FTA “Predictably, Democrats in Washington and even some Republicans are questioning the strikes. But let’s be honest — this moment was long overdue. Iran’s reign of terror didn’t start yesterday. In fact, this confrontation is the direct result of the Obama administration’s disastrous decision a decade ago to appease, enrich, and embolden Tehran. Barack Obama and his administration sold the world a fantasy with the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), commonly referred to as the Iran nuclear deal. This treaty was so bad that Obama didn’t even attempt to get the Senate to ratify it. He just pretended it wasn’t a treaty and signed it unilaterally, claiming it as a foreign policy victory for himself. In fact, Obama was so desperate to make the deal a defining foreign policy achievement of his presidency that the lies about the deal from the left have never stopped. He told us it was a historic diplomatic breakthrough that would block Iran’s path to nuclear weapons. In reality, it handed the mullahs a lifeline and a fortune. Sanctions were lifted. Tehran gained access to roughly $150 billion in frozen assets, and there was that infamous $1.7 billion in cash sent to the regime, much of it delivered on pallets in the middle of the night. Every step of the way, Obama was emboldening Iran, not containing it.
Iran has been daring the world to stop it for years, and now, it is finally getting what it deserves. Iran’s reign of terror finally faces the hammer of justice with Operation Epic Fury, proving Trump’s strength buries Obama’s shameful appeasement forever. Democrats whine, but real Americans cheer this overdue smackdown on the mullahs. PJ Media stands as a vital conservative voice exposing these truths.”
Our first black President did nothing for America but everything for our enemies!!!
You forgot about the embarrassing Jimmy Carter who allowed the Shah to be overthrown, looked the other way as the hostages were taken, and then sent an ill prepared military rescue attempt that crashed in the middle of the desert.
Finally settling this 47 year intimidation of the west and it’s weak leaders is making America great again.
Obama was just doing what the world did when the Barbary pirates were on a rampage for 30 years, he tried to pay them off and hoped they would go away.
Completely wrong. Obama or Barry Sotero, was helping them and funding them. He did NOT want to hope they go away after being paid. That is beyond wrong.
Sorry not being a jerk. It’s just wrong.
Most of the weak world leaders wanted the pirates to stop and thought that paying their ransoms and getting agreements was easier and cheaper. It is likely that some wanted that to continue, like Obama you say, because it served to undermine a competing countries shipping. Along came James Madison who had the guts to attack and make it stop.
Obama sent pallets of cash to Iran. That was a public ransom to try to get them to stop funding terrorism and stop enrichment of Uranium. Maybe he actually wanted the terror to continue but his public face was all about appeasement. If I recall there were reports that some of the pallets of cash went directly to Iran’s proxies, or some would say democrats. Either way, yes, Obama is complicit in the Islamist’s authoritarian rule.
Obama gave them pallets of cash walking out the door. Do we not remember that story? I believe it was 1.8 billion dollars.
Him and Kerry both should’ve been arrested……….

