Strange Things Are Happening
American Thinker ^ | 19 Jul, 2026 | Clarice Feldman

Posted on 07/19/2026 4:49:48 AM PDT by MtnClimber

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.

“”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.””

***

I didn’t either (see anything wrong). Much ado about nada? Or.... certain factions trying to pre-empt, dampen or head off any success Vance might have in a 2028 presidential run. One wonders. If it’s what I suspect, they’re starting in early.... or earlier than usual. Which would mean they deem Vance as their biggest threat.

The civilian government is powerless. The only way to “win” is to convince the IRGC to quit. But they’ve killed so many Iranians if they lose power then they’ll be hunted down and killed.

BTTT

Yes! Nuke program is THE sine qua non of the IR.
It is their source of prestige within their fetid millenarian death cult…where the 12th mahdi pops his head out of the well and ushers on the end.
It’s complete destruction is non-negotiable.

I couldnt read this whole article but i have read others. VP Vance did not infer Trump was a tool, I watched the Joe Rogan podcast, and these people are wildly exaggerating. The VP is fine, good grief

If you research Vance’s background you will find he is an extreme left-wing liberal. Specifically, look at who was his advisor in law school and set up his entire Manchurian candidacy.

From the quoted piece:

“...(Vance) had a lengthy three-hour interview with Joe Rogan in which he blamed Israel for the war in Iran...”

WRONG.

Vance said that SOME in the Israeli government wanted ongoing conflict with Iran.

one shouldn’t apply DemocRAT characterization standards to a summary of what (supposedly) happened.

The Trump worshippers around here would rather shit on JD because Trump said he would blame Vance if it failed, then actually apply any logical thought to the situation.

As far as I am aware, there is no evidence that Vance proposed to Trump that he can get them to the peace table and get a deal made. What I have seen is Trump wants a deal and delegated it to Vance. that disaster of a MOU was Trump’s negotiators, which as usual seems one of them was that snake Kushner.( I very rarely call anyone a snake.) as far as I am aware, Vance was not involved in personnel selection or the framework of that MOU, he was a figurehead.

I believe Vance and Gabbard did not want in on another US military Sandbox adventure when it was proposed, but Vance is doing as instructed regardless of his beliefs.

“Sometimes things are not as they seem”

Yeh like Trump just letting Vance go out and fall on his face all over the place. 😉

The problem with American Thinker is that anyone can write an article and have it “published.”

You remind me that we have a similar problem right here on Free Republic.

Islam is the enemy. 1400 years of constant war and conquest will not be stopped. It is the Muslim commandment to destroy and conquer everything non Muslims. It can not be negotiated with. It must be destroyed and the rest of the world had better come to terms with it before they get nukes because they will use them offensively to bring about the little dirt boy hiding in the mud.

We’ve gone through about three layers of “despots.” How many more do we need to burn through.

Iraq fought these guys for eight years using our tools. They got about 20 miles into Iran.

They are a cancer that is not going to get cured any time soon.
