VICTOR DAVIS HANSON- WHY TRUMP’S STRIKE WORKED

Monday, June 23rd, 2025

 

Victor Davis Hanson: Why Trump’s Iran Strike Worked
The surviving command may wish to redirect public ire from themselves onto the theocrats. That may be the only way to end this evil regime and the ruin it has brought everything it has touched.
June 23, 2025

It is difficult to imagine any other Republican or Democratic president taking such a risk to hit Iran’s nuclear infrastructure. The Middle East is understandably viewed as the graveyard of presidential misadventures, where an administration’s good polls crash and sometimes do not revive.

Jimmy Carter’s reelection hopes blew up after the failed 1980 rescue mission. Iran-Contra almost sabotaged Ronald Reagan. Even the successful 1991 Gulf War ended poorly with the survival of Iraq’s Saddam Hussein, the ensuing endless “no fly zones”—and a repudiated George H.W. Bush in 1992.

George W. Bush lost control of his presidency with the devolution of the 2003 Iraq War. Joe Biden’s polls never recovered from the skedaddle from Kabul, Afghanistan.

But President Donald Trump’s limited and defined agenda—and unpredictability—was a different operation and may avoid such a fate.

His administration has likely destroyed most of the Iran nuclear infrastructure at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. So far, the only Iranian response seems to have been a half-hearted attempt to strike a US base in Qatar. All signs point to that being a limited and largely symbolic retaliation: Tehran even gave Qatar advance notice of the attack and the base had been evacuated.

The initial success of Trump’s strike on Iran can be appreciated by the poverty of both foreign and domestic criticism. The American left claimed the bombing was unnecessary and without provocation. More likely it was long overdue given the 1979 storming of the U.S. embassy in Tehran, Iran; the mass-murdering of Americans at the Beirut embassy and Marine Corps barracks in 1983; the blowing up of thousands of Americans in Iraq; and the plans to assassinate Trump. In short, the Iranian theocracy has for nearly half a century waged a one-sided war against America, without much retaliation—until now.

Indeed, the terrorist Iranian regime alone largely explains why there are still so many American bases in Syria, Iraq, and the Gulf, even after the erosion of al-Qaeda and ISIS capabilities.

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT PAID GROUP TO SECRETLY TEXT CHILDREN

Monday, April 14th, 2025

 

Federal government paid group to secretly text children about sex

By Susan Ferrechio  The Washington Times  Monday, April 14, 2025

The federal government spent more than $27 million on a nonprofit that texts sexually explicit health advice to children, tells them how to use sex toys and tests them for HIV without notifying or seeking permission from parents.

The Center for Innovative Public Health Research said researchers obtained “waivers” from a review board under the oversight of the Health and Human Services Department to secretly enroll children in government-funded studies of teenage sexual behavior.

Researchers at the center, administering a program on teen pregnancy called “Girls2Girls,” explained they did not want parents to know about their children’s involvement.

“We were granted a waiver of parental permission so that girls who wished to participate would not have to put themselves in a potentially unsafe situation by disclosing their sexual identity to their parents,” Center Director Michele L. Ybarra wrote in a report about the program.

Researchers said the program tested ways to lower pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases among teenagers as young as 14, through text messaging and to determine if the program “helps teens make healthier choices.”

Teen birth rates are on the decline in the United States, HHS reported. The department cited interventions such as sex education and access to contraception.

But critics say the secret HHS studies, even though aimed at cutting teen pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases, violate parental rights.

“It’s deeply unethical, and this has been going on for 10 years,” said Hannah Grossman, a researcher and reporter with the Manhattan Institute who uncovered the non-profit’s secret texting program. “Parents are not aware that there are adults texting their children about sex and sex activities. And this has all been funded by the federal government.”

TARIFFS – THE RETURN OF POWER

The Reckoning Begins: Trump’s Tariffs and the Return of Power

They called it a trade war. Trump called it leverage. Now the clueless class is about to learn what economic warfare really looks like.
By Sara Carter Staff   April 5, 2025

We were cruising at 32,000 feet when the conversation caught my ear. Two men in their 60s, wearing golf shirts and sneakers—no laptops, no earbuds—just confidently exchanging opinions somewhere over Georgia, halfway through their Bloody Marys.

“I don’t get it,” one said. “Trump’s going to slap tariffs on everything again? That’s just going to drive up prices.”

The other nodded, with the certainty of someone who’d never been challenged. “It’s the same thing all over—tax the American consumer and pretend it’s tough on China.”

They didn’t whisper. They weren’t unsure. They were loud, certain, and completely wrong.

