[Note: The following piece is from contributor Gregg Updike. I hope you enjoy his thoughts on the situation with Iran – I know I did.]
While it is great that President Trump has recently taken out a couple of head honchos in the Middle East, can anyone doubt that their #2s (in every sense of the word) won’t just take over and continue their fight? Had Hitler been successfully assassinated in July 1944, Goering would have taken over, then Himmler…
Point being, just because America took out these leaders, it does not mean Iran and ISIS will stack their bats and quit the field. This means we need to be even more vigilant against reprisals. I am in no way saying that Trump is wrong in what he is doing, I’m just saying these “foreign entanglements”, and their consequences, are far from over. I only hope and pray for our president’s safety, and that he soon removes all our assets (targets) including our embassies from that entire region; let the various factions pound each other into the sand.
Now that we are oil independent, turn the keys over to Israel and let them have at it; let them either win outright with our tacit support, or continue with the tit-for-tat fighting that has been going on there forever. I don’t care which route Israel takes, and neither should most Americans. It would be nice, however, if a greater number of Americans of Jewish descent would actually support Trump and his efforts to defeat Israel’s ancient enemies abroad and renounce and work to defeat Anti-Semitic Democratic Politicians here rather than voting lockstep Democrat for whatever reason.
Once we are out of the region, our doctrine should be: we will flatten any country that causes us harm – period, end of story, with no “nation building/rebuilding”. Let Europe, without the US propping up NATO, fend for itself against the threats from the Middle East, Russia, and China. And finally, we must get out of the UN and get the UN out of America.
Apart from the transformation of the courts, and the draining of the swamp via Barr and Durham, Trump’s greatest contribution to America will be the total exposure of the media and the Democratic Party as a cabal of anti-American seditionists. Sooner or later there will be a Bastille Day of sorts, and the domestic enemies of America as founded will be dealt with. They will be easy to find as they are doing a wonderful job of exposing themselves for all to see.
They are effectively targeting themselves for destruction by openly rooting for our enemies and against America/Trump. Yet these “journalists” and other “experts” are supposed to be among the best and brightest from American institutions of higher learning; how myopic they all are. In the interim, Trump is driving them insane with their TDS and making them more and more irrelevant.
The MSM is, and has been, working hand in hand with America’s domestic enemies to diminish and destroy our constitution, amendment by amendment for decades. What makes them think the 1st Amendment will survive to protect them if the “Fundamental Change” that the Obama types want to bring to America ever comes to fruition?
On the foreign side, the NY Times had a reporter named Walter Duranty espousing Stalin’s communist propaganda from Moscow pre WWII, CNN had an embed in Middle East during Gulf War 1 who refused to be debriefed by the Pentagon upon his return after the first war. And before and during the second Iraq War, CNN had “exclusive” coverage from their Baghdad “correspondent” who was reporting to the world only exactly what Saddam Hussein and Baghdad Bob allowed him to say.
I also remember how many, if not most MSM TV anchors refused to wear US Flag lapel pins stating they didn’t want to be seen rooting for one side or the other – just the facts, uh, sure, right. Presidents Wilson (D), and FDR (D) most certainly censored the press during their terms, so there is precedent on the regulation of “Free” (Political) Speech.
History, has shown when there is a “Fundamental Change” i.e. revolution, or invasion of a country, or other takeover, the first people purged are the “intelligentsia” including professors of higher learning and the press…
I’m a capable and productive person who is very adaptable and has worked many blue collar jobs and I can survive in almost any political environment by what I bring to the table. I don’t believe any of these singularly specialized propagandists, masquerading as “experts” or “journalists” are capable of doing anything but being keyboard warriors, and ignorant social justice and environmental agitators.
They will be the first ones eliminated if and when true socialism/fascism/communism comes to America. The constitution as we know it will be gone, and the country will be ruled by a dictator. No dictator would ever tolerate any such fifth column activity; it will be brutally put down just as sure as the sun comes up every day.
I only hope the “useful idiots” that the left has used for their evil anti-American purpose will someday soon wise up and abandon their (ultimately petty) crusades for their own sake. Of the 328 or so million people in the US, only about 8-10% are the agitators, the loudmouths, the troublemakers to varying degrees; still that can be as many as ten million people young or old enough to actually be active in all the protests/riots that are sure to come this November when Trump wins a second term in a landslide, and the House flips to the GOP.
I truly believe that the other 90+ percent of the country – if not the world – are fundamentally good people who would just love to be able to live their lives in peaceful coexistence without all this conflict and drama. It’s the 10 percenters that must be defeated and ultimately eliminated for peace to prevail.
The president has shown great acumen in his ability to be ahead of the curve and has been very successful in blunting and exposing the left’s agenda(s). His second term, starting with the first sign of violence after the election, must be the direct, forceful and complete stopping of all the paid professional protesters/rioters. Then he must go after all the domestic and foreign money people funding this Anti-American revolution/coup.
The presidential oath states the president’s first obligation is to protect and defend America and its’ Constitution from all foreign and domestic enemies. All of the people and entities (including and especially the MSM/SM) who have been engaged in this three plus year coup, Logan Act Violations, aiding and abetting election interference (that was actually done by the Democrats), illegally spying on any American, or allowing/authorizing the same, and who promote the subsequent violence should be charged under the RICO Act.

That is all.
Once again exposing the terrorists for the cowardly, girly-men they are.
Terrorists? And the Democrats?
I got an image of Hillary after reading that headline. I need to lie down.
Synonyms - terrorists and democrats
Look for ihlan Omar the brotherf@r and that frogbitch tlaib to sell out the location of the President to our enemies at every given chance.
All our actions hhttps://history.house.gov/Institution/Origins-Development/War-Powers/ave been defensive.
Why is that?
I know a number of Iranians that came to the US. They loved Iran when they had freedoms. The leaders today. are worried that any attack by the US would show their weaknesses and lead to their removal. They are not going to risk it.
Because they are the idealists, and usually the ones who wanted revolution.
When they find out the realities of what the revolution has brought them, they are the first to protest, saying things like "the revolution has been co-opted by extremists" and "this is not the revolution we wanted."
Rather than deal with all that static, the Big Boss (there's always one after a revolution) usually says "stand them up against the wall."
They are not going to risk it.
*****************
Agree with your assessment. They will launch small scale stuff but nothing of any major consequence. To do so would risk a devastating and humiliating response by the U.S.
They know full well that Trump ain’t f’ing around. He means business. They detest him, but make no mistake about it, they respect him.
Power and the willingness to use it earns respect and deference in this world.
Big Bosses don’t really care about the Revolution. They care about the Big Boss.
Anyone still voting Democrat is contemptable.
Yes, of course.
The problem is there are too many liberals who have tunnel vision. They only read liberal sites, and nothing else. My brother was shocked and disbelieving when I mentioned several news items to him. They want to believe the liberal lies.
After checking the news for the last couple days, everybody should clearly understand that The Democrats, Left, Media, and Entertainment Industry all Hate America with a passion and want nothing more than to see the complete destruction of the United States.
Yep.... please forward to the editors at Christianity Today.
I’ll sitll say they’re misguided. Still most are beyond hope.
