Buxom daughter of senior Islamic Republic of Iran leader fired from Emory Medical School

Fatemeh Ardeshir-Larijani and her teeth

Ali Larijani sits at the heart of Iran's top leadership. He enforces the brutal crackdown on protesters that has now claimed at least 36,500 lives and left 330,000 wounded. He rails against the Great Satan, America, and even more fiercely against the Little Satan, Israel. Just two weeks ago he claimed the only people on the streets in Iranian cities were Mossad agents. He also blamed Trump for the protests, because Trump and the Jews obviously run the world and all that happens in it.

An Iranian defector has called Larijani the mastermind behind the massacre of protesters. See more in "Ali Larijani Masterminded the Massacre says Former Official," IranWire, January 18, 2026:

According to a former Islamic Republic official, speaking to IranWire through a traveler, Ali Larijani, the Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, has been at the center of the January 2026 crackdown. The source says Larijani is positioning himself for the post-Khamenei era, using his close ties with IRGC commanders and intelligence agencies, along with his family's connections to senior clerics, to build support across different factions and prepare to lead the system after Khamenei's death.

Larijani hails from a powerful clerical dynasty. His father, Mirza Hashem Amoli, was a prominent Shia Grand Ayatollah and a key figure at the Qom Seminary before the Revolution. His eldest brother, Mohammad Javad Larijani, served as a senior diplomat and Deputy Foreign Minister. His younger brother, Sadeq Larijani, is a seminary professor in Qom and a former Chief Justice of the Islamic Republic. Sadeq is often named as a potential successor to Khamenei.

Ali Larijani was naturally delighted when his daughter, the plump and pampered offspring of the regime's sinister elite, landed a teaching position at a U.S. medical school. Iranian exiles have long complained that the children of their oppressors study in the West, with tuition and living costs covered by funds their fathers stole from Iran's treasury. Then these same children secure jobs in the West as post-grads. They are the golden youth of Iran's nomenklatura. Now the daughter of this same Ali Larijani, one of Iran's worst non-clerical killers, has lost her teaching job at Emory Medical School. More details on her justified dismissal appear in "Daughter of top Iranian official who led regime crackdown fired from US medical school," Times of Israel, January 25, 2026:

The daughter of a top Iranian official has been dismissed from employment at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, following US sanctions on her father in the wake of the Iranian regime's brutal crackdown on protesters, according to the university’s newspaper Saturday.

Fatemeh Ardeshir-Larijani is the daughter of Ali Larijani, senior adviser to Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and has served as assistant professor at Emory's medical school, teaching hematology and medical oncology at the prestigious southern US university.

"A physician who is the daughter of a senior Iranian government official is no longer an employee of Emory," said the university's Winship Cancer Institute, following requests for comment from media.

"Because this is a personnel matter, we are unable to provide additional information," an Emory spokesperson added.

Ardeshir-Larijani's dismissal from Emory came some two weeks after sanctions were placed on her father by the US Treasury Department, in response to his alleged role masterminding the regime’s crackdown on protests that rocked the country this month.

In announcement of the sanctions earlier this month, the treasury said that Ali Larijani "is responsible for coordinating the response to the protests on behalf of the Supreme Leader of Iran and has publicly called for Iranian security forces to use force to repress peaceful protesters."…

The US-based Human Rights Activists News Agency on Saturday put the death toll at 5,137, with the number expected to increase. More than 27,700 people have been arrested, it said. Those earlier figures on deaths and wounded have been overtaken by the latest estimates, accepted by Iran International, TIME journalists, and American analysts with sources among medical personnel in Iran. They conclude that at least 36,500 protesters have been killed, and 330,000 wounded, by the IRGC, the Basij, and the police.

Was it wrong to fire Larijani’s daughter? Is she just an innocent who should not pay for her father's crimes? No. She, her father, and the rest of the Iranian elite who torture and murder their opponents while ensuring their own families enjoy Western freedoms for study and even teaching are not innocent. We need to drive home to that elite that their children are no longer welcome in the West. Their fathers cannot keep slaughtering tens of thousands in Iran and expect their kids to face zero consequences.

