The Morning Report — 3/3/26
Good morning kids. And so, despite President Trump serving up heaping helpings of KABOOM to Iran's leadership . . .
President Donald Trump said Monday the initial strikes targeting Iran killed dozens of Iranian leaders during a breakfast meeting with Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Trump confirmed Khamenei’s death in a post on Truth Social Saturday, hours after he announced the commencement of Operation Epic Fury early that morning. “Special Report” host Bret Baier told “America’s Newsroom” co-hosts Bill Hemmer and Dana Perino that Trump was “pleased”with the progress of Operation Epic Fury.
. . . over here it's turning into déjà vu all over again. Or is it? Has the President betrayed the MAGA movement and one of its bedrock principles of no more endless and pointless wars? Obviously the usual suspects on the Left and Right are bleating this out to sow political division for their own advantage . . . As an aside, I have neither seen nor heard of any reaction from John Kerry. Considering he was one of the chief architects of Obama's nuclear deal that put Iran squarely on the path to getting the bomb, and was often parlaying and paling around with Javad Zarif and other big wigs of the Iranian regime, Even post his tenure at Foggy Bottom, his silence is interesting. Imagine if his rotten criminal corpse turned up in a Tehran mortuary! But, it may be semantics but in my estimation what we're seeing with Iran is not going to be endless and certainly it's not pointless.
The two questions, which most of us outside the government simply do not have answers to, are: First: Was the threat posed by Iran really that great? Second: Can we effectively and efficiently install a friendly regime in Iran? Those are the two questions. Everything else is noise. . . . . . This is not being pitched as Iraq 2.0. It is being pitched as a decisive, overwhelming, time-limited force. The early days have been extremely successful. Military leadership decapitated. Key targets neutralized. A regime that has openly threatened American interests for decades suddenly thrown off balance. But early success does not guarantee long-term success. A billion things could go wrong.Indeed. And so far, so much has gone so incredibly right, the deaths of US servicemen as well as any innocent civilians notwithstanding, but such is the nature of war. As I and others have said and written here and on the podcast as well as elsewhere, The Iranian regime such as it was (and I hope and pray my use of the past tense is correct) had already spent the better part of nearly 50 years spilling rivers of blood, quite a bit of it American, all over the world as far and away the number one state sponsor of terrorism and also in that time had been hell bent for leather in building and acquiring nuclear weapons and sophisticated missile delivery systems, all of which to bring about Armageddon as the precursor to Shiite paradise on Earth and the final conquest of the world, capping off the 1,500-year crusade to make it Islamic from pole to pole and ocean to ocean. Whether or not President Trump truly understands the existential threat that Islam poses to global peace and the advancement of civilization and human development from an historical, ideological and intellectual perspective I can't say. But that he does take that 50 year chants of "Death to America" and the regime's bloody history is self-evident insofar as where we are today. And of course there are other considerations vis a vis this President's desire to see America's status in the world as its preeminent power and the driving force of its destiny, not merely for his own place in history but for the sake of ensuing America's security and prosperity well past its 250th anniversary this coming July.
With Kharg Island, Iran’s main oil-export terminal, in flames after Saturday’s US-led attack, China’s energy lifeline is going up in smoke. Ignoring international sanctions, oil-thirsty China had long been the Ayatollah Khamenei regime’s main buyer. To be sure, China was a cheap customer, paying well below the going market price for Iran’s bootleg oil. Not only that, it insisted in paying in Chinese yuan, not dollars, ensuring the money would flow back to China. Beijing’s slick sales pitches convinced the Iranians to spend their oil billions buying China’s military and telecommunications equipment — like the “state-of-the-art” radar systems that now lie in smoldering ruins after failing to detect the incoming American air strikes. But the decapitation of Iran’s leadership and the destruction of its Chinese-made defense arsenal aren’t the worst of Beijing’s Middle East woes. Iran’s reckless missile barrages have united the entire region against it — causing an enormous loss of face for its chief international backer. Two years ago, China was riding high in the Arab world. In March 2023 it brokered a normalization agreement between Shiite Iran and its longtime Sunni adversary, Saudi Arabia. Saudi Investment Minister Khalid Al-Falih praised the new Middle Eastern power broker. A multipolar world had emerged, he declared — and cooperation between the Gulf states and China would be “a significant part of the new order.” A year into President Donald Trump’s second term, China’s role in that new order seems to be shrinking by the day. It’s not just that Iran, the anchor of China’s Middle East ambitions, is now an international pariah. That’s only the latest in a long series of recent geopolitical setbacks for America’s chief adversary. . . . . . From Panama to Venezuela, from Greenland to Iran, the pieces of the puzzle are falling into place. Trump is thinking very bigly. As US energy production ramps up, China is not only deprived of cheap oil from Venezuela and Iran, but also the ability to pay for it by printing renminbi. . . . . .His goal is to transform the global order to America’s advantage — which necessarily means greatly reducing the malign influence of Communist China. “Winning without fighting is the acme of warfare,” the ancient Chinese strategist Sunzi famously said. And where China is concerned, it seems that one of Sunzi’s best students is a yangguizi — a “foreign devil” by the name of Donald J. Trump.Have a great day!

Of course, just hoping that the regime fails and the Shah returns in glory or the people rise up and form a new government on their own is one of those pixie dust and unicorn farts level of wishing for the best. I have to believe Trump and Marco have some sort of plan for the aftermath, but I have seen no indications that they do. Of course, it is probably wise to keep thst thing close to the vest for now.

1) don't care; irrelevant. "Just war" theory is a suicidal fraud-- that we must only go to war to defend. It's exploited by tyrants while hobbling the good to permanent inaction.
Iran killed Americans. That alone is justification. Future threat is irrelevant.
2) don't care; irrelevant. "Pottery Barn" war and peace is an even uglier and more destructive theory than just war.
We "owe" Iran and it's people-- even the freedom loving--nothing. Jack, diddly and shit.
Doesn't matter what shape the new government takes, as long as it knows to it's core: Harm one hair in the head of an American and you all will die.

US intelligence is (was) shared with MI6, who shares it with Lloyd's, who then had a massive risk analysis advantage over all insurers, not just making them the dominant insurer but also setting large loss policy rates worldwide.
And giving the UK hundreds of billions in revenue. And control.
If the UK had foreknowlege, they can cancel or threaten to cancel shipping policies to force businesses to demand no action but appeasement in Iran.
Too late they are now canceling policies trying to force Trump back to a limited war that returns the status quo, blaming the war for the canceling.
Iran's ships are sunk.
We control the strait.

On Crowder yesterday, it was pointed out that we slow rolled engagement with North Korea. Working with them, talking to them, and now they have nuclear warheads and missiles capable of hitting California.
Once the threat posed by Iran became "that great", it would have been too late to do anything about it other than prepare for mega-deaths around the world.

Last week, Elon Musk’s X launched a landmark legal challenge against a $140 million fine issued by the European Commission last December under the Digital Services Act, an EU censorship law. The case was filed at the General Court of the EU, which hears high-stakes challenges to EU regulatory and enforcement actions.

Benefit: they work with each other and the Gov position is really a function of who has the best Rolodex since the Gov doesn't do more than appoint people.
Which leaves Railroad Com. Hawk is a junk yard dog but he has no connection other than in the field, and Bo is definitely connected as Tarrant Cty GOP President.
Everyone else wants to regulate the crap out of the oilfields and people want to bring their property taxes down so energy is going to be the larger part of the pie that the schools eat.

Trump has been a public figure virtually his entire life. For those of us who grew up around NYC he was a constant presence in the media and always willing to give his opinion on any issue. Shocking, I know.
He's been railing against China since he was in his 20s because of their predatory business tactics which Trump dealt with first hand putting up buildings and buying steel and other building products. He was also very clear about his feelings that the terrorist regime in Iran should be taken out. He's been remarkably consistent on both issues and there are videos and news articles about both.
The west has been under attack and losing ground against an alliance led by China that was supported and fueled by rogue regimes like Venezuela and Iran. Trump is reinvigorating the western alliance and putting America first. Amazing to watch.

Daily Tech News 3 March 2026
Top Story
- Motorola and GrapheneOS have announced a partnership to produce Motorola phones running GrapheneOS. (Liliputing)
Though I'm not sure what else they would announce.
GrapheneOS is a version of Android without Google's proprietary software. It currently only runs on, uh, Google's proprietary hardware, which I'm not sure is entirely helpful.
Having it run on something else as well might be a useful option if you want to steer away from the Apple / Google duopoly for security and privacy reasons but aren't still looking for something officially supported.
Tech News
- Microsoft did not ban the word "microslop" from its official Copilot Discord forum and then shut the whole thing down when people kept using the offending term, or, well, they did but they say it was due to spam. (Windows Latest)
Sure, Microsoft. I believe you.
- Anthropic got declaude. (Bleeping Computer)
I was doing server stuff today and didn't notice. I do use Claude Code to get boilerplate stuff done quickly, like generating test cases, but I didn't miss it.
- The US government is moving to ban memory chips from Chinese companies YTMC, CXMT, and SMIC... From government devices. (WCCFTech)
Which doesn't really change anything for the rest of us.
- The Minisforum N1 AI is a combination NAS and desktop PC and is not made by Minisforum. (Notebook Check)
Typo by Notebook Check - the device is made by Morefine.
It has an eight-core Ryzen CPU, four 3.5" bays, three M.2 slots, dual 10Gb Ethernet ports, and an 800W power supply and room for a desktop graphics card.

Kids who pass off foundational cognitive tasks like memorization to AI will be lost in an ocean of people just like them, all powerless to think their own thoughts, dependent on bad mechanical imitations of mental acts they have no capacity to perform or judge for themselves.
They’ll grow up into glazed-over subaltern dupes at the mercy of machinists who view them as little more than farm animals to milk for training data.
You could hardly do a worse disservice to a young person right now than to empty out the contents of their soul and strip them of the mental armor that only a rigorous literary education can provide.
And all in the name of some gullible claptrap about humanity and tech that wouldn’t stand up to five minutes’ scrutiny if the people peddling it and swilling it down had ever read a single thing worth reading.

If you shuffle a deck of cards properly, the exact order you get has almost certainly never existed before in human history and never will again.
The number of possible arrangements of 52 cards is 52 factorial, which works out to a number so large that it has 68 digits. To put it in perspective: even if every person who ever lived shuffled a deck once per second since the beginning of the universe, you would still barely scratch the surface of all possible arrangements.
So every time you shuffle a deck, you are most likely holding a sequence that is completely unique in the history of the universe.

This one's going to need a homicide investigation. News inside of Fairfax County, Virginia might carry a follow-up story, but I suspect the rest of the world will likely never hear more about what happened unless one or more involved is a sufficiently important person, or it ends up being an embarrassment for the State Department.

Quote I "This is about national security; this is about what's possible in the Middle East; this is about being a good partner to the Gulf States...I am a Democrat. I've been a huge Democrat, and I am incredibly disappointed with my party; I do not see myself in them in this moment,” Moj Madhara, co-founder of the Iranian Diaspora Collective and a Democrat
Quote II "When a family is boating to a restaurant or simply enjoying the waters in our area, they should not have to worry about being stopped, boarded, and delayed for no real reason beyond a random inspection," State Sen. Chris Elliott (R-Josephine, AL)
Quote III "When you tax something at a high rate, customers are less likely to purchase that product and are more likely to identify alternatives," Tiffany Ingram, the executive director of the Cannabis Business Association of Illinois
Quote IV The party's only agenda is 'we hate Trump,' and anything he says, we're going to do the opposite of it. And it makes me very sad for the party." Robert F. Kennedy,Jr.
A total of 39 people now face charges in the anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement invasion of Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, last month, according to a superseding indictment that the federal district court unsealed Friday. “YOU CANNOT ATTACK A HOUSE OF WORSHIP,” Attorney General Pam Bondi wrote on X after the court unsealed the indictment. “If you do so, you cannot hide from us—we will find you, arrest you, and prosecute you.” Bondi announced that federal agents had already arrested 25 of the 30 new defendants included in the new indictment.
Had Matthew been Moe of the Religion of Pieces he would not have been arrested, charged and convicted. Instead the victims would be sent to re-education camps via Low-T patient Keir Starmer's edict.
A sexual predator who repeatedly flashed lone women travelling on the Tube has been jailed for eight months. Matheus Prestes, 30, targeted his victims on the Bakerloo line in a spree lasting four months from June to October last year. He admitted eight counts of exposure at Inner London Crown Court earlier this month. The British Transport Police (BTP) praised the bravery of the women in coming forward to report the pervert.
From fantasy photoshoots in the Maldives, to kelp forest "strolls" along California's Catalina Island and Taiwan's luxe hotel swims, swimming in a tail is different wherever you do it. I am struggling to maintain my dignity – and my buoyancy – in Nagoya, Japan. My legs are encased in a violet-hued mermaid tail, and what I thought would be a graceful glide feels more like a splash.
GOLDSBORO, N.C. -- A rancher in North Carolina had a nightmare experience in a car wash recently, when wire fencing sitting in the bed of his pickup truck got entangled in the rotating brushes. Kyle Corbett shared video of the aftermath on TikTok, writing, "Lesson today is don't go in the car wash with high tensile wire in the bed of your truck."
In a financial filing made late last year, Greenpeace USA said it does not have the money to pay the $404m ordered by the jury [reduced by the judge to $345M] “or to continue normal operations if the judgment is enforced”. The group said it had cash and cash equivalents of $1.4m and total assets of $23m as of 31 December 2024.Maybe little Greta The RetardTM can help out.

The Triggernometry men just had a sit-down with former MI6 spy Aimen Dean and NYT bestselling national security journalist Richard Miniter, for a deep dive into the geostrategic and ideological ramifications of the Iran war -- and the ramifications of NOT doing it.
The Best Iran War Breakdown on the Internet:
https://tinyurl.com/uj2j97df
They go into, among other things, the global ramifications WRT China and Russia; the nature of the IRGC's form of Islam (scarier than you might think); what the Gulf region Muslim states really think about Iran; the conflict between the CIA's wishes (they have actually given Israel a no-kill list for the regime heads, allegedly) and those of Israel, and more.
Bottom line, this is a big gamble, but not excising the Twelver cancer is a far bigger gamble. The whole conversation is fascinating, particularly Aiman's comments, as he's a native with a very different POV.

One item raised on Twitter earlier today: many of the tankers stopped in the Strait of Hormuz have had their insurance cancelled. Not even jacked-up rates, just cancelled.
The account in question argued this could be a huge deal. Most global insurance is still run out of London, one way or another, and Lloyd's probably gets a lot of its info from MI6, which in turn gets it from us.
If the Trump admin has been pissed off enough by Starmer to stop sharing info, that could have huge ramifications for the insurance business worldwide.

The EnviroMENTAL level of misappropriation is a bit different as I understand it. They exist on federal grants mostly. You might recall the EPA putting a hold on $10 Billion designated to various environMENTAL destinations by the EPA. It ended up sitting in Citibank (not sure if it was ever resolved).
The usual process is that the zealots at the EPA designate massive payouts to entities like Greenpeace and a portion of that money finances lawsuits to institute more regulations on industry, or challenge those being removed. Then the lawyers for the EPA roll over on the case. The enviro's get to keep a portion of those grants as pure "income/donations". USAID wasn't needed.

Well, let's see, lawyers write the law, ergo lawyers will get paid. AI says A secured creditor gets paid first in bankruptcy because their claims are backed by collateral. A lawsuit winner with a judgment against the bankrupt party typically falls into the category of general unsecured claims, which are paid last.
So, if the lawyer sets up a collateralized payment set up, I, with the authorutay of a Boasberg, do hereby decree the Lawyer get paid first.
I think I'm ready for the bar. Drinks not tests.

Has anyone done any supplemental testosterone and had it make a big difference in their daily life?
I have a central tremor, and having my hands shake pretty badly some days is really pissing me off. At the same time, my shaky muscles also feel very weak. For example, I have trouble opening jars that should open relatively easily.
I wonder if my lack of strength and tremors may at least be ameliorated with a little higher T level.
(I hate to say this in a Moron thread, but problems of a sexual nature seem to be one of the main symptoms/complaints for low T. So purely for medical purposes, I will add that Mr. Peeps still works just fine.)

There are other sleep studies that look into things like REM duration and repetition, and other brainwave stuff, but most sleep studies just check to see if you are breathing while sleeping, and how often you wake up because you are suffocating.
The take-home variety is usually of the second type.
Why any insurance would deny a sleep study is a mystery to me, since the solution is pretty cheap, compared to not treating sleep apnea. But insurance companies defy all logic anyway.

______________________
One of the clauses in a policy of that nature would provide for a Cancellation based on a significant increase to the risk. So, that tracks. HOWEVER, usually in such a matter, they still have to give a 30 to 60 day notification. Depends on the wording of the policy and whether the word "immediacy" is sitting there in that clause.

If you think about it, in many of the neurological diseases, ALS, MS, Parkinson's, etc., there really hasn't been great progress in treating such diseases. A few drugs that slow the process maybe a little, but no cures or great breakthroughs. Kind of sad. If all you can do is throw some Lyrica or Neurontin at a problem, it's rather depressing.

I went on testosterone gel for a few months. It does work, gives more energy and passion.
Losing 50 pounds also helped with my erections.
Not, with my marriage, it means a damn thing.
But supplemental testosterone is absolutely worth trying.

I had surgery twenty years ago and had a good excuse not to sleep over the one night. A nurse that took care of me, and I knew her when I was an instructor and she was a student nurse, told me, "You'd think you had your tonsils out (vs the surgery)." My uvula had apparently gotten stuck on the ET tube and I whined about it the most. Muh throat! An anesthesia person came and looked and said I did not need a steroid. Ok. I looked and think I could have tied a knot with it as it was stretched and dragging down my throat.
My son and I compared throats in the mirror of the loo and he said his airway was worse than mine due to his tonsils.
This was after I refused a sleeping pill because "my airway might close."
My surgeon cracked up hearing this the next day and said if I had a daughter vs a son she would have been called to come in and deal with me.I guess meaning this son could talk sense into me.
I consented to a half of a sleeping pill and as I was sort of dosing off I heard him in the bathroom calling his Dad that the lunatic was finally under control. I am a great patient!

Many years ago the Falcons were going to a big game, Super Bowl maybe, but star players got caught night before paying for sex and drugs at the gold club up on 41. I guess the place was pretty much a major brothel for athletes.
Any way it closed down which suited me because there was a great sandwich place nearby that always had terrible parking because of all the gooner overflow.
I’d say, my rule is if you’re gonna invest money in it, a good sandwich always beats sex. And if you get the right woman you get a lifetime supply of sandwiches and sex for the low cost of all your money. Well,… it looks good on paper,… Think of the P/E ratio!

Ah, but that was said over and over and again about Trump... It didn't matter, because an electoral majority in one election and a flat-out popular majority in another said "fuck all that." And that was *after* they actually did cancel the man. On social media, then the courts, and then at the point of a gun.
Carlson, on the other hand, is just a loathsome charlatan, with an ever-shrinking handful of credulous dullards in tow.

Softails are a beautiful bike. I have 3 of them. 2 softail customs and a springer softail. They aren't what I call a touring bike, but you can do decent long rides on them no problem. Some guys will put on a windshield and leather saddle bags on them, and with the right seat they'll ride across the country. They are easy to ride. When you're ready we can get you into the right one. They can be had fairly cheap with low miles. I passed up one this year that had a bunch of nice stuff done to it. It was $3500, and it was done. If I didn't have 3 of them I would have grabbed it.

And he's making a pretty good run at it.

My guess, from announcements from the Iranian supreme council, is that there is a complete loss of coordination between the government and the outlying units like the launchers, and they are popping them off because they can't figure out what they are supposed to be doing instead. They are just working on the last orders they got before the tomahawks started landing

For whatever reason, CAKE's "showcase sessions" type of performances, like at radio stations and guitar stores, tend to be... not great. They're off-putting. Singer/songwriter John McCrea is showboating and his voice is all over the place. But this live show, which I have cued to "Never There," is fairly straight-forward by their standards. It's hard to see the body of Gabe Nelson's bass for most of it, but a close-up at one point plainly shows the characteristic "split coil" of a Fender Precision Bass, same as the Gin Blossoms guy I linked last night.

Not a bit. I don't think he's the ill we need to cure. He's just a charlatan. Has been since the bow tie days at CNN.
If anything, I think the Jonah Goldbergs and the David Frenches of the world are a much bigger problem than the Carlsons and Owenses, if for no reason than the thin veneer of "respectability."
Funny thing is, while I hurl vituperation at all of them, I only get called out for """"censorship"""" about precious little Carlson - and only in the last six months or so, though I've been calling him a charlatan for many years before.
He scratches your itch, and you love him for that, but he's still a charlatan. Your problem - not mine.

No we’ve forgotten the things they did or supported that we strongly agreed with because they have now been ‘cancelled’ by the Right ( I include myself in the Right) .
Trump called Romney’s illegal immigration plan cruel which is ironically hilarious. John Roberts was a strong constitutionalist judge before he got on the SC , Lynn Cheney was also on the right side of issues before Trump made her nuts. Kind of like MTG .

Sounds like an Electra Glide, basically a full dresser. Some of the dudes I ride with pack their saddle bags with ice and beer. Annoying bastards, because the bags have drain holes, so they're constantly dripping water. My 4th bike is an electraglide ultra classic with the tour pack and the saddle bags. When we do our yearly 3-4 day trip they constantly want to turn the bags on my bike into a cooler. Its like wtf, how much more beer do you need while were out. You're stopping at every frigging bar you see anyway. Every year we leave at least 1 1/2 cases behind in whatever cabin we rent.

The reason I've been ridiculing him for so long is that he's always been this way.
Back when he was a Fox CHUD for Trump, I told people not to listen too closely to him, because of when he was a Fox CHUD for Bush, and a CNN CHUD before. When he struck out on his own, he said normal things for about ten minutes - while he was spinning up his next group of credulous retards. Then it was, of course, off to the marketshare races for him, like always.
It's not drugs. Unless Pfizer has injected him with Charlatrex™.*
Don't take Charlatrex if you're allergic to Charlatrex. Contact a physician if you attract retards for more than 4 hours.

Alcohol is a drug, and at 56, Tucker Carlson is old enough for a steady dose of that toxin to have physically degraded his brain, even without him ever getting sloppy in public. "Functioning" alcoholics are not exactly a myth, per se -- no doubt you, the reader, understand your limits -- but you absolutely cannot count on someone else remaining functional.
Ace's cruelty antennae are generally pretty sensitive to things like that. It's a safe bet.

It's actually fascinating how alcohol can present such wildly different effects, because the prefrontal cortex is included in the things it depresses, and the PFC is the executive that regulates overactive parts of the brain. So the alcohol is depressing a node -- say for sadness, or "dark thoughts" (a real brain center), or whatever -- while its suppression of the PFC is also disregulating it, so it goes wild. And it just depends on the person and maybe even mood and time of day which brain centers get to go wild from the reduction in regulation. And that's just any drinker at any time, without even looking at cumulative toxin damage over time.

He probably had a lot of people reining in his worst impulses. Friends, editors, production staff, etc. Then he got very successful, quadrupled his ego, and distanced himself from anyone that would push back.
Being fired meant he could now indulge all of his repressed retard tendencies. Not to mention those just happened to most align with exactly what arab oil princes desire in a mouthpiece, so he could still support himself in the style he was accustomed to.

Sometimes she's just annoying, and sometimes she's the only thing pulling them back from the ledge of loving Big Gov't and the Imperial Executive just because it's currently "our guy" behind the desk. The best thing Trump is doing is shrinking gov't; this time they have to eliminate ten regulations for each one they put in place, up from (IIRC) three his first term, but as we saw with Biden almost everything can be undone practically overnight.
We need Congress to eliminate the departments and defund the programs and claw back the rule-making power in general, but the others can lose sight of it with a personality they like making moves that they like. So even a lolbertarian can serve a purpose.

They are the "smart" girls, donchano?
I first started noticing them when that DEI hire as President of Harvard -- Claudine Gay -- had her deserved grilling in Congress over the rampant anti-semitism of its campus protests. Now that look is growing by leaps and bounds.

So
Other than monocles (not practical for some purposes) I wear engineer/accountant/scientist black framed glasses circa 1963.
I think these frames were produced in bulk by the government during the Cold War Just in Case.
Like the government pens from the 60s that the IRS used. I think they were made by blind people, indestructible. Probably still have some here somewhere, and will bet this house that they still work.

The Nuge played a gibson byrdland. Believe it or not its not quite as big as you think. It has a very short scale. Where a strat is 25 1/2" scale, a gibson is 24 3/4". The Byrdland was a 23 1/2" scale, which is comically easy to play. A friend of mine had one, a 1959 in cherry with the Florentine cutaway. Les pauls are actually small guitars, only 13" across, so not hard to make them look small. Most of the F hole guitars you are seeing are probably the ES335, or ES355. Those are 16" across. Not huge, but not small.

I had a lovely pair of those in second grade. They were blue, and pointy. I was the height of fashion at the time.
Now mine are black with white polka dots. I don't have the bouffant hair, though. Guess I need to work on the style.

