The Democrats’ reaction to both the State of the Union and now the bombing of Iran will have a sobering effect on anyone who hasn’t already been red-pilled by a party that has, it’s fair to say, collectively lost its mind.
Pshew, it all needed saying just as you said it ... A religious monster has been terminated, sadly too late, especially after the slaughter of dozens of thousands of Iranians striving for their freedom ... For many who love our innate desire for individual freedom, the most universal of all our attributes, the elimination of one of the most evil religious tyrants the world has seen is hopefully a warning to others who also seek to suppress freedom, that which is essential for the celebration of Life ... Persia may yet rise again and it's past magnificent culture blossom again ... Albeit on the enormous sacrifices of genuine martyrs, women who sought to be free to choose how they wished to live, the men who perished along with them whilst the Western Left and the Global South stayed silent as madmen slaughtered them ...
I get heartbroken when I see my fellow Christian US military members get sacrificed at the alter of Epstein Zionists. We aren’t liberating Iran. We’re killing our own soldiers and innocent Iranian schoolchildren so Israel can control Gaza and Iran territory.
You have a problem with Epstein? After all the photos of successful men with hot busty and obviously fertile young women draped over his arms, I don't know a young man who now does not want to be him.
Silly comment. Why would an observant Jew or faithful Christian HUSBAND want a pop tart on his arm? Have you ever read the Proverbs of Solomon? And yes, Solomon failed and was a destructive and horrible example for marriage.
We only have eyes and hearts and love for our wives and NO other woman. Why? Genesis 2:24. Look it up sir. If you please to.
I’m a Catholic US military veteran. Four of my brothers are also. What a regret it is having defended America so warmongering Israel Firsters like you felt safe while you slaughtered children in Gaza and raped them on Epstein Zionist island.
Let’s see, you’re a bot? A Chinese payee? Love terrorists and terrorism? We know you’re foul mouthed, if you're a real person do you kiss any loved ones with that mouth? We know you’re a Jew hater and apparently the hater of America as well? Vote democrat?
You claim to be Catholic. I’m guessing you support abortion? Just projection the “package” of political views that you most likely hold, based on the nonsense you’ve shared with us.
It's just come out that an IRGC missile hit that school. If you had any Iranian friends, you would have a very different view of their current liberation from utter hell.
Why are you all so obsessed with Epstein now and not 4 years ago when Biden was president if there was anything bad about Trump in there you can bet the democrats would have had it plastered everywhere just like they did about everything else they tried to get him on which didn’t really work out for you all did it
Trump says there will be American casualties in this war and we need to accept that. There already have been 3 killed and they died for Israel, not America. Shame on you for being too dense to see that.
Really? Our soldiers Died for Israel. Oh my. So I guess Iran calls us the great satan because they hate Jews. As do you. And they bombed the barracks in Lebanon because Israel. And they took over the Achilles Laurel and killed Americans because Israel. And they took our embassy workers in 1979 because Israel. And they developed and used IEDs against Americans because Israel. And they captured and tortured the CIA guy because Israel.
The primary enemy of the Christian West is ISLAM and
Satan, not our Jewish cousins. And also the 2nd most evil enemy, the World Economic Forum, based in Germany by the neo Nazi Klaus Schwab, and his Davos empire. Including many American CEO’s and government officials.
So a nation with a steady stream of foreign exchange cash that installs billboards with "Death to America" themes, is busy enriching uranium and is busy building ever-longer range missiles shouldn't be a concern?
Not nearly as big a concern as a state that committed genocide in 2025 by slaughtering over 100,000 Palestinian women and children in Gaza, and who uses a culture of pedophile sex trafficking to enrich its Israeli Zionist Epstein network. And that attacked our US Navy ship, the USS-Liberty. Thanks for asking politely, Crankie Frankie.
Somehow the government chosen in the one and only election in Gaza managed to take miles of picturesque Mediterranean beaches and turn them into squalor requiring billions from the west to survive. Instead of every Gazan being hotel rich, they live on pallets of rice from Texas. Along the way, women are treated as chattel and gays are thrown from rooftops. Sugar and fertilizer sent from the West as aid get melted together to fuel solid propellant rockets, some of which fall on friendlies.
Even without the October 7 rape and slaughter festival of the unarmed, that crew needed killing. Interestingly, recent PR releases from Hamas have made clear that the vast majority of the dead are Hamas gang members.
And to defend the USA. Should Iranian theocracy obtained nuclear weapons the threat to the USA would very likely been carried out by those calling for the "Death to the Great Satan, US"
Correction, 8 heroes serving to defend the USA. Allowing Iran to become a nuclear threat to Israel, the Middle East, Europe and eventually the USA is the reason for this conflict. Deeply sorry for the loss of life and those injured but their service is in defense of the nation. Like yourself and I, they signed up to ensure our freedoms.
Thanks, Paul. I have just reread what I wrote. I think all three sentences are accurate and truthful. I will be happy and thankful if the results are a quick and just peace. I will be heartbroken if many people die or suffer, either through violence or subjection. I pray daily at Mass and rosary for a just peace. (Just war is a term in Catholic doctrine; we’re supposed to avoid unjust wars). Take care.
Hey, Libertarian. While we are on different sides regarding most of your commentary, I do share your hope that the war ends as soon as reasonably possible. Here's hoping that the Iranians can have a much better life than they had under the yoke of Radical Islam for some 47 years. Pax vobiscum, hombre!
Completely agree and praying hard for peace to both. Am really saddened to see a post from Glenn Greenwald about multiple US military deaths and casualties from this. If America weren’t so vested in funding and risking US casualties, I’d be less adamant about my opposition.
We’ve done nothing for 47 years until finally, a president who who sees clearly the danger, and weighs the risk and gets enough countries with him to end the terror regime to liberate the Persian people does what all of us know has to be done. And he heard the cries for help from the people. He’s not interested in installing a puppet, he’s leaving it up to the people who justifiably want their freedom. God willing, they’ve learned what they don’t want! Plus, he stopped a preemptive strike planned for this weekend where our soldiers surely would’ve perished!
Real Christians understand that both observant Jews and faithful Christians are grafted into the root of Abraham, Father of many nations. Epstein and his fello evil travelers of all sorts will face King Jesus at the great white throne of justice on the Day of the Lord, the 2nd Advent. I understand that it is very hot 🔥 where they go to, separated from all humans and God Almighty for eternity.
Not a single U.S. soldier has died in this conflict nor, to my knowledge, a single schoolchild. Get in touch with reality. Edit: Turns out Iranian schoolchildren DID die . . . when one of Iran's own missiles hit one of their schools!
At least three American service members killed, 5 others seriously wounded, in the first 24 hours of the new war. I pray to Jesus that He brings them home.
Try to be less hostile to people you don’t agree with, Adam Mitchell.
I am not a Jew hater or Muslim supporter. Stop with the name calling or the conversation is over. Israel killed over 100,000 women and children last year and the pope condemned it. I go to Mass and rosary daily and pray for peace there. I’m a U.S. military veteran too so please don’t pull the you’re naive to war card either.
(?) A military veteran should grasp the difference between Israel's going after military targets, and their enemy's indiscriminate targeting of civilians. It's not enough just to cite casualty lists. In WWII the western powers eventually managed to inflict more casualties on the Germans than they suffered themselves. It doesn't follow from this that Hitler and his henchmen were the good guys.
Pointing out the facts is not name calling. Yes, the Pharisees went to Mass daily too. Perhaps it would be better to purge the hate from your heart, perhaps by talking to a priest.
There can be no peace in the Middle East when the mass-murdering Islamic fanatics are in charge of Iran, or when the Palestinians continue their terrorism. One who wants peace should support the decapitation strikes against Iran.
“We’re killing our own soldiers” Are you living in an alternate reality? Or in a box clutching your emotional support blankie? I think both. We haven’t sacrificed a single soldier, you absolute imbecile. “ziOniSts!” “Israel Israel Israel!” God you people have gone so far overboard making everything about them that you have lost everyone. Nobody listens to you anymore. You’re insufferable, traitorous, unAmerican deceivers, and we ALL see you now.
It's remarkable how people here don't see it. Like they're cosigning themselves into more debt, higher gas prices, and the real threat of nuclear armed conflict. All so The Greater Isreal Project can take shape? Look, if Isreal wants to go do this, please do. Just stop asking for American taxpayers to foot the bill, especially when our roads are crumbling, our jobs are being sent to East Asia, and the quality of life is deteriorating into nihilist tendencies. You wanna help Isreal go fight their their Holy War, go get dual citizenship and go fight/die for them.
While I'm in "wait and see" mode on this event, I do agree it seems positive for the region and the world overall. Islamic regimes are not peaceable people. However, let's be clear, Ben Shapiro and his like only support this because it's good for Israel. While this may have been necessary, I would rather we stay out of decade-plus-old ethnic Middle-eastern blood feuds.
Megyn Kelly has become disgusted with Israel and with our leaders who follow them wherever they demand we go. Both videos are quite damning of the always pro-Israel mentality. At the end of the 11 min video the last comment is from Megyn who says “ We’ve done enough for Israel!” We’ve actually done far too much for them and have severely damaged ourselves by doing so.
“Benjamin Netanyahu Is at It Again. Tucker Explains.” (9 min)
Tucker Carlson interviews Megyn Kelly. Feb 27, 2026
Welcome back, Seva. Btw Sasha’s subscriber base has changed to become mostly Israel First warmongers who never served in the US military like you, Matt, me and a very few others. They can’t tolerate journalists that used to be popular here like Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly; because those journalists present objective and insightful criticism of Israel. A mortal sin in the land of fanatic Zionism.
They’ve been Israel First all along and I’ve often argued with them to no avail. It is significant though that someone like Megyn Kelly who was so pro-Israel since Oct 7 has now turned against them and agrees with Tucker that our support for their endless warmongering, genocide and ethnic cleansing is insane and must not continue. Megyn has a lot of followers and is very influential.
“In the Reuters/Ipsos survey, some 27% of respondents said they approved of the strikes, while a majority said they were either unsure about them (29%) or said they disapproved (43%).”
I agree with you totally. This group won't like it because they have the opposite of TDS. Another version of mass formation psychosis. Don't question the group!
I also remember Israel’s deliberate attack on the USS-Liberty, the overwhelming Jewish leadership of the Bolsheviks killing millions of Christians, the dancing Israelis of 9/11, Jack Rubenstein’s involvement of JFK’s assassination, the Epstein files and finally the Jews who drove the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Iran did nothing to Christians compared to that.
You Nick Fuentes wannabes and Tucker Carlson types are not welcome in the right wing. You are not MAGA. Go vote with your fellow America and Jew haters on the Left. Ilhan Omar is your new buddy.
I go to Mass and Rosary every day. I’m well educated, had an excellent career as an exec in Fortune 50, still see friends from grade school and numerous trips overseas. Four of my brothers and I served active duty US military. I’m well grounded. Perhaps it is you who should educate yourself, serve active duty US military (they’re desperate now for recruits), and get help. I’m serious.
So many in my family and neighborhood served in the US military and it’s no honor for us to more fully realize it was not about defending America but instead enriching Zionists who call us goy trash. Thanks for the link, Glenda.
You forget to note the 100,000 women and children Israel killed in Gaza in 2025, or the 300,000 they wounded, or the 1 million they made homeless. Israel Zionists Epstein’s are the modern Nazis.
