Hugh Hewitt and Pete Peterson on Why Orange County Flipped Blue

As we watch President Trump and all that’s happening with Iran and Khomeini, I think the situation can be summed up succinctly:

One door is marked "Truman/Reagan" and the other door is marked "Carter/Obama/Biden."

On three different occasions, Trump has walked through the first door:
He ordered the assassination of General Qasem Soleimani, the head of the Iran’s Quds Force in January of 2020 in Iraq.
Trump followed that up with his second-term order to conduct Operation Midnight Resolve against Iran’s nuclear weapons facilities in June last year.
And then we saw Operation Absolute Resolve to snatch Venezuelan dictator Nicholas Maduro in January.

Now President Trump has to decide which door to walk through yet again.

President Trump’s choice will define his place in history.

America’s national security and the hope of the Iranian people and the future of the Middle East depends upon this decision.

Pray he chooses wisely.

When Tom Homan announced an end to Operation Metro Surge last week, he declared it a success. Federal law enforcement detained thousands of illegal aliens, located many lost children, and most importantly, forced Minnesota to end its obstruction of immigration enforcement as a “sanctuary” jurisdiction.

The media painted the drawdown in the Twin Cities as a retreat. Homan appeared on CBS’ Face the Nation with a response: Other “sanctuary” jurisdictions that refuse to cooperate with immigration enforcement will see similar surges in their cities and states.

“I'm hoping other sanctuary cities look at what happened in Minnesota, and how we got to the place we're at, which I think is a good place,” Homan said.

If not, Homan warned, he will “flood the zone” in those jurisdictions to complete the mission of full enforcement. And he warned Minnesota officials that he will keep a security force in place there to ensure that “local police coordination stays in place.”

This is what America voted for.

Blue state fraud continues — and as tax season approaches, Americans may wonder just how much of their money funds outright corruption.

In California, a firm that was paid more than one hundred million dollars to build housing for the homeless failed to deliver. Instead, its CEO embezzled more than two million dollars, spent on a luxury lifestyle and contributions to Democratic politicians, including Gavin Newsom. 

Oregon paid over two million dollars in Medicaid funds to what was billed as an addiction recovery provider. It was actually a drug den, linked to Tren de Aragua. Its operators were tied to a sixty million dollar fraud ring that laundered money by sending it to Rwanda.

Not long ago, the Biden administration demanded law abiding Americans account for six hundred dollar Venmo transactions. That’s some nerve, while this kind of lawlessness flourishes.