There are but the terms differ between the services so using hierarchy references is easier to standardize.
For example, in the Navy:
E-4 == third class petty officer
E-6 == first class petty officer
E-7 == chief petty officer
The other branches have some silly names for those ranks but who really cares?

I went on Smash's liquid diet with her the week prior to her surgery, then migrated to liquid protien (chicken & beef broth with protein poweder) the first week after surgery for moral support. Now I'm eating ~80 grams of protein per day, with as little fat, carbs, and sugars as possible. 30 minutes before meal time, I drink 16 ounces of water, then I eat slowly with nothing to drink. 30 minutes after the meal, i drink another 16 ounces of water. I don't feel at all hungry, even with a total calorie average around 1600 per day.
Incorporated walkies, up to ~4k steps. My damned hips ache, I've been such a fat lazy shite for too long.

Sounds like you're getting your news from retards.
They were friendly fire incidents from allied air defense who attacked our aircraft because they couldn't properly ID friend or foe because the radar was presumably saturated with drone attacks and they were probably a bit incompetent. IE the exact thing that happened with the Gettysburg (which tried to shoot down 3 US aircraft and nearly accidentally killed their own helicopter as well).

Then there's folks like Mark Dice and Ann Barnhardt, who often have very good things to say, but do have their blind spots that make half their stuff cringeworthy to repulsive. Haven't given up on them because of the gems amongst the excrement.
And then there's Mark Evanier, whose long career in movies, TV, and comics writing has given him a wealth of great stories and insights into those and related industries and characters, but who also is deeply infested with leftyism and TDS. newsfromme.com Evanier has enough good stuff, and his political rants are usually clearly enough marked that I can skip them, that I go to his site every day.
Without Evanier, I might never have seen this (for fans of classic WB cartoons):

Read the USS Gettysburg report. They saw 3 signatures heading to the carrier, thought no friendlies were still flying and shot at them thinking they were drones attacking the carrier. They didn't even bother to make sure their own helicopter wasn't in front of their own missiles they were in such a panic.
The military bases in Kuwait were under drone attacks and people already died so air defense is going to be on edge. Three F-15E's trying to land probably looks a lot like the drone profile.
If our own Navy is making that same mistake, not hard to believe a Kuwaiti SAM or super hornet can make the exact same error.

An incoming missile hit with the 20mm Phalanx, even with depleted uranium shells, is too close. The blown apart debris will hit the ship at high speed. but the warhead should not explode. Still ... KE= 1/2 mv².
I personally watched my shhip's aft Phalanx chop an incoming target (towed by a jet) into two pieces. One half hit the water on the port side, the other half fell into the water on the starboard side.

@EYakoby 30m BREAKING: It's been revealed that nearly all of the Tehran's traffic cameras had been hacked by Israel for years, with algorithms tracking senior officials -- including the supreme leader. One Israeli official said: "We knew Tehran like we know Jerusalem."
Open Source Intel
@Osint613 U.S. President Donald Trump told ABC News that they identified possible candidates to take over Iran, but was killed in the initial airstrikes. "The attack was so successful it knocked out most of the candidates. It's not going to be anybody that we were thinking of because they are all dead. Second or third place is dead."
Robert Spencer collects some of the left's prayers for terrorist attacks against America:
Meanwhile, a Jan. 2026 hot take from far-left "journalist" Stephen Beschloss on X was getting wide circulation on Threads after the death of Khamenei: "No matter how long I live after we get through this dark chapter," Beschloss wrote sagely, "I will never get over the immorality, the amorality, the corruption, the criminality and the cruelty in service to one of the worst humans to ever walk the earth." He didn't mean Khamenei, the mass murderer of tens of thousands of his own people. He meant Trump. Nevertheless, in the race for the most over-the-top expression of Trump-hatred, Beschloss finishes a close second to John Pavlovitz, who bills himself on Threads as an "author, pastor, activist, and storyteller," and on X, where he has nearly 392,000 followers, as "author of 'If God is Love, Don't Be a Jerk.'" Pavlovitz, who is so far to the left that he makes Chairman Mao look reactionary, had this to say after the killing of Khamenei: "Dear World, Please do whatever you need to. Sincerely, Decent Americans."
Paul SperryGavin Newsom is a gaytard:
@paulsperry_ Funny how whenever reporting on a Muslim carrying out a terrorist attack, the MSM reflexively writes it off to "mental illness," but whenever reporting on transgender terrorism, they never mention anything about the trans shooter having mental health problems. In those cases of violence, the suspects are portrayed as relatively normal, while jihadists are clearly just plain nuts, confused individuals completely divorced from Islamic doctrine.
Gavin's gaslighting. Gov. Gavin Newsom has been put in his place by the US gas industry after he tried to "flex" on President Donald Trump over gas prices -- as he presides over the country's highest per-gallon prices.
The California governor took to social media on Saturday following the dramatic US-Israel airstrikes on Iran, which took out both Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. "Average gas prices in California have stayed below $5 for nearly two years. Trump's new war is already rattling markets. We're watching this space. Closely," Newsom's press office wrote on X, sparking derision from many. "Time to school the Pajama Boy who runs this account for the Gov -- because this isn't the flex on Trump he thinks it is," the US Oil & Gas Association, a nonprofit trade association for the domestic oil and natural gas industry, wrote in response before taking the Democrat to task over what it branded Newsom's mismanagement of California's natural resources.
"California imports 63% of its crude from foreign countries -- despite sitting on at least 1.7 billion barrels of proven reserves," the post continued, before breaking down where the Golden State's refineries get their crude oil.

I'm so tired of the Sudden Christianity Syndrome Monetizers. There are definitely converts, of course. But I'd like to see at least twelve months between your "conversion" and the debut of your new podcast. Is that too much to ask? Megyn Kelly has always been a secular feminist shitlib, but she's now routinely identifying as a Believing Catholic lately, too. Weird we didn't hear about this when she was on Fox's corporate payroll. We only hear about it now that she relies directly on the patronage of Christian viewers.
Megyn Kelly’s transformation into heel is fully complete.

Imagine thinking Trump doesn’t make the decisions.
And that somehow he, JD, Rubio, Hegseth etc., were tricked into this by podcasters and radio hosts.

Eitan FischbergerBut Tucker's not done yet: He says that the Iranian missile strikes on his paymasters in Qatar were... arranged by Israel?!?!
@EFischberger Back in 2024, the DOJ indicted two IRGC assassins in two separate plots to murder President Trump. Israel doesn't appear anywhere in the charging docs. Yet here's Tucker inventing out of thin air that Israel planned them in order to stir up tension between Iran and the U.S.
Tucker is an absolute lunatic.
— AG (@AGHamilton29) March 2, 2026

The amazing thing is that it's believable. It could be true or untrue, but Israel's capabilities have been so amply demonstrated the past few years that it's believable on its face.
That must be a strategic benefit. Even if you lie - but not too much, and too outlandishly - you'll be believed. People just believe you can do that, even if you can't. From a psychological warfare standpoint, that must be extremely valuable.

Trump has been skeptical of large-scale and long-running interventions. He has not been shy about interventions as such.
ISIS.
Iran (the earlier one).
Venezuela.
Various military assassinations.
This is much bigger than anything he's done before, but so far his messaging is still fairly consistent: this isn't going to be a conquest followed by administration.
My worry is that this changed. I am sure virtually everyone with his ear is *begging* him - or threatening him - to turn this into a Forever War. I hope he can hold the line. Smash the mullahs and go home.

Did you have your conversion just as your ratings were flagging and get a big shot in the arm to your earnings as a result? My bet is "no."
What's in a man's heart is known only to him and G-d, but this is a trend in the conservative new media and I don't think it's unreasonable to raise an eyebrow. I won't even directly question their faith and certainly won't cast aspersions, but I do think that sudden conversions among media figures with something to gain - and something having nothing to do with the condition of one's soul - from doing so are not out-of-bounds for careful consideration or commentary.

Tucker is old money, mid-Atlantic blue blood. American aristocracy. Those people, as a rule and in general, dislike the Jews and always have. Tucker may just no longer be pretending.

I can't take the gaslighting, guys. I really can't. Conservatives are now running around saying "Iran has been waging war on us for 47 years." Okay then why didn't any of you call for an attack on Iran at any point until now? Why didn't you make a case for Trump "ending the war, not starting it" until precisely the moment when Trump did it? You and I both know that you are latching onto a talking point you never used until 45 seconds ago. You and I both know that almost every conservative influencer in the business was opposed to war with Iran until just now. And now you're trying to use justifications that stretch back decades. It doesn't make any sense. If you changed your mind, fine. Say so. Explain why. You're allowed to change your mind. I've changed my mind about things. But don't try to rewrite history. Be honest about it. There's too much at stake to play these games.

There was an old Columbo TV show where the villain got his accomplice to speed through a camera'd intersection wearing a mask of the villians face to create a fake alibi. A modern take would be a criminal who hacks the cameras to erase his picture taken as he traveled to the victim.

Two things here, Matty.
1. Lots of people have been doing exactly that, for my entire life.
2. I was not one of them. I was opposed to military intervention in Iran primarily because of the risks of "forever war" and risk to American blood and treasure on imperial games of nation-building. That said, we are intervening and now I fully support *winning* this intervention so our men and assets can return home after the successful mission - and I have some faith in Trump's force of will, personality and some of his better advisors to pull this off without a forever war or generalized imperial disaster.
The world ain't as black-and-white as you pretend, and you know it.

I never thought it would be so easy, or done right.
Before the iraq war I mostly told people that I had no idea what the USA should do, and it would be stupid of me to even have an opinion, not knowing the secret intel.
I said I trusted the government.
Then watching that unfold -- The turning point came when there was massive reporting on the strip of road where everyone was getting killed between the green zone and the airport. I pulled up google maps and it was like 5 miles. WTF? we can't defend 5 miles of road? I understood what a fool I was to trust the gov.
So I was not pushing for war in Iran. I am still apprehensive but there is another factor recently - This greatly undermines China and that changes the math.

Many (most) Municipalities in the US have a network of cameras on traffic lights. There's generally comms (all you need is a single strand of fiber for an analog camera) already on the pole along with power and a place to mount it. Burbank CA actually has most lights with a camera and they have an SOC that does real time traffic mitigation (I know, traffic mitigation in CA sounds like an oxymoron)
Now, I don't see the IRGC/Mullahs really concerned about traffic so much as allowing the local Morality Police to make sure no Hijab slips, etc. Coupled with the best choice of camera for Iran being Chinese garbage (I would put money on HikVision). So wall to wall coverage to keep an eye your "adoring" populace coupled with the most exploitable cameras...
The only catch is that the IRGC/Mullahs would connect these centralized viewing places up to the internet. Not something I would do, but higher ups may have required it for oversight.

I can believe that, between the technical aspects of Navy equipment and the time needed to be even marginally proficient at surviving the oceans, it'd probably take much longer to learn everything.
In the Army on the other hand, E-4 makes sense, because half the time your chain of command puts E-4s into E-6 slots when there aren't enough SSGs to fill them.

It would most likely be digital data since no one really does analog feeds anymore. That means it goes through a processor, and since it has to be switchable, then there is a chokepoint that can be tapped or intercepted.
I also doubt the cameras are shielded, so there may be enough leakage of signal to be detected externally as well.

Inappropriate jokes are common in these comments. Not all of them work (I took a week off because I got stupid a week ago).

The Media Is Exactly Who We Thought They Were
With a few honorable exceptions.
An as-of-yet unnamed producer texted a reporter in the field to "not focus" on the Iranians celebrating the death of Khamenei. He (or, likely, she) wanted to play this as tragedy and portray the strike as a war crime. The reporter refused and said he'd focus on the celebrations.
A CBS Austin reporter was seen on a live Facebook stream appearing to get a directive from a superior to steer away from a pro-Israel, pro-US and pro-Trump protest behind him -- and then refusing to go along with the instruction on camera. Vinny Martorano was outside the Texas Capitol on Saturday covering dueling demonstrations in the wake of US and Israeli strikes on Iran when a crew member handed him a phone with a message from an unnamed boss. After reading the screen, the reporter asked out loud, "What does that mean?" An off-screen staffer answered, "It means they don't want us to focus on this." "Well, I am," Martorano shot back, continuing his coverage. Sinclair Broadcast Group, which owns CBS Austin, insisted Martorano had not been instructed to avoid certain perspectives. "[S]tation management directed the crew to follow our standard protest and rally safety and coverage guidelines, remain on the perimeter, gather necessary content, complete the live shot, and move to a safe location," a Sinclair spokesperson told The Post in an email. "There was no directive to avoid or de-emphasize any particular perspective," the spokersperson added. "The guidance was focused on safety, logistics, and ensuring comprehensive coverage in a rapidly evolving situation. The safety of our teams is top priority." The moment was clipped down to roughly 35 seconds and quickly went viral as it got reshared by conservative social media accounts.

We'll see if it's reflected in ratings. It won't be from me. I have not for years, and will never again watch mainstream evening television news. I sometimes tune in during the mornings for the traffic report, but rarely. Perhaps my attitude will help ensure that things never improve. I don't know. But I cannot foresee any behavior, situation or reality where I will ever trust that anything on the news is truthful or that any newsman is worthy of anything but contempt. The well is simply too poisoned, and has been for too long.

He backed down pretty quickly. From his X account:
“Let me jump in.
“There was no ‘no coverage’ directive. We covered the support rally, as we have others across the country. The text that’s being referenced was simply a reminder about standard security protocols, nothing more.”
Glad he did it; that’s why I started following him. But I’m not sure how strong he’d really end up being.

I watched the BBC News streaming channel on Dish for a few hours Saturday and Sunday morning.
Literally every hour they'd repeat the girls school bombing story with banners and by Sunday had a full package report with video of crying fathers around the bomb site repeating over & over that it was caused by an airstrike.
Meanwhile by Saturday afternoon on X people had already been posting satellite maps of the area and one photo of a rocket smoke trail going from the IRGC compound next door right into the school.
There is no way the BBC did not realize by Sunday that this was more than likely an Iranian rocket misfire but still kept on reporting it as an airstrike.
It's like watching them report on Gaza they lie so much.

Probably not, but declaring it a free-fire zone will still cause most if not all shipping to divert. The insurance carriers will demand it.
On the plus side, it might make the USN's job easier. If the strait is free of commercial shipping, everything not known friendly is therefore enemy.

People should have their own beliefs and opinions. You can use other people to gather information for you, you can enjoy their rhetoric, but don't base YOUR belief on what some guy who's name you know says.
Remember when the comments were flooded by people telling us that Thomas Sowell was opposed to tariffs? Remember when people loved, then hated, then loved, then hated, Meghan Kelly?

For Iran, he was also on their side, on the side of the terrorists, and wanted Israel to have a nearby nuclear threat. But even still, he was too chicken shit to take any risks like this. He was a pussy.
He was even too afraid of taking out binladen, and needed Hillary to hold his hand and do the hard work for him. He even left the room so he could blame her.
But what Trump did took great confidence and skill and determination and strategy,
But it also took enormous balls. Balls like a guy who has been shot at.

Not me.
When I was in high school, I had an English teacher. Former reporter, and also run the school newspaper. On the wall in her room, she had a big blown-up copy of the famous picture of the Palestinian boy draped in the flag, winding up to hurl a rock at an Israeli soldier (soldier not pictured). It was from early in the Second Intifada. Famous picture.
Next to it was an equally blown-up picture of the reverse angle. Same boy, just from the other side. It showed a phalanx of press photographers all in position to catch the heroic moment. It was staged. The whole thing.
I asked her why she had those two pictures on her wall. She told me, "because this kind of dishonesty is why I quit to do something else."
In today's terms, she'd probably be called "based" - though I didn't realize that at the time.

France 24, 'Thank you, madam president': Melania Trump leads UN Security Council as Iran war rages
United Nations (United States) (AFP) – First Lady Melania Trump pressed the cause of children caught in conflict as she chaired a UN Security Council meeting Monday as the US-Israeli war against Iran raged.
"Ahead of the meeting, Iran's ambassador to the UN Amir Saeid Iravani said "it is deeply shameful and hypocritical that on the very first day of its presidency of the Security Council, the United States convened a high-level meeting on protecting children."
And so on...
"But the United States is still $4 billion in arrears to the UN for its regular budget and its peacekeeping budget, with UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warning of imminent financial collapse."
They're getting schooled, too.

This is what is sad. It means you can not learn why they think the way they do (to double check your own thinking) and you can not influence them and maybe win them over.
This is done intentionally -- they are in a cult and have to treat outsiders as dangerous.

Next to it was an equally blown-up picture of the reverse angle. Same boy, just from the other side. It showed a phalanx of press photographers all in position to catch the heroic moment. It was staged. The whole thing.
I asked her why she had those two pictures on her wall. She told me, "because this kind of dishonesty is why I quit to do something else."
In today's terms, she'd probably be called "based" - though I didn't realize that at the time.

There is one reason, and it's one of the things Dan Bongino got right and understood well, in my opinion.
There is no point in engaging with a leftist one-on-one and without an audience of unknown composition or an audience known to not be totally insane. Engaging rationally with and dismantling a leftist can be beneficial for the audience, and you might change a mind in the peanut gallery. This was, I think, the secret to Charlie Kirk's success. He didn't change a single *leftist* mind, but he sure changed a lot of minds in the audience.

People keep repeating that but it is neither a war, nor illegal, and when pressed on it, they cannot explain or give their legal argument for how its illegal. The closest they come is either
1) Only congress can declare war even though this isn't a war and the president is free to use military force without a declaration of war
or
2) Trump didn't inform Congress when a congressional act demands him to even though that doesn't apply here and is unconstitutional in any case.

The various splits are designed to drive engagement. Matt Walsh or Sean Davis doing a heel turn is just to boost their mentions. They are completely transparent because they don't even make arguments, they just do the "explain it to me why..." or "why can't Trump pick just ONE argument," the kind of reasoning they regularly skewer.

Sounds like another stunt by a right wing news org to feed Maga's persecution complex. CBS constantly focuses on the anti iran regime protests, they did the same thing in venesuala after trump kidnapped the president.
Bro I saw one koskesh reporter on an Australian news channel, who I thought was neutral, standing in front of the white house with iranian protestors behind him who had massive shiro khorshid and US flags, and then this cunt claimed they were amercians who were protesting cause they're angry about trump attacking

Reddit is advertising. Literally, they are running cheap ads on phone games. That shows you how far that place has fallen. That was the best sign Facebook was staggering and falling; they started to advertise.

Ah yes. I had to work with the College of Ed folks and state DoE on curriculum due to my subject area I taught. And the legislators, even in the red state that I live in and worked, seem to be dumbing down the curriculum on purpose as well.

Dive bombing was quite accurate, but left the aircrew extremely exposed to enemy fighters and AAA.
617 Squadron (the Dam Busters) figured out how to do dive-bombing runs with four engine bombers.

I can't take the gaslighting, guys. I really can't. Conservatives are now running around saying "Iran has been waging war on us for 47 years." Okay then why didn't any of you call for an attack on Iran at any point until now? Why didn't you make a case for Trump "ending the war, not starting it" until precisely the moment when Trump did it? You and I both know that you are latching onto a talking point you never used until 45 seconds ago. You and I both know that almost every conservative influencer in the business was opposed to war with Iran until just now. And now you're trying to use justifications that stretch back decades. It doesn't make any sense. If you changed your mind, fine. Say so. Explain why. You're allowed to change your mind. I've changed my mind about things. But don't try to rewrite history. Be honest about it. There's too much at stake to play these games.

Back in the early 2000s I remember folks concern-trolling that Bush was going to bomb Iran, and I thought, "Seems like a good idea to me. Makes more sense than Iraq." But anyway (1) there is need, with their eagerness for nukes, (2) there is opportunity, with the uprisings, (3) there is more hope for long-term success, with Pahlavi.

Another Muslim Terrorist Attack, This Time in Austin
We may never know the motive, authorities vowed.
The man wearing a "Property of Allah" sweatshirt, with an Iranian flag shirt underneath, and a Koran in his car, Culturally Enriched two Americans to death and wounded 14 others with diversity. He was, of course, an immigrant and a criminal, allowed into the country by Bill Clinton and then granted citizenship by Obama.The fiend behind Sunday's bloodbath at a packed Austin bar was an ex-New York City resident wearing a "Property of Allah" hoodie -- and possibly out for vengeance over the US attack on Iran, law-enforcement sources told The Post. Crazed Texas shooter Ndiaga Diagne, 53, of Senegal arrived in the US on March 13, 2000 on a B-2 tourist visa during the Democratic Clinton administration and became a lawful permanent resident (IR-6) when he married a US citizen in June 2006, a source familiar with his immigration history told The Post. He then became a naturalized US citizen on April 5, 2013 around the start of former President Barack Obama's second term -- despite his growing rap sheet spanning New York and Texas. On Sunday, the killer had a Quran in his car and was possibly also wearing an undershirt featuring the Iranian flag or other Iranian symbols when he opened fire on Buford's Backyard Beer Garden near the University of Texas-Austin campus, according to sources familiar with the investigation.
Law enforcement knew him as an emotionally disturbed person in both New York and Texas before Sunday's bloody rampage, sources said. He also had a string of previous arrests under his belt in the Big Apple and Texas, sources said, including a 2022 arrest in the Lone Star State for collision with vehicle damage. In New York City, he notched busts between 2001 and 2016, the year he applied for asylum under the waning Obama administration. Diagne was arrested in 2001 for illegal vending. His other three city arrests are sealed, sources said. Details on his Texas busts were not immediately known.

A man has been arrested after a knife incident in Edinburgh which left two people needing hospital treatment. Police firearms officers were called to reports of a man with a bladed weapon in the Calders area of the city at 08:25. A stand-off followed with a suspect later seen looking out the window of an 11th-floor flat for a number of hours but he was removed by police at around 16:00. Police Scotland said the incident was not being treated as terror-related.I'll bet. He sure looks pleased with himself:

Which would be worse? If every single terrorist on American soil was "known to law enforcement" but successfully attack anyway, or if they were "unknown law enforcement" and actual silent lone wolves striking out of nothing?

Translation: "Slave."
We need to argue that point with every discussion with any muslim. They are slaves, and their slave labor is to expand the slavery. They get nothing but promises, they can not leave, and they have to only do as they are told.
I think explaining this to them might undermine their spread, recruitment, and passion for what they do.

He received it in 2000, and overstayed by 2,130 days before he got "married" to a US citizen. And he is still here wreaking havoc. I'd love to see the form he filled out and the consular officer who approved it. Make consular officers who issue visas to foreigners who overstay/adjust status or worse, commit crimes, liable for their stamp of approval. That might just shut down a huge pathway the criminals use to enter the US.
They have the option of hunting the adjustors down, Dog the Bounty Hunter style, and putting them on a plane to their country of origin in order to avoid jail/fines.

It is slavery, straight up.
People think of plantations and chains, but for most systems the slaves have freedom of movement as long as they don't leave, and some of their work effort goes toward their masters. Most plantation work even was spent growing food for all the slaves needed so you had enough laborers for harvest time.
islam is just slavery. They can't leave, they have to get on their knees toward their master 5 times a day (humiliation and submission is very important in slavery) and they have to give some money to the masters (through various means including the hajj) but the main slave labor is that of conquest.

I very much want to see Trump get his hands on some of the confidential documents in Tehran. In addition to China's direct involvement in trying to tone down the protesting in Iran, I bet we find that the EU was circumventing the sanctions on Iran...which would explain why they are falling all over themselves trying to suggest they are willing now to assist the US (and open up airfields to our military).

🚨 JUST IN: Sec. Marco Rubio just said Iran has been producing up to 100 ballistic missiles PER MONTH, meant to be used as a shield for when they get nukes
"Compare that to building 6-7 interceptors per month!"
"You see the attacks now?! Airports. Hotels. Embassies. Facilities NOTHING to do with war — and that's a WEAKENED Iran! Imagine 1-1.5 years from now! An UNACCEPTABLE risk."

Military installations are a raised threat level... about mid-level. But I doubt there's much worry in blue shitholes as they think, and act, just like their Islamic brethren. I'd be wary of any large gathering with zero security anywhere, red or blue. Especially in and around the capitol city, malls, places of worship, etc.

This has always bothered me. Clearly, someone who does something like this is mentally ill, whatever their excuse. It takes a crazy person at least temporarily to murder people. Who cares? They still did it. They still were driven to it by certain pressures and ideas in their lives.
This idea that somehow mental illness only strikes certain horrible deeds and negates their motivations, and further that someone should get a break in their sentencing for being nuts is insane and violates every real sense of justice.

A small group of Chagossians—the indigenous people—returned to Île du Coin, Peros Banhos, in 2026 to reestablish a settlement without government permission, but their status remains unconfirmed.
As I understand it... their "Prime Minister" is keen on establishing a permanent relationship with the US.

