Progressives Protesting Against Their Own Progressive Interest

So what leads women who dress up like this:

To protest in support of the Islamic mullah-led government of Iran, that makes women dress up like this:

 Heck, how do you explain how progressive Calla Walsh, a former campaign worker for  Senator Elizabeth Warren can get on stage in Iran, complete with the obligatory hijab, and on live Iranian TV recite "Death to America". ?

She is progressively propagandizing for a regime that, among other heinous things, requires women protestors seeking freedom to be raped before they are executed to prevent them under Islamic law from going to heaven, which they would if they died as virgins? 

These progressive women are quite simply fantasizing when they claim the government under President Trump and Republicans is a burgeoning theocracy that will force them to wear the snazzy red outfits.  Not going to happen.

Indeed, the Trump administration is taking active steps to free women currently trapped under the material of such similar outfits in Iran, far beyond the platitudes and lack of action of the progressives and prior Democratic leadership both. 

At the same time this is going on, these progressive women protest on behalf of a Islamic regime that, by any metric, abuses women in a fashion even the fictional wankers of the women's fantasy that run the theocracy in the Handmaid's Tale would find repugnant.

How to square that circle? 

It's basically a combination of fantasy, ignorance, and the Red-Green progressive alliance.

After all, with the fall of the Soviet Union, it looked to progressives that western civilization was in its ascendancy and communism and its promise of socialist paradise just wasn't going to happen.

So instead, they sought out support of regimes and peoples that while anti-progressive by word, act and ideology, stood the best chance of destroying western civilization that these progressives had convinced themselves was the source of all evil.

This is how you get progressive LGBT-ers protesting on behalf of peoples and regimes that think that the best LGBTer is one who is given a flying lesson - off a multi-story building. And it is how you get women protesting on behalf of regimes and ideologies that, if theses same women were under their control that regime would systematically strip them of their rights including their rights to protest.

Never mind that women and indeed all mankind have never been freer than they are now in places where western civilization is ascendant. The progressive believe it is a hellhole where any moment now they will be forced into handmaid's suits and a socialist paradise waits around the corner.

The Socialist Paradise they work for never actually arrives mind you, and if it does it inevitably fails in hunger and poverty, and is discarded by them as not a real "Socialist Paradise".  Progressives then try out the next one to lay their hopes upon.

So why the Red-Green alliance?  

Well, Islam is the only force, aside from Communist China, that right now has a real capability of tearing down western civilization, especially if the progressives in positions of power give it a helping hand with open immigration,  protection of it from criticism, and giving Islamism a free rein in their countries.

Somehow, the progressive figure, just like the gnome underpants theory of value, that if they stuff in enough Islamists, it will bring down western civilization and then lead to a socialist paradise where the enlightened progressives end up on top like white saviors to lead the unwashed Islamic hordes to paradise.

This cunning plan of the progressives has holes in it, a lot of them, to say the least.  

It doesn't have a good track record. Indeed the progressive leftists in Iran who supported the overthrow of the Shah were among some of the first to be executed by the regime of the Ayatollahs.

But the plan is what they've got, even as it lacks any logical consistency, and it explains the rather inexplicable love the progressives have for people that are decidedly the very definition of UN-progressive.

Also, this irony of progressive women demonstrating in favor of regimes that are decidedly un-progressive towards women is not just found in the United States: Daily Mail: Ironic moment women's rights activists swear and jeer at protesters demonstrating against Iranian regime... which has brutally oppressed women for decades

MrGarabaldi over at My Daily Kona also chose today to write about the Red Green alliance.

In The UK, When The Data Goes Against Your Progressive Preferences

You stick with the progressive preferences, and ignore the data.  

At least that is what the UK, under Two-Tier Kier Starmer, has  decided to do.

The Labour Party of the United Kingdom's own report shows that:

Islamists are responsible for three-quarters of the police’s counterterror workload and 94 per cent of all terror-related deaths in the past 25 years. The plan also rejects calls, predominantly from British Muslims, for blasphemy laws in the UK.

And what has the Labour Party government decided to do about it?

They've decided to appoint an anti-Islamophobia Tsar and further crack down on people being "divisive"  when it comes to Islam, LGBTs (and there's a fine paradox right there), or simply not reflecting Labour Party progressive preferences.

No, Don't Do That

Stupid decisions by stupid people often lead to completely avoidable tragedies.

WXYZ Detroit: Detroit mother charged for unsafe storage of weapon after six-year-old killed in accidental shooting

Detroit mom decided to go to a restaurant and left her five, yes five, children ages 2 through 11 years old in her car, along with a firearm that was simply shoved under her seat and into the restaurant she went.

Left to themselves, the 11-year-old then retrieved the firearm and shot and killed the 6-year-old. 

Do not leave an unsecured firearm, shoved under the front seat, which is not a good idea even if alone, and especially not where kids can get it.

The mom should have had the firearm on her person, or at the very least taken all her kids into the restaurant with her and not left them alone in the vehicle.

