The "Save America Act" - better than 80 -20

"Rather than just comply and vote to pass this thing, the Democrats have decided this would be a nice hill to die on. Trump has had it with this bunch of bedwetters. He has made it known that no other bill will be signed until the Save America Act is passed, and on his desk, waiting to be signed." 

By now, most have heard of the Save America Act. It should be passed and signed into law ASAP. Why? It is something whose time has come. In fact, whose time has come a long, long while ago. In any event, time to get it done. How do I know it is something the people want? The polling has been very constant. High majority of whites, almost as high majority of blacks, high majority of Hispanics, almost 100% of Republicans, and (here is the shocker) - a majority of Democrats. There is only one group in America who is against this much needed legislation - elected Democrats. Huh?

The Save America Act is necessary to ensure that only an American citizen can vote. Sounds noble - who in the world could be against this very important bill? Brace yourselves - only those who like to cheat. I know this is a shocker, but there are people in this country who are dishonest. Who commit fraud in Minnesota. Who cheat. Who lie. Who vote when they are not entitled to. Will the Save America Act take care all ballot box cheaters? Nope - but it will cut them down to size.

The paid for Democrats in the Senate respond by saying, "This will disenfranchise women, minorities, and whomever else is too dense to have a valid ID these days!" Boy, what an insult! I would be hopping mad if I were in one of those categories. Here are some facts of life: First - Since you need an ID to do just about anything these days, it would be hard not to have one. Next - Since it is March, and if it gets passed into law this month, that leaves over 1/2 year to get an ID. If voting is important to anyone, there is the runway.

Rather than just comply and vote to pass this thing, the Democrats have decided this would be a nice hill to die on. Trump has had it with this bunch of bedwetters. He has made it known that no other bill will be signed until the Save America Act is passed, and on his desk, waiting to be signed. If the paid for Democrats decide to play footsie with this issue like they did the DHS funding, they might as well just go home. Mission accomplished. The Coast Guard, TSA, and other elements of the DHS continue to work without pay, and soon they might just stop coming in all together. Not a smart thing to do in a time of war - but nobody ever accused this group of being smart.

We have come a long way since how we as a nation acted during World War II. Everybody pitched in. Everybody was committed to win. Today, many on the left are only committed to one thing - how to hate the Orange Man more and more every day. For Senate Democrats, even it is means ruining the country. FDR would be spinning in his grave if he could see show today's Democrats act in a time of war.

The cost of defeat; the cost of victory

"It is a shame it had to come to this. Trump gave Iran many outs and many off-ramps. But the Mullahs thought they were immune to western power. They found out the hard way they were not."

There is an old saying that it is easier to start a war than to end a war. Why? War is messy. It is icky. Many bad things happen in war which are hard to forget. Many times, much lasting pain. That being said, Donald Trump has promised no more forever wars. He wanted to do some modern-day shock and awe with Iran and then have some veto power (or approval power) in what Iran's new government would look like. But right now, with a bit over a week of war under our belts, the messiness of this war is starting to reveal itself.

So far, we have taken out almost 50 of Iran's leadership. Hundreds of missiles and launchers. Thousands of drones. So then, what constitutes victory? Where we can leave with our heads held high. Where our blood and treasure were worth the sacrifice. First and foremost, the old regime needs to be gone - gone for good. A new government, which will be fair to its people and good to its neighbors needs to be installed. But almost as important as that one, the 440 kilograms of enriched uranium needs to be accounted for. Why? According to Iran before the war started, that is enough uranium to build eleven nuclear bombs. It is critical that this uranium come under our control. So, it can never be used or sold on the black market.

Once this war is over - and it will someday be over, picking up the pieces will start. Iran will be a mess. Many buildings will lie in ruin. The oil refineries will need to be rebuilt. And the shock to oil futures, will take a while to calm down. Until that happens, until this war if officially done (with victory by the US and Israel secured), the messiness will continue. The Strait of Hormuz will continue to be a challenge for free and open transit. Rogue missile or drone launches will continue. Gas prices will remain at Joe Biden levels, and some commodity shortages might develop. The easy part of the war is coming to a close - the hard part is just starting.

What do I mean by the hard part? Twice now, POTUS has intimated that we might need to send in ground troops. Door kickers. Troops which can not only root out hidden IRGC members but also find the 440 kilos of enriched uranium. Can the Kurds help? Maybe. Can other friendly nations help? I sure hope so. Remember however, Iran is twice the size of Texas. Lots and lots of territory to cover. 

It is a shame it had to come to this. Trump gave Iran many outs and many off-ramps. But the Mullahs thought they were immune to western power. They found out the hard way they were not.

Meanwhile, as we continue to try and fix Iran, Rubio is down in Cuba laying the groundwork on how we can fix that failed country. Bored yet with Trump? Hard to be, as he might be the most consequential president in US history.  

Time for "Defense extreme (DX)" on everything!

"Right now, we need a better solution for the thousands of drones which are being produced every year. We need a good solution for the new hypersonic missiles. To ensure the safety of the fleet as well as the homeland, we need to think in the future and not in the present."    

I spent about 25 years of my civilian working life as a government contractor. It was a good life - I learned a lot, traveled a lot, and negotiated a lot. One of the things I learned while working with the US Government was this - every order had a DOD priority on it. It was called the DPAS System which stood for Defense Priority and Allocation System. Most orders I had were normal in their DPAS ratings. Once in a while however, I received a DX rated order. The "DX" stood for Defense Extreme, and it always went to the top of the pile.

Yesterday, the president had about half dozen or so of our largest defense contractors at the White House for an "SOS" meeting. It is no secret that between supplying Ukraine (mostly under Biden) with weapons and ammo, and now with the war on Iran, our ammo and missile inventory is getting a bit sparce. Even though we keep saying that we are good, I really wonder how good we are. With the meeting yesterday, I think we might not be that good at all.

Trump asked the CEOs who were present at the White House yesterday to really jump start their production rate. Like double it? That is a huge favor to ask! Nope - he wants everybody present yesterday to sign up to ramp up to a fourfold increase in production. The president said he would eliminate as many of the middlemen as possible as well as get rid of needless regulations. When the meeting was over, all left with the agreement it shall be done.

The one item I am the most concerned about is our Standard Missile (SM) 3. This is the bad boy which is fired from a VLS (Vertical Launch System) to take out high flying ballistic missiles. We have wasted many of these million dollars plus missiles on cheap drones. These missiles (I worked at BAE when the SM 3 was being developed) are very effective. But - they are also very expensive and are now becoming a bit scarce. 