We should run the Panama Canal gambit again. All those native Chagos Islanders that were deported by UK should be flown back in, declare independent from the colonialist UK and promptly sign a 99 year lease to teh US for Diego Garcia and in return we sign a treaty of protection with the new government.
Under English law itself, England cannot sign away Chagos Islanders islands to Mauritius simply because Mauritius was the administrative hq for the British colonial administration. House of Lords debate brought that up. England illegally removed the native islanders decades ago and claimed the islands were uninhabited so they could put a base there. Islanders want to return, England refused. And there it is.

China has and can continue to get fuel. What China is losing is *discount* fuel. They had three major sources for discount fuel: Venezuela, Iran and Russia. Only Russia is left. The discount there wasn't as good as the other two, but if India is about to blink on the topic of Russian oil purchases, China can negotiate a better discount.
China is still going to have access to the fuel it needs, but it is going to have to pay market price for much more of it - and in the short term (until Iran comes back online), the price is going to go up as a direct consequence. That will suck for us but suck much more for them.
China's source of fuel didn't vanish, and it won't. China's sources of low-price fuel, however, are falling.

France 24, 'Thank you, madam president': Melania Trump leads UN Security Council as Iran war rages
United Nations (United States) (AFP) – First Lady Melania Trump pressed the cause of children caught in conflict as she chaired a UN Security Council meeting Monday as the US-Israeli war against Iran raged.
"Ahead of the meeting, Iran's ambassador to the UN Amir Saeid Iravani said "it is deeply shameful and hypocritical that on the very first day of its presidency of the Security Council, the United States convened a high-level meeting on protecting children."
And so on...
"But the United States is still $4 billion in arrears to the UN for its regular budget and its peacekeeping budget, with UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warning of imminent financial collapse."
They're getting schooled, too.

This seems to get missed on all of the reporting but there is the official Ayatolla regime sanctioned Iranian flag and the pre- revolution Iranian flag, which features a lion holding a sword. The latter Iranian flag is waved everywhere by expats in the US, but not as a show of solidarity with the regime; in fact flying the pre revolution flag is a criminal offense in Iran.

Iran Interfered in US Elections in Favor of the Democrats in 2020, 2024; Hillary Clinton's Russiagate Shyster Denies
Jerry Dunleavy for JustTheNews.
Revolutionary Guards intelligence operatives created fake emails which purported to show Trump telling the Proud Boys to commit violent, terroristic actions. The leftwing media of course reported these emails as real.
Iran tried to interfere in 2020, 2024 elections to stop Trump, and now faces renewed war with U.S.
While Democrats and their stenographers in mainstream media screamed about a fever-dream involving collusion between Russia and Trump, the Iranian regime deployed unnoticed election influence operations aimed at stopping Trump's election in back-to-back contests in 2020 and 2024. Even worse, the IRGC even pushed assassination plots aimed at Trump.
The Iranian regime sought to undermine President Donald Trump's reelection bid in 2020, with Joe Biden emerging victorious, then doubled down in 2024 through a host of election meddling efforts and even assassination attempts in 2024. ... Trump campaigned in 2016 against the controversial Iranian nuclear deal which had been inked and agreed to by President Barack Obama in 2015. When Trump won, his first term was marked by a "maximum pressure" campaign against the Iranian regime, with Trump exiting the Iran deal, increasing sanctions against Iran after they had been lifted by Obama, designating the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a foreign terrorist organization, targeting Iran's terrorist proxies, killing IRGC leader General Qassem Soleimani, and more. The Iranian regime responded with a sophisticated election influence effort in the 2020 campaign between Trump and President Joe Biden, with the Iranians fighting to keep Trump away from a second term and favoring the more Iran-friendly Biden.
Biden's soft pro-Iranian policies come back to haunt peace in the Middle East The Biden administration then spent four years loosening some of the pressure on Iran and seeking a doomed rapprochement with the regime as Biden tried and failed to secure the revival of a deal with Iran. Hamas, considered a proxy of Iran, launched its deadly cross-border terrorist attack and murdered hundreds of civilians at a music festival and elsewhere in Israel on October 7, 2023. Israel responded with a significant military campaign in Gaza as well as the targeting of Iran's Hezbollah proxies in Lebanon. Iran fired hundreds of ballistic missiles at Israel in 2024, and Israel's aerial campaign in response resulted in the evisceration of much of Iran's air defenses. The Biden administration, however, urged Israel not to target the Iranian regime's nuclear facilities -- something the Israelis largely acquiesced to, until last June after Trump had taken office and his 60-day negotiation deadline with the Iranians had expired. The Iranians had redoubled their efforts during the 2024 election, trying to keep Trump out of office with IRGC-backed assassination plots and with hack-and-leak operations targeting Trump's campaign and other cyber efforts aimed at stopping him from beating Biden and, subsequently, accidental nominee Vice President Kamala Harris. It didn't work. ... Iranian intelligence sought to undermine Trump's reelection bid in 2020 through a variety of election influence efforts. Microsoft assessed in September 2020 that a cyber actor dubbed "Phosphorus, operating from Iran, has continued to attack the personal accounts of people associated with the Donald J. Trump for President campaign." Then-Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe and then-FBI Director Christopher Wray held an October 2020 press conference where they warned that Iran had gained access to U.S. voter registration information, with Ratcliffe warning Iran was trying to harm Trump's candidacy. Ratcliffe explained: "We have already seen Iran sending spoofed emails designed to intimidate voters, incite social unrest, and damage President Trump." A senior U.S. intelligence officer told The Washington Examiner in October 2020 that "the Iranians follow U.S. politics closely and saw the last debate where the Proud Boys were an issue and saw an opportunity here to manufacture blowback on Trump by creating a narrative that violent Trump supporters are sending out threatening emails." A senior government official also told Reuters at the time, "Either they made a dumb mistake or wanted to get caught. We are not concerned about this activity being some kind of false flag due to other supporting evidence. This was Iran."
Iran, not Russia, the key source of disinformation, but Democrats stick to their script The Miami Herald reported in October 2020 that intimidating emails claiming to be from the right-wing Proud Boys group, but actually sent by the Iranians instead, had been sent to hundreds of voters in numerous counties in Florida, seemingly targeting Democrats with a bit of reverse psychology. The emails said, in part, that "you will vote for Trump on Election Day, or we will come after you." The ODNI's office said at the time that it would brief the Republican and Democratic lawmakers representing the Florida counties most targeted. ODNI's National Intelligence Council later assessed in 2024 that, during the 2020 election, "Iranian cyber actors used data on more than 100,000 voters for its operation impersonating the Proud Boys." Multiple Democrats sought to falsely cast doubt on the idea that Iran was trying to undermine Trump's presidential campaign in 2020, and stuck to the baseless narrative that Russia was the true disinformation culprit. "Russia is the villain here, from what we have seen in the public domain," then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said in October 2020. "Iran is a bad actor but in no way equivalent. And they always try to find some equivalence to protect their friend, Russia." Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., also sought to cast doubt on the Iranians seeking to harm Trump. "I did receive a classified briefing this afternoon on this, and so I can't discuss the details, but I can tell you one thing: It was clear to me, that the intent of Iran in this case, and Russia in many more cases, is to [...] basically undermine confidence in our elections," Schumer said on MSNBC in October 2020. "This action I do not believe was aimed ... at discrediting President Trump [...] It was much rather to undermine confidence in elections and not aimed at any particular figure."
Hillary Clinton's fixer, Mark Elias, says that this isn't the Election Interference you're looking for. The real election interference, it seems, was the fake dossier Mark Elias paid for.
The Clinton campaign lawyer who helped fund British ex-spy Christopher Steele's discredited dossier pushing baseless claims of Trump-Russia collusion in 2016 joined other Democrats in denying confirmed Iranian election influence efforts in 2020 and 2024 aimed at denigrating President Donald Trump, calling it a "Big Lie." ... A cadre of Democrats -- led by former Hillary Clinton campaign general counsel Marc Elias -- and other Trump opponents soon sought to deny that Iran had meddled in the U.S. presidential elections of 2020 and 2024 in an effort to undermine Trump's candidacies, despite even the Biden Administration intelligence community and Justice Department saying that is what the Iranian regime had done. Elias on Saturday shared a screenshot of Trump's Truth Social post about Iranian election influence efforts in 2020 and 2024 and dismissed these facts as "the next Big Lie." "The next Big Lie is to taking [sic] shape right in front of us," Elias said. "Donald Trump will try to use this to assert illegal and unconstitutional powers over the 2026 elections."

Obama let open the barn door of foreign interference in our elections.
He also opened the barn door of using NGOs to do the government's dirty work in reshaping the electorate through massive federal grants that gave NGOs authority and resources to do things to the American people that the government is expressly forbidden to do.
USAID alone became $40 billion per year. Hollywood makes $8 billion per year. 5 Hollywoods spent to just create one ecosystem, largely centered around DC, that was only really animated by keeping government spending going and in one partisan direction. And DOGE has cut off tens of billions more. It may be over a hundred billion.
Of just...govt money flowing around to help employ and encourage membership for Democrats.

“I am following with deep concern what is happening in the Middle East and in Iran during this tumultuous time. Stability and peace are not achieved through mutual threats, nor through the use of weapons, which sow destruction, suffering, and death, but only through reasonable, sincere, and responsible dialogue.
“Faced with the possibility of a tragedy of immense proportions, I make a heartfelt appeal to all the parties involved to assume the moral responsibility of halting the spiral of violence before it becomes an unbridgeable chasm. May diplomacy regain its proper role, and may the well-being of peoples, who yearn for peaceful existence founded on justice, be upheld. And let us continue to pray for peace.”

Russia/Youcrane: Russia using up men and weapons on this front. Youcrane using $$$ from Clinton, Biden.
Seeing exactly who are our allies in 2026: not the UK or France. Canada supports verbally, which is good.
Mexico: border closed! Sorry! Taxes on remittances which are part of your yearly imports. A mere $61 billon, down from 2024. In complete chaos with cartels. US cruise ships not docking on the coast.
Greenland still may want us as who knows?
I remain unsure how the war between the Congo and Rwanda impact us, but the peace did not last long and he tried.

Voter fraud dispersed across House races is more difficult than winning a state in a single city.
Also, the DOJ Civil Rights Division has been suing blue states (successfully) since Harmeet Dhillon took her position almost a year ago.
Yes, the Democrats will try to cheat. But, you know what? The other side gets a vote in that process too. It's why the cheat in 2024 didn't work. The RNC fought it.
Now, the RNC has allies in the Justice Department and a new precedent that individual candidates can sue over stolen elections.

Hey guys, remember when Georgia investigated their elections and found out only Elon Musk interfered with their elections and then we did nothing about it except send him a stern letter?
There it is, there’s his dictatorial platform, of course it’s total bullshit, but that’s how he lawlessly and preemptively attacks this democracy like another country. I hate this timeline.
I'm surprised he hasn't accused them of being in the Epstein Files yet, since he projects everything he does into an accusation.
They rigged it so trump won? Time to invalidate the election and give Harris her rightful position as president?
They used foreign interference in 2016. With Russia hacking emails and that leading to the FBI investigation on Hillary. Russia has nukes and kompromat so it is ok.
Wait, so now it’s Iran?! Wasn’t it Venezuela last week? And “the Democrats” in weeks previous?! Is nobody going to call them on this shit?

That’s probably the most foolish statement I’ve ever heard. Democrats have an organized process of using the same tools to undermine congressional races. It relies on dirty voter rolls, mail in ballots/harvesting and no paper ballots. Georgia is one example, and most of that hasn’t been fixed. It’s also why the don’t want to audit more recent elections like the Virginia governors race where they pulled it out of their ass with a stack of last minute ballots from one district in particular. They will be counting well after Election Day until they have a bough phony ballots to win, just like they did in a bunch of California races.

Of course the shift is bullshit.

If we're being generous, we can say that the pollsters are trying to be honest but can't account for response bias where Democrats are more willing to answer the phone with pollsters than conservatives. If we're not being generous, we can say that pollsters understand this behavior and intentionally don't correct for it in order to make the side they're rooting for look better.

Ex Cathedra is a pronouncement about beliefs and doctrine the Pope, as head of the church, can make about what a Catholic must believe to be a Catholic. For example, you can't deny Jesus is the Son of God and be in the club.

Actually affecting the counts in a dozen precincts in a dozen districts at once in a state is harder to do than affecting the counts in a dozen precincts in one city.
The actual work load is much higher to rig a dozen House races than it is a statewide race like Senator, governor, or president.
It's why the cheat is largely relegated to major cities.
And yes, Fulton has been actively addressed for the past 4 years. The GA legislature has been looking into it for years, and the DOJ just recently joined in on the fun.
Also, if the cheat is so powerful, why didn't it work in 2024? How did the RNC just saying, "No" short-circuit it and why can't that happen again?

I don't even think it's that honest of a mistake
I think they model one way to give the narrative they want (D+8, whatever) and then as things get closer, decide they need to some amount of accuracy if they want to keep doing this. So then it's like D+3.
So still behind ,but enough with a margin of error that they can still claim victory.
meanwhile, the entire year the GOP candidate gets headlines about how behind they are or how close the race is, when it isn't.

I just looked and it's been studied: "Several proposals have been made to build a canal bypassing the strait, primarily to reduce dependence on a route vulnerable to geopolitical tensions. The most prominent plan is the 950-kilometre 'Salman Canal', proposed by a Saudi study in 2015. It would stretch from the Arabian Gulf through Saudi Arabia and Yemen (or Oman as an alternative) to the Arabian Sea, reducing shipping distances by half. The project, estimated at $80 billion, would be 150 metres wide and 25 metres deep.

Don't start with me as I am already riled up with a nitwit on another blog. And I love Moron's and 'ettes.
My beliefs as a former conservative Presbyterian are mine. I have read, researched and prayed about this for over a year and this is my decision. The Catholic parish I attend is conservative and the people are wonderful with traditional service and music that I have missed for 15yrs. While I understand the saint issue far more than I did, I pray to The Trinity and worship God alone. Is that clear? I hope so!
Obviously the Pope is not going to say, like me, "Yay! Finally! Take out terrorism in Iran!"

I am not really that impressed with the heads of a number of religious sects nowadays. The Archbishops of Canterbury make Pope Francis look like Francisco Franco. Unitarians, ELCA, and Quakers make the Church of England look quite conservative.

Trump won PA, NC, and MI. Hell, MI is considered a blue state at this point.
And, again, advancements have happened since 2024 including Harmeet Dhillon's work in the DOJ specifically targeting inflated voter rolls.
And you know who else also never got midterm voters? Obama. Obama's team never figured out how to get low-propensity voters to turn out.
So, the natural ground of 2026 lends itself to Democrats. Trump attracted people to vote for him who don't vote that much.
But, on top of the natural ground are...other things. Like Trump taking on foreign interference, fed grant funding that supported Democrats, and vote roll maintenance.
Also, polling is showing a surprisingly even map right now, 9 months out, when normally Democrats show a pretty heavy advantage. Rs are turning out for specials, but Baris isn't weeping about them so people don't notice.

Before those even made it to a judge, the counties cut their losses and simply finished counting. And presto, Trump had won. Do you think the results would have been the same otherwise?

I think they model one way to give the narrative they want (D+8, whatever) and then as things get closer, decide they need to some amount of accuracy if they want to keep doing this. So then it's like D+3.
So still behind ,but enough with a margin of error that they can still claim victory.
meanwhile, the entire year the GOP candidate gets headlines about how behind they are or how close the race is, when it isn't.

Posted by: Judge Elric The Blade at March 02, 2026 03:29 PM (iFTx/)
That is much less true than it used to be. The states are more heavily gerrymandered now, which means that the majority's voters are spread thinner, and the margins are narrower, so the districts are easier to flip. One good wave election (or fraud negation) could turn all their work adding Democrat districts against them.

That’s the constant ebb and flow of church attendance on a nutshell. A lot of times what you hear is not popular. But many churches have taken on the political, which they should never do. It is also in one sense an apostasy. That’s because God calls us to worship, but they use that platform for purposes other than worship. So we unfortunately have people like you who clearly love God, but are kept from worship by conscience.

Modern Christianity tends toward the suicidal empathy that has gotten us to where we are today, it's just a fact. We know that God wants peace, but peace often comes at a price, which is good people...say, selling their cloak to buy a sword and then using it.

Raised in my Local Methodist church... Choir Boy and Altar Boy... Parents bought a Pew for the church, has a plaque with our name on it... Mom worked in that Church as Wedding and Funeral coordinator until she got the final dose of Cancer at 90, which killed her.
Dad's favorite Hymn was Onward Christian Soldier, which is in the Hymnal... but the Preacher at the time would NOT allow it to be sung at his funeral 20 years ago.
Have not stepped foot in that church since.

There are better ways, in my personal opinion, that I can be closer to and serve God than to spend part of my Sunday getting dressed up to go listen to a left-of-center sermon and some jackwagon playing the guitar in a church.
That's just me, your mileage may vary.

Find a church brother. If you are looking for the perfect church, with the perfect preacher, with the perfect congregation, then you will always be looking.
We can not do this alone. Many examples in scripture, especially Acts. The church is a community. Small groups, men's group's, everyone has a skill to serve with - whether is the stone face fella at the door doing security to filling the coffee pots for first time visitors.
At let's not forget that church isn't a once a week ordeal. We are open everyday in a wide variety of ways.
We need you there.

I read an interesting book a few years ago, recommended by a very smart Catholic priest called "Church of Spies", which recounted the history of the Catholic Church during WWII, and how Pope Pius the XII had come to the conclusion that Hitler must be killed, as he was a murderous tyrant.
There are a lot of other things in the book as when Pius XII would speak out against Hitler (early in the war), the Priests and Bishops in Germany would tell him that everything got worse whenever he would speak out. So he stopped.
It is estimated that the SS killed over 2.5 million Catholic Poles, and 2500 Priests during the occupation of Poland. Canaris, who was head of the Abwehr, was appalled, and actually acted as a spy for the Church, which gathered intelligence for the Allies during WWII.
And at one time, Hitler wanted to kidnap Pius XII as he really hated him.

........................................
Thanks, Fen. I am just as surprised as anyone that I am converting to be Roman Catholic. After 7 decdes of Presbyterian since birth. The last 5 or so years I've been my own Quaker of prayer/readings. I needed more. I don't like untraditional services or praise music.
Our son and DIL converted and we started attending Mass now and then if our grandson had something (he's in 2nd grade and first communion next month). I can explain it, so far, in 3 things: our grandson, the homilies and service of this parish...and music, which is huge to me. And the Holy Spirit. All three led me to where I am today in wanting a deeper faith.
I was encouraged to read books such as this one by Scott Hahn, a former Presbyterian PCA minister and theologian who converted: Home Sweet Rome. Questions answered by my readings (there are more books) and people in this parish our son and family joined.

I love you guys! It's like I gained a ton of new brothers on Ace of Spades! This is totally a response of one of them.
I had benign lesions zapped or whacked by microscopic needles last week. Cosmetic and my last hurrah of my near flawless complexion. Or it was before last Wednesday. With hopes to be again soonish.
It is possible for a supermodel to have vanity. But not to the point of plastic surgery or fillers. Having what I thought was a "few" ten or so benign bumps whacked off turned into a 30min session of an esthetician going a bit wild. I'd say I got my money's worth! Have mercy!
Note: I created my name here from the real supermodel who's had a ton of stuff done. Purely because she's a few months older than me. While she's held up well, a lot of her is stuff I'd never do to myself willingly.
My 30min turned into minor torture of the last 10min I was mentally telling myself to hang on.
When I staggered out of the derm office my husband had to honk the car horn at me twice. Or, I guess, I would have walked out into moving traffic.

Whig, if I could have found the traditional service of my parent's and grandparent's Presbyterian (PCA) church in MS, I would have never looked further.
ALL Protestant churches in our area have non-traditional services with praise music. The one we tried for years had a great minister but a service that "come as you are" and "get up and get coffee during the sermon" did not fit with me. Don't get me started on never having historically old and beautiful hymns replaced by praise music. Often by not great musicians in for the attention.
I prayed a lot to stop my irritation. I don't think it is ok to leave worship irritated.
My opinion only. Find a church or denomination that gives you worship and peace. I found it and it is a big surprise not only to me to become Catholic, but others who know me well.

Trump: "The Big Wave" of Attacks on the Islamic Regime Occupying Iran Hasn't Even Started Yet
Speculation: The "Ground Forces" Phase of This War May Be Fought Entirely With Drone Hunter-Killers
Via Instapundit, from CNN:
Why is Trump even talking to this shitlipped gayboy? It's literally true that the "big wave" hasn't started yet, or has only barely started. The first waves of the attack were Tomahawk missiles and then stealth fighters. Those attacks degraded Iran's radars, air bases, and fighter fleet, so that the later waves could include B-2 bombers dropping tons of explosives. I saw a report that B-2s already flew from Missouri to start blowing up Iran's underground stores of ballistic missiles. I imagine Trump is suggesting that we're going to get more and more B-2 strategic bombing. Iran's ballistic missiles are its most dangerous weapon at the moment. Both the US and Israel are working hard to take them out:
"We're knocking the crap out of them," Trump told CNN's Jake Tapper. "I think it's going very well. It's very powerful. We've got the greatest military in the world and we're using it." Trump addressed a wide range of topics in the interview, including the expected length of the conflict, his surprise at Iran's widespread retaliation and the country's expected succession plan. On how long the war might last, the president said, "I don't want to see it go on too long. I always thought it would be four weeks. And we're a little ahead of schedule." Asked if the US is doing more beyond the military assault to help the Iranian people regain control of their country from the regime, Trump said, "Yes." "We are indeed. But right now we want everyone staying inside. It's not safe out there." And it's about to get even less safe, the president said. "We haven't even started hitting them hard. The big wave hasn't even happened. The big one is coming soon."

VodkaPundit:
More:
In July of 2025, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth headed up a Pentagon event showing off 18 American-made drone prototypes, that had gone from drawing board to development in just an average of 18 months. By comparison, the Navy's F/A-XX to replace the aging F/A-18 multirole jets with a modern platform started in 2012, and they haven't even chosen a design. One of the prototypes shown off by Hegseth looked more than a little familiar to anyone following the Russo-Ukraine War drone campaign, because it was a virtual copy of Iran's infamous Shahed drone, now made in Russia, too, and manufactured in the thousands. Only this one is made in Arizona by a startup called SpektreWorks. They cost roughly $35,000 apiece and have an attack range of roughly 450 miles. ... At the time, Undersecretary of Defense for Research and Engineering Emil Michael told reporters, "It's an extraordinary achievement. This kind of thing was going to take five, six years." ... Trump called it "unleashing American drone dominance," and not even a year later, here we are. On Saturday, U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) confirmed that LUCAS flew in combat for the first time during Operation Epic Fury, not much longer than two years after SpektreWorks began developing them: "Task Force Scorpion Strike, for the first time in history, is using one-way attack drones in combat during Operation Epic Fury. These low-cost drones, modeled after Iran's Shahed drones, are now delivering American-made retribution." "For the price of a single Tomahawk, you can launch 57 LUCAS drones," analyst Shanaka Anslem Perera posted over the weekend.
What an incompetent drunken meathead. Update:
U.S. Central Command officials have confirmed that airstrikes launched on Iran on Saturday involved the first combat use of the U.S. military's new autonomous kamikaze drone. The Low-cost Unmanned Combat Attack System, or LUCAS drone, was launched as part of Operation Epic Fury, which targeted Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps command and control facilities, Iranian air defense capabilities, missile and drone launch sites and military airfields, CENTCOM officials announced. ... The LUCAS platform is a one-way attack drone reverse-engineered after the Iranian Shahed-136. Built by the Arizona-based SpektreWorks, the drone, which can be launched via catapults, rocket-assisted takeoff and mobile ground systems, is a spinoff of the company's FLM 136 target model, one designed for counter-drone training while simulating Iran's Shahed variant. The FLM 136 model carries a range capability of around 500 miles, with a maximum payload of 40 pounds, or "roughly twice the explosive yield of a hellfire missile," according to Alex Hollings, host of Sandboxx News' FirePower. With a maximum takeoff weight of 180 pounds, the FLM 136 is significantly lighter than the Iranian Shahed. The platforms are also immensely more cost-effective -- and scalable -- compared to the more advanced munitions in the U.S. arsenal, carrying a price tag of around $35,000 per unit. ... "To simulate the modern battlefield, senior officers must overcome the bureaucracy's instinctive risk-aversion on everything from budgeting to weaponizing and training," Hegseth wrote in the July memo. "Next year I expect to see this capability integrated into all relevant combat training, including force-on-force drone wars."
Those Shahed style drones are not suitable for targeting personnel. They are meant for fixed targets. Enter the GPS coordinates and send them off on thier own. -- Serious CatAh maybe, yes, I guess these particular drones are "kamikazee drones," which fly into their target and blow up. But I imagine we have a lot of the kind they use in Ukraine for anti-personnel missions. Those are store-bought commercial drones lightly modified for military use. They cost like $5,000.

In a game, you can tell your opponent what you're going to do knowing they can't stop you. (Larry Bird was a master of this.) It really demoralizes the opponent.
BUT that only works when there are rules. In war, there are no rules. Telling your plan just means your enemy will find a way around it. And that explains how stupid our "elite" have been for my entire life.

