Reliable reports from a variety of sources confirm President Trump had ordered a major escalation of combat with Iran for this past weekend only to call it off Saturday night. 

President Trump knows the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps lies and that they cheat. 

There’s no reason to believe that they’ll not lie and cheat again. It is who they have always been. Since the revolution in 1979, the Iranian regime’s negotiators have fooled both Presidents Carter and Obama in comprehensive fashion, other presidents to some degree, but they have never fooled Donald Trump.

Until this past weekend at least.

Can we still pull of a win against the terrorist regime in Tehran?

Yes. 

But only the president can do that. Not our allies. Not his advisors. Certainly not the legacy media.

Trump has been surprising and indeed startling his critics for his nearly dozen years in politics. I’m hoping he has at least one more huge surprise in store.

Hugh Hewitt: Trump’s Legacy and Iran

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/5e27a451-e6e6-4c51-aa03-a7370003783c/clips/3b215672-4e32-4d74-9bea-b49e013d3e83/transcript

With Abdul El-Sayed’s victory in Michigan, the Democratic party has gone from Barack Obama denouncing those who said America deserved 9/11 to campaigning with those who say just that, like Hasan Piker, the left’s most famous podcaster.  As the political philosopher Jerry Garcia wrote: “What a long, strange trip it’s been.” 

El-Sayed is the latest success endorsed and campaigned for by the Marxist-Islamist axis of the Democratic Socialists of America. This juggernaut is proving unstoppable in taking over the Democratic party.

A generation ago, a real political philosopher, Harry Jaffa, pointed out: That with the fall of the Berlin Wall, utopian communism would no longer be seen as simply a threat from abroad—but a more “deadly and dangerous phase” here at home could follow.

Quite right—a wall can stop people, but not their ideas.  That enemy ishere, and potent.  The two-party system is now looking Republican on one hand and Marxist-Islamists on the other.  We cannot simply wish this away or ignore it.

As most Americans know, the Democratic Party has begun a dangerous flirtation with the Democratic Socialists of America. What’s shocking is how far and how fast the rot has spread.

To his credit, Democratic Congressman Tom Suozzi is pushing back with a pledge called the “Promise to America.” Its three core principles are simple common sense. We’re capitalist, not socialist. We want safety, not lawlessness. And we’re proud, not ashamed, of America.

Here’s the disturbing part: of the 212 House Democrats, only 13 have signed on. That tells you how mainstream socialist ideas have become in the Democratic Party, and how radicals have intimidated the moderates.

It’s shocking that these simple principles are now controversial in a major American political party. That should concern every voter who values freedom. Let’s hope it’s a wake-up call.

Carol Platt Liebau: A Wake-Up Call for Voters

How can you spot a racist? It's easy to do, especially in the Protection Racket Media. Just look for those who bring race into arguments as non-sequiturs in order to demagogue people whose opinions fall outside the elites' comfort zone. 

Thus we come to Howard Bryant and the Guardian. Reporters asked Indiana Fever star Sophie Cunningham to take a position on male intrusion on women’s sports. Cunningham opposed it as the “common sense” position. In response, Bryant offered a bizarre rant in which he claimed Cunningham was “anti-Black” as well as “anti-transgender.”

This follows an equally bizarre essay from USA Today columnist Nancy Armour, which argued that Fever star Caitlin Clark should absorb more fouls without redress because Emmitt Till got lynched in the 1950s. Rather than address the real issue, sportswriters pulled a race card on both women. 

Sports media has become a new haven for craven and woke demagoguery.

Don’t trust them.
