Iran is the real test of seriousness. Parking a carrier group off the coast isn’t symbolism—it’s a loaded sentence waiting for a verb. Trump understands what Obama refused to: ambiguity without consequence invites bloodshed, not reform. The mullahs survive on bluff, proxies, and Western hesitation. A cosmetic strike would be worse than nothing; it would validate their model. Either break the regime’s coercive spine or stay out entirely. Meanwhile, Americans should notice the contrast: Iranians are risking death to topple real tyrants, while our domestic radicals cosplay resistance against lawful enforcement. Midnight isn’t about war—it’s about whether resolve finally replaces performance.

Yes. Totally agree. Go big or go home here. Anything else is a gesture. Have a feeling we may be in for a dramatic week. At the end of the day, America remains the only nation with the capability and the stones.

Truth is, this opportunity may not come again…. And the administration knows it. Something’s coming

With regards to the ICE riots, why can’t someone get a Writ of Mandamus against the Minneapolis PD, Chief O’Hare or Mayor Frey. I don’t have to tell you what that could accomplish.

Yes, esp as the Eighth Circuit is likely amenable. Blanche would know this. Maybe it’s one of the reasons Bondi went to Minneapolis
