Momdani Has Already Bankrupted NYC
Timothy Birdnow
Commie Momdani has already bankrupted New York City and his wingwoman Kathy Hochum Hochul is bailing the bankrupt burroughs out with New York State taxpayer dollars - to the tune of $4 billion bucks.
Why should Syracuse or Elmira or any other place in upstate New York pay Gotham so that the Bolshevik Muslim can run grocery stores or free bus service?
And how do you bankrupt a city in so short a time?
Places like New York that use taxpayer dollars to implement leftist policies should be forced to live on their own budgets and if they can't they should face the consequences. As Margaret Thatcher pointed out, socialism is great until you run out of other people's money.
And if New York State wants to bail the wormy apple out, why should that state receive taxpayer dollars from Washington? New York made it's bed and now should have to lie in it.
Same as California. Same as Illinois. Same as Minnesota, or Michigan, or any other leftist hellhole.
Momdani rolled out his budget for the city - $127 BILLION dollars. The State of Florida's entire budget this year was $117 billion. Florida's population is 23,659,198 whereas the population of New York City is 8,584,629 So Florida is spending ten billion less to govern almost three times as many people.
If New York wants a socialist worker's paradise that is their business but they have no business crying to the rest of the country when they go broke.

More Foreign Fraud
Timothy Birdnow
Another day, another foreign fraud scheme.
Hasn't ANYONE who came here in recent years come for freedom and to build a better life for themselves rather than just steal from taxpayers?
Just a little taste:
According to Lyons, investigators have "discovered empty buildings and locked doors at addresses where hundreds of foreign students are allegedly employed." Investigators have also found hundreds of foreign students listed as working out of residential addresses.
"In many places," he continued, "multiple OPT employers claim to operate from the same address, but none actually lease the facility."
"When someone does open the door, their statements are inconsistent, or they claim no knowledge of the business," said Lyons.
The ICE director also said investigators uncovered what he referred to as "phantom employees," who he said are foreign students who obtained work authorization through OPT but never actually showed up for work at the sites they claimed to work out of.
"This is not accidental," Lyons concluded. "This is deliberate, coordinated and criminal."
fin
Foreigners appear to have been stealing everytbing that wasn't nailed down, and when it WAS nailed down they bought crowbars with taxpayer money.
How much of this do you suppose went to the DNC?

Uncle Sugar Daddy Cutting California's Trust Fund
Timothy Birdnow
Great!
CSPAN
@cspan
VP Vance announces deferment of $1.3B in Medicaid reimbursement to California in fraud crackdown: "California has not taken fraud very seriously…There are California taxpayers and American taxpayers who are being defrauded because California isn't taking its program seriously."
California keeps taxing all Americans with their insane expenditures and their corruption and expecting the Feds to compensate them when their schemes fail. California is not the navel of America (more like that dimple on the OTHER side of the body) and it does not have a right to take money from the rest of us to support its monetary drug habit.
I strongly suspect this massive fraud isn't just about enriching corrupt people but is being laundered back to the Democrats. It's the way political machines work; they find ways to force taxpayers to fund the machine. I think California, Illinois, Minnesota, New York, and a host of other Blue states have been doing this for years, funneling taxpayer dollars to sketchy organizations who turn around and launder this money back to the Democrats.
After the election of 2000 Rush Limbaugh observed the Democrats had absolute resolve never to lose a close election like that again and set about building a national machine, similar to the Daley machine in Chicago but one that spanned the whole country. Glenn Beck echoed that as well. Nobody listened at the time and the GOP let them build the machine and turn it on and the Democrats have held far more political power than they would have otherwise; the reality is they are a minority party. But they keep winning and a big part of the reason is they are extremely well funded and a big chunk of that is taxpayer money funneled through shady programs and given back to them. (Other mechanisms include gerrymandering and lawfare and huge vote fraud machines.)
The scam can only work with compliant judges and the media running cover for them. That is why they turned on Donald Trump, a man who they used to adore, when he started talking about the corruption in D.C. and how he wanted to fix the problems; they realized that he was serious and could destroy the Machine. He has yet to destroy it but he's done some serious damage to it and that more than anything is why they so hate him. This machine was supposed to lead them to eternal power and the dreamed of Great Reset. Now that dream is in tatters by and large and they will have to rebuild from the foundation.
That is why their hatred is so visceral and so blind; it's not the hatred for someone you just don't like but for someone who has wrecked your fondest dream. To them Trump is the Russian police in Fiddler on the Roof who trashes the wedding of Tevye's daughter.
Richard Nixon had believed there was a "great silent majority" out there who would save him from the attack dogs of the media and from the Democrats (who hated Nixon because of Alger Hiss, even though Hiss was indeed a Communist and they probably knew it). The GSM never materialized for Nixon, largely because Tricky Dick was wholly unlikable and was paranoid enough not to get out in front of it while Trump talks to the media daily, even while insulting them to their stupid faces. Trump had the good fortune of a Great Silent Majority finally awakening and becoming active. Talk radio, Fox News and other cable news, podcasting and blogs gave the GSM a platform and now the public knows what the Deep State is about. Trump rode a wave that didn't exist for Nixon (who was not a very conservative guy, I might add, but was a fighter like Trump). The Left and Media (the same thing) went back to the same playbook, using the plays they ran on Nixon. These didn't work with Trump, nd MAGA did not splinter like the old Tea Party or other Conservative revivals. MAGA folks realize the nation is in peril of complete collapse, or at least of being turned into something alien and evil.
Nixon came in the seventies when the hippies were still ascendant and the public was weary of the fight.
Anyway, to get back on topic, the Democrats have looted the treasury for decades now and this current Administration is wise to them. If we are to break the stranglehold of the Ruling Class it has to start at the state level.

