How The US Ends Up Funding The Iranian Regime

By Sam Faddis   May 14, 2026

In 2026, the US Treasury sanctioned the MVM partnership (a multinational network involving Iran, the UAE, Türkiye, and China). It procured sodium chlorate, sodium perchlorate, and sebacic acid from China for Iran’s Parchin Chemical Industries (part of the Defense Industries Organization). These are critical ingredients for solid rocket motor propellant in ballistic missiles. The network relied on diverted Iraqi dollars and shadow banking

We are at war with Iran. Meanwhile, we are supplying Iran with hard cash to keep it afloat. This is how it works.

Ever since 2003, the U.S. Federal Reserve has been shipping pallets of cash to Iraq. Iraqi oil revenues are typically deposited into the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, and in exchange, because Iraq’s economy is heavily cash-based, we send physical U.S. currency to the Central Bank of Iraq.

We send a lot of cash, sometimes as much as $13 billion a year.

Once in Iraq, a substantial portion of this money is diverted or smuggled into Iran, particularly through Iran-backed militias and informal networks. These pro-Iranian groups access the cash via auctions, banks, fake invoices, and prepaid debit card schemes. Once physical $100 bills reach Iraq (via Fed shipments), militias move bulk cash across the porous border to Iran (e.g., via Diyala, Basra, or pilgrimage routes like Najaf-Karbala). The cash is carried in suitcases by couriers, hidden inside vehicles or goods, or stashed inside diplomatic pouches. Often, the militias involved have people on their payroll at the border crossings in question.

“In terms of how the US dollar is being moved from Iraq to Iran, much of it is technically done through legal channels but under false pretences. Dollars are transferred abroad — often to the UAE or Turkey — ostensibly for trade purposes. These transactions are supported by invoices and documentation, but in many cases, the trade is fake,” a well-informed source on the issue told TNA, on condition of anonymity. “The goods are either overpriced, never delivered, or don’t exist at all. Once the funds are outside Iraq, they’re redirected and used to support Iran’s financial system or brought back into the country in cash.”

“The physical cash is typically flown into Iraq through Baghdad International Airport or smuggled across land borders. Iran-backed militias are heavily involved in these operations, either directly managing the logistics or providing protection and political cover. They also benefit from their control over exchange offices, customs routes, and sometimes even state institutions.”

DNI GABBARD -2020 ELECTION SECURITY

DNI Gabbard spurs probe into evidence Congress, Trump were misled on election security, memos show

The evidence continues to stack up that the U.S. intel community sought to downplay China’s actions in 2020 as Trump sought reelection, perhaps at the cost of legal or ethical rules. CIA Director John Ratcliffe said that there was a “false impression that Russia sought to influence the election, but China did not.”

By John Solomon and Jerry Dunleavy  May 6, 2026

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has spurred an investigation into evidence that spy agencies tried to conceal U.S. election vulnerabilities, including whistle-blower claims that a CIA officer was asked to alter evidence of China meddling and that President Donald Trump and Congress were intentionally kept in the dark about concerns involving China and Venezuela, according to unclassified memos reviewed by Just the News.

The memos indicate Gabbard’s team first learned about the evidence — much of it yet classified — last year as part of a review conducted by her now-disbanded Director’s Initiative Group (DIG) and recently referred it to the new Intelligence Community (IC) Inspector General Christopher Fox, a move that could eventually lead to the public gaining access to declassified versions of some of the evidence.

Foreign interference efforts by China were de-emphasized as far back as 2020

The wide-ranging approach taken by the FBI in response to now-debunked claims of Trump-Russia collusion in 2016 stands in stark contrast to how the U.S. intelligence community sought to bury evidence of Chinese government efforts to undermine Trump’s candidacy in 2020.

The National Intelligence Council concluded in 2020 that China had hacked or gained access to several state voter registration databases, but that information was hidden from the American public, state election officials, and Congress. The new memos reviewed by Just the News cite evidence that China may have gained access to between 12 and 18 states’ voter registration databases in 2020 alone, an infiltration far larger than previously acknowledged.

They also chronicle efforts to suppress the extent of China’s malicious election activities despite whistle-blower complaints from Christopher Porter — the now-former national intelligence officer for cyber — trying to bring attention to it. Just the News recently reported that Fox, the current intel community watchdog, is reviewing Porter’s whistle-blower concerns anew, including evidence of possible retaliation during the Biden years.

The ODNI is currently in possession of allegations made by one or more intelligence officers arguing that foreign interference efforts by China were de-emphasized or omitted entirely from final analytic assessments, kept out of the President’s Daily Brief, or PDB, or hidden from congressional oversight, according to documents reviewed by Just the News.

These actions within the IC were taken in an alleged effort to undercut Trump’s 2020 reelection campaign and resist his China-related policies, according to the memos reviewed by Just the News.

