The Reason Trump Struck Iran That the
Left Doesn’t Want You to Know

Original Article

Posted By: ladydawgfan, 3/1/2026 1:31:26 PM

Americans woke up Saturday morning to the news that the United States and Israel unleashed a coordinated strike, dubbed Operation Epic Fury, leveling key Iranian military sites and taking out much of the regime’s top brass. Among the dead is none other than Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. It was a good day for the Middle East and the world. Except for the Democrats. Almost instantly, Democrats in Washington started howling, calling the strikes “illegal,” “dangerous,” and “reckless.” They claimed that President Donald Trump didn’t consult Congress. You’d think they’d be cheering the demise of one of the world’s most dangerous tyrants, but no. For the left, this wasn’t a victory against terror.

Comments:

Iran was planning an attack on Israel and US civilian locations. Sounds like they brought this on themselves.

“Death to America” isn’t just a catchy slogan it is/was official Iranian state policy since 1979. Only God knows where this will lead but there is no doubt in my mind that from an America First perspective it is entirely justified.

I see, Democrats would rather have had hundreds of American troops killed before Trump took action. Can you imagine their outcry that Trump was asleep at the wheel and is to blame for not acting sooner? Leftist Democrats are disgusting and worthless. Just shut up and go back to insider trading and committing fraud.

I really want to believe this is good and necessary, and that they had it coming, but they dont make it easy. You cant smack someone for years at every opportunity, then beat him to a pulp claiming he was about to hit you. Thats low even for a bully.

Forget about the democrats…they’ll kick and scream either way Trump acts. They’re crying because he didn’t get congressional approval, but they’d cry just as hard if Americans died because Trump didn’t act fast enough. Either way they want to impeach him because it makes them sound cool.

The article links to another article with the names of the Gang of Eight. I was surprised to see the list included Schumer, Jeffries, Thune, and Warner. Why did they not tell the press the whole truth about the reason for the Epic mission? Dems and republicans complained to the press all day yesterday, as though they hadn’t heard intel from the Gang of Eight. Why the obfuscation? Are they deliberately trying ti confuse their constituents? It’s a very unclassy way to dish out info to the public. These people are stupid.

The leftist Democrats were out in the media today, yelling about how illegal it was that Trump hit Iran because Iran had not yet attacked the USA and that Trump had not received permission from Congress beforehand, demanding that Trump appear before the entire Congress and give Congress a confidential briefing of his plans regarding future US military actions that he planned to take against Iran. Common sense will tell you that if Trump held such a briefing, that within an hour the leftist Democrats would leak those military plans to the liberal media for all the world to see. In that respect, no doubt, if Trump were to somehow cure cancer the leftist Democrats would no doubt be rabidly opposed!

If Congress was in on the plan Omar Ilhan would have called the Ayatollah and told him it was coming. Congress can't be trusted with the likes oh her in it. We saw how the Democrats acted at the State of the Union Speech.

Amid the ongoing Operation Epic Fury, CNN’s Jake Tapper said over the weekend that one of his chief concerns is the environmental damage Iranians could face from American and Israeli strikes. Even as U.S. soldiers continue risking their lives in what may become one of the most consequential decisions of the second Trump administration, one that could reshape the Middle East as we know it.

Over the weekend, a pair of ISIS-inspired men were arrested after they allegedly threw an IED into a crowd of anti-Islam protesters in New York. The NYPD confirmed the device was dangerous and deadly; it was miraculous that the device didn't detonate. Mayor Zohran Mamdani blamed the attack on "white supremacy" including the anti-Islam activist Jake Lang, and has refused to condemn the ISIS-inspired terrorists who tried to kill people in his city. Now we're learning more about the two suspects, identified as Ibrahim Kayumi, 19, and Emir Balat, 18. It turns out Kayumi's parents are naturalized citizens from Afghanistan, and that they're pretty well-off.

In an Instagram video, a Persian protester goes out on the streets of Los Angeles to shout his praise for the U.S. government for killing Ayatollah Khamenei and bringing hope of liberation to the people of Iran. Across the street are American liberals with banners that read “Hands Off Iran.” He confronts them, furious not only that people who never suffered under the regime want it preserved, but also about the flag they are waving. He holds the original Persian flag, the Lion and Sun, which has become the symbol of the anti-regime movement. The “Hands Off” protesters are waving the Islamic Republic’s flag, which bears Arabic rather than Persian writing.

A panel of the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals scorched a Canadian-born, Obama-appointed judge for her heavy-handed and illegal imposition of operating procedures on all federal officers operating in Illinois. The majority opinion said the order imposed by Judge Sara Ellis, "impermissibly infringes on separation of powers principles. It effectively established the district court as the supervisor of all Executive Branch activity in the city of Chicago." It also hinted that her legal maneuvering was calculated to appear to dismiss an unconstitutional order while preserving the ability of future litigants to breathe new life into the suit.

It’s not really surprising. The trend of funerals turning into political rallies and platforms for lecturing those with whom they disagree started with Paul Wellstone's funeral, which was also a rally. So, when the memorial service for the late Reverend Jesse Jackson was held this week with Barack Obama, Joe Biden, the Clintons, and Kamala Harris in attendance, it was no surprise that it turned into a spectacle. It also serves as a reminder of why Donald J. Trump was elected in 2024.

Now, New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) has given the hospital system until March 11 to restart it, demonstrating “how desperate Democrats are to mutilate your kids.”

Iran sent out a possible “operational trigger” to activate “sleeper assets” abroad after the war with America and Israel began, according to an encrypted message intercepted by the US. The coded signal was sent out following the death of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on Feb. 28, with the message appearing to hold instructions for “covert operatives or sleeper assets,” ABC News reported, citing a federal alert sent to law enforcement agencies. The message could “be intended to activate or provide instructions to prepositioned sleeper assets operating outside the originating country,” the alert warned.

Back in February, the U.K. said dogs were an obstacle to its latest diversity scheme, namely turning the "too white" English countryside into a more "diverse" (read: Islamic) place to live. Not long after, a Muslim in New York said she was glad the city was "coming to Islam" when it came to dogs. Islam believes dogs are filthy and they're haram in many places, of course. But people in the West love their dogs, and the pet industry in the U.K. makes over £10 billion. In the U.S., that figure is $157 billion for 2025. Most of that is driven by dog ownership, so of course the politicians can't come

Political commentator Meghan McCain has built a career that began with a powerful advantage: her last name. The daughter of late Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), stepped into the national political conversation for decades because of her father's legacy. Meghan McCain never hid that connection, and she's defended her father's record with fierce loyalty since he died in 2018. Despite my thoughts about Meghan, her loyalty deserves respect; a daughter defending her father is hardly controversial, while she protects what she believes was an honorable legacy tied to her father's military service and Senate career. McCain, however, found his political decisions drifted away from conservative principles

"The Trump SBA is committed to driving economic growth and job creation for American citizens," SBA Administrator Kelly Loeffler said in a statement on Friday. The requirement will apply to its Surety Bond and Microloan programs and is an expansion of changes made in February to the SBA’s 504 and 7(a) programs — loans for small businesses looking to finance working capital, equipment or acquisitions.
