist terror organization of Yemen, accusing him of “unnecessarily, illegally and dangerously risking the loss of more innocent lives.”
“We fail to understand why President Biden would rather risk a regional war by bombing Yemen instead of simply stopping the Gaza genocide that is fueling conflict across the world,” Nihad Awad, the executive director of CAIR, asserted.
United States Central Command (CENTCOM) and the British Defense Ministry confirmed the execution of dozens of strikes on Houthi targets in Yemen between Thursday and Friday, intended to neutralize the terrorist organization’s ability to disrupt international commercial shipping passing through the Red Sea.

“Today, at my direction, U.S. military forces—together with the United Kingdom and with support from Australia, Bahrain, Canada, and the Netherlands—successfully conducted strikes against a number of targets in Yemen,” Biden said in a statement following the strikes, “used by Houthi rebels to endanger freedom of navigation in one of the world’s most vital waterways”:
The Houthis, who are not the legitimate government of Yemen, declared war on Israel to support Hamas following the invasion of Israel on October 7 and has aided the Sunni jihadist group by attacking commercial vessels passing through the region. The attacks have had a chilling effect on ship traffic through the Bab el-Mandab Strait near Yemen, triggering a 90 percent drop year-on-year in ship traffic in the region between January 2023 and January 2024.

A Houthi spokesman had confirmed the group’s resolve to continue attacking ships in the region in statements published on Wednesday – while simultaneously claiming the United States was “misleading the world about dangers threatening international navigation in these seas.”
“More killing is not the solution to this crisis. Ending Netanyahu’s genocidal war on the people of Gaza and securing a just, lasting peace by ending the occupation is the solution,” Awad, the head of CAIR, the largest Muslim advocacy group in the United States, said in his statement.
“This president is unnecessarily, illegally and dangerously risking the loss of more innocent lives – including the lives of Americans – for the sake of the genocidal Israeli government, all without approval from Congress,” Awad’s statement continued:
CAIR is planning an event in Washington, DC, on Saturday in opposition to Israel’s self-defense operations against Hamas in the aftermath of the October 7 invasion. The event is scheduled to include remarks from two presidential candidates running against Biden – Jill Stein and Cornel West – in addition to other high-profile radical leftists.
The Houthis attempted to violently seize power against the legitimate government of Yemen in 2014, triggering a civil war that remains ongoing to this day, though the Houthis control most of the country. They are an Iran-backed Shiite operation whose slogan is “Allahu Akbar, Death to America, Death to Israel, Curse on the Jews, Victory to Islam.”
Yemen’s Houthi loyalists take part in an armed parade for more than 20,000 members who have finished a military course, staged to show their willingness to battle any potential attack by the recently created coalition by the U.S., on December 20, 2023, in Amran province, Yemen. Yemen’s Houthi movement leader has warned that they would attack US ships in the Middle East if Washington waged war against them (Mohammed Hamoud/Getty Images).
The Houthi terror organization, which calls itself Ansarullah, dramatically increased its ability to obtain funding in early 2021 after the inauguration of President Biden, whose administration removed them from the State Department’s list of designated Foreign Terrorist Organizations. The removal allowed for hundreds of millions of dollars in “humanitarian aid” to pour into Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen, including from the U.S. government.
Houthi leaders became involved in the conflict between Hamas and the Israeli government in the aftermath of the October 7 attacks, in which Hamas terrorists stormed Israel and engaged in door-to-door raids on random families, killing babies, gang raping and executing women, torturing victims, and desecrating their corpses. The terrorists filmed many of their atrocities to share on social media, uploading videos of the bodies of their victims to the victims’ social media accounts. Israeli officials estimated Hamas killed 1,200 people and maintain more than 120 hostages in Gaza.
CAIR and its affiliates have enthusiastically opposed Israeli operations to prevent another attack. On October 7, the United States Council of Muslim Organizations (USCMO), an umbrella organization including CAIR, published a statement condemning “the recent unprovoked and continuous attacks by Israel on Palestinian towns, cities, and refugee camps.”
“We condemn Israel’s targeted and indiscriminate killing of civilians, including innocent children, women, and the elderly, and we denounce the inhumane siege imposed on the nearly 2 million inhabitants of Gaza,” the statement read, “a clear violation of international law and an implied declaration of open war on the Palestinians which oblige them to be in constant self-defense.”
CAIR has been declared a terrorist organization by the United Arab Emirates and was named by federal prosecutors as an unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas-funding operation.
