The Iranian forever war: while many “experts” worry about President Trump getting us into a “forever war” with Iran the reality is that we have been in a forever war with Iran since 1979 when they seized the American Embassy, held 66 diplomats hostage for 444 days and began chanting “Death to America” while describing the United States as “the Great Satan.” Matt Turpin on substack outlined the history of the Iranian war against the United States: “Over the past five decades, the Islamic Republic of Iran and its proxies killed over a thousand Americans.
“There was the truck bombing of the U.S. Marine Barracks in Beirut and killing of 241 American service members on October 23, 1983, the deadliest day for the USMC since Iwo Jima. Those Marines were there as a part of a multinational force that was meant to provide peace and stability during the Lebanese Civil War as Iran sought to use Hezbollah to destabilize the country and the rest of the Arab world, spread its Islamic Revolution, and attack Israel.
In March 1984, Iran’s Hezbollah kidnapped, tortured and killed CIA Station Chief William Buckley on his way to work in Beirut and six months later conducted a car bomb attack killing 23, including two U.S. service members, at the U.S. Embassy annex in Beirut.
“In December 1984, they hijacked a Kuwait Airlines flight to Pakistan and tortured and killed two U.S. government officials on the flight.
In June 1985, they hijacked a TWA flight from Athens to Rome, found a U.S. Navy diver on the flight, tortured him, then shot him in the back of the head and tossed his body on the tarmac in Beirut.
In December 1989, they killed U.S. Marine Colonel William Higgins after torturing him for a year. He had been serving on the United Nations peacekeeping force in Lebanon, a mission authorized by the United Nations Security Council.
In April 1995, Iran used their other proxy group, Islamic Jihad to conduct a car bomb attack in the Gaza Strip which killed eight, including one American who was likely the target.
In 1995 and 1996, Iran conducted a number of attacks in Israel targeting Americans and Israelis resulting in seven Americans killed and more than 100 wounded.
Iran used Hezbollah again in 1995 and 1996 to conduct attacks against American service members in Saudi Arabia, killing six in a car bombing in November 1995 and another 19 at Khobar Towers in June 1996.
In August 1998, Iran and Hezbollah assisted Al-Qaeda suicide bombers in simultaneously attacking two U.S. Embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, killing 224 people including 12 Americans.
Between 2001 and 2003, Iran and its proxies killed another 13 Americans in Israel.
During the Iraq War, Iran was linked to killing at least 600 U.S. troops. This was roughly one in every six fatalities in Iraq.
One attack was January 2007, when a dozen men from Iran’s IRGC Quds Force disguised themselves as U.S. soldiers and entered the Provincial Joint Coordination Center in Karbala and killed five U.S. soldiers and wounded three others.”
Let’s be clear President Trump is trying to END the 47 year long forever war and forced Iran into peaceful policies. Those who favor being soft on the religious dictatorship are in fact perpetuating the forever war not ending it.
If this happens, it’s game over..
🚨 The Supreme Court appears in Favor of establishing a uniform NATIONAL ELECTION DAY
This would require ALL ballots for federal elections to be both cast and received by THAT DAY, potentially invalidating state laws that allow mail-in ballots postmarked by Election Day to be counted days after.
Pray for this to happen.
We NEED this to happen.

The Pope visited Algeria mosque today.
Taking his shoes off to wander around.
Algeria was a Christian nation until Islam conquered through force, just like Europe now.
Christians have no rights now there.
Pope Leo hasn't even bothered visiting suffering Nigerian Christians.
To uphold the rule of law, our state must operate under one legal system, the Constitution must remain the law of the land, and we must defend our institutions from those who would harm us—especially terrorist organizations that seek to infiltrate and subvert our education system.
HB 1471 reinforces these principles in Florida, and I was proud to sign it into law today.
Iran will hang women and children to send a message in Iran.
The United States will blow up $300 Million in assets to get our guy back.
See the difference.
Until recently, Hamideh Soleimani Afshar and her daughter were green card holders living lavishly in the United States.
Afshar is the niece of deceased Iranian Major General Qasem Soleimani. She is also an outspoken supporter of the Iranian regime who celebrated attacks on Americans and referred to our country as the "Great Satan."
This week, I terminated both Afshar and her daughter's legal status and they are now in ICE custody, pending removal from the United States.
The Trump Administration will not allow our country to become a home for foreign nationals who support anti-American terrorist regimes.
