Joe Biden and his administration are scratching their heads wondering how this could’ve happened. None of them appeared to have a clue. Just last month after $6 billion was unfrozen for Iran, Donald Trump released a video statement telling them exactly what would happen. He said making this deal would Iran would destabilize the Middle East, make Israel and American citizens targets, and hurt the global economy. Now, we’re realizing again that Trump was right. Sec Blinken has reported that Americans have died in the attacks. Hamas took lots of hostages because they’re emboldened after Iran did it so successfully. Another Iran funded organization is hitting Israel from Lebanon. We’re also hearing that US weapons are being used in the fight. Biden is an utter failure. His global policy appears to be centered around how much money he can funnel back to himself and his donors. The world was a safer place with Donald Trump

.@JoeRogan and @ComicDaveSmith highlight the startling claims made by General Wesley Clark, who asserted that the U.S. government had formulated plans to attack seven Middle Eastern countries, ultimately culminating with Iran, days after the tragic events of September 11, 2001. The conversation delves into the propaganda used to justify these wars, the staggering profits amassed by weapons manufacturers—amounting to trillions of dollars—and the tragic toll of millions of innocent lives lost. "They decide they want to fight these wars. Then, they make up an excuse that they tell the American people. Then, these weapons companies rake in hundreds of billions of dollars in profits, and babies get slaughtered. That's what really happens. Innocent men, women, and children die." Today, Secretary of State Blinken warned Iran that the U.S. will respond 'decisively' to any attacks targeting U.S. personnel. This statement follows his warning, issued two days ago, that the U.S. expects increased hostilities from Iran directed at U.S. forces. The question remains: Will the Biden administration and the U.S. government finally get its war against Iran?

The Pentagon is deploying two carrier strike groups, eleven Burke-class destroyers, a number of Ticonderoga-class cruisers, amphibious assault ships, THAAD and Patriot missile defense systems, multiple squadrons of fighter jets, strategic bombers, and undisclosed assets to the Middle East. The Pentagon expects Iranian proxies to continue to target U.S. troops in the region and has already stated that they will respond "decisively." What's the probability that this escalates into a war between the United States and Iran? PENTAGON: "Between October 17th and the 24th, U.S. and coalition forces have been attacked at least ten separate times in Iraq and three separate times in Syria via a mix of one-way attack drones and rockets... We know that the groups conducting these attacks are supported by the IRGC and the Iranian regime. We are seeing the prospect for more significant escalation against U.S. forces and personnel across the region in the near term coming from Iranian proxy forces and, ultimately, from Iran. So, by virtue of our announcement over the weekend, we are preparing for this escalation, both in terms of defending our forces and responding decisively."

This is what craven provocation of war looks like. Shi'a militias have launched over a hundred fifty attacks against US bases since we killed Soleimani in 2020. Much like Israel's lobbing of missiles across the Lebanese border, this activity has been in the normal range of the Middle East's delicate status quo. The US has tolerated it, given its troops remain in Iraq, a majority Shi'a country, even after Iraq's legislature unanimously voted for US Forces to leave its territory in 2020, US Forces have killed over 300,000 civilians in Iraq and Syria, and our military operations in both countries are egregious violations of international law. Any claim that recent Shi'a militia strikes are unusual enough to justify US escalation into a potentially catastrophic regional war are fatuous chunks of red meat designed to be repeated by useful idiots. The corporate puppeteers of our war machine are revving up their money machines without a single thought for the blood that may be spilled or the calamitous damage to the global economy (and your cost of living) that may result. Until we get such corrupt influences out of govt, our only hope to keep this conflict contained is praying for the restraint of Tehran's response. You know it's time for new leadership in Washington when the current crop leave you dependent on the mullahs' good judgement to keep your country out of war. Time for a grown-up in the situation room and a return to American strength by keeping the peace. #Kennedy24 #Syria #Iran #Biden #Trump #WarMachine

Just for the record, these things did not take place under the strong leadership of President Trump. The continued weakness of the United States and its departure from the Middle East theater of influence has now proven fatal as many of us warned. Iranian backed forces have attacked yet again, the United States, which now puts it over 100 military missions against US forces. US military analyst are predicting an increase in Islamic activity against the United States and US interest worldwide as we approach January 3 and the anniversary of the elimination of terror mastermind Soleimani. It is obvious that the United States has seen her best days and that her military expeditions from here on out, could prove to be a self-inflicted wound. Weakness always breeds violence, and the United States has never been weaker. if reports are true, coming from our southern borders, then we are weaker than we could have imagine leaving us terribly vulnerable. Pray for our military, but pray, especially for a change in leadership from top to bottom for The “United” States of America https://youtu.be/qjR_0w02quU?si=IgLRmrP9Xr-L7YF7

@MPPregent - Michael P Pregent

There is a floating intelligence and targeting platform - the Behshad - manned by a designated Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) called the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) directing Houthi attacks against commercial vessels in the Red Sea. CENTCOM wants to take out this platform directing and coordinating these attacks, but the Pentagon and the White House won’t let that happen - they falsely believe that doing so would broaden the scope of the war. Those making the argument that any actions that make Tehran feel pain “will lead to war with Iran” don’t understand that THIS IS WHAT WAR WITH IRAN LOOKS LIKE - and we are letting them win. The Playbook: Iran turns up the heat through its proxies in order to get the West to make concessions that economically and militarily benefit Tehran. Iran knows better than any country that there is no better team at making concessions and ceding leverage than this WH. They know it so well because Biden's team is Obama's JCPOA/Iraq/Syria team.

