I Say Who Will Be Leader

Now that we have a war going on with Iran and the US is looking for regime change but not really looking…..Donny thinks he should decide who the leader of the country should be.

President Trump says he doesn’t just want a say in Iran’s future leadership, he insists he has to help pick the next supreme leader. In an interview with Axios on Thursday, Trump said he considers Mojtaba Khamenei, the late Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s son and widely seen favorite to succeed him, “unacceptable” and “a lightweight.” He argued that if Iran chooses a leader who sticks to the current line, the US could be drawn back into war within five years. “We want someone that will bring harmony and peace to Iran,” Trump said, adding that he must be “involved in the appointment, like with Delcy in Venezuela.” Delcy Rodriguez took power after US forces ousted President Nicolas Maduro in January.

Trump made similar remarks in an interview with Politico, declaring he would have “a big impact” on who leads the country. “We’ll work with the people and the regime to make sure that somebody gets there that can nicely build Iran but without nuclear weapons,” he said. The comments mark a striking assertion of US influence over Iran’s internal succession process and appear to cut against repeated statements by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and other officials that Washington is not seeking “regime change,” Axios notes

In the Politico interview, Trump dismissed concerns about the effect rising gas prices could have on the midterm elections. “People are loving what’s happening,” he said. “We’re taking out a threat to the United States of America, major threat … and doing it like nobody’s ever seen before.” He said the war had already “decimated” Iran’s military.

Seriously?  I would think that if we are so concerned about democracy in Iran should not the Iranian people choose their next leader or will they accept the shah’s son which I am sure is Donny’s choice.

Keep in mind the US has never accepted a democratically elected leader in Iran…..think 1950s…..so it makes sense that Donny should pick and choose the leadership.

I know that this war has never been about bringing democracy to Iran….it is about installing a puppet that is dependent and pliable…..and the shah’s son will be both as well as an ass to the people that threw his father out of the limelight.

Any thoughts on this?

DHS Barbie Out On Her Ass

Noem has been fired…..I am surprised for being such a Donny enabler that she might weather this storm after her days testifying….I was mistaken.

She is gone and we await the next d/bag in line for the hallow halls of DHS.

Kristi Noem’s turbulent run atop the Department of Homeland Security is ending with a reassignment and a replacement drawn from the Senate. President Trump announced Thursday that Sen. Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma will take over as DHS secretary, calling him “highly respected,” while saying Noem will shift to a new post as “Special Envoy for the Shield of the Americas,” part of a Western Hemisphere security push the White House says it will roll out Saturday. The change takes effect March 31.

  • Months of speculation. The firing follows months of speculation about Noem’s future as public support for Trump’s aggressive deportation drive has eroded and even some Republicans questioned her leadership.
  • Trump “not a happy camper.” The president was unhappy with Noem about DHS’s heavily criticized surge in Minnesota, where two US citizens were fatally shot by officers, and about Noem’s Senate testimony on Tuesday defending a $200 million ad campaign that prominently featured her, sources tell the Washington Post. Noem told senators Trump had approved the campaign. GOP Sen. John Kennedy said Trump was “not a happy camper” when he spoke to him later that day. “The president’s recollection and her recollection are distinctly different,” he said.
  • Her new role. The White House says the Shield of the Americas is a regional policy initiative, guided by Trump’s “Donroe Doctrine,” to ensure security for the Western Hemisphere, the Hill reports. Noem’s role, like her role at Homeland Security, will include dealing with issues like illegal immigration and drug trafficking. Noem didn’t mention her ouster during an appearance at an event in Nashville on Thursday, but she later thanked Trump in a post on X. “In this new role, I will be able to build on the partnerships and national security expertise, I forged over the last 13 months as Secretary of Homeland Security,” she wrote.
  • Mullin. In a post on X, Mullin, whose appointment needs to be confirmed by the Senate, said, “I look forward to earning the support of my colleagues in the Senate and carrying out President Trump’s mission alongside the department’s many capable agencies and the thousands of patriots who keep us safe every day.” Mullin “has been a fighter for Oklahoma and will fight to keep our nation secure,” Gov. Kevin Stitt said in a statement, per the Oklahoma Voice. “There isn’t a better choice to lead the Department of Homeland Security.” He said he would appoint a “strong, small government conservative voice” to replace Mullin.
  • Democrats welcome the news. Democrats largely cheered her departure, the Post reports. Independent Sen. Angus King, who caucuses with Democrats, called Mullin “an upgrade, absolutely,” adding that “pretty much anybody is.” Sen. Cory Booker said Noem should still be “held to account for the corruption that she has shown with the contracting” and for what he described as violations of Americans’ constitutional rights. The Los Angeles-based Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights said her departure is “long overdue,” the AP reports. “For immigrant communities across the country, her leadership represented a dangerous escalation of policies that treated families and workers as targets rather than as human beings,” the advocacy group said, adding that her replacement must ensure agencies like ICE treat immigrants with “basic human respect.”

Her ousting was more about taking the heat off Donny than her….she will not go far for as an enabler Donny needs her close.

I do not believe this will be a new chapter for DHS just a continuation of the Donny policies.

Whatcha you think?