For those who work for a defense contractor, the days ahead might be filled with "pedal to the metal" type of work. But it is important work. Right now, we need a better solution for the thousands of drones which are being produced every year. We need a good solution for the new hypersonic missiles. To ensure the safety of the fleet as well as the homeland, we need to think in the future and not in the present.    

For a stronger NATO, Starmer and Carney must go!

"Both Carney and Starmer need to wake up and smell the coffee. They are both lost living in the same bubble, creating sound and fury, and signifying nothing. Besides supporting Donald Trump, they could learn a thing or two. As Trump reshapes the world, it would be smart to be a part of that process, rather than on the outside looking in."

Okay - let me get this on the table. Love him or not, Donald Trump is the leader of the free world. Period. He is the leader both by his position (POTUS), and more importantly, the way he acts. The things he does. But here are the facts of life. During the four years before Trump's second term, NATO became lazy and ineffective. While the US spent many billions to bolster the Ukraine Army, the rest of NATO (for the most part) - did very little. China went hog wild, and Iran was racing to get enough uranium to build that first nuclear bomb. Some might say we got Trump back in the White House in a nick of time. I am one of those people.

But Canada, oh, Canada - what in the world were you thinking when you elected Mark Carney? Wasn't it enough you had years of Trudeau? In one short year, Carney is turning into an American hater as well as a shill for Xi of China. We need Canada right now to be a strong northern neighbor, not a bedwetter. No wonder Alberta (and maybe some others) want to leave this socialist hell and become part of the US.

As weak and feckless as Carny is, that is nothing compared to the man who is afraid of his own shadow in the UK. Yes, that would be Keir Starmer. First a word of clarity from my perspective - I love the UK. Love the people. Been there a half dozen times on business. The UK deserves better than Starmer. Why? He is allowing the Muslim immigrants to take over his country. To change the culture. But Starmer, who is an atheist, does not seem to care. He does not see the danger Maybe his tepid response to the current war in Iraq is formed by that fear of his Muslim population.

Mark Carney should be run out of Canada on a railroad. Like the UK, I love, love Canada. Beautiful country, great people. I have negotiated with the Canadian government twice - both times were enjoyable. But my trust in Mark Carney cannot even be measured in inches. Trump has no time for him. NATO should also have no time for him. In these days when the Arctic is seen as a prize by both China and Russia, Carney is allowing himself (and his country) to be played. Rather than being our best friends right now, Carney, as well as Starmer, are like zits on our bottoms instead of allies.

Both Carney and Starmer need to wake up and smell the coffee. They are both lost living in the same bubble, creating sound and fury, and signifying nothing. Besides supporting Donald Trump, they could learn a thing or two. As Trump reshapes the world, it would be smart to be a part of that process, rather than on the outside looking in.

The only fair question to ask - "What happens next?"

"I suspect that our SOS Rubio and his team are working this issue. My thought? This might be a good agenda item (maybe the only item) for the next Board of Peace get together. The Arab nations should be particularly interested in what happens next in Iran. It is after all - in their neighborhood." 

I don't want to sound like a "homer" when I say this, but I will say it anyway. The United States and Israel together, are beating the living snot out of the leadership and goon squad in Iran. How bad is it? Just short of a massacre. But let me be clear on one thing - this team of the US and Israel, make up probably the finest combo of warfare expertise in the world at this point in time. As good as things are going right now (and they are going very well), one question begs to be asked - what happens next? After the war is over?

Before I address this question, one more thing about how well the US and Israel are executing this operation in Iran. We lost three F-15E jets over Kuwait from friendly fire. Not over Iran from hostile fire nor friendly fire from Israel - it was friendly fire from Kuwait forces. And the six-service people who were killed - that was from hostile fire. Not in Iran, but on one of our Army bases in the area. Killed by a missile or a drone. 

Back to the question at hand. Why is this so important to answer correctly? Many of us still have a hangover from the liberation of Iraq. The war to oust Saddam Hussian went very well - not as well as this war with Iran, but still very well. But then came the aftermath - nation building. Helping the good citizens of Iraq elect and develop a democracy. And it went horribly wrong. Many brave service people died in the aftermath. It burned a memory into many brains that nation building is not one of our fortes. And we should never try it again.

The one question which is being asked by both sides of the aisle is this - (using young folk jargon) - what is the plan, man? This is not a partisan question. It is a fair question. The millions of innocent Iranians who have lived under this brutal theocracy for almost 50 years might need some care and feeding in how to live as a free people. What does that mean? It means that Iran might need a tinge of (dare I say it?) - nation building. But who will do it? There is no stomach by anyone for the US to do it. But if the care and feeding of this newly freed nation is not done, will it become wild and untamed instead of normal and civilized? If so, how, who, where and when?

I suspect that our SOS Rubio and his team are working this issue. My thought? This might be a good agenda item (maybe the only item) for the next Board of Peace get together. The Arab nations should be particularly interested in what happens next in Iran. It is after all - in their neighborhood.

PS - The pic I used is the Iranian Corvette class ship which was torpedoed and sunk by a US submarine. First time since WWII that we have sunk a ship from another country using a torpedo.  

  

 

Where is the threat, the clueless ones ask...

"Do the Democrats have a death wish? Do nothing and let nature take its course? Seems that way. Trump on the other hand, does not see it that way. And that is why we have engaged Iran. Putting our blood and money at risk. But with Iran, the risk is worth it."

Yesterday, the administration met with the entire Senate to show their hand (so to speak). Like, with the Democrats wanting to push a War Powers Resolution and have our troops leave the vicinity of Iran, the Democrats wanted nothing to do with the Rubio brief. "There is no threat", the clueless brigade would parrot each other when cameras and mics was shoved in their untruthful faces. Again, we live in two separate worlds. We speak two different languages. Most importantly, we know two different truths.

Here is some of the unclassified information which was shared with the lackluster wing of the Senate yesterday. To answer the question, "Where is the threat?", the following was offered. And this information had no spin on it, as our intelligence agencies as well as Israeli agencies had similar or exact information.

Missiles - Iran has (with the help of China) been building up its missile inventory at a blazing pace. Like, up to 100 missiles a month. Why so many? Iran knows with enough missiles coming down in a swarm on Isreal, they can defeat the famous Iron Dome. With thousands of very accurate drones coupled with hundreds of ballistic missiles, many cities in Israel would be laid bare to ruin.