It's amazing how - as Obama's people demonstrated and never let go - if you bombard people with enough information, even genuine information (not that Obama's people did that, it was always lies), they can't keep track of the simplest facts.
They sped up the news cycle on purpose under Soetero and this is why. I watched them do it and actually narrated it on these very pages. I bet you barely remember when the "news" was roughly one big story every three to four days and sometimes much longer. What they did under Obama was hit you with ten stories a day so you could no longer think straight. People will blame "the internet" and "smartphones", but sorry no, I watched them do it it. And it worked.

The main effect of the drones is to paralyze movement of forces, hence the WWI-esque fronts. Troops in the open can be hit, vehicles can be damaged or destroyed. Troops controlling a restive populace have to go into the open to face them, move from city to city and supply the forces. In Ukraine now, supplies have to be hidden in bunkers to avoid being blasted, troops have to deploy in entrenched areas. This won't work if the populace in Iran supports the operation and the security forces are pinned down without support.

Early in the war Iran had developed a kamikaze drone and Russia didn't have one. Russia bought a few and licensed the plans and started production themselves and have improved the tech as the war went on. I'm not sure if they have continually gotten imports of drones from Iran, I'd think Iran would have saved most for themselves this last year with the bombings.

From everything I've read Iran was supplying Russia with thousands of drones for most of the war in Ukraine. Recently, they have been teaching Russians how to make their own drones and I wouldn't be surprised if there have been improvements. Drones have been a huge part of the Russian arsenal in the war.
I also wouldn't be a bit surprised if that went into Trump's planning as well. Two birds with a really big stone.

They used a powerful transmitter to fake a GPS signal so when the drone lost communications with home it used GPS to fly back home. The problem being the fake coordinates had home as an airbase in Iran.

Call it 190k IRGC personnel.
At $35k each (assuming we can scale without limit or shortage), we could have one drone per IRGC member for about $6,650,000,000.
$6.7 billion for a 1:1 drone:enemy soldier ratio.

Meanwhile, Iran is led by a government that legalized marriage to 13 year old girls, mandates "sex change" operations to homosexuals, and the Ayatollah wrote a book all about how non-penetrative sexual activity with girls as young as NINE is permitted in Islam.
The president wants to protect Pedos by attacking these guys, you see.

I saw a video that purported to be an advanced Uke drone dropping burning WP on a group of Russian soldiers in a stand of trees.
Now, I couldn't see any soldiers or return fire and the stand of trees seemed awfully small for a unit to hide in. Also, I'm pretty sure the left believes using WP as a weapon is a war crime.
But the drone was dumping whatever flaming stuff was coming out of it nicely...

Yes, many one-way attack drones (also called kamikaze drones, suicide drones, or loitering munitions in related contexts) incorporate self-destruct capabilities specifically to prevent them from falling intact into enemy hands, which could allow technology capture, reverse-engineering, or repurposing for retaliation.
This feature is not universal across all models, but it has become increasingly common, especially in modern designs used in high-stakes conflicts like the Russia-Ukraine war.

Ah maybe, yes, I guess these particular drones are "kamikazee drones," which fly into their target and blow up.
On the update... with modern satellite imagery... and the amount of satellites now up, we can have close to real time intel on a target... and as the drone can be redirected while in flight? using GPS coordinates?

There was a little of a 'drone gap' against Russia in 2022 as Ukraine could import kits from the west and compensate for their Airforce not being able to operate against Russian anti-air tech. Hence Russia buying licensing and some drones from Iran to pull even. I think that gap has long since closed - Russia itself made the first fly by wire drones to avoid jamming problems that I know of.
But yes, Russia presumably had little problem setting up all the drone factories it needs well away from the front, and China can deliver all the chips needed if Russia can't.

The only plan was to divert attention from Epstein. To some extent, it's working. He will continue to throw however many bombs & bodies it takes to make sure that the main headline on any news broadcast is Iran & not Epstein.
public polling had attacking Iran at 16-21 % support. If the only impetus here was to distract from a very unpopular issue, would you do so by doing something else that is extraordinarily unpopular?
We’ve already lost soldiers. We’ve already killed civilians, including an entire school full of girls. Our allies don't support it, and Congress didn't authorize it. Impeach, protest, remove.
This isn’t about democracy there. If it was, the US wouldn’t have bases in all the Mid East Monarchies.

Just seems strange and scary and maybe somewhat "immoral." But I suppose all new forms of warfare seem that way at first.
I'm guessing the point of this war is a multi-faceted, but part:
a) to elimiate a strategic threat (Iran),
b) to weaken an adversary of our real enemy (China),
c) to take advantage of our other adversary being bogged down in its own war (Russia),
and (d) to show everyone our capabilities.
More to it than that, but if the casulaties are low, if the war is short, and if we do not accept refugees, then this will be a popular war more akin to Gulf War than the GWOT.
Big if, but Trump has earned the benefit of the doubt for now.

There is a good documentary from the 70s I think about WWII tech. One episode covers mines, and one that washed up on the beaches in England. They had to defuse to figure out how they worked (magnetic field of ship overhead.) and so they sent a group to give it a go. Almost certain death.
Turns out, the Germans didn't bother with activating the self destruct, possibly because it was a pain and dangerous before they had to deploy. So the British got the tech and were able to counter. Really good series - cryptography, radar, mines,,, lots of good stuff and I will look for name in a sec.

The whole redistricting thing for House seats which might even get accelerated if Scotus rules the majority minority application of the VRA is unconstitutional.
Even without that, Florida is considering redistricting as well soon which would counteract Virginia's proposed redistricting.
It will make predictions a lot harder but it could turn a mild red wave into a bigger one as teh Dems have really weaken blue districts in CA and VA to get the maximum payoff in red ones. The reverse is true in TX and FL perhaps.
Senate's most vulnerable is probably Ossof in GA and after that the open Peter's seat in Michigan or perhaps Tina Smith's in MN or Shaheen's seat in NH.

Oh yeah its the new "the walls are closing in"
This, however, is the right fight. The one we should have had 40 years ago
Yeah. Look, I hate foreign intervention, I hate using our blood (some of our guys have died) and treasury on some other nation. And I sure as hell am opposed to invading some craphole and trying to rebuild it.
But this? This is what everyone has been saying for decades needed to be done and finally is. Iran has been a festering center of terrorism and evil for decades, spreading its horror around the world through proxies even worse than the Soviet Union ever did. They have been calling for nuclear holocaust for decades, they have promised to use nukes. And they have been tirelessly working on making them for decades. We keep knocking back their nuclear abilities, they keep restarting.
As you say: should have been done 40 years ago. Needed doing for almost half a century. This is like the Barbary Pirates: finally someone is doing what everyone knew needed to be done forever.

If we want to lessen our footprint overseas, taking out Iran's delusionary nutjob mullahcracy had to be done. They wanted nukes to use and you can't allow psychotic regimes like that to have them with delivery systems. Norks have them and that is bad enough but Iran planned on building enough missiles so that they could hide a nuke in a swarm of other missiles as decoys.

It's from the same root as "Persia." Both come from the name of Pars (Fars) Province. Since there is no "p" in Arabic, when the Arabs took over, they swapped out the p's with f's.
So just change it back to "Parsi." (Come to think of it, the term "Parsi" for Zoroastrians also comes from the "Pars" root.

It doesn't look odd to me. It looks like, "if we're going down, you're all coming with me" behavior, and whether a target is a "legitimate military objective" or whatever falls immediately by the wayside in that context.

So far we’ve heard that although we killed the whole Iranian regime, this was not a regime change war. And although we obliterated their nuclear program, we had to do this because of their nuclear program. And although Iran was not planning any attacks on the US, they also might have been, depending on who you ask. And although we are not fighting this war to free the Iranian people, they are now free, or might be, depending on who seizes power, and we have no idea who that will be. The messaging on this thing is, to put it mildly, confused."

A recurring argument from these types now is that freeing the Iranian people from tyranny is not our problem, and evokes recent failed US attempts at nation building. But I didn't get the sense that this is simply for the benefit of Iranians, rather that is was first and foremost for our national interest, and is part of a larger overall effort. Also, that nation-building is explicitly ruled out.
I was disappointed to see this negative message put out. It even looks coordinated.

From what I've seen and read, the logic was that Israel was going to attack Iran's missile defenses. Once that attack happened, Iran was going to lash out in every direction (they did), including at American bases.
So, once the decision was made by Israel, the calculus of war said that Iran did present an imminent threat to US interests in the region which allowed the US military to actively take part in the first strike.

It is.

They turn on a number of events which require adjustment.
Trump laid our basic goals out pretty clearly but these guys claim they want specifics which just is not going to happen right now.
The main way that the Iranians can fight back right now is to demoralize the US and that is what these types are doing. Just like Cronkite's false reporting in Tet which was a great victory instead of defeat.

Hope is indeed *not* a strategy. But Trump and his staff also are not going to provide the strategy in a public forum. The "we hope" stuff is a description of the objective and the goal for the objective to be achieved.
They did this with Bush 43, too, and even Obama. I am not going to fault them for not discussing strategy in an open forum. Would I like to know? Yeah, of course. But I don't expect anyone to talk. If I can hear it, the enemy sure as shit can.

Its all about the question rather than the answers. It is a cross examination technique in the courtroom where I picked it up as an attorney uses these type of questions to raise doubt, not to get answers.
When you ask broad questions like this on cross, it is evident that the attorney does not care about the answers but rather the technique is to raise fear, uncertainty, and doubt in the listener/reader.

Sarah Connor: HKs?
Kyle Reese: Hunter-Killers… patrol machines built in automated factories. Most of us were rounded up… put in camps for orderly disposal. This was burned in by laser scanner. Some of us were kept alive… to work… loading bodies. The disposal units ran night and day. We were that close to going out forever. But there was one man who taught us to fight… to storm the wire of the camps… to smash those metal motherfuckers into junk. He turned it around. He brought us back from the brink. His name is Connor… John Connor. Your son, Sarah. Your unborn son.

No it means broadcasting your precise objective to the enemy undercuts your political goals. Are we planning to degrade their forces until a new democratic government can take over? Well now they know they just need to go underground like the Taliban and reconquer the country 20 years later when a Democrat is in office.
And we can't really publicly bluff and claim to seek unconditional surrender at any cost to mislead the enemy because the fifth column will start screaming that Trump lost by not meeting his stated objective if we then resolve things through diplomacy.

The libs, Dims and Rinos are in a snit today. Screaming of Congress "needing to declare war." Totally forgetting that Congress has not declared war since 1942. And Obama's little Libyan 8mo of the Arab Spring (I think it was that) and other deals that set precedent for everyone but Trump.
Among other things I have done this morning was stnad my ground against the nitwit on another blog who "knows more than anyone" about this President and all things military. I basically said that they know as much as I do since none of us sit with President Trump or VP Vance in the situation room.
This raking woman relies on X and podcasts. I shot that down using Tucker and Owens as examples. I don't argue directly with her as I'd probably get fleas from her feral cats.
I did pull a tiny bit of passive aggression in stating my piece regarding her comment that we needed statesmanship. She said she disagreed and I was wrong. So I ignored her...and this is the passive aggressive part as she wants to argue and I won't give her that.

But, we are 5 years into Trump's foreign policy.

Freaking out at Trump bombing a place was more understandable when he bombed General Solemeni (or whatever his name was). But now? After the Maduro raid?
Come on, people. Especially from people who have been blaming Iran for most of the American deaths in Iraq for like 20 years.

You are only as good as your last thought. I have been watching X most of the last several days and you can see a narrative being tried out. What's the plan, plan, plan, and repeated by Dems, bots, etc. and then the selection I posted above.
This is happening simultaneously with the Groyper brigade bringing in their Jews hating, Betrayal by Trump, and other such trashy low rent crap to the point that some are actually cheering on the Iranian regime. So you have Dems and Groypers going low and the just asking questions brigade just asking questions that any fool knows cannot be answered right now in the middle of a war.
That is the sort of crap the Uniparty is known for. Coordinated and paid hits and it is derail the Trump administration at a critical time and in the process helping the Iranians. None of this chin stroking masturbation is particularly useful if there is a war on and notably none of these jerkoffs actually proposed anything useful as to war aims, just asking questions crap.

Virginia's New AWFUL Governor, a "Moderate" Democrat and CIA Stooge, Releases Illegal Alien Arrested Over 30 Times to the Streets; He Immediately Stabs a US Citizen to Death at Bus Stop
"Moderate" Democrat = Islamofascist communist and terrorist.
Fairfax County refused to turn this dangerous and now murderous illegal alien over to DHS.Virginia Gov. Spanberger faces blowback after releasing illegal immigrant who stabbed woman to death Spanberger ordered the end of localities cooperating with ICE upon taking office, and ICE targets prevented from being detained as potential killers.
Former Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares slammed Gov. Abigail Spanberger after a released illegal immigrant with a long rap sheet stabbed a woman to death at a bus stop. Abdul Jalloh allegedly stabbed victim Stephanie Minter at a Fairfax County bus stop after prosecutors had dropped charges in most of his previous cases. He was reportedly arrested more than 30 times. Fairfax County Commonwealth's Attorney Steve Descano most recently dropped violent charges against the alleged perpetrator, according to local news reports. "Not even a month since I called out Gov. Abigail Spanberger for signing her EO banning law enforcement from cooperating with ICE we see the bitter fruits: Abdul Jalloh entered the U.S. illegally, stabbed an innocent woman to death at a bus stop this week despite having a [...] criminal history of more than 30 arrests, according to DHS, including for rape, malicious wounding, assault, identity theft, contributing to the delinquency of a minor, assault and pick-pocketing.' This is exactly the criminal first, victim last policies that get innocent Americans killed," Miyares wrote on X. Descano has previously been under fire before for dropping criminal charges against illegal immigrant offenders who go on to commit more crimes. In 2024, 31-year-old Denis Humberto Navarette Romero, an illegal immigrant, was arrested for many crimes, but he was released into the community repeatedly. He went on to allegedly rape a woman on a trail in Fairfax County. Upon taking office, Spanberger ordered localities not to cooperate with ICE despite probable cause for arrest.

I am tired of seeing this phrase. Until we have clean elections and voter ID, no one can possibly say that it was what citizens voted for. Unless you want to argue that Biden got 90 million votes, and America got it "good and hard" in 20202. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

It's like the bad guy in the Shrek movie said, "Many of you may die, but it's a risk I'm willing to take".
One of the reasons everyone hates Trump is that he's inverted how wars normally work in Iran. Instead of the elites partying on the beach while all the peasants kill each other, Trump led with killing the elites. Elites around the world find this concept terrifying.

In going after government corruption and fraud, the cartels and Iran, not to mention others, what Trump is actually doing is indirectly going after the Domestic (and Global) Left. Instead of hitting them directly which you can't thanks to their Republican protectors, Trump is removing layers of the onion one by one, and going at the Uniparty from the outside in. And he's doing it by taking on all our enemies head on, who the Democrats and Uniparty just happen to always side with. It is genius.

It depends on your legal status and your politics.

Fake compassion for perpetrators because they don't want to clamp down on crime. Same dynamic at the national level. Basically oppressed oppressor framework where the 'oppressed' country, individual, group, whatever should always win against the oppressor (white, male, straight, Christian or the US/Israel if we are discussing countries).
AWFULS are woke believers in this Marxist framework whether in political office, in public, or at a job.

The decrease in crime over the last year is just the natural progress of events starting under Biden. Trump's anti-justice rhetoric had nothing to do with anything, and it's also making the situation worse by making the justice-adjacent of our nation feel unsafe which makes them lash out more.
Which means that no matter what the manufactured numbers say, violent crime is way up because Trump says things that make the under-justiced feel unsafe.

Its NOT the role of the public to get excited about a sports team or theatre production or political candidate. It IS the job of the sports team or theatre production or political candidate to PROVIDE A REASON for the public to get excited about them!
Trump understands that principle--that's why he gets the turnout he does. The "regular" Republicans still don't get this, and think they can just sit on their asses and people will magically show up and vote. Winsome Sears was a terrible candidate who generated ZERO enthusiasm--her break with Trump from 2022 did her in, and a better local party would have made sure they fielded a much better candidate.

"Spreading Democracy" is not our mission (or shouldn't be). Every country is - and must be - free to do whatever the hell it pleases up until it starts harming external parties. If it harms external parties - say, by sponsoring armed conflict, using atomic-powered extortion and conquest mechanisms, etc. = those external parties have every right to intervene.
I don't care what kind of government Iran or Red China have. All that matters it that they not launch wars, etc. against my country or her allies.

Iran refurbished several commercial ships over the years to act as drone motherships. I think a total of 4 - 5. They basically plastered a wooden or metal deck over the existing ship, added some paint and called it a "carrier."
All of them, if reports are accurate, were sunk. 3 of the 4 or 5 were in port. Along with several other Iranian Naval warships and their lone Kilo class sub.

The main problem with China is that they have been programmed for generations to hate the West. Maybe in 1950 they could have gone the other way, but those people taught the next generation to hate the West, and they taught the next... now it defines who they are.
Just like in Russia, they have been taught to "work the system before it works you" and are a very low trust society. Communism does that. China is worse. How do you give such people liberty?_

Broader Operational Context
Operation Epic Fury represents a coordinated effort by U.S. and allied forces to degrade Iranian military capabilities used to conduct drone and missile operations in the region. In addition to the Shahid Bagheri, initial strikes targeted IRGC command infrastructure, missile systems, air-defense networks, and naval facilities located at Bandar Abbas and Chah Bahar.

It doesn't matter if the economy is booming and they are rolling up the fraud and deporting entire nations of illegal aliens, if the Enemedia and Social Media techs embargo the Truth and continue to disseminate lies...
Then add the black pilled who see the Uniparty who utterly hates them, the country and Western civilization, whose existence in DC is purely to funnel graft and fraud to themselves and their cronies and see them get away with it...
Then the despicable retards in Congress who won't pass the SAVE Act or even take a few days off so Trump can fill in the backlog of appointments they refuse to do.

Iranian Liberation Dance Party Goes Worldwide
Just a quick happy one to start the day. I'll put up a real post soon.
Reportedly, Trump moved up the start of the operation when the CIA managed to actually do something useful. They determined that Khamenei and his top advisors would be, inadvisedly, getting together Saturday morning for a national security meeting. Trump forwarded that information to Israel which actually hit the site. Khameni and up to ten of his top officials were killed in that single strike. Since then most of Khamenei's family and his male successors have been killed, as well as 40 Revolutionary Guard commanders. Update: I just heard that there were three national security meetings that morning. All three were hit. Here are Iranians celebrating and thanking the USA (and Trump_ for their deliverance. And doing the Trump Dance:

I know you're excited for our freedom and we appreciate it. We love sharing our liberation with you.
But stop speaking over Iranian voices and telling us to rename our country to "Persia".
Iran is older than Islam.

The girl has sex with cars. No, I'm not making this up.
The basic premise is she was in a car accident as a kid, and to save her they put a metal plate in her head. She was thenceforth sexually attracted to metal and cars.
That's kind of an interesting premise. Too bad the movie abandons it almost immediately in favor of a very bland and boring story of a father who lost his son.
The girl has a great body, though, and is naked for half the movie.

Trump was a bit unclear in his first speech after the bombs started falling. He called on the people to rise up, but he also told them to stay in their homes, because the bombs were falling. I think the Iranian people are hunkering down for a bit, and will then rise up after they get the all clear.

Closest thing was a statement against interest about a year or two ago by a Shi'a religious official who was complaining about empty mosques and fewer and fewer worshippers attending services. Iran was actually closing down mosques about like the Church of England is doing to its churches from lack of attendees.
State churches are almost always a bad idea but particularly so in a theocracy as bad outcomes in policies inevitably get blamed on the religion and religious behavior laws inevitably get blamed for make life suck. So every bad thing that happens eventually gets blamed on the theocracy and the behavior of the clerics and their bullies stealing everything in sight does make matters better.
Only so long you can blame foreign bogeymen for making the citizens' lives horrible before they realize the problem is their own government/religion oppressing them.

Speaking on Tuesday, Minister of Culture Mohammad Mehdi Esmaili was commenting on the number of active mosques, which figures earlier this year revealed have gone down by a third.
He said: "Today, the figures and statistics circulating regarding active mosques are highly alarming. Active mosques are not merely places where congregational prayers are held three times a day. It seems a significant number of our mosques lack even this minimal function."
His remarks come at a time when Iranians are increasingly critical of the regime's alignment with Islam, with protests erupting since September 2022 following the death of Mahsa Amini in custody for a hijab-related offense.
In February, a senior Iranian cleric, Mohammad Abolghassem Doulabi, revealed that 50,000 out of 75,000 mosques nationwide had been closed due to a significant decline in attendance. Doulabi, an intermediary between President Ebrahim Raisi's administration and the country's seminaries, expressed concern over the fall and its implications for a state founded on Islamic principles.

IF that is true, this is really dangerous for a new government.
Muslim percentages between 10% and 90% mean they get very violent and murder other citizens. (Doesn't matter if they are in charge or not. They murder the infidel, like the Mullahs were doing OR it's outsourced to the street, like still happens in Egypt.)
So the government will have to crack down on them really hard to have a peaceful country.

Trump tells CNN the ‘big wave’ is yet to come in war with Iran.
“We’re knocking the crap out of them,” Trump told CNN’s Jake Tapper. “I think it’s going very well. It’s very powerful. We’ve got the greatest military in the world and we’re using it.”
Trump addressed a wide range of topics in the interview, including the expected length of the conflict, his surprise at Iran’s widespread retaliation and the country’s expected succession plan.
On how long the war might last, the president said, “I don’t want to see it go on too long. I always thought it would be four weeks. And we’re a little ahead of schedule.”
Asked if the US is doing more beyond the military assault to help the Iranian people regain control of their country from the regime, Trump said, “Yes.”
“We are indeed. But right now we want everyone staying inside. It’s not safe out there.”
And it’s about to get even less safe, the president said.
“We haven’t even started hitting them hard. The big wave hasn’t even happened. The big one is coming soon.”

Obviously the "one man one vote" concept is reserved for The West, mostly. Brutal tyrants apparently have long learned how to control the masses, or the rabble. And then their are the narco states run by the drug cartels, while their huddled masses pay other cartels to be slaves to those cartels while in the USA.

We didn't ask the UK to assist because we didn't want them to assist--we are cutting them out of global trade.
The deep state and the global elite had placed several fail-safes around the world to ensure that, should any US President get too pro-American, they could release those and re-assert control.
And Trump is dismantling them all.
Items:
1) Venezuela and Cuba to control South America
2) Iran to control the Middle East
3) Cartels in Mexico to bring chaos to our border to keep us distracted at home
But here is a bigger view:
London still dominates insuring international shipping. Billions and billions placed, funded, facilitated and ... controlled by London.
Our navy covers this cost of defense, they reap the benefit of the contracts.
And one of their biggest choke-points of control was forcing the world to placate Iran by threatening to raise insurance rates.
Notice how many times Starmer et al. have said they had nothing to do with the attack on Iran?
Because, behind the scenes, they have intimate relations with Iran, and the mullahs (who do their bidding via BP).
We have cut them out and, too late, they are realizing what Trump is doing ....

With very few facts to be had, the loss of the F-15s can probably be traced to bad communications with the air defense people and loss of situational awareness.

It doesn't matter.
Anything above about 5-9% is an intractable problem, depending on how devout the host population is to their own religion, and Iran's share is much much, higher than that. Even at 10% you definitely have an insoluble problem, short of killings, expulsions, and involuntary religious conversion, and all the horrors that go along with those things. And even then, the expelled will attempt new invasions, and the converted will try and rise.
If anyone thinks Iran's particularly aggressive Muslim fanatics will lay down their arms, accept a debate-based government, and submit to the will of the infidels and sinners who they once ruled, they're in for a terrible shock soon.

Seems Iran (and their Chinese friends) had this idea that, if they sent a massive barrage of missiles and drones at the US ships, we'd not be able to track and kill them all.
Wrong.
Our eyes in the sky tracked all 52, drones, anti-ship cruise and ballistic missiles, within seconds, before even the ballistic ones had reached 20k feet; still in launch burn.
That was in minute 1.
We still had 6+ more minutes before they reached us.

"Only"? Consider the Muslim population in the UK is 6.5% and the UK has been conquered by Islam. London is at 15%.
Paris, France is at 15% and conquered.
Germany is at 6.6% and is close to conquered.
Sweden is at 8%-10% and close to conquered.
Minneapolis, MN is 5% and conquered.
NYC, NY is 9%-12% and conquered.
37% is massive.
If Iran wants any chance to get back to Western values, they better get that 37% down to below 5%. Ideally down to 0%.

I think Trump is doing to China what I've been advocating for:
Containment.
Not direct confrontation, but cutting them out of the global market by cutting them off from the American market (as much as tariffs can), while ending their special relationships with oil producing partners.
The nation is in the middle of a decades' long demographic collapse. It needs to be contained for a generation, and then you can ignore it safely.

