The Game Plan
Sundance @TheLastRefuge2
“Trump will not find perfect solutions. He will find OPTIMAL solutions. We cannot ask for more.
Trump has stood by and watched Perfect murder Good for 8 years – maybe longer. He’s not gonna do it. He’s going to deliver the best outcome possible, and he’s not waiting for us to feel relaxed about it.
Best presidency ever! Just hang on. More winning is coming, but a lot of people are going to scream that it’s all over at EVERY turn.
The best way through this is to define viewpoints, not people, because people will shift as they change position and velocity in Trump gravity.
Bash the neocon, warmonger, and dopey globalist positions – not the people who are going to hold them one moment and come loose from them later.
Trump is Jupiter moving through the asteroid belt. He is going to pull people into his orbit.
A few will get slung off into space, but most will come along for the ride of their lives.
I am ON the Trump Train for good, even if I scream that I want off and can’t take it. In the end, I only want to scream “TOO MUCH WINNING!!!”
Unseen1 @unseen1_unseen
Here is the game plan that the forces against Trump will be using for the foreseeable future.
They will attempt to get you to make the perfect the enemy of the good.
Be it the freedom clowns and spending, the immigration hawks with H1B visas, the peace doves with timing, the cultural warriors with total bans of DEI/CRT, the neocons with war fighting, or the swamp dwellers with draining the swamp.
All of them will attempt to get you to believe on whatever issue is the issue of the day that it doesn’t go far enough or do enough. They will try to make you think that some sub issue of that issue is more important and should be handled first, that since the issue hasn’t been handled yet it won’t be, that we can’t do more than one thing, that so and so is a plant to stop the draining of the swamp, or that because it wasn’t 100% Trump lied. On every single issue, one or more groups will attempt this strategy.
You can’t allow them that power over you. If Trump secures the border and deports 2 million, don’t allow them to reduce that good by them saying well he didn’t deport 2.5 million, so he failed or lied.
You can’t allow them to use the perfect to void out the good in the coming months.
They will try. They already have with the CR and the H1b visa debates. It works, that is why they use it. You have to keep it in the front of your head on everything about to occur that half a loaf or hopefully in most cases 7/8ths a loaf is better than no loaf.
Do not allow them to gaslight you into thinking the good is the enemy of the perfect.
In the real world, most things are never perfect, but if we try real hard, we can get plenty of good accomplished in the coming 4 years.

The purpose and goals of President Trump are plainly visible by his actions and consistent: He is for the benefit first of the common PEOPLE of this country, then of the PEOPLE in the rest of the world. It is validating, even to our battered conservative skepticism.
The methods of his leadership are amazing. I still don’t get HOW he does it, or HOW he is able to get so much momentum going, but every day the momentum is growing. Everyone and every organization has their eyes opened every day — just by watching him. Even those who hate him, are biased against him, and want to see him gone — cannot ignore him. He lives rent free in their head, and they come around to seeing the universal principles by which he is operating. He hammers actions based on truth from one direction, then another, and they cannot mount an organized opposition against him.
President Trump is transparent in his words and actions. He is consistent in what he says, what he does, and what he asks/demands of others. His promises are bold and he keeps them like no other president has. He is making massive, nearly overnight changes, not only in our country, but in the world. It is amazing that he is able to accomplish so much when there are so many snakes in the grass. This term, he is weeding them out faster. No U.S. president has ever faced so much organized resistance and treason than President Trump
He has chosen to use his intellect and every skill he has to do what is right. He has tremendous faith that he can make a difference in this world. He has a confidence and courage such that he doesn’t care what others think, yet a humility to know he has to do it with the help of like minded people. Those people are the “common” people, and he ridicules those who think they are not common.
He believes people are basically good. He believes that God is real. He believes that healthy people are happy people, and they need to be able to create wealth freely for their labor, and have the freedom to spend their money on what is good for them.
He believes the United States, with its Constitutional Republic, is the best environment in the world to enable and give opportunity for people to be happy and prosperous.
He believes that we can be a light for the world, but we must demand that the rest of the world respect us and our right to life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of happiness.
He believes the enemy of our country are the stupid, greedy American people who have been selfishly taking advantage of this country; who betrayed the trust and obedience of its people; and who diverted the people’s wealth for their own selfish gain, at the expense of the principles of this country. He’s not going to allow that anymore.
He has cultivated and focused the family of MAGA. Identifying those people whose goodness, industriousness, trust, and obedience have been taken advantage of and abused. He has opened our eyes to this abuse, and the rights of freedom and self determination that have been quietly stolen from us.
He has rekindled the healthy distrust of government and men with too much power held by our founders. He has recultivated the desire to reclaim our freedoms and rights, and is empowering us with a hope and pathway to reclaim our spiritual and economic freedom.
He wants the US to be a light of hope on the hill for all people. He will negotiate win/win agreements with those nations and countries who respect us; who respect the principles and intent of our Constitution. If you do not respect us, however, we are not going to let you take advantage of our goodness, or share in our wealth at our expense. If you as a nation are treating your people badly, you are going to be treated less favorably by us, until you show that you value your people as much as we value ours.
He is convincing those who are very wealthy (most of whom truly earned their money), that the best economic soil in which to build wealth is in a constitutional republic, which supports the ability of the common man to earn wealth in proportion to his efforts. The economic engine of the United States is the human spirit freed to enjoy the fruits of honest labor, and that engine has more natural and raw horsepower than any other governed economy.
The Trump Train seems to be remarkably aligned with universal principles of Truth, which reflect the will and design of our Creator, and are the best standard by which we should live. These same principles were what our country’s founders used to declare independence, and framed into the Constitution of this nation.
Our founders believed that a nation should preserve the right and freedom of an individual to seek, understand, and live by God’s principles. They believed that free individuals working together in humility would make a stronger nation than a government which dictates its will on the people. President Trump professes and seeks to lead and restore this nation back to these same principles.
These principles resonate deeply within all human beings, down to our DNA in every cell, in our spirits, and produce fruit that “miraculously” multiplies. Because we follow universal principles, we see the snowballing acceleration of momentum on day 60 of the 2nd year of the 2nd term of this very stable genius in the history of the kingdoms of this world in the year of our Lord 2025.
Amen. Go God beat the devil.
Amen
Amen
Amen!

