Would you, as a man living in the 21st century, go to a concert, stadium, or cinema if women were kicked out from the same place? Today marks three years since the killing of Zhina #MahsaAmini a young woman murdered by the hijab police, whose name ignited a revolution. The regime

Tomorrow's anniversary of #MahsaAmini's murder in #Iran would be a good day to implement the #MAHSAAct. But for some unexplained reason, two administrations have not done so despite it being U.S. law.

Today marks 3 years since the murder in custody of Jina Mahsa Amini by the Islamic Republic in Iran. Her name lit a flame the Islamic Republic cannot extinguish. That flame burns in every Iranian who still risks everything for freedom. #WomanLifeFreedom

Under Petro’s misguided leadership, coca cultivation & cocaine production in Colombia has increased to historic levels. The U.S. is grateful to Colombian law enforcement and security forces who confront the narco-terrorists and we commend their courage, skills & sacrifices.
