People act like the U.S. and Israel just woke up and decided to attack Iran for no reason. That’s not reality.
For years, Iran has funded and armed groups attacking both countries, pushed its missile program, and moved closer to nuclear capability. When a regime openly calls for Israel’s destruction & threatens U.S. interests in the region, that’s not something you just ignore and hope works itself out.
This isn’t about starting a war, it’s about stopping a bigger one later. If you believe Iran getting nuclear weapons would destabilize the entire region and put millions at risk, then taking action before that happens makes sense. Not to mention the sheer evilness of slaughtering 30,000 innocent Iranian civilians.
You don’t have to like it, Trump or Netanyahu, but pretending there’s no justification at all ignores the bigger picture.
You’re writing your autobiography. What’s your opening sentence?
There was, or may have been, this strange barn in the midst of the city in which I was born. Even my parents seemed to have been a bit unsure about it as they queried me about that barn so very many times during my childhood.
Apparently, some of my siblings may or may not have been born there as well. So many questions remain.
To all Americans – but specifically those of you that are middle-road independents…..
Does it not bother you that Iranians half way around the world that are within cannon fodder range of ordinance dropping from the sky support our President more than the Democratic left?
Does it not bother you that Iranians “protesting” in US metropolitan areas treat our Boys in Blue better than our own citizens from the left when they have their temper tantrums sponsored by George Soroz and company?
Does it not bother you that Iranians hold the American flag and signs that say “God Bless America” and “Thank you, President Trump” while groups from the left want to burn our flag and are actively trying to overthrow President Trump’s political agenda?
It should bother you and concern you deeply that there are people within this country that are just as bad as those we are trying to expel from power in Iran..
The current military actions are a clear example to what would need to happen right here in the US to remove these radicals from office should they gain control and make the changes they want to make. The problem is there would be no one left to conduct those missions.
The radical left is upset right now because they know this brings light to their overall plan. They have been emboldened by previous administrations, but it is time to put the house back in order and put this nonsense back where it belongs.
Get out and vote in EVERY election – specifically local and state – as that is where the instability grows roots. From your local county clerk to President of the United States, make your voice heard and keep your thumb on the pulse for what is going on around you, or learn how to shoot.
Because, as you can see from Iran, it is very difficult to regain freedom once it has been lost.
Dr. Houman David Hammati has seen ALL of Iran and now? He writes…
🇮🇷 47 years ago, I stood at a window in Tehran as a 3-year-old boy, smelling burning tires and hearing the chants that would steal my country. I didn’t have words for what was happening. Today, I am watching smoke rise over the same city — but this time the smoke is not the end of Iran. It is, God willing, the beginning of her resurrection.
Several weeks ago I wrote in that the fever of 1979 was finally breaking. I never imagined I would wake up to see that fever confronted so directly. Israel — with the clear support of the United States — has launched a preemptive strike deep into Tehran and against the regime’s military machinery. Explosions in the capital. Military targets hit. The IRGC’s aura of invincibility, already cracked, is shattering in real time.
I do not celebrate war. No decent person does. What I celebrate — what millions of Iranians inside the country and in the diaspora have prayed for in secret for decades — is the possibility that a regime which has no right to exist may finally be forced to go.
This is the same regime that: – Armed and cheered the October 7 massacre against Israel for no reason other than pure genocidal hatred. – Murdered tens of thousands of its own sons and daughters who dared to walk peacefully in the streets demanding the most basic freedoms. – Gouges out the eyes of young women for the “crime” of wearing makeup. – Hangs teenagers from cranes for posting a tweet. – Exports terror, poverty, and darkness to every corner it can reach including the U.S.
No nation, no people, should have to live under that. Not Israelis. Not Americans. Not Lebanese. Not Syrians. And certainly not Iranians.
I am a physician who has spent his life trying to heal bodies and a son of Iran who has spent his life mourning a stolen homeland. What we are witnessing is not aggression — it is surgery. Painful, necessary surgery to remove a tumor that has metastasized for 47 years. The tumor is the Islamic Republic that has hijacked Iran.
To the brave pilots and special operators of the Israeli Air Force and the men and women of the United States military now carrying out this mission: I pray for you with everything I have.
