PDJT is in charge, make no mistake about that. With one word he could level Iran, leave it without roads, bridges, and power plants. No electricity makes life very difficult for “those in charge”.
But PJDT is a man of Peace, yet is willing and strong enough to use overwhelming force when required.
He knows that if America prospers, the free world prospers.
While the inbred communists in our Nation primp and pose, our Lion protects this Nation and her citizens.
They hate him because he gets things done and shows the country, every day, what a useless herd of slugs we have in our bloated government.
May GOD Almighty continue to bless and protect President Donald J. Trump and these United States of America.
Democrats are slugs who only exist because they live on the backs of productive Americans who still love the country. Democrats are worthless leeches who focus on "distribution" because they can't create anything themselves so they must steal the output of others to survive.
Agree. Iranian statements about the mou or anything really, are for the USA media. This misinformation is used to inflame the stupid and uninformed. Not the first time either. Vietnam was a war won twice by the USA but the media framed it as a loss run by incompetents.
Imagine these people in ww2, oh give Japan the raw materials to takeover all Eastern Asia. Who cares if the Germans rule Europe? Anything just so we don’t ration flour, sugar, meat, gasoline etc.
She was a manicurist? A white manicurist! Who ever heard of such a thing! Thought that was a job Americans won’t do.
Well put, good sir. Trump didn't do what Clinton did in Serbia (bombed power plants, bridges, and schools). And I applaud him for that. He surgically decapitated an evil regime. Now they have nothing to fight back with and won't for generations or more... all we have to do is let the man do what he does best and all will be well.
God bless our troops and President Trump. And God bless America.
Disappointing that the price of gasoline at American pumps is the determining factor as to whether the barbarians obtain nuclear weapons. If there was a loyal opposition party in this country it wouldn’t be this way. Just what the world needs, another NK but with an Islamic death cult at the trigger.
Absolutely! I’m old but I have very young grandchildren. They live in the DC area. I’d happily pay a whole lot more for gas if it means that they don’t have the possibility of an Iranian nuke hitting our Capital.
And the higher prices we have are nothing compared to what our parents and grandparents went through with the Depression and WWI and WWII. Notwithstanding the deliberate increase in inflation during the alleged Biden presidency.
That deliberate inflation should be sufficient cause to put many Democrats in prison and "distribute" their assets to those in need. Inflation is actually a form of robbery where they blatantly steal the value of OUR money so they can pay back the loans they have made with cheaper money. It is insidious and people should be brought to account for this monstrous stealing of people's life savings. They are all dirty rotten scumbags.
How about Social Media today when Trump announces Effective July 4, 2026, US will institute odd & even days to fill up your car/Tesla with gas/electricity......and your iPhone (no Android phones get to eat), will get $50 worth of 'protein food credits' each month.....and you need to sign up for the lottery to get new tires for your car(s).....
Hah! In the late 70s my dad offered me money toward my first car if I would get a station wagon. He wanted to get a small car to drive back and forth to work, but if the whole family needed to go somewhere, we still needed a wagon. I loved that car. My friends and I were all skinny then and we could fit a crowd to go to the drive-in.
I agree. the USA has its share of whiners. easy for me to say, I don't have to drive many miles. history teaches that societies have to pay dues to stay around. complacency, "spoiled-ness", comfort breeds failure in the long run. and they are the great leaders who occasionally force such on their citizens.
What is disappointing to me is the NYMEX is not America First! Always remember Joe Kennedy was parading down Wall Street in a chauffeured Rolls Royce while the vast majority of citizens were standing in food lines! This is not just about Barbarians with Nukes, it is about profiteering by a few, in positions to take advantage of a crisis!
The propaganda war matters now. The Deep State-media complex wants Americans to see victory as surrender, restraint as weakness, and negotiation as capitulation. That is how they launder failure while attacking success. Trump does not need to trust Tehran to dominate Tehran. If Iran’s money, ports, nuclear program, and regional behavior are now subject to American leverage, then the ayatollah’s heirs are not negotiating from strength. They are negotiating from wreckage. Conservatives should demand verification and hard enforcement, but they should not help pro-regime propagandists pretend the battlefield result did not happen. The throne is cracked. That is regime change.
I really think it's hard for those of us who are not involved in the negotiating process, do any understand what's going on. It's hard to understand what Trump's strategy is, and it's easy to see why people blast him while other people trust him, it's all about politics, nobody knows what reality is. The game is trust versus disgust.
I'm afraid the roots of that terrorist regime will sprout new threats - like the old threats - as long as IRGC is in power. Trump is holding tight to economic controls, and perhaps should do more to take Kharg Island to hold their economy hostage.
