FROM THE EARTH-SHATTERING KABOOM DEPARTMENT:

Personally, I am a man of peace, and a terrorist nation without an air force, army, navy, military leadership, or nuclear weapons is starting to look pretty peaceful.
So is a Mideast without Hamas, Hezbollah, or a terror-sponsoring Iran.
UPDATE:
With the US strike on Fordow every narrative has to be reframed. Trump as Putin's stooge, European presumptions, China's expectations. All in the dumpster. What world are we in? Nobody knows.

We’ve been in a war with Iran since 1979. https://t.co/eI6FMsVkcj

I grew up with Leftist boomers siding with the USSR against the US. They’re basically anti-US while enjoying the fruits of the system they claim to detest. This is part of the culture war that dates to the 60s. https://t.co/KDmNkQOapW

And:
Precision strike.
No leaks.
No US casualties.
Never again say that Hegseth wasn’t the right guy to lead the DOD.

The “no leaks” part is probably the most impressive.
Pallets of cash versus pallets of massive ordinance penetrators.

Plus, bipartisan support!
As I’ve long maintained, this was the correct move by @POTUS.
Iran is the world’s leading sponsor of terrorism and cannot have nuclear capabilities.

And, legal analysis:
Obama went to war in Libya for six months without Congressional approval. Not unconstitutional, IMHO, but a violation of the War Powers Act. Trump's action is more like Reagan's bombing of Libya in 1986, neither unconstitutional nor a violation of the WPA. https://t.co/wq8zF8Telf

Consider the opsec in place, along with the rapid marshaling of assets to the region and the expert logistics demonstrated in this mission … and tell me if anyone will be arguing that @SecDef is some kind of amateur in over his head after today. https://t.co/iG3RWxPVnj

Almost every other country has made it clear to the Islamic Republic that they are on their own. They should have made a deal when they had the chance. The main remaining allies for the terror regime are the Houthis in Yemen and the student groups at Columbia.

Imagine taking a time machine back to 2001 and telling these guys that the Apprentice host will be the one to bomb Iran pic.twitter.com/fVMcUeZFAq

And the bottom line:
President Trump just eliminated Iran’s nuclear program with one precision strike. There are zero U.S. casualties.
There is literally nothing to be mad about.
