The Secretary of the Iranian Supreme National Security Council, Mohsen Rezaei, apparently styles himself something of a historian of American history, or is angling for a plum job as a professor in an Ivy League university, or both. On Friday, Rezaei warmed the hearts of leftist historians all over the U.S. when he proclaimed that President Donald Trump is the "worst" president in U.S. history. Numerous socialist internationalist academics would agree.
"After one failure after another,” Rezaei fumed, “the worst president in American history just keeps talking — and talking — and now his words have even outrun his own fantasies. You can win every day in your own imagination.” Well, yeah, Mohsen, but that can cut both ways, now, can’t it?
In concluding, Rezaei claimed that “reality is shaped by Iran — by its people, its soldiers, and its missiles."
Later that day, however, Trump painted a vastly different picture of the Islamic Republic of Iran’s achievements and current capabilities: "They lost one set of leaders. Then they lost another set of leaders. Then they lost half of a third set, and they had a little runoff for who wants to be president and there were no participants. Everyone said, 'I don't, I don't want to be.'"
Trump was being satirical; Masoud Pezeshkian has been president of Iran since July 28, 2024. Pezeshkian, however, is not the head of state; the supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, holds that position, and has not been seen in public even once since he attained the top job. The word is that he was disfigured in the February strike that killed his father and predecessor; others contend that he is actually dead, but Iranian leaders pretend he is alive to give their tottering regime some legitimacy.
In fact, it’s not at all clear who is running things in Tehran, and Trump pointed out that this made trying to achieve a negotiated settlement difficult in the extreme: "And it's part of our problem,” he said. “I don't know who the hell to deal with. There's nobody to deal with. Nobody wants to be president, I'd say 'Who do I speak to in Iran?' They're not nobody around. Knock, knock. Nobody home. But that war is going to be over soon. One way or the other, one way or the other. It's going to end very soon and probably right after the midterms."
All right. In the meantime, going into those midterms, Rezaei has given the president the best possible endorsement. Who wouldn’t want a top leader of a bloodthirsty, repressive regime whom the overwhelming majority of its own people hate calling him the “worst” ever to hold his job?
This is because Rezaei is, of course, looking at Trump through the prism of what is good for his embattled but ruthless regime. He never would have dreamed of calling Barack Hussein Obama or Old Joe Biden the worst president in American history when they were showering billions upon the Islamic regime in Tehran. He never bestowed that title upon any of the presidents who kicked the can down the road on Iran, either.
The fact that Rezaei has now given Trump this title is the clearest indication we have had in quite awhile that Trump’s stance toward the Islamic Republic is making it feel the pain. Rezaei, of course, likely has never heard the names of Franklin Pierce, James Buchanan, or Andrew Johnson. He would be unlikely, given the international left’s high regard for the Islamic Republic, to give low marks to the likes of Woodrow Wilson and Franklin D. Roosevelt, as does the bookRating America's Presidents: An America-First Look at Who Is Best, Who Is Overrated, and Who Was An Absolute Disaster. Rezaei is simply venting his frustration at the man who has given the Islamic Republic such a hard time.
Trump promises that this hard time is going to continue. The Iranian people, and the free world, can only hope that the pressure on the Islamic Republic will finally cause it to fall, and to be replaced by a saner and more humane regime. Then Mohsen Rezaei can get a job as a professor of American history at Harvard, Yale, Georgetown, or some other America-hating university.
Abdul-El-Sayed appears on NBC’s Meet the Press on Sunday.
A fire fighters union in Michigan has yanked their support for far left Democrat Abdul El-Sayed in the race for U.S. Senate.
They’re now chalking the original endorsement up as a clerical error. Either way, it’s not a good look for El-Sayed, who has come under increased scrutiny in recent months.
The people who run big unions often endorse Democrat candidates, but the rank and file members tend to vote Republican. We have seen this happen again and again.
Michigan fire fighters union calls Abdul El-Sayed endorsement ‘clerical error’ — quietly erases from slate of supported candidates
The Michigan Professional Fire Fighters Union quietly removed U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed from its slate of endorsed candidates.
MPFFU President Matt Sahr told The Midwesterner the union’s slate of endorsed candidates initially went out to members on Sept. 11 or 12 with an endorsement for El-Sayed’s campaign prominently displayed at the top alongside Jocelyn Benson for governor and endorsements for the Michigan Supreme Court.
Fifteen days later, on Monday, MPFFU leaders sent out a revised slate of endorsements that replaced El-Sayed with an endorsement for Lt. Gov. Garlin Gilchrist for Secretary of State.
“Our intention was to stay out of that race,” Sahr said, adding the initial slate of endorsements “got distributed out before it got approved” and dismissed it as a clerical error.”…
At least one MPFFU member disputes that.
