Iran is run by a “mafia-like” oligarchy of tyrants who desperately want to hold on to power. They want the world to believe they’re all waiting for the 12th Imam while they steal from the very people they are bold-face lying to.

And it’s disgraceful how much the left in America wants these criminals to succeed.

Like it or not, we’re engaged and we must now win…for the sake of freedom (economically & politically) and for the sake of the Iranian people who despise the tyrants that rule over every aspect of their lives.

We know the Persian people and culture can return to a functioning, global society and culture once the yoke of this insane, psychotic group of crony thugs has been lifted and they have been destroyed.

Like it or not, the war is engaged and we have only one acceptable outcome for America—Victory!

For an American Soldier (or Airman, Sailor or U.S. Marine), Courage is defined as acting in faith, strength, and confidence in God, often in the face of fear or danger to one’s life.

Our Chairman of the Joint Chiefs laid this out as clearly as any leader I’ve witnessed in decades.

God Bless the men and women we have serving our nation in uniform today and God Bless their families as well for their courage and sacrifice.

Unless you’ve been there you cannot imagine where that place is…if you make it out, it’s because others helped you out.

Life is a journey with all sorts of ups and downs. Ups are easy, it’s the downs where you need the help. Never forget those whose lives were lost too early because they felt no one was there.

BE THERE!

God bless those who step up and show up to help. They’re the silent heroes.

Thank you Tracy Slepcevic for this reminder and your very honest and heartfelt article.

This is what I mean when I wrote this post less than 48 hours ago.

Deport these people or arrest them or quit kidding ourselves about war. War is either total or it’s a loser.

UPDATE:

I'm moving this week's Q&A to Wednesday 12 PM ET.

Tuesday night, President Trump's deadline to Iran expires at 8 PM. That moment matters. Whatever Iran decides, the world shifts after that deadline passes, and I want to be able to talk to you about what actually happened, not what we think might happen.

Wednesday, I'll be live with my unfiltered assessment, what the decision means, what it signals, and what comes next.

Get out and vote in Ohio for Marcell Strbich. Early voting begins today w elections on 5 May. Everywhere across the country, the GOP needs bold new leaders with fresh ideas.

ATTENTION: Flynn’s Rules of Diplomacy for American Officials

This piece was originally published last summer, and I have thought about it many times since. I am republishing it today because the moment we are living in demands it. The conversations happening right now in diplomatic backchannels, in military command structures, and behind closed doors in Washington are shaping the next chapter of this country's history. The stakes are not theoretical. The drift toward miscalculation, provocation, and nuclear brinkmanship is real.

LIVE Q&A with General Flynn

When the British monarch needs a William Wallace, instead they get a Prince William … good luck to my British mates!

Despite the ceasefire.

Never state a red line in warfare, just act. Keep all your options open until the very last second. Never let your enemy know what you’re thinking. And never ever trust anyone who doesn’t fully represent the side you’re negotiating with.

War is something that isn’t fair and isn’t meant to be fair.

Sadly, politics is worse.

This is what courage in the face of relentless political attacks looks like. DNI Tulsi Gabbard, someone I have known for close to two decades, and have great respect for, is saying what I have known and what millions of Americans suspected for a decade now.

Thank you DNI Gabbard for your relentless determination to discover and then expose these hard truths.

America is forever in your debt.

Trust these people WILL see justice because those millions of Americans will not let them get away with their treasonous conspiracy to undermine a duly elected POTUS nor to destroy the fabric of our constitutional republic.

Thank you for your attention to this matter!

If this report about CCP supplied missiles through Pakistan to Iran is true, this is an act of war and China (and Pakistan) should be put on notice immediately and the CCP should NOT be allowed to send another 500K students to attend our U.S. colleges and universities, never mind all the other deals our USG makes with the CCP.

And, if true, what does this say about Pakistan being the honest broker in negotiating a cease fire or longer term peace deal between Iran and the United States?

Someone needs a reality check.

All wars, but especially costly wars suck, but once engaged, and we are clearly and deeply engaged, we MUST now either win and win decisively, or we must extract our way out of this mess allowing the time necessary to reset ourselves in America for what could be a long, hot summer.

Don’t kid yourselves, this is not over until all sides say it is and all sides respond accordingly. All sides are clearly and obviously not just the United States and Iran.

And keep homeland security in mind too, because the foreign threat here in America from Iran (and others) is very real and it is not activated to the level required until our enemies say so. I pray our federal law enforcement are on top of this issue.

President Trump has good instincts. History has proven that. But I’ve spent a career in intelligence studying how decisions get made at the highest levels of government, and the man at the top rarely acts alone. This is not hypothetical.

We have watched it happen before. Good presidents have been maneuvered into catastrophic decisions by advisors with other agendas who suffered none of the consequences. Even though the buck still stops with the president, the American people suffer (and bear the casualties), all while the architects of the policy land softly in think tanks, boardrooms, and lobbying firms.

What lies ahead depends entirely on who is truly in control of this decision.

Continue to Pray for our President.

There MUST be consequences for those who pushed these “foreign interference” hoaxes that undermined the fabric of our constitutional republic.

There MUST be consequences!

Breaking: The EPSTEIN AFFAIR is not going away!

Our First Lady, Melania Trump just said, and rightly so, what the entire country has been thinking.

Epstein was not alone.

Every powerful person who thinks their name is buried in a sealed file should be very uncomfortable right now because the First Lady of the United States of America just put Congress on notice.

These women have been silenced, dismissed, and forgotten by a system that was designed to protect the guilty.

Congress has the authority, the platform, and the sworn testimony process to finally give these survivors their moment of truth in front of the entire world.

Put them under oath.

Open every hearing.

Enter every word into the permanent congressional record so that no administration, no judge, and no billionaire can ever make it disappear again.

The names are known. The network is real. The American people are done waiting for justice that keeps getting delayed to protect people who were never supposed to be protected.

Congress, DO YOUR JOB!

The First Lady is watching and so is America.

We the People DEMAND accountability!

MAGA =

Make
Accountability
Great
Again!
