Here was my response: I’m sorry, but I feel very differently about the Iran war. Iran has been at war with America since it took the hostages from the … Read more
People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (MEK) is a parasitic anomaly. To call them Iranian is a tactical error and a historical lie. They are a cult of ideological mercenaries who severed their veins from the Iranian motherboard decades ago. They do not represent a political movement; they represent a decommissioned weapon system, repurposed by foreign … Read more
The resignation of Joseph Kent is not a “protest” – it is a confession of moral and strategic bankruptcy.

The “Deep State” is not just corrupt US politicians.

Written over several days (Note: I’m back in the US – a travel tale I’ll have in a separate post.) So it’s been several days, and overall, the frequency of “incoming” has gone down by a large margin. But while there are qualitative as well as quantitative indications of that, fire seems to be focused … Read more
Rohit “Ro” Khanna (D-CA) is typically a very moderate Democrat who has a pretty honest perspective of what is happening in the country and world.

When you put people and equipment in action, even the best planning doesn’t protect everyone from accidents or tragedy. There are a lot of both milling about in the Middle East with kinetic intent, so failure is an exponentially likely option. Last week, a KC-135 tanker went down. Multiple reports claimed all sorts of things, … Read more
The “New” Ayatollah has arrived, and it is a horrible joke played on the back of a nation.

This is not a leadership transition; it is a palace coup by … Read more

As New Hampshire State Chapter Leader for the Independent Women’s Network, I’ve seen Americans wake up to leftist hypocrisy and media lies.

The regime there is a machine of … Read more

One thing is guaranteed when you are monitoring the thoughts and actions of the Left. Just when you think that they cannot say anything more stupid, illogical, or irrational, they dig down deeper into their personal rabbit hole and go lower.

Today, on the morning update, the Islamic Republic of Iran has been at war with America for over 45 years, which is actually a very short war for Muslims and Islam.
