Iran's Mullahs Getting Massively Mauled

Its now confirmed that Khamenei and a whole host of the upper echelon of the Mullah's government in Iran have indeed been sent to meet their maker.

Included in that host is former President of Iran Mahmoud Ahmadinejad who had repressed his own people harshly, and announced that he would wipe Israel off the map. He has himself now been wiped off the map.  Poetic justice, that. 

The Israeli and American action against Iran seems to be focused on decapitating the despotic regime in order to assist the people of Iran change their regime to a less oppressive one, and also eliminating Iran as a regional threat and source of world terrorism. 

This is all to the good.

So far, 9 ships of Iran's navy have been sunk with the sinking of the remainder pending.

Meanwhile, protesters, here in America who can be counted on to protest against the USA are at it yet again, exchanging their Venezuelan flags for Iranian ones.  

These protestors regularly protest claiming that the USA is a despotic, theocratic, and anti-woman country (quick note - by any objective measure it is not any of those), are now busy protesting against the USA on behalf of what IS objectively a despotic,  theocratic, and anti-woman regime.

Meanwhile, the people of Iran are cheering the attacks against the Mullahs, demonstrating in the streets in support of the attacks, and shedding their theocraticaly-mandated-on-pain-of-death hijabs.

Iranians in the USA are similarly grateful for the actions to help end the theocratic regime. 

Funny, that. 

Bye Bye Khamenei?

Reports, so far unconfirmed, is that Ayatollah Khamanei has gone on to meet his appointment with judgment for his multitude of evil deeds, both to his own citizens, and to people around the world.

Times of Israel:  Israeli TV report, citing unnamed Israeli sources: Growing indications that Khamenei killed.

The Iranian regime seems to have been effectively decapitated in the initial Israeli strike, and the US strikes are cleaning up hitting Iranian command and control centers.  The Iranians are currently reacting by firing blindly, attacking the gulf states that were effectively neutral in this conflict until Iran started dropping missiles and drone attacks on them.

If this gives the Iranian people a chance to overthrow their despotic regime, which has just this year killed over 36,500 of its own people, this is a very good thing and an opportunity to stop the number one regime sponsoring terrorism through the Middle East and the world.

You Can Hope In One Hand . . .

The Detroit News: Macron hopes his recognition of a Palestinian state will be a landmark contribution to Mideast peace

Desperate to distract attention from his failures domestically in La Belle France, Macron decided to dip into the Middle East.

How'd his recognition announcement work out?  Well, not so good, at least not for anyone but Hamas and Macron's ego:

Politico: France’s recognition of Palestinian state scuttled Gaza truce talks, Rubio says

You mean rewarding a terrorist group after they committed terrorism and then throwing them a lifeline when they were on the ropes doesn't bring them to the bargaining table and lead to a cease fire and end to the fighting?

Sacré bleu! Who could have seen that coming?  Aside from, you know, everybody. 

The Highest-Scoring Ace of The Jet Age Has Gone West

Israeli Air Force Brigadier General (ret) Giora Epstein died this weekend at the age of 87.

General Epstein is the highest scoring ace of the jet age (so far), with 17 kills. The victories occurred in the Six Day War, the War of Attrition and the Yom Kippur War.

Four of those kills occurred during a single sortie during the Yom Kippur War when he was alone in a fight against 20 Egyptian aircraft - only breaking off the battle when he was low on fuel.

He was one of the world's great warriors and jet pilots. 

The Jerusalem Post:  Giora Epstein, IAF's top ace and most decorated pilot, passes away at 87

May his memory be a blessing, and an inspiration to airmen.

Democrats Learn A Little, Take Impeachment Off The Table

Democrats may just be learning that always being on the 20% side of an 80/20 issue isn't the best place to be.  Not if they're going to succeed in politics beyond their rather out of touch, Trump-hating, progressive, base.

The Detroit News: House shelves effort to impeach Trump over Iran strikes

As the strikes on Iran were impressively successful, effective, popular, and didn't cause World War III to break out, impeachment is off the table.

Someone likely also explained to the radical Dems pushing the matter that impeaching Trump for doing what Obama and other Democrat Presidents had regularly done would be a tad embarrassing should the matter move on to a hearing. 

After all,  Democrat Presidents had no problem using military action without Congressional Authorization, and in the case of Obama it was a whole lotta unauthorized military action.  Obama had over 25,000 bombs dropped without Congressional authorization.   Kinda hard to impeach Trump for doing that which the great Democrat light bringer did to a far, far greater (and much less successful) extent - and for which Democrats had supported him doing even as the same ones seek Trump's impeachment for less. Well, if the Dem politicos didn't have double standards, they'd have no standards at all, would they?

On top of that, as presidents, including future Democrat presidents, may need to use force without congressional Authorization in the future, this was likely not a winning move.

Good on Democrats to realize there's at least one 20/80 hill of theirs that they're not willing to die on. 

Israel Hits Iran

A nuclear-armed Iran is a threat not just to the region, but the world. 

The world's leading sponsor of terrorism, supporting the Houthis, Hamas, Hezbollah, and others, Iran has attacked Israeli and US personnel around the world.

When even the UN finally admits that Iran is on the road to acquiring a bomb, and has been actively hiding its activities from inspectors, it is more than late in the game to stop it.

UN.org: Atomic watchdog says Iran not complying with nuclear safeguards

It's more than overdue that action is taken to stop them from getting a working nuclear device, especially as they have continually worked to enrich uranium beyond the level required for "peaceful" nuclear power and towards the level for a bomb.

 PJ Media: BREAKING: Israel Bombs Iran in Preemptive Strike 

In addition to hitting research sites in Tehran, the main enrichment site at Natanz has reportedly been hit:

Fox News: Israel hits the ‘heart’ of Iran’s nuclear program in Natanz facility strike

Hopefully, the strikes are successful and Iran is setback yet again from its path to nuclear weapons. 

Hamas Perfidy And A Michigan Connection

So Hamas murdered Ariel (age 10) and Kfir Bibas  (age 4 months) by strangling them to death and then disfigured their bodies, and then to add insult to injury handed over coffins that were locked, stuffed with Hamas propaganda along with the bodies, and did not actually return Shiri Bibas' body, instead putting an unknown woman's body int the coffin (The body of was later handed over Friday night).

Hamas, with Iranian backing, also attempted to carry out a massive series of bombings in Israel, only failing due to setting the timers to 9pm rather than 9 am.

Hamas is yet again violating the ceasefire with these acts and expecting to get away with it, as more and more Hamas terrorists are released to kill again in return for live and dead hostages.

Meanwhile, our own Governor Whitmer of Michigan is busy gallivanting around Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates  on a junket with a Hamas apologist and Hezbollah supporter, Osama Siblani, that she brought along for the visit: 

Washington Free Beacon: He Said He'd Take Jews 'Back to Poland.' Gretchen Whitmer Took Him on an Official State Trip to the Middle East. Details of the trip and who she is meeting on it while hanging out with Siblani makes it even worse.

Words would fail to express the disgust that I have right now for our dear  governor half-whit. 

To be jaunting around with a Hamas apologist as Hamas commits terrorist attacks and continues to hold people hostage is beyond the pale.
