In 1992, Denmark took in 321 Palestinians. Of the 321, 204, or 64%, have been fined or received jail time for crimes. A very large proportion of them are receiving some kind of welfare, especially the “early pension,” which is mostly used for the handicapped, and now immigrants who are useless in the job market.

With Islamic Republic of Iran’s (IRI) growing nuclear and cyber threats, it is curious that the Democratic Party in this country still panders to the regime. IRI is not a friend of the free — so why do some in this country, particularly those on the Left, insist upon capitulating to the Islamic extremists?  There is an episode of “The Twilight Zone” (the original version) that speaks to this unholy alliance. In “People are Alike All Over,” two astronauts from Earth, Marcusson and Conrad, crash their spaceship on Mars, which is habited by intelligent life. Marcusson dies from the crash — but before their departure, he assures Conrad not to worry about the aliens, for “people are alike all over.” He is an optimist and sees the best in everyone. Conrad, however, doesn’t see the inherent good in others like his late partner and is fearful of the Martians. He imagines the worst. But it seems Marcusson was correct not to worry. The beings, far advanced beyond humans, assist the stranded Conrad and provide him with food and comfortable shelter; they seem generous and eager to share with him. The twist — and there is always a twist with “The Twilight Zone” — is that the well-furnished house provided by the aliens is actually a cage. It is a zoo exhibit complete with a sign on the outside reading, “Earth Creature in His Native Habitat.” Conrad is imprisoned for the rest of his life. In this chilling ending, he stares in horror at the ogling crowd of extraterrestrials and realizes Marcusson was unwittingly still right: people are alike all over. This episode first aired in 1960. For this day and age, I echo Conrad and warn the Democratic Party: Islamists are alike all over. Islamists are fundamentalist Muslims whose ultimate goal is world domination. Islamists hunger to subjugate others, truly the rest of the world, under Sharia. As such, they loathe the West, especially the United States. They view freedom enshrined in the U.S. Constitution not as fundamental human rights but as blasphemy and satanic. They include the likes of ISIS and the Taliban, Islamic groups whose atrocities are widely condemned throughout the West. And importantly: Islamists are also the Islamic regime in Iran. But just like the Martians in “The Twilight Zone,” the mullahs of IRI obfuscate their true nature. They speak our language by calling their politicians “reformists.” They ease our discomfort by depicting popular support for the regime. But do not be fooled like poor Conrad. This is propaganda. Their cruelty equals that of ISIS and the Taliban. IRI is not as open with their torture and executions as ISIS was, but these are daily state-sanctioned practices. So how do we avoid Conrad’s fate? How can we escape caging ourselves and foregoing our autonomy? I propose a simple method: Imagine the Supreme Leader of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, is Osama Bin Laden. How would you feel about the United States giving Bin Laden billions of dollars? How would you feel about Bin Laden’s agents working as advisors to American politicians? How would you feel about Bin Laden sympathizers receiving American funding for research that would be shared with Al Qaeda?  Islamists are alike all over. When September 11 happened, the Islamic Republic of Iran celebrated. I was nine-years-old at the time and remember receiving candy at my school in Tehran. The largest terror attack on American soil, nearly 3,000 Americans dead — this was joyous news. Do we really want to engage with a regime — and its apologists — that cheer our death? What happens to those who open their doors to these extremists? Look at Afghanistan to find the answer. Or Iraq. Or Yemen. We cannot tolerate this evil. Our democratic pillars are strong, but they can still crack. Tickets for “Am I Racist?” are on sale NOW! Buy here for a theater near you. The U.S. government should investigate domestic ties to the Islamic Republic more rigorously. Anyone with connections to the Islamic regime should not be given visas to come to this country. Additionally, the American public needs to understand the truth, that the Islamic Republic of Iran is ISIS by a different name. It is the Taliban. It is Al Qaeda. Knowing this will help the American people hold their leaders accountable, whether by ballot or other means. “The Twilight Zone” is a fun show to watch—from the security of your couch. Its chilling twist endings provide rich entertainment. Its themes, often of human nature, help us ponder philosophical questions. Rod Serling’s timeliness narration deliciously haunts us through the screen. It is fun escapism, but no one actually wants to live in “The Twilight Zone.” * * * William Mehrvarz was born and raised in the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Just hours before the Miami Dolphins were set to kick off against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday, star Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill was detained by police following a traffic violation. It is unclear what the traffic violation entailed or what happened when Hill was pulled over, but the situation somehow escalated, resulting in Hill being handcuffed face down on the ground, according to video of the incident. Video of Tyreek Hill’s arrest today: pic.twitter.com/Kope2Ma6tk — Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) September 8, 2024 A second Dolphins player, defensive tackle Calais Campbell, said he was also handcuffed after he tried to discuss the situation with officers, CNN reported. Hill was released shortly after the detainment, and Miami-Dade Police Department (MDPD) Director Stephanie V. Daniels said that the department was investigating the incident. “Following the incident involving Tyreek Hill, I have initiated an Internal Affairs investigation to ensure a thorough review of the matter. One of the officers involved in the incident has been placed on administrative duties while the investigation is conducted,” Daniels said in a statement posted to X. “I’m committed to transparency and accountability to the community with any situation involving my officers.” Hill said during a postgame press conference that he doesn’t know why he was handcuffed, insisting he wasn’t disrespectful to the police. Tickets for “Am I Racist?” are on sale NOW! Buy here for a theater near you. “I wasn’t disrespectful because my mom didn’t raise me that way, didn’t cuss, didn’t do none of that. Like I said, I’m still trying to figure it out,” Hill said, according to CNN. The Dolphins also released a statement regarding the incident prior to the game. “This morning, WR Tyreek Hill was pulled over for a traffic incident about one block from the stadium and briefly detained by police,” the Dolphins said on X. “He has since been released. Several teammates saw the incident and stopped to offer support. Tyreek and all other players involved have safely arrived to the stadium and will be available for today’s game.” The Dolphins – with Hill’s help – beat the Jaguars after overcoming a 14-0 deficit. Hill had seven catches for 130 yards and a touchdown. During his touchdown celebration, Hill placed his hands behind his back in an apparent nod to his arrest earlier in the day. Campbell, the other player placed in handcuffs, said that the incident highlighted the team’s “resilience.” “But that just goes to show how our resilience though. We didn’t let that stop us,” Campbell said. “We just got back in line, got focused again, and went out there and played a good football game. But that definitely was an interesting way to start a ballgame.” Following the game, Hill’s agent Drew Rosenhaus told CNN that his legal team would “pursue this matter” and “consider legal action.” “What happened today to Tyreek at the stadium is completely unacceptable,” Rosenhaus told the outlet. “Tyreek did not deserve to be treated that way by the police involved.” The agent told ESPN that the incident unnerved Hill. “The most important thing is that Tyreek is OK physically. Mentally, he was very distraught about what happened,” Rosenhaus said on ESPN, according to CNN. “Tyreek has told me over and over he’s a big supporter of police. He was telling the police there, ‘I want to be a police officer in the future.’ But this is crazy, I’ve never seen anything like this.”

Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders said during an interview this week that she believes this week’s presidential debate is going to be more important for Vice President Kamala Harris than former President Donald Trump because Harris has avoided answering questions and sitting down for interviews. Sanders made the remarks during a Sunday interview on ABC News’ “This Week” while discussing how Trump is preparing for Tuesday’s debate. “I think it’s actually more important for Vice President Harris, somebody who doesn’t speak to the media, doesn’t take questions — in fact, at the end of this interview, I will have done more interviews during this election cycle than she has since becoming the Democrat nominee for president,” Sanders said. She continued, “It is absurd that she does not take questions from the press, from the American people, and so I think this is actually a much more important night for her because it’s so rare that we hear from her, that we hear her take questions, or that we know anything that she actually stands for.” Sanders said that Trump has been preparing every day for the debate throughout the entire campaign cycle because he travels around the country, talks to voters, and answers media questions often.

This is not something that is a heavy lift for him,” Sanders said. “I think that’s why you’re hearing so much about the preparation for Vice President Harris because this isn’t something she does very often, and I think she has a lot to get ready for, and I don’t think that she’s up to the challenge, in large part, not just because I don’t know that she’s a great debater, but she’s so wrong on the issues that Americans care about, and she has a terrible track record to talk about.” Sanders said that Trump will enter the debate from a position of strength because of his record as president while Harris has been tied to foreign policy disasters, the inflation crisis, and the border crisis.