Guess you forgot how the Shah we installed after removing their democratically elected government killed thousands of protestors before he was replaced by this uniquely evil regime. "We're Americans, we don't need no stinkin' history lessons!"
Not quite. The conquered people of England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland were never citizens. They were and still are subjects to the British Crown. Subjects, not citizens. They are ruled by pedos like prince Andrew and the idiot savant Charles III, who despises English girls and favors Muslims, the global warming scams, and hates bad architecture . No love whatsoever of the English peoples.
Washington also said to the Americans to not engage with unending European wars. Ukraine is none of our business . Our useless nato partners who prefer Muslims to Christians. Allahoop Snakbar boys. Bend over. Your pasha demands to emasculate you now. Or your ayatollah, the next one. The Caliph of Paris or London. Or both together.
Let’s get into this. A western nation with a democratically elected government that, for its time, was pretty competent, was attacked by Britain!! That poor Mr Hitler.
Have you ever heard of the Anglo Persian Oil Company? Look it up.
Have you ever heard of Baku, Azerbaijan ? Stalin blocked Hitler there from a primary source of oil. Hitler made diesel fuel from coal instead. Then Hitler launched Barbarossa , the assault on Russia, the same incredibly stupid repeat that Napoleon did. Cold kills everything including people and tanks. Global warming makes the plants, jungles, and crops grow faster. Go figure…. Which is better for human beings?
The shah didn’t get installed. He was the rightful heir to the throne.
You can blame the British and Soviets for deposing his father, but then you would also have to blame them for Iran having a democratic government in the first place.
Might want to brush up on your Iranian history before you start making ignorant comments about Americans not knowing history.
I am so tired of people who cherry pick history to support their point of view while conveniently ignoring the rest. What's worse is how many people fall for it.
"forgot how the Shah we installed after removing their democratically elected government "
Not quite: the Shah was in power since 1941. In 1953 he appointed a new Prime Minister, Mohammed Mossadegh, a senior prince from the previous Qajjar dynasty and shortly after Mossadegh called an election... stopping the vote count as soon as it showed him ahead.
After being deposed by the Shah, Mossadegh retired to his opulent country estate in Ahmedabad.
By getting rid of Mossadegh and his mix of clerical and communist allies, the Shah was free to begin his White Revolution, which emancipated Iranian women and gave them the right to vote, That last item infuriated an obscure cleric in Qom, Ruhollah Khomeini, who began agitating against the Shah.
Full details in the masterful book by Ali Ansari "Modern Iran since 1797",
PS Isn't history more interesting when you don't invent your own facts?
By the British and Soviets who removed his father for suspected pro-Hitler sentiments. Iran was the major route for Lend Lease for the Soviets. He appointed Mosedeq (sp?) but probably was involved in the mostly bloodless coup by CIA and MI6 that removed him. The real trouble started with the White Revolution which featured land reform, equal rights for women, education and removing special privileges for clergy. BTW, Jews and Persians were friendly for 2500 years prior to 1979.
Khomenei translated Muslim Brotherhood writings into Persian. The whole regime is based on Muslim Brotherhood.
When the Muslim Brotherhood community organized a sit in at Tahriri Square, Darth Traitor threw a 30-year ally under the bus.
When al Qaeda attacked Gaddafy, who had made nice with the US and Europe, Darth Traitor funded them, betrayed Gaddafy and cheered when he was murdered.
But when the Green Movement took to the streets to protest the elections in Iran, Crickets.
He always always always sided with the Islamists and the Muslim Brotherhood, whether they were protesting or protested.
Gaddafy’s most important statement to the now mostly pagan west, with exceptions in the USA and some countries in Eastern Europe, was that Islam will conquer Europe with the wombs of muslim women. This is the Green Velvet Glove of the Saudis and the gulf states who shower the western universities and streets and corporations and politicians with the fake ideals of “peaceful Islam” with 10’s of $Billions of dollars in bribes to open up the stupidly of our pagan neighbors next door in our small or large towns. The Muslim brotherhood is Sunni. Born from the ashes of the destruction of the ottoman caliphate after WW1, and born in Egypt ten years later. The Saudis hope that Trump will destroy the Shiites. And then allow themselves to complete the conquering of Europe peacefully. Allahoop snakbar. Ladies… get your discounted burquas at Goodman Bergdorf in NYC or Harrods in London while you are able to. Sharia law is coming.
YHWH punished Israel and Judea with the Assyrians, Babylonians , and the Persians , and Greeks, and the Romans. Now YHWH will punish the west with the Mohammedans. Get ready. Pure and true Christianity is your only defense.
The really Good news is that King Jesus is YHWH, God Almighty, and He will bring His church home to the new earth safely for eternity. Islam is a branch of satanism headed to the lake of Fire for eternity. 🔥
Well, installation is perhaps too strong a word, but yes, he helped engineer the fall of Iran's government and the takeover of Ayatollah Khomeni. Search it.
I love you Sasha for your honesty, courage and forthrightness. I have to think this action by Trump against the Iranian regime will cause significant red pilling, as they see their icons on the Left .. the AOC’s and the Zohrans of this world.. not give one shit for the 32,000 murdered protesters but then get all weepy eyed and outraged that one of the world’s most evil regimes is being taken out. The lines get more clearly drawn every day between the decent and the indecent do they not?
The left didn’t give a shit about all the innocent Israeli babies who suffered in the Hamas attack. They didn’t give a shit about the young women savagely raped by Hamas
They are blind to evil and call good things evil. How did they get so twisted?
No Rooster; I get heartbroken when I see my fellow Christian US military members get sacrificed at the alter of Epstein Zionists. We aren’t liberating Iran! That’s a bad joke. We’re killing our own soldiers and innocent schoolchildren so Israel can control Gaza and Iran territory.
Funny, the Iranian people seem jubilant about it. Has it escaped your notice that in January, the mullahs murdered 32,000 protestors? You should seek out the photos of some of these people. Most of them were young, and heartbreaking, many of the women beautiful in a way which haunts a normal man.
Last month, an estimated 32,000 of them risked death, and lost, to protest the regime. To me that's a telling referendum. It's plain that the Iranian people despise the ayatollahs.
I thought the reactions over the weekend in the rest of the world were telling: there were nothing like the millions of useful idiots who have marched for poor Hamas victims of Israeli genocide in Gaza. ( Yes, I am being sarcastic. ) There were some half hearted attempts to hold the coalition of young Androids together to protest the attack on Iran, but they were remarkably unsuccessful because if they hadn't been, the Trump hating traditional media would have made sure we knew about it.
Instead, every demonstration I saw consisted of people I would love to know, most of them jubilant, many of them young, delight in their countenances, as prosocial as the demonstrators for Hamas are antisocial.
If you want what I consider the best, because the most personally driven, coverage of what's going on in Iran and how the Iranian people really view the mullahs, go to TousiTV on YouTube. Mahyar Tousi is an Iranian refugee in his thirties, now in London. As Tousi says at the end of his videos, "We are the media." And indeed, he is.
That Jews are modern Nazis because Jews committed genocide in Gaza in 2025 is not my fault. The Zionist Epstein’s Israeli Jews are guilty of having committed a genocide. It’s part of history now and the world knows it.
I am a Catholic US military veteran who goes to Mass and Rosary every day and I am being truthful.
After October 7th, the Jews had license to do whatever necessary. 70% of Palestinians supported that atrocity by Hamas degenerates. Anything that happened in Gaza after that was morally and ethically acceptable.
Hamas is nothing more than a continuation of Hitler's program to exterminate Jews. It's no secret that the leader of the Palestinians in the 1940s, the Grand Mufti al Husseini, was living in Germany, met with Hitler and begged him for assistance in exterminating Jews in Israel. Hitler was too busy in Russia to help, but he would have gladly done it if he could.
Your understanding of history in this matter is woefully lacking. The Jews have been fighting defensive wars of survival since 1948 when they were invaded by five Arab countries. The same thing happened in 1967 and 1973. Since that time Palestinian terrorism characterized by suicide bombers who target children among other crimes have afflicted Jews and their children.
Wake up. You are dupe for Jew-haters around the world. The idea that you are a libertarian is laughable.
I’m glad we agree that Jews committed genocide in Gaza in 2025 and that it is now part of their history like the millions of Christians they murdered in the Bolshevik revolution. Some tribe…
Exterminating rats in tunnels is not genocide. It's vermin eradication.
Again, you have a bizarre view of history. Yes, there were Jews among the Bolsheviks, but the vast majority of them came from Christian backgrounds.
Here's some history to help you overcome your stone-cold ignorance: From Grok:
\\Based on Bolshevik Party censuses and analyses:
Pre-1917 Revolution (early 1917): The party had approximately 23,000–24,000 members, of whom about 364 (1.6%) were ethnic Jews.
1922 Party Census: Out of roughly 375,000 total members, 19,564 (5.21%) were ethnic Jews.//
In other words, in 1922 the percentage of Jews in the Bolshevik Communist Party was roughly equal to their percentage in the population of Russia as a whole. You, my friend, are an anti-Semite of the most odious kind.
Your inclusion of “Epstein” repeatedly in all your rants is your “tell” that you’re not only unhinged with irrational rage but that you’re nothing but a juvenile name -caller. Zero substance. But, of course, that’s why you’re a solid, loyal Democrat.
I was thinking the same thing. “Zionists” and “Epstein” is all this person can see no matter what they are looking at. Surest sign of falling to the brainwashing of those that want just that.
Yea I missed the memo to drop that name when we bombed Iran on behalf of the intel agency he worked for. My bad. Mums the word for the epsteinazis from here out. Promise no more tells!
I don’t see it. I’d be willing to bet that somewhere in excess of 90% of Democrats who will leave the party have already done so.
My experience with virtually everyone in my family, my friends, and coworkers, is that they are getting crazier. They are less willing to consider any alternative to their fanatical religious beliefs.
I keep telling them I won’t discuss politics, but everything is politics (religion) to them.
I somehow kept myself from telling my best friend of 37 years that I didn’t want to see him again after a completely unhinged rant aimed at me just a few days ago. It was so bad, so disconnected from reality, I couldn’t even think straight. I managed to just say we needed a break from each other, paid my bill, told him I’d call him sometime next month, and walked out, but I wanted to tell him I was done with him.
This goes on and on in so many aspects of my life. I’m normally one for contentious debate, but we are living in two different worlds now. They exist in an imaginary land they create for each other. They are burning with hatred, and it thrills them. It gives them meaning.
I think those that were going to get out were out by Election Day 2024.
Thankfully I haven’t had your experience with a friend, but I have a sister who’s an unhinged Dem. She falls for all of their crazy BS. It’s like you can see it in their eyes, a swirling whirligig packed with all of the anti-reality ideas they hold and march for. Trump is right, they’re all crazy people. Plus, I think they’re all very low intellect and thus not worth arguing with bc for them, it’s all emotion all the time & logic isn’t in play, ever.
I don't know that they're low intellect so much as vulnerable to the positive feedback loops they become addicted to from fellow travelers in their social circles; getting dopamine bumps every time they post something derogatory towards the "out group."
Noah Rothman wrote a great book about this called "The New Puritans."
You're either with them...or you're against them. No middle ground and litmus tests at every step of the way...just like a cult.
