The Big Bang: Iran, From The Axis Of Evil To The Axis Of Sitting Ducks

Within a matter of hours, after 46 years of primarily Progressive appeasement and 1,400 years of unprovoked brutality, butchery, bloodshed, death, and oppression that has been justified, executed, and excused away under the theological veil of Allah, Iran, the Axis of Evil and by extension, its Islamic proxies, the Axis of Resistance, became the Axis of Sitting Ducks after suffering a humiliating defeat on Saturday June 21st, 2025 in, as only President Trump could pull off, a “Fly By” midnight Nuclear pummeling accurately dubbed “Operation Midnight Hammer,” in what was not only a:

1)— Spectacular, bold, and commanding show of personal strength, courage, decisive leadership, and American Military precision, might, and strategic deception.

But also a:

2)— Brilliant and meticulously coordinated targeted air and naval strike that decimated Iran’s three largest and most critically vital nuclear facilities, Natanz, Fordow, and also Isfahan with 14 30,000-pound Bunker Busters (GBU-57s), “the largest bomb known to mankind outside of a nuclear warhead,” dropped by B-2 Bombers from the air, and with 30 U.S. Tomahawk missiles fired from submarines. 

A major military mission that came one week after Israeli forces carried out a large-scale targeted strike, dubbed “Operation Rising Lion” against the Ayatollah’s Regime and its strategic assets that not only resulted in the decimation of key Iranian atomic installations but also wrought with it the welcome demise of at least 20 of Iran’s top military leaders, in addition to a cadre of high-level Iranian nuclear scientists.

Suffice it to say, Operation Midnight Hammer was an unprecedented, exceptionally powerful and necessary nuclear decapitation that was neither a futile exercise in flexing American muscle and might, nor an ego driven refresher course reminding our geopolitical adversaries and our allies alike precisely who yields the balance of power amongst nations, whether militarily, politically, economically, or otherwise, but more importantly, it was about President Trump’s intrinsic need to “stop the killing," to end the senseless slaughter of innocents, and for once and for all, to terminate Iran’s insidious reign of terror in order to make way for the “Axis of Hope.”

It was about President Trump’s Global “Peace through Strength” initiative, or, moreover, his battle for the soul and future of the “Free World.” 

A military mission that as a result has made the world a much safer place today than it was eleven days ago because, President Trump, objectively, a force to be reckoned with, a one-of-a-kind President’s President who, unlike any other leader we have seen, perhaps, not even since our Nation’s founding, had the intestinal fortitude to make the hard call, to do what needed to be done, to do what he repeatedly promised he would do, both in Office and on the Campaign Trail—ensure that Iran NEVER GOT THEIR HANDS ON A NUCLEAR WEAPON. 

A genuine bona fide pledge that other Presidents who have come and gone before him invariably vowed to fulfill on their word or “Political honor” —(which, of course, is about as trustworthy as a broken compass)— if we elected them, but then, in the true spirit of an empty feel-good campaign slogan, never did do once they were in the coveted Oval Office. 

Say for, to proffer up the predictable, theatrical toothless warnings, and imaginary “Red Lines” that our enemies not only consistently but also arbitrarily crossed at the perilous risk of suffering an ouch-less slap on the wrist from Obama or Biden, a stern-less “Don't” do it again scolding, and crates of cash to export terror and kill Americans in perpetuity for a wink and a nod promise not to do it again. With, no less, an added bonus thrown in for good “Hug a Terrorist” measure—you know, five or more of their prisoners in exchange for one of ours, and six more months of kicking the can down the road, in a habitually uncomprimising game of failed diplomatic negotiations, otherwise referred to as stalling. 

Until, of course, it was time to lather, rinse, and repeat. 

At which point, Iran once again crossed the “Red Line” agreement of nonproliferation purported compliance, into the “We got caught” proliferating noncompliance. For yet another slap on the wrist, another pathetic “Don't” do it again wag of the finger, and billions more in taxpayer dollars to continue funding, facilitating, and fortifying their malign activities, such as:

1)— Training jihadists. 

2)— Expanding and reinforcing their global network of terror. 

3)— Supplying weapons, munitions, ammunition, and equipment to Terrorist Organizations like Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon, and the Houthis in Yemen. Including countless militias in Syria and Iraq, amongst other extremist groups stationed in the Middle East and around the world.

