March 2, 2026: WAR – What is it Good For?

Resurfaced Clip of Trump Telling Host His Plan for Iran in 1980 Goes Viral

Trump Says Iran Operations Likely to Last 4 to 5 Weeks, but Prepared ‘to go far longer

The president said U.S. forces are out to destroy Iran’s missile capabilities, wipe out its naval capacity, stop the country from obtaining a nuclear weapon and “ensuring that the Iranian regime cannot continue to arm fund and directors armies outside of their borders.”

He said U.S. attacks have already “knocked out” 10 ships, and that attacks on Iran’s missile capacity is ensuring they is destroyed while stopping “their capacity to produce brand ones.”

This was our last, best chance to strike — what we’re doing right now — and eliminate the intolerable threats posed by this sick and sinister regime,” Trump said… (Continue to full article)

Trump Warns Iran the US Can Drag out the War for Longer for Four Weeks… and insists ‘I won’t get bored

They’re HERE!

Donald Trump on Monday assured the American public that the US was equipped to fight a lengthy war with Iran if necessary, but boasted that Operation Epic Fury was already ahead of schedule.

The President also stressed he would not get ‘bored’ if the war dragged on longer than expected.

Trump was in the East Room for a Medal of Honor ceremony when he gave his first public comments on this weekend’s Iran strikes, which resulted in the deaths of four US troops.

Today, we grieve for the four heroic American service members who have been killed in action, and send our love and support to their families,’ the President said. ‘In their memory, we continue this mission with ferocious, unyielding resolve to crush the threat this terrorist regime poses to the American people.’

‘We have the strongest and most powerful, by far, military in the world, and we will easily prevail,’ Trump said.

The four deceased soldiers have yet to be identified… (Continue to full article)

Sick and Sinister Regime’: Trump Outlines War Aims and Says US Seized ‘Last, Best Chance’ to Hit Iranian Theocracy ’s Remorse: The Regret Election
In his first live address since striking the Iranian regime, President Donald Trump said the campaign dubbed “Operation Epic Fury” could last four to five weeks but is “substantially ahead” of schedule. Its aim, Trump added, is to cripple Iran’s missiles, navy, nuclear program, and terror proxies.

“This was our last best chance to strike … and eliminate the intolerable threats posed by this sick and sinister regime,” Trump said Monday during a Medal of Honor ceremony at the White House. “And they are, indeed, sick and sinister.”

Trump said he initially expected the campaign to last “four to five weeks, but we have capability to go far longer than that.” At the same time, he said the campaign is “substantially ahead of our time projections.”

“We thought we had a deal, but then they backed out,” Trump said Monday. “I said, ‘You can’t deal with these people. You gotta do it the right way.’”… (Continue to full article)

Trump Said “I Can Destroy the Country” During a Press Conference After the Supreme Court Struck Down His Tariffs.
He Called It a “Chilling” Power He Holds. He Said He Won’t Use It. Then He Signed New Tariffs the Same Night.

Critics called the statement alarming. Supporters said he was making a philosophical point about executive restraint. Legal scholars noted that the statement came on the same day the Supreme Court told him, in its strongest terms yet, that he had exceeded his constitutional authority.

He Said He Wouldn’t Destroy It. Then He Signed New Tariffs Before Midnight… (Continue to full article)

The Road to World War III
The failure of Putin and Xi to stand up for their countries in the face of Washington’s aggression has convinced Trump that he can act with impunity anywhere in the world. Remember, Trump said words to the effect that he can do whatever he wants. Trumps words reminded me of Lenin when he declared that “the scientific concept of dictatorship means neither more nor less than unlimited power, resting directly on force, not limited by anything, not restricted by any laws, nor any absolute rules. Nothing else but that.”

With AI destroying endless thousands of American jobs, Trump will have plenty of canon fodder with which to invade Cuba, Turkey, Egypt (“from the Nile to the Euphrates”), and with which to occupy Taiwan.

The Iranian government shares responsibility for the attack on Iran with Russia, China, Israel, and Trump. The witless Iranian government allowed itself to again be deceived, thinking that they were in peace negotiations with Trump while Trump and Israel were preparing an attack on Iran… (Continue to full article)

Iran – Beyond The Obvious

The attack on Iran will likely have deeper meaning and more significant consequences across the globe than are immediately apparent. History will be the judge;

This last weekend, the US and Israel executed precision military strikes on numerous targets in Iran. Although Iran responded by launching thousands of drones and ballistic missiles against targets in Israel and in numerous nearby middle Eastern states, with only a few exceptions, most of those drones and missiles were intercepted. As expected, groups sympathetic to Iran initiated terrorist attacks in other countries, including the US. Likely, similar attacks will continue for weeks to come.