💯they’re a cult. For sure virtue signaling is their daily bread & they strive for more dopamine hits. But, I don’t know any genuinely smart people who believe this BS. It’s all the leftover crap ideas from Obama (not a smart dude) wrapped up in self-congratulatory social media posts. They’re the Dumb Cult.
Yes. I noticed during the covid opp and even a couple years before that my liberal friends were becoming fully obsessed with Trump and my moderate left views suddenly were becoming far right in their minds. I couldn't understand it, but we all seem to live in echo chambers now, even those on the right. I find this all very disturbing, but more so on the left where the ability to even consider counter arguments has disappeared. There are people like that on the right, as there always have been, but most of the conservatives I've talked to seem quite reasonable even if there are things we can't agree on. They haven't lost their minds, in other words. I can't call myself conservative, but at least I haven't lost my mind over Trump and while I do not like him at all (to be fair, I can't really think of a President in my lifetime that I actually liked), I do like a number of his policies and felt that a re-balancing was in order. Which drove a lot of Dems off the edge, the idea that anyone could possibly not agree with everything they want.
J.K. Rowling found that out the hard way. She agrees with 99% of the Left's political positions, but that single area of disagreement made her a hated heretic on the Left.
Many on the left are very smart, what they lack, is wisdom. As we know, intelligence without wisdom, is dangerous at best. They refuse to humble themselves to the Truth (Jesus), whom alone bestows true, lasting wisdom.
Hahahaha, she returns!! NWCitizen and her leftist woke takes. I’m not brainwashed but I certainly have my own opinions. You have severe TDS and are a protesting member of “The Resistance,” and I know your type very well. I’m sure you’ve marched in every pet protest of the Left—climate? Palestine? BLM? No Kings? Are you marching in support of the Ayatollah and Mullahs bc it was Trump who bombed Iran, the murderous blood-thirsty thugs of the ME? Oh and God Forbid he acted with Israel, right?
You nailed it. To leftists, politics IS their religion, the concept of all-powerful government their god, and their paradise a capitalism-free utopia in a totalitarian state. That's why it's so hard to reason with them; as a wise man once said, "You can't reason a man out of a position he didn't reason himself into."
One reason those who remain will never change course at this point is because their lives and lifestyles absolutely depend on it. For the trans community, the Trump administration is an existential crisis. They’d support Iran level dictatorial oppression and outright murder of hundreds of thousands/millions of necessary, to protect their own freedom to push their lifestyle down our throats and rip kids out from under their parents’ influence. The others that aren’t trans are in two camps: 1) they financially benefit under the democrat governance, fraud, and 2) they have been so fully brainwashed and indoctrinated at the higher academic levels and their entire identity of importance relies on everything they learned remaining true.
I think there is hope for the senior citizens who were brainwashed but don’t have liberal family. Those with liberal support systems in their life are never going to wake up.
You are correct. And the Republicans, if they want to win any elections, better take that to heart. Ballot harvests are created to guarantee Dem wins. I am a former Dem and will never vote in a Republican primary, but the Dems are beyond help. Watching them at the SOTU was unbelievable. They hate Trump, but they hate everybody not them, too.
whats left of the democrat party does not want peace or reconciliation with the rest of the country. they want to sieze power and wield it to cause punishment, misery, abuse. they do not provide an option of peace except total surrender to their crazy ideology. people need to wake up. it will be us or them. they will never stop. get it into your heads.
They’re casualties of a media psy op; there’s no other reasonable explanation. The symptoms are almost universal. I recognize my own friends and family members in these descriptions. It’s sad and scary.
All that needs to be said about the Tuckers and the MTGs of the world is that they're not worried that these attacks may fail but that they will succeed. It's pretty hard to call yourself America First when you are openly rooting for America to fail.
I don't know what will happen next. Things could go wrong in any number of ways, but there is a chance we are witnessing the beginning of a new era in the Middle East where we might actually see relative peace. I hope the Iranian people can seize this moment, not only for their own sake but for the sake of the world.
Yes truly amazing time full of promise for the people there if they do their part. Prayers for Trump and our leaders to navigate this with wisdom and clarity.
Need some cheese with that whine, little proggy? Best be finding a deep hole to crawl into. Or emigrate. We're just getting started and there's not a damn thing you little anti-American pukes can do about it. MAGA FOREVER!!!
The “Ep” in Epic Fury is apparently for your Zionist friend EPstein. Go figure. Not inferring anything, John; so no need to get defensive about supporting his benefactors in Israel.
And I am a pro-American US military veteran who is sick of Christian Americans being sacrificed for Israel. Remember the USS-Liberty that Israel deliberately attacked and killed US sailors.
We are also glad you saw the light, and left the cult!
God willing the evidence of REALITY will convince other Americans as well. While I was young during the Iran revolution of 1979, that evil regime and its terrorist tentacles has colored my entire adult life. Seeing it seemingly fatally wounded is lifting one of the anvils on our collective soul.
God willing the Iranians will be able to build a new path—hard work of course, and stumbles along the way. It will not likely look like America but again, with God’s help, it will work for its citizens.
The first was 10/7/23. Result was neutering of Hamas & Hezbollah. Yesterday attack doesn’t happen without the proxies 1st sidelined. Those Iran insurance policies don’t get put out to pasture without 1st sneak-attacking Israel.
Second is that little happening yesterday that results in a 7-day holiday and 40 days of mourning in Iran.
Agreed on the necessity of defanging Iran’s proxies, and the air strikes in 2024 and 2025 were also critical to so far success in Iran. I have to admit though, that 10/7 was so dark that it weighed on me.
So, did Israel ‘allow’ 10/7 to occur in order to then initiate the brilliant retaliations? Like that pager sac-attack? I know it’s a repugnant thing to think Bibi would let this happen but consider where we’re at now. I remember Isreali leadership getting scorched at the time for not seeing 10/7 coming. Maybe they actually did?
There is a theory that FDR knew about Pearl Harbor in advance and let it happen so he could have his war. It is pretty fact free since Japan wasn't the war he wanted and Germany would have been a heavy lift even after PH if Hitler hadn't been so stupid as to declare war on the US. Pearl Harbor got the same war warning that everyone else did but the military was fixated on their wrong theory of how the Japanese would attack.
The historical record suggests that theory is true. 3 things.
1. Japan had war plans to attack Pearl Harbor long before it occurred.
2. Churchill had long pestered FDR for America to formally enter WW2, but FDR resisted due the overwhelming anti-enter-another-European war sentiment among the majority of US citizens at the time.
3. USA/Britian announced a naval blockage of inbound oil shipments to Japan in the summer of 1941. Meaning the UK parking warships at the Malacca Strait. Japan was totally reliant on oil imports so this action was viewed as existential.
The theory then goes into conspiracy land when one wonders if the flattops were purposely out of harbor at time of attack. It’s not out of realm of possibility but no evidence that I’m aware of that this was anything other than happenstance (or maybe God’s Providence)
Prewar plans for both US and Japan visualized a decisive battle between battleships somewhere around the Philippines. What the Japanese needed to break the blockade were the Dutch oilfields and Malayan rubber and tin. Looking at the map, the Philippines were in the way. So the American military was obsessed with the Philippines. Yamamoto upset the plans of both sides. He had to threaten to resign to get the Japanese to go along and it was a strategic surprise to the Americans. Both American commanders at PH were cashiered for incompetence. This was reversed decades later based on the notion that everyone in the loop was subject to the same groupthink. So while everything you say is accurate, it was still a surprise for the Japanese to be so far east and for the carriers to be so effective. Shouldn't have been since the far less capable British carriers had done the same thing to the Italians the year before. Also in a war game back in the 30s, an American admiral playing the Japanese side had successfully attacked PH with his carriers. Never underestimate the power of groupthink.
Also; “Case Closed: The Gulf of Tonkin IncidentThe 1964 Gulf of Tonkin incident involved a real, minor engagement on August 2, followed by a non-existent "second attack" on August 4 that the NSA later admitted was based on distorted intelligence. This falsified report allowed the Johnson administration to push the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution through Congress, leading to major U.S. escalation in the Vietnam War.
Honestly, don’t know. I find it hard to believe that the Israeli leaders would condone that kind of slaughter. I have a similar take on 9/11. Conspiracies that only require wire tapping and lawfare, otoh, are quite credible to me (see Russia gate, FBI tapping congressional phones, dubbed iirc Arctic Frost, and recent revelations of Biden’s FBI tapping conversations between Susie Wiles and her lawyer. All despicable.).;
Israel goes the extra mile to retrieve hostages, or even just their bodies to the detriment of their own military efforts.
That seems contradictory to the idea of "Yeah, we'll let thousands of our people die in a surprise attack we could stop but we need a good justification for getting a war on the way."
I get heartbroken when I see my fellow Christian US military members get sacrificed at the alter of Epstein Zionists. We aren’t liberating Iran. We’re killing our own soldiers and innocent schoolchildren so Israel can control Gaza and Iran territory.
I’m not but happy for you to ignore me, Iscbydesign. I was kinda thinking that all the Zionist shills are bots also. What else explains their defense of a nation that slaughtered 100,000 women and children last year in Gaza?
Deeply disagreeing with you does not automatically make someone a “Zionist shill”. Your extremism is a sad sign of what you really are. There are MANY positions between both extremes and you refuse to respect them. You sound like you live in a padded room.
Like Goebbels, you just make things up. If you were a fantasy writer that would be swell. But you make up complete lies about matters in the actual world.
Do you know your Bible well enough to know that one of the Devil's primary means of working is through slander?
Like Hitler, you just make things up. If you were a fantasy writer that would be swell. But you make up complete lies about matters in the actual world.
Do you know your Bible well enough to know that one of the Devil's primary means of working is through slander?
30,000 protestors killed by the Iranian regime. I guess that didn't bother you. We'll see how all this plays out but Iran striking out at other Arab nations that were trying to negotiate peace with them say more to me than what you are saying (US bases in those countries were hit, I realize that, but those nations welcomed the US bases at the time).
It does bother me. Both Iran and Israel are evil. Did it bother you that Israel slaughtered over 100,000 innocent women and children in Gaza in 2025, Mike Gustine?
War is hell. As a Christian we can all deplore the innocents killed.
Your conflation of Epstein and Zionists is not one that I concur with (acknowledging Epstein's close relationship with Baruk). Israel has a right to exist, and we are entitled to our own views of the country and its leadership. Anti-semitism is evil, flat out. If you are a Christian that is something you should pray about if your views are anti-semitic.
Not going to get into the back and forth re. Gaza, as I suspect it won’t be productive. I’ve been there and am well aware of the manipulative tactics of HAMAS and their press and UNHRW allies.
I am not anti-Semite. I am highly critical of Israeli and US actions because my faith, Catholic, compels me to oppose unjust wars and injustice. Both of which I believe Israel and my country (US) are now engaged in and pushing. And since you mentioned having been in Gaza, I can relate that I too have been in similar places as part of my U.S. military tour. Let’s both pray for a quick, just and lasting peace.
I'm supportive of what was done, but who knows what tools the Regime still has remaining.
The fact Iran hit all their Arab neighbors too was the most telling of all actions the Iranians took for they just made this literally "them against the world (excluding Cuba, Russia and China)
Time will tell how this works out, but right now I"m praying for the Iranian people that their women and children can grow up in an environment where they can make decisions for themselves without an oppressive fascist tyrannical government lording over them each and every day.'
