What God has done in the past is a model and a promise of what He will do in the future, but He's too creative to do the same thing the same way twice. #allmanisms

@thevivafrei @joekent16jan19 Yeah @Timcast

Weren’t people viciously attacking @joekent16jan19 for warning about this yesterday?

What I need you to do is take this very seriously. The numbers often cited are wrong - we've actually had about 10% of the world's daily oil supply off the market, and that's going to be a big deal. Check the video for my math. Full report: peakprosperity.pulse.ly/u7q39rym53

@thevivafrei Cancel culture to some extent is a function of people trying to defend an unwinable argument and finally resorting to ad hominem or maybe cancel hominem :)

Mark Levin proving that he is more leftist than the most rabid lefty pushers of cancer culture. Don’t like what someone says? Get them fired. At what point do people step back and realize that they have become the monster?

President Trump likely doesn't know (and maybe doesn't care) that he just admitted in a TruthSocial post that he lied to the American ppl and world about why he chose to start this war w Iran on 28 February. We should not let this go. In this post, he boasts that *none* of the reprocessed nuclear material allegedly buried in the June 2025 attack, has been moved since Operation Midnight Hammer. It has been under "exacting Satellite Surveillance" he boasted, so its definitely still there. He even went so far as to say we'll help them "dig up and remove" said material. One big problem with that boast: He and his chosen "negotiator" Steve Witkoff sounded the alarm from every TV and Cable outlet in America that Iran was "about a week" away from a nuclear bomb, and therefore posed "an imminent threat." That was a known lie. We, therefore, didn't merely violate the U.S. Constitution by going to full-on war without Congressional declaration or authorization, didn't just violate American law, didn't even primarily violate international law: The President of the United States knowingly took America to war - sacrificing the lives of at least 13 Americans and the wounding of nearly 400 others - based on pure fraud and a desire to seize the oil from another country. To add insult to injury, he also got us into a war we couldn't win. At the moment we have a ceasefire, but an end-of-war negotiated settlement is far from done; this could turn back hot again at any moment. This is an affront to the American ppl and shows with what contempt the President has for the lives of our Service Members. That's the truth, folks, from the President's own postings, you have it black and white.

I’ll give my full thoughts on today’s show at 1pm ET, but for now I’ll just say this: Thank God Trump didn’t go through with it!

This last month has made one thing clear: President Trump has lost the moral right to remain in office. In his wonderful book, Sum of all Fears, Clancy writes that President Fowler resigns the presidency when he orders a nuclear attack on Tehran, only to be stopped by the hero Jack Ryan. Fowler recognizes he has lost the moral right to be President. Trump's tweets, especially over the last few days, reveal a childish adult, one who should not remain President. He has lost the moral authority and with it any possible respect of the world. Now, world leaders must view Trump as a toddler with nukes rather than a rational, ethical leader seeking the good. Trump should resign. I know he won't. But going forward, we must recognize that Trump's insane behavior has destroyed his presidency. @chrismartenson @ggreenwald @ComicDaveSmith

After failing on a covert regime change operation, US started a conventional war intended to be short, got its head handed to it at great financial expense and tremendous damage to relationships with allies around the world. The result is to significantly increase the status of China, Iran and Russia in superpower geopolitics. This is one of the most spectacular failures of US leadership in the history of the country. DOD, after decades of disappearing $21 trillion +, was busy during Trump I poisoning the American people and its soldiers and during Biden in integrating DEI while its enemies were focused on building the electronic tech and weaponry to defeat the US. The fallout of this failure has just begun.

@thevivafrei Well said

A lot of people don’t seem to appreciate what really just happened: Trump made a threat he could never follow through on without it being a war crime. On the eve of the deadline, he wisely declares a ceasefire - on the basis of having “already met and exceeded all Military objectives” - which to the extent it’s true, was *already* true when he made the threat he could never act upon without it being a war crime. This outcome would have been achieved (or *was already* achieved) when Trump made that Truth post threatening something he could never implement without it being a war crime. It is not a case of “madman theory”. This is not a cease-fire *because* of that post. It was the only way to finesse that blunder of a post into the veneer of a win, by relying on things that if true, were already true at the time he made the post. That is my humble two cents. Eagerly awaiting the vitriol and abuse in the replies 😂

@RT_com @chrismartenson @Timcast This was the point you missed last night, Tim.

'This momentary relief cannot make us forget the chaos, the destruction, and the lives lost' — Spain's PM Pedro Sanchez on Iran-US ceasefire 'The Government of Spain will not applaud those who set the world on fire just because they show up with a bucket'

Trump backed down. No credit to Congress, which barely made a whimper. Credit to the American people—progressive activists & anti-war conservative voices like @TuckerCarlson, @mtgreenee, and many more. We need an anti-Epstein class, anti-war, pro-working class coalition.

The key question now isn’t who “won.” It’s whether a new rule has been set: That stability in global energy flows depends on accommodating Iran. If that holds—even partially—the system has already shifted.

@ggreenwald Just wait when people discover that the consequences of all the devastation cannot be fixed as easily.

The Big Victory that Trump points to here is that Iran will open the Strait of Hormuz. The Strait of Hormuz was completely open before Israel and the US attacked. It was closed only as a response to the war. So congrats on getting the Strait of Hormuz re-opened. Huge victory.

@Timcast No Tim, the response is twofold: 1. Let's NOT do this again and therefore 2. Let's understand how we made the mistake in the first place and address the root cause. That's what the fuss is about. @joekent16jan19

is the response to Trump backing off just to antagonize everyone??

Exactly. The United States, the "moral leader" in the world, the sane Western country, contra those "crazy Middle Easterners" had to be begged into sanity by Pakistan and under review by Iran. To put it differently, Trump has shamed the country. Sadly, he had to b/c of his idiotic choice to attack b/c of Israel.

@Timcast Yeah, we didn't want him to do Israel's bidding in the first place. Now that he's brought the US to this dishonorable spot, our leverage is gone. Iran won. Let's check back in 6 months with each other once the effect of all this on US influence and the dollar is obvious.

I dont get it All of a sudden Trump critics are saying hes a chicken for NOT blowing up Iran?? I thought we WANTED him not to strike Iran

@Timcast We don't, Tim. We also acknowledge that Trump's insanity has massively hurt the US standing in the world.

The President's threat against Iran is genocidal, even by the strictest definition. It may be bluster, but that does not change our obligation. To work, a threat must be credible, and we must act accordingly. We attacked Iran. Any order to escalate our attack with nuclear weapons would clearly be immoral, and must therefore be rejected by every person in the chain of command. Anyone who carried such an order forward would become immediately complicit. That is the lesson of history, and those who fail it will be judged harshly by it--and by God. We can't have a Commander in Chief who threatens civilians, idly or in earnest. The President must be removed from office, for the good of the Republic, and the world.

The 25th amendment needs to be invoked. He is a genocidal lunatic. Our Congress and military need to intervene. We are beyond madness.

@chrismartenson This is disqualifying from the Presidency

This is completely unacceptable. Trump is using a deranged religious orientation to justify mass murder. All good and decent people reject this outright. TRUMP: "A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again."

@FmrRepMTG The only 'god' in this post is the one who seeks to steal, kill, and destroy... the 'god of this world'... Satan. You are living in the spirit of the evil one, @realDonaldTrump @WhiteHouse

25TH AMENDMENT!!! Not a single bomb has dropped on America. We cannot kill an entire civilization. This is evil and madness.
