He is trying to arrive at a practical settlement with a people who live in an eschatological ecosystem focused on a divinely appointed future and not primarily on politics. Money and power for the Iranian regime may be nice in the interim, but are essentially means to an end that have little to do with prosperity and stability. Shia communicants are committed to the emergence of end-times, to the culmination of history as we know it. All arrangements are transitory in the light of an immanent finality.]]>Tue, 23 Jun 2026 11:45:00 -0400<![CDATA[David Solway]]>https://pjmedia.com/david-solway-2/2026/06/23/iran-neither-mend-nor-end-n4954276<![CDATA[Hello, and welcome to Tuesday, June 23, 2026. I'm glad you're here for our daily visit. Today is National Pecan Sandies Day and National Hydration Day, which makes sense to me; I always need a drink with shortbreads. And today is Let It Go Day — a day to release grudges and move on. Today is also the birthday of the Coast Guard Auxiliary.&nbsp;]]>Tue, 23 Jun 2026 10:52:00 -0400<![CDATA[Eric Florack]]><![CDATA[Keir Starmer]]><![CDATA[United Kingdom]]>https://pjmedia.com/eric-florack/2026/06/23/starmers-gone-who-will-the-next-fool-be-n4954269<![CDATA[“Multiple drones interconnected and moving as one with smaller drones below the bigger drones like legs,” shot down a U.S. Air Force F-15E strike fighter over Iran in April, according to a CNN source familiar with the apparently bizarre shootdown. “Real alien s***," they called it.]]>Tue, 23 Jun 2026 10:35:00 -0400<![CDATA[Stephen Green]]><![CDATA[China]]><![CDATA[Iran]]><![CDATA[Military]]><![CDATA[Operation Epic Fury]]>https://pjmedia.com/vodkapundit/2026/06/23/so-a-jellyfish-swarm-might-have-shot-down-f15-over-iran-n4954272<![CDATA[Texas is the Democrat Party's white whale. Every election cycle, the party convinces itself this is finally the year the state turns blue, and every election cycle, Texas tells it to pound sand. It got fooled again in 2024, when polling suggested that the state was within reach. It wasn't. Donald Trump won Texas by 14 points, and no amount of wishful thinking from Democrat strategists changes the fact that a state like Texas isn't about to send a Trump-endorsed candidate's creepy opponent to the Senate.]]>Tue, 23 Jun 2026 09:20:00 -0400<![CDATA[Matt Margolis]]><![CDATA[2026 Elections]]><![CDATA[Democrat Party]]><![CDATA[Ken Paxton]]><![CDATA[Senate]]><![CDATA[Texas]]>https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2026/06/23/democrats-just-got-brutal-news-about-their-texas-senate-dream-n4954270<![CDATA[A 2023 investigation by&nbsp;the Associated Press&nbsp;into the more than $4 trillion in COVID relief funds found that recipients either stole or wasted at least one out of every 10 dollars that Congress authorized.&nbsp;]]>Tue, 23 Jun 2026 09:08:00 -0400<![CDATA[Rick Moran]]><![CDATA[Congress]]><![CDATA[COVID-19]]><![CDATA[Government Shutdown]]><![CDATA[IRS]]>https://pjmedia.com/rick-moran/2026/06/23/a-simple-tool-already-available-to-states-could-save-tens-of-billions-of-dollars-in-fraud-n4954267<![CDATA[Bless Your Heart, Jon.]]>Tue, 23 Jun 2026 08:39:00 -0400<![CDATA[Amy Denton]]><![CDATA[2026 Elections]]><![CDATA[Democrat Party]]><![CDATA[Georgia]]><![CDATA[Illegal Alien]]><![CDATA[Jon Ossoff]]>https://pjmedia.com/amy-denton/2026/06/23/bless-your-heart-jon-n4954264<![CDATA[Top O' the Briefing]]>Tue, 23 Jun 2026 00:28:00 -0400<![CDATA[Stephen Kruiser]]>https://pjmedia.com/stephen-kruiser/2026/06/23/the-morning-briefinguk-is-probably-in-for-more-steaming-piles-of-what-hasnt-worked-n4954239<![CDATA[The same terrorist regime has controlled Iran for nearly 50 years, and its leaders appear increasingly confident that they will be rewarded rather than punished for the heinous massacres of civilians carried out across the Middle East in recent years.

His most famous encounter was when he killed Kojiro, “Demon of the Western Provinces,” with a bokken he carved from a spare oar during the boat ride to the duel site. Kojiro was furious that Musashi had arrived hours late, with only a piece of wood in his hand. Sensing his blinding anger, Musashi told him, “You have already lost,” and so he had.]]>Mon, 22 Jun 2026 19:36:00 -0400<![CDATA[David Churchill Barrow]]><![CDATA[Firearms]]><![CDATA[Gun Rights]]><![CDATA[Gun Violence]]><![CDATA[History]]><![CDATA[Law and Order]]>https://pjmedia.com/david-barrow/2026/06/22/wyatt-earp-american-samurai-n4954249<![CDATA[Dear Tucker,]]>Mon, 22 Jun 2026 19:10:00 -0400<![CDATA[David Manney]]><![CDATA[Tucker Carlson]]>https://pjmedia.com/david-manney/2026/06/22/dear-tucker-carlson-spare-us-the-tormented-routine-n4954257<![CDATA[For years, Democrats told you that the border crisis wasn’t real, or that it was real, but it was a good thing. I guess the theory was that having a huge influx of immigrants meant cheap labor, which was great for everyone. It didn’t really work out that way. Not only did it cause all sorts of crime problems, but it also caused a major housing problem. Immigrants were coming into this country really, really, really fast under Joe Biden, and so available housing declined and rents went up.]]>Mon, 22 Jun 2026 17:50:59 -0400<![CDATA[Matt Margolis]]><![CDATA[Border Security]]><![CDATA[Donald Trump]]><![CDATA[Economy]]><![CDATA[Illegal Immigration]]><![CDATA[Joe Biden]]>https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2026/06/22/heres-how-trump-brought-down-rent-prices-leftists-wont-be-happy-n4954252<![CDATA[Federal authorities have arrested an illegal alien teacher in Illinois, not simply because she is in the country in violation of our laws, but because she is apparently complicit in a terrorist cartel mass shooting.]]>Mon, 22 Jun 2026 17:15:29 -0400<![CDATA[Catherine Salgado]]><![CDATA[DHS]]><![CDATA[Illegal Alien]]><![CDATA[Illinois]]><![CDATA[Mass Shooting]]><![CDATA[Tren de Aragua]]>https://pjmedia.com/catherinesalgado/2026/06/22/illinois-illegal-alien-teacher-linked-to-tren-de-aragua-mass-shooting-n4954250<![CDATA[All Rep.
