Looking Through The Fog At The Scoreboard

<![CDATA[As President Donald Trump's red line deadline rapidly approached zero hour - 8 pm Eastern time on Tuesday, the cacophony of online and Trump-hating cable network punditry crescendoed to fever pitch. The President goosed the intensity of the commentariat with one social media post promising a most ominous outcome barring an agreement of surrender by remnants of the military junta running the theocratic regime inside the Islamic Republic of Iran. Trump's message? If you don't make a deal that I accept by 8 pm, there will be a civilization-destroying wave of attacks by U.S. and Israeli forces, aided by Sunni Arab states fed up with the rocket and drone strikes raining down on them for the past 39 days. As wild as Trump's message was, the response by the anti-Trump world was even wilder. Whether online influencers, elected Democrats, or media commentators, panic set in that Trump was a madman and had to be impeached today. The 25th Amendment had to be invoked right now before he nuked Iran into oblivion. Of course, neither the President, his foreign policy team, nor anyone at the White House said a thing about nuclear weapons being used. It was just assumed by the left that mushroom clouds over Tehran were a fait accompli, and only removing Trump instantly could prevent it. As our Red State friend Bonchie tweeted very early in the day Tuesday, these same people predicting nuclear Armageddon in what was once Ancient Persia would flip on a dime once the deadline passed and nuclear weapons were not used, or if a deal was reached. Then, seamlessly, they would still criticize him and want to remove Trump for delivering the mother of all TACO's (Trump Always Chickens Out). ]]>
