I remember seeing news footage while it was burning. French citizens were standing there, watching it burn, with tears in their eyes. I wondered if that might be a spark (no pun intended) to get people to put the phones down and think about what was really valuable. It may have, but we won't know for awhile.

I've been playing a lot of Roadcraft lately which is a Mud Runner game in which you use heavy equipment to build roads and otherwise help recovery from natural disasters. I guess such construction is cool now. Take Diggerland for example.

It is more beautiful than ever, because the reconstruction also included cleaning and refurbishing of the entire cathedral, even the parts that weren't damaged or covered in soot and ash from the fire.

One of my bucket items reads see the great cathedrals. Not because they are religious buildings but because they embody in physical form something greater than any individual which in a circular argument arrangement gets at the heart why these have could only be monuments to a Supreme Creator. When Notre Dame caught fire even I who have never been there felt a profound sense of loss; such is the power of sacred places be they natural or made by man's hand. That it was restored using its timeless techniques preserved its soul.

West meant 250,000 people, which is at the high end of the estimates of the number of dead. More easily, and correctly, expressed as a quarter million. This number should not be confused with the immediate dead which is estimated at about 70,000, but rather includes lingering deaths from radiation poisoning, burns, injuries, etc. However you do the accounting, it was a horrible destruction, from which both cities have rebuilt. Modern fusion bombs would potentially be many times worse.

>>> Norte Dame in Paris is beautiful as I have seen multiple times (although not since the restoration). But the Rose Window at Chartres has anything at Norte Dame beat!
When I took art history, my professor taught us (and it was on the test) that the three most important cathedrals in France, architecturally, could be remembered by "ARC": Amiens Reims Chartres Notre Dame is gorgeous, and easy for tourists to see because it's in the heart of Paris. But those three were more important and impressive architecturally. Honestly, in the days after Notre Dame burned, I kept waiting anxiously to hear if one of those three cathedrals had also been set aflame. Posted by: LizLem at June 24, 2025 12:03 PM (gWBY1) 226

I agree that using the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki saved millions of lives, both American and Japanese. Before the bombings the Japanese military planned to arm families with sharpened bamboo spears and have them fight the landing marines and soldiers. Can you picture it? Twenty children, armed with bamboo spears, against one GI with a BAR? I can easily see twenty dead Japanese children and one gutted GI. The GI would have his place taken by the next guy and more children would close with him. Eventually we have millions dead or wounded on our side and tens of millions of dead on theirs. There wouldn’t have been enough Japanese left to be Japanese. Japan would still exist geographically, but not culturally. In sum, the atomic bomb saved Japan!

I've been to Notre Dame de Paris twice, in the five trips we've made to France. A magnificient cathedral, and simply seeing the architecture left me amazed. Craftmanship not seen today. Not busy either time. Beautiful and holy ground...and I am a conservative PCA Presbyterian of Huguenot stock. I lit candles to two Catholic in-laws I loved.
Westminster Abbey has the same serene feeling of history, and I think I have been there four times as there is always something more to see. Simply to see the authors of English literature buried there had my mind reeling...my first trip was an English lit college tour. During the fire of Notre Dame a lone moose limb was photographed on the roof, never to be discussed again. I am thankful that Macron's (I think?) idea of a new, modern, cathedral was squashed down like the bug he is. We rebuild Christian cathedrals as Christians.

François-Henri Pinault (married to Salma Hayek) is the chairman/CEO of Kering, a multinational luxury group. They own Gucci, Yves Saint Laurent, Balenciaga, Alexander McQueen, etc. He is also the chairman of Groupe Artémis.
After the fire ravaged Notre-Dame, his family pledged 100 million euros to reconstruction efforts. Their donations were a huge private chunk of the restoration financing. He and Salma Hayek attended the reopening. (He's not perfect; he was dating Linda Evangelista around the time he dated Salma and got Linda pregnant. He asked her to abort and she refused, bless her. They had a nasty child support battle. But her son graduated high school not that long ago, and Salma as stepmom shot vid of the two of them together hugging.)

They know where men’s eyes go.
Posted by: Tom Servo at June 24, 2025 09:48 AM (HEGiN) Ugh. I'm the worst at this. My eyes just go center mass when i'm talking to anyone, especially if i'm actually thinking about what i'm saying or what they're saying. I just zonk out and look vaguely at mid-torso and go slightly cross-eyed. Old, young, male, female, doesn't matter. The eyes just shut down and go into neutral. You could probably throw a baseball at my face and I wouldn't flinch. It's one of the reasons I generally don't merely avoid eye-contact (because eye-contact is physically painful), I just avoid any visual contact at all. Pick two or three spots on the wall behind them, pretend you got something in your eye, keep looking at whatever you were looking at before you got interrupted. Whatever it takes. Just don't look at anybody. Life is hard. Posted by: Warai-otoko at June 24, 2025 09:52 AM (BjH5D) 127

Well, she's a naked female with a nice figure. The pose is relaxed and the skin tones are pleasantly shown. But there is no emotion or context for the viewer to latch onto. It doesn't invite speculation about the woman or her circumstances. At least not for me. It comes across like a candid snapshot taken for no particular reason. If here eyes were open it could have changed the tenor of the painting.

If I have any quibble with Trump, it's for the underlying sentiment.
Israel knows exactly what they're fucking doing. They're done suffering black eyes while wearing Uncle Sam's straitjacket for the sake of some mythical Peace that doesn't exist. Iran knows exactly what they're doing, too. They're being insufferable garbage, murdering Jews for sport, and dutifully waiting for the petticoats of the Globohomo World Community to ensconce them in its comforting drape.

Just watched this neat clip on the 3rd booster stage of the Apollo 12 mission.
It was supposed to go into a stable orbit just outside the Moon. But, faulty telemetry data and they were off by 40kmh. So, it's in this weird, irregular elliptical orbit around the Earth, that eventually passes the Lagrange point. Where it orbits the Sun for a few decades. And we lost track/forgot about it. But, then it passes back to the other side of the Lagrange and goes into that elliptical orbit around the Earth. And no one knew what it was. But confirmed what it was by spectrometry "that's our paint." It's now back in the Sun orbit and will return to the Earth orbit in the 2040s.

Gen X was the first to desire substance over form. Form is a big, big thing for Boomers and Silents. They want their banker in a suit. So Bernie Madoff wore suits.
Get the point ? Anybody can buy a suit, or be polite for short stretches. Hell, Tom Daschle was polite. And crooked as a dogs leg. But well dressed and groomed. Certain generations eat that up. In a sense, you have a point. We choose form when we don't have enough information to select on substance. Thus, I don't trust my money to someone who can't be bothered to dress like an adult. It brings his seriousness, his substance if you will, into question. Is this method infallible? Of course not. But if someone shows up with face tattoos, I'm certainly going to question his judgement, and therefore, not entrust him with anything I value.

