They got a call from the joint chiefs saying cut it out or die.

The Iranians knew Reagan meant business which is why they released the hostages hours after his inaugeration in January 1981. They know Trump means business too and won’t tolerate their aggression like Obama did. Those days are over and our credibility in the world has been restored.

The phrase “Fire a will!” comes to mind.

That should be your tagline!
Like this (because of limited space)
“MAGA-and scaring the crap out of everyone else.”

They are not behaving like idiots - to say that is to vastly underestimate the intent of the Iranian military. The mullahs want nothing less than the total extinction of the human race (aka, to bring every one to Paradise).

That is why they want nuclear weapons - they do not care how many of them die, as long as many die - its their version of the Shia Islam - blood and more blood - they are not called the ‘mad mullahs’ for no reason - they are totally insane. A handful of Tomahawks is of no consequence to them.

Silkworms are a Chinese anti-ship missiles. And they have lots of them.

When you have a Secretary of Defense who goes by the name of Gen. James “Mad Dog” Mattis, and some of his notable quotes include:

“You go into Afghanistan, you got guys who slap women around for five years because they didn't wear a veil. You know, guys like that ain't got no manhood left anyway. So it's a hell of a lot of fun to shoot them. Actually it's quite fun to fight them, you know. It's a hell of a hoot. It's fun to shoot some people. I'll be right up there with you. I like brawling.”

“I’m going to plead with you, do not cross us. Because if you do, the survivors will write about what we do here for 10,000 years.”

“Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everybody you meet.”

“You are part of the world's most feared and trusted force. Engage your brain before you engage your weapon.”

When that is the guy at the end of the chain of command, just before Trump, you have to understand that crossing him and picking some kind of fight is just not going to turn out well.

They simply want to live.

It is no longer safe to threaten US Naval vessels.

Those little speedboats make entertaining targets as it is, and now the boys have new laser toys they are itching to try out.

We will not be having any more of the Obama-era nonsense, where the Iranian regime was allowed to survive, after taking American Sailors prisoner, and publicly humiliating them, and the United Sates.

It is now the Mullah's day in the barrel.

Speaking about Iran, notice how the anti-government protests were snuffed out? Not a peep heard now.

Yeah, when the mouthy #Resistance pussy-hatters on Twitter were tweeting that picture of the young Iranian woman who was waving her removed hijab around, I knew that wasn't going to end well for her.

And now she has "disappeared", like the Tiananmen Square tank guy...

“There’s a new Sheriff in town. Goes by the name of Trump.”

Thanks be to God!

I thank God EVERY day that I do not have to see the words, “President Clinton” on the television and hearing her tell me what’s wrong with me and my line of thinking.
