Trump Delays Strikes on Iranian Energy Sites 5 Days
President Donald Trump announced Monday he is postponing planned U.S. military strikes on Iranian energy infrastructure for five days after what he described as "very good and productive" talks with Tehran. "I AM PLEASED TO REPORT THAT THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND THE COUNTRY OF IRAN, HAVE HAD, OVER THE LAST TWO DAYS, VERY GOOD AND PRODUCTIVE CONVERSATIONS REGARDING A COMPLETE AND TOTAL RESOLUTION OF OUR HOSTILITIES IN THE MIDDLE EAST," Trump wrote on Truth Social. "BASED ON THE TENOR AND TONE OF THESE IN DEPTH, DETAILED, AND
CONSTRUCTIVE CONVERSATIONS, WHICH WILL CONTINUE THROUGHOUT THE WEEK, I
HAVE INSTRUCTED THE DEPARTMENT OF WAR TO POSTPONE ANY AND ALL MILITARY
STRIKES AGAINST IRANIAN POWER PLANTS AND ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE FOR A
FIVE DAY PERIOD, SUBJECT TO THE SUCCESS OF THE ONGOING MEETINGS AND
DISCUSSIONS."
The move marks a notable shift from Trump's warning Saturday night, when he issued an ultimatum to Iran, signaling the U.S. was prepared to strike power plants and key energy facilities within 48 hours if Tehran failed to de-escalate and reopen the Strait of Hormuz to safe passage. Iran on Sunday responded to Trump's ultimatum by threatening to fully close the Strait of Hormuz if the U.S. attacked power plants. © 2026 Newsmax. All rights reserved. |
Sen. John Kennedy Goes Full Beast Mode on Cowardly Colleague: 'By God, Stand Up and Face the Unpaid!'
 |
I'll say it plainly: Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) is a national treasure. I mean, I think I'm pretty fluent in the delivery of folksy aphorisms, but Senator Kennedy has me beat six ways from Sunday. More to the point, Senator Kennedy is a man with a well-developed sense of propriety, which has led him to propose that, as long as some members of the Senate (Democrats) are blocking legislation that would get Transportation Security Administration (TSA) employees paid, then the Senate shouldn't get paid, either. Seems only fair, yes? On Sunday, while the matter was being debated, and while Senator Kennedy had the floor, he moved for a motion to cut off every Senator's pay until TSA was getting paid. The post continues:
Here's where things went south. Next, there was an objection, apparently from Democrat Senator Brian Schatz (D-HI) - who then fled the chamber, leaving the proceedings and Senator Kennedy baffled. Watch: Again, the post continues:
It's not clear what happened exactly, as the camera was on Senator Kennedy - but you can hear, faintly, the shout of "Objection," which was recognized - and then Senator Schatz... He fled. He grew feathers. He bailed. He ran. Like brave Sir Robin, he bravely ran away. I've watched a few House and Senate proceedings, and I have to admit, I've never seen that before.Read More: Sen. Kennedy's Epic Takedown of Keir Starmer for Failure to Step Up on Iran That's when Senator Kennedy went beast mode, and it was glorious. Senator Kennedy shouted:
Unless we later learn that Senator Schatz did, as Senator Kennedy graciously suggested, suddenly fall ill, then this was a perfectly shameful performance. This is the United States Senate. This august institution is supposed to include members who can marshal arguments and present them coherently. It is unworthy of the Senate to house a coward who yells out an objection and flees, just to halt a resolution - a resolution aimed at upping the incentive to get TSA agents, federal employees, paid again. There are mutterings that Senator Schatz is being considered to replace Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) as the Democrats' Senate leader. I can think of worse choices - but only just. |
Mamma Mia! Italian Anarchist Couple Blow Themselves Up While Trying to Engineer Mass Casualty IED
 |
Your parents, or at least your teachers, probably droned on about the importance of doing your homework, because a lack of knowledge and/or skill can negatively affect your job prospects and hopes for a successful life. As annoying as their exhortations may have been when you were a youth, it turns out they were right: not having a clue can cost you everything — even your life, as this Italian couple found out the hard way:
Police believed Alessandro Mercogliano, 53, and 36-year-old Sara Ardizzone
were plotting an attack against a police station and Leonardo, a defence contractor, which made parts for F-35 jets.
“No! Not that wire – the other one!"
Forgive me if I find it darkly humorous, but I have zero regret or compassion for people who had planned to indiscriminately kill innocent people. If they meet a nasty, self-inflicted death, I won't be reaching for the Kleenex. Sorry, not sorry.

