As an indication of how far we have "progressed" in 25 years, another event like 9-11 would cause the left, MSM, and many in Congress to side with the terrorists.
The left is so addled and being treated like mushrooms by their “gardeners” that they don’t even notice the shite they are being fed. My interest in hanging out with them in their dark, dark spaces is rapidly waning. Sad, really.
And who exactly were the terrorists of that event? Iran was on the list of the 7 countries to topple in the aftermath of that "terrorist" attack. The perpetrators' aim (one of them) was to terrorize the U.S. (and frankly global) citizens in order to try to get a green light to reshape the ME to their will, though they still never actually got that green light for Iraq but went ahead with it anyway with catastrophic results.
I’m definitely on the same page as Jenna. Trump did the right thing that no other president has had the courage to do. As abhorrent as war can be, we had a necessary war 250 years ago. And I am appalled at the women who couldn’t decide who valued women’s rights more. I blame the media and its TDS.
As pretty much always, I am largely on the same page as you here. I did not support the war beforehand, did not think it was any of our business, and was angry that Trump was once again ignoring 'Americans First'. But I see the Left (and anti-war Right) mourning the death of a murderous monster, see the Iranians celebrating in the streets, and think to myself...
... damned, maybe I was wrong. I hope I was, and hope this results in something amazing. Time will tell...
SOTU revealed these heartless, addled giant POS (plural) for the world to see. The twisted ugly screaming maw of that rep squatting next to the other squatter in MY country says volumes. Their support of universe class murderous dictators should be the nail, but like vampires, they rise up still. Get out and vote in primaries and November like your lives depend on it-and it certainly does. Do we really want these monsters back?
Life tends to be more complex than "right" and "wrong". No doubt there are many perspectives. Murdering other humans has always seemed wrong to me, but humanity still seems quite intent on violence against each other.
I'm not there, I haven't had the security and intelligence briefings that the President has had. So rather than pass judgement, I'm more inclined to watch and see what develops.
If I didn’t know anything about the situation in Iran, seeing Iranian’s around the world dancing in the street is all I would need to know in order to make up my mind about whether it was the right thing to do.
I don't think that's what Mindy meant. I believe she meant that there can always be pictures of people dancing in the street once a leader is taken out. That doesn't mean the whole population agrees.
There's usually no black and white in these matters.
It was obvious what your point was to me-- the problem is the emotional reactionism that the divide & conquer tactics have successfully cultivated. It was a very good point that people need to understand.
To the leftists, you're a myopic world class idiot. The point is, there are many different viewpoints. In Iran there are people celebrating, people mourning, people seething, people who just don't know what to think, and people feeling all combinations of the above and then some. It is natural to grasp the images of whatever supports your prexisting view, but it's important to understand that that isn't the whole story if you want to get to the truth rather than just looking to soothe your own conscience.
Every bad thing that has happened to Iran since the end of WW2, the wars, the dictators, the oppression, the invasions, the Mullahs, has all been orchestrated and manipulated by City of London, using their private military force, the U.S.
All because Iran kicked British Petroleum out of Iranian oil fields after WW2. So City of London, the financial headquarters of the Evil, had the U.S. overthrow that Iranian government and gave Iraq everything it needed to invade Iran. Forcing decades of war and oppression onto the Iranian people.
British Petroleum is coming for Iranian oil. And when the Iranians started building weapons, Trump imposed sanctions on them.
And when they persisted Trump bombed them.
Larry Johnson did a good outline titled:
"Iran Does Not Hate Americans… But it Has Legitimate Reasons to Do So"
Conservatives who hate war need to know there is a soldier’s prayer in Psalms— in the word of God, you know, the bible. I’ll find it shortly. I think it’s Ps. 122. It goes something like, “Teach my hands to war and my fingers to fight.”
But what Trump did isn’t a war. It’s an act of mercy. He’s surgically plucked out the head terrorist of the world and killed him. We are not doing any type of “forever war” nor hanging around rebuilding what we just bombed.
Are y’all not happy we had a civil war and the south lost? I’m from the south and I’m glad we lost!
Are you not happy we broke from England? It took a war, kids! We just didn’t knock on the castle door and say, “We’re good. We don’t like how you rule and take all our taxes and stuff, so we want you to leave us alone, now, King. Thanks for the memories.”
I hate war. Most everyone does.
I hate surgery too, but If I have a tumor, I’m not clinging to hating surgery. I’m having that tumor plucked out.
Your insight strikes to the heart of things. Do we exercise power for the sake of others, or do we forsake others to hold onto power? Loving your compass, thank you.
I read yesterday that the Iranians themselves are responsible for the bombing of the school...from several sources on X but don't remember who...and I totally agree with your assessment. I have many Iranian friends here in the US. There's a whole colony of them in Orange County CA where I used to live and they are all ecstatic that this happened, just like their brothers and sisters in Iran.
The Iranian Terror Regime was just pushed over the cliff. The People of Persia will hopefully take their country back. Lasting peace in the Middle East is now possible. The CCP is running out of gas (literally). The Courageous and the Righteous are taking down the Global Bullies. Team Humanity is scoring major wins.
One thing I do know is that I still don't trust the media.
Let's see how the next week / month develops. I'm curious that China and Russia have apparently only said some harsh words. So far World War III hasn't actually broken out yet.
I sure hope you own lots of gold and military stocks.
You might want to keep in mind that it might be Trump-- and I'm not suggesting in the same way, but that he may have sealed his own fate with what is not simply going to be resolved in short order. The effects of this will linger for as long as he remains president.
The best part of all the Iranian celebration videos over the weekend was that there were not only Iranian flags, but American and even Israeli flags. I know some people on here think the Israeli government is the root of all evil, but the Israeli people know how much of a threat the Iranian regime was to their existence. I think it’s great.
Totally spot on, Jenna! Nobody likes dealing with the bullies in the schoolyard, but I'm thankful we have a leader who has no tolerance for it and takes needed action. Yes, ugly, but necessary to stop the madness.
Hard to justify anyone supporting the Iranian regime on any grounds. Once again the libtards are gonna take the 20% side of this issue. And any mention of Epstein strikes me as TDS. Is that guy ever going to die?
I agree w/ your take, Jenna. Delighted that the ayatollah & many of his minions are dead & munitions wiped out, happy for oppressed Iranians. Only concerns are our own blood & treasure AND what is surely hundreds if not thousands of sleeper cells welcomed into the US by FJB. The nightclub slaughter in Austin, as an initial example.

