From My Point of View YOU are Evil!

Timothy Birdnow

Here is a good essay with my own comments at the end:

MICHAEL SMITH

MAR 6

A bar chart showing that In many countries, people see their fellow citizens as morally good

Shortly after I posted the essay on "progressive” Christianity, I saw something that tied into my premise that "progressive” Christians are simply redefining traditional Christian tenets in ways that agree with their political agenda. That "something” was a new Pew survey (released yesterday) that showed the results of respondents in several countries being asked a simple question:

"Are the people in your country morally good or morally bad?”

In nearly every nation surveyed, large majorities said their fellow citizens were good people. They might complain about politicians or corruption, but they still believed the average person around them was fundamentally decent.

Except in the United States.

In America, the survey found that a majority of respondents believed their fellow citizens were morally bad rather than morally good. The most common explanation offered is political polarization and there is certainly some truth to that explanation. Our politics have become increasingly hostile, and the language used to describe opponents often sounds less like disagreement and more like moral condemnation. Political arguments are increasingly framed as battles between good people and bad people, but the deeper problem may not be that Americans have suddenly become less moral than people in other countries. It may be something more basic: Americans increasingly disagree about what morality even means.

Words like "good” and "bad” sound simple, but they are not. Their meaning depends on the moral framework someone is using. For most of American history, that framework was broadly shared. Even people who were not personally religious lived within a culture shaped by religious assumptions about right and wrong. Ideas such as honesty, responsibility, loyalty, charity, and restraint formed a common vocabulary of morality.

Americans argued constantly about policy, but they were generally speaking the same moral language when they did so.

Over the past several decades, that shared framework has weakened. Religious affiliation has declined, church attendance has fallen, and the number of Americans who identify with no religious tradition has grown steadily. As those institutions faded, the common moral vocabulary that accompanied them faded as well.

In its place, several competing moral systems have taken root.

One useful way to think about this divide comes from social psychologist Jonathan Haidt. His Moral Foundations Theory suggests that human beings tend to build their moral judgments on several basic instincts—things like care and harm, fairness, loyalty, respect for authority, and ideas of sanctity or purity. Different groups emphasize those foundations differently, which means they can look at the same event and reach very different moral conclusions.

You can see that dynamic in many of the political disputes that dominate modern headlines. One person may view abortion primarily as an issue of personal liberty, while another sees it as the destruction of innocent human life. One group may interpret immigration enforcement as cruelty, while another sees it as the defense of national sovereignty and the rule of law. One side sees traditional gender norms as oppressive, while another sees their rejection as social instability.

In each case, both sides believe they are defending moral principles. Yet because they are using different definitions of moral good, they inevitably conclude that their opponents are not merely mistaken but immoral and that distinction matters. When people disagree about policy, compromise is possible. When they believe their opponents are morally corrupt, compromise begins to feel like surrender. If the other side is not just wrong but evil, negotiation itself starts to look like betrayal.

Modern media and political culture intensify this dynamic. Disagreements are framed less as debates over policy and more as struggles between virtue and vice. Every controversy becomes evidence of moral failure, and every election is presented as a battle to save the country from the dangerous intentions of the other side. Given those circumstances, it becomes easy to see why Americans might tell pollsters that many of their fellow citizens are bad people. They are not simply describing their neighbors; they are judging the moral framework they believe those neighbors represent.

Ironically, that result does not necessarily mean Americans are less moral than people in other countries. In some ways it may mean the opposite. Americans remain intensely concerned with moral questions and argue about them constantly.

The problem is that we are increasingly arguing from entirely different moral dictionaries.

For most of the nation’s history, a shared framework of moral assumptions allowed people to argue without questioning the basic character of their neighbors. Today, that common framework appears to be fragmenting. People can look at the same events, policies, and cultural changes and reach completely opposite moral conclusions and when a society no longer agrees on what "good” means, it should not be surprising if many citizens begin to believe their neighbors are bad.

I thought it was interesting that Canada, a country that has abortion on demand and euthanasia, ranked highest on the morally good side.

The survey result may not truly measure a collapse in American morality at all, but it may instead reveal something more troubling: a country that no longer shares a common definition of it.

The last time America had a divide of this magnitude, we fount a bloody civil war to resolve it.

Mr. Birdnow responds:

Let us put this in a nutshell shall we? For a hundred years the Progressive Left has been in control of the educational system and has substituted their own atheistic moral code to replace the Judeo-Christian ethics of the past. Now they own the schools and universities, lock, stock, and barrel and there is indeed a competing moral code but it is the work of demonic forces aka the radical Left, and many believe it because it's what has been taught to them.

G.K. Chesterton put it best:

"The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting. It has been found difficult; and left untried.”

