President Obama | The Professor's Convatorium

Americans have heard a lot recently about how “Iran was 2-3 months away from getting a nuclear bomb/weapon.” And despite the POTUS and his top cabinet members, along with his Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, and DoD Pete Hegseth, the American people/taxpayers have been repeatedly told wrongly by tRump, Leavitt, and Hegseth that Iran was about to gain a nuclear bomb(s) to attack the United States. They credit Benjamin Netanyahu and the IDF (Israeli Defense Force) for the “intelligence” (we now know was a lie) for justifying an all out war against Iran in March 2026 on their military and possibly Iran’s infrastructure. After being wrongfully attacked by the U.S. and Israeli militaries, based on intentionally bad, inaccurate intelligence from Israel, our POTUS and his administration have spun the war in all kinds of false misdirection and narratives on the American people.

What is more poignant, profound, and telling about this baseless costly tRump war with Iran was that the issue/problem of Iranian nuclear weapons against the West was factually already dealt with and successfully managed back in 2015 with President Barack Obama and our European allies, along with China and Russia, in the landmark treaty of the JCPOA championed by President Obama. Watch this 13-min video-clip:

In other words, everything that our current POTUS, Press Secretary Leavitt, and DoD Hegseth keep repeating ad nauseum about Iran’s perceived nuclear capability… is bogus and wrong within verified historical context. The Iran nuclear threat to Israel and the U.S. and its European allies was already resolved and working in 2015-2016. Period. No debate.

But sadly and very costly to the U.S., our POTUS and his administration completely “obliterated” that deal, the JCPOA, to use one of tRump’s favorite words: obliterated. Iran was complying with the deal, until our current POTUS effed it all up and caused the drastic ripple-effects of self-arrogance and military bullying for all the world to suffer through. Now we are much worse off, no thanks to tRump’s gullibility and his cult-members of MAGA and all their hardline supporters in America.

Here is how well the Iran Nuclear Deal was working. Iran had:

Shipped 25,000 pounds of enriched uranium out of the country
Dismantled and removed two-thirds of its centrifuges
Removed the calandria from its heavy water reactor and filled it with concrete
Provided unprecedented access to its nuclear facilities and supply chain

Because Iran had completed these steps in 2016, the U.S. and international community could have begun the next phase under the JCPOA, which meant the U.S. would begin lifting its nuclear-related sanctions on Iran. However, a number of U.S. sanctions authorities and designations would have continued to remain in place. And along with the above successful deal-points, these six sanctions were to remain in place under Obama’s nuclear deal with Iran:

Sanctions on missile technologies and conventional weapons
Terror-List Sanctions that identify Iran as a state sponsor of terro
Targeted sanctions on anyone connected with Iran’s support of terror
Authority to target Iran’s development of ballistic missiles
Authority to target Iran’s human rights abuses and censorship
Authority to sanction Iran’s destabilizing regional activities, including in Syria and Yemen

*It could be argued that tRump and his Administration intended, planned all along to create a “without a deal” Iranian condition just to start an unnecessary war*

Therefore Americans, remember that back in 2015-2016 everything that tRump and his administration are spewing out of their lying mouths had already been successfully achieved against Iran to secure our safety and of foreign interests. There was no need whatsoever for the current childish POTUS to trash this historic nuclear deal by Obama with Iran, which was achieved and succeeding. Everything that the tRump administration has now royally fucked up was already resolved and working!

This begs the question, was tRump’s trashing and killing of the JCPOA deal of 2015 merely a personal vendetta against Barack Obama? Of course it was. And now look what the baby toddler tRump has caused on ordinary Americans and he has no off-ramp to end it without losing face and consequently making everything much, much worse for the entire globe. So he and his MAGA loyalists continue to lie, redirect, and scramble like Keystone Cops for any approval ratings with the primaries looming in Oct/Nov 2026.

What a royal fuck-up this president has been… in both of his presidential terms! There is no other way to paint this presidential political tragedy and catastrophe created by DJT and his hardline MAGA cult-members.

There was NEVER a real threat from Iran to gain a nuclear weapon any time soon. Fact. But now it is a lot more real BECAUSE OF our current POTUS and his sycophant cult-members. Fact.