Trump will do what is necessary but it's getting a little late for saving the midterms.
It’s not at all “too late to save the midterms”. I’m not even sure the midterms are in as dire straits as you think.
I agree that the Left Media IS a vicious and dangerous enemy.
But we are FAR from helpless before it.
Consider that there are at least 100 million MAGA out there. If each MAGA person engages with and talks to just 3 people on the Left or the befuddled “middle”, we can pierce the Left Media message.
Talk to just 3 people!! You can do that for sure. Probably you can talk to 10, even 20.
The Left Media’s reach has been declining—and it sure wouldn’t hurt if some enterprising Nick Shirley type journalists would probe into them.
Do not be impressed or intimidated by the big-mouth bully called the Left Media.
I agree with you TPG, but don't discount the influence our Republican quislings in the Senate can exert. They are the defenders of the Deep State and are desperate to find ways to thwart and defeat Trump. Don't think they won't do every underhanded thing they can manufacture to sabotage MAGA. They will gleefully snatch defeat from the jaw of victory if they are able. They are not on our side.
The Ayatollah Junior is more than likely in the same condition as his father. None of us knows exactly who Trump is dealing with but I have faith that he has them right where he wants them. The author of “The Art of The Deal” is not going to lose the biggest deal of his life.
I want to agree with you and trust Trump completely. But my gut tells me we should just bomb the crap out of them until there is nobody left to cry "uncle." Iran will lie. They have always lied. Nothing they say can be trusted, so why are we wasting our time? I would like to see this problem resolved sometime in my remaining lifetime (which is not that long.)
"The ever passive-aggressive pansy Mike Pence wrote, “Victory Over Iran Is Still Possible.”" -- Don, you are being way too kind to this pussy. Mike Pence is a back-stabbing traitor who should literally be hung on the nearest lamp post.
You'd think he would just go away being he was played the Court Jester by Nancy Pelosi. Nope. Now he's being played the fool by the MSM.
Penceford's got some money to Grift from some stupid donors somewhere....maybe he's got a call center calling all the WinRed grannies (grandpas have died off) to cadge $50 from them....this week.....then the next.....then the next....
Starmer is gone, yet Britain will continue to fumble as their once great country dives deeper into the Islamic abyss. Yet Trump outfoxed The City of London and its stranglehold via its bankers on continual chaos in the Mideast. Trump opened the eyes of the Arab allies as to just whom was financing that continual chaos via Iran, and they know now that there’s just one domino left to ensure a peaceful Mideast, and by God and Allah, they will bring it to heel. It took a businessman in the White House to show them that terrorism and religious extremism was making their London bankers rich while they feared for their countries and paid homage to the nut job extremists. No more. The dollar is the currency in Iran now, and Bessent is tracking every single one. They have them over an oil barrel, and Trump is just giving them time to figure out whose signature will be the one that counts on the peace deal. No boots on the ground, no forever war, and peace in the Middle East for middle easterners. Sounds like a good deal to me. Now, if Trump could do an Epic Fury on the democrat NGO (your tax dollars w/ no government oversight) complex here we’d be all set.
London may have helped in financing the continuous unrest in the Middle East that has beleaguered the West for decades, but make no mistake about it: Islam is the real problem. London sold its soul to the devil by getting into bed with them, and now look at them. They are being overrun by the Muslim hordes and hoisted upon their own petard.
But the true enemy is Islam, and until that fake religion is brought to heel, proved to be the militaristic and chief political enemy of the West, and shoved into outermost regions of the universe, the Middle East, and by extension, Western civilization will be caught in a perpetual struggle with that entity’s diabolical determination for worldwide supremacy. Israel is very clear eyed about their enemy, though not without its own internal struggles to maintain that focus.
It’s the Western world and its having chosen to embrace secularism, with all its inherent spiritual weakness, suicidal empathy, and falsity over true Christianity that has loosed that demon upon the world.
It was Christian values that forged this country, and Western civilization itself. Until there’s a concerted return to those true values and principles and their righteous standards, the beatings will continue apace.
Expect a quick wrap up. With 78% polling for an end to hostilities and looming midterms; Trump will put a bow on it. MSM will work with our enemies to keep it the main story.
Notice how they are trying to smother the release of docs about Fauci, and the grooming gangs, and the incomprehensibly rampant fraud taking place throughout our country.
They’ve reported more on the algae in the Reflecting pool than on any of those stories. They’ve are beyond reprehensible.
It is no surprise algae is the media lead everywhere as we watch the left so desperate as to purposely try to destroy a PDJT accomplishment ahead of a national celebration.. We must remember Suzie, ORANGE MAN BAD and success under PDJT is worse.