And last but not least:

4)— Enriching uranium in Iran’s race toward Nuclear Power, weapons, and bombs that the Islamic Republic has ostensively spent decades building and amassing in order to annihilate and wipe us, the Big Satan, America, and also Israel, the Little Satan, off the face of the planet.

All, of course, as I iterated above, authorized, sponsored, and made possible by DC’s cacophony of Communist Capitulators, Marxist Manipulators, Socialist Snakes, Parasitic Progressive Propagandists, Left-wing Liars, or more politely put, partisan Poobah Presidents, such as:

Bill Clinton: "We are determined  to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons." (1995)

Barack Obama: "I have stated that Iran will never be allowed to obtain a nuclear weapon." (2015)

Joe Biden: "We will not allow Iran to acquire a nuclear weapon." (2022)

However, conversely, on the Patriots, Promises Made, Promises Kept, side of the political divide:

President Donald J. Trump: "Iran's key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated.... Thank you for your attention to this matter." (2025).

Indeed, in a matter of hours, President Trump not only: 

1)— Wiped out Iran’s nuclear sites, effectively neutering their nuclear capabilities, and hence severely crippling their nuclear ambitions, if not completely eliminating their ability and capacity to continue both strategically and financially supporting and facilitating their nuclear program and reign of terror on and against the entire civilized world.

2)—Delivered a stark message across enemy lines. A warning that no doubt immediately reverberated far beyond the Middle East and the Iranian—Israeli conflict. Letting all our adversaries know that America is back, that their malign activities and aggression against our allies and, ultimately, by proxy, against the United States would no longer be tolerated, and would be met with swift, overwhelming, lethal force if need be.

3)— Put the world on notice, making it clear that American guts, grit, and glory have been restored to the White House. That he, President Trump, is a man of his word, a President of action who is not to be tested or trifled with, who says what he means and does what he says.

But he also:

4)— Demonstrated, in what will be long remembered as quite literally an explosive time and turning point in our Nation’s history towards world peace and prosperity, that an American First agenda not only means a safer and more prosperous America for Americans but it also makes for a safer and more prosperous world for the global population.

In fact, truth be told, as a direct result of Operation Midnight Hammer, President Trump has saved untold countless lives from what would have surely been an ill-fated, barbaric death at the bloodstained hands, feet, and blade of the Iranian Regime and their extremist proxies. 

Unquestionably, a military feat that as a matter of moral principle and by all good and deserving standards, should and would under normal circumstances earn President Trump the coveted Noble Peace Prize if, of course, his first name weren’t Donald and his last name weren’t Trump —(the bureaucratic Deep State and DC’s Democrat Establishment would never allow it… so much for “No-Kings.”)— but I digress.

Nevertheless, when you harken back to President Trump’s first term, to all that he managed to accomplish in just four short years, or, moreover, three years due to China’s questionable, untimely deliverance of Covid, it truly is remarkable what one man with the Patriotic spirit and heart of an American “Freedom Fighter” can accomplish. Not only in terms of our economy, energy Independence, record-setting low to no inflation rates, and lest we forget, lifting people up and out of Government-dependent poverty and into gainful employment, careers, and a brighter future, amongst other MAGA things, but also with regard to brokering the Abraham Accords. 

A series of Middle Eastern Peace deals that have not only brought Israel and other Arab Muslim Nations together for the sake of peace, prosperity, and the better good of mankind, but that no one thought possible, particularly after decades of theological hatred, tension, the bloodstained sands from holy wars, and failed diplomatic negotiations and deals in the region.

And then, of course, when you look at what President Trump has been able to achieve barely five months into this, his second term. Not only hammering out and brokering peace deals between the Congo and Rwanda, and between Pakistan and India, two nuclear powers, but also by devastating Iran’s Nuclear program and threat, making the world a safer place writ large, you quickly come to the realization that Trump is not only a warrior amongst warriors, unafraid  to take a bullet, to face off against tyrants both at home and abroad, and to challenge conventional wisdom and established political norms, but you also come to the realization that he truly is a master, if not a genius in the “Art of the Deal.”

And no matter how many which ways to Sunday Democrats try and fail to diminish and demonize his accomplishments, Peace through Strength, America First policies, and populist nationalist movement, the fact will forever remain that President Trump, unlike any other President, at least in modern history or any of our lifetimes, has managed to make the impossible possible, to make the inconceivable conceivable, and to prove the Progressive naysayers wrong.

