When those in power betray the will of the people, they don't just fail one leader, they violate the Constitution itself.

Real change has never come from the powerful but from courageous citizens who refuse to look away. If we want a Republic worth passing on, we must demand truth, insist on justice, and hold every leader to the standard our Founders built this Nation on.

I said it in 2016 but nobody wanted to heed the warnings.

Iran is the most dangerous threat in the Middle East, and it always has been. Ballistic missile capabilities with global reach.

Iran was a designated state sponsor of terrorism (the regime still is). While Washington was debating talking points back then, the Iranian leadership was on the ground in Iraq, acting as field commanders in active combat zones killing American Soldiers.

I said it then, and I will say it now: The region could not stabilize with Iranian leadership directing battles on Iraqi soil (never mind directing all their other surrogates—Hamas, HZ, Houthis).

We had a responsibility to draw that line, but we failed to (and like it or not, here we are again).

Everything unfolding in the Middle East today traces back to decisions that were never made and warnings that were never heeded. I was not wrong in 2016. It doesn’t mean what we’re doing now will work (I pray it does).

War is a very complex and very uncertain ...

USAID was (is) a crime spree and everyone involved knows it. There were crimes committed on behalf of some in the USG going back decades. Until people are held accountable, all funding globally must end.

Those responsible should NOT be fired, they should have clearances suspended or revoked, they should be sent home with no pay and fully investigated (this is for the USG employees). For those contracted personnel and companies, they should be thoroughly investigated, all should be immediately suspended from any government work (make sure they didn’t change their names), investigated and if guilty of fraud or misuse of USG funds (U.S. taxpayer dollars), they should all be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

War or no war. The justice department budget is close to $30B (yes, that’s a B!). Until people are held accountable for these deep state crimes, the frustration levels will rise.

People must go to jail over this subversion of our good faith efforts the American people expected...

SITREP IRAN:

Many have asked me various questions about the current war in Iran. One of the main questions is how long do you think this war will last? First off, war is brutal, vicious, filled with irony and uncertainty and always about strategy. However, strategy sometimes goes unnoticed or overlooked because the tendency is to stare at the immediate instead of the longer term consequences.

Discerning the long term strategy in warfare is challenging for even those who pay close attention. Trying to read the mind of the opposing side’s leadership is not easy nor is it an exacting science.

Next, I don’t believe that President Trump wanted this war, not one bit. But like history teaches, you may not want war but war wants you.

In history, war is the norm and peace is the aberration. I wish that wasn’t true but in this, the 21st Century, the United States of America has been at war since 2001 (9/11). It’s not always us who start them, but they never seem to end.

So what does this have to do...
