Destroying nuclear sites is only solution to Iran aggression

Iran pays no attention to “resolutions” by any world body. It is guided by a religion that says all Americans are devils and have to be destroyed.

Allowing it to continue developing nuclear weapons will only encourage it to do so. Destroying the nation’s nuclear sites is the only “resolution” Iran’s leaders will understand.

Public will feel pain of government run by loyalists

In just a couple of months, the new regime will take over, and right away, it will begin implementing its Schedule F program. Thousands of career government employees will be fired and replaced with MAGA apparatchiks. The experience and knowledge of a generation will be tossed in favor of having loyalists in place. Thus, the “Deep State” will be neutralized.

One effect will be to have a government that is more attuned to corporate interests, which is to say, the end of regulation. This might sound good to you until you notice the slag pile building up behind the fence in your backyard. Also, many popular government programs will be altered or eliminated. Appointed czar Elon Musk has warned us there will be pain in the land, and it’s a dead certainty the investing class won’t be feeling that pain.

Remember when inexperienced political loyalists were recruited to implement the reconstruction of Iraq? That didn’t work out so well, did it?

Let’s hold Trump to his promises

So, most voters went for Donald Trump because he promised lower inflation, lower grocery prices, lower gas prices and lower rents. Let’s hold him to these promises. No excuses, no blaming the Democrats.

I hope I can count on the AJC to let people know the facts about this in two years and again in four years.
