Kramatorsk Hospital Bombed

Yesterday the Russian army hit a hospital in Kramatorsk, in Donetsk province. A little close to home, so to speak, because I stayed in this hospital for a few nights when I was there not long ago. I can attest there were no active military forces basing or staging there - aside from some wounded soldiers who were recovering. The rooms were mostly empty and abandoned, which is why we chose it as a place to stay.

The Iran Strike Was Theater—But the War Is Real

Just after landing in Newark, New Jersey yesterday, my phone lit up: Iran was launching missile strikes on U.S. bases across the Middle East.

From Qatar to Bahrain, Iraq to Saudi Arabia, sirens sounded. But here’s the kicker: it was all a show. A carefully coordinated performance designed to look like retaliation—without triggering a real war.

Let’s break down what really happened.


 Iran’s "Lame" Attack: A Scripted Show of Force

Multiple credible sources—including the New York Times—have confirmed what I suspected as soon as I saw the headlines: Iran warned both the United States and Qatar hours before launching their missiles.

Bases were evacuated. Air defense systems were on alert. Qatar even shot down five out of six missiles headed its way. One landed harmlessly in the desert. No injuries. No deaths. No serious damage.

Why? Because this wasn’t a real counterattack—it was political theater. Iran needed to “do something” after its nuclear infrastructure was hit hard. But it didn’t want to provoke a full-scale war.

In the words of one regional analyst:

“This was Iran saying, ‘Okay, we retaliated. Now let’s move on.’”


Why This Still Matters

If nobody got hurt, why should we care?

Because this isn’t just about missiles. It’s about messaging—and momentum.

Iran, Russia, and China are experts at information warfare. They know how to craft a narrative, manipulate public opinion, and make Western leaders look weak.

This attack—timed, telegraphed, and deliberately ineffective—makes Iran look like it has bite, without risking escalation. Meanwhile, the Biden administration is caught in an awkward dance, trying to look tough while also coordinating “courtesy warnings” with the enemy.

Let me ask you: Is Iran our enemy, or not?
Because if they are, why are we playing along with this farce?


 The Bigger War You’re Not Seeing

This missile strike is just one front in a much bigger war—a war for your mind.

Social media is flooded with fake MAGA accounts, rage bait, and misinformation. It’s not random. It’s intentional. It’s designed to confuse, divide, and discredit American patriots.

Iran and its allies want chaos. Not just on the battlefield, but in your home, your news feed, and your head.

That’s why we can’t just watch passively anymore. We’ve got to fight smarter.


 Should the U.S. Strike Back?

That’s the million-dollar question. On one hand, this strike was so weak it barely deserves a response. On the other hand, if we don’t respond, we look like we’re in on the joke.

President Trump is reportedly monitoring the situation from the White House. As of now, no retaliation has been ordered.

But the pressure is building.

Israel continues to strike Iranian positions—including roads and access points to Fordow—possibly to prepare for agents on the ground conducting post-strike assessments. Meanwhile, Iran is setting up checkpoints, arresting civilians, and allegedly executing suspected spies.

The regime is feeling the heat. And it’s cracking down.


 What You Can Do

This is not just a news story—it’s a turning point. Here's what I want you to do:

  • Stay informed. Don’t trust the filtered media. Follow real-time sources like Chuck Holton

  • Call out the theater. Don’t let anyone sell you this as “retaliation.” It was coordinated nonsense.

  • Pray. For our troops, our leaders, and for truth to win.

  • Prepare. This isn’t over. It’s just the next chapter.

When “Peace” is Worse Than War:
A Friendly Rebuttal to Pope Leo XIV

A few hours after the United States bombed key nuclear sites in Iran, Pope Leo XIV stood before the faithful and delivered a passionate plea for peace.

“War does not solve problems; on the contrary, it amplifies them and inflicts deep wounds on the history of peoples, which take generations to heal.
No armed victory can compensate for the pain of mothers, the fear of children, or stolen futures.
May diplomacy silence the weapons! May nations chart their futures with works of peace, not with violence and bloodstained conflicts!”

It’s a beautiful sentiment.

I Told You It Was Coming: What I Predicted—and What Just Happened at Fordow

By Chuck Holton 

Yesterday, I went live from Armenia with a serious warning: A strike on Iran’s Fordow nuclear facility could happen at any moment. I laid out the why, the how, and the likely fallout.

Hours later—it happened.

This isn’t about saying “I told you so.” This is about waking up to the reality that we are living through a pivotal moment in history, and the threats aren’t just over there—they’re aimed directly at you.

Let’s break down what I predicted—and what just unfolded.

 

 


 WHAT I PREDICTED: A Strike on Fordow Was Inevitable

In my live update, I said:

  • Fordow is Iran’s most fortified nuclear site, buried deep under a mountain.

  • Only U.S. 30,000 lb bunker busters could penetrate it.

  • Israel may act alone—or coordinate with the U.S.—but action was coming.

  • Trump’s “two-week” delay might be a strategic head-fake.

  • The most likely window? A weekend strike to minimize market disruption and media blowback.

Guess what? Hours after I said it, missiles hit Fordow.
