War Abroad - Fraud at Home

First the war...Can You Spell F-R-A-G-I-L-E?

(Last Friday early AM) This so called Double Ceasefire sure looks un-promising so far. Missiles still being fired. Strait not quite open. No idea who's in charge for the Bad Guys. Experts say a panel of five. All hardcore America/Israel haters. Great, huh?

But most importantly of all...these lunatics are liars.

So many snags. Who's gonna be in charge? How we will verify? How do we ensure no retaliation against protestors?

The only real victory is a NEW REGIME. But America won't give Trump the rein to achieve. If we don't succeed totally, you can be sure China will test us on Taiwan. This ceasefire may be over in a day.

(Wrong!!!! Wrote the above on Friday morning. Predicted negotiations would flame out in 24 hours. I was wrong. They were over in 21 hours. I repeat the ONLY way to get the regime change that is essential is the DREADED "boots on the ground".)

That said, it is hard to see this thing going much longer. The US is now in the process of closing the Strait of Hormuz thereby shutting down the IRGC's already meager cash flow. Their Navy is gone, so too most of their missiles and drones. More importantly their launch and production sites. 90% of their people hate them. My Iranian sources say most want the US to do "whatever it takes". Bridges, power plants, whatever.

Surely, our domestic LEFT knows they should actually cheer the ongoing collapse of the theocrats in Tehran and the threat they present to the world. But the fact that the cartoon villains living in their collective heads rent-free 24/7/365 — Trump and Netanyahu — are the ones deconstructing the baddies leaves the lefties in legacy media and the Democratic Party stuttering and mumbling. No - seething and cursing.

It’s not over, but could it be - the beginning of the end of the Islamic Republic has arrived? NYT wrote one of the reasons Iran can't agree to open Hormuz is they can't remember where they put the mines.

Bear in mind the ones hosting the so far ill-fated negotiations, Pakistan, is no friend of ours. They are a China "cut out", which means China is looking for an off ramp too. 40% of their oil goes through Hormuz.

Republicans Losing Faith?

Not according the CBS poll that just came out.

• 87% say the Strait of Hormuz must be opened

• 81% say the Iranian people should be made safe and free.

• 76% say Iran musat be stopped from threatening other countries

• 76% say Iran must never have Nkues (who the hewll are the other 24%)

Now to Fraud - How Is It...

A whole neighborhood's kids all have autism? There are more sellers of wheelchairs and durable medical equipment than McDonalds? One-third of the hospice agencies in the entire country are in one state?

Has nobody heard of reasonableness testing?

Of course they have, but when staying in power depends on cultivating voter blocks anything goes.

Amazing. Trump's the only guy to do anything about this stuff and polls show public disapproves because he's too slow. Just remember experts predict. Medicare/Medicaid go broke in just six (6) short years.

Chump Change

Early reports from investigations of Medicaid fraud in the Wildfire State signal CA may make the Gopher State look like chump change.

Never Again

...will I indulge Trump Haters and even sane people who say Trump shoulda done this or shouldn't done that. He shoulda told the American people in advance, he shoulda alerted the Allies and got them on board ahead of time, he shouldn't called X this or that. He shouldn't threatened to...yaddy, yaddy, yaddy.

Know why I refuse to give any credence whatsoever? Not because the critiques don't have merit or, occasionally, are spot on.

I refuse to salute, despite a natural inclination to be fair and objective, because "agreeing" with critics doesn't make a tinker's damn worth of difference. Even if Trump did everything they asked for, in their eyes he'd still be a bum.

No matter what the guy does or might do (including curing cancer) few cut him any slack. Let alone give him even an attaboy. The border gets shut and ICE are criminals. We take out the world's single greatest sponsor of terror and he's a warmonger. We get NATO to start paying its bills and Trump is destroying alliances. Goes after fraud and waste and he's putting people out of work. Like I said...yaddy, yaddy, yaddy.

Example - first the Left went apoplectic when Trump threatened to bomb bridges and power plants. "He's gonna nuke Iran." Then when the President showed restraint and diplomacy, the Trump-haters started calling him T-A-C-O. Taco meaning Trump Always Chickens Out.

