Under pressure from Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the Trump administration may be within days of launching a nuclear strike on Iran. The target would be Pickax Mountain in central Iran, where Israeli intelligence claims the Iranian government has restarted its nuclear enrichment program. No conventional weapon in the American arsenal can penetrate 300 feet of solid granite to destroy the tunnels where enrichment is supposedly taking place. The only military option is a nuclear strike. Netanyahu has been pushing hard for one. “Bibi calls Trump about it every day,” says an informed observer.
Netanyahu is cornered and desperate. After last week’s election results, he can’t form a government unless Trump intervenes directly in Israeli politics and brokers a deal with other parties that gives Netanyahu 61 seats in the Knesset. Otherwise, he is out as prime minister and on his way to ignominy, investigations and possibly jail. Netanyahu must stay close to Trump. He needs this war.
To that end, he’s applied maximum pressure to his closest allies in the administration, including Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and CENTCOM commander Brad Cooper. Both oppose a negotiated settlement to the war they’ve so grievously mismanaged; both are pushing to restart major combat operations. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and CIA director John Ratcliffe are also following Netanyahu’s lead, as are leaders of the Democratic Party. In a recent meeting on the subject, former president Barack Obama said he opposes the current Iran peace deal being drafted in Doha.
The rest of America’s longtime allies in the Middle East are terrified by the prospect of more war. On September 27th, Netanyahu flew secretly to Abu Dhabi to enlist the UAE in his lobbying effort for a final attack on Iran. The Emiratis refused. After eight months of conflict, Gulf economies are teetering. So are global energy and fertilizer markets. They won’t recover soon. Globally, there are a total of about 850 supertankers used to transport oil from producers to the rest of the world. In October alone, 11 of them were badly damaged in Hormuz. At this pace, a global depression is imminent. A nuclear strike would radically accelerate the destruction. Fallout from a ground explosion at Pickax Mountain would contaminate the Persian Gulf, poisoning the water supply for 100 million people.
And those are just some of the immediate consequences for the region. The rest of the world is every bit as exposed. No country other than the United States has ever used a nuclear weapon in war. Some would like to. An American nuclear attack on Iran would set a new precedent. The Russians have already told at least two other governments that an American nuclear strike on Iran would free them to use nuclear weapons against Ukraine. Pakistan and India would be tempted to do the same against each other, as would North Korea against Seoul. After the first nuclear strike, World War Three is inevitable. That war would be short and final.
We’ve been sleepwalking toward this moment for months. Since February, the administration has quietly rewritten America’s nuclear doctrine to make first use of so-called “battlefield nukes” easier and therefore more likely. No one in Washington in either party seems bothered by this. Now we’re on the brink of it.
Close observers say Trump is likely to decide by next weekend whether or not to use nuclear weapons. That would be November 7, six days from now. To his credit, he’s hesitating. At the moment, Trump is listening to his vice president, JD Vance, and to his envoy and friend Steve Witkoff, both of whom argue a deal with Iran can be made.
They’re right, though it won’t be simple. The Iranians are famously frustrating to negotiate with under any circumstances, and elements of that government have become more radical since Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and his family were killed in February. After decades of isolation, even relatively moderate Iranian leaders seem confused by how decisions are made in the West. (There is a widespread belief in Tehran, for example, that the United States government controls Israel.) But overall, people who have spoken to decision-makers in Iran say there is consensus there that more war is bad for everyone and a deal is worth making.
One group that hasn’t been consulted so far is the global population — the hundreds of millions of people who will be killed along with their children if Trump is pushed by Netanyahu into launching a nuclear strike next week. Now would be the time for them to speak up.
The little boy sneaked into the destroyed house of his family and could get a bag of flour stored there before the famine, but the Israeli occupation forces were not happy with him.. So that, they sniped him..
Oh he sent me an email, I think I’ll respond.
So yes, actually you did do something wrong President Trump, let’s first start with your broken campaign promises.