I didn’t say a word. But I wanted to. Not because I crave debate—but because I’m tired of watching this country get gaslit by a class of people who stopped thinking critically the minute CNN started thinking for them.

This is where The Reckoning begins.
Not in the headlines. Not in Washington. But at 32,000 feet, in a casual conversation that revealed just how badly the American people have been lied to.

Because tariffs aren’t taxes.
They’re tools.
They’re leverage.
They’re how you say no to a global system built to exploit us—and yes, to the American worker we nearly lost.

Tariffs: The Tool the Left Pretends Not to Understand

Here’s the truth no one at the cocktail parties wants to say out loud: tariffs are not taxes on Americans. That’s a lie told by people who either don’t understand economics—or don’t care who’s getting steamrolled, as long as their stock portfolio stays padded.

A tariff is a penalty. It’s a strategic toll on products that come into this country under unfair terms. It’s how we say, “You want access to our markets? Then play fair. Otherwise, pay up.”

Think of it like this: If someone’s dumping cheap steel into your town and undercutting every local business, what do you do? You don’t say “Let the free market sort it out” while your factories shut down and your neighbors lose their jobs. You block the dump truck. You protect your own. You draw a line.

That’s what President Trump is doing. And it’s working.

They Called It a Trade War—But It Was a Wake-Up Call

THE HIGH STAKES OF THE TARIFFS

Thursday, April 3rd, 2025

 

Jesse Watters: Media Says America Cannot Afford Tariffs – We Cannot Afford Not To Have Tariffs

Posted By Tim Hains
On Date April 2, 2025

DONALD TRUMP: “My fellow Americans, this is Liberation Day. We’ve been waiting for a long time. April 2, 2025 will forever be remembered as the day American industry was reborn, the day America’s destiny was reclaimed, and the day that we began to make America wealthy again.”

JESSE WATTERS: Today, Donald Trump fundamentally changed the country as we know it. This is the biggest shift in economic policy since World War II when we liberated Europe and Asia. 47 says we are now liberating ourselves from globalization.

DONALD TRUMP: “Our country has been looted, pillaged, raped, and plundered by nations near and far, both friend and foe alike. American steelworkers, autoworkers, farmers, and skilled craftsmen—we have a lot of them here with us today—they are really suffering gravely. They watched in anguish as foreign leaders have stolen our jobs, foreign cheaters have ransacked our factories, and foreign scavengers have torn apart our once beautiful American dream. This is one of the most important days, in my opinion, in American history. It’s our declaration of economic independence.”

JESSE WATTERS: After we saved Europe from Hitler and Asia from the emperor, we created a free-trade system to help the Allies’ economies recover, and they would help us contain communism. Life was great for American families—wives did not have to work if they didn’t want to, you could own a nice home and have a big family and afford college on a decent salary, and your kids could have a better life than you. The United States finally won the Cold War, gave birth to globalization, and then other countries—even our allies—took advantage of us, took advantage of a system we designed to save and protect them.

China, a country we basically created, became an absolute menace, and American multinationals conspired to shift jobs and factories overseas and decimated the middle class. If you are one of those workers the last 40 years, free trade basically destroyed your life. Look at this chart—the top 50% of income earners, especially the top 10 percent, accumulated a massive amount of wealth, but the other half of the country, the bottom 50% of earners, have been suffocating at the bottom. The American dream has been dying, and politicians said there is nothing they can do about it.

BARACK OBAMA: “Some of those jobs of the past are just not going to come back. That he’s going to bring all of these jobs back—how exactly are you going to do that? What are you going to do? There’s no answer to it. He just says I’m going to negotiate a better deal—how? How exactly are you going to negotiate that? What magic wand do you have? And usually, the answer is he doesn’t have an answer. But they are going to have to retrain for the jobs of the future, not the jobs of the past.”

JESSE WATTERS: Mr. Hope and Change is like, “Sorry, I’m one of the most powerful men in the world, but there’s nothing I can do.” Washington has done nothing for 40 years except open the borders, let industry leave, and spend, spend, spend. Could it be that there was a magic wand this whole time? Obama just didn’t know how to use it?

DONALD TRUMP: “So he said, ‘What can we do?’ So easy—I drop a 25% tax on China, and, you know, I said to somebody that it’s really the messenger—the messenger is important. I could have one man say, ‘We are going to tax you 25%,’ and I could say another, ‘Listen, you [bleep], I’m going to tax you 25%.’”

JESSE WATTERS: Trump has been talking about winning trade wars since the ‘90s. He raised tariffs in his first term, and we had the highest wage growth in 50 years—a manufacturing renaissance, a hot stock market, oh, and no inflation. This term, he’s going even bigger.