Thank you for this. Yesterday was amazing for the sane world, and the left in this country showed they will always and forever choose evil. We knew it, of course, from the transing of children, letting illegals r*pe and kill at will, and assassination culture that prevails with them. But if there was one thing that should have unified all Americans with the rest of the non-Islamist/jihadi/terrorist world, it should be this. It should be giving the Iranians life outside the evil they have lived under for nearly half a century. They couldn’t and apparently don’t even want to.
In my first real after-college job, I worked with a wonderful Persian gal. Her family had fled when the Shah fell, like so many. She would have me for dinner with her family and make wonderful Persian food and they’d tell stories of how it was before, and how many friends and family they lost to the Ayatollah regime. How many just disappeared, shot into mass graves. How women lost everything in a day - freedom, education, movement. I cried seeing the Iranians in the US celebrating and listening to women who had escaped telling their stories and giving updates on Instagram.
I guess there was a pretty crowded crossroads where the devil sat and met with all these people who are now inhuman…
While I appreciate the spirit of this sentiment, the answer lies not in cutting women off from education (something an Iranian government would do,) but in fixing our education system and cutting out the monsters that sabotaged it.
Education has been dumbed down as to not intimidate liberal women. They are given degrees that are worthless just so that they can run around acting like they are superior just because they have a degree. Colleges have to make up degree fields so that they can graduate with something that will make them feel superior to others.
We need to tighten standatrds.
Calculus is a freshman level math class. Anyone who cannot handle freshman level calculus has no business being in college in the first place. /
If we would raise our standards, we can weed out a lot of these liberals before they ever get on campus in the first place.
This is a tough one for the liberal jew haters to comment on. They're best to keep quiet, lest they appear stupid trying to attack Jews for freeing Muslims from oppression .
Thanks for the link. I’ve seen that guy’s reels on my IG feed before, and he usually has good takes. The only thing I disagreed with in the article is him saying Russia interfered in our 2016 election. That’s been thoroughly debunked.
Hmmm I wasn’t sure if he was talking about the interference that Clinton actually allowed for herself or the interference they were accusing Trump of. We have enough evidence now that the latter was false and fabricated, but in uncovering that they found evidence of interference on her behalf, if I remember correctly.
What will the anti-war protestors do when the U.S. military withdraws and only supplies humanitarian aide? This is NOT Iraq or Afghanistan. The people will decide their own future.
What will the Epstein class Israel First warmongers do when our Christian teenage military members start coming back home in body bags? They won’t shed a tear because the Epstein class Israel First doesn’t actually have any relatives or children in the US military and they never served in the US military either. They’re the worst cowardly hypocrites because they send off those they despise to go fight for them.
What does Epstein, or Zionists, have to do with a war to stop the crazy Iranian dictatorship from building a nuclear bomb? Trump has been very clear that he will not allow them to do that. They refused to give up their nuclear program and ballistic missiles so, Trump is removing that capability for them. The leadership has also proclaimed Death to America and the total destruction of Israel countless times. So what would you have us do instead of taking out the dangerous Iranian leadership?
The Epstein class of Mossad Zionists pedos blackmailed Trump to attack Iran so as to benefit Israel and at the detriment to America. Iran was zero threat to the US; with or without nukes. This is about sending young Christian military members to be sacrificed at the altar of Zionist Jews. Now I have replied to you politely and fully. We can agree to disagree.
Actually it was Israel that repeatedly and deliberately attacked thr USS-Liberty and killed dozens of US sailors. I resent both Iran and Israel for their attacks on US military; especially because four of my brothers and I served active duty US military. I want to see us not defending or attacking either Iran or Israel. They’re both evil.
"I want to see us not defending or attacking either Iran or Israel". That says it all. The world's foremost sponsor of terrorism, the one that killed almost three hundred Marines in Beirut, thousands of Americans through other terrorists strikes and 20,000 of their own people, the Islamic fanatics who want to get and use nukes . . . and you don't think we should attack them.
One incident, in 1967, vs. dozens or more since. Not that body counts should determine what is worse, but I think in this case it's obvious which is worse. Israel should be held accountable, on that we agree. But should the nation of Israel be destroyed and all the people wiped out? Would that be better for you?
Memo to Democrats: you ever watch Zero Dark Thirty? Was Congress notified? Was there a vote to approve? Who was the Commander In Chief in charge? I rest my case.
The righteousness of war is always a shade of gray. There have always been innocents lost in the cross-fire. Even America entering WW2, about as morally clearly justified as any war ever, offers moments of self doubt and sorrow for lives lost, including in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. But loss of life cannot be a principal barrier of freedom and justice. Sacrifice is always a carefully considered necessity for the greater good
This is the penultimate challenge for any remaining Democrats who still believe in the red, white and blue...who still possess just a modicum of patriotism in spite of their disregard for Trump and/or MAGA...to distance themselves from the woke left and #WalkAway.
Not to MAGA, but to BlueMAGA.
By now most learned people know of Dr. Jonathan Haidt's groundbreaking science on what divides conservatives/libertarians vs. progressives/liberals.
It's science that has proven that left wing people draw their morality from the prism of "Fairness" and "Ending Oppression"
When the USA and Israel eradicated Hamas from Gaza, we were literally freeing the oppressed Gazan people from their oppressors to create a fair future for Palestinians, yet the lefts hatred for Israel and Trump caused them to abandon one of their key tenets of morality tied to ending oppression.
Same in Venezuela, now in Iran where We the People are using our moral authority and moral power as a nation to free oppressed people across Iran.....and Iranians by and large are exuberant about the possibilities that like ahead and sober about the hard work that entails.
In this 250th anniversary of We the People ending the oppressive Brits rule on America...this is our gift to the Iranian People, the Palestinian People and the Venezuelan People; a gift for fairness, freedom and ending oppression that no human being on earth should tolerate; let alone sanction as the modern Democrat party is wont to do.
Summarize: leftists only like/support their very special type of oppression/suppression/social political pogroms. Apparently their cancer riddled souls employ the same Nazi justification amorality as Hitler, et al. Like fake Libertarian posting. You know, I am doing the universe a favor by murdering Jews, Catholics, Mormons, blacks, homosexuals, disabled. True Libertarian values in their minds, right L?
Democrats are consistently on the wrong side of every issue and on the wrong side of history. I no longer even try to talk to them. Once they say they are a Democrat, I realize they mean they are a fascist and I walk away.
Don't like Endless Wars. Military actions become endless when they drag on beyond reason. Trump so far hasn't done that. Bush did-twice. He got convinced that there would be chaos if we pulled out after accomplishing out goal. So we embarked on the futility of nation building. Speaking for myself, that was when I turned against those wars
and Bush. One can hope that Iranians finish the job of eliminating the regime and settle down. If there is to be chaos, there will be whether we are there or not. Iranians will decide that.
There was also the fact that Saddam was keeping the extreme Islamist factions at bay (albeit in very cruel and inhumane ways and practicing this same cruelty on his people who merely opposed his rule and were not hard core Islamist's). I was against those wars from the beginning, even Afghanistan, and I will be against any occupation of any sort in Iran. So far, that isn't happening and Iran is not Iraq in any sense. We shall see, but I'm cautiously optimistic this time. Hopefully Trump doesn't make the mistakes Bush made, and so far doesn't seem to be making them. We shall see.
I'm so grateful to be on team America with people like you. I am conservative and to me that means conserving what is good, true, and beautiful. And it means loving this nation and doing everything in our power to preserve it as founded, a Constitution that is nearly flawless. With all of its errors and corruption, America is still the best hope of the world. We owe it to our children, to ourselves, and to God to love it and fight for it and always be thankful for it. Thank you for your beautiful example!
Pshew, it all needed saying just as you said it ... A religious monster has been terminated, sadly too late, especially after the slaughter of dozens of thousands of Iranians striving for their freedom ... For many who love our innate desire for individual freedom, the most universal of all our attributes, the elimination of one of the most evil religious tyrants the world has seen is hopefully a warning to others who also seek to suppress freedom, that which is essential for the celebration of Life ... Persia may yet rise again and it's past magnificent culture blossom again ... Albeit on the enormous sacrifices of genuine martyrs, women who sought to be free to choose how they wished to live, the men who perished along with them whilst the Western Left and the Global South stayed silent as madmen slaughtered them ...
Well said Sasha. It's all pretty simple though. If it's good for the USA, it's bad for the Demoncat Party.

You’re aN idiot and a propagandist. The only question is are you a paid enemy agent or just really really ignorant in your stupidity
...think the niqab is slipping on this one?
Your Epstein class slip is showing.
... muhuh ... condolences on your recent loss ...
Congrats on distracting from your Jewish Epstein Zionist Israeli culture of pedophilia.
You have a problem with Epstein? After all the photos of successful men with hot busty and obviously fertile young women draped over his arms, I don't know a young man who now does not want to be him.
I know a lot of others here admire Epstein for his Mossad Israeli Jews Zionists connections and child sex trafficking convictions; but I do not.
Silly comment. Why would an observant Jew or faithful Christian HUSBAND want a pop tart on his arm? Have you ever read the Proverbs of Solomon? And yes, Solomon failed and was a destructive and horrible example for marriage.
We only have eyes and hearts and love for our wives and NO other woman. Why? Genesis 2:24. Look it up sir. If you please to.
Your lack of critical thinking skills is showing.
I’m a Catholic US military veteran. Four of my brothers are also. What a regret it is having defended America so warmongering Israel Firsters like you felt safe while you slaughtered children in Gaza and raped them on Epstein Zionist island.
Then hie thee to the VA and get some mental help- stat.
Fuck you, you ungrateful pos, for saying this to those who have put their lives on the line to help the USA stay the free country 1st!
You are an EXPOSED, Isreal 1st, America 2nd ZIONIST.
Let’s see, you’re a bot? A Chinese payee? Love terrorists and terrorism? We know you’re foul mouthed, if you're a real person do you kiss any loved ones with that mouth? We know you’re a Jew hater and apparently the hater of America as well? Vote democrat?
BTW,
What was your MOS?
Thank you for your service sir. I mean that sincerely.
You're entitled to your opinion, but your service and your Catholic faith doesn't make you right.
Thanks and I completely agree.
Not so sure Catholicism requires Jew hating anymore. At least it doesn’t in my parish.
You claim to be Catholic. I’m guessing you support abortion? Just projection the “package” of political views that you most likely hold, based on the nonsense you’ve shared with us.
Your question doesn’t make sense because Catholic doctrine is to oppose abortion. I oppose abortion. And now, don’t be rude again or I will block you.
🤣go ahead and block me, I’d welcome it. Don’t need your ignorance and hate polluting my feed.
You are a bot. Not t a smart one either.
It's just come out that an IRGC missile hit that school. If you had any Iranian friends, you would have a very different view of their current liberation from utter hell.
Unwoke, Libertarian is a Catholic, as am I. Sometimes the Body of Christ doesn’t agree on every issue and that’s okay.
As well as I. And if one’s Catholicism involves Jew hatred, it’s not a very good Catholicism.
Well, peace be with you. Let’s remember on this 2nd Sunday of Lent the transfiguration and where we are headed in this season 👍🏼
Why are you all so obsessed with Epstein now and not 4 years ago when Biden was president if there was anything bad about Trump in there you can bet the democrats would have had it plastered everywhere just like they did about everything else they tried to get him on which didn’t really work out for you all did it
Trump says there will be American casualties in this war and we need to accept that. There already have been 3 killed and they died for Israel, not America. Shame on you for being too dense to see that.
