Why? Well, here’s a couple reasons why:
There’s a lot more, of course. The mullah regime has been the focal point of terrorism in the world since 1979. They fund it. Arm it. Train it. Facilitate it across borders. They are a pestilence which needed to be squashed out the gate. But, we didn’t. Jimmy Carter was given full justification for war against Iran on November 4th, 1979 and he chose to negotiate with them…to play a game they set up where they were the aggrieved party and the USA had to offer reparations for its sins. And then President after President let it slide…mounting numbers of death, more and more terror and oppression and yet it was hands-off on Iran.
I don’t know why. Sure, there were bribes. Clearly to this day – perhaps even to this minute if we haven’t blocked all the Iranian bank accounts – people have been getting paid to toe Iran’s line. Also, there was idiocy. People built up a bizarre fantasy world where the West in general and the USA in particular was the cause of all the ills in the world and so any entity standing against the West and the USA were the good guys. I can’t adequately describe the level of insanity one has to have for this to seem like a rational idea…we’re dealing with savages who hang people for being gay and stone women to death for showing a little ankle. People who do this are obviously evil…but wash it through an Ivy League degree and all of a sudden a 73 year old coup in Iran excuses it all. But even with all that, I can’t see why we didn’t just take them out.
We are overwhelmingly more powerful. Not just a bit stronger – overwhelming. We have absolute aerial superiority. Complete command of the seas. Vastly more money, manpower and manufacturing capacity. It doesn’t matter how brave and dedicated the regime’s servants are – power is power and we have vastly more than Iran. There is no negotiation with this disparity of power – it is we say what we want, perhaps give them a bit of what they want (if it suits us) and if agreement is not made, the regime is destroyed. And any fool can easily see this is the outcome…but only if the Iranians know there is an American government which is serious. That has been the missing element. Again and again we have simply rolled over for the Mullahs. Republicans and Democrats, hawks and doves…everyone has been eager to kowtow to mullah bluster.
The mullahs decided we were still bluffing – the lesson of Maduro did not take hold. Just yesterday the mullahs were still full of shouts and threats. But this time, today, it was all different – because Trump doesn’t bluff. He’ll wheel and deal. He’ll move in a complex dance with alternate velvet gloves and iron fists..but in the end when he says “it will be thus”, that is what it will be – and he never demands something that is out of reach. The mullahs could have made a deal. Heck, per Trump the remnants still alive right now can make a deal…but the deal is no nukes, no more terrorism and the Iranian people get to run their own lives. However they want. Trump hasn’t said what sort of new Iran there must be – rightly so because it isn’t our call to make. Monarchy. Democracy. Heck, even Islamic Republic, if the Iranians want it. But it has to be what they want, and must never threaten America or American interests again.
This is yet more of Trump getting us back into the real world. A world where we simply are top of the heap. Hate it all you want, it is what it is. Even in our currently weakened state, we still outshine everyone, and by a lot. Trump is resetting the world: letting it know that you don’t want to defy us. Argue with us all you want. Hit us hard in the give and take of negotiations. Press for every ounce of advantage against us. Fine. And we’ll play the same game. But defy us? Threaten us? Attack us? Not a good idea. You will lose. And very badly.
And how are the Democrats responding? Other than Fetterman, even worse than you’d expect. They are condemning it. That is, condemning the effort to rid the world of a half-century old pestilence. We’ll see what judgement the American people render on it.

Apparently the Ayatollah has assumed room temperature – temporarily.
I have it on good authority that the Ayatollah’s temperature has increased – significantly. And no, I don’t think it’s from frolicking with 72 hot virgins.
It seems like the guy was meeting with all his top people – including at least one of his adult children – when he got hit. You’d think they’d have learned by now that those meetings gotta be a Zoom call going forward.
Looking around at opposition comments, it is all so very tiresome – the same worn out talking points which have been used to justify inaction for decades. To deflect. To try to do anything other than look at it.
Khamenei was President of Iran for most of the Iran-Iraq war, when the Iranians sent teenage boys in human wave attacks against Iraqi trenches. Just completely throwing away lives because he figured the disparity in populations would result in Iranian victory. It didn’t, but he didn’t care. Just a rat bastard as far as that goes. Here in 2026, Iran’s total fertility rate is just barely at replacement level and declining…essentially, Khamenei threw away Iran’s future because continued war against Iraq justified the consolidation of the Mullah regime.
