We didn’t start the fire…
Billy Joel
If you ever doubted the existence of Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS), Democrat strategist James Carville’s unhinged, expletive-filled rant last week proves that TDS exists. In fact, Carville maintains he has the psychopathological malady that made him look like Mattel’s action character Skeletor. People like Carville and Rosie O’Donnell have been visually transformed by the hate-filled sickness. It’s scary.
Aside from the Iran war, concerns have also been raised by recent intelligence intercepts that “sleeper cells” may have been activated in the US by Iran. According to Grok, over 1500 Iranian nationals were apprehended at the border during the Biden presidency and 729 to as many as 1272 of those 1500 were released into the US. It is unknown to what extent any of these foreign nationals were vetted.
Additionally, last week’s terrorist attack in NYC by two radicalized teenagers from Pennsylvania underscores the concerns of Americans. It is clear that we have disturbed US citizens, criminals and fraudsters, but any terrorist attack by illegals is on Biden and the Democrats’ open border policy. We voted for a controlled border, and President Trump delivered. And we voted for the deportation of aliens whose first act was to break our laws and are here illegally.
You may not have caught it, but one of the terrorist teenagers made the sign of ISIS as he was taken into custody and insultingly called you a Kafir. This is a derogatory Muslim term for a pagan, an infidel or a non-believer. But even if you are Muslim, you can be labeled a Takfiri, a Muslim of a different sect who is considered an apostate and can therefore be killed by other Muslims.
Tamerlane, also known as Timur the Terrible, was a ruthless 14th-century Turco-Mongol conqueror who once besieged Baghdad. He was asked why he was killing fellow Muslims. He proclaimed them to be bad Muslims. Baghdad subsequently fell, and archaeologists have found mounds of 100,000 skulls.
In the 1980s, Iran and Iraq fought a protracted war. More than 1 million were killed over border issues and because Iraqis are Sunni, whereas the Iranians are of the Shia sect. The two branches of Islam have been feuding with each other since 632 AD over the succession of Islamic leadership after Muhammad’s death.
For 47 years, Iran has been at war with us, chanting “Death to America.” If you include the 1983 Beirut barracks attack, the 1984 Beirut US Embassy annex bombing, the 1996 Khobar Towers bombing in Saudi Arabia, our soldiers killed by militias, proxies and IEDs during the Iraq war, Grok totals 868 American deaths, not to mention the thousands of soldiers maimed by the Mullahs. Therefore, I have little pity for Iranians.
Eight presidents have dealt with the Iranian terrorist regime and repeatedly proclaimed that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. The Mullahs have been negotiated with, sanctioned and bribed with pallets of cash to no avail. Only President Trump had the courage to do something about it. We bombed their uranium enrichment sites, but they continued their nuclear weapon program and ballistic missile systems to deliver death to Israel, if not the US. When negotiations again failed, with the Iranians bragging about having enough uranium to enrich sufficiently for 11 nuclear bombs, Trump said enough.
Retired four-star General Jack Keene has frequently been on TV lately explaining the Iran war and why Trump is doing the right thing. The former Chief of Staff of the Army said of Iran, “They lie, lie, lie and cheat, cheat, cheat.”
Trump said they should have “made a deal.” And as President Andy Jackson once proclaimed, “A man with courage makes a majority.”
Americans have finally realized we are at war with Iran, whether Congress declares it or not. In addition to killing our soldiers and agents for nearly 50 years, we have learned that Iran has repeatedly plotted to kill Trump. An Iranian agent was recently convicted of attempting to kill the president, so don’t cry to me that Khamenei was blown up along with a bunch of his fanatics.
Last week, Greg Guttfeld nailed it for me. He said Trump is “normal,” and since Democrats oppose anything Trumpian, they are not. Democrats have no common sense. They are anti-American and even cheer for Iran with our troops on the battlefield because, like Carville, they hate Trump more than they love our country.
We can’t allow Democrats to regain power. Therefore, the SAVE Act must be passed immediately by the Senate. It has already passed the House. The bill stipulates that only United States citizens can vote and that voter ID is required. This is simple common sense and supported by a huge majority of Americans, yet Democrat leadership opposes the legislation. I recently saw a meme that read, “If Congress can’t pass a bill that 80% of We The People support, they no longer represent We The People.”
The book of Esther is the only book in the Bible that does not explicitly mention God. Nonetheless, the concepts of providence, involvement and guidance are portrayed. The story takes place in ancient Persia (current-day Iran) during the reign of King Xerxes. Jewish exiles were under threat of death by the king’s minister. When Queen Vashti disappointed Xerxes, the Jewish Esther was chosen to be the next queen. Esther is encouraged to courageously petition the king to save her people. The famous verse 4:14 reads, “And who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?”
After the attempted assassination of President Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, the notion of providence has been on the mind of many, including the president. Rising with bloodied ear and neck, Trump defiantly shook his fist and said we must, “Fight, fight, fight!” And since Butler, the president has also spoken of his changed perspective, his faith and the hand of providence.
There is a long-standing debate among historians about whether an individual makes history or whether history brings about a leader. Perhaps it is a bit of both, but I see Trump as the president “for a time such as this.”