Long Range Ballistic Missiles - Where is the threat? With the increase in ballistic missile technology (thanks to China), it would not be long before Iran had missiles with enough range to hit the "Great Satan" (us) as well as every city in Europe. In other words, rather than watching (on TV) the sirens going off in Israel when Iran launches a missile, the sirens would be going off in our homeland.

Drones - Ready or not, here they come. Some defense experts recently said that drones are the new "suicide vests". They are low and slow but also getting more accurate. Iran has thousands of them and the factories in Iran keeping pumping them out. Love them or hate them, drones are here to stay - and Iran has legions of them. 

The Poison - The real prize for Iran, the one in which they have been striving to complete, is enough enriched uranium to make at least a dozen nuclear bombs with, which can be put on top of a ballistic missile. Iran has enough enriched uranium right now to meet that goal - all it needs is a bit more time on the centrifuge, and it will be good to go. That my friends, is the real threat - and it is at the door, waiting to come in.

While the Democrats let Obama get away with murder while he was in the Oval Office, bombing numerous countries WITHOUT CONGRESSION APPROVAL, we have a real threat here in Iran. Do the Democrats have a death wish? Do nothing and let nature take its course? Seems that way. Trump on the other hand, does not see it that way. And that is why we have engaged Iran. Putting our blood and money at risk. But with Iran, the risk is worth it.

 

A little help here, PLEASE!

"But this is important and is the golden nugget. For the United States and Israel to taking down Iran (who is in control of thousands of ballistic missiles and even more drones), would be a favor to the world. Why? The Mullahs are megalomaniacs. They wanted to put a nuclear warhead on some of their long-range missiles. Always been their plan."

What in the world has happened to our "friends" in Europe? They have become soft and self-centered. How so? First the UK denied us the use of Deigo Garca during the execution of Operation Epic Fury. Then Spain denied us the use of joint usage air bases in Spain so long as Operation Epic Fury was in effect. What - what? These nation states are NATO allies - so what gives? They are collectively as brave as young cats (if you know what I mean).

We don't need any help in the execution of Epic Fury. Israel and the US are doing just fine, thank you. In fact, this morning on the news it was disclosed that the US and Israel have achieved air superiority over all of Iran. That means all air defenses in Iran are gone. We could safely fly Piper Cubs over Iran's air space. But there is something else we (as well as the free world) need help on.

Iran is dead set, not matter how poorly the war is going for them, to shut down the Strait of Hormuz. Why? For starters, 20% of the world's oil uses the Strait. If that oil becomes bottled up and can't deliver, the price of a barrel of crude will spike. Which means the price of gasoline will spike. But that is not all. Many goods use the Strait for commerce. We don't have enough ships on station to execute Epic Fury as well as keeping the Strait open.

Who could help keep the Strait open, so the world does not suffer needlessly? Great Britian, France, Spain, Italy, Norway, (do I need to continue?). Keeping the Strait open is the least that NATO can do to help. The US and Israel will continue on with the heavy lifting.

But this is important and is the golden nugget. For the United States and Israel to taking down Iran (who is in control of thousands of ballistic missiles and even more drones), would be a favor to the world. Why? The Mullahs are megalomaniacs. They wanted to put a nuclear warhead on some of their long-range missiles. Always been their plan. By taking Iran down now, it has saved the world a horrible event in the near future. No nation needs to thank us, just don't hinder us.

Just how is the war going? If you ask the US or Israel, they will respond by saying very well, thank you. If you ask the Supreme Leader of Iran the same question, his answer would be total silence. 

   

A little war for a whole lot of peace?

"This week the Democrats will try to muster enough votes to end this war for freedom in Iran. Why? They hate Trump so much, they would sacrifice freedom and peace in the Middle East just to get at Trump. The vote should fail, and this war for liberation and peace will continue. But when will this war end? When it is over. Trust me, nobody wants it over quicker than the brave men and women who are currently at the tip of the spear."    

In February of 1979, my wife had been married not quite five years. We had recently moved into our first house. The company I worked for housed some Iranian pilots for training on the airborne computers which the company manufactured. Through an FMS (Foreign Military Sale), the company was under contract by the Shah of Iran. Then the revolution came. Just like that, the deal was over. Our embassy staff in Iran was held hostage by the radicals in the "new" Iran for 444 days. The pilots who were onsite at the company were like orphans. No home to go back to. Then for the next almost fifty years, the world witnessed a new face of terror. Having a theocracy in Iran - has been terrible for the region - for the world. That is, until Donald Trump became president. 

It is somewhat ironic that right after the launch of the Board of Peace, the man who founded the Board would unleash his military on Iran. But this war will be different. It is a necessary war to bring about a whole lot of peace. Whereas the War on Ukraine started by Putin is nothing more than a war of conquest. The war (should it come) for Taiwan will be a war for conquest by China. Once we liberate Iran from its now unwanted theocracy, there will be no conquest by anybody. Only freedom for the people, and peace for the world. 

Donald Trump spent countless hours with his negotiation team trying to strike a deal which would bring about peace with no bloodshed. But there were three red lines which needed to be agreed to for the deal to be struck. No enriched uranium, no ballistic missiles, and free elections for the people. The answer by the team the Mullahs had sent to Geneva was "No, no and no". That was it for negotiations. Even though Trump offered "off ramps" to the Iranians, they refused. The carrot did not work, so it was time to use the stick.

This almost fifty-year nightmare needed to come to an end. Donald Trump has told the Iranian people that we are "setting the table" for their freedom, but they must finish the job by liberating themselves from their current theocracy. The problem for the unarmed people of Iran is simply this - they will be going up against what remains of the IRGC and the elite Quds Force. By the way, it is thought it was the Quds Force who was behind the massacre of the 30,000+ innocent protestors in the streets of Iran. The people remember that. The US and Isreal need to further degrade the IRGC and Quds to make an internal overthrow of the current regime more likely to succeed. 

This week the Democrats will try to muster enough votes to end this war for freedom in Iran. Why? They hate Trump so much, they would sacrifice freedom and peace in the Middle East just to get at Trump. The vote should fail, and this war for liberation and peace will continue. But when will this war end? When it is over. Trust me, nobody wants it over quicker than the brave men and women who are currently at the tip of the spear.    

One magic moment...

 

"One more thing - the dumbest thing Iran did yesterday, was to send missiles into most all of its neighbors. Any threat of mercy and compassion that any of those countries might have had for Iran, vanished when the first ballistic missile hit their soil. Now most of the Middle East countries are enemies of the current Iranian regime. Friends of ours - enemies of Iran."

