Reaction to Trump's Stunning Attack on Iran Lights Up Social Media

 RedState  Donald Trump made the massive move to bomb Iran’s nuclear sites Saturday night and is expected to speak to the nation at 10 p.m. EST.

The reaction has not surprisingly taken over the headlines, but social media is also on fire with opinions on the strikes. Perhaps the most interesting one so far came from Pennsylvania Democrat Sen. John Fetterman, who, based on his record and his campaign, was expected to be a far-left legislator. However, he has broken with his party numerous times, and he does so once again here:

As I’ve long maintained, this was the correct move by @POTUS

Iran is the world’s leading sponsor of terrorism and cannot have nuclear capabilities.

I’m grateful for and salute the finest military in the world.

Reports are that Iran's nukes are no-va so far, at least until Democrats become once more in charge of that nation. TD

US bombs three nuclear sites in Iran including key Fordow bunker as Trump hails 'our very successful attack' and demands 'now is the time for peace'

UK Daily Mail

"The United States has bombed three nuclear sites in Iran in a risky move that could spark a wider regional conflict.

"President Donald Trump tonight hailed the 'very successful attack' on the key Fordow bunker, Natanz and Esfahan sites. 

"He said American planes had dropped a 'full payload of bombs' and had now left Iranian airspace. 

'We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan,' Trump declared in a post on social media. 

'All planes are now outside of Iran air space. A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow. All planes are safely on their way home.'

Trump added in a later post that he would address the national at 10pm eastern time (3am UK time), writing this was a 'historic moment' for the United States. 

The president said B-2 stealth bombers were used but did not specify which types of bombs were dropped.

The decision to directly involve the US comes after more than a week of strikes by Israel on Iran that have moved to systematically eradicate the country's air defenses and nuclear program. " . . .

Financial Data Reveals ‘No Kings’ Protests Are Hypocritical Astroturfing

The Federalist   

"I’ve asked several of my local No Kings supporters about this obvious double standard, but I have yet to receive a reasonable answer. Thus, I can only conclude that these folks are perfectly fine with a monarch (even one who is clearly mentally unfit) so long as he has a “D” after his name."

"Last weekend was shaping up to be a depressing one for the American left. Between the celebrations of Flag Day (which is also President Trump’s birthday) and Father’s Day, it seemed Democrats would have to spend all Saturday and Sunday bed-rotting to survive the “toxic” combination of patriotism and patriarchy. 

"But their hopes were restored by the efforts of a bevy of leftist protest organizations. Using the anti-ICE riots happening in Los Angeles and elsewhere as their inspiration, these wannabe tyrants initiated a series of so-called No Kings rallies across the country on Saturday. The obvious purpose of these rallies was to galvanize opposition to the Trump administration and its efforts to reestablish law and order.

"If this all seems eerily familiar, that’s because we’ve seen it before. Americans should not be deceived by this latest clunky combination of astroturfing and gaslighting by ideologues desperate to return to power. 

"Trump’s reelection in November represented the triumph of his common-sense populist appeal in the face of massively organized resistance. To counter Trump, Democrats need to hide their centralized structure behind a façade of spontaneous grassroots activism. Yet the No Kings effort failed to deceive any but the most superficial observer, thanks in large part to Asra Nomani’s efforts with the Pearl Project.

"In an op-ed published last Friday, Nomani detailed how Saturday’s protests were organized by close to 200 groups, “all of which are aligned with the Democratic Party and many of which claim tax-exempt ‘nonpartisan’ non-profit status,” with over $2 billion in annual revenue. 

"Under the moniker of “Indivisible Digital Asset Management,” this protest machine provided promotional materials for demonstration organizers along with an online “toolkit” for messaging and mobilizing support. While these materials seem to emphasize a nonviolent approach, an “orientation” slide deck provided by #ResistTrump, one of the partner organizations involved, reportedly included “political violence” on its continuum of protest, further confirming the left’s descent into radicalism." . . .

