A few key takeaways from earlier today from President Trump and his team:

▪️ We have destroyed Iran’s military capabilities in recent weeks.

▪️ This is a display of power and capabilities the world has never seen.

▪️ We are crushing their missiles and their production capabilities-their navy is gone. We are eliminating close to 90% of their launchers.

▪️ We have destroyed most of the missile and drone factories.

▪️ Iran is begging to make a deal-not me.

▪️ They are poor fighters but good negotiators.

▪️ I don’t know if we’ll reach a deal.

▪️ The Iranians are sick, and they had a plan to take over the entire Middle East.

▪️ Their navy has been sunk, their air force is gone, and all of their air defense capabilities are gone.

▪️ These Iranians are sick, even satanic people.

▪️ Britain has disappointed me greatly-so has NATO.

▪️ We would come to NATO’s aid-they are not coming to ours.

▪️ Now they all want to help-they should have come before the war, not now.

▪️ I told them, “Thank you very much, but it’s not necessary.”

▪️ Britain’s aircraft carriers are toys compared to what we have.

▪️ 154 Iranian ships are now at the bottom of the sea.

▪️ Iran has been defeated. There is no way for them to recover from this. They now have an opportunity to make a deal.

▪️ We’ll see if I can make the right deal-open the Strait of Hormuz.

▪️ They have an opportunity to permanently give up their nuclear ambitions.

▪️ Iran must reach an agreement or face continued American attacks.

▪️ As far as Iran is concerned-we will continue doing what we are doing.

▪️ This war is a test for NATO-the United States will remember this.

▪️ The Supreme Leader is no longer with us. It’s very sad-we should have prevented him from blowing up the world.

▪️ These people will kill as many Americans as they can when they have the opportunity, and if they obtain nuclear weapons, they could kill millions of Americans. That is a risk that should not be allowed to continue as long as we have this president. – Marco Rubio

▪️ We’ll see where things are going-whether we can convince Iran that there is no better alternative than a deal. – Steve Witkoff

▪️ There are strong signs that a deal can be reached. – Steve Witkoff

▪️ Here is a fact you’re not hearing on your networks: many of the Iranian factories and military bases we are systematically destroying were funded by piles of American cash that Barack Obama flew into Tehran. – Pete Hegseth

▪️ We welcome a deal, and we have the ultimate dealmaker to achieve it-but in the meantime, as I said yesterday, the Department of War will continue negotiating with bombs. – Pete Hegseth

▪️ Reporter: “Will you go in and take the uranium?”

▪️ Answer: “Let’s just say-whether yes or no-why would you think I’d answer that? It’s a ridiculous question. It’s not like I’m going to tell you ‘tomorrow at 3.’”

▪️ When I heard the German Chancellor say, “This is not our war,” I respond: “Ukraine is not our war.”

▪️ I’m considering canceling the federal fuel excise tax.

HOLY SMOKES!! Sec. Marco Rubio just delivered a mic drop moment in the Cabinet room

“What I’m talking about is not the people of Iran. The people that run this country are RADICAL, SHIA CLERICS. These are religious FANATICS. Look what they are doing now at their WEAKEST point!”

“This is the weakest Iran has ever been, and look at what they’re doing. They’re attacking embassies. They’re attacking hotels. Imagine what these people would do if they had a nuclear weapon!”

“That is an unacceptable risk for the world. By the way, the president’s not just doing a favor to the United States and to our people. This is for the world!”

“He defined very clearly on the first night of this operation what the goal was. We were going to destroy Iran’s navy, and that is happening. We were going to, if it hasn’t already happened, I’ll let Pete speak to the specifics of it, we were going to destroy their missile launching capabilities.”

“We’re well on our way to achieving that goal. We were going to destroy the factory so they couldn’t make more missiles and more drones. And that is moving forward.”

“Every single objective the president clearly laid out on the first night of this operation is being effectuated.”

“For 47 YEARS, Iran has been killing Americans and attacking Americans across this planet. And other presidents had an opportunity to DO something about it, and they all warned about how Iran was dangerous, but they refused to act.”

