    The Iranian attack on Israel was nothing short of an embarrassment for Iran. They launched about 300 missiles and drones at Israel and for that they made a crater at an air strip, no personnel injured. Israel's 'Iron Shield' worked and the USA, Britian, and Jordan showed the world they were capable of taking down drones and missiles in mid-flight.

    We have war. When someone uses one proxy to rape and slaughter 1400 of your civilians, another proxy to fire missiles at you, another to close shipping straits, and then launches 350 missiles and drones at you, you're at war.

    And this is Biden's fault. Trump had Iran cash-starved, Biden infused them with $Billions, which they used for the weapons build up that is now attacking Israel.

    But Biden has a plan.

    I tend to agree with those who consider the Iranian attack to be a political thing rather than a military one. It was not done in a military way. I think the right approach for Israel is to finish up in Rafah and clean out Hamas the best they can. They should have public trials for surviving Hamas members. Since Hamas gained power through an election, the next government should gain power the same way. Possibly the palestinians can do better next time.

    Makes one question which side Biden is on. Or is he straddling the fence with Israel on one side and the terrorists on the other side. For Biden to release $6 billion to Iran was akin to Neville Chamberlain's foolish action. Yep, you were played for a sucker, Joe, and most of us knew it at the time.

    She is obviously a back channel conduit. We know it, she knows it, they know it. She can warn Iran "they are really serious this time...I think."
    Back channels are important to have.

    And what would the Orange Oaf do if he gets the chance? Heck, what will the lying lard bucket do about anything?

    The buck stops with Biden. What Trump might do is not relevant at this point in time.

    Apparently, you have little sense of proportion or understanding of history.
    Just like MAGA types who still support...

    I hope Trump gets elected. That's the only way Iran can be kept under control. Dirty Joe keeps throwing money at them. The left might as well have launched that attack. IMO that blood is on THEIR hands for electing a communist marxist hyper partisan terrorist president

    Uh huh.

    Is that why you MAGA types love the guy even when you can't identify a single policy he supports?

    I am not a MAGA type and do not love the guy. His only redeeming quality is that he is better than Biden and that is a pretty low bar.

    So how will Trump deal with Iran--or Russia, China or NATO? He ran last time without a platform.

    lack of words and lots of memes. A tell tale sign of Trump getting under someone's skin. Enjoy those pictures of your future president.
    Cheers!

    With open borders, millions pouring into the country and rising crime we need a firebrand like Trump to save the country. Forget his personality -- he will do the right thing.

    He didn't "do the right thing" when he was President. What makes you think this time will be different?

    Biden has a plan -- welcome sign and red carpet on the southern border. When we get enough people from banana republics, we will be a banana republic. Strange how some people can't see what's happening under Biden.

    Biden's policies are fairly extreme -- open border, soft on crime, gas $3.69 a gal, give money to a terrorist state, pay off student loans, inflation worse than Carter's, jails his political opponent, worst troop withdrawal in history, abortion paid for by taxpayers -- about all his policies are extreme.

    Well, I won't complain about 1% inflation and gas $2.12 a gal -- sounds like the right thing to me.

    Are the Mullahs Worried About a Revolt After Attack on Israel?

    'If this report from Reuters is accurate, the mullahs of Tehran have every reason to worry. Not just because Iranians know that Israel will eventually respond to the missile attack, and not because they fear the Israelis. They are sick of the mullahs, and now worry that the IRGC has pulled them into a war that will make their lives even more miserable than usual:'

    [​IMG]

    "Economic pressure will mount, our safety will be jeopardized ... We must avoid conflict at all cost. I don't want a war. How can I protect my two children? Nowhere will be safe."

    'Housewife Parvaneh fears an Israeli strike could be the final hammer blow to the economy, weakened by years of sanctions, mismanagement and corruption.'

    "We Iranians have endured more than enough for years. War brings only disaster. My husband is a factory worker. We do not have even enough money to buy staples let alone stockpiling them," said the 37-year-old mother-of-two in the central city of Yazd.

    I wonder what price she will pay for speaking the truth.

    This is the kind of power that Bribed Joe and too much the Left want over our speech:

    'the IRGC declared a ban on any expression of support for Israel on social media platforms:'

    Oh, please. There's no "welcome sign and red carpet," but there isn't enough action to stop illegals. Why hurt your argument with hyperbole?
    Do you know what your "banana republic" reference means?
    People who don't understand economics and finance don't know the half of it. Under Trump, too. Economic growth was the same in Obama's last three years as it was in Trump's first three.

    upload_2024-4-16_17-8-57.jpeg

    The reality is that no President for decades has done a good job and that starts with LBJ.
    There is no "open border," so spare us the hyperbole. He is "soft on crime." Gas price politics is for fools. Writing off student loans is a good thing and should be supplemented by help to young people who don't go to college--maybe support for buying a home.
    One percent inflation is too low a target because economic shocks could tip us into deflation, and that means higher real interest rates.

    Again. Gas price politics is for fools. Why? Because oil prices (not gas prices directly) are set internationally.

    P.S. I don't support carbon taxes.

    P.P.S. I favored the Keystone Pipeline.

    You can't outline any Trump position on the economy, taxation, education, foreign policy... on and on.

    You cannot effectively negotiate with those who wish you and all your kind dead.

    Open is a more than adequate discription of our southern border at the moment as more people have entered in the last 3 years then in the last 2 decades. As for a red carpet, promising food clothing and shelter may not be a red carpet but it is difficult to pretend it isn't at least a gold plated invitation.

    All the more reason for the US to enforce negotiations, before all of the Palestinians are dead. Gaza and the conflict with Iran are closely tied together. Solve one, and you are much further along to solving the other.

    Iran's government wants us and Isreal dead no ifs no ands no buts. that is their ultimate goal. Until that goal changes and sadly negotiations won't change that mind set negotiations are just an exercise in wishful thinking and we will be right back here in another five years or less.