I think it has been SOP for Democrats and RINOs for several decades. It is their way of life and they are desperate to prevent Trump from ending their free ride of grifting.
It will never happen, but Fauci is more than deserving of being put on trial in the Hague for crimes against humanity. I don't think Biden's auto-pen pardon can save him in that venue. He played key roles in creating this virus and allowing it to escape. Then he made fortunes from his investments in ways to treat the illness. He is a monster and should be treated as exactly that.
That's right. "keep it the main story." Explains lots of things these days. The media's grasping at the straws of sensationalism, regardless of truth or logic is like dog food for the brainless.
10-1 says he’s contemplating running in 2028, or at least being pressured to consider such. His ego has swelled into seriously delusional and demagogue territory. I’m glad he made that announcement, making the obvious concrete. He has officially detached himself from our side, as if that hadn’t happened a long while ago. Good riddance.
Anyone who would vote for Tucker in 2028 is a bigger fool than anyone who would vote for that handful of proud socialist/nazis currently running for various offices
The biggest fool is Tucker himself if he is vain enough to even consider himself as a viable candidate. Hopefully in the process he drains his own bank account for this fool's errand.
Totally agree, Susie, good riddance to bad garbage! He realizes that the Dems have zero bench and they’re all antisemites like him, so they will welcome him with open arms. He will inevitably giggle like a schoolgirl on the campaign trail. He and Candace and Megan are just media critters, they crave the spotlight and the money that goes with that.
I have been fooled by so many of the people I thought were on our side and I always defended them. GW Bush, Dick Cheney, and scores of others who I now see were always just controlled opposition cosplaying for the Deep State. Trump has pulled the veils off of the faces of so many of these treacherous frauds. They are exponentially worse than Democrats.
What if he’s playing a long game too, disassociating himself from the GOP, cozying up to the crazies - all to run in ‘28 and keep what Trump has started going?! I’ve heard about this ploy by democrats to run as republicans just to make a red area blue… it’s not impossible that Tucker is playing the same game, is it?
The same idea occurred to me. The reason for the change in Tucker has been inexplicable. I don’t believe for a moment it’s money. He already has a lot.
I haven’t listened to him hardly at all since his “change”, so maybe I haven’t really grasped that he truly has gone “full crazy”.
And it is true that the Democrats have viciously conned Republicans for a long time in this same way—we really don’t know the full backstory on many RINO’s like Thune, etc.
Normally, the Dem base would never vote for ANY former Republican, but their current slate of Presidential contenders is PHENOMENALLY weak. Tucker is enough of a maverick I could see him agreeing ahead of time to take on this persona and attempt a wolf in sheep’s clothing ploy.
But overall, it’s a pretty long shot at best. Therefore, Tucker is probably just a sad case.
Bc of widespread cheating and fraud. Not hard for them to win in awful blue cities like LA and New York, where they elect, socialists, but anywhere else, they’re cheating.
I truly believe those idiots are put in place by design. It is not an accident that across the board all of them look like they are certifiable. They are props and can easily be manipulated and controlled, and they're so amazingly stupid that people take pity on them and go easier on them because they can't help themselves.
The Ayatollah is one person. The IRGC is an organization. The IRGC is decimated and defanged. They can only harass their citizens. Their neighbors, not so much. They have been reduced to a nuisance with little power outside their country. Dems and anti Trumper use their Bagdad Bob bluster to weaken the Trumpsters supporters. Never have so many known so little about what the President is up to on the geopolitical stage. Ask yourself what he has exposed. The UN is feckless, NATO is a toothless joke, forever wars are a scam and Europe has chosen poorly regarding energy dependence in the name of going against fossil fuels. Europe is broke, Starmer is gone, Muslims are taking over governments. Trump is the man who can fix things so I'm for letting the man work.
That's why I'm surprised we and the IDF aren't undercover and taking them out one by one. Although perhaps we are. The best thing about Trump's admin is the lack of leaks. I'm willing to give Trump a lot of leeway on this. Also, never believe what the MSM is spewing.
Yes, I think it’s almost certain there’s some one-by-one elimination going on, but Israel and the U.S. can’t talk about it right now because it would expose their information sources.
Trump has built a coalition of the local Arab states and Israel. All of them share the same interest in never allowing Iran to pose a mortal threat to any of them again. They will take care of the cleanup work to be done on the ground. The IRGC have been reduced to what are essentially local gangs led by warlords. The infighting among themselves is already tearing them apart. Squads of special forces from the IDF and the Arab states will clean out these vipers.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is concentrated in major urban centers but maintains a nationwide presence through a decentralized provincial structure.