🚨 Tweet #16: Special Counsel John Durham spent four years investigating what happened to American elections.
His final report was delivered to Congress in May 2023.
Inside that report was a criminal referral.
Not to the Department of Justice. Not to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
To the Department of Defense Inspector General.
The internal watchdog of the entire United States military.
Cont reading…
https://twitter.com/PeterBernegger/status/2034797616668479511
The Inspector Generals are in the Executive branch and refer matters for prosecution to the Judiciary branch where the public has witnessed sheer corruption and dangerous decisions emanating therefrom. It would seem that the founders thought that the Legislative branch could resolve issues with the other two branches. But now there is evidence that there is rot in the election system thereby preventing a legislative solution to the issue as it currently stands. So what tools does the public have to resolve this issue as the current occupants of the Legislative branch are not ‘Representatives’ of the public as the elections have been tainted?
Similar to the pattern in AZ. But after multitudes of issues found, NOTHING HAPPENED BUT GASLIGHTING DID.
That’s when media took off with their chanting of “No widespread fraud.”
Satan loves it when the media chants against our constitution.
And illegals cancel out our votes.
This whole issue is one in a long list of issues that the DS media shouts down immediately as opposed to covering. The “never happens” and “been adjudicated 60 times” are the circulated pat answers and it’s easy to see who is on the memo.
Slows the truth coming out, but it’s coming, just like COVID criminality and Russia collusion. J6 will also be tossed in with this truth trickling out.
Fortunately the truth came out very, very quickly here in the Treehouse.
Today is an opinion day at SCOTUS. Opinions start at 10 EDT. Live-blogging at http://www.scotusblog.com (not affiliated with the Court).
One case ripe for decision is the Callais case from Louisiana; this case was argued in October. This case challenges a provision in the 1965 Voting Rights Act that been used to create congressional districts in which a group that is a racial minority in the state is a majority in that district.
The Callais challengers claims this violates the Fourteenth Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause. If the Court strikes down this provision of the VRA, one expects there would be a lot of lawsuits challenging districting in which these minority-majority districts were created. This could really upend all the redistricting being done in several states, and not just in blue states.
Did a quick search. On the surface, Callais addresses an extra district added to LA based upon the 2020 census. LA expanded from 5 to 6 districts and, after lawsuits, 2 districts (i.e., one third) were ordered to be minority-majority reflecting the demographics of LA (one third black).
Importantly, the impact of the Callais decision could affect up to 27 districts nationwide. Yes, there are up to 27 House districts gerrymandered to ensure black Americans are secured in Congress.
So much for a meritocracy.
Well, at least Jazzy Crockett isn’t one of them, nor the cave man with his stick.
I’m not sure Roberts has the guts to do this now. Needs to wait until closer to the election.
Here’s a link to today’s ruling, Olivier vs City of Brandon:
https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25pdf/24-993_10n2.pdf
Kagan wrote the unanimous opinion.
A street preacher (that’s what we called them in the day) was arrested and sentence to stop his activities near a venue that had large people attending. He didn’t contest the conviction or sentence which barred him from doing his thing when the venue had large events scheduled (that was a city ordinance that had previously been passed) – he sued saying barring his actions at future events was a violation of his free speech rights, not a lawsuit against the previous sentencing. The city said he can’t sue because it would open a (my words here:) a pandoras box of problems when it comes to future lawsuits.
The court ruled yes the man can sue over his free speech rights for future events.
(am sure I muddled that explanation but the link is easy to read what the court was ruling on.)
Regarding Iran:
‘What’s all this talk about the straight vermouth?’ 🙂
They don’t allow Gay Goose…