As a military spouse, my heart breaks for the families who lost loved ones. This shows the barbaric nature of our enemies in Iran. And it shows that they would not be attacking our troops if Joe Biden weren't so weak in his treatment of Iran. We should retaliate with the full force of American strength. It's the only way to prevent further war. If we do not, these attacks will only continue. Join us in lifting up these heroes and their families in prayer.

@marklevinshow - Mark R. Levin

BREAKING!! I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about the lunacy of Biden’s Iran policy. Biden’s position in refusing to support Israel from taking offensive military action against Iran means that BIDEN WILL NOT SUPPORT ANY MILITARY STRIKES AGAINST IRAN’S NUCLEAR FACILITIES AND THAT IRAN WILL HAVE A FUNCTIONING NUCLEAR ARSENAL WITH WHICH TO THREATEN THE UNITED STATES, ISRAEL, THE ARAB WORLD, AND THE REST OF THE WORLD WITHOUT FEAR OF MILITARY ATTACK. The best time for Israel to hit Iran’s nuclear sites, with critical U.S. support, would’ve been now. Biden’s appeasement of Iran and intentional funding of Iran, lack of deterrence against Iran and efforts at crippling Israel’s efforts to neutralize Iran’s military and terrorist operations, ensures that Islamist-fundamentalist Iran will become a nuclear power. And once that occurs there will be few options to limit Iran’s ambitions short of a devastating confrontation with frightening risks. What will we do if Iran closes the Red Sea and other navigable waters used to transport oil? And It will also contribute even further to the firepower of the China-Russia-NK-Iran axis and cause other Middle East countries to acquire nuclear weapons. THIS is the world Biden and Blinken are creating while sanctimoniously lecturing about their efforts to de-escalate military confrontations. Again, the crucial point is that Biden has not only signaled to Iran that no effective action will be taken to stop its nuclear program but Biden has actually acted to ensure that Iran’s final path to building nuclear weapons is open and clear. That’s what is meant by no support for offensive military action against Iran. The idea that missile defenses are the answer to preventing offensive strikes against Israel or any country is lunacy. On its face it’s illogical. It’s a deterrent under certain circumstances. Maybe in many circumstances. But ultimately you don’t stop missile attacks by chasing another country’s. You stop missile attacks with certainty by destroying that country’s capacity for launching missiles and/or deterring such attacks by subjecting that country to punishing offensive military attacks. Despite Biden’s massive and current propaganda operation to the contrary, facts are facts. Furthermore, it’s beyond debate that the duplicitous Biden actually colluded with Iran through intermediaries to create the events that took place in the skies over Israel a few nights ago. And, of course, Israel was in the dark about it. (This is the same Biden regime that outrageously demands tactical approval over Israel’s battlefield decisions.) Why? Because it wouldn’t have gone along with such treachery and put its people through such a heinous subterfuge. Think about how morally corrupt, among other things, the Biden regime's actions truly are. Biden and the Iranian regime sympathizer, Blinken, coordinated with Iran over the timing, types of missiles, and even Iranian propaganda. The purpose was to prevent Israel from pulverizing Iran’s military capabilities. Indeed, the Biden regime began leaking immediately to their favorite reporters and media outlets (many of the same press sympathizes they relied on during the Obama regime to promote the Iran nuclear deal) that Israel had provoked Iran and hadn’t told the U.S. in advance about the planned attack on Iran’s terrorist compound in Damascus. Obviously, Israel didn’t forewarn Blinken because he would’ve leaked it to the media! Moreover, Israel is not obliged to get permission from Biden on how and whether to defend its people. Biden and Blinken are hostile to Israel and seek to overthrow its democratic government. They’ve repeatedly told this openly to the entire world, including the Iranians. Every one of these shocking and appalling Biden regime mobster tactics, and there are more, with the attendant scheming, plotting, leaking, usurping, and back-stabbing against a longtime essential and loyal ally, which is in a daunting and bloody war literally triggered by the insane policies of the Biden regime, is beneath contempt and a stain on America’s character and reputation as the world’s moral beacon. It is Biden and Blinken who are impulsive, ignorant, reckless, incompetent, and dangerous. It is they who’ve abandoned a rational and prudent foreign policy in pursuit of incoherent and ideologically-driven utopian ambitions. And it is they who’ve escalated military conflict on multiple continents. For them, there is no good or evil, right or wrong. Hence, they fund Iran and threaten Israel. They seek Netanyahu’s ouster and the ayatollah’s approval. Be worried. Very worried.