TAMPA, Fla. – As of 9:30 am ET, March 1, three U.S. service members have been killed in action and five are seriously wounded as part of Operation Epic Fury.
Several others sustained minor shrapnel injuries and concussions — and are in the process of being returned to duty. Major combat operations continue and our response effort is ongoing.
The situation is fluid, so out of respect for the families, we will withhold additional information, including the identities of our fallen warriors, until 24 hours after next of kin have been notified.
Note of clarification: Military and national family.
…and now the left and the other detractors have their talking points. Those soldiers won’t even been flown home to their families before their lives are used as political leverage.
Dear TheAkh,
There is only leverage if one allows oneself to be swayed by the evil politics, the obviously satanic conversation of fools. A leader is only a leader if there are willing followers. Ignore the ignorant and live a life that refuses to be propagandized. There is great power in refusing to feed dark forces with mental participation.
In my opinion, the sacrifice our military endures is one of a higher calling that is celebrated by our own devotion to the principals that formed this country. We can honor our fallen by giving the liars none of our time or energy.
We can honor them with the highest commitment by insuring no liberal or Democrat is voted in to office in the next election.
GOD, please be with us in this time of great turmoil.
There isn’t any leverage – in fact, if they try to use that lever, everyone should wrest it from their hands and beat them about the head and shoulders with it, for being the despicable ghouls that they are and daring to try to politicize their honorable actions.
Same talking points since Vietnam. And that from the ‘creative’ crowd.
Unavoidably, there WILL be more. Every soldier goes into combat, planning to come home, knowing (s)he might not. They go anyway.
Dear Mike Robinson,
Your post stimulated me to find this verse which I think is the epitome of military service even though it was spoken by Jesus Christ to his disciples just before he was glorified:
John 15:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
Each and every service member killed in action is the example of that immortal verse. None of them knew me personally, but each was a friend to me and this nation. Now I pray their families have the strength God bestows upon them to transcend the loss with faith and courage.
As Tulsi recanted the other day in a speech…As they went out on patrol every day in Afghanistan, there was a big sign on the gate…”Is today the day?”
Hope she didn’t recant that statement – it’s true 🙂
Every day is a gift, for all of us, always.
When I flew to Istanbul, to be checked into the country, my mother had a nightmare of an airplane crashing in Turkey, and all she could see were suitcases and clothes washing up out of the water to the shoreline. I was fine and eventually made it to Incirlik AB. There was a commercial airliner, just like mine, carrying troops in Turkey, that did crash in the mountains in that same time vicinity.
The C.I.A. Helped Pinpoint a Gathering of Iranian Leaders. Then Israel Struck.
NYT broke the story. Lots of detail in this piece. 30 missiles killed top leaders instantly.
https://archive.is/PuIRJ#selection-523.0-523.78
Which C. I. A ?
The Culinary Institute of America?
The Cleveland Institute of Art.
Next up for Israel…Turkey. Just waiting for the cia and Israel to declare this. And what will we do then?
https://x.com/ggreenwald/status/2028119659757597014
But Turkey is not run by radical Islamists still with one foot in the 16th century.
The same thing we have always done when trouble arises and we have our heads screwed on right.
Given the source and their source, this is likely propaganda or straight up lies.
JMO.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch.
What do Cabinet Heads Tulsi Gabbard, Marco Rubio, Sean Duffy and Kristi Noem have in common?
For months, since 1/20/25, they have worked hard gathering the evidence of crimes in their respective departments and have forwarded multiple requests for criminal prosecution against the people responsible for those crimes to the DOJ / FBI ………. only to see the requests disappear into the infamous DOJ / FBI black hole ….. where evidence and cases go to die, still!
They join the MAGA / America Firsters who have complained for months about the lack of prosecutions of the thousands and thousands of treasonous biden carryover, weaponizing criminals still working at the DOJ / FBI.
What’s up? They asked.
Some clarity came with the July 23,2025 article titled:
“The Blonde Ballard Twins: How Susie Wiles And Pam Bondi Keep Trump On A Leash”, ClashDaily Staff WriterJuly 23, 2025
Here is a snippet from the article linked to below:
“Bondi’s DOJ has been criticized for dragging its feet. Major investigations sit in limbo. Corrupt Obama-era holdovers remain in office. Prosecutorial aggression? Nowhere to be found. …..she’s managing optics more than outcomes — slow walking justice while the clock ticks down…………”
Together, Wiles and Bondi form the perfect globalist pincer: one controls the flow of information, the other controls the legal action ——or inaction …….. some say that they brag about being loyal to President Trump, but not to his MAGA / America First goals and policies.

MAGA / America First isn’t just our motto, it is our duty!
“some say that they brag about being loyal to President Trump, but not to his MAGA / America First goals and policies.”
Splain.
Citizen of the Former Republic,
Thanks for the comment.
“some say that they brag about being loyal to President Trump, but not to his MAGA / America First goals and policies.”
“Splain.”?
“some say”?:
To quote this article, for one source: “Wiles and Bondi might be loyal to Trump the man—but what about Trump the movement?
Because if they’re not helping to execute the agenda the American people voted for, then they’re not helping at all. And if they are the reason critical intelligence, whistleblower warnings, and game-changing strategies never make it to Trump’s desk… then they are, quite literally, the problem.”
“they brag about being loyal to President Trump, but not to his MAGA / America First goals and policies.”?
As their extensive, pre-MAGA, globalist / RINO employment illustrates, their career-long, main policy loyalties are with the big pharma, big legal, big green, big government, big Venezuela, etc. gang.
Far from the MAGA / America First’s agenda.
Have a great MAGA DAY!
Big Ukrian too?
For every two loyal patriots there are 10 people wring their hands and crying. Man up!
The way President Trump has commented on his Truth social page…he is well aware of the optics.
With this data point, he is either allowing it (IMHO doubtful)…OR…there IS plenty going on behind the scenes…taking down an international crime cartel…into pedophilia, human trafficking, counterfeiting, money laundering, election fraud, murder, extortion, bribery, and on, and on, and on.
The first domino to fall was Maduro, all roads lead through Venezuela to China…plenty of elites have since been arrested, stepped down from places of prestige and had investigations started on their activities.
Some killed themselves to avoid facing the outcome, how horrible must their crimes have been?
I think we should get some popcorn and watch the next act, before demanding a refund, my friend!
Who told the story about the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia’s phone conversations with President Trump about the Iran operation?
Finally we are able to shoot back! It is a miracle!
Just shoot the ones in towels.

