WELL, I'LL BE DARNED: TRUMP BOMBS IRAN AND PEACE BREAKS OUT.

The Middle East has been at war seemingly since Moses wore short pants. Frankly, I figured they’d keep blowing each other up until the sun burned out or I shoot golf in the 70’s, whichever comes first. It’s the most reliable cycle in human history - right up there with bad corn prices and sappy Taylor Swift albums.

So when President Trump launched Operation Midnight Hammer after a few days of Iran and Israel lobbing fireworks at each other, I braced for the usual. Another war. Another trillion dollars. Another round of senators pretending to understand the region while mispronouncing “Shia.”

Turns out, I might’ve been wrong.

Now, I didn’t oppose bombing Iran because I’ve gone soft. And it’s not because I’m in a group chat with Rachel Maddow. I just don’t love lighting taxpayer money on fire - especially when we’re $37 trillion in debt and holding infrastructure together with duct tape. Call me old-fashioned.

But here’s what I didn’t expect: Trump’s Hammer might have actually worked.

No American casualties. No boots on the ground. And hopefully, no endless quagmire. Just a coordinated strike so efficient it looked like a Steven Spielberg film - epic, surgical, and with just enough suspense to keep you from blinking. Israel hit first. Then our big, beautiful B-2 stealth bombers followed, turning Iran’s nuclear aspirations into radioactive gravel.

Iran’s response? Angry press conferences and claims the damage was “minimal.” Which, in diplomatic terms, is the geopolitical equivalent of “just wait ‘til my dad gets home.”

And here’s the kicker: both Iran and Israel are calling for a truce. Read

that again. Iran. And Israel. Truce. I’ve seen more believable headlines involving Elvis and UFO’s.

So how’d we get here?

Trump, in peak Trumpian style, rolled out MIGA—Make Iran Great Again. He’s serious. Obliterate the nukes, skip the regime change, and help rebuild, minus the uranium and the “death to America” parades. You can’t make this stuff up. And more impressively, he means it.

Meanwhile, the media reacted like someone reading a salad menu. CNN barely covered it. The European elites clutched pearls just in time for the NATO summit because nothing spoils a liberals psyche like Trump succeeding.

And Democrats? Well, they’ve started spinning the impeachment wheel again. Their new gripe? He didn’t “consult” them first. Right - because U.S. military strategy should work like a town zoning meeting. Where was this righteous outrage when Obama bombed Libya, Syria, and Pakistan without so much as a group email?

Let’s not forget: Obama got the Nobel Peace Prize for… um…for um…giving speeches while trying to look serious. Red lines? Ignored. Chemical weapons? Unchecked. But hey, the suits were nice.

Meanwhile, Trump drops a Hammer, stops a war, and suddenly Democrats are filing articles of impeachment for “being effective without permission.”

The New York Post nailed it:

“Just like in the 1930s, a fanatical regime made its intentions crystal clear: Wipe the Jewish people off the map, destroy Western influence, and dominate an entire region through terror and ideology. And just like in the 1930s, the so-called ‘international community’ looked the other way. Except this time, two leaders didn’t. Donald J. Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu didn’t beg. They didn’t blink. And they didn’t apologize. They acted.”

It is absolutely refreshing to see what happens when leaders actually lead.

Now, we wait to see if Iran will activate one of their rumored sleeper cells in the U.S.? After years of open-border policies and TSA agents confiscating shampoo instead of checking visas, I’m not betting the farm on homeland security. If anything happens, it’ll be a Biden-era immigration story, not a Trump-era military one.

And if Iran tries to block the Strait of Hormuz? Let’s just say they’ll quickly learn what happens when a U.S. battleship turns an oil tanker into a diving board.

Bottom line: Trump did what nobody else had the guts to do. He neutralized a nuclear threat without dragging us into a war. He might’ve just forced peace into existence. And for that, maybe he deserves more than the usual eye rolls and Democrat press conference livid criticisms.

Hell, we could even pry Obama’s Peace Prize out of one of his mansions and give it to someone who actually earned it. Trump might even melt it down and turn it into a putter
