On March 6, 2026, Mark Levin described what may be an unprecedented moment in American history: a major political party actively undermining the military and the commander-in-chief during the onset of a military operation. With Operation Epic Fury targeting Iran’s nuclear facilities, ballistic missile programs, and the entire Islamist regime, Levin and guest Lee Smith laid out a damning case — with quotes, polling data, and roughly 50 years of Iranians killing Americans — that the Democrats’ war is focused on political power, not American interests.
Unprecedented Political Sabotage?

The Democrat Party’s immediate response to Operation Epic Fury is unique: its senior leaders — Schumer, Jeffries, Murphy, Warner, and Kaine — instantly attacked the mission and predicted its failure while American forces were engaged in combat against Iran’s nuclear and military infrastructure. And Democrats introduced War Powers resolutions to constrain the commander-in-chief in real time — which no political party has ever done during the first phase of a new and successful military campaign.
Lee Smith: The Case for Epic Fury

Mark Levin interviewed author Lee Smith, who made the legal — not to mention moral — case that Operation Epic Fury is not a war of choice or a proxy war for Israel, but a necessity almost half a century in the making — from the 1979 American hostage crisis through the Beirut Marine barracks bombing, Khobar Towers, hundreds of U.S. troops killed by Iranian proxies in Iraq and Afghanistan, to Iran’s current sprint toward nuclear breakout with 60%-enriched uranium and active ICBM development.
Smith called out the kooks on both the left and right by name, noting that Trump is the first president since the hostage crisis willing to actually confront the Islamist terror regime. He also pointed to the operation’s rapid early success — Iranian naval forces destroyed, missile capabilities degraded by roughly 90%, and multiple nuclear sites struck — as proof that decisive U.S. action, not appeasement or delay, is the path to lasting peace.
Levin and Smith raise a critical question question for America: when U.S. service members are in harm’s way executing a mission with overwhelming public support, what is the purpose of introducing War Powers resolutions, predicting failure on camera, and opposing the mission in real time?
My answer is disturbing but realistic.

A political party that opens the borders to tens of millions of unknowns, defunds the police and DHS, frees violent criminals en masse, and secretly funds Iran’s nuclear and terror ambitions — well, that isn’t a real American party at all. It’s something else.
Vote accordingly in November.

Enemies foreign and Enemies (D)omestic.
Yep.
We live in de fatcto two countries. One should join Canada.
The democrats doesn’t want to world to know how many plane loads of US taxpayer cash they sent to Iran
How do we avoid civil war in this country? There is no common ground between conservative capitalists and socialist democrats. I am really tired of living in interesting times.
Its useful to remember that globalists (including all Democrats and RINO Republicans, as well as the “leadership” of Europe) tacitly have great respect and even envy of Islam and Communist China. Under both of these, total control is by cabals of elites who are determined solely by political means and who subjugate their populations, allowing them only the life the elites choose. The elites, meanwhile, enjoy lavish lifestyles unencumbered by the restrictions applied to the masses.
Opposition politics.
The Democrats do it all the time, see Iraq as another example.
However, the Republicans (few) are willing to do the same when a Democrat president causes a war in Ukraine, bombs Libya and backs warlords on the ground, Bombs and invades Syria and backs warlords there...
It’s commendable to support our troops and not play games with issue one truly sees as national security matters. But this IMHO causes the Republicans to lose opportunities where political capital can be gained.
Obama in his first term rode into office in part because of his willingness to exploit Iraq to his favor.
Enemies foreign and Enemies (D)omestic. [election year too]
Chuck Schumer:
Insufficient briefings... bumbling into war.
Regarding Chuck Schumer on insufficient briefings, Trump undoubtedly does not trust anti-Trump Democrats and RINOs to respect secrecy concerning sensitive war information.
They showed they don’t care about national security, even before Iran.
“How do we avoid civil war in this country?”
An amiable separation. You take one half and we’ll take the other. Allow 10 years for each American to move to their preferred country.
Also IMHO,
The US has engaged in so many expeditionary, offensive, and non-national security wars post 91, ALWAYS using the madman, human rights, terrorist, WMD, angle that it has lost its effect with the public EVEN when true.
The boy that called wolf.
“...They showed they don’t care about national security, even before Iran....”
Exactly. They want power to only enrich themselves at the expense of draconian enslavement of the great “unwashed masses” (that’d be us).
Just look at AOC, that nasty Samoli puta and the vile demonic Botoxian as classic examples.
AOC and the puta were dirt poor going in...now? Millionaires several times over.
The vile demonic botoxian enriched itself with outright congressional insider trading over and over. Their hatched tax schemes are just outright “legalized theft” from the working class.
They could care less about America, Her People, National Security, etc....
IF America is to survive as we know it, it needs to purge itself of this kind of trash....big time.
My general rule of thumb is that it would always be in the best interests of this country to strongly oppose anything that is the subject of excited media fawning between two jabbering retards like Lindsey Graham and Sean Hannity.
The DemonRats are terrorist enemies of the United States.
They hate God. They love demons.
The media is essentially an extension of special interests, corporate and government.
They are advertising 24/7 and even what we call the “news” is essentially selling: Covid, Ukraine, every election cycle, did you know a new iPhone is out, the green agenda, did you know this is the worst flu season ever and a vaccine is ready, are just some more recent examples...
True objective reporting that that is more fact based and leaves out the feelings and emotions, shows all sides of the story and is balanced, does not exist anymore.
Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries, Chris Murphy, Mark Warner, and Tim Kaine would all be right at home here on FR. I wonder what their screen-names are.
How blind do you have to be to not notice that the DNC has been against American and human interests for decades?
No, no, not just opposing conservatism. Actively against America.