Have you ever seen such undiluted, unhidden hypocrisy in history? Such ideological inconsistency. No morals, no values. BTW - Anybody hear a peep from the Pro Palestinian Left about the poor souls in Iran. Nah. Democrats can pull a 180 in a blink and never look back.

Nothing the guy could ever do will get an ounce of respect from the Left, which is the reason why Congress can't function. It ain't about what's good for Americans. It's all about - GET TRUMP!

What about Reciprocity?

More than once over the past 8 decades I have been asked what makes a successful, long lasting relationship? Asked I infer because it was presumed I knew what doesn't.

My answer was always reciprocity. Both parties give as much as they receive. In ways and degrees.

Clearly that POV is not shared by most of our Allies. Were we not there for the Brits in Falklands, the French in Chad, the South Koreans in the Korean War, Europe in Kosovo, Bosnia and now Ukraine? Before that all of Europe in WWs 1 & 2?

Did we not liberate Kuwait? What about Libya?

Does not more oil flow through the Strait of Hormuz to Europe than to the US? Are not Russia and Iran closer?

Honestly, what gives? I'll tell you. These nations have been so overrun by Woke Leftists and illegals that leaders quake in their boots. No doubt they're still seething that Trump called them out on defense spending. Their disloyalty must derive from some confluence of political fear, pathetic character or maybe they're just too cheap.

Why Did Trump Lift Sanctions on Russian Oil?

Likely to calm energy markets and avoid a stock market meltdown. The guy is, after all's said and done, a businessman. Is he capable of playing hard ball - absolutely. Will he cut off his nose to spite his face? Nah ah - not so much.

Now Here's A Strategy that Makes Perfect Sense

Governor Ron DeSantis claims to spend a great deal of time studying California, Illinois and NY. He feels they provide invaluable insight about what NOT to DO. Now that's common sense.

"Bush Lied"

Trump once hurled that slur at Dubya in regard to WMD and the decision to go into Iraq. Toward the end of his second term it had become popular consensus that he deceived the American people and was the scourge that carried Obama to the White House. I was always so nonplussed as to why Americans came to hate GW that much. Hatred was nowhere near as bad as TDS but it was damn sure visceral.

So, for a just minute, let's go back and visit some facts. 73% of Americans supported invading Iraq. 49 countries did too. Both Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice have stated emphatically that the intelligence they received supported the WMD presumption. After all, both Iraq and Iran had used chemical weapons in their war.

So, in all likelihood, GW wasn't hoodwinking Americans so his Dad could make oil money. He believed the intelligence he had in front of him and so did most everybody else. He didn't lie.

Politics Stops at the Water's Edge

This has long time been a saying and a practice among opposing political sides. Its meaning? When we are at war, when our men and women are putting their lives at risk to preserve our way of life, political squabbling STOPS. Parties stand shoulder to shoulder in support. Okay - they don't join hands and sing Kum bay ah. But they sure don't call the Commander-in-Chief deranged, unhinged, a military moron or a fascist. Oh for the days when an ounce of decorum could be found.

Only in Canada

They invented a new acronym.

MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+.

Now, that is an unserious country. That's the only way I can explain it at this point. They're just unserious people. We can't ever – and I mean ever – take them seriously again. Not that we really did before, but it's truly over now. 

For those wondering (duh), MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+ stands for: Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Questioning, Intersex, and Asexual+ people.

Say it fast! Oh Canada.

In Favor of Term Limits?

Yes, for voters.

No Time to Skimp

Trump put forth a $1.5 trillion request for military funding. That may seem outrageous but not so much when you consider years of starvation under Biden. We don't just need to replenish missile and ammunition inventories. Or build ships. We need cutting edge technologies now and developing for the future.

Just saw China opened a new factory that can turn out 10,000 humanoid robots PER DAY.

Affordabilitee Solution

Detroit is offering cash down payments for anyone who will buy a home in Motown. Go live someplace your value (the salary you're worth) can handle.