Turkey Launches Airstrikes in Iraq and Syria After Deadly Attack on Military Base
ISTANBUL (AP) – Turkey carried out airstrikes targeting Kurdish militants in neighboring Iraq and Syria on Saturday, the Turkish Defense Ministry said. This comes a day after an attack on a Turkish military base in Iraq killed nine Turkish soldiers.
Turkey often launches strikes against targets in Syria and Iraq it believes to be affiliated with the Kurdistan Workers’ Party, or PKK, a banned Kurdish separatist group that has waged insurgency against Turkey since the 1980s.
The defense ministry said aircraft struck targets in Metina, Hakurk, Gara and Qandil in north Iraq, but didn’t specify areas in Syria. It said fighter jets destroyed caves, bunkers, shelters and oil facilities “to eliminate terrorist attacks against our people and security forces … and to ensure our border security.” The statement added “many” militants were “neutralized” in the strikes.
On Friday night, attackers attempted to infiltrate a military base in northern Iraq’s semi-autonomous Kurdish region, killing five soldiers. Four others died later of critical injuries. The Turkish Defense Ministry said 15 militants were also killed.
There was no immediate comment from the PKK, the government in Baghdad or the Kurdish region’s administration.
Turkey launched Operation Claw-Lock in northern Iraq in April 2022, during which it established several bases in Duhok Governorate. Baghdad has repeatedly protested the presence of Turkish troops and called for their withdrawal.
Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan expressed his condolences for the deaths of the Turkish soldiers on social media platform X, formerly Twitter.
“We will fight to the end against the PKK terrorist organization within and outside our borders,” he wrote.
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan was to hold a security meeting in Istanbul later Saturday, Fahrettin Altun, the president’s communications director, wrote on X.
Meanwhile, Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya announced police had detained 113 people suspected of ties to the PKK following raids across 32 Turkish provinces.
He added that four people were arrested after police identified 60 social media accounts that “praised the separatist terrorist organization for provocative purposes” or had spread misleading information.
Three weeks ago, PKK-affiliated militants tried to break into a Turkish base in northern Iraq, according to Turkish officials, leaving six soldiers dead. The following day, six more Turkish soldiers were killed in clashes.
Turkey retaliated by launching strikes against sites that officials said were associated with the PKK in Iraq and Syria. Defense Minister Yasar Guler said at the time that dozens of Kurdish militants were killed in airstrikes and land assaults.
It wasn’t immediately clear if Friday night’s attack and the one three weeks earlier targeted the same base. The Rudaw news website, based in Erbil in northern Iraq, reported that the base attacked on Friday was located on Mount Zap in Amedi district, which lies 17 kilometers (10 miles) from the Turkish border.
Meanwhile, Turkey’s state-run news agency Anadolu said a senior PKK militant was “neutralized” in Iraq. Faik Aydin was targeted in an operation run by the Turkish intelligence agency, or MIT, some 160 kilometers (100 miles) inside the Turkey-Iraq frontier, Anadolu reported.
The PKK, which maintains bases in northern Iraq, is considered a terror organization by Turkey’s Western allies, including the United States. Tens of thousands of people have died since the start of the conflict in 1984.
Turkey and the U.S., however, disagree on the status of the Syrian Kurdish groups, which have been allied with Washington in the fight against the Islamic State group in Syria.

Saudis Bombed Houthis in Yemen for Years, Now Urge U.S. to Show ‘Restraint’
The government of Saudi Arabia issued a statement calling for “restraint and avoiding escalation” on Friday in response to American and British airstrikes in Yemen against the Shiite Houthi terrorists controlling that country.
“While the Kingdom stresses the importance of preserving the security and stability of the Red Sea region, in which freedom of navigation is an international demand [and of] interest of the entire world,” a statement from the Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs reads, “[Saudi Arabia] calls for restraint and avoiding escalation in light of the events the region is witnessing.”
The statement described the Saudi government as watching the developments with “great concern.”
Saudi Arabia has engaged in military action against the Houthis in Yemen for nearly a decade, since the eruption of a civil war there in 2014. Riyadh has faced years of global condemnation from human rights organizations for its operations in the country, which some activists have labeled “war crimes.”
The U.S. and U.K. armed forces confirmed dozens of strikes within Yemeni territory between Thursday and Friday on strategic targets including “radar systems, air defense systems, and storage and launch sites for one-way attack unmanned aerial systems, cruise missiles, and ballistic missiles,” according to U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM). CENTCOM published a video of the strikes, which are a response to the Houthis severely disrupting global commercial shipping by randomly attacking container vessels attempting to transit through the Red Sea.