What is not so obvious are the consequences flowing from two major aspects of Iran’s activities and policies

The joint attacks on Iran successfully eliminated most of the high level leadership of the Islamic regime, as well as many of the Iran Republican Guards, and numerous military supply, support, and naval facilities. The Iranian people have been called to take back their country, and the response from expatriate Iranians has been overwhelmingly positive.

All this and more was anticipated and reasonably expected… (Continue to full article)

Iran Raises The Red Flag Of Revenge Over The Jamkaran Mosque As Shiite Muslims All Over The Globe Start To Commit Acts Of Terror

I don’t think that most people in the western world fully grasp the importance of what has just transpired. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was not just the supreme leader of Iran. He was a direct descendant of the Muhammad, and that gave him the right to wear the black turban. For Shiite Muslims, the direct descendants of Muhammad are considered to be the only legitimate spiritual and political successors to Muhammad. They are believed to possess divine knowledge and authority, and killing such an individual is considered to be unthinkable. There are statues and photographs of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei literally everywhere you go in Iran, and now that he is dead there are 200 million Shiite Muslims all over the world that are extremely angry.

The Iranians have also been hitting U.S. military bases located throughout the Middle East…

Following Israel and the Untied States’ initiation of a coordinated large-scale military assault against Iran, the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has conducted large scale ballistic missile attacks against Israel, and also targeted U.S. military bases in the Gulf region including in facilities Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. Footage from countries across the region have shown explosions at the targeted bases, although the extent of the damage remains unknown. The United States has maintained a large military footprint across the Gulf region since 1990, when it first established bases in Saudi Arabia to stage a military buildup against Iraq, which paved the way to a full scale U.S.-led invasion of the country in 2003.

Sadly, it appears that the Iranian strikes have caused at least some American casualties. For many Shiite Muslims, there is no limit as to what they would be willing to do to get revenge.

They will never forgive, and they will never forget.

Yes, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is gone, but his legacy will be with us for a long time to come…. (Continue to full article)

Marquardt: Do You Think Property Rights Exist Now in America? – Well, Think Again!

There is no way I can possibly count all the ways our property is being stolen from us by our so-called government “of the people, by the people, for the people”. But we are losing our property rights at breakneck speed and soon we will be property if we don’t put a stop to this iniquitous thievery.

Washington State Supreme Court Justice Richard B. Sanders sagely and succinctly wrote: “Property in a thing consists not merely in its ownership and possession, but in the unrestricted right of use, enjoyment, and disposal. Anything which destroys any of the elements of property, to that extent, destroys the property itself. The substantial value of property lies in its use. If the right of use be denied, the value of the property is annihilated and ownership is rendered a barren right.”

That should go without saying. Continue reading

Hickman: The 92% Tax Rate That Nobody Ever Paid

In 1954, Frank Sinatra was on top of the world. He’d just won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor in From Here to Eternity — a comeback role that rescued his career after years of decline and a voice hemorrhage that nearly ended it all.

Hollywood was paying him handsomely again. But there was a problem. The top marginal income tax rate was 92%, and Sinatra was about to watch most of his comeback earnings disappear before a single penny ever hit his bank account.

So Ol’ Blue Eyes did what every major Hollywood star at the time was doing: he set up what was known as a “collapsible corporation.” Continue reading

Snyder: Has America Reached Peak Idiocracy?

We live in a lowest common denominator society. For the last several decades, virtually every major institution in our society has become less civilized, and that is because our entire population has become less civilized. 20 years ago, a film entitled “Idiocracy” was released. It was about an average American that was selected for “a top-secret hibernation program but is forgotten and left to awaken to a future so incredibly moronic that he’s easily the most intelligent person alive”. It was an incredibly stupid movie, but the truth is that we are living it right now. Did you see the Super Bowl halftime show?

The FCC has ruled that it didn’t violate any federal decency regulations. Of course we might as well not have any decency regulations at all, because our television shows and our movies are filled with some of the raunchiest material imaginable and nobody ever seems to get in trouble for it. Of course that is only part of the equation. Most of the “programming” that we constantly consume also seems to be specifically designed for people of extremely low intelligence.

Sadly, this is not a coincidence. It has been said that art imitates life, and that is certainly accurate in this case. Continue reading

GOP Rep: ICE Agents Are Cleaning Up Mess Left Behind by Biden Admin

Under political pressure to punish Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE) and its agents, a Republican lawmaker says the Trump administration is enforcing immigration laws that were trampled on by the open-borders Biden administration.