@JDVance - JD Vance

It has been 50 days since Kamala Harris became the presumptive nominee of the Democratic Party. In the dead of night yesterday, she finally released her campaign policy page. Here's what I think of it 🧵

@JDVance - JD Vance

⁨⁨1) Kamala Harris claims she wants to cut taxes for middle class families, but here's what's in her plan: IRS Audits for working families: Getting audited is a horrendous experience, even if you’ve done nothing wrong. Harris cast the tie-breaking vote to hire 87,000 IRS agents to audit more people. As recently as last summer, 63% of new audits fell taxpayers earning less than $200,000. The IRS, like Kamala Harris, claims that it’s not going to increase audits on people making under $400K, but the Treasury Inspector General stated the agency’s strategic plan, “did not include specifics on how the IRS was going to ensure it met this commitment.” That’s because they have no intention of ensuring they’re not going to audit middle class families—that’s where they’re going to find the money to pay for their massive spending proposals. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, under questioning in the House, could not deny that 90 percent of new audits under the IRA would be on households earning less than $400,000. The nonpartisan Government Accountability Office found that the majority of additional taxes the IRS recommended from audits from 2010-2021 came from taxpayers with income less than $200,000. It’s even harder to pretend that taxing working men and women isn’t their focus when you think about the reporting requirement Biden-Harris signed into law to require businesses to fill out a 1099K form on transactions over $600 made using third-party payment platforms. The reporting threshold before their bill was $20,000. There’s no minimum number of transactions in their bill, so a single transaction over $600 that triggers the reporting requirement creates more paperwork. Even Senate Democrats have backed different bills to blunt the impact of this enormously burdensome mandate. The Government Accountability Office found this aspect of the Harris tax record would result in at least 30 million new 1099K forms getting sent out in 2024. The Joint Committee on Taxation found that over 90 percent of the tax burden will fall on middle class families and gig workers. The Biden-Harris tax plan, as explicitly outlined in their formal budget request to Congress would increase taxes by $5 trillion. That’s going to stack on top of her inflationary climate spending bills and drag the economy down further. It’s been estimated that “the tax changes in the Biden-Harris budget would reduce long-run GDP by 1.6 percent…wages by 1.1 percent, and employment by about 666,000 full-time equivalent jobs.” That’s nearly a million people out of work and lower wages for everyone in order to shift money towards the Harris Green New Deal—as she said to CNN in her first interview after nearly a month as the Democratic nominee, her values haven’t changed on that policy, which she supported enthusiastically when she was in the Senate. All in all, the Biden-Harris record has been a massive wealth transfer from working people to the Green New Deal’s constituencies—the Harris tax plan is going to be more of the same, no matter what kind of claims she makes during the campaign.⁩

@JDVance - JD Vance

2) Kamala claims she wants to make rent more affordable and home ownership more attainable, but that's not what her plan would do at all. Kamala wants to give every first time homebuyer a $25,000 check toward downpayment assistance. What she fails to leave out is that this would likely raise the average home price by the same amount, making her plan moot. We also haven't heard how the debt-burdened federal government would pay for such a plan. There’s also no guarantee that this down payment assistance will be limited to citizens. The campaign has yet to lay out what requirements there will be, beyond being a first time homebuyer and having a two year history of rental payments. One reporter has indicated that only an SSN or taxpayer identification number will be required. If that’s true, then this would leave open the door for millions of illegal immigrants to get this assistance. And this wouldn’t be the first time housing assistance has gone to noncitizens—there are a number of federal housing subsidies that noncitizens are eligible for: including the HOME Investment Partnership Program and Treasury’s pandemic era Emergency rental assistance program. But under Kamala, the potential for assistance to go to illegals isn’t the only issue. Couple that with Kamala’s CFPB and DOJ effectively forcing banks to lend to noncitizens. They’ve rewritten guidance mandating that banks cannot deny loan applications strictly on citizenship grounds, even though citizenship and residence status bear a large impact on loan repayment prospects. Vice President Harris also mentions how she'll spur the construction of "3 million more rental units." While she outlines an admirable plan, it's tough to take it seriously. This Vice President has overseen an administration that has enacted new red tape for multi-family and single-family construction. We've seen her Housing and Urban Development Department enact green energy requirements for new rental units, mandatory strictly-cosmetic updates to public housing units, and more regulations that will make it harder to grow the rental supply. That's not the end of it. The Vice President seems to think that the ongoing housing crisis is strictly due to a supply problem, but it's not. Her policies have also driven demand for housing through the roof, particularly when looking at the price and availability of rental units. As I've outlined before, and as academic research supports, mass immigration drives up demand, threatens the American dream of homeownership, and makes housing less affordable for working Americans. When a city’s immigrant population increases, the area’s home prices and rental costs rise by a comparable amount. But the effects vary by neighborhood: home values are negatively correlated with the immigrant concentration. The result: only current homeowners in non-immigrant, wealthy neighborhoods stand to benefit from mass immigration. Working-class residents see their rental costs soar, and their home values decline. It's common sense, we can't fix our housing crisis until we address the crisis at the border.⁩

@JDVance - JD Vance

3) Vice President Harris claims she'll "take on the everyday obstacles and red tape that can make it harder to grow a small business." However, under her administration, the SEC has promulgated at least 47 rulemakings, the majority of which have not been mandated by Congress, and we've seen Treasury enact burdensome compliance regulations, with some even aimed at small businesses, like the Administration's preferred implementation of the Corporate Transparency Act. This doesn't sound like cutting red tape to me. It sounds like the opposite: enacting overbearing regulations that stifle innovation and kill job creation.