DONALD TRUMP: “China, 67 percent—that’s tariffs charged to the USA, including currency manipulation and trade barriers… We are going to be charging a discounted reciprocal tariff of 34%. We charge them less—so how can anybody be upset? They will be because we’ve never charged anybody anything, but now we are going to charge… European Union—they are very tough traders—39 percent, we are going to charge them 20%. I don’t blame the people for doing it—I think they are very smart. I blame the people that sat right in that Oval Office.”


JESSE WATTERS: Americans have been demanding fair trade for years—so if other countries tax our products, we are going to tax theirs. But Trump is giving everybody a little bit of a discount—10% tariff across the board and then just a cut under what they charge us. That’s a negotiation tactic—get other countries to drop their tariffs to where we have them, and then it’s equal. That’s called trade. But we are going to fight harder against foreign cars—Trump announcing a 25% tariff on all autos from other countries, and the workers love it.
AUTO WORKER: “I’ve watched plant after plant after plant in Detroit and in the metro Detroit area close. There are now plants sitting idle, there are now plants that are underutilized, and Donald Trump’s policies are going to bring product back into those underutilized plants. There’s going to be new investments, there’s going to be new plants built, and the UAW members—about 20 of them with me—they are sitting right over here. We support Donald Trump’s policies on tariffs 100%.”

JESSE WATTERS: If you care about the forgotten men and women of this country, about restoring the American dream, Trump says you have to be all in on the trade war. But since he’s the general of the war, Democrats who claim they represent workers are against it.

CHUCK SCHUMER: “Donald Trump is preparing to take a sledgehammer to the American economy by preparing a tsunami of tariffs on all sorts of goods Americans purchase every day. A tsunami of tariffs—let’s be clear, Donald Trump’s tariffs are a tax hike on American families.”

JESSE WATTERS: Wall Street money put Schumer in the Senate, so he’s just a puppet. They drove up prices to forty-year highs, he’s been raising taxes for decades. The man who was complacent in hijacking 100,000 American factories and losing 5 million jobs overseas can shut up, with all due respect. He destroyed American industry—that’s why we call it the Rust Belt, it’s why Trump was elected twice—to stop Schumer’s gang from carving the country up.

The media says Americans cannot afford tariffs—we cannot afford not to have tariffs. We created a monster in China—they dump cheap products here, they steal our secrets, they poison us with drugs, and they killed 1 million Americans with a virus. Trade policy should align with foreign policy. The pandemic proved this country isn’t even self-sufficient—we have to start making our medicine here, and if we want to build ships and icebreakers, they have to be built with American steel, not cheap subsidized steel dumped here from China.

 

If we are going to win the AI arms race, we can’t rely on Taiwan for semiconductors—we have to make the chips here. If we don’t protect our economy, we can’t protect our national security, and we can’t protect American lives.

DONALD TRUMP: “The United States can no longer produce enough antibiotics to treat our sick. We import virtually all of our computers, phones, televisions, and electronics—we used to dominate the field, and now we import it all from different countries. A single shipyard in China produces more ships—chips—every year than all of the American shipyards combined. Think of that—it was a business we used to dominate, we used to dominate it totally. Chronic trade deficits are no longer merely an economic problem—they are a national emergency.”

OBAMA JUSTICE DEPT AND JOHN KERRY DERAILED FBI PROBE OF IRANIAN TERRORISTS

Thursday, March 6th, 2025

Obama Justice Dept., John Kerry ‘systematically derailed’ FBI probe of Iranian terrorists while pursuing nuclear deal: whistleblowers

By  Josh Christenson    March 4, 2025

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration “systematically derailed” an FBI probe into Iranian terrorists — with then-Secretary of State John Kerry “personally” interfering to block arrests to score a nuclear-weapons pact with Tehran, show newly released bombshell emails.

Newly released unclassified FBI communications from 2015 and 2016 reveal how officials in then-President Barack Obama’s Justice and State departments stopped federal agents from enforcing US sanctions on Iran and set up “a shadow amnesty program that protected scores of additional Iranian criminals.”

The covert effort included the abandonment of “dozens of Iran-related investigations” by the FBI and related cases by federal prosecutors “after recognizing the State Department and DOJ obstruction would thwart effective enforcement efforts,” whistleblowers’ disclosures say.

European Reality Check: Without The US There Is No NATO And No Ukraine

By Tyler Durden   March 3. 2025
EXCERPT FROM THIS ARTICLE:  

Political leaders and media proponents have been flooding social media to show support for Zelensky as the new savior of the EU and many have suggested that Europe can easily fill the void that the US leaves behind.  This is dangerous delusion.

For example, the US represents around 70% of the entire annual combined defense spending of NATO countries.  No other nation comes close.
