Where’s Waldo and Weapons of War

Posted on August 9, 2026 by Craig Andresen

By Craig Andresen – The National Patriot – Commentary

Over the past couple of weeks, and over the past several months, two questions regarding certain aspects of the war with Iran have continued to crop up. Both are rather interesting questions, and both seem to have complex answers.

No, I’m not talking about why we’re doing this, that or the other thing, or for that matter, why we’re not doing this, that or the other thing. These questions are a bit more eclectic…perhaps more on the ethereal side of things but one thing is certain, both involve conspiracies…and corresponding theorists.

Let’s just be honest, if it’s in the news, its fodder for conspiracy theorists and that’s nothing new. Conspiracy theories have been around since ancient times and have been centerpieces of civil, and not so civil debate from watering holes to water coolers. Anything that’s unknown automatically lends itself to unending chatter, and even some things that are verifiable facts become the subject of those who simply refuse to accept facts as facts.

In the latter category – the Earth is round. It is NOT flat, but that hasn’t stopped the Reynolds Wrap cap crowd from proclaiming we round Earthers and full of beans. Here’s the question they just can’t answer…IF the Earth IS flat, what’s on the underneath side of it? I ask because regardless of how flat one makes a pancake, it still has two sides.

The Iran War – Options vs. Alternatives Part 2

The strategy employed by the U.S. against the Iranian regime should be pretty clear by now except to some critics of President Trump who are getting close to stage 3 TDS. The strategy, as I have said many times, is to use our military to cut the Iranian regime off from the one thing they need the most…money…while systematically eliminating remaining targets that threaten not only our military, but Iran’s Arab State neighbors, shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, and potential ground operations that may well be coming soon against the IRGC.

Evidence that the strategy is working can easily be found if one pays attention to reports, not only from our military, CENTCOM or our media, but also from more unlikely sources like Iran itself.

Sure, there are those who are fit to be tied over pauses in the action, and over “negotiating” with the enemy, but I believe that those who have adopted the talking points of the IRGC, in that “The U.S. is losing the war,” or that “Trump is a fool and doesn’t know what he’s doing,” would rather continue to virtue-signal their own personal armchair quarterback belief that they could do better if they, not President Trump were running the show.

As for the most recent “pause” for so-called “negotiations,” just over a week ago, it wasn’t President Trump, nor was it Steve Witkoff or Jared Kushner who suggested it, rather it was Admiral Bradley Cooper, Commander of the United States Central Command (CENTCOM) who advised it and for a very interesting reason…the U.S. military had run out of targets related to the Strait of Hormuz. This isn’t to suggest that Iran has nothing remaining with which to threaten shipping, just that the IRGC hasn’t exposed any of what they may have left or where they’ve been hiding it for about a week.

Socialism – The DNC’s Master Plan

Socialism. It doesn’t work. Anywhere. It never has and it never will, but today’s liberal knotheads in the U.S. claim that it just hasn’t been done the right way.

Here’s a hint…there is no “right way” to drop an anvil on your foot so that it doesn’t leave you wishing you hadn’t done it.

For those chirping about how different socialism is from communism and trying to claim that Republicans and Conservatives don’t know the difference between them, we do, and we also know that socialism, according to Marxist theory, is the transitional phase immediately following the overthrow of capitalism. During this stage, the “working class” controls the state and economy, eventually paving the way for a fully realized, stateless, and classless communist society.

I put quotation marks around “working class” for a reason and I’ll get back to that shortly.

“The Deal” – Pragmatism vs. Emotionalism

A pragmatist is a person who approaches problems, decisions, and beliefs based on practical, real-world results rather than abstract theories, ideals, or emotions.

When it comes to the Middle East, there is no shortage of emotional responses, theories and ideals. I understand those points of view and while I certainly do NOT agree with such emotional anti Semitic views as expressed by the vast majority of the liberals, I DO stand with Israel, the Jewish people and Prime Minister Netanyahu.

Netanyahu has wisely stated, “If Israel’s enemies put down their weapons today, there would be peace, If Israel put down her weapons today, there would be no Israel.” That is a very pragmatic view. It is based in historical reality. Since 1948 when Israel officially became a nation, they have wanted to live peacefully with their neighbors, but the fact remains, Israel’s neighbors have, for the most part, wanted Israel eliminated.

The Caregiver’s Revenge

After 4 very long years of the Joe Biden occupancy of the Oval Office, after 4 very long years of nonsensical yarns blathered by the dazed and confused Joe Biden, after 4 very long years of watching Joe Biden stumbling, bumbling, falling on stairs, falling off his bike and wandering aimlessly about the White House lawn…what I’m about to get into should come as no great surprise.

After the whole world saw Biden shaking hands with invisible people…time and time again, after the whole world listened while Biden related a conversation he had had with an Amtrak Conductor years after that Conductor had died, a story Joe told time and time again, after the whole world watched creepy Joe sniffing girl’s hair…time and time again and listening while the old dolt related a yarn about his uncle being EATEN BY CANNIBALS…what I’m about to get into certainly isn’t breaking news.

