Iran did not threaten us. We were not at war with them. Iranian Foreign Minister meets with Putin although other reports say Russia is unlikely to enter the conflict. UPI reports however that other countries are willing to supply Iran with nukes after Trump's act of bellicosity. Now as we all know Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard recently testified before Congress that it is the consensus of the intelligence community that Iran is not seeking nuclear weapons as the Ayatollah suspended that program in 2003. After Trump dumped on Tulsi however she now says new intelligence has come to light (read: whatever Netanyahu says) in order to keep her post. Call her Flipper. People can't withstand the wrath of the Orange Man I guess. I get concerned when I'm running low on the Christian Brothers. For Hegseth it's the hair gel. The last question when does Trump take Greenland?
Iran full of big holes. Trump probably planning big golf course. What some presidents won't do for praise from Bibi. Geeez et. al. eating it up, claim UN is a communist org. Me downing CB to sharpen the wits and dull the pain. Cat problem, his once glossy coat has become all matted, Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?
ReplyDeleteWe have US bases all around Iran. They're everywhere. Trump is putting our boys in danger. Can we intercept every missile?
ReplyDeleteSampled GeeeZ today. Ed doesn't like Tucker because he doesn't like what Trump is doing. Echo chamber. What happens when these commenters go out in real life and encounter alternative viewpoints? Don't know if most of her commenters are retired but I still work and there's a lot of anti-Trump sentiment out there.
Z had more misgivings about Trump during the campaign. I found myself agreeing fairly often with her but once he won something happened. Now he can do no wrong. It's all the media's and the Democrat's fault.
ReplyDeleteWord is Iran moved the nuclear material before the strikes. A 10-year old could've figured out Trump would do this. His mouth gave fair warning.
ReplyDeleteTentative ceasefire deal between Israel and Iran? Just like that? Count me skeptical.
Had to smile at the Hegseth speech complete with flowery praise for He Who Must Be Obeyed, then launching into the bombing of a place already bombed for weeks proves we are by far the mightiest military in the world. The minions found it inspiring no doubt.
ReplyDeleteInteresting dilemma across the river in Washington state. They passed a law requiring priests that hear of child abuse in the confessional booth have to report it. But priests have taken vows that confessions stay in the booth. I can see both sides and even Catholics are divided. Imagine - "Well Ted Bundy, as horrible as it was, I'll never tell". Opine?
ReplyDeleteI've sometimes thought about this. Similar to lawyer client privilege and even shrinks patients. The workaround is that the priest is supposed to strongly encourage the person to turn themselves in. Part of the penance I guess. My opining ends there. Might side with law enforcement on this one.
DeleteInteresting that they felt the need to pass a law about this. For me it's questionable to pass a law covering maybe some theoretical scenario. Do the legislators sit around and come up with mind twisters?
DeleteApparently the world's leading state sponsor of terror even gave Trump a polite heads up about sending 6 missiles to the US military base in Qatar. Let's make it even more polite. A boxing match between Trump and Khamenei with proceeds going to charity.
ReplyDeleteAnybody believe this shit?
This upsets me - he wants to open the Wilderness area to highways and roads. To get the big equipment in to chop down the trees, drill for oil and mine for coal? &*^%#* He leave ruins everywhere.
ReplyDeleteHe'll be displacing all the animals. Might get some cougars in Yonkers.
DeleteWhat's up with Cuomo? Disgraced ex-gov with a strange newsman brother. Weird. Trump now blasting Bibi and Khamenei for breaking his BBT and using the F word. Where can we hide? If Trump ever went to confession he would say Biden did it.
ReplyDeleteYou think in our lifetime Bibi will ever actually honor a ceasefire? Big primary day here in NYC. Mr. Grabass trailing Mamdani in the polls.
DeleteWeather map looks really hot back there. Lemonade for the ferals?
ReplyDeleteI can tolerate a lot but yesterday was horrible. Actually looked forward to going to work today.
DeleteWe are hot but dry - they say dry heat vs humid heat is an oven vs a broiler. Dunno.
ReplyDeleteIt is thought Iran has about 600 lbs of U-235 weapon grade Uranium stashed around the country. Brushing up on my nuclear physics, it seems a critical mass for this type weapon is a little over 141 lbs which technically requires some other fancy stuff to properly detonate. The more established countries, I assume use Pu239 Plutonium which gives the same effect with only 25 lbs, but is more difficult to mfg. Small wonder Bibi goes after physicists.
ReplyDeleteBill Clinton now quite an elder says Bibi always going to war is the only way he stays in office. It's a distraction from the corruption charges. He's always in perpetual war mode. What is it Hamas, Hezbollah, Syria, Yemen and now Iran. A 5 front war. Am I leaving anybody out?
ReplyDeleteGive me the hot but dry. Don't gotta keep changing your underwear.
ReplyDeleteSaw on news some guy was arrested by ICE agents, 4 of them beat the crap out of him right on camera. His 3 sons are Marine Corps veterans.
ReplyDeleteHere I thought they were after rapists, killers, drug dealers etc. Naw, they don't give a damn. Color me disgusted.
There's always a job out there for psychopaths.
