If not now, when?

The reason why it had to be now was because Iran was building impenetrable defenses by manufacturing their own weapons and drones.
They were manufacturing and also buying from other countries, so it would act as if it were the Iron Dome or what will be the Golden Dome.
At the rate they could produce the uranium to make a nuclear weapon, combined with the rate they were manufacturing a defensive border,
it wouldn't be very long before the world literally would of been at the mercy of the IRGC. Which is an oxymoron because the IRGC know no mercy.

We had the intelligence, we had the military, and we had a plan.
Now or never.

History won't be able to record how the world turned a blind eye to the threat of nuclear annihilation, and the aftermath of that menace.
Not this time.

But now we know the threats that are out there and they are many.
I just pray we don't fall back asleep.

I agree ... but it did not have to be so drawn out ... Vance and his MOU and jaw jaw derailed the plan to get in and get out.
The urgency of the situation was not sold well ... and the MSM of course did its best to confuse people.
No country wants Iran to have a nuclear weapon ... but only Trump has the guts to face it head on.

Analysis of IAEA Iran Verification and Monitoring Report — May 2025

Iran can convert its current stock of 60 percent enriched uranium into 233 kg of weapon-grade uranium (WGU) in three weeks at the Fordow Fuel Enrichment Plant (FFEP), enough for 9 nuclear weapons, taken as 25 kg of WGU per weapon.

Iran could produce its first quantity of 25 kg of WGU in Fordow in as little as two to three days.

Breaking out in both Fordow and the Natanz Fuel Enrichment Plant (FEP), the two facilities together could produce enough WGU for 11 nuclear weapons in the first month, enough for 15 nuclear weapons by the end of the second month, 19 by the end of the third month, 21 by the end of the fourth month, and 22 by the end of the fifth month.

You know how cynical this all is?
Remember back in 2015 when Hillary was warning everybody, "Trump is going to cause WW3" !

This not long after she sold 1/10 of our Uranium to "canada" , which somehow made it's way to Iran. Add to that pallets of cash from the Obama Admin.

Knowing what you know now about how close Iran really was to pushing a button,
They would of been somewhere in another country sipping champagne and watching America go up in flames.
You heard about the 16 year Plan?

We been dodging bullets for a long time.
Think of this as "Intermission" .

Don't forget about the people who live there. I don't even know the population of Persians in Iran, it has to be in the millions.
They are trying to form their own army but they are up against the IRGC and other terrorist groups that work with the IRGC.
The people are afraid. Just last spring 70k got mowed down in the streets just for protesting.

They don't have weapons for self-defence. They have "gun control" .
The whole financial system is entwined in this mess, global banks, supply chains.
A lot of countries depend on that Straight to get their food and fuel supplies.
At least we are there defending that supply chain. Other nations in the area are starting to pitch in.
And then Saudi gets hit by the Houthis, Qatar gets hit by Hezbollah..
It's a family fued.

I honestly believe what we are doing is buying time for the Iranian people to be able to take back their government.
But who do you trust to put in charge? The people are scattered, they need to know what and who their options are.
We don't want to go in and destroy all the structures because the people need a functioning country to live in.
But at the same time, the enemy is using those same structures to attack from.

It's a hard situation.
One that no other Administrations wanted to face. They just threw money at it and wished it away.
It only grew bigger.

It is what it is.

I pray the Persian people win this war and take back their country and begin to live in peace again.
And the world.
It's a pretty big ask, but I believe it's already in the plan.

Thanks for recognizing that President Trump needed to take action. MSM leans left so they always try to make him look bad. And many gullible Americans just watch MSM.

The action he took is replacing Susie Wile with Stephen Miller as Chief of Staff.
Miller has been his speech writer and his most fanatical Maga supporter.
A bad move by Trump, indicating he will try to follow a hardline policy.
He is ignoring the will of the American people.
Bad news.

My prediction is Trump will not be in the White House after January 2027, he will be impeached.

I wish ...but I don't think that will happen (although it should). I don't think anyone will hold him accountable. The MAGA Christians won't hold him accountable, nor will the Dems, or those Republicans who say they disagree with him. They're too afraid of him. And most of them have had their own hands in the cookie jar. So they have to watch their backs. It's dog eat dog, sadly.

Justice will be done.
(Miller is the most evil of that bunch.)

One way or the other .....but if it happens, praise God!

The reason I would like to Trump to run again (I know he has already been in office twice) is because he partners with Israel, and God is very clear that those who bless Israel, God will bless. Democrats are not kind to Israel.

Actually "Israel" is the body of Christ......The Church.
------------------------------------------------------
Here is what your "Christian" president has done for you:

Most grocery prices are still higher than they were a year ago.

Trump’s family businesses are making billions while small business owners see higher prices and smaller margins with wild tariff changes.

He’s making your streaming platforms more expensive by directing corporate mergers to favor his donors, especially in media. Less competition = higher prices for media + streaming services.