We can chew gum and determine substance at the same time fucktard. ( did I do that right?)
Meh. The "fucktard" was forced. It didn't flow. Now, "and determine fucking substance" would have been perfect. Genuine. Authentic. What I said was true. And you know it to be true, hence the reaction. Form was, and still is but to less of a degree, a big big thing. Do you REALLY care if your banker wears a three piece suit ? I don't ... I want to see the numbers. I want to know if my deposits are at least secure - and preferably in accounts keeping up with inflation. But most people do not. And, again, its generational. They instinctively trust a man in a three piece suit with a fresh hair cut. I instinctively mistrust that man. He's showing me an image for a reason.

>>They are all grifters and cold hearted, learning at the knee of their father. Biden has been a vicious POS from jump, and any man that would trade on the death of his wife and children is an immoral scumbag. Posted by: Thomas Bender at June 24, 2025 11:47 AM (XV/Pl) The Morning Report — 6/ 24 /25![]() The Iranian regime approached the ceasefire on Tuesday morning local time by firing at least four (update: six) waves of missiles at Israel, with an impact on an apartment building that killed at least three civilians in Be’er Sheva. U.S. President Donald Trump had announced a ceasefire the day before, and called for “LOVE, PEACE, AND PROSPERITY” in the region. The Iranian regime apparently had other ideas for leaving a lasting impression, and fired nearly continuously, in wave after wave, for over an hour and a half before the ceasefire was set.God bless and keep you President Trump. But if you think you've achieved anything with this so-called ceasefire, you're delusional or you are being very badly advised. "Love, Peace and Prosperity?" jeez, even John Lennon is spinning in his grave with that howler! The world has yet to experience any prolonged/sustained period of that even between nations and ethnic/tribal groups that share even some commonality, let alone in the 1500 or so years since Islam first infected humanity. In my view, as the Eagles might sing it "It's another Taqqiya sunrise . . . " And for those who do not know what that word means, including perhaps you Mr. President, here you go: The invaluable religionofpeace (dot-com) lists a number of verses from the koran and hadith that go into great detail about this, but here's the abstract. Muslim scholars teach that Muslims should generally be truthful to each other... unless the purpose of lying is to "smooth over differences" or "gain the upper-hand over an enemy." There are several forms of lying to non-believers that are permitted under certain circumstances, the best known being taqiyya (the Shia name). These circumstances are typically those that advance the cause of Islam - in some cases by gaining the trust of non-believers in order to draw out their vulnerability and defeat them.As I've been saying and writing since the Gaza invasion/pogrom of 10/7 and then the Israeli and now US attacks on the Iranian head of the snake, it's the Islam stupid! It will not rest until it has conquered the world and everyone has submitted or is dead. In the wake of 9/11 when Dubya declared we're not at war with Islam, I knew we were in trouble. Well, we may not be at war with Islam but for those with their head up their ass, Islam has been at war with us since the Seventh Century. And be sure to leave a little neck showing out of your perineum to make the lopping off of your head easier for Hassan and his rusty scimitar. And as if to illustrate the point Dr. Yasir Qadhi, a radical Imam, told his fellow Muslims to side with Iran over the U.S. and Israel during a lengthy sermon on Saturday at the East Plano Islamic Center (EPIC) in Texas.Yasir that's our baby, I don't mean maybe. And he's right here in Texas. Let alone every other mosque in America and all over the world. If you feel like vomiting, click the link and you'll see everything he says is an absolute prevaricated lie and blood libel. On a happier note, I see that the Israeli Air Force quite literally blew the doors off of the notorious Evin Prison. “Security footage shows one missile strike blasting open the doors of Evin Prison, where the Islamic Republic held its opponents and critics in brutal conditions, with public hangings,” . . . “In 1988, thousands of Evin prisoners were executed after cursory trials, according to Human Rights Watch. Many of those killed were viewed as a threat to the new Islamic government,” The New York Times reported. . .Noted Iranian dissident Masih Alinejad stated on X, “The Islamic Republic’s notorious prison, Evin was bombed by Israel. The regime responded by surrounding the prison with security forces to make sure none of the political prisoners could escape. This is the reality in Iran. At a time of war, political prisoners must be released not held hostage. If you want to act, aim your pressure at the Islamic Republic to release them now.” . . . “I really don’t know what will happen next,” Mesdaghi wondered. “If Khamenei survives this attack, I fear the regime will retaliate by executing more political prisoners. That’s why the world has to care — has to stand with the Iranian people, especially those being held hostage by this regime.”For the sake of Israel, the civilized world and the long-suffering Iranian people, I hope that blowing Evin's doors off is both symbolic and a harbinger of liberation for all of us, from evil and tyranny wherever it may be.

God bless and keep you President Trump. But if you think you've achieved anything with this so-called ceasefire, you're delusional or you are being very badly advised.
The Pro-Iran forces found a narrative that doesn't put them on the 20 side of the 80/20. There is a continuum from Ignore Iran to Turn Iran Into Glass. Along this spectrum are the Leftists and Libertarians (who found unity here) who are completely irrational and would rather criticize any action rather than put forth arguments of their own. Trump hasn't quite figured out how to marginalize the America-Haters outside of the 80/20 tactic. I'm of the camp that no one is going to nuke anybody, ever, no matter who has The Bomb or All of the Bombs. In fact, it keeps on being the US that does all the thing the MIC fear others will do: drop atomic weapons on another nation, drop bunker busters, clusters, MOABs, etc. The only hypocritical thing we haven't done yet is nail some other country with tactical nukes.

DISASTROUS. This means they will send people to horrific situations with no due process — in direct violation of promises the Solicitor General made to the Court in previous cases. This greenlights sending people to be enslaved in Libya or tortured in any random foreign country.

But that seems to be treated like a "hiccup", with the deal supposedly still on. Maybe it was some rogue actors trying to keep the party going.

By his own statement, and admittedly i don't really have any other source and I'm not sure who does, the deal was that the ceasefire starts when Iran stops firing, at which point Israel has twelve hours until they have to cease firing in return. Which is ridiculous. But that's what was said.
So ridiculous or not, bombing them now would not be a violation. And if the standard is violation of some "spirit" of the thing, then Iran already did that last night with their beat- the- buzzer missile spree to kill a many civilians as possible.