“And THIS president’s not someone that’s going to refuse to act. He’s not going to leave a danger like this in place. He’s going to address it, and that is what he is doing.”

You make us PROUD, MARCO 🇺🇸

WOW! Truth Bomb

Rare moment of truth at the UN from brave Kuwaiti dissident Jasem Aljuraid, invited by UN Watch:

Mr. Chair,

I heard the term “colonizers.” But who are the real colonizers? A Jewish Kingdom ruled in Judea for a thousand years. We, the Arabs, took this land.

Who Arabized Egyptians, Phoenicians, Persians and Amazighs? It was us, the Arabs.

So why does the council enshrine a lie by keeping a permanent agenda item on Palestine, while ignoring the indigenous heart of Israel returning home?

Let us be clear about who is actually defending our sovereignty. Today, Israel is a fighter for peaceful nations, freeing Gaza from Hamas and saving Iranians from the Islamic Republic.

What Israel is doing to the IRGC — stopping a genocidal regime from acquiring nuclear weapons — is a gift to humanity.

There are 57 Islamic countries and only one Jewish state, Israel. Despite the ongoing hateful desire to eliminate it, Israel has not only survived, it has thrived.

I don’t believe in miracles, but this is one.

So I ask the UN: when will you end the ritual of condemning Israel?

Is it not time, instead, to learn from Israel? How to defeat terror, defend free societies, and pursue peace.

Thank you.

(UN Watch)

I hope he survives, however there are more Arab states that privately understand this reality. Iran is not a friend of anyone except terror groups. Saudi Arabia and other somewhat “moderate” states understand Israel has no intention in their destruction. They do fear Iran as witnessed by their missile and drone attacks. Rh

It’s Not Israel

The mantra from the woke right, and also the Luciferian left is about how we are beholden to Israel and that Netanyahu has pushed Trump into war. Forget the fact we have been partners for decades, and they (Israel) are the only democratic country in the Middle East that doesn’t support or fund terrorist. Oh but, they say we give Israel money. We give everyone money, the difference is that Israel promotes our values. They also buy great quantities of weaponry back from us. That helps our economy as well. Does anyone seriously think Trump can be manipulated so easily? If someone pushed Trump to do anything he didn’t want, he would bow up and refuse.

Middle Eastern countries have also realized the depth of evil that is Iran. Diplomatic back channels have shown support to the US to do away with the present regime in Iran. Saudi Arabia and Qatar are two of the most important countries to wish Iran’s nuclear threat gone. Rh

Trump Statement

President Trump:

I am pleased to report that the United States of America and the country of Iran have had, over the last two days, very good and productive conversations regarding a complete and total resolution of our hostilities in the Middle East. Based on the tenor and tone of these in-depth, detailed, and constructive conversations, which will continue throughout the week, I have instructed the Department of War to postpone any and all military strikes against Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure for a five-day period, subject to the success of the ongoing meetings and discussions.

Thank you for your attention to this matter!

President Donald J. Trump

Interesting, who blinks first?  Obviously Iran needs a deal regardless of what they may put out for public consumption.  Trump has declared to destroy oil infrastructure soon.  Don’t think Trump is bluffing, but obviously complete and total surrender with the US getting all the processed uranium out of Iran might just stop this war.  America has to make sure Iran is defeated and can not develop more nuclear material or work on ballistic missiles.  That should be a given.

Following Trump’s announcement of talks, markets reacted immediately. Oil prices dropped by 8%, but futures rose by 2-3%.

The back and forth continues. Please Trump don’t stop until you have all the objectives accomplished,  Don’t Bush this wart, by stopping too soon and have issues in the future!

  • Fars News Agency quotes an Iranian source: “There are no direct or indirect negotiations with Trump. He backed down after hearing our threats.”  Not sure if true or not, but Iran is notorious for lying about talks and negotiations.  So take it for what it is.
  • Reuters: Washington updated Israel on its talks with Tehran, and Israel is likely expected to follow the US and suspend any attacks on power plants and energy infrastructure in Iran.

