@DMichaelTripi Let’s get em boys 🇺🇸

NEW: Benjamin Netanyahu says airstrikes alone are not enough to create regime change in Iran and that a "ground component" will now be necessary.

Listen up, because this ain't complicated. Iran's mullahs have been screaming "Death to America" for decades while racing toward a nuclear bomb. They don't want it for "energy." They want it so they can nuke a city, wipe Israel off the map, blackmail the Gulf states, and hold the entire world hostage while they fund jihadist proxies everywhere. Once that regime has deliverable nukes, deterrence flips: we can't hit them hard without risking a mushroom cloud over Tel Aviv, Riyadh, or right here at home if they hand off a device to their Hezbollah or Hamas fanboys. You let fanatics who celebrate martyrdom get the ultimate weapon and the planet becomes their playground. There is no "containing" a theocracy that believes the end times are accelerated by mass murder and that America is the Great Satan. This isn't about "forever wars" or oil or Israel lobbies. It's about the most basic math: a nuclear-armed apocalyptic death cult is an unacceptable risk to every man, woman, and child breathing free air. Period. If we have to smash their program—air, sea, special ops, whatever it takes—before they cross that red line, then that's what has to happen. Better to be called warmongers today than radioactive ash tomorrow. No apologies. No hand-wringing. Eliminate the threat or watch the jihadists get their doomsday button. That's the choice.

The risk of Trump doing this just because he thinks it would be cool to watch from the situation room is way too high for comfort and you know I’m right about that

NEW: 🇮🇱Netanyahu: “Jesus Christ has no advantage over Genghis Khan. Because if you are strong enough, ruthless enough, powerful enough, evil will overcome good.”

If you stare suffering in the face with complete humility for long enough you’ll enter the kingdom of heaven

I’ve never tested it because I can’t reach jhana unless I’m on retreat, but I imagine being in jhana wouldn’t register as deep sleep the way my Whoop does when I normally meditate. Pure concentration isn’t the same as getting out of the way and letting reality be. Concentration is more heavenly, but through wisdom you see heaven is worth letting go of.

This is a bizarre, bewildering thing to say.

@WeTheBrandon The regime must fall trump understands that

There is no doubt in my mind that Trump is readying to deploy Marines. We are going to have a ground incursion in as soon as two weeks.

He’s denying the divinity of Christ while simultaneously demanding everyone double down on his war with Iran. The arrogance of this man.

He is summarizing an argument/quote made by Will Durant in “The Lessons of History” about the brutality of life on earth and the need to confront evil. Agree with that sentiment or not, he’s not making the claim being quoted. C’mon, folks.

🇮🇱🇺🇸🇮🇷 “It is not enough to be moral. It is not enough to be just. Jesus Christ has no advantage over Genghis Khan. If you are strong enough, ruthless enough, and powerful enough, evil will overcome good.” The mask is off. This is the operating system of the Third Temple cult project and now you understand why American Zionist Christians (theological oxymoron) funding it are committing the greatest theological betrayal in history, if they want to claim to be Christians. The Third Temple that Christian Zionists are sending money and casting votes to build? Christ already built it. And hint for Ted Cruz: it’s not made of stone or bricks and mortar. John 2:19 Jesus says “destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up.” John clarifies explicitly: he was speaking of his body. The resurrection is the Third Temple. The veil tore from top to bottom at the crucifixion not symbolically, as a theological declaration that the entire system was finished and fulfilled. The Letter to the Hebrews spends thirteen chapters making one argument: every element of Temple worship... the priesthood, the sacrifice, the Holy of Holies, the ark — was a shadow pointing forward to Christ. Paul tells the Corinthians twice: you are the temple of the Holy Spirit. Not a building. Not a geography. You. Peter calls believers living stones built into a spiritual house. So when American Christian Zionists cheer on wars to rebuild a physical temple, they are funding the theological rejection of their own Saviour. A rebuilt temple doesn’t prepare for Christ’s return. It denies his first coming. It says the sacrifice wasn’t enough. The resurrection didn’t count. Zionist Christianity isn’t a fusion of two faiths. It’s the abandonment of one in slavery to another. And it’s currently armed, funded, and flying messianic combat missions. Netanyahu just told you what he thinks of your Jesus. Believe him.

@prem_thakker @KyleKulinski Polls don’t mean anything

This is a disaster of historic proportions. New poll shows that US voters believe Trump and Vance's war on Iran benefits Israel more than the US at a margin of *27 points.* And the poll was conducted nearly two weeks ago. Imagine what the numbers are now?

Judeo-Christian they said

Absolute psychopath. An American reporter asks Netanyahu about US soldiers dying for his war, and he literally brushes it off saying "freedom has its costs." He is sacrificing American lives without a single second of hesitation.

Netanyahu should have known his words would be taken out of context, but he was quoting the historians Will and Ariel Durant, "The Lessons of History." He's saying the laws of history don't automatically favor the good.

@MOSSADil Jeffrey Sachs is crying right now

🚨 BREAKING: 6 U.S. allies have pledged to help secure the Strait of Hormuz shipping lanes: 🇯🇵 Japan 🇬🇧 Britain 🇫🇷 France 🇩🇪 Germany 🇮🇹 Italy 🇳🇱 Netherlands The regime is losing, militarily and diplomatically.

Closest real parallel that comes to mind is the Catholic Church clergy abuse scandals (2002–present wave). - Thousands of documented victims across decades - Internal church files, diocesan lists of accused priests (some with hundreds of pages of complaints) - Payments totaling billions in settlements - Names of high-ranking bishops/cardinals who moved predators around or covered up Yet prosecutions? Mostly just a handful of low/mid-level priests actually did serious time. Almost no bishops or higher-ups ever faced criminal charges in the US—even when grand juries (like Pennsylvania 2018) named dozens who knowingly protected abusers and shredded evidence. If this was a street gang or cartel running the same protection racket with that much paper trail, we'd have RICO cases, wiretaps, and mass indictments. But when it's powerful institutions + elites protecting their own? Suddenly the evidence threshold becomes sky-high and 'lack of prosecutable proof' becomes the official line. Same pattern, different uniforms.

Can't believe I'm retweeting Nancy Mace. But she has a point…
