In talks with Trump envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner prior to the commencement of Operation Epic Fury, the Iranians boasted of their 440.9 kilograms of 60% enriched uranium, which they could have easily enriched to 90% in as little as two weeks. With that much weapons-grade uranium, in only two weeks time, the world would have woke up to a nightmare; namely, the mad mullahs of Iran armed with eleven nuclear bombs. Last Friday night, Iran fired two ballistic missiles at a joint US-UK military base on Diego Garcia, in the Indian Ocean. This shocking attack was definitely a wake-up call to the whole world, proving that Iran possesses the capability of firing ballistic missiles on targets 2500 miles away from Iran, which is double the range Iranian missiles were previously believed to have. Of course, this means that the mad mullahs, if allowed to arm themselves with eleven nuclear bombs, could have sent up mushroom clouds, in only two weeks time, in [1] London, England [2] Paris, France [3] Rome, Italy [4] Berlin, Germany [5] Warsaw, Poland [6] Athens, Greece [7] Budaest, Hungary [8] Vienna, Austria [9] Stockhom, Sweden [10] Amsterdam, Netherlands, and [11] Oslo, Norway. Yet, the majority of Americans, according to recent polls, as well as America's Democrat Party and mainstream media, are opposed to Operation Epic Fury, because it has temporarily raised gas prices. In other words, lower prices at the gas pump are far more important to most Americans than the prevention of mushroom clouds from going up all over Europe.

In Washington D.C., as Yogi Berra once said, “It’s deja vu all over again!” It looks like Republicans are about to cave in, as they always do, to Democrats’ demands, by agreeing to a deal that will end Democrats’ partial government shutdown. While it’s bad enough to let Democrats dictate their policies to our nation by means of political extortion; that is, government shutdowns, by which Democrats hold our country hostage until they get their way, what makes this deal even worse is that it will hamstring ICE from detaining and deporting millions of illegal immigrants that Democrats have allowed to flood into our country, in the hope of building the base of the Democratic Party and guaranteeing it perpetual power over our representative republic, which Democrats intend to transform into a socialist state under their iron fisted rule. Of course, as always, the reason for Republican cowardice is political expediency, Republicans fear that growing lines at airports, which inconvenience America’s jet setters, will eventually hurt Republican candidates at the polls. 

We hear over and over today that China, our number nemesis in the world, is playing the long game. Chinese communists are more than willing to suffer short-term pain to assure themselves of long-term gain. On the other hand, today’s Americans aren’t even willing to put up with temporary higher prices at the gas pump and longer lines at the airport to prevent such things as nuclear war and the transformation of our representative republic into a socialist state. I don’t know about you, but as far as I’m concerned, this certainly doesn’t bode well for the future of our country, which appears to be being forfeited for the sake of a pampered populace, unwilling to endure any cost, consequence, or inconvenience for the sake its own posterity.