If you don't find this case nauseating enough on its own, take a look at how Pakistan TV, that nation's official state-owned English news and current affairs channel, framed it. We often rail against our Democrat propagandist mainstream press, but this is truly special: it was a "tragic accident" that just so happened to strike a lovely couple who were just "preparing a protest": CNN and The New York Times would be so proud. In a word: Repugnant. As is so often with cases like these, the would-be mass murderers have their slogans — it’s all about a “war against the oppressors” — but you get the feeling that they don’t actually have any core convictions that really mean anything. They just want to kill people. So congratulations to them. They did kill people — themselves. Arrivederci, sayonara, au revoir, toodle‑oo. You'll probably be memorialized as twisted but somehow noble heroes in a Hollywood/Netflix avant-garde film someday, but for now, you are just what you are: dead would-be killers. Here's a hearty grazie for saving the authorities the trouble of taking out the trash. |
Trump Threatens Weak-Kneed Republicans—No DHS Funding Deal Until Dems Cave on SAVE America Act
President Trump is offering zero room for retreat, surrender, or tolerance for Republicans to capitulate on Department of Homeland Security (DHS) funding without forcing the Democrat party's hand on the ever-crucial SAVE America Act.
In a fiery post on Truth Social
late Sunday evening, the President dropped the hammer on milquetoast
Republicans and the "country-destroying" resistance party currently
holding the DHS hostage.
No deal. None. Until the Democrats relent on passing the Act, a key election integrity measure requiring proof of citizenship and photo ID for voting.
Trump made it crystal clear he’s willing to let the shutdown chaos—which the Democrats instigated and have consistently voted to keep in place—drag on indefinitely.
"I don’t think we should make any deal with the Crazy, Country Destroying, Radical Left Democrats unless, and until, they vote with Republicans to pass 'THE SAVE AMERICA ACT,'" he wrote. "It is far more important than anything else we are doing in the Senate ..."
Trump blasted any deal involving cuts to ICE—even disguised—as unacceptable unless bundled with the full SAVE America Act.
The President would also like to see a firm stand on men in women's sports and gender mutilation of children.
All of this—ALL of this—is overwhelmingly supported by the American people. Across party lines. Across races and other demographics.
Trump went on to suggest that any Republicans opposing these things should "never be elected again" and leaders in the Senate should "kill the filibuster" and get it done by staying in the nation's capital through the Easter holiday if necessary.

READ MORE: Cornyn Caves to Trump, Admits SAVE America Act More Vital Than Filibuster As He Courts Endorsement
Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) has thus far cast the only GOP vote against the SAVE America Act.
Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) took to the floor of the Senate over the weekend to point out the many, many flaws in the Democrat party's arguments in opposition to the SAVE America Act.
"They [Democrats] say, 'Well, it's [voting] a constitutionally-protected right. Darn right it is! And it's our job to make sure that that's protected," Lee said. "But the fact that it's a constitutionally-protected right in no way, shape, or form means that we have to make it easy to vote, and screw the rest. Let's let them cheat."
And that, right there, is why the opposition is fighting tooth and nail to stop legislation that a vast majority of Americans view as simple common sense. They can't stand to see actual Americans have easier access to voting, while simultaneously making it harder for nefarious actors to cheat in our elections.

Senate Democrats, meanwhile, have blocked a House-passed bill to fully fund DHS for the fifth time since the shutdown began on February 14th. They are continuing to hold the funding hostage over their demands on behalf of illegal immigrants (their greatest asset), even as airport chaos worsens and frontline workers go unpaid.
As Trump said in another social media screed over the weekend, the radical left is "the greatest enemy America has."
There isn't a close second, really.
President Trump has suggested that if the Senate is unable to get the SAVE America Act across the finish line, he would pursue an executive order to enforce strict voter ID requirements nationwide, vowing it will happen before the 2026 midterms.
— Rapid Response 47 (@RapidResponse47) February 13, 2026
"Republicans must put this at the top of every speech — It is a CAN’T MISS FOR RE-ELECTION IN THE MIDTERMS, AND BEYOND!" the President insisted.
Such an order, however, would almost assuredly get bogged down in the courts with a slew of lawsuits.
Voter ID is a non-controversial issue. Americans want it. Even Democrat voters want it. And, despite Democrats suggesting minorities and women aren't bright enough to clear the hurdles to secure identification, every demographic wants it.
