In the United States, the democratic socialists and the Hamas sympathizers often march arm in arm. Abroad, news that China is exporting surface-to-air missiles to Iran reveals the extent of the alliance between Islamists and the Chinese Communist Party. The domestic red-green alliance threatens to immiserate a generation of Americans. The international variant could also do the same.
Influential Detroit pastor and radio host Horace Sheffield III enthusiastically endorsed Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed during a radio interview last week, urging listeners to make "5 and 10 phone calls" to help propel the left-wing Democrat to victory.

The Associated Press says "Public executions are not uncommon in Iran." The watchdog group Iran Human Rights counted 459 such executions between 2008 and 2025, frequently featuring large audiences, including children.

In many of these cases, the victim is publicly hanged from a construction crane, an especially slow and painful execution method."

President Trump has said between 30,000 and 52,000 of them were murdered this year by the Iranian regime, many shot in the forehead.
