War and Peaceniks

As expected, the far-left in politics and Hollywood have spoken out against the United States attacks on Iran. New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani tweeted, “Today’s military strikes on Iran — carried out by the United States and Israel — mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians.” Stephen King called to “impeach the SOB [Trump]” over these military operations. Actress Mia Farrow wrote, “Mad man in the WH [White House] / Impeach Trump.” Actor John Cusack dubbed the military strikes “a wag the dog war – to distract from Epstein and to do Netenyahu’s bidding.” Jane Fonda called Trump’s actions in Iran “dangerous and insane” and an “unprovoked” war, and then she jumped on a plane to Lebanon and was filmed cavorting with terrorists as she wore a suicide vest. (That is a joke, but that is the equivalent of what she did during the Vietnam war)

These people have collectively denounced the bombing of Iran and the killing of Ayatollah Ali Khomenie, just as they denounced the arrest of Nicholas Maduro, just as they denounced the bombing of Iran’s nuclear facilities, just as they denounced the arrest and deportation of violent murderers and rapists from our country, just as they denounced the killing of Hamas terrorists in the Gaza Strip, just as they denounced the deportation of an MS-13 gang member.

You show want you are for by telling us what you are against. For the record, the left wants a brutal dictator running Iran and sponsoring worldwide terrorism; they want a narco-terrorist running Venezuela poisoning Americans with fentanyl and cozying up to China and Iran; they want Iran to have nuclear weapons[ they want MS-13 gang members and criminal alien rapists and murderers walking our streets attacking American citizens; they want Hamas committing acts of terror against Israel.

These people want a President like Barack Obama who bombed 8 countries and started 5 wars, but they did not say anything because he was smooth and suave, and was very articulate when giving a speech. That’s essentially what it all comes down to with these people – window dressing. That’s what they are all about. The Hollywood elite’s lives are a facade. That’s what they do for a living. That’s what gets them millions of dollars and gold statues – living a façade, pretending to be someone they are not. And for many of them, they complete their facade by taking political stands, wearing pins, reciting slogans, pretending to be courageous by making a pre-approved political statement in front of a like-minded audience. It’s all window dressing.

Obama was the epitome of window dressing. The outward appearance was magnificent. He may have been the most “presidential” President that we have ever had. But that’s all he was – a nice suit and a well-articulated empty speech. He said a lot of nothing beautifully. And that’s why the Hollywood crowd loved him. He was a beautiful nothing, just like they are. But behind that facade, there was no depth. There was nothing.

Donald J Trump is the exact opposite. He is not attractive; he is not articulate; the window dressing is hard to look at some times. He says a lot of crude, rude and even mean things at times. And if you only care about the surface, the outward appearance, you will hate Donald Trump. Every person who has been infected by TDS – Trump derangement syndrome – have exposed themselves. They are admitting that they only care about the surface, the outward appearance.

Donald Trump is literally making the world a safer place with his foreign policy, and our country a safer place with his domestic policy, but since it is messy, it is painful, it has to be implemented with brute force, it’s hard to look at some times, and that is what the Hollywood elite and the peaceniks despise, the ugliness of it. They only want beautiful nothings.

But none of what is being accomplished whether it is liberating millions of people in Venezuela and Iran, or cutting fentanyl deaths in this country by half, or reducing the murder rate to a 125-year low, or making the world a safe place from crazed madmen, could be achieved simply by smoothly delivering a well-written speech. You need depth, not surface to accomplish great things. You need action. You need to be willing to roll up your sleeves and get your hands dirty or bloody to liberate people or protect people. You have to be willing to be disliked and brutally criticized. And Donald Trump has been willing to do both because he understands that what he is doing is not about him, it’s about our country, it’s about our world. They are both better off because of Donald J Trump. He is willing to be the bad guy to the Hollywood elite because our country and our world is better for it.
