“Obama State Dept blocked FBI from arresting supporters of Iran nuclear program in US: Emails” by Brooke Singman at Fox News, May 22, 2024
- Although this report dates back to the Obama administration, there should be no doubt that agents of the Islamic Republic of Iran remain in the U.S., continuing to support that regime’s nuclear weapons ambitions. That the FBI, whose responsibility it is to defend the U.S. domestically against threats from hostile actors, so egregiously failed to take any necessary steps to stop then-Secretary of State John Kerry from interfering in that duty, must raise questions about how the Biden administration even now is dealing with such threats from the Islamic Republic.
“Exclusive: US confirms Iran will run absentee ballot stations in US” by Michael Lipin at VOA, June 22, 2024
- Even as the Iranian people both inside Iran and among the diaspora called for a boycott of the elections, the USG continues to facilitate that brutal and oppressive regime to perpetuate the sham that any Iranian regime elections actually are.

- Iranian presidential elections were held on June 28, 2024, but should more accurately be called “selections” because there is nothing free or fair about them. That the USG should allow the Islamic Republic’s regime to set up absentee voting sites on U.S. soil is both morally and strategically wrong.
“U.S. Conducts Secret, Indirect Talks With Iran’s Chief Nuclear Negotiator” at Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD), May 22, 2024
- The Biden administration continues to pander to, and seek to appease, the Islamic Republic of Iran with secret talks in Oman between White House Middle East advisor Brett McGurk and the Tehran regime’s chief nuclear negotiator, Ali Bagheri Kani (also a candidate for president in recent regime “selections”).
“Report: US asks Hezbollah to convince Hamas to accept ceasefire” at naharnet.com, June 7, 2024
- This one can only be categorized as from the theater of the absurd.
“Meet the Jihadi Inside the White House” by Stephen Green at PJ Media, May 13, 2024
- Important exposé about Maher Bitar, the Biden administration’s Senior Director for Intelligence Programs at the National Security Council. Bitar worked for UNRWA (UN Relief and Works Agency) in Jerusalem before joining former President Obama’s National Security Council and before that was on the Executive Board of Georgetown University’s Students for Justice in Palestine chapter.
“Federal probes of campus antisemitism have flopped” by Jonathan Tobin at Jewish News Syndicate (JNS), June 24, 2024
- Despite the post-October 7 explosion of antisemitism and a widespread hostile environment for Jewish students on campus, the Biden administration’s Department of Education has barely taken notice and imposed nothing more than a slap on the wrist to universities that have allowed such behavior.
