If you went to bed early Tuesday, you were surprised to wake up Wednesday and learn that World War III has been delayed. No doubt you were also shocked that Iran blinked, oil prices were tumbling and the stock market was soaring.
Once again, the Chicken Little chorus got everything all wrong. The sky isn’t falling and Donald Trump pulled off a huge victory. Oh, and he’s still president.
Iran’s decision to pretend it was retaliating for the death of Qassem Soleimani by lobbing ineffective missiles is terrific news for America and freedom-loving people everywhere. So was Trump’s Wednesday offer of negotiations, which he wrapped in even tougher economic sanctions and warnings against any new attacks on Americans.
Over the last week, the president has put on a clinic in seeking peace while projecting strength. Just don’t expect to find the outcome described that way in the New York Times or on CNN.
Comically, the Times tried to turn America’s victory into defeat, with its top headline declaring that “Trump Backs Away From Further Military Conflict With Iran.” Imagine the headline if he had chosen the military option.

BEST PRESIDENT EVER!
Seriously, the story of the year 2019-2020 is the corrupt media. They should have been TIME person(s) of the year for excelling in FAKE and totally deceitful hate news.
The bed wetters might as well get used to sucking their thumbs. It aint getting any better for them.
And the Democrats still look like a bunch of morons.
“No doubt you were also shocked that Iran blinked”
That’s a ludicrous assertion.
Is Goodwin one of the fools that believes Iran missed on purpose? Willful ignorance abounds...
They shot 16 SRBMs at US forces with 2,000lb warheads. Twelve of them hit the targeted compounds. And they ABSOLUTELY do not have the ability to miss on purpose.
And today they are promising more to come.
Watching Trump is like watching Batman. Every week they put him in a new trap, and he always escapes. LOL
The Deep State and Intel community and general thought they finally had Trump cornered into a general war with Iran. He handled it beautifully. Killing a man that even the mullahs barely had under control, and avoiding the Deep State trap. It’s a pleasure just watching Trump work
OK Donald, the day is nearly done and you havent done one thing today to piss em all off.
Your slipping Mr President...LOL.
Mission accomplished.
The dems have tried a lot of things to dump Trump. Bed wetting whore-gate. Trump collusion with Russia-gate. Trash Kavanaugh. Muller-gate. Muller-testimony-gate. Impeachment. Soleiman-gate. All failed!
They will not give up. There will be more false claims. They won’t fool me.
Fall 2020 is going to be the worst ever! They will try everything! They are praying for hurricanes in Puerto Rico.
And it all will fail.
Stocks? They are up but they are definitely not “soaring”. Headlines need a new name. Maybe “baitline”?
Unbelievable he was right i am getting tired of winning
I share your concern. The Libertarians and globalists have taken over Free Republic. It's disgusting. Not responding to a 12 missile salvo the USA is making a big mistake.
Let’s face it, the left would love to see thousands of Americans killed in a war with Iran because they know that would hurt Trump’s chances of reelection. Their hatred of Trump is only matched by their hatred of America itself, and their own lust for power.
General War? That’s laughable Reagan would have destroyed the Iranian AF and Navy by now.
Its not libertarians.
I come from the libertarian wing of the GOP.
It’s wishful and fantastical thinking on the part of those who cannot accept the reality of no response.
The entire idea of Iran missing on purpose is ludicrous on its face.
Yeah I think those making a bet on oil are making a mistake. This is all going to smooth over.
I have no way to verify this but my guess the reason why President Trump looked so stressed and tired at the presser could be he was NOT following his gut instincts and ramming it to the Iranians. He has been cowed, at least in this case. I hope this is not a trend.
