For 30 years, Democrats and some Republicans lied about stopping Iran. Trump did it..
“Iran’s appetite for acquiring and developing nuclear weapons and the missiles to deliver them has only grown larger,” Bill Clinton claimed in 1995. “We have tried to stop its quest to acquire weapons of mass destruction, which would make it a threat not only to its neighbors but to the entire region and the world.”
“For the sake of peace, the world must not allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon,” George W. Bush declared.
“America is determined to prevent Iran from getting a nuclear weapon, and I will take no options off the table to achieve that goal,” Barack Obama promised.
“Here is my message to Iran’s leaders, the United States will never allow you to acquire a nuclear weapon. As president, I will take whatever action is necessary to protect the United States and our allies,” Hillary Clinton assured.
“We will not let Iran acquire a nuclear weapon. Period. Period. End of discussion. It will not happen on our watch,” Joe Biden assured.
“Let me be clear, we will not allow Iran to obtain a nuclear weapon. Period,” Kamala Harris said.
The real ‘period’ was placed by President Trump who cut through 30 years of empty talk and ended the discussion. After decades of worthless promises by presidents, vice presidents, and presidential candidates, he took decisive action to actually prevent Iran from acquiring nukes.
Operation Midnight Hammer did the opposite of what presidents had been doing since the 90s. President after president had promised to stop Iran from deploying a nuclear bomb only to do nothing. Trump said he was negotiating with Iran even while planning to take out its nukes.
Democrats, including Sen. Chuck Schumer, who had been taunting Trump only days ago as chickening out on Iran, are furious because Trump actually kept all the promises they broke.
“We must do everything we can … to avoid a nuclear Iran. And we will be leading the charge to make sure that the Iranians know that they will not go nuclear or face the most severe of consequences,” Sen. Schumer had promised Now he bemoans Trump for actually doing it.
“We will do whatever it takes to make sure Iran does not get a nuclear weapon,” Rep. Jerry Nadler had boasted. “No matter what, even if it takes military action, Iran must be prevented from getting a nuclear weapon.”
After President Trump actually took out Iran’s nukes through military action, Rep. Nadler furiously urged that the strikes “must be condemned in the strongest possible terms.”
“All Members of Congress, regardless of party, agree: a nuclear Iran is simply unacceptable. It is a threat to the region, to the United States, and to our allies across the globe,” Rep. Nancy Pelosi had once asserted. “We must all use all the tools at our disposal to stop Iran’s march toward nuclear capability.”
Now, Pelosi assailed President Trump’s accomplishment of just that by contending that it “risks further escalation and dangerous destabilization of the region”
For 30 years, Democrats and some Republicans lied about stopping Iran. Trump did it.
That’s why they hate him. President Trump once again kept a promise he had made while Democrats, their media, the woke left and the woke right condemned him for doing it. The strikes taking out Iran’s nuclear program didn’t just smash the radioactive infrastructure of death, it also once again demonstrated the hypocrisy and double dealing so common in D.C.
The politicians who promised to secure the border, turn around the economy, unleash the private sector, cut government agencies, move the embassy to Jerusalem, and a thousand other promises never meant any of them. But President Trump, in the teeth of nearly universal opposition from the media and always online tweeting class of influencers, kept his promise.
Again.
The real question isn’t the one being posed by these politicians complaining why President Trump didn’t go to them to authorize a war with an Islamic terrorist state that had been attacking us since the Carter administration, it’s why they lied all these years to the American people.
If they had been opposed to taking out Iran’s nukes, why did they keep telling us otherwise?
In keeping 30 years of broken promises, President Trump showed how untrustworthy the same politicians condemning him are. Operation Midnight Hammer wasn’t just a strike on Iran, but on D.C. whose version of enriched uranium stockpiles are piles of broken promises and lies.
And if they couldn’t be trusted on the border or on a terror state with nuclear weapons, what can they be trusted on when it comes to our national security or any of the promises they make?
The Iran strikes have sent a message to the American people and to China and our enemies abroad that the era of hollow threats and empty assurances are over. Operation Midnight Hammer gave us real deterrence again, not just when confronting terrorists, but China.
A week ago, the People’s Republic of China was contemplating the odds of taking Taiwan and betting that America would do nothing. After a few extremely unpredictable weeks, Xi is much less likely to gamble that a nation that sent B2s from Missouri to take out nuclear plants without any further warnings, leaks or notice is a paper tiger that will do nothing if he attacks.
We are no longer a feckless nation governed by liars and hypocrites whose word is worthless.
For 46 years, Iran had two slogans, “Death to America” and “America can’t do a damn thing against us.” The two slogans went hand in hand. As long as Iran could kidnap, torture and kill Americans, it could safely chant “Death to America” because it believed America was helpless.
Trump buried “America can’t do a damn thing against us” as deep as its reactors of death.
That’s a message not only to Iran, but to China and our enemies at home and abroad. The politicians who broke thirty years of promises to stop Iran couldn’t stand up for our country or keep us safe. President Trump could and did. He stopped Iran and only he can stop China.
It reminds me of what George Wallace said:
"there is not a dime's worth of difference" between the Republican and Democratic parties."
Yup, Wallace was right. I stand with Trump. The truth will make you free. Trump didn’t start a war, or join a war, he stopped a war. For such a time as this, Donald J Trump, guided by God.
Morning Joe, his sycophants and liberal guests looked like their mother's all died....
Oh yes there is. Democrats are soulless self-serving corrupt marxists. RINOs are soulless, self-serving, and corrupt
Time to abolish 22nd Amendment

Another kept promise by Trump was to put the american embassy in Jerusalem. A few presidents before him promised that, but never delivered. It was Trump who finally did it.
And now I heard this morning that our feckless, Quisling-filled CONGRESS is introducing legislation to limit President Trump’s ‘war powers.’ You know, just in case he wants to clean up any MORE of their messes! *Rolleyes*
It really IS Trump and Us against THEM! *SPIT*
It is.
The good news: The quislings in congress trying this are mostly libs who never complained about their heroes who did far worse. A few Mass-holes and RINO quislings on board, but it's never going to happen.
Time to abolish 22nd Amendment

Suggest something like that to Dems, and you’ll start a hot Civil War, no doubt about it.

what human life is like in the future.
There’s no doubt Iran would have used nuclear tipped missiles against Israel, Arab states, and the west, including the U.S. once they achieved ICBM capabilities. Lil Kim would have seen to that.
It was the other way around.
agree with you.
evil never stops, just takes a break or slides in to march forward from another angle.
Evil will only stop after Jesus returns, and that’s quite a ways off from the looks of things. Plenty keep saying it’s soon, but the world is not in as bad a shape as some previous times in history.