The Biden Administration Knew The Chinese Could Manipulate Our Elections – They Covered It Up

By Sam Faddis April 22, 2026
In 2022, the election security firm True the Vote broke the story that a company called Konnech in Michigan was storing data on American election workers on servers in China. True the Vote leaders Catherine Engelbrecht and Gregg Phillips were, of course, ridiculed by the so-called mainstream press. Then it got worse. They were jailed because they would not give up the name of their source, who had blown the whistle on Konnech. The federal government didn’t seem to give a damn that a hostile foreign power might be able to influence our elections. It did seem very intent on making sure no one knew about it.

Breaking the Architecture of Iran’s Regime Power

by Ahmed Charai
May 4, 2026

  • For decades, Tehran has delayed, promised, denied, escalated, and recalibrated — all while rebuilding its capabilities… and preserving the machinery of regime survival.
  • The Iranian regime is not sustained by ideology alone. It is sustained by money, contracts, ports, banks, smugglers, foundations, front companies, privileged merchants, terrorist proxies, and commercial collaborators. Washington… must target the networks that feed it.
  • The regime does not move money through uniforms and official titles. It moves money through family members, front companies, exchange houses, shipping firms, insurance brokers, commodity traders, gold dealers, charities, banks, and offshore accounts. Every one of these channels must be mapped, exposed, and disrupted.
    • [W]holesalers, currency dealers, gold traders, import-export operators, shipping intermediaries, and commercial families who help the IRGC evade sanctions, manipulate markets, launder money, or finance repression should face direct consequences.
    • The objective is not to destroy Iranian commerce. The objective is to liberate it from the regime.
    • The [US] strategy should …reward defection.
    • [T]he regime’s networks do not stop at Iran’s borders. They extend across the region through proxies, terrorist cells, cyber units, propaganda platforms, and intelligence operations.
    • The Abraham Accords should not only be a diplomatic framework. They should become a protected strategic architecture against Iranian coercion.
      • The message to the Iranian people must remain clear: the conflict is not with Iran as a nation, nor with Persian civilization, nor with ordinary families struggling to survive. The target is the regime’s theft of Iran’s economy. Iran is not poor because it lacks resources. Iran is poor because the Islamic Republic has converted national wealth into repression, missiles, militias, corruption, and foreign adventurism.
      • Hormuz must be reopened, but the regime’s economic, financial, military, and proxy networks must be dismantled.
      • As the United States moves to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and restore freedom of navigation, Washington must not lose sight of the larger strategic reality: Hormuz is not the core issue. It is the latest instrument of Iranian blackmail.The Islamic Republic of Iran has long mastered the politics of manipulation. It uses propaganda to project strength, disinformation to confuse public opinion, threats to intimidate the region, and negotiations to buy time. For decades, Tehran has delayed, promised, denied, escalated, and recalibrated — all while rebuilding its capabilities, consolidating its networks, and preserving the machinery of regime survival.

        This is one of the regime’s most effective methods: turning the original problem upside down.

        At the beginning, the issue was Iran’s nuclear program, its ballistic missiles, its terrorist proxies, and the future of the regime itself. Today, Tehran wants the world to discuss something else: how to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, how to avoid energy disruption, how to prevent escalation, and how to negotiate a temporary exit from the crisis. This is not diplomacy. It is strategy.

      • The regime creates a crisis, then demands to be treated as the indispensable party to solving it. It threatens regional stability, then asks for recognition when it reduces the threat. It uses escalation to shift the agenda from accountability to de-escalation.Washington should not be fooled again.

        The United States and its allies have tried nearly every approach: engagement, sanctions relief, warnings, indirect negotiations, limited pressure, and diplomatic patience. None has changed the essential nature of the Islamic Republic. The regime has used time not to moderate, but to adapt. It has used diplomacy not to reform, but to survive. That is why the next phase of Western strategy must begin from a different premise.

        The Iranian regime is not sustained by ideology alone. It is sustained by money, contracts, ports, banks, smugglers, foundations, front companies, privileged merchants, terrorist proxies, and commercial collaborators. To weaken it, Washington must move beyond targeting only the men who command the regime. It must target the networks that feed it.

