A War Reduced to Political Stunts


As the IRGC wishes everyone a good night's sleep - let me recap the news.  Actually, they sent all of us their "best wishes" from Tehran tonight.




Well, lemme see.  With very little effort, Iran managed to pull off a soft mission kill on "Operation Freedom".  Not many ships were willing to risk escort under fire.  The UAE certainly is not in the mood to be targeted again.  So in less than three days after the announcement of "Operation Freedom", the mission has been scrapped.  But we are now being told that Iran has decided to give up their enriched uranium.  I will bet the life of my firstborn son that Iran will never agree to the aforementioned.

This is a war reduced to political stunts. And it seems clear that Iran is not about to give up anything and they certainly don't give a shit.  Gleefully clapping them on the shoulder, is China.  Why not?  Iran is a pivotal node for China's Belt and Road Project.  And to allow the U.S. dominance across the Persian Gulf places a garrote around the neck of China's ambitions.  So naturally,  Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has scuttled off to Beijing today to meet with his counterpart.


But back to the topic of our negotiations with Iran:

Sensitive negotiations should be inscrutable to the general public.  And hell - they should be inscrutable for anyone with less than a top secret clearance.  If you don't have the rank, you don't have the right to know.  It really is that simple.

Every single time President Trump shoots himself in the foot, Tehran responds with a drive-by shooting.  We get more LEGO movies and images of Ghalibaf telling us to go screw ourselves.  I have never... ever.. experienced such nonsense and it is embarrassing. Every day, the White House delivers more "party hat news".  And then Iran takes away the party favors.  I know the average public are gullible "Sheeple" - but I am becoming quite the goat.




Actually - this is what Ghalibaf said today:

"We must all recognize that we are engaged in one of IRAN’s greatest contemporary battles and achieving ultimate victory in this struggle will make IRAN an influential player in the international system Reaching this significant accomplishment comes with its challenges."

If nothing else - somebody needs to take away our POTUS access to "Truth Social".

Charlie Kirk Marcus Aurelius "Meditations" would not exist if he had been assassinated for his thoughts at age thirty-one. I would have never read Alexander Solzhenitsyn's "Gulag Archipelago" if he had been assassinated for his political thoughts at thirty-one years of age. Winston Churchill would have never written "Hinge of Fate" (one of my favorite selections) had he been assassinated at thirty-one years of age. Ernest Hemingway was fifty-three years old when "The Old Man and the Sea" was published. Leon Uris was thirty-four years old when his novel "Exodus" was published. The average age of the delegates at the 1787 Constitutional Convention was forty-two.  Benjamin Franklin was 81 years of age at this time. The famous Persian poet Ferdowsi began writing "Shahnameh" when he was 37 years old and did not complete it until he was about seventy years of age.  This would be a tremendous loss not to have access to his though...

Mohamed Elhassan He is powerful, made up of imperceptible layers.  He was only in his mid-teens when he first heeded the call to political action traveling to the Republic Palace of President Jafar Nimeiri seeking justice for his family. He is a well-respected Sufi.  In June,  he was awarded a Masters Degree in Islamic Studies from Hamad Bin Khalifa University (Qatar).  A recognized leader of the Kwahla tribe - with 16 million members.   Fast forward to 2010 and 2015 when he ran for President of the Sudan.  In 2015, it was my privilege to serve in a minor advisory role.  In recent years, he has given an enviable one hundred interviews with Al Jazeera Mobasha (life).   His name is Mohamed Elhassan.  I merely call him "friend". Mohamed Elhassan is president of the Sudanese Gathering Accord.  He is a man who knows his business, takes care of his business, and more importantly, takes care of his people. Less than a month ago he tra...

State of the Union:  Live Blogging Tammy and Blackfoot will begin live blogging shortly.  Grab your favorite drink and your BINGO cards and get ready to settle in for two hours of our POTUS speaking at SOTU.  We hope to keep this fun! https://opinionbytammy.blogspot.com/2026/02/state-of-union-bingo-cards.html __________________ Here we go, gang! "Gang" in the friendly family way, not in the Tren de Aragua way. President Trump and Mrs. Trump have left the White House and are on their way to the Capitol. I'm sure these past few days have been chock full of leafing through journals and diaries, and holding meetings with the inner circle for messaging strategies. Regardless of how much input his team gives him, we can always rely on our POTUS to not mince words, to lay the facts on the table and give us straight talk. Recently saw Newsom talking about Trump being an actor, and that he's a different person in different situations. Once again, Gavin is projecting his weakne...
