As many of you know, I’m an idea man. I don’t just criticize- like 99% of TV and radio hosts. I contribute with doable solutions.
I’ve presented many unique and creative ideas to President Trump over the past decade. He’s adopted several of them. Here is one more.
Everyone assumes there are only two ways to end the Iran War….
First, simply leave now. Cut and run. Declare victory and head home. Which will be great for our economy- stocks, gold, Bitcoin, inflation, interest rates, gas prices, jobs- everyone of those would go in a positive direction. Good for Americans. Good for investors. Good for the midterms. Win-win.
And why not? President Trump has achieved virtually all of his objectives. We’ve punished Iran severely and set them back a decade (or decades). We’ve destroyed most of their military. Their Air Force is gone. Their Navy is at the bottom of the sea. We’ve killed almost every one of their political and military leaders.
The US military has proven our power to the rest of the world. This has been the most incredible, remarkable lethal display of military might in history. Combined with the most daring military rescue operation in history.
And so far, we’ve lost a grand total of 13 men. Thirteen. No amount is a good number. Every American life is precious, but 13 deaths in a war this lethal is remarkable. Keep in mind we lost over 420,000 American military heroes in World War 2.
420,000.
Can you imagine Americans accepting this kind of death toll today? Today the American people are upset, shocked, stressed out and impatient after five weeks and 13 deaths.
Today we have lost 7 military aircraft in this Iran war. SEVEN.
In WW2 we lost over 60,000 planes. In Vietnam we lost over 10,000 planes.
The reality is, in this instant gratification world we live in, with news media on the ground bringing back instant images of war, and social media, and Democrats rooting and praying for America to lose (so that Trump is humiliated), we could never fight a 4-year world war with hundreds of thousands of casualties.
So, why not declare victory and leave now?
It makes sense. Win-Win. Except Iran will be back within years, maybe months, causing all the exact same problems. They will rebuild their military- with help from China and Russia. They will certainly attempt to rebuild their nuclear program. They will continue to torture, gang rape, and murder their own innocent citizens. They will still be able to close the Strait of Hormuz at any time, on a whim- once our Navy has packed up and gone home. And they will continue lobbing missiles at Israel.
The next U.S. President, or the one after that, or the one after that, will have to deal with the world’s worst rogue terrorist state all over again.
How about Option #2.
We can “end civilization as we know it” for Iran by bombing all of their infrastructure- bridges, factories, power plants, oil facilities and water treatment plants. Destroy them to the point they will never recover. End of story.
Here’s the problem with that option. When we nuked Japan and firebombed Berlin, we had to do it, to break the will of the people, who supported the war. In this case, the Iranian people are on our side. They are rooting for America. They love President Trump. They even helped our injured pilots avoid capture!
The Iranian people despise their own government. So, we really don’t want to nuke them, or bomb them back to the Dark Ages. We don’t want to “end their civilization.”
We want to help the people. We want to free the people. We only want to punish and kill their leaders and their military.
So, what is behind Door #3? I may have a better strategy.
It’s clear with just today’s violations of the ceasefire (already!), Iran still does not take our threats seriously. It’s clear with their proposed peace plan, Iran is still not serious. We can’t just declare victory and go home. But we can’t just end their civilization all in one night either.
So, here’s my idea. Instead of a hard deadline to “end civilization” and destroy their country forever, let’s try “Show and Tell.”
Rather than all or nothing, let’s “end civilization” one power plant at a time, one oil or gas facility at a time, one water treatment plant at a time.
After each major strike- with lights out, or water out, or gas out of business for one major sector- demand total unconditional surrender.
If their answer is no, we hit another major oil, or gas, or water, or power plant. Keep twisting the knife. Keep “ending civilization” one major hit at a time. After each one, demand surrender.
That’s “Show and Tell.” This proves we mean business. This proves we will eventually (if they keep saying NO to surrender) “end civilization” as they know it. We aren’t fooling around.
As each major power source is destroyed, we keep offering them the chance to surrender.
If they don’t, that’s on them.
President Trump and America were more than fair. If in the end, we have to go to the final option, and “completely end civilization” as they know it, we are not to blame. We gave them every opportunity to avoid total destruction. America was the good guy. There can be no world anger and finger pointing.
And as a bonus, this is Exhibit A for President Trump’s “Peace Through Strength” strategy- this is how we teach the world a lesson.
This strategy is similar to how we ended WW2. We dropped one atomic bomb on Hiroshima on August 6th, 1945. Japan still refused to surrender. So, we dropped a second atomic bomb on Nagasaki on August 9th.
Japan, fearing “the end of their civilization,” finally capitulated, and agreed to unconditional surrender.
But what we did not do, was drop ten atomic bombs on ten cities across Japan all at once. We dropped them one at a time, and gave them a chance after each bombing to surrender.
I call it “Show and Tell.”
Let’s hit Iran the same exact way as we hit Japan to end WW2. But no nukes needed. We have the most powerful conventional bombs in world history. We can wipe out power, water, gas and oil- one major target at a time. Until Iran’s leaders come to their senses.
And President Trump will be seen as fair and merciful. He gave Iran every chance to end the pain. He never used nukes. And he never bombed civilian populations.
That’s our 3rd option. “Show and Tell.”