Alexander Dugin recently stated that if Iran collapses, Russia will be next, emphasizing that the fate of the two nations is intertwined in a broader geopolitical struggle.
"If Iran collapses, we are next.
"Our allies are being systematically destroyed one by one. It is clear who is next..."
"Everything depends on how long the IRGC holds out. If Iran holds, everything could go in the opposite direction. If it collapses, we are next."
Posted by: ShainS
=======
Dugin helped destroy Putin's legacy with a pointless war against Ukraine. Russia already had the most of the Russian speaking area under his control so little need to invade Ukraine at that point.
Huge waste of blood and treasure that proportionately was far worse for Russia than Iraq-Afghanistan was for the US.
A pyrrhic victory for Russia.

Protesters and counter-protesters gathered in downtown Indianapolis over the weekend following Saturday’s joint U.S.-Israeli strike on Iran.
The anti-war group was met by individuals supporting the military action. Military veterans who were there argued the strikes were a necessary response to state-sponsored terrorism, citing the loss of fellow service members to Iranian forces. While supporters viewed the attack as a step toward freedom for both Americans and Iranians, protesters argued the intervention was an illegal act of aggression and a violation of another country’s sovereignty.
State Capitol Police and additional units were called in to monitor the crowd and de-escalate verbal arguments that lasted for about an hour.

A suicide bombing took place at Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul, Afghanistan, on 26 August 2021, at 17:50 local time during the evacuation from Afghanistan. At least 182 people were killed, including 169 Afghan civilians and 13 members of the United States military, the first American military casualties in the war in Afghanistan since February 2020
politico 8/31/21:
A defiant President Joe Biden called the Afghanistan evacuation effort a 'success' on Tuesday, in a speech that marked the end of the United States' 20-year engagement in the country.
"As we close 20 years of war and strife and pain and sacrifice, it's time to look at the future, not the past,"
Biden said. "I believe this is the right decision, a wise decision, and the best decision for America."

But:

2.) China is getting the remainder of it's post-Maduro cut-rate fuels from Iran, and in the absence of that, they're gonna have to pay market rates - and the only hope they'll have of a dependable supply at any cost is from the Russians.
3.) The cherry on top is that the IRGC deposited their country's wealth in Russia against this day, but they are op in smoke, and with no depositors to collect, Russia is a little richer today.

That's a big statement, and I don't believe it.
Yes, many of Russia's allies - all of whom are American rivals or enemies - are toppling due to Venezuela and possibly Iran, but Russia isn't on the list as far as I can tell from an outside. Biden took care of evicting Russia from the West, and sent it running to the loving embrace of Red China. That hasn't changed.
What was Russia getting from Iran? Not much. It may no longer be able to use Iran for its MidEast policy, but Red China is arguably much worse off. It's now down *two* discount sources for oil. Other than what it can get out of Russia on favorable terms, Red China is on the open market for oil now. That strikes me as a bigger deal for it than the loss of Iran would be for Russia.

Careful with the "ever again" stuff. Didn't take long for the world to forget the Holocaust. Didn't take but 7 years for the USA to forget 09/11 and elect a Marxist Muslim-sympathizer as President. And now look at NYC.
History always repeats itself because those who lived through evil die off and the future generations ignore -- or never learn -- the lessons of the past.
Current Iranian generations may never again support Islam, but if they do not expunge it out of their country, Muslims will only lie in waiting for their time to take over again. Muslims have been doing that for thousands of years.
There will never be peace while Islam is allowed to exist. Naziism and Shintoism were banned after WWII. Until the same is done with Islam...

"Persia" comes from "Pars", the name of a tribe under the rule of another tribe, the Medes, until Cyrus the Great led the Pars in a rebellion and overthrew the Medes. But instead of subjugating them, Cyrus encouraged intermarrying, and eventually the two tribes became simply the Pars. So now "Persian" refers to people who are ethnically of that tribe. However, the country itself has numerous ethnic groups (including large Arabic and Jewish populations) and so the kingdom itself was called Iran, meaning "Aryan". Even the ethnic Arabs in the south call themselves Iranian. (They aren't Persian but their national identity is Iranian)

THE MORNING RANT: Any Refund of Tariffs Already Collected Should Go to Taxpayers, not Businesses
Now that the president has suffered such a stinging defeat, major businesses including Dyson, FedEx and L’Oreal have filed an early barrage of lawsuits in search of hefty tariff payouts. At stake is more than $100 billion in revenue collected over the past year under a roster of tariffs that the Supreme Court invalidated last week. While a defiant Mr. Trump has since taken steps to try to revive the duties, he still faces the prospect that the money collected from his past tariffs might have to be paid back. So far, roughly 900 claims seeking those refunds have been filed in federal court, according to the Liberty Justice Center, a legal group that represented some of the small businesses in the lawsuit that reached the nation’s justices.Since the free traders have so persistently argued that “Tariffs are a tax on consumers,” why should the businesses involved in importing goods be entitled to any tariff refunds? I thought we the consumers were the ones who paid those tariffs, not the businesses or their overseas suppliers. Here’s an idea on how we could resolve the refund of these contested tariffs to consumers - a tariff dividend from the government to taxpayers, just like President Trump proposed. Irrespective of how this specific political battle plays out, the Trump administration has plenty of other avenues to fix the nation’s trade imbalance, including the imposition of tariffs under other statutes. The “free traders” so desperate to see other countries prosper at the expense of the United States, and who despair at the thought of an American industrial revival, will not prevail. New tariffs will be imposed, because tariffs are working. As documented by F. Andrew Wolf Jr. at The American Spectator, the US trade deficit plunged a whopping 45% in Q4 of 2025 compared to Q4 of 2024! This was due to the Trump tariffs. There has also been a torrent of announcements from corporations in the past year regarding major investments in the United States for new manufacturing plants. Just a small sample of these announcements include:
• APPLE: $500 billion investment including a new Texas manufacturing plant.
• MICRON: $200 billion investment including $15 billion for a new chip fabrication facility in Idaho. • ELY LILLY: $6 billion plant in Huntsville, AL creating 450 jobs. • ASTRA ZENECA: $50 billion across multiple states. • JOHNSON & JOHNSON: $2 billion in North Carolina. The hundreds of billions being invested in the United States will create high paying jobs, which will then circulate money and prosperity throughout those communities. The products being manufactured stateside will also result in dollars remaining in the US to circulate, rather than being sent overseas. The Supreme Court’s ruling is a small setback, but it would be foolish for any company to think there will be a return to the business model of sourcing cheap products manufactured by foreign, poverty-wage labor. Ideally, the Trump administration will keep the tariffs already collected and find a workaround to re-impose the tariffs. But if those revenues must be refunded, they should be paid directly to American taxpayers as a “tariff dividend.” There is absolutely no reason for corporations to be the recipient of any refunds, because I’ve been reliably told that their collection was always a “tax on consumers.” and several unofficial anthems. There are frequent discussions in online Texas history forums about what the national anthem of Texas should be if it were ever to become a country again.
My vote for Texas National Anthem would be the Hill Country Theme. It was cowritten in the 1960s by Cindy Walker (who is famous for the song “You Don’t Know Me” and many Bob Wills songs.) Arthur Fiedler and the Boston Pops put it to an orchestral arrangement for a TV special about the Hill Country of Texas, where LBJ spent much of his presidency. It soon became a popular song played by Texas high school orchestras, and it also became the theme song of a show called Texas Country Reporter.
Here’s a nice video featuring the Boston Pops’ version of the Hill Country Theme:
By the way, if anyone is triggered by discussion of LBJ, the part of Texas he comes from has been solid Republican from the Civil War to present, and in the 1960s, his neighbors voted against him!
The 1861 Texas secession vote had a long legacy. 99 years later, in 1960, the Hill Country German counties were still voting Republican - the party of Lincoln - even though a resident of the Hill Country (LBJ) was the VP candidate for the Democrats and JFK. pic.twitter.com/biKxuod7TG

Because, if the money is gone, Congress has to authorize the spending to "reimburse" the multi-national multi-billion dollar corporations.
And party of "fighting oligarchy" and "fighting big business" will be out there demanding the American taxpayer send billions to those poor, poor corporations.
Or, to put it another way, all these corporations are going to quietly drop their reimbursement lawsuits.

There is no more fair way to a use or sales tax of collecting taxes. In the free world market and the local markets it allows the consumer a daily vote on the policies of international, national, and local governments as the consumer may buy nationally to support their government and borders just as they may shop locally to support the business with the benefits of taxes building THEIR infrastructures.
On the other hand it also allows the protestors a real output of their displeasure by avoiding purchases.

For strategic industries, definitely, but some small businesses are going out with the bathwater. Restaurateurs for one are shrinking their profit margins because of tariffs on foods and equipment.

On a related note, regarding student loans and the attempt to 'forgive' them in the previous administration. I had a modest proposal that could help those that wanted to be free from the debt, but not steal from the hardworking Americans who were alredy taxed heavily to pay for college kids - make the colleges and universities be the ones to forgive the loans.
Specifically, claw back money from their endowments. The price for college diplomas have skyrocketed, but the actual quality has gone down. If students are getting fleeced for years past when they received their shoddy product, then maybe have those very colleges pay back what they took.
The students get a reprieve. The American taxpayers don't get a sudden proctology exam from the IRS poking the wrong pocket. The colleges end up with an issue, but they caused it in the first place, and should be made to suffer for their malfeasance.

The tariffs don't touch on ag products that are not produced in the US (on the whole) or trade agreements can exclude those like they do in other countries, regularly. The same for critical industries and raw materials, though some of these industries are not done in the US because it was more profitable to send them to China and Africa, and the US industries got undercut on purpose to lure them away.
It is not a perfect situation, but then again nothing ever is.
Think of it as "encouraging consumers to buy from the local shops at a higher price because the money spent stays in the local economy instead of going to Amazon or Temu"
It has the side benefit of being able to be sure what you are getting is of decent quality and not a gamble on getting "good" Yang Poon

I'll say again what I was trying to say on Saturday, without the torrent of profanity.
To those on the Right who are saying that Trump is betraying MAGA or controlled by Netanyahu: STFU. The two men have different goals that can be attained by the same means, and more easily with the other's help. Trump's motivations, for his part, are MAGA. Like, maximum MAGA. If it goes to plan, you'll see that when we've popped China's leash so hard they stay at heel for decades.
To those on the Right who are being triumphalist, and spiking the ball: STFU. This has opened up a lot of horrible potentialities, and we are far from achieving the aforementioned goals - don't fool yourselves once again into thinking this is awesome because American forces are demonstrating operational excellence. Achieving the goal will be easier if you don't alienate MAGA people who were against military involvement - I was one of them, of course.
Now is the time for people to be adults, figure out the minimum acceoptable victory condition, and reach it as quickly as possible, not act like children because they didn't get what they want, or did.

From 4/1/2011 --- AUTHORITY TO USE MILITARY FORCE IN LIBYA
The President had the constitutional authority to direct the use of military force in Libya because
he could reasonably determine that such use of force was in the national interest.
Prior congressional approval was not constitutionally required to use military force in the limited operations under consideration.
MEMORANDUM OPINION FOR THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
This memorandum memorializes advice this Office provided to you, prior to the
commencement of recent United States military operations in Libya, regarding the President’s
legal authority to conduct such operations. For the reasons explained below, we concluded that
the President had the constitutional authority to direct the use of force in Libya because he could
reasonably determine that such use of force was in the national interest. We also advised that
prior congressional approval was not constitutionally required to use military force in the limited operations under consideration.

Leftists and fake woke Right both lie about military actions--War Powers Resolution allows the president to use troops up to sixty days without Congressional approval. Trump has already met the notification standard with the Gang of 8 notification shortly before our attacks kicked off.
In reality, if War was declared, president would have all sorts of powers under various statutes up to and including censoring media, massive leap in requiring corporations produce or not produce certain goods, deportation of Alien Enemies without judicial review, and more. Even wage and price controls.

Garamendi, 539 U.S. at 414. “Our history,” this Office observed in 1980, “is replete with instances of presidential uses of military force abroad in the absence of prior congressional approval.” Presidential Power, 4A Op.

Importantly, they shut down tariffs based on the rationale that Trump used for this case. Trump has already said that that they'll use a different rationale and, I believe, they have several. Unless SCOTUS moves forward and says that the President cannot impose tariffs no matter what laws have been passed and previously determined to be okay, tariffs are here for at least as long as Trump is.

This will take some investigation to figure out what happened. I am guessing the Kuwaiti anti-aircraft missiles are U.S.-made, and set up by U.S. techs? And somehow the radars saw the 3 F-15's amd locked on, and missiles were launched?
Now isn't there supposed to be IFF in the mix there, too? I'm wondering if maybe the F-15's had been spoofing Iranian aircraft, in order to deceive iranian air defence, and forget to turn the spoofing off when returning to "friendly" airspace.

Well, we did deliver two Patriot anti-air missile systems to them some time ago. If that's what took down 3 of our 4th generation F-15E's then.... that's one thing.
If those F-15's were downed by HAWK anti-air systems, an older, less capable system than the Patriot then.... that's something else.
Both are used by Kuwait.

A *lot* of people, especially those on the older side, still believe that if something isn't in the MSM it didn't happen. This comes up a lot when people start wailing that Trump isn't doing anything or that ICE has stopped deporting people. Neither of those things are true, it's just the MSM isn't saying anything unless there's an obvious DNC win angle, like when Boasberg pops up.

Assuming the F-15Es had their IFF turned back on after combat ops. Granted three at once is weird and improbable.
Assuming their Mode 4 worked, again three at once unlikely.
Or simply like the idiots in the Stennis battle group shooting an F-18F down and almost bagging two more Hornets. It was all a communications breakdown and loss of situational awareness on the air defense people.

In a depressing project, I read all the state's secession debates which are out there if you want to read them. It was not tariffs in 1860, it was slavery and the fact that Dred Scott in 1857 promised the South that slavery would be allowed nationwide. There was also fear that Lincoln would free the blacks.
Expansion of slavery was a big economic deal as the eastern states in the South had fields that were played out so like Jefferson and Madison, selling slaves was about the only way to make those plantations profitable.

Expansion of slavery was a big economic deal as the eastern states in the South had fields that were played out so like Jefferson and Madison, selling slaves was about the only way to make those plantations profitable.
----
I haven't heard this before. Selling slaves from a plantation was profitable? Who was buying and for what work? Honest questions.

161 years later we're still relitigating the Civil War. If you count from the Constitutional Convention to the Lincoln campaign, they were litigating it for 73 years beforehand.
I would argue that the Union had a tougher time of it politically, since they were litigating it in the middle, too.
It would have been a touch easier if they were just committed to a quick victory instead of pissing in each other's gruel all the time. At least the Confederacy just went into full victory-mode. Had the Union managed that, it would have been the walkover they bullshitted each other about in '61.

When the U.S. took Maduro they killed 30+ Cuban commandos without a scratch. In Iran, the U.S. and Israel will eliminate every IGRC that resists without sending in a single soldier.
This will be a profound lesson for the world. We can dominate your military any time we want.
Imagine a B2 bomber flying over Iran, but instead of one big bomb, it drops hundreds of smaller bombs, each individually able to maneuver in the air, controlled by an 18-year-old sitting in a trailer at Nellis. Each one navigates to a target, and hits with complete precision.
The future is cheap, fast, accurate, and highly lethal.

Why would you have a pic of Esther today?
(Joking. Esther is one of the few OT books I've read.)
Another artist who couldn't afford anything but brown paint, alas. Alexa, brighten this up with colorfulness.
The important thing, of course, is to ask if the attendant on the right is a gal and topless, or just some eunuch?

Edwin Long's painting captures the biblical story of Queen Esther, who risked her life to save her people from persecution. The artwork reflects the Victorian academic style, characterized by meticulous detail and realistic representation. Long's use of vibrant colors, particularly gold and red, conveys the opulence of the Persian court.
Themes and Interpretation
The painting depicts Esther in a moment of tension, poised before King Ahasuerus. This scene symbolizes courage and the struggle for justice. Esther's expression reflects her inner turmoil, embodying the complexities of her role as both a queen and a Jewish woman in a precarious position.

There are actually 2 days of Purim. If you're in the Persian town of Shushan or in several ancient Israeli cities, such as here in Jerusalem, the holiday is celebrated not tonight but tomorrow night through Wednesday. For the rest of the world, Purim is celebrated beginning this evening through tomorrow.

Long story but the Jews of Shushan were given an additional day to destroy their enemies and only rested the day after the same was done the day before by the Jews elsewhere throughout the Persian Empire.
Then, in order to recall that the exile was not the place where the Jews belonged, they retroactively set the holiday's date based on whether the locale one is in was a walled city from the time of Joshua's conquest of Cana'an, as Jerusalem was.
Have to cut it short and head out for a while. Maybe l8r.

I remember a long-ago interview with Frank Zappa in which he stated that his new album had "Everything that America loves, and that is beer and tits".
The (female) interviewer said "I don't like either of those things and I'm 51% of America."
Zappa: "Well, if you don't like them maybe you should go have them chopped off."

Per wikipedia
The word comes from Latin torquis (or torques), from torqueo, "to twist", because of the twisted shape many of the rings have. Typically, neck-rings that open at the front when worn are called "torcs" and those that open at the back "collars". Smaller bracelets and armlets worn around the wrist or on the upper arm sometimes share very similar forms. Torcs were made from single or multiple intertwined metal rods, or "ropes" of twisted wire. Most of those that have been found are made from gold or bronze, less often silver, iron or other metals (gold, bronze and silver survive better than other metals when buried for long periods).

I also liked that imprisoning without charge people (LEGAL FUCKING CITIZENS) and torturing them by denying them medical care or access to lawyers was the bestest thing ever. They saw these people as far less deserving of praise than FUCKING CHILD MOLESTING MURDERING FUCKS.

A beautifully detailed painting; all of the models are so young. (Wikipedia) "The painting was meant to be hung next to a similar painting depicting Vashti."
Edwin Longsden Long RA was a successful English genre, history, biblical and portrait painter. He is best known for his Orientalist paintings, many very large, which fetched high prices. His The Babylonian Marriage Market is perhaps his best known work in this line. Wikipedia
Born: July 12, 1829, Somerset, United Kingdom
Died: May 15, 1891 (age 61 years), Hampstead, London, United Kingdom
Period: Orientalism
Books: Ione: A Tale of Ephesus, The Price of Beauty: Edwin Long's Babylonian Marriage Market (1875).

On November 11, 2025, Jack Schlossberg announced his run to become the Democratic candidate in New York's 12th congressional district in the 2026 U.S. House of Representatives election. He is running for the seat being vacated by incumbent Jerry Nadler, who is retiring.
(AI Overview) Based on recent reports, Jack Schlossberg and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. are on opposite sides of the political spectrum, with Schlossberg heavily criticizing his cousin for aligning with the MAGA movement under Donald Trump.
Vehemently criticized RFK Jr. for this alignment, calling him a "collared dog" of Trump and a "pariah" to the Kennedy family legacy. Has accused Trump of being "obsessed" with the Kennedy name and trying to dismantle his grandfather's legacy, while criticizing his cousin for spreading misinformation and participating in this process.

THIS is why I give Tucker a bit of a break for going nutty as a fucking squirrel turn now. He actually stood up and said 'Fuck you' when EVERYONE else was folding like a cheap suit. Sure, it might have been partly for monetary gain, but at the same time, you all are looking backward with rose glasses.
Remember the Ministry of Disinformation? Remember all the J6 arrests that kept expanding outward. Remember the televised congressional panel looking into 'sedition'?
Tucker was speaking out against these fuckers when nearly ALL of our elected officials would not even mention this shit. MTG was another one.
SURE it could have been cynical. But it seemed like an odd play to make at the time, considering the atmosphere.

There is a lot of open homoeroticism in people like Fuentes, the Hodge Twins, the Krassensteins, etc. Dunno if that is a Gen Z thing but twinks don't impress me much.

They believed that this was a land of opportunity, and they were ready to do whatever it took to make it in this country. That's what generations of Italian and Irish immigrants did in this country. And I think if we welcome folks who want to contribute and be Americans, it's gonna make us stronger and richer—because it already has.

The Morning Report — 3/2/26
Thirty-six hours after the United States military launched strikes against the regime of the Islamic Republic of Iran, President Donald Trump issued a video update Sunday on Operation Epic Fury from his Mar-a-Lago residence. . . The president characterized Operation Epic Fury as “one of the largest, most complex, most overwhelming military offensives the world has ever seen.” The allied militaries struck “hundreds of targets in Iran, including Revolutionary Guard facilities, Iranian air defense systems,” and “nine ships plus their naval base, all in a matter of literally minutes.” . . . The president also defended the joint strikes, declaring the U.S. was “undertaking a massive operation, not merely to ensure security for our own time and place, but for our children and their children.” “This is the duty and burden of a free people,” he reflected. “These actions are right, and they are necessary to ensure Americans will never have to face a radical, bloodthirsty terrorist regime, armed with nuclear weapons.” “For almost 50 years, these wicked extremists have been attacking the United States while chanting the slogan ‘Death to America’ or ‘Death to Israel’ or both. They are the world’s number one state sponsor of terror,” Trump added. “These intolerable threats will not continue any longer.” (RELATED: ‘I Have Agreed’: Trump Says Iran’s New Leaders Want To Talk') . . “Combat operations continue in full force and will continue until all of our objectives are achieved,” he stated. Turning to the remaining authorities in Iran, Trump urged “the Revolutionary Guards, the Iranian military police, to lay down your arms and receive full immunity or face certain death. It will be certain death, it won’t be pretty.” The president then made another appeal to the Iranian people, urging regime change.Well, there's the rub my friends. Who will be the new leaders and what kind of government and society will emerge once the dust settles and the rubble of the old regime is cleared away? Over the last few weeks, I have had many links that show the Persian people are absolutely against any kind of return to an Islamic theocracy. Of course, it's the IRGC and security services that will call the shots, literally and figuratively unless they either surrender or are eradicated. I fear the President is correct in that "it won't be pretty." So far we have at least three American servicemen dead and a number of others reported wounded along with a number of Israeli citizens killed in missile strikes. God bless all of them, and protect those on the front lines and the innocents who are behind the lines.
The political fallout here at home is predictable. The Fifth columnist Democrat Left and their media puppets are with the terrorists in Tehran. Lest we forget it was they who inflicted the Iranian regime on us 47 years ago when Jimmy Carter abandoned the Shah and the Iranian people to their fate and unleashed a half-century of global Islamic terrorism on the world with many Americans murdered and maimed as a result, as Iran sought to acquire nuclear weapons to bring about Armageddon as the precursor to the Shiite Islamic conquest of the world. We also have the isolationist crowd bleating out that Trump betrayed MAGA by starting a new war. Well, that remains to be seen depending upon how long this goes on and if, God-forbid American boots arrive on the ground in Iran. Special forces/operations notwithstanding, I cannot imagine the 3rd ID, the Marines or the 82nd and/or 101st Airborne coming ashore as it did in the Gulf Wars. That would be madness. So can Air power alone achieve Trump's aims of regime change and Iranian liberation? Well, in his words, we'll just have to wait and see.
Meanwhile, with our attention overseas, this happened here at home:
The gunman behind Austin’s possible terror-related mass shooting entered the US and cemented his legal immigration status under Democrat administrations — despite a growing criminal record.
Senegalese national Ndiaga Diagne, 53, arrived in America on March 13, 2000, on a B-2 tourist visa during the Clinton administration, a source familiar with his immigration history told The Post on Sunday.
Diagne — who killed two people and wounded 14 more during his rampage outside a Texas bar early Sunday — then became a lawful permanent resident on an IR-6 visa in June 2006 when he married a US citizen, the source said. He had already racked up at least one arrest before that, for illegal vending in June 2001 in New York City, law-enforcement sources said. He then went on to lodge a string of other arrests in the Big Apple between 2008 and 2016 — but that didn’t stop him becoming a naturalized US citizen on April 5, 2013 — around the start of former President Barack Obama’s second term, sources said. Those three arrests are sealed, sources said.
Diagne also was arrested in Texas at some point on undisclosed charges, sources said.
He was a known emotional disturbed person in both states, too, sources said. Diagne then applied for asylum in 2016, though the outcome or stated purpose of that application was not immediately clear.
The serial offender opened fire outside Buford’s Backyard Beer Garden near the University of Texas-Austin Campus early Sunday, killing two bar patrons and wounding 14 others before he was shot and killed by police.
He was wearing a “Property of Allah” hoodie at the time of the rampage and had a Quran in his car, sources familiar with the investigation told The Post. The FBI is investigating whether he was motivated by the US-Israel-led campaign against Iran — sources said he was wearing an undershirt emblazoned with the Iranian flag or other Iran-related imagery.
With all of that I say, GIVE 'EM HELL John Fetterman!!!
And a Happy Purim to my Jewish friends and all of you who cherish freedom!!!! Have a great day! And lastly, a quick shout-out and a huge thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.

