Sharing from a post I just read;
“Last night, U.S. Special Operations forces pulled off one of the most ballsy and complex rescues in modern history.
After an American F-15E Strike Eagle was downed over southern Iran on Friday, its Weapons System Officer (WSO) spent more than 24 hours evading Iranian forces in brutal mountainous terrain. Injured (broken ankle), and hunted, this warrior hiked a 7,000-foot ridgeline with nothing but grit and training keeping him alive.
Hundreds of American special operators, including Navy SEAL Team Six, along with dozens of fighter jets, strike aircraft, helicopters, and elite cyber/space/intel assets converged deep behind enemy lines.
U.S. attack aircraft lit up Iranian convoys trying to close in. When our ground teams reached the WSO, they laid down suppressing fire to keep the IRGC at bay while extracting him. No prolonged firefight, just precise, overwhelming American dominance.
Then came the final twist: two extraction transport planes got stuck at a remote Iranian base. Commanders didn’t hesitate; they flew in three replacement birds, loaded up every American, and destroyed the disabled planes on the ground so they’d never fall into enemy hands.
This wasn’t just a rescue.
It was a statement: No American is left behind. Ever.
To the WSO who stayed alive and fought the elements and the enemy for over a day, welcome home, brother.
To the operators, pilots, and support teams who ran toward the danger, you are the reason America still projects power like no one else on Earth.
De Oppresso Liber.
What do you think, Patriots? This is why we train harder, move faster, and never back down. Drop a
if you’re proud to be American tonight.”

Did you catch the part about using the Kurds to funnel arms to Iranian protesters? The Peshmerga have been some of our most reliable fighters and allies. You can’t ask them to take on that kind of risk and expect them not to question it, even though they have their own motives. I’d bet they’re pretty skeptical—whether we actually follow through, or if it ends up like before where we move on once we don’t need them and they’re left dealing with the fallout.
That’s the part we should be thinking about—because good allies don’t forget when they’re left hanging. I wonder if the people talking to them are telling them n will be different this time..
Trumps way of saying Happy Easter 
You really can’t make this stuff up. This is exactly why I voted for this MF
— just when you think he’s hit peak stupid, he circles back around and somehow turns it into a full redemption arc. Absolute chaos… and somehow that’s the brand.

hast du etwas Zeit für mich, As I said as a child (translation do you have time for me?).
This cryptic message requires great thought and reflection. Think of the actual meaning of the songs, prayer and how they apply to the post.
But be not thou far from me, O Lord: O my strength, haste thee to help me.
Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the dog.
Save me from the lion's mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns.
I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee.
Psalms 22:19-22
Blessed be the Lord my strength which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight:
My goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and he in whom I trust; who subdueth my people under me.
Psalms 41:1&2
My intent was to provoke thought via two bible passages which I personally feel are quite relevant to the recovery of the US Pilots recently.
When I read both passages they seem so clear and fitting to the recovery mission. That I desired to simply share them.

Et par St Michel, vive les Paras. St. Michael—the patron saint of paratroopers. A tradition born when a padre gave St. Michael medallions to paratroopers from the French 2e Régiment de Chasseurs Parachutistes, stepping into the dark over Brittany before D-Day… not knowing what waited below, just trusting they didn’t go alone.
That same archangel is still carried today—especially by the 82nd. This is their patron saint. And if they have to jump into Iran… no one wants boots on the ground more than they do.
Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. Hear my call as through the sky I now will fall... My static line has hooked to hold, and then my chute to make unfold... On angel's wings I hit the ground, My father's favor I have found.

I still have my St. Michael and St. Christopher, both carried in harms way (not at the same times, different conflicts).
While I was a Military member, prior to that I was a Army brat, and did grow up in Augsburg, hence the VERY limited German.
I generally refrain from speaking it as I butcher the daylight out of it as a adult. Just thought some would wonder why some southern redneck would use German.
@Infidel 762, Jeremy you should get a kick out of this....

I prayed for the pilot and I charged ministering spirits to help him and even bring him water and food. That my seem a little far fetched to some. But he is safe now none the less. I was in Iraq, Afghanistan and I stood on and claimed three verses daily. Ps 91 , Luke 10:19 and Isaiah 54:17 . Actually all of Ps 91 it is a soldiers prayer.
I thank all who served. God bless

Iran be trolling Trump;
Trump continues to be unhinged.
No matter what happens tonight, it’s bad either way. Either Trump extends it again—pointing to “ongoing negotiations”—or we go deeper and turn more of the public against us, and Pro American Irainians anti. Either way, the base is fracturing. MAGA isn’t growing… It’s shrinking.
And now you’ve got moments like this bleeding into the open:
"That wasn’t some fringe critic—that was one of the loudest pro-Trump voices in media. On his show April 7, 2026, Jones pressed Robert Barnes on removing Trump. Barnes didn’t hesitate—said officials should “tackle Trump and let him pretend he’s president” while Vance takes over. Jones, almost caught off guard, admitted he’d never heard Barnes go that far before. Barnes’ answer: “It’s that bad.”
This didn’t come out of nowhere. Jones has been turning on Trump over the Iran war—calling the Easter threats “genocidal” and saying Trump sounds like an unhinged comic-book villain. And he’s not alone.
Marjorie Taylor Greene is now floating the 25th Amendment after Trump posted that “a whole civilization will die tonight.”
Laura Loomer is calling dissent “disloyalty.”
Candace Owens is calling him a “genocidal lunatic.”
That’s not noise—that’s a fracture line. What used to be a unified movement is now openly splitting, and it’s happening in real time. Some still cling to loyalty, others are breaking hard, and a lot of people in the middle are starting to question what they signed up for. Polls are already showing cracks—declining confidence, voters second-guessing 2024, candidates quietly trying to walk a tightrope between Trump and everyone else."
Call it what it is: a MAGA civil war. Not simmering anymore—out in the open.
This is the Church of Painful Truth. It shouldn’t be a right-wing echo chamber—it should be where people are willing to say what they’re actually seeing, whether it’s comfortable or not. And none of this is going to magically force the Strait open or stabilize anything overnight. Markets react fast—oil shipments move slow. The real-world impact lags behind the headlines. Shortages haven’t hit most places yet, but that doesn’t mean they won’t. It’s coming— a lot of you just don’t feel it yet.

No MAGA fracture here, Trump is just addressing the elephant in the room. A repeat of history, the first Barbary War. Islamist holding the world hostage, pay for passage or we will board/destroy your ship. Permission by religion to murder,steal or fraud the Christian/West culture. France, Germany,England unable and unwilling to assist because the US has been their defense for 75 years(paying for it).
