When “science” becomes canonized as sacred & hallowed, questioning becomes heresy and damned. However, science is questioning. That is what propels and underpins all of scientific discovery and thought. The alternative is a dark age of political posturing.

@edithlegrand @steve_hanke Is that why Christian fled Lebanon? Is that the reason The Lebanese government has recently been expelling Hezbola operatives? Israel would not be going in there if they were not blasting ordinance across the border into Israel. You are misinformed, sadly.

@DougTweet1 @steve_hanke No, Hezbollah has been defending the local people, Israel always has been the aggressor, the terrorists

SINCE 1981, ISRAEL HAS INVADED LEBANON 6 TIMES. TODAY, ISRAEL CONTINUES ITS REIGN OF TERROR. Since March 2nd, the Lebanon’s Health Ministry reports that at least 1,094 Lebanese have been killed by Israeli airstrikes.

Iran can quit at any time. The IRGC can quit driving up and down the public streets in armor to scare the population. The clerics can call it a day and move back into their mosques. But they won’t. They expect the hate-the-west press and the democrat party to save them. They’re dealing with mad as hatter Israelis and an American president who plans to take the uranium and free Iran. You have no moves Iran.

The U.S. and Israel are achieving in just a matter of weeks what it took Allies a couple years to do with their strategic bombing campaign against the Nazis in WW2. I'm also confident that the customers of the NY Times, Washington Post, CNN, etc. will not learn of this and other military achievements because it doesn't fit their narrative that we're losing our ineffective military operation against the Islamic regime of Iran. The media is actively misleading the American public. The media also bemoans the massive loss of trust in them as an essential institution in our society. They should take a long look in the mirror when they talk about the causes of the loss of this trust.

Sean Hannity slams the rise in antisemitism. “If a country did to America would Gaza did to Israel on October 7th, I’d call to obliterate them, and we would.”

Full list of high profile Iranian figures confirmed killed over the past 24 hours: - Brigadier General Abbas Karami, a commander in the Khatam al-Anbiya Emergency Headquarters, was killed in Tehran. - Mohammad Reza Kiya was a specialist involved in Iran's nuclear program. He was killed along with his wife in the village of Dashtak, Kiashahr District, Gilan Province. - Saeed Zanganeh, a Basij field commander, was killed in Ahvaz. - Lieutenant Colonel Hassan Ali Khodseyyani, an IRGC air defense operator, was killed alongside several family members in a strike on his house in the Haftun neighborhood of Isfahan. - Ali Fooladvand, Head of Research at the Organization of Defensive Innovation and Research (SPND), a research institute subordinate to the Ministry of Defense that oversees the military dimension of their nuclear program. He was killed in Borujerd along with his wife. He survived an Israeli assassination attempt during the 12-day war, wherein his wife, Masoumeh Barhadi, was killed. He was sanction by the US Treasury Department in October 2025.

What adversarial narratives aim to do, exploiting US domestic political interests, is paint Operation Epic Fury as 1) illegal, 2) Israel driven, and 3) strategically flawed and doomed to fail. It collapses on all counts for any serious observer. The March 1 Pentagon briefing assessed US presence in the region would be targeted even if the US did not participate in a strike against Iranian assets. That means unlike the Israeli Operation Rising Lion of last June’s 12 Day war, the Iranians would attack the US across the region if the Israelis acted. That left Washington at the end of a barrel to decide whether to a) withdraw from Centcom, b) kneecap Israel from any self-defensive action against Iran’s growing missile and drone threat, or c) capitulate to Iranian demands at the negotiation table. Those aren’t ‘choices’ in any orthodox ‘war of choice’ sense. It’s coercion, plain as day. And it crossed the threshold of imminence under both the President’s Art II force protection authorities and anticipatory self-defense under the UN’s Art 51 rights of states. Customary intl law evolves with state practice and opinio juris, the general practice of states and their legal opinions about their rights and obligations. US doctrine has long rejected any stopwatch test for the 1837 Caroline Doctrine’s necessity thresholds for imminence. ”No choice of means, and no moment for deliberation” are assessed against a closing window for feasibly obstructing an attack. Allowing the Iranians to mass thousands of missiles and drones and harden strategic sites would have closed that window as the Iranians become immune to feasible conventional actions. This would have left US presence in the region vulnerable to heavy losses and thereby triggered Potus’s force protection obligations and rights under the constitution’s Art II. It also meets the intl legal standard for both anticipatory self-defense and collective defense against threats to peace and security. The fact that the Iranians expanded their attacks to civilian targets and across twelve uninvolved nations, including the GCC, Azerbaijan, Turkey and Cyprus, only underlines the seriousness of the threat posed by the Iranians when Epic Fury was launched. The fact that they just launched intermediate range ballistic missiles with 4,000 kilometer targets places most of Europe under that threat -- but even before this clarifying event, Iranian proxy terror cells already unleashed a wave of attacks across Europe. Put simply, once US intelligence assessed that Iran would hit US forces, sites and personnel in the region, even if Israel acted alone, the President had a constitutional responsibility to protect American personnel, forces, and vital interests -- not retreat, restrain an ally, wait for a surprise attack, or capitulate in negotiations under coercion. As to the third narrative, it’s a matter of achieving the objectives the US has set out to achieve. Three weeks into Epic Fury the trajectory is certainly showing significant, measurable results in terms of rapidly diminishing Iranian capability to project meaningful power outside its borders. But it’s early on in the operation. Securing Hormuz appears to be the center of gravity. Let’s see. As far as ‘massive reality checks’ go, it’s that Turkey is a tenuous ally at best and that Democrats are perhaps (to be kind) lovely, well-meaning, sophisticated diplomats, but have a very poor track record of assessing and confronting real-world threats. It is important for the public to remain acutely aware that morale and political will are the capital of victory in conflict. Depleting this treasure chest is therefore the enemy’s objective; US media and former officials should be cautious not to assist adversaries amid high-stakes, high-intensity operations with American lives and vital national interests on the line.