Well, plus Catherine, they say that they tricked Khameni in the initial strike by sending the false message that the United States and Israel would not strike during the day and so the Ayatollah and all of his underlings were gathered together above ground, and then we struck and killed them all. Supposedly Tucker was The unwitting messenger to Khameni, that Trump told him that we would not strike during the day. Tucker is very pro-Islam these days. I don’t know if that’s true, but that’s the story that came out immediately after the original strikes.
If we won’t reject and remove the jihadi Islamist cadre (show me a single “reform” mosque) in the US, WHYEVER would we expect “regime” change in Iran? They all want Death to America, and then Death to Western Civilization. They say so. So I expect we will keep pruning that tree for a long time. I might beat them up some more on the way out, but no return of seized spoils.
They've been doing the work of Allah since the 7th Century. I'm sure they are not going anywhere and will be an infestation to be dealt with for many years to come.
This has been a PhD level class in misinformation surrounding Iran led by CIA, MI5, and MI6 and their child Mossad. All of 'Five Eyes' seemingly controlled by The Crown.
King Chas & the Macron have got a lot of $$ riding on the IRGC - if Iran goes down, what money laundering is gonna backfill - lack of Iranian embargoed oil trading, terrorism funding, Staight of Hormuz shakedowns, LLoyds war premiums, fake Brent Crude pricing for contracts that never deliver, and all the other scams by English & Canadian & Hong Kong & Indian & Carribbean british banks....
The insight that the devil's most successful strategy has been to convince people that he does not exist has been observed by quite a few notables. Google tells me it originated with the frenchman, Beaudelaire, but I think C.S. Lewis is another and one of the characters in the movie "The Usual Suspects" also uttered it on screen. Hitler and Goebbels provided a twist on the theme when they used the "Big Lie" to deceive the masses. Point is that there are two ways to deceive; one is to ignore an obvious truth and the other is to continually repeat an obvious lie. The corporate media uses both to foist their chosen narrative on the American people. Back in Ye Olden Tymes when soviet communism was a thing, they had a bunch of smart guys strategizing how to defeat the USA and, what do you know, they figured out that one of the best way was to confuse its citizens by spreading lies through their allies in--- you guessed it, the corporate media and academia. They knew that after confusion comes disillusionment and disengagement and eventually, the people just stop believing anything because they no longer can tell truth from lies. That's when the time is ripe for overthrow of the existing structure of ordered liberty under law, resulting in chaos and confusion and subsequent replacement with a tyranny. Back then, the rooskies figured it would be some brand of global communism that would be installed, but they missed the boat. (Thanks, Mr. Reagan.) Today we have another suitable replacement, though: the "red/green allliance" exemplified by demagogues like Mamdani and Omar, but in reality, pretty much the entire membership of the democrat party. And instead of the old soviet union and communism, we have global islam seeking for an opportunity to install their global caliphate after the prevailing socio-political structure has been demolished, with the Chinese waiting in the wings to have their shot at it as well. It's a race to the bottom between these competing dictatorships with the (formerly) United States of America being the ultimate prize. It's a wonder that there are still enough Americans who cling to the traditional virtues of patriotism for the country and allegiance to our Christian heritage that things haven't already collapsed. But our numbers are dwindling and our opponents are growing larger, much like Lord Elrond observed about the situation when the forces of Sauron were growing in the East and Saruman was betraying his former allies elsewhere, when he said, "Our list of allies grows thin." Yet, even now there is Hope, although it may not be in the places where we have usually found it in the past. To extend the comparison with LOTR, we may be at the point in time where, surrounded and outnumbered, we understand that, while there may be a time when all hope is lost and our country may fall, that time is not today. So let us arise and do battle, trusting in the God of Our Fathers and put the outcome in His hands.
Now I want to reread the trilogy. Until the movies came out I reread it every year. The movies were fun but they interfered with the vision of it in my mind's eye.
I agree, in that the names (of evil) change, but the essence remains. Yet the 3 most destructive words ever uttered to break the fall from the Garden of Eden cycle was ‘Resist Not Evil’. If there ever was a time to revisit the “mind that was in Christ Jesus” it is now.
Thanks for this column, Don. I have no problem criticizing DJT and JD if they fail to achieve “no Iran nukes”, but being critical of them now is at least 6 months premature. Yes, evidently Iran will start receiving petro-dollars, but they need lots of $B’s just to replace what’s been destroyed. Senators like Schumer, Booker and Kelly whining about the USA ‘losing” the war is simply laughable! They are anti-American losers!
President Donald Trump did in Iran what he's done with most of his other amazing achievements: To go where no man would venture before and DO SOMETHING. Bless him and may it resolve as quickly as possible.