You protected your pedophile rapists friends instead of women who were raped when they were just teenage girls and you STILL REFUSE to release the Epstein files.
You started an unprovoked war with Iran that the vast majority of Americans do NOT support. You killed hundreds of children at a school in Iran and innocent people and are responsible for 21 U.S. service members deaths and 865 wounded. Your stupid war that you claim you have won like 50 times has destroyed our bases in the Middle East and hundreds of billions of dollars worth of military equipment and weapons, while depleting our weapons and ammunitions.
You are supporting, funding, and aiding genocide in Gaza that has resulted in approximately 22,000 children murdered, thousands of children with amputations, and over 70,000 orphans. And your so called Board of “Peace” has done nothing to stop war and is planning to oversee the very profitable reconstruction and take over of Gaza. One can only guess who all will get those blood money contracts, the Epstein class and associates.
And let’s talk about the basics that every single US president is supposed to guarantee to its citizens. Affordable cost of living and affordable fuel in which you have 100% failed to deliver and actually driven inflation and irresponsibly driven the cost of gasoline and diesel to record high levels.
So did you do something wrong?
Yes in summary, YOU are the snake that you warned us all about in the poem you read over and over.
You never cared about putting America first or making America great again.
You are the deep state, the Epstein class, and America last.
And my mistake was supporting you in the first place.
I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.
I’d like to address a few things.
First, thank you to everyone who supported me.
For the retards who said I didn’t run a real campaign:
Randy Fine himself says we outspent him 5-to-1.
We mailed 200,000+ voters, sent millions of texts, spent over $1 million on TV, and had a ground team knocking 2,000 doors a day for months.
Most people know nothing about campaigning. They think 100-person rallies and social media posts are what move the needle. They aren’t.
Fishback raised only $300K, did no mail, no TV, and ended up with less than HALF the votes Casey Putsch received.
Now, the results.
At 27% reporting:
Me: 8,191 votes — 37%
Fine: 8,688 votes — 39%
Then roughly 15% more of the vote was reported.
My displayed total somehow DROPPED by 1,808 votes, to 6,383.
Fine’s more than DOUBLED, to 19,480.
A candidate’s reported vote total going backward as more precincts report is obviously not possible.
My attorneys are requesting the voter rolls. I’ll keep you posted.
Obviously this little freak could go volunteer to fight the war himself, but of course he won’t. He’s got no interest in making any kind of personal sacrifice. None of them do. Israel’s finance minister bragged the other day that having American soldiers fight Netanyahu’s wars “is the best for us.” Smotrich doesn’t want to die for Israel. Neither does Ben Shapiro. Dying for Israel is your job. You’ve got to wonder how people like this — liars without honor, wisdom or loyalty to the United States — wound up in positions of such profound influence throughout our society. How did Mark Levin get the president’s cell phone number? Why is Adm. Brad Cooper, the man in charge of the Iran war, secretly taking strategic advice from crazed Israel shill Mark Dubowitz? It’s all so nuts, and ultimately suicidal. Future generations will struggle to understand it. In the meantime, Trump will likely obey Ben Shapiro, as he has consistently for months. We can predict the results, because every neocon “victory” is identical: huge numbers of innocent people killed, disproportionately Christians, economic destruction, famine, mass migration and deepening authoritarianism at home. That’s what they’re demanding because that’s what they want. What can we do to stop it? Apparently not much. But we can remember what happened and why, so that history records the truth. Otherwise, when the war ends in disaster, as it inevitably will, Ben Shapiro will be able to blame you for it.
We just said goodbye to our good friends Thomas and Carolyn Massie.
The civil war in the Republican Party is successfully gutting the true America Firsters, like myself, Thomas and others.
But I don’t think most Americans realize the extent of what’s happening, how bad it is, and what it’s going to produce.
After taking the hard principled stand against war with Iran in June 2025 and releasing the Epstein files, the neocon controlled Republican establishment now backed by the President set out to destroy us.
