Living large in the ‘Great Satan’ – Latest News
Seldom has “good riddance” tripped more simply from the tongue.
It’s gratifying to see the Trump Administration expel overseas nationals who get pleasure from US freedom whereas cheering US enemies.
In current weeks, The California Post has reported extensively on Iranian nationals — largely, the pampered kin of regime elites in Tehran — dwelling posh lives in the United States.
For Americans, that’s galling.
It may also be a menace to national security.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio will get that, and has systematically revoked the inexperienced playing cards of overseas guests linked to US foes. Good.
The State Department introduced more (pending) expulsions on Saturday, — after authorities nabbed Seyed Eissa Hashemi, the son of a propagandist dubbed “Screaming Mary” for her vile anti-US rhetoric.
LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM – 2026/03/15: Pro-Iranian regime British-Iranians maintain aloft posters of the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei who was killed in the joint US-Israeli assault. Many 1000’s congregated in Central London… SOPA Images/LightRocket by way of Getty Images
The mouthpiece mother, Masoumeh Ebtekar, was a shameless flack for the militants who kidnapped 52 Americans from the US Embassy in Tehran in 1979 and held them captive for 444 days.
And now her household lives — lavishly — in the lap of the similar “Great Satan” she long and loudly despised?
No. We don’t assume so.
Foreign nationals who condemn America, promote US enemies, and ally with those that would destroy the West have no business dwelling in the United States.
So it’s great that Trump & Co. have yanked inexperienced playing cards for the kin of Iranian menaces, together with:
The niece and grand-niece of the late Quds Force chief Qassem Soleimani.
Three members of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
And the daughter of Iran’s former national security adviser.
Sayonara, all.

Consider, for a second, the case of Soleimani’s niece.
The feds accused Hamideh Soleimani Afshar of spreading Iranian propaganda, cheering assaults on US forces, lauding Iran’s new Supreme Leader, and (of course) blasting America as the “Great Satan” — all from the consolation of LA.
It makes one surprise, doesn’t it? If they honestly imagine the US is the “GS,” then why settle and make a life right here?
Such hypocrisy is hardly new, with a path of different circumstances stretching back years. But a lack of novelty doesn’t make the conduct any much less repugnant.
These elites’ posh US lives are additionally an insult to Iranian Americans and the people of Iran who despise a merciless regime that has tormented and oppressed them for many years.
In December and January, Iran’s authorities slaughtered 1000’s of Iranians for demanding freedom and regime change.
Many proud Iranian Americans, together with these in “Tehrangeles” in West LA, have kin who proceed to dwell underneath brutal situations back in Iran.
Those allied with Iran’s regime terrorists have no place right here. Kudos to Rubio for expelling them.
