Those of us lucky enough to have received an education rather than an indoctrination think of our nation’s Founding Fathers as serious men on a mission. History books are filled with their grand achievements, their deep thoughts, boldness, courage and their vision for a new nation.

That particular association of the Founders regarding their gravitas has been made more compelling through paintings and etchings depicting them as very serious fellows, but there are things about them that while true, seem to have been glossed over unless one is willing to take a deeper dive into their…quirkiness.

Let’s start at the top with the Father of our Country – George Washington.

We all know that certain presidents have been known to spout off from time to time. Harry S. Truman reportedly had no problem calling a “son-of-a-bitch” a “son-of-a-bitch,” and both LBJ and Nixon were widely known to use colorful language, but a deep dive into our first president reveals the man had an explosive temper and a short fuse. He was also, reportedly, fond of swearing.

“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.

Operation Let Them Talk

Every time a prominent liberal opens their pie-hole, what comes out is pure rubbish, propaganda or nonsense which prompts those on the right to label them as idiots. It’s a fair assessment. For the most part, it is accurate and an apt description of the mental acuity of said liberals.

Some on the right wish the prominent liberals, be they from the media, Hollywierd or the halls of congress would just sit down and shut the hell up, but I believe that would be a mistake.

Operation Let Them Talk, simply put, could well be the best thing for those on the right side of the political aisle who seek election. Day in, and day out, the liberals are creating political ads for 2026, and 2028…for Republican candidates.

Let me give you a few examples.

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.

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.

Brute Force and Common Sense

So, the war against the terrorist regime of Iran has been ongoing now for nearly two months and despite the loss of their navy, their air force, most of their ability to target our bombers and the loss of better than 50 of their regime leaders, Iran continues to make one absurd claim after another, most of which revolve around how they haven’t been hurt, and are still a strong power in the region.

They’re not.

They know it.

We know it,

And they know that we know it.

For the past 47 years, the Iranian regime has been chanting “Death to America” and “Death to Israel,” and they have insisted that they are at war with both America and Israel. In act, those have been more than just words as the terrorist regime’s actions have killed thousands of both Americans and Israelis. Israel has, up until now, always responded to the constant attacks against the Jewish state and the Jewish people coming from Iran or their proxies in a bigger tit for a smaller tat sort of way, but October 7^th, 2023 changed that.

What I’m about to suggest will, no doubt, set liberal’s hair on fire, and it will probably rankle more than a few on the right side of the political aisle as well but I’ve been watching Operation Epic Fury and Operation Rising Lion pretty closely, and I think things are about to change.

So far, this military action has been a strategic stroke of brilliance. It’s been a unique blend of coordinated attacks between our military and that of Israel relying on the greatest collection of intel ever assembled between the CIA and Mossad. The rapid but well-measured attacks that started with stand-off strikes that took out the Iranian regime’s top leaders in the first 30 seconds of action and decimated Iran’s command and control headquarters within the first 48 hours, followed by the steady destruction of Iran’s navy and air force.

As targets related to Iran’s missile and drone capabilities were identified, they too were blasted into oblivion while Iranian regime replacements, and the replacements for the replacements were systematically eliminated either in groups, or one by one.

Liberal Loons and the Grumpy Gremlin

Posted on March 22, 2026 by Craig Andresen

As the situation in Iran continues to unfold, everybody seems focused on the pounding the regime there has been taking for the past three weeks and rightly so. The constant bombardment by U.S. and Israeli forces makes lots of noise, and Iranian regime leaders are falling faster than Joe Biden on a set of stairs.

Sure, Iran still has some fight left in them, at least they say they do. Iran’s navy has been sunk. Their air force has been blown to bits. The regime’s command and control centers have been virtually wiped out. Iranian air defense is in a shambles.

The Iranian stockpiles of missiles are being blasted out of existence. Their missile launchers have been clobbered, and their fleets of drones are being picked off.

Iran’s military installations on Kharg Island are smoldering, and their ability to launch attacks against their neighboring nations has been cut by 80-90 percent. Even their military production factories have been bombed back to the stoneage.

Liberals are tripping all over themselves rushing to the nearest microphone or social media platform to rant, rave and froth at the mouth regarding the military action against Iran.

Liberals, be they elected, or members of the propaganda media or garden-variety liberals on social media are claiming that they have no idea what the “objective” of the action against Iran is, or that the Trump administration has offered conflicting justifications for it. These liberals are quite frankly…feigning ignorance. In the video below, Scott Jennings answers the CNN panel’s questions clearly, but notice the smugness and fake claims of not understanding why what’s happening is happening.