Trump on Iran

  • “Well, they’re gonna have to get themselves better public relations people. We’ve had very strong talks. Mr Witkoff and Kushner had them. They went perfectly.” – Trump on Iran denying that any talks happened.
  • Trump: “If we have a deal with Iran, we will go down to the nuclear facilities and take the uranium ourselves”. 
  • We want no enrichment, and we also want the enriched uranium.
  • If this happens, it is a great start for Iran to build itself back.
  • We want the nuclear dust. We’re going to want that, and I think we’re going to get that. 
  • We’ve agreed to that—yeah, we’re going to; we’ve agreed to that.

Well there you have, it if Trump is telling the truth he just doubled down on his requirements to end the war.  I have no reason to doubt him, but….remember Iran is a bunch of lying extremists.  Their religion allows them to lie for the greater good of Islam.  Stay tuned.  Rh

Long Range Iranian Missiles: Trump Vindicated On Going To War

Under the “watchful and ever vigilant”, sarcasm alert, eye of the international community, Iran has far surpassed what all the experts declared they were capable of doing.  The launch toward Diego Garcia was telling.  The International Atomic Energy Commission, UN, fleckless and worthless diplomats and Presidents declared Iran was not a threat.  Let’s play nice with them and they won’t bother us, wrong!!  Or as Obama did let’s send them pallets of money. After all, bribery is done best under democratic administrations.  This  group of despots and thugs are out to take over.  Their very ideological view is Jihad, struggle and kill the infidel, namely anyone who doesn’t agree with the view on the world.  Iran has practiced the art of delay and compromise all the while spending billions on terror group proxies and underground missile production.  Rh

If the Diego Garcia strike report is accurate, then one of the central assumptions about Iran’s missile program has just collapsed. For years, the accepted ceiling was around 2,000 kilometers. A ballistic missile reaching Diego Garcia suggests something in the neighborhood of 4,000 kilometers, which pushes it out of the medium-range category and into the intermediate-range class (IRBM). That is a strategic leap.

The real story is not whether the missile was intercepted. It is that Iran may have demonstrated reach far beyond what much of the world believed it possessed. A 4,000-kilometer capability changes the map. Major European capitals begin to enter the conversation. Paris comes into range. London moves much closer to the edge of vulnerability depending on launch point and payload. This would mean the missile threat is no longer confined to the Gulf, Israel, or parts of South Asia. It would mean the radius of deterrence, defense, and fear has expanded dramatically. If confirmed, Diego Garcia was not just a target. It was a message.

Iranian sources claim they launched two missiles toward Diego Garcia – at a distance of roughly 4,000 km. Assuming these reports are accurate, several conclusions can be drawn:

1 – The launch is largely a message to Europe: “Almost your entire continent is within range of our missiles – including Western Europe.”

This comes after several European countries signaled willingness to send naval forces to help reopen the Strait of Hormuz – though no final decision has been made.

2 – The Iranians are likely closer than previously assessed to achieving an ICBM capability – a long-range ballistic missile that could threaten the U.S. East Coast and major population centers such as New York, Washington, and Boston.

This was a central factor in Trump’s decision to enter the campaign – and it has now been reinforced.

3 – Iran’s capability at these ranges remains limited – no missile hit its target.

According to the Wall Street Journal, one failed and fell short, while another triggered the launch of an SM-3 interceptor from a U.S. destroyer. It is still unclear whether the interception was successful or if that missile also failed independently.

4 – It is possible Iran used Khorramshahr-4 missiles with a reduced warhead to extend range – lowering payload weight and increasing fuel capacity.

The original warhead of the Khorramshahr is very large – around 1,500 kg – allowing significant flexibility in weight-range tradeoffs.

This is one of Iran’s most advanced missile systems – though they are believed to possess only a limited number.

Earlier this week, a Khorramshahr missile was launched toward Israel for the first time in the current campaign.

Update

Europe is STUNNED after realizing Trump was right, many of their capital cities may be in range of Iranian ballistic missiles after they targeted Diego Garcia

Cities that could be at risk include

– London

– Berlin

– Paris

– Munich

– Rome

– Oslo

I am sure congratulations will be forthcoming from the European Union.

