The Foreign Desk has covered Iran, the Abraham Accords, narrative warfare and the stories the rest of the press won't touch — independently, for 12 years.

No corporate parent. No foreign donors. Just readers.

The Islamic Republic in Iran has been at war with the US for 47 years.

No Midterm results or cable news talking points will change the fact.

The problem wasn't starting the war- we were already at war. The problem was pausing it.

"It is unAmerican to give up" - @SebGorka

This is what my Muse sent out this morning in an email.

I thought I couldn’t love her more.

I was wrong.

“Here is the truth I woke up to this morning:

- Socialism inevitably leads to tyranny.
- Government can't create wealth; it can only redistribute what others produce.
- Every dollar the government spends is a dollar taken from the people who earned it.
- Debt passed to the next generation is taxation without representation.
- Welfare without work requirements creates dependency rather than dignity.

In spite of what happened yesterday, all of this is still true this morning. We know this to be true because we know our history; we understand economics.

So the question for us today is not whether we will stop believing in these truths, but whether we will stop fighting for them.

We don't want our children and grandchildren to be impoverished and enslaved by an all-powerful state.

THAT HAS NOT CHANGED.

So our motto for this year ahead should be "Hope Ignites," which I am borrowing from my friends at @Moms4Liberty.

As my husband always reminds me: It is unAmerican to give up.

So as you talk to friends and family today, be a beacon of hope. For your children and grandchildren, nieces and nephews, for all those living under tyranny around the world, be a beacon of hope. For the unborn in Virginia, be a beacon of hope. For our many fellow Americans who are eventually going to have to face the harsh truth that government cannot solve all their problems, let us all be beacons of hope.

I am going to keep fighting for this country that I love, and I hope you will keep fighting alongside me!

Timely reminder. Hearing pundits on both sides smugly and ignorantly call this an “unnecessary” war last night when the Islamic regime has been at war with us for almost 5 decades

47 years ago today, Iranian students stormed the U.S. Embassy in Tehran, taking 66 Americans hostage. Fifty-two would endure 444 days in captivity before their release.

There’s a difference between abandoning an ally and helping that ally become more self-sufficient.

US policy is to support a strong, secure Israel because our alliance serves American interests. We don’t provide aid because Israel is a charity case. This is a reciprocal relationship that benefits us through intelligence, technology and security cooperation.

If Israel can fund more of its own defense while maintaining its security and our strategic cooperation, that’s a win for both countries.

The details of this transition matter. And if an emergency requires American assistance, we should be prepared to revisit it. But the goal should be a stronger, more self-sufficient ally—not permanent dependence.