Nixon was not a great politician, but he was a smart man who knew where too many of the bodies were buried, which is why he had to be destroyed. Hence Watergate. At least he wasn't assassinated.
I suspect he never really knew what happened to him. His one great fault was that he was totally loyal to his friends, and he expected total loyalty from those who worked for him.
As a graduate musician in college, I marched down Pennsylvania Avenue in Nixon's first Inaugural Parade -- and he's been MY president ever since. The band spent the week in DC and we had some experiences, that I won't tell you about now.

You nailed it Dana. Nixon went down because he was loyal to his underlings who were working to protect him. As you say, he's lucky he was not assassinated.
I remember watching Nixon's resignation speech on television.
It is a shame because he had so much promise but they took him out anyway and he walked into their trap.

No Kings: the CIA Raided Gabbard, Stole Files She was Going to Declassify
Timothy Birdnow
If true heads need to roll!
Yes, they likely went into the National Reconnaissance Office to prevent the release of files that could possibly directly implicate them in criminal activity. DNI Gabbard was reviewing them for release to the public.
According to the Daily Caller:
Two intelligence community officials confirmed to the Daily Caller that CIA officials took documents from the JFK and MKUltra files that were being reviewed by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard for declassification.
A CIA whistleblower testified to the Senate Homeland Security committee on Wednesday that the agency "took back 40 boxes of JFK and MKUltra files” and "illegally monitored the computer and phone usage” of Gabbard’s investigators looking into an alleged cover-up of the origins of Covid-19. Notably, MKUltra was an illegal CIA experiment program that used drugs and psychological torture to develop mind control and interrogation techniques.
end
What are they trying to hide?
The Director of National Intelligence is THEIR boss as much as the Director of the CIA is, more in fact. So they raided their own boss's office and stole information they had no right to take.
This is a very serious crime. It is also proof that the intelligence community thinks they are above the law and that they are the true rulers of this country. Frankly, they aren't wrong on those assumptions, but they are where they are not by popular demand; the public still believes we are in charge of this country. The Intel folks and the Deep State see it differently.
Katie Pavlich had this to say:

