Freedom For Iran Demonstration In Washington, DC On January 17, 2026

Dorood.  I attended the Freedom For Iran Demonstration in Washington, DC earlier today.  The matter in the Iranian nation is absolutely dire.  Murders are likely in the five digits now.  The mullahs cannot be trusted with halting executions.  There must be regime change just as there has already been a need for regime change.  This is now my third decade being present at and blogging about Iran demonstrations and rallies (2000s, 2010s and 2020s).  This must be the year.  Iranians support the United States Of America launching specific strikes against clerical regime members and facilities.  This particular demonstration began at the White House and ended up at the Washington Monument.

The Regime In Iran Proposes A Monthly Stimulus Check In An Effort To Quell Protests

The Iran Freedom Movement continues.  The regime, in an effort to quell the protests, has proposed a monthly stimulus check.  The amount of each check ... seven dollars ($7.00).  Seriously.

January 12, 2026: American Citizens Are Told To Evacuate Iran NOW

BREAKING NEWS FROM THE U.S. GOVERNMENT IN REFERENCE TO IRAN: American citizens are told to evacuate Iran NOW (I am not sure why they are there at all).  The accessible land borders are Armenia, Turkey and Turkmenistan.  Azerbaijan is not a viable choice at present.  American-Iranian dual nationals must exit Iran on Iranian passports due to likely detention and interrogation of U.S. nationals by regime members.  The Switzerland Embassy's Foreign Interests Section in Tehran can be a last resort.  Specifics are in the attached link.  NOTE: Changes can happen by the minute.  The webpage is listed as January 13, 2026 because it is already the 13th in Iran.

20260107: A Call For Chants And Slogans In Support Of The Protesters In Iran This Thursday And Friday

Dorood!  Dorood Bar Shoma!  Chetori?  Namme man hast Michael.

Hello, everyone.  This is Michael.  It is January 07, 2026.  RPII - Reza Pahlavi The Second has called for everyone, on the streets or within their homes, to provide chants and slogans at 08:00 PM this Thursday and Friday, January 08 and 09.  This is an important step in supporting the Iranians on the streets and also aiding in the impeding doom of the mullah regime.  As some of you know (on various social media and blog websites), I have supported the Iranian protesters ever since the Green Movement days.  Remember that?  In 2009, I took an interest in, what would be, the disputed election and the subsequent demonstrations and brutal crackdown by the regime.  In that era, I used to spend spent hours a week if not hours a day reading and researching and learning about the reality on the ground in Iran.  Every September from 2009 to 2013, I attended the Freedom For Iran demonstrations near the United Nations building in New York.  I stopped in 2013 because, at that point, they were mujahedin parties.  Those of you who were present back then ... you know exactly what I am talking about.  Since that time, I continued to follow what was happening in Iran.  Right now, this is as close as it has ever gotten to the fall of the ayatoilet and the mullahs.  Azadi Baraye Iran.  Mag Bar Dictator.  Mamnoon.  Sepas.  I hope to see all of you on January 08 and January 09 either on the streets or in your home.  Thank you, everyone.  Goodbye.

2026 Twelfth Night Celebration With A 1700s Wassail Drink Recipe Vegan And Organic

It is January 05, 2026.  This evening, I am celebrating Twelfth Night.  Have you heard the song "The Twelve Days Of Christmas"?  This is the Twelfth Day.  In honor of the occasion, I have brewed a traditional 1700s-style wassail drink.  The ingredients include water, cane sugar, cranberries, blueberries, apples, orange, nutmeg, clove, ginger, cinnamon and cinnamon sticks.  This drink is vegan and organic.

First, I boiled the water, sugar and cranberries as if I were to make cranberry sauce.  I did just that and then added water to the top of the pot creating cranberry juice.  I then transferred that juice to a pot containing the remaining ingredients.

As it was boiling, the aroma was magnificent.  The stairwell nearby smelled like an all-natural air freshener.  The taste is just as wonderful.

I thank all of you for watching, and I wish you a very Happy Twelfth Night.

GrossMos! Flying Dino By MGA Entertainment, Inc. Toy Review On January 04, 2026

It is January 04, 2026, and I have a toy review for you.  I purchased a GrossMos! Flying Dino by MGA Entertainment, Inc. toward the end of last year.  It is wild and crazy and spontaneous to an extent.

*The battery cover must be removed via the small screw

*The toy requires three AAA batteries

*There are three dinos in the series in blind box fashion

*The instructions will mention the taping and the timing

*The dino will fly out quickly and in a haphazard manner so much space is needed

*It will fly for a long time ... longer than I had anticipated

*The toy cost $9.99 plus tax

My verdict: It is very cool.  I mentioned that it was very good in the video.  Now that I have had time to think, I give it a review of excellent.  It does what it advertises itself to do with a surprising amount of in-air time.  I thought that it would be merely up and down similar to a parachute soldier.

A Twelfth Night Celebration At Hancock House In Hancock's Bridge, NJ On January 03, 2026

Hancock House in Hancock's Bridge, New Jersey hosted its annual "A Twelfth Night Celebration" late this past afternoon into this evening.  This 1700s celebration is part of "The Twelve Days Of Christmas" that will be familiar to most of you.  Some of you will recall my visit to Hancock House for last year's Twelfth Night event (Link: https://michael-the-researcher.blogspot.com/2025/01/a-twelfth-night-celebration-at-hancock.html ).

Hancock House was built in 1734 and was the site of the bayonet killing of multiple people by British troops called "Queen’s Rangers" on March 21, 1778.  I will trek back to the house on March 21, 2028 for the semiquincentennial of this Revolutionary War massacre.

As for tonight, one theme was the burning of tea to protest the controversial tax.  Music was performed by "Forbes Road Frolic".  The recorded songs are "The Ash Grove", "Nottingham Ale" and "O, Good Ale".  I listened to a mix of songs on the way to the event, and one of those songs was "Nottingham Ale".  I mentioned that to the band.  A little girl and a little boy liked the outfit that I wore.
