FTA “There Are No ‘Moderates’: Regime Change in Iran Must Again Be a Priority for the Trump Administration
What would be unpardonable is if US President Donald J. Trump simply replaced a brutal Islamic dictatorship with an equally brutal non-Islamic dictatorship — as seen in other adversaries of the West such as Russia, China, and North Korea. At the height of the violence in mid-January, Trump memorably told the Iranian protesters that “HELP IS ON ITS WAY”, while calling on the anti-regime activists to “seize control of your destiny.” Iran is still drawing out negotiations as it reconstructs its nuclear and missile sites.
The diplomatic standoff between the US and Iran should, at the very least, lead Trump to conclude that, so long as the IRGC and its hardline supporters have a say in the negotiations, the prospect of reaching an acceptable deal remains remote. If the American president is really serious about securing a deal, then he needs to deny the hardliners any say in Iran’s destiny and, as he originally promised, to help the Iranian people achieve a true regime change. It is the only way to achieve a peace that will last.”
How and pray President Trump can cut this Gordian Knot and free the people of Iran from the mullahs and the regime loyalists and members of the IRGC who still control everything!!
Trump never said regime change was his goal. He said the conditions on the ground after the attacks on Iran’s government and military would be an opportunity for the opposition people in Iran to take their own country back.
I also suspect, however, that there is more going on behind the scenes to assist the people…..but it is up to Iranians to change their own government. Trump has been clear about that.
Standing applause, Alabama…keep on keeping on 👍🏻
They’re running with it.

Reminder: Hantavirus does not spread human to human unless Ralph Baric has had a go at gain of functioning it.
If there is human to human spread on this ship, then there has been a second biological warfare attack on humanity, and every single biolab in the whole world is suspect, and all such operations need to be shut down ASAP, and the WHO and UN headquarters raided to determine whodunit.
Carried by rats.
Anyone inspect the ship before she sailed?
The storage areas in the hull of these cruise ships are full of rats, birds and bats. The easiest place to catch hantavirus, is camping shelters in the desert SW
I’m sure.
I know many people enjoy cruising. There is not enough money in the world to get me on one of those floating petri dishes.
Not even the rats can survive on a Carnival Cruise.
Ick. I’m with you on that. I have relatives that make an annual weeklong trek aboard one of those.
Oof just no. 🤢
They’re incubators for sick people.
This is what killed Gene Hackman’s wife. And Hackman, suffering from dementia, later died in the house with her.
As stated by others, it’s more common in the southwest US.
From a few days ago, the Jones Act explained…waiving a waiver to move stuff like oil and fertilizer? US built owned crewed and US flagged…relates to foreign ships etc…good explanations for its necessity for Americans….etc…you decide…
The judge in that attempted assassination case in DC APOLOGIZED to the defendant for the jail conditions! Nobody cared about the treatment of the J6ers in DC jails….
I sure hope this is fake news and if it’s true, then all texans need to wake up and start protesting muslims. For starters, boycott all muslim owned businesses and all stores selling muslim meat.