UPDATE on this and more on
@KatiePavlichNN
at 10 pm et on NewsNation. I just spoke to an Intelligence official who told me the following:
-The documents were not taken today and it was not a raid on DNI Gabbard's office
-People from the CIA took documents (related to the JFK assassination/MKUltra) from the National Reconnaissance Office *last year* in the middle of the night during the government shutdown and have not returned/is withholding them from ODNI
-Because the CIA is withholding these documents, they cannot be declassified and scanned for public release
-"The CIA doesn't think they answer to anyone."
-"I doubt [CIA Director] Ratcliffe knew about it"
-

These are Gestapo tactics, the kind of thing that happens in a Soviet or Fascist state and not a free nation. (Who are the Fascists? Seems to me Trump is the guy playing by the rules and not the Deep State; we have been living in a Fascist state since Obama, surely, and probably since Bill Clinton.)
National security is not supposed to operate on American soil and certainly not supposed to make decisions about what the American People can or cannot be told by their elected representatives. This is a kind of treason, treason against the Constitution of the United States.
Time to disband the Central Intelligence Agency and probably a host of others - including the DIA and NSA. They think they are kings, or at least oligarchs.
P.S. Conservative Treehouse rather sneeringly
dismissed this story without presenting any real evidence against it. They just called anyone who thought it might be true stupid and said John Ratcliff and Tulsi Gabbard are friends (as if the CIA Director would sign off on something so illegal himself.)
The fact is this is exactly the kind of thing the CIA would do. Even if it isn't true it doesn't change the fact that the CIA has been running it's own domestic and foreign policy for decades and is in dire need of dismantling.
One commenter on the post made a great point:

end
This story is being called a raid which is what is making some react to it as fake news, but I would characterize it as a theft of documents. And it happened some time ago.
So is it true? I suspect so but wonder why it's just coming out now. It was probably waiting so as not to tip the hand of the perpetrators so investigations could find out who did it.
Many of the commenters think it is a red herring but why? Nobody could quite elucidate what this would accomplish.
There is something there but it's anybody's guess what it is.

Mississippi Mud
Timothy Birdnow
Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves (the name absolutely reeks of RINO)
has withdrawn a call for a special session to redistrict the Congressional map, thus allowing the Democrats to keep their racially gerrymandered seat in Congress. Reeves is calling for redistricting for the 2027 state election but not before.
His bizarre reasoning is that since the Calais ruling overturned a lower court order to force Mississippi to redistrict for racial reasons it is no longer necessary to redraw boundaries right now:
"Because of that, there is no longer any reason for the Legislature to come in on next Wednesday for judicial redistricting and so I do not expect that the Legislature will come in next Wednesday because there is no reason to do so,”
Either old Tate is just a RINO or he's compromised in some way. Either way he is failing America when we need him - this election is of absolute importance.
And yet he claims he is going to work for not just the good of Mississippi but of America, and work with the Trump Administration. Huh? He won't see to it Congress remains Republican but he will claim he wants to work with Trump; he has to know that if Trump loses Congress the whole MAGA agenda goes down and so does the President, maybe. They will impeach him again and again. They will investigate him, stop his agenda, and do whatever is in their power to destroy both Trump the man and the agenda America elected him to implement.
I've long argued the Establishment Republicans want to keep Congress at a razor thin margin, making themselves indispensable and giving the "moderate" wing undue influence. They really don't want to win - just keep it close. And in fact being in the minority but close keeps campaign money flwing and lets them put up whatever loser candidates they like and Conservatives will be forced to vote for them solely because of the R after their name. It will be "too important" to go for someone who is truly conservative. It's how we got some of the real jackasses we've had in the GOP over the years (guys like John Cornyn); it was the better of two terrible options. RINO's love that!
I expect Reeves is just another RINO trying to straddle the fence.
When will we get real leaders in this country?

Trump Takes Greenland (Sort of)
Timothy Birdnow
Hmmmm....
The BBC reported early Tuesday that the Trump administration is "holding regular negotiations with Denmark to expand its military presence in Greenland," according to "the usual sources familiar with the discussions." While a far cry from Trump's opening position of making the Danes turn over Greenland and recognizing it as an American possession — the "easy way" or "the hard way," as Trump put it — the discussions reportedly include more than just a handful of new military bases.
One source told the Beeb that administration officials "floated an arrangement in which the three new military bases would be formally designated as U.S. sovereign territory."
That's the twist.
The denial of the use of air bases in places like Spain and Italy illustrated more than anything the dire need for control of at least part of Greenland. The Danes could just say no to us any time they pleased in a conflict and we'd be powerless to overrule them.
So we may get sovereignty over our military bases on the frozen island.
While this isn't a done deal yet it looks likely to go through.
Tired of winning yet?