However, that said, one would have thought that after Operation Midnight Hammer, an impressively successful, overwhelming victory for world peace  —(with no boots on the ground, with no American casualties sustained, and with no leaks to the media—prior to the strike—and by proxy to the Iranian Regime tipping them off, with nothing but a catastrophic blow to Irans Nuclear program)—  that everyone in Washington would have, at least for half a millisecond, put their pitchforks down and shown even just a modicum of gratitude, elation, and relief that the world’s number one State sponsor of terrorism had been neutered. 

You know, score one for the home team, for actual bona fide world peace, rather than the usual ad nauseam, symbolic or theatrical virtue signaling, flag waving gesture for votes that Democrats feel compelled to shove in our faces and down our throats every time tragedy hits or war breaks out... however, only during an election cycle.

No, instead of giving credit where credit is clearly due, our Nation’s purported Progressive or, moreover, Regressive Party of professional propagandists has instead opted to side with the Iranian Regime, a cult of murderous tyrants, not only falsely claiming that:

1)— It was somehow illegal for America to target, strike, and eliminate Iran’s Nuclear sites and arsenal. Implying that we should have, in point of fact, stood idly by and allowed Iran to continue its illicit and accelerated enrichment of uranium at a rate equivalent to roughly one nuclear weapon per month in their quest to develop nuclear bombs to use against the United States. 

But also that: 

2)— By ordering Operation Midnight Hammer, President Trump had “Declared War” on Iran and was therefore getting the United States enmeshed in another endless war without Congressional approval in “GRAVE” violation of the Constitution and therefore —( at least, according to the other Dim Bulb of DC, Alexandria Occasional Cortex, the pseudo Constitutional Scholar, who is about as constitutionally literate as a Communist on crack)— was subject to, you guessed it, “Impeachment,” in yet another day, another dollar, another week, and another "Get Trump" call for impeachment from the Democrats… 

What’s new?

The truth is, President Trump neither violated the Constitution nor any other law, for that matter, gravely or otherwise.

You see, as it goes, under the War Powers Resolution of 1973, not only is the United States President permitted to use Military action or force in order to protect American National Security Interests from an imminent foreign threat, but the Resolution also gives him 60 days to carry out targeted strikes like “Operation Midnight Hammer” with 30 days to wind down without seeking any Congressional approval or a “Declaration of War.”

The only requirement is that the President inform—not seek approval, but notify—Congress within 48 hours of deploying American troops if a formal declaration of war has not or is not being sought, which he, of course, did do, as evidenced by White House call-logs irrespective of the Progressive Propagandists lies, you know, the deliberate dissemination of disinformation, misinformation, and/or malinformation, to the contrary.  

Republican House and Senate Majority Leaders took the notification calls; however, Democrat House Minority Leader Congressman Hakeem Jeffries and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer couldn’t be bothered to take the calls from the White House. 

That is on them, not President Trump… but I digress, again.

Needless to say, given Iran’s malign activities: 

1)— Their failure to cooperate and comply in good faith with the nonproliferation nuclear agreement negotiations, as they simultaneously chant and paint “Death to America” on their missiles during training exercises.

2)— Their recent, or, moreover, their incessant terrorist threats on and against the Homeland.

Not to mention the undeniable evidence, as pointed out by experts, that Iran:

3)— Harbored Radical Islamic fugitives involved in plotting and planning the 9/11 Terrorist Attack on our Nation. 

4)— Obtained and trained the 9/11 hijackers on Boeing 757-767-777 flight simulators. 

Is: 

5)— Responsible for the murder of well over 1000 American soldiers in both Iraq and Afghanistan, paying Taliban fighters $1,000 per U.S. soldier they killed. An inconvenient factoid that Democrats have all but conveniently forgotten because they were or are too busy playing the victim, rioting, and burning the American flag for perceived or delusional injustices that they most definitely have not and are not suffering 

And amongst other acts of war, have also been:

6)— Seizing and attacking American merchant and Naval ships in the Red Sea vis-a-vis their Yemeni terrorist proxies, the Houthis. 

And the LIST of Iranian attacks and threats on and against America goes on and on and on…

A list of past and present acts of war and threats that, with no “statute of limitations,” not only gives President Trump:

1)— The Constitutional authority as required by his Oath of Office to preserve, protect, and defend the United States against ALL enemies, both FOREIGN and Domestic.