The Signals Are All Pointing In The Same Direction: Victor Davis Hanson

𝗩𝗗𝗛: 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗦𝗜𝗚𝗡𝗔𝗟𝗦 𝗔𝗥𝗘 𝗔𝗟𝗟 𝗣𝗢𝗜𝗡𝗧𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗦𝗔𝗠𝗘 𝗗𝗜𝗥𝗘𝗖𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡.

Victor Davis Hanson has spent fifty years studying how wars end. When he says the tide is turning, it’s worth listening to why.

His argument isn’t based on what the Pentagon is saying. It’s based on how everyone else is behaving.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗘𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗻𝘀. VDH’s rule: Europeans never agree to go anywhere near a conflict unless they think the winning side has already been determined. They didn’t help in the early days. Now they’re starting to move. That movement is not idealism. It’s a calculation. They’ve looked at the battlefield and decided which way this ends.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗚𝘂𝗹𝗳 𝗽𝗲𝘁𝗿𝗼-𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀. The Saudis, the Emiratis, the Qataris — these governments have survived for generations by reading the regional climate with precision. When they expel Iranian military attachés, when they intercept Iranian missiles over their own capitals and say nothing about American strikes, when the UAE reaffirms its $1.4 trillion investment commitment to the United States mid-war — they are not making ideological statements. They are placing bets. And they are betting on the United States.

𝗔𝗹 𝗝𝗮𝘇𝗲𝗲𝗿𝗮. This is the one that should stop you cold. Al Jazeera — the Qatari state media network, historically critical of American military action, the network Tucker Carlson and the anti-war right love to cite against Israel — is now calling the U.S. bombing campaign brilliant and effective, and saying it has been underestimated. When the media outlet of a nation that hosts both the largest American air base in the Middle East and a Hamas political office starts praising American military effectiveness, the message is unmistakable: 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬 𝘸𝘦’𝘳𝘦 𝘨𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘸𝘪𝘯.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗮𝗹. A-10 Warthogs and Apache helicopter gunships are now flying strike missions in Iranian airspace at will. VDH’s point: you only deploy those aircraft when there is effectively no air defense left to threaten them. They are slow, low-flying, close-support platforms. Their presence confirms what the Pentagon has been claiming — Iran has no meaningful air defense remaining.

Iran’s strategy now is rope-a-dope. Run out the clock. Wait for American public opinion to shift. Hope the midterms create political pressure on Trump to stop. It is the only play they have left.

VDH’s conclusion: if Trump sees it through — and he believes he will — the regime falls. Not in years. 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝘁𝘁𝘆 𝘀𝗼𝗼𝗻.

𝗪𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗱𝗼, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝘀𝗮𝘆. 𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗻 𝗔𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮.

Great points! This guy is very intelligent, I think he is right over the target with his commentary. Rh

Updates and Analysis: MAGA – Iran- Hormuz

Below are a couple of posts of interest to me at least, hope you enjoy them. Both are accredited, and also a repost from Amir Tsarfati. Hormuz must be stabilized to keep the objectives of this military action on track. Extremely high gas prices are most likely the only thing that will derail final and completed objectives. The MIddle East is changing and so also the world pecking order. America is back in dominance, as it should be. God Bless America, and pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Living in truly “Prophetic Times”. Rh

Tucker Carlson’s Failure — Trump’s Knockout

Various interesting polls point to a clear trend:

A. There is no “split” within the MAGA camp — on the contrary, there is an almost Soviet-level consensus around Trump and his decision to strike Iran.

B. The war in Iran is not hurting Republicans ahead of the midterm elections — it is actually strengthening them.

Here are the data (to be detailed in follow-up posts):

1. NBC poll: One hundred percent support among MAGA supporters for Trump. Yes — 100%. This figure was also echoed by CNN.

In other words, two networks highly hostile to Trump present a president who has complete control over his base.

The share of people identifying with MAGA has also grown since the election.

2. Republican poll (New York Post): Who do you identify with — Trump or Carlson and Megyn Kelly?

The result is decisive: Trump 84%, Carlson and Kelly 6%.

It turns out that clicks and Spotify listens do not necessarily translate into real influence among the public.