"Voter ID is NOT controversial in this country. A photo ID to vote is NOT controversial in this country. It is not controversial by party, and it is not controversial by race," CNN data guru Harry Enten recently explained. "The vast majority of Americans agree.”
In fact, the only group opposed to it is the far-left extremists running the Democrat party at present.
In a sane world, a bill like the SAVE America Act would zip through both chambers of Congress and be on the President's desk in short order. Instead, hampered by Democrats who seek to allow fraud to run rampant and Republicans who oftentimes struggle to find a spine to fight back against the fraud, the President has to continually explain why this matter is a hill to die on. For the sake of this country.
His fiery social media posts will only go so far. Is there no other leader out there who can see this through?
Trump won't back down, and neither should Senate Republicans.
Editor's Note: The Democrats are doing everything in their power to undermine the integrity of our elections.
This Murder of a US Student Is Getting Suffocated by the Media...Because It's Laken Riley 2.0
 |
Last week, in Chicago, Sheridan Gorman, 18, was walking with friends early in the morning on March 19 when she was shot and killed by Jose Medina, 25. He has been charged with first-degree murder. There hasn’t been much media coverage of her death because the suspect is an illegal alien. Second, it’s typical liberal media bias. And third, it’s a Laken Riley 2.0-type of story. Gorman was a student at Loyola University (via NYT):
“She was failed by open border policies and sanctuary politicians,” said Lauren Bis, a spokeswoman for the Department of Homeland Security, in a statement that called for the man to remain in jail.
As Fox News’ Bill Melugin posted on social media, “Yet another Venezuelan illegal alien allowed into the country by the Biden administration, then released again by a sanctuary jurisdiction on a shoplifting arrest, now accused of murdering an innocent young American college student.” It’s another case of an American citizen who should be alive, and would’ve been, if we enforced our immigration laws. Specifically, if Democrats allowed law enforcement to do this instead of opening the floodgates. When liberals say, ‘Well, American citizens also commit crimes too,’ that isn’t an argument. It’s not even a good pivot, especially to the families of the victims. Could Ms. Gorman have been killed by an American? Sure, but her death was avoidable since Medina shouldn’t have been here at all. Enforcing the law saves lives, you Democrat morons. It’s also unseemly and grossly dismissive of the emotional trauma families have endured, thanks to Democrats wanting to let illegal immigrants pour in here without restrictions. But this is also how they keep their party relevant. Without illegals, Democrats are nothing. These illegals are trash. Find them. Arrest them. And deport them by any means necessary. |
No, MAGA Is Not Falling Apart Because a Few Podcasters Did Not Get Their Way
 |
Oh no, the America First/MAGA coalition is completely falling apart because – and I want to make sure I’ve got this correct – Donald Trump has systematically destroyed a bunch of Third World semi-human pagan savages who have been murdering Americans for nearly 50 years before they could top a missile with a hot rock and nuke Philadelphia. Yeah, the coalition is gravely disappointed – but not in Trump. It’s disappointed that a small component of his coalition that, for reasons that remain elusive and probably involve extreme greed, a psychotic break, gross stupidity, and/or libertarianism, which is an amalgamation of all three, has decided to adopt views that are functionally identical to those of the damn communists. This is both inevitable and unsustainable. Coalitions have tensions. They resolve; we’re going to be fine. Here’s the thing. Donald Trump built a new coalition. He brought together a whole bunch of people who were united by a resistance to the gooey, nanny-state socialist woke blob that was doing the bidding of our garbage ruling class and screwing us over in the process. But the thing about a coalition is that coalitions are composed of different groups with different interests. In 2024, folks like me and most of you – straight-up patriots, largely Republican, who love America, love freedom, and hate the woke communist self-hating garbage that has infiltrated so many of our institutions – united with other factions to put Donald Trump back in office. Now, the folks like me and you, pretty much the normal conservatives, make up the vast majority of the Trump coalition. But we don’t make up a majority of the country. To win a majority, we had to unite with other folks to beat Kamala. That is, we created a coalition. But we don’t agree with those other people on everything. We agree with them on a lot. Some of these groups we probably agree with on 75-80 percent of the stuff, and that’s pretty good. A coalition in which you agree with people on most things is strong. But it’s those places where you differ that the cracks and the fissures develop. It’s the seams where the coalition is vulnerable to fracture. And there’s some fracturing going on now. The question is whether it will break the coalition apart. Before we talk about
where the coalition is cracking, let’s talk about what the coalition is
made up of. We have the aforementioned normal Republicans. Again, these
are flag, faith, and family folks who like America, and are generally
not living bizarre lifestyles that involve multiple genders, animated
animal costumes, or welfare fraud. It’s the majority of the Republican
Party. It’s not all of the Republican Party; it’s about 80 percent+ of
it, to judge from the polls of Republicans that show Trump has about 80 percent+ GOP support
on Iran. The Republican Party is, itself, a coalition and is composed
of several factions besides normal Republicans, like establishment
shills and Never Trump traitors. The shills use the Republican Party as a
vehicle for personal gain and power. They will be with us as long as
it’s to their advantage. The Never Trump types are as faithful to other
Republicans as their wives are to them when Pablo the Pool Boy shows up.
