I am only 48 and I remember watching the news from Beirut and it totally hit me hard even at the age of 12.


Same. I remember the flag at half staff at my school after the Beirut bombing. My first recollection of such an event.

“Dont be naive.”

Chased the klaxon for 29 years, don’t believe I’m being naive. This is a different CINC. We’ll see.

Yep.

They are like children with a few worthless toys that they think are wroth something.

Like the mother of all tank battles.

Trump should go on TV and just utter a single word.
A word that EVERY millenial knows and understands.

“D R A C A R Y S”

Tucker defends and agrees with Trump 10 times more than he doesn’t. But he always opposes what he feels is a deep state desire for perpetual war.

I would not be surprised if ‘Stuxnet v55.1’ (or whatever) causes Darkhovin or Bushehr to ‘scram’ as well as Rudeshur and Kazerun and a few other plants to trip. All of a sudden, most of the light and power goes out during a cold winter night in Iran. Enough power to maintain life, but the inconvenience of recurring ‘brownouts’. No deaths from freezing, merely PLENTY of inconvenience. How popular would the mullahs be with a cold, damp and hungry populace, unable to provide much power for them to live, merely survive?

I had to turn Tucker off last night. Not even going to look tonight. If Rush could interview President Trump, Tucker could too and he could get the real scoop instead of going off all wild eyed.

Pelosi would not take Pence’s call tonight to brief her on the Iran attack. She is out at the opening of some new restaurant.
