the phantom

For Civil War buffs: OTD in 1883, Alexander Hamilton Stephens, the only Vice President of the Confederate States of America, passed away in Atlanta. In 1873, he was elected to the U.S. House of Rep. He continued in the House until his resignation on November 4, 1882, brought about by his election as Georgia governor. It was a markedly brief tenure as he died in office. As for CoD-I don't know. He was sickly and frail for much of his life, though.

There are many false claims in this letter but let me address one specifically: that "Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation."   This is the same false claim that Democrats and some in the liberal media have been repeating over and over.   As President Trump has clearly and explicitly stated, he had strong and compelling evidence that Iran was going to attack the United States first.   This evidence was compiled from many sources and factors. President Trump would never make the decision to deploy military assets against a foreign adversary in a vacuum.   Iran is the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism. The Iranian regime is evil. It proudly killed Americans, waged war against our country, and openly threatened us all the way up to the launch of Operation Epic Fury.   Iran was aggressively expanding their short-range ballistic missiles to combine with their naval assets to give themselves immunity – meaning they would have a degree of a capabilities that would give them immunity to hold us and the rest of the world hostage.   The regime aimed to use those ballistic missiles as a shield to continue achieving their ultimate goal – nuclear weapons.   The President, through his top negotiators, gave the regime every single possible opportunity to abandon this unacceptable course by permanently giving up their nuclear ambitions in exchange for sanctions relief, free nuclear fuel, and potential economic partnerships with our country.   But they would not say yes to peace because obtaining nuclear weapons was their fundamental goal.   President Trump ultimately made the determination that a joint attack with Israel would greatly reduce the risk to American lives that would come from a first strike by the terrorist Iranian regime and address this imminent threat to America’s national security interests.   All of this led to President Trump arriving at the determination that this military operation was necessary for U.S. national security, which is why he launched the massively successful Operation Epic Fury. The Commander-in-Chief determines what does and does not constitute a threat, because he is the one constitutionally empowered to do so - and because the American people went to the ballot box and entrusted him and him alone to make such final judgments. And finally, the absurd allegation that President Trump made this decision based on the influence of others, even foreign countries, is both insulting and laughable. President Trump has been remarkably consistent and has said for DECADES that Iran can NEVER possess a nuclear weapon. As someone who actually witnesses President Trump’s decision-making process on a daily basis, I can attest to the fact that he is always looking to do what’s in the best interest of the United States of America — period. America First.

And the smear campaign starts...

dawg what

It is 100% true that great men and women of the past were not sitting around moaning about their feelings. I regret nothing.

Screw him for making Danganronpa seem like some weird predator game

Top ten games ever. 1. Goldeneye 2. Contra 3. OG Mario Brothers 4. Halo 5. Mario Cart 6. Mortal Combat 7. Double Dragon 8. Doom (not a game system, but still) 9. Zelda 10. Sonic

DOGE was a thing for like 6 months, and already the people involved are being dragged into tribunals – even while the GOP holds all branches of government. Dems will start killing people by firing squad in 2029 if our failure of a GOP doesn’t get serious.
