President Trump’s Midnight Hammer was a success. It struck the Iranian nuclear facilities of Isfahan, Natanz, and Fordow. The 37-hour mission, the longest bombing run for the B-2 fleet since the 2001 Afghanistan war, was carried out with elite precision; no other country could pull this off. The full might of the American military was on display. It should be a congratulatory run; most Republicans and patriots salute our president and the troops. It’s the liberals and some annoying libertarian-ish losers who are at a loss for what happened.
I won’t dwell too much on those on our side—it’s really a few people. The left, however, is beside itself. For starters, like those Iranian nuclear facilities, more anti-Trump narratives were cooked. Trump didn’t back down from his position that Iran would not get nukes. He sent the B-2s to handle it. The Pentagon under Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth is not a circus—the entire operation has drawn some lauded commentaries about the level of secrecy. White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles runs a tight ship. If this were a White House in chaos—a tired and hyperbolic liberal coping exercise—they could have never pulled this off. And they did.
We get things done. Republicans may still be behind the curve regarding Democrats’ knowledge of maximizing institutional power to come after their enemies, but we’ll get there. We must, as the Democratic Party has become our blood rivals. The Democratic response was as predictable as ever—calls for impeachment and a laughable argument that the strikes were illegal. The president can’t unilaterally bomb people and the like.
The Democrats have zero grasp of history, and it’s brutally exposed here. By these standards, Barack Obama should be impeached for his bin Laden raid, where US Navy Seals breached Pakistani airspace, and the air campaign against Qaddafi in Libya. Also, the president does have the power to initiate airstrikes. Sure, one could argue against it, but it’s largely disregarded. Is that good or bad? It’s what it is, and it’s not going to change. It won’t change now or when Trump has long left office.
The other comical part is that some Democrats, like Sen. Chris Murphy, said he read some intelligence, which was likely the cartoon on a Bazooka Joe wrapper, that said Iran posed no imminent threat. Really? Is that why Iran allegedly said it’s activated terror cells in the United States, operatives it likely got into the country under Joe Biden’s open border bonanza? That’s not a threat, Chris? It is, and it’s cause for war. Second, given that reaction, do we want to continue this nation's nuclear ambitions? We’ll swarm you with terrorists if you stop us from getting the bomb—sounds like a rational actor.
Stopping Iran from getting nuclear weapons is a bipartisan goal. It’s not new. And we knew bombings could happen. It likely would’ve happened under Obama, which is why he raced to get his shoddy Iran nuclear deal through to avoid that decision from ever coming across his desk. What Trump did isn’t an overreach or even shocking. Unilateral military actions of this size and scope aren’t new either. The threat posed by Iran, the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism, isn’t new. Nothing is new, not even the Trump-deranged hysterics from the usual suspects.
Shut up, sit down, and let us protect America and get it growing again. Democrats would have us palling around with the Ayatollah by now.