While corporate media consolidates, public media was cut to the bone.

Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill slashed Medicaid and other social services – attacking seniors, people with disabilities, and working families.

Trump made your healthcare more expensive by blocking legislation to keep monthly premiums low.

He’s flooding our streets with armed ICE agents and the National Guard, turning our neighbors against us in our own streets.

He allowed Elon Musk, an unelected billionaire with no government experience, access to your sensitive information, all while saving the government no money.

That information was likely accessed by hackers, meaning they may have your data from the government.

Participatingin a trial for new medicine or medical procedures? Trump may have canceled the contract for it, including cancer research.

Just last week, Trump canceled grants to help treat addiction and mental health.

About those tariffs? Congress used to set them. Now, any president can radically change industry and retail costs for Americans and call it tariffs.

Trump made it OK to illegally invade another country in a broad expansion of presidential powers that Congress is suppose to .

Withdrawing from international treaties means other countries are less likely to follow the rules when they benefit America.

Children are less protected from fatal childhood illnesses after vaccine guidance changed.

And most adults are now more vulnerable to COVID-19, and possibly other diseases from additional guidance changes.

International rules about military combat? Trump ignores them, illegally repainting military planes, meaning our enemies will ignore them too.

Your congressional representation can change anytime, on a whim, through mid-cycle redistricting, even between census reports. Tough luck on having your needs heard and met if a different political party gets control.

Black and Latino representation is likely to drop in Congress, thanks to Trump’s mid-cycle redistricting.

The closure of USAID will likely allow HIV/AIDS and other diseases to spread more rapidly, mutating and becoming drug-resistant. Future pandemics will be harder to contain.

Rolled backprice caps on insulin.

Lawyers and higher education institutions could be expected to “bend the knee” to all future presidents after Trump challenged them and received financial settlements from them for their policies.

If you have a child that has a disability or should receive special services, and your public school doesn’t provide the services, there is no one at the Department of Education to help. Trump has basically closed the department.

Have a federal student loan? Trump eliminated several student loan repayment programs, making it harder for young Americans to pay off their debt.

Depend on tourism revenue? Foreign tourism has dropped significantly.

Want to immigrate or have afamily member immigrate to the United States? It’s now about how much you pay, not merit or whether you are fleeing a bad situation.

Independent justice? Not with Trump, who has officially remade the Department of Justice into his personal police force and law firm all in one. If Trump doesn’t like you, the DOJ or FBI could come knocking.

Literal children are being bullied by the most powerful man in the world. Transgender students are culture war targets, canceling coverage for trans health care, punishing schools for support trans students.

Natural disasters hit your town? Trump’s axed a lotof disaster relief programs, and it takes months of public outcry and lawsuits for any federal funds to be released.

FirstAmendment rights? Trump’s never heard of them. He might sue your college if he doesn’t like campus protests.

Federal agents can apparently shoot you with no ramifications or investigation. The president will slander your name.

Government officials and veterans now face heavy consequences for speaking out. That means the next president can try to strip your military rank or mess with your post-service benefits if you don’t agree with them.

The president can unilaterally decide how your taxpayer dollars are spent, because Congress won’t stand up and reclaim the power of the purse. That means you might lose federal funding for child care centers in your state at the drop of a hat.

Know a veteran who came back from service needing extra medical help? Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill cut Veterans Affairs benefits and hours at VA hospitals.

New lax environmental regulations prioritize enriching energy corporations over protecting people. Will your community experience an environmental disaster that could have been avoided?

Trump’s executive order on voting and elections could mean future presidents, not local officials, start controlling your right to vote.

No more independent banking or consumer protections. Trump gut the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and is trying to oust independent banking officials. A shaky financial sector could mean a looming recession or worse.

Back to bombing random countries at random times. Will young Americans be forced back into a forever war with Iran or someone else?

Presidents are supposed to represent our best selves. Trump flips off Americans, giving people an excuse to treat others poorly.

Want a safe workplace? Trump has limited OSHA rules and regulations, meaning bad bosses can get away with unsafe working conditions.

He’s also got rid of a lot of regulations around keeping our food safe. Higher food prices and more likely to get sick? Yuck.

You can make large changes to the White House or other federal buildings, allowing donors to fund the changes without any public oversight.

Enjoy our beautiful national parks? Funding has been stripped, workers fired and not replaced, and getting passes is harder than ever.

Whether it’sthe Epstein files, monthly job data during Trump’s government shutdown, or something else, it’s now common for the government to withhold the truth from the public. A big red flag here.

Bringing back racism anddiscrimination in hiring? Yeah, that’s what ending diversity programs and attacking universities who have them will do.

Born in the U.S. and believe you’re a citizen? Not according to the president, who’s wants the Supreme Court to end your constitutional right to birthright citizenship. If a president can upend a constitutional amendment by executive order, can’t all of them be put into doubt?
