In this segment, I begin with a personal story, a recent experience that left my thoughts about the urban Black culture validated beyond any doubt. We then address the current US and Israeli military action in Iran, which is increasingly seeing Iran pitted against not only the US and Israel, but their brethren Islamic nations in the Middle East; China and Russia, for the most part, silent.

And lastly, I address the complete misrepresentation of Kristi Noem’s move to Special Presidential Envoy to Shield of the America’s. A more perfect example of how the Republicans suck at crafting the narrative has seldom been seen.

We take up this issue…at The Corner of the Bar.

In closing, I wanted to touch on a news item that validates my concern about Republican voter turnout in the midterms.

In the primaries in Texas and North Carolina, Democrats–or those voting for Democrats–turned out to vote in greater numbers than did Republicans. In Texas, this happened even with a heated primary for John Cornyn’s seat. In North Carolina, a Democrat whose campaign literature had her dressed in a burqa, won a Republican primary seat because she went unopposed in that race.

This type of apathy on the political Right is not going to win the midterms. And what is really shocking is that both these turnout defeats came in traditionally Red states.

I can’t express how unacceptable this is. Additionally, I can’t express more urgently how we need to turn out, not just for the midterms and the general elections, but for every single election from dog catcher to President. It’s about momentum. It’s about sending the undeniable signal that we are here, haven’t gone anywhere, and are committed to the cause.

As it stands, we are not committed to the cause, which means a bolstered Democrat opposition. When we don’t turn out, Democrats and their Marxist handlers see that as a signal of things to come, and it supercharges their commitment to turnout.

Why is turnout important? Why is sending a consistent signal to the Far-Left that we are committed to the cause so fucking important? Because the Marxist-Left is playing the long game. They believe they can wait out Trump’s four years and then pounce at the polls. We need to send clear messages at every opportunity that this is not the case; that we haven’t gone anywhere, and that our numbers are solid and growing.

What’s hanging in the balance? Free speech and freedom to practice your religion. The possibility (if Congress ever gets off its lazy asses and codifies Trump’s spending cuts into law) of a reduced deficit and a balanced budget. The continuation of a solid jobs market. Lower inflation (which means a stronger dollar for you and me). Secure borders and freedom from the oppressive far-Left agenda and all things DEI. We will return to the big government of the oligarchic elite and will be governed not by our elected representatives, but by the globalist crowd, seething for vengeance, as Susan Rice arrogantly guaranteed.

This is why turning out is so damn important. There are no insignificant races because all politics is local. Turning out for the midterms is an absolute must. Make an unbreakable vow to yourself today to vote in the midterms, and make sure your family and friends of like mind do the same. No more celebrating the 2024 election. If MAGA is going to mean anything beyond the Trump years, we must focus on 2026 and 2028. Otherwise, it’s all been a flash-in-the-pan exercise in political masturbation.

In this segment, we take on all things Iran. After the successful, and quite frankly long overdue, dispatching of Ayatollah Khamenei and his orc inner-circle, the Iranian people now have the best chance at freedom they have had since the hostile takeover of their country by the Islamic hoard.

So, it’s astonishing to me how anyone, anywhere in the world, but for the oppressors themselves, could take issue with freeing an oppressed people from 47 years of tyranny. Yet, the far-Left in the United States, who today rule over a concubine rank-and-file Democrat Party, have staked out the position that the use of US military might, in partnership with the Israelis, is somehow unconstitutional and should never have happened.

Let’s highlight this position a bit. These sanctimonious jagoffs have embraced the idea that the world is better off with the Iranian people oppressed and the chief financiers of terrorism around the world goose-stepping toward weapons-grade uranium. Somehow, in their dehydrated pea-sized brains, they believe that being on the right side of history is supporting a tyrannical regime that stones women, throws gay people off of rooftops, mows down protesters crying for freedom with machinegun fire, and calls for genocide against the United States and Israel every fucking Friday.

As evil as the Ayatollah was–and as evil as those clinging to power over in Iran are right now, we have to consider the very real possibility that those who support them are also evil. That puts the American far-Left and the woke-minded around the world in that category without reservation.

You cannot claim the moral high ground on anything if you stand arm in arm with the Ayatollah’s corpse.

We take up this issue…at The Corner of the Bar.

Now is the time to support the Persian people of Iran. They are not Islamic. They are not Arab. They are Persian, with a rich history and a kinship to the West. Now is the time to pressure your elected officials to stand down on any stupid attempt to impede President Trump’s power over the US Military. The Iranian people–those who have taken their lives into their hands by being brave enough to take to the streets to demand freedom–we simply cannot let them down again.

And speaking of elected officials, I will say this again and again and again and again: If Republicans, conservatives, center-right independents, and those who love freedom and liberty do not show up at the polls for the midterms, we will turn a corner that will usher in an era that will leave us begging for the Obama-Biden years.

As I’ve noted previously, free speech and freedom to practice your religion will be cast to the ash heap. Federal spending will explode worse than it already has, and because of that, your dollar will become worthless. Jobs will vanish. Inflation will soar. The borders will reopen. And all things oppressive and DEI will return, not as movements, but as the law of the land. We will return to the oppressive and stifling government of the oligarchic elite and will be governed not by our elected representatives, but by the globalist crowd, seething for vengeance (as Susan Rice guaranteed), and will be the new serfs to their mastery.

This is why turning out for the midterms is an absolute must. Make a promise to yourself today to vote in the midterms, and make sure all your family and friends of like mind do the same. No more “Hooray, we won in 2024! MAGA, MAGA, MAGA!” It’s time to focus on 2026. The future of our Republic demands it.