Dr. Yasir Qadhi, a radical Imam, told his fellow Muslims to side with Iran over the U.S. and Israel during a lengthy sermon on Saturday at the East Plano Islamic Center (EPIC) in Texas.
I've said it before and I'll say it again - after 9/11, every single mosque and madrassa in this country should have been burned to the ground and every imam deported back to the desert, even if they were born in the US.

I don't know about the "champion Mediocre" part, DEI wasn't about championing mediocre, it was installing the insane into positions of power. They would love to have someone who looks competent, that is why they worshipped Obama (or at least the media crafted image of him). In any organization, incompetency drives out competency. This is a law of nature and is reason why innovation occurs because the competent are driven out to be unencumbered with the foolishness of the incompetent.

14 10 How do you stop Iran from continuing to attack Israel and Christianity worldwide? Regime change just brings the next extremist in line, no? This problem is a hydra. Seems the best answer, short of revolution, is to just take away their toys before they get too close? Posted by: AlaBAMA at June 24, 2025 07:16 AM (D1XPg) The specific answer, and this supplements what you say, is what happened in Syria, which at one point had the most powerful military in the Arab World, and which was a part of all the mischief. Syria today is run by another “bad guy”, but what he does no longer matters. Why not? Because he has no tanks, he has no Air Force, he has no navy, he has no missiles, and he only barely controls about half of his own country. He’s no threat to anyone outside his borders now, because the ability to be a threat was taken away from Syria. Posted by: Tom Servo at June 24, 2025 08:05 AM (HEGiN) 117

Persia is not natively Islamic. Look up the pre-1979 pictures of hawt bikini babes lounging around.

This is one of the reasons I oppose American foreign wars... It's been so long that nobody here can even remember what war is about anymore. It's about destroying another country's future so you can have a better one. In the case of a powerful, recalcitrant enemy like Iran, it's about destroying the country itself altogether, so it can never threaten you again. Every country from the dawn of history until about 75 years ago understood this, until America decided it was actually more like a football game where everybody is just playing and then they should all be friends afterward.

Wrt the ceasefire...
Perhaps more misdirection. Things on the outside of all of this that we all see(eg most if not all of us Morons) aren't the entire picture after all. If the objective is to remove nuke capability and damage the Mullah's reputation/authority, and it has been accomplished, then continued attacks may not make sense through that lens. Scope creep is a thing. Another thought is do the American People have the will to support significant US involvement in a prolonged campaign against Iran? Defined by direct action, not through a proxy that is. My perspective is Iran is playing for time. Maybe we and Israel are stringing them along or something.

Hello Russia and China. It's a question of when. The greatest purveyor of evil and global violence is the United States. Who blows up pipelines? Who attacks the national banks of other nations? Who has policies of dumping pallets of cash to terrorist regimes? Who bribes foreign officials to undermine their nation's culture and introduce sodomy, abortion and child mutilation?

Show me where in the Bible or Talmud where it is written that in order to be a true Christian or Jew you must kill all un believers. I'll wait. Posted by: J.J.

“ The word מסילות ("meh-sih-loat", plural) does not mean "pilgrimage". It means pathways. In fact in modern Hebrew, train tracks and guide rails are called mehsihloat.
Posted by: Biden's Dog sniffs a whole lotta malarkey, at June 24, 2025 08:10 AM (NC42u)” Understood and btw that’s one of my issues with the NIV and why I often go back and look at the Hebrew word. They are trying to interpret the “meaning” that is, in this case, that “pathways” ultimately is intended to mean “pilgrimage” in the modern sense. But I personally believe that’s an obfuscation. For example, if you search your heart for pathways to the Lord, it’s not necessarily a “pilgrimage”. YMMV Posted by: Marcus T at June 24, 2025 08:23 AM (3y1L6) 180

----- Boots on the ground, perpetual war, and letting your enemies off the hook all the time are intimately connected.

Good morning!
People usually forget taqiyya's sibling, muruna: https://tinyurl.com/3y4453rb "...muruna, which literally means “stealth” or “flexibility.” It is far worse than taqiyya, since it sanctions all prohibitions that block Muslim interests, even blasphemous ones. Muruna allows Muslims to sow division and confusion in the Western world. . . Muruna is literally accomplished by permitting behavior normally so eschewed by Sharia that Westerners logically assume a more moderate version of Islam when such prohibitions are suddenly permitted. Westerners’ eyes are, in fact, deceiving them. Muruna is about going to great lengths to gain interests through a much deeper level of deception while simultaneously lowering the guard and gaining the support of the infidels. It is a tactical maneuver meant to deceive the West into thinking that the Muslim Brotherhood is acquiring western modernity." See Huma Abedin marrying Jews, and Ilhan Omar and Zorhan embracing trans rights (i.e. sterilizing Westerners). They are not defying Islam when they do this, this is muruna used to destroy us from within. Posted by: Lizzy at June 24, 2025 08:40 AM (6o/o0) 271

141 In the case of a powerful, recalcitrant enemy like Iran, it's about destroying the country itself altogether, so it can never threaten you again.
Every country from the dawn of history until about 75 years ago understood this, until America decided it was actually more like a football game where everybody is just playing and then they should all be friends afterward. Posted by: Yudhishthira's Dice, #ProudKing #MoreKings at June 24, 2025 08:15 AM Interesting point, I agree with you to an extent. While thing are certainly different now, this idea of “peace” and friendship after war didn’t really start after WWII. For Americans, in particular, we got the idea after the Civil War when the country came back together fate it was over. It still took about thirty years and the Spanish-American War for those wounds to start to heal. For Europe, the new kind of peace started after the devastating Napoleonic Wars, and the Congress of Vienna. That first real international peace conference set the model for how wars were concluded afterwards. WWI & WWII ending with the League of Nations and then the Untied Nations comes from those precedents of peace followed by shared reconciliation.

Bold move. Posted by: Warai-otoko at June 24, 2025 08:48 AM (BjH5D) Well, let's not pretend that other people - including Christians - haven't ever tortured and killed people over what they believe. Come to think of it, the Holocaust was done by Christians, although not in the name of Christianity. But that's an example of people not necessarily going along with what their religion dictates. Hitler certainly wasn't turning the other cheek. People set their differences - and/or their religious principles - aside when they believe there is something in it for them.

Another example is the habit of murdering critics. Criticism in western society is a brake on radicalism and other whacky behavior. Further, Western Liberal excuses for the violent practitioners of Islam is an accelerant if not a catalyst. I remember a while back the Brits were dealing with inveterate Islamist constantly calling for Jihad and inciting violence. They couldn't deport him because he had the death penalty waiting for him at home. He had the death penalty at home because he was a crazy violent person who had committed crimes. London was trying absorb someone who had been expelled from an Islamic country for being violent.