Why indeed.

This meme really triggers the Libtards.

The word Israel appears 2,319 times in the Bible. The Jewish people maintained continuous cultural, religious, and linguistic connection to the land for 3,000+ years even through diaspora. God’s covenant with Abraham in Genesis 15 was a unilateral covenant where God alone passed between the pieces. Abraham was asleep. That means Israel’s faithfulness or lack thereof cannot void the promise. It’s God’s obligation, not a contract. Ezekiel 37 describes dry bones coming back to life as a nation explicitly in stages, first physical, then spiritual. 1948 is the physical stage and spiritual revival is ongoing. Isaiah 11:11 specifically says God will recover the remnant a second time implying a second diaspora and a second return. Genesis 15:18 describes borders from the Nile to the Euphrates the same geography Israel has geopolitically contested for decades. God said He would bring them back before they deserved it in Ezekiel 36:22-24 which explicitly says the regathering is for God’s name’s sake, not Israel’s righteousness. That preemptively answers the “but they’re secular” objection. You don’t have to like Israel and you don’t have to read the Bible, but if you’re going to comment on things then maybe you should actually know what you’re talking about first. Otherwise stick to comedy.

🚨PULITZER PRIZE WINNING CARTOONIST WHO PORTRAYED PRESIDENT TRUMP AS A SEXUAL PREDATOR AND PEDOPHILE IN HIS VICIOUS ANTI TRUMP CARTOONS IS NOW ARRESTED FOR POSSESSING OVER 134 VIDEOS OF CHILD SEX ABUSE MATERIAL 🔻 This is Darrin Bell the Sacramento based artist who built his entire career drawing disgusting cartoons that smeared Donald Trump as some kind of sexual deviant while collecting his awards and pretending to speak for the disenfranchised. He won the Pulitzer for his so-called daring work attacking the Trump administration and he loved projecting every sick accusation imaginable onto the president. Now the mask is off. Sacramento County sheriffs arrested this 49 year old hypocrite after linking him to 134 videos of child sex abuse material plus computer generated child pornography making him the first person charged under Californias new law against AI created CSAM. The same man who spent years lecturing everyone about morality got caught with the real thing on his devices. The lefts favorite attack dog is finally exposed for exactly what he is. How long will the media ignore this while they rush to defend every other fake artist like him?

Millions Gather To Express Total Ignorance About Political System buff.ly/dktuSLN

The Bible drops over 700 Old Testament prophecies about one tiny nation: Israel. Land. Regathering. Jerusalem. Messiah ruling from Zion. All of it. Then Jesus, Paul, and Revelation add another dozen crystal-clear ones about the same people and place. Out of every nation on earth, God picked one to put His entire end-times plan on repeat for 2,000 years. Not Rome. Not America. Not Mecca. Israel. Still think it’s just “politics”? The Bible says it’s prophecy on steroids. 🇮🇱📖 #StillGodsLand

🎯 The mind rot is so sad. Happily, Saad exposes it.

@FightofFaith 👍

13 years ago Jesus woke me up out of spiritual despair. I had lost sight of living for God. Replaced it with living for self. Today my life is on fire for Christ. I’m never going back.