As If We Needed More Examples.

If you need more proof that we have murderous illegals running rampant in our country watch the video airing on Fox. Robert (Ro-bare) Joaquin, a Haitian immigrant here illegally, bludgeoned a Florida mother to death with a hammer. He lures her out then smashes her six times. He said he went there SPECIFICALLY to kill her. Be prepared - this is TRULY VICIOUS.

A Judge issued an order of final removal for this animal in 2022. The Biden administration then granted temporary protective status that expired in 2024. He has been running around free since.

In Missouri, Yefry Archaga-Elvir, 18, also in the country illegally, lured Miles Young, 15, into a planned ambush before chasing him down and shooting him, The Honduran national is charged with first-degree murder and armed criminal action and is being held without bond on a federal immigration detainer.

As Trump says...Import the Third World you become the Third World.

Biden'ed

After decades of looking the other way Dems have finally tossed this reprobate to the curb,

I'm referring to the scummy congressman from California, Eric Swalwell. The one's whose girlfriend was a Chinese spy. He WAS running for governor to replace U Haul Newsom. I say - WAS - because this past week he was accused of multiple instances of sexual harassment by female staffers. And...and...now he's accused of funneling campaign funds to illegals on his staff.

He withdrew from the race, then resigned from Congress and apologized so I suppose that's good enough. Anyway he's gone.

No surprise. Been going on for a long time and Dems ignored. How blatant was it? 55 former staffers signed a petition calling for Swally to resign. But Dems didn't want to lose the seat. However, as soon as polls showed he could cost them the governor's mansion, they Biden'ed him.

Orban Loses in Hungary

Victor Orban, PM of Hungary and a strong Trump ally, lost his job last week. Several reasons are given. Not the least of which are unacceptably close ties to Russian oil and China. Orban ruled with a strong hand, let their be no doubt. A hawk on immigration and other WOKE policies, Orban had been in power for 16 years.

Too early to understand what this signifies, if anything. Cronyism and corruption are blamed for the most part. Regardless, it certainly is not the outcome the Administration favored. For the record, the new PM, Peter Magyar has been described as Orban minus the corruption. He was a member of Orban's party previously, so he's definitely not a lefty. Hungary remains a decidedly conservative country.

Dumb Move

Trump lashed out at new (American) Pope Leo. Called him weak on crime and foreign policy. Can't see how this helps with Catholics. Another case where Trump's big mouth may cost him support. He mouthed off against Carney in Canada and handed him the election. Just to name one.

On the other hand Trump is right and Leo is wrong. The Pope held forth on the evil of war...in thinly veiled remarks aimed unmistakably at President Trump, the US and Israel. Well, fact is NOT ALL war is bad. Eradicating vicious terrorists, who slaughter their own citizens, are armed with Nukes and the determination to wipe you off the face of the earth is "not wrong." And I thought this guy was gonna be more realistic than Francis.

Could It Be True?

Only Possible in These Times.

Jonathan Richardson, who now uses the name Autumn Cordellione, was convicted in 2002 of murdering his 11-month-old stepdaughter by strangulation in a brutal killing. The murder shocked the nation over two decades ago, as Richardson heartlessly described his victim as ‘the little f***ing b***h’ to a corrections officer.

Despite the grisly murder, the heavily tattooed killer served less than half of his 55-year sentence, and was quietly released in late December 2025 without the Indiana Department of Corrections (IDOC) notifying local officials. the killer was released 30 years early allegedly because the prison didn't want to pay for the gender-altering surgery the killer demanded.

The Latest Liberal Dilemma

Root against the Islamic Republic or root against Trump. Tough choice. NYT columnist Thomas Friedman wrote a column and the paper (All the News that's Fit to Print) published it saying this was an awful choice between two awful alternatives. Yeah. Six a one...

A tossup. Like asking Americans which do you dislike more...temporarily elevated gas prices or a nation who hates your guts, threatens to erase you and is on its way to having the nukes to do it. Tough choice, eh?
