Imminent

 

When patience is not a virtue.

Iran was taken over by a radical faction of Shiite Islam in 1979. Since then it has been ruled by a theocracy, led by an ayatollah, appointed as “Supreme Leader” that rules the government, military, and upholds Sharia law over the populace. In the ensuing years, Iran willfully funded terrorism to achieve the goal of eventually eradicating the west, in particular, Israel and the United States. Acts of terrorism, such as the bombing of the US Marine barracks in Beirut, Lebanon that killed 241 US soldiers and 58 French soldiers in 1983, the World Trade Center in 1993 that killed 6 and injured over 1000, and the October 7^th, 2023, Iran sponsored Hamas killed over 1200 civilians in an unprovoked attack in southern Israel. These are but a few of the examples of Iran’s radical Islamic government fomenting chaos and murdering innocents throughout the world. Their political leaders call for death to Israel and death to America while funding proxies to accomplish just that.

That same radical Islamic government yearns to build a nuclear bomb to hasten the coming of their “13^th Imam.” Iran is currently governed by Islamist zealots that have no respect for the rule of law, the lives of their own people, and will use whatever means necessary to accomplish their goals. On June 22^nd, 2025, the US bombed nuclear facilities in Iran. This has not deterred the Iranian regime from seeking to rebuild their nuclear ambitions. On February 28^th, 2026, after weeks of futile negotiations, the US and Israeli armed forces combined in Operation Epic Fury, to eliminate the Iranian regimes armed forces and degrade their capacity to threaten the region and the world. Once the theocracy that has enslaved the Iranian people and posed a threat to world peace is eliminated, the world will be a safer place.

Of course, democrats disagree, vehemently. “The threat of a nuclear attack by Iran was not imminent,” they claim. Perhaps we should have waited until the missiles were flying to be able to defend ourselves. Pre-emptive strikes against a nation that threatens another nation is well within the rights of the defending nation. International law is clear on this. Iran clearly stated during negotiations that they were on the cusp of refining enough nuclear fissile material to make 10-15 nuclear warheads and had no intention of abandoning their nuclear ambitions. With all due respect to Senator Rand Paul, if someone threatens to kick my ass and possesses the ability to do so, I’m going to strike first and attempt to end the threat. That is exactly what the US and Israel are accomplishing and if it takes eliminating every ayatollah that is named “Supreme Leader,” so be it. The world will be a better place for it.

A nation divided cannot stand and democrats are doing their best to divide this nation. Political parties can disagree on policy but must act in the best interests of the nation they are charged to represent. By continuously disparaging the opposition party, even with issues that need not be contentious, is detrimental to the nation. We can always agree to disagree, but those disagreements should never morph into the demonization of the opposition.

” Our right to disagree is precious but fragile. The best way to protect and preserve it is to let the other side speak without demonizing them or destroying their right to be heard. Such civil exchanges are the heartbeat of democracy - essential to keeping it alive.” Madeline M. Kunin a democrat, former Governor of Vermont.

If we fail to return to respecting each other as a society, society is destined to fail. If we fail to responsibly govern this nation, with respectful debate and agreement on common principles, this nation will fail. If we continue our present trajectory, this nation will spiral into a decline from which it may never recover. If we cannot agree that the number one responsibility of government is to protect its citizens, then we are already adrift. We must remain unified as a nation, especially during times of armed conflict. The fall of this nation will be imminent if democrats continue this course. Until reason returns, the only alternative is to keep these leftists as far from power as possible. The mid-terms are a wake-up call for normalcy. The solution to this idiocy can be found at the ballot box. Vote for those who uphold your values and keep leftist democrats out of office. If losses in elections fail to moderate their behavior, then they will fade away into ignominy.

President Franklin D. Roosevelt said in his annual message to Congress on January 6^th, 1941, prior to the US entering WWII, but after Nazi Germany was in the midst of their conquest of Europe; “The point in history at which we stand is full of promise and danger. The world will either move forward toward unity and widely shared prosperity - or it will move apart.”

The United States is at a crossroads; Either we unite or we fall apart. If democrats gain power, it will be the latter. It is your choice.

“Find people who share your values, and you'll conquer the world together.” John Ratzenberger, actor.