But also:

2)— Under the War Powers Resolution of 1973 to bomb the shit out of Iran in retaliation for not only past Acts of War against the United States, but also to neuter them against any present or imminent and likely future attacks on or against the Homeland and her assets which includes one hair on one head of one or more American Nationals stationed or living at home or abroad. 

Oddly enough, to name but one of the many examples that I could cite, the following one, in particular, should ring a bell, even for the most atrophied brains out there. Unless, of course, you’re one of those Democrats who suffer from the occasional bout of selective amnesia. In which case, the ensuing reminder is appropriately warranted. 

In 2011 Barack Obama, the Democrats Black Deity, ordered and carried out military strikes strikes Libya in order to take out Moammar Gadhafi before he, Obama, callously betrayed and ABANDONED Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other American heroes, Tyrone Woods, Glen Doherty, and Sean Smith, who were hunted down by Radical Islamic Terrorists who tortured, butchered and slaughtered them before their dead bodies were dragged through the streets of BENGHAZI September 11th 2012… 

Does that ring a bell, you know, 13 hours, anyone?

 If not, you can click on the link to read the Select Committee’s Report on “The Events Surrounding the 2012 Terrorist Attack in Benghazi.” 

Benghazi was or is considered thee most shameful and contemptible Presidential betrayal and abandonment of Americans in our Nation’s history. An egregious dereliction of Obama’s duty as the Commander in Chief that was further compounded by the fact that he justified his trade of five Taliban Generals for one American deserter, Bowe Bergdahl, by stating, “Americans don’t leave their countrymen on the battlefield,” which is precisely what he did to Americans in Benghazi.

So, how about Democrats wipe the blood of Benghazi off their hands before they dare lecture President Trump and Republicans on the Constitution that we Conservatives respect and cherish? 

On a side note: Just curious, did any Democrats call for Obama's impeachment and prosecution after the Libyan strikes or after the Benghazi bloodbath?

Of course not!—He is their Messiah.

So bearing the aforementioned Progressive hypocrisy in mind, Democrats can squeal and scream like whiney little Veruca Salts, lying and falsely claiming that President Trump violated the Constitution and the War Powers Resolution of 1973 until they are blue in the face, but no matter how obnoxiously loud they protest in all their nauseating, theatrical piety to their Constitutionally illiterate base of bootlickers, it still does not and will not ever magically make their lies, truths.

The fact is and will forever remains that Iran’s Nuclear ambitions, program, and facilities were unequivocally a clear, present, and imminent grave threat to the United States, the Homeland, our National Security Interests, and the American people, including our allies, particularly given their proximity to Nuclear Weapons that, with a high degree of certainty, Iran, as per their barrage of malevolent threats made against the United States, fully intended to use on and against the U.S., Israel, and elsewhere. 

The notional belief that Democrats continue to propagate, that it is possible to achieve peace, to end Irans brutal reign of terror through diplomatic channels, by sending Iran billions of taxpayer dollars on the condition that they stop building nuclear weapons and funding terrorist groups and activities whilst, no less, they continue enriching uranium to build nuclear weapons in hidden facilities, buried 300 feet beneath a mountain whilst also continuing to fund terrorist groups like Hamas and terrorist attacks like October 7th with, no less, our tax dollars, is just that, a notional silly belief. 

It is not only laughable on its face, but it takes a special kind of stupid to believe that you can. 

And why?

Well, because we are not dealing with logical people here, rather we are dealing with theological religious madmen whose only desire and objective is to annihilate the Great Satan, America, and the Little Satan, Israel. Our destruction is embedded in their DNA.

The only “GRAVE” violation of the Constitution, whether Presidential under Article II, S1, C8, or Congressional under Article VI, C3, would be to allow the Iranian Regime, a brutal, authoritarian dictatorship, to acquire a nuclear weapon to use against America and Americans. 

Americans owe a debt of gratitude to our Military heroes, the bravest of the brave, who executed this flawless Military mission, and also to President Trump, who had the courage of his convictions to act for the greater good.

Words matter, but actions, real tangible results, matter much more. That is what separates truly great leaders from the rest of the pack. That is why President Trump was elected to lead our Nation at this pivotal and defining do-or-die moment in our Nation’s history. 

President Trump is the President we need, deserve, and must trust.