Friends Like These!
Timothy Birdnow
With friends like these...
James O'Keefe caught this guy on tape spouting off about the President:
Benjamin Ellisten, a senior budget analyst and funding manager for the White House, told James O’Keefe’s undercover journalist that Trump is a "madman” who is "f*cking it up for everybody.” Ellisten, who has worked at the White House since 2024, has since been placed on administrative leave, a White House official told the Daily Caller.
[...]
Ellisten was caught telling O’Keefe’s reporter that Trump is a "mess,” saying they "gotta get rid of him.”
"He’s a madman,” Ellisten told the undercover journalist. "Literally. He’s invincible. Nothing can stop him, and that’s dangerous.”
While he's entitled to his own opinion as an American he is NOT entitled to trash his employer in this fashion. If I had been caught calling my boss insane I would expect to be fired.
The point is this guy isn't an outlier; there are probably a lot more like him burrowed deep inside the machine. And a guy like this will not just do his job and take action on election day - he'll no doubt try to undermine this President and his policies, the policies he was duly elected by the American People to implement.
If he had any normal sense of shame he'd resign, but people in Washington aren't normal. I imagine he'll hang in there, hoping Trump fires him so he can go on the talk circuit and bring a lawsuit.

The Plot to Destroy Trump in 2030
Timothy Birdnow
We already knew this but it's now confirmed.
From Just the News:
The FBI memos and emails closing out the controversial Arctic Frost investigation – obtained by Just the News – show the bureau chose not to relinquish the evidence it gathered after Smith went to court to dismiss charges against Trump, even though that is the normal practice for agents. Instead, they created a preservation order keeping the evidence in FBI custody for two years after Trump's second term ends, claiming it was necessary to do so because of ongoing litigation, the memos show.
FBI emails and memos obtained by Just the News dating back to early 2025 show how the FBI agents and DOJ prosecutors who had been working on the criminal prosecutions aimed at Trump and his allies worked to close the 2020 election-related case against the incoming president, while also seemingly leaving open the door for the criminal case to be revived once Trump leaves office and a Democrat again holds the reins at the Justice Department.
"The American people deserve to know how this egregious weaponization of power to target political opponents and President Trump happened inside an institution meant to protect them,” FBI Director Kash Patel told Just the News. "We shut down the weaponized CR-15 squad, and we are going to keep following the facts until there is full accountability. The FBI exists to protect the country, not to preserve political prosecutions for a future administration.”
They've been plotting to destroy Trump for many years now and are still hiding in the tall grass, waiting to pounce once he leaves office.
This is a disgraceful abuse of power by Biden and the Democrats in the Deep State.

Tennessee Speaker of the House Pulls Committee Assignments for Out of Control Democrats
Timothy Birdnow
Now they're starting to get it!
House Speaker Cameron Sexton took the actions after an embarrassing display on the floor which saw Democrats blocking the aisles, interlinking arms to keep other House members and staff from moving back and forth, using noisemakers and encouraging loud and obnoxious displays from third parties in attendance.
Sexton was having none of this and he (she?) yanked their committee assignments, taking power away from them.
Needless to say they were absolutely enraged. But it was their own fault; act like children and be treated like children.
The Democrats are getting more and more crazy and this is leading to something, I am not sure how bad that something will be but something. This fairly reeks of the Antebellum period.
This also tells us we are hovering over the target; blowing their corks is how you tell you are imperiling their power.
They have done all the things that they are now calling unamerican and anti-democratic and justified it when THEY did it. Now they are accusing us of "tyranny" when they have been the tyrants all along. Turnabout is not only fair play but a bitch.