Again, why does this matter so much to you what the church leadership interpreted through history if your entire argument is not based on it? You are indeed relying on them, not the Bible itself. The scripture is clear that some end time matters are sealed up until things unfold in the end times as per Daniel 12. We dont know all the details. We have skeletal facts however. If Daniel 12 is correct ( and it is) what we would expect to see is people understanding Bible prophecy in the end times quite differently than they might in the early centuries. The Apostles for example thought the restoration of literal Israel was imminent and they asked Jesus directly in Acts 1 when it would happen. He told them the times and dates would not be disclosed. You are making an appeal to sources with even lesser authority than the Apostles with limited knowledge and writing after the invasion of 70 AD by Titus destroyed the temple and exiled the jews. Of course they would view things in light of that current reality they saw. Today, we see a gathered Israel into the land but not restored spiritually. Of course we view things differently today. The prophecy becomes unsealed in the end times as it should and exactly as Daniel said it would. This is entirely consistent with both church history interpretation and the Bible. The Bible is the authority, not what church leadership said or did not say down through history.

@grok @DougTweet1 @ThomasEWoods @LarryTaunton Again, you're gonna confuse this dude. Those guys had beliefs that were incompatible with Christian Zionism.

In 2 Thessalonians the Apostle Paul says God sends “a strong delusion” on some to believe what is false. Tucker Carlson is there.

I’ll spell it out explicitly one last time. Everyone thinks Trump wants balanced trade. He does not. He wants to force allies to stop trading with China. Completely. Zero inbound supply. Because it’s not just because of American jobs. It’s a proactive move to slow down Chinas industrial rise. Everything is downstream of this. Reserve currency status. The ability to address fiscal debt. It’s a crazy risk because China has a vote. It’s a crazy risk because you are forcing Europe to commit seppeku because they have very little leverage or say in the matter. It’s a crazy risk because Xi might bomb the fabs in Taiwan and the world doesn’t get AGI. It’s a crazy risk because China knows how financialized we are and will dump bonds and equities to drive anger towards trump. But it also has benefits if it works. If your allies can’t trade with China there is no near peer competitor to worry about. That has a ton of benefits. Just look at what happened after WW2/USSR collapse when American was the last man standing. Hegemony. Trumps advisors like Miran believe that you can coerce your allies to pay for your security umbrella in the form of buying longer dated treasuries. This removes the overhangs of the debt load while allowing you to pump markets in time for midterms. If Mexico can’t import from China then you solved the fentanyl crisis because they won’t have precursors. More importantly by establishing a tolerance for risk the level of fear you can instill in cartels is an order of magnitude higher. “Shit if they risked WW3 they won’t think twice about droning Sinaloa. “ This same “logic” applies to the Middle East. Now I will repeat for the 100x that this is not advocacy. I’m only telling you guys what the people in power believe. And I’m telling you that what happens next if I’m right will come down to how Xi wants to fight. He can go gloves off or glove on. There are real constraints as I have outlined in prior tweets. But there is a plan and therefore the tolerance for market pain is way way higher than you think. Because first you need Europe to be willing to commit economic seppuku. And they won’t want to (rightly). So Trump will crush them economically until they cry uncle. And then they still won’t want to and he’s going to threaten to defang NATO. And then they still won’t want to and he will withdraw swap lines. Or a lot more likely, he will do it all very forcefully and all at once to maximize leverage. Now you’ll rightly ask… why wasn’t this messaged better? Why have midwits like Lutnik on the team? Because you are attempting to execute a reckless gambit where the big variables are not what the tariffs rates are. Or if you tariff penguins. Or if the person sounds dumb on TV. Non of that matters. What matters is - will Japan capitulate quickly and agree to buy a large amount of treasuries? Will Saudi capitulate quickly with your B2 bombers waiting in Diego Garcia to bomb Iran? Will China invade Taiwan? Many of you think everyone around Trump is retarded. I get it. You hate the guy and everything he stands for. But I will say this until I’m blue in the face. Bessant, and even Miran, have higher IQs than most if not all of you. They thought through the second order effects. Believe me. If I, a dumb TMT L/S bro thought this far ahead, they certainly did too. Which means they warned Trump how risky this was and how deeply irrational it is if you planned to eventually cut a deal with China. Therefore you have to assume Trump heard the risks and said “fuck it we ball” anyways. Economic Blitzkrieg. That’s what we’re seeing. And it’s only the start.

@JasonD_70 @ThomasEWoods @LarryTaunton What ever. 😂

@DougTweet1 @ThomasEWoods @LarryTaunton Idiot, Wrong, I said pre-19th century, that's pre 1800. And it was that no human ever believed it before then. I've changed the year to 1621 based on learned information. You're incapable of understanding the argument if you think that's an appeal to church authority.