It will be certain death. won’t be pretty. I call upon all Iranian patriots who yearn for freedom to seize this moment, to be brave, be bold, be heroic, and take back your country.

- This evening, Jews around the world will celebrate Purim, one of the narrowest escapes and greatest triumphs in biblical history. Around 2,500 years ago, Esther and her uncle Mordecai thwarted Haman’s scheme to convince King Ahasuerus to slaughter all the captive Jews in Persia. The skill with which these heroes staved off destruction has heartened Jews and haunted their enemies ever since. One person who will not join the Purim festivities is the modern Haman, Ali Khamenei. Along with several of his top subordinates, the supreme leader of Iran died Saturday morning in the first minutes of a ferocious Israeli-American onslaught. Like Haman, Khamenei made fundamental strategic mistakes that cost him dearly. Iran’s fate will depend on if his successors learn from his errors.

So, again, people keep— describe that it was a legal war. Now read the War Powers Act. And, now, that has not been violated at this point what happened yesterday.”

When the Federal Republican Constitution of their country, which they have sworn to support, no longer has a substantial existence, and the whole nature of their government has been forcibly changed, without their consent, from a restricted federative republic, composed of sovereign states, to a consolidated central military despotism, in which every interest is disregarded but that of the army and the priesthood, both the eternal enemies of civil liberty, the everready minions of power, and the usual instruments of tyrants.

When, in consequence of such acts of malfeasance and abdication on the part of the government, anarchy prevails, and civil society is dissolved into its original elements. In such a crisis, the first law of nature, the right of self-preservation, the inherent and inalienable rights of the people to appeal to first principles, and take their political affairs into their own hands in extreme cases, enjoins it as a right towards themselves, and a sacred obligation to their posterity, to abolish such government, and create another in its stead, calculated to rescue them from impending dangers, and to secure their future welfare and happiness.

The Mexican government, by its colonization laws, invited and induced the Anglo-American population of Texas to colonize its wilderness under the pledged faith of a written constitution, that they should continue to enjoy that constitutional liberty and republican government to which they had been habituated in the land of their birth, the United States of America.
In this expectation they have been cruelly disappointed, inasmuch as the Mexican nation has acquiesced in the late changes made in the government by General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, who having overturned the constitution of his country, now offers us the cruel alternative, either to abandon our homes, acquired by so many privations, or submit to the most intolerable of all tyranny, the combined despotism of the sword and the priesthood.

It has suffered the military commandants, stationed among us, to exercise arbitrary acts of oppression and tyrrany, thus trampling upon the most sacred rights of the citizens, and rendering the military superior to the civil power.
It has dissolved, by force of arms, the state Congress of Coahuila and Texas, and obliged our representatives to fly for their lives from the seat of government, thus depriving us of the fundamental political right of representation.
It has demanded the surrender of a number of our citizens, and ordered military detachments to seize and carry them into the Interior for trial, in contempt of the civil authorities, and in defiance of the laws and the constitution.

If you search for America's longest war, it comes back with Afghanistan - at 19 years and 10 months. But Iran has been in a declared war with the US for 47 years. That our national 'leadership' couldn't be bothered to notice that the Iranians seemed serious about it does not change that fact.

It's an op as the phrase is being used repetitively on X. No plan, no plan, no plan, etc.
Basically ignoring the fact that the batshit crazy mullahs wanted to blow up the world to bring out the hidden iman and believed this fairy tale. And were killing Americans for the last 47 years, inciting terrorism killing thousands world wide, and now killing their own people at an astounding rate that simply disagree with their government.
An Iran with no navy, no missiles, no military bases, no aircraft, no nuclear facilities, and no industrial plants making drones or missiles under any leadership is unlikely to cause problems for its neighbors nor buy off politicians in the West.
Let the Iranian people decide what comes next after mullahs.

She has a prayer. Depends on a few phenomena. Who will be Republican nominee? A throwback to GOP establishment or a populist? After Trump, the GOPe will be fighting tooth and nail to reclaim the party. Can Vance truly embrace MAGA.2? Will he face populist opposition who can win over MAGA but cannot build a national coalition? And of course AOC could completely rebrand herself, i.e., lie through her teeth about who she is (with media's help). The way the country's national intelligence is collapsing, no way to predict.

165 @131 Whig, that is also very interesting. The US is going against hundreds of years of tradition saying you don't go after the political and military leaders.”
Imagine how quickly WW2 would have ended if we could have killed Hitler, all of his staff, and all of his generals in the first 24 hours of that war.
We just didn’t have the capability before. Wretchard wrote an interesting piece on X about how in this new phase of war, the leaders and the generals will die first, not last. (Unless they’re willing to be line Sinwar and live like a rat in tunnels from now on)
And if a country doesn’t have the ability to do this to its enemies, they has better not play the game.

Of course they are going to target civilian centers, is the only retaliatory option the regime has.

This is why they are getting the shit kicked out of them in such a humiliating fashion.

Well written explanation for why no Muslim (now practicing or previously practicing) should be allowed to immigrate to the US.
Basic tenet of Muslim faith is conquering and ruling all others and lying is allowed to this end. It is incompatible with US values.
Also addresses how immigrants are supposed to be grateful to host country and live by the values of host country.

Pictures were posted of people shooting big holes in mASSIE campaign signs. Don't think his prancing around with X statements while a war is going on will help in Kentucky either.
You can be a Walter Jones and survive (he was a GOP member opposing Bush's actions) because a) he was former military, and b) he wasn't a prancing goofball doing it. He voted GOP for all other things. Rand has also gotten away with much of his opposition because his votes for GOP are there when needed and he makes his statement and moves on.
mASSIE has got it in his head that he is much more important than his mere district and that naturally sitting with a far leftist squad member at an SOTU and putting out insults to Trump and others will play well in his district. It won't I think.

This is why Judge BonerBurger is desperate in his mad quest to hold Trump in contempt.
Because he was one of the key judges they relied upon to sign those warrants.
And they were so outrageous--even on the face, let alone what they hid--that he is scrambling for insurance.
Which he thinks is media cover of "Trump is only arresting judge Boesberg in retaliation!!!"

Sub-optimal.
We reverse-engineered Iranian drones and spoofed their transmissions to make them look like "friendlies" to the Iranian air defense.
We're slapping Starlink receivers on our suicide drones, adding next-gen capability to any of our drones, that no other country can add.
Not just ground-hugging radar evasion but impossible to jam or disrupt.
We could fly a drone into Xi's palace and no one in China, except a few peasants in the hills, will ever see it.

U.S. SecWar Pete Hegseth held a press conference on the US-Israeli strikes on Iran:
"It turns out, the regime who chanted 'death to America' and 'death to Israel' — was gifted death from America, and death from Israel."
"This is not a so-called regime change war, but the regime sure did change," said Hegseth.
"Our ambitions are not utopian, but they are realistic," Hegseth added, saying that the US mission in Iran was to "destroy Iran's missiles, navy and deny Tehran nuclear weapons".
"This is not Iraq, this is not endless war," he said.

Well written explanation for why no Muslim (now practicing or previously practicing) should be allowed to immigrate to the US.
Basic tenet of Muslim faith is conquering and ruling all others and lying is allowed to this end. It is incompatible with US values.
Also addresses how immigrants are supposed to be grateful to host country and live by the values of host country.

Nouri Hamedani responded in writing to a request from the presidium of the Assembly of Seminary Students and Scholars in Qom, and on Sunday he said all Muslims are religiously obliged to avenge Khamenei’s death at the hands of the perpetrators.
Makarem Shirazi issued a fatwa identifying the United States and Israel as the “main perpetrators” and described retaliation as a religious duty for Muslims worldwide “until the evil of these criminals is eradicated from the world.”

The more.... "motivated" ones will take their time to prepare something other than a rage induced attack on a soft, unprepared target. Although, civilian targets (gathering places like shopping centers) would be high fatality/low risk targets.
Coordinated attacks by a handful of terrorists on civilians would have a pretty high "rate of return" on the terror scale and generate a lot of press.

During active combat—that included attacks from Iranian aircraft, ballistic missiles, and drones — the U.S. Air Force fighter jets were mistakenly shot down by Kuwaiti air defenses.
All six aircrew ejected safely, have been safely recovered, and are in stable condition. Kuwait has acknowledged this incident, and we are grateful for the efforts of the Kuwaiti defense forces and their support in this ongoing operation.
The cause of the incident is under investigation. Additional information will be released as it becomes available."

We've had so many "endless wars" in recent decades, that people forget what a real war is like. You don't go into it just because you feel like it, and you don't really know how it's going to go, or how long it lasts. Did FDR say "Don't worry, this WWII thing will only last a few years?" It's absurd. Reporters asking Trump questions like that are propagandists and morons.

I'm generally amused by US Senator Fetterman (D-PA) and that's probably good as he's one of my state's two US Senators, and balances out some of the in-state TDS rhetoric of the Governor and some of the state's U.S. Representatives, such as Summer Lee and Mary Gay Scanlon, the latter of whom chose to attend the People's State of the Union, organized by MoveOn Civic Action and MeidasTouch, in lieu of the President's SOTU address. (Yes, the periodic, phony "decency and respect" play, less anyone look closely at any of their brands of politics. All, imho)
Yes, Fetterman spoke the truth and supported facts that Iran is a threat, and the US War Powers Act was not violated by President Trump.
The law provides a 60-to-90-day window for authorized engagement and that the president must notify Congress within 48 hours of introducing armed forces into hostilities. The administration notified the "Gang of Eight" fulfilling immediate notification requirements.
Congress holds the power to declare war, the President operates as Commander in Chief, and the War Powers Resolution of 1973 attempts to balance the roles.

Perhaps the most important factor that can insure the evil Islamic regime stays toppled has yet to speak again. That factor: the numerous Iranians who hate the regime and love freedom. In the past they have protested and made their voices heard only to be brutally silenced by the regime. Now, President Trump has given them far and away the best opportunity they are ever likely to see.
But are there enough of them? Are they organized enough? Most importantly: are they MOTIVATED enough?
God, may it be so. Please let those Iranians who love freedom and hate this regime rise up and finish it off! Amen.

Daily Tech News 2 March 2026
Top Story
- The entry-level PC market - systems priced between $500 and $1000 - is predicted to be wiped out by 2028. (WCCFTech)
The leading cause of this mass extinction is everyone's favourite villain, Sam Altman of OpenAI. CPU and motherboard prices haven't moved, but RAM prices have increased 300 to 500%, with video cards as collateral damage, and storage prices are heading into the stratosphere as well.
I suspect the video game market will be forced to adjust to lower average specs for the next few years. Either that or they're going to lose all their remaining customers to indie titles that run fine on ten-year-old hardware.
Hytale recommends a Radeon 400 series, a range that came out in 2016. Silksong recommends a Radeon 380 from 2015, but will run on a Radeon 7750 from 2012. And that means it will run on pretty much any laptop's integrated graphics.
Custom PC builders are going to be hurting for years, though.
Tech News
- We've cured cancer in mice. Again. (Science Daily)
The new treatment this time uses a metal-organic framework - iron-based nano-particles - to trigger oxidative stress within the tumour cells while leaving healthy tissue untouched.
- Lenovo has announced a whole bunch of expensive toys at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, including the latest Legion Tab. (Notebook Check)
The Legion Tab 5 is slightly better and a whole lot more expensive that the Legion Tab 3 I have. Display resolution is up from the already excellent (for an 8.8" tablet) to 3040x1904, and the CPU has been upgraded from an already fast Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 to a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5.
The microSD card slot on earlier models has not returned, nor has the headphone jack. And the MSRP is two and a half times what I paid for mine, making it an easy upgrade to skip.
- ClawJacked is an attack that lets people break into your local OpenClaw instances by getting you to load a web page. (Bleeping Computer)
Because web pages running on your browser are free to access websocket services running on your local PC, which is something OpenClaw does. OpenClaw is password protected but not rate-limited on its local ports, so code running in your browser can simply keep guessing.
I won't judge OpenClaw harshly on this one. Too few developers understand that this is even possible, let alone take any measures to guard against it.
- I said I was done buying new computer bits. I lied.
As I mention on my own blog yesterday, I was wandering around the web looking for specs for something - I've since forgotten what I was looking for - when I noticed that an Aussie online store was selling 4TB SSDs at the 2TB price.
I was very good. I wanted to buy eight. I bought two. About $290 each including tax and shipping, which is a damn good price for a PCIe 4.0 TLC drive right now.
Didn't have anything on my list for today, so here's the opening song for last year's stand-out anime series, Ruri Rocks. It's the story of Ruri, and rocks.
Yes, the older girl does carry a medieval war hammer on her back. Gotta carry protection against bears and sudden outcroppings of feldspar.
Bonus: Full-length music video by the vocalist:
Unrelated: A new trailer for Witch Hat Atelier just popped up.
Despite its looks, this one is not all sweetness and light. The manga is excellent, though, and I have high hopes for the anime.

I get it. The domestic Left has mostly forstalled his powers by their control of the courts and the complicity of the Republican DC corruptocrats.
Trump sees Empire building as his only path to historical greatness.
But Trump’s ignoring of the enemy within will only increase it's power and will consign him to historical irrelevance like it did with Reagan.
Trump’s only path to historical greatness will be crushing the domestic Left.
But I fear Trump’s focus on international affairs signals a surrender on the domestic side.

There are 21 to 30 million voters that do NOT belong on the rolls.
They have lived in the US long enough to escape detection and are living on pass down SS# or stolen IDs or share IDs.
2020 had 155 million votes.
2024 had 152 million votes.
Now imagine with SAVE that number goes to 140 or maybe even 135.

The moving company guy I talked with last week has not called me back after two emails. The real estate agent in Owensboro, ditto. And after talking with three apartment complexes there, I've realized that with pet deposits, security deposits, rent, fees, "pet rent," and the cost to break a lease, renting an apartment there for less than a year would be insane. Not to mention their rents are insane by my standards.
I want to move, but I don't see how I can.

With his bushy white beard and easy smile, Ayatollah Khamenei cut a more avuncular figure in public than his perpetually scowling but much more revered mentor, and he was known to be fond of Persian poetry and classic Western novels, especially Victor Hugo’s “Les Misérables.” But like the uncompromising Khomeini, he opposed moderates’ efforts to promote political and social reforms domestically and to secure rapprochement with the United States.

He can do the same for you. This morning I offer you these two scriptures to comfort you:
Philippians 4: 6-7
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Isaiah 41:10
Do not be afraid, for I am with you.
Do not be anxious, for I am your God.
I will fortify you, yes, I will help you,
I will really hold on to you with my right hand of righteousness.

But after all the turmoil, and if Trump succeeds, just imagine what he will have accomplished: the two main suppliers of oil to China will now be under American control, the main source of turmoil in the middle east will have been stopped cold, Russia's main drone supplies ended, and the Abraham Accords will get a jolt of support. And Europe? Who cares.

I think were are into double alpha versions.
The Eagle took its maiden flight in July 1972, and entered service in 1976. It is among the most successful modern fighters, with 104 victories and 0 losses in aerial combat, with the majority of the kills by the Israeli Air Force.
However, reduced procurement pushed the retirement of the remaining F-15C/D, mostly in the Air National Guard, to 2026 and forced the service to supplement the F-22 with an advanced Eagle variant, the F-15EX, to maintain enough air superiority fighters. The F-15 remains in service with numerous countries.

Just a thought: if the current de facto leader of Iran is spouting the same messaging as every woke influencer imaginable, maybe people should start questioning where that messaging is coming from and why it’s so endemic.

“How did Iran get so close to a nuclear weapon? Let's follow the money Hillary Clinton becomes Barack Obama's Secretary of State in 2009. During her tenure from 09-13, there were 4 companies that donated large amounts of money to the Clinton Foundation. Those companies are Boeing, Airbus Total and Siemens. Their donation amounts total up to $25 million, but no less than $5 million. There's not exact numbers. Perhaps. They were hoping to influence Obama and Hillary as they were negotiating with Iran trying to get the nuclear deal signed, which they eventually did In 2015. On July 14th, 2015, the JCPOA was signed lifting sanctions off of Iran and unfreezing 50 to $150 billion in cash assets. And then between January 17th and February 5th, 2016, Obama sent $1.7 billion in untraceable cash to Iran. This money presented an untraceable foreign currency was said to be a settlement for a 1979 arms deal with Iran. That was $400 million, but with $1.3 billion in interest, at least that's what the Obama administration said. It was later on that February, the Obama administration tried to secretly grant Iran access to U.S treasury payment system, which would have netted them $5.7 billion in currency conversion if it hadn't failed. (The banks were like, what the f*ck is this? Hell no.) Later on that year, in April of 2016, the Obama administration dropped charges to several Iranian arms dealers so they wouldn't derail the JCPOA. This really pissed off Obama's Department of Justice, but Obama had to maintain his legacy. And then between March and December of 2016 is when Airbus got an $18 billion contract because of the lifted sanctions in Iran. Boeing got a $16.6 billion contract total, got a $4.8 billion contract, and Siemens got a $1 billion contract with Iran, or I should say Iranian regime controlled companies. But then in November, the unthinkable happens and Hillary Clinton loses the 2016 election to Donald Trump, and suddenly these 4 companies no longer donate to the Clinton Foundation ever again.Click the link to read the whole thing / watch a video segment from the author
A Colorado man was given a heartwarming surprise last week, after his granddaughter reached out to strangers who provided one last look at his favorite thing—a classic car show. “I just wanted to do something special for him,” his granddaughter, Annaliesse Garcia, told KDVR News. And ‘special’ it was, as dozens of car owners paraded past their grandfather’s home in Lakewood. After posting the request on social media, the family only expected a handful of autos, but around 50 showed off their curvy bumpers and round mirrors for 80-year-old Max Archuleta, a lifelong fan of vintage vehicles. Since being diagnosed with terminal cancer, he no longer has the energy to attend his beloved car shows.Video segment at the link. Very kewl! ----- Strangely satisfying to watch

Parthian Practicality: Mobility and Multicultural Flair (247 BCE–224 CE) Under the Parthians, nomadic influences merged with Persian traditions, creating versatile clothing suited for an equestrian lifestyle. Women's fashion evolved to prioritize movement while retaining decorative elements. Typical outfits featured long-sleeved tunics or dresses, layered over trousers for horseback riding—a groundbreaking adaptation that spread across Asia. Fabrics like wool and silk were embroidered with geometric patterns or floral motifs, influenced by Silk Road trade. Belts cinched the waist, often embellished with gold or silver buckles. Veils were common, pinned with ornate clasps, and tiaras or serrated headscarves added height and drama. Colors ranged from earthy tones to vibrant blues and greens, with jewelry like rectangular earrings and necklaces enhancing the look. Parthian women, depicted in sculptures and textiles, embodied a blend of warrior spirit and grace, foreshadowing modern activewear's focus on comfort and style.
Urban women embraced miniskirts, bell-bottom jeans, short-sleeved blouses, and colorful dresses, often paired with big hair and bold makeup. Bikinis at beaches and swimsuits were common, reflecting a liberal era. In rural areas, traditional chadors or regional dresses persisted, but overall, fashion symbolized progress, with influences from global pop culture. This era's diversity, captured in vintage photos, evokes nostalgia for a time of personal choice, contrasting with post-revolution mandates.
In 2026, Iran's mandatory dress code for women, established after the 1979 Islamic Revolution, remained in effect under the Islamic Penal Code and the "Hijab and Chastity" law. Women and girls over the age of 9 are legally required to cover their hair with a hijab (headscarf) in public spaces, and their clothing must be modest, covering the arms, legs, and body shape to adhere to Islamic principles. Violations resulted in fines, arrests, flogging, or imprisonment, though enforcement varies by region—stricter in rural areas or during crackdowns, and more relaxed in urban centers like Tehran where defiance is common.
Prayers to Weave the Past into the Present Persian women's fashion, from ancient empires to pre-1979 streets, tells a story of innovation and identity. This legacy reminds us of Persia's unbreakable cultural weave, elegant and inspiring. May they soon be able to remove their head coverings with impunity. ----- Thanks, Piper!

We've seen a bunch of lefty oligarchs come out and say global warming isn't that big of a deal...because they want massive increases in energy infrastructure to build more AI data centers.
But the message has been received. I was watching a Jason Pargin video and he went on a path of arguing that he grew up (in the 80s) with pop culture saying population growth or nuclear war would kill everyone and oh hey that didn't happen - the problems we have now aren't related to either...Just like how in 50 years no one will be worrying about global warming...

Just finished watching a neat little B & W suspenser from 1958, Cry Terror, with James Mason, Rod Steiger, and Inger Stevens, plus Jack Klugman, Angie Dickinson, and Neville Brand. It's an odd little film about what we'd call a terrorist/hostage situation today; Steiger's character is extorting half a million from an airline with the threat of small bombs aboard their planes, bombs created (unknowingly) by Mason. Some of the transitions between scenes, and the setups for others, are kind of peculiar. But it is exciting.

Then Cyrus begat Cambyses
Then Cambyses begat Bardia
Then Bardia was deposed by Darius I
Darius begat Xerxes I
Xerxes I begat Artaxerxes I
Then there were some more Xerxes, and some more Artaxerxes, and a Darius.
Then came Darius III
And that pretty much sums up the Achaemenids

If you look at movies, I mean real life "home" movies or documentary footage, taken in the Fifties and Sixties in America, you'd be amazed. People looked confident and happy. Then JFK died, and MLK and RFK Sr., and we had riots and protests and Weatherman terror, and it all got worse from there.

I know the Obamas and Clintons enriched themselves with this deal which is why Democrats fight so hard to get into office in the first place, but they accelerated the development of Iran's nuclear program and tried to leave the US with our pants completely down.

Worked in an outer office for a Captain while stationed in Germany in the 80s. We had 'spit shine offs'. It was 50% 'how deep can you make it shine' and 50% doing everything possible to ruin the other guys' shine.
He walked in one day and started to yell at me, then had me stand to attention. It was just a ruse to get me up from my desk, and he ground the sole of his boot on the toe of mind. All I could do was eat it. "Go back to work".
2 hours later, I got on my belly, low crawled into his office and under the front of his desk. Took a pocket knife and literally shaved 10 hours of work off the toe of his boot.
I told him: "Go back to work, Sir."

The Israelis supposedly have a sort of LLM that assigns value to various individuals as enemy targets, and balances them against where they are at, or supposed to be and the possible collateral damage in buildings and civilians according to the accuracy of the weapons being used.

Not kidding. If a V-twin engine has chinese parts we call it a V-chin. Example- You used that garbage? You built a V-chin.
Thankfully, it is very rare to see yang poon parts in an engine. If they are there, they won't be for long. The question is how much of the good stuff does it destroy. Chinese parts in an engine work like suicide bombers.

First time I heard it I laughed my ass off. I usually say V-chin, but one shop I worked out of was owned by a friend of mine who had me do his engines if I wasn't at other shops. He was working on a bike on the lift and he was having trouble with something, and I he yells yang poon! I turn around and he's holding the part up and facing me and repeats it..Yang Poon!!. His wife happened to be there, and she comes walking into the shop and he hold the part up to her and says Yang poon!!! It stuck after that. It spread among the shops I worked out of. Now all chinese parts are yang poon. For it is written.

No, he's for voter ID generally, but against some other specific provision in this particular SAVE Act. I don't even know the details, let alone if it's sincere or a dodge. Still, I sometimes entertain the possibility of a "Dave" scenario, where they brought in a body double when Fetterman was hospitalized since recovery was taking too long for some critical vote, then he stroked out and the actor went rogue.
Of course, this hypothesis needs an explanation for how there can be a normie beholden to no one wandering around the Senate, and nobody dares to say anything. The easy explanation is, what if they all use body doubles sometimes? It could start with ditching paparazzi for a beach vacation, then one thing leads to another, and next thing you know they're staying in bed with a hangover when they should be at a boring public appearance with stupid, annoying people.

Reagan, I believe, was essentially almost nieve about the real nature of the domestic Left.
In that he believed America was mostly unified against the Soviet threat he had spent his life against.
He obviously didn't perceive how thoroughly subversive the American Left had become. And that they were the much greater threat.
In the same way I think Trump may looking to empire building as a legacy as he's been thwarted by the courts and the beauracracy at every turn.

I'm no electrical engineer, but I assume you could rig up a transceiver that uses the energy of received ambient EM junk signals to power its transmission, perhaps with more efficient conversion from a specific band, so to find them you would transmit on that band while receiving on the other.

Nicks Cigar World New! A note about sources. The brick & mortar/online divide exists with cigars, as with guns, and most consumer products, with respect to price. As with guns - since both are "persecuted industries", basically - I make a conscious effort to source at least some of my cigars from my local store(s). It's a small thing, but the brick & mortar segment for both guns and tobacco are precious, and worth supporting where you can. And if you're lucky enough to have a good cigar store/lounge available, they're often a good social event with many dangerous people of the sort who own scary gunz, or read smart military blogs like this one. -rhomboid Anyone have others to include?