Democrats Call for Insurrection in Virginia
Timothy Birdnow
The Democrats are simply foaming at the mouth over the Virginia supreme court ruling tossing out the gerrymandered electoral map. We now have the biggest vote thief in America - Marc Alias, er, Elias - calling for the complete overthrow of the government of the Commonwealth of Virginia:
Conversation
Marc E. Elias
@marceelias
VA Const.
"whenever any government shall be found inadequate or contrary to these purposes, a majority of the community hath an indubitable, inalienable, and indefeasible right to reform, alter, or abolish it, in such manner as shall be judged most conducive to the public weal."
12:06 PM · May 12, 2026
·
This is in fact a call to sedition, the equivalent of the calls to secede from the Union in 1860.
It's interesting that on J6, 2021 the Democrats lost it because some people exercised their civil right to protest at the Capitol but a few went inside. They called that a "threat to democracy" and made hay over that for years. Now they are openly calling for the overthrow of an entire state government and they don't think THAT represents a "threat to democracy"?
And the "insurrection" as they called it was at least based on a grave injustice - a massive fraud campaign to steal an election (and even if you don't believe that the people there did). This is based on the system working as it was designed to work; the Virginia Democrats didn't follow multiple rules in rushing this Constitutional amendment through in time for the November elections. The Va Constitution is quite clear on how this is supposed to work but they just ignored it, ignored little details like the fact an amendment has to be proposed and then an intervening general election must be held before it can be put up for a referendum. They didn't bother with that.
The Virginia supreme court is not exactly a right-wing institution. Oh, and if it is I have to ask since when are the Democrats against the courts taking political action? They are just fine with it when they do it.
Marc Elias in particular is a premier scumbag and I am certain if someone started really digging into his career we would turn up all sorts of skeletal remains. Time to start digging guys!

Boo Hoo from Blue Barrett; Conehead Cries Over Being a Saloon Door
Timothy Birdnow
Seems we have touched a nerve.
Conehead is upset with being called a swing vote and of being flighty.
She swings like an old west saloon door. And her positions are all over the map; I would call that "flighty".
If you are frequently agreeing with the activist leftists on the court, if you find common ground wit "Leroy" Brown Jackson, then you are at best flighty and possibly downright stupid.
Conehead sided with the Left side on deportations. She sided with them over the Trump tariffs. She allowed border agents under Biden to cut through the wire fence put up by Texas to slow illegal aliens from invading the Lone Star State. She sided with the Libs in a case where the Biden EPA issued draconian air-pollution regulations. (This was the Orwellian-named "good neighbor provision" which would allow Democrat controlled states to set emissions standards in Republican states "downwind" of them.) In that case Barrett bitterly disagreed with the majority "What is the theoretical justification for using tradition that way?” she asked. Uh, ever heard of PRECEDENT you sill woman?
There have been multiple other examples of Barrett's shallow and people-pleasing judicial approach, but you get the point. She is a waffler, a great one, someone who should be working in a cheap morning diner.
But she doesn't want to be thought of that way.
It's odd how often we get Republican appointed Justices who turn their backs on the date who brung 'em and kiss media and Democrat fanny. David Souter was the king, of course, but there have been plenty of others (like Sandra Day O'Connor). This woman is just one more in a long line of Republican appointees who now want to make a legacy for herself by playing both sides against the middle, by triangulating, to get kudos from the press.
But in the end the person who strides the fence will wind up being impaled by the pickets. I think Conehead is realizing that now and isn't at all happy about the fact America has notices.

UFO REALLY!
Timothy Birdnow
Uh, balloons seem to defy gravity...
There would be absolutely no reason for some sort of extraterrestrial beings to visit the Earth. And the degree of difficulty to travel between stars would make it wholly impractical. Thinking space aliens would be interested in us is pure hubris; we just aren't that important to beings capable of doing this.
And we've never found any real concrete evidence of them. As Manhattan Project scientist Enrico Fermi asked "where are they?"
This newly released footage is still like photos of Nessie; it looks like something there but we don't have any really decent shots.
I suspect this is a red herring, a scam, a con, perpetrated by our government and likely other governments. We know at least some of the reasons for it, at least from the past; the Skunkworks, where they invented and tested experimental aircraft, was at Area 51 in Nevada and so they encouraged stories about aliens to hide the high tech aircraft they were testing. If they lied about it then why aren't they lying about it now?
A lot of this "evidence" may well be deep fakes; the government could pull that off.
I'll only believe these things are actual extraterrestrials when they make contact. Until then I'm going to remain quite skeptical. This thing has always had the appearance of a hoax to me. We know many of the crop circles were hoaxes too. So was Bigfoot.

