This is not 2016. It’s not even 2025. President Trump is clearly declining, physically, emotionally, and psychologically. It doesn’t matter if you love President Trump, or hate him, for the good of the nation, it is time to give serious consideration to encouraging President Trump to resign on his own, leaving on anything close to terms he gets to set.
If not, the damage to our country could be so profound that we may never recover, and that spans everything from the disintegration of NATO, to possible actions with a new war in Cuba, the fallout of the Venezuelan operation, and of course, the disasters in both Iran and Ukraine.
Trump is failing in everything he set out to do in this second term, and America is reeling under the consequences of his failures.
It doesn’t matter, democrat or Republican, or anything else. It is time for the good of the nation, for President Trump to resign.
True about the "rescued" pilot! I was looking forward to those heart-warming family reunion scenes where our hero tells us from his hospital bed how glad his kids are to have daddy back. Preferably, the kids would have been one of each and delightfully winsome.
Good article! There are lots of questions yet on how everything economic will unfold in the years to come but the "end of cheap" (compared to the last decades) seems pretty certain. Thanks, IJM!
Thank you for sharing these two links, aDoozy. I, too, received Laith Marouf's report video. He exemplifies fortitude in setting the truth into the public square; he also explains who make up the humanity of people of the Resistence: normal human beings + good neighbors + loving parents.....
Joanne, I am glad--and not surprised--that you subscribe to Free Palestine TV on Substack. I first saw Laith Marouf on Rachel Blevins' shows. He always offers a lot of detailed information. He is likeable, and I trust his fearless reporting from the battle zone. Pray for Laith and his staff's safety--Israel targets journalists.
Okay, I will pray for him and all of the journalists in battle zones---regretting that I hadn't already thought to do this; I have been praying Rosaries for the children born and unborn, their parents, sibling, cousins, grandparents, aunts and uncles (et alia) in Gaza, Syria, Iran, Lebanon, Russia, Ukraine, and actually also, the U.S.A. God help us all, aDoozy, I am a prayer partner with you, thankfully.
IJM, something very good happened today~someone listened to the truths I had to say about Israel, Netanyahu, Gaza, Lebanon, Iran, and Trump today! It was my 91 yr. old aunt--sharp as a tack--and she asked for details. She told me she had heard displeasure about Trump and Israel from a couple of people recently. This is a Christian lady who was all in for Trump, and who told me today that she used to be a supporter of Israel. I truly feel that the Lord opened this door for us to talk about facts today. God's light of truth!
I am blessed to be your prayer partner, Joanne. ♡ I had just read the title to the latest article from Drop Site News that came into my Inbox, then I read your good comment.
These poor people are going through hell on earth:
“You Either Leave Right Now or You Die”—Israel’s Ethnic Cleansing of a Village in Lebanon
Israeli soldiers went door to door in the border village of Ain Arab, forcing residents from their homes at gunpoint as part of a systematic campaign to empty large swathes of southern Lebanon.
I read the article, aDoozy, thank you for it. Sickend is the Israeli mind, and its superiority complex will be its downfall. The article described this mother's heartbreak---how much more can she bear?---the indignity to her person without cause...."same terminology as in Gaza" the author's words, brought my attention to the discussion, last week, between Tucker Carlson and English surgeon Dr. Nick Maynard, on the Israelis' desecration of the dignity of the Palestinian personhood in Gaza, West Bank, even in Jerusalem. I believe the horrors which the Doctor reported as personal lived experience-----https://tuckercarlson.com/live-show-may-27-2026
Thank you for the link to Tucker's talk with the surgeon. I will listen. I told my aunt today about being your prayer partner. She asked where I read news, and then I told her about the community we have here at Meaning in History. She is 91 and her eyesight is fading, but not her mind, nor her strong faith.
Tremendously sad... as it is anytime when what has been built over centuries in a civilization is torn down on purpose. With the Zionists this was predictable (IMO). Their aim is to tear down any historical remnants of independent civilizations in those lands they wish to dominate. They brutalize the people physically and mentally and also attempt to destroy their history and their spirit. This is sheer terrorism and a negation of all that is good, including God's love for his creation and the worth he places on human life.
Thank you, IJM, for how you exhibit the Holy Spirit through your faith, discernment, wisdom, intelligence, and heart. I appreciate your comments and your perspectives as expressed on MIH very much. Proverbs 3:5 and 4:23.
Beautifully written, your description of the tragedy that Israel has brought to other lands and peoples is accurate. Israel has been, and is, a purposeful destructor of God's beloved creation. Truly, Israel serves the prince of darkness.
We read about how Israel torments human beings that they hold captive, and who live on land they aim to conquer. We scream STOP! with our voices, keyboards, and in our prayers. I think that if the Zionist colony Israel can be stopped, squashed--whatever can happen here in this earthly world--much good can result. I continue to pray for peace, and I pray "Come Lord Jesus".
Iran would be among big "losers" in US long planned (since 2006) redraw of Middle East borders, per map in article, scroll down. US says to expect "birth pangs" in the process. Iran would lose land to “Free Kurdistan” in the west and “Free Baluchistan” in the east. “This map was prepared by Lieutenant-Colonel Ralph Peters. It was published in the Armed Forces Journal in June 2006.”…
Very enlightening and disturbing and sick and evil. It all is obviously still in play in the Middle East / West Asia. Thanks very much for posting this.
Yeah, I have often thought that Brzezenski might be the single most destructive foreign policy figure in U.S. history. But he has a lot of competition, especially from Kissinger on down through all the neocons in the Reagan and Bush admins. The very idea that the U.S. should be a hegemon (as a matter of principle) is contradictory to our history and structure; the idea that the U.S. could or should rule the world is an insult to reason.
Speaking to Sunni and Christian Lebanese, they’re tired of the Hezbollah rope around their necks.
I wouldn’t be surprised if there is high coordination between Israel and the Lebanese military, according to family members there the strikes have been very precise and inflicted significant damage to Hezbollah.
I remember Alex Vindman quite well. His twin brother Eugene was of course elected to congress in Nov. 2024 in Virginia's 7th CD....https://www.timesofisrael.com/democrat-whose-jewish-immigrant-story-featured-in-trump-impeachment-elected-to-congress/....Virginia CD 7 was once owned by "Republican leader" Eric Cantor for many years. To the shock of the world, open borders Cantor was defeated in June 2014 by unknown college professor David Brat. Brat was a gift from heaven but the establishment was enraged, redrew the district so Brat would lose next time. Now we have a Deep State warmonger. David Brat is often mistakenly described as a Tea Party candidate. This isn't true. The Tea Party ignored him, Jenny Beth Martin dismissed him, gave him not one penny. Mr. Brat won for 2 reasons: Laura Ingraham supported him, and local residents of CD 7 had worked every day for years to defeat pompous Cantor, knocked on doors for years.
Some of the most important information to come out today:
Bibi: "I spoke with President Trump tonight and told him that if Hezbollah does not stop attacking our cities and citizens, Israel will attack terrorist targets in Beirut.
"At the same time, the IDF will continue to operate as planned in southern Lebanon.
"Our position remains unchanged."
As usual, what Trump says happened and what really happened is very significantly divergent. How can we trust ANYTHING he says.

