First, from Jimmy Carter, the peanut farmer, through Barack Hussein Obama, the barely disguised Muslim, US policy has emboldened Iran to become the most prolific source of terror in the Middle East. Over the past several years Iran had gained influence in Iraq’s government to the point of virtually dictating their every move the government made. In fact, this past week Iran’s influence was behind the Iraqi government relaxing Green Zone security so that Iran-backed militia could storm the US Embassy. And Iran for months has been promising violence against both Israeli and US interests in the area.
In response to Trump’s vow to punish Iran for their invasion of our Iraqi embassy, Iran’s Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on January 1st said that US President Donald Trump was powerless to do anything to Iran. Within 24 hours of that statement, Iran’s most vaunted military leaders were pulverized by US missiles.
So now, not only are the Iranian jihadis in an uproar, US democrats are squealing like pigs just before a BBQ. In fact, they are making more noise than the rabid Muslims of the Middle East. All because President Trump did the job that both Democrats and Republicans failed to do over the past 40 years.
Will this US action cause upheaval in the Middle East? The better question is: Have the actions of Iran caused upheaval in the Middle East? Yes to both. Of course, if the US laid down and played dead, as we had before Trump, and dumped plane loads of cash in the hands of terrorists to “placate” them, as Obama had done, there might be a false impression of stability while Islamic jihadis continue their conquest throughout the Middle East and Africa.
Nancy Pelosi is having kittens: She’s upset she wasn’t notified of the pending attack – but why would we notify an enemy of the US? And the Islam-dominated United Nations is expressing concern, of course.
Yes, our stock market will react in the short term. Oil and gas prices will spike in the short term. Iran and its terrorist proxies and cells will commit a few more acts of terror. What else is new?
The most important thing: There was a clear message sent by the US that we will not tolerate Iranian BS, attacks and threats against the US and our allies.
The Democrats would rather criticize, cower, and placate. They appear to be on the side of our enemies. I believe that is called “treason.”

Absolutely right on target. And we can add the split-second news cycle in both left- and right-leaning media for jumping the gun with commentary on strategic moves before the moves have fully played out. And Pelosi along with the rest of the liberals--yes, their anti-American actions are treasonous. And they'll never get hung for it. A shame.
Excellent commentary Jerry!
Trump gets it right most of the time. In my view, he will probably go down as one of the best Presidents of our life time (even though so hated by the 'do nothing' left). You can't bet against Trump; when he says something questionable or seemingly stupid, it usually ends up being true. It is nice to be a country that carries a big stick to be used when unjustly provoked. I also appreciate that Trump is not ruled by the thoughts or desires of the Neocons, he wants to stay disengaged from these Mideast no-win situations.
Keep up your good work and Happy New Year!