Who gave the teachers union standing?
That’s why its called a Cabal.
Cabal, coven, whatever.
Maybe they are striving to unionize the teachers at these driving schools and learing centers, so this is a PR move to attract membership.
Touching on my pet peeve! Why is the Dept of Transportation not providing grants and assistance to help American citizens get their CDL’s???
It’s a great job for vets getting out, but many don’t have the $6,000. After six weeks they can have a high paying job to feed their family. Other populations of citizens also could take advantage.
But nooooo. No assistance from the DOT to help with the 180,000 shortfall of drivers. They just blame the trucking companies and tell them it’s all their fault that they hire illegals. Fair enough, but how do they expect the honest ones to hire now that there is a 180,000 shortfall?
Billions to waste on daycare, but none for Americans. Shameful!
I said the same thing 20 years ago about Major League Baseball, why were they doing all their recruiting and training in Cuba, then bragging about how they’d helped these destitute boys; meanwhile our brothers’ dreams were ignored.
Very public deportations would help here.
You’ve gotten soft… 😉
My other options are more limited. Rules were different in bad guy country.
At this time, quite true.
Did not state method of public deportation.

Catapult.

Past analysis from October 2024
Iran vs Israel: Implications for Missile Defense
“I think the evidence is strong that Iran, which launched ~200 missiles, overwhelmed Israeli defenses. This suggests that Russia and China will be able to overwhelm the comparatively weaker missile defense systems of US aircraft carrier groups with their more advanced anti-ship ballistic and hypersonic missiles. It also suggests that US bases in the Pacific, as well as in Iraq, are highly vulnerable.”
https://stevehsu.substack.com/p/iran-vs-israel-implications-for-missile?triedRedirect=true
Very subpar analysis regarding carrier groups – it’s simply a badly extrapolated and incorrect opinion based upon a lack of both logic (stationary vs mobile) and knowledge (naval defense systems and methods).
Absolutely nothing new regarding the concept of saturation either, which has been around almost as long as missile designs. At some numerical threshold, any statically positioned system will fail, the question has always been what the number is and the ability to launch such a salvo.

