Citizen Writers Fighting Censorship by Helping Americans Understand Issues Affecting the Republic.
President Trump announced the USA will allow Saudi Arabia provided the Crown Prince signs the Abraham Accords and officially recognizes Israel’s right to exist. The Saudis already do. The two countries have made under-the-table deals in the past. Nothing personal, just business.
Retired U.S. Navy SEAL Mike Sarraille discusses the U.S. military’s withdrawal from Iraq, the regional security outlook and whether Israel will heed President Donald Trump’s reported call to reduce its military presence in Syria and Lebanon on ‘Varney & Co.’ #foxbusiness #varneyandco
About a year ago, my wife and I watched Netflix’s A House of Dynamite, and found it mildly entertaining. We watched it again last week and found it disturbingly chilling.
I have always favored the 85% solution over the perfect solution, as perfect is never achieved, but with an 85% solution one can look to improve it if the situation allows. The fourteen point Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the Trump administration and Iran is just that a memo. The objectives President Trump laid out has achieved 99% of what he set out to do – stop Iran from making a nuclear weapon and destroy their ability to do so.
Trump has successfully demonstrated the tactic of threatening dire consequences to bring latent matters to the forefront, to wit: Greenland – the intended consequence was not “taking” this island but forcing Denmark to send arms to protect against China/Russia closing the new sea-lanes. The intended consequences of saying he was going to withdraw from NATO suddenly inspired the members to start paying up; and pressuring Cuba to change regimes by controlling Venezuelan oil….
Rep. Carlos Gimenez, R-Fla., joins ‘Mornings with Maria’ to discuss Cuba’s reported drone capabilities, concerns about foreign adversaries operating on the island and his outlook on the future of the Cuban regime.
During WWII the upper echelon German leaders’ culture was fight to the death embracing even suicide…as Hitler did. The troops, however, were not fatalistic inasmuch as when faced with obvious over-powering odds they surrendered. The Japanese had a different culture: Military officers and their soldiers believed honorable death, including Hara‑kiri, was preferrable to capitulation. Their Emperor was slightly more realistic, calling it quits after experiencing the devastation of nuclear bombs.
If the Iranians are “misreading the room,” how dangerous would it be for a nuclear Iran to “misread the world”? Could such a misunderstanding eventually lead to a nuclear exchange?
As Operation Epic Fury continues, the nooks and crannies of 47 years of failed relations with the Islamic Republic of Iran are being explored by many observers. Much is focused on Iran’s progress toward obtaining a nuclear weapon. That ignores the forest for the trees, as the mere possession of nuclear weapons is not the concern. The real issue is what would the IRI do with any nuclear weapons it possessed.
Bobby Pulido, who is running for Texas’ 15th congressional district, calls himself a “winter Texan” because he lives in Mexico most of the year. Pulido’s wife lives in Mexico along with children from previous marriages. He owns a house in Mexico.
After 25 days of Operation Epic Fury, adversaries are making moves that show they want no part of an Iran that it is losing. Even Iran’s biggest supporter—Russia—is saying no mas. Now that Iran cannot provide Putin’s army with drones, he doesn’t need them.
President Trump called off launching a huge bombardment of Iran on Monday. He said he was talking to Iran’s leadership. Meanwhile, Iran’s leadership denies this. Both statements are true because no one is really sure who is in charge.
We are being seriously played by the Neocons, who pit left vs right as they make war and money.
While our NATO allies are flitting about trying to find a way to appease their Muslim invaders while not pissing Trump off, the Saudis are supporting us—albeit without acknowledging Israel.
While the pundits pontificate, the Donald acts – because he understands that survival is more important than approval ratings. While they debate about polling and its significance to the upcoming election, our President is on a different mission – fulfilling his oath.
America’s “days of infamy” include not just 1941 and 2001 but the 1983 … that was a brutal marker of Iran’s decades‑long theocratic terror campaign that makes a nuclear Iran intolerable and demands a president willing to end the mayhem.
It’s been a fast week with lots of moving parts. As usual, Don surber, with his rapier wit, puts it all in perspective
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.
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…)
