On August 6, 1974, Democrats and their allies in the Mainstream media (\u201cMSM\u201d) succeeded in getting rid of Richard Nixon. They couldn\u2019t defeat him in an election; he won re-election by a landslide. Instead, they put all their time and effort into prosecuting him for something that really didn\u2019t matter. Some of his staff decided it would be great fun to burglarize the DNC headquarters at the Watergate hotel. They didn\u2019t need to do this. Nixon didn\u2019t ask them to do this. He didn\u2019t even know it was happening. But he stupidly tried to help them cover this up. Probably because he knew the MSM would turn this into the crime of the century. They didn\u2019t turn that botched burglary into the crime of the century, but with the cooperation of RINO Republicans, they turned covering it up into the crime of the century. Nixon resigned in disgrace. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Unfortunately, the cost of removing Richard Nixon was losing the Vietnam war. A war he had won. He had secured a cease fire with the North Vietnamese and if the U.S. had helped South Vietnam stay strong, South Vietnam would look like South Korea today. Instead, the minute Gerald Ford replaced Nixon, Democrat cut off all funding for the war and refused to even provide South Vietnam with the means to defend itself. In doing so, they cast the sacrifices of everyone who fought in Vietnam, including me, on the scrap heap of history. Predictably North Vietnam seized the day and invaded the South by driving down paved roads, virtually unopposed. The results were beyond horrific. We will never know how many people were killed in South Vietnam. We do know that millions died in Cambodia. We also know that many of the Vietnamese people you see in the U.S. today had to escape Vietnam by desperate boat escapes. The stories of what these people endured are beyond horrific. One reason this impacts me so much is that because I speak Vietnamese, many of them told me their stories, because I was usually the only American, they knew who could understand them. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Now, Democrats, aided by their fawning friends in the MSM, are once again desperate to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory and for the exact same reason. They hated Richard Nixon. In many ways this is remarkably similar to how they hate Donald Trump. The hatred of Richard Nixon cost us the Vietnam war. If Democrats win in November, they hope to do the exact same thing to Donald Trump. The inevitable result would be losing the war with Iran.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The United Staes has defeated Iran. It is now only a matter of time. The United States had defeated North Vietnam. I was listening to the North Vietnamese Army (\u201cNVA\u201d) on the radio and reading top secret reports. They knew they could not defeat the U.S. Then they noticed the anti-war protests in the U.S. They suddenly realized they didn\u2019t need to win; they just needed to delay losing and continue to cause U.S. casualties. They believed American was weak and would eventually decide the war Democrats had started wasn\u2019t worth it anymore and just quit. If Lyndon Johnson had been re-elected or Hubert Humphrey elected to take his place, that is EXACTLY what would have happened. But incredibly Richard Nixon won, and he quickly changed from the failed strategy of the Johnson Administration to focusing on winning the war and securing peace. He did exactly that. But Democrats and the MSM were more to focused on humiliating the Richard Nixon they hated to notice or even care. Vietnam was not a civil war, it was a communist invasion and defeating communism was vital to our national interests. <\/strong><\/p>\n

The results of losing the Vietnam war were beyond catastrophic. The results of losing the Iran war could threaten mankind. If Iran got a nuclear weapon, it would use it. That would almost certainly set off World War III. And the two choices would be surrendering the world to Muslim extremism, or nuclear war. If anyone thinks climate change or runaway AI threatens mankind, consider what would happen if there was a nuclear war. Millions of people would be killed, and considerable portions of the earth would become uninhabitable.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Everyone; Republicans, Democrats, Independents, and the Mainstream Media should understand this. Hatred for Donald Trump is not an excuse for ignoring the national security interests involved. If Democrats and the MSM united behind Trump, as they should do during a time of national crisis, the Iran war would be over in days. Instead, Iran, like North Vietnam, is gambling that if they can just delay long enough, Democrats in their lust to destroy Donald Trump, will snatch defeat from the jaws of victory without regard to the consequences. Consequences that are too horrible to even contemplate.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The good news it that it looks very unlikely that Democrats will take control of the Senate. This means even if they take control of the House, Trump will remain in office, Iran will be defeated, and the world will be a safer plan. The MSM is desperately trying to help Democrats win the midterms. Iran is trying desperately to help Democrats win the midterms. China is trying desperately to help Democrats win the midterms. Russia is trying desperately to help Democrats win the midterms. That should terrify anyone considering voting for a Democrat, but sadly far too many people are oblivious to what\u2019s at stake. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Donald Trump is not perfect, and his self-glorification act is growing old. But he will be out of office in a little over two years and will become a lame duck President long before he leaves office. While he trolls Democrats and the MSM with suggestions he will run for a third term in 2028, there is zero chance of that happening. For one thing, he isn\u2019t physically capable of doing that. If Democrats were smart, they would do the same thing to him that they did to George H.W. Bush. Bush defeated Iraq and was immensely popular. But Democrats defeated him in the 1992 election with Bill Clinton, a mediocre if not failed governor of Arkansas. They defeated him by convincing Americans that they needed to vote for change. Sadly, there is a long history of Americans voting for change, with disastrous results.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We may be spared. Not by Donald Trump. Not by the Republican Party. Certainly not by the MSM. We may be spared by the incredible stupidity of a Democratic Party that has let itself be taken over by left wing, and in some cases communists, who are out of touch with the vast majority of Americans. They don\u2019t care because all they care about is power. Not the power to do good, not the power to protect the country, not the power to defend our democracy, not the power to defend our friend, just power. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Hold your breath. The threat from climate change is not real. The threat from AI is a hoax. The threat from the Democrat Party dominated by Democratic Socialists of America, should terrify everyone.<\/strong><\/p>\n