For those who might have been living off the grid, the big, big news was simply this - America and Israel did the near impossible. Playing a bit of a ruse and using tactics which are antithetical to a normal military practice, the combined team of the USA and Israel did a brazen mid-morning attack on Iran and caught many of the senior leadership with their pants down. And just like that, in one magic moment, we took out forty top Iranian leadership people, including the Supreme Leader.

And just like that, the scope and scale of this war was set. We have cut off the head of the snake. True, there are still some leadership types hanging around who escaped the surprise attack from yesterday, but for them, it is just a matter of time. We will now use the "big stick" to pound the living beepers out of selected targets. In a day or two, we should have neutralized all Iran's air defenses, which will allow our F-15E heavy bomb haulers to really put the explanation point on this incredible victory.

What is the most amazing, is the Democrats back home are trying muster a vote this week which will demand Trump stop what he is doing in Iran. Why? War powers. With this amazing victory, one of the greatest since WWII, within inches of our grasp - the Trump haters are out in full force. Give up this very important victory just to get back at Trump. In fact, the Soros funded protesters were also in the streets caterwauling. They were carrying signs which on one side said "F*** ICE" and on the other side "No war with Iran". Okay - that was a joke. The signs did not say anything about ICE.

Now for the next few days, it will be a giant game of cat and mouse. The Iranians will be taking mobile launchers out of hidden bunkers and launching ballistic missiles at anything and everything. The US and Israel, need to take out these mobile launchers as soon as they reveal themselves. "Shoot the archer on the ground". If the missile launches, we need to rely on our interceptors to take them down. However, some have been getting through. 

In a period of sixty days, our military has taken Maduro (as a prisoner) out of Venezuela and then killed the Supreme Leader of Iran. A simply amazing feat! Once we finish up and pull our fleet home (or back to the Pacific), peace will break out all over the Middle East. 

One more thing - the dumbest thing Iran did yesterday, was to send missiles into most all of its neighbors. Any threat of mercy and compassion that any of those countries might have had for Iran, vanished when the first ballistic missile hit their soil. Now most of the Middle East countries are enemies of the current Iranian regime. Friends of ours - enemies of Iran.  

 

 

A war whose time has come...

"If you are a praying person, pray for our brave men and women in our Armed Forces who are now in harm's way. Pray for Israel, who might be on the cusp of a long-sought peace. And pray for the citizens of Iran, who have been under the thumb, or under the boot of the Mullahs for almost fifty years." 

Spoiler alert! It was just disclosed this morning that our intel has determined that immediately after Operation Midnight Hammer concluded, the snakes who control Iran continued to enrich uranium at alternate sights. Today, at 10am Iran time, the hammer fell. All those ships and aircraft which have been staged in the Iranian area, were given the "go" signal from President Trump. The war to get rid of the Mullahs, which has taken us almost 50 years to gather the resolve to finish, is now under way. It is a war whose time has come.

In the past few weeks, if one of the Mullahs had asked me if they were in any danger, I would have only told him one thing - Donald Trump is not Barack Obama or Joe Biden. He is a man not to screw around with. They should know from what happened to General Soleimani. Donald Trump is a man of great resolve. He is the backbone behind Operation Epic Fury. The F-35I of Israel as well as stealthy aircraft of United States Armed Forces, landed the first blow during the middle of the night (our time). Who was targeted? The upper echelon of the Iranian government and military.

Now the return volley has started. Iran is launching some (not many) ballistic missiles toward Israel and countries in the area which are housing or hosting our military. We are now broadcasting a message to Iran in their native language of Farsi. The message basically said that we (the US) told you that help is on the way. And now it is here. We will set the table by getting rid of as many of your leaders as possible, but it is up to the citizens to do the rest. As Trump finished his statement, "Don't let this moment pass you by."

We have come a long way since Jimmy Carter. When the radicals took over Iran in 1979, and held Americans hostage for 444 days, we were helpless (or feckless) to do anything. For decades we watched Iran be the bad guys of the neighborhood, threatening Israel with destruction on almost a daily basis. Today, the reckoning has begun. The evil leaders of Iran soon will be no more. Isreal and the USA will clean house, and then this evil theocracy in Iran will be no more. A new Iran, a free Iran, will be reborn.

If you are a praying person, pray for our brave men and women in our Armed Forces who are now in harm's way. Pray for Israel, who might be on the cusp of a long-sought peace. And pray for the citizens of Iran, who have been under the thumb, or under the boot of the Mullahs for almost fifty years. 

 

 

Hate Canada? Hate Canadians? Or love both?

 

"When Trump invited Trudeau to the White House, he teased the Canadian about Canada becoming our 51st state, and Justin could be the governor. It was all a joke - Trump was pulling his leg. The good citizens of Alberta, however, did not see that as a joke. They are all on board with leaving Canada and become our 51st state."

The answer is quite simple to both questions. I, like most Americans, love Canada. Have since I was a kid. I also have met some very nice Canadians in my lifetime. Served with some. Do I hate Canadians? Not a bit. I do, however, have animus to what their government has done to Canada. The socialist government has taken this great country, almost a twin to our country, and turned it into a northern version of Venezuela. How so? Rich in resources, and a government which will not allow the people to take advantage of them.

First off, Mark Carney needs to retire. Because of his p***s envy of Donald Trump, he has caused a rift (an unnecessary one) between our two countries. Mostly about tariffs (and now maybe hockey also). When Trump talked to Trudeau as well as Carney about the unbalance of tariffs charged, those two globalists just smiled and nodded. Like Biden would do. But Trump likes reciprocal tariffs. He told Carney that if he did not lower his tariffs on us, we would raise our tariffs on them. And just like that, Trump was Hitler. 

Trump is right when he said Canada needs us. They need us more than we need them. We would like to have them as a most favored trading partner and a friend, but so long as Carney plays footsie with Xi of China, that will not happen. Somebody (whom I shall not name) said we should do the same to Carney as we did to Maduro. Get him out of office, send him to Greenland, and purge the socialist flavor out of the drinking water in Ottawa. Speaking of which, Carney may have his following in eastern Canada, but out west he is about as popular as a root canal. 