That’s at best a non sequitur and your entire act is a bit tiresome. We will, and have killed anyone who is a threat to our nation and people. For the better part of the last 20+ years that’s coincidentally been mostly Muslims. You need to ask yourself- why? Truthfully, what have those nations and groups said and done? What drives them? You’ll find it’s a theological loathing for anyone who doesn’t submit to their ways. The every essence of liberty allows us to live side by side with people whom we may not agree on everything, except for the very fundamental right to pursue happiness without subjugating or otherwise forcing people to agree with them or comport with their beliefs. That, at a very basic level, does not comport with Islam. If you’ve read the Quran, you would know that. Anyone, Muslim or not, who wants to threaten us with extinction is going to find themselves stabbed in the heart with the tip of a spear, and I will be holding it.

Perhaps the leadership has been so fractured by the elimination of the leadership that they're not fully in control of their forces, causing a lapse in their cease-fire.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent
@SecScottBessent 18h Among the largest black markets in the United States are: • Undocumented labor • Illicit drugs • Human/sex trafficking All three are a direct result of porous borders and Washington’s decades-long refusal to meaningfully enforce immigration laws. The shadow economy propped up by Washington’s negligence has led to human suffering on a massive scale and a severe market distortion. President Trump is the first leader in a generation to take this problem seriously. This is why the administration is so committed to passing the One Big Beautiful Bill. This legislation is just as much an immigration bill as it is a tax bill. It will finish the President’s border wall and provide federal law enforcement with resources to hire thousands of new personnel to combat illegal immigration, drug cartels, and human trafficking. The goal is to end exploitation in black markets and secure the border for years to come. The American people called for immigration sanity by voting for President Trump. It’s time for Congress to answer the call. Jun 23, 2025 · 6:36 PM UTC https://x.com/SecScottBessent/status/1937218178574123382#m Posted by: Kindltot at June 24, 2025 09:11 AM (D7oie) 384
CA-GOV: Harris gives California governor's race a serious look. Those who have spoken to Harris about entering the race say it has given her a renewed sense of excitement and put “a glimmer in her eyes.” “She has a lot of people in her ear telling her that it makes the most sense and she can do the most good,”
Katie Porter will drop out of the race if VP Harris runs. Kamala might be the better candidate. It would be a tough break for Porter to run into another big Dem name, but that’s how it goes sometimes. Porter also had her chance. She got third in the statewide Senate race. Harris has won all of her statewide California elections, including the last one for California's electoral votes. I'm going with the proven winner. Literally any Democrat will win California these days. If Harris runs, the party will clear the path for her. Same ole entrenched power. We need a new direction.

Calling Islam a religion is like calling a Howitzer a firearm. It is more accurately a theocratic, fascistic structure of edicts governing the totality of societal and individual life. As Ayaan Hirsi Ali, a Somalian refugee from Islam, has testified over the last two decades, it is totally, violently incompatible with either Western liberal secular values or Christian ones.

Some people are sadly opportunists over principle. I consider myself a libertarian, but I despise the so called libertarians who only care about legalizing their vices. When it comes to the rest of it... small government, religious freedoms, a strong second amendment...they are as socialist as a liberal. I despise them.

Posted by: MrExcitement at June 24, 2025 08:44 AM (hOOi9) == The inquisition is wildly misunderstood. If you don't do a search on Spain and the Pope's response you'll never get it. As for Islam - the issue with Islam is that the later "chapters" in their scripture are more violent and doctrinaire than their beginnings. Unlike Christianity, which despite its intramural sparring through the years, preaches forgiveness and love and peace, Islamic doctrine is subjugation and death. There is no reformation construct available to its followers. Just follow it or don't. A devout Muslim is called to do damage to his non-muslim neighbors. If he doesn't, he is not acting according to the wishes of allah. It's an interesting problem. Posted by: Black JEM at June 24, 2025 09:26 AM (GZYu7) 453

371 "Wasn't there a thing called The Inquisition?"
Yes there was. Now please point out any modern day equivalent that Christianity has been engaged in. And by "Modern Day" I'm thinking the last 20 years. Posted by: NR Pax at June 24, 2025 09:08 AM (NR6c1) Modern day Christianity doesn't really control much of anything. I can't think of any armies under the command of religious authorities. But you see plenty of hatred from the "love thy neighbor" crowd. Not just against Muslims, but also against Jews. Where you have serious trouble in the Islamic world is where some fundamentalist cleric is in charge of the government. Turkey started being a problem when the government ceased to be secular, for example. Iran is something akin to a theocracy. Israel is surrounded by Muslims, but the only ones that have given it trouble in the last 20 years are Iran and its proxies, right? Posted by: MrExcitement at June 24, 2025 09:32 AM (hOOi9) 469

"Christians killing Jews by the millions" - when and where exactly did this happen? Are you trying to pretend the Nazis in general and the SS in particular were... Christian?

In part, "In other cases, people may deflate their income because they realize, for instance, that claiming to make only $30,000 instead of $70,000 means they will qualify for higher subsidy amounts." Decades ago, the feds, state unions, etc. worked towards & retired solely on pensions. OTOH many other lacked pensions for their employment so they worked to qualify for social security benefits upon retirement or/or for qualified disability. The "no double dipping rules" are essential GONE. Nowadays, even feds work on FERS, a combination of pension, social security and a thrift savings plan to which the government further contributes. Also, being employed to qualify for certain federal financial aid and related programs was dropped by many states. Further, some states will accept an individual showing an income of a certain range solely from social security & then qualify that individual for all types of benefits - financial, food, home, medical, etc. (I see that all of the time nowadays.) They'll turn a blind eye if pension or other reportable income exists. Cont'd Posted by: L - No nic, another fine day at June 24, 2025 10:17 AM (NFX2v) 487

I am very glad the Supreme Court finally agreed to more deportation. There is a sob story, UK DM, of a girl, who now bleaches her hair blondish, who was pulled over in Colorado. When she was 7yrs old her parents "overstayed" their visa visit from Brazil. So she's had 12yrs or so to become legal along with her family. Now in college, no doubt paid for by the taxpayers due to damn DACA. She gained 28k in her pocket from a sad and whiney Go Fund Me. Said the food was awful in detention and "even the bread was soggy." My heart bleeds not one drop. Deport her ass along with her entire family. I am cold and feel no sympathy for these people we prop up with our money...that should go to American citizens and especially our veterans living on the street. Thanks, Obama. On top of your pallets of cash to Iran, which Biden helped in his error, you brought in DACA.