NOT IRAQ 2.0: The 118-Year Empire Trump Just Ended
{
}
“… There’s no better way to celebrate the anniversary of our independence than finishing off the British Empire once & for all.”
I think she’s spot on.
I also think GB needs to shut up and sit down right now. The last thing President Trump needs is them butting, in crying victim to NATO and screwing the pooch on the operation underway.
The operation vs Iran is far from over.
The IRG was the force behind the throne of the Clerics. The IRG had nearly “all the guns” inside Iran. They are not stupid and have plans in place to fight on in case of a civil war and decapitation operations. There is also undoubtedly a succession plan in place for the clerics. They have had been over 20 years to assess US methods of operations … plus their feral desire to survive.
It is now on the dissidents and what ever supporters that exist within the actual Iranian Power Structure to finish the job on the ground while the US and Israel continue to wreck the C4I and combat assets of the IRG.
Meanwhile, the Iranians are taking the fight internationally via guerilla operations as well as strikes vs heads of opposing states.
Here in the US their US Government allies and Auto-Pen established terrorists cells will also come into the open. This highlights even to a greater extent why the Democrat Party is working to defund DHS in total.
Three service members killed, many more critically injured. Far from over, indeed.
“BREAKING: 3 US troops killed in Iran strikes”
Men and women from Missouri fighting somebody else’s war in a far off land… stop me when you’ve heard this before…
Volunteer military.
Lawful actions.
Justified actions.
Stop me when this finally sinks in…..
Dead Americans.
USA more safe.
Run along, time to change those piddle soaked panties.
The numbers of deaths by type – you might learn something that everyone who has served already knows…
Piddles is just not worth the time.
Either a troll or one of the crowd that refuses to acknowledge that threats to the US exist outside our borders that do impact inside the borders of the US.
Piddles refuses to acknowledge that Obama and JoeBama as well as their buddies inside the US Government have been literally killing US citizens, US DHS members and US foreign friends for over 20 years using Iran as their controlling vector. Piddles refuses to acknowledge the danger that has built up on our southern border via the alliance between Criminal-Drug Cartels, Iran, China Inc.
There was no choice left but to apply military force to redress the situation … the hard part of the choice is that people are put into harms way when this decision is made. Then again, Obama, Auto-Pen JoeBama and their friends within the US Government do not seem to have any qualms about putting Us citizens in harms way by siding with the enemies of the Republic.
“the danger that has built up on our southern border via the alliance between Criminal-Drug Cartels, Iran, China Inc.”… your words, not mine. Martyring the “supreme leader” of Iran doesn’t fix that problem.
Piddles pulled the lever for Kamala.
And yet you piddle your pants and care nothing about these American deaths:
“ In 2023, fentanyl was responsible for about 199 deaths every day. Over a quarter of a million Americans have died from fentanyl overdoses since 2021. In 2023, 72,776 people died from fentanyl overdoses nationwide, 1.4% fewer than the year before. Fentanyl deaths had previously increased every year from 2013 to 2022.”
That is just Fentanyl. The Iranian govt are involved, … but you could care less.
Fentanyl deaths are self inflicted Darwinian selection.
I’m not going to call you what you are. Use your imagination. That is pure horse $hit.
And the US has had an equal amount of time to gather intelligence about THEM. The US military was not born yesterday.
Yep I get it and we are seeing it in the manner that this operation is being conducted.
The problem and on-going risk will be the false expectations of people who think this will end overnight. with each “spectacular headline” … good and bad.
Do not expect the media right or left to report with any honesty nor depth.
“The Fog of War.”
For one thing, do not use the press to tell the enemy what to expect. This operation is not a one-day strike. There will be information and disinformation, and deception. Plans will be secret. There might be feints.
We will not know – must(!) not know – in advance. Lives and success depend on this. “Because Somebody Talked!”
Mike I have a very firm grasp of military operations and history so do not give me your condescending BS.
Laughed. Aren’t you USMA?
It has been very quiet.
We sure know where to strike and whom to initially strike … but the issue is what happens while the strikes are progress.
Will some form of revolt actually be carried out that changes who is in charge and by who?? That is the risk.
Only the Iranian people can decide their destiny. 47 years of hideous authoritarian rule is being wiped away. It’s their move now. Iran can be restored to its former glory, which once was indeed glorious, if its people want it bad enough.
Mossad knows Iran like the back of their hand.
Buckle up…
“2 dead, more than a dozen injured in Austin bar mass shooting, police say”
So … we surrender because to the terrorist cells (Drug Cartel and Iranian) and their US Government friends (who helped place them in the democrat run areas of the US)??
So you admit the Us has been invaded and also now contend that the US can never be allowed to defend itself???
So root it out. Terrorist cell planning, and cartel operations aren’t conducted out of Tehran.
We only have string to pull at a time, or are you acknowledging that having our hands tied by shitty judges and a feckless congress is THE problem?
Not any more!
Of course not. It’s out of Obama’s house in DC.
More than 63 million legal abortions have occurred in the United States between the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision and roughly 2020/2021.
Democrats are probably responsible for most.
You voted for this, as it’s Zero / Biden legacy.
Respectfully, sir, and as I posted elsewhere, this sort of incident is nothing new. The murdering zealot would have chosen a place and time to wreak havoc regardless of whether the U.S. attacked Iran or not.
That said, might these attacks on Americans increase? Probably. Which is why we should spend considerable time tomorrow pushing our reps to refund DHS and to pass the SAVE Act. If you have other suggestions, I would surely consider them. It pains me to opine at a computer and not actually DO something!
So because of retaliation we should just put our heads in the sand and hope it goes away?
I’ll admit when I first woke to the news of the strikes and attack I was pretty unhappy. As the last 24 hours have unfolded, I’m pleasantly relieved and beginning to see a clear pattern of how our President operates.
I highly doubt we will see tanks rolling in with thousands of US kids along side. THIS is the type of action we needed to see from past presidents. We’ve had this ability for decades. But they purposely chose to make things messy because they clearly didn’t want to win. You see, quagmires and drawn out conflicts keep the money flowing.
This isn’t your father’s military action.
Just don’t mosey into bars in blue sanctuary cities.
Pakistani embedded guerilla operations in the USA?
Lone gunman, circled the bar several times, opened fire with a handgun, drove down the street, got out of their vehicle and was shot and killed by police. (police press conference on utube)
Not the typical MO of a foreign terrorist or “guerilla operations” – which are much more likely to be done by multi-person teams with far greater lethality.
It’s always a lone gunman. He may not be a foreign terrorist nor of any guerilla operation.
What do you make of this? … ‘potential nexus to terrorism’
https://www.foxnews.com/video/6390231422112
Hype…
As a result of the nut wearing the Allah shirt, having an Iranian flag undershirt, and similar material in his car they hyped the thing.
He was said to have “previous mental issues.” There’s a as good as not chance he was radicalized by things he saw/read online. The act itself was an act of terrorism (why do you shoot up a bunch of random people in a public place? To terrorize.)
However, I highly doubt he was part of a terrorist cell or was a sleeper agent. Much more likely someone who never assimilated, had a hard time adjusting to “western civilization”, and was set off by events and trying to “give his life meaning.”
IMO.
Just shut down the airports across the country. It will last a couple of days, the pressure will be enough that the Demons will fund DHS. Tired of this crap with putting Vaseline under the edge of the bandaid to soften the sting..rip that puppy off
The media as well as the allies of the Clerics within the US Government, EU and elsewhere are using the gaslighting term-phrase “Regional Escalation” as if Iran has numerous allied nations that support the clerics.
Make no mistake, there is an escalation but it is in scope and not via allied nations … scope being the activation of globally deployed terrorist cells and activation of support from “friendly” actors who are part of the Governments opposing the clerics of Iran to weaken actions of those governments.
This will be a test of the ability of President Trump to hold the coalition together that has supported this action.
I suspect that those “clerics” have much less “support” than they think. If the top Dons have just been snuffed, there’s going to be a power struggle and no loyalty. (Read your “Godfather.”)
I agree there will be a power struggle and there in lays the risk in this operation as to who actually emerges as top dog …. another group of clerics, IRG commanders, some form of secular oriented alliance …. the risk being will they negotiate and to to what levels will they negotiate??
The Shaw’s son? Although the old Shaw was a mean old man too.
He’s been putting out statements and has a fair sized Iranian following, particularly among the young.
From observations of events over the last 48 hours, middle aged men tend more towards Islam – the young and the women tend much more towards secular liberty.
Real support or appeasement from nations who fear terrorist actions?
Remembering another great fighter!