And especially no TransGanders 🙂
No words needed on this one🤣🤣🤣
Be careful or they’ll start yelling llama snackbar.
Great!
Today SCOTUS again meets in private conference. They may vote on the cases in which they held oral argument this week. They are also scheduled to vote on pending petitions for cert. One of these is Trump v. Carroll, the case filed by E. Jean Carroll for an alleged assault at Bergdorf Goodman’s department store in New York City more than 20 years before. It was heard by a federal jury in SDNY. The trial judge was a Clinton appointee. Trump lost in the Second Circuit, so is now appealing to SCOTUS.
The jury entered a verdict in favor of Carroll, no doubt in part because of the testimony of some other women who claimed that Trump had grabbed or groped them at other times in other years and other places (one allegedly took place on an airplane). Trump’s counsel objected to the introduction of this evidence as speculative and prejudicial.
The petition asks the Court to grant review on the following issues:
(1)Whether Federal Rule of Evidence 415 overrides Rule 403’s requirement to balance the probative value of temporally remote propensity evidence against its prejudicial effect before such evidence can be admitted?; (2) Whether Federal Rule of Evidence 413(d) authorizes the admission of temporally remote propensity evidence that the defendant committed the “crime” of “sexual assault” when the alleged prior act did not constitute a crime or a sexual assault?; and (3) Whether Federal Rule of Evidence 404(b)(2) permits the admission of “modus operandi” or “corroboration” evidence of prior “bad acts” without establishing a non-propensity purpose of the evidence, such as identity, absence of mistake, or another enumerated exception in Rule 404(b)(2)?
Propensity is the tendency to commit particular acts, so Carroll was basically arguing that he’d grabbed women in other places in other years, so the jury should accept that it was likely that he’d done it to her. The problem with this is how specific and similar (including in time and in number) must the prior acts be to establish a person’s tendency to repeat the behavior.
It takes four votes to grant cert. Whether the fact that two of the justice have also been accused of indecent behavior by women in the past, and have vehemently denied these claims factors into the Court’s decision, I don’t know. If the Court does accept cert, expect there to be calls for Thomas and Kavanaugh to recuse themselves.
The Court Clerk is scheduled to publish the orders from today’s conference on Monday before the oral argument. The Court could also hold this petition over for another conference, which it sometimes does. Should Trump get cert, the case would be argued in the 2026-2027 term.
This case has been re-scheduled three time before with no decision on cert.
Democrat judges NEVER recluse themselves or even attempt to hide their prejudices. In fact they use their power brazenly! 🤔
It’s obvious they manipulate the rotating judge schedule to block anything Republican or conservative so a fair and impartial judge doesn’t get the case. It is disgusting.

If only Thune wasn’t such a low-life liar and RINO that bends knee to McConnell and his string pullers.
He said they didn’t want to be the first to get rid of the regular filibuster – yet the so called “nuclear option” been used by both parties numerous times to get rid of it for a particular vote (for confirmations of judges and appointments).
The other day he also said he didn’t have the votes to push a talking filibuster…I say do it and force the vote.
Thune is going to make us lose the house and senate for 2026. Book it,
As planned.
Even when they are in the majority they act like they’re the minority.
The Balance of Power is a carefully choreographed balancing act… fine-tuned to exacting detail, in this case…

That’s b/c so many Rs are really Ds that run as Rs in districts they know they would lose if they ran as their true party affiliation.
Thune should be the least of the Republicans’ worries right now.
I don’t agree with your pessimism.
As aggravating as Thune and his cling-ons are, they are infinitely more palatable than the Dims who have flat out voted against even pure Voter ID requirements and would absolutely crush this nation if in power.

Aren’t the Democrats always howling about saving our Democracy? Actually we’re not a democracy but a Republic.
Democracy and Republic are not mutually exclusive terms. Where they are taken to mean drastically different things, it is a good hint that one or both of them has been perverted. As in ‘the Democratic People’s Republic of (wherever).” Or “the Democratic Party.”
Democracy usually means government by representatives who are elected by the people — basically what we have had since the founding of our country. Direct democracy, the idea that each citizen has a direct voice in ruling, a very uncommon thing, was never practiced or intended in the USA.
The word republic is usually used to emphasize the distinction between rule by royals and rule by the will of the people (a thing of the people , res publica) — typically through representatives and executive they elect.
I had to laugh. An article on TGWP said Iran was a theocratic republic. I asked how can Iran be a theocracy if it is a republic? The same stupidity. Mark Levin spouts that nonsense too, and he knows better, but it fires up his ignorant listeners.
All a republic means is the ruler is not a monarch. King, Queen, Prince, Emir, Sultan, Emperor, Tsar or some like monarch. Especially an inherited ruler. Republic tells you nothing about how those leaders are chosen, or for what they stand. Saying a nation can’t be a democracy is like saying an orange can’t be a citrus because it is a fruit.
When Democrats speak about “Our Democracy” they mean neither.
They mean their right to always win.
You mean their right to steal elections shouldn’t be contested? Right?

I hope so. She was asked by one of the Dimms during yesterday’s hearing whether she’s confiscated machines in other locations. They’re definitely concerned.
Since we decided to start a war with Iran and it’s not going as smoothly as initially suggested maybe it’s time to stop the “pinprick” strikes and unleash some real damage on population centers like we did in Iraq. Bomb Tehran hitting every government building, police station, water and sewer plant and electric power facility. It’ll end in 24 hours! This bs has gone on long enough!
The mission to end what Iran began is going along just fine.
Stop the whining.
EXCELLENT EXPLANATION OF THE PLAN
WHOSE WAR?☙ Thursday, March 19, 2026 ☙ C&C NEWS
The Iran War is blowing up —literally AND figuratively— but in a good way, despite corporate media’s mendacious framing. Here is what you need to know before diving into the hot takes.
https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/whose-war-thursday-march-19-2026
“We” started and “it’s not going smoothly.” You could have stopped there before wasting any more of anyone else’s time.
From all reports, the mission has exceeded their timetables and expectations are being met. The predicted length of actions was at least 4-5 weeks which has not quite been met yet and that was not a firm deadline. There’s no reason to wish for more harm to come to the people of Iran than is necessary, also a stated goal of the mission.
What military action always goes as planned without any issues? None. So far, it seems this one is proceeding well. Will other plans be put in place because of circumstances that came up during the actions? Probably. Keep listening to what the command leaders are telling us and what is being done. So far this has been pretty successful.
There you go again with common sense… Don’t you know its much better to whine, complain and ignore reality?
We did not start this war.
But we are finishing it.
Makes you sad, doesn’t it?

