Socialism never works.
And the price of oil continues to decline.
Some kind of CIA thing
I’m sure Tucker will be out with an episode this week defending the Islamists in Iran.
They are also facing a huge water crisis impacting Tehran.



Iran has been hit by a wave of mass protests prompted by an enduring economic crisis and the extreme volatility of the national currency. The unrest has been cheered by Israel’s Mossad spy agency, which claimed it has agents embedded with the protesting crowds.
The events began over the weekend when Tehran merchants went on strike after the rial hit a record low of about 1.44 million to the dollar, compared with 860,000 a year ago, prompting officials to acknowledge economic problems while vowing a “decisive response” to destabilization.
Iran’s archrival Israel openly endorsed the unrest, with the Mossad spy agency cheering for the protesters on its Farsi-language X account and claiming its agents are embedded in the protesting crowds. “Go out into the streets together. The time has come. We are with you,” Mossad wrote. “Not just from a distance or through words. We are also with you on the ground.”
The unrest promptly spread into multiple cities across the country and also turned political, with some demonstrators demanding the reinstatement of the monarchy, toppled by the Islamic Revolution back in 1979.
Widespread protests in Iran over the worsening economic crisis are spreading through major cities, including Tehran, Mashhad, and Isfahan, as they enter their second day. Many demonstrators are calling for the return of the Shah.
The protests turned violent in multiple locations, uncorroborated footage circulating online suggests, with protesters seen attacking government buildings and installations linked to Iran’s elite Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), setting them on fire.
A base of the Basij, a paramilitary militia within the IRGC, has been reportedly torched in the northwestern Iranian city of Chenareh. Unverified footage circulating online shows the base’s premises breached by a large crowd, with open flames seen inside the building.
Mossad created unrest, nothing organic. Just more Mossad action.

Really? Nothing to do with Iran losing the 12 Day War and several top commanders to Israel
.... the crowds chanting death to Khomeini instead of Death to America.
There have been multiple sightings of Vicky Nuland handing out bumps (of cocaine).
The Iranian rial dates back to 1798 when it was first introduced as a silver coin during the Qajar dynasty. In 1932, the rial became Iran’s currency, and as you can imagine, it is a pretty important part of the lives of Iran’s 85 million citizens. A rial saved is a rial earned, they might say, or the rial stops here. You know the gag.
There’s a sudden and unexpected rial problem. It has set the theocratic country ablaze. Ironically, the Iranians are experiencing a sudden and unexpected affordability crisis.
In December alone, the rial lost -20% of its value. Since the same time last year, inflation has surged +42% nationwide, with food prices rocketing up +72%, and health and medical items up +50%.
Remember Clinton’s rule of thumb? It’s the economy, bro. (Or words to that effect.)
The understandable result, which bloomed just over the last week, is that Iranians are street protesting again, in large numbers, the extent of which is hotly debated. As always, the protests are mostly peaceful, which means cars are burning merrily and Iranians are shooting commercial-grade fireworks at each other. “Demonstrators are demanding regime change,” the article explained, “with some demonstrators even chanting slogans such as ‘death to the dictator.’” It’s not much of a slogan, but it makes the point.