Supreme Court Unanimously Agrees Victims Can Sue Palestinian Groups

Newsweek   

"The victims brought their claims under the Anti-Terrorism Act of 1992, a law enacted in response to the 1985 killing of American citizen Leon Klinghoffer during a hijacking of the Achille Lauro cruise ship. The law was designed to provide a legal avenue in U.S. courts for victims of international terrorism."

"The Supreme Court on Friday reinstated long-standing lawsuits brought by American victims who were killed or injured in terrorist attacks in the Middle East against Palestinian authorities.

"The justices unanimously upheld a 2019 law passed by Congress that explicitly permits these legal actions to proceed against the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and the Palestinian Authority.

"The lawsuits stem from multiple attacks, including several from the early 2000s that killed 33 people and injured hundreds, and a 2018 incident in which a U.S.-born Israeli settler was fatally stabbed by a Palestinian outside a shopping mall in the West Bank.

"Victims and their families allege that Palestinian operatives were either directly involved in or incited the attacks. Palestinian officials, however, have consistently argued that such cases should not be tried in American courts.

"The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New York has repeatedly sided with the PLO and Palestinian Authority, despite Congressional amendments intended to enable victims' access to justice. In 2016, the appeals court overturned a $654 million jury verdict in favor of the victims, ruling that U.S. courts lacked jurisdiction over foreign-based organizations in cases involving random attacks not explicitly directed at the United States." . . .

Does anyone think that poor little Greta Thunberg’s latest publicity stunt is anything short of pathetic?

 But first:The cult of the keffiyeh  "Douglas Murray, author of On Democracies and Death Cults , explains why privileged Western ‘progressives’ love to cosplay as Hamas."

I love Israel: "

Dear Little Greta,

"You’re probably wondering why there’s such a fuss over your journey to Gaza. After all, I'm sure you think that you’re doing good for the world as you perceive it. But, my dear little girl, the optics of your actions reveal that you have no knowledge and an overbearing level of self-indugence in your deeds. So here’s a truth alert for you, sweetheart: your symbolic scarf, a.k.a. kufiyah, helps to identify you as an albeit naïve individual who thinks that it’s OK to murder innocent babies (I believe you were once a baby too, so one would naturally think you would empathize with those who suffer at the hands of Hamas). Further, your not-so-pretty scarf reveals that you think it’s OK to rape women believe it’s OK to kidnap and murder people of all ages. Although you do try to act like an adult, sweetie, in reality you’re just not there yet.

"I recall how you were grandstanding for climate changed, but I’m curious why you changed direction and decided to take up a lesser cause. After rehearsing the lines you were given to recite back then, it seems like your current mentors have let you down. Sweetie, the world is laughing AT you for these latest antics. I can’t believe someone has convinced you into believing misguided barbaric notions which celebrate unprovoked crimes - I thought you fancied yourself as a leader, not a follower. Do you embrace death like Hamas does? I certainly hope not! Does this latest romp make you feel good about yourself? If Israel and its population of Jews, Muslims, Christians, Druze and so many others were so horrible by “kidnapping” you, they wouldn’t have offered you and your comrades kosher snacks, sandwiches, and drinks before sending you back home to mummy and daddy. Yeah, honey, you ate KOSHER foods. How does it feel to eat kosher food when you’re an antisemite?

"I see that you enjoy using redefined words like “kidnapped” as well as “genocide” “apartheid” “colonialism” and “occupation”. Perhaps if you open a dictionary before babbling, you might be humbled by the actual definitions of the above quoted words. I realize English is not your first language which makes for an even stronger argument that you verify the words you choose to use.

"Sweetie, maybe it’s time for you to go back to school. You’ve clearly missed quite a bit of education while you were basking in the media limelight. Andy Warhol (he was a famous New York City artist) quipped that everyone will get 15 minutes of fame. Dearie, you’ve had yours so now I suggest you start a new campaign of self-reflection which will do you some good as you approach adulthood. Add to that some humility and do read history books that were written with integrity and verified facts. If you take on this task, you’ll quickly find that you’re rooting for the wrong side of humanity.

"Sincerely,  One of your smallest fans"
