CONRAD BLACK: Trump Will Win the War With Iran.

There is not the slightest pretense of bipartisan support for the war effort and as the Democrats demanded peace they went on record proclaiming that Iran was not a threat to America, that the United States is losing the war, and had been dragged into a quagmire.

When the negotiations came, they denounced them. The negotiations did not last long. Iran’s failure to concede the verifiable and permanent elimination of its nuclear military program and the abandonment of funding for international terrorism, particularly on the borders of Israel, and end all pretense of controlling the Strait of Hormuz, means the war will be resumed and those goals will swiftly be achieved by the Americans and the Israelis.

At that point all the scaremongering of the Democrats as the “progressives” devour and intimidate whatever is left of moderate Democrats, will be exposed as a fraud. Congressman Ro Khanna’s demand for Mr. Trump’s removal because of mental incompetence and the disintegration of Congressman Eric Swalwell’s gubernatorial campaign because of his aggressive womanizing have lowered the farce of the California Democrats to hitherto unexcavated levels.

There is little that the voters of America like better than victory in a “splendid little war” at a low cost (Theodore Roosevelt on the Spanish-American War). This was the story of Presidents Polk in Mexico, McKinley in Cuba and the Philippines, and even, for a time, the Bushes in Iraq. In the aftermath of Iran’s refusal to concede the nuclear and terrorism issues, the United States and its allies will seize Kharg Island, close Iran as tightly by sea as it is by air, strangle it of the ability to support terrorism, and impose a permanent aerial arms embargo on nuclear military development; all at minimal cost to the United States and Israel in the lives of their servicemen.

Don’t get cocky.

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: Just Wondering How Long Adam Schiff Gets to Lie About, Well, Everything. “He was also one of the taxpayer abusers on the United States House Soviet Select Committee on J6 Daddy Issues, lying about an insurrection that never was. The Dems’ justification for the first impeachment trial that we now know Schiff directed was the claim that Trump interfered with the 2020 election. That’s super rich, given the Democrats’ expertise in election tampering.”

DISPATCHES FROM THE BLUE ZONES: Life in a Soros Prosecutor City: Defender Faces Murder Charges While the Mob Runs Free.

Following a Friday night incident in Austin, Texas, a Central Texas Gun Works employee deserves a medal for heroic self-defense, rather than the murder charges he’s facing thanks to Soros-backed District Attorney José Garza. Garza is living up to his well-earned reputation for prosecuting good guys while letting the bad guys walk free.

Two off-duty employees from Central Texas Gun Works had just arrived at an east Austin club when they came under attack from a dozen thugs who had been kicked out of the watering hole for getting into it with another group inside. They apparently mistook the two gun store employees for being members of the group they’d been arguing with inside and were still looking to scrap.

The mob swarmed the two without provocation. One employee was beaten and knocked unconscious, suffering a skull fracture and broken ribs. That’s when the second man drew his gun. Seeing the attack continuing on his friend and fearing for their lives, he opened fire.

One of the attackers was killed. The employee then wisely retreated from the still-chaotic scene to avoid the remaining assailants. He sought medical treatment, and was later taken into custody. He now sits in the Travis County jail facing a murder charge. His injured colleague is recovering in the hospital. None of the thugs who attacked them is facing charges from Garza.

The man who murdered my niece in cold blood more than two years ago still hasn’t gone to trial, thanks to foot-dragging in Garza’s office.

Los Angeles and even San Francisco got rid of their Soros prosecutors — what the hell is wrong you with you, Austin?
