FA&FO!
Donald Trump met the moment!
Not that the world awaits the seat-of-the-pants reaction of a retiree blogging from Madison WI but here goes just the same:
What a contrast is Donald Trump from dithering old Sleepy Joe! The previous occupant cut and ran from Afghanistan with local allies hanging in desperation onto the landing gear of aircraft lifting off from Bagram AFB. Wouldn’t that air force base have been useful when Donald Trump unleashed his unholy hell on Iran’s nuclear sites Saturday 06-21-25?
What a contrast is this President from Barack Obama who tried to buy peace with bundles of currency that only financed snake nests throughout the Middle East. (As Scott Walker explains.)

Brian Schimming tells this story: he asked an hispanic voter why hispanics — men especially — voted Trump. The man responded by grabbing his crotch. “These,” he explained.
→ WI GOP chairman faces revolt; rank & file rally to his support. Ron Johnson would not have been re-elected (twice) without Brian.
What a contrast is #45 and #47 from Jimmy Carter’s wreckage in the desert in the failed attempt to rescue American hostages from our embassy. From Our Embassy! Another failure that emboldened our adversaries.
The earth shook, a lotta awe
The strikes against Fordo (or is it Frodo?), Natanz, and Isfahan were targeted, precise, and devastating! The 30,000-pound, GPS-targeted bunker busters, their B-2 Spirit Stealth delivery machines, and those marvelous men in their flying machines worked like Swiss clockwork.
We like a foreign policy that says “I might or I might not.” Tired of worrying how our adversaries will react. Let them worry how WE will react! DJT gave the Ayatollah “up to two weeks” but the old buzzard decided early when his emissaries in Geneva spit on our olive branch. As they did to Joe Biden’s. Von Clausewitz called it “diplomacy by other means.”
Hats off to Bibi and his spooks, as well. The Israeli prime minister has been warning the western world for years. When your enemy says, out loud and every day, that he wants to kill you, maybe you should take him at his word. Helps that the liar Adam Schiff is whining. Anyone hear the dogs that aren’t barking? Putin is sheathing his sabers. Xi is mum. Even fat Kim put a plug in it. Now, if only, Tucker Carlson could do the same.
Blaska’s Bottom Line: President Trump promised to stop never-ending wars. He just put up the Stop Sign for one that has lasted 46 years. There will be flare-ups, some attempts at asymmetrical revenge. Dare Iran touch a hair on a tourist’s head and Tehran will tremble like Gaza. The axis of evil just got a litle smaller.

Captain bone spur and that faux news weatherman will get us in a pile of crap and then start looking for someone to blame. Dementia Don will cut and run. He always does. Did this just in time for the Sunday morning talking heads.
Well, if Hillary hadn’t gifted Iran all that uranium, this would have never happened. Similar to Obama gifting all that $$$$$ to Iran. IMO
“Captain bone spur and that faux news weatherman will get us in a pile of crap and then start looking for someone to blame.”
A pile of crap would be a gang of medieval religious zealots wielding nukes in the Middle East and aiming them at Israeli and American targets. Which is what we’d get eventually if Biden/Kamala had been elected. Perhaps a pipe dream, but I hope the ayatollahs get thrown out on their faces by a civilian uprising. If that happens, the Middle East will be a better place.
Iran has now gone on record indicating it is considering various methods to use against American and Israeli targets. This is in response to the Trump administration’s destruction of Iranian nuclear facilities. By the way, Mordecai, who pulled the U.S. out of the Iran nuclear treaty in 2018? None other than our favorite 34 count convicted felon who now inhabits the Oval Office.
I wonder who TACO will blame when the s@#t hits the fan down the road. The famous trump line; “on my first day in office” yeah right.
If you think for a second that Iran negotiated that treaty in good faith, you are more far gone than the Squad types in Congress. Appeasement doesn’t work with barbarians who disregard their own lives out of fanatical bloodlust. That treaty was a pile of sh!t from the beginning.
When a mentally disturbed teenager threatens to get a gun and shoot up a school, only an idiot allows them the opportunity. Iran has been making these same threats for decades and the sane adults in the room just denied them a formidable weapon. Denying that to be a good thing takes a special level of willful detachment from reason.
If you think for a second that Iran negotiated that treaty in good faith, then you’re farther gone than the Squad types in Congress. There is no appeasing barbarians who disregard their own lives out of fanatical bloodlust, regardless of what several weenie-spined presidents before Trump tried. That treaty was a pile of sh!t from the beginning with zero chance of keeping a nuke out of Iran’s reach.