Really? Our soldiers Died for Israel. Oh my. So I guess Iran calls us the great satan because they hate Jews. As do you. And they bombed the barracks in Lebanon because Israel. And they took over the Achilles Laurel and killed Americans because Israel. And they took our embassy workers in 1979 because Israel. And they developed and used IEDs against Americans because Israel. And they captured and tortured the CIA guy because Israel.
It’s always the Joooos with you people isn’t it.
So silly Seva. Look at history sir. Please wind back to the Battle of Yarmouk in Syria in 636 anno domini , and then say something.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_the_Yarmuk
The primary enemy of the Christian West is ISLAM and
Satan, not our Jewish cousins. And also the 2nd most evil enemy, the World Economic Forum, based in Germany by the neo Nazi Klaus Schwab, and his Davos empire. Including many American CEO’s and government officials.
So a nation with a steady stream of foreign exchange cash that installs billboards with "Death to America" themes, is busy enriching uranium and is busy building ever-longer range missiles shouldn't be a concern?
Not nearly as big a concern as a state that committed genocide in 2025 by slaughtering over 100,000 Palestinian women and children in Gaza, and who uses a culture of pedophile sex trafficking to enrich its Israeli Zionist Epstein network. And that attacked our US Navy ship, the USS-Liberty. Thanks for asking politely, Crankie Frankie.
Somehow the government chosen in the one and only election in Gaza managed to take miles of picturesque Mediterranean beaches and turn them into squalor requiring billions from the west to survive. Instead of every Gazan being hotel rich, they live on pallets of rice from Texas. Along the way, women are treated as chattel and gays are thrown from rooftops. Sugar and fertilizer sent from the West as aid get melted together to fuel solid propellant rockets, some of which fall on friendlies.
Even without the October 7 rape and slaughter festival of the unarmed, that crew needed killing. Interestingly, recent PR releases from Hamas have made clear that the vast majority of the dead are Hamas gang members.
Your faux concern is pathetic. Not a single soldier has died. You're not fooling anyone
At least three American service members killed, 5 others seriously wounded, in the first 24 hours of the new war. I prayJesus brings them to His side.
They died in service to the Iranian people and to avenge the thousands of american soldiers killed by the Iranian theocrats
And to defend the USA. Should Iranian theocracy obtained nuclear weapons the threat to the USA would very likely been carried out by those calling for the "Death to the Great Satan, US"
Absolutely agree
Correction, 8 heroes serving to defend the USA. Allowing Iran to become a nuclear threat to Israel, the Middle East, Europe and eventually the USA is the reason for this conflict. Deeply sorry for the loss of life and those injured but their service is in defense of the nation. Like yourself and I, they signed up to ensure our freedoms.
You've posted some fine commentary over the years on this site, Libertarian. You might want to rethink this one, though.
Thanks, Paul. I have just reread what I wrote. I think all three sentences are accurate and truthful. I will be happy and thankful if the results are a quick and just peace. I will be heartbroken if many people die or suffer, either through violence or subjection. I pray daily at Mass and rosary for a just peace. (Just war is a term in Catholic doctrine; we’re supposed to avoid unjust wars). Take care.
Hey, Libertarian. While we are on different sides regarding most of your commentary, I do share your hope that the war ends as soon as reasonably possible. Here's hoping that the Iranians can have a much better life than they had under the yoke of Radical Islam for some 47 years. Pax vobiscum, hombre!
Completely agree and praying hard for peace to both. Am really saddened to see a post from Glenn Greenwald about multiple US military deaths and casualties from this. If America weren’t so vested in funding and risking US casualties, I’d be less adamant about my opposition.
We’ve done nothing for 47 years until finally, a president who who sees clearly the danger, and weighs the risk and gets enough countries with him to end the terror regime to liberate the Persian people does what all of us know has to be done. And he heard the cries for help from the people. He’s not interested in installing a puppet, he’s leaving it up to the people who justifiably want their freedom. God willing, they’ve learned what they don’t want! Plus, he stopped a preemptive strike planned for this weekend where our soldiers surely would’ve perished!
Real Christians understand that both observant Jews and faithful Christians are grafted into the root of Abraham, Father of many nations. Epstein and his fello evil travelers of all sorts will face King Jesus at the great white throne of justice on the Day of the Lord, the 2nd Advent. I understand that it is very hot 🔥 where they go to, separated from all humans and God Almighty for eternity.
Never take advice from someone so oblivious that the difference between 'alter' and 'altar' has escaped him.
Not a single U.S. soldier has died in this conflict nor, to my knowledge, a single schoolchild. Get in touch with reality. Edit: Turns out Iranian schoolchildren DID die . . . when one of Iran's own missiles hit one of their schools!
At least three American service members killed, 5 others seriously wounded, in the first 24 hours of the new war. I pray to Jesus that He brings them home.
Try to be less hostile to people you don’t agree with, Adam Mitchell.
Source? And I'm a Catholic as well; you're going very much against our faith by being such a Jew hater and Muslim supporter.
I am not a Jew hater or Muslim supporter. Stop with the name calling or the conversation is over. Israel killed over 100,000 women and children last year and the pope condemned it. I go to Mass and rosary daily and pray for peace there. I’m a U.S. military veteran too so please don’t pull the you’re naive to war card either.
(?) A military veteran should grasp the difference between Israel's going after military targets, and their enemy's indiscriminate targeting of civilians. It's not enough just to cite casualty lists. In WWII the western powers eventually managed to inflict more casualties on the Germans than they suffered themselves. It doesn't follow from this that Hitler and his henchmen were the good guys.
Still waiting for that source on U.S. casualties and killed Iranian schoolchildren!
Pointing out the facts is not name calling. Yes, the Pharisees went to Mass daily too. Perhaps it would be better to purge the hate from your heart, perhaps by talking to a priest.
There can be no peace in the Middle East when the mass-murdering Islamic fanatics are in charge of Iran, or when the Palestinians continue their terrorism. One who wants peace should support the decapitation strikes against Iran.
I believe the source is a US military announcement.
“We’re killing our own soldiers” Are you living in an alternate reality? Or in a box clutching your emotional support blankie? I think both. We haven’t sacrificed a single soldier, you absolute imbecile. “ziOniSts!” “Israel Israel Israel!” God you people have gone so far overboard making everything about them that you have lost everyone. Nobody listens to you anymore. You’re insufferable, traitorous, unAmerican deceivers, and we ALL see you now.
It's remarkable how people here don't see it. Like they're cosigning themselves into more debt, higher gas prices, and the real threat of nuclear armed conflict. All so The Greater Isreal Project can take shape? Look, if Isreal wants to go do this, please do. Just stop asking for American taxpayers to foot the bill, especially when our roads are crumbling, our jobs are being sent to East Asia, and the quality of life is deteriorating into nihilist tendencies. You wanna help Isreal go fight their their Holy War, go get dual citizenship and go fight/die for them.
While I'm in "wait and see" mode on this event, I do agree it seems positive for the region and the world overall. Islamic regimes are not peaceable people. However, let's be clear, Ben Shapiro and his like only support this because it's good for Israel. While this may have been necessary, I would rather we stay out of decade-plus-old ethnic Middle-eastern blood feuds.
Megyn Kelly has become disgusted with Israel and with our leaders who follow them wherever they demand we go. Both videos are quite damning of the always pro-Israel mentality. At the end of the 11 min video the last comment is from Megyn who says “ We’ve done enough for Israel!” We’ve actually done far too much for them and have severely damaged ourselves by doing so.

Welcome back, Seva. Btw Sasha’s subscriber base has changed to become mostly Israel First warmongers who never served in the US military like you, Matt, me and a very few others. They can’t tolerate journalists that used to be popular here like Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly; because those journalists present objective and insightful criticism of Israel. A mortal sin in the land of fanatic Zionism.
They’ve been Israel First all along and I’ve often argued with them to no avail. It is significant though that someone like Megyn Kelly who was so pro-Israel since Oct 7 has now turned against them and agrees with Tucker that our support for their endless warmongering, genocide and ethnic cleansing is insane and must not continue. Megyn has a lot of followers and is very influential.
Btw. poll;
“In the Reuters/Ipsos survey, some 27% of respondents said they approved of the strikes, while a majority said they were either unsure about them (29%) or said they disapproved (43%).”

I agree with you totally. This group won't like it because they have the opposite of TDS. Another version of mass formation psychosis. Don't question the group!
Do you not remember the terrorism that Iran funded against Americans for decades?
I also remember Israel’s deliberate attack on the USS-Liberty, the overwhelming Jewish leadership of the Bolsheviks killing millions of Christians, the dancing Israelis of 9/11, Jack Rubenstein’s involvement of JFK’s assassination, the Epstein files and finally the Jews who drove the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Iran did nothing to Christians compared to that.
You Nick Fuentes wannabes and Tucker Carlson types are not welcome in the right wing. You are not MAGA. Go vote with your fellow America and Jew haters on the Left. Ilhan Omar is your new buddy.
Dude, get mental health help. I’m serious
I go to Mass and Rosary every day. I’m well educated, had an excellent career as an exec in Fortune 50, still see friends from grade school and numerous trips overseas. Four of my brothers and I served active duty US military. I’m well grounded. Perhaps it is you who should educate yourself, serve active duty US military (they’re desperate now for recruits), and get help. I’m serious.

So many in my family and neighborhood served in the US military and it’s no honor for us to more fully realize it was not about defending America but instead enriching Zionists who call us goy trash. Thanks for the link, Glenda.
Sure. Believe Iranian propaganda,
Our targets are military.
Their targets are civilians.
Why would they not targets their own school to create martyrs when they killed 10s of thousands of their own youth?
You forget to note the 100,000 women and children Israel killed in Gaza in 2025, or the 300,000 they wounded, or the 1 million they made homeless. Israel Zionists Epstein’s are the modern Nazis.
The number of people killed given out by Hamas is highly suspect as they are skilled propagandists who lie about everything.
If Hamas had not air dropped murderers into Israel no war would have been brought to Gaza.
The number of people killed given out by Zionists is highly suspect as they are skilled propagandists who lie about everything.
If Israel had not air dropped murderers into Palestine no war would have been brought to Israel.
Guess you forgot how the Shah we installed after removing their democratically elected government killed thousands of protestors before he was replaced by this uniquely evil regime. "We're Americans, we don't need no stinkin' history lessons!"
I’m so sure that the Iranian populace is so fixated on what happened in 1953 that they therefore adore the psychotic Islamist mullahs.
What about when George Washington took out King George and removed the democratically elected Brits from lording over their colonies?
What about it?

Not quite. The conquered people of England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland were never citizens. They were and still are subjects to the British Crown. Subjects, not citizens. They are ruled by pedos like prince Andrew and the idiot savant Charles III, who despises English girls and favors Muslims, the global warming scams, and hates bad architecture . No love whatsoever of the English peoples.
Washington also said to the Americans to not engage with unending European wars. Ukraine is none of our business . Our useless nato partners who prefer Muslims to Christians. Allahoop Snakbar boys. Bend over. Your pasha demands to emasculate you now. Or your ayatollah, the next one. The Caliph of Paris or London. Or both together.
Let’s get into this. A western nation with a democratically elected government that, for its time, was pretty competent, was attacked by Britain!! That poor Mr Hitler.
Have you ever heard of the Anglo Persian Oil Company? Look it up.