“This was not a clerical error. What we are seeing now is MPFFU leadership trying to sweep this under the rug. If rank-and-file members had not voiced our concerns, I have no doubt this organization would still be supporting Abdul El-Sayed over Mike Rogers,” a MPFFU fire fighter from southern Michigan told The Midwesterner.
If you take a shot at Americans, expect a response. In the Rio Grande Valley, Mexican drug cartels allegedly took shots at U.S. Coast Guard personnel. The incident occurred last Saturday near Garceno, Texas, and Coast Guard units reportedly returned fire. The incident remains under investigation. No casualties were reported, and no equipment was damaged. In response, 500 troops have been deployed to the area (via NewsNation):
Roughly 500 troops are deploying to Texas’ Rio Grande Valley this week, sources confirmed to NewsNation, as federal forces step up border operations following a shooting incident involving the Coast Guard.
[…]
“The Coast Guard works closely with U.S. Border Patrol, the Department of War and the Texas Military Department to secure the border, disrupt illicit activity and protect the American people,” the agency said in a statement.
[…]
From August to September, the military used a high-energy laser in the Rio Grande Valley to take down at least 11 cartel-linked drones, officials said. They said the effort supported activities that posed a physical threat to troops and Customs and Border Protection personnel.
The Rio Grande Valley Border Patrol Sector spans more than 320 river miles, 250 coastal miles and 19 counties. Threats there include cartels watching the movements of agents and troops, using drones to guide groups and smuggling drugs.
President Trump has called Mexican drug cartels the ISIS of the Western Hemisphere.
On Friday’s broadcast of CNN’s “OutFront,” House Minority Leader Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) responded to a question on whether he agrees with New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s (D) call for the United States to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and join the ICC by saying that “we can never allow another October 7 to happen, and we can never allow the type of death, devastation, and destruction that has occurred in Gaza over the last three years to happen.”
Host Erin Burnett said, “So, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is doubling down on his call for the Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, to be arrested over the war in Gaza…urging the United States to join the International Criminal Court, the ICC, to help make it happen.”
She then played video of Mamdani saying, “I believe that the U.S. government should join the ICC, it should enforce its warrants for every one that has been issued. And when it comes to the Prime Minister, it’s been issued for crimes — alleged crimes against humanity and war crimes. … When you ask me about the Prime Minister, we’re talking about the architect of a horrific genocide.” And “If I had my say, the U.S. government would have joined the ICC, honored every single warrant that they’ve issued.”
Burnett then asked, “Do you agree with Mayor Mamdani?”
Jeffries responded, “Well, what I can say — I haven’t talked to him about this particular foreign policy issue, or, for that matter, any foreign policy issue — he’s done a great job, he’s gotten off to a great start as Mayor of New York City, keeping the city safe and fighting for a more affordable New York. When it comes to the issue in the Middle East, I think what’s clear to me is that, one, we can never allow another October 7 to happen, and we can never allow the type of death, devastation, and destruction that has occurred in Gaza over the last three years to happen. We need to figure out a path toward a just and lasting peace, with a safe and secure Israel, a Jewish democratic state, living side-by-side with a Palestinian state with dignity and self-determination for the Palestinian people.”
Jordan Domingue, a top staffer who worked two of Abdul El-Sayed’s campaigns has quit the Democrat’s U.S. Senate race and is now talking. What he describes is a candidate who has faked his way through public life, right down to the “physician” title. This is a lengthy article, but every American needs to understand, from an insiders perspective, how dangerous this man would be if elected to the U.S. Senate.
Jordan Domingue and El-Sayed
In a post on X, Jordan Domingue outlines his decision to defect from Abdul’s campaign after working first on his failed gubernatorial campaign and again on his current Senate campaign.
“His foreign policy was driven by a desire to invoke what seemed like misplaced revenge.”
I protected Abdul for two years, I worked as his personal assistant/executive protection lead on his campaigns. I departed two jobs early from working abroad, moved to Michigan twice, and took paycuts averaging 50,000k.
I took his lovely wife to the hospital for visits when she was pregnant. His youngest daughter called me Mr. Jorjan. I painted him an original piece of artwork for his birthday.
I was happy to do and experience all of this. For his gubernatorial run he never mentioned foreign policy. During his senate run, his foreign policy was driven by a desire to invoke what seemed like misplaced revenge.
When I finally realized he didn’t actually care about civilians and peace, everything I had previously ignored or excused made it obvious to who he was and that I was on the wrong side.
Jordan Domingue’s profile on X reads more like that of a Republican: USMC Combat Veteran – International Security Professional – Bjj Brown Belt – Lockheed Liberal – Anti DSA – Democratic Field Organizer – Rugged Individual
Jordan Domingue
After leaving Abul’s campaign, Jordan Domingue became the founder of Democrats for Mike Rogers.
Domingue uses the Dems for Mike Rogers X account to expose the truth about El-Sayed’s support for Hezbollah and Hamas.
