I will undertake no unjust wars; will enter into no sinful alliances; will not oppress my subjects by excessive taxation, to support extravagance in my court. What is good for nothing or evil in its operation, what is wicked in its principle, and what would lead me away from righteousness and truth, I will never set before my eyes.

Adam Clarke (1760 – 1832) commentary of Psalms 101:3, "I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes."

The U.S. government has not only entered into a sinful alliance with the State of Israel; it has enthusiastically allowed itself to become an enslaved serf of the State of Israel in fighting a multitude of unjust wars. For all intents and purposes, when it comes to foreign policy, Benjamin Netanyahu is the President of the United States, no matter who sits in the Oval Office.

It was Netanyahu that persuaded Donald Trump into going to war with Iran. Everybody in the world knows it. Trump's unjust war of aggression against Iran is not only making the Middle East more unsafe, but it is also taking the entire world to the precipice of war, crashing the global economy and even destroying our own country.

In this short video clip, I said,

Most of these people are Christian Zionists. And Zionists, Christian or otherwise, love war. I want to tell you: America will never know peace until it rids itself of the Zionist warmongers that litter our churches and our political institutions.

Trump's war in Iran is not destroying Iran; it is destroying AMERICA. And Trump is fighting a war in Iran not because he is acting in the best interests of the United States, but because he is a puppet for Zionist Israel.

Donald Trump is determined to make Israel great, and if the United States goes to hell in the process, he doesn't give a tinker's dam.

And, as usual, the mainstream media does a masterful job of hiding Israel's control over U.S. foreign policy, the U.S. military, the U.S. Congress and even most of our Protestant evangelical churches.

It is absolutely incredible the depths to which Donald Trump has taken not only the United States as a whole but also, and especially, evangelical Christianity. Think about all the things that Trump, as president, has normalized inside evangelicalism: misogyny; the sexual objectification and exploitation of women; lying; pride; arrogance; impudence; maniacal narcissism; blasphemy; racism; bigotry; genocide; hatred; inexhaustible greed; graft and bribery on a universal scale; personal retribution; chronic name-calling and belittlement—even the attempt to normalize pedophilia. The list is endless.

I don't want to hear Rev. Franklin Graham or Pastor Robert Jeffress preach one word against any of the above abominations ever again. They have spent the last 21 months defending, covering for, excusing—even lauding, cheering and encouraging—this Blasphemer-in-Chief. 

But I digress.

Former Green Beret Nate Cornacchia does a good job of keeping the American people informed as to the devastating and debilitating train wreck to which Trump and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth are taking our U.S. military.

I'll say it straight out: Donald Trump doesn't care one iota about our U.S. military personnel. To Trump, they are but cannon fodder for Netanyahu and the State of Israel. The torturous conditions on board the USS Abraham Lincoln, Tripoli and George H. W. Bush are prosecutorial Exhibits 1, 2 and 3. 

In a recent podcast, Nate reports:

We have trouble in the U.S. military this week as more top military officials have officially resigned, citing issues with Pete Hegseth's leadership. 

Yes, this is kind of becoming a pattern. We have upwards of over 20 top officials and generals who have either resigned or been purged due to their dissent regarding the Iran War. 

And who's the most recent one this week? Yes, the highest-ranking official to resign so far; Secretary of the Army Dan Driscoll has officially resigned. 

Now, the Pentagon is apparently freaking out as more and more leaking reports of top military officials dissenting against the administration are starting to go public. 

Here is why Army Secretary Dan Driscoll resigned: 

"Driscoll brought up concerns with the administration surrounding Army transformation and readiness and Hegseth's blocking those efforts specifically by firing the generals who were responsible," according to a source familiar with Driscoll's decision. 

Now, that's actually compounded on top of reporting that we were getting out of other top military officials that they have been advising Pete Hegseth that the war in Iran is completely destroying military readiness. Our munition storages are drying up. Our soldiers are way too far extended, overly deployed. And of course, they've just been ignored completely. Because that's what happens when you hire the host of Fox and Friends Weekends to be the Secretary of Defense.

But things are massively escalating as the United States has ramped up its bombing campaigns yet again {including bombing an Iranian wedding ceremony with three ballistic missiles to add to the already massive list of innocents murdered by Trump and Hegseth, including the 168 little grade school girls massacred in Manib}, and Iran continues to destroy U.S. military bases, most recently in Jordan.