That said, Iran wasn't as simple as the administration thought and has woven a tapestry of complex issues that are difficult to 'negotiate' to a close. If we don't win the midterms, everything goes away in January, 2027.
I believe our President is weighing this very thing right now to decide the best scenario for ending this mission. May it be resolved so America's attention can be focused on other issues - successes achieved by this cabinet.
Side note: It is interesting that Vance has been given the lead on the negotiation. The transition of power has begun and will test who PDJT will endorse as his replacement. I used to think he was absolutely going to run in 2028. I don't think so anymore. He's tired and wants to semi-retire.
Don overwhelms us with truth. A MOU is not an agreement as defined in law or diplomacy. It is a framework for continuing talks. They are used as a tool to say, "What is behind us is done. Let's move on." How many issues does the world have with Iran? Does anyone believe that an MOU 2 pages in length settles everything? It contains conditions for further talks. Everyone with a brain knows the Iranians who signed it are only nominally in charge and their word is worthless. So what is the purpose of this MOU? It creates a lull in active hostilities. It thereby deprives the Democrats opportunities to defund our military efforts. It eases pressure on global commerce. It provides a backdrop for the US and Iran's neighbors to plan a future for Iran without mullahs. It provides more time for the mullahs to fight among themselves while stealing whatever is left of Iran's treasures. The Democrats don't give a hoot and a holler about regime change in Iran. They only care about making that happen here at home. They are praying to their gods the midterms will give them leverage to stop Trump from making the world safe and free.
PDJT is in charge, make no mistake about that. With one word he could level Iran, leave it without roads, bridges, and power plants. No electricity makes life very difficult for “those in charge”.
But PJDT is a man of Peace, yet is willing and strong enough to use overwhelming force when required.
He knows that if America prospers, the free world prospers.

"...a useless herd of slugs..."
Best description I've read of ALL (Dem & Rino) the swamp creatures in a long time! Thank you!
And those slugs are dileriously happy eating the 'produce' Trump works so diligently to deliver to America.
Democrats are slugs who only exist because they live on the backs of productive Americans who still love the country. Democrats are worthless leeches who focus on "distribution" because they can't create anything themselves so they must steal the output of others to survive.
06/23/26: How anyone can watch / listen to Mark Levin is beyond me. Pence (ugh!) would almost (almost) be preferable.
I just yell right back at him "Get off my airwaves you stupid jerk" and change the channel.
Agree. Iranian statements about the mou or anything really, are for the USA media. This misinformation is used to inflame the stupid and uninformed. Not the first time either. Vietnam was a war won twice by the USA but the media framed it as a loss run by incompetents.
Imagine these people in ww2, oh give Japan the raw materials to takeover all Eastern Asia. Who cares if the Germans rule Europe? Anything just so we don’t ration flour, sugar, meat, gasoline etc.
She was a manicurist? A white manicurist! Who ever heard of such a thing! Thought that was a job Americans won’t do.
The South won. The Democrat Congress stopped ammunition resupply. No bullets, shells, nor fuel makes it hard to conduct a defense.
Well put, good sir. Trump didn't do what Clinton did in Serbia (bombed power plants, bridges, and schools). And I applaud him for that. He surgically decapitated an evil regime. Now they have nothing to fight back with and won't for generations or more... all we have to do is let the man do what he does best and all will be well.

Hah! In the late 70s my dad offered me money toward my first car if I would get a station wagon. He wanted to get a small car to drive back and forth to work, but if the whole family needed to go somewhere, we still needed a wagon. I loved that car.

😂🤣 Yes, Apple only and he is also announcing Congress has agreed to Declare War on Iran!! 😂🤣
Every time I have pizza , I pay for gas....
Maybe change the toppings? LOL.
Hilarious! Well done!
I agree. the USA has its share of whiners. easy for me to say, I don't have to drive many miles. history teaches that societies have to pay dues to stay around. complacency, "spoiled-ness", comfort breeds failure in the long run. and they are the great leaders who occasionally force such on their citizens.
I consider the higher prices I pay at the pump to be a "kill an Ayatollah" excise tax!
Great way to look at it! Thanks!

London sold its soul to the devil by getting into bed with them, and now look at them. They are being overrun by the Muslim hordes and hoisted upon their own petard.
But the true enemy is Islam, and until that fake religion is brought to heel, proved to be the militaristic and chief political enemy of the West, and shoved into outermost regions of the universe, the Middle East, and by extension, Western civilization will be caught in a perpetual struggle with that entity’s diabolical determination for worldwide supremacy. Israel is very clear eyed about their enemy, though not without its own internal struggles to maintain that focus.
It’s the Western world and its having chosen to embrace secularism, with all its inherent spiritual weakness, suicidal empathy, and falsity over true Christianity that has loosed that demon upon the world.
