Bombs = Freedom

Liberty is coming to Iran soon

I believe the overwhelming majority of Americans identify with the Iranian people’s desire for freedom.

President Trump put his finger on this idea when a PBS reporter asked him this question: “How is it taking care of the Iranian people if you’re bombing?”

He replied: The Iranian people want to hear bombs because they want to be free. And the only reason they're not out protesting is because they were informed that if they protest, like the wrestler and his friends, they will be shot immediately!"

The wrestler he’s referring to is Iranian national champion, Saleh Mohammadi. He was publicly executed with Mehdi Qasemi and Saeed Davoudi in Qom, just south of the capital, Tehran.

State radio said they committed “moharabeh” or “waging war against God” for allegedly killing two police officers during protests in the city. Of course, what they were really killed for was standing up for liberty and freedom, along with an estimated 45,000 other Iranians who took to the streets and lost their lives at the hands of a brutal, radical Islamic regime.

The president advised Iranians to keep to themselves for now in light of the government's track record of bloodshed. But make no mistake; freedom is coming to Iran, and it’s coming in the form of military might coupled with negotiated pressure to reform or face a methodical destruction of the country’s infrastructure. To use the parlance of the day, bombed into the Stone Age.

The president has been clear about not wanting to wipe out the power grid and oil fields of Iran because it would take years to rebuild them. But he’s also right in saying that if that’s what it takes to liberate Iran, that’s a trade-off most Iranians will gladly make.

I know that because, as an American, if I had to bend a knee before tyranny or start a life of liberty without electricity, I’d choose the latter.

No question.

All true Americans would.


Dementia? C’mon, Peeps!

Our cousins in the left-leaning news media, after totally blowing the story of Joe Biden’s confirmed dementia, seem intent on now hammering away that Donald Trump also has dementia. If not dementia, then some undisclosed health ailment.

It’s bullshit wishful thinking, and anybody who saw the president in action Monday morning smells it.