Houthi leaders responded to the attacks by declaring they would expand their terrorist activities against London and Washington.
“Washington and London must acknowledge responsibility for aggravating the situation at the Red Sea, and the militarization of the body of water,” Brigadier General Abdullah bin Amer, a Houthi leader in the terror group’s “Moral Guidance Department,” said on Friday, according to the Iranian state propaganda outlet PressTV. “They must be ready to embrace a heavy price, and bear all the deleterious consequences of this open aggression.”
The Houthis – an Iran-backed, Shiite jihadist organization that launched a civil war against the legitimate government of Yemen in 2014 – declared war on Israel in October as a gesture of support to Hamas, a Sunni terrorist organization also bankrolled by Iran. As part of that war, Houthi leaders announced they would attack commercial shipping vessels transiting the Red Sea, vowing to target only ships with ties to Israel. In reality, however, the terrorists have attempted drone attacks on ships with no significant relationship to Israel and prompted a significant percentage of shipping to reroute away from the region, taking the much longer route around Africa’s Cape of Good Hope.
Prior to the group’s rising prominence as a disrupter of global trade, the Houthis engaged in direct bombings of Saudi Arabia in response to Riyadh’s support for the legitimate government of Yemen that the terrorists overthrew. Some of the most dramatic bombings occurred in 2022, when the Houthis escalated attacks on Saudi oil facilities. In March of that year, Houthi drone and missile strikes on the city of Jeddah caused a massive fire at an Aramco oil tank facility near the site of an F1 car race.
The Houthis “put into question our ability to supply the world with the necessary energy requirements,” Energy Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman warned that month.
“In the old days, we, along with our friends here in the UAE, worked on a collective effort to assure and ensure energy security. These pillars are no longer there,” Bin Salman said, an apparent reference to the absence of American support under Biden.
The administration of Joe Biden opposed Saudi Arabia’s involvement against the Houthis in Yemen, limiting sales of “offensive” weapons to the presumed U.S. ally and removing the Houthis from the State Department’s list of designated foreign terrorist organizations. The delisting allowed hundreds of millions of dollars to pour into Houthi-controlled Yemen.
The concessions to the Houthis – a group whose slogan is “Allahu Akbar, Death to America, Death to Israel, Curse on the Jews, Victory to Islam” – were some of Biden’s first actions as president in 2021.
Biden reportedly considered allowing offensive weapons sales to Saudi Arabia again in 2022, but ultimately took no publicly known action.
Saudi Prince Turki al-Faisal, an influential member of the royal family, said in May 2022:
Saudis consider the relationship as being strategic, but (feel) as being let down at a time when we thought that America and Saudi Arabia should be together in facing what we would consider to be a joint, not just irritant, but danger to the stability and security of the area.
“The fact that President Biden delisted the Houthis from the terrorist list has emboldened them and made them even more aggressive in their attacks on Saudi Arabia, as well as on the UAE,” he added.

Court Hears London Imam Shouted ‘Sister F*cker, Child of a Pimp’ as he Ran Over and Killed Man Lying in Road
Imam Qari Abassi claims he believed Harvinder Singh was a discarded briefcase or dustbin lying in the road when he ran over his head as he drove to mosque in London, a court has heard.
A man was killed and two men who were trying to protect him believed they had to jump out of the road “to save their lives” as a speeding motorist tried to drive to a London mosque to early lead morning prayers on the 4th of May 2021.
Court News reports the Old Bailey, the Central Criminal Court of England and Wales, was shown dashcam footage of the moment Imam Qari Abassi ran over Harvinder Singh, who was lying unconscious in the middle of the street. Per the report, the court heard audio of Abassi shouting “Sister fucker, child of a pimp, your mother’s pussy of you sister fucker Gandoo, sister fucker” as the car drove over Singh. In Urdu, gandoo or gandu is a derogatory term for a man who receives anal sex.
Two men had been trying to protect Singh and were directing traffic around him while they waited for the arrival of the emergency services. The Old Bailey heard allegations that Abassi, however, drove straight at them instead. He told the court he believed they were drunks or otherwise unfriendly. The men had told the court they had to jump aside “to save their lives” from the oncoming car.
Singh was struck in the head and chest by the car as he lay in the road and died from his injuries.