May God shield you from harm. May every missile find its target and every soldier return home safely to the families who love them. You are not invaders. You are the answer to the prayers of millions who have whispered “enough” in the dark since 1979. You are giving our friends the chance to breathe free air again. The entire region will owe you a peace we have not known in my lifetime.
To my fellow Iranians watching from inside the country right now, heart pounding, maybe hiding in basements or on rooftops: Hold on. The end is clearer than it has ever been. The regime’s fear is real. Their eyes — those same eyes that once stared down at us with absolute power — now show something they haven’t shown in decades: panic. The math has changed. The window of 1979 is finally closing.
To the little three-year-old boy I once was — and to every little boy and girl in Tehran, Isfahan, Shiraz, and Tabriz today who hears explosions instead of lullabies: This time the sounds are not the closing of a door. They are the opening of one.
The road ahead will not be easy. Transitions never are. But the direction is unmistakable. A secular, prosperous, free Iran is no longer a dream — it is becoming an inevitability.
I have lived the stolen life so that others might not have to. Today, for the first time in 47 years, I allow myself to believe that the stealing is almost over.
Thank you, Israel. Thank you, America. The Iranian people — the real Iran — will never forget.
The fever is breaking. The dawn of 2026 is here. And this time, the light wins.
Yes, Rep. Lawler’s post is largely accurate on the War Powers Resolution: President must notify Congress within 48 hours of hostilities, forces terminate after 60 days (+30 extension) unless Congress authorizes via declaration of war or statute (AUMF). Presidents have broad Article II authority for limited actions like strikes; Congress can force withdrawal via resolution anytime.
Korea: Truman called it a UN “police action” (no declaration); Congress funded it.
Vietnam: 1964 Gulf of Tonkin Resolution gave statutory authorization (broad enough for escalation).
War on Terror: 2001 AUMF (statutory) authorized force against 9/11 perpetrators and associates—used for 20+ years as Congress didn’t revoke it.
Formal declarations ended after WWII; statutes/AUMFs became the norm instead, with politics preventing strict 60-day enforcement.
This conga line of feckless and leftwing Democrats on TV is grotesque. They are literally angry that our country is engaged in a righteous battle to eliminate a terrorist regime that is developing nukes, slaughtering tens of thousands, has murdered and maimed thousands of our fellow Americans, and is funding and spreading terrorism throughout the world.
Now, what did they do about this regime? Funded it. Appeased it. And left it to President Trump to deal with the disastrous mess they created and left him. They had no rational or effect strategy or plan to address it.
The Democrat Party does, in fact, hate America. Even now, at a time like this, they seek to sabotage us.
Also, a number of the usual American-hating Islamist media clowns are in full propaganda mode, trashing our president and our country. It is time to deport as many of them as is legally allowable and to attempt to denaturalize some of the others and remove them. When you read what they say and believe you have to wonder how an immigration system that is supposed to work to benefit our country, and is supposed to only allow in foreigners who have allegiance to our country, it is clear these individuals ought not be here. This is not about the 1st amendment or any civil liberties. It is about their presence in our country in violation of basic immigration-law requirements.
Since many of my Democrat colleagues don’t seem to understand the War Powers Act, it’s very simple:
The President must notify Congress within 48 hours of deploying troops or commencing an attack. The President must then withdraw troops within 60-90 days, unless Congress declares war.
In this instance, Congress was notified in advance and briefed before the strike on Iran. A full classified briefing will be forthcoming.
Now, Congress can pass a concurrent resolution ordering the troops be withdrawn at anytime, which is what Massie and Khanna are trying to do.
But under Article II and as Commander in Chief, the President has the authority to act. The notion that this strike is illegal or that the President needed Congress’ authority is wrong.
.
Furthermore, Biden and Obama conducted numerous strikes in numerous countries without Congress and none of the people screaming now, seemed to have any objections.
For historical context, Congress has not declared war since WWII. – Mike Lawler @Lawler4ny
The head of the snake has been cut off with the death of Khamenei. It is estimated that 5 of the 10 top leaders are also dead. God bless President Trump and Israel. Iranian people are celebrating.
