Tripped over this one and was skeptical,

to say the least, but finally got some confirmation.  Don't know how many of you saw this, but it's a, "Yeah, I'd have gone, too".

Turns out Trump and Netayahu were right on the money. The headline - Trump attacked before Iran nuked America, saving millions of lives - pretty much says it all. The long and the short of it is during the peace negotiations being mediated by Oman, the Iranians bragged to US officials that in 6 days, they were going to be at 90% enrichment and that they had 5 long-range missiles ready, which they were going to arm and launch as soon as possible, in order to get rid of the Great Satan.

Whether it was a bluff or not, I have no idea, but the idea the mullahs would be that stupid. floors me.

This would mean  anywhere from 5 - 50 million Americans (if they hit Seattle, LA, and San Fiasco, probably more - prevailing winds) dead and a lot of infrastructure gone. This is why Trump is doing to the mullahs what Eisenhower and MacArthur did to the Krauts and the Nips in '45 or what Grant, Sherman, and Sheridan did to the Confederacy.

Why they're playing this sotto voce, I'm not sure. Clearly, once this does get out (and it will, I have no doubt), forget Rushmore. America's going to build a new mountain just for him. The Demos are trying to stem the tide by talking draft and doing the Vietnam dance, forgetting how Brandon was talking draft as a way of cutting unbemployment.. It won't work, simply because this is a war fought with high tech and special operations and the kind of WWII-era dumb draftee the Demos envision in a DEI Army isn't needed.

Apologies to Herman Kahn

This may rankle some. Frankly, I understand their dislike and disapproval and I respect it.

However, there's one point that nobody's brought up about the current hostilities that needs consideration. I recall reading a few weeks ago Iran was getting very close to miltary nuclear capability. That stuck with me.

Over the years, Israel has tried manfully to send the mullahs back to the Stone Age. Somehow, they always come back. We can argue how and why, but the fact is they are getting help.

Add to that the fact their acolytes are serious fanatics, to use Helen Mirren's well-turned phrase, and we really are faced with the unthinkable.

So, in light of the current situation, we must ask ourselves one big question, "Do I feel lucky?".

On Hope & Change

 I was alone and awake in early morning darkness, when I picked up the first reports coming in today (from two very different sources--The Drudge Report and Citizen Free Press) about the US/Israeli strike on Iran. As I read those reports, I experienced a mixture of thoughts and feelings that included a sense of resignation, uncertainty and trepidation over what was unfolding, and what was yet to come.  With all of it bringing back to mind what I'd felt as I watched the incoming 2020 election results for MI stall in the middle of the night and come back in the early morning hours turned around in favor of Biden.  Back then I knew at the time that something out of the ordinary had happened, but hadn't known what it was or how hugely significant whatever it was would turn out to be for the entire world.  And today, with this new situation and world event unfolding, I'm once again holding all that accompanies the awareness of another significant change underway.   

By the time I read the following statement by President Trump made at 3:37PM today (twelve hours after his first announcement at 2:30 AM), and came to the line, "This is the single greatest chance for the Iranian people to take back their country",  I was ready to say, "Yes! I hope the Iranian people take that chance" and join President Trump in the hope that the chances being taken by all involved will, in his words, "achieve the objective of PEACE THROUGHOUT THE MIDDLE EAST, AND, INDEED, THE WORLD!"

On Revulsion & Revelation

Whether seated or missing, the Democratic contingent did an outstanding job of revealing their priorities yesterday, providing some memorable visuals to accompany the seeping stench of the lies, fraud and treachery currently being unearthed and exposed.