Good prices compared to my location. Well worth going but you might want to think about reloading soon so save your brass if you can. Once fired brass is the chef's kiss of reloading. Once you reload, you can shoot more, especially if the cartridges that you fire are not 9mm or .223. You save some money on those, just not as much as something like 38 Special, 357 Magnum, 45 ACP, etc.

Learn to reload as well. Save your once fired brass as it is worth something for that.
Reloading means you can keep shooting when the wells of ammo run dry. Particular important if you shoot anything other than 9mm or .223.

Just like golf or fishing. Lots of geegaws, gadgets, etc. peripheral to shooting that people buy, try, and put on a shelf.
For example, anyone that carries pistols has a lot of holsters sitting in a box, drawer, etc. that they bought, tried, and decided to use something else.

Again, lots of reasons to reload if one has the druthers and suitable situation. But even on cost, even for common calibers, still a win.
Of courxe, it doesn't load itself. And my goodfornothing crew is sitting there looking at backorders for 9mm, 30 carbine, and 30-06. Hard to find good help these days.

My point being that the populace had no experience with gun handling as long guns were being talked about as the option.
RMBS very astutely pointed out that military service was mandatory in Iran.
The option seemed more reasonable when talking about sending revolvers
The current thinking in Iran was if the IRGC saw you with a gun they would just shoot everyone

Good price. Around me, I have guntry clubs--initiation fees and memberships starting at 250-300 per year for one person. Or you pay about 20-30 bucks per visit. The high fees are in part to keep the gangbangers out but it hits those that are poor and trying to simply practice enough to save their lives.

Before the Russians and Chinese flooded the Ayatollah's guys with AKs and SKSs, G3s, MP5s, M1911s, Browning High Powers, and M3 Grease Guns were inherited from the Shah's armories.

Where reloading shines for a common cartridge is the perpetual ammo panics that Democrats in office foist on us. Learn via a cheap single stage press and like riding a bike, you can reload to keep shooting when necessary and when ammo is cheap, simply hoard the fired brass for the scarce times and drop your reloading to a case or two to keep your skills fresh.
A good single stage press can later be used to craft some damn good rifle ammo especially for Grandpa's 257 Roberts or similar legacy guns like the 300 Savage.
It can be used to prep and size ammo, etc. And it teaches you ballistics and a bunch of other useful knowledge about ammunition and your firearm.

In cities, you do not shoot at 25 yards and Iran is urbanized nowadays. Liberators were for the dirty work of taking down the Basijis and various other scum that like to roll down streets with autopistols, etc. and shoot up crowds like the cowards they are.
I like firearms and firearms training a lot but in truth, most encounters of this sort are within 7 yards or so and even untrained people can shoot minute of man at that distance if the pistol is designed as a natural pointer.
Liberators or any cheap pistol are assassination and close in weapons for close range where they fulfill the first rule of a gun fight, have a gun. They also give hope and courage and can be used by the very young, the infirm, and the weak to equalize the odds.
Taking out moving targets at a distance takes training, shooting oppressive assholes at close range takes guts and courage to pull the trigger more than skill. That is why the 22 LR is way up there on the death charts, these are often what the poor can afford, use reasonably, and have put paid to a bunch of murderous assholes with bad intent.

A place about 2 miles from me is around $400 a year, but it's 24 hour access, you get your own key, no additional fees, and you can bring a guest. You can shoot pistol or high power rifles. Its a real nice place. I hear they reduce your yearly fees the next time around. I need to check it out and see what it really costs, because everybody i talked to have reduced fees and nobody seems to know the 1st timer price. They think 350-400, but could be less.

With semi automatics, there is a learning curve, mainly malfunction drills.
Single shot rifles, shotties, or handguns have very simple drills, you pull the non firing cartridge out of the chamber and reload.
Single shots are not my preference but they are far from not being practical even now for those that cannot or will not learn to manage a more complicated manual of arms. Logistics for any uprising is going to be critical and thus making every shot count is important. And that incentivizes capturing enemy firearms and ammo asap.

They aren't going against soldiers but irregulars that are street thugs with regime approval. As I said, these thugs like rolling down on motorbikes and shooting people in crowds--they aren't what you call hardened troops anymore (not true after the Iran Iraq wars but those guys aged out).
The IRGC has more power but are also more visible to our drones, etc. wearing uniforms, and displaying more militaristic displays.
The Basiji are their thuggish punishment and informant brigades, not the trained assholes. But far more numerous than the IRGC on the streets so far by at least a factor of 3-4 to one.

Not so weird if you factor in rarity. M1s are/were pretty common because of CMP and because six million plus were made. About a million Liberators were made, but because they were literally thrown out of planes over occupied territory, few of those sent into battle ever came back. Those left over in 1945 were mostly scrapped or destroyed to prevent their use by criminals or hostile powers. Because the Liberator itself was made very cheaply, it wasn't designed to last. IIRC, the gun is only good for about 10-20 shots before the stress on the metal will start cracking the breech. And collectors only wanted them long after production ended. High desirability plus a very limited supply of prime examples equals high prices.

Not much you can do if the cop plans on going goon on you anyway.
I've had a squad of vice cops harass me for a bit in a touristy location and I entertained them as best I could... eventually asked if I was under arrest, they says "no", so I says "bye" and start walking away, they says "But we have your ID". Told them I'll go get another one tomorrow and just tell them some guys saying they were cops took it from me. Oldest 'cop' told his trainee to give back my ID.

That is one of the factors that I figured out reading after action reports for decades from the NRA column and a guy, Clayton Cramer, who started the whole Guns Saves Lives, history prof in Idaho I think. He compiled a vast amount of self defense shootings and it was relatively uncommon for trained people to be shooting in those reports. It was Grandma with her trusty 22 LR revolver, Fred the Butcher with a 32 S&W Long revolver, Sheila who was poor but done with being terrorized by her ex and ventilating him before being beaten, raped again.
Willpower, faith, and courage aka software matters in a fight. Training polishes those attributes but the underlying gumption to do something to stop evil cannot be acquired by training. It has to come from within. Hardware in most cases outside military use doesn't matter as much as the will to pull the trigger and fight.

Seattle cops are so maligned. I can’t imagine the type of person who wants to be a cop in this city. Their job is impossible. So, I guess pleading the fifth and not allowing a search is reasonable, but here, would it be considered passive aggressive?
I just want to be able to defend myself. I have a concealed weapons permit. I train regularly. Police could see I have a membership at a gun club and the staff knows me. Heck, we get checked in before the range opens because they know our cars (me MAE and LazyMessenger).
I keep my Colt pony .380 in the console. Cocked and locked. And I practice with it.

Just be polite but firm. You don't have to resemble the regulator types on YT. Under Terry v Ohio, cops are allowed to briefly detain, require id, and ask you what you are doing. They can and will look you over to see if you are carrying weapons if halfway competent and if so, they can pat you down for weapons using a brief frisk. To do this, they must have reasonable suspicion. If you are carrying weapons, there are additional steps that depend on state law such as requiring showing a permit to do such, they can take the firearm and check serial numbers, etc.
Look up Terry Stop for the latest and if you put your particular state in the search term with Terry Stop, you will get more of an idea about state and federal caselaw applying to stops in public without a warrant.

Hoo boy, that's a loaded question (NPI). Everything on youtube is to be taken with a grain of salt; gun stuff with a block of salt. I guess the first thing I would check is the NRA website under the "Education" tab and see if there is anything there. If not, Youtube producers I would trust include Hickok45 and Paul Harrell. Again, I don't know if either of those have "first steps" vids. After hitting Post on this, I'll go search around and report back before the ONT.

Iran has been sending drones and cruise/ballistic missiles into the entire region; hitting Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain, Qatar, Jordan and Israel.
UAE just happens to be the closest...
That's a lot of countries that are unlikely to be open to the current Iranian government being allowed to remain in power in any form.

It's a bit late for the Ayatollahs to start a recruiting drive in Lebanon or Iraq right now. The risk of eating a JDAM from the USAF or IAF has got to be a real downer on the motivation of any wannabe headbangers.

I am seeing those on X and both the US and Israel have formally stated that the apparatus of oppression are being specifically targeted along with missiles and nuke sites. They are now using relatively dumb JDAM ordnance instead of standoffs which tells me that the air defenses and jamming of GPS is dead in Iran. They are apparently dropping Starlink for the resistance to use for communication so the Resistance may actually have a better picture than the IRGC command on what is happening.

I kept track of the cost of my initial set-up (Lee 4-hole turret, dies for 3 calibers, scale and basic tools), almost all of it used (though much of it like-new). It was "paid off" in about 6 months of reloading (this is 14 years ago).
Still using primers mostly acquired from guys getting out of the hobby, USN guys changing duty station, etc., most of it at half of then-market prices (= 1/3 of today's).
Part of this is a shameful confirmation that I don't shoot enough. But reloading can easily save money, and not *just* on the very $$$ calibers.

I always taught my students to be nice but firm in stating their rights but that they had to protect their own constitutional rights because it is not what cops consider their job. Their job as they see it is to apprehend criminals and where a lot of friction happens is when that job interacts with citizens and their rights who aren't criminals.
I would never consent to a search because you can always challenge a search that you did not consent to but never one that you allowed to happen. You do have to id yourself and cars are a matter where you have to sign the citation that you received, have to present license, registration, insurance when asked, and communicate minimally with the cop. You do not have to consent to your vehicle being searched, doing a field sobriety test (those are notoriously unreliable--look up Tennessee's epidemic of those), or admit anything as to why they should lock u up. You may or may not take a ride, that is dependent on probable cause.

I'm NOT saying "If you haven't done anything wrong, you should talk and consent." Absolutely not. But you should ponder why a police officer might roll up on you thinking ill of you, other than the fact you passed on the left or were going a few mph over the speed limit.
The one time I had the cop pulling that baloney was driving a rental through Georgia. And, like a standard quota cop, he was sitting just past the state line looking for people to pull over. Yeah, those guys you can go "I take the 5th with" - but it's going to add some time to your journey.

You simply do not have to talk much, cops are trained to get people to talk and keep talking. In an average car stop, they are entitled to license, registration, etc. not where you are going, what you are doing, or you to guess why they pulled you over.
Formal invocation of the 5th is when they take you into custody primarily because it sets up a bright line but most people simply cannot shut up, especially criminals. Cops also lie shamelessly so ignore them.
And it is a mistake to assume they have to tell you what they are arresting you for. They don't until booking so keep shut about it. They either have probable cause or not, and if they don't, then the arrest is likely to tossed by the prosecutor anyway. Don't try your case on the side of the road. Cooperate minimally and get back on the road without being an asshole. Those get special treatment so zip it.

Hi Whig,
Both my 45-70 rifles are modern and can handle regular ammo and smokeless powders but I prefer my black powder loads. At one time I had an original Trapdoor and only used BP in the cartridges. BP substitutes should be safe but I haven't used them in cartridges. The Trapdoor is not a very strong action so I wanted to keep pressures low. Sorry I can't help about the Trail Boss in your question. I know it's a low pressure powder but don't know how it compares to BP pressures.

You’re not gonna believe this latest story. Over the past few years mossad undercover agents infiltrated as doctors and dentists in Iran. The Dentists gave priority to. Key military, and elite Iranian personnel. While doing a routine dental check up, they implanted tracking devices as fillings for cavities. On the other side, Gastro doctors implanted similar devices in their elite patients. Yesterday mossad knew exactly where each one of them were ( komayne’s wife and family members included )and sent missiles at them. Over 400 elite military in government personnel were eliminated in the first few moments ( maybe that’s one of the reasons why they knew where he was hiding )when Israel attacked."

Trail Boss is designed for BP replacement so not asking for loads, but simply whether you use the real stuff or not in your cartridge reloading. I would have to use a different powder measure for BP so I have never kept any around the house. Too fussy for me.
Use Triple X or Pyrodex for the few muzzle loaders I have. Neither of those is suitable for loading in brass cartridges for a Trapdoor.

38 Special and 45 ACP are like falling off the log easy to reload. Both like a wide variety of powders, primer seating is usually not a problem as both are low pressure cartridges, both are straight brass, and both like lead bullets which means loads can be very economical.
Wadcutters in a 38 SPC with a mousefart powder load are great for introducing beginners or concentrating on trigger pull without worrying about recoil.

Every sea battle goes through the phases listed below. This has been true for war at sea ever since the Battle of the Coral Sea.
Phase 1: Detect the enemy. The ocean is a vast place. You have to find the enemy before you can shoot at him.
Phase 2: Acquire the target(s): What did I detect? Is it the enemy, a merchant ship, or something else?
Phase 3: Track the enemy: IF I've found the enemy fleet, where is he going? Where should I anticipate him to be in the near-term future?
Phase 4: Destroy the enemy. This is where you start shooting stuff at the enemy to hit what you want to destroy.
My guess is the Iranians never got past Phase 1 or 2 because of US strikes on their sensors (radar) or US jamming on any sensors that survived.

I have a whole series of 38sp loads I have developed for the boss, who likes the Model 60 snub.
And I have "duplication" loads I've worked up for all my self-defense ammo in all calibers. Matches the recoil. Can shoot through a box of duplication loads for very little cost while maintaining familiarity with all my self-defense factory ammo.

One of the new members I gave orientation to is a guy from Scotland. He is so gung ho on being able to own and shoot firearms, especially long range and suppressed. Spoke very disparagingly about the UK attitude toward same.
Lives in CT and will drive 3 hours to shoot at our Long Range. .

I'll never go to another indoor range. The chemicals in the air stay in my respiratory tract all day, and I'm not wearing a mask to go shoot.
Several range masters have come across as alcoholics (even if not intoxicated, they have the look and manner of someone who's drunk too much for too long), and others treat every user like an idiot in need of constant correction.

You want nightmare stuff, Tennessee Highway Patrol is coming under massive scrutiny as they have now racked up in the last couple of years over 600 cases where the driver was charged with DUI and they were totally sober upon blood test results being put in. Apparently Tenn Highway Patrol set up a quota system (denying it) for arrests and so cops are just arresting people, claiming they failed the field sobriety tests, and putting them in jail. Going on all across the state to the point that the TN legislature finally got off its ass and required reports on the fake but true arrests which is where the figures I cited came from.
Lesson is without breathanalyzers (which often are not calibrated correctly in the field) the field sobriety tests have about a 50/50 reliability rate. Blood test is the platinum std. so it is best to take the ride than do the field sobriety tests.
You also see this behavior when governments suddenly need money--they up the fines and arrests simply to make revenue, not for safety reasons.

Years ago at the range a Russian immigrant guy (30ish, said he'd been in the Russian army before emigrating) had a DP-27 light machine gun he'd welded bad together. The iconic Red Army LMG with the pan magazine on top. He was testing loads. Semi-auto, of course. It worked well, as did the magazine.

Watch out for that, several cases where people shooting on public land got ambushed and killed for their guns. Michael Platt and William Matix who killed a bunch of FBI agents and got their arms that way by ambushing some poor sod at a remote gun range.
Now it is gun jugging. From Houston Media.
"The intended victim had just left a local range when he was followed by three men in a vehicle. Upon arriving at his destination, the suspects ambushed him, successfully grabbing a bag containing several firearms. However, the suspects made a critical tactical error: the intended victim was still armed with other firearms. The intended victim drew his firearm and engaged the attackers, striking one suspect in the chin. The wounded suspect is expected to survive, while the two remaining accomplices fled the scene in a getaway vehicle."
Head on a swivel folks and having someone with you as an additional pair of eyes is not a bad idea.

Don't forget about the Chinese. If the Straits of Hormuz are closed by the Iranians, that's over half of China's oil supply that's been cut off. The price increases from this closure alone could topple China into a major recession. A prolonged closure of the straits does NOT serve China's interests. And China doesn't have a navy that can pry the straits open again.

Currently WW231 and HP38 are the same powder. Has been true since Hogdons started selling Winchester powders. Both are made at St. Marks. Some very old loads out there have different loadings but newer manuals reflect the fact that whatever differences used to exist are no more.
You can ask Hodgons if you don't believe me.

I've done the duplication loads as well but using the same jhp bullets as the factory loads. I save my nickeled cases for those as they tend to crack when reloaded more than a couple of times.
Making the old FBI 158 gr +P loads for 38 Special using swaged lead hollow points is also extremely easy. Those hit about like 45 ACP ball ammo. The key is to use the dead soft swaged lead (Remington and Speer sell those or did) bullets as those readily expand at the 890-900 fps mark.

Since I was already shooting black powder with my Hawkin, it was easy enough to switch.

Again, it goes to "Why would a cop be pulling me over?" If it's about your speed or you ignored a no-U-turn sign, then just be polite and you'll be on your way. If you were driving 100 in a 55 zone, you might want to do all those things the lawyer was talking about. If you're drunk, you might want to do what the lawyer was talking about. If you and the boys were smoking some spliff out at the lake and it's not 100% legal where you are, you might want to do like the man says.
Of course, if you're carrying in the last two circumstances, you done screwed up and probably want to shut up and call an attorney. But you also probably don't want the cop to find your gun after you denying you had it on you.

Unique works well too for reduced loads in std. rifles. You see this in old loading books but not so much anymore. The new formulation too is cleaner than the old one was.

From what I understand, Alliant has some of the original Unique (made by the defunct Hercules Powder Company) kept in a swimming pool storage for reference purposes and they check it now and again. Still good apparently.

The issue isn't the weapons themselves. It's the electronic warfare capability of a first class OPFOR, something that has never actually been tested in combat for thirty plus years. Say what you will about the Russians, but their electronic warfare at the front lines has been first rate. Their GPS jamming has successfully reduced the effectiveness of HIMARS, GLSDB, JDAM, and more weapons systems we've sent over to the Ukrainians. And their EW countermeasures significantly reduced Ukrainian drone effectiveness until the Ukrainians adapted to Russian methods.

Equipment is very reasonable and better than what it was as far as ease of use in reloading. Powder is still expensive, primers have dropped. Brass cost depends on what you are reloading. Bullets from fairly cheap for plated/lead to as much as premium bullets can be.

For range talk, the range I go to is $300 a year for membership. A short rifle range out to 500 yards, long range that was just lengthened from 1,250 to 1,500 yards, and 8 pistol pits that I wish they would pave or concrete so it’s easier to find brass.

I use a powder checker die nowadays but double charges of a very fast powder are my worst nightmare in reloading. Zip is about as fast as I will go and I am paranoid about it.

Equipment I still have. Probably got tons of brass too from back then. I was more curious about the powders and primers. I'm seeing power in the $50 range, and primers seem to be all over the map. Holy shit though, .050 bmg primers are over $1 each. Not that i need that, but damn.....

Anything but 9mm and 5.56 is probably still worth reloading. But those two, nah.

Is his gun full size, not compact, etc?. Full Size in 45 ACP is not terrible, long recoil impulse. 40 S&W is sharper, Just ride the 45 push and at the end focus on reacquiring the target. Smaller 45 ACPs have unpleasant recoil and watch out for a flinch development.
If you can find some 45 ACP ammo loaded with 185gr or even 200 gr bullets (will be on the box), or lead bullets coated or not, you will get a easier recoil impetus (if the ammo is not high pressure aka +p on the box).
Bullet weight and the amount of powder used (pressure is a proxy for it--the culprit is gas escaping the bore) make recoil worse as they go up and as they drop make recoil easier in the same gun.

That's about right for powder. Still some shortages and a lot of the powder is imported. Didn't help that Hodgdons bought out Western Powder Company so no other domestic supplier. Thus you get Vihtavuori, Norma, and some other imports instead.
Primers, unless I need something special for something for a load, I pretty much stick with CCI nowadays.

============
I did a box of 9mm last year just to stay in practice. Tons of brass for that cartridge. Have taken though to lightly touching one out of ten cartridges with a hint of imperial sizing wax as it makes sizing a snap without adding a bunch of crud.
Last prep on brass I did was 2022 when I switched over to using steel pins and tumbling instead of walnut shell vibratory. Brass came out spectacular and I did a few rifle rounds using an ultrasonic cleaner. Those came out great as well.

Pretty sure that's what we were seeing back during the twelve-day thing. In coming missiles suddenly glowing very brightly very much short of their target. They certainly weren't getting hit with a missile.
Thanks for the range etiquette video! Much needed these days. I have been swept with a muzzle too many times (at a range WITH an RSO) to even want to go to a public range anymore.

Not much you can do if the cop plans on going goon on you anyway.
I've had a squad of vice cops harass me for a bit in a touristy location and I entertained them as best I could... eventually asked if I was under arrest, they says "no", so I says "bye" and start walking away, they says "But we have your ID". Told them I'll go get another one tomorrow and just tell them some guys saying they were cops took it from me. Oldest 'cop' told his trainee to give back my ID.

Food Thread: Carbon Steel For The Loss!
Beyond Meat and the few other companies that tried to ride the media-demand for fake meat are discovering that the free market is a stone-cold bitch! If you invested $10,000 in Beyond Meat in 2021, today you would have $41 Laboratory-grown "meat" is a misnomer. Meat is the flesh of animals. And in the United States of America, those animals are mostly cattle, pigs, chickens and sheep. Coincidentally, we have a huge industry that has evolved around the market-driven demand for...meat! It is amazingly efficient, and while there are obvious environmental issues, for the most part we manage the waste effectively, while supplying inexpensive and reasonable-quality products to every American. Chicken and pork can be had for less than $2/lb. Beef is suffering a (hopefully) temporary blip in price, but it is still far less expensive than in most other countries. America has a successful market-driven system to provide meat to consumers, and the idea that artificial "meat" will be even modestly successful is a real head-scratcher. And the market agrees!
David Liebovitz is pretty damned irritating, but he knows how to write, and he knows how to bake, so I will cut him a bit of slack. Well, also because sticky buns are one of my few sweet baked goods weaknesses, and in particular the pecan version. Hell, Maple Pecan Sticky Buns even has maple syrup! I have a few pecans left from a gift of some delicious ones, so I think I will use them in this recipe...
This is oddly pleasing, although it veers into weirdness towards the end. Which I guess is why Weasel sent it to me!
RFK Jr. is having a profound effect on American food producers. This is a fascinating and overdue change in the way our foods are made, and while I am not in the hysterical, "Food Dyes Will Kill Us All" camp, I would prefer that my food have as few ingredients as possible, particularly when some of those ingredients are artificial dyes that provide no sustenance. Target's Entire Cereal Assortment Will be Made Without Certified Synthetic Colors I'll bet the left is torn about this one though. They hate anything that isn't natural and holistic and organic and free-range and blah...blah...blah, but it is being driven by RFK Jr and Donald Trump!
This is a profoundly disturbing recipe. French Toast is an abomination when made as a sickly-sweet ersatz dessert, but is quite delicious when made correctly as a savory breakfast dish. Croque Monsieur is an equally delicious dish that is nothing more than a tarted up grilled-cheese sandwich. But blend the two together and you get something alien to all that is good and tasty and fine. What is Alton Brown thinking here? French Toast Croque Monsieur sounds like a horror show! Gruyere, ham, and....syrup?
I didn't feel like cooking tonight, so I made a sandwich for dinner It wasn't so much as a sandwich as much as it was just bread. I guess more just grain. Fermented grain. Distilled, fermented grain. I had whisky for dinner tonight.
Yes, it is old, but it amuses me!
I am a month or so from removing the mulch and insulation around my garlic pot and letting it run free in the wind and the sun! Hopefully it isn't dead and will grow some marvelous heirloom garlic which I will use to great effect in Spaghetti Aglio Olio! In case it doesn't, send all of your excellent home-grown garlic to: cbd dot aoshq at gmail dot com. Rumor has it that the Bourbon Bubble is bursting. I have seen no evidence of decreasing prices, but maybe the bursting started somewhere else! I think the sweet spot is $40-$60 for excellent and interesting bottles, and bumping that to $100 gets you an incremental improvement in quality, but nothing mind-blowing. More than that and I think you are paying for hype and rarity, which may look good in your liquor cabinet, but doesn't translate to more quality in the bottle. The problem...or the solution...is to buy lots of bourbon, take tasting notes, and eventually arrive at your favorites! It should take forty or fifty years, but it is worth it!

So, it's homemade crockpot BBQ pulled pork (brown, not red) sandwiches with remade baked beans, tzatzki cucumber salad, and strawberries/grapes/clementines.
For the baked beans, since I have some of the crockpot jus, I'm going to douse my baked beans can with some of it and an extra Great Northern Beans can. Simple, lower sugar, cheap and savory. Usually when I had the extra bean can, I add bacon in some way to up the savory, so you don't miss missing sweet, but this will work as well. And this is effectively free.
Except for salt, I season my pork after shredding and then let it meld awhile...it lets me decide if I want to split it for two totally different flavor meals (this time, I didn't b/c I'm gonna use any leftovers as cheap lunches this week)...or like now, use the jus for a different meal element...