Someone said here yesterday that it took several hours for Iranian negotiators to get in touch with leadership for permission to make a deal. Apparently, the mullahs carry no phones or other electronic devices and are in physical isolation, so finding them and getting decisions relayed back is tough.

The exact cutoff time is irrelevant. Once a ceasefire is declared, it's on. The "deadline" is to allow combatants in the field to disengage fairly and in orderly fashion. It's not a time for some beat-the-buzzer murder spree to see how many civilians you can take out before the clock hits zero.

"CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE! It has been fully agreed by and between Israel and Iran that there will be a Complete and Total CEASEFIRE (in approximately 6 hours from now, when Israel and Iran have wound down and completed their in progress, final missions!), for 12 hours, at which point the War will be considered, ENDED! Officially, Iran will start the CEASEFIRE and, upon the 12th Hour, Israel will start the CEASEFIRE and, upon the 24th Hour, an Official END to THE 12 DAY WAR will be saluted by the World. During each CEASEFIRE, the other side will remain PEACEFUL and RESPECTFUL. On the assumption that everything works as it should, which it will, I would like to congratulate both Countries, Israel and Iran, on having the Stamina, Courage, and Intelligence to end, what should be called, “THE 12 DAY WAR.” This is a War that could have gone on for years, and destroyed the entire Middle East, but it didn’t, and never will!

One might think a simple solution to this well known problem would be to generally shift all operations ahead on a permanent basis by perhaps 35 to 45 minutes, to compensate for the latent tardiness. But I expect, this doesn’t work.
Posted by: Common Tater at June 24, 2025 06:20 AM (+/0+/) My mom had a bright idea similar to this years ago. She had a problem with always running late. To solve that she decided to set all the clocks fifteen minutes ahead of the actual time. It worked for a few weeks, until her brain caught up and reminded her that the clocks were wrong and eventually she began to tell herself. “I’ve still got fifteen minutes left” and she started cutting it closer and closer until she was right back where she started. This idea lasted a few years and then it was back to the correct time on the clocks again. Posted by: SpeakingOf at June 24, 2025 06:47 AM (6ydKt) 151

Posted by: Famous Henry the Second Quotes at June 24, 2025 06:51 AM (B1a/Q) This is the problem with modern, surgical warfare. We don't, generally, target leaders so they're in no personal danger. We don't, deliberately, target civilians or civilian infrastructure so they suffer no hardship. The way to get rid of the mullahs is to make the Iranian people choose to get rid of the mullahs by making their lives as miserable as necessary until they choose that.

NY is a closed primary state,. It's a Democrat primary, so I can't vote. But that shit weasel muzzie-commie/commie-muzzie will kill NYC. Taking the police OUT of high crime areas/neighborhoods. If this asshole wins, Dinkins will look good in comparison. As I said here a week or two ago, Cuomo is a viable option for me if he makes it to the general. Posted by: RickZ at June 23, 2025 10:26 PM (gKDq2) 95
People should realize that if Mamdani is elected mayor of NYC the crazy crap he is proposing may actually occur. A good portion of the city council is even more hardcore left than he is. I live 90 m north of the city and I've talked to friends who've lived there all their lives and they are actually thinking of leaving if he's elected. Amazing that a guy who's actions led to the deaths of tens of thousands of elderly is actually a better candidate (Cuomo).

Hard to say this Iran conflict wasn't played perfectly by Trump. The MAGA movement was obviously very split, with some wanting no involvement at all, and others saying it was needed but hoping it wouldn't turn into a larger war. Both sides seemed to think getting involved at all would probably lead to a bigger conflict, and there are obviously entrenched people in the DOD that want that.
And yet, we went in, took out their nuke capabilities, and negotiated a ceasefire. It was masterfully played and basically satisfied everyone but the most "pro-WWIII war mongers in DC." Gotta think Trump is going to get a big boost for how he handled this. Most Americans were polling with a "yes take out their nukes but no war" and that's exactly what Trump delivered.

I think the funniest thing about the past ten years of Donald Trump as a political force is how much he exposes how utterly inept and largely moronic the entire DC "class" is. Here's a guy who was basically a TV personality, and before that was only a moderately successful businessman. He was a solid 7.
He steps into politics, not as a mayor or governor or US rep. No no, he goes for the big enchilada, and everyone at first laughs at him. Then he gets in and does the job better, arguably, than anyone has done the job in a century. And they hate him for it. They hate him because they're idiots who spent their life trying to do the job and failed. And he just waltzes in like it's easy and does it without breaking a sweat. Seriously, he's been in politics for 10 years: Compare him to Obama after 2 terms, or Bush, or Clinton. All of them went from babyfaced, brownhaired middle aged men, to haggered, grey haired grandpas. Trump, who started later in life than any of them, jumped into the arena at the highest levels, and ten years later he looks the same as he did the day he glided down the escalator. It's hilarious.

Bonus feel good story: Community Rallies To Buy Ice Cream Truck For Beloved Tampa Vendor Walking Miles In Summer Heat
Extra bonus feel good story. I had to run up MN to bury an in-law Aunt that took with my Uncle's best friend. He never recovered. As part of this trip I ran up to the old hometown area to check that he and my other family members were still where they were the last time I went to visit everyone's grave. Of course I forgot everything necessary and being a Saturday there were zero employees around. Graveyards are lively places with many people tending to their deceased loved ones. One of the lovely people that has stayed in my mind was a wobbly elderly lady tending to good old dad. She was unable to help me, but as these encounters can go, we struck up a lovely conversation about everything. When it was to time leave I noticed she had difficulty standing up from where she sat and with that I helped her up. She made sure I knew here mobility issues began when her cousin backed over her with an ice cream truck. And now you know the rest of the story.

I think the funniest thing about the past ten years of Donald Trump as a political force is how much he exposes how utterly inept and largely moronic the entire DC "class" is. Here's a guy who was basically a TV personality, and before that was only a moderately successful businessman. He was a solid 7.
---------------------- They expose that all by themselves. Trump is an extraordinary leader and if you can't see that then you are willfully blind. He "waltzed" in because he is smart, he made it look easy because he stood firm and never wavered, despite all the "smart" people on our side continually knowing better than he does about every single thing he should do.

This was a Colorado state appeals court, and the "honey" lawyer was for the *prosecution*. They were arguing something about where under the law, a sexual assault could be broken up into multiple acts, and therefore trigger more penalties, or was it just one single act. So, this was bad for the state, not a defendant, but yeah, with something this bad, looks like time for a do-over, different judge, and certainly a different state lawyer.

