Gavin Newsom slammed for talking out of both sides of his mouth in bizarre response to Trump's Iran attack

Daily Mail Online

"A third commenter urged the governor to back the country during a time of conflict: 'I know this is hard for you Gavin, so let's try saying it together: 'I support America.' "

"California Gov. Gavin Newsom is facing a fierce backlash after critics accused him of 'talking out of both sides of his mouth' in a blistering response to President Donald Trump's unprecedented strike on Iran.

" 'Newsom's statement both called for the end of Tehran's regime while condemning the military operation targeting it as 'illegal' and 'dangerous.'

"Newsom posted a sharply worded message on X in the hours following the coordinated US-Israeli assault on Iranian targets.

"'The corrupt and repressive Iranian regime must never have nuclear weapons. The leadership of Iran must go,' Newsom wrote. 

"'But that does not justify the President of the United States engaging in an illegal, dangerous war that will risk the lives of our American service members and our friends without justification to the American people. 

"'President Trump is putting Americans at risk abroad because he is unpopular at home.'

"Within minutes, critics pounced - arguing the governor's position was contradictory." . . .More

"Hey, I'm a lover, not a governor!"

More  "As Gavin Newsom prepares to announce his presidential bid, likely sometime at the beginning of next year, and is set to release his memoir next week, he is attracting increased press scrutiny into his early political career.

"That invites all sorts of risks for Newsom, as his early history is filled with colorful scandals and controversies. Of course, that’s likely why Newsom is putting his book out now: It will get the media scrutiny out of the way, thereby preventing things from blowing up in his face during his official presidential campaign." . . . More ...

AOC’s Ignorance Is No Laughing Matter

  American Greatness  "AOC’s ignorance isn’t just about cowboys, in other words. It’s also about the greatest and most profound tragedies in world history. Her ignorance is dangerous."

"As I have noted before in these pages, “Marcuse conceded that the capitalist system was simply too good at providing goods and services that made the masses comfortable and happy. It therefore deprived them of ever knowing or caring about their true oppressed consciousness. Workers had become one-dimensional consumers, distracted from their fate by their egos and the creature comforts of capitalism.'”....... The warmth of capitalism!
 

 "Over the past week or so, many on the political Right have understandably enjoyed a laugh or two at the expense of Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D, N.Y.). AOC went to the Munich Security Conference to provide “balance” to the Trump administration’s presence and to burnish her own credentials on the global stage. Instead, she mostly just made a fool of herself. Not only did she stutter, stammer, and offer a Kamala Harris-esque non-answer when asked about American interests in and obligations to Taiwan, but she also demonstrated a comically poor grasp of geography and a righteously ignorant understanding of history. In an effort to rebut and embarrass U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, AOC embarrassed only herself, showing that historical facts mean far less to her than identity-inspired fiction.

"But while it’s inarguably fun to chuckle at and mock the ignorance of the smug congresswoman and presumed presidential aspirant, it is also important to acknowledge that her historical and political illiteracy extends beyond the superficial and touches on matters of real and critical importance. Notably, this purported champion of the working class does not know the history of working-class politics, does not understand the reasons for the collapse of the working-class-centered ideology, and, as a result, has never contemplated the dangers inherent in attempting to resuscitate that failed doctrine.

"Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez has long emphasized her biography and working-class roots to enhance her political status—and justifiably so. Her childhood may not have been quite the struggle she pretends it was, but she nevertheless endured economic hardships—especially after her father’s death—and was unable to find employment commensurate with her education. She was, famously, a bartender and a cocktail waitress before her election to Congress and, as a result, has long fashioned herself a champion of the working class and its purported priorities.

"Indeed, on her trip to Munich, AOC emphasized her affinity with the working class and admonished democratic nations to erect a bulwark against totalitarianism by focusing on workers, workers’ rights, and worker-centered politics. “It is of utmost urgent priority that we get our economic houses in order and deliver material gains for the working class,” the congresswoman said, “or else we will fall to a more isolated world governed by authoritarians that also do not deliver to working people.” She railed against large corporations and especially billionaires, insisting that they had to be stopped from “throwing their weight around” in domestic and international politics. In short, the good congresswoman used her trip to Munich to urge the workers of the world to unite, because, as she sees it, they have nothing to lose but their chains." 

"There’s only one little problem with AOC’s exhortation: it’s ridiculous. Indeed, it’s been tried . . . and tried . . . and tried. It doesn’t work. And when I say that, I don’t mean that socialism doesn’t work or that communism has been tried countless times before and failed every time. That much is obvious by now. Rather, what I mean is that the workers of the world don’t care about the rest of the workers of the world." . . . More...

Iran: How are Democrats handling it all? Whom do they hate most: Hamas, the Ayatollahs, or President Donald Trump?


The Usual Idiots Are on the Job As America Crushes the Iranian Tyrants

 . . . "There are also various Democrats who are mad and frightened – not for our troops but because they know Trump's track record of success and are terrified that he pulls off this incredible strategic coup. Senator Fetterman was the exception; the rest were craven enough to whine about Trump even though they know this mission is both necessary and just."

"Ilhan Omar is very angry with the Trump administration for going into Iran and (now that we know) taking Khamenei out.

"Why oh why are Democrats always on the wrong side of history?

"Masih Alinejad shared a letter from a woman wounded by the regime to Omar, which likely fell on deaf (and dumb) ears:.

"Sadly, since she included a picture of the woman after her injury, X will not allow us to embed her post. HOWEVER, we are able to copy and paste the content of her post including the letter so you can see it as well.

"We only hope Omar took a moment to read it, although if we're being honest, we sincerely doubt she did.

"This is so powerful:" (Lengthy article from which only the below is quoted:) 

" . . .Your hatred of President Trump appears stronger than your love for America, stronger than your love for Manhattan, for freedom, for women’s rights. That is why you sound sympathetic to the Islamic Republic while remaining silent about women like Sara, like me, and like millions of Iranians who are victims of this barbaric regime. You celebrating hijab day in Manhattan in beautiful New York and watching women get killed in Iran for not wearing hijab. I dare you to share the picture of Sara, and say no to the war being wage by Islamist terrorist on us, Iranians" . . .

Another Ayatollah-to-Be Passes & Iran's New Leaders Want to Talk . . . "There is a lot going on today, with a potential Ayatollah dying and Iranian leaders allegedly wanting to talk with President Trump.

"We have a temporary supreme leader, Ayatollah Alireza Arafi, who may or may not be made permanent. Iran better tuck him away in a safe place if there is such a place. President Trump says 47 years of this radical regime is long enough.

"Khamenei’s son Mojtaba has long been in line for the position. However, Open Source Intel said he has recently passed away, although Iranian officials have not confirmed his sudden death. One must wonder how long the temporary replacement would last. If it’s anything like Hamas leadership, as soon as one takes the helm, we hear of his passing."   

The Atlantic: “Asked whether his conversation with the Iranians would happen today or tomorrow, Trump responded, ‘I can’t tell you that.’ He noted that some of the Iranians involved in negotiations in recent weeks were no longer alive. ‘Most of those people are gone. Some of the people we were dealing with are gone, because that was a big—that was a big hit,’ he told me. ‘They should have done it sooner, Michael. They could have made a deal. They should’ve done it sooner. They played too cute.’”

Nancy Guthrie Case: Everything We Know as Investigation Reaches One Month Mark

"It’s been one month since Savannah Guthrie’s mom Nancy Guthrie disappeared without a trace from her Tucson, Arizona, home.
"While investigators still continue to search for Nancy and her abductor, Savannah has upped the ante, offering up to $1 million for any information that leads to her mom’s recovery.
"In a video, Savannah said, "She may be lost, she may already be gone… If this is what is to be, then we will accept it. But we need to know where she is. We need her to come home.”
"Since Savannah’s reward announcement, the FBI reports more than 1,500 tips have come in." . . .

"For the second time in the excruciating weeks since Nancy Guthrie vanished, Friday’s burst of law enforcement activity in a southern Arizona neighborhood signaled a possible break in a case that has transfixed the country.
"But, once again, the authorities later announced a disappointing result: Even after one person was questioned and the S.U.V. was towed away, no arrests had been made and there had been no trace of the 84-year-old Ms. Guthrie.
"On Monday, there were few visible signs of significant progress in an investigation that for more than 16 days has frustrated the police and tormented Ms. Guthrie’s family — most visibly, her daughter, “Today” show host Savannah Guthrie, whose public pleas for help have reached millions around the world." . . .

The Women Who Would Not Kneel; As Iran’s regime wages war on its own daughters, the U.S. now faces a test that is both moral and strategic.

Presently, purple-haired, pierced semi-women in America hold their pre-printed, pre-planned professional posters in protest of our President's actions.

 The American Spectator


"During the Biden administration, I attended a small dinner with Iranian dissidents living in the United States. As they spoke, quietly, intensely, of a free Iran, I asked what they wanted most from American leadership.

Their answer was simple.

“ 'We do not want you to fight for us. We just want to know you will not abandon us when the time comes.”

"Earlier this year, tens of thousands poured into the streets across Iran in the most profound protest movement since the Iranian revolution in 1979. Many were women. (RELATED: Iran Is Not That Simple)

"The courage required is difficult to comprehend from a distance. Iranian women and girls stepped into public squares under a regime that has never concealed its capacity for cruelty toward them. For decades, they have lived with midnight arrestsendless interrogationsmurder carried out by morality police, and prisons that swallow dissent without a trace. Still, they chose to stand openly. (RELATED: Time to Stand With the People of Iran)

"What followed ranks among the most grotesque displays of state violence in recent memory.

"Accounts from detainees, families, and medical personnel describe women raped in custody, mutilated, and returned to their loved ones in conditions that defy comprehension. There are credible reports of uteruses removed, scalps taken, and bodies so desecrated that families were denied the chance to see or bury their dead. Some never received remains at all. In a system long accustomed to repression, these acts are meant to extinguish resistance and memory." . . .

These protesting Iranians remember too well Democrat President Obama's betrayal of their Green Revolution in 2009:

Barack Obama Is to Blame for Iran. Here’s Why.  

Iran’s reign of terror finally faces the hammer of justice with Operation Epic Fury, proving Trump’s strength buries Obama’s shameful appeasement forever.

Had to keep his base happy.

 "Americans woke up Saturday to something big. The United States and Israel launched a massive joint offensive against Iran’s regime, known as Operation Epic Fury. According to reports, targets included Iran’s supreme leader and president. Major combat operations are now underway, and the implications are global.

"Predictably, Democrats in Washington and even some Republicans are questioning the strikes. But let’s be honest — this moment was long overdue. Iran’s reign of terror didn’t start yesterday. In fact, this confrontation is the direct result of the Obama administration’s disastrous decision a decade ago to appease, enrich, and embolden Tehran.

"Barack Obama and his administration sold the world a fantasy with the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), commonly referred to as the Iran nuclear deal. This treaty was so bad that Obama didn’t even attempt to get the Senate to ratify it. He just pretended it wasn’t a treaty and signed it unilaterally, claiming it as a foreign policy victory for himself.

"In fact, Obama was so desperate to make the deal a defining foreign policy achievement of his presidency that the lies about the deal from the left have never stopped. He told us it was a historic diplomatic breakthrough that would block Iran’s path to nuclear weapons. In reality, it handed the mullahs a lifeline and a fortune. Sanctions were lifted. Tehran gained access to roughly $150 billion in frozen assets, and there was that infamous $1.7 billion in cash sent to the regime, much of it delivered on pallets in the middle of the night. Every step of the way, Obama was emboldening Iran, not containing it.

"It didn’t take long for Iran to show what a joke the deal really was. Just three months after signing the deal, Tehran test-fired ballistic missiles in open violation of U.N. resolutions. German intelligence later reported that Iran was still seeking technology for a military nuclear program. The International Atomic Energy Agency confirmed repeated violations of material limits — all while Obama kept reassuring us that the agreement was “working.” Even he eventually admitted Iran was violating the “spirit” of the deal, and that was as close as he’d ever get to admitting that his deal was a sham." . . .  More...

Netanyahu: "The Era of Oppression Ends Today"

As Bibi once said, “Mr. President, Ladies and gentlemen, I didn’t intend to come here this year. My country is at war, fighting for its life." 


Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivers a historic address as Operation Lion’s Roar begins. Announcing a joint U.S.-Israeli campaign to dismantle Iran’s nuclear ambitions and terror infrastructure, Netanyahu calls on the Iranian people to seize their destiny and overthrow the "yoke of tyranny" for a free, peaceful future.

"In a dramatic televised broadcast delivered this morning, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the citizens of both Israel and Iran, formally announcing the commencement of a joint military offensive with the United States to eliminate the Iranian existential threat.

"The Prime Minister began by expressing gratitude to U.S. President Donald Trump for his "historic leadership" in the mission, which Netanyahu identified as a turning point after decades of hostility. He noted that for 47 years, the Ayatollah regime has chanted "Death to Israel" and "Death to America," while spilling the blood of countless civilians and its own people.

"Netanyahu emphasized that a "murderous terror regime" must never be allowed to arm itself with nuclear weapons, as such a development would threaten all of humanity. He stated that the primary objective of the combined military action is to create the necessary conditions for the "brave Iranian people to take their fate into their own hands." . . .

Iran's Regime Is an Unspeakable Evil, and These Protestors Support It

. . . "Here's the thing: There is no regime so horrible, no ruling despots so murderous, that some useful idiots in the United States and elsewhere in the modern world won't turn out to support them.

A coalition of organizations on Saturday have planned protests opposing the U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran earlier in the day, with demonstrations planned across multiple cities.

“Trump’s unprovoked, illegal attack on Iran is an act of war that threatens to cause unthinkable death and destruction. But the people of this country reject another endless war and will take to the streets now and make our voices heard,” stated Action Coalition.

The coalition listed several emergency protests scheduled earlier in the day and into Saturday afternoon across several cities. These cities include Atlanta, Baltimore, Boston, Chicago, Cincinnati, Denver, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Miami, Minneapolis, New York City and more.

Six more protests will be held on Sunday in Albany, N.Y.; Ellensburg, Va.; Chattanooga, Tenn.; Decorah, Iowa; Gainesville, Fla.; and Springfield, Mo.

"Unprovoked? Seriously? Iran has funded, trained, and equipped terrorists around the world." .

President Trump’s jaw-jaw has been a prelude to war-war with Iran

 Andrea Widburg - American Thinker

Trump hates war, but he understands that the mullahs are not interested in peace, and if there’s going to be war, it’ll be fast, powerful, and on Trump’s terms.


"Winston Churchill didn’t actually say that “jaw-jaw is better than war-war.” What he said was, “Meeting jaw to jaw is better than war,” a saying that became pithier over time. Either way, Churchill made clear that, while he never intended to be taken for a ride as Neville Chamberlain was in 1938 (although Chamberlain was struggling with the fact that Britain had no meaningful military at the time), he did recognize that war’s destruction should always be avoided, if possible.

"Donald Trump understands that, too. He has made it remarkably clear that he has no intention of becoming a “war president.” Indeed, he’s the only president in recent history who, to date, has not started a war. What he has done, all over the world, is to use his understanding of human psychology, along with America’s economic power, to stop wars.

"But Trump, like Churchill in 1938, also understands that there are certain wars that cannot be stopped. Instead, they must be confronted sooner because they’re only going to be worse later. That’s certainly the case with Iran. If Iran gets nuclear weapons, it will effectively hold the whole world hostage.

"The same fanatically religious government that slaughters its own people will not have a problem with unleashing nuclear Armageddon on its enemies. Indeed, the mullahs’ ideology leads them to embrace Armageddon.

Both Judaism and Christianity foresee an apocalyptic moment, but they’re not trying to hasten its arrival. What differs about the Iranian version is that Iran believes that its role is not simply to be a passive, albeit faithful, observer of the End of Days, which is how Christians and Jews approach the subject. Instead, it will trigger the End of Days." . . .  More...

Trump’s masterful statement about the attack on Iran;  Andrea Widburg   

. . . "What I’m worried about is the home front. We know that the left will be hysterical in their defense of the cruel Iranian regime. We also know that many on the right will frame the war either as (1) an unnecessary defense of Israel, as if Iran hasn’t been waging unrelenting war against America and the West since 1979, a war that cannot be allowed to go nuclear, or as (2) an offense to the isolationist strain in the Republican party. Given those forces, it’s imperative that Trump make his case to the American people.

"Thankfully, in his first statement about the strike, I think he did make that case. It was a short and, to my mind, masterful statement." . . .

 (You can read the full text here.)

Trump closed by telling the Iranian people that, finally, an American president listened to their cries for relief from this tyranny:  

. . . "So let’s see how you respond. America is backing you with overwhelming strength and devastating force. Now is the time to seize control of your destiny and to unleash the prosperous and glorious future that is close within your reach.

"This is the moment for action. Do not let it pass.

"Once, Persia’s Cyrus was the savior of the Jewish people. Perhaps today, America’s own Cyrus will be the savior of the Persian people."

"Photographic proof of the successful assassination was shown to Donald Trump, the US president, and Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister.
"Mr Trump told NBC News the White House felt it was a “correct story” that Khamenei had been killed, along with “a large number” of the regime’s leaders.
