Trump Declares Ceasefire in Iran

During Tuesday’s liberal freakout, Democrats were denouncing President Trump as a genocidal maniac because of his threats to destroy Iran. Then, about an hour before the 8 p.m. deadline he’d given the Iranian regime, Trump announced that a deal had been reached for a ceasefire: President Donald Trump and the Islamic Republic of Iran both […]

It Would Be Wrong to Say Democrats Are Going Completely Crazy Today …

. . . because obviously they’ve been crazy for many years. Trump said that tonight at 8 p.m. Eastern is some kind of deadline for Iran, and this morning he turned the volume all the way to 11: “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to […]

Thinking About Mogadishu

Last night, I was inspired to watch Black Hawk Down again, although I’ve seen it many times before, including during its original 2001 release. Perhaps you’ve forgotten this from 2022: Staff Sgt. Robert McCain wanted to be in the Army for as long as his mother can remember. But McCain remembers exactly when he knew […]

Guess What Time It Is, ‘Iranian Leaders’?

Do me a favor: Somebody translate this into Farsi, and bring it to the attention of the surviving “leadership” in Tehran, because they obviously don’t know what time it is — it’s time to quit, fellows: The U.S. military is preparing to deploy at least 1,000 troops from the 82nd Airborne Division to the Middle […]

‘Major Combat Operations’ in Iran UPDATE: Is the Ayatollah Dead, or Not? UPDATE: He’s ‘Pining for the Fjords’

UPDATE 5:10 p.m. ET: The Associated Press: Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed in a major attack on Iran launched by Israel and the United States, Israeli officials told The Associated Press on Saturday.

The Worst News Network on the Planet Has Covered Itself in Shame This Week

For the past couple of days, I’ve been watching CNN (so you don’t have to) and — dear merciful God! — there are no words to describe how awful it is. On the other hand, the attempt to describe it gave me an excuse to beat that dead dog again with a 1,300-word opus: Among […]