But, she likely couldn't take the firearm in to the restaurant with her, as while the reporting is confused, it appears she was a felon in possession at the time, as she's been charged with 4 counts of felony firearm as in addition to the gun left in the car, other firearms were also found at her house. 

Tonya Charisse-Annie Johnson, 41, has been charged with:

  • Firearms — Safe Storage Violations — Premises Under Individual's Control — Minor Present and Inflicted Death upon Self or Another
  • Three counts of Second-Degree Child Abuse
  • Four counts of Felony Firearm

In short, be responsible and do not leave your firearms where they are readily accessible to unsupervised children.

F-35 Scores Its First Air-To-Air Kill

An Israeli F-35 Lightning II has shot down an Iranian Yak-130 over Tehran.

The Times Of Israel: In world 1st, Israeli F-35 shoots down Iranian jet in air-to-air combat over Tehran

This successful air-to-air kill for the F-35I marks the first time the F-35 has shot down another manned aircraft in combat so it is now 1-0.  

Yes, the Yak-130 is a light attack aircraft and jet trainer, but it is capable of air to air combat, and a kill is a kill.

This is just a first in a hopefully long string of air-to-air successes for the F-35.

Why Is Iran Regretting Using The Metric System?

Because they've lost a Kilo

TWZ.Com: One Of Iran’s Most Advanced Wacky Catamaran Warships Sunk In Epic Fury 

The single Kilo class submarine, Iran’s most advanced, which was docked at the base, also appears to have been sunk, and a large scorch mark sits next to where it was tied-up pier-side. U.S. Central Command confirmed it had targeted the “most operational Iranian submarine” in ongoing strikes last night.

In addition to the sinking of the Kilo, the other historic news, also submarine related, is that we now have an active-in-service US Navy Warship, other than the USS Constitution, that has destroyed an enemy warship:

FoxNews: US submarine sinks Iranian warship by torpedo in a first since World War II.

In addition to that milestone, the submarine successfully sinking the Iranian frigate marks the first time since the Falklands War, when the HMS Conqueror sank the ARA General Belgrano, that a nuclear submarine has torpedoed and sank an enemy vessel.

The Imam Within

Yep, Imam Mohammad Elahi, from the Islamic House of Wisdom in Dearborn is, true to form, busily praising the now deceased Iranian dictator Ayatollah Khamenei and condemning America and the US military as evil.

Memri:   Dearborn Heights Shi’ite Imam Mohammad Ali Elahi EulogizesIranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei 

Imam Elahi is very much of the Mullah's regime.  

Prior to his travel to America to propogandize on behalf of the Islamic regime, he was appointed the head Imam to the Iranian navy- as the regular navy was insuficiently zealously Islamic - in other words he was the religious zampolit for the Mullahs. He's very much a Shia twelver true believer and believes and backs the Islamic theocracy in Iran, and propagandizes on the regime's behalf here.

He's also rather popular among Democrats seeking the Islamic vote. Is he also acting as a conduit or connection between Democrat pols and the Islamic regime?  Who knows?

So, the interesting question is: Why is a known member of the Iranian Mullah's regime and propagandist for same free to unrestrictedly spread this hostile foreign regime's propaganda in America and proselytize on its behalf and their apocalyptic fanatical religion while we are in a state of open hostilities with said regime?

The Catch And Release Of Illegal Alien Criminals Kills Yet Again

The illegal alien, Abdul Jalloh, that is the center of this story was arrested not once, not twice, not three times, but THIRTY times.

Before he was released yet again to stab Stephanie Minter to death in Virginia.

Because Virginia is not just soft on crime, but it also doesn't turn over illegal criminals to ICE even when there was already an order issued for their removal from the country . . . in 2020.

NBC 4: How Fairfax County bus stop stabbing suspect avoided jail and deportation

So, how much longer will people put up with sanctuary states and cities letting illegal criminals keep going free until they kill someone? 

Virginia under Dem Gov Spanberger is doubling down on the policy, and Democrat Congress-critters have already demonstrated that they do not support American Citizens over illegal alien criminals.

AWFULs, while supporting such sanctuary state and city policies, are very much in the pool of victims from the failure to deport criminals under these  polices they support. 

Must be something about AWFULs and not understanding the concept of consequences from the support of these virtue-signalling policies.

The Motive May Never Be Known

The killer wore a sweatshirt that said "Property of Allah".

He also had an Islamic Republic of Iran flag t-shirt on under the sweatshirt. 

CBS News: Texas gunman wore "Property of Allah" hoodie, Iran flag T-shirt during attack

This clearly means his motive may never be known. It is a Complete mystery.

Indeed, per the FBI,  the Bureau is searching hard for a possible motive and possible link to terrorism for this Islamic immigrant.

The Detroit News:  FBI probes Texas mass shooting for terrorism link

I daresay Director Kash Patel needs to remove Agent Magoo and his fellow Biden-era agents that can't identify Islamic terrorism  --when it is literally on the killer's shirt -- from the investigation.
