RON HART: ‘Take This Hijab And Shove It!’ — Will Oppressed Iranians Rise Up?

Things are moving at Trump speed in Iran. This past Saturday night I got up against some bourbon and took drunk. The next day was followed by the time change, so I took a nap on Sunday. It is risky to sleep for an hour. I woke up two Ayatollahs later.

In the wake of Trump’s attacks on Iran and taking out their nuclear sites and missile stockpiles, oil prices briefly neared $120 a barrel on Monday.

Oil had gotten below $60 a barrel under Trump’s “drill baby drill” policies. $60 is a good price for a barrel of oil. Hell, it is a good price for just the barrel. We are ok now since America produces all the oil we need. Plus, the government has our strategic oil reserve, and all that oil seized from P. Diddy.

People ask me who the war helps. I tell them: Like it always does, war helps Raytheon and the D.C. politicians who invested in defense companies. (RELATED: ‘I’m Willing To Live With It’: Trump Addresses Iran School Bombing Probe Directly)

Operation Epic Fury is costly. It is estimated that we have spent $5 billion so far. To put this in perspective, you could run a Somali daycare with no students in Minneapolis for $5 billion for a whole year.

This war of choice is not only about ridding the world of nukes in dangerous hands, but also about potentially freeing people (mostly women) from an oppressive theocracy.

I just hope the Iranian women living under the misogynistic rule of marrying at 13, being raped, barred from driving, must cover their faces, under the thumb of the “morality police” and overall disenfranchisement, find some freedom and protection. Iran’s age of consent for girls is 13. And I really hope that liberal, white, American, TDS-suffering women, who are protesting in solidarity with the Islamic regime, are not hurt by potential Iranian women’s freedoms.

For example, the OGs for way-left confused thinking Jane Fonda and Cher offered to perform for Iran. Sadly, the mullahs said no. They went on to give their reasoning: female performers here in Iran, must be younger than our country. (RELATED: Trump Aims To End Iran’s War On America — On His Terms)

The son of the last Supreme Leader is next up. Mojtaba Khamenei, nepo-anointed by the Supreme Council, a kleptocracy masquerading as a theocracy, is also a hardliner. The religious zealots who have a vested interest in seeing that the tyrannical regime continues to subsist, interviewed him and hired him. The death cult of suicide bombers must continue for them to survive. I think the main question in the job interview was, “Where do you see yourself blowing up in two years?”

Ayatollah Jr. is not what Trump wanted. Our military will continue to play Whack-a-Mullah until a reasonable leader is appointed.

The position the Supreme Leader has is right there in the name: Supreme. Of the many lies they live, the Islamic Republic is not a Republic. The unelected leader wields absolute power, unbound by any checks or balances. It is like being Putin in Russia, or Alvin Bragg and Letishia James at the New York prosecutor’s Office.

Behind the peaceful façade of studying the Koran, teaching and seminary lies a nefarious man just like his dad. Mojtaba Khamenei oversaw his father’s policies of grifting, torture, rape and mistreatment of women. With that background, the only other place he could possibly hope to be drafted would be the Cleveland Browns.

Practiced at its extremes, the “religion” admits it wants to kill us non-Muslim “infidels.” But if you point out this agenda item and say you don’t want to be killed, you are Islamophobic.

The existing regime is not fighting for its people; it is fighting for its very existence. As one Iranian put it, “The cartel they had created—an octopus that had tentacles in almost every vestige of the Iranian society, from economy, to media, to religion—has constrained all the other many actors and factions within the Islamic Republic.” (RELATED: ROOKE: The Hardcore NeoCon Whispering Sweet War Songs Into Trump’s Ear)

This whole thing is a predicament for the lefties losing it. The murderous Ayatollah and his top henchmen are dead. The libs hate that, but the good news is that they are now eligible to vote Democrat in our midterms.

Want to watch leftists go nuts?  If a Ukrainian-built drone sent by Iran hits a hospital in Palestine, which flag do you put on your Facebook page?
