Ecclesiastes 10:12 KJB The words of a wise man's mouth are gracious; but the lips of a fool will swallow up himself. [13]The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness: and the end of his talk is mischievous madness. [14]A fool also is full of words: a man cannot tell what shall be; and what shall be after him, who can tell him? [15]The labour of the foolish wearieth every one of them, because he knoweth not how to go to the city.

Let's be real: Trump is a pawn and a puppet. The world is a stage and he is out here doing his best acting job. The "ceasefire", for example, was fake: Iranian officials and media called him a liar almost immediately and continued to fire missiles as did Israel. And then he gets up and drops an F-bomb. Come on, friends, let's not buy into these theatrics.

Trump is a grand stander and very much into himself. He really believes he controls the world.

In reality, he’s setting us up for big fall. War is hell and Leo’s right when he says we won’t be able to keep up with the Chinese and Russians.

In my humble opinion, we are going to be the ones obliterated. God doesn’t appreciate our thumb wagging on our noses, in his face. I’m not so sure we’ll fare very well, at all.

My thinking is that the U.S. will be a byword and no longer a superpower. We have our own difficulties and are on the verge of civil war. It’s impossible to tackle several fronts at the same time, especially when you have enemies all around you.

You can say, “God bless America”

all you want, but God doesn’t bless those who curse him. We have been working against God’s ways for a very long time in this country.

It’s time to pay the piper.

Worth repeating:

Trump has fought the deep state corrupt bastards all his life and won every time and still is. There's more real force of change behind him than anyone else has had in 150 years! Anyone too ignorant to really know the real moves being made against the deep state right now aren't even smart enough to be part of the real conversation about what's really going on. This and all the other dumb, bad mouthing, clowns out there are the ones that help stupid people believe all the fake news. They will all be remembered and have the permanent title of "dipsh!t" tattooed on their life forever as the real events unfold and the truth comes out. Poor bastards one and all. There will never be another time like this where people will be more ashamed of their lack of understanding of how this hidden War on Corruption transpires (to become known; to escape from secrecy) and changes everything in the coming months.

Remember, God gives Trump what he has. Trump is the head of a country who has snubbed God on many occasions. Trump himself has endorsed gayness. Melania has raised over $1.5 million for the gay cause. She also endorses abortion. If I were Trump, I would be very careful.

Another perfect example of not keeping up. Since nobody bothers to remember why the gay nightclub shooting in Florida in 2016 that killed 49 people collapsed in the news I'll remind you. The deep state imploded the story AFTER Gays for Guns exploded in the news pushing for the exact opposite effect that the deep state wanted to use the gay agenda for! Who the hell do you want those people voting for?! The lunatic gun hating Democrat side?! F*** NO! You want them to be voting AGAINST THEM!! You point everyone at the real deep state enemies then watch them find a place to hide. In a War on Corruption in Government you want EVERY Ally you can get! If you want to live in reality, you better find it while you still can.

I'm disappointed in the mention of Douglas Macgregor. He is a blatant anti-Semite, called Confederate soldiers traitors, and claimed that Iran had destroyed 1/3rd of Tel Aviv. He lies. Have detested the man for a long time as I've watched him over the years and he never fails to state falsehoods.

Actually Kelleigh Nelson, I too was disappointed for Leo Hohmann to cite Douglas Macgregor. It seems all of Macgregor's political assessments are circular in logic. And yes Macgregor's anti-Semitism is glaring.

I'm sure Tucker Carlson and Macgregor enjoyed getting together for an interview since both of them are "glaring" antisemites, and now Marjorie Taylor Greene as well. What is wrong with these people? Tom Sowell talked about it, and like one of my friends said, many people are jealous of our Jewish friends as the majority are always upwardly mobile. Of course, like every other group, there are great, good, and then bad...I'm not fond of Schumer, Nadler, Schiff and others, nor the squad and not that Crockett whack job. I was raised in a Jewish neighborhood in Chicago, all my friends were Jewish, I babysat for Jewish families, and I loved them all, and I was never taught they were any different than us. So, when I see Macgregor mentioned, I always grimace.

You writers sure do think highly of yourselves. The guy ends the war, ends the developing nuclear threat every other president has failed to do for 30 years, involves no troops, kills no citizens, didn’t invade or colonize or nation-build or tie up the oil for ourselves, and even appears to be taking Iran forward into a new future, opening oil trade for them with china already.

And half of your article is full of critiques, slight remarks, outright complaints, and tales of impending doom if such and such erratic blah blah continues.

The man gets unbelievable results and you a-holes spend all day telling everyone how you could do it better. It’s flat out guarantee you’d wet your pants dealing with these international thugs! And everyone knows it!

It’s like the worst form of keyboard warrior imaginable. Gross.