It was Christian values that forged this country, and Western civilization itself. Until there’s a concerted return to those true values and principles and their righteous standards, the beatings will continue apace.
Well said!
Expect a quick wrap up. With 78% polling for an end to hostilities and looming midterms; Trump will put a bow on it. MSM will work with our enemies to keep it the main story.
Notice how they are trying to smother the release of docs about Fauci, and the grooming gangs, and the incomprehensibly rampant fraud taking place throughout our country.
They’ve reported more on the algae in the Reflecting pool than on any of those stories. They’ve are beyond reprehensible.
It is no surprise algae is the media lead everywhere as we watch the left so desperate as to purposely try to destroy a PDJT accomplishment ahead of a national celebration.. We must remember Suzie, ORANGE MAN BAD and success under PDJT is worse.
As long as fraud goes undetected , and unreported, it exists simply as policy
I think it has been SOP for Democrats and RINOs for several decades. It is their way of life and they are desperate to prevent Trump from ending their free ride of grifting.
It will never happen, but Fauci is more than deserving of being put on trial in the Hague for crimes against humanity. I don't think Biden's auto-pen pardon can save him in that venue. He played key roles in creating this virus and allowing it to escape. Then he made fortunes from his investments in ways to treat the illness. He is a monster and should be treated as exactly that.
That's right. "keep it the main story." Explains lots of things these days. The media's grasping at the straws of sensationalism, regardless of truth or logic is like dog food for the brainless.
The MSN is the same today as they were during the Vietnam war. Anti-American is putting it mildly. They need to be changed like dirty underwear.
My like is for all but your last sentence.
You're right, they'll try hard. But their day is almost done.
It figures Tucker would leave the Republican party once he found out there is a party that welcomes real nazis and antisemites.
10-1 says he’s contemplating running in 2028, or at least being pressured to consider such. His ego has swelled into seriously delusional and demagogue territory. I’m glad he made that announcement, making the obvious concrete. He has officially detached himself from our side, as if that hadn’t happened a long while ago. Good riddance.
Anyone who would vote for Tucker in 2028 is a bigger fool than anyone who would vote for that handful of proud socialist/nazis currently running for various offices
The biggest fool is Tucker himself if he is vain enough to even consider himself as a viable candidate. Hopefully in the process he drains his own bank account for this fool's errand.
Totally agree, Susie, good riddance to bad garbage! He realizes that the Dems have zero bench and they’re all antisemites like him, so they will welcome him with open arms. He will inevitably giggle like a schoolgirl on the campaign trail. He and Candace and Megan are just media critters, they crave the spotlight and the money that goes with that.
And all three are going to receive their just rewards by joining Don Lemon in relevance.
I have been fooled by so many of the people I thought were on our side and I always defended them. GW Bush, Dick Cheney, and scores of others who I now see were always just controlled opposition cosplaying for the Deep State. Trump has pulled the veils off of the faces of so many of these treacherous frauds. They are exponentially worse than Democrats.
I have a slogan: be a sucker... vote for Tucker!!
What if he’s playing a long game too, disassociating himself from the GOP, cozying up to the crazies - all to run in ‘28 and keep what Trump has started going?! I’ve heard about this ploy by democrats to run as republicans just to make a red area blue… it’s not impossible that Tucker is playing the same game, is it?
Uh, no. He’s left the reservation in both mind and body and quite a while ago.
He has a reservation , but he's completely without a table
That's funny!. You can eat all you want, Tucker, but just not here.
The same idea occurred to me. The reason for the change in Tucker has been inexplicable. I don’t believe for a moment it’s money. He already has a lot.
I haven’t listened to him hardly at all since his “change”, so maybe I haven’t really grasped that he truly has gone “full crazy”.
And it is true that the Democrats have viciously conned Republicans for a long time in this same way—we really don’t know the full backstory on many RINO’s like Thune, etc.
Normally, the Dem base would never vote for ANY former Republican, but their current slate of Presidential contenders is PHENOMENALLY weak. Tucker is enough of a maverick I could see him agreeing ahead of time to take on this persona and attempt a wolf in sheep’s clothing ploy.
But overall, it’s a pretty long shot at best. Therefore, Tucker is probably just a sad case.
You can cozy up to the crazies , but there aren't enough of them to elect anybody to a major office.
But the Dems have indeed already been electing a lot of really, really weak people.
Bc of widespread cheating and fraud. Not hard for them to win in awful blue cities like LA and New York, where they elect, socialists, but anywhere else, they’re cheating.
I truly believe those idiots are put in place by design. It is not an accident that across the board all of them look like they are certifiable. They are props and can easily be manipulated and controlled, and they're so amazingly stupid that people take pity on them and go easier on them because they can't help themselves.