Meet the new boss — same as the old boss. Iran assigns a new cleric supreme leader:

We’ll see how long that lasts. Those who are accustomed to holding a nation under their boot heels will of course change boots as their first move, and insist that nothing happened.
I don’t think that there will be much left of the former regime when the bombs quit falling.
This is only “Day One,” and we don’t yet know how extensive the operation is … I think it’s very big and bad. 47 years to get rid of.
Yes, that was my initial concern before the bombing started. It looks like the regime had a lot of tentacles in preparation — so that just removing the head of the snake wouldn’t kill it:
https://www.foxnews.com/world/irans-supreme-leader-runs-state-within-state-through-secret-4000-person-network-report-says
Now it appears the Arab States will be joining in after Iran attacked them. Can someone explain why they did that bloody stupid move?
Why was it stupid? It’s going to get them killed. God moves in mysterious ways.
I think she meant it was stupid on Iran’s part. Correct me if I’m wrong.
He better hope Israel doesn’t know where he is.
I have found another channel for news from the Middle East: TBN Israel, with Yair Pinto. The mainstream media are just not doing the job these days. Pinto does a really good job covering the crisis.

Sounds like the hacks at CNN are getting nervous about their paychecks now that Paramount is purchasing their parent corp. Almost poetic to hear about their whining. Of course, I am not hearing their whining because I never watch CNN.
Read some time back that if it weren’t for all the subscriptions being paid by airports to carry CNN on all those waiting area TV screens that CNN would have gone bankrupt a long time ago. Don’t know how true that is, but it sounds logical. I never pay attention to those screens whenever I am travelling by air. Better to read a book, talk to a stranger, or watch the aircraft coming and going than to watch CNN no matter how bored you are sitting around doing nothing.
Certainly Not News

That didn’t take long. But no money for DHS because we protect all illegals and Trump won’t allow us to use the DHS against American Citizens. JMO
He be dead now.
So he stole the shirt
‘Motive unknown.’
Some on the equivocating Left are calling Iran Trump’s Vietnam, so let’s take a closer look:
McNamara lied about Vietnam, the Domino Theory our government used to justify the war was a phony construct of a DC think tank and ‘Nam was never a serious threat to the American homeland!
Cheney and Bush lied about Iraq, the Weapons of Mass Destruction used to justify the war didn’t exist because it was a phony construct of the CIA and British Intelligence and Iraq was never a serious threat to the American homeland!
Trump is not lying about Iran, they are still the number one exporter of terror and instability in the world, their nuclear program did exist, made stronger by the appeasement and complicity of a string of globalist U.S. presidents! Khamenei was as evil as Trump says and Iran still is a serious threat to the American homeland!
Kennedy and Nixon’s Vietnam war should never have happened and our government told the American people we were winning when they knew we losing, until we suddenly and shamefully left the people of South Vietnam high and dry to be slaughtered by the Viet Cong!
George W. Bush’s invasion of Iraq strengthened Iran by crushing their main adversary in the Middle East! Iraq had actually invaded Iran, starting a war that lasted 8 years and claimed a million dead! Bush spent trillions on a war that was a huge gift to the Ayatollah by turning Iraq from a rival into a vassal state!
Iran would already have nuclear weapons and the rockets capable of bombing America had Trump not wiped out their nuclear capability last year! But evil has no bounds and Iran was rebuilding their nuclear capability and slaughtering their own people by the tens of thousands right up until the moment of the air strike that killed Khamenei!
Despite Tucker Carlson’s protestations to the contrary this war is necessary to protect U.S. citizens from a nuclear holocaust!
Pandora’s Box was already open and President Trump is trying to close it!
The best we can do is pray for him and our service men and women!
Westmoreland’s often fictitious nightly body counts were a big part of the daily lying. That man should never have been promoted so high.
I remember those body counts. The guys in my company, the 430th, just rolled their eyes!
Thank you for your service.
Thanks, Mike. I was just a stateside army grunt during Vietnam. Never went to ‘Nam and glad I didn’t!
Thank you for your service, nonetheless.
Your service here or there was and is appreciated.
At that point, most promotions are all political. At war time some are promoted for being unrelenting warfighters with really good battlespace brains and troop leading charisma (Schwarzkopf comes to mind).
Yes, but the body count business went beyond mere political. It was intentionally deceitful. And not deceitful to an enemy but to the American people. That was new and had been brewing since the Korean War. In the 1980s the Army had people go around to posts giving lectures to officers that that kind of thing was unacceptable in a truly professional military. I remember sitting through one of those in the theater with probably half the other officers on post and thought that it was an impressive presentation. But I don’t think it was too successful considering how easy it was for Obama and later Biden to subvert so much.
From about the time the draft was instituted in 1940 and up to the early months of 1942, Gen. Marshall put considerable effort toward running the clearly political senior officers off active duty, at least if they were not also clearly good warfighting material. He was pretty successful. Some of what Hegseth has been doing over this past year recalls what Marshall did, as I bet Hegseth is well aware.
“Weapons of Mass Destruction used to justify the war didn’t exist”
Sadaam Hosein used mustard gas on Iran during the Iraq-Iran war.
Iraq had yellow cake uranium that the US removed after the war and sold it to a Canadian company.
Kennedy started with troops in Viet Nam and Johnson started the all-out war with a fake attack on one of our ships.
Nixon ended the war and the democrats impeached him then created so much division that there was no longer support to allow Viet Nam to be able to defend itself.
Saddam’s Secrets (2006) by Iraqi AF General Georges Sada details the how and why of the disappearing WMDs and…wait for it…how western patsies (esp. the UN) were played by Saddam to keep his seat and undermine his enemies. Sada’s story is remarkable, too.

