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. He is a pretty regular guest on FOX News because of his middle of the road stances, but today was not a typical day for the California Congressman, as his … Read more

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. As of March 9, 2026, the Assembly of Experts – under the boot of the Revolutionary Guard – has officially crowned Mojtaba Khamenei as the Supreme Leader. 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. My own exit from the Democratic Party came from watching selective outrage: people who scream “believe women” and “save the children” ignore real oppression in Iran. The regime there is a machine of … Read more
For decades, the American people have been fed a steady diet of lies regarding “democracy building” in the Middle East. But the most dangerous deception is happening right now, orchestrated by the very man who once held the keys to the CIA and the State Department: Mike Pompeo. This isn’t just about bad policy; it … 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. Gavin Newsom is already running for President, and why shouldn’t he? He has already … Read more
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. So, when Democrats and their so-called Republican water carriers scream about Trump starting a forever war, is he? Or is he trying to end … Read more
The proglodyte response to Trump’s decapitation strikes in Iran are nothing short of a multiple personality disorder where none ot the personalities are interesting or remotely sane. Usually one of them is lucid, but none of that here. That makes for low-hanging fruit that’s easy to pick. Another angle as old as the Islamic Republic … Read more
Oh! Donald, you’re at it again! Why, OH, Why bomb Iran again? Many think the bombing is unnecessary and mean-spirited. Let’s review the pathetic American military war strategy in the Middle East since 1948. President Harry Truman refused to allow General Douglas MacArthur to cross the Yalu River in 1949 to consummate a victory in … Read more

The late President Reagan played a crucial role in dismantling the scourge of Soviet communism, while you, Mr. President, are committed to consigning the standard bearers of Islamic terrorism to their well-deserved demise. Mr. President, you have repeatedly pointed out that appeasing tyrants invariably fails to satisfy them and only serves to whet their appetite. … Read more
We are a society of strong words, fair intentions, and little conviction for living up to either. After Hitler exterminated 6 million Jews, the world vowed it would never sit idly by and let another massacre happen; not on our watch. Then we watched Pol Pot kill 3 million Cambodians. China is incarcerating as many … Read more
Two of the 14 Marine Corps Leadership Traits are Initiative and Decisiveness, and President Trump certainly took some initiative and was decisive with his decision to bomb Iran and decapitate its leaders. (Other traits include Dependability, Tact, Integrity, Unselfishness, and Loyalty, which are subjects for a different column.) As was the case with his decision … Read more
I landed in Israel on Friday in the early afternoon, and at passport control, I was asked whether I was aware of the situation with Iran and whether I really wanted to enter. I said I knew it was tense, and looking back, I wonder how much the passport officer actually knew about what was going to … Read more
The world is heavier today – not with grief, but with the weight of justice finally rendered. On February 28, 2026, the era of the “Shadow of God” ended in a plume of fire. Ali Khamenei, the butcher who turned Iran into a prison and the Middle East into a graveyard, was erased from existence in a surgical strike … Read more