Will peace ever return to the shire? That is, short of electing another globalist like Joe Biden? The socialists in Europe loved Biden as does the eastern part of Canada. Donald Trump however - the globalists do not know how to deal him. Why? Donald Trump likes to tip the nest so the baby birds can learn to fly on their own. He wants every country to succeed on their own merit. Like, "Make {fill in the blank} Great Again". It is working fine for America, and Trump knows it will work fine for other countries as well. 

There is irony in this past year or so with our relations with Canada. When Trump invited Trudeau to the White House, he teased the Canadian about Canada becoming our 51st state, and Justin could be the governor. It was all a joke - Trump was pulling his leg. The good citizens of Alberta, however, did not see that as a joke. They are all on board with leaving Canada and becoming our 51st state. As they say in hockey - Score!   

NATO? Some of the members are now soft as a sponge

 

Some look across the pond and see Donald Trump and hate him because he is not like Biden and Obama. Others see Donald Trump and are very happy he has replaced 'Sleepy Joe' Biden. Finally. some look at Donald Trump and want to be just like him. Those are the ones who will come out just fine on the other side. 

Here is the good news. After four bloody years of fighting, this is the weakest that Russia has been for many, many years. Nukes aside that is. Here is the bad news. NATO has some formerly strong partners who have turned into pussy cats. Weaklings. Sure, Poland is strong and getting stronger every month. Italy has seen the error of its ways with unfettered immigration and is fixing it. But the UK is a mess and getting messier. Canada? About ready to split in half, as some in the west have had it with Carney's socialist BS.

Some in the Euro Zone blame the US for this newfound weakness. Particularly, Donald Trump, aka "Daddy". Trump would love to see a stronger NATO. But NATO wants the US to be like it was under Biden and Obama - and ATM machine for Europe. But Europe needs to realize to be strong, it needs to have control of its borders. No nation can survive as a total welfare state. Even though Biden tried to change our culture to open borders, Trump slammed them shut just in time. 

The UK is so petty right now, it has stalled the talks with the US to gain control over this pimple of an island in the middle of the Indian Ocean. Why? Is it a vacation spot? Not hardly. It is however in the neighborhood of Diego Garcea, and the US would like to beef up this very strategic location for security purposes. But Starmer, because he can be a "Richard", has decided to stall the negotiations. Even though the US having a stronger presence in the Indian Ocean would benefit everybody - including the UK. Go figure.

And Canada, what in the world? You booed our National Anthem on the world stage in Olympic hockey? Just because Mark Carney got his feelings hurt by Donald Trump. What Carney should be doing right now is fixing his socialist country. It is a mess. Alberta is all but gone, and Saskatchewan and BC might be right behind them. Why does half of Canada want out right now? Liberty and freedom. Trudeau and Carney have treated western Canada like serfs and subjects. What do folks in western Canada really want? To be a part of US. These western Canadians were not the ones booing the US at the Olympics.

If NATO does not get its act together, boot out illegal immigrants, secure borders, live up to the NATO financial requirements, then NATO might indeed be in its final days. Sad to say this once stalwart organization is now weakened by statists and globalists.

Some look across the pond, see Donald Trump and hate him because he is not like Biden and Obama. Others see Donald Trump and are very happy he has replaced "Sleepy Joe" Biden. Finally. some look at Donald Trump and want to be just like him. Those are the ones who will come out just fine on the other side. 

Under the dangling Sword of Damocles

 

"There is one more thing. Iran has made it known, both directly and indirectly, that Iran will close the Strait of Hormuz as well. That would cripple the world economy, even if shut for a short period of time. The price of gas might return to Biden levels, and some other items might also increase in price. But to take Iran off the table of terrorism, to get rid of their theocracy, this might be the price we need to pay."

For those who are paying attention to all the military stuff, the clock might be clicking down to midnight. That is, for the Mullahs in Iran. For weeks now, for the bad guys who are running Iran, it appears that the dangling Sword of Damocles is getting closer to breaking free and falling. Iran knows it, Israel knows it, and the United States sure the heck knows it. And when the sword falls (figuratively) on Iran, it will make Operation Midnight Hammer look like a kiss on the cheek by comparison.

Negotiations (if you can call them that) continue with Iran. The liars from ancient Persia have told our team that 1) they are not getting rid of the present government, and 2) they will continue to enrich uranium. Not to make a bomb of course, just to have it for "peaceful purposes." Nobody on the United States negotiation team has "stupid" tattooed on their forehead - in other words, nobody is taking the bait. Trump said, no uranium - period. That is a bright red line.

With negotiations going nowhere, and with the United States "armada" sitting off Iranian waters, Trump has ordered the and F-22 squadron to England. Why does that matter? The F-22, which acts more like a sixth-generation jet than a fifth-generation jet, is the finest platform in the world right now - hands down. During Midnight Hammer, they were only on station for four days until used. If history repeats on the four-day window, expect hostilities to commence this weekend.

What can we expect if hostilities do break out? It will probably be the toughest fight we have been in for years. Iran has been expecting this for years. Are they ready for it? Sure are. Israel will take the brunt of much of the return fire. Why? Easy target. And any US base will also be on the table. But what they really want, which would be huge prize, is to sink one of our ships. In the eyes of the Mullahs, that would make the good guys "tuck tail and run". The war would be over, with Iran remain standing.

There is one more thing. Iran has made it known, both directly and indirectly, that Iran will close the Strait of Hormuz as well. That would cripple the world economy, even if shut for a short period of time. The price of gas might return to Biden levels, and some other items might also increase in price. But to take Iran off the table of terrorism, to get rid of their theocracy, this might be the price we need to pay.

What is wrong with white liberal women???

 

"And now I will say it, so get ready to hang up on me if you are a Trump hater. When I saw the men, arm in arm, singing the Anthem, this was my thought - MAGA is on display. America, the true America, is on display. Proud to be an American? I know I am!"   

First a caveat. I saw this story on social media this morning, so there is a chance it might be false. BUT - knowing how many liberals react to anything good and pure, I am guessing it might be truth. 

This posting was the picture of a white, liberal woman looking very angry. In this post, she was imploring her white, liberal sisters to shun the Olympic Gold Medal winning hockey team. Do not watch the State of the Union, as the Goldies were to be honored by Trump. The Olympic women, who also are Goldies, were invited, but declined. In any event, this white, liberal woman not only seethed hatred towards our latest heroes but also told her following to never forgive them. For what? For being with Trump tonight.

Let's revisit the list of offenses that our Goldie men did. First off - they won. Picked on a socialist country like Canada. SHAME! No wonder Mark Carney hates us! Then, the boys skated around the rink, with American flags in tow. Not upside down, like the liberal, white women prefer. No, our stars and bars were there for all to see. It was American pride on display.

