Political analysts, think-tank sorts, some religious and/or theocratic scholars, and various other critics have been quick to argue that President Trump is “mismanaging the war” because he simply “does not understand radical Islam or the Iranian regime’s death-cult mindset.” Some on the right side of the aisle also claim that “Trump is losing the war.” Everybody is entitled to their own opinion. I believe our president has a much better understanding of the radical Islamic mindset than do some of his critics, I believe he has a much deeper understanding of the broader Middle East mindset than his critics claim he has, and I know that there is no easy way to fight ANY war, especially one with so many moving pieces as this one.

While President Trump’s primary stated purpose for this war is to prevent Iran from ever having a nuclear weapon, we all know that the only way to ensure that is to create regime change in Iran. Here’s the problem with the U.S. engineering regime change – we have a terrible success rate in doing that. Viet Nam, Korea, and several recent attempts in the Middle East…including in Iran in 1979 leap to mind. But that’s not the only issue we face. Go too fast and you create a vacuum of power. Been there, done that, got the T-shirt, don’t want to do that again.

Go too slow, you wind up as a tourist in Hanoi pretending it was an adventure on your bucket list for decades.

Socialism – The DNC’s Master Plan

Socialism. It doesn’t work. Anywhere. It never has and it never will, but today’s liberal knotheads in the U.S. claim that it just hasn’t been done the right way.

Here’s a hint…there is no “right way” to drop an anvil on your foot so that it doesn’t leave you wishing you hadn’t done it.

For those chirping about how different socialism is from communism and trying to claim that Republicans and Conservatives don’t know the difference between them, we do, and we also know that socialism, according to Marxist theory, is the transitional phase immediately following the overthrow of capitalism. During this stage, the “working class” controls the state and economy, eventually paving the way for a fully realized, stateless, and classless communist society.

I put quotation marks around “working class” for a reason and I’ll get back to that shortly.

The Caregiver’s Revenge

After 4 very long years of the Joe Biden occupancy of the Oval Office, after 4 very long years of nonsensical yarns blathered by the dazed and confused Joe Biden, after 4 very long years of watching Joe Biden stumbling, bumbling, falling on stairs, falling off his bike and wandering aimlessly about the White House lawn…what I’m about to get into should come as no great surprise.

After the whole world saw Biden shaking hands with invisible people…time and time again, after the whole world listened while Biden related a conversation he had had with an Amtrak Conductor years after that Conductor had died, a story Joe told time and time again, after the whole world watched creepy Joe sniffing girl’s hair…time and time again and listening while the old dolt related a yarn about his uncle being EATEN BY CANNIBALS…what I’m about to get into certainly isn’t breaking news.

In 2020, Joe Biden campaigned from his basement, and when he was allowed out of his habitat, crowds were, at best, sparse, comprised of 10’s of people, and Joe wasn’t allowed to talk to the press. But he supposedly got 81 million votes.

Uh-huh.

The Forensic Flogging of a Dead Horse

An autopsy is a surgical procedure that consists of a thorough examination of a corpse by dissection to determine the cause, mode, and manner of death; or the exam may be performed to evaluate any disease or injury that may be present for research or educational purposes.

Sometimes, an autopsy isn’t really necessary if one simply employs common sense.

Here’s an example…let’s say that someone in early 2022 goes skydiving, jumps out of a perfectly functional airplane at 12 thousand feet, and that person’s parachute fails to deploy. Now, common sense would lead one to believe that it wasn’t the fall, rather the sudden stop at the end of it which was the cause of death. However, liberals would have listed that skydiver’s cause of death, after an autopsy, as being directly related to COVID-19.

The recently released autopsy report regarding Kamala Harris and the sudden stop experienced at the end of her 2024 campaign, is no less insane.

Operation Let Them Talk

Every time a prominent liberal opens their pie-hole, what comes out is pure rubbish, propaganda or nonsense which prompts those on the right to label them as idiots. It’s a fair assessment. For the most part, it is accurate and an apt description of the mental acuity of said liberals.