Trump gave the green light for our attack dog Israel to do a sneak attack on Iran during the midst of negotiations. A very despicable act on his part by any measure. The US/Israel figured Iran to be a push-over but instead they kicked a hornet's nest. Israel deservedly got badly stung and now licking their wounds. Meanwhile, Trump congratulates himself on his delusion of "victory". It's almost cartoonish to watch if it hadn't been so murderous and depraved.

This war is NOT over by a long shot. No way. Resistance to the US/Israel's aggression is now emboldened by an order of magnitude as they see we're not invincible. And Trump and his deep state bosses plan to destroy Iran on any pretext. Once they finish destroying Iran, they have other countries they intend to destroy. It's in the policy papers our elite think tanks have written for decades. Our military-industrial complex thrives on war and they want profits that comes from constant warring. We haven't won a war since 1945, nor do our leaders ever intend to. Don't you know anything about the history of US foreign relations?

Trump and Biden both thoroughly destroyed our nation's reputation as honorable, trust-worthy, rational and law-abiding. The rest of the world is appalled by our Nazi-like behavior on the world's stage. Some day will be retribution for all our nation's deceit, knavery, corruption and cruelty around the globe. The storm clouds are gathering.

Worship this deceiver if you wish and believe all his self-serving propaganda if it comforts you, but one day you will experience the abyss he and his ilk are leading us into. Hope you don't have young male relatives that could be drafted to fight in yet another asinine war. And related to all that, think about how exorbitant the price of your groceries are now compared to 20-30 years ago. You're paying for all the warmongering nonsense and it's going to get worse.

I see events completely differently now. Actually, the production was so badly produced that I should think the blinders are off many people now or certainly many are entertaining severe doubts.

The entire production is a staged event called in Western societies a "play." A fiction.

Does anyone anywhere think that a rational response to being bombed by another country, when said bombed country has a multitude and vast array of bombs for retaliation, is to (1) tell the country who bombed you that you’re going to retaliate and (2) tell them where and how much munitions you’ll use?

Does this behavior sound or look like natural human nature? This is the biggest tip-off that we’re dealing with a script. These are actors or players, and they’re following a script.

Does anyone think that, after previous negotiations were engaged and a country subsequently bombed during those negotiations, a country would continue negotiations AGAIN within a day or two? Think. Of course not!! The Iranians are not stupid people. They’re following a script.

Oh…the story’s good. Death to America!! Death to Israel!!! However, actions tell us that they won’t respond to defend themselves as would be normally expected.

If you’re attacked each time you leave your home, wouldn’t you take the necessary actions to have the attacks stopped? It’s human nature, folks. This isn’t hard to understand. It simply requires being honest with ourselves. We tend to mislead ourselves by overvaluing some evidence while devaluing other. All evidence must be equally rated.

The truth of the matter is that the Financial Transnational Oligarchs, who run this world via their corporations; insider contractual agreement; and financial organizations like the IMF, don’t want Iran bombed. Iran is encouraged, through their emissaries, to respond as they have and to endure Israeli bombing. This philosophy, purportedly also followed by Putin, is called "low and slow." Try to destroy the least you can. The "war" is always on simmer. Infrastructure is valuable. Oligarchs are practical people. Why destroy a country which represents the most advanced technology outside of Israel? They’ll need that infrastructure to expand into Iran and capture their assets and resources while opening up their corridor to the East.

Trump is so valued by a particular branch of the Oligarch Family because the American people genuinely like him. He likes people, and they like him. He’s brought significant change already to America which a good majority of people want and like—me included. What better man through which to advance their agenda? P.S. Much of those issues, too, are narratives.

I don't think narratives are either to like or not. I think narratives are to be seen as controlled thought patterns designed to govern our behavior and mental construct of the world. Once a narrative is identified, it ceases to have power over us.

As a person, I still like Trump. Is he a narrative unto himself? Yep. I think so. I can like him but not believe in the narrative.

I am still disgusted by Bibi Netanyahu's behavior toward the citizens of Israel in 2021. Something you did an excellent job reporting on, Leo. I don't remember any of the other sources I followed at the time mentioning it. Except for a few videos on Rumble and RFK's website for children where tearful Israeli's lamented their iatrogenic injuries and how their own government was treating them in such a brutal, authoritarian manner. This no more makes me anti-Semitic or anti-Israel than being disgusted with Justin Trudeau makes me anti-Canadian.

My guess? I could be wrong, but I think our governments are still trying to cull our numbers and they've switched to war for now. Destroying every commoner's food supply is also in the works.

Is Trump deceiving various people? Or is he just reading from a script he was handed after They permitted him to "win" last year? There's no way Harris could have done this.