@JDVance - JD Vance

4) Kamala Harris claims she wants to make our education system a pathway to the middle class. Take it from me, a working-class kid who went to Ohio State on the GI Bill and then to Yale: education can absolutely be pathway to the American Dream. But I’m not naive enough to think that our current system works for everyone. It obviously doesn’t. Fewer than one-in-five American students goes smoothly from high school to college to a career that uses their degree. Kamala Harris doesn’t want to address these problems. Instead, she wants to double down on the failures of our education system. She wants taxpayers to write off more student loans, to increase subsidies that will only drive up tuition costs, and to send even more money to some of the worst-performing universities in the country. Here’s what I’d like to know: What will Harris say to Pennsylvania ironworkers who are upset that they have to pay for someone else’s college degree? The answer, I’m afraid, is absolutely nothing. Kamala Harris, like the rest of our education establishment, treats the majority of hard-working Americans without a college degree as an afterthought. We’re the only developed country in the world without a distinct, vocational education pathway, and yet Kamala Harris thinks the solution is to send even more money to universities.⁩

@JDVance - JD Vance

5) Kamala says she wants to invest in affordable child care, but again that's not what her plan would do: As I’ve said before, I want our public policy to increase access to affordable childcare options and empower parents with the flexibility and resources to make the best childcare decisions for their family. Harris says that she wants families to “afford high-quality child care.” That may sound nice, but as always, Harris is light on detail and heavy on slogans. What might she mean by this? It’s tough to say, but the best indication would be the national childcare plan that she’s already laid out with President Biden as par of their “Build Back Better” plan. We all know how those policies turned out: skyrocketing inflation. But the childcare provisions of their plan were so extreme that not even a Democrat-controlled Congress could pass them. They wouldn’t have worked for many American families. Most parents who use a paid childcare center say they prefer a faith-based provider. What would Harris’s plan do for them? Nothing. Childcare providers based in a house of worship would have been excluded from funding opportunities. Other faith-based providers would be subject to additional regulations in order to access funding that might not have been able to meet. Many parents prefer to stay at home with a young child or have a loved-one watch them. Would Harris’s plan support these families? Not at all. Her proposal was only supports childcare centers and would offer no support to families that prefer not to send their children to daycare. Ensuring families have access to affordable childcare is an important challenge for our policy to help tackle. But the answer cannot be to force families into Kamala’s preferred one-size-fits-all model. We can support parents and their children without leaving millions of families behind.⁩

@JDVance - JD Vance

6) Kamala Harris made it clear that she views American energy policy as a part of her wider fight against global warming. For example, she takes credit for passing the Inflation Reduction Act, which she claims lowered household energy costs while building a green energy economy. The reality of the IRA’s climate record, however, is much different. CBS News reported earlier this month that the cost of electricity has increased more than 28.5 percent since 2019, with the average American now paying nearly $300 each month just in utilities. These higher costs can be attributed to a shrinking supply of American electricity. More specifically, Harris's environmental policies have shuttered reliable coal power plants, slowed the approval of new natural gas plants and failed to enact permitting reform for American generation and transmission infrastructure. Instead, they have placed an increasing burden on less reliable sources of energy, such as solar and wind. These renewable sources are more dependent on conducive weather than coal and gas plants, which means they are most prone to failure exactly when Americans are most reliant on electricity to do things like heat their homes. Kamala’s energy policies are making Americans poorer and more vulnerable to extreme weather. As for the “new green energy economy,” let us look at the IRA’s effort to make American roads more conducive to electric vehicles. The IRA allocated $7.5 billion to build new EV charging stations along highways. In the almost two years since the IRA became law, the Biden-Harris administration has built just eight charging stations. This program is part of the wider Harris push to replace gas-powered cars with EVs, which has also fizzled. Many automakers, including Ford and General Motors, are delaying or curtailing EV rollouts amid lower-than-expected consumer demand, despite rosy predictions from administration officials and $7,500 federal tax credits to buy new EVs. Meanwhile, dealers are complaining that they cannot move the EV inventory they already have. Kamala Harris also pledges to advance “environmental justice” and pays fealty to international climate agreements. At best, the policies spawned by progressive and foreign ideologues will go the way of the EV push: billions of tax dollars wasted with American energy and auto workers left with uncertain futures. At worst, Kamala’s climate policies will increase energy costs for all Americans, degrade their standard of living with new climate mandates, leave them vulnerable to dangerous weather and make America a worse place to live. We all want cleaner air and water. What we do not want is more climate hysteria.⁩