Not in the fake Whiz Kid number crunching Smarter Than Everyone Here bullshit way. More in the old school bronze age no nonsense general way. Carve through the bullshit. Simplify every problem to its core. Strip away the confounding variables, and then set things up so that the most of the possible outcomes are acceptable, if not awesome, for you.

If Iran, or Pakistan, etc. ever delivered a nuke via a container ship, it is NOT going to explode at a harbor in Arkansas or Oklahoma. It is probably going to LA or NYC. If they do manage to send an ICBM with dubious targeting capabilities, they aren't aiming for a low population density Red state.

Meanwhile, in Ukraine:
1. Negotiations were supposed to restart today, but I haven't heard any news of them if they did. 2. Proving they still have a little bit of fight in them, the Ukrainians were able to recapture a village in the northeast (Sumy) area. The Russians had abruptly stopped advancing in this area about a week ago. 3. The Ukrainian High Command announced a reorganization of the Army into a "Corps" structure, for better offensive capabilities. At this point, deck chairs on the Titanic come to mind.

Posted by: Pillage Idiot at June 24, 2025 12:30 AM (HlyYF) Thanks! Yeah, "woozy" precisely describes how I feel when I am having an episode. I was in a chair in the ER, having an initial BP and EKG reading, and my heart rate was 34, and I was feeling the chest pressure. As I watched, heart rate went up over 50, and the chest pressure vanished, just like turning off a switch. I now have a much better understanding of what is going on.

My brother passed away early Saturday morning. He had the nurses call me a little after midnight. He wasn't very coherent I asked him if he wanted me to come in. I was about an hour out. I was stepping off the elevator at the end of his floor when he passed. Thanks for asking AOP. The support of this community is powerful.

I got news today that my cousin in Cold Lake, Alberta passed away on Thursday. He was suffering from dementia, and was basically an empty shell of his former self. So I have a funeral to go to on Saturday. RIP, Ron. Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at June 24, 2025 12:42 AM (l6wpV) 377
A bit war-foggish right now. Iranians claim last attack launched before the buzzer, but apparently new missile alerts. Also Israel closed its airspace, not exactly sure that's entirely new or how they've been handling it for the last 12 days.

Cool or Mean? What are your thoughts? A Michigan police dog named Ice gained viral fame after being accused of stealing an officer’s lunch. The Wyandotte Police Department posted a mock mugshot of the K-9, showing him wide-eyed and looking guilty, which quickly caught attention online.
The story? An officer briefly stepped away from his meal—only to return and find Ice licking his chops with the food missing. While the department joked about Ice remaining silent and “invoking his Fifth Amendment rights,” public support flooded in, ultimately prompting them to playfully drop the charges. #animalwatch #dogfactsdaily Posted by: Ciampino - dogs are funny at June 24, 2025 01:17 AM (sPQoU) 419

It wasn't a burden. It's what family should do. I did it with my father for 2 1/2 years. Our Lord puts tasks in front of us but it's our choice to pick them up. I rely on His strength. It's not over with my brother. His daughter will get into Spokane late tonight and I need to help her get his house cleaned up. I also have to get the probate process rolling so we can sell the house hopefully relatively quick. She doesn't have good financial skills so prayers that I am able to give her some wise council that she takes to heart would be appreciated.

So the ceasefire is "phased". Unbelievably, it started for Iran at midnight EDT, but only starts for Israel at noon tomorrow (EDT). I think. All the reporting on this has been ridiculous, with time-zone considerations usually ignored.
So this is bizarre. Not sure that last Iranian missile attack was after the buzzer, but I think so. 8 dead so far in Israel - but not sure it's from that last attack, or the one just prior. So Israel has 3.5 more hours to party over Tehran? Huh? I'm sure we'll learn more, but many aspects of this are weird. Also, so far, AFAIK, not a word about the *terms* of the ceasefire, or what follows. More talks? Posted by: rhomboid at June 24, 2025 01:26 AM (1m82a) 433

I appreciated your original comment AP. That wasn't pushing back. I've learned that if you consider something to be a burden, when you pick it up, it's generally heavy. I keep a weather eye on the future, but much of that is out of my control. I know what is in the past but I don't give too much thought to it. I generally wake up every morning and thank the Lord for another day, hope that what I accomplish honors Him in at least some small way and then I wonder what's on my wife's list.

The movie Wander (2020) showed up in my YouTube feed. Because it has Tommy Lee Jones in it I thought why not.
One minute into the film is this: To all Indigenous, Black, and People of Color who are targeted and have been displaced through Border Control on stolen land. May we expose government violences, propel change and honor the voices of those who have been silenced. Wander was filled on the homelands of the Pueblo, Navajo and Apaches peoples That went right to the most extreme place possible. This should be a shit show. And yes I'm watching it. Is it too much to ask that Tommy Lee Jones's character be a zombie that eats everybody but Border Control? I am absolutely convinced it's not though I am betting the movie producers have a somewhat different point of view.

As yet no public statement from an Israeli official on the ceasefire (AFAIK). Per very confusing reports, Israel still has til noon EDT to render fraternal assistance to, or bomb, Iran - but mostly bomb. Most deadly Iranian attack of the war this morning in Israel, either at the buzzer or after (simply can't tell from available info).
Latest Trumpgram says "The ceasefire is now in effect. Please do not violate it!". "Please"? LOL. Anyway, "in effect" where? Just in Iran? All this dust will settle soon enough. Posted by: rhomboid at June 24, 2025 02:09 AM (1m82a) 478

Another report of one more Iranian nuke scientist iced last night. Precision strike in Tehran. There was video earlier, looked like a hit on a vehicle on the street, though things were not that clear. This sort of brotherly reaching out has been going on for years (though with the trusty suppressed .22, not whatever Israel is using for these strikes). They won't stop - or will they? "Ceasefire" meaning ..... what? Beyond conventional military action, I mean.
Posted by: rhomboid at June 24, 2025 02:17 AM (1m82a) 481
The way I read Trump's ceasefire post, Iran was supposed to start the ceasefire at about 1am Eastern Time (about an hour ago). After 12 hours, Israel joins in the ceasefire (having seen that Iran has stopped). 12 hours after that, peace is declared.
But I think people are taking Trump too literally. I don't really believe he spoke to Iran. I believe the post was a MESSAGE to Iran's leadership that they have a 24 hour window where they don't have to worry about being attacked by Israel. I suspect the idea is that they're supposed to take the opportunity to GTFO. If they DON'T take the deal, they're DEAD, plain and simple. So I think it's a thinly veiled THREAT, not really a peace deal. What if Iran's regime stops fighting and DOESN'T LEAVE? Maybe he knows that would never happen. Posted by: MrExcitement at June 24, 2025 02:19 AM (hOOi9) 482
Iran is going to treat this "cease fire" exactly as they have prior. My hope here is that what Trump said about Iran not liking consequences if they disregarded the procedure was totally serious.