Hezbollah are defending Lebanon. What are the Sunnis, Christians and the Lebanese government doing?

G Galloway claimed it’s a bunch of POWs
Over three months now of non-stop drama and bs.
Does anyone know about the new bill Congress is to pass soon, about merging the 🇺🇸🇮🇱 militaries??
Seems unstoppable.
Is this a joke or some weird reality?
Massie and Ro Khanna pledge to get this merger deleted from the bill. Let's support them.
Thank-you Mr. Massie.
Doug MacGregor's response, call for Action:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GjgYdurDEmA
Most of the states in the world, including Israel, forbid dual-citizens in their government.
US Founders anticipated the problem and tried to foreclose it.
Americans must insiste on the SAME 'no dual citizens' protocol.
This is so confusing. Goodness, we all love Col Doug Macgregor. But, is he trying to indicate that the 'Don' has dual loyalty?
I'm very glad that Iran is getting tougher and clearer about Lebanon. Surely even the two lunatics know that they mean what they say by now.
Hezbollah and Iran together are really making the IDF pay for their graft in Lebanon. They are ready to take it back and hold it.
Yep. I hope Putin is watching and learning.
This like a ping pong match.
Now Bibi says I spoke to the President and here is the deal
.
https://x.com/i/status/2061531248573460655

Thanks VERY MUCH for this post!
I doubt American prisoners.
Swag:
- continuation of the hot war was costing Israel too much and hurting Trumps polling.
- Israel wanted time to deal with Lebanon, without Irans attacks.
- Trump has been sold that Iran is on edge of collapse any day, and he just needs to wait.
Maybe no prisoners frim Ishafan debacle, as Iran was unlikely to conceal them for this long.
I believe that significant casualties were taken and there was no " pilot"