I believe Colonel MacGregor is a straight thinker and having been a soldier in the field that saw real conflict, all those who talk about his negativity and anti semantic attitude, poo poo on you. The Israel today is NOT the same as the Israel of the Bible and the holocaust has also caused people to give Israel first place over their own nation, that is the United States. The destruction and murder in Garza and other nations is NOT self defense, but aggression and murder.

LEGALLY BLIND THUS CAPS:

BRIAN BERLETIC HAS BEEN TRYING TO GET HIS MESSAGE OUT….ONE MAN DOES NOT RUN AN EMPIRE. EMPIRES ARE GIVEN THEIR DIRECTION FROM THINKTANKS.

EXAMPLE:

But these findings by the intelligence apparatus of the American state, a prize-winning investigative journalist and Iran’s acquiescence to a regime of regular inspections did not impress Israeli leaders whose object has been to overthrow the government of the Islamic Republic. The strategy of achieving such regime change can be found in the 2009 paper-turned-book titled Which Path to Persia?: Options for a New American Strategy Towards Iran which was written under the auspices of The Brookings Institution.

ALSO SEE:

Diplomacy as Deception: How U.S. Peace Talks Mask a Global War Strategy…GLOBAL GEOPOLITICS, SUBSTACK

Drawing from multiple policy documents, such as the Brookings Institution's “Which Path to Persia?” and RAND Corporation’s “Extending Russia,” Berletic illustrates how the U.S. foreign policy establishment, beyond partisan lines or presidencies, has maintained a consistent blueprint for global dominance. These plans involve staging talks with adversaries while simultaneously laying the groundwork for military aggression, using proxies like Israel or NATO allies. In the case of Iran, Berletic contends that the U.S. is employing a deliberate tactic of sabotaging peace while encouraging Israel to carry out military strikes under the cover of American neutrality. This aligns with strategies outlined in the 2009 Brookings paper, which openly discusses manufacturing plausible deniability for American involvement while destabilising targeted nati

He may not have started it. I think Netanyahu tried to fuck him over by launching a sneak attack while he was still in negotiations. Trump had to pick between being either a master dealmaker who negotiates in murderously bad faith, or an emperor so weak that his vassal states start wars without his approval. Of course, he couldn’t display that level of weakness, so he made the intended choice, or at least pretended to. All the seemingly erratic behavior makes sense in that context, at least.

Only God knows the answer to this tome. Leo, why so negative about the President? Your posts often question and attempt to lay blame for one thing or another, as this quote here where you say: "Makes it look like he’s got something to hide." Why spend time looking under rocks for dark things. No man is perfect, and why are you expecting him to be so? God uses very weak people to be his instruments to carry out his will.

The Lord commands us to pray for him, to bless him and that God will use him to dethrone evil and to be an instrument that can help save our nation. Time will tell how God will use him for good or for naught. May God bless you as a man who seeks the truth.

One question. Did you take that same posture with Biden? I am a Christian and I see is a major double standard. When someone we back is in authority, we Christians use Scripture to rebuke others for not praying for the leaders we like, but we readily join in the chorus of criticism against leaders we disagree with. Seems rather hypocritical and I'm personally sick of it. I'm also tired of the weaponozation of the term anti Semitism to be used to describe those who oppose the atrocities enacted not by the Jewish people, but by leaders who are seeking a war to bring forth their false Messiah. Both the Iran and Israel side need their war for their Mahdi(Iran) and Messiah (Israel) to come forth. These things seem to be moving forward and we, the US, are helping it along with Trumps decisions. I voted for him twice, but then the smoke cleared snd I could see. Label me Unpatriotic, AnitSemitism, whatever you like; my first allegiance is to Jesus Christ and humanity whom He created.

"One question. Did you take that same posture with Biden? "

Your question has nothing to do with what I said in my comment. I too am a Christian. My contention is that I am disappointed of Leo's unrelenting negativity who claims to love the truth, but to criticize every single thing Trump does. To me this feels more akin to those who hold to 'Trump as Hitler" than someone who has balanced clear-minded thinking about the truth. I find this characterization of our President uncharatable and assuming the worst of all possible outcomes. I myself do not support everything Pres Trump does, but am willing to wait and see and pray for the Lord to work out His will.

And I have prayed for Donald Trump that he would humble himself and realize his need for Jesus Christ for his own sake and for the sake of this country. I think if that were to happen, then he would be a far better leader than the one who is boastful and lacking humility which is needful for any good leader.