While the mainstream media would like everyone to believe El-Sayed is tied for the lead in Michigan, Democrats for Mike Rogers signs are appearing everywhere in a very liberal neighborhood near my home in Michigan.
We’ve selected just a few of Jordan’s tweets to give voters some insight into the real Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed. Our hope is that the former staffer’s messaging about why he quit Abdul’s campaign will provide some clarity about Michigan’s Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate from the perspective of an insider.
His management pushed multiple staff to tears—He acted like an entitled mobster
On September 17th he wrote, I’ll share insight as the campaign staff member who has to this day, had the most 1:1 time with him. The first person to see him in the morning and the last to see him at night. Some average of 6-7 days a week, 12-14 hr days, 50,000+ miles, hundreds of Harribo Halal Happy Colas, and so much more.
Abdul loves this Shakespeare quote and would say it almost daily when I worked for him. “Past is prologue.”
Though he doesn’t adhere to it, I like the question it asks. Who are we when no one is looking? Of all the opposition research on Abdul, the Mount Sinai lawsuit has been the most accurate from my experience at highlighting his character.As a 30-year-old leapfrogging into a job he was inexperienced for and only got through connections, the profile in the lawsuit is revealing.
Now I’m far from blameless, and will reflect for years on how I let myself be captured by loyalty and personality. When he acted liked an entitled mobster to elected officials in 2017-2018, I excused it as justified outsider earning their place.When he would say one thing to one group and another thing to a different group hours later, I considered it just the norm or “strategic ambiguity” as he calls it. When his management pushed multiple staff to tears and dangerous breaking points, in addition to them, I considered his stress.
I think documents like the Mount Sinai lawsuit tell the story of who he is, just as the Detroit News highlights who he wants you to forget. Past is absolutely prologue.
El-Sayed’s hatred for Jews
The former staffer used a tweet by El-Sayed mocking the decision of an IA researcher at Antropic to leave his job to compare his decison to leave El-Sayed’s campaign, citing El-Sayed’s hatred for Jews.
Did Abdul’s disdain for animals make it easy for him to head up a “slaughterhouse” for puppies and kittens in Detroit?
Jordan says he doesn’t believe Abdul actually hated animals; he just didn’t think they were worthy of being properly cared for.
A lot of people are saying he might be gay
Last month Abdul El-Sayed shared a campaign video of himself dancing to a Taylor Swift song where he appears to be tapping into his more feminine side. In the video, El-Sayed could be seen dancing like a teenage girl at a Swift concert, which sparked a lot of comments on social media questioning his masculinity. At around the same time, a “Blue’s Clues” themed campaign video was released, showing El-Sayed dancing and dressed as the very effeminate main character in the show, “Steve,” which seemed to trigger another uptick in social media users questioning his sexual preferences.
Watch:
Domingue Jordan had this to say about individuals questioning whether or not El-Sayed, is gay, which, of course, if true, would be the final nail in the coffin of the Sharia Law compliant Senate candidate’s campaign.
“A lot of people are saying he might be gay, and I think that is inaccurate.”
Jordan shared his take on El-Sayed’s bizarre and often immature behavior:
This behavior is best explained by the guy who never grew past the high school locker room. His masculinity is a performance, and he has the maturity to match it.
One of the most disrespectful and immature forms this was shown throughout my two years with him, was his love of farting. He would openly do so without warning or embarrassment as his form of stand-up comedy. To this day for him, the act of farting is easily one of the funniest things a person can do.
He repeatedly lies about his record of public service
Last week, Michigan reporter James Dixon shared a post about Abdul El-Sayed that questioned why he’s not telling the truth about his less than 3 years of public service, Dominque confirmed the terror-sponsored U.S. Senate candidate was indeed lying to prop up his phony image:
On the trail he likes to say he has “10 years of public service experience.” I knew that was a lie while working for him, but I also was surprised he would say it. Not because it was a lie, but because 10 years of public service work experience at 41 was embarrassing to me.
Using this as a way to credential yourself for the U.S. Senate, as someone who didn’t work a real job until 31 was deeply out of touch. I started working in lawn care everyday after school and during long summer days when I was 8 or so years old.

Democrats like El-Sayed put wokeness before the needs of everyday Americans
Losing the former combat Marine couldn’t have been easy for El-Sayed. Domingue seems to have his finger on the pulse of the Michigan voter and unlike Democrat leaders in Michigan, he isn’t so blinded by his hatred for those who don’t agree with him that he’s unable to make an honest assessment of his political opposition.
The former top aide for El-Sayed explains how woke Democrats no longer understand the working-class man and woman and why they now vote for Republicans.
A point that too many democrats don’t understand as they cling to death on “affordability”, and completely misunderstand the culture wars. People who work for a living. People whose labor is taxing on their body. People who have dirt or sometimes blood under their fingernails at the end of the 12hr day.