And that includes Judaism, which has also been rejected because it wasn't as much fun as neopaganism or outright atheism.

So the Left has tempted Americans with fleshly, worldly pleasures and has made anyone who tells them this will hurt them in the end into bogeymen, bad people who want to steal their enjoyment of life. Abortion is a great example; the best way to not have an abortion is to not get pregnant, and to do THAT the best way is to keep the office closed for business. But if you tell many Americans that they will think ill of you because they WANT to enjoy themselves in this way.

There very much is a moral problem in America, and the rest of the world too. Americans just clung to Christianity longer than Europe or the colonial nations. But how do you reach someone who thinks the only evil is the person who says there is evil? That is where our problem now lies.

Leftism is nothing but a substitute religion for Judeo-Christianity. And like all cheap substitutes it cannot tolerate the original around to show it up. That's all this is.

This reminds me of the Star Wars movie Revenge of the Sith where the newly seduced Anakin Skywalker aka Darth Vader tells Obi-Wan Kenobi "from my point of view it is the Jedi who are evil" even though he knows that not to be true. That's what the leftists who say their conservative fellow Americans are evil are actually doing.

Media Geese and Ganders

This from Daniel Jupp

So looking at Ukraine and Iran together the mainstream position is apparently this:

If a nation has the world’s largest collection of nuclear weapons you should definitely want to go straight to full on war with no negotiations.

If a nation is developing a nuclear weapon it shows every indication it would use against you, you should never ever go to war with it and keep negotiating while it develops the nuclear weapon.

Am I clear on how the logic of this works?

Altering Climate History

Timothy Birdnow

This is interesting. It was posted on my Facebook page:

I found a serious error in the IPCC framework. The error appears in two places in the AR6. This error completely changed the causation theory because it moved the peak of the current interglacial period from where it's actually happening TODAY to 6500 years ago, which is incorrect. That shift makes it look like the current interglacial period should have been declining for thousands of years, yet temperature is increasing, leading the ENTIRE consensus to believe CO2 was the culprit.

It's not! When you recalibrate based on the ACTUAL RAW DATA, it shows the interglacial period is STILL increasing and is reaching its maximum now!

Meaning, the climate is following the natural orbital patterns of the MILANKOVICH CYCLE and has be the entire time! The IPCC is wrong!

Here are both errors:

1. SPM Figure SPM.1 — the highest-visibility location:

https://www.ipcc.ch/.../chapter/summary-for-policymakers/

This is the Summary for Policymakers page. The specific claim — that the warmest multi-century Holocene period occurred around 6,500 years ago — appears in the caption to Figure SPM.1 on that page. This is the figure shown to policymakers and the public.

2. Chapter 2 FAQ — the plain-language restatement:

https://www.ipcc.ch/.../faqs/IPCC_AR6_WGI_FAQ_Chapter_02.pdf

The FAQ states directly: "Averaged over the globe, surface temperatures of the past decade were probably warmer than when the long cooling trend began around 6500 years ago. If so, we need to look back to at least the previous interglacial period, around 125,000 years ago, to find evidence for multi-centennial global surface temperatures that were warmer than now." IPCC

That is the error in plain text. The phrase "the long cooling trend began around 6500 years ago" is the load-bearing claim. It places the natural peak in the past, making all current warming appear to break outside the natural Holocene range. The Buizert 2021 TS_EDC column — raw NOAA data — shows the present at −54.73°C versus −56.25°C at 7,200 BP. Present is warmer. The cooling trend has not begun. The claim is wrong at the column level.

Scientific Condmenation of IPCC

Timothy Birdnow

Here is a list of scientists who have slammed the IPCC and Climate Change alarmism.

It gives these quotes:

I just posted the first 16 of 46. I thought we had an overwhelming consensus!:

Dr Robert Balling: The IPCC notes that "No significant acceleration in the rate of sea level rise during the 20th century has been detected.” This did not appear in the IPCC Summary for Policymakers.

Dr Lucka Bogataj: "Rising levels of airborne carbon dioxide don’t cause global temperatures to rise…. temperature changed first and some 700 years later a change in aerial content of carbon dioxide followed.”

Dr John Christy: "Little known to the public is the fact that most of the scientists involved with the IPCC do not agree that global warming is occurring. Its findings have been consistently misrepresented and/or politicized with each succeeding report.”

Why isn't the Left Happy about Iran?

Timothy Birdnow

You know, the same people who have railed against oil as an energy source and demanded we get rid of it are now screaming about how the Iran war is driving the price of oil up - just the thing they said they wanted.

What hypocrites.

These same people are working to undercut the President solely on political grounds, so they can win the upcoming elections.

How Goes the War?