Trump Makes America a Nation of Builders Again

by Shane Harris    May 4, 2026

Few American leaders have understood the importance of bold and ambitious projects for bolstering a culture and promoting national unity quite like President Donald Trump. During his second term, America is becoming a nation of builders again – and that may ultimately be one of his greatest legacies.
Throughout history, the greatest civilizations have left their mark not merely through words or ideas, but through what they built. The pyramids of Egypt, the Parthenon in Greece, the Colosseum in Rome, the Eiffel Tower in Paris, Buckingham Palace in London – these are not just structures. They are declarations. Strong, confident societies build great things. They leave behind monuments that signal permanence, strength, and vision
The same has been true of the United States as well. America’s rise as a global power in the early 20th century coincided with extraordinary feats of engineering and ambition. The Panama Canal reshaped global trade and stands as one of the most impressive infrastructure projects in human history. At the same time, the skyline of Manhattan began its ascent, with steel and glass towers rising as monuments to American industry and ingenuity. Soon after came the Hoover Dam, a project so massive and audacious that it symbolized mankind’s ability to tame nature itself.
Even in science and technology, America’s greatest moments have been rooted in this same builder’s ethos. The Manhattan Project cemented America’s status as a global superpower and ushered in the nuclear age. The Apollo program achieved what once seemed impossible in putting a man on the Moon, and in doing so rallied the country behind a world-changing endeavor.
That is the deeper significance of building. It is not just about economic output or physical infrastructure. Great projects unify a people. They give a nation a shared mission and a sense of purpose. The transcontinental railroad did more than connect coasts; it forged a continent into a single, cohesive nation and rekindled the pioneering spirit that first drove people across an ocean to seek a better life.
President Trump instinctively understands this in a way few modern political leaders do. Before entering politics, he was, at his core, a builder. His career in real estate was defined by large-scale projects that reshaped skylines and created lasting physical legacies. That mindset has carried over into his presidency.
During his first term, Trump signed an executive order aimed at “making federal architecture beautiful again,” a directive he has revived in his second term. The order states that “applicable Federal public buildings should uplift and beautify public spaces, inspire the human spirit, ennoble the United States, and command respect from the general public.” That is not a superficial concern. It reflects a deeper understanding that the physical environment a nation creates for itself shapes how its citizens think and feel about their country.

Beautiful, enduring architecture fosters pride, signals seriousness, and tells both citizens and the world that America believes in itself.

Task force finds Biden administration persecuted traditional Christians

By Sean Salai – The Washington Times – Thursday, April 30, 2026

What to know

  • The report cites hundreds of cases as evidence of systematic discrimination.
  • It claims the Biden administration labeled Christians as ‘domestic terrorists’ for their beliefs.
  • Christian advocacy groups praised the report as validation of their concerns.

A Trump administration task force report accuses the Biden administration of systematically targeting traditional Christians and cites what it describes as hundreds of cases as evidence.

The 200-page document published Thursday bolsters complaints by faith groups that the Biden team weaponized the levers of power against those it labeled “Christian nationalists” and “domestic terrorists” for protesting abortion and transgender identity.

Although the Biden team tolerated private religious expression, the report found that it “zealously” worked to keep Christians out of the public square and even surveilled traditionalist Catholic priests.

“No American should live in fear that the federal government will punish them for their faith,” acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, the task force’s chair, said in a statement. “As our report lays out, the Biden Administration’s actions devastated the lives of many Christian Americans.”

Mr. Blanche insisted that the Trump administration ended those policies. He promised that the Justice Department would “continue to expose bad actors who targeted Christians and work tirelessly to restore religious liberty for all Americans of faith.”

The Justice Department worked with the Education Department to coordinate the Task Force to Eradicate Anti-Christian Bias. The Education Department cited “excessive fines levied against Christian universities, intrusions by men into girls’ sports and locker rooms, vaccine mandates, and the exclusion of Christians from public programs.”

President Trump established the task force in a February 2025 executive order that tasked it with documenting anti-Christian policies and recommending ways to reverse them.

SUPREME COURT’S RULING AGAINST RACIAL GERRYMANDERING

Louisiana suspends House primaries in wake of Supreme Court’s racial gerrymandering ruling

By Susan Ferrechio – The Washington Times – Thursday, April 30, 2026

What to know

  • Louisiana’s governor plans to delay May 16 congressional primaries.
  • The delay follows a Supreme Court ruling on racially gerrymandered districts.
  • Gov. Jeff Landry aims to give time for redrawing the congressional map.
  • The ruling affects two majority-Black districts in Louisiana.

Louisiana’s Republican governor on Thursday delayed the May 16 congressional primaries following the Supreme Court ruling that threw out the state’s racially gerrymandered districts.

Gov. Jeff Landry said he is postponing the primaries for the state’s six U.S. House seats to give the Louisiana legislature time to redraw the congressional map.

The governor said the state is prohibited from carrying out congressional elections under the state’s current map.

The Supreme Court on Wednesday voted 6-3 to limit the scope of the Voting Rights Act in determining congressional district lines. The ruling strikes down Louisiana’s current congressional map, which includes two majority-Black districts.

