Once Again: Thanks, President Trump, for an Astounding Birthday Gift (This'll Be the Second Time…)

Today is the shared birthday, exactly five years apart to the day, of the two most prolific bloggers of No Pasarán (half a dozen altogether) for the past 21 — soon 22 — years (a thought for the late Joe Noussair). 

It is also the second time that a wonderful birthday gift has been given me/us by none other than President Donald J. Trump. 

On January 3, 2020, POTUS45 dropped a bomb on Iran's Qassim Suleimani. It was then that I realized that I had been waiting for a strike — any kind of strike — against the Tehran Mullahs by the American military ever since I was a teen-ager during the Carter administration when I felt so humiliated first by the hostage situation in Tehran's U.S. Embassy and second by Jimmy Carter's failed attempt to rescue them.

Six years later to the day, POTUS47 took out Nicolás Maduro in a different way, literally capturing Venezuela's leader and taking him and his wife out of the country, to an assault ship of the United States and then to New York. (At first, I wasn't quite sure whether the capture took place on January 3 or before midnight on January 2, but the Daily Mail quotes General John Daniel 'Raizin' Cane, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, as saying it took place around 1:01 am (ET) or 2:01 am (Venezuela time) on the 3rd.)

Thanks for the birthday gifts, Mister President. The unforgettable birthday gifts…