Four “British Hikers” Caught on Golden Road After Illegally Entering U.S. from Canada: Court Records
Four British nationals were apprehended by U.S. Border Patrol agents in a remote stretch of Somerset County woods after illegally crossing from Canada into the United States on April 3, federal court documents filed this week reveal.
One of them captured the whole thing on a GoPro camera, narrating a celebration as the group set foot on American soil.
“I can confirm you are now on US Soil,” Mohammed Sultan Saleh narrated on video as the group crossed through thick forest just a few hundred yards from the St. Zacharie Port of Entry in northwestern Somerset County, according to an affidavit sworn by U.S. Border Patrol Agent Scott Hanton and filed April 7 in U.S. District Court for the District of Maine.
Another man in the group — Ali Mohammed Ali Abdullah — can be heard on the recording asking, “I’m on US Soil?” Saleh replied by showing his phone screen with GPS coordinates displayed, and declared, “Now, we are in the US. We just made it, baby.”
The bust began with an unlikely pair of informants: two maple sugar workers heading into Canada who spotted four men of apparent Middle Eastern appearance walking south along the Golden Road near mile marker 90 — in the wrong direction to be casual hikers.

For those unfamiliar with the Golden Road, it’s a 96-mile, primarily unpaved private logging road in Maine, stretching from Millinocket west to the Quebec border — and there’s nothing but trees to see for 95.9 of those miles and no cell service.
The unidentified maple sugar workers flagged down a U.S. Customs and Border Protection officer at the St. Zacharie Port of Entry at approximately 9:15 a.m. to alert them to the bizarre sighting.
By 9:40 a.m., the same workers had returned to the U.S. side with more intelligence: a third man had told them that two men in a gray Nissan parked on the Golden Road were asking passersby for fuel and Wi-Fi so they could contact the people they were supposed to pick up. At 10:13 a.m., that same third man called back — the Nissan had turned up near his maple sugar shack at mile marker 80.
A Border Patrol agent and the CBP officer loaded up a marked patrol vehicle and headed south on the Golden Road. At mile marker 90, they spotted fresh footprints in the soft dirt. At mile marker 87, they found the men themselves — four individuals attempting to conceal themselves in roadside vegetation.
“One of the four men was acting nervously,” Hanton wrote in his affidavit. “The two officers took the four men into custody without incident.”
Although the Go Pro recording would show the men indisputably entered the U.S. illegally and intentionally, they initially claimed they were ‘just going for a hike.’
When questioned about their citizenship, all four told agents they were British citizens. They claimed they didn’t know they had entered the United States, a claim the Go Pro recording revealed to be a lie.
After being transported to the Jackman Border Patrol station, the men were identified as Ali Mohammed Ali Abdullah, 18, of Liverpool, England; Hameed Mohammed Nagi; Ibrahim Ayyub Khan; and Mohammed Sultan Saleh — all British nationals, according to court documents.
Their stories didn’t hold up.
Abdullah declined to answer questions. Nagi claimed he was just going on a hike with the group. Saleh echoed that line — but federal agents had already found the GoPro footage on his phone, along with a series of telling Google searches conducted April 3: “bangor from my location,” “boston from bangor,” “new york from boston,” and — critically — “is st zacharie border crossing still used the one near quebec golden road.”
That last search would appear to put to rest any claim that Saleh was unaware he had crossed an international border.
The gray Nissan the maple sugar workers had described was still sitting near mile marker 80 when agents returned — out of gas. Two men were inside. They identified themselves as U.S. citizens.
Before the driver could fully exit the vehicle, a CBP officer observed him reach under the driver’s seat. When agents checked, they found a loaded 9mm handgun.
The two men in the Nissan were taken to Jackman as well, in connection with what the affidavit describes as “a suspected alien smuggling event.” The passenger of the vehicle later admitted to investigators that the driver had intended to pick up one of the four men — someone the driver said he had dropped off in the same Golden Road area approximately 30 days earlier, according to Homeland Security Investigations Special Agent Pierre Mathieu, who briefed Hanton.
A forensic review of the driver’s cell phone found text messages with an individual believed to be one of the four men, discussing expected arrival times and pickup logistics, according to the court filing.
Federal prosecutors’ motion for pretrial detention adds a further wrinkle to the story.
Abdullah, identified as the lead defendant in the criminal complaints, had previously run afoul of U.S. immigration authorities. His application to extend his U.S. visa was denied in March 2025, and he departed the country in May 2025, the motion states.
Prosecutors allege that Canadian authorities had recorded his arrival in Canada on April 1, 2026 — two days before the Maine crossing — traveling on a United Kingdom passport.
“Law enforcement authorities are attempting to ascertain the purpose of his travel to Maine,” the motion states.
All four men are charged with one count each of Entry Without Inspection, a Class B misdemeanor under 8 U.S.C. § 1325(a)(1), which carries a maximum sentence of six months in federal prison and a $5,000 fine. The case is assigned to U.S. Magistrate Judge John C. Nivison.
Abdullah appeared before the court on April 7 and waived his right to both a preliminary hearing and a detention hearing, consenting to remain in federal custody pending trial. The court accepted his waiver and ordered him detained.
Trial is scheduled to begin June 3, 2026, before Magistrate Judge Nivison. Pretrial motions are due April 21.
The three co-defendants — Nagi, Khan, and Saleh — have related cases pending in the same district.