I Don't Know Much About Art but I Know What I Like (or What is Beauty)
Timothy Birdnow
Art reflects the health of a culture. Ours has become completely buffugly.
Rowan Atkinson, as Mr. Bean in The Ultimate Disaster Movie, gives a pretty apt description of the painting that
won the Archibald Prize, Australia's most prestigious award:
"a hideous old bat who looked like she had a cactus lodged up her backside.".
It is a painting of minority though so it must be high art!
Great art is almost non-existent in the modern West as our culture has turned to, well, cowpies. We used to see that in old Eastern Bloc artwork - complete loss of beauty or grace or meaning, but rather just utilitarianism or plain old ugly and crass. It's what liberalism causes. Beauty and grace cometh from the Almighty - dung cometh from the mind of unregenerate men.
And they can no longer even tell the difference between beauty and crap.
Our civilization is surely dying.

Was Hunter Biden Patronizing Sex Trafficking?
Timothy Birdnow
Well, lunchbox Joe certainly liked to grope and in fact was credibly accused by his own daughter of statutory rape of her as a child.
We KNOW Hunter hired hookers, and often. We KNOW he messed around with serious drugs. We KNOW he blew vast sums of money. Wouldn't know he's guilty of this in particular but if it walks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it's probably a duck.

Glyphosate Causes Cancer is "Settled Science"?
Timothy Birdnow
Another hysterical post claiming glyphosate is the worst thing since the apple eaten by Adam and Eve.
Environmental activists changed the original report from the World Health Organization which had cleared glyphosate to declare it a danger to the public health.
This is more "settled science" that the Left spouts to silence any critics. The fact is glyphosate was used for a long, long time and only now do we suddenly believe it is harmful - and that with little in the way of good substitutes.
A commenter had this to say about the hysteria over glyphosate:
John Dale Dunn MD JD
The toxicology that is used by these scaremongers is junk science. glyphosate is a herbicide and it's mechanism of action doesn't cause cancer or any other medical diseases.
Studies using "associations" don't prove anything--commenters below are believers in the scare. Glyphosate is an essential part of modern ag practice--improving yields by reducing weeds.
Doctor Dunn is correct. This article relies almost entirely on the WHO - you know, the same jerks who promoted the Covid insanity - and some obviously tainted organizations with vested interests. The only credible source he cites is Dr. Robert Malone, who is certainly someone worth paying attention to but he's hardly all-knowing.
The fact is this glyphosate campaign bears all the earmarks of the Climate Change scam or the Covidiocy. It has followed the exact same pattern and of course the proponents whisper darkly about "the Bayer Industrialist Complex" when in fact Baer isn't even an American company so there is little reason for the U.S. government to bend over backwards and hide evidence that Roundup hurts people. This is just another "big oil money" accusation that upon reflection is ridiculous.
Many in the MAHA movement are suffering from rattling syndrome; the screws are rattling about inside their noggins.
I've seen this sort of alarmism many, many times before and know a con job when I see one.
I couldn't care less if we use Roundup or something different, but I DO care about the Truth - and the collateral damage caused by such campaigns. This will cost Americans more for food, no question. And it will hurt small farmers who rely on this herbicide.
As a slight aside there was a product made to end dandruff called
Herpacide back in the end of the 19th and early 20th centuries. My grandfather said it caused SOME hairs to grow out of control, giving you a crazy hairdo and inspiring this song mocking the product:
Sung to the tune of Harrigan:
H E R P I C I D spells Herpicide
That's the kind of stuff that makes your hair grow
makes you look exactly like a scarecrow
H E R P I C I D you see
first you rub it then you crub it
then you scrub it then you rub and
and there's hair again, on me!