It is time to add TDS as a real and verifiable mental illness in the medical literature.

Have your stakes and the hammers ready to insert into the vampires.

If a foreign government took out Trump, leftists would be dancing in the street.
Who gives a crap about what leftists think. they are myopic world class idiots and everyone knows it.
I don't think that's what Mindy meant. I believe she meant that there can always be pictures of people dancing in the street once a leader is taken out. That doesn't mean the whole population agrees.

Yep, that's what I was going for. Thank you for explaining it with better clarity.

It’s time to Make Iran Persia Again. Let’s hope the Iranian people get the freedom and government they want and deserve.
Sounds nicer too!
Jenna McCarthy should be required daily reading. More so than the usual pundits.
Absolutely! Agree or disagree... Jenna makes the news interesting and thought provoking.

I saw that too.

Maduro gone.
Ayatollah gone.
Who’s on deck?
Inquiring minds…
You might want to keep in mind that it might be Trump-- and I'm not suggesting in the same way, but that he may have sealed his own fate with what is not simply going to be resolved in short order. The effects of this will linger for as long as he remains president.
Best explanation I've heard. Covers about every possible angle and argument.
The best part of all the Iranian celebration videos over the weekend was that there were not only Iranian flags, but American and even Israeli flags. I know some people on here think the Israeli government is the root of all evil, but the Israeli people know how much of a threat the Iranian regime was to their existence. I think it’s great.

I’m concerned about the US-based sleeper cells as well