@JDVance - JD Vance

7) Kamala Harris says she wants to secure our borders. Her record tells a different story: Harris touts her record prosecuting international criminals as California’s Attorney General. One of the reasons why California has so much migrant crime is because it is a sanctuary state that shields illegal aliens from deportation. Hence foreign criminals feel more protected in California. Another thing Attorney General Harris did as California’s AG was write a 2015 letter to the US Senate defending California’s sanctuary state policies and opposing a bill that would penalize the state’s noncooperation with federal immigration law. It is safe to assume that there would have been a lot fewer migrant criminals to prosecute in California if the state and AG Kamala had allowed ICE agents to do their jobs and deport them. Kamala Harris then claims to have supported a bipartisan border security bill that would have deployed more agents and drug scanners. I believe she is referring to Sen. Chris Murphy’s Border Act of 2024 (S.4361). What she won’t tell you is that the bill also codifies catch-and-release, allows up to 1.8 million illegals to enter before the border could be closed, gives billions of taxpayer dollars to the same NGOs that are driving the invasion and expands the executive parole powers used by Biden instead of limiting them. The bill’s author Sen. Murphy put it best when he admitted that, under his bill, “the border never closes.” I think all of that is totally unacceptable when our nation is facing a historic border crisis, which is why I and my Republican colleagues opposed it. Kamala Harris should have instead pushed for a standalone vote on new border agents and scanners. Kamala Harris also brags that, thanks to her efforts, border crossings are currently at 4-year lows. It is worth remembering that almost four years ago, on their first day in office, Biden and Harris issued executive orders that stopped border wall construction and stopped deportations. They then rescinded Trump’s Remain In Mexico policy, allowing every migrant with a dubious asylum claim to enter America while waiting in an years-long case backlog. As a direct result of these actions, America endured consecutive months record-breaking illegal immigration. Only once their Border Act was rejected, and border security consistently polled as a top concern of voters, did Biden and Harris issue orders that give the appearance that they care about illegal border crossings. She cannot take credit for nominally lower border crossing numbers after she spent almost four years holding the border wide open. But the most destructive part of the Kamala Harris border plan is where she says that she wants to give her 8.5+ million illegal aliens an “earned pathway to citizenship,” which means rewarding illegal aliens with amnesty and the right to vote in our next election. Promising amnesty and citizenship will create a gigantic magnet for illegal immigration that will entice people around the world to race across our borders. If there’s a takeaway from this section, it’s that Kamala opened our borders to 8.5+ million illegal aliens, lied about it for almost four years, blamed others when she got caught and now wants to reward those illegals with citizenship.⁩

@JDVance - JD Vance

8) Kamala Harris has said she wants to support veterans and their families. She has completely failed to do so as Vice President: Right from the beginning, Biden and Harris charted a bad course, putting U.S. soldiers in harm's way. In Afghanistan, as the situation turned chaotic in 2021, a lot more could and should have been done to keep our people safe. People on the ground warned Biden and Harris - through a dissent channel cable - that the situation would get chaotic. The administration didn't listen. And so when the time came to move our people out of Kabul, we ended up running the operation out of Kabul's own airport, right in the city. It was chaos, and ISIS terrorists exploited that chaos to murder 13 U.S. service members at Abbey Gate on August 26, 2021. And the thing that gets me is this: Kamala Harris never once bothered to pick up the phone and call those families. Kamala Harris never once supported an investigation into the decisions that led to Abbey Gate. If Kamala Harris cared about veterans, she would have demanded accountability. She didn't. I think our veterans and their families deserve a genuine investigation into what happened at Abbey Gate. That's about accountability, yes, but it's also about making sure it doesn't happen again. The same mistakes that led to our losing people at Abbey Gate were repeated again and again and again. At Tower 22 in Jordan on January 28, 2024, we lost three service members to a drone launched by an Iran-backed militia. Different time, different place, different enemy - but a lot of the same mistakes. By that time, our forces had been under fire in Syria and Iraq dozens, hundreds of times since October 7 - and we weren't shooting back. The situation was chaotic, we weren't in control, it was only a matter of time before our people paid the price. Take your pick of military operations under this administration - from the pier to nowhere in Gaza to the Red Sea operation against Houthi militants, the common thread running through them is our soldiers get thrown into situations where they are sitting ducks, where they very often come to serious harm, with no serious thought given to how we're going to get the other side to stop shooting at us. That absolutely has to stop, and it will stop under President Trump. When Russian forces attacked us in Syria on President Trump's watch, we killed them. When we took on ISIS in the Middle East, we destroyed them. Our goal should never be to send our troops into harm's way as some kind of symbol of resolve. We send our troops in to win. That's how it should be.⁩

Today @SecDef confirmed that Iran’s terrorist regime is actively working towards a nuclear weapon. For the sake of our national security, the security of our allies, and millions of civilians in the region this cannot be allowed to happen.