Thomas and I took two different routes but ended up in the same place, which delivered a message to our colleagues to never go against the President even on issues he himself promised to do and at the same time delivered the louder stronger message to the American people that no matter what they say on tv, rally stages, committee hearings, campaign ads, or stump speeches, Republicans and Trump have overwhelmingly rejected America First and will do anything possible to cut the head off of anyone who tries to fly its banner.
The extent and extremes to which they have gone should shock everyone.
For me, I was Trump’s loudest champion for years supporting him when no one else would, voting with him 98% of the time, and he called me a traitor for releasing the Epstein files, refusing to support war with Iran, and fighting against the White House’s bad policies that only serve their donors like a 10 year moratorium on state rights to regulate and make laws on AI and data centers.
And yet my perfect conservative voting record, legislative accomplishments like the House passing my articles of impeachment of Biden’s DHS Secretary that oversaw the invasion of our country, passing my bill making it a felony to trans children under 18, my work as DOGE Chair defunding waste fraud and abuse and so much more, suddenly meant nothing to low educated Republicans that are easily manipulated by bot armies and bought and paid for social media influencers that spread absurd lies about me.
After supporting the Republican Party by paying all of my dues to the NRCC every Congress, endorsing and campaigning for Republican candidates, and spending millions and traveling the country to get Trump elected, to be called a traitor and not a single Republican (even the ones I helped get elected like JD Vance and others) not to utter a word of public support for me, it became abundantly clear that the Republican Party is something I can no longer support and want nothing to do with.
None of my policy views have changed, but everything changed about the man I supported to be president and the party I supported to gain the majority.
They are all under full capture and control.
And if you refuse to be captured and controlled with them, then their captors will set out to kill you, and the party sits in silence while it happens.
What they just did to Thomas Massie is unforgivable. I saw it all coming early, had just watched my friend Charlie Kirk assassinated, and knew they were going to do all of it and probably worse to me too, so I refused to allow it to happen to me, my family, and my district, so I resigned.
But Thomas stayed in the fight and they slaughtered him with tens of millions of foreign donor dollars that fueled lies, slander, character assassination, and even broke their own laws to do it.
They told lies to Kentucky’s 4th district that Massie had turned into a liberal Democrat, voting for Democrat policies, and even made vicious lying illegal AI ads showing him in a sexual relationship with AOC and Ilhan Omar.
Even though ALL of it was horrific lies proven wrong with his own 14 year impeccable America First liberty driven voting record, naive older voters in his district were easily fooled by the AIPAC and Israel funded campaign lies, and voted for a new candidate who refused every single debate with Thomas Massie and has no voting record to prove what he stands for at all.
The capture is complete.
What will you do about it?
Thomas Massie: "I vote with Republicans 91% of the time. And the 9% I don't, they're taking up for pedophiles, starting another war, or bankrupting our country."
An absolute mic drop. 🎤⬇️
🚨HOLY SHIT. Thomas Massie just laid out who is trying to buy his Kentucky seat, and it's not anyone who has ever set foot in Kentucky
The guy won his last 3 primaries with 81%, 76%, and 75%. Now he's polling +1 because $10 MILLION in outside money is drowning the race.
MASSIE: "95% of it has come from the Israeli lobby."
"RJC, AIPAC, Miriam Adelson, Paul Singer, and John Paulson funded a PAC called MAGA Kentucky, which is neither MAGA nor Kentucky."
"Miriam Adelson is the gambling magnate who ironically makes money from the Chinese gambling. She's literally an Israeli."
"She's given over $200 million to the president. He puts her on the stage. She's trying to buy a congressional seat in Kentucky."
A foreign billionaire dumping nine figures to install her preferred congressman in rural Kentucky. And we're supposed to pretend this is normal?
@RepThomasMassie is the only one in that building telling you who actually owns the place.