Khamenei was ruthless and broke every promise from the original revolution that put the Mullahs in power. You know, much like communists and democrats. This article goes in-depth about all the machinations Iran’s Ayatollah was involved in.
And why does anyone even listen to Tucker Carlson anymore? The man has admitted he was physically attacked by demons in the middle of the night. He has no credibility.
Hackworth was a prophet.
He was definitely onto something.
Anyone who believes what is taking place in Iran this weekend is similar to what took place in Vietnam for many years knows nothing about Vietnam.

Everyone, take a deep breath.
In your posts the most important message you should share is your support President Trump, his administration, and our military. Pray…pray hard for them.
Amen. I never knew we had such softies.
Potential fracturing occurring in Iran…
“The Fog of War.” It is MUCH too soon to tell. The military campaign isn’t even over yet.
What part of potential didn’t register with you?
Does London, like NYC have a Muslim Mayor? Sounds as though Mr. Luongo has a point.
Does a frog bump his butt when he hops? 🙂 They do, but that isn’t the reason Tom mentions London – his reference is to “the city of London”, which includes people both in London and outside of the UK.
He gets more and more maniacal each day…..
I would love to see the US completely close down all of the military bases we have in western europe and GTF out…..100% out.
These western europeans have been gigantic ticks feeding exclusively on the american taxpayers for generations. Let them fight amongst themselves. They have nothing we need……absolutely nothing.
They smile about their price-fixed prescription drugs while american families have to sell assets just to pay for theirs. It’s disgusting.
If one goes back in History to when Islam was taking over Malta and advancing on into Europe (again) the ‘Christians were fighting their Protestant against Catholic wars and the Pope at the time, around middle 1500’s had to get them to stop fighting each other long enough to repel the Muslims @ Lepanto, a Victory.
However, they started picking at each other (again) and the whole alliance fell apart as they all went back to fighting amongst themselves. Which led to the Gates of Vienna on September 11, 1638. Not Ancient History.

quit using YOUR Vassal Tribute Visit to the CCP as a ” motivating moment ”
TAKE NOTE –> AMERICA
Typical globalist – blame the people to hide the truth, the fault lays with the “rulers” and their moronic policies, such as those adopted by Germany, ranging from the massive influx of 3rd world retards to the great green climate change hoax to a welfare state geared towards the 3rd worlders.
He can spew spit and gesticulate all he wants, it won’t change reality – and they people should tell him to pound sand until they reverse ALL of their insane policies.

We don’t care what armchair quarterbacks have to say now.
Charlie is talking about what he calls, “two extremes,” while leaving all other equations out of the picture.
There also is a video out there of Charlie basically saying the opposite. Now, I don’t know date and time stamps. But he had some different views on Iran.
Folks need to understand a World War has been in progress since 2015 … when President Trump came down the escalator in Trump Tower.
Obama, the Clintons (2016), Auto-Pen JoeBama (2020-2024) and many of the same actors in congress (and executive branch agencies) for the past 20 years were in the process of transitioning the US into a vassal nation … a la Vichy France of 1940.
The “fronts” in this war are are: economic, full scale military operations and guerilla operations.
From 2009 through 2024 …. the enemy lead by China Inc. has been allowed to establish millions of military cells in the democrat party owned areas of the US. ALL 3-Branches of the US Government are crawling with embedded quislings who subvert using our very own legal system from within the government.
To sit back and attempt to just “root out and confront” the evil … solely operating inside our borders … to leave the major FOREIGN supporting base of the enemy inside the US untouched … is a loosing strategy … period.
You have to attack … economically and at times with military force to destroy or at least heavily disrupt-weaken the forces supporting the enemy inside our borders and operating to isolate the US Globally.
The operation vs Iran is a necessary action to wreck one of the vulnerable major external forces aiding the enemy inside our borders.
This is not a case of … “fight them off-shore … so we don’t have to fight them inside the US.”
This is a WORLD WAR, requiring responses Globally to defeat the enemy already entrenched on our shores.
What is this I am hearing about Iran proxy terrorist attack on beltway in Virginia? Supposely FBI released info.
Watch Defender on yt.
Is this at Little River Turnpike exit from 495?
Getting info from friend, he says 4 peoplemstabbed, and prep shout. (Wjla.com)
Have multiple confirmations from locals via text. Two victims red tagged. Wjla.com doesnt work from my browser, and I havent found any other web sources yet.
Still cant find anything more than there was just a shooting at that location, no ties to Iran given.
YMMV. Propaganda and disinfo are rampent right now, but stay aware of your surroundings.

