Iranians Worldwide Supporting US Hits On Iran
🚨BREAKING: Iranians FLOOD into the streets of Western cities, waving flags and cheering the United States while celebrating the dawn of a FREE Iran.

NOW Is The Time To Act Courageously!
And now, this from Democrat strategist Mark Penn:
The time is now Iran has terrorized the world for nearly 50 years with its demonization of the west and the creation of a terror state that long ago lost the support of its own people. They gunned down tens of thousands of their own people believing they could do it and nothing would happen to them. The actions of President Trump are a heroic turn of events in which the regime that had as its ambition to conquer the region will face destruction and not be allowed to continue to suppress its own people while threatening the world. While Obama and Biden enabled Iran, Trump drew a red line and meant it. This is a just cause and we must all support our military in this effort that has been clearly planned and thought out as never before. May they be successful in making this a more peaceful and better world.

Noonan: The STILL Don't Know How To Handle Him!
Excerpts from Peggy Noonan, writing in the Wall Street Jorunal:
"Ten years in, and Democrats still don’t know how to handle Donald Trump. He used them as foils and they allowed it, sitting there snarling, at points screaming. Part of how to handle him is if he tries to manipulate you into doing the right thing—if, for instance, he challenges you to stand in respect for a mother mourning the murder of her daughter—you put aside that you’re being manipulated and stand. Because it is right to show human sympathy and regard. The thing to do is look better than Mr. Trump, not worse. You say: My base demands coldness. Then get a new base. If you can’t, leave before you are reduced to a soulless husk of the eager, happy person who walked into that chamber a decade ago. . . .
"Mr. Trump brought back his social issues—immigration, transgenderism, crime. Most potent was the story of Iryna Zarutska, the 23-year-old woman murdered last August in Charlotte, N.C. She had legally migrated here with her family from Ukraine and was working in a pizzeria. Her story haunts me, haunts a lot of people. She was brand-new here, innocent of America, and died by herself in terror on a train seat, her throat slashed; the last thing she saw was the towering man, her blood dripping from his knife.
"It haunts us because in the way of life the obscure judges and court officers and prosecutors and legislators who let it happen are all fine, their lives undisturbed, but the girl is dead and the man who killed her had been arrested more than a dozen times before the stabbing, and had a criminal record going back to 2007. He never should have been free to do what he did."

A Powerful Speech Of Renewal And Resolve!
Last night, President Donald J. Trump delivered a historic State of the Union address before a joint session of Congress — proudly declaring the dawn of a new Golden Age after just one year of transformative leadership in his second term. In a powerful speech, President Trump highlighted unprecedented accomplishments: a fully secure border, plummeting inflation, falling gas prices and crime rates, surging stock markets and 401(k)s, massive tax relief for working Americans, and bold actions to restore peace through strength abroad.
This was a speech of renewal and resolve — yet congressional Democrats, consumed by delusional hatred and obstruction, refused to join in celebrating these victories for the American people.Tonight, Democrats refused to applaud:
- Reaffirming “the first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens.”
- The grieving families of innocent American women and children murdered by criminal illegal aliens — including the mother of Iryna Zarutska, a North Carolina woman savagely killed on public transit by an illegal alien monster.
- Securing our homeland and finally ending the invasion of savage criminal illegal aliens — killers, rapists, gang members, and traffickers — with the strongest, most secure border in American history.
- Prioritizing American citizens over illegal aliens.
- Unifying against political violence.
- Inflation finally subsiding after years of Democrat-driven price shocks that crushed working families.
- Keeping violent criminals locked up.
- Lower prescription drug prices for millions of Americans.
- The decisive military action that brought indicted narcoterrorist Nicolás Maduro to justice, crippling drug cartels and liberating our hemisphere from vicious narcotrafficking terrorists.
- Protecting minor children from the horrors of irreversible sex changes.
- Gas prices dropping to multi-year lows, putting money back in Americans’ pockets.
- Law enforcement officers being respected once again after years of vilification.
- The financial futures of millions of American newborns through Trump Accounts.
- Protecting the integrity of our elections by preventing illegal aliens from undermining our democracy.
- Banning large corporations from scooping up single-family homes, ensuring they remain available for working Americans.
- Ending widespread fraud schemes — like the $19 billion Somali fraud scandal that burdened Minnesota taxpayers.
- Warrior Dividends for our great military heroes.
- Reducing the flow of deadly fentanyl across our border by a record 56% in one year.
- The single largest drop in the murder rate in 125 years, making our streets safer.
- Explosive growth in retirement accounts and 401(k)s for millions of hardworking Americans.
- Landmark tax relief through the Working Families Tax Cuts Act: No Tax on Tips, No Tax on Overtime, No Tax on Social Security, and more historic savings.
- A World War II hero who helped liberate the largest internment camp in the Philippines.
- Ending eight wars and delivering peace through unmatched American strength.
- America’s military might restoring respect and fear among our adversaries.
- Massive economic growth.
- Total victory over terrorists abroad.
Yes, It Was TRiUMPhant! Here's Why . . .
Watching the president’s State of the Union address last night, I was once again impressed by three important factors:

HOCKEY GOLD: Setting The Record Straight
Sadly, some people are trying to politicize the recent series of events surrounding the US hockey team's stunning gold medal victory at the Olympic games. It's time to set the record straight:
The facts:
1) In 1980 then Vice President Walter Mondale (a Minnesotan and a huge hockey fan) attended the Olympic games, was at the championship hockey game when the US defeated Russia and celebrated with the team afterwards in the locker room.
2) On the heels of their big victory (aka The Miracle on Ice) then President Jimmy Carter invited the team to the White House. The team accepted and were later feted by the President and Mrs. Carter and congressional leaders in Washington.
3) In 1980, both Republicans and Democrats joined together to celebrate the team. Throughout the nation, as far as anyone could tell, people of every race, color, faith, neighborhood and political persuasion took pride in the win and were overjoyed.
4) FBI Director Kash Patel played hockey, is a huge hockey fan, is friend's with the coach of the US team, attended the championship Olympic game in Milan and celebrated with the winning USA team.
5) Director Patel was in the locker room with the team after the game and put the team on the phone with the president who invited the team to the White House and the upcoming State of the Union Address. The president invited the winning US women's hockey team as well. The men's team accepted the president's invitation. The women 's team is reprteably unable to attend at this time due to a scheduling conflict. They will presumably accept at a later date.
6) Those who are attempting to politicize the teams' victories, Patel's attendance at the game, President Trump's invite and other aspects of this series of events are wrong. They are making fools of themselves.
7) The president is the president of all the people. He's my president and, yes -- he's your president too. The Olympic teams and participants represent our entire country. Pride in and love of country are nothing to apologize for. In fact, they are normally (and always should be) part of such participation.
8) When the president invites you to Washington to be recognized and honored, unless you have some truly compelling reason not to accept, you accept and you attend. It's a matter of respect, no matter who the president may be.

Why ICE OUT Makes NO Sense Whatsoever!
And, sadly, another MUST READ story:
This is Matthew Carney. He was 42 years old. An ILLEGAL was stealing tools from Carneys pickup truck outside of the restaurant he owned. Carney came out confronted him and attempted to stop him. He then proceeded to drive into Matthew, who was critically injured and later died. The ILLEGAL was also wanted on an outstanding auto theft warrant. These are the people Democrats protest FOR. They don't care about their victims. And sadly, these defenders of those who are here illegally also include Catholic bishops and pastors.
Carney was beloved in Nashville by patrons of his restaurant and everyone who knew him.
From WZTV in Nashville: "ICE confirms a man accused of killing a popular restaurant owner is an illegal immigrant. Court records show he has had a previous run in with the law in Davidson County, but somehow his immigration status failed to raise red flags.
"Ulises Raigoz-Martinez was charged with the death of Smokin Thighs owner Matthew Carney after he died on July 4 from a hit-and-run crash at his restaurant. That hit and run happened on June 19, according to police.
"Now Martinez faces several charges including criminal homicide."

