I caught the spontaneous Iranian celebration in Westwood. It opened my heart wide.

I couldn’t help it. I broke down and cried when the Persians blared The Village People’s “YMCA” from loudspeakers on Sunday, as thousands gathered for blocks around L.A.’s Westwood Federal Building to celebrate Trump’s war on the diabolical regime in Iran and the killing of its Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. I hadn’t felt such overwhelming joy since Trump’s victory in 2016. It was infectious. The Iranians had ample cause to celebrate. 47 years of evil theocratic oppression. 47 years of women and gays not having the most basic rights. 47 years of Iran threatening the U.S., Israel, and their neighbors with nuclear annihilation. Enough!Yet the Leftist Democrats just sat on their hands today or openly opposed this transformative moment for Iran and the Iranian people. It’s as if they prefer Iranians to still be in chains. The contrast was stark and revealing. LA is home to the largest concentration of Iranians outside Tehran. Many had settled in and around Westwood, earning the area the nickname “Tehrangeles.” In a city filled with violent inhinged Woke leftists, who will openly attack Trump supporters in the streets, they had the courage to wear MAGA hats. They had the courage to show the world that Iranians and Israelis can live in peace. Flags from both countries, along with the U.S. flag, were proudly displayed. They had the courage to show fierce and unapologetic pride in America. That’s who legal immigrants are. They get America. They also represented the largest contingent of face-lifted women I have ever seen, but that’s L.A., so it’s par for the course, and can hardly be held against people and families who have endured so much trauma and turmoil. Goodbye to the benighted leftists seeking to bring this country down. This was a day of genuine liberation for the Persian people. I was so honored to be a small part of it.
