I'm sorry: [View all]

I hate this administration with a searing heat and fire like nothing I have ever felt domestically and believe that this “excursion” (sic) is poorly planned, executed on the fly, and was beyond ill-conceived. I am both outraged and afraid because the incompetence of the political leadership is manifest in spades.

But…and there’s always a but…. I just watched Ayman Mohyeldin interview the Iranian.foreign minister, an individual who can easily and with a straight face rationalize and lie about their leadership murdering up to 30,000 protestors recently and countless numbers of individuals before this. The word “softball” does not begin to describe his questioning, nodding much of the time while this sociopath spouts a combination of half-truths and nonsensical pleas of innocence.

We know that Ayman, born the year of the Iranian Revolution, despises Israel, no matter who its leader is and has always slanted coverage. Yes, I’m an ardent Zionist, extremely upset and disappointed in Netanyahu both politically and personally -I was acquainted with him when he was in Cheltenham, PA and was in high school with friends of mine - and am very concerned in all axes with respect to the future of Israel as well as the safety of my fellow Jews in the United States.

But these Iranians are no victims, no heroes. They have been sponsoring worldwide terror for 47 years and enough is enough. What is unfortunate is that the worst individual who has ever been entrusted with the safety and the future of US citizens is presently occupying the literal seat of power. The October 7 attacks in Israel gave Netenyahu the excuse to go scorched earth in the Mideast and this fool in the White House seems to have figured a way of literally profiting from this ill-conceived “excursion”. It could and should have been handled, if at all, with a real battle plan. There is none.

But to my point, Ayman on MS NOW who hates Trump, utilized the “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” methodology and strategy.

No, Ayman, he ain’t your friend.
