Will the ceasefire hold?
The Iranian regime seems not to have taken the measure of Donald Trump.

Kenneth R. Timmerman | April 11, 2026
 

The Iranian regime seems not to have taken the measure of Donald Trump, even after over a month of war.  The Iranians appear to believe he is just another John Kerry or Barack Obama or Joe Biden, who can be intimidated into making every concession they can imagine.

Kerry showed us again on Thursday night, in an interview with his former staffer Jen Psaki on MSNBC, just how bad he was as Secretary of State.

While berating Trump for rushed negotiations with the Iranians before going to war, he reminded us that “we took four years” to get to the failed 2015 nuclear agreement, the JCPOA, as if the foot-dragging and unending concessions were a virtue.

The Iranians need to understand that J.D. Vance, who is leading the U.S. negotiating team, is their best shot at getting any sort of deal with the United States that leaves the regime intact.

Only until Trump tires of the lies, deceit, propaganda, distortions, and rebuilding of the Iran military goes too far.  Of course, he has to ensure Schumer won't shut down the government.

I think this cease fire was just a ruse on our part, to make sure we at least didn't at least try.   There are a 1000 fuses out there, that will easily unleash hell on Iran.

There never was any 'ceasefire'. The world seems to be playing a game of 'make-believe'.

Iran has been firing on Israel and its neighbors from the minute the 'ceasefire' was announce until today.
And, they annexed the 'Strait of Hormuz' as their own personal property. What ceasefire?

Yep.  It's a pro forma gesture, to prove they just can't keep their missiles under their skirts.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

Trump needs to act before Chuckie and idiots vote on the War Powers Act and Trump needs to obliterate Iran, take over Khard Island and the Strait of Hormuz, and be done.

Time is of the essence right now.
Live in  harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.