Ironically, a phenomenon similar to traditional media in recent years is emerging: a loud and vocal minority holds the microphone and claims to speak for a silent majority that actually rejects it.

This frustration is causing Tucker and his circle to lose composure and drift away from the MAGA “mothership” toward the more fringe territories of the far left and pro-jihadist narratives.

The current investigation into Kent’s leaks to Carlson may become the official break between Carlson and the Republican Party.

3. YouGov–Economist poll on the November midterms (the most important issue in U.S. politics):

Since the start of the war, Republicans have narrowed the gap with Democrats in the race for control of the House — from a 7-point Democratic lead in mid-February to just 2 points in mid-March.

Earlier this month, I referenced a Harvard/Harris poll conducted before the war that showed a tie.

Democrats still lead in betting markets and most polls, but the trend is favorable for Republicans.

As noted recently, Republicans have only upside potential — historically, since World War II, only once has a second-term president managed to keep his party’s majority in the House (Clinton and the Democrats in 1998).

If Trump becomes the second, it would be a phenomenal achievement for him and the Republican Party.

4. Finally (not a poll): The major unknown is Vice President J.D. Vance, who is closely tied to Carlson and issued a very lukewarm statement regarding Kent’s resignation.

His public profile during the current war with Iran has been relatively low, and it is not at all certain that he supports the campaign.

Recently, he has lost some ground in the (so far quiet) race between him and Marco Rubio to become Trump’s successor for 2028.

It is far too early to write off Vance’s chances of becoming the Republican nominee in two and a half years, but his political trajectory will likely indicate the direction the Republican Party will take in the coming years.

(Gilad Zwick on X)

Vance is the big loser for now, I just don’t trust him. He came late to the MAGA party. First time he voted republican was for himself in the Ohio senate race. Seems to be a carpetbagger and far too close to the woke right and the Anti-Israel sentiment. Rh

American retaliation – strategic shift

Financial Times reports a major U.S. pivot:

• Air-defense systems and ammunition redirected from Europe to the Middle East

• Focus shifting fully toward confrontation with Iran

On the ground

• Deliveries to Europe – especially Patriot interceptors – expected to be delayed

• Systems already moved from Europe to protect U.S. forces and allies in the region

• U.S. deprioritizing Russia–Ukraine track – signaling full attention on Iran

Europe reacts

• Anger and concern – described as a “disaster”

• Accelerating independence from U.S. arms supply

• France taking its own path – deploying forces to the region

Middle East implications

• Stronger U.S. deterrence posture

• Shortages creating competition for air-defense systems

• Rising risk of escalation with Iran

• Gulf states reassessing alliances

Bottom line

• The Middle East is now Washington’s top priority

• Europe is sidelined

• The global balance is shifting

(Nziv .net)

Final thought, Europe may be the big loser, not supporting the US when they are far more dependent on oil than us. Typical, we save them and they turn their backs on us. Open borders and government overreach has defeated the once great British Empire, they should change their symbol from the lion to a kitty. France is just France, as long as they have their mistresses and their over priced wine, they are good. Rh

Strait of Hormuz

The balance of power in the Strait of Hormuz is shifting dramatically. Iran, which once believed it controlled this vital waterway with its fast boats, now faces a shocking reality.

The arrival of the amphibious assault ship USS Tripoli at the head of a Marine Expeditionary Unit, including the 31st Reconnaissance Battalion, represents an unprecedented nightmare for the Iranian regime. This elite force of approximately 2,500 troops is moving at maximum speed toward the region, signaling Washington’s shift from airstrikes to a potential “boots on the ground” option.

Known as “Force 911,” these units are not ordinary reinforcements—they are self-contained, integrated forces combining ground combat elements with artillery, amphibious vehicles, fighter jets like F-35s, and attack helicopters, effectively turning the ship into a miniature aircraft carrier operating in the heart of the Strait.

Primary objective: regain control over the Strait of Hormuz from the Revolutionary Guard, which has disrupted global shipping. The number of transiting ships dropped to just 77 in early March, compared to over 1,000 in the previous year.