One final thing they did which was simply unforgivable to the liberal, white women. Arm in arm, they sang the National Anthem. Nobody knelt, nobody turned his back, and nobody raised his fist. This was a love song for America, sung by a bunch of kids who love every inch of this great country.

Why can't white, liberal women act like adults, just for this one very proud moment in our history? Why is their TDS so strong? Why do they hate with such passion? Did they not learn in church that hate is toxic, and our Lord wants us to trade hate in for forgiveness. Maybe if the white, liberal women went to church, they would not be so bitter. They could be better, not bitter.

What do I think about the heroes who played the best of the best and won? I am talking both the men and women. I salute them. I am so, so proud of them, and happy for them. Every bit of kudos they receive from adoring fans are Fine with me. Being honored by our president is fine by me. 

And now I will say it, so get ready to hang up on me if you are a Trump hater. When I saw the men, arm in arm, singing the Anthem, this was my thought - MAGA is on display. America, the true America, is on display. Proud to be an American? I know I am! 

  

Can we MMGA (Make Mexico Great Again)?

 

"Many of the cartels are armed with stuff similar to a Delta Force unit. Amazing what can be bought on the black market. The cartels fight the Mexican military and Mexican cops all the time. And the cartels are good at it. But who is better equipped and trained than the cartels are? Us. It might be time to send in the carvery - invited of course, by President Sheinbaum."

Holy smokes! Talk about a throwback to our wild, wild west! Mexico, as most of us know, is the land of drugs, gangs, and cartels. President Trump had given the Mexican President a forced choice. Either you take our help in providing intel to get rid of a Mexican Drug Lord, or Trump was going to send in our special forces, and we would take care of business. President Sheinbaum agreed to the intel assist, and the Mexican military and cops killed the drug lord (El Mencho) in a gun fight. And then all hell broke loose.

Puerto Vallarta was particularly hard hit. Wait - this is a vacation town for American northern snowbirds. The bad guys probably know that and that is why it was chosen to be the object of their wrath. The American ambassador has advised all Americans to "shelter in place". Flights are cancelled, and word has it food is hard to come by. Some vacation.

I have advised friends for years to stay away from Mexico. Until Mexico can get ahold of their cartel problem, and make Mexico safe again, stay in the southern parts of America for warmth in February. Just so I don't sound like a hypocrite, my wife and I stopped in Cabo a few years back as part of a cruise. We went ashore, but I never felt fully safe, even with a cruise organizing it. On our last cruise to Hawaii a few years ago, there was a stop at a northern Mexico town just south of the border. We took a pass on going ashore on that one.

Many of the cartels are armed with stuff similar to a Delta Force unit. Amazing what can be bought on the black market. The cartels fight the Mexican military and Mexican cops all the time. And the cartels are good at it. But who is better equipped and trained than the cartels are? Us. It might be time to send in the carvery - invited of course, by President Sheinbaum.

Can the US finish up with Venezuela, fix Cuba, effect regime change in Iran, and tame Mexico at the same time? We might have to. My advice to the Democrats - stop playing games and get back to work. The world is a serious place right now, with some serious problems. Stop acting like children and open the government back up. Now. 

 

 

Fleeing blue states

 

"Let me close by using the Ron White saying, 'You can't cure stupid'. Cities and states who keep electing and re-electing Democrats and socialists are just plain crazy. If you want your state or city to end up poor and hollow, vote blue. If you are not careful, your city will end up looking like Minneapolis and your state like Minnesota. #COLDHARDFACT." 

Careful Governor Newsom - you might have some competition. You have been called the best salesman for U-Haul rental trailers in the United States. Why? With so many people (and businesses) leaving California, many of whom are using U-Haul rental trailers, you are a hero with the U-Haul business. But what about California? Is he a hero there? Not quite. Maybe just the opposite.

Wait - what? If Newsom is no longer the U-Haul king of sales, who has replaced him. Ah - a newcomer. Mamdani the socialist in New York is doing a MUCH better job in driving the normal people out of New York City. It has been said that as soon as the election was over, and Mamdani had not yet been sworn it, the floodgates were opened. And for those who have already left - well done. It seems that Mamdani is living out Lady Thatcher's quote - "Socialism is fine until you run out of somebody else's money." And just last week, Mamdani said he would raise real estate taxes by 10% to help pay for his giveaway programs.

But wait - until challenger might have just entered the race. The very strange Abigail Spanberger, the newly minted governor of Virginia has just told the good people of that commonwealth that they are all suckers. Just enough believed here cock and bull story that she was a moderate and will govern as such. Well, she is not and will not govern from the center. The first whiff of socialism by the new governor was enough for Boeing. They are pulling their headquarters out of Crystal City and moving out of Virginia. Why? The good folks at Boeing are not fools.

We cannot forget the new mayor of Seattle, Katie Wison. She is just as much a socialist as Mamdani is. What will happen to Seattle under her watch? It will become even more hollowed out. More crime. More homelessness. It will get ugly, but some have already fled. And speaking of almost forgetting something - how about Chicago? Losing the Bears to Indiana. Because the Illinois business climate is SO VERY bad under Pritzker, as well as the City of Chicago under Johnson, even the rough and tough Bears could not handle it anymore. And we can't ignore the hundreds of businesses which have also fled to greener (or redder) pastures.

Let me close by using the Ron White saying, "You can't cure stupid". Cities and states who keep electing and re-electing Democrats and socialists are just plain crazy. If you want your state or city to end up poor and hollow, vote blue. If you are not careful, your city will end up looking like Minneapolis and your state like Minnesota. #COLDHARDFACT. 

If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

"Don't worry - because Trump is smarter than most and a very good planner, he already has a 'Plan B' ready to go. 'Plan A'. using the IEEPA tariffs was the best way to go, but no longer. One might ask, 'Why not get Congress involved'? Are you kidding me? Have you seen Congress as of late? They look like the bar scene from Star Wars. No, Trump was right to avoid Congress, so he could get something done." 

Tariffs. They have been around since the days of George Washington. Been used many times since our republic (that is republic, not democracy for you Democrats) sprouted wings. Donald John Trump studied tariffs while in college. He liked them. He saw the value in them. He saw the power in them when used correctly. He vowed that if he was re-elected, he would use tariffs the right way. To stop wars. To influence nations. To build up our money supply by making trade more equal. But some in our country did not see it that way. They sued to have them stopped. It took a 6-3 SCOTUS decision to put a dagger in the heart of Trump's usage of IEEPA tariffs.