US civil rights leader Cesar Chavez accused of sexual abuse

If Cesar Chavez just started today the things he did in the 60’s he would be arrested for terrorism! May he rot in ****!
Chavez already is rotting. Since April of 1993.
Makes you wonder why they waited so long.
Yeah! I saw the evils of Chavez growing up in Delano Ca, and surrounding area! Saw the hurt He and his savage followers did to local farmers and their Families!
Hate is a harsh word! I hated every-time I saw his name going on a school street etc! Hopefully it will be removed off everything!
This trend of renaming streets is cracking me up.
Maybe the left might try idolizing actual good people.
Oh wait.
The mayor of Portland is considering renaming Cesar Chavez Blvd.
Ha watch it be named Barack Obama.
Sadly, the people putting his name on public stuff well knew he was a criminal.
Pretty amazing how the left has disguised his real history. He was highly anti immigration because it took work from his people already here and his cause which he profited from. The media and the left made him an icon for their own greedy purposes all these years.
I highly doubt they will cast him out after they spent so many years building his image to the public for their own purposes. Like a more quiet example in Bernie Sanders in many ways, Chavez was as fake a socialist, communist as there is. It was all about how much he could get for himself and the left has used him for the same reasons.
Maybe we get lucky and he is personna non grata finally. Highly doubtful though. The left takes their corrupt heroes and promotes them to higher status all the time.
Greetings Treepers! 🙏✝️🙏
Howdy!
Insanity.
Netanyahu called for a ground component into Iran
On March 19, 2026, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated during a press conference addressing foreign media that the ongoing U.S.-Israeli air campaign against Iran (now in its 19th or 20th day) has significantly degraded Iran’s capabilities. He claimed Iran no longer has the capacity to enrich uranium or manufacture ballistic missiles, describing the situation as “we are winning, and Iran is being decimated,” with its missile/drone arsenal, air defenses, navy, and related production facilities heavily targeted.
However, Netanyahu emphasized that achieving meaningful regime change or a revolution in Iran cannot be accomplished through air strikes alone. He explicitly said a “ground component” is necessary, stating variations of:
He tied this to the idea that the Iranian people must ultimately “rise to the moment” to overthrow their regime, but air power alone isn’t sufficient to enable that.
There has to be a way to air-drop rifles and ammunition to the regular people of Iran.
If America has control of the skies of Iran, America MUST put thousands of rifles and cartridges into the hands of the long-suffering Iranian people.
Hopefully there will be plenty of automatic weapons delivered so the murderers of the Iranian regime can themselves be cut to pieces, under a merciless hail of bullets, as they did in their slaughter of thousands of unarmed, protesting Iranian civilians.
The people should chase down every monster of the regime into every house, every street, every alley, every closet, every crawl space, behind every rock in the country and rip them apart with so many bullets, their own mothers cannot recognize their torn bodies.
Let the reckoning of the people’s justice in Iran echo across many centuries into the future across the entire Earth.
Hear, Hear! Most definitely.
I think something should befall BiBi. I haven’t been a fan of his for quite some time.
He reeks of hypocrisy and disingenuous actions
Trump denied having prior knowledge a major escalation targeting Iran’s South Pars nat gas field (world’s largest).
The schism is getting worse, I think.
This touched off reposting clips of Rubio saying Israel started the war without Trump’s consent etc etc.
He is in charge of his country and how to keep it safe. The media plays the hate Israel and BB quite well but the real truth is hardly ever stated, whatever it might be. If the people of Israel want a change in leadership, it’s their right to do so.
The people of Israel consider BiBi a HERO !!!
About 2 days into the present conflict one yeahwho’s people said the quiet part out loud…. When this is over we have to keep close watch on Turkey.
Who had Turkey on their bingo card as the next boogie man??
For many years… Erdogan has made no secret of his desire to be the reconstituted Islamic Caliphate’s Grand Caliph.
If that didn’t make it to your bingo card you’re playing the wrong game.
Turkey has been lurking as a major player for decades. They are sitting quietly at the moment but bet the farm there are plenty of things going on below the surface. I don’t think any head of state is ignoring them at all. It’s just that nobody is saying anything. Yet. The international bingo game has always had a square with Turkey on it, right in the middle of the card.
“There are many possibilities for this ground component, and I take the liberty of not sharing with you all those possibilities.”
Translation: “There are many possibilities for this ground component, and the Trump administration will have to figure out the best way to make that happen. Sooner rather than later, preferably.”
Bibi should have thrown a “Thank you for your attention to this matter” cherry on top of that Sh*t Sundae.
“He tied this to the idea that the Iranian people must ultimately “rise to the moment” to overthrow their regime”
Let’s be clear: this scenario doesn’t even register on the Practicality Scale, and the likelihood of something like that playing out is somewhere around 0%. IRGC would have no problem killing 10’s of thousands of untrained, scattershot civilian battalions in the first week alone.
No, no, no… “popular uprising” is Bibi’s JUSTIFICATION for U.S. ground troops. If that’s not a Red Line for Trump personally, then I would be shocked… but who the hell knows, at this point…
F%#ck Nutty Yahoo!
Well, maybe he is justifying Israel’s wants going forward. It seems that President Trump is not in favor of doing anything like that. Netanyahu is probably getting put into check by our President on any further war moves at this point.
What is the right play here? Finish the regime off or let them try to keep their hold on the Iranian govt? What do the other ME countries want? What do the people of Iran want? All questions needing answers. Israel will have to be very careful about which path they eventually take here.