I'm fully versed on the serious/literal thing with Trump's statements. But this is a weird situation. Virtually no information on what's supposed to happen, so far no Israeli public response at all. That can't last obviously, and the deadly missile strike of course also will result in lots of talk, no matter the response. Did see one report that Bibi had briefed the war cabinet and ordered total public silence on the ceasefire, for now, so that might explain some of this.
Posted by: rhomboid at June 24, 2025 02:26 AM (1m82a) 485
So if I have this straight, our own man on the scene, "Biden's Dog sniffs a whole lotta malarkey", in Israel if I'm not mistaken, said, around 1:30 Eastern time, that any Iranian missiles being fired stopped around and hour and a half earlier, at midnight Eastern time.
So maybe the Iranian part started then, about midnight, Eastern US time. That's supposed to go 12 hours, and then Israel joins in for another 12 hours. It's unclear whether Israel is allowed to let lose on Iran without Iran firing back or not. Again, I suspect this was an EDICT by Trump, not an actual "agreement". How I HOPE this goes is that the leadership of Iran will do the same thing that Saddam Hussein's government did - they were talking big one day, and the next they were nowhere to be found. I suspect that Trump was REALLY giving the regime a chance to ESCAPE, rather than be killed, in the interest in leaving the country more intact for the Iranian people who will remain.

Posted by: rhomboid at June 24, 2025 02:26 AM (1m82a) That's exactly what I'm talking about. Something SECRET is going on. What I think that is, is that the Iranian regime is being allowed to Get The Fuck Out Of There, alive, rather than destroy the country. Trump and Israel want the people of Iran to inherit a physically intact country when the regime is gone. This is exciting! What ELSE would call for such secrecy? Posted by: MrExcitement at June 24, 2025 02:33 AM (hOOi9) 487
Ah. Israel announces it has achieved all objectives in the war (nukes, missile threat). Umm, missile threat negated? Kind of awkward when rescuers are still going through the ruins of the deadliest attack to date, but whatever. Not generally implausible, and Bibi did say something a few days back about most objectives being achieved.
The third essential demand the US has had for Iran - end to terrorism and support of regional troublemakers - is presumably just left aside for now? It's a big one. Posted by: rhomboid at June 24, 2025 02:35 AM (1m82a) 488

407 A nation that actually wanted Peace, would not send missiles after civilian targets, right up to, and past, the Cease Fire deadline.
Proves that Iran does not 'think' they have been defeated... If the same regime stays in power, we will continue with the same stupid crap as we've had for the last 40 years. Posted by: Romeo13 at June 24, 2025 01:08 AM (mP0Kj) It's just the opposite. It shows that they ARE defeated. No, they don't WANT peace - but they know they've lost, and that it's their LAST chance to take a swipe at the Jews. Somehow the image of Nancy Pelosi tearing up Trump's SOTU address comes to mind.

130 I was reading this oldschool D&D book called "Grimtooth's Traps". One trap runs as follows:
first character crosses the hall, a magicmouth shouts DUCK and then a duck waddles across second character crosses, magicmouth shouts DUCK and then a poison arrow flies overhead then the magicmouth says "well, don't say i didn't warn you" Posted by: gKWVE at June 23, 2025 08:28 PM (gKWVE) Oh my Lord, I actually remember this one. If I recall the setup correctly, the ground is rather befouled so if you hit the deck your character ends up covered in some really nasty shit, so as to provide additional discouragement to the character following the initial duck.

https://is.gd/atxVLd Tucker Carlson: It’s worth pointing out that a strike on the Iranian nuclear sites will almost certainly result in thousands of American deaths at bases throughout the Middle East, and cost the United States tens of billions of dollars. The cost of future acts of terrorIsm on American soil may be even higher. Those aren’t guesses. Those are the Pentagon’s own estimates. A bombing campaign against Iran will set off a war, and it will be America’s war. Don’t let the propagandists lie to you.

This is the U.S.'s one chance maybe *ever* to take care of business against the chief jihad sponsor in the world, and when Trump proves detractors and Monday Morning QB's wrong AGAIN, will they come forward and admit it, or will it just be more crap? BTW, it takes a *lot* for me to back military action from our dumbass fuckface country again, I could honestly give a shit whether the world fucking burns at this point as the West climbs into a giant Europe Shaped burka and commits suicide - however, the "lot" this time is Trump, he is our chance. God spared him for a reason and for all we know this is it. This isn't covid with him obviously backed into a political corner full of unknowns an election year by enemies foreign and domestic, this is more like every other time all the "experts" have voxplained why Trump is obviously dumb or wrong and it turns out he is not.

159 I'm sorry to bother the Horde, but can I get a prayer for my mother?
She's in hospice care now and it looks like the end is near. They're giving her morphine every couple of hours to help her sleep. I'm sitting with her right now. She looks terrible, but she's snoring away. I can't be here long. I've gotta get back on the road tomorrow. I'd like for the end to be quick and painless. Me and my siblings can't stand seeing her like this. I know most everyone is on the upper end of 29 but for the younger dudes (there's a few of ya'll!) give your moms some love when you get a chance. Posted by: Robert at June 23, 2025 08:49 PM (LN5bl) Sorry to hear about that, and prayers for you and your mother. My father went through the same thing at the end of his life, the morphine eventually caused his kidneys to fail. What made it suck even worse was it was shortly after the lockdown began and the veteran's home was limiting visitors ![]() Posted by: Farquad at June 23, 2025 09:08 PM (YkGND) 220

190 The MOP costed $500 million to develop.
Posted by: Boss Moss at June 23, 2025 08:57 PM (6iGXV) My brain must be inflation warped as that does not really sound that bad as far as these things go. Posted by: Aetius451AD work phone at June 23, 2025 08:57 PM (YUL+W) FYI - the MOP's body is said to be Eglin Steel. Eglin steel (ES-1) is a high-strength, high-performance, low-alloy, low-cost steel, developed for a new generation of bunker buster type bombs, e.g. the GBU-57 and improved version of the GBU-28 bomb known as EGBU-28. It was developed in collaboration between the US Air Force and the Ellwood National Forge Company. The development of Eglin steel was commissioned to find a low-cost replacement for strong and tough but expensive superalloy steels such as AF-1410, Aermet-100, HY-180, and HP9-4-20/30. A high-performance casing material is required so the weapon survives the high impact speeds required for deep penetration. The material has a wide range of other applications, from missile parts and tank bodies to machine parts. At room temperature, ES-1's yield (tensile strength before deformation) is 193,900 psi (1,337 MPa)! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eglin_steel Posted by: Gref at June 23, 2025 09:25 PM (aBgBM) Posted by: Anonosaurus Wrecks, Master of the Mundane at June 23, 2025 09:25 PM (L/fGl) 244