U.S. Rep. Josh Breechen (R-OK), who sits on the House Homeland Security Committee, was interviewed on the “Washington Watch” program Wednesday after participating in a contentious committee hearing. The hearing featured Democrats grilling and lecturing ICE Director Todd Lyons after two anti-ICE activists, Renee Good and Alex Pretti, were shot and killed by ICE agents in Minneapolis with phone cameras recording the incidents.

Hickman: When Government Subsidies Stopped – Doritos Got 15% Cheaper

PepsiCo spent $2.8 million last year lobbying to keep junk food eligible for food stamps.

But last week – after Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. got 18 states to ban SNAP purchases of products like soda, candy, and processed snacks – PepsiCo announced price cuts of up to 15% on Doritos, Lay’s, Tostitos, and other Frito-Lay products.

The company’s official explanation was “affordability.” CEO Ramon Laguarta cited low-income consumers are switching to store brands.

But the timing tells the real story. Continue reading

Garrison: The Off Switches

Many of us suspect the protests in Minnesota are by no means grass-root. The protestors are well-organized, carry slickly-printed signs, and uniformly shout the same messages. They used a cell phone message program called ‘Signal’ to implement their movements around town to counter ICE agents. They are getting paid by billionaire agitators such as George Soros and his son. Continue reading

Hickman: Does America Still Have the Tools to Solve Its Problems?

Two days ago I wrote to you about How Elizabeth Warren Destroyed an American Technology Company headquartered in her home state.

She killed a deal for Amazon to buy iRobot – maker of the popular Roomba robot vacuum cleaner. And as a result, iRobot filed for bankruptcy and got scooped up for peanuts by a Chinese rival.

All of that US intellectual property, not to mention mountains of personal data on iRobot’s US consumers, was handed over to the Chinese… courtesy of America’s favorite Cherokee warrior. Continue reading

DeWeese: A Challenge to Republican/Conservative Forces – What’s Your Plan to Win?

Republican spokesmen and conservative media continue to report with glee that the Democrats are out of control and finished as a political force. “They’re clueless,” “they’re crazy.” “Their leadership is completely out of control.” “The Democrats are done.” On and on it goes. “Are you tired of winning yet,” goes the most popular slogan. And, “The midterms are in the Republicans hands!”

My frustration grows as I’m forced to watch the absolute downfall of American freedom, led by those same pathetic Republican forces who have ignored and completely misunderstand the agenda they have been facing for over thirty years. Above all, they have no idea how dedicated the powers behind it are to assuring that it’s fully enforced. Continue reading

Hickman: How Elizabeth Warren Destroyed an American Technology Company

Almost exactly two years ago I wrote about Senator Elizabeth Warren’s heroic quest to destroy Amazon’s acquisition of iRobot.

You might be familiar with iRobot; they are the maker of the robotic “Roomba” vacuum cleaner, and Amazon wanted to buy it for more than $1 billion.

Well, Lizzie Warren wasn’t having any of that. She wrote a hysterical letter to the Federal Trade Commission claiming the deal would “harm consumers,” as if we helpless little people would somehow suffer grievous bodily injury if Amazon bought a vacuum cleaner company. Continue reading

Sara: Another Shooting in Minnesota

And it’s awful. Again!

Again, another person who believed their presence was necessary, their purpose noble, and their cause just – did not return home.

Another person who believed they were fighting Nazis, the Gestapo, or fascists — fought to the death. Whether they wanted to, needed to, or understood what they were doing.

Another preventable situation that devolved quickly.

Another damaging war of words and narratives followed.

And the road of restoration for our nation becomes a little harder to pass – littered with all the junk dragged into it by both sides. Continue reading

I Have Spent Years Teaching in Public Schools… Here is why I will homeschool my own future kids.

The Biblical admonition to train up a child in the way he should go is part of the basis for homeschooling in this country. By creating new institutions on a Godly basis away from corrupt cultural Marxist thought and method, America will build the infrastructure to return to greatness. Today these new institutions may include homeschooling, home churches, small home based business, etc. These are the building blocks of the return to sanity in America.

While Emily Bute isn’t a mom yet, she has already made one decision for her future kids: she will not be sending them to public school.

As a special education teacher in the public school system herself, she said she has seen first hand how the ‘system does not address the needs’ of children.

Bute, based in Oahu, Hawaii, recently went viral on TikTok after she broke down all the reasons why she has decided that she will homeschool her kids when she has them. Continue reading

Hickman: Taxing Everything That’s Nailed Down

In the ancient town of Casinum – modern-day Cassino, Italy – parts of a Roman amphitheater still stand after nearly 2,000 years.