Larijani’s daughter has lived as one of the most privileged children of the Iranian elite. Her father, once in the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps and head of regime security, now serves as secretary of the Supreme National Security Council and a key architect of the latest murderous crackdown. In the past month of bloodshed she could have spoken out against the regime. 

She could have joined exile demonstrations here in America. She could have signed a protest letter. She did none of those things.

She has been fired from Emory. Now it is time to send Fatemeh Ardeshir-Larijani back to her country, where her murderous father and his ilk will welcome her. She has overstayed her welcome here long enough.

Interview: "They feel abandoned" and need Trump's help, former IRGC officer says

Photo: Reuters

IRAN AFFAIRS: What began as an economic grievance quickly snowballed into demands for change and an end to the Islamic regime that has held the country under its thumb for nearly 50 years.

'THEY LOVE Trump, they love America, but right now they feel abandoned, and it hurts.' Trump said he has no reason to strike, but protesters have been asking for US intervention and thousands of Iranian citizens have been killed since the protests began.

Over the past month, the people of Iran took to the streets to fight for their future. What started as an economic grievance turned fast into calls for revolution and the end of the Islamic regime that has crushed the country for nearly 50 years.

When President Trump promised to help the protesters, Iranians around the world felt real hope. Change seemed possible at last, but then he changed course, which left the people feeling abandoned and alone.

"They need the Americans. They depend on the Americans," Roni Insaz, an Iranian-born former member of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, told The Jerusalem Post. He said the US may be the Iranians' last hope for a better life.

Trump's reversal has the world watching with bated breath and we now see that anything could happen next. The president said he has no reason to strike as long as the regime stops executions, which it looks like haven't happened according to reports from within Iran. Protesters have begged for US intervention and Insaz asked, isn't that reason enough?

"There is enormous anger among the Iranian people currently toward Trump. He promised things, and now they feel he's backing away," Insaz said. "They love Trump, they love America – but right now they feel abandoned, and it hurts."

"It's very difficult for Iranian forces to kill Iranians, because they are the same people," he told the Post. In times of mass unrest, the IRGC brings in loyal militias from Syria, Lebanon, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. Those fighters have no problem shooting into crowds of Iranians. "They shoot at free people. You could say that the Iranian police or the revolutionary forces are not usually the ones who kill like this, and certainly not 35,000 or 40,000 people in two days. That's why they bring in special forces from outside to shoot and kill people," he said.

What sets this wave apart is the end of fear. Insaz said protesters no longer ask for small changes or policy tweaks. They demand the full dismantling of the system. This is a point of no return, and the regime knows it which is why it has unleashed unprecedented force. Executions and mass arrests serve as punishment and as a warning to stop others from joining. The regime's use of foreign militias and the mass killings became possible because of the digital blackout that started on January 8. Internet access has only started to return. Insaz said that terrifies the regime.

"They don’t care about people's lives, especially the outsiders; they don't care at all," he said. "But they are very afraid that what's happening will spread around the world and that people will see the murders."

When the IRGC cuts communications, it goes far beyond shutting down service. They confiscate phones, go door to door, and do whatever it takes to keep the truth hidden. Once the Internet is fully back, the world will see horrors not witnessed in many years. "I believe there is evidence of genocide in Iran, and I believe we will see it soon," he said.

‘Pahlavi Barmigardeh’

Even with Iran cut off from the world, one chant rings out across the diaspora: "Pahlavi Barmigardeh.' "Pahlavi will return." It echoes with "Javid Shah," "Long live the Shah." It calls for Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi to return nearly half a century after his father's exile.


"Reza Pahlavi was a guest in my home," Insaz shared. "I had a long conversation with him about Iran, first in 2022 and again in 2024. He said very clearly that the uprising depends on American support, and that it will happen.

"If the Americans give it a boost, it will happen," Insaz said. He still believes a US strike on Iran could come soon.

Insaz stressed that his hope for US help and a free Iran comes from the voice of an entire people, and aside from the Greta Thunberg crowd, it appears to be a strong voice.