Weak maybe. But also certifiably crazy. That’s not good for anyone.
If they can pinpoint an attack on the Ayatollah eating breakfast why not the IRGC?
The Ayatollah is one person. The IRGC is an organization. The IRGC is decimated and defanged. They can only harass their citizens. Their neighbors, not so much. They have been reduced to a nuisance with little power outside their country. Dems and anti Trumper use their Bagdad Bob bluster to weaken the Trumpsters supporters. Never have so many known so little about what the President is up to on the geopolitical stage. Ask yourself what he has exposed. The UN is feckless, NATO is a toothless joke, forever wars are a scam and Europe has chosen poorly regarding energy dependence in the name of going against fossil fuels. Europe is broke, Starmer is gone, Muslims are taking over governments. Trump is the man who can fix things so I'm for letting the man work.
That's why I'm surprised we and the IDF aren't undercover and taking them out one by one. Although perhaps we are. The best thing about Trump's admin is the lack of leaks. I'm willing to give Trump a lot of leeway on this. Also, never believe what the MSM is spewing.
Yes, I think it’s almost certain there’s some one-by-one elimination going on, but Israel and the U.S. can’t talk about it right now because it would expose their information sources.
Without a question!
Trump has built a coalition of the local Arab states and Israel. All of them share the same interest in never allowing Iran to pose a mortal threat to any of them again. They will take care of the cleanup work to be done on the ground. The IRGC have been reduced to what are essentially local gangs led by warlords. The infighting among themselves is already tearing them apart. Squads of special forces from the IDF and the Arab states will clean out these vipers.
Thank you Jake!
Amen Jake !
From your lips to God's ears.
I don't think they are all located in one area:
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is concentrated in major urban centers but maintains a nationwide presence through a decentralized provincial structure.
I get that but it must be possible to identify the worst of the worst.
Well, plus Catherine, they say that they tricked Khameni in the initial strike by sending the false message that the United States and Israel would not strike during the day and so the Ayatollah and all of his underlings were gathered together above ground, and then we struck and killed them all. Supposedly Tucker was The unwitting messenger to Khameni, that Trump told him that we would not strike during the day. Tucker is very pro-Islam these days. I don’t know if that’s true, but that’s the story that came out immediately after the original strikes.
That would explain alot
I am pro I -slam too , but only if it is the n b a dunk contest! i slam!!!
It’s whack a mole.
I'd go to dermatologist first...
Methinks that pinpointing has been going on the whole time and is probably still going on.
A country of millions is against a few hundred thousand IRGC evildoers.
The millions just have to recover from the loss of their 40,000 not so long ago.
"Evildoers...!" You're starting to sound like GWB! What a hoot!
So many synonyms, so few brain cells left for me...
Funny, I was thinking the exact same thing this AM...
If we won’t reject and remove the jihadi Islamist cadre (show me a single “reform” mosque) in the US, WHYEVER would we expect “regime” change in Iran? They all want Death to America, and then Death to Western Civilization. They say so. So I expect we will keep pruning that tree for a long time. I might beat them up some more on the way out, but no return of seized spoils.
They've been doing the work of Allah since the 7th Century. I'm sure they are not going anywhere and will be an infestation to be dealt with for many years to come.
Mike Pence, go back to Indiana and let the grownups do their thing. Or better yet go cuddle up somewhere with Bill Kristol & Charlie 3-Wives Sykes
Good upbeat and positive column. Thank you Mr. S.
This has been a PhD level class in misinformation surrounding Iran led by CIA, MI5, and MI6 and their child Mossad. All of 'Five Eyes' seemingly controlled by The Crown.
King Chas & the Macron have got a lot of $$ riding on the IRGC - if Iran goes down, what money laundering is gonna backfill - lack of Iranian embargoed oil trading, terrorism funding, Staight of Hormuz shakedowns, LLoyds war premiums, fake Brent Crude pricing for contracts that never deliver, and all the other scams by English & Canadian & Hong Kong & Indian & Carribbean british banks....
