Almost everybody on this board voted for the guy. What choice did we have? Bad & worse, as usual!

But, Trump stabbing his voters in the back, like this, assures the GOP loses both houses of Congress next year. Then, he gets impeached by the House & convicted in the Senate.

The 1st American president ever removed from office.

Col. Doug MacGregor: Calls To Dump Trump explode within the patriot community...

The Adelson/AIPAC/ADL lobby that quite literally, bought and paid for 1/2 of the Trump
cabinet and administration appointments, has now begun to take over both foreign (Israel,
Ukraine) and domestic policy ( deportations/immigration)..

And now the patriot/military and core base of the MAGA community are calling Trump out.

Here, MacGregor, once-favored to become Trump's Sec Def, only to be pushed aside by Wiles
and Adelson over not being an overt Israel firster, calls out Trump, and the now complete and
total MIGA takeover of the Trump administration:

=================

From X:

@DougAMacgregor

June turned out to be Iran’s Pearl Harbor. Iran will now react as we did in 1942
when we were caught napping.

What was limited to the region between Israel and Iran will now become regional.

Trump's statements after the fact are an admission of his own level of complicity
in the attacks.


The ”talks" with Iran were a ruse. Witkoff, like most of the Trump Administration was
an agent of Israel and Netanyahu.

This is the beginning of a regional war that will involve The United States, Russia,
as well as the whole Islamic World.

As Dan McAdams of the Ron Paul Institute pointed out this morning, the similarities between the
Israeli use of drones inside Iran with the Ukrainian Spider Web Attack inside Russia are striking.

Finally, Americans should now expect terrorist attacks on soft targets inside the USA.

Soft targets include at a minimum nuclear reactors, military installations, power grids,
and shopping malls.

=====================

And so it begins...

SOTB

PS: Finally, the Ziocons have taken out #7, as called for in Netanyahu's "Greater Israel"
project launched over two decades ago...

For decades, Israel has controlled US foreign policy through AIPAC and literally buying control
through billionaire Ziocon oligarch's campaign donations.

While it may now be too late, America as we knew it can not coexist with AIPAC, as Rep. Tom Massie
reminded us, an AIPAC handler is assigned to all 535 members of Congress...



Just in case you ever thought the king of "all bark and no bite" conservatives Jim "buggery" Jordan
was a MAGA patriot, think again. No one has ever talked such a big game on camera, and literally
never produced a single result for America, other than voting Israel first. Blackmailed and contolled,
the US flag shown below is merely performative...


Is America #8 on Netanyahu and the Ziocon's list?

They literally take our tax money via aid to Israel, recirculate it back through AIPAC, all the while
their PR attack dog, the ADL villifies any white conservative, patriot, or Christian organizations who fail
to take a knee to Israel, self-flagellate with white guilt, and willingly become Stockholm Syndrome
suffering cucks...

How soon until America is sold off (and sold out), and annexed to become part of the "Greater Israel" project?

Or is that already a fait accompli?

Israel Admits It Cannot Destroy Iran’s Nuclear Program:





Israel has asked the Trump administration over the past 48 hours to join the war with Iran to eliminate its nuclear program, according to two Israeli officials. Israel has admitted that it cannot destroy Iran’s nuclear facility, and only the USA has the power to do that. Israel simply lacks the bunker buster bombs and large bomber aircraft needed to destroy Iran’s Fordow uranium enrichment site. As shown here, it is built into a mountain and deep underground.

This is a reconstructed image purporting to show a central secret Iranian nuclear facility, based in part on information acquired by Israel’s Mossad in a famed 2018 operation. The website of the intelligence firm the Intel Lab has stated that the images of the Fordow Fuel Enrichment Plant codenamed Al Ghadir were three-dimensional reconstructions put together with an analyst with the code name @Orion__int on Twitter. The firm said they are based on the Israeli-acquired and public documents, as well as photographs and video images. “This multi-disciplinary effort is based on Civil Engineering knowledge, Nuclear Fuel Enrichment Cycle basics, Intelligence Analysis, and advanced skills in realistic modeling and rendering,” the Intel Lab said.

The Trump administration has so far distanced itself from Israel’s operation and argued that it would be illegitimate for Iran to retaliate by striking U.S. targets. The problem here is that any direct UNPROVOKED attack on Iran will bring the US into conflict with both China and Russia. Directly attacking Iran, even if the U.S. involvement is limited to bombing a single site, would pull the U.S. directly into the war, and this could lead to WWIII.

The hard reality is that if the Fordow nuclear facility remains operational, assuming there is an end to this operation, it means that Israel will have failed in its goal to “eliminate” Iran’s nuclear program after all of this. What they may have inspired is that North Korea becomes the proxy to just hand a nuke to Iran.

"I have criticized Trump for threatening China publicly in trade. There are some conversations you cannot have in public. I have been silent publicly on this Big Beautiful Bill, but not behind the curtain. I have delivered my warnings, albeit too late for the House. I was just too busy with the world in total chaos."

.....

The United Nations is just as much a failure as the League of Nations, largely due to internal biases and ethical corruption. The Cold War involved proxy wars but avoided direct superpower clashes, maintaining a semblance of containment for image purposes. Every war that the US got itself into, thanks to the Neocons since World War II, has always been about Russia.

In conclusion, war can spread like a contagion under certain conditions, but various factors can contain it only to a point. The idea that war spreads like a contagion holds significant weight in historical analysis, although it’s not a universal or an inevitable law. Several mechanisms demonstrate how conflict can leap from one nation to another, and that MUST be our concern right now between Israel vs Iran, when Iran is by no means standing alone, and the confrontation by the West is in motion against Russia, China, and North Korea, providing incentives to support Iran.





Alliance Systems & Entangling Commitments, as in NATO, are more of a threat of creating a global war contagion than a deterrence. Treaties (defensive, offensive, or mutual aid) can draw neutral countries into a conflict when one signatory is attacked. This is arguably the most direct form of contagion and the very design of NATO. World War I is the quintessential example of how NATO threatens the very future of Europe and the world.

Religious Conflict:

The most significant danger that we have currently is that this war between Iran and Israel is perceived as a religious war. With the massive influx of Muslims into Europe, the danger is that we see major civil unrest in all the major cities throughout Europe as this war is seen through ethnic/religious lines. We find that religion becomes the excuse for civil unrest and war when the economy turns down.

War & Contagions

War demonstrably can and has spread from country to country through mechanisms resembling contagion, like a disease, but also through ideas. This has often been facilitated, particularly through alliances, ideological spillover, physical spillover effects, opportunism, religion, and ethnic or nationalist ties. Our greatest threat with this war between Iran and Israel is that this becomes religiously inspired and spreads, especially in Europe, as a clash between Islam and Judaism, as well as Christianity, from the militants who have flooded into Europe. armstrongeconomics.com