Muslims do not like black people. They are used as slaves all over the Islamic world. The Arabic word for slave is “Abeed” The Arabic word for black is “Abeed”
And they were castrated for good measure. This is why there aren’t any black populations in Arabia.

Netanyahu says Iran is being ‘decimated’ but revolution requires ‘ground component’
https://www.cnbc.com/2026/03/19/netanyahu-trump-us-israel-iran-ground-component.html
Yes. The ground component being the citizens of Iran. He is correct though in the fact that the remnants of the Ayotollahs and their loyal military are scattered across this very large country and hiding themselves as best they can. From the skies it’s hard to find them all. What happens going forward is very murky at best right now. Do the people need help from ground forces? Maybe. It doesn’t look like the USA will be the ones to do that however. At least, we hope they don’t.
Maybe other Arab nations will step in and help the people of Iran get rid of this oppressive regime once and for all.
Then let him use his own troops .
Looking more and more like Trump will send in ground forces. They really did not think this part through completely. There should have been a plan to have the Iranians do this shit work.
The eeeyew will be boots on the ground… they are the mob that needs the oil and gas.
Nope… the EU will expect the USA to do it for them…
President Trump is not sending ground troops into Iran.
The mission is proceeding well against the Iranian forces ability to attack and kill others, as well as the financial methods used to export terrorism around the world.
Stop the whining.
The President will use US military forces as he and the senior planners may direct. You will know after it happens. Not before. “Knowledge Is Power.”
Your patronization is duly noted.
President Trump is not sending ground troops into Iran.
Whatever happened to Sundance’s rule that there will be a 5$ charge for whining?
Explain the 2 marine expeditionary forces then.
Well, Mark… The “2 marine expeditionary force” consists of two ol” Marines and their pet, “Ma Deuce”, who will be sent to accept Iran’s surrender when necessary…
Eyore? Is that you?
What’s crazy is the Fox News Boomers are celebrating this.
No one is celebrating. Many are supportive of President Trump’s plan to FINALLY rid the world of the most blatant terrorism in the world.
Stop the whining.
Yes, the Fox News Boomers are celebrating. They think this is a show of President Trump’s “strength”.
Stop getting defensive.
Still whining.
No whining here! Just sorrow for the soldiers’ families that have been and will be impacted.
BS. You’re itching to push a point and any excuse to push said point. Fox News saying anything is plenty reason not to push something.
Who are the boomers, specifically?
Oklahoma U’s football fight song goes: “Boomer Sooner, Boomer Sooner” so I reckon it must be those Oakies…
Thanks for not being afraid to show who you are. . MSM or the Dems? “Fox News Boomers?” Tells us all we need to know.
How do you know President Trump has not lined up the Arab neighbors to do mop-up?
I am guessing that big trip to the middle east, a year ago, might have been more than a show of cultural dances etc…
My thoughts are a lot of keyboard warriors are formulating opinions based on headlines. They have no clue as to what they don’t know…and like Reagan once said…
“they know so much that isn’t so…”
Right there with you. Key board warriors is right. My favorite phrase that I use often is “headline readers” to describe so many people on the left and voters who lack the interest and motivation to actually look for the facts supporting the headlines. We have an abundance of them here in the USA.
You will not receive authentic information about war plans. These could aid the enemy. In time of war, propaganda is the order of the day.
Yes. If news organizations are pushing future plans, it’s propaganda.
Who says there isn’t?
Funny how all the armchair Generals of the internet seem to think they can read the mind of the President of the United States and his military staff.
I will speculate that we will eventually see the Israelis smuggling small arms and munitions to the citizens of Iran to help them deal with the remainders of the current Iranian Regime.
How is it looking more and more like…?
I suspect he tells Israel to get after it.
Guess you missed the press conference yesterday where he stated there are no such plans, regardless of what WaPo, WSJ, CNN, and Mark has to say…
Ground forces can only project power a few hundred yards. Iran has a large army and will practice kamikaze. There are better ways to destroy their deeply entrenched ability to fight. They themselves have not used their armies against their opponents. For one thing, they have a lot of inhospitable deserts.
I promise the Army can project power more than a few hundred yards. I have decent reason to believe this.
The 60 mm mortars I used had a max range of about 3 kilometers, once a fire mission was called for we cloud be set up and dropping rounds in less than 10 minutes.
Too funny…
Highly doubtful.
Yup, “they” made a massive mistake when they did not ask you to think it through completely for them.
I don’t agree. He said no ground troops, and I take him at his word.
Read through the responses. Some of you are total assholes.
Somehow the Iranians need to be armed. The corrupt military needs incentive to turn on whomever is calling the shots…figuratively literally. I don’t think our leadership even knows. Whats left of Iran’s military must be suicidal to the extreme.