The loud and proud Never Trumpers long ago disassociated themselves
with the GOP. It’s the hidden ones who are the problem; when they
finally reveal themselves and see they’ve got no future, they feel free
to indulge their pro-Democrat inclinations. But enough about Thom
Tillis.
The Trump coalition is not only these normal Republicans, but it is also some folks who were previously associated with the left. Look at the MAHA Moms – vaccine skepticism and inverting the food pyramid, where about -12 on a scale of 1 to 10 in importance for regular Republicans. But it was 10 out of 10 for the MAHA Moms. Donald Trump brought Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., into the coalition and threw that part of the coalition oversight of American health. Which was fine with normal Republicans – if you’re telling us we should eat more steak, we’re all ears. And, frankly, the disgraceful behavior of Science Inc. during COVID-19 and otherwise made us quite willing to give people we might, in other contexts, have thought of as crackpots a crack at fixing our society. While SNL did a very funny take of (I know, the sun coming up in the west, right?) on The Pitt if run by RFK, Jr., the biggest and best joke they could do about the Health Secretary was that he’s like 75 years old and super muscular. We should all be so lucky. Another significant group was the pod bro contingent. In many cases, these were associated with libertarians, so you know where this is going. But JD Vance is also somewhat associated with them, though that may change. Many of them were young men completely alienated by the Democrats’ war on, well, young men. Their avatars were guys like Joe Rogan, Tucker Carlson, and Candace Owens. They hated wokeness, but they also hated what they called "forever wars." And not without good cause. Our establishment killed and maimed countless Americans through its utterly inept foreign policies and failed execution of military projects. Trump was the first to speak out as a Republican against the Iraq War in no uncertain terms, and his opposition to that kind of foolishness was key to winning over this particular demographic. But pod people seemed to hear what they wanted to hear from Donald Trump, not what Donald Trump was saying. Donald Trump is no pacifist. Donald Trump is a Jacksonian. Donald Trump is happy to use the United States military as a Louisville slugger to beat Third World scum who get uppity with the United States into a pulp. But he’s not willing to waste American lives where there’s no cognizable interest, nor where we’re doing uncompensated work for alleged allies who won’t pull their weight. Yes, we’re talking about you, NATO, which is right next to Ukraine, and is eager to fight Russia to the last drop of American blood. There are other little groups, too. Some people overlap groups. But the bottom line is this: this is a coalition. These are different groups with different focuses, each expecting a slice of the pie of power. The Democrats do this, too. They’ve got their coalition – normie liberals, race communists, various flavors of perverts, as well as ethnic hustlers, criminal excusers, and welfare cheats. We’ve happily exploited the fault lines in their coalition, and now they’re exploiting the ones in ours. That’s why, suddenly, Marjorie Taylor Greene – if only this could be the last time I ever have to mention that creature, who is about 47 minutes into her 15 minutes of fame – is all over CNN. That’s why Joe Kent, who should have more common sense, is getting approving tweets from Bernie Sanders and the like. The podcast people have turned on Donald Trump, not because he started a war with Iran, but because he decided to finish one. It bears repeating – it is not a forever war if you win it. The real objection to those wars was losing them. And Donald Trump intends to win this one despite the full-scale fake panic of people who seem more than a little committed to America’s defeat. Why that is unclear – I’m convinced that a psychotic break explains why Tucker Carlson is sounding like a daddy-disappointing 23-year-old gender studies sophomore from Oberlin. But others just see they can carve out a tiny, but lucrative, niche by hating on the guy who made them relevant in the first place. Now, we may lose some of the podcast people, but the idea that this is somehow because of a betrayal by Donald Trump is idiocy, if not an outright lie. Donald Trump never promised to withdraw America into some sort of shame closet of Thomas Massie- approved isolationist onanism and allow bizarre primitives to hassle the United States without fear of our righteous wrath. He promised no more endless wars pushed by our garbage elite and fought by normal Americans that resulted in tactical victories and strategic defeats. He rejected the Rules of Engagement Theory of warfare, which prioritizes upholding an arbitrary standard imposed by academics far outside the battlefield, instead of embracing the one and only metric that matters in war: victory. And