The Real Party

The Republican Party is hidebound to the "niceties", parliamentary procedure, and maintaining (an imagined) collegiality with the DemocRATS who want to disempower, dispossess, and imprison their leaders, while bankrupting and incarcerating those who back Trump and oppose the shift to the radical Left where they are pushing our Nation. This is no longer a country where a Tip O'Neill and Reagan would enjoy some Bourbon together at the White House after a thoughtful exchange on policy. This is now a place where AOC and the insouciant New York Mayor want to seize your brownstone and settle "migrants" in your fourteen year old daughter's bedroom, and they care not an iota if she is still in it to be ravaged when the rapacious Third Worlders arrive to occupy it and her. MAGA, if in the majority in Congress, would prevent this rise of socialism, but the leader of the Senate GOP Thune thwarts all forward movement of the Trump agenda, because he must maintain the sacred "filibuster", which even a blind man sees will be dispenced with the moment (that is sadly coming soon) where DemocRATS take the majority and like all other evil doers, do as they will, ending the filibuster and pushing their revenge agenda against MAGA, the Founding Fathers, and traditional values upon the United States. For decades, we heard about a handful of so-called RINOS who stymied positive change, but it was never actually the few Republicans in name only who thwarted the conservative shift that would supercharge our land toward unprecedented greatness, but a Paul Ryan-type majority of complacent and feckless fools who did not recognize that this fight is for nothing less than the preservation of liberty and human dignity not only here but beyond our borders and across the entire earth itself. 

Really Just Bluster

The roster of unrepentant murderers runs deep within the Islamic Republic. Unfortunately, Trump apparently thinks some deal may be reached with the surviving leadership, such as it is in Iran. He rattles his saber about blowing this or that up, or "unleashing hell", but in the end, has no appetite to follow through. The oppressed people pf Iran know what to do to free themselves but lack the weapons and training to do it, and Trump shows nothing beyond words that he will help them. 

More Fake News

I saw a story on the BING news feed that the President was so agitated and out of control that he was locked out of the Situation Room at the White House. This is just as credible as the report that Trump wrestled with his own Secret Service detail trying to take control of the Presidential limousine back at the end of his first term. The President is the leader who subordinates are duty-bound to follow, and Trump's team would not exclude him from the management of the war against the Islamic Republic that holds Iran hostage. 

Too Much Winning

Trump may have killed so many layers of Iranian leadership that there is no one left with which to seal a peace deal. The two ways around this would be Reza Pahlavi coming into power due to revolt against the remaining oppressors, which would be the preferred course, or a bloody occupation by American forces which could be a disaster. An MEK takeover would be nearly as bad as the mad mullahs clinging to power. 

Someone Likely Lying

The conflicting stories between the Islamic Republic of Iran and the United States of America remind me of the two boys who tell the principal mutually exclusive stories after a schoolyard scrape. Trump contends Tehran has agreed to give away everything while whoever is the surviving leader of the day in Ayatollah Land claims his mighty nation has not agreed to any concessions. In a way, both sides could be speaking truth if the "negotiating team" of the mad mullahs has no authority to bind that country to a truce because they were not sent by anyone with real power, and are either free agents or so low level that nobody in the higher ranks of the theocracy cares what they have committed to because they actually do not represent whoever is left to oppress the Persian People and other freedom-seeking non-Shiite fanatics. Otherwise, if Trump is just making up the supposed peace agreement that nobody on the other side has agreed to, America is in real trouble because our leader would then be a raging lunatic, which I pray is not the case. 

Disservice to Humanity

If the mad mullahs are left in power in Iran and if Hezbollah remains an armed force dominating Lebanon, there will be no question that the United States and Israel were defeated in this war. Trump is NOT a strategic thinker as he supposes himself to be, but an ego-driven megalomaniac who wants the Peace Prize more than he ever wanted actual peace. Netanyahu is the one Israeli leader since Shamir willing to go against the diktats of Washington when they threaten Israel's existence, but this is not really about leaders but about the tragic consequence to the Persian people who were oh-so-close to freedom. Nations have their own interests but liberty is a universal desire that tragically all too often remains elusive and unfulfilled. Trump should not end action against the Ayatollah, whoever that happens to be, and the Jewish State must not placate America if what Trump is demanding compromises Israel's safety. 

Madison Cawthorn's Claims

The more denials from other Representatives that sound off about knowing nothing about Eric Swalwell's alleged conduct, the more it makes me believe what former Congressman Cawthorn claimed about being invited to an orgy with other politicians. What colleagues of Swalwell are saying now sounds like Germans in 1946 who swore they were completely unaware of Nazi atrocities. We seem to have a House and Senate full of Sergeant Schultz and Colonel Klink who "see nothing", particularly when Swalwell's supposed best friend, Representative Ruben Gallego, feigns outrage and claims ignorance about the Representative to whom he was thought to be like a brother.