Iran must never be allowed to obtain a usable nuclear weapon. The Mullahs in Tehran refused to dismantle their nuclear program. Now it must be destroyed. Our prayers and unwavering support are with Israeli Forces. America Stands With Israel🇺🇸🇮🇱

From June 9th until last night we went from "Israel can handle this on their own" to US B-2's dropping bombs directly on Iran. Every step of the way both the Israelis and the Trump administration lied to both the Iranians and the American people It is quite clear to me that Iran did not want war with America. They talked tough but tried everything not to escalate with us. Including a rather tepid response even after Trump took out Soleimani in 2020. Given the constant escalations from the Trump admin I'd be shocked if Iran doesn't realize they must fight back in order to increase domestic pressure in the US. This likely means shutting down Hormuz and hammering American bases in the region. If US troops are killed this will immediately shift to a full-on regime change war. Likely the plan all along. This isn't peace through strength. It is war by deception. Which happens to be Mossad's motto

The woke right is an obscure, vague label whose use surged after Oct 7, shifting from a descriptor to a strategic target. The focus is on who uses it and why. Jonathan Greenblatt of the ADL says: "the issue in The United States support for Israel is not left and right. It is young and old." He adds: "a TikTok problem, a Gen Z problem," and identifies fringes—“the woke right”—fomenting antisemitism. JT Lonsdale of Palantir calls it "the new woke right" and notes "There’s Islamist bot accounts online" pretending to be on the right. Matt Brooks warns: "If we lose the Republican party, Israel has nobody." Netanyahu is said to be "the only head of government, the only leader of a nation, to use the term woke right unironically in this manner." The host asks, "Is the astroturfing of the term woke right a foreign influence operation being peddled by the Israeli government? That's exactly what it looks like." Patrick Casey says "the woke right crusade has already failed" and that the term should be avoided by right-of-center voices.

