Dusting Off Some Seminal History: Remember When The Iranians Admitted They Lied And Misled The 5+1 And The Group Of Foreign Ministers Part 2
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…
Juvenile Impatience – Are We There Yet?
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.
Dusting Off Some Seminal History: Remember When The Iranians Admitted They Lied And Misled The 5+1 And The Group Of Foreign Ministers To Get All That Terrorist Funding Money Released By President Obama?
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…)
Our Iran Folly Only Accelerates Our Economic Implosion
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.
We didn’t start the fire. But the Donald Trump is putting the fire out in Iran.
Iran has killed 875 Anerican soldiers, Marines, airmen and sailors since the ayatollahs seized the government 47 years ago.
Democrats Support Iran’s Tyrants
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.
The War Powers Resolution of 1973 and Iran
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 …
Red China is the big loser in Iran; Red China’s military equipment is as reliable as Acme’s. Meep-meep
A side benefit of the Operation Epic Fury is testing the war materiel of the Russian and Red Chinese military. With little exception, they are failing again as they did in the extraction of Maduro from Venezuela
How Can the Left Really Be This Dumb?
As I have previously noted, I was not in favor of the United States launching the attack on Iran; I most certainly wanted the clerical government to fall, and freedom to come to that country, but I wanted the people of Iran to do the job, not have is do so. That said, it is …
Who really shut down the Strait of Hormuz; And 8 other items on Iran including the election of the Nepatollah Khamenei.
Monday morning greeted me with a 34 cents-a-gallon increase in gasoline prices. All gave some. Most gave a few pennies a gallon. Some gave all.
The Gingerbread President; Moving as fast as he can to return America to its original factory settings
Remember the old election question of who will take the call at 3 AM? But our beloved President trump doesn’t wait to take calls. On Saturday, Trump made the call at 3 AM. A joint attack by Israel and the USA wiped out 8 leaders in the Islamic regime in Iran
February 28th 2026: Red Letter Day for Iran and the World
February 28, 2026 is another Red Letter Day in history. It’s so amazing to be alive and witness it like a spectator sport from the safety of America. The U.S. and Israeli attack on Iran is an international reset.
9/11 Permanent Emergency: The Long Game That’s Dismantling America – Part III
The most dangerous futures rarely arrive with explosions. They arrive with paperwork, emergency meetings, and soothing language about “stability.” The worst-case scenario facing the United States is not sudden collapse or foreign invasion. It is something far more corrosive: a loss of sovereignty by process, at the exact moment the world becomes less forgiving, more competitive, and openly hostile to American advantage.
Jimmy, Barry & Joe Love Iran
Jimmy “created” the Islamic Terrorist Nation of Iran. Barry secretly flew to Iran $1,7 Billion in cash of Americans’ money. Joe gave Islamist terrorists $81 Billion in military equipment on August 31. 2021 and later gave them $6 Billion in previously restricted funds.
Cleaning up and Securing the Western Hemisphere
Asked who will lead Venezuela, Trump told Fox News, “Well, we’re going to have to look at it right now.” Trump also said that he expects the U.S. to get “very strongly involved” in the future of Venezuela’s oil industry.
Elon Musk helps get information out of Iran and to the rest of the world
As we have previously noted, the credentialed media have been publishing rather little on the popular uprisings in Iran. Slightly more has been coming out, but information has still been sparse. More information has been coming out over social media, though, interestingly enough, far less on Bluesky than on Twitter, at least as far as …
The Iranian–American Parallel: A Call for Constitutional Renewal
In the 1960s and 1970s, every major city in Iran had an Iran-America Society — a place where American military personnel taught English during the day, and in the evenings the halls came alive with music, parties, bingos, and sports.
Iran: China Bet on the Wrong Horse; Communist Chinese investments in Iran are at risk