With this deployment, all military options are on the table: from rapid raids on islands used by the Guard as missile and drone launch points, to full control of strategic sites like Kharg Island, Iran’s economic lifeline and source of roughly 90% of its oil exports.

Missions may also include highly sensitive tasks, such as securing enriched uranium stocks to prevent any “dirty bomb” scenario, or collaborating with the CIA and Mossad to engage opposition groups and build an internal resistance movement to overthrow the regime.

This marks a new phase that goes beyond traditional deterrence, putting Tehran’s influence and the regime’s existence at stake. These special forces could fundamentally shift the balance of power internally and potentially end the regime’s dominance forever.

Essential Liberty

Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.” Benjamin Franklin.

Do they know what they are doing??  Yes

Good morning and welcome to a rather long, I fear, and disjointed effort to dislodge my thoughts that keep burrowing in my head. I want to share with you some of what is going on that to be quite honest are (shocking, unbelievable).  The smartest of the smartest, or at least those who think they are, have charted this world on a course of destruction.  Whether it be AI or a call for a one world government, with one distinct person in charge, opening borders that destroy nation pride and identity.  Planned destruction?  I think so.  

Let me explain, greed and a lust for power have motivated people all the way back into Bible days. But today the lust for control is growing and becoming an almost daily occurrence in our news.  Take for example the octogenarians that waddle into the Senate and grace our hollowed halls of government, they just can’t turn loose of power.  The Bible says that pride goes before a fall, and at times they do fall, literally.  There seems to be more walkers and handicap parking in Congress than brains. The spectacle is embarrassing.  Go home, be with your family.  Cognitive test anyone??

They, whoever they may be, we know the usual suspects, or culprits if you will. The world economic forum, club of Rome, the rulers and potentates of several European countries, even looking into our own country in the Congress, which has senators and representatives that have allowed a beginning destruction of not only our values, but also of our morality.  Desiring  the destruction of our identity of who the United States of America truly is. What might seem to be deception and disinformation or uncertainty is actually a playbook for control and manipulation. 

2 Timothy 3:1, which I use ad nauseam, talks about that the last days would have perilous times. In the Greek that word perilous means the idea of a “raging sea or wild animals roaming” through cities and in the countryside. What a perfect description of what we’re seeing today. It may be a little uncouth and mean spirited to say it, but we’ve seen wild animals roaming in Minneapolis, Portland, and New York in particular. They are planned seeds of destruction, not random peace rallies that happen to go out of control. They’re bought and paid for and their purpose is to continue the further destruction of law and order and the rule of law and truth in America. 

 The reaction of the feds is totally different than it was on January 7th. When socialist maim and burn a city, it just got out of hand, when Patriots do it without violence they are put into the political “gulag”. The rule of law does not exist in our country anymore, the American politburo won’t allow their kind (ruling class) to be held accountable. Rumors of paid slush funds, taxpayer money paid to silence alleged sexual  misconduct by high ranking Congressional officials.  The Epstein files were released with heavy, almost unreadable redactions. The two tiered Justice system is driving a wedge in this country and causing division that puts one tribe against another tribe and destroying unity and love for this land, and American culture. 

Let’s talk truth, what is truth?  Truth is found in a person, Jesus Christ.  The battle to silence truth is only going to get worse with AI. What to believe, and even how to distinguish truth is difficult.  Truth has fallen in the streets, trampled upon with the destruction of our heritage and values that are quickly fading away.  With the coming AI revolution with its deceiving ability, who knows what to believe. Deception, the greatest tool of the enemy of your soul.  Guard your hearts my friends and seek genuine truth.

Back to the Franklin quote. My dear Benjamin, excuse me for the informality, but yes we will give up liberty for seeming safety.  The seeds of that notion, perpetrated by the Federal government, happened decades ago.  As a Russian dictator once said, while being shoeless at the United Nations “We do not have to invade the United States, we will destroy you from within.” Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev. 

Sorry, Nikita, don’t think it will happen but we are only one election or maybe two away from that possible realization. Check out the socialist haven called New York City.  Gotham has fallen, has fallen!

Ben is turning over in his grave.  God have mercy on us!