Have you ever heard of Baku, Azerbaijan ? Stalin blocked Hitler there from a primary source of oil. Hitler made diesel fuel from coal instead. Then Hitler launched Barbarossa , the assault on Russia, the same incredibly stupid repeat that Napoleon did. Cold kills everything including people and tanks. Global warming makes the plants, jungles, and crops grow faster. Go figure…. Which is better for human beings?
The shah didn’t get installed. He was the rightful heir to the throne.
You can blame the British and Soviets for deposing his father, but then you would also have to blame them for Iran having a democratic government in the first place.
Might want to brush up on your Iranian history before you start making ignorant comments about Americans not knowing history.
I am so tired of people who cherry pick history to support their point of view while conveniently ignoring the rest. What's worse is how many people fall for it.
Yes, President Carter made a mistake, and President Trump corrected it. USA, USA, USA!
So are you saying we just removed Iran’s “democratically elected government” again? Does your comparison perhaps fall apart right there? 🤔
Tao O F didn’t mention the Shah.
"forgot how the Shah we installed after removing their democratically elected government "
Not quite: the Shah was in power since 1941. In 1953 he appointed a new Prime Minister, Mohammed Mossadegh, a senior prince from the previous Qajjar dynasty and shortly after Mossadegh called an election... stopping the vote count as soon as it showed him ahead.
After being deposed by the Shah, Mossadegh retired to his opulent country estate in Ahmedabad.
By getting rid of Mossadegh and his mix of clerical and communist allies, the Shah was free to begin his White Revolution, which emancipated Iranian women and gave them the right to vote, That last item infuriated an obscure cleric in Qom, Ruhollah Khomeini, who began agitating against the Shah.
Full details in the masterful book by Ali Ansari "Modern Iran since 1797",
PS Isn't history more interesting when you don't invent your own facts?
The Shah was installed in 1941
By the British and Soviets who removed his father for suspected pro-Hitler sentiments. Iran was the major route for Lend Lease for the Soviets. He appointed Mosedeq (sp?) but probably was involved in the mostly bloodless coup by CIA and MI6 that removed him. The real trouble started with the White Revolution which featured land reform, equal rights for women, education and removing special privileges for clergy. BTW, Jews and Persians were friendly for 2500 years prior to 1979.
Khomenei translated Muslim Brotherhood writings into Persian. The whole regime is based on Muslim Brotherhood.
When the Muslim Brotherhood community organized a sit in at Tahriri Square, Darth Traitor threw a 30-year ally under the bus.
When al Qaeda attacked Gaddafy, who had made nice with the US and Europe, Darth Traitor funded them, betrayed Gaddafy and cheered when he was murdered.
But when the Green Movement took to the streets to protest the elections in Iran, Crickets.
He always always always sided with the Islamists and the Muslim Brotherhood, whether they were protesting or protested.
I
Gaddafy’s most important statement to the now mostly pagan west, with exceptions in the USA and some countries in Eastern Europe, was that Islam will conquer Europe with the wombs of muslim women. This is the Green Velvet Glove of the Saudis and the gulf states who shower the western universities and streets and corporations and politicians with the fake ideals of “peaceful Islam” with 10’s of $Billions of dollars in bribes to open up the stupidly of our pagan neighbors next door in our small or large towns. The Muslim brotherhood is Sunni. Born from the ashes of the destruction of the ottoman caliphate after WW1, and born in Egypt ten years later. The Saudis hope that Trump will destroy the Shiites. And then allow themselves to complete the conquering of Europe peacefully. Allahoop snakbar. Ladies… get your discounted burquas at Goodman Bergdorf in NYC or Harrods in London while you are able to. Sharia law is coming.
YHWH punished Israel and Judea with the Assyrians, Babylonians , and the Persians , and Greeks, and the Romans. Now YHWH will punish the west with the Mohammedans. Get ready. Pure and true Christianity is your only defense.
The really Good news is that King Jesus is YHWH, God Almighty, and He will bring His church home to the new earth safely for eternity. Islam is a branch of satanism headed to the lake of Fire for eternity. 🔥
He was Shia and MB was Sunni so they were heretics to each other.
that doesnt change the fact that Khomeni translated Muslim Brotherhood writings into Persian
i just learned that myself a month or so ago
And the Shah was a picnic compared to Carter's installation of Ayatollah Khomeni.
There’s lots of mangled history on this thread, but the idea that Carter installed Khamenei or Khomeini takes the cake
Well, installation is perhaps too strong a word, but yes, he helped engineer the fall of Iran's government and the takeover of Ayatollah Khomeni. Search it.
But if you give people enough history lessons and they end up sheep right Herr Schulz? Easy to always sit on the sidelines criticizing.
Was Iran far better off under the Shah? Or under the Mullahs?
Bro you got major anger issues. Stop idolizing Adolf Hitler.
Why yes, I’m sure the Iranians will REALLY love us, after we bombed an 87 year old man, his wife and little grand daughter.
Especially since Israel killed 150 kids in a girls school right after.
WTF are some of you people smoking.
I love you Sasha for your honesty, courage and forthrightness. I have to think this action by Trump against the Iranian regime will cause significant red pilling, as they see their icons on the Left .. the AOC’s and the Zohrans of this world.. not give one shit for the 32,000 murdered protesters but then get all weepy eyed and outraged that one of the world’s most evil regimes is being taken out. The lines get more clearly drawn every day between the decent and the indecent do they not?
Exactly!
The left didn’t give a shit about all the innocent Israeli babies who suffered in the Hamas attack. They didn’t give a shit about the young women savagely raped by Hamas
They are blind to evil and call good things evil. How did they get so twisted?
No Rooster; I get heartbroken when I see my fellow Christian US military members get sacrificed at the alter of Epstein Zionists. We aren’t liberating Iran! That’s a bad joke. We’re killing our own soldiers and innocent schoolchildren so Israel can control Gaza and Iran territory.
Funny, the Iranian people seem jubilant about it. Has it escaped your notice that in January, the mullahs murdered 32,000 protestors? You should seek out the photos of some of these people. Most of them were young, and heartbreaking, many of the women beautiful in a way which haunts a normal man.
The” Iranian people? What percentage of the Iranian people? Be precise
Last month, an estimated 32,000 of them risked death, and lost, to protest the regime. To me that's a telling referendum. It's plain that the Iranian people despise the ayatollahs.
I thought the reactions over the weekend in the rest of the world were telling: there were nothing like the millions of useful idiots who have marched for poor Hamas victims of Israeli genocide in Gaza. ( Yes, I am being sarcastic. ) There were some half hearted attempts to hold the coalition of young Androids together to protest the attack on Iran, but they were remarkably unsuccessful because if they hadn't been, the Trump hating traditional media would have made sure we knew about it.
Instead, every demonstration I saw consisted of people I would love to know, most of them jubilant, many of them young, delight in their countenances, as prosocial as the demonstrators for Hamas are antisocial.
If you want what I consider the best, because the most personally driven, coverage of what's going on in Iran and how the Iranian people really view the mullahs, go to TousiTV on YouTube. Mahyar Tousi is an Iranian refugee in his thirties, now in London. As Tousi says at the end of his videos, "We are the media." And indeed, he is.
Well, we found the Russian bot.
You might have a point if Iranian religious fanatics had not killed tens of thousands of Israelis and Americans in the last half century.
". . . the alter (sic) of Epstein Zionists?" What are you ON ABOUT? Could you be more ridiculous?
That Jews are modern Nazis because Jews committed genocide in Gaza in 2025 is not my fault. The Zionist Epstein’s Israeli Jews are guilty of having committed a genocide. It’s part of history now and the world knows it.
I am a Catholic US military veteran who goes to Mass and Rosary every day and I am being truthful.
After October 7th, the Jews had license to do whatever necessary. 70% of Palestinians supported that atrocity by Hamas degenerates. Anything that happened in Gaza after that was morally and ethically acceptable.
Hamas is nothing more than a continuation of Hitler's program to exterminate Jews. It's no secret that the leader of the Palestinians in the 1940s, the Grand Mufti al Husseini, was living in Germany, met with Hitler and begged him for assistance in exterminating Jews in Israel. Hitler was too busy in Russia to help, but he would have gladly done it if he could.
Your understanding of history in this matter is woefully lacking. The Jews have been fighting defensive wars of survival since 1948 when they were invaded by five Arab countries. The same thing happened in 1967 and 1973. Since that time Palestinian terrorism characterized by suicide bombers who target children among other crimes have afflicted Jews and their children.
Wake up. You are dupe for Jew-haters around the world. The idea that you are a libertarian is laughable.
I’m glad we agree that Jews committed genocide in Gaza in 2025 and that it is now part of their history like the millions of Christians they murdered in the Bolshevik revolution. Some tribe…
Exterminating rats in tunnels is not genocide. It's vermin eradication.
Again, you have a bizarre view of history. Yes, there were Jews among the Bolsheviks, but the vast majority of them came from Christian backgrounds.
Here's some history to help you overcome your stone-cold ignorance: From Grok:
\\Based on Bolshevik Party censuses and analyses:
Pre-1917 Revolution (early 1917): The party had approximately 23,000–24,000 members, of whom about 364 (1.6%) were ethnic Jews.
1922 Party Census: Out of roughly 375,000 total members, 19,564 (5.21%) were ethnic Jews.//
In other words, in 1922 the percentage of Jews in the Bolshevik Communist Party was roughly equal to their percentage in the population of Russia as a whole. You, my friend, are an anti-Semite of the most odious kind.
Wanting less government is not anti-Christian and indeed separation of church and state is a core principle of America.
And the only money i ship to that area is to Israel in the form of tens of billions from US taxpayers. Stop being a Zionist Epstein apologist.
Your inclusion of “Epstein” repeatedly in all your rants is your “tell” that you’re not only unhinged with irrational rage but that you’re nothing but a juvenile name -caller. Zero substance. But, of course, that’s why you’re a solid, loyal Democrat.
I was thinking the same thing. “Zionists” and “Epstein” is all this person can see no matter what they are looking at. Surest sign of falling to the brainwashing of those that want just that.
The only name missing is Tucker.
Yea I missed the memo to drop that name when we bombed Iran on behalf of the intel agency he worked for. My bad. Mums the word for the epsteinazis from here out. Promise no more tells!
Only an idiot could put the words "Epstein" and "Zionist" together and think he is saying something rational.
Sorry; you’ve gotten too vulgar and weird to reply to. Don’t bother reading my stuff, Cooper Raymond.
Apologies for vulgarity, but have you read what you've posted here since early this morning?
I'm not a big one for pacifists trying to use alleged military service or Catholicism as a ladder for you to use to gain moral high ground.
I get it..you hate war.
I get it..you hate Epstein (so do all of us).
I get it..you hate Israel and Jews.
I get it..you hate America.
Have you tried talking to your priest about this angst you carry with you?
I must have missed the bat signal that told democrats being on the same side as Putin was OK
They don't believe in any higher power than themselves
Indeed they do!!
I don’t see it. I’d be willing to bet that somewhere in excess of 90% of Democrats who will leave the party have already done so.
My experience with virtually everyone in my family, my friends, and coworkers, is that they are getting crazier. They are less willing to consider any alternative to their fanatical religious beliefs.
I keep telling them I won’t discuss politics, but everything is politics (religion) to them.