Trump is keeping his promise. But will this shatter MAGA? Well, according to at least one poll, Donald Trump has achieved a North Korean dictator-level of support of 100 percent among MAGA. It’s not at all clear why a minority portion of the coalition would expect Donald Trump to embrace their radical minority view regarding the masculinity of our foreign policy. The podcast people are basically rounding errors when it comes to numbers – they’re just very loud. We normals are a much bigger group, and we strongly support the president. Why is it a betrayal for our president to do what the vast majority of the coalition wants, instead of catering to a few bespoke ideological neophytes who just became political last week and now expect us to embrace the brand new bunch of beliefs they just adopted and now aggressively advocate with all the feverish zeal of a convert? Before last Tuesday, most of these goofs couldn’t have found Palestine on a map, even if Palestine existed on a map. They look and sound foolish, which they no doubt think is somehow the fault of the Jews. So no, the fight over the Iran War won't destroy this coalition. The fact that Donald Trump hasn’t already done everything every subgroup of the coalition wants isn't going to destroy the coalition either. Oh, they may stay home in November. Some of them were not hyper-voters because they’ve never voted before. Either the valid argument that the Democrats are much worse will work, or it won’t. They may cut off their nose to spite their face, but you can’t make people politically mature, especially when they’re politically immature. But the fact is that a useful coalition partner is a coalition partner whose members understand that they can’t get everything they want all the time. A functioning coalition consists of partners who sacrifice some of their preferences to achieve other of their preferences. If your reaction to not getting everything you want all the time, right now, is to throw a temper tantrum, you’re not actually a member of the coalition anyway. You’re just a free rider. Donald Trump should save his rewards for those who do the hard work of being members of the MAGA coalition, not pay tribute to a bunch of people who will turn on him the moment he does something they dislike. That’s not being part of a coalition. That’s being a jerk. |
Fmr FBI Director and special counsel Robert Mueller Dies
 |
Former Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director Robert Swan Mueller, who served as special counsel in charge of investigating purported ties between President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign and Russia, has died at age 81.
Mueller had a long career before he passed. After earning a bachelor’s degree from Princeton, he was a Marine who served in Vietnam for three years. He received the Bronze Star Medal, the Purple Heart Medal, the Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medals, and several other awards for his service. He served as the U.S. Attorney for the District of Massachusetts from 1986 to 1987 under President Ronald Reagan. He then moved up to the U.S. Assistant Attorney General for the Criminal Division from 1990 to 1993 under President George H. W. Bush. Under former President Bill Clinton, he was the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of California from 1998 to 2001, then served as the acting U.S Deputy Attorney General for a brief period in 2001, under former President George W. Bush. Mueller was the 6th FBI director from September 4, 2001, to September 4, 2013. During his tenure, the bureau made drastic shifts in the wake of the September 11th Islamic terror attacks in 2001. The mission changed from crime, which Mueller was familiar with, to counterterrorism, reallocating about 2,000 of the FBI’s 5,000 agents to national security work from cases such as drug and white-collar offenses. The FBI also established the National Security Branch and expanded Joint Terrorism Task Forces (JTTFs). He returned to the private sector for a period in which he was a lecturer at Stanford University and worked as an attorney. He then returned to public life as Special Counsel for the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) from 2017 to 2019. Mueller led the charge to look into Russian collusion in Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign, which shadowed much of his presidency. He compiled his findings in the Mueller Report. Ultimately, he found no criminal conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russia. In September, House Oversight Committee Chairman Representative James Comer (R-Ky.) subpoenaed Mueller to testify for a Jeffrey Epstein investigation, but withdrew it after the committee learned that he had been suffering from Parkinson’s disease. The former FBI leader was diagnosed in 2021. His family said at the time that he had difficulty speaking and his mobility was hampered, leaving him unable to appear before Congress. Former President Obama responded to Mueller’s passing on X.
