To be clear, I have evolved into an Isolationist due to Forever Wars and the idiocy of supporting a corrupt Ukrainian government that has exploited Globalist interests that provoked Putin’s Russia to invade.
THAT BEING SAID … Iran is among the craziest of Islamic regimes governed by death-cult Twelver Shi’ite Muslims (SEE HERE & HERE) who have spouted Death to America and Death to Israel ever since they came to power in the late 1970s.
Anything to do with Nuclear Energy being developed in Iran imperatively should be met with skepticism. If an Iranian Mullah claims peaceful nuclear energy, I have no doubt it is Islamic Taqiyya deceptive lying for nuclear weapon development.
And so bombing Iranian nuclear development sites works for me. A surgical in-and-out operation works for me. The Isolationism I now embrace DOES NOT want American boots on the ground.
I realize Putin’s Russia blustered about such a Trump decision. I had little worries about a Russian response. Russia cannot even close their military deal with corrupt Ukraine.
CCP ruled China is another story. I am curious if the CCP will respond with anything beyond verbal bluster. Therein could lie the problem of WWIII sparks. Frankly, my sense is the CCP will not do more than bluster because it will not be cost-effective to their economy already stung by Trump tariffs. The next couple of days will demonstrate how bold or the lack thereof the CCP is.
Then there are the Dem-Marxist and anti-Trump RINOs at home calling for Impeachment over bombing Iran’s Nuke capabilities. THAT IS A LOAD OF DEM HYPOCRISY since Dem Presidents performed military strikes without Congressional approval and not one single (Dumb) Dem called for the impeachment of their Dem President.
Jonathan Turley highlights this Dem Hypocrisy with his recent post, “The Claude Rains School of Constitutional Law: Democrats Denounce Iranian Attack as Unconstitutional”. You should read the Turley post. But I have suspicion that younger readers will have no clue about the Claude Rains reference. Since I am a bit of an old movie buff I feel compelled to enlighten younger generations.
The reference are the characters in the 1942 classic movie Casablanca starring Humphrey Bogart and Claude Rains among other huge stars of the era. Rains played the corrupt Vichy France cop (Vichy France was controlled by Nazi Germany at the time) Captain Louis Renault who was on the take. If you get a chance watch the entire movie. You will notice a lot of dialogue that became American trivia slang. Turley’s post ingeniously stamps corrupt Capt. Renault with present day Dem hypocrisy 7-second clip from the movie:

I’m going to cross post Greg Holt’s thoughts from Inspirational Christian Blogs under the title, “U.S. Bombs Iran’s Nuclear Sites in Devastating Strikes”. It’s short and I agree.
BUT I really like the argument supporting President Trump’s actions against Iranian nuclear development from Douglas V. Gibbs at the Canada Free Press entitled, “President Trump’s Constitutional Strike Against Iran”. Gibbs points out the Founders’ perception of the Constitution between the Executive Branch and the Legislative Branch in dividing “the power to wage war and the power to declare war”. It is smartly presented and I agree.

U.S. Bombs Iran’s Nuclear Sites in Devastating Strikes

Finally, the United States, under President Donald Trump bombed Iran’s nuclear facilities into oblivion.
Obama and Biden spewed leftist drivel and waffled on what could be done to stop Iran, AND gave the world’s largest sponsor of terror – BILLIONS of dollars (A substantial amount of this was in cash) which of course went to fund Iran’s terror activities, and/or their continuing development of nuclear weapons.
Sometime late Saturday night (Sunday in Iran), the U.S. bombed three Iranian nuclear sites, including Fordo (Literally built under a mountain that ONLY the U.S. is capable of destroying), where Iran was enriching uranium that was very close to being enriched to the level needed to be able to be used in the manufacturing of nuclear weapons.
Iran has repeated many times over the tale that their uranium enrichment program is ONLY for peaceful civilian usage. This is a LIE. Civilian usage of uranium only requires the enrichment level to be at around 3-5%, including for nuclear power plants. Iran’s uranium is/was above the 80% mark. Iran was obviously intending to build nukes, only an idiot would think otherwise.
Naturally, leftist morons (As well as a few Republicans), like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC), immediately began shouting “impeach Trump.” After all, how DARE Trump do this without congressional approval, or more like AOC’s approval, the nerve.
It’s funny, not really, how the Democratic president, Barack Obama ordered airstrikes against 7 countries, 3 of those were for sure done WITHOUT congressional approval, so where was AOC and the rest of the Dems outcry on those strikes????
The Democrats of course would rather attempt to talk Iran to death. The October 7, 2023 attack on Israel has shown how effective the Dems approach to solving the “Iranian” problem is.
Please stop and think about this for one moment if you will: if Iran was to attack Israel with a nuclear bomb, the chances are high that the radioactive fallout from the explosion would blow right back into Iran. Iran’s nuclear program was never about attacking Israel, as much as they would like to eradicate Israel from the face of the Earth, it was and is about attacking the United States!
Thank God we have a strong president willing to do what it takes to defend the U.S., unlike the Democrats who talk and try to bribe people into backing off. That worked well with Iraq, Iran, and ISIS, don’t you think?

