Sunday Ops Report
This week: Donald Trump's greatest test?; Jake buries the media for good; Alex Soros, the man-child pulling the strings of the new left
Happy Sunday, all! Chris starts us off this week with what may go down as Donald Trump’s toughest — and most critical — challenge.
Even the academics who write the history will have to acknowledge him if he can solve this one. But can he?
So Donald Trump announced this week that his administration is close to making a new deal with Iran. This is a long time coming, as Trump pulled the U.S. out of the Obama-brokered deal that gave Iran a pathway to a nuclear weapon “within the next 15 years.” If you do the math, Iran could have been working on a nuclear device and perhaps have it within five years — or less. Not a pleasant thought.
Trump ended that agreement but has yet to put another in its place. Then Biden’s Secretary of State Antony “Deer-in-the-Headlights” Blinken spent his four years accomplishing nothing but re-empowering Iran on the international stage.
Now Trump is back at the table looking for a new deal. He claims to want peace but is ready for war if necessary. Information about his proposals is still murky, but Iran claims that they still want to enrich uranium to the extent that they can create nuclear power, just not nuclear weapons. Trump is opposed to that proposition.
Perhaps Iran doesn’t want to be beholden to Arab oil states (whom they have a tenuous relationship with), or perhaps they secretly plan on creating a weapon. No one can be sure — and that has always been the rub.
The Obama Administration is a still an impediment to a nuclear-free Iran. Muammar Quaddaffi agreed to give up his weapons of mass destruction programs and quickly regretted it. The Obama Administration organized his killing after they were sure that he was powerless to stop them. Iran saw that move and likely vowed not to fall into the same trap.
But allowing Iran to have any nuclear program is a dicey proposition. We can look to the past to find a potential similarity.
The Lessons of History
We are all familiar with the Treaty of Versailles that ended World War I. Germany was forced to accept that crushing deal after its military fell apart after the Armistice of 1918. They were rendered powerless after the treaty that severely limited their ability to rearm. Their military was capped at 100,000 soldiers and they were not allowed to produce tanks, gas weapons, battleships, and military aircraft.
Germany almost immediately worked to undermine that deal. As early as 1919, the government supported civilian paramilitary organizations to bolster their fighting strength. They also began to find creative ways to fund and develop weapons programs in violation of the treaty.
In 1921, they engaged in a deal with the Soviet Union to build weapons and train soldiers in Soviet territory. The Junkers Corporation built planes in the Soviet Union and trained German pilots at Soviet air bases. The Deutsche Luft Hansa national airline used thinly disguised military planes as civilian carriers and trained a German air corps.
Tank production took a similar track. In 1927, the Lohmann Affair uncovered a German plot that used civilian companies to create a shadow armaments program.
The result was that when Hitler came to power in 1933, these programs were prepared to go into overdrive. Even American companies got in on the action, providing financing and materials to foster the accelerating Nazi armaments industry.
By 1935, it was no longer a “secret” that Germany was violating the treaty. Hitler went public with his rearmament and most of the world just shrugged. They were distracted by the Great Depression and unwilling to call Hitler’s bluff for fear of another Great War.
Besides, these German programs seemed to jump-start the failing German economy. The Reichsbank had been secretly lending the German government money to finance rearmament for years, using dummy corporations to hide the plot. Unemployment fell to record levels.
By 1941 Germany had a military so powerful that only the vastness of the Russian steppe, tens million dead Soviet soldiers, a stalwart Britain and an industrialized United States could overcome it .
Iran could engage in a similar gambit if they are allowed to retain any semblance of a nuclear program. They could hide uranium production in their vast desert. Countries opposed to the United States such as Putin’s Russia could assist in sharing technology and production facilities. International corporations could be willing to assist Iran’s weapons programs to make a quick buck (read: China). Another Biden-like administration could simply turn a blind eye to Iranian nuclear armaments while handling — or creating — some other crisis.
And in the end, international indifference could create an environment where Iran would be free to move ahead.
If the Trump Administration allows Iran any nuclear capabilities, we will wake up one day and find a nuclear-armed state sponsor of terror. That would be a travesty with consequences that border on unthinkable.
We don’t want an armed conflict with Iran, but Trump must make a stand here. He preaches peace, and that is a good thing — but a line must be drawn.
We hope Trump has learned the lessons of history and can make a deal that allows us a future free of a nuclear Iran. It may take coercion — or “violence” as Trump has termed it. So be it. The world will squawk, but behind closed doors, there will be relief.
