Trump Pulls a Reagan, Taming Not the Evil Empire But the Evil Mullahs
Meanwhile Dems Twist Themselves Into Pretzels Defending the Indefensible
It was one of the greatest hat tricks in presidential history.
For 46 years, Tehran toyed with American presidents. The Iranian regime mocked Jimmy Carter, even as Iran imprisoned his country’s diplomats for more than a year. They laughed at Obama and Biden, taunting them with slogans “Death to America,” even as the Mullahs counted the billions of gold and dollars they won from them.
Then they ran into Donald J. Trump and his Art of the Deal. Peace through strength. I mean what I say. If you FA you will FO. And now, after the extraordinarily disciplined military strike on Iran’s nuclear capabilities, Iran and Israel cried uncle. A ceasefire.
Yesterday, the Times of Israel reported that Trump is brokering a new agreement with Netanyahu to end the war in Gaza within two weeks. The outline: Hamas ousted, Gaza run by four Arab nations, including Egypt & UAE, hostages freed, Abraham Accords expanded, Saudi Arabia and Syria open diplomatic ties with Israel. More good news.
And instead of celebrating, Dems double down on hate, following a vicious media campaign to diminish the bravery of those American pilots who flew 36 hours, refueling in mid-air, and to minimize how their precision eliminated the Iranian nuclear threat. Over and over, as if repetition would make is so, they expressed doubt that Iran’s nuclear threat has been obliterated. They even tried to impeach Trump.
In 2016, President Obama dropped a total of 26,172 bombs on Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Yemen, Somalia and Pakistan. No one in Congress called for his impeachment.
But far from being patriots, today’s Dems tried to impeach Trump, again. This time Al Green’s motion — you may remember him as the congressman waving his cane at Trump during the State of the Union address — went down on a 344-79 vote, with 128 Democrats joining all 216 Republicans to kill the measure. Even former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Trump had acted in “our national security” interests.
I’ve been musing lately about why Dems would rally to Iran, the world’s largest exporter of terrorism, a country that for almost half a century has called the US ‘The Great Satan,” has killed and maimed thousands with their special roadside bombs, even as they called for the extermination of both Israel and America.
Clearly, these activists have a case of Trump Derangement Syndrome. Now, as Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent puts it, they also have a case of Tariff Derangement Syndrome. But I think a larger cause afflicts their souls — White Oppressor Guilt.
Just as clearly, they have a lot to atone for. During the Civil War, and beyond, Dems were the party of slavery. During World War II, under FDR, they were the party of Japanese-American internment. And always they were the party of government programs advertised as helping the poor and downtrodden but always resulting in their further enslavement in depressing housing developments and fatherless homes.
These days Dems embrace any cause that punishes Western Civilization — with its extraordinary contributions to literature, philosophy, science and religion. It’s not just that they hate America. The mostly white liberal women who showed up at the No Kings rallies demonstrated that what they really hate is national sovereignty. They are globalists, keen to demolish borders, disrupt law and order and destroy families. They will wave the flag of any insurgent group that embraces these George Soros principles: make money by sowing hatred and chaos, not love and church.
Everyone in DC knows Congress leaks like a sieve. So the White House briefed Dems on the Hill at the last possible moment, though press secretary Karoline Leavitt said House Minority Leader Hakim Jeffries never even bothered to pick up the call. Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-TX) has called on House GOP leadership to remove Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) from classified briefings. “I don’t know what is more concerning,” he told FNC, “that we have members of Congress who are anti-Semites and support Hamas, or that we let them attend classified briefings.”
Furious about the leak of an early and not verified assessment of the mission’s damage, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth sent a criminal complaint to the FBI. Why was the top secret report leaked? To feed a Dem media narrative that damage to Iran was minimal. Iran, Israel and the UN Atomic Energy Agency all confirmed Trump’s strike inflicted enormous damage on Iran's nuclear progress. But don’t tell it to CNN.
The media also widely reported Iran removed tons of enriched uranimum from the Fordow site before the buster bombs crashed through the mountain. Trump said no, they were concrete trucks. Believe the builder, not the media.
Poor Dems. They have had to embrace so many new flags in the last few years.
First it was Ukraine flags, and if you didn’t have one on your car or online profile, you could be canceled. Now of course, Dems HATE forever wars so much that when US military deep-sixes Iran’s nuclear capability, they raise the Iranian flag.
After the October 7 massacre in Israel, they rallied to the Palestinian flag, many also wearing the Palestinian keffiyeh in hostility toward the only democracy in the Middle East. More recently, as activists attempted to burn LA to the ground, they discovered the Mexican flag, claiming that the city founded by the Spanish and sold to the US by Mexico after the US-Mexico War actually still belonged to Mexico.
And of course there’s always the Pride flag, which blights crosswalks and corporate logos all across America. As C3 wrote on X, “Ukraine flags. Palestine flags. China flags. Mexico flags. Iran flags. Then throw in Pride Flags. You hardly ever find Democrats waving or posting American flags. They hate this country.”
Maybe it was a bit of counter-programming that prompted President Trump put up those two huge American flags on the White House lawn. Amid all the flag waving,
In war as well as peace, in economics as well as education, Dems have adopted a Get Trump Agenda. They see everything through the prism of race, gender and globalism, not understanding that 47 is resetting the world’s alliances, and its finances, in America’s direction. He just announced an end to the Iran-Israel War. If Congress passes the One Big Beautiful Bill, it will help cement his legacy — and doom theirs.
But don’t be surprised if they keep waving any flag but ours.