Trump said shortly after he became POTUS 47, that he was not a fan of the IRS. Many times, the IRS punishes good people. He said in a jocular manner, that he liked the ERS (External Revenue Service). Where money comes into this country from the outside. You know - like tariffs. Everything was going along just fine. Nothing was broken. The financial metrics in the country were good - very good. Wars were stopped. We had billions stocked up in our treasury. Then came the SCOTUS decision. And the bedwetters and the naysayers got their way. Let's fix something which is not broken.

I have thought this about Trump for a long time now. Besides the RINOs and Democrats having stage-four TDS, the big problem with Donald Trump is he is constantly playing four-dimensional chess in his head, when many of his opponents are still trying to learn checkers. What do I mean? Those who did not understand the extreme value of tariffs decided to hate them instead. Get back at Trump for being smart. For being right. Thus, to wound Trump, they decided to hurt the country instead. Well done folks - well done.

Maybe the country was not ready for a president who thinks like Donald Trump. Maybe many in the country liked a president in the manner of Joe Biden instead. Sleep much of the time, live in la-la land while at work, and take hundreds of days of vacation. The Europeans loved Biden - they could use us as an ATM machine. The Canadians? They charged 300% tariffs on our dairy products. Biden did not say boo. But Trump did. BTW - have you noticed that the left does not caterwaul about Canada's tariffs? Only ours.

Don't worry - because Trump is smarter than most and a very good planner, he already has a "plan B" ready to go. "Plan A". using the IEEPA tariffs was the best way to go, but no longer. One might ask, "Why not get Congress involved"? Are you kidding me? Have you seen Congress as of late? They look like the bar scene from Star Wars. No, Trump was right to avoid Congress, so he could get something done. 

   

Our stalwart few in St. Paul

"St. Paul is a mess. It is a microcosm of Washington DC. The blue team hates the red team, as the red team keeps trying to get the people's work done. The next time you see one of the red team, be it state or national, shake their hand and tell them to stay strong and you appreciate them. They are our last line of defense before the enemy is no longer at the gate but again gumming up the levers of power."

I will never forget the steamrolling the citizens of this state took in the 2023 legislative session. It was nothing short of brutal. Every goofy and expensive bill was passed by the trifecta DFL majority, and then Taxing Timmy signed them into law. Sure, we had some normal, God loving citizens on our side of the aisle, but they were outnumbered on every vote. A couple of them went to our church. Towards the end of the session, they had the "1,000-yard stare" like some combat vets had. They tried so hard to hold back the trifecta landslide, but to no avail. 

This year we have an even split in the House and the Senate. Translation = nothing will get done. Walz is still the governor, but he is a lame duck. The Democrats are going to push for legislation which will hamper ICE operations, and Republicans are going to push for legislation which will go after fraudsters. Why won't the DFL help with the fraud bill? Because many of their constituents were involved in it.

Thank God we have brave souls to venture down to St. Paul on these cold mornings and work with the DFL, many of whom have cold hearts. How can I say that? Just look at the abortion of an abortion bill which THEY passed in 2023. It is inches away from infanticide. The Republicans want to protect our valuable tax dollars. To aggressively go after fraud, waste and abuse. The DFL on the other hand, think it is all their money, to spend foolishly and waste constantly.

I know some of the Republicans who are now serving. They are good, solid folks. Believe in the right stuff. They believe in God (which is getting more and more rare in DFL and DNC politics). They also believe in the Second Amendment. And why is that important? Remember the street protests in Iran? When civilians had been mowed down in the street? No Second Amendment in Iran. Too bad, as if there were, we might be dealing with a much different (and friendlier government).

St. Paul is a mess. It is a microcosm of Washington DC. The blue team hates the red team, as the red team keeps trying to get the people's work done. The next time you see one of the red team, be it state or national, shake their hand and tell them to stay strong and you appreciate them. They are our last line of defense before the enemy is no longer at the gate but again gumming up the levers of power.

  

Speed of light, baby!

 

"...the only cold hard fact is the speed of light (as of right now) is it. The cosmic speed limit."

The Andromeda Galaxy. Our closest neighboring galaxy. Sure, would be nice to visit there some day as it is the closest spiral galaxy to our own Milky Way. It is a monster in size - about twice the size of ours. That would be about a trillion stars (many of which have planets). It is so big, and so close to us, on a dark clear night, you can see it with a naked eye. So, what is keeping us from going there? Figuring out how to build a spaceship which can travel the speed of light? Will that do the trick?

Many times, after watching Star Trek or Star Wars, we think going from here to there is a piece of cake. In reality, space is so very big, we can't comprehend it. Andromeda is our closest galaxy and is still a whopping 2.5 million light years away from us. Even if we had a spaceship which could make the magic physics speed limit of light speed, it would still take us 2.5 million years just to get there! Our closest star in our neighborhood would take four years to get there (traveling at the speed of light). 

What is the point of all this? Aliens. There is a growing number of scientists who believe in the Fermi Paradox. That means, if the speed of light is absolutely, positively the fastest a spaceship can travel, we are still stuck here in our own solar system. We can't travel to visit aliens, and they can't travel here to visit us. With the speed of light being 186,000 miles per second, the distance for light to travel one year would take more zeroes than my poor old laptop could type out. Plus, many scientists say to build a ship to travel light speed would about be impossible. Why? The size it would need to be just to carry all that fuel.

Then comes the question which begs to be asked. If getting to Earth is just about impossible from any distance, who or what are all these strange things in the sky? You know, UFOs or UAPs? Just this month, rumor has it one of our allies has a downed craft so large, the government of that country needed to build a structure around it just to keep it hidden. If that is true, where did it come from? How did it get here? 

More and more scientists are now thinking there might be something called interdimensional beings. To go down that path, one must first believe in the multiverse rather than just a plain old universe. Either that, or you would need to believe that space can be "warped" just like in the TV space shows. Both are just theories - the only cold hard fact is the speed of light (as of right now) is it. The cosmic speed limit.

That is tough love for many to accept, but with that speed limit, that is as fast as we can go. What is that going to mean for the Spielberg Disclosure movie coming out this summer? Stay tuned for June. We will all find out together.   

Olympics on ice?

 

"The Olympics has devolved into a lot of money to train some elites from many different countries. And to what gain? Do the competing nations get along better once the games are over? Seldom. What happens to the Olympic structures once the games are over? Quite often they are left to rust." 