Now, speaking of military readiness, which again is one of the things that so many of these top military officials are very, very concerned about, well, we all heard about the USS Abraham Lincoln and the terrible conditions that these soldiers were undergoing. Well, it finally has made its way to port in Thailand. Let's take a look at the condition of the ship. So, yeah, the ship is looking pretty beat up and pretty worse for wear at the moment. Looking a little rough. {See the video.} 

But the rest of Nick's report reveals a thoroughly disgusting element of Trump and Hegseth's mistreatment and utter disdain for our U.S. military personnel and their families.

And another viral story that broke yesterday that'll continue to make you hate this administration more and more says: 

This is Maj. Alex Klinner. He was killed March 12 during Operation Epstein's Fury. His widow said Sunday death benefits aren't being provided as the war wasn't formally declared. MAGA is too weak to actually declare war and leaving dead soldiers' families holding the bag. Pathetic. 

So, what usually happens when a soldier is killed in action in a combat zone, their surviving widow is going to get extra benefits, extra pay stipends to help them, obviously, because, well, they're now on a single income, and a lot of the times in the military, spouses don't work because we deploy all over the place, and they have to stay home with the kids. Potentially no income at all. So, if it's the case that the US military is trying to bypass that and not provide those benefits, oh no, no, no, no, no, no. We take care of our gold star families. But apparently Pete Hegseth doesn't.  

Well, that's obviously disgusting, but how about this one? 

Army sergeant's wife was deported while he serves. A Fort Bliss army sergeant's wife has been deported to Honduras, leaving him to balance military duties with caring for their 6-year-old daughter. 

So, ICE out there just really catching the bad guys.

No wonder they don't want Congress to declare war. Disgusting is right.

We all know that except for a very small handful of congressmen and congresswomen, all of the Republicans in Congress are in the hip pocket of Netanyahu and the Israel lobby. But Israel's toxic tentacles extend deeply into the Democratic Party as well.

From Scheerpost.com:

Party leaders are ignoring the three-quarters of registered Democrats who oppose providing military aid to Israel.

Despite growing dissatisfaction among Democratic voters with the U.S.'s ongoing military support for Israel, the House Democratic leadership has picked two foreign policy hawks — Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Florida) and Wesley Bell (D-Missouri) — to join the House Foreign Affairs Committee (HFAC), while also promoting an even worse hawk, Jared Moskowitz (D-Florida), to become a ranking member of the Middle East and North Africa subcommittee. 

In short, the Democratic leadership has chosen an ally of a right-wing Republican administration as the Democratic party's chief representative of a key subcommittee, despite his views on the Middle East conflicting with those of an overwhelming majority of Democrats. The appointment of Moskowitz in 2026 is essentially the equivalent of the Democratic leadership having in the 1980s appointed a supporter of the Salvadoran death squads, the Contra terrorists in Nicaragua, and the genocidal junta in Guatemala to the leadership of the Western Hemisphere subcommittee. 

Both the Republican and Democratic parties in Washington, D.C., appear willing to totally alienate their respective bases, thumb their noses at the Constitution and give the middle finger to the welfare, safety and security of the United States in order to ingratiate themselves to the Israel lobby and Benjamin Netanyahu.

Another recent example of this congressional treason is the passage of House Bill 4795. This bill prohibits institutions of higher education (IHEs) that participate in federal student aid programs from engaging in boycotts against Israel. The Bill is labeled: Protect Economic and Academic Freedom Act of 2026.

What a crock! As with most bills passed by Congress, the substance of the bill does the exact opposite of the name of the bill.

In the name of "freedom," anyone in our public colleges and universities who chooses to not purchase products from Israel will be denied federal student aid programs.

What about Great Britain, Germany, France, Spain, Italy or Canada? What if our colleges and universities choose to not purchase products from any of these countries? No problem! Federal student aid programs continue unabated. But don't you dare say you won't purchase something from Israel. For that, federal student aid programs are terminated.

The only two Republicans that voted against this imperious bill were Rep. Thomas Massie (Kentucky) and Rep. Warren Davidson (Ohio).

Don't tell me that the U.S. government is not bought and paid for by Israel. Are you kidding? Israel owns the U.S. government lock (Schumer), stock (Johnson) and barrel (Trump).

U.S. support for Israel's genocides in Gaza and Lebanon and Trump's subservience to Netanyahu in launching an unjust war of aggression against Iran are the culmination of presidential administrations from Bill Clinton to Trump who have groveled at the feet of the Israel lobby and in so doing have bankrupted (morally and financially) the United States, turned our U.S. armed forces into servile mercenaries for the Zionist state, taken our country to the precipice of global nuclear war on behalf of Israel, shredded the Constitution and Bill of Rights, made a mockery of justice and turned the U.S. president into a carnival barker for a deadly, genocidal Israeli circus.

I say again: Trump's war in Iran is not destroying Iran; it is destroying AMERICA.