No
medical or
scientific study has ever shown glyposate to be harmful. Lawyers in court are citing that
juries have found against Roundup, but they never claim to a jury that medical science has found that to be the case. They persuade juries to rule against Roundup based on what
other juries have done, not based on
medical evidence.

Exactly right Bill! The science isn't there - just the interpretation of legal precedents by juries and by liberal NGO's.

Iran's Proxy War in Africa
Timothy Birdnow
In other Iran news it turns out the Islamic Republic has been terrorizing more than just Middle Eastern states:
There is African blood on Barack Hussein Obama's hands. Obama funded the Mullahs, who funded this.
Here's a little taste from the Gateway Pundit:
The April 2026 arrest of Shamim Mafi at Los Angeles International Airport, charged with brokering a $72.5 million Iranian arms deal to Sudan, exposed more than a single transaction. It opened a window onto a continental network the IRGC has been building for four decades, one that now spans North Africa, the Horn, the Sahel, and southern Africa.
In North Africa, the IRGC has applied its proxy model to the Western Sahara conflict. The Polisario Front, formally the Popular Front for the Liberation of Saguia el-Hamra and Río de Oro, is an Algerian-backed separatist movement founded in 1973. The group claims sovereignty over Western Sahara, a territory Morocco has administered since Spain’s withdrawal in 1975. A UN-brokered ceasefire in 1991 ended open guerrilla warfare, but a promised independence referendum was never held.
Today, the Polisario controls roughly 20 percent of the territory from desert camps in Tindouf, Algeria. It operates a self-declared government-in-exile called the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic. The United States recognized Western Sahara as Moroccan territory in 2020.
Iran’s entry transformed this Cold War-era territorial dispute into a live proxy conflict. In 2018, Moroccan Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita accused Iran and Hezbollah of training and arming Polisario fighters through the Iranian embassy in Algeria. He stated that Hezbollah had supplied the group with SAM-9, SAM-11, and Strela surface-to-air missiles. The allegations prompted Morocco to sever diplomatic ties with Tehran.
The relationship has since deepened into direct military deployment. Regional and European security officials told the Washington Post that Iran trained hundreds of Polisario fighters who were later detained by Syria’s new security forces after fighting alongside the Assad regime. Among those detained were an Algerian army general and approximately 500 soldiers. Syrian Interim President Ahmed al-Sharaa rejected Algerian requests for their release, stating that all captured fighters would face prosecution for war crimes and crimes against civilians.
Fahed al-Masri, head of Syria’s National Salvation Front, told Yedioth Ahronoth that 200 Polisario fighters trained by Iran had been deployed to sensitive military positions near the Israeli border. In 2022, Polisario Interior Minister Omar Mansour publicly disclosed that fighters were training in the assembly and operation of armed drones. Open-source weapons analysts also confirmed that imagery posted on Polisario social media channels showed Iranian-type munitions.
The episode exposed an operational triangle linking Algiers, the Tindouf camps, and the Syrian front. It confirmed that the Polisario functions not merely as a separatist movement, but as a deployable component of Iran’s Axis of Resistance. Senator Ted Cruz introduced legislation in March 2026 to designate the group as a Foreign Terrorist Organization. Cruz stated that Iran was attempting to turn the Polisario into "the Houthis of West Africa.”
Iran is a puss-filled boil that was in the process of bursting and about to make the whole world septic. Thank God Donald Trump decided to take action.
Violence against Christians has been ramping up all over Africa but especially in the northwest (particulary in Nigeria) but in West Africa too. Christians are being murdered at an amazing rate (with little complaint coming from Pope Leo or anyone else in the West) and one must wonder about that. No doubt it ties in with the Iranians.

UAE Joins Us in War with Iran
Timothy Birdnow
This was inevitable; Iran lobbed missile after missile at them. Now the UAE is not going to take it anymore.
How long before the other Gulf states join us? Before China or India join us?
It's sad; we have a better ally in the UAE than in Europe or Australia or Canada.
