Wedding Strike: Emotional Pulse

"Americans may not know this, but in Iran we have a tradition where, at the end of every family gathering we say to one another:  We'll return the favor at your children's wedding."



I have been following this story:

The text of the video interview below taken from Mehr News:

The conversation of the father of a 4-year-old martyr from America's recent attack.

"Some people, in order to whitewash this attack, said that America struck an oil derrick, and this derrick was near the house, and that's how this incident happened. May God grant patience to the families of the martyrs in this era, for it is a bad time. The grief of their loved one's spilled blood on one side, the heavy weight of whitewashing by a group of dishonorable, homeland-selling traitors on the other side, alongside the killers of their children. Do you know who are even worse and more despicable than this bunch? Those who didn't even have the courage to say that America struck or to condemn it—not even with words—but with their endless malice, they try to absolve America of guilt and say that because Iran didn't surrender and responded to America, the sin of these crimes falls on Iran. If even their honor fell into American hands, these people would never be upset with America; instead, they'd say it's Iran's fault for not allowing this to happen sooner, and in the meantime, we've paid the cost of clashing with America. That's just how nice they are."

*Please take note of the ring. This denotes the authority established for the Imamate - and down stream chain of command. I still wonder who ended up with General Soleimani's ring.

Mohamed Elhassan He is powerful, made up of imperceptible layers.  He was only in his mid-teens when he first heeded the call to political action traveling to the Republic Palace of President Jafar Nimeiri seeking justice for his family. He is a well-respected Sufi.  In June,  he was awarded a Masters Degree in Islamic Studies from Hamad Bin Khalifa University (Qatar).  A recognized leader of the Kwahla tribe - with 16 million members.   Fast forward to 2010 and 2015 when he ran for President of the Sudan.  In 2015, it was my privilege to serve in a minor advisory role.  In recent years, he has given an enviable one hundred interviews with Al Jazeera Mobasha (life).   His name is Mohamed Elhassan.  I merely call him "friend". Mohamed Elhassan is president of the Sudanese Gathering Accord.  He is a man who knows his business, takes care of his business, and more importantly, takes care of his people. Less than a month ago he tra...

Charlie Kirk Marcus Aurelius "Meditations" would not exist if he had been assassinated for his thoughts at age thirty-one. I would have never read Alexander Solzhenitsyn's "Gulag Archipelago" if he had been assassinated for his political thoughts at thirty-one years of age. Winston Churchill would have never written "Hinge of Fate" (one of my favorite selections) had he been assassinated at thirty-one years of age. Ernest Hemingway was fifty-three years old when "The Old Man and the Sea" was published. Leon Uris was thirty-four years old when his novel "Exodus" was published. The average age of the delegates at the 1787 Constitutional Convention was forty-two.  Benjamin Franklin was 81 years of age at this time. The famous Persian poet Ferdowsi began writing "Shahnameh" when he was 37 years old and did not complete it until he was about seventy years of age.  This would be a tremendous loss not to have access to his though...

State of the Union:  Live Blogging Tammy and Blackfoot will begin live blogging shortly.  Grab your favorite drink and your BINGO cards and get ready to settle in for two hours of our POTUS speaking at SOTU.  We hope to keep this fun! https://opinionbytammy.blogspot.com/2026/02/state-of-union-bingo-cards.html __________________ Here we go, gang! "Gang" in the friendly family way, not in the Tren de Aragua way. President Trump and Mrs. Trump have left the White House and are on their way to the Capitol. I'm sure these past few days have been chock full of leafing through journals and diaries, and holding meetings with the inner circle for messaging strategies. Regardless of how much input his team gives him, we can always rely on our POTUS to not mince words, to lay the facts on the table and give us straight talk. Recently saw Newsom talking about Trump being an actor, and that he's a different person in different situations. Once again, Gavin is projecting his weakne...
