Batya, how great thou art...

Permission far an analogy?

When I am cooking up some dinner and the pickins are slim in the larder or chill box, I resort to

Slerm. Slerm is everything I can get into a pot and make it reasonable to eat. I am good at it.

This is the Dem approach. Grab anything and toss it in the pot. The media gorge themselves on it. It resonates in the Dem echo chamber. Details, measurements, ingredients matter not a wit to them. It's almost a food fight at this point

SLERM haha love it

The problem is all of their slerm tastes like shit. But they and their lemmings will slurp it up and say: Please leaders , may we have some more.

Seems POTUS DJT has pulled a Sun Tzu move; he’s economically body slammed China. This would appear to take the major potential flashpoint- Taiwan - off the table. Instead of confronting the issue head on: will the U.S. stand for/commit troops to/send Navy to support/go to war for Taiwan he has side stepped all this entirely by taking the means by which China would make a move on Taiwan off the table.

As Sun Tzu said, the best war is won is that which you don’t fight. This is unparalleled brilliance. Any tête-à-tête vis-a-vis the Chinese would probably go nuclear within a very short time so - for the world - this is a win-win.

He’s also knee-capped the Russians economically as well & it doesn’t end there; if the mullahs are kicked to the curb in Iran there goes funding for Hamas/IslamicJihad/any terrorist organization.

If all this holds - & an Iran turn around is successful - we’re dealing with possibly the greatest presidential admin in history.

Bar none.

Thank you Ma’dame! That’s high praise coming from you! I would be remiss in not rounding out/pointing out the fact that DJT had already decapitated Venezuela, from which China also received a sizable supply of oil. China appears to be over a barrel - literally. And Cuba - also dependent on Venezuelan oil - could see their communist dictatorship finally implode.

Perhaps I was ahead of the curve; just turned on Glenn Beck & he’s talking about some column in Politico saying - essentially- the same thing.

Agreed!!

I hope you are going to be on Megyn Kelly’s show soon because she needs to hear this!

Wouldn't it be nice if now that the military action was taken, instead of Congress crying, they actually put both houses fully behind the liberation of Iran. Take a vote, but make it a vote to declare war on the old regime, and peace on the new government of Iran.

Sure it would. Which universe do you live in? Pigs would fly first. 😉

Now that you say that, it makes me think the President should ask for this exact vote.

Make it another "stand if you support American citizens..." moment.

In addition to accomplishing many good things for Iran’s people and for global peace, Trump’s actions are also confounding our domestic enemies, which is always icing on the cake for me 🎂

Probably the biggest effect is that the belief that the US will do anything, absorb any insult, tolerate all and any threats to avoid military action has been refuted. Prior to Trump, the entire world expected nothing but appeasement from the US. If you don't stand up to a bully, you will take beatings continually. Trump is standing up to them. Reality is dawning.

It bugs me how Trump asserts three purposes of this campaign, when in fact there appear to be four or five.

The Daily Telegraph reported yesterday that China gets 23% of its oil from Iran and 7% from Venezuela.

People of low IQ (Demtoids) can’t do more than one task or follow a multi function operation. Not their fault it’s a matter of intelligence.

If Trump can use an action to accomplish multiple goals, that's just smart.

In case you're wondering we have BDS here in Israel. Between the leftist politicians (fortunately not all but many at the moment) and the leftist media one gets an extremely distorted view of popular opinion. Similar to TDS.