Speaker 0: Tonight, I want to focus on an obscure concept that has made its way into political discourse in the recent years. I'm talking about the woke right. What is it? I wish I could actually tell you. The main critique of this term is that it's, in fact, vague, amorphous, and bends to the will of the person who uses it, usually to attack or smear someone as too radical or too right wing in their thoughts or ideas. Lots of ink has been spilled over the last year as to warn readers of the scourge of the woke right and how it's especially popular amongst young people, particularly young men. Niche and obscure academics have used the term sparsely since 2021, though its use really took off after 10/07/2023 when the Israel Gaza conflict reignited. Many people started using the term to describe a very small but very vocal segment of the online right that could be considered anti Semitic. But the term didn't just stay to that small segment. As I had mentioned, the meaning of the term is vague and amorphous, thus the targets of the term also started to resemble nothing close to who this term was originally used to label. So I don't want to focus on what it means or who has been smeared with that label. Instead, I want to focus on who is using it and for what purpose. The main concern after October 7 was that young Americans' opinions and sentiments towards Israel was sinking fast. CEO of the Anti Defamation League, Jonathan Greenblatt, stated as much in this leaked audio with his donors and board members. Speaker 1: But I also wanna point out that we have a major, major, major generational problem. All the polling I've seen, ADLs polling, ICC's polling, independent polling suggests this is not a left right gap, folks. The issue in The United States support for Israel is not left and right. It is young and old. And the numbers of young people looking to come on this, you know, massacre was justified as shockingly and terrifyingly high. And so we really have a TikTok problem, a Gen Z problem. Speaker 0: A generational problem, not left or right. A TikTok problem, a Gen Z problem. Greenblatt sounds terrified. So, what to do? How does one solve this sentiment issue around Israel when talking about America's younger generation? Well, fast forward a year later, and here's Greenblatt on MSNBC with a new song he's eager to sing. Speaker 2: What I'm focused on, really, are how the fringes, like the woke right, the Tucker Carlsons, the Steve Bannons, the Candace Owens, and the sort of radical left, the Hassan Pikers, and people like Mehdi Hassan, unfortunately. Max Blumenthal have been fomenting antisemitism, blaming this war on the Jews or the Zionists or the neocons. And I think that kind of classic antisemitism, I find very troubling. Speaker 0: Sounds like Greenblatt has found his new crusade. The push to mainstream this term and concept doesn't stop there, of course. Here's JT Lonsdale, cofounder of Palantir, going on CNBC to push the same line during the twelve day war. Speaker 3: I don't understand what this new woke right's doing. I think we've actually shown that the vast majority of the right does not want them to have a nuke and supports that activity. There's a lot of Islamist bot accounts online right now trying to pretend that they're on the right, that they're against doing this, but Speaker 4: They're they're right now. The new what you think what he is describing is the new woke right. I heard. Yeah. Does the new woke right is that is Steve Bannon and Yeah. And Tucker Carlson part of that? Speaker 3: Those guys are part of it, and a bunch of Pakistani accounts online pertaining to be Christians are part of it. Speaker 0: Lonsdale founded Palantir with Alex Karp, the same Alex Karp that bragged about Palantir doing this. Speaker 5: We built PG, which single handedly stopped, the rise of the far right in in in Europe. Speaker 0: Proud of stopping the right wing in Europe? How did that turn out, by the way? Because it looks like a cutscene from a Elder Scrolls video game as we speak. Make sure to thank Alex Karp for hellish scenes like this coming out of Scotland since he's so eager to take credit for stopping the only people who could have prevented this scene from happening. What do you think Palantir intends to do to the right in America, by the way? I shudder to think. It doesn't stop with Lonsdale or Carp either. Matt Brooks, CEO of the Republican Jewish Coalition and allegedly American political organization, has declared war on the woke right because he sees it as an existential threat not to America, but to Israel. Speaker 5: The bigger issue, and this is something that I've spent a lot of time thinking about and I'm to prime minister Netanyahu and others about, is the threat from the woke right is existential. And by that I mean if we don't combat the woke right now and if it follows the trajectory of what happened in the Democratic Party and gets a foothold and ultimately becomes the mainstream of the Republican Party, there is no party and nobody in politics to support Israel. Israel will be alone. Without a strong pro Israel Republican party, there is no support for Israel. If we lose the Republican party, Israel has nobody. Those voices on the woke right have got to know that you if you are MAGA, you are also pro Israel. And if you wanna try and argue that Israel is not an ally and Israel is a liability, well, let me just tell you, you're gonna have to go through the Republican Jewish coalition first. Speaker 0: And rest assured, that concept has made its way all the way to the top of Israel's leadership. Speaker 6: If you're telling me that there's work to be done on Gen Z and across the West, yes. And by the way, it's not only our our job. We are, as your colleague Douglas Murray has said, we're the litmus test for the survival of the West because these people are against the West. They're not for the West, they're against the West. And there's the horseshoe effect of the walk left meeting the walk right and challenging the basic precepts of Western civilization. And I think that has to be challenged not merely by Israel or by me, but by you. And I know that you're doing it, and I wanna commend you for doing it. Speaker 4: Well, we've certainly been challenging the woke right. Speaker 0: Is incredibly important to note that Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu is the only head of government, the only leader of a nation, to use the term woke right unironically in this manner. No other world leader has mentioned or uttered this term. None. Not even President Trump. Netanyahu gives the game away right there. That this is about America's Gen Z. This is about their sentiments towards Israel. And that combating the woke right will determine the West's survival. I want to say that it is highly inappropriate for the leader of a foreign nation to not only comment on the domestic politics of Americans, but then also incite rage and foment anger among our fellow Americans in response to domestic politics he doesn't like. It is not okay for foreign leaders to try and divide Americans for their own political interests. I have to ask, is the astroturfing of the term woke right a foreign influence operation being peddled by the Israeli government? That's exactly what it looks like. I know many countries try to influence our domestic politics China, Russia, and the like. Guess what? They are all labeled as our adversaries and enemies. This is not the behavior we expect of our allies. Some might even say our greatest ally. If Bibi and Israel do not want to be accused of interfering with America's internal politics, then they need to stop doing exactly that. I don't think Israel came up with this woke right concept, but I do think that they cynically co opted it for their national interests and now want to use it to drive a wedge in not just American domestic politics, but particularly to divide up and destroy the MAGA right. This is not the type of behavior an ally of The United States should be engaging in. The only thing that Israel should be concerned with is if it has good relations with the American government, not particular factions within America. And so a word of advice to BB and Israel. Americans know you have a you have big issues to resolve right in your own backyard, and we hope you bring the problems you face to a swift end. But when it comes to American domestic politics, listen to our founding father, Ben Franklin, and just mind your business. Joining me now is the man who wrote a piece for Chronicles magazine declaring the woke right crusade has already failed. He's the writer and host of Restoring Order, Patrick Casey. So what do you think, Patrick? Do I have a case here? Has this term woke right been co opted by the Israeli government, and are there others who have done the same by just co opting it for their own purposes? Speaker 4: Sure. Well, thank you for having me on. I to answer your question, I think that a lot of different people who have have who have, problems with the direction that the right is moving in have gravitated toward this term woke right. First of all, I think that the term is completely ridiculous. I think that, you know, there are some elements of of kind of like the extreme fringe right that are I certainly want nothing to do with, that are, you know, all they do is whine and they say ridiculous things, and, you know, maybe they do really hate Jews, and that's all they wanna talk about. But it's it's worth pointing out that the guy, as far as I can tell, came up with the term or at the very least pioneered it, popularized it. James Lindsay is referring to far more than just like some extreme freaks, the the outer edges of the right. You know, James Lindsay is someone that has made it very clear that no critique of liberalism is to be allowed. That anyone who is critiquing liberalism is therefore guilty of of being part of this this woke right. And the the point that I'm getting at here is that I understand there's some people that either stuff I see on the right that I that I disagree with, people should be very careful about using this term because it applies to a lot more. And in fact, James Lindsay has applied it to Ioram Hazoni, who's an Israeli nationalist. You know, this is saying that he's more loyal to Israel than than America and things like this. So it's when you use a term that someone else has created and basically owns, you're picking up a lot of baggage and you might not be aware of it. So when it comes to Netanyahu, yeah, of course, he he definitely sees that there is declining popularity and support for Israel in America, even even on the right, not just on the left. And so I don't think he really knows any of that. I think someone just told him this is a good term that you should use to talk about people right of center who are critical of Israel. But it's just definitely a term that anyone who regardless of honestly, regardless of of their position on Israel, anyone right of center who's like a real Trump supporter, a real nationalist, real conservative should just not be using whatsoever.