I somehow kept myself from telling my best friend of 37 years that I didn’t want to see him again after a completely unhinged rant aimed at me just a few days ago. It was so bad, so disconnected from reality, I couldn’t even think straight. I managed to just say we needed a break from each other, paid my bill, told him I’d call him sometime next month, and walked out, but I wanted to tell him I was done with him.
This goes on and on in so many aspects of my life. I’m normally one for contentious debate, but we are living in two different worlds now. They exist in an imaginary land they create for each other. They are burning with hatred, and it thrills them. It gives them meaning.
I think those that were going to get out were out by Election Day 2024.
Thankfully I haven’t had your experience with a friend, but I have a sister who’s an unhinged Dem. She falls for all of their crazy BS. It’s like you can see it in their eyes, a swirling whirligig packed with all of the anti-reality ideas they hold and march for. Trump is right, they’re all crazy people. Plus, I think they’re all very low intellect and thus not worth arguing with bc for them, it’s all emotion all the time & logic isn’t in play, ever.
I don't know that they're low intellect so much as vulnerable to the positive feedback loops they become addicted to from fellow travelers in their social circles; getting dopamine bumps every time they post something derogatory towards the "out group."
Noah Rothman wrote a great book about this called "The New Puritans."
You're either with them...or you're against them. No middle ground and litmus tests at every step of the way...just like a cult.
💯they’re a cult. For sure virtue signaling is their daily bread & they strive for more dopamine hits. But, I don’t know any genuinely smart people who believe this BS. It’s all the leftover crap ideas from Obama (not a smart dude) wrapped up in self-congratulatory social media posts. They’re the Dumb Cult.
Obama is the poster child for intelligent people who continue to do stupid things. :)
I know very intelligent people who are blinded to the truth. Sometimes it's Joe Mechanic who sees through the Left BS better than Judy Phd.
Agree with you that Obama is not smart. Eric Holder was the brains behind his rise to power.
Yes. I noticed during the covid opp and even a couple years before that my liberal friends were becoming fully obsessed with Trump and my moderate left views suddenly were becoming far right in their minds. I couldn't understand it, but we all seem to live in echo chambers now, even those on the right. I find this all very disturbing, but more so on the left where the ability to even consider counter arguments has disappeared. There are people like that on the right, as there always have been, but most of the conservatives I've talked to seem quite reasonable even if there are things we can't agree on. They haven't lost their minds, in other words. I can't call myself conservative, but at least I haven't lost my mind over Trump and while I do not like him at all (to be fair, I can't really think of a President in my lifetime that I actually liked), I do like a number of his policies and felt that a re-balancing was in order. Which drove a lot of Dems off the edge, the idea that anyone could possibly not agree with everything they want.
J.K. Rowling found that out the hard way. She agrees with 99% of the Left's political positions, but that single area of disagreement made her a hated heretic on the Left.
Many on the left are very smart, what they lack, is wisdom. As we know, intelligence without wisdom, is dangerous at best. They refuse to humble themselves to the Truth (Jesus), whom alone bestows true, lasting wisdom.
You are totally brainwashed, even adopting Trump's practice of calling anyone who disagrees with him "low IQ" and a lot of other drivel.
Hahahaha, she returns!! NWCitizen and her leftist woke takes. I’m not brainwashed but I certainly have my own opinions. You have severe TDS and are a protesting member of “The Resistance,” and I know your type very well. I’m sure you’ve marched in every pet protest of the Left—climate? Palestine? BLM? No Kings? Are you marching in support of the Ayatollah and Mullahs bc it was Trump who bombed Iran, the murderous blood-thirsty thugs of the ME? Oh and God Forbid he acted with Israel, right?
Wow, you know all about me even though I am a total stranger! You forgot the part where I am living in the basement of my 110 year old parents...
You nailed it. To leftists, politics IS their religion, the concept of all-powerful government their god, and their paradise a capitalism-free utopia in a totalitarian state. That's why it's so hard to reason with them; as a wise man once said, "You can't reason a man out of a position he didn't reason himself into."
I feel the same way.
One reason those who remain will never change course at this point is because their lives and lifestyles absolutely depend on it. For the trans community, the Trump administration is an existential crisis. They’d support Iran level dictatorial oppression and outright murder of hundreds of thousands/millions of necessary, to protect their own freedom to push their lifestyle down our throats and rip kids out from under their parents’ influence. The others that aren’t trans are in two camps: 1) they financially benefit under the democrat governance, fraud, and 2) they have been so fully brainwashed and indoctrinated at the higher academic levels and their entire identity of importance relies on everything they learned remaining true.
I think there is hope for the senior citizens who were brainwashed but don’t have liberal family. Those with liberal support systems in their life are never going to wake up.
You are correct. And the Republicans, if they want to win any elections, better take that to heart. Ballot harvests are created to guarantee Dem wins. I am a former Dem and will never vote in a Republican primary, but the Dems are beyond help. Watching them at the SOTU was unbelievable. They hate Trump, but they hate everybody not them, too.
Susan Rice video. What more do people need.
whats left of the democrat party does not want peace or reconciliation with the rest of the country. they want to sieze power and wield it to cause punishment, misery, abuse. they do not provide an option of peace except total surrender to their crazy ideology. people need to wake up. it will be us or them. they will never stop. get it into your heads.
They’re casualties of a media psy op; there’s no other reasonable explanation. The symptoms are almost universal. I recognize my own friends and family members in these descriptions. It’s sad and scary.
Flashbacks to Jonestown and the Kool-aid mass suicide. Very disturbing.
All that needs to be said about the Tuckers and the MTGs of the world is that they're not worried that these attacks may fail but that they will succeed. It's pretty hard to call yourself America First when you are openly rooting for America to fail.
I don't know what will happen next. Things could go wrong in any number of ways, but there is a chance we are witnessing the beginning of a new era in the Middle East where we might actually see relative peace. I hope the Iranian people can seize this moment, not only for their own sake but for the sake of the world.
Yes truly amazing time full of promise for the people there if they do their part. Prayers for Trump and our leaders to navigate this with wisdom and clarity.
Defanging the Ayatollah's puppet in Martha's Vineyard is America First
Also hard to call yourself America First when you warmonger for Israel first and always. Go figure.
One single lone democracy in the Middle East and you hate that.
It sticks in your craw...doesn't it?
Need some cheese with that whine, little proggy? Best be finding a deep hole to crawl into. Or emigrate. We're just getting started and there's not a damn thing you little anti-American pukes can do about it. MAGA FOREVER!!!
The “Ep” in Epic Fury is apparently for your Zionist friend EPstein. Go figure. Not inferring anything, John; so no need to get defensive about supporting his benefactors in Israel.
And I am a pro-American US military veteran who is sick of Christian Americans being sacrificed for Israel. Remember the USS-Liberty that Israel deliberately attacked and killed US sailors.
Just magnificent tonight, Sasha!
We are also glad you saw the light, and left the cult!
God willing the evidence of REALITY will convince other Americans as well. While I was young during the Iran revolution of 1979, that evil regime and its terrorist tentacles has colored my entire adult life. Seeing it seemingly fatally wounded is lifting one of the anvils on our collective soul.
God willing the Iranians will be able to build a new path—hard work of course, and stumbles along the way. It will not likely look like America but again, with God’s help, it will work for its citizens.
Two bookends.
The first was 10/7/23. Result was neutering of Hamas & Hezbollah. Yesterday attack doesn’t happen without the proxies 1st sidelined. Those Iran insurance policies don’t get put out to pasture without 1st sneak-attacking Israel.
Second is that little happening yesterday that results in a 7-day holiday and 40 days of mourning in Iran.
Agreed on the necessity of defanging Iran’s proxies, and the air strikes in 2024 and 2025 were also critical to so far success in Iran. I have to admit though, that 10/7 was so dark that it weighed on me.
Last night…honestly, prompted optimism.
So, did Israel ‘allow’ 10/7 to occur in order to then initiate the brilliant retaliations? Like that pager sac-attack? I know it’s a repugnant thing to think Bibi would let this happen but consider where we’re at now. I remember Isreali leadership getting scorched at the time for not seeing 10/7 coming. Maybe they actually did?
Was 9/11 an inside job?
There is a theory that FDR knew about Pearl Harbor in advance and let it happen so he could have his war. It is pretty fact free since Japan wasn't the war he wanted and Germany would have been a heavy lift even after PH if Hitler hadn't been so stupid as to declare war on the US. Pearl Harbor got the same war warning that everyone else did but the military was fixated on their wrong theory of how the Japanese would attack.
The historical record suggests that theory is true. 3 things.
1. Japan had war plans to attack Pearl Harbor long before it occurred.
2. Churchill had long pestered FDR for America to formally enter WW2, but FDR resisted due the overwhelming anti-enter-another-European war sentiment among the majority of US citizens at the time.
3. USA/Britian announced a naval blockage of inbound oil shipments to Japan in the summer of 1941. Meaning the UK parking warships at the Malacca Strait. Japan was totally reliant on oil imports so this action was viewed as existential.
The theory then goes into conspiracy land when one wonders if the flattops were purposely out of harbor at time of attack. It’s not out of realm of possibility but no evidence that I’m aware of that this was anything other than happenstance (or maybe God’s Providence)
Prewar plans for both US and Japan visualized a decisive battle between battleships somewhere around the Philippines. What the Japanese needed to break the blockade were the Dutch oilfields and Malayan rubber and tin. Looking at the map, the Philippines were in the way. So the American military was obsessed with the Philippines. Yamamoto upset the plans of both sides. He had to threaten to resign to get the Japanese to go along and it was a strategic surprise to the Americans. Both American commanders at PH were cashiered for incompetence. This was reversed decades later based on the notion that everyone in the loop was subject to the same groupthink. So while everything you say is accurate, it was still a surprise for the Japanese to be so far east and for the carriers to be so effective. Shouldn't have been since the far less capable British carriers had done the same thing to the Italians the year before. Also in a war game back in the 30s, an American admiral playing the Japanese side had successfully attacked PH with his carriers. Never underestimate the power of groupthink.
Also; “Case Closed: The Gulf of Tonkin IncidentThe 1964 Gulf of Tonkin incident involved a real, minor engagement on August 2, followed by a non-existent "second attack" on August 4 that the NSA later admitted was based on distorted intelligence. This falsified report allowed the Johnson administration to push the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution through Congress, leading to major U.S. escalation in the Vietnam War.

Honestly, don’t know. I find it hard to believe that the Israeli leaders would condone that kind of slaughter. I have a similar take on 9/11. Conspiracies that only require wire tapping and lawfare, otoh, are quite credible to me (see Russia gate, FBI tapping congressional phones, dubbed iirc Arctic Frost, and recent revelations of Biden’s FBI tapping conversations between Susie Wiles and her lawyer. All despicable.).;
Israel goes the extra mile to retrieve hostages, or even just their bodies to the detriment of their own military efforts.
That seems contradictory to the idea of "Yeah, we'll let thousands of our people die in a surprise attack we could stop but we need a good justification for getting a war on the way."
I get heartbroken when I see my fellow Christian US military members get sacrificed at the alter of Epstein Zionists. We aren’t liberating Iran. We’re killing our own soldiers and innocent schoolchildren so Israel can control Gaza and Iran territory.
Beginning to think Libertarian is a bot who can just be ignored.
I’m not but happy for you to ignore me, Iscbydesign. I was kinda thinking that all the Zionist shills are bots also. What else explains their defense of a nation that slaughtered 100,000 women and children last year in Gaza?