Could we be in the waning days of the Olympics? I have thought this once before during the Munich Olympics in 1972. The terror group Black September tried to kidnap and/or kill as many of the Israeli delegation as possible. For the most part, the plot failed but succeeded enough that it put an early end to the games. But that is not the case this year. This year we have a major competitor disinvited (Russia) and the countries who remain have been "chippy" towards each other. 

Then there was this. Amber Glenn, the self-professed pansexual (whatever that is), on a world stage, called out the Trump administration for not being understanding enough to the LGBTQ+ community. Note to Amber: when wearing the red, white and blue on the world stage, keep your yap shut about your opinions. You represent US - not just you. Then as if karma had wings, Amber was dinged some serious points in a subsequent event, which knocked her down to 13th place. Sorry Amber - no tears for you on that one.

At one time, the Olympics were a respite from the trials and tribulations of a troubled world. For just two weeks, the world community could come together and celebrate sports in a sportsmanlike competition. This year, I have noticed some cracks in that age old model. We can't allow politics to stain the pure sports being contested for. In 1968 in the Mexico City Olympics, we had two black track stars raise their closed fists on the podium. For all the world to see, we showed them that.

The Olympics has devolved into a lot of money to train some elites from many different countries. And to what gain? Do the competing nations get along better once the games are over? Seldom. What happens to the Olympic structures once the games are over? Quite often they are left to rust. 

My vote is simply this - time to hang it up folks. It was fun while it lasted, even with all the warts and bruises. But it is no longer fun. I don't want to be lectured by some pansexual in front of the rest of the world. Besides all of which, it is screwing up the new TV schedule. Full stop on this one. Now the hate mail can come in.

Not a thin dime Timmy - not even a penny!

"Want more money, Timmy? You should have thought about that before you let Curly and the rest of the DFL pee our HUGE surplus away in 2023. But that is on you, pal. Daddy is not going to give you any more allowance, especially for your unruly behavior. You have made this state into a national embarrassment, once again."

The arsonist who started the fire, now wants to be paid by the victims for doing so. Tim Walz, our arsonist Governor who literally burned down part of Minneapolis in 2020, now has figuratively burned down more of the state in 2025 due to his asinine sanctuary policies. And because of Tim Walz being recalcitrant with the federal government (ICE in particular), because of Walz not cooperating with the federal government, he now states that Minnesota has suffered financial "damages". Thus, the arsonist wants the victims to pay for his remiss. To that we respond, "Not a thin dime Timmy - not even a penny!"

The few remaining normals who live in this state, have had it with Tim Walz and his unhinged group of DFL comrades trying to gaslight us all the time. If not about ICE, then about the MASSIVE fraud issue in the Somali community. Both of these issues have made Minnesota even more unlivable than it has been in the past. Want more money, Timmy? You should have thought about that before you let Curly and the rest of the DFL pee our HUGE surplus away in 2023. But that is on you, pal. Daddy is not going to give you any more allowance, especially for your unruly behavior. You have made this state into a national embarrassment, once again.

Where do we go from here? The legislature gavels in today, and the one and only topic they should be discussing is our MASSIVE fraud issue. But no - the DFL will do Timmy's bidding and discuss how the federal government killed two innocent civilians. When in reality, the table was set by Walz and the DFL to have some kind of tragedy in the streets of Minneapolis. All it took was a spark and lives were lost. Own up to it Timmy - you and Frey own part (a large part) of this mess. 

But based on the past, allow me to forecast the future. Nothing will get done on the MASSIVE fraud issue. All that will happen is caterwauling from the DFL. The feds will have to come into town (in mass) to fix this thing. And as soon as the feds come in to do Timmy's work for him, the paid rioters will be back in the streets. The table will once again be set for something bad to happen. Just another spark.

To my Republican friends who sit in the MN House or Senate, good luck. You are in for days upon days of listening to gibberish tinged with loads of DFL gaslighting. You might need to stop into O'Mally's Pub on the way to session each morning. You might need an eye-opener or two just to get by.

 

 

Is Greenland really worth the spat?

"Many in Europe can't stand MAGA. To them it says America is only concerned with itself. That is wrong. Trump has explained it many times. He wants EVERY country to put itself first. Why? The world would be a better place that way. And that - is a cold hard fact." 

Why is there a family feud between the USA and Europe right now? You can throw in Canada with the Euro Zone, as Carney is more British than Canadian. The Democrats are worried sick that Donald Trump is going to queer the long-standing relationship we have had with Europe. Really? Maybe right now, at this point in history, some of the juice is not worth the squeeze. What Trump has done with our European allies is give them some truth talk. Told them to "man up" with their defense spending. Told them to get control of their borders so their out-of-control immigration system does not ruin them. Sorry - truth hurts.

In the eyes of many in Europe, we are the brat kids who are disrespecting their parents. In the eyes of many Americans, Europe has a very short memory. Like, we have saved their bacon more than once. And to make matters worse, Donald Trump thinks differently than the globalists in Europe. On just about everything. Including Greenland.

What are the facts about Greenland? First off, it is really a part of North America, and not Europe. Next, its strategic importance cannot be stressed enough. This has nothing to do with the US empire building - it has everything to do with the US establishing Greenland as an early warning site, as well as part of the Golden Dome, to ensure Russia cannot use that route for a hypersonic sneak attack. Plus, Greenland is rich in rare Earth minerals. If we don't extract them, Russia and China will. And if Russia or China make a move on Greenland, all Denmark will be able to do is watch it happen. Fact of life.

For EVERYBODYS security, Europe should be standing firm behind the US in getting Greenland part of our grid. The rare Earth minerals will help not only the US, but also NATO. The US has the technology in how to harvest them. And the oil under Greenland also would help oil starved Europe, so they would not have to buy from Russia anymore. 

Vance gave Europe the back of his hand last year. Some Marine Corp tough love. Europe whimpered and sulked after he left. Last week Rubio went to Germany and put some velvet on the brick. Softened the message - but it was still the message. Here is the bottom line, and I will say this as kindly as I can. Europe needs us more than we need Europe. Sorry, the Globalists have made Europe soft and full of DEI. Full of the love for green energy instead of the fuel which will make them strong. 

Many in Europe can't stand MAGA. To them it says America is only concerned with itself. That is wrong. Trump has explained it many times. He wants EVERY country to put itself first. Why? The world would be a better place that way. And that - is a cold hard fact.