I think it's a valid question. Did you pray for Biden who was obviously not good for this country, but who as our leader would also qualify as needing prayer. I know many, including myself who ranted about Biden, but heard little admonition to pray for him. Now that Trump is president I hear plenty of calls for prayer and the lets wait and see how things turn out narrative. Which comes across to me as being biased per our own preferences and a double standard. As for Leo Holman, I have no problem with a person calling out things that should be pointed out. Then each can decide to accept or not listen to what's being stated. In Mr.Holman' s defense, you seem to assume Mr. Holman hasn't prayed for Trump. Did you ask him about that?¹

The people of Iran want a regime change but we need to let them do that - not our American blood. The targeted strike took away the Israel reason for war so I feel Trump’s move was for that reason.

As reported, the CCP sent many cargo planes into Iran BEFORE the US attacks with locator transponders turned off!

Many trucks seen at Iranian facilities BEFORE the US attack.

The CCP cargo planes removed the enriched nuclear material for safekeeping BEFORE the US attacks.

I suspect Iran's nuke material is safe in communist China where it will be made into dirty bombs or nukes.

You're obviously unaware of the fact that explosive fission can be achieved with U-235 enriched to far below the so-called "weapons grade" level of 90% (actually, 93.4%). Of the two primary types of fission bombs (viz., implosion and gun assembly), the gun type is much simpler to design and construct and more appropriate to the use of U-235 enriched to 60%. The Iranians supposedly have produced a quantity of 60% U-235 estimated at 400 kg. The "bare critical" amount for U-235 at this enrichment level is about 130 kg. This can be reduced by about two-thirds (to 43.4 kg) with the use of light metal reflectors, and the explosive force can be at least doubled by the use of heavy metal tampers. This means that the Iranians have enough U-235 for about 6 fission bombs with explosive output in the 10 - 20 kiloton range. Even with some advanced features to enhance explosive output, these devices are so easy to produce that it has been proven to be unnecessary even to test them before using them against an enemy. As long as the 400 kg of 60% U-235 remains in the hands of the Ayatollah, Israel and the U.S. remain in grave danger from these Islamic fanatics.

Everyone has an opinion and like most I agree with some of these posts and of course disagree with others. People have the right to express themselves. However it is hard to objectively read opinions where foul language, obvious hatred, distraught emotionalism, name calling and vile personal attacks are embedded in them. This really shows the true character of the “human heart”.

Jeremiah 17:9 9 “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?” I’ll be the first to call myself out for being in this broken condition. This sounds like preaching but all I’m doing is sharing God’s wisdom from His word. Something to consider.

I love reading Leo’s posts. I agree with his take on things 99% of the time. It’s very difficult however to love some of the comments people make on this site.

I think that there is greater than a 50 to one ratio of Muslims to Jews and Muslim lands to Israel and Muslim oil wealth to Israel wealth.

What should Israel do? Muslim theology calls for the elimination of Christianity and the Jews and Muslim history demonstrates that agenda and the conquest of Europe cannot be denied. Should Israel wait and hope that the tunnels, missiles, raping and murdering will go away? Should the people of Europe and the United States just be nice and welcome the hordes of jihadists?

It’s very confusing when journalists warn about the horrors of the Muslim invasion of Christendom. Then when Finally something is actually being done about it, the same people want to excoriate the ones trying their best to fight against the worst antagonists against us. It’s easy to criticize from a comfortable chair in a safe neighborhood.

YES, Donald trump is not a Christian or even an honest man. His cease fire does nothing to free the 80 million Iranians being tyrannized by the Ayatollahs. The fast growing numbers of Iranian Christian converts are praying for someone to support them but… alas none will. We are so scared of WW3, Never mind that the monster of Genetic Mod, Robotics, AI, and Nanotechnology dwarfs all other fears.

The ID # of Socialism’s Security System is actually, the insidious digital-mark of the Marxist UN Beast system (is the malignant underpinnings of its evolutionary Orwellian ‘Digital Age’). One must understand, that for over ninety years, the identification number of the Beast’s eugenic technology has successfully been implemented into the hands and foreheads of the digitally-marked (SS#) chattel that are happily held captive and enslaved within the Global Village’s Socialistic Security System.

During the Orwellian “Digital Age” of Neo-Babel’s Global Village all global-e-commerce merchandise, including the souls of men, must be digitally-marked with the identification number (SS#; SIN#) of Socialism’s Security System. Mentally engraved within the consciousness of their hearts (their forehead’s memory) and embedded within their hand-held credit card is the digital name of the Marxist UN Beast. No man can legally buy, sell, engage in the cashless global-e-commerce, obtain a drivers license, a bank account, a passport, an airline ticket or be hired for employment without being branded for life with the Beast’s SS#. From cradle to grave the digitally-marked souls of Neo-Babylonians are happily enslaved as dependent-wards within the Marxist Beast’s Socialistically-Secured UN Global Village.

Masonic Pax American’s Social-Secured citizens are indoctrinated to proudly lay down their patriotic lives in militant defense of licentious Lady Liberty’s Masonic Constitution.