Carved into the stone, in Latin, is an inscription that translates to: “Ummidia Quadratilla, daughter of Caius, built the amphitheatre and temple for the people of Casinum at her expense.”

Ummidia Quadratilla was a wealthy Roman businesswoman who funded multiple public works, all out of her own pocket. Her name was carved in stone for eternity. When she died, she was respected enough that the younger Pliny wrote admiringly about her.

The Romans (and Greeks before them) called this practice euergetes – wealthy citizens funding infrastructure projects in exchange for public recognition. Rich people actually competed with one another to see who could give more since public generosity elevated one’s status. Continue reading

David saw a massive angel hovering over Jerusalem ready to destroy it (1 Chronicles 21)

King David sinned by taking a census (trusting in numbers rather than God). A plague hit Israel. David looked up toward the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.

He saw “the angel of the Lord standing between heaven and earth, with a drawn sword in his hand extended over Jerusalem.”

Visually, this is terrifying. A spiritual giant suspended in the sky, silhouetted against the sun or stars. In its hand is a colossal sword, pointed downward at the city. David and the elders, dressed in sackcloth, fell facedown. The threshing floor (a place where wheat is crushed) became the altar. David bought the site instantly to offer a sacrifice. That very spot, where the angel stopped, later became the site of Solomon’s Temple. The Temple was built on the ground where judgment was halted by sacrifice.

David did not sin by taking a census, Satan was attacking Israel (much like today) and David was making preparations.

Marquardt: Masters of Seduction, an Introduction!

A Personal Note from Tom DeWeese:
The following article from APC Vice President Kathleen Marquardt is quite long, but it is vital information detailing exactly how the radical Left operates and has been able to successfully label those of us working to stop them as mere conspiracy theorists and hate mongers. It’s worked for years. To fight against them you need the details in this article. Save it, file it, and share it. We have a long way to go to successfully restore the freedoms they have stolen.

Masters of Seduction

For decades many of us have been trying to wake the public up to the machinations of a plethora of our leaders working toward a one-world order controlled by the rich and powerful, to be structured on Marxism/communism.

Understand that for many years, there were dedicated citizens who tried to expose the dangers of the push for communist/Marxist world control. Those on the side of free-market, laissez-faire capitalism, property rights, personal freedoms were ridiculed, blackmailed, and otherwise treated like scum of the earth – so no “civilized” person would be silly enough to believe in their foolish statements against the United Nations, the World Bank, or even Greenpeace. Face it, General McArthur, Joseph McCarthy, General Benton Partin, Paul Harvey were the kind of leaders our great forefathers had been who wrote the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. But these more recent were vilified and driven out of “the right” society.

What those, and others like them have done is to keep some semblance of freedom-supporting/promoting information in front of the masses when possible. Continue reading

Garrison: Cut Off the Funding to Violent Riots

The mega-billionaire George Soros and his son may not be funding the anti-Ice protests directly, but they send money to other projects and organizations that could be. Soros already sent money indirectly to fund the “No Kings” protests. Soros also funded the elections of far-left district attorneys in blue cities across the country. Those DAs let criminals go free to commit more crime including murder. Continue reading

Garrison: What’s That Squeaking Noise? The Republican Congress!

Both Bill and Hillary Clinton refused to comply with the House Oversight Committee’s subpoena that required them to testify about Jeffrey Epstein. It only underlines the hypocrisy of the Democrats, who repeatedly stated ‘nobody is above the law’ as they concocted bogus charges against Trump. The Clintons are above the law. Hillary committed egregious crimes, and her comrade James Comey let her off the hook. Continue reading

Snyder: Perhaps We Should Actually Be Focusing On Fixing America

After years of heading in the wrong direction, nobody can deny that the United States is facing overwhelming problems. So why don’t we focus on fixing those problems first? The truth is that we can’t do everything because our resources are very limited. U.S. households are more than 18 trillion dollars in debt, and the federal government is more than 38 trillion dollars in debt.

Even though we have literally stolen trillions upon trillions of dollars from future generations, our major cities are rapidly decaying, our infrastructure is crumbling, corruption is rampant, the middle class is shrinking, most of the population is struggling to even afford the basics each month, mass layoffs are happening all over the nation, our streets are teeming with hordes of drug addicts and homeless people, large numbers of Americans are selling images of themselves online just to make ends meet, and millions of others are living in their vehicles.

So why don’t we use what limited resources we have to fix our own problems? Continue reading