Well, early one day the sun was shinin′
I was walkin' down the street not feelin′ too fine
I saw two old men with a bottle between 'em
This is the song I heard them singin'
"Lord preserve us and protect us
We′ve been drinkin′ whiskey for breakfast"
Well, I stopped by the steps where they were sittin'
And I couldn′t believe how drunk they were gettin'
I said, "Old men, you′ve been drinkin' long"
They said, "Long enough to start singin′ this song"

Neither have I. But I'm gonna shout out a company that surprised me today - Good Foods. They have the plan of making both vegan and non-vegan foods out of totally real foods. I decided to take a flier on a sale dairy/nut free Nacho Cheeze dip. As I told the spouse, I'll take a flyer on a totally real food - and this is cauliflower, tomato, pumpkin seeds, etc - everything real. Did it taste like nacho cheese - no. Funny enough, it tasted like the nacho cheese flavor, almost like one gets on a Dorito, but then as a creamy salsa. Would I buy it again? On sale - sure. B/c it's nice to have an extra healthy dip in the rotation, especially one I didn't have to make myself. But the Z is true b/c nothing reminds you of cheese in it

My attempts to make cider with champagne yeast has not pleased me, it tends to work fast and make a dry apple cider. I have been more pleased using the yeast found on the apples.
Now, I am not much of a drinker and I like the sweetness of the summer apple juice. If I used an appropriate cider apple I am guessing that would be better
I am not sure that vinegar is too picky since the goal is to turn it all into acetic acid anyways.

Don't let the combo of ingredients put you off as it is very good if you like Mediterranean type food.
I was pleasantly surpised with this one, from a long, long list of bookmarks of recipes to try.
I love recipes to prep and place in fridge overnight to be made the next day, and this is one. Great for family dinners!
I used boneless chicken breats vs other pieces. We all know I can't carve a chicken (my husband learned this from the one time I tried and you could not tell what pieces they were).
It rates a recipe card for us.

Cows are vegan.
No, stay with me.
The cow eats the grass. The clover. The herbs. The wildflowers. The diverse, mineral-rich, organically grown plant matter from the field.
The cow then, and this is where it gets interesting, converts all of that plant material into complete protein, bioavailable heme iron, zinc, B12, fat-soluble vitamins, omega-3 fatty acids, creatine, and carnosine.
Using its four stomachs. Which are considerably better at this than yours.
So technically, the most efficient way to eat a plant-based diet is to let a cow do it first.
The cow is the blender.
The cow is doing the processing you cannot do yourself.
When you eat beef, you are eating a hyperconcentrated, biologically optimised, grass-powered superfood that a vegan has been assembling for you in a field for eighteen months.
You're welcome.

SO, SO, SO much this. I have 3 blue carbon steel pans. Suckered into the platitudes of its superiority blah, blah, blah. I hate them with every fiber of my being. I'm adept as heck at seasoning my cast irons, of which I have several. I know how to season. But the blue carbon steel is SNAFU when it comes to getting the seasoning to "take." They made it all sound so effortless! No, they suck. All they're doing now is taking up space in my cabinets, since they're too expensive to toss out. I'll will them to my kid, who will no doubt toss them into the wood chipper one day where they belong.

Why would you be able to season one and not the other (honest question)? I have a Matfer CS pan and I use it constantly.
Both are iron-carbon alloys (primarily iron with carbon as the main alloying element), but they differ significantly in chemical composition, particularly in carbon content and often in other elements like silicon.
Carbon steel (the type commonly used for cookware, tools, etc.) typically contains less than 2% carbon — most often around 0.5–1.5% (frequently cited as ~1% in cookware contexts). It has very low levels of other elements like silicon (usually
Cast iron contains 2–4% carbon (commonly 2–3.5%), plus higher silicon content (typically 1–3%) and small amounts of other elements like manganese, phosphorus, and sulfur. The higher carbon and silicon promote the formation of graphite flakes or other phases, which is why cast iron is more brittle and has different properties.

Cold-pressed or expeller-pressed oil is probably fine for eating, and it has a particularly high smoke point, so it doesn't break down at high heat.

Ruminants actually have a four-compartment stomach... they're not truly separate organs. The first compartment is the reticulum, which has sort of a honeycomb pattern on the insode- this is most often used in menudo. The next compartment is the rumen- basically a 50 gallon fermentation tank in which bacteria break down fibrous plant material into compounds that can be converted into amino acids. The omasum is the next compartment that mainly functions to reabsorb water from the ingesta, before it passes into the abomasum, which is most similar to a human stomach.

A fully loaded veg/meat bolognese doesn't need a lot of pasta...the pasta will complement the thick goodness...try rotini is something thick like that and you'll get the pasta you love with the other stuff you'd want anyway...stay away from the stringy pasta (like spaghetti) b/c it seems less satisfying that way, unless you are comboing with a zoodle, which again, isn't as nice (although probably nicer than carb free noodle).
Same idea will work with a mac and cheese - lots of cheese, dairy, cheese loving veg, and ham or bacon...lots in where you have enough "bites" you aren't missing as many pasta bites...

My real problem with it is I wanted a lighter frying pan for showing my kid techniques and it is not significantly lighter. It's still too heavy for her to move around easily. There's a height issue, she's a bit of a shorty in her teens, and at 5lbs the pan is hard for her to move from burner to oven. I think a cast iron pan would be 5-10lbs. While modern non-stick weigh 2-3lbs.

If it's a carb issue, I'd stick with my suggestion (3/4-1/4 or even less)...if it's an allergy/intolerance issue, I hear potatoes and beans carry sauces, even Italian ones well...

Fried and then oven baked to complete the cooking?
Or Polynesian. Skillet browned and then braised with onions, carrots, bell pepper, garlic in chicken stock with, of course, curry powder and sugar. Then at the end, remove the chicken, etc., reduce the sauce and add crushed pineapple.
My mom used to make a Polynesian chicken. It is a happy memory. But, she didn't use enough curry to make it spicy.
I perfected the recipe several years ago. I don't have curry as often as I used to, but this is the best use of it.

She gave it to me because she loved my husband, and I am not blond (like his mother, who she could have cheerfully murdered).
I always brought it to family Christmas eve, for a dish from my FIL's side, since my MIL's traditional foods dominated.
My husband was very territorial about that cake, because Aunt Babe only ever gave it to me, and my daughter (named after Babe--my husband loved her too!) is also proprietary--it is to be HERS (original recipe card tucked into a letter from Aunt B.)
One Christmas, my niece's new husband was eating a piece, and came over to me and said, with his mouth full, not looking me in the eye (a stretch for him, granted, even though I'm not tall) and said "You HAVE to give this to Amanda!"
All I could think was "I just gave it to everybody, you durn pipsqueak."
I love Mandy, but she's not getting that recipe just to feed to him.
My daughter can share it if she wants.

I made a giant mess in my small kitchen, but everybody (including my Anglophile relatives) loved it.
I had sticky toffee pudding on a few occasions on my one trip to England. The best was at Cadgwith Cove Inn (entree was lobster). We had an absolutely glorious hike of ~10 miles on the Coastal Path that day. Even though I got stuck in ankle deep mud then stung by nettles. Stopped about halfway at Kennack Sands for a pasty - so delicious. Once we got to Cadgwith I waded in the cove to clean my nasty feet and pick up interesting rocks. After dinner entertainment was local fishermen singing sea shanties. It was the best day.

After hiking 10 miles, anything would have tasted good. But that was special.
I wasn't crazy about the highly touted fish 'n chips I had in Coverack. Also didn't care much for mushy peas. Everything else was fantastic.
Brits have lots of foods that sound disgusting but are actually quite lovely. E.g., clotted cream, digestive biscuits. I have no knowledge of spotted dick, though.

My mom used to make that, in old steel cans she saved. Not sure what happened to her recipe as I never found it, even in her enormous recipe file.
Steamed, I believe. And tasty.

Got dandelions invading your garden? Pluck off the small, (non-furry) leaves and put them in your salad, or, make a bed of them and lay out a recently grilled mahi-mahi steak on top of it. A revelation...

I add water to the skillet, bring it to a boil, and after a few minutes, I rinse it out with very hot water. I swirl a wet paper towel (using a pair of tongs) around the skillet. I return it to the cooling burner and drop a heaping tablespoon of beef tallow in the skillet and brush it around.

No explanation has been forthcoming; I suspect it's a combination of old ranchers retiring or passing away without replacement, farmland close to urban areas being sucked into the suburbs, and government overregulation. Of these, only the last is really fixable in any reasonable timeframe, and yet it somehow manages to be the hardest!

Also in the old Pyrex you can tell where it was made from the color. It can be clear or have a yellow or blue cast depending on whether it was made in New York or France or England.
Posted by: Wenda at March 01, 2026 06:24 PM (JUZZb)
They changed the materials used for the glass stuff.
Bought a new 9x13 pyrex a few years ago and the warning were lengthy.
One point brought up by Reddit users on the r/Cooking thread is that the new brand of Pyrex is less durable than it used to be. Modern versions of the iconic glass dish are now made with soda-lime glass, which is less durable and resistant to thermal expansion than the original borosilicate glass.

2-1/2 Cup of flour, 1/3 cup of shortening, and 1/2 tsp of baking powder; mix together thoroughly, then slowly add in 1 cup of hot water while you knead or beat it in the mixer.
Then you cut it into 8 lumps, let the soft, bland dough sit for 30 minutes to relax the gluten and then roll out and cook each on on a hot hot skillet until they get puffy and get brown spots
it takes a bit of expertise to make them round, instead of shaped like Texas, but apparently it can be done.

The cast iron comes from the factory very smooth and I haven't been able to keep the seasoning from flaking off.
BUT I tried something a couple months ago and so far the seasoning has been solid.
1) Washed it thoroughly
2) Filled it with 50/50 water and white vinegar and boiled it for 30 minutes.
3) Repeated the process a couple of times cleaning thoroughly between each. It stripped off the old seasoning and etched the cast iron. This is a messy process, but the seasoning can adhere to the pan.
4) Once done, I seasoned the pan 3 times with Crisco. Preheat to 200F for 20 mins. Apply Crisco, wipe off excess until very thin coat. Heat in oven upside down at 500F for an hour, turn off oven and let cool. Lather, rinse and repeat.
Now the seasoning is excellent and has stayed that way longer than any other way I tried. I've tried Avocado oil and grapeseed oil but they suck compared to Crisco.

I keep all glass jars that fit standard mason jar screw-tops. Jams, honey, various Amish preserves. I have a cupboard in the garage for them. It’s getting full, so eventually I’ll have to start choosing the best (the honey I get, the roadside vendor has a box for returning the jars, which I’ve started using now that I have an ample supply).
I even have four mason jars with handles, which are perfect for making breakfast drinks, such as an egg, milk, and bourbon. My Oster blender is designed to fit that size mason jar.

Had a co-worker who told me not only is it weird that I do that but also weird that I do not use the same stanley cup whatever as everyone else. Pointing out that canning jar lids keep shi off the parts of the jar/cup you put your lips on was not pursausive, but everyone else uses these...

Put some colorful marbles in it and it becomes a decoration. (Yeah try palming that one off on your better half.) But it's better than keeping it in service, dribbling down your shirt or a cutting a lip.

I have two glass wine flasks that my grandfather reportedly purchased around 1912 during a street festival in Newark, NJ. They were filled with dago red, and sold for a nickel.
My father would fill them with a funnel and drink from them into the 1980's. The long, narrow neck would aerate the wine as you filled, and drained, the flask. From my research, your theory holds. It holds real good...

I bought what I hoped was going to be my last set of dinnerware. I meant to get some more place settings but stopped short of what I wanted thinking I could add more later. This was the absolute most classic pattern from Wedgwood ("Wedgwood White") and I figured it would always be available. Plus, I wanted to see if bone china was going to suit our usage practices before I committed to more place settings.
Well, it turns out the reason I got such a good price on them was because they were getting ready to discontinue the pattern after 100 years. So now completing the set through Replacements.com is out of my budget. I did add some pieces by an eBay purchase, but it turned out the items were factory rejects, which the seller neglected to mention. Bah!

There's a whole field of study (or snobbery, depending on your tolerance for such) that holds the shape of a glass determines how one perceives the taste of its contents. Beer certainly tastes better served in a glass versus drinking it from the bottle. White wine and champagne taste better from a narrow flute, versus a goblet.
You can probably drink grappa from a woman's slipper, as it already tastes like it was filtered through an old gym sock...

I made it once, with grape juice, from a high school community cookbook of all places. In its defense, the recipe worked to create an alcoholic drink. It was not very good.
I have considered using the same method to make Finnish lemon mead. The mead is great, but if I seal it too well it goes everywhere when I open it, and if I don’t seal it well enough it’s not as carbonated as I’d like.

I can report, at least for me, that the "old school" potato chips made only with salt, potatoes and fried in beef tallow are a decidedly underwhelming gustatory experience, primarily because too many of them tended to be on the overcooked side.

That will do it, I have started batches like that when I was making it with bottled apple juice.
Another way, if you are starting a batch during apple season, is to just chunk up fresh apples, fill the jar about 1/3 or 1/2 full of the chunks, and fill the rest with water. Ideally use deionized or distilled water, but I have used tap water, and then cut up another apple to drop in a day later when the chlorine has either gassed off or reacted against the first batch of apple. The yeasts on the apple skin are enough to start alcohol fermentation, and the acetic acid yeasts are there as well, ready to start turning the alcohol into vinegar.
When you use apple chunks you have to stir the jar once a day to keep the floaters from molding. You can stop when all the chunks sink to the bottom. It is ready when the vinegar is sharp enough for you.

After 47 Years Of Asymmetric War, We Finally Have A President Who Understands
The Islamic Republic Of Iran was founded after a revolution overthrew its monarch. That revolution was aided and abetted by a cabal of western countries, including France and America (thank you Jimmy Carter!), and various leftist political groups that found Iran's embrace of the West and Israel to be unacceptable.
Soon after the Shah left Iran and his replacement failed to consolidate power, the Mullahs rushed in. They had been fomenting revolution for years, and the most fanatical of them, Ayatollah Khomeini, seized power and promptly imprisoned or murdered his political opponents, in particular the starry-eyed leftists who saw Iran becoming some sort of progressive Nirvana. They were wrong, and instead Iran became the epicenter of Islamic terror, with its tentacles spread across the world. They also created proxies within other countries to facilitate their expansionist goals in the region. Much of the Islamic terror that spread through the West could be traced to active or tacit support from Iran and its theocratic dictators. They also created a comprehensive surveillance state within Iran, and ferociously enforced their version of Shia Islam. Other religions withered, women were cast back into the 7th century, murder, torture, and rape became a tool of the government, and it was all supported by the insatiable thirst for Iranian oil, coupled with the typical leftist support of anything that degrades traditional Western culture. Iran's targets were Israel first and foremost, and America. Little Satan and Big Satan, and they didn't pretend anything different. For 46 years the goal of the dictators of Iran was the destruction of Israel, the destruction of America, and a global conflagration that would usher in the end times that would return their 12th Imam, a tenet of Shia Islam. It was war against Israel, America, and the West, but the flaccid thinkers and accommodationists who passed for western political elites wouldn't, or couldn't understand that there was no accommodation to be made with a theocratic dictatorship whose goals were clear. So they mostly ignored the war, accepted the casualties, and hoped that kicking the can down the road would eventually moderate the savagery of the Iranian government. They too were wrong, and Israel's behind-the-scenes work to degrade the Iranian nuclear program was the only thing that kept the West from a third World War, this time with nuclear weapons. That is, until the election of Donald Trump! Trump's courageous decision to face Tehran head-onThe strongest argument that President Donald Trump’s political opponents can muster to decry his decision to order American forces to join with Israel to act against Iran is that he is launching a “war of choice,” rather than seeking to avert an imminent threat to American interests or security. Even his sternest critics, such as the editorial page of The New York Times, acknowledged that the government of Iran is not merely a brutal oppressor and a constant threat to the rest of the Middle East as well as to the West, but also combines a “murderous ideology with nuclear ambitions.” Every U.S. president for the last quarter-century has asserted that America will never let Iran get a nuclear weapon and was prepared to use force to prevent that from happening. But only Trump seems to have fully grasped the stark nature of the threat that Tehran poses to the United States—and the world.
The goal...perhaps the only goal...of the Iranian theocracy was the production of nuclear weapons to be used against Israel, America, and probably Europe. Any other interpretation of their actions is arrant nonsense or willful ignorance. The Iranian dictators were excellent practitioners of the Muslim penchant for lying and misdirection, or "taqiyya." And the world was content to be fooled! But not President Donald Trump. In fact, his own brand of American taqiyya seemed to work rather well on Iran, whose leadership was surprised by the attacks of February 28th. The Iranians assumed that their own obfuscation would buy them time, and that their own attacks on American installations, Israel, and a few other Arab nations in the region would be on their timetable. Whoops! Israel's decapitation of the leadership, combined with a massive degradation of Iran's military infrastructure that only America could achieve, has created the opportunity for another revolution in Iran...one that will hopefully usher in a government that will consider the welfare of the Iranian people to be paramount. If the American and Israeli attacks continue, and if the dictatorship's power base is damaged enough be attacked from within Iran by whatever coalition is being cobbled together, and if that coalition can create a functioning government, and if its neighbors do not begin to meddle, then the Iranian people have a chance to become what they once were, a vibrant, energetic, successful culture! There are a lot of "ifs" in that paragraph, and there are no guarantees, even with the staunch support of America and its clear-eyed president! But it is difficult to imagine an outcome that is any worse than the current state of affairs. But the established world order has come to an end. Iran will not be the dominant player in the Middle East, and will find it increasingly difficult to continue its evil ways around the world, even if by some malign turn of events the theocracy survives. And...hopefully...President Trump is parsimonious with American treasure, and does not commit to a rebuilding of Iran at the expense of the American taxpayer. It is the Iranian people who should do the work!

But now the tempo can be sustained for days, even weeks if necessary. The leadership is decapitated, air defenses are down. Next priority is eliminating all missile launch sites in the country, and all naval assets which can threaten Hormuz. They are widely dispersed, and this will take some time.
Third priority is to methodically eliminate every military base inside Iran, of which there are dozens. With all of those goals accomplished, Iran may be ready for a new government.

Only two real contenders; Erdogan and MBS. Erdogan has the military might and the will, but he’s a Turk, not an Arab, and the Arabs haven’t forgotten what it was like the last time they were ruled by Turks.
That leaves MBS, mainly because he controls Mecca. Since he’s friendly with Trump, we could do a lot worse than him.

I doubt the Trump administration went after the Iranian leadership without a plan for what comes next and just like Venezuela, Iran has plenty of money to rebuild itself. The Powell Doctrine is over.

If we (and Israel) have assets in the sky over Iran 24/7, I'd guess any rockets launched would quickly receive a response on the launcher. One place they said Iran had like 100 launchers left ... or some such thing.
One tanker was apparently burning in the strait from Iran fire ... surprised we have not taken out their whole Navy is they start lighting up tankers.

One of the reasons just about more than anybody else I wanted to see that Imadickinajar asshole get smoked. He was one of those "students" who took our people hostage in '79. Yeah, it was started by iran, and ended by trump. Iran should have been a smoldering atomic hellscape in '80 as far as I'm concerned, but nobody had the balls to do it.

I don't think mastery is workable. If everything comes off more-or-less well, Israel will certainly be first among equals for some time to come. They'll be able to tip the scales, but not command events as a regional hegemon.
Eventually some Sunni country will come to the fore as the big dog among the Arabs, and challenge that. My guess is Saudi - but Egypt is no joke, either.

CENTCOM Update
TAMPA, Fla. – As of 9:30 am ET, March 1, three U.S. service members have been killed in action and five are seriously wounded as part of Operation Epic Fury.
Several others sustained minor shrapnel injuries and concussions — and are in the process of being returned to duty. Major combat operations continue and our response effort is ongoing.
The situation is fluid, so out of respect for the families, we will withhold additional information, including the identities of our fallen warriors, until 24 hours after next of kin have been notified.

Think about the chain of events, though, and remember these people were in a much darker media blackout than even we were.
We had many weeks since they first hit the streets late last year.
In that time, they had a mass uprising, fueled by Pahlavi's and President Trump's rhetoric, and subsequently and quite gruesomely crushed by the IRGC and Basiji. And more rhetoric from Trump - but nothing compelling enough to go out in the street and get beaten to death by a subliterate monkey man over.
These people probably had very little knowledge of or confidence in the carrier group in the Arabian Sea, or the other one steaming toward them. Just words, and dead bodies.
It'll probably take a minute for them to absorb the new reality and have the nerve to go out and start raiding the mosques for regime holdouts.

What 'Threat', you ask? Well, how about this. 18,000 fighters. I will repeat that number.
18,000 known or suspected terrorists are here, now, in America. That's the current estimate from Director Joe Kent of the National Counter-Terrorism Center, who just testified to that effect recently before Congress. They infiltrated across our open borders during the last four years of the Biden Admin.
Most of these combat-experienced fighters are from the Middle East, Africa, and Indonesia, war-torn countries such as Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Mali, and Somalia. We are looking at not just shooters, but suicide bombers and "Fedayeen" (they fight to the death-never surrender). Many are Al Qaeda trained terrorists from Afghan training camps.

BREAKING: Austin, Texas shooter, identified as Ndiaga Diagne, a naturalized U.S. citizen born in Senegal.
He was wearing a sweatshirt that said “Property of Allah”, an undershirt referring to Iran and had a Quran in his car.

AUSTIN JIHAD SHOOTER REPORTEDLY LIVED IN PFLUGERVILLE, TX – THE SHARIA BEACHHEAD I’VE BEEN EXPOSING FOR YEARS!
Reporter Karol Markowicz just dropped: The suspect in this morning’s mass shooting - Ndiaga Diagne, Senegalese-born "American citizen" - reportedly resided in Pflugerville, TX.
3 dead, 14 wounded at Buford’s Backyard Beer Garden. Quran in his car. Islam-motivated probe underway. Possible Iran retaliation ties.
This is NO coincidence. Pflugerville is the EXACT suburb I’ve been sounding the alarm on...
My exposés: Islamic Center of Pflugerville (Mohammadi Masjid) expanding aggressively - Pakistani-trained imam, $1.34M in shady funds, isolated Sharia enclave, full-time Islamic school, segregated spaces, and sermons DEMANDING halal certification as Sharia economic jihad!
Direct quotes from their own pulpit: “Promote halal in America!” “Expand Sharia boards!” “Demand it!”

Jack was a real journalist whose day job was at the Baltimore Sun with a partner. In an interview about his time on the McLaughlin group after it was cancelled, Germond basically said he did it for the money. It paid for his kids to go to college. He didn't care for his copanelists much at all.

CENTCOM Update
TAMPA, Fla. – As of 9:30 am ET, March 1, three U.S. service members have been killed in action and five are seriously wounded as part of Operation Epic Fury.
Several others sustained minor shrapnel injuries and concussions — and are in the process of being returned to duty. Major combat operations continue and our response effort is ongoing.
The situation is fluid, so out of respect for the families, we will withhold additional information, including the identities of our fallen warriors, until 24 hours after next of kin have been notified.

BREAKING: 🇮🇱🇮🇷 Israeli Defense Minister Katz says the Israeli Air Force is now striking Tehran using “stand-in” munitions, bombs dropped directly over targets rather than launched from a distance.
“For the first time in Operation Roaring Lion, air force aircraft are operating over the skies of Tehran,” Katz said, targeting regime and repression sites.
Israeli strikes had previously relied on stand off weapons. The shift follows claims of air superiority and having “opened the way to Tehran.”
Katz says continuous powerful strikes will now follow.

The bravest (and probably not the wisest) were killed, the rest of the Iranians are soberly waiting for a lot of the Basiji and IRGC assets to be neutralized. However, in the disorder, it makes it easier for quiet reprisals to these murderous assholes in the dark and will probably extend to their families.

Very bad direct hit on home today in Beit Shemesh.
The boom I heard 3-4 minutes ago sounded like the one that caused all the casualties earlier at noon.
Lots more multiple explosions just now, more distant.

Very much so. It means openly operating over the skies in Iran 24/7 and each time a missile launcher pops up for Iran, it and its crew get splattered. They have more missiles than their launchers and crews so no launcher, the missiles themselves are useless.
It also allows id of those hidden missile magazine bunkers where the B-2 Spirit bombers are locating and methodically destroying.
Iran is not going to have a missile force going forward.

You’re not gonna believe this latest story. Over the past few years mossad undercover agents infiltrated as doctors and dentists in Iran. The Dentists gave priority to. Key military, and elite Iranian personnel. While doing a routine dental check up, they implanted tracking devices as fillings for cavities. On the other side, Gastro doctors implanted similar devices in their elite patients. Yesterday mossad knew exactly where each one of them were ( komayne’s wife and family members included )and sent missiles at them. Over 400 elite military in government personnel were eliminated in the first few moments ( maybe that’s one of the reasons why they knew where he was hiding )when Israel attacked."

Translated from Hebrew
Dozens of Air Force fighter jets completed another wave of strikes in the skies over Tehran, during which the General Headquarters of the Internal Security Forces was attacked—a facility that served as a command and control center responsible for linking the command echelon with the Iranian terror regime's forces in the field, and which also led the brutal suppression against the Iranian people.
In addition, the "Tharallah" headquarters was destroyed, which had served as the command for defending Tehran against military threats.

connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having
