Part of MAGA, apparently going back to pre-Truman times before it was changed from US Dept. of War. Might as well call it what it was and face the reality that we're seemingly constantly at war of some type, within and without. Probably should change the name of the FBI and other such orgs and let all within know that the internal war against enemies within is on as well. Come to think of it we should probably rename the USG to reflect that the gov't per Rom13 is for war against evil and praise of good. But then we'd need to establish inviolable standards of good. Seems like a total reorg of the sand box is in order.
Texas Senator Ted Cruz (and in my very speculative opinion a potential Supreme Court Justice in the future) offers a pretty interesting insight into the wider geopolitical moment as well as gets more specfic about the inevitable fall of Satan's isolated cell of darkness in Iran as we have long prayed. God will punish the wicked cult, Iran will be freed, Iran will have a fair shot but also several key unique opportunities to both rebuild and drop their "world pariah" status and become a respected peer nation under the constitutional monarchy or republic whose transition is overseen by the rightful son Pahlavi and whose new international standing can start on a fresh page as an honorary member of the Board of Peace. Praise Jesus.
People like Cruz are an offense to God. There will be no peace. After decades of wars and "peacemaking", trillion$ spent, many US soldiers dead, millions of people dead, US reputation destroyed:
The day is coming when what these people have done will be judged by God, and it will be severe.
- Afghanistan is now run by the Taliban who are more powerful than they've ever been
- Syria is run by Al Qaeda
- Iraq is in ruins
- Libya that once had the highest standard of living in the African continent now openly trades slaves and is torn apart by war
The day is coming when what these people have done will be judged by God, and it will be severe.
The only reason the USA has a bad relationship with Iran and every other place listed is because ..... well we know.
Iran is not ignorant they say what happened in Libya.
Yes, the "full moon thesis" — the idea that a bright full (or near-full) moon would seriously hinder stealth aircraft strikes on Iran by making them more visible or detectable — is largely bogus, especially in the context of modern military aviation like the 2025 Israel-Iran strikes. Here's why it doesn't hold up:
- Stealth technology isn't defeated by visible moonlight. Stealth aircraft (e.g., F-35s, F-22s, B-2 bombers used in the conflict) primarily evade radar detection through low-observable shaping, materials, and tactics. Moonlight affects visual spotting by human eyes or basic optical systems, but that's not how advanced air defenses primarily work against high-speed jets. The U.S. B-2 strikes on June 22, 2025 (Operation Midnight Hammer), went completely undetected by Iranian radar, with no defensive fire despite using decoys and escorts. Israel’s initial June 13 strikes (under ~95% waning gibbous illumination, just after full moon) similarly achieved surprise.
- Modern air defenses rely on radar, IR/thermal, and other sensors — not moonlight. Iran's systems like the Majid short-range air defense use thermal imagers and passive infrared homing on missiles. These detect heat signatures (engine exhaust, etc.), which moonlight has zero impact on — thermal cameras work day or night, in fog, clouds, or bright moonlight. Moonlight might slightly help or hinder basic optical/visible-light cameras, but it's irrelevant for thermal-based detection, which is what matters against fast-moving aircraft.
- Historical and scientific evidence shows moonlight has minimal practical effect on advanced night operations. Studies on night vision and visibility (including military contexts) find that beyond ~50% illumination, extra moonlight doesn't meaningfully change performance for equipped forces. For stealth platforms flying at altitude and speed, ground observers or low-end systems spotting them visually under moonlight is negligible — the real threats are radar and missiles, which stealth counters independently.
The Supreme Court's ruling in Learning Resources, Inc. v. Trump declares that President Trump's global tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) are unlawful, as the Act does not authorize the President to impose such tariffs.
The decision holds that tariffs fall under Congress's core powers and that IEEPA's language to "regulate . . . importation" does not extend to imposing duties or taxes, invoking the major questions doctrine to require clear congressional authorization for actions of vast economic significance.
However, the ruling does not mandate or force refunds of the collected tariffs—estimated at over $175 billion.
The majority opinion is silent on the issue of refunds, focusing solely on the lack of statutory authority for the tariffs themselves.
As noted in Justice Kavanaugh's dissent (joined by Justices Thomas and Alito), the Court "says nothing today about whether, and if so how, the Government should go about returning the billions of dollars that it has collected from importers," warning that any refund process could be a "mess."
Instead, the practical matter of refunds is left to lower courts, where importers (many of whom have already filed lawsuits) may seek repayments through processes like suits in the Court of International
That's why a big part of Pahlavi's Cyrus Accords framework is separating church and State in Iran. You cannot neccessarily purge religion one way or the other, but you can definitely you know not have your state run by a cult whose sole claim of legitimacy is that their leader can do a seance and talk to the dead.
Name me one Muslim nation where the the people are free or the government and religion are separated.
Uzbekistan and Azerbaijan are muslim majority countries (that also are near to or border Iran) but they have separation of church and State principles.
If you're trying to get me to give you the perfect world, I can't give that to you. The choice here is between having an outright cult control your State and making policy decisions based on what a spirit of a dead boy supposedly tells their leader vs. having a relatively 21st century democracy with separation of church and state and a normative technocratic view of governance in a shia majority country. Pick whatever you think sounds better
Neither of those countries are a true democracy and place sever restrictions of free speech or religion.
I agree that Iran is run by a cult, but I do not see where getting Americans killed to try to change it is our responsibility.
They will never have a true democracy.
The cult has already long held a program of killing Americans, they came to power torturing Americans. I should kick their sand castle over just for that. Americans don't have to die in this operation, we can just sit back and rain judgment upon them, and there is not really anything they can do about it, praise Jesus.
