More on Iran
It actually came as a shock to some of the self-proclaimed experts that other Middle East nations might prefer peaceful and lucrative trade with Israel to being threatened with nukes by Iran.
A number of self-proclaimed Middle East experts warned that if Trump blew up Iran’s nuclear facilities, it would ignite World War III as Iran’s terrorist proxies like Hezbollah and other Arab Muslim nations rushed to join Iran in declaring war on the US. Well…where’s the war? We compared it to Sherlock Holmes’ observation about the mystery of the dog that DIDN’T bark in the night. Where are all of Iran’s allies rushing to help them destroy the Great Satan? They’re not just being quiet, but many are openly celebrating Iran’s comeuppance.

But we think we’re living in the real reality that was always there, our perception of it has just been warped by 40 years of lies, fear and incompetence that Trump obliterated in less than an hour. Those weren’t just bunker buster bombs, they were truth bombs.
It actually came as a shock to some of the self-proclaimed experts that other Middle East nations might prefer peaceful and lucrative trade with Israel to being threatened with nukes by lunatic Mullahs in Tehran. There’s also the old cliché about Arab nations being smart enough to side with the strong horse, and Iran is looking like a sway-backed mule headed for the glue factory.
But what about all the non-nation state terrorists that Iran has funded with the billions of dollars Obama and Biden let flow to them? Why are they not rushing to attack America and defend Iran (and let’s pray the situation stays that way)?
The Houthis learned not to tangle with Trump, and Hamas is busy trying to stay alive. But what about Hezbollah? Hezbollah isn’t just a ragtag group of troublemakers. It’s a terrorist army, equipped with a fearsome arsenal thanks to Iran. Retired Army Gen. Jack Keane told Fox Business News that Iran’s funding made Hezbollah “into a military organization. They’re the most capable terrorist organization that had ever been created, exceeded al-Qaeda by far, 150,000 rockets and missiles. They were the ground force in Syria, tens of thousands of them propped up the Assad regime. When they left, the Assad regime falls.”
Keane said he asked an Israeli general why Hezbollah hadn’t fired a shot to defend Iran when that was why they were organized. His reply: They have no will to fight because they think the Iranian regime is doomed. Keane said, “What are they going to go out there and die for? If Iran is not going to be able to survive this? Strategic change is coming.”
There may be little appetite in the US for sending Americans to fight to topple the Mullahs, and they do still have considerable resources to bully and terrorize the Iranian people. But they’re also in their weakest position in over 40 years, and the majority of the population hates them. As the old saying goes, they can’t shoot or jail everybody. Simply by standing up to them and exposing the weakness behind their threats, Trump may have lit the fuse for internal regime change. Let’s pray he has, and hope for a better future for the Iranian people. And at least let them know we are behind them, and won’t turn our backs on their fight for freedom, the way Obama did.
Read this article, "Second Lady Usha Vance opens up about interfaith parenting with Vice President JD Vance", https://www.foxnews.com/person/p/hanna-panreck, found it "interesting" but as a born again believer who accepts Acts 4:12 "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." and John 14:6 "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.", and any number of other verses I could cite, I don't understand this cavalier attitude toward religion. It does make a difference what you believe, an eternal difference. The Bible is clear that salvation is by faith in Jesus Christ and nothing more whether "works", Pope, saint, Mary, or even God the Father himself, it is Jesus who took on the form of a man, died for our sins, and was resurrected as proof that he had satisfied the holiness of God. If you understood this truth (not life and death, but eternal life and eternal death) would you expose your children to "options" and hope they make the right choice? I understand that for most people this article will be a "feel good" story but if that's the case they have actually missed the real story.
Read this article, "Trump DHS sues entire bench of federal judges in Maryland district court over automatic injunctions", https://www.foxnews.com/person/o/ashley-oliver, and while I don't know what the possible outcomes of this could be I believe it's long overdue. Generally when someone gets sued the repercussion are personal which is a lot different than when SCOTUS overturns a lower court ruling and the judge can simply repeat his or her mistake all over again with the next case. Perhaps this is a tactic that can be applied in every case where the judge replaces the law with opinion. Something to keep a close eye on.