The fanatical mullahs of Iran armed with a nuclear weapon would be a global catastrophe. There can be no Obama “red line” here.
This time, the line must be real.
And The Pulitzer For The Least Surprising Reporting Goes To…
Jake Tapper is the most prolific, but far from the only, person delineating the mental decline of Joe Biden. This recent admission regarding our former President’s condition has finally come from the fetid blob of intertwined legacy media and Democrat politicians.
The new narrative is that Biden was in serious decline during his years as alleged leader of the free world. You may recall that this is the exact opposite of what we were told for years. Just look at Tapper’s statements on the topic during Biden’s term in office (click the image to be immensely irritated:
As with most legacy media topics, this new narrative is no accident. It is not a realization recently stumbled upon by the press. Legacy media is the voice of the Democrat Party. They do as they are told.
Sure, Jake Tapper is making a few bucks from his book, Original Sin, which he wrote with Axios reporter Alex Thompson. But he is doing even more damage to his meager reputation as a journalist with this recent missive. Reading his book requires a complete memory-holing of the narrative that Tapper and other Democrats pushed on us for more than four years.
Leaked audio of Special Counsel Robert Hur’s deposition of Biden just proves the dilapidated state of the President’s mind during his term. We are sure that there will be more cringe-audio to come.
Quite frankly, it is embarrassing that Tapper and so many others are now acknowledging the obvious truth that Biden was not truly competent for much, if not all, of his presidency. Anyone watching the 2016 election could see the Dems were using COVID-19 to cover his mental decline. Our media ignored it or actively covered it up.
So why is this a story now? After all, Biden has slipped into political oblivion. There will be no serious repercussions except in the integrity and faith in the complicit media outlets. So there must be a reason for such an embarrassing media narrative.
That reason lies in the current Trump presidency. In the coming months, the narrative will shift to Donald Trump’s mental condition. Like all of us, the current occupant of the White House is getting older. Time is undefeated, but some age better than others.
The actual state of Trump’s health, like so much of what the media reports, is irrelevant. As Chuck Schumer stated, Democrats are “looking forward.” And that is exactly the plan. Looking forward to attacks on Donald Trump. The past is just too embarrassing to acknowledge.
So the media left will be waiting for any mental slip from Trump to spring into action. They will then call it a “constitutional emergency.”
Now sure, they have done this in the past with little effect. But now they can use their belated attacks on Biden to validate their coming assault on Trump’s cognition. “The Biden White House hid it from us! We won’t get fooled again!” will be the sheet music issued from the DNC.
This coming narrative on Trump should simply be ignored. These people have no credibility, even on those rare occasions when they’re right.
And that is a shame. The legacy media is supposed to be the watchdog for the American people. Unfortunately, they have squandered that for minuscule political gain. Americans must turn to new voices for the truth. This has largely occurred already, but the end is nigh for this once critical American institution.
Good riddance. They have lied to and manipulated us long enough.
And by the way: Who signed those pardons? And all those executive orders? Joe? We doubt it.
So are they valid?
The Most Dangerous Heir
In this week’s podcast: a shocking new exposé from Soros-empire expert Matt Palumbo. With his new book Matt peels back the curtain on Alex Soros—the shadowy son of George Soros—revealing how this lesser-known figure is quietly shaping the entire leftist agenda.
From funneling money into media outlets, to attempting to reinvent America's criminal justice system, to his growing influence over an entire nation (Albania), Alex isn’t just following in his father’s footsteps—he’s sprinting past them.
Despite, by all accounts, being nowhere near as sharp as his old man.
So what happens when you give a man-child enough money to indulge every adolescent whim he has? And how dangerous are those whims?
Join us as we dive into the depths of manipulation, ambition, and the making of a global kingmaker in plain sight.
Matt literally wrote the book on the influence of the Soros network — nobody knows it better, or causes more agita around the Soros dinner table.
Hear it in his own words. And find out what happens when he tries to interview Alex himself.

And finally…
To paraphrase Dorothy Parker: “This is not a book to be tossed aside lightly. It should be thrown with great force.”
Iran has had nuclear capabilities for a while. The culture is the oldest on earth. The Pakistani physicist who helped other countries in the area helped them. Trump can do it but he needs to get the Mullahs out of power and the people of Iran will take care of the rest.