Mamdani Furious After Judge Orders Deportation of NYC City Council Employee
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/03/mamdani-furious-judge-orders-deportation-nyc-city-council/
The nerve of a judge to deport an illegal immigrant who held the lofty status of a staff member for the New York City Council has left New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani in high dudgeon
After Wednesday’s ruling, a Department of Homeland Security representative said, “Today, an immigration judge ordered Rafael Andres Rubio Bohorquez, a criminal illegal alien from Venezuela and an employee of New York’s City Council a final order of removal,” according to CBS
“His criminal history includes an arrest for assault. This ruling is a victory for the rule of law. ICE will work as quickly as possible to return this criminal to his home country,” the DHS statement said.
Rubio Bohorquez has been in jail since his January arrest. He has demanded his release in a lawsuit filed in federal court, but federal judge John Cronan has not ordered his release.
Rubio Bohorquez plans to appeal the ruling at the Board of Immigration Appeals, Menin said, according to the New York Post.
We will have to wait and see how the appeals court rules, but in NY the appeals courts are as bad as most district court judges.
This was an easy one.

Just a small point of awareness on internal (USA) propaganda many writers and media types like to use: The democrat party is often presented as “the democratic party” where one reads/hears “democratic” suggesting all kinds of values on the good side of issues…nice move that just flies by many citizens. Even some republicans use the word “democratic” when presenting the democrats’ point of view or whatever.
Subtle yet effective use of language.
Democratic is majority rule. The majority of citizens want the SAVE America Act passed, the democrats are giving the middle finger to the majority of citizens and prove that they rule by ideology and enforce lockstep mind-think among their party office holders. Elite (top) down ruling structure, dictatorship.
The US is not a Democracy but a Representative Republic and our representatives are not doing their jobs and holding it hostage for their own political gain and $$$$$$.
Yup, happening for years.
Yes, true. This is why (long ago) I dropped the “ic” when referring to it. Although there is plenty of “ic” about it.
Democratic Party is their actual name
Wrong!

The plasma ejection from the sun should hit right about . . . one day from now.
Latest CME Activity (March 20, 2026):
A partial halo CME was launched on March 18, 2026, from active region AR4392 (S16W05), following an M2.7 solar flare peaking at 08:42 UTC. This CME is the primary driver of current space weather activity.
Predicted arrival at Earth:
March 20, 2026 (17:24 UTC) – Most confident prediction (97% confidence) from the CMC CME Scoreboard, with a G2 (moderate) to G3 (strong) geomagnetic storm likely.
March 21, 2026 (01:00–02:41 UTC) – A second CME is expected to arrive, potentially enhancing storm levels due to the ongoing disturbance from the first.
Current Impact: The first CME is expected to arrive today (March 20), triggering G2–G3 geomagnetic storms. This may result in auroras visible at mid-northern latitudes, possibly as far south as the northern U.S. states.
Additional CMEs: Three CMEs are now forecast to impact Earth in the coming days, with the second and third arriving on March 21, amplifying storm potential due to the Russell-McPherron effect near the vernal equinox.
Expect wicked storms to result from the atmospheric hot spot.
I nominate the managers of “The Croissanterie” restaurant in Little Rock, AR as IDIOTS OF THE YEAR.
They kicked out Governor Sarah Sanders and her dinner group because some other patrons did not like the Governor and group dining there. The scoundrels raised hell and “flipped off” the Sanders group.
Since when do you let uncouth barbarians run your restaurant?
I fervently hope and pray this restaurant has to quickly cease operating and whoever owns it goes bankrupt as rapidly as possible.
You can’t fix stupid and this IS as stupid as it gets.
The party of ‘tolerance’ (the Democrats and liberals) once again proves their intolerance.
The party of ‘hate doesn’t live here’ (the Democrats and liberals) once again proves their hatefulness.
The restaurant owner waited til the bill was paid…what a maroon (Bugs Bunny quote)…she should have been honored that the state’s leader chose her establishment, for dining pleasure. It would have been a great marketing too…now she risks losing a lot of conservative business…I give it 6 months…
Some of the help was in need of snowflake help services also.
Waited until they paid and tipped before having the distress over come them, owner said they were approaching the 90 minute limit of table time.
I wonder if they could claw back the tips if paid on a credit card?
Oh yeah…and…AND…AND!
“No tax on tips”????
This happened to her some years ago at an outfit called the Red Hen (or some such dopey name). Well, they went out of business years ago.