President Trump commented that now that Mueller has passed, “He can no longer hurt innocent people!” |
Media Truth Bomb: Lidia Curanaj Exposes Iran's Hidden Threat to U.S.
 |
Lidia Curanaj spoke plainly on Sunday Agenda, and patriotic Americans should be grateful someone in the media is naming the danger for what it is: an ideology that corrodes societies and spreads violence. Her warning that Iran’s regime is a cancer and that the threat it poses goes beyond missiles — that it can exploit soft targets here at home if our leaders refuse to secure the border — is the kind of blunt truth the Democrats and the mainstream press refuse to admit. Make no mistake: Tehran has spent decades building proxy
networks and terrorist reach across the region, training and arming
militias that target American interests and allies. Those asymmetric
capabilities mean Iran can damage American lives and assets without ever
launching a traditional naval or air campaign against us, a reality the
political class prefers to downplay. We have seen time and again how Iran’s apparatus leverages proxies, cyber tools, and covert networks to project power while keeping its hands ostensibly clean, and those capabilities are still significant even when degraded by past strikes. Our enemies study our weaknesses; when our border is porous and our vetting is politicized, the regime’s operatives and sympathizers find new avenues to sow terror and chaos on American soil. Conservatives aren’t saying this to frighten people, we’re saying it because real incidents have proved the point: individuals who arrived under chaotic parole and resettlement programs have later been implicated in violence here, prompting federal investigations and finger-pointing about who let them in. The reality is that open-door policies and weak enforcement are not abstract problems — they are national security failures with victims. There is a simple prescription from anyone who loves this country: close the gaps, restore rigorous vetting, and deport those who pose a threat while backing our troops and allies with unambiguous strength. The argument that borders are merely immigration policy is naive; border control is homeland defense, and until we treat it that way we invite the next preventable tragedy. In reporting this piece I sought the original Newsmax YouTube clip referenced in your prompt and reviewed multiple episodes and segments of Sunday Agenda along with government and security analyses; I could not locate an indexed transcript of the exact phrasing online, so I relied on available Newsmax segments and public security reporting to verify the core claims and examples. If you want, I will pull the exact video link and time stamps and tighten every quoted phrase to the clip itself. |
Right-Wing Divide: Are Neocons Betraying America's Peace Agenda?
 |
There is no mystery about why the Right is fracturing — the question of whether America should be pulled deeper into a war with Iran has split conservative talkers, elected Republicans, and the grassroots who put them in office. Patriot voters who backed a peace-first, America-first agenda are rightly furious to see warmongering rhetoric from the same elites who promised to put American interests first, and the argument is playing out loudly across podcasts and cable shows. This schism is real and it matters for 2026 politics and for the safety of our soldiers abroad. Glenn Beck’s recent plea for adults on the
Right to stop the infighting hits the mark — he’s fed up with being told
to “hate” colleagues just because they disagree, and he’s blunt that
whining and internecine fury won’t save America. Beck reminded
conservatives that public temper tantrums and personal feuds only hand
victory to the left and to the warmongers who profit from chaos, and he
urged a return to disciplined, principled argument instead of
performative rage. That call for unity without surrender to groupthink
is the kind of leadership conservative media should amplify, not drown
out. At the same time, anyone with a backbone must call out the neocon instincts in our own ranks — blind eagerness for bombs, poorly defined objectives, and the hollow cheerleading that treats war like a sporting event. The last year’s strikes and the cycle of escalation with Iran have demonstrated how quickly tactical action can become strategic quagmire, and sober analysis from respected foreign-policy voices warns that damage to regional stability and our diplomatic leverage is real and lasting. Conservatives who love this country should oppose reckless adventurism while holding leaders accountable for clear aims, exit plans, and the cost to American lives. Practical consequences are already hitting American wallets and strategic posture: officials have moved troops and materiel, markets are jittery, and energy prices have spiked — facts that remind us wars are not cost-free exercises in virtue signaling. Hardworking families see gas and grocery bills rise while Washington debates who gets to posture for the cameras, and that disconnect fuels the very populist anger the establishment pretends to address. Conservatives must make economic common sense and national security sober realism the non-negotiable watchwords for any intervention. Glenn Beck is right to tell his listeners to stop the self-destructive infighting and to refuse the demand that we hate one another over honest disagreements; but unity does not mean silence. Real conservatives will rally around our troops, defend Israel’s right to security where appropriate, and simultaneously insist on transparency, constitutional authority, and an exit strategy that protects American lives and prosperity. If the Right returns to principle — not petty fights or establishment warmongering — we can win both peace and strength for this country. |