Trump Outlines Plan After Supreme Court Ruling
From the President of the United States:
The Supreme Court’s Ruling on TARIFFS is deeply disappointing! I am ashamed of certain Members of the Court for not having the Courage to do what is right for our Country. I would like to thank and congratulate Justices Thomas, Alito, and Kavanaugh for your Strength, Wisdom, and Love of our Country, which is right now very proud of you. When you read the dissenting opinions, there is no way that anyone can argue against them. Foreign Countries that have been ripping us off for years are ecstatic, and dancing in the streets — But they won’t be dancing for long! The Democrats on the Court are thrilled, but they will automatically vote “NO” against ANYTHING that makes America Strong and Healthy Again. They, also, are a Disgrace to our Nation. Others think they’re being “politically correct,” which has happened before, far too often, with certain Members of this Court when, in fact, they’re just FOOLS and “LAPDOGS” for the RINOS and Radical Left Democrats and, not that this should have anything to do with it, very unpatriotic, and disloyal to the Constitution. It is my opinion that the Court has been swayed by Foreign Interests, and a Political Movement that is far smaller than people would think — But obnoxious, ignorant, and loud!
This was an important case to me, more as a symbol of Economic and National Security, than anything else. The Good News is that there are methods, practices, Statutes, and other Authorities, as recognized by the entire Court and Congress, that are even stronger than the IEEPA TARIFFS, available to me as President of the United States of America and, in actuality, I was very modest in my “ask” of other Countries and Businesses because I wanted to do nothing that could sway the decision that has been rendered by the Court.
I have very effectively utilized TARIFFS over the past year to, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN. Our Stock Market has just recently broken the 50,000 mark on the DOW and, simultaneously, 7,000 on the S&P, two numbers that everybody thought, upon our Landslide Election Victory, could not be attained until the very end of my Administration — Four years! TARIFFS have, likewise, been used to end five of the eight Wars that I settled, have given us Great National Security and, together with our Strong Border, reduced Fentanyl coming into our Country by 30%, when I use them as a penalty against Countries illegally sending this poison to us. All of those TARIFFS remain, but other alternatives will now be used to replace the ones that the Court incorrectly rejected.
To show you how ridiculous the opinion is, the Court said that I’m not allowed to charge even $1 DOLLAR to any Country under IEEPA, I assume to protect other Countries, not the United States which they should be interested in protecting — But I am allowed to cut off any and all Trade or Business with that same Country, even imposing a Foreign Country destroying embargo, and do anything else I want to do to them — How nonsensical is that? They are saying that I have the absolute right to license, but not the right to charge a license fee. What license has ever been issued without the right to charge a fee? But now the Court has given me the unquestioned right to ban all sorts of things from coming into our Country, a much more powerful Right than many people thought we had.
Our Country is the “HOTTEST” anywhere in the World, but now, I am going in a different direction, which is even stronger than our original choice. As Justice Kavanaugh wrote in his Dissent:
“Although I firmly disagree with the Court's holding today, the decision might not substantially constrain a President's ability to order tariffs going forward. That is because numerous other federal statutes authorize the President to impose tariffs and might justify most (if not all) of the tariffs issued in this case...Those statutes include, for example, the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 (Section 232); the Trade Act of 1974 (Sections 122, 201, and 301); and the Tariff Act of 1930 (Section 338).”
Thank you Justice Kavanaugh!
In actuality, while I am sure they did not mean to do so, the Supreme Court’s decision today made a President’s ability to both regulate Trade, and impose TARIFFS, more powerful and crystal clear, rather than less. There will no longer be any doubt, and the Income coming in, and the protection of our Companies and Country, will actually increase because of this decision. Based on longstanding Law and Hundreds of Victories to the contrary, the Supreme Court did not overrule TARIFFS, they merely overruled a particular use of IEEPA TARIFFS. The ability to block, embargo, restrict, license, or impose any other condition on a Foreign Country’s ability to conduct Trade with the United States under IEEPA, has been fully confirmed by this decision. In order to protect our Country, a President can actually charge more TARIFFS than I was charging in the past under the various other TARIFF authorities, which have also been confirmed, and fully allowed.
Therefore, effective immediately, all National Security TARIFFS, Section 232 and existing Section 301 TARIFFS, remain in place, and in full force and effect. Today I will sign an Order to impose a 10% GLOBAL TARIFF, under Section 122, over and above our normal TARIFFS already being charged, and we are also initiating several Section 301 and other Investigations to protect our Country from unfair Trading practices. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

Nah, Sherrill Ain't Freezin' YOUR Utility Bills!
By Matt Rooney at Save Jersey (reposted with permission):
Let’s face it: thousands of New Jerseyans voted for Mikie Sherrill last November because they actually, truly believed that she was going to “freeze” their skyrocketing utility bills. Nothing Sherrill has accomplished over the last few weeks suggests she’s serious about helping the New Jerseyans who literally pay the bills.
On Tuesday, the Sherrill Administration announced that it is initiating a pilot program funded by the American Water Charitable Foundation. The plan? “[P]rovide 1,250 New Jersey families enrolled in the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program – primarily in Camden County – to receive a one-time $200 grant to help pay their utility bills.”
“My Administration is committed to exploring every option at our disposal to drive down utility costs for New Jersey families,” said Governor Mikie Sherrill. “This pilot program targeting WIC enrollees is a great example of the innovative solutions we are bringing to our mission of delivering direct relief for those most in need.”
God bless EBT card users, Save Jerseyans, but once again, the struggling middle class isn’t priority #1 for Trenton’s generosity:
Here’s another angle that many critics haven’t touched:
As Trenton has readily admitted, “immigration status” does NOT affect WIC eligibility:
Since the families will be “randomly selected,” there doesn’t appear to be any guarantee that illegal aliens won’t receive help with their utility bills before YOU do.
Is this what you voted for?
