If we had a real President, he would have told Israel on Oct. 7th: "You take care of Hamas and Hezbollah. We'll take care of Iran." $10 billion in unfrozen assets would never have been dispatched. And he would have reinitiated Project Praying Mantis from the Reagan years and wiped out Iran's Navy, oil refineries, and nuclear assets. Unlike Israel, we have bombers that can be loaded with MOABs to deliver.

The last week has shown that Israel is a move or two ahead of everyone. If they don't have a handle on controlling Iran's nuclear program they clearly will take effective steps long before that matters. We should follow their lead and support them whenever they ask for it (no more O'bonehead threats to "shoot down" an attack on Iran's nuclear sites)

remembering an old Beach Boys tune that goes something like this...

Bomb Bomb Bomb Iran, Bomb Bomb Bomb Iran, Bomb Iraaan, Bomb Iraan

Blunt truth. They must be,not just stopped from playing this game, but annihilated to never play again.

Iran is frankly demonstrating why the Muslim culture peaked 500 years ago (can't say that on social media). Good grief, this is the culture that made modern mathematics possible.

Bombing Iran back to the dark ages would be doing them a favor.

Very well put and spot on. Thankfully Israel cares far less for world opinion than the US and isn’t close to the hand-wringing this country shows whenever it’s time to choose their own side in a fight. I would advise against planning an Iranian vacation in the near future.

This is a gut-check moment for an administration trying to put its best foot forward in a couple of critical swing states with a lot of electoral votes. NC is deservedly getting all of the attention, but GA also got whacked from Valdosta to Dublin to Augusta.

The Dems are supposed to be the party of good governance and big, caring government. If they can't even do that...

Oh--and just wait until building materials are held up on a boat in the Atlantic because "Biden" doesn't "believe" in Taft-Hartley.

Years ago Glen Beck started his own private charity. “If you want the government to do less, you have to do more”. Donate to a private charity that puts most of the money into help and not salaries.

Reagan- what was Reagan going to do if Iran did not release hostages?

The important question is where is Iran getting the money and resources to fund these missile attacks?

On Monday the admin said any direct attack on Israel from Iran would face serious consequences. Well? We’re waaaaiting.

Just like Kamala promising to fix all these issues that she has the power to fix right now.

Harris has largely been silent on this as we all know she secretly or passive aggressively supports Iran.

Biden is irrelevant. He’s gone in a few months. Harris is up for election and the focus must be should she win what she will do about this?

Right now it just seems enough for her to cackle and ignore it.

All with the backdrop that this would not have happened in a Trump admin. But if it did a much different response would have occurred.

People say why should we be the deciding factors in who gets nukes. Because we won’t use nukes unless we had to. A country like Iran would use it without question.

We need to eliminate the threat.

This is what I mean with how much is at stake in this election. It’s no longer about Trump. We choose to save the country or destroy it.

That’s it.

Where does Iran get the money, you ask? Two sources, ChazAtl. First from the US of A when we shipped pallets of cash (Obama), and then when Biden unfroze billions of Iranian assets. Second source: Iran sells the oil it pumps from the ground to various buyers around the world.

The administration is still working out the details of that sternly worded rebuke.

Biden has been irrelevant since he took office.

One question covers your morning missive - WTF are the morons running this country thinking? Answer - take Trump supporters in NC out; underwrite terrorism around the world.

By the way Biden is sending 336 million dollars to 1.2 million

Palestinians represented

by one Hamas leader. USAID is sending the money.

And I'm sure more than half will end up in palestinian leadership bank accounts in Qatar.

I’m sure they will get it all. Because any Humanitarian Aid goes directly to Hamas.

To me, the real threat is that Iran may already have the nuclear power they've been craving. If so, what's the end game then? It's time for BB to give DC the finger and turn Iran into glass. Yes, there will be millions of innocent people slaughtered, but there are no better options anymore. These people are bat-s*** crazy and need to annihilated.

Why do we keep messing up with Iran? smh

And the rescue efforts in North Carolina???

Don't they train for these scenarios? Who's steering this ship? I know this has been a catastrophe like none we have seen, but someone should be in charge to release these resources and the National Guard (release these men and women to do what they do best!), and get things done, even out of the ordinary, because people's lives are depending on it. Government is too big. God help us.

Thank you, thank you so much for those who are volunteering and working tirelessly!