Despite decades of regime hostility, he rejects the idea of permanent enmity between Iranians and Americans or Israelis that he sees as regime propaganda, not reality.

"The Iranian people are good people, strong people," he said. Many feel real affinity toward Israel and the Jewish people. The old bonds from the Shah’s time could return.

“They love Israel, they love Jews, and they want peace,” he said. "We could do very good business together. In the past, during the time of the shah, there was cooperation, tourism, strong ties. It will happen again, God willing."

His hope rests on faith. "With God's help, Iran will enter a new state," he said. A future shaped by the people, not the Islamic rulers.

Without strong global pressure, the regime will see silence as approval. The violence will grow, and for those in the streets risking everything, foreign support is not just words, it's a lifeline.

Born and raised in Iran, with family and friends still under the Islamic Republic, Insaz speaks for many. He calls on the world to stay engaged and alert. Refuse to accept repression through silence.

Until then, the most urgent demand is clear: Iran's future must not be forgotten. The voices seeking peace must be heard beyond its borders.

"The world must not be silent about what is happening in Iran. Do not stop thinking about Iran or its future. That’s what the Iranian people are asking for today," he concluded.

Iran-US tensions heating up again, folks. Same old song and dance from Tehran.

Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian went full blame game on Saturday, pointing fingers at President Donald Trump, Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu, and Europe for supposedly "stirring tensions" and "provoking" people during the recent protests rocking the Islamic regime. 

Sure, because nothing says "peaceful domestic unrest" like claiming the entire West is puppeteering your own citizens who are fed up.

Pezeshkian dropped this gem while Trump was sounding pretty confident the day before, telling reporters at the White House: "I can say this, they do want to make a deal." 

Classic Trump, dangling the carrot while waving the big stick.

Trump even threw in that he's set some mysterious deadline for Iran to start talking about their nuclear program and missiles (no word on what the actual cutoff is, of course). And just to make sure everyone gets the message, he bragged about the military buildup: "We have a large armada, flotilla, call it whatever you want, heading toward Iran right now." He added: "Hopefully we'll make a deal. If we do make a deal, that's good. If we don't make a deal, we'll see what happens."

Iran, predictably, shot back that their missile and defense capabilities are "never" up for negotiation. Shocking.

Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian 

On the side drama, Iran's secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, Ali Larijani, met with Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Friday. Details? Sparse. But AFP says Russia is offering to play mediator between the US and Iran. 

Imagine having Putin as the "neutral negotiator."

Meanwhile, the Trump administration slapped sanctions on Iran's interior minister Eskandar Momeni, accusing him of overseeing the repression that literally killed thousands of peaceful protesters. 

The whole mess kicked off with nationwide protests against the regime, escalating after Trump threatened action over the crackdown and moved that carrier strike group into the region. What started as pushing back on the violence has morphed into Trump's push for a shiny new nuclear deal.

So here we are: Iran pointing at everyone but themselves, Trump talking tough with ships on the way, and the mullahs still wondering why their people keep hitting the streets. Business as usual in the Middle East by the religion of peace.

Former Democrat State Rep. Forced to Resign: pleads guilty to felony fraud

Ajay Pittman (full name Ayshia K. "Ajay" Pittman) is a former Democratic state representative from Oklahoma but resigned due legal problems, to say the least.

Ajay "Not-so-Squared-Away" represented House District 99 (parts of Oklahoma City) in the Oklahoma House of Representatives from 2018/2019 until her resignation in late January 2026. 

Born on September 10, 1993, she is a member of the Seminole Nation of Oklahoma and the daughter of former state senator Anastasia Pittman. She made Democrat history as the first millennial woman and first second-generation woman to hold that seat, and she focused on issues like health equity, economic development, and community advocacy during her tenure, authoring or co-authoring over 160 pieces of legislation.

Her political career ended abruptly in January 2026 when she resigned and pleaded guilty to felony charges. These stemmed from an investigation by the Oklahoma Attorney General's office and the Oklahoma Ethics Commission. 