Abassi said his verbal outburst was at the two men who had jumped clear, not at the man lying in the road, who he believed was a “bin or briefcase or something”. He told the court through an Urdu interpreter that: “I was going on my way and these people are making gestures with their hands and I didn’t know. I was a bit angry about why they are doing this to me. I am just going on my way… When people ask you to stop and you don’t know those people, you don’t stop for that reason.”
Per Court News, Abassi accepted he had been driving over the speed limit but did not ultimately accept that he had done anything wrong, and denies causing death by careless driving.

Interfaith Outreach in Australia
Muslim cleric says Jews are "bloodthirsty."
[Make sure to read Robert Spencer’s contributions in Jamie Glazov’s new book: Barack Obama’s True Legacy: How He Transformed America.]
Imagine if a Jewish or Christian cleric in any Western nation preached a sermon in which he declared that Muslims were “bloodthirsty,” as well as cowardly and treacherous. The outcry would be immediate and immense. Commissions would be established to study “Islamophobia” and determine its remedies, which would inevitably involve more government control over speech. The establishment media would be filled for weeks with stories featuring Muslims claiming to have been subjected to bigotry, discrimination, harassment, unwarranted suspicion, and worse. The same rules, however, do not apply to Muslim clerics.
The Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) recently featured video of a Friday sermon at Masjid As-Sunnah Lakemba in Sydney, Australia. The mosque clearly didn’t think this sermon involved anything out of the ordinary, as they streamed it live on their Facebook page. Yet the Imam Ahmad Zoud took the opportunity to speak about the “characteristics of the Jews” in terms that could have come, aside from the references to the Qur’an and Allah, straight from National Socialist propaganda.
Zoud was discussing Israel’s defensive action against Hamas in Gaza, which has made Israel the focus of worldwide criticism for the number of civilian casualties. In reality, however, the Israelis take immense pains to avoid civilian casualties, while Hamas does everything it can to increase their number because it is aware of the value such casualties have for propaganda purposes. The number of civilians killed in Gaza is actually quite low, comparing favorably to the death toll of civilians in other recent conflicts, notably the battle of Mosul against ISIS in Iraq.
The facts, however, don’t matter to demagogues and propagandists, and so, speaking about the alleged misdeeds of the Israelis in Gaza, Zoud asked: “Who are these criminals who perpetrate these crimes? Who are the terrorists who act and behave this way? Who are these monsters from whose hearts mercy has been ripped out? My people, these are the Zionists.” He didn’t, however, stop there. Instead, he went full Goebbels: “These are the Jews. However, not all of the Jews are like that; just most of them.” Oh, well then!
Zoud continued: “The most important characteristic of the Jews is that they are bloodthirsty. They love to shed blood. From an early age, they raise their children on terrorism, violence, and killing.” This was a bit of projection here from Imam Ahmad Zoud. It is not the Jews’ scripture, but his own, that contains open-ended and universal commands to wage war against and subjugate unbelievers, and that thrice repeats “Kill them wherever you find them” (Qur’an 2:191, 4:89, cf. 9:5).
And as for terrorism, it is once again Zoud’s sacred texts, not those of the Jews, that call for it. The Qur’an states: “We will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve because they ascribe partners to Allah, for which no justification has been revealed. Their dwelling is the fire, and wretched is the dwelling place of the wrongdoers.” (3:151) And: “When your Lord inspired the angels, I am with you. So make those who believe stand firm. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Then strike the necks and strike their fingertips.” (8:12) As if those two weren’t enough, the believers themselves are commanded to terrorize the unbelievers: “Make ready for them all that you can of force and of warhorses, so that by them you may strike terror in the enemy of Allah and your enemy, and others beside them whom you do not know. Allah knows them. Whatever you spend in the way of Allah, it will be repaid to you in full, and you will not be wronged.” (Qur’an 8:60) A hadith quotes Muhammad, the prophet of Islam, saying: “I have been made victorious through terror” (Bukhari 4:52.220).
Zoud engaged in some verbal terror, continuing: “Jews remain Jews. They are not changed by the passing of time. Oh Muslims, servants of Allah, betrayal and treachery are among the characteristics of the Jews. Betrayal is one of their traits, and treachery is a characteristic deeply rooted in them. In Gaza, we’ve seen the Quranic truth [about Jews being cowardly] with our own eyes, when these cowards collapsed in the face of the attacks of the mujahideen, and ran away from them like rats.”
Australian authorities should consider how they would react to a Jewish or Christian cleric who said such things about Muslims, and respond accordingly. But as craven and cowardly as they are, they will instead do nothing.
