I write this on the evening of April 7, 2026, as the President of the United States becomes more unhinged by the minute. He clearly places no value on human life.

Once again, at the proverbial eleventh hour, he snatched us back from the brink of a “civilization ending” attack on Iran.

Was that his plan all along?

Did he have a plan?

We’ll never know the truth of the matter.

When the President of the United States of America delights in jerking the world around like it’s his plaything….

When the President of the United States of America makes rash promises and outrageous threats on a daily basis….

When the President of the United States of America is undeterred, the entire world is at risk.

When the President of the United States is undeterred when told that something he wants to do is a war crime….

When the President of the United States is undeterred when told that something he wants to do is against international law….

When the President of the United States says he is not concerned about international law….

When the President of the United States surrounds himself with advisors who either agree with him or lack the moral courage, a love of our democracy, or the rule of law enough to advise against his unhinged wishes….

When the President of the United States promises to destroy the oldest civilization on Earth….

When the President of the United States, in his ignorance, uses profane language to threaten another country, he is playing right into their hands….

When the President of the United States is so ignorant of history and religion that he thinks by using vulgar threats against the regime in power in another country he will stop them from chanting, “Death to America”….

When the President of the United States bizarrely says, “Praise be to Allah” on social media on Easter Sunday….

When the President of the United States is nothing but a spoiled brat bully….

When the President of the United States changes his mind on a whim….

When the President of the United States has no moral compass….

This is where we are tonight: A two-week cease fire.

Perhaps two weeks in which we can take a deep breath and brace ourselves for whatever is to follow.

The two sides in this war are not in agreement on numerous points. They aren’t likely to be in agreement two weeks from now.

Both sides have already declared victory, which would be laughable if the future of the world did not hang in the balance.

The government should be afraid of its citizens, not the other way around.