This lovely lady was accused of submitting a forged/falsified cashier's check (around $2,500) to the Ethics Commission in an attempt to avoid repaying misused campaign funds. She pleaded guilty to:

Conspiracy to Commit a Felony
Forgery in the Second Degree
Violating the Oklahoma Computer Crimes Act

This occurred just before the 2026 legislative session, and the seat became vacant following her resignation.

Pittman has a background in business administration, with professional development from Harvard Kennedy School, and has been involved in advocacy, including as a Senior Advocacy & Policy Strategist in intergovernmental affairs and community impact (per her LinkedIn).

She should have known better. Did I mention she's a Democrat?

Mamdani makes big move to ruin NYC and create bigger, better homelessness

New York City is about to earn a shiny new nickname: Tent City, Filth City, or maybe Lepto City, courtesy of that charming bacterial souvenir from homeless encampments.

New York's socialistically new mayor, Zohran Mamdani, has decided the NYPD should keep its hands off closing down these charming outdoor living rooms.

Ever since Mamdani teased this genius plan back in December, fresh encampments have been sprouting like weeds across neighborhoods. The fallout is a disaster for the folks actually living rough and for anyone trying to keep the city functional.

From Friday through Sunday night during that lovely bone-chilling winter storm, eight people turned up dead outdoors, likely homeless. Mamdani even admitted several were already known to the shelter system. Compassionate, right?

As these setups multiply, locals dial 311 in desperation, but the NYPD is now handcuffed. Even New York's Strongest, the sanitation crew, get orders to scoop up the trash and human waste but leave the mattresses, clothes, cardboard shanties, and all the rest exactly where they are. 

In other words, full maid service, zero actual cleanup of the hazardous junk pile.

City Councilwoman Joann Ariola watched this farce unfold along Jamaica Avenue, in Queens, and quipped, "What next, a city-funded turndown service?"

We should all be furious. Mamdani's serving up a twisted version of "compassion" for the homeless while flipping the bird to every resident and business owner stuck dealing with the fallout. These encampments drag in crime, garbage, and a general collapse of basic street decency.

They also invite lovely blasts from the past like leptospirosis, currently making the rounds in a Berkeley, California encampment. The bug hides in rat urine but spreads through tainted surfaces or puddles. The cold keeps it somewhat in check now, but come spring thaw, parents near these setups will be yelling at kids not to splash in puddles or paw random street junk.

Even fellow Democrats are losing it over Comrade Mamdani's refusal to act. Upper West Side Council Member Gale Brewer fumed, "You cannot have defecating, you cannot have food on the street, you cannot have all these boxes." 

But Mamdani's answer is apparently yes, you can.

His predecessor Eric Adams went hard the other way, clearing encampments and declaring, "We cannot tolerate these makeshift, unsafe houses on the side of highways, in trees, in front of schools, in parks. This is just not acceptable."

Mamdani's responded: "We are going to take an approach that understands its mission is connecting those New Yorkers to housing."

Sure, that's one job, Comrade Mayor. But you're also supposed to keep the rest of the city safe, livable, and appealing to the tourists and businesses that keep the lights on. This policy basically tells them all to pound sand.

No city should have to put up with sprawling encampments. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 2024 that towns can clear them. Justice Neil Gorsuch nailed it: otherwise, "with encampments dotting neighborhood sidewalks, adults and children in these communities are sometimes forced to navigate around used needles, human waste, and other hazards to make their way to school, the grocery store, or work."

Sound familiar, New York?

Since that ruling, even Democratic heavyweights like failed California Gov. Gavin Newsom and various mayors out west have cracked down hard.

Mamdani is sprinting in reverse, dooming Gotham to more crime and disease outbreaks. Los Angeles Police data from 2018-2022 showed the homeless were 1 percent of the population but 11 to 15 percent of violent crime suspects.

Nationwide, 13 percent of those in encampments are registered sex offenders. In states like Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island, it's a jaw-dropping 50 percent or higher, per the Cicero Institute. Yeah, that's exactly who you want your kids dodging on the walk to school or after dark.