Timothy Birdnow

Here is a pretty good analysis on the military situation in the Iran war. Iran seems to be reaching an exhaustion point for their missiles.

They aren't done yet by a long shot but the vast salvo of missiles fired have been winding down considerably and while they keep launching missiles and drones they are launching far fewer than they did at the start of the war.

A friend on Facebook posted a podcast from a fellow claiming we have lost most of our Patriot missile defense systems and can't replace them. This guy argues we lost over half, and that Iran has outsmarted Donald Trump because it will take two years to replace them. He also says we have only taken delivery of 96 such missiles per year. I looked into most of this; it was hogwash. We have lost quite a few - and he's right it was the policy of Iran to try to exhaust our defensive missiles. But he's wrong; we've taken delivery of over 250 per year and can have many more in just a few months. This fellow also argued that the price of oil will go over $150 per barrel because the Strait of Hornuz is closed. This is silly; the Saudis have already MODESTLY increased production, modestly because they don't think they NEED to do more at this time. They can ramp this up as high as they please. We can ramp up our own oil production. And Venezuela will be producing a lot more soon too. This fellow got his numbers by looking at the amount of oil not getting through and simply did static math; he didn't account for increased production at all. Oh, and he quoted Scott Ritter. You remember HIM; he was the guy who warned Saddam had nukes, then changed his tune and said there were none. Hardly a credible source. Oh, and this guy also said 94% of Americans oppose this when in fact an NPR/PBS/Marist poll (which would be biased against the President) had that number in opposition at 56%.

So don't believe everything you come across, especially those predicting doom. This claim we are running out of missiles and are going to lose big time cannot be true or the mainstream media would be crowing about it.

So don't believe any of this doom and gloom, just as we shouldn't believe every brag made by the Administration. The fact is Iran is a Third World country and while they have a lot of missiles and drones they can't keep pace with the U.S., especially with their economy having been boycotted so long. We are going to win this provided we avoid sending troops into the country.

BTW what will happen if Iran should attack Turkey? They are a NATO member state and that would trigger the NATO pact.

The Emtying Hourglass

The Emptying Hourglass

by Timothy Birdnow

3/8/2026

Tick

another moment passes in it's excruciating way

another grain has fallen as a piece of life turns gray

it seems as if the Sahara has dropped today yet I glance at the hourglass and see it is but early day, well before anything worth doing and not time to play

The sun won't show itself to me it seems

the hour feels late but it's barely past my dreams

I kill a minute making coffee without the cream

and the moments pass away one sip after another in an endless stream

Tick

Surely it must be time for lunch

but it's only breakfast

monotony and tedium are but broken for a moment by the preparing of my repast

I feast upon the eggs, which shatter like glass and then die in the pan

the seconds amass like the coffee dregs as I do what I can

Tick

It seems the whole planet Mars should have fallen down the drain

yet barely any seems to drop, more a drizzle than a rain

What can a man say when he is lonely or in pain?

Is the clock broken or is there really so much that remains?

Tick

lunch serves no better; it just kills but a minute

when push comes to crunch you will wait while you're in it

The day is partly done now but there's no way to win it

I kill some more time though this day seems infinite

Maybe after lunch I'll take a long nap

but of course I can't sleep, no way to bridge the gap

between the dropping of the sand which has become such a trap

each second falling like snow in some insane Chinese trap.

Tick

Where does a man's life go, how does he lose so much time even while it passes so very slow?

the ticking of that damnable clock seems eternal but the winds of time blow

and soon the stage will empty, the lights turn off, the end of the show

Tick

It was never this way when she was around

The ticking was silent, there was nary a sound

but all the while the interest did compound

then the all time victor won that final round

Is it time for supper yet?

Before asking that question it seems it was done

and the falling cold sand put out the eyes of the sun

the eve is upon me as the daylight ends her run

and that long empty night that I wish I could shun

Tick

Soon I will sleep for another long night

but the sand is quite deep, falling like snowflakes in flight as they slowly bury the bones of the just and unjust alike leaving us all out of sight

and no man ever won that long war though he might fight

The seconds pass by like snow in the fall

each flake lasts a moment and then that is all

though they drag out forever they're gone in warm weather still they tarry and crawl

and they win in the end, we all sleep in the pall

Tick

One day the sands will finish their labors with groans

and a little engraving will end on the stones

there may be laughter in the eternal hereafter at the seat of the one on His throne

But here the great evil tyrant slowly buries my bones

How About a Cold One...

Timothy Birdnow

Global warming my a, er, backside!

Greenland To -65.3C (-85.5F); Historic Blizzard Buries The Northeast; 2025 Had The Lowest Global Wildfire Emissions On Record; + CO2 Is Not A Pollutant

There was record snowfalls all over the globe this year too, in China, in Turkey, in Azerbaijan, all over.

