On one hand, we are winning the war with Iran. This week, bombings greatly accelerated and are not likely to end without real capitulation and surrender. On the other hand, the Vice President seems to be at odds with the administration, unhappy that we are in a (winning) war and casting blame for the failure of his peace effort, which is really only Iran’s fault.
On one hand, the President has declassified documents credibly showing foreign influence and interference with our elections. On the other hand, major news outlets seem determined to keep their viewers from knowing this. If viewers did know how insecure our elections are, they might support remediation measures -- like SAVE -- to the detriment of the media’s darlings, the Democrats, whose decades-long election cheating is manifest.
The president has made clear that he regards what are known as the groypers as stupid and not worth paying attention to:
Donald J. Trump • O
@realDonaldTrump I know why Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones have all been fighting me for years, especially by the fact that they think it is wonderful for Iran, the Number One State Sponsor of Terror, to have a Nuclear Weapon -- Because they have one thing in common, Low IQs. They're stupid people, they know it, their families know it, and everyone else knows it, too! Look at their past, look at their record. They don't have what it takes, and they never did!
Yet, this week Vice President Vance, who has yet to distance himself from Tucker Carlson, had a lengthy three-hour interview with Joe Rogan in which he blamed Israel for the war in Iran and, by inference, suggested the President is a tool of Israel.

That is the “problem” with the internet. It is also a “problem” with free speech. Even loons and people who are wrong get to be heard. The internet just made it a whole lot worse.
— We have killed their leader
— Achieved air supremacy
— Crushed their nuke program
Many here are ‘Low IQ’ and fail to understand/recognize that
President Trump does not want to create a humanitarian
crisis for the Persian people (who are not our enemy)…
we cannot destroy their infrastructure.
we cannot destroy their infrastructure.
Of course…
Not when it comes to Iran…
Low IQ
…..so let’s gift Iran to the Chicoms?
& let them help the IR build a nuke that
they would not hesitate to use?
That is a wonderful quote!
It would likely be several nukes.
Never heard of a stalking horse?
This is like the MOU — an instrument intended as a setup. Who turns on JDV? => they are not allies and must be purged.
At this point you'd have to ask, "What economy?" Even 100% of ZERO is still zero.
He gets too close to the truth, and that unnerves certain people. The kind of people who think this time regime change is gonna work...
Because you don't appreciate how attacks by an external force rally people to the flag. Bin Laden had Democrats and Republicans arm in arm singing America the Beautiful. Bibi and Trump have pushed the public toward their government by bombing school girls, etc.
Valid point.
The problem with “American” Thinker is the heavy emphasis on foreign countries.
Vance is the only one who hasn’t been compromised.
“The problem with American Thinker is that anyone can write an article and have it “published.””
Did anyone force you to read it?
Could it also be argued that the problem with Free Republic is that anyone, such as you, can write a post and have it “published”?
“The Iranians “win” by not losing.”
Historically, when a nation is getting there asses bombed into oblivion, without being able to stop the bombing, they are losing.
However, with all the new rules of warfare amongst the deep thinkers, all Iran has to do is to declare victory, and American forces have been defeated.
Could very well fall under, "Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely"
I watched the Joe Rogan interview with Vance. Some people were making noise about it, but I did not see anything wrong with what he said.
Without a full frontal assault on a group or a position, a surgical strike on the primary criminals is what I was talking about
“Really? Define “winning.”
I think ‘winning’ will be when the despots running Iran are gone and we have assurance that Iran won’t be getting nukes.
Not clear when that will happen. I personally think it will because the despots are making too many enemies.