Joe Kent:
Trump’s stated red line was always “Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.” The late Ayatollah Khamenei enforced the same prohibition internally.
Israel (via officials, FDD, Mark Levin, WSJ editorial page, etc.) laundered a zero-enrichment demand into U.S. policy — a non-starter for Iran, who saw it as a path to Libya/Gaddafi or Iraq/Saddam fate.
This killed pre-war negotiations (Witkoff track) that Kent says were close.
U.S. officials (Rubio, Trump, Speaker) later admitted they struck because “we knew the Israelis were going to attack.” Kent calls this exactly what it sounds like: an ally using the threat of its own action to force America’s hand, knowing Iran would retaliate against U.S. bases and Gulf assets.
Israel unilaterally struck Iran’s South Pars gas field (world’s largest, shared with Qatar). Iran hit back at Gulf energy sites.
Trump publicly said on Truth Social and to reporters: “I told [Netanyahu] ‘Don’t do that’… NO MORE ATTACKS WILL BE MADE BY ISRAEL pertaining to South Pars.” Israeli officials disputed the “we knew nothing” claim.
Kent’s direct advice to Trump (from the interview):
“You have to take away their ability to do that. You have to take away some feature of your defense system… If you tell them that they need to stop bombing this target or that target, they might back off for a week or so, but they’re not going to listen to you.”
Joe Kent on How Israel Drove Trump Towards an Unnecessary War with Iran – 3/19/26
Who cares what that leaker and deep state paid tool has to say and his time for advice to the president is well past at this point synch.
Joe Kent is dead to MAGA and he is NOT a patriot; by his traitorous actions he ruined a well deserved status as an honored veteran of these United States.
The IRGC – not the ghouls in turbans – control the country. Furthermore, it is a major tenet of Islam to lie to the infidel.
Those who think the attack, its not a war, with Iran is wrong then you might want to consider that Iran was working to get a nuclear bomb and, as has been demonstrated, gain super power in weapons. If President Trump had not decided to do this now what of the future? A month, year, two, five? What president besides President Trump has cared so much for America that they offered their life to make a better future for us? Would any of the ‘future’ candidates? Past presidents? Stop and think of Iran and the power it holds now and consider they were working for more. Think they’ll send us flowers with a message ‘death to America’. Use your brains and not your tongues.
What President Trump is doing, too, is putting the brakes on the libs in this country…no doubt this might set them back some..am thinking of the Palestinian supporters and the likes of the Mrs. Mandami, (who has scrubbed her accounts re her statements of antisemitism etc).
The only people beating the “40+ year threat/they’re gonna bomb us any day” drum are the Fox News Boomers who are trying to justify President Trump doing this.
He said it himself – he was only going on a “feeling”.
November is quickly coming. People will speak up with their votes.
Still whining. Now adding lies. You are not the brightest crayon in the box, huh.
you do realize that President Trump has an approval rating of 100% and that’s reported by CNN
The second sentence is a naive lie.
Joe Kent in 2020:
“In the message sent to Trump on January 8, 2020, shortly after the president ordered the assassination of Quds commander Qasem Soleimani, Kent wrote: “We should not sit and wait for the next attack, wipe Iran’s ballistic capability out and get our troops out of Iraq – they are only targets now.”
Does he have proof or is this his now presented script for his new gig? He can speculate all he wants and try to sell it to people. Without proof that’s all it is. Speculation and propaganda being pushed to turn the midterms against Pres. Trump so he can be blocked and possibly removed for the last two years of his term.
The rinos and GOPe strike again. Siding with the Democrat left is never a good idea. Kent just might get his fingers burned if he keeps it up. Show the proof and stop playing with the media to slant and insinuate information to the voters Joe.
Did he take his “concerns” to the President? Or did he publicly resign and is now airing his “concerns”? Quite the “honorable” man…
An interesting confession published last night by one of the supporters of the Iranian regime about the way Iranian Air and Space Force personnel are killed by suffocation inside the tunnels: “One of the friends, who is currently working at the preparation room for burial – AA, said that today they brought a truck with bodies of Air and Space Force personnel.
Apparently, the entrances, exits, and ventilation systems were hit. Those people stayed there for some time, until the air ran out – and they were killed. The one who brought the bodies said they tried several times over the radio to ask for rescue, but were unsuccessful. The last time their voices were still heard, they were reciting lamentations (mourning prayers -AA). We will owe these sons of Iran forever.” (Abu Ali)
https://nitter.poast.org/MOSSADil/status/2034925002579984440#m
Iran has/had a “Space Force”??
They had a fairly modern research facility that was the fulcrum of their long range missile designs – allegedly for launching satellites into space. It’s no longer exists…
Hate to say this, but a lot of people who voted for Trump were luke-warm supporters from the start. Many just couldn’t stomach the insanity of the left and people like Kamala.
The second this conflict began, they started to waver. Now that has prices are nearly $4 in the typically least expensive States, they are not happy at all.
If this is wrapped up soon, like early summer, it’s game over for the midterms. Especially since Thune and the RINOs are blocking everything substantial that passes the House. That is the reality of the situation.
I figured it out. Has=GAS.
Concern duly noted, not given any credence, and rightfully ignored.
Nice reply. I’m just telling you the truth. Deal with it or don’t.
Zero truth in there.
I filled up my tank from a 1/4, like I always do, and it cost the same. Somebody is gouging . . . not gauging . . . gas prices to hurt Americans. We do not get fuel from the middle east.
I believe the gas we buy today was ‘paid for’, 3 months ago in those dollars of 3 months ago…
…so yeah…by me, 3 conglomerate type gas stations, all charge the same…Shell, Speedway and Gas and Wash…Exxon and BP are a few pennies higher…

Petrol in suburban Chicago is 4.39, Diesel is 5.39 by me. I forget how high gas got during Bribem “I did that” admin…but it was painful then.
By this time in the 45 admin, I was doing much better by now…Bribem really did a number on “We the People”, the economy…and Congress…and I suspect we are still feeling it, too.
A Subaru? The enviroweenie statement vehicle?
Late to the game again but I have to defend my Subaru.
Subaru mated a good car with a mountain goat and came up with the Subaru Forester. Excellent in snow and nasty weather; the drawback to the excellent AWD is that if one tire is a different diameter than the others by even a little bit it won’t work, so if you get a flat on older tires you have to replace all 4. I’ve been told to keep mine running as long as I can; it’s my winter car. Only gets 23 mpg, though. Summer is an older VW diesel (don’t need that def crap), 37 mpg in winter with snow tires, 43 mpg in summer, 55 mpg at 50 mph. Love them both.
The FAA said it’s planning to cut 10% of flights at 40 airports because the lines are out of hand
That’s good for the environment, correct?