We should be arming the protesters in Iran. NOW. For the Iranian people to overthrow the Ayatollah—a tyrant who routinely chants “death to America”—would make America much, much safer.

🚨 URGENT WARNING: A U.S. Strike on Iran Would Be CATASTROPHIC for American interests. Andrei Martyanov lays it bare: “If the United States attacks Iran... (There would be) American casualties," and Israel itself will suffer serious losses. Even if the United States were to unleash “2,000 Tomahawks” against Iran, it would have minimal effect, because the country is so vast and important assets spread so wide. Plus, Martyanov warns, Iran will impose serious repercussions; they will not go quietly into the night. Even killing leaders like Khamenei? “He becomes a martyr. And Iranian people... they will fight back.” No one knows Iran's full capabilities—but the fallout could devastate the region and result in serious casualties for U.S. forces. This is not hype; it is military reality.

@ArmchairW - Armchair Warlord

Well. War with Iran it is. I had hoped it would not come to this juncture, but here we are. Some thoughts after the day's fighting.⬇️ 1. As an initial matter, the Trump Administration's actions here are aggression and perfidy. This attack on Iran was unprovoked and occurred during negotiations in which the Iranians were by all indications willing to make significant and lasting concessions to assuage American and Israeli concerns about the peaceful nature of their nuclear program. Soon enough we will regret setting this precedent. 2. US and Israeli forces appear to have achieved tactical surprise by launching a limited decapitation strike first against senior figures in the Iranian regime. The measure of performance of the strike - did they hit what and whom they intended to hit - is currently the subject of... significant debate. The measure of effectiveness of the strike - did it dislocate the Iranian defensive response or cause panic and infighting in the regime - was negative. The Iranian military deliberately cleared what was at the time an airspace crowded with civilian traffic, brought air defenses online, and began launching retaliatory strikes about an hour later. 2A. The Iranians only brought their air defenses online after their airspace was clear of civilian traffic, suggesting they felt confident in their ability to absorb a limited first strike and also indicating that they very much wanted to avoid repeating Ukraine International Airlines Flight 752 with wild defensive fire. 3. Iran has thus far had some success penetrating US and Israeli missile defenses on the far side of the Middle East and considerable success smashing up US bases (and local critical infrastructure) in the Gulf and Iraq with their plentiful arsenal of short-range missiles and cruise drones. There's nothing really new and game-changing here from the Twelve Day War, as I pointed out earlier. They have a lot of missiles and drones and seem more than happy to contest with us on throw-weight. 4. As I pointed out earlier, the considerable standoff that US and Israeli aircraft are operating from has wrecked sortie generation. Coalition strikes on Iran throughout the day have been remarkably modest following the initial wave of attacks, likely due to a combination of delay from forced refueling, disruption to remote bases due to Iranian missile attacks, forced use of standoff weapons due to Iranian AD coverage, and Iranian AD attriting incoming salvos. Effects have not been particularly impressive either - I've seen a grand total of two strikes with noticeable secondaries. 4A. As long as the Iranian IADS network remains intact enough to deter Coalition forces from flying "downtown" into Iranian airspace proper, there's very hard limits on the amount of coercive power that can actually be applied to Iran. We only have so many standoff missiles and don't have a Russo-Chinese missile printer to call upon. And I remind the reader that our bigger and stronger adversaries (Russia and China) are very invested in ensuring that IADS network remains intact so as to preserve their ally. 5. There has been no noticeable regime fracture or civil insurrection in Iran. Everyone in the regime seems to have fallen in line immediately and all the demonstrations in Iran through the day have been pro-government. This is to be expected - the Iranians have not only rehearsed this, they've had multiple repetitions of executing it over the past year. 6. Mossad's attack network in Iran seems to be well and truly dismembered - as I suggested it had been earlier. There have been no reports of commando or insurgent activity in Iran over the course of the day. The Iranian internet is shut down at the moment and nobody seems to be posting online via Starlink. 7. Oil shock is a real prospect here. The Strait of Hormuz is closed. The Bab al-Mandeb is likely going to be interdicted soon by the Houthis. Iran has already begun limited strikes on oil and gas infrastructure in the region. Air and missile campaigns are inherently indecisive, and Americans are not going to tolerate a weeks or monthslong campaign that spikes oil to $150+/barrel. 8. Claims are floating around - out of Israel, of course - that this entire affair was a scheme cooked up by Trump and Netanyahu and that the negotiations were always a sham. I suspect that isn't the case, and that Trump was herded into action by Netanyahu threatening to attack unilaterally after the US "coercive task force" was finally fully assembled in the Gulf. So how does this end? Well, Trump has been quite explicit that he's aiming for a short war (probably trying to beat the markets), so I wouldn't be surprised if this is over relatively quickly. On whose terms... well, that's another matter altogether.