No worries, Richard. Haven’t you heard? TACO Don plans to “MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN”.
From Amazon.com:
“Potassium Iodide For Nuclear Fallout – As Fast as One Day with Prime.”
Then there’s this little ditty to provide cheer and good-will:
“Just sing out a te deum
When you see that ICBM,
And the party will be cone
As you are.”
–Tom Lehrer
ISIS unavailable to respond. Why do you think that is Liesack?
ISIS doesn’t have a presence in Iran.
I’ll say.
Breaking news: An Obama appointed Boston Federal judge has issued an order enjoining Trump from further bombing and ordering him to restore Iranian nuclear facilities to pre-attack condition.
BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
HOW THE MIGHTY ARE FALLEN. Last October Iran told Hamas to invade Israel to kidnap, rape and murder Jews at a music festival. Iran told Hezbollah to launch thousands of Iranian supplied rockets from Lebanon and Gaza which they had shipped through Assad’s Russian backed Syria.
Now Hamas and Hezbollah are sucking wind, Syrian is over thrown, the Iranian generals who carried out Khameini’s orders are dead.
Obama and Biden financed many of the Iranian rockets, many of its terrorist proxies and enabled the Iranian nuclear threat to loom ever nearer.
TRUMP! You magnificent bastard!
Since declaring a bigly success I saw that 40 GOP congressmen are flying to the area on a fact-finding mission. Led by Lindsey and MTG. Tucker will be reporting back to the US. Dinner and drinks at the Tehran Trump tower. BON Voi age.
After 47 years of threats to destroy Israel and killing thousands of Americans in Iraq and around the world (Lebanon, Kobahr Towers, Argentina embassy), it was way past time a president ended the endless “negotiations” with these cretins. Are there dangers involved? Of course. But there were even greater risks to continue “bargaining” in the bazaar with Persians who don’t want to actually make a deal. The lying and cheating never ends. Fortunately, Israel has so thoroughly infiltrated their regime that they have no secrets to keep. Dick and Anonymouse are warning that NOW, they will be really mad at us and might do something awful! Like they weren’t already planning to do truly awful things before. But now it will be a lot harder. They don’t have any friends and if they persist, they won’t have an economy either.
Beirut… 247 Marines killed by Hezbollah/Iran.
That’s only the tip of the iceberg. 50+ attacks on Americans by Iran or their proxies since 1979. There will be more for as long as the ayatollahs are in charge and they’ve said so. We’ve played grab ass with these backward assholes for too long.
A lot harder, Patrick? How naive. Iran may ùse terror cells within the U.S., maybe in consort with Russia.
Anonymouse, those are lesser alternatives to what they wanted to accomplish. If they were not, they would have already employed them. They only “negotiate” to buy time. Then they cheat and lie and build their bomb anyway. Only a fool or a frightened little mouse would believe they negotiate in good faith. Got sleeper cells? Bring it. They won’t be able to hide their fingerprints, or Russia’s. Considering that they already threatened sleep cells but ended up giving us advance warning of the attack on Qatar so nobody would get hurt, they seem to be of a different frame of mind these days. I wonder why.
If Iran attacks Americans on their own soil, it will be open season on every last ayatollah and officer in the IRGC. And Trump will make zero effort to restrain Bibi and Mossad. The Iranian regime will not survive.
Iran attacked the USS Samuel B. Roberts in 1988. Reagan responded by setting their oil rigs ablaze and sending half their navy to Davey Jones’s locker. Trump does not have that much restraint and Iran now knows it.
if the allies would have done this to Hitler, at Munich, maybe just maybe, no world war two. oh sorry Japan and December 7th 1941.
Another middle eastern paper tiger goes down in flames. Why do Democrats always pick the wrong side?
Because it takes a loser to like a loser. Just look at Chicago Bears fans.