Posted by: Tom Servo at June 23, 2025 09:25 PM (e2MJJ) I'm starting to look at this mess as a whole bunch of good enough options no matter what. 1) The regime collapses on its own and the people form a decent modern republic in its wake 2) The regime hangs on but is so brutally repressive the people rise against it and kill them Romania style 3) The regime hangs on but is so cowed and craven that they no longer pose a threat and no longer can be as repressive against their people as they would like 4) The regime lashes out and Operation Bye Bye Fucknuts commences with no illusions about the regime continuing to exist. Any one of those could work. It's starting to take some real creativity to come up with scenarios that look bad. The only plausible bad outcome I can really think of is the US and Israel running out of ordinance and having to actually invade, against a general population who is willing to stand by their mullahs in spite of their shittiness. A lot of dumb shit would have to happen for that to be the outcome, though, and so far that kind of "dumb shit" doesn't seem to be on the menu anymore under new management.

I think it might be worth considering that for the first time in a very long time we have a very good businessman who would rather do deals than just about anything and he knows how win them. Deals are about leverage and Trump has all of it right now, pretty much around the world not just in Iran. That's what the tariffs were about. That's what the trip to the UAE, Saudi and Qatar was about and that's what the strikes on Iran were about. All of the experts have been wrong about all of them so far. Trump might be loud and egotisical but he's also pretty damn smart and good at deal making and he's dealing with people who by and large aren't. A lot of people have told me over the years that government isn't business. True. But business isn't government either. Trump knows how to make deals that benefit us. America First.

Really the first thing Trump's done as a politician that is at all "sneaky" was the run up to this bombing op. Which, hey, if you're not going to be sneaky about warfare, then you're just not trying.
Otherwise it's just "say what you're gonna do, do it, then tell them all what you just did", and still no one can ever seem to believe it, even now. Posted by: Warai-otoko at June 23, 2025 10:03 PM (BjH5D) 290
>>There's no sneaky skullduggery about it, either. The dude just looks you right in the face and wedgies you from the front.
>>"Yeah. I'm flying to hang out with the Saudis this week. Yeah, we're talking about you. What?" I've spent my career building businesses and I look at government and ask all the time "What the fuck are you doing?". The B2 is 35 years old. We've had an overwhelming military advantage over everyone for decades and our leaders on both sides of the aisle have either surrendered or squandered our advantage. Trump knows how to use power and it's great to see. I trust him to make deals to our advantage. He's not perfect, he will make mistakes. But he is going to push our interests way past where they have been in decades.

way off topic...to Texas Morons did y'all see where Paxton was acquitted of the original Colin County lawsuit drummed up by 'Texans For Lawsuit Reform' back in 2015? I missed it but I've kept up with it as best I could during the fiasco from the previous legislative session. The cause that Colin County dropped the case was because the three Houston shyster/lawyer's original bill for an estimated $30k to try the cause ballooned to over $500k and Colin County refused to pay it and dropped it. Those three runts are the ones that tried to keep it alive and even tried to move it the Houston/Harris County.

It would sure be nice if the people of Iran took the lead. When I was in college I had an Iranian economics perfessor that was a young and very creative instructor. He explained how what a country produces and values is typically the basis of its economy. He declared before he fled Iran the most coveted thing to Iranians was the Chevy Monte Carlo and explained why it could be the source of their wealth.
His name was Bar'Arakat and we all knew him as Bearcat and he liked it. Posted by: DanMan at June 23, 2025 07:14 PM (8uzBS) 121

The senior Iranian general seems a rather dull sort. Mossad calls him, tells him what's what, the Iranian general doesn't seem to get it even after the Mossad guy says, "Hey, I've got your cell number, I'll send you the information."
Though, I suppose with the obliteration of senior commanders, followed quickly by the death of the second in command, it's understandable the current guy might not quite be up to snuff, maybe even shell shocked over the way events have taken over.

Israel only bombed military sites and IRGC buildings. Iran and it's proxies send unguided missiles into residential areas with no regard for schools, hospitals, children, elderly.

What does Iran have left to defend, and how might they be able to defend it? Every rocket will be shot down, and they can't make more. nobody likes them or will help them. They have no source of income. They can't even mount an offensive against either Israel or the U.S. Block the Stright or Hormuz?

I suspect that the Israeli agents who did so much damage to the personnel of the Iranian gov't, were probably also making connections and supply weapons to dissidents inside Iran. Pacifying the populace with force will make the mullahs permanently locked into domestic repression. They will not have the energy or money to do foreign adventures for a long, long time.

He may have gotten information that Iran was enriching Uranium to sell to . . . I dunno, something like the Israelis and the South Africans brewing up their own bombs in the 90's, mayby Iran and the PDRKorea had worked up a plan to sell nukes on ebay but we don't know and you take for granted it is for the worst reasons.

Israel has the most integrated diverse population in the world. They accept everyone including LGBTQ idiots. They gave Gaza back to the Gazans in 2005 including greenhouses which were producing food. The Gazans proceeded to rip everything down, build tunnels so they could build rockets to fire at Israel on an almost daily basis while using their population as shields. Iran funded Hezbollah, the Houthis, the PA to continue to harass and terrorize Israel on a daily basis.
They did nothing to provoke this except to occupy a sliver of land not in the hands of Islamic Arabs. Posted by: Sharon(willow's apprentice) at June 23, 2025 07:40 PM (t/2Uw) 283

I think that the Jews, even if LBJ asks them to do so, should not bomb American ships or send Epstein to gather blackmail files on US Senators. A true blue friend and true innocent would not do those. I still haven't forgotten that SA sent 19 of their citizens to the Towers.

I often wonder what happened to old fashioned bribery. You contact the Iranian top dogs, one by one (maybe not the hard core clerics, they can become disposable) and offer them enough money to head for the Emirates, chase blondes, drink and gamble on the QT, and wreck Lambos. They keep quiet, enjoy the action, and payday is first Tuesday of the month.

I suspect the reason Israel agreed to the cease fire is that Trump made it a condition of the US bombing the Iranian weapon sites. "If we bomb, then you need to agree to any cease fire deal that I can make, and I come out as the Peace Maker". Sounds like a Trumpian thing to do.

Trump lets the cat out of the bag and reports that Iran gave Qatar advanced warning:
