When you threaten a country by violence or economic coercion to get what you want that is not leadership that is a moral failing based upon greed and sometimes hatred. I can say that right now that Donald Trump is a failure in every measurable way and is a danger to this nation and others. Conservatism needs a reset from the current course it has been on for much of the last ten years. Does it have the courage to remove the cancer that is Trump/MAGA? Our military should know that attacking a country based on sketchy intelligence is wrong. Voting has consequences and right now we are all feeling it. Something needs to change sooner rather than later. I don’t think those who can make it happen will be able to do so. This Iran situation is an example of incompetence all across the board.

Attacking Iran
Nuclear weapons policy is outside my wheelhouse.
With that being said I think that attacking a country without congressional approval is wrong. Waking on a weekend to hear that war is possibly being waged is just plain wrong. Sure America and Iran have long-standing issues, but there is enough problems going on without getting into another conflict isn’t what most Americans want. Attacking Iran doesn’t keep America safe, but I guess Israel benefits. I don’t think Israel is worth it all.
Donald Trump is immoral, incompetent and is an evil person. His “Board of Peace” is a farce. He shouldn’t be President anymore if you ask me.
“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God”
Matthew 5;9 from The Holy Bible.
About The Bombing Of Iran
First off, the Iran-Israel conflict is between them and them alone. They have to work out their issues. The United States has no business in this, full stop! After what seems to have been endless war with Iraq and Afghanistan, getting into this regional conflict is something no one should have the stomach for.
There should have been some congressional approval and accountability here. Iran does not pose a direct threat to the United States. Our economic treatment of other countries has compromised our moral standing in the world in many ways. In many places, America is no longer is seen as the “good guys”.
The president said he would take two weeks to decide, which makes this decision to bomb questionable. Expect some sort of retaliation, and it won’t be safe for American’s to travel in the area.
America is an ally of Israel, but the current version of Israel isn’t what I support. While I support Jewish people, their government is something that isn’t worthy of getting behind. The people of Israel as described in scripture is something I have linkage too. Sure they weren’t perfect, but the hard life they endured is something more in tune with my own existence.
Iran has its vast problems with human rights since the Iranian Revolution. They aren’t to be let off the hook. A revolution seems to be cooking and that will be something if it happens. There is a lot to keep an eye on. Let’s hope for the best.
In any situation, peace must prevail. Peace through diplomacy is always best.
A Call For Peace Everywhere Especially The Middle East
Lots of stuff is going on in the Middle East. Now would be a good time for a call for peace. May there be peace on Earth and may it begin with each of us.
Commentary On Current Events
The situation with Iran has me scared. It should have us all scared. To be honest I never felt afraid of either country and now we have to be concerned in light of the assassination of Qassem Soleimani. Sure he might have been a dangerous individual but his killing in my view will mean violence against American forces and perhaps civilians in the region. To me, it was the wrong move. Diplomacy and foreign policy should always win the day when it can.
The Bushfires Of Australia images coming out of the country are heartbreaking. The people of the country are having to escape the fires. Property and lives have been lost. The greatest impact is so many animals have lost their homes and so many more have been killed.
Political Discourse always has people wondering what’s going to happen next. From Brexit to Impeachment there is much internationally to keep us on edge. It will be interesting how everything will shake out and how much impact it will have on the world.
The New England Patriots aren’t going to the Super Bowl of the National Football League. That might be something that can bring a bunch of people into an agreement that it is a very good thing.