Deeply disagreeing with you does not automatically make someone a “Zionist shill”. Your extremism is a sad sign of what you really are. There are MANY positions between both extremes and you refuse to respect them. You sound like you live in a padded room.
Like Goebbels, you just make things up. If you were a fantasy writer that would be swell. But you make up complete lies about matters in the actual world.
Do you know your Bible well enough to know that one of the Devil's primary means of working is through slander?
Like Hitler, you just make things up. If you were a fantasy writer that would be swell. But you make up complete lies about matters in the actual world.
Do you know your Bible well enough to know that one of the Devil's primary means of working is through slander?
30,000 protestors killed by the Iranian regime. I guess that didn't bother you. We'll see how all this plays out but Iran striking out at other Arab nations that were trying to negotiate peace with them say more to me than what you are saying (US bases in those countries were hit, I realize that, but those nations welcomed the US bases at the time).
It does bother me. Both Iran and Israel are evil. Did it bother you that Israel slaughtered over 100,000 innocent women and children in Gaza in 2025, Mike Gustine?
Of course.
You’re literally retarded
Well that escalated quickly, Teddy Sorensen.
War is hell. As a Christian we can all deplore the innocents killed.
Your conflation of Epstein and Zionists is not one that I concur with (acknowledging Epstein's close relationship with Baruk). Israel has a right to exist, and we are entitled to our own views of the country and its leadership. Anti-semitism is evil, flat out. If you are a Christian that is something you should pray about if your views are anti-semitic.
Not going to get into the back and forth re. Gaza, as I suspect it won’t be productive. I’ve been there and am well aware of the manipulative tactics of HAMAS and their press and UNHRW allies.
I am not anti-Semite. I am highly critical of Israeli and US actions because my faith, Catholic, compels me to oppose unjust wars and injustice. Both of which I believe Israel and my country (US) are now engaged in and pushing. And since you mentioned having been in Gaza, I can relate that I too have been in similar places as part of my U.S. military tour. Let’s both pray for a quick, just and lasting peace.
Yes prayer always in order.
Trump was 100% correct - democrats ARE crazy!
History will judge that.
I'm supportive of what was done, but who knows what tools the Regime still has remaining.
The fact Iran hit all their Arab neighbors too was the most telling of all actions the Iranians took for they just made this literally "them against the world (excluding Cuba, Russia and China)
Time will tell how this works out, but right now I"m praying for the Iranian people that their women and children can grow up in an environment where they can make decisions for themselves without an oppressive fascist tyrannical government lording over them each and every day.'
Democrats claim to want to end oppression?
Prove it!!
Thank you for this. Yesterday was amazing for the sane world, and the left in this country showed they will always and forever choose evil. We knew it, of course, from the transing of children, letting illegals r*pe and kill at will, and assassination culture that prevails with them. But if there was one thing that should have unified all Americans with the rest of the non-Islamist/jihadi/terrorist world, it should be this. It should be giving the Iranians life outside the evil they have lived under for nearly half a century. They couldn’t and apparently don’t even want to.
In my first real after-college job, I worked with a wonderful Persian gal. Her family had fled when the Shah fell, like so many. She would have me for dinner with her family and make wonderful Persian food and they’d tell stories of how it was before, and how many friends and family they lost to the Ayatollah regime. How many just disappeared, shot into mass graves. How women lost everything in a day - freedom, education, movement. I cried seeing the Iranians in the US celebrating and listening to women who had escaped telling their stories and giving updates on Instagram.
I guess there was a pretty crowded crossroads where the devil sat and met with all these people who are now inhuman…
We all cried tears of joy.
A lot of women in this country should be cut off from "education"
While I appreciate the spirit of this sentiment, the answer lies not in cutting women off from education (something an Iranian government would do,) but in fixing our education system and cutting out the monsters that sabotaged it.
Education has been dumbed down as to not intimidate liberal women. They are given degrees that are worthless just so that they can run around acting like they are superior just because they have a degree. Colleges have to make up degree fields so that they can graduate with something that will make them feel superior to others.
We need to tighten standatrds.
Calculus is a freshman level math class. Anyone who cannot handle freshman level calculus has no business being in college in the first place. /
If we would raise our standards, we can weed out a lot of these liberals before they ever get on campus in the first place.
That’s an over generalization. I was always pretty good at math until I took college level calculus (in my sophomore year). That was pretty hard!
That’s what I’m talking about 👍
This is a tough one for the liberal jew haters to comment on. They're best to keep quiet, lest they appear stupid trying to attack Jews for freeing Muslims from oppression .
Real Christians love our Jewish cousins. We are both grafted into the root of Abraham, the Father of many nations.
As a Jew, let me just say that you’re a moron.
I especially liked Kaizen’s analysis. He has a very compelling take. It’s well worth the read:
It’s not as simple as some are trying to paint it, and it’s not just about Israel. I don’t trust those trying to sell us that perspective.
Kaizen works really hard to be accurate with his information:
https://thatskaizen.substack.com/p/why-trump-struck-iran
Thanks for the link. I’ve seen that guy’s reels on my IG feed before, and he usually has good takes. The only thing I disagreed with in the article is him saying Russia interfered in our 2016 election. That’s been thoroughly debunked.
Hmmm I wasn’t sure if he was talking about the interference that Clinton actually allowed for herself or the interference they were accusing Trump of. We have enough evidence now that the latter was false and fabricated, but in uncovering that they found evidence of interference on her behalf, if I remember correctly.
Now I need to relisten to it again 🤣👍
What will the anti-war protestors do when the U.S. military withdraws and only supplies humanitarian aide? This is NOT Iraq or Afghanistan. The people will decide their own future.
What will the Epstein class Israel First warmongers do when our Christian teenage military members start coming back home in body bags? They won’t shed a tear because the Epstein class Israel First doesn’t actually have any relatives or children in the US military and they never served in the US military either. They’re the worst cowardly hypocrites because they send off those they despise to go fight for them.
What does Epstein, or Zionists, have to do with a war to stop the crazy Iranian dictatorship from building a nuclear bomb? Trump has been very clear that he will not allow them to do that. They refused to give up their nuclear program and ballistic missiles so, Trump is removing that capability for them. The leadership has also proclaimed Death to America and the total destruction of Israel countless times. So what would you have us do instead of taking out the dangerous Iranian leadership?
The Epstein class of Mossad Zionists pedos blackmailed Trump to attack Iran so as to benefit Israel and at the detriment to America. Iran was zero threat to the US; with or without nukes. This is about sending young Christian military members to be sacrificed at the altar of Zionist Jews. Now I have replied to you politely and fully. We can agree to disagree.
I guess Iran financing terror attacks that killed US service members doesn't bother you in the least.
Actually it was Israel that repeatedly and deliberately attacked thr USS-Liberty and killed dozens of US sailors. I resent both Iran and Israel for their attacks on US military; especially because four of my brothers and I served active duty US military. I want to see us not defending or attacking either Iran or Israel. They’re both evil.
"I want to see us not defending or attacking either Iran or Israel". That says it all. The world's foremost sponsor of terrorism, the one that killed almost three hundred Marines in Beirut, thousands of Americans through other terrorists strikes and 20,000 of their own people, the Islamic fanatics who want to get and use nukes . . . and you don't think we should attack them.
One incident, in 1967, vs. dozens or more since. Not that body counts should determine what is worse, but I think in this case it's obvious which is worse. Israel should be held accountable, on that we agree. But should the nation of Israel be destroyed and all the people wiped out? Would that be better for you?
Memo to Democrats: you ever watch Zero Dark Thirty? Was Congress notified? Was there a vote to approve? Who was the Commander In Chief in charge? I rest my case.
Obama bombed Libya without congressional approval too.
The righteousness of war is always a shade of gray. There have always been innocents lost in the cross-fire. Even America entering WW2, about as morally clearly justified as any war ever, offers moments of self doubt and sorrow for lives lost, including in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. But loss of life cannot be a principal barrier of freedom and justice. Sacrifice is always a carefully considered necessity for the greater good
This is the penultimate challenge for any remaining Democrats who still believe in the red, white and blue...who still possess just a modicum of patriotism in spite of their disregard for Trump and/or MAGA...to distance themselves from the woke left and #WalkAway.
Not to MAGA, but to BlueMAGA.
By now most learned people know of Dr. Jonathan Haidt's groundbreaking science on what divides conservatives/libertarians vs. progressives/liberals.
It's science that has proven that left wing people draw their morality from the prism of "Fairness" and "Ending Oppression"
When the USA and Israel eradicated Hamas from Gaza, we were literally freeing the oppressed Gazan people from their oppressors to create a fair future for Palestinians, yet the lefts hatred for Israel and Trump caused them to abandon one of their key tenets of morality tied to ending oppression.
Same in Venezuela, now in Iran where We the People are using our moral authority and moral power as a nation to free oppressed people across Iran.....and Iranians by and large are exuberant about the possibilities that like ahead and sober about the hard work that entails.
In this 250th anniversary of We the People ending the oppressive Brits rule on America...this is our gift to the Iranian People, the Palestinian People and the Venezuelan People; a gift for fairness, freedom and ending oppression that no human being on earth should tolerate; let alone sanction as the modern Democrat party is wont to do.
This obviously excludes @Libertarian who has all the characteristics of a Progressive.
There's always a unicorn.
Summarize: leftists only like/support their very special type of oppression/suppression/social political pogroms. Apparently their cancer riddled souls employ the same Nazi justification amorality as Hitler, et al. Like fake Libertarian posting. You know, I am doing the universe a favor by murdering Jews, Catholics, Mormons, blacks, homosexuals, disabled. True Libertarian values in their minds, right L?
Democrats are consistently on the wrong side of every issue and on the wrong side of history. I no longer even try to talk to them. Once they say they are a Democrat, I realize they mean they are a fascist and I walk away.
Don't like Endless Wars. Military actions become endless when they drag on beyond reason. Trump so far hasn't done that. Bush did-twice. He got convinced that there would be chaos if we pulled out after accomplishing out goal. So we embarked on the futility of nation building. Speaking for myself, that was when I turned against those wars
and Bush. One can hope that Iranians finish the job of eliminating the regime and settle down. If there is to be chaos, there will be whether we are there or not. Iranians will decide that.
There was also the fact that Saddam was keeping the extreme Islamist factions at bay (albeit in very cruel and inhumane ways and practicing this same cruelty on his people who merely opposed his rule and were not hard core Islamist's). I was against those wars from the beginning, even Afghanistan, and I will be against any occupation of any sort in Iran. So far, that isn't happening and Iran is not Iraq in any sense. We shall see, but I'm cautiously optimistic this time. Hopefully Trump doesn't make the mistakes Bush made, and so far doesn't seem to be making them. We shall see.
I'm so grateful to be on team America with people like you. I am conservative and to me that means conserving what is good, true, and beautiful. And it means loving this nation and doing everything in our power to preserve it as founded, a Constitution that is nearly flawless. With all of its errors and corruption, America is still the best hope of the world. We owe it to our children, to ourselves, and to God to love it and fight for it and always be thankful for it. Thank you for your beautiful example!
Very well stated, thank you.
You know who else is really twiddling his thumbs & trying to figure out how he got upstaged/thrown on the ash heap of history by a NYC developer?
G W Bush!!!
He's not smart enough to know.