And just wait until the CRE blows up…Commercial Real Estate is in dire straits. Just think of all the fraudulent businesses no longer paying “rent”. All of the work-at-home positions, which have ballooned over the past 5-6 years, have all but put the nail in the coffin of the brick-and-mortar business model.
Now this prediction is likely true. Commercial space is massively overvalued and NOIs are way down across the board.
That said, multi-unit housing is absolutely killing it.
The whole thing doesn’t blow up. I generally live in this world and watch the private credit space interact with PE and there is some level of favored third party valuation work happening to boost values and increase loan amounts, but it isn’t across the board as this document suggests. In fact, the 6-7x leverage number he is using has pulled back massively to 4-5x. That represents a huge de-levering and makes life much harder on the pure LBO firms, as front end cash outlays increase tremendously.
No. It will not.
They will just print more money.
Some excellent videos out this morning of our warriors destroying Iranian “navel assets.” I use quotes because many of the vessels seen are no more the size of a 28 foot Boston Whaler.

And ( per never before done policy )

ill parents in a nursing home or hospital….
Another thing never done before is if a vaccine caused several deaths the vaccine was pulled off the market! Not during the plandemic they knew the vaccine was causing massive number of injuries including deaths and they did nothing!!! No warning , no pulling the vaccines off the market!!! But billions of dollars were made by Big Pharma a major donor to members of Congress!!!! JMO

Re: Repost from last week, USA election integrity:
update: The Senate may discuss this on Wed. March 25…
The House passed the SAVE act – to save the USA elections from the nefarious, coy, bad actors whom miss manipulate the USA elections.
The written words for SAVE are at the U.S Senate…ready to go.
And the President would sign the SAVE act.
We the people need the senate passage of the SAVE Act, and to finally end systems that allow ballots to move without accountability.
We have smartly, more wisely developed an election system that is:
simple to vote,
secure, and
constitutional
– and which was pre-tested in a prior USA election to work.
Paper ballots.
Hand counted.
Verified voters.
No hackable, black box machines with secret software
manipulating totals behind closed doors.
SAVE the USA !!!
The 435 U.S. House Representatives already completed their duty.
The 100 U.S. Senators can help to SAVE the USA.
It is an easy, common sense vote.
[ so that we the people can know that we have people in DC that truly represent the USA people ]

The communist demonrats BLOCKED a stand-alone bill for voter ID. Reinforces everything we need to know about the Bolshevik party. Needs to be dissolved.
https://x.com/SenMikeLee/status/2034787761962545455
what a joke stand alone voter id. Democrats have made it easy, actually given illegals, etc., voter id, driver id, etc. Without ‘all’ of the America Save Act, its a joke.
Per Senator Tom Tillis,
the c-dems can make excuses and talk and talk ad nauseum to avoid supporting the SAVE act
but
what they do not say
is
it’s about the c-dems getting easy campaign funding, money.
( not morals, not laws, money,
a selfish desire for money to maybe buy a spot in DC. …sick…)
( hint, c-dems voting for SAVE means the c-dem Senators do not qualify for c-dem party funding, or other untold funding, of the c-dem senator. )
Maybe ( very likely ) what is good about the SAVE act
is more important than one’s self interest in money?
Hmmm…
15 states in the USA do not have voter id etc law regarding election integrity.
( quietly ) The c-dems would like to increase the 15 to 16, to 17… to further erode the election system(s). Not good.
Maybe ( very likely )
we the people, the legal taxpayers citizens, would like a clear way, via true, honest, election integrity,
to have a verifiable way to elect our representatives in DC. An unselfish good thing, for all. : )
Support The SAVE act…
The House of Representatives already passed the SAVE act.
It is an easy, and good thing the U.S. Senate discuss, then pass the SAVE act – for the good of the whole USA…
Love thy neighbors…
At the same time,
the c-dems have shut down homeland security ( DHS ) for weeks,
which daily,
incrementally increases the risks of this country being less and less and less safe.
( and if / when something not good occurs…
they will avoid self accountability…
and instead seek blame others, repeatedly
… not good. )
People know…
‘Restore Britain’ Vows To Execute Pedophiles, Deport Millions Of Migrants, Outlaw “Incompatible Cultural And Religious Practices”

Democrats have been blocking the funding for the Department of Homeland Security, the DHS, for two months. They don’t like enforcement of immigration laws.
How about this: all the employees of the TSA get pink slips, and we let the airlines take care of their own security? That would represent the status quo ante, or the situation as it was before 9-ll. No more taking off your shoes; no more getting groped, before boarding a plane.
Taxpayers subsidize air travel, paying for the control towers and for the security and floating bonds to build the airports. If the Democrats don’t want to pay for DHS, then we can end the lines at the airports by just ending the TSA. Capeesh?
That makes too much sense. So shut up you capitalist.
It will take a change in law, which the Dems and certain rinos won’t do

FTA “It appears that Iran is quietly getting quite a bit of help from Russia and China. As you will see below, it is being alleged that China is mass producing drones for the Iranians, and one report is claiming that hundreds of Chinese military and technical personnel are “feared dead or slowly suffocating” because they were hiding in underground bunkers that have been destroyed by U.S. and Israeli airstrikes. Meanwhile, the Wall Street Journal is claiming that Russia has been sharing technology with the Iranians and has been providing targeting information for their drone and missile strikes. It seems that Russia and China are more involved in the war in Iran than most people realize, and that should deeply alarm all of us.
The Sun has published an article that discusses shocking new video footage that appears to show a Chinese factory mass producing Iranian suicide drones…”