And of course he was also stealing money – it is estimated that he had $95 billion. This in a country where the per capita income is four grand a year. His son was especially noted for his thievery of Iran’s wealth. And, of course, Khamenei ruled a regime which, among a host of crimes, hanged a 16 year old girl for the crime of being raped. Khamenei was garbage…but we were told we had to respect him and allow him to oppose us.
Trump decided to stop playing that game.
I still remember Neda Afgha-Soltan, the very pretty Iranian woman who was protesting in the streets in 2009 and was executed by the Iranian military. Point blank, shot right in the head, right in the street, and Obama did nothing. Didn’t even mention her. I remember the hostages in 1979 and how they were treated and of course all the terror by proxy from this 15th century regime. This was long past due and God Bless Trump for having the balls to do it. Real Christian men do not allow men like the Mullahs to exist regardless of the danger. They are pure evil and “if you love God, you must hate evil” Psalms 97:10, and appeasing evil is allowing evil to exist …. This from the very disappointing Tucker Carlson
Tucker Carlson Slams President Trump’s “Disgusting and Evil” Attack on Iran
What happened to him? I want to ask Tucker to reach down into his pants and let me know if he still has his balls.
There is a phrase mentioned in the Bible over 360 times and it behooves us Christians to remember it. That phrase is “Do Not Be Afraid”. Never be afraid when confronting evil … God has our back.
Apparently Tucker didn’t get the message.
When dirty-necked hooligans attacked our embassy in Pakistan, the Marine guards shot them…deliberately aiming for fatality. The world needs to learn that the old USA of weakness is gone.
Tucker Carlson is making me believe in alien abduction, because he sure doesn’t seem like the Tucker we used to see. I don’t think his problems are south of the belt line but between the ears.
We can all expect Democrats to take some weird positions, and make some weird comments all because they simply hate Trump. And Zohran is one of the first to chime in …
NYC mayor Zohran Mamdani is slammed for tone deaf post criticizing Trump
Zohran wanted the Iranians who live in NYC to know that they “will be safe”. I guess Zohran doesn’t understand is that the Iranians living here, all fled Iran because of the oppression. And Zohran thinks they might be sad. Did you see the celebration in Los Angeles?? A huge amount of Iranians in the streets with placards saying “Thank you President Trump”
Trump is realigning not only our country, but the entire world and a year from now, it will be impossible to deny his success.
If this hasn’t already happened, it will.
Hilarious. I saw this earlier. And isn’t it ironic that all the leftist women who claim MAGA will turn American women in Handsmaid Tale women, celebrate and defend men who actually do turn their women into Handsmaids.
Yes, it’s truly amazing how Dems have fooled women into being their base, while denigrating them the way they do. Imagine the old vaudeville blackface routines making fun of black stereotypes being strenuously defended by the Left while still depending on black votes—but that is analogous to the vicious mockery of women exhibited by “drag queens” and they are heroes of the Left, to the point of taking them into libraries and schools to indoctrinate children into the Left’s ugly stereotype of women. They have reduced womanhood to being nothing but sex toys, good for nothing but transient pleasure and no longer linked to the sacred roles of reproduction and motherhood, and even stripped women of their essential identity by claiming that men can also be women, merely by dressing a certain way, reducing “womanhood” to mere costuming and makeup. Women are now the cannon fodder of the Left, painted with blue hair and dispatched to do battle with the authority of the nation. The very concept of dignity is no longer relevant to Leftist women, as they debase themselves in profane street theater and posturing for video selfies illustrating ignorance and lack of self respect.
It is bizarre – but it shows that on the Left they’ll swallow anything. Right now, they are suddenly getting a strange, new respect for the Mullah regime…the regime that hangs a 16 year old girl for the crime of being raped…hangs gay people for merely existing…pays foreign goon squads to gun down Iranians peacefully (genuinely peacefully) protesting. Has it written into the Constitution that the elections are rigged to ensure that the Islamists cannot lose. And they’ll swallow it whole…
Yes, PLEASE!
I got stuck on “hold” yesterday so was idly scrolling through Facebook reels and stumbled across a couple of the new Bigfoot video clips. I think my favorite was when a blue-haired woman yelled that illegal aliens do what Americans won’t, and he said “Vote for Democrats?”