It’s a wonder this thing flies at all
At the Duluth MN airshow a few years back we had a B2 flyover that was supposed to be just that, fly over. To everyone’s surprise the crew announced they were ahead of schedule, the weather was perfect, and they did a little showing off with 3 more passes exposing the belly, then the top. and finally scooting away. Most astounding was the almost lack of sound until it got right in front of us.
Awesome.
Ah, brings back memories of walking in Cumbria, you’d only realise that a low-level Vulcan bomber was approaching when its shadow loomed over you! Of course a second later you were deafened!
Talking of Cold-War air-frames, Iran had some F-4’s and F-14’s but I don’t know if they are in any condition to fly, given they are 50 years with maintenance problems due to shortages caused by sanctions, and lack of skilled technicians.
That’s beautiful!
They are impressive.
I had one pass over my head in the Target parking lot, west of Joliet…and yes, quiet like a church mouse. I don’t know what made me look up but is was practically over my head…and flying low…
Am thinking it was around the time of one of the Chicago Air and Water shows, about 10-15 years ago…
Respectfully, it’s not really a surprise. Leftist media-noise and political sabotage notwithstanding, the B-2 always been a well-crafted, military flying machine. Welcome to the state-of-the-art. Well done and thank you, Northrop-Grumman et al.
A mass stabbing incident occurred on the southbound lanes of Interstate 495 (the Capital Beltway) near Little River Turnpike in Annandale, Virginia, on Sunday, March 1, 2026.
The event began after a multi-vehicle crash, during which a suspect allegedly exited a vehicle and attacked multiple people with a knife.
Key details:
Thank You.
That area of Fairfax is mostly foreign born including central American gang members and other Latinos. There are also a lot of Indians, muslims, Koreans, Vietnamese, etc.
The multiplex near that exit has had several machete incidents over the years. Much of Fairfax, VA is like the UN – everyone from everywhere – no shared language or anything else.
Annandale has been taken over mostly by Koreans, followed closely by Islamists. Literally half the retail stores have Korean signs.
I also happen to know for a fact, an undercover DHS/DEA unit has a secret office along the turnpike. I used to work right by them and watch them do stagings in the back parking lot. It was crazy to see some of the undercover. Guys you would be certain are not good humans and wouldn’t want to be in a dark alley with. White dudes, Hispanic dudes, black dudes, Asian dudes. It was fascinating to watch.
They nailed the look as far as being undercover.
Fourteen years ago I woke up to the news that Andrew Briebart had passed away. We lost a warrior that day. Still miss him terribly.
Wow! That seems dangerous as plenty of nutcases out there. That shows she is comfortable in knowing her viewpoint is shared by most.

Makes me think of the song “Michael row your boat ashore….”
Peace and joy to you and yours…
BREAKING – Iranian TV networks are now being hacked to display President Trump with a message to the Iranian people telling them to rise up.

Good evening America, how are ya?

What are all these filled in ballots without signatures, you got there little lady?
I was looking for them…did not find them…haha…now I know why! Its Illinois after all!
Still icey cold here in northern Minnesota. 5 degrees right now.
But tomorrow we should be up to 30 degrees, so we’ll be doing a happy dance then!
Enjoy the heat wave!
What we know about Ndiaga Diagne, suspect in Austin 6th Street mass shooting
Austin police on Sunday identified Ndiaga Diagne, 53, as a suspect in the early morning mass shooting on West Sixth Street that left three dead – including Diagne – and 14 injured.
Police Chief Lisa Davis said Diagne drove a “large SUV” around the block multiple times before he stopped in front of the bar, put his flashers on, rolled down the window and began firing a pistol – striking patrons on the bar patio and in front of the bar. He then drove westbound on Sixth Street, parked on Wood Street and began walking east on Sixth Street with an assault rifle, shooting at people walking by, Davis said.
Officers already stationed nearby on East Sixth Street responded within moments to reports of an active shooter and confronted Diagne at an intersection along the corridor, fatally shooting him.
Diagne, who was fatally shot by police mid-rampage, was a Senegalese native who obtained U.S. citizenship in 2012, authorities said. At the time of the shooting, he was wearing clothing that bore an image of the Iranian flag and the words “Property of Allah.”
Todd Bruder, a neighbor who has lived in the area since 2015, said he believed the family that lived at the house were devout Muslims. A woman who lived at the house wore a hijab and one of the cars had window decals referencing Allah.