“By the people…”

As I began teaching my middle school and high school students one day about the meaning and power of American citizenship, I realized that several of the basic concepts of our government and how it functions the same from bottom to top seemed alien, even to the high schoolers. I had been taught these principles by my parents before I reached fifth grade. As a result, I guided my students back through a quick review and retaught some of these basic concepts and methods, all used successfully in our country (for the most part) for the last 230 plus years. But something else struck me as peculiar.

Many adults have the same naïvety as my students I stand before in my classroom. Of course the reasons for this naïvety should not be oversimplified. However, as is the case with any child on any given day, disabilities or not, they learn how to manipulate situations to meet what their natural, youthful self-centeredness desires. Recognizing this side of human nature, history shows that if this type of attitude and behavior is not modified at an early age, or at least addressed, then the families of the United States of America grow and nurture adults with firmly learned compounded narrow-mindedness; youthful egotists in adult bodies if you will. Two integral components of a productive, proactive American adult is neglected: ownership and collaboration. How often do you hear these two simple terms in politics? More to the point, how often do you hear the terms and their real meaning during Presidential election years?

The making of American citizens

I am constantly baffled by American citizens whining incessantly about the current President and or his political party. In just about any public place or on any public forum or social media, you can always find jabs and derogatory remarks about one man, or one political ideal screwing up this country. Sadly, I hear this from my middle and high school students just as much! Where on earth are they hearing or being taught this annoying whining about one man or one ideal? I promise you this, not in my classroom and I hope not in any publicly funded classroom! By the way, American people are not ruled, governed, or enslaved by or to one man. It has thankfully been this way for yes, 235 something years. If the American public are proactive in their families, communities, states, and federal government — as has been given to them freely according to our Constitution — and proactive in self-ownership of their elected officials, then the reality is this: YOU are the one to whine about.

Also, if you find yourself in the “minority” of American laws and policies, then once again our system of government freely provides to you the methods of COLLABORATION within your community, state, and federal groups to begin your revolution of change. That is exactly how our nation’s forefathers constructed our government in the 1700’s and setting it up the same for you today.

Yet, do not be fooled into thinking that “revolutionary change” is in any way done by “THEM“. On the contrary, it is you who must be actively or proactively involved. You must sacrifice your own time and efforts to gain the change you seek. It is you who must learn to be a master of collaboration and diplomacy, not “them“. If you are truly convicted about your policies and ideology, then YOU become the next Thomas Jefferson, or Abraham Lincoln, or Martin Luther King, Jr. And I, as your equal, will first educate myself thoroughly on your dream of change, and if it coincides with my ideals, then perhaps together we can collaborate and take ownership of our social system as it was meant to be in the first place, and make those changes happen.

Good government starts in your own family

However, allow me to point out that before you can create a better America, or a better state or community, you must first have your own house and family in good, happy working order. The cliché “Those who can be trusted with the little things, can be trusted with the greater things” is never more true in this case. What is taught, nurtured, and matured in the home will either add to or subtract from our country. More precisely, if you were taught the basic principles of ownership, collaboration (teamwork), understanding, and tolerance for diversity, then your chances of making America better are profoundly excellent. If not, then you will find yourself always swimming upstream with no one to aid you, no matter how much you whine aloud.

President Obama, or the political party he affiliates himself, have never been the entire problem America faces today. Americans are sleeping in the very bed they have made for themselves. Whether it is a lack of principles, education, family values, collaboration, or whatever your slogan, take ownership America for your inactivity in local, state, and federal government, or your shortcomings of collaboration, understanding, and intolerance. But quit blaming “them”. Quit blaming one man. Pointing fingers at opposing political officials only demonstrates a severe lack of collaboration and ownership. Our governing officials, laws and policies are only a mirror of not only each American citizen’s voice, but equally our societal depth, from our own family right up to our federal officials.

President Obama, proudly take your seat. It isn’t your lack of leadership that has America in this predicament. It is each of us citizens, on every level; so…will the REAL America please standup, act collaboratively, and take ownership of your country’s good and bad. Our current economic and societal woes are “…for the people, BY the people“. It does not say by one man.