President Trump’s Constitutional Strike Against Iran
Donald J. Trump means business, and the enemies of America have just learned what happens when they bet against him. Guaranteed, Xi Jinping of China and Vladimir Putin of Russia were paying close attention
U.S. Strikes 3 Sites in Iran (CFP Photo)

"To be prepared for war is one of the most effectual means of preserving peace."--George Washington
Last night President Donald J. Trump has demonstrated what leadership is all about in the face of global evil. He operated with precision, iron resolve and cunning when he ordered the bombing of three nuclear sites in Iran--eliminating key facilities before the Iranian regime could complete the construction of a nuclear weapon. This was not an act of aggression--it was an act of necessity. It was an act of peace through strength. It was a move that no other recent President, nor any member of Congress, would have the guts to carry out.
In the Articles of Confederation they pointed out that there are two separate war powers: the power to wage war and the power to declare war
Joe Biden was literally funding Iran’s nuclear program. A smart Commander in Chief must sometimes take action--using quick strikes to preserve the peace--because Islamic extremists were building a nuclear bomb…and it is all no longer a problem because of President Donald Trump.
And now the Democrats and a certain collection of weak-kneed Republicans are wringing their hands, quoting Article I, Section 8, and proclaiming we are in the middle of some kind of constitutional crisis.
Let’s understand what the Constitution actually says. Yes, the Constitution in Article I, Section 8 gives Congress the power to declare war. But that is not the same as waging war. The Founding Fathers--men who had just fought off the greatest military power on earth at the time--knew that distinction. They knew that while war must be declared by Congress, which is an official announcement to the world that a state of war exists, the execution of war--the tactical, operational, and rapid-fire decisions--must belong to one man: the Commander in Chief.
The Articles of Confederation failed because it shackled the general government, and the executive was just another bureaucrat in the Congress. Under that system, America was a sitting duck in a world full of empires--slow to respond, unable to defend herself, vulnerable to enemies who don’t wait for committee hearings, and unable to take any decisive action with an energetic figurehead. So, when the Constitution was drafted, they separated the war powers. In the Articles of Confederation they pointed out that there are two separate war powers: the power to wage war and the power to declare war--and they gave both of them to the legislature.
He acted, and he acted quickly, decisively, and surgically
With the Constitution, those two powers were separated with the power to declare war going to the Congress and the power to wage war landing squarely with the President of the United States.
"It will be said that we should make war only upon formal declaration, but [pirates and tyrants] don’t wait for formalities."--Thomas Jefferson
President Thomas Jefferson didn’t need a Congressional war declaration to send American forces after the Barbary Pirates. James Madison in the Second Barbary War didn’t either. They understood that enemies who attack commerce and threaten American sovereignty do not deserve a legislative process before receiving American justice.
Iran, today’s largest global state sponsor of terrorism has been actively building nuclear weapons. They chant "Death to America" with religious fervor. They fund proxy armies from Gaza to Lebanon to Yemen. And while the Leftist Democrats in America obsess over pronouns and false claims of man-made climate change, Iran was preparing to put a nuclear-tipped ICBM in the air.
What did Trump do?
He acted, and he acted quickly, decisively, and surgically.
No boots on the ground. No occupation. No long-term entanglement. Just three strategic strikes with B-2 bombers under the cover of darkness (Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan were struck at about 2:30 am Iran Time)--eliminating Iran’s nuclear capabilities in a matter of minutes. The element of surprise was critical. If President Trump had to go to Congress, it would’ve taken months, leaked to the press, debated in subcommittees, and telegraphed to Tehran before the first vote was cast.
By then, we’d be counting bodies in the millions.
Trump’s actions were not only legal--they were constitutional, moral, and necessary
Iran’s nuclear program wasn’t just a regional threat--it was/is a potential global nightmare. And President Trump, along with Prime Minister Netanyahu of Israel, understands what the armchair critics in Washington D.C. do not: Evil must be stopped before it becomes unstoppable.
Never mind the hypocrisy.
Every military engagement since World War II--Korea, Vietnam, Libya, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria--has been done without a formal declaration of war. But now, because it’s Trump, suddenly the Left wants to hug the Constitution like they haven’t spent the last 50 years using it for toilet paper?
Trump’s actions were not only legal--they were constitutional, moral, and necessary. And let me be clear: if Iran retaliates, President Trump has not only the authority, but the duty, to finish the job.
The Founders believed in limited government, but not in suicidal government. A Commander in Chief must be able to act in the interest of national defense--and that’s what Trump did.
"A free people ought not only to be armed, but disciplined…"--George Washington
Thanks to President Donald J. Trump the American people can sleep well tonight. Iran no longer has the means to build a nuclear bomb. That’s not thanks to a U.N. resolution, or a meaningless treaty or a deal with a people who lie, deceive and wish every last American to be dead. The world is a safer place and the bully of the Middle East is no longer a threat thanks to a President who doesn’t blink.
Donald J. Trump means business, and the enemies of America have just learned what happens when they bet against him. Guaranteed, Xi Jinping of China and Vladimir Putin of Russia were paying close attention.
