Citizen Writers Fighting Censorship by Helping Americans Understand Issues Affecting the Republic.
An outsider would expect the mullahs to face the reality that they are soon to be deposed, but instead, they defiantly keep on appointing new placeholders to fill the roles that the coalition has made vacant.
Recently, I heard the news that Iran may try to destroy California with its Shahed drones. I had to laugh at that. Aren’t the Iranians aware that Supreme Leader Gavin Newsom and his gang of socialist Democrats have already done that?
It’s been a fast week with lots of moving parts. As usual, Don surber, with his rapier wit, puts it all in perspective
Commander-in-Chief Donald Trump updated America on Operation Epic Fury in Iran. No. 47 said, “Their army is gone. Their navy is gone. Their communications are gone. Their leaders are gone. Two sets of their leaders are gone—they’re down to their third set. Their Air Force is wiped out entirely.” Well, trust but verify, so I …
The modern world likes to believe it has outgrown geography. Satellites circle the planet, data moves at the speed of light, and weapons can strike targets from continents away. Military theorists speak confidently about cyber war, artificial intelligence, and fifth-generation conflict conducted across digital networks and orbital platforms. Yet despite all this technological sophistication, the global economy still depends on an astonishingly simple fact of physical geography: about twenty-one miles of ocean between Iran and Oman control roughly a quarter of the world’s oil and enormous quantities of energy-related commodities such as petrochemical feedstocks and fertilizer inputs.
Author’s Note: (In June 2020, I posted the following column about Hong Kong. The reason for the post was that on May 22 of that year, China’s government in Beijing announced that it would allow mainland state security agencies to operate officially in Hong Kong, effectively allowing Beijing to impose national security laws on Hong …
I worked in newspapers as a civilian for 33 years. I do not recall any other veteran in the newsroom over that time. Journalism schools should require two years in the military—or at least boot camp.
If only the Iranian people or the poor Palestinians could have benefitted from the tens and hundreds of billions of dollars the United States, UN and the world gave them over the years to improve their quality of life rather than funding efforts to build weaponry, rockets, missiles, tunnels, terrorism, mayhem and anarchy…
We are just over a week into the Iran operation, and the media, political analysts, social media pundits, and Democrats are all desperate to amass an audience by selling national tragedy. In the meantime, the world is celebrating the end of a cruel regime and praying for better days.
The time has come to drop the façade. There is no such thing as TDS. Hating Trump doesn’t drive this. Hating America does. As a very sane genius once said, the American press is the enemy of the people.
A conspiracy theory of the crazy kind that required “racist” thinking that believed the absolute worst of the scandal free Obama Administration (he breathlessly declared: author’s note-there are 784 entries in this list and it has not been updated. And-OBTW-there is a companion to this list containing LSMBTGA promoted Trump hoaxes-this is truly a partial list. Here is a bigger list. Here is a list from the second term first 100 days: it never stops…)
Apparently disregarding 47 years of murder carried out by the Iranian regime and its proxies around the world, top Democrats were quick to condemn the lightning strike that essentially decapitated the regime
In October of 1961 the Cold War was already a tense, paranoid chess match played with nuclear weapons instead of pawns. The United States and the Soviet Union were staring each other down across oceans, missile silos, and enough megatonnage to turn the planet into a glowing charcoal briquette. But Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev decided the world needed a reminder of just how big the Soviet hammer could be. So the Kremlin did what any superpower with a bruised ego might do. They built the largest nuclear bomb in human history and lit it off over the Arctic.
Cheap, abundant oil lubricates the economy. Gasoline and diesel is cheaper. Which means everything delivered in vehicles running on gasoline and diesel is cheaper. Which is pretty much everything.
Iran has killed 875 Anerican soldiers, Marines, airmen and sailors since the ayatollahs seized the government 47 years ago.
Start with Clausewitz. His most famous line remains the most brutally accurate description of war ever written: war is the continuation of politics by other means. In other words, wars are not random explosions of violence. Nations fight because they want political outcomes—territory, influence, regime survival, deterrence, or control of strategic regions.
Diane recites the war the Mullahs have been waging on America from the time they took over Iran. She also discusses how Democrats are gaslighting, lying and scamming the American people with their cow manure that America’s attack on Iran is unconstitutional and violates the War Powers Resolution of 1973.
Representative Thomas Massie (R-KY 4th District) and Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) are Republicans, but they are also two of the very few libertarians (not Libertarians) elected to Congress. Both have long opposed wars, and are definitely not neocons, and both sponsored concurrent resolutions to force President Trump to pull back military forces from any conflict …
The Democrats’ knee-jerk reaction to Operation Epic Fury is another step toward irrelevancy by the Party Of Obama. The party ran out of good ideas when Clinton left office.
Now let’s be clear about something. Veterans arguing about foreign policy is not the problem. In fact, it’s healthy. People who have worn the uniform should absolutely debate how American power is used. The military has always produced strong opinions—usually accompanied by horrible coffee and worse briefing slides. But what used to separate professional disagreement from internet drama was something the officer corps once valued deeply: discipline.