The insight that the devil's most successful strategy has been to convince people that he does not exist has been observed by quite a few notables. Google tells me it originated with the frenchman, Beaudelaire, but I think C.S. Lewis is another and one of the characters in the movie "The Usual Suspects" also uttered it on screen. Hitler and Goebbels provided a twist on the theme when they used the "Big Lie" to deceive the masses. Point is that there are two ways to deceive; one is to ignore an obvious truth and the other is to continually repeat an obvious lie. The corporate media uses both to foist their chosen narrative on the American people. Back in Ye Olden Tymes when soviet communism was a thing, they had a bunch of smart guys strategizing how to defeat the USA and, what do you know, they figured out that one of the best way was to confuse its citizens by spreading lies through their allies in--- you guessed it, the corporate media and academia. They knew that after confusion comes disillusionment and disengagement and eventually, the people just stop believing anything because they no longer can tell truth from lies. That's when the time is ripe for overthrow of the existing structure of ordered liberty under law, resulting in chaos and confusion and subsequent replacement with a tyranny. Back then, the rooskies figured it would be some brand of global communism that would be installed, but they missed the boat. (Thanks, Mr. Reagan.) Today we have another suitable replacement, though: the "red/green allliance" exemplified by demagogues like Mamdani and Omar, but in reality, pretty much the entire membership of the democrat party. And instead of the old soviet union and communism, we have global islam seeking for an opportunity to install their global caliphate after the prevailing socio-political structure has been demolished, with the Chinese waiting in the wings to have their shot at it as well. It's a race to the bottom between these competing dictatorships with the (formerly) United States of America being the ultimate prize. It's a wonder that there are still enough Americans who cling to the traditional virtues of patriotism for the country and allegiance to our Christian heritage that things haven't already collapsed. But our numbers are dwindling and our opponents are growing larger, much like Lord Elrond observed about the situation when the forces of Sauron were growing in the East and Saruman was betraying his former allies elsewhere, when he said, "Our list of allies grows thin." Yet, even now there is Hope, although it may not be in the places where we have usually found it in the past. To extend the comparison with LOTR, we may be at the point in time where, surrounded and outnumbered, we understand that, while there may be a time when all hope is lost and our country may fall, that time is not today. So let us arise and do battle, trusting in the God of Our Fathers and put the outcome in His hands.
Arise, (true) Men of the West.
Now I want to reread the trilogy. Until the movies came out I reread it every year. The movies were fun but they interfered with the vision of it in my mind's eye.
That trilogy is truly an inspired, and inspiring, masterpiece.
I agree, in that the names (of evil) change, but the essence remains. Yet the 3 most destructive words ever uttered to break the fall from the Garden of Eden cycle was ‘Resist Not Evil’. If there ever was a time to revisit the “mind that was in Christ Jesus” it is now.
S(rl), I love this comment!
But I would assess our situation as currently being several notches better than Aragon and Gandalf’s last desperate diversion movement on Mordor.
Thanks for this column, Don. I have no problem criticizing DJT and JD if they fail to achieve “no Iran nukes”, but being critical of them now is at least 6 months premature. Yes, evidently Iran will start receiving petro-dollars, but they need lots of $B’s just to replace what’s been destroyed. Senators like Schumer, Booker and Kelly whining about the USA ‘losing” the war is simply laughable! They are anti-American losers!
Laughable, but not funny.
President Donald Trump did in Iran what he's done with most of his other amazing achievements: To go where no man would venture before and DO SOMETHING. Bless him and may it resolve as quickly as possible.
That said, Iran wasn't as simple as the administration thought and has woven a tapestry of complex issues that are difficult to 'negotiate' to a close. If we don't win the midterms, everything goes away in January, 2027.
I believe our President is weighing this very thing right now to decide the best scenario for ending this mission. May it be resolved so America's attention can be focused on other issues - successes achieved by this cabinet.
Side note: It is interesting that Vance has been given the lead on the negotiation. The transition of power has begun and will test who PDJT will endorse as his replacement. I used to think he was absolutely going to run in 2028. I don't think so anymore. He's tired and wants to semi-retire.
Well then let's put him on the Supreme Court. ☺️
They need cleaning up even more than the reflecting pool.
And the leftist fallout will be epic! Almost as entertaining as the World Cup visitors.
Boy, that would really make their deliberations very interesting!
Don overwhelms us with truth. A MOU is not an agreement as defined in law or diplomacy. It is a framework for continuing talks. They are used as a tool to say, "What is behind us is done. Let's move on." How many issues does the world have with Iran? Does anyone believe that an MOU 2 pages in length settles everything? It contains conditions for further talks. Everyone with a brain knows the Iranians who signed it are only nominally in charge and their word is worthless. So what is the purpose of this MOU? It creates a lull in active hostilities. It thereby deprives the Democrats opportunities to defund our military efforts. It eases pressure on global commerce. It provides a backdrop for the US and Iran's neighbors to plan a future for Iran without mullahs. It provides more time for the mullahs to fight among themselves while stealing whatever is left of Iran's treasures. The Democrats don't give a hoot and a holler about regime change in Iran. They only care about making that happen here at home. They are praying to their gods the midterms will give them leverage to stop Trump from making the world safe and free.
