Bookworm Beat 1/8/20 — the Iran kerfuffle illustrated edition

Posted on January 8, 2020January 8, 2020 by Bookworm

I’ve entitled this illustrated edition the “Iran kerfuffle,” because Trump’s brilliant policies and statesmanship have brought us further from, not closer to, war.

Further thoughts about the situation in Iran

Posted on January 8, 2020January 8, 2020 by Bookworm

I continue to believe that Trump did the right thing vis-a-vis Iran by killing Soleimani, the terrorist, and these are a few random thoughts to explain why. At a base, reflexive level, I’ve gotten to the point at which anything the Democrats are against, I’m for. If they think we

Iran’s Sound & Fury

Posted on January 8, 2020 by Wolf Howling

Iran’s insignificant response to Soleimani’s death shows a weak regime that is looking to Democrats to help it out, but must still deal with Trump. Stuck between a rock and a hard place, Iran had to respond to Trump’s targeting of IRGC General Soleimani. They did so last night by

Pelosi and Proportionality

Posted on January 8, 2020January 8, 2020 by Wolf Howling

While the Democrats keep squawking about proportionality, the facts show that Trump’s targeting Soleimani was proportional to the risks Iran presents. Nancy Pelosi is leading the charge against Trump for targeting IRGC General Qassam Soleimani. This attack is purely political and designed to gather political advantage, irrespective of cost to

Trump sends out a masterful tweet to calm the nation

Posted on January 7, 2020January 7, 2020 by Bookworm

Trump has once again proven himself an effective communicator with a single tweet addressing, and calming, rising concerns about Iran. All is well!

Trump finally talks to America in a Rush Limbaugh interview

Posted on January 7, 2020 by Bookworm

To know what Trump is thinking, spend 20 minutes listening to Trump talking to Rush Limbaugh — or read key excerpts from the interview here. Trump likes to tweet, but the problem with his tweets is that they don’t create a sustained narrative. The tweets are appetizers, not the main

The Award For Media Hyperventilating After The Soleimani Strike Goes To . . .

Posted on January 6, 2020January 6, 2020 by Wolf Howling

In the wake of Trump’s targeting of Iran’s Gen. Soleimani, the MSM seems to be competing among themselves for the most hyperbolic stories. To give them their due: We start with CBS and never-Trumper Mike Morrel for the headline soundbyte: “’There will be dead Americans’ as a result of Iran

The War Powers Act & Congress’s Authorization For Use Of Military Force

Posted on January 5, 2020January 5, 2020 by Wolf Howling

Trump had the authority to target Soleimani based on the two relevant Congressional AUMF’s (Iraq & 9-11) in force. Moreover, Trump has complied with the War Powers Act. I explained in a prior post that the attack authorized by President Trump, targeting the Iranian General Qassem Soleimani and Abu Mahdi

Posted on January 3, 2020January 3, 2020 by Bookworm

This hasn’t been a good week for Iran and the internet meme makers are on it. This is a brilliant collection of other people’s wit, plus a few random things. This one’s not a joke; it’s an insight into the American Left: These next five aren’t clever, they’re very sweet

Trump has shown true leadership with events in Iraq

Posted on January 3, 2020January 3, 2020 by Bookworm

Trump’s brilliant targeted strike against one of the world’s most evil men, while it offended the Left, may help bring down the Mullahs’ rule in Iran. So, let’s have a brief rundown, shall we? On December 27, a rocket attack on an Iraqi military base in Kirkuk, Northern Iraq, killed

The Iran Question & The Lindsey Graham Answer

Posted on September 15, 2019 by Wolf Howling

What is Iran hoping to accomplish with the attack on Saudi oil facilities? And what should be the response? The “mad mullahs” of Iran are the single most destabilizing influence in the Middle East and Iran is the world’s largest sponsor of terrorism. But while the mad mullahs have, since

Wittes Impeachment Trump Derangement Syndrome

Benjamin Wittes and witless logic about Trump

Posted on June 26, 2019June 26, 2019 by Bookworm

The Benjamin Wittes “I believe” tweetstorm about Trump, intended to expose conservative “Doublethink,” instead exposed Leftist irrationality and ignorance. The anti-Trump blogosphere, both Leftists and #NeverTrumpers, is excited about an endless series of tweets from Benjamin Wittes all intended, in a sarcastic way, to challenge Trump and his supporters. Before

On Iran, Trump makes some very smart moves

Posted on June 21, 2019 by Bookworm

When it comes to Iran, Trump is brilliantly locking the country in a box by breaking it financially, frightening its leadership, and courting its people. Although I no longer post any content on my real-me Facebook page, I do check it out regularly. It helps me stay abreast of interesting