“Yesterday’s historic Supreme Court victory for Louisiana has an immediate consequence for the state,” said Mr. Landry and Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill in a statement. “The Supreme Court previously stayed an injunction against the state’s enforcement of the current congressional map. By the court’s order, however, that stay automatically terminated with yesterday’s decision. Accordingly, the state is currently enjoined from carrying out congressional elections under the current map. We are working together with the legislature and the secretary of state’s office to develop a path forward.”

Absentee voting in Louisiana’s now-questionable May 16 primary has already begun, and early voting was to start later this week.

he governor signed an executive order Thursday afternoon suspending the primary for U.S. House races. The order also urges the state legislature “to pass legislation to enact new Congressional maps and schedule those elections as soon as practical, including laws governing qualification of candidates, in order to conduct the November 3, 2026 election.”

Other states may follow Louisiana’s scramble to redraw congressional districts following the Supreme Court ruling.

Sen. Marsha Blackburn, a Republican running for governor of Tennessee, called on her state’s legislature to ditch its current map, with a 7-2 Republican advantage, and go for one that would produce an 8-1 split by redrawing a seat in the Memphis area.

Republicans in Alabama are also calling for a new map. The state’s congressional district lines give the Republicans a 6-2 advantage but could be rewritten to make that 7-1 now that a court-ordered Black majority district is no longer required.

In South Carolina, Rep. Ralph Norman, a Republican seeking the state’s governorship, called for new lines to redraw a majority Black district held by a Democrat.

HUGE WIN IN PENNSYLVANIA FOR ELECTION INTEGRITY

 HUGE WIN IN PENNSYLVANIA FOR ELECTION INTEGRITY
April 29, 2026

A major election transparency battle in Pennsylvania has ended with a unanimous state Supreme Court ruling, and the result is a serious win for voters who believe public confidence requires public access. After more than five years of legal fights, the court ruled that Cast Vote Records, known as CVRs, must be made available for inspection. That decision could have ripple effects far beyond Pennsylvania.

The case began in 2021 when Heather Honey of VerityVote requested 2020 election CVR files from Lycoming County. County officials denied the request, launching a legal saga that moved through multiple courts before reaching the state’s highest bench. Now the Pennsylvania Supreme Court has made it clear: these records are public and must be turned over. Imagine that, citizens asking to inspect government records and eventually being told yes after only half a decade.

For those unfamiliar, CVRs are essentially digital receipts produced by ballot tabulator machines. Every ballot scanned by a tabulator creates data showing how votes were recorded, along with timestamps, precinct information, and other details. These records do not identify individual voters, but they do provide a transparent trail of how votes were counted.

That matters because CVRs are one of the earliest and most direct sources of election data. They can help analysts review unusual vote spikes, timing irregularities, and discrepancies between tabulator outputs and later reported totals. In plain English, they allow the public to verify that the machinery of elections is doing what officials claim it is doing.

Lower courts were split. One trial court found the records should be public and that disclosure would not violate ballot secrecy. Later, the Commonwealth Court reversed that ruling, claiming CVRs were the digital equivalent of ballots and therefore exempt. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court rejected that argument unanimously.

The justices held that CVRs are not ballots, not ballot boxes, and not the same as voting machines used by citizens to cast votes. Instead, they are reports, documents, and records subject to public inspection. That distinction is critical and long overdue.

The court also emphasized that releasing CVRs does not compromise voter anonymity because they contain no identifying information. The risk, the justices noted, is no greater than already published election results. That should be common sense, but in election law common sense often needs a court order.

Critics of transparency usually insist that asking questions somehow threatens democracy. Nonsense. Secrecy threatens democracy. Confidence comes from verification, not slogans.

Heather Honey and VerityVote have pushed this issue for years, often facing attacks from legacy media and activist groups. Whether one agrees with every position they hold is beside the point. On this issue, they were right to insist the public deserves access.

Pennsylvania’s ruling sends a powerful message: elections belong to the people, not to bureaucrats guarding spreadsheets behind locked doors. If officials want trust, they should welcome scrutiny instead of fighting it for five years.

U.S. plans to rapidly deploy anti-missile interceptors in space

Project to protect nation from attacks

By Bill Gertz

THE WASHINGTON TIMES   April 27, 2026

The Space Force announced it is spending $3.2 billion through 12 defense contractors to rapidly build the first U.S. system of high-technology, space-based anti-missile interceptors.

It is the first time the U.S. military has formally announced plans for placing missiles in space that can protect the country from enemy attacks.

“Adversary capabilities are advancing rapidly, and our acquisition strategies must move even faster to counter the growing speed and maneuverability of modern missile threats,” Space Force Col. Bryon McClain, a senior officer for space combat power, said of what is being called the SBI program.

“With the commitment and collaboration of these industry partners, the Space Force will demonstrate an initial capability in 2028,” he said in a statement Friday.
