First World Bombs From Third World Trumpenstein

I was on R.B. Ham’s “Beyond the Pale” podcast recently, when I said that it looked like Donald Trump was giving us another of his ingenious head fakes, and was pulling back from Iran. Literally at that moment, R.B. put the breaking news up on the screen. It brought back memories of Syria, when Israel ordered Trump to attack them.

That’s why I don’t make predictions. There I was, left looking like Nellie Connally, after she told JFK, “Well, Mr. President, you can’t say Dallas doesn’t love you,” seconds before shots were fired by someone other than Lee Harvey Oswald. I don’t know if this means we will become truly involved, but I hope Trump will replay his actions on Syria, when it was a one and done thing. Well, one and done two times. That’s the thing about Trumpenstein; he plays the part of an effective bully, but when Israel talks, he listens. Supposedly, the bombs eviscerated four well known nuclear sites in Iran. Except that many of us, including our own intelligence agencies just a few months ago, don’t believe there are any nuclear sites in Iran. For all we know, our big, beautiful bombs killed a bunch of civilians. It’s not like we haven’t slaughtered civilians countless times, dating back to 1846, in the Mexican-American War.

As Marjorie Taylor Greene pointed out, no one voted for Trump so that he could attack Iran. No MAGA voter wanted to make Iran obsolete. Tulsi Gabbard embarrassed herself by backtracking her earlier, accurate comments on Iran’s nuclear capability. Maybe RFK, Jr. can give her Rabbi Shmuley’s phone number. We knew Trump would do whatever Israel said- the guy has streets named after him there. But at the heart of MAGA is an America First philosophy. No more “senseless wars,” as Trump has called them. Becoming entangled in Iran, or anywhere else, completely discredits the blustery leader of that movement. Trump is in his fifth year as president. Where’s that infrastructure upgrade? And what is DOGE auditing now? When will Kash Patel make his first arrest? Karoline Leavitt is lovely, and Pam Bondi looks great for her age. That may enough for Trumpenstein, but not for his voters.

Well, I suppose we have to show off all that artillery sometimes. When you have a trillion dollar defense budget, people expect you to drop a few bombs here and there. Collateral damage- lots of collateral