Some on the right wish the prominent liberals, be they from the media, Hollywierd or the halls of congress would just sit down and shut the hell up, but I believe that would be a mistake.

Operation Let Them Talk, simply put, could well be the best thing for those on the right side of the political aisle who seek election. Day in, and day out, the liberals are creating political ads for 2026, and 2028…for Republican candidates.

Let me give you a few examples.

A Week of Astonishing Absurdity

Last week, in the wake of a Truth post from President Trump showing an obviously AI created rendering of Trump as a Jesuseque figure, liberals suddenly found religion and rushed to the nearest camera, microphone or social media platform to show their disgust over a man they hate connecting himself to a religion they find disgusting.

Remember Obama was in San Franfreakshow in April, 2008, talking about unemployment in Pennsylvania and the Midwest and said, “And it’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy toward people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.” That set the stage for the past two decades of liberal hatred of Christianity.

To be fair, liberals don’t really like the Jews any more then they like the Christians, but they really hate the Christians most likely because Jesus was Jewish.

Brute Force and Common Sense

So, the war against the terrorist regime of Iran has been ongoing now for nearly two months and despite the loss of their navy, their air force, most of their ability to target our bombers and the loss of better than 50 of their regime leaders, Iran continues to make one absurd claim after another, most of which revolve around how they haven’t been hurt, and are still a strong power in the region.

They’re not.

They know it.

We know it,

And they know that we know it.

For the past 47 years, the Iranian regime has been chanting “Death to America” and “Death to Israel,” and they have insisted that they are at war with both America and Israel. In act, those have been more than just words as the terrorist regime’s actions have killed thousands of both Americans and Israelis. Israel has, up until now, always responded to the constant attacks against the Jewish state and the Jewish people coming from Iran or their proxies in a bigger tit for a smaller tat sort of way, but October 7^th, 2023 changed that.

Liberal Loons and the Grumpy Gremlin

As the situation in Iran continues to unfold, everybody seems focused on the pounding the regime there has been taking for the past three weeks and rightly so. The constant bombardment by U.S. and Israeli forces makes lots of noise, and Iranian regime leaders are falling faster than Joe Biden on a set of stairs.

Sure, Iran still has some fight left in them, at least they say they do. Iran’s navy has been sunk. Their air force has been blown to bits. The regime’s command and control centers have been virtually wiped out. Iranian air defense is in a shambles.

The Iranian stockpiles of missiles are being blasted out of existence. Their missile launchers have been clobbered, and their fleets of drones are being picked off.

Iran’s military installations on Kharg Island are smoldering, and their ability to launch attacks against their neighboring nations has been cut by 80-90 percent. Even their military production factories have been bombed back to the stoneage.

Liberals are tripping all over themselves rushing to the nearest microphone or social media platform to rant, rave and froth at the mouth regarding the military action against Iran.

Liberals, be they elected, or members of the propaganda media or garden-variety liberals on social media are claiming that they have no idea what the “objective” of the action against Iran is, or that the Trump administration has offered conflicting justifications for it. These liberals are quite frankly…feigning ignorance. In the video below, Scott Jennings answers the CNN panel’s questions clearly, but notice the smugness and fake claims of not understanding why what’s happening is happening.

2028…America First or Dumb, Dumber and Dumbest

Right now, Kamala Harris is leading in some of the 2028 poles for the liberal party nomination. She’s leading Gavin Newsom in some poles. And Newsom is leading in others That either even registers a blip in the poles should serve as a glaring testament to the bone-crushing daftness of liberal voters.

Last week, Harris, the 2024 miserable failure after being a miserable failure for four years serving as VP to miserable failure Joe Biden, re-launched her HQ X account as “@headquarters_67″…but why? Well, nobody is really sure except that she’s trying to brand it as a hub for GenZ “content.”

What does that even mean?

Calling something a “hub” means that it is the central point of reference, the center of activity…the center of its own universe. Kamala Harris hasn’t been at the center of anything since she was at the center of Willie Brown’s office…wearing knee-pads so as to avoid rug burns.