Just shows how biased some polls are. Another poll yesterday had Crockett up 12%.
Looks like there will be a runoff in the Republican race.
Hunt should drop out. He has the worst voting record in Congress and he blames it on the birth of his third child.
He will. Likely neither will get to 50% and then I believe there is a run off of some type? Texans can join in on that one.

The regime can appoint a successor, worse than the old one, and confidently claim that “nothing is wrong.” But I don’t think that things are actually going to turn out that way for them. I don’t expect there to be anything left of their power.
Iran was a star of the Middle East before power was hijacked 47 years ago. There are still people alive who remember that glory.
Why does my second post make me think of the joke about the monkey and the cue ball?
YMMV, looks legit to me.

We must rid our country of these monsters –The UK is too weak https://modernity.news/2026/03/01/migrants-filmed-catching-and-butchering-swans-ducks-in-uk-and-ireland
A brief backgrounder…
For those crashing out, and unable/unwilling to understand the Trump Administration’s rationale here:
Over the past 125 years, the British Empire has maintained a strategic stranglehold on the Middle East through a calculated policy of geopolitical and financial destabilization. Operating on the imperial maxim of geopolitics and “divide and rule,” British policymakers have systematically manipulated religious and ethnic tensions to prevent the emergence of sovereign, industrialized nation-states in the region.
A primary mechanism for this destabilization was the artificial redrawing of Middle Eastern borders following the collapse of the Ottoman Empire. Through the secret Sykes-Picot Accord and the subsequent Treaty of Sèvres, the British and French carved up the region into colonial mandates, ensuring that countries like Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, and Palestine were designed with built-in ethnic and religious conflicts. To manage this volatile arrangement, British intelligence utilized operatives like T.E. Lawrence and Aubrey Herbert as specialists to steer diverse Middle Eastern proxy movements and keep the region in a “chronic state of shipwreck”. The creation of modern Middle Eastern borders and states was intended to serve as a perpetual irritant, keeping local populations at each other’s throats as pawns in a much larger imperial game.
Iran, historically known as Persia, has been a central target of these British imperial designs. As early as 1907, King Edward VII orchestrated the Anglo-Russian Entente, which explicitly divided Iran into spheres of influence and neutralized its autonomy to check rival powers. Financial warfare was weaponized alongside diplomacy; for instance, in 1911, the British issued a major loan to Persia using the nation’s own opium revenues as collateral, effectively hooking the state into colonial debt. The British oligarchy also maintained control over Iran’s vast resources through allied institutions like the British Bank of the Middle East.
Following World War II, the British desperately sought to retain their grip on Middle Eastern oil reserves to underwrite their financial empire. When figures like Italian leader Enrico Mattei attempted to negotiate fair, independent energy deals with Middle Eastern nations, including Iran, the British Foreign Office viewed him as a mortal threat to their colonial relationships and oil control. Mattei was ultimately assassinated in a plot with heavy British fingerprints.
Today, the enduring conflicts in the Middle East, including the hostility between Iran and Israel, are direct outgrowths of this old European strategy of divide and rule. Modern globalist factions, aligned with British banking and intelligence networks, have continued to stoke these proxy wars to prevent Eurasian economic integration. By hyping threats like the “Shia Crescent” and weaponizing sanctions, these forces aim to keep Iran isolated and the region chaotic. The perpetual threat of Iranian nuclear enrichment has served as a convenient “bogeyman” to justify endless intervention and keep the military-industrial complex funded.
The British and their allies understand that if major regional powers were allowed to stabilize and independently develop their oil and infrastructure—such as the massive rail and energy corridors currently being built by Russia and China through Iran—the City of London’s financial control over global energy markets would collapse.
End British meddling, restore order to the region.
Topple the Crown…free the world!
This short talk summarizes the British strategy and history regarding Iran:

Did Thomas Massie know he was being recognized by a man responsible for lobbying efforts that kept the murderous Ayatollah in power for nearly 2 decades?
Did Thomas Massie know that NIAC was referred to the DOJ im 2018 for violations of FARA. Many believe the man Massie is shaking hands with only left NIAC because of the scrutiny of their actions.
How much blood is on the hands of the man that Thomas Massie is shaking hands with just 3 months ago on December 2, 2025?
This guy was on Bannon the other day with a well known Jewish pastor. I forget his name. Funny, the pastor supported President Trump, but both believed attacking was a bad idea. I’ve never heard of the guy until then.