In 2020, Joe Biden campaigned from his basement, and when he was allowed out of his habitat, crowds were, at best, sparse, comprised of 10’s of people, and Joe wasn’t allowed to talk to the press. But he supposedly got 81 million votes.

Uh-huh.

The Forensic Flogging of a Dead Horse

An autopsy is a surgical procedure that consists of a thorough examination of a corpse by dissection to determine the cause, mode, and manner of death; or the exam may be performed to evaluate any disease or injury that may be present for research or educational purposes.

Sometimes, an autopsy isn’t really necessary if one simply employs common sense.

Here’s an example…let’s say that someone in early 2022 goes skydiving, jumps out of a perfectly functional airplane at 12 thousand feet, and that person’s parachute fails to deploy. Now, common sense would lead one to believe that it wasn’t the fall, rather the sudden stop at the end of it which was the cause of death. However, liberals would have listed that skydiver’s cause of death, after an autopsy, as being directly related to COVID-19.

The recently released autopsy report regarding Kamala Harris and the sudden stop experienced at the end of her 2024 campaign, is no less insane.

Gaslighting vs. The Receipts

Last week, just 24 hours after the third assassination attempt against President Trump, Barack Hussein Obama, seeing that liberal propagandists were losing to the clear facts, decided to weigh in with what sure appeared to be a last-ditch effort to to bolster the liberal litany of lies.

Obama claimed that the shooter’s motive was…unclear.

There was just one tiny problem…Cole Thomas Allen’s manifesto, the shooters own written words regarding his motive, had been released to the public nearly 10 hours earlier. Perhaps Obama didn’t get the memo…nobody outside violent bought and paid for activists and homicidal maniacs are buying the crap he’s trying to sell.

Cole Thomas Allen laid out all the liberal talking points and marching orders…a laundry list of absolute bullcrap…the same bullcrap so prevalent amongst those suffering from stage 4 Trump Derangement Syndrome removing all doubt as to his motivation and from where he got it. It was already in the public forum, but there was Obama, trying as liberals so often do to tell us that the words actually written by the shooter didn’t mean what they clearly meant.

I’m sick of having to cover these stories, and I’m livid over what we now know regarding the perpetrator of yet another assassination attempt on the life of President Donald Trump. I’m sick and tired of what has led up to this, and I’m beyond pissed at those who either try to downplay it, dismiss it or excuse it.

Enough!!

Last Saturday evening, President Trump was making his first appearance at the White House Correspondent’s Dinner at the Washington Hilton. Over the past couple of weeks, since President Trump made the announcement that he would indeed attend the event, the first time has decided to do so, liberals…be they garden variety liberals, elected liberals or liberal members of the propaganda media did what they always do…they pitched a fit.

In the days leading up to the annual event, 250 members of the liberal propaganda media were urging a “forceful” protest or boycott of the event. And their reasoning for urging a liberal propaganda media boycott of the annual White House Correspondent’s Dinner? Because, according TO those members of the liberal propaganda media, “Trump contradicts the event’s purpose,” asserting that, “Trump is an enemy of free speech.”

Really?

The Clock is Ticking…What Comes Next?

Op-ed / Commentary By: Craig Andresen and Diane Sori / Right Side Patriots

On February 28^th, 2026, President Donald Trump began what no U.S. President had the courage to do over the past 47 years – he began military action against the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism, Iran. In concert with Israel, over the past two months, the radical Islamic regime’s military assets have been pounded into the dirt, pounded to the bottom of the sea, and eliminated from the air. The ranks of the regime’s leadership have been decimated, and their ability to continue striking Israel, their neighbors and U.S. forces has been severely weakened, but not completely eliminated.

Likewise, the Iranian regime’s ability to rearm, resupply and finance their proxy armies has also been severely damaged, but not completely eliminated, and the regime’s hold over the Strait of Hormuz, which they rely upon for shipping oil, their primary source of income has slipped away and is now all but controlled by the U.S. and a naval blockade.

But this war is not over. Unless and until whatever remains of the Iranian regime has been driven out…out of power, out of Iran and/or permanently eliminated, the threat to Israel, the Middle East, Europe and indeed to the United States still exists.

Here is the problem – The War Powers Resolution.

A Week of Astonishing Absurdity

Last week, in the wake of a Truth post from President Trump showing an obviously AI created rendering of Trump as a Jesuseque figure, liberals suddenly found religion and rushed to the nearest camera, microphone or social media platform to show their disgust over a man they hate connecting himself to a religion they find disgusting.

Remember Obama was in San Franfreakshow in April, 2008, talking about unemployment in Pennsylvania and the Midwest and said, “And it’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy toward people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.” That set the stage for the past two decades of liberal hatred of Christianity.

To be fair, liberals don’t really like the Jews any more then they like the Christians, but they really hate the Christians most likely because Jesus was Jewish.