These people don’t trust the Democratic Party. They know that gas will still be high under the Democratic Party, because of climate initiatives instead of war. They know their economic situation won’t improve. They are red voters and will stay red voters because they know at least things won’t get weird again.
Watch the video Jordan is referring to in his post on “X,”—you won’t be disappointed.
Short man syndrome–Ivy League and lacrosse–Cartoonishly fake masculinity
A large number of political commentators have remarked about El-Sayed’s small stature and wondered out loud if he suffers from “short man syndrome.” Jordan addresses this issue in response to a compilation of clips where El-Sayed plays the “tough guy.”
Honestly was always one of the most annoying things about working closely with him. Most of these stories are fake. Funny thing is that they are a new feature, likely consultant crafted. He wasn’t like this in 2017-2018. Took him grappling once and he said he bruised a rib. That was a lie to not go again.
Abdul is lvy league and lacrosse to his core. If I could pass on one thing for anyone interviewing him, it is to look past the cartoonishly fake masculinity, and press on with hard questions/follow ups/rebuttals. He’s not going to hurt you, in fact he’s more likely to say you were aggressive or mean.
Abdul is a coward pretending to be a bully
Dominque warns anyone in the media interviewing him to ignore the tough guy act who doesn’t want to talk about Palestine.
To anyone in media interviewing him. Don’t let the appearance of toughness and his slightly antagonistic filibusters bully you. After he does his stunt just get to your questions. He will fold, and transition into the victim built on grievance, which is truly all he is.
Other Arabs/Muslims understand this, and put him in check all the time. What I find frustrating though is the man wants to be a U.S. Senator, made Israel – Palestine a core part of his primary, even based the conflict as the catalyst of his motivation to run. Yet wants to now not talk about it.

The “Manufactured Man”—How He and his family have a recorded history of disrespect for law enforcement
On July 28, El-Sayed was endorsed by the Wayne County Deputy Sheriff’s Association (a union). Although El-Sayed’s campaign video could certainly make you believe otherwise, the endorsement if from the deputies’ association, not the Wayne County sheriff as an office, and not a statewide deputies’ endorsement. The union claims it represents hundreds of Wayne County deputy sheriffs who handle court security, emergency response, and community outreach.
In a Sept 22 post on X, the former El-Sayed aide and confidante, has this to say about Abdul’s relationship and disrespect for law enforcement and the truth behind this phony campaign video,
A manufactured man. They even have the shot of him pretending to be “getting his kit” ( kit = weapons, plates, etc) out of the trunk. It’s meant to invoke he has worked in law enforcement or in protection industry. That isn’t the only clip or article covering another issue, in which he is using to lie as if it was law enforcement or crime related. I have a strong suspicion that this ad only stays on YouTube and doesn’t come to this platform.
It’s also interesting that the very deputies/sheriff’s office of wayne county (he doesn’t use the county in order to pretend it’s broadly statewide) that endorsed him, did so because they worked with at same county. This is how it was described to me gleefully. It wasn’t a serious endorsement meeting.They are personal friends, and it didn’t even include policy, awareness of his defund comments, philosohy on crime, and was conducted without meeting with other primary candidates. Suspiciously this support was quiet, and due to fear of leftist anti cop backlash.
Watch:
Domingue continues to expose the U.S. Senate candidate who, together with his family, despises law enforcement:
One of his biggest vulnerabilities has been crime and law enforcement given past comments. Additionally his half sister is charged with assault on law enforcement. However more pressing is a very recent murder in Detroit that likely will cause a big conversation on crime.
Currently Abdul and other leftist are having a moment where they have to hide or lie about their support of defunding the police, ending cash bail, emptying the jails or whatever mythical elitist critical theory nonsense they came up with to crime. The very policy positions that kill members of the working class.
If Abdul were an honest man, he would just say he was wrong. Say he is here to listen and learn. Instead we get this weird cosplaying chamelon. I hope @MIPOAM (Police Officers Association of Michigan), loudly highlight this chameleon candidate.
And this is where we will end this eye-opening expose on the real Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed. “If Abdul were an honest man…”
After working with him for several years, Jordan Dominque made the decision to tell the truth about the dangerous and deceitful “manufactured man.” We are grateful to him for his courage and his willingness to share what he knows about the man who wants to become the next U.S. Senator from Michigan.
Shouldn’t every Michigan voter, regardless of party or religious beliefs, be concerned about a man who bullies his staff, lies incessantly to the media, sympathizes with terrorists and accepts money from terror groups? Are voters okay with El-Sayed buddying up to radical lawmakers like Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar, who put the interests of Hamas before those of their constituents? And finally, isn’t the whole purpose of becoming a “public servant” to serve your constituents and not to become a U.S. Senator because you’re hungry for power?
