What are your thoughts about the U.S. blockade happening in the Strait of Hormuz? The Shrew believes that this mechanism to break the will of the Iranian leadership is the only way to stop their possession of a nuclear weapon forcing tyranny on the region and the globe. After all, who likes a tyrant? Certainly the “No Kings” activists don’t. And since 1776 the Second Continental Congress didn’t.

The Shrew believes that there is another blockade happening, but this one is in the U.S. For some reason a small faction in this country believes that we are living under a tyranny. This faction of fools clearly don’t understand how a constitutional republic works. The “No Kings” activists are creating their own blockade by forcing their belief that the current administration is lawless. The activist “blockade” is shutting down civic debate, federal jobs that protect everyone, public spaces, and transparency of the NGO’s that have funded and organized them. How is this democracy? It’s not. It’s a revolutionary blockade created to upend the republic. That’s their objective. It has nothing to do with this administration. It has everything to do with gaining their own power and control which, to be honest, is its own tyranny. No one voted for that!

How often have other administrations been admonished by their diverse citizenry for actions that seemed to harm them? It happens all the time in our country which is why we get to: 1) converse with our representatives; 2) have the press report about the facts responsibly; 3) vote for a change when administrative terms are coming to an end. Unfortunately historical context in our educational system is being replaced with grievance theory. This can only lead to the childish response to the current administration that we are witnessing now. And when these activists don’t get their way it is no surprise that they will either lash out destructively or run to their room to cry and plan their next childish move. But, of course, neither of these activities gain them any real advantage. They simply look like the fools that they are.

The current administration is not being foolish with the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. This blockade happened after the Iranian war machine was destroyed and had no choice but to enter into a ceasefire. The blockade is the next step to force a surrender so that we can remove their uranium. That’s the only objective! Sure, some tyrants have been removed too, but their weakened tyrannical regime will still remain unless the Iranian people are strong enough to change it themselves. How long will the blockade continue? For as long as we like because even though the price of oil is increasing, the civilized world is pragmatically solving this problem as I write this post. Not childish at all.

Blockades done the right way are a tool to solve problems, not to create them. Period