Mamdani claims he's doing the right thing for the homeless, keeping their plight front and center to force housing solutions while they now freeze in their tents and cardboard boxes.

In reality, he's turning them into political props and making their situation worse. Street life slashes life expectancy by about 27 years on average. Crime, disease, overdoses under cardboard or on piss-soaked mattresses; that's the compassion we're witnessing.

Adams put it perfectly, calling out the nonsense: "there is nothing compassionate or 'progressive' about leaving people to freeze in makeshift encampments. It ... dehumanizes the very people who need help."

But hey, virtue signaling over results, the classic move.

Former teacher who accused GOP of being filled with pedophiles is busted for, guess what

Oh, sweet merciful karma, gather 'round children—well, not literally, because that's apparently a problem for some folks.

Picture this: Houston Curry Wade, 44, former part-time physics and astronomy instructor at Edmonds College, self-proclaimed astrophysicist/geologist/space scientist (because nothing says "trust me with complex theories" like calling yourself RockGod online), and Bainbridge Island resident.

This scumcrumpet spent years on X and elsewhere hurling "pedophile" like it was confetti at Republicans, Trump supporters, conservatives, and anyone who dared vote red. Trump? Pedo. Jim Jordan? Pedo enabler. Gaetz? Sex trafficker adjacent. The man had a one-note playlist and he cranked it to eleven.

Then December 17, 2025 rolls around, and Bremerton PD's finest roll up on him after he allegedly drives to a hotel expecting to meet an 11-year-old girl he'd been grooming online for months. 

Surprise! It was an undercover cop the whole time. 

They find the room prepped like a pervert's Amazon wish list: condoms, lube, bondage gear, adult toys, the full predator starter kit. 

Now he's staring down Class A felonies in Kitsap County: attempted first-degree child rape, first-degree child molestation, communication with a minor for immoral purposes, the works. Bond at $750k, still in the clink as of late January 2026. If convicted? Life. Yes, he can get literal life. Poetic justice doesn't even begin to cover it; this is schadenfreude so thick you could spread it on toast if you're a conservative or MAGA.

The irony is so dense it warps spacetime. The guy who weaponized "pedo" as his go-to insult against the right gets pinched in a child predator sting. It's like watching the vegan activist get caught running a secret butcher shop. The lefty activist crowd that loves projecting every moral failing onto conservatives just got served a heaping plate of mirror.

Conservatives on X are having a field day, naturally. 

Memes, popcorn gifs, the works. And honestly, after years of being called every name in the book by people like this, a little gleeful pointing and laughing feels earned. Not because anyone wishes harm on kids, quite the opposite, but because the hypocrisy is so blatant it practically glows in the dark.

Of course, innocent until proven guilty in a court of law, blah blah legal disclaimers. But the arrest, the charges, the hotel setup details from court docs? That's all public record now. And the old tweets are still there for everyone to screenshot and savor.

RockGod? More like CrashAndBurnGod.

Gov. Walz chickens out and will work with Trump and Homan

Minnesota's gone full clown show, and finally, that giggling maniac and Elmer Fudd Lookalike Contest Winner, Tim Walz, has decided to play nice, agreeing to chat with Trump officials after Border Patrol shot and killed Alex Pretti in Minneapolis last Saturday. Cue the predictable leftist meltdown, screaming "execution!" with zero proof, as usual. 

Meanwhile, some on our side jumped the gun claiming he was seconds from a mass shooting spree. Look, the guy was strapped at the protest, sure, but he didn't have his carry permit. Before you clutch your pearls, that's just a $25 fine in MN, not some felony strip-your-rights deal like domestic violence. And he also failed to carry any ID while remembering to carry an additional two loaded magazines for his weapon.

The whole thing turned into a messaging dumpster fire, so now Trump's riding in to mop it up, tapping Tom Homan as the go-to guy, probably not just for the state ops but to deal directly with Walz and sort this disaster. 

"The Governor made the case that we need impartial investigations of the Minneapolis shootings involving federal agents, and that we need to reduce the number of federal agents in Minnesota," his office wrote in a release.

