Donald Trump's moment of truth

It's decision time on Iran's cease-fire. What started out as a 2-week cease-fire is now approaching a 2-month cease-fire. It's time for Donald Trump to decide if the IRGC dies this week or if they get yet another undeserved reprieve. Mark Levin's op-ed lays things out properly, saying "When we suddenly hit the brakes and called off the planned military operation against the Iranian regime, it was clear that something was going on. We gave the regime 2-3 days to come to some arrangement that presumably includes no nukes. What does no nukes mean? Are their scientists going to forget what they developed? How long can we keep that in a box? What happens to the enriched uranium? We are told: 1. they have enough to make 10 bombs in 11 days, and 2. that it takes a matter of weeks to further enrich uranium from 60% to 90% nuclear grade. What about the plutonium, which no one is talking about?"

The Trump administration's standard defense of their strategy has consisted of saying that a) 'we aren't in a hurry', b) the fundamentals of our economy are solid, c) we should give diplomacy a shot and d) we've got Iran on the ropes. First, the fundamentals don't include gas prices, which are way too high! Further, they've been way too high for way too long.

The prices would've dropped if President Trump hadn't gotten cold feet and agreed to a cease-fire that's lasted too long, too. This has played into the IRGC's survival plans perfectly. When President Trump made it known that he didn't have the stomach for killing the IRGC, they took that as weakness. This report from Trey Yingst from Tel Aviv, Israel is the best report I've seen recently:

President Trump, please adopt the philosophy of fighting in the shade. It's time to rid the planet of the scourge of the IRGC forever. This isn't the time to go wobbly as Lady Thatcher once famously told George H.W. Bush after Iraq invaded Kuwait in the summer of 1990.

This moment is President Trump's defining moment, the decision he'll be remembered for, his legacy. If he obliterates the IRGC, he'll be remembered as a great president. If she lets the IRGC drag this thing out, then he's just another ordinary president.

Proof that Tim Walz doesn't care about fraud or other crime

Image
Anyone that thinks that Tim Walz, Minnesota's DFL governor, doesn't care about preventing crime or fraud hasn't read this article . Alpha News is reporting that "The Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) has confirmed that Dylan Adams, the fiscal policy analyst caught on video vandalizing Teslas in Minneapolis, is still employed by the state — meaning Minnesota taxpayers are footing the bill for his salary. In response to Alpha News inquiries, a DHS spokesperson said: "Dylan Adams is a current employee." Apparently, the Walz administration doesn't care that it's employing a vandal in its Department of Human Services. As for whether Adams "has faced consequences for racking up more than $21,000 in damage during work hours , the agency offered little transparency. 'No public data exists with respect to disciplinary action,' the spokesperson said." This reminds me of the old phrase I coined, which says 'It's impossible to...

Minnesota Department of Education admits it's corrupt

I couldn't help but smile when I read the headline to this article . The title is "BREAKING: Minnesota Department of Education to strengthen hiring practices — after Alpha News reports." Thank God for well-run government agencies. Under DFL management, the Minnesota Department of Education, aka MDE, has turned inot an embarassment. Thank God Alpha News takes oversight seriously. Alpha News reports that "The Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) says it will now require criminal background checks for “all new hires” and is working to adopt tougher hiring policies—after Alpha News’ exclusive reporting on a convicted sex offender’s employment in a high-level state role." The article continues, saying "The department announced the changes in a letter to Rep. Kristin Robbins, R-Maple Grove, following widespread concern over its hiring of Wilson Tindi, a Kenyan national on the state’s predatory offender registry who was earning $145,000 a year as Director of I...