BREAKING🚨: The Artemis II astronauts will go through the most tense moment of the mission on April 6, 2026. This is the highlight of the entire mission. The Orion will pass between 6,400 and 9,600 kilometers above the lunar surface.
But there's a detail that makes this moment even more intense: as it passes over the far side of the Moon, the spacecraft will lose communication with Earth for about 30 to 50 minutes, blocked by the Moon itself.
"For the 45 minutes when we'll be closest to the lunar surface, we'll also be out of contact," said Victor Glover, the mission's pilot. "I'd love for the whole world to be cheering and praying for us to reestablish the signal."
During that time, the astronauts will photograph and observe regions of the Moon's far side that have never been seen by human eyes.
The crew will also attempt to capture new images of the so-called Earthrise, the planet emerging over the desolate lunar surface.
@LCal60 Many speakers and pastors have their speeches written.
Paul writes in Philippians 1:18 “But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice.
Yes, and I will continue to rejoice”
There are people in our country claiming to be Christians and openly stating a Christian could never endorse President Trump. I have not heard a President in my lifetime present as clearly the Good News of The Gospel as Trump does here. This message I emphatically endorse.
PRESIDENT TRUMP PREACHES THE GOSPEL
On Good Friday, the Son of God was nailed to the cross, crucified, and he died. For all of us, it was a day of darkness, but it wasn't the end. By any means, it was not the end. On Easter Sunday, the stone was rolled away and the grave was empty. Christians everywhere rejoiced, and we continue to rejoice. Easter is one of the incredible days. It was the miracle in all of history, the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It was one of the great... It was the great miracle, I guess, right? The great miracle. He told his followers, "I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Because of the events of Holy Week twenty centuries ago, people from every nation, language, and background can take on any difficulty, press through any trial, and endure any hardship. With Christ, not one thing can separate humanity from the powers of God's everlasting love.
Anyone who has not invested the time to understand the objectives of this war must listen to these 2 minutes. Every President and Congress has agreed with Marco Rubio for the last 30 years.
🚨 BREAKING: Sec. Marco Rubio just dropped TRUTH NUKES on the doubters for two minutes straight, and he said it perfectly
He's so good at this.
"Under NO circumstances can a country run by radical Shia clerics with an apocalyptic vision of the future ever possess nuclear weapons, and under no circumstances can they be allowed to hide and protect that program and their ambitions behind a shield of missiles and drones that no one can do anything about!"
"Many Americans are asking, why did the United States have to attack Iran now? Well, let me EXPLAIN."
"Iran wants to have nuclear weapons...they build their reactors and their facilities deep in mountains, away from the public glare, and they want to enrich that material."
"Why the attack now? Well, what was Iran trying to do? Iran was trying to build a conventional shield, in essence, have so many missiles, have so many drones, that no one could attack them, and they were well on their way."
"We were on the verge of an Iran that had so many missiles and so many drones, that no one could do anything about their nuclear weapons program in the future. That was an intolerable risk."
"This was our LAST best chance to eliminate that conventional threat, that conventional shield that they were trying to build, and the president made the right decision to wipe it out now."
"That is the goal of this operation, to destroy their conventional missiles and their drone program so they can't hide behind it, and finally have to deal with a world seriously about never ever having nuclear weapons."
WELL SAID, MARCO 🇺🇸
Holy Week begins with President Trump sharing the Gospel.
He posted the letter written to him by @Franklin_Graham declaring that Jesus is the only way to Heaven.
We have never had a President so pro-faith.
Victor Davis Hansen gives a brutal rundown of Newsom's history and how he has destroyed California
- Never had a private job that he got on his own
- A creation of the Getty family and his well-connected parents
- Been in office for 30 years
- Overseen disastrous programs like the high-speed rail project
- High-speed rail originally forecasted at $40 billion, now approaching $40 billion with zero track laid
- High-speed rail will likely never extend beyond Bakersfield to Merced and will lose money every year
- Continued pouring billions into the failing high-speed rail while neglecting critical freeways
- Pushed a green agenda, yet the Monterey battery storage plant has blown up twice
- Oversaw a $2 billion solar plant in the Mojave Desert that was inefficient, harmful to wildlife, and ultimately dismantled
- Fought the federal government to block expansion of California’s oil and gas production (despite California having the 5th highest reserves in the U.S.)
- Relies on imported oil mostly from Saudi Arabia and a special gas blend from Japan
- Driven out two refineries, leading to expected gas prices of $7–$9 per gallon this summer
@VDHanson "That's who wants to be the President of the United States and that's who wants to do for the United States what he did for California.
Beware."