Renee Good and Alex Pretti, both Minnesota residents and U.S. citizens, were fatally shot and killed by federal immigration officers in separate incidents in Minneapolis.

Trump agreed to talk to the Department of Homeland Security about ensuring the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension is able to conduct an independent investigation, Walz' office said, and also agreed to look into either reducing the number of federal agents in Minnesota or working with the state "in a more coordinated fashion on immigration enforcement regarding violent criminals."

Oh, so now you're all cooperation and "productive," Tim? 

For days you've been on a full-blown unhinged tirade against federal immigration officers, comparing it to the third day of Gettysburg, dropping not-so-subtle war-with-the-feds hints, and capping it off by equating your own state's descent into chaos (which you enabled) to Nazis hunting Anne Frank. It's deranged. You're deranged, Timmy. 

Screaming nonsense through a bullhorn while perched on a fence like a mental patient is not leadership; it's performance art for the asylum.

And surprise, your nonstop lies just got another American killed. But hey, maybe the real kicker is that leaked anti-ICE Signal chat blowing up over the weekend, courtesy of reporter Cam Higby. Turns out some top Minnesota Democrats, allegedly including Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan, were admins or dispatchers in a coordinated effort to track, obstruct, and interfere with ICE ops. Some might call that a how-to manual for domestic terrorism. 

Shocking, right? Not really, coming from this clown car.

Tim Walz does the left's signature' Nazi comparison: says MN now home to new Anne Frank story because he isn't very bright

√

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, that lovable Midwestern dad who once ran for VP and somehow forgot how to spell "accomplishment," decided Sunday was the perfect day to drop a Holocaust comparison bomb.

The failed Democrat vice presidential candidate told a press conference that immigration operations in Minnesota are basically straight out of Anne Frank's diary.

"We have got children in Minnesota hiding in their houses, afraid to go outside," lied Walz. "Many of us grew up reading that story of Anne Frank. Somebody is going to write that children's story about Minnesota." Yeah, where the Jewish Somali violent criminals were too scared to be seen on the street, lest they be carried off to a Mexican concentration camp or something similar.

This gem from Tampon Tim came right after a Customs and Border Protection agent shot and killed Alex Pretti, a nurse who was getting in the way of their work in the city. Pretti's death follows just weeks after Renee Good was shot and killed after trying to ram an ICE agent with her car in Minneapolis. Since Good's passing, rioters have turned up the heat on federal agents enforcing immigration law in Minneapolis, blocking them, threatening them, the whole charming package. Protesters love to greet the agents with uplifting slogans like "Kill An ICE, Save A Life," which is the opposite of saving a life. 

Walz, of course, pointed the finger straight at President Donald Trump for all the drama in his state. You would think with all Trump is accused of, his power knows no bounds and he controls the universe.

"There's one person who can end this now," Walz said, referring to the president. And by "this" the left means stopping law enforcement from removing dangerous criminals off the streets and when appropriate, deporting them from whence they came.

Timmy's outburst is just the latest chapter in his ongoing one-man show against federal immigration enforcement. Last year he called ICE agents "Trump's modern-day Gestapo." No wonder the simple-minded left is fired up to attack ICE officers.

 Other Dems like the corpulent Illinois Governor JB Pritzker and Boston Mayor Michelle Wu have pulled similar stunts.

Even newly-elected New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill jumped in Sunday, telling CNN that ICE is like the communist STASI, East Germany's secret police.

Trump administration folks fired back, saying Walz and other Minnesota leaders are basically cheering on "terrorism" against ICE agents now that threats and attacks have exploded since Trump took office.

"Minnesota insurrection is a direct result of a FAILED governor and a TERRIBLE mayor encouraging violence against law enforcement. It's disgusting, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche posted earlier this month. "Walz and [Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey] — I'm focused on stopping YOU from your terrorism by whatever means necessary. This is not a threat. It's a promise."

Ah, Timmy. Always ready to turn a routine enforcement action into Schindler's List: Minneapolis Edition. Classic Walz.

But one thing's for sure, if this creates violence on the streets, Walz will do what he's known for--the cut and run.