But we aren't supposed to talk about that. And if we do it's because of planetary heating!

The Gates of Hell

Timothy Birdnow

Bill Gates has funded the Democratic Party with some very big bucks.

The vaccine-crazed Microsoft nerd features prominently in the Epstein files and he has been giving vast sums to the Democrats - to the tune of fifty million to Kamala Harris alone.

Epstein Linked Billionaire Bankrolled Democratic Party Records Show

The Democrats have always been the party of billionaires despite their pretense of being the party of the working man.

The amount donated to Harris was through the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation as well as the maximum limit for Gates personally.

There were many, many more examples. Read the article.

Nice Work When You Can Get It

Timothy Birdnow

Los Angeles want to make the minimum wage thirty dollar an hour,, essentially paying unemployables almost as much asjourneyman plumbers or school teachers make per year for no-skill jobs.

Of course the end result is these jobs will be eliminated because the labor provided isn't worth this sort of coin.

Hell; I might have to get a job at McDonalds out there!

They are batcrap crazy in California and the fact that people are leaving the Golden State only makes them double down.

Republican Quislings

Timothy Birdnow

When the prophet Nehemiah rebuilt the walls of Jerusalem after the Jews returned from their Babylonian exile he faced very stiff opposition. Samaritans didn't want this to happen because they were wandering into the city and committing crimes. But a lot of the returning Jews didn't want it either and probably for reasons quite similar to those being given now by the Paleo-right against the war in Iran. Nehemiah had to station guards on the wall and used more manpower guarding than he did for labor. There were people sabotaging the effort.

How is it Trump's situation is any different from Nehemiah's? Trump is trying to keep us safe as Nehemiah was trying to keep Jerusalem safe.

GOP Unease Grows Over Risk of 'Forever War' With Iran

Like a dog returns to it's vomit the GOP returns to it's self-destructive ways. Because we got burned by George W. Bush and his nation-building schemes we think that is a general principle and we can NEVER fight under any circumstance. But the reality is, as Rush Limbaugh used to say, this is a world governed by the aggressive use of force. If we don't do it they will do it to us. Anyone who has ever been a schoolkid and had to deal with a bully should know that.

This is why the Republicans are usually the losers. They refuse to stick together.

In addition to Thomas "Kentucky Sour Mash" Massie and Warren Davidson, the Ohio Browneye, er, Buckeye we have:

Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn., told The Hill Saturday he is "concerned” the operation could become an endless conflict, urging voters to "stay concerned” and "be vigilant.”

"Hold our feet to the fire. Keep us honest on that issue,” Burchett said.

Rep. Kevin Kiley, R-Calif., who faces a competitive reelection race, said the "best possible outcome” would be an "expeditious and effective fulfillment of the mission.”

Rep. Don Bacon, R-Neb., said Congress may need to revisit a war powers vote if the operation stretches on.

"If it’s going to go long, I think by definition, you got to have a war powers resolution and seek our support,” Bacon told the outlet. "I don’t think I’d want to vote for another Iraq thing again, be there for 20 years.”

This sort of meddling with foreign policy itself, as opposed to letting the President handle this crisis then looking at this, speaks volumes. NOT that they don't have a duty to advise and consent, but that they would openly talk about joining the Democrats at this critical time. If they were just talking among themselves it would be another matter. These clowns went public.

Which means they are trying to triangulate to please voters in their districts and curry favor with the media. This is not principled so much as strategic triangulation.

It is disgraceful.

Time was politics ended at the shore and during any war there was perhaps criticisms of how they are executed but never threats against the prosecution of that war, nor threats to defund it. The Democrats started that with Vietnam and it's now in their DNA. But the Republicans are morphing into Democrats and have been for a long time.

Why second-guess the President now, during the heat of battle? Trump is on record saying he won't put boots on the ground (I am soooo sick of that phrase) and I believe him. He doesn't need to. And as our friend Mike pointed out, Trump probably will be able to get Arabian sandels on the ground there instead.

Yes, we will have SHOES on the ground eventually, as Trump will go into the country after the theocracy falls with businessmen and advisers and whatnot. But not with boots; we are not going to occupy Iran as we did Iraq. Colin Powell's "you break it you buy it" was nonsense and it cost us. We didn't need to buy anything.

But this situation was untenable with Iran and this had to happen at some point. Trump isn't a guy to kick cans down the road; he's a doer, not a talker.

So why speculate about something that isn't likely to happen anyway, and this while the crisis is upon us?

Again, it's disgraceful. These are legislators from his own party, not some schlubs on social media.

I wouldn't be upset if each and every one of these jackasses were primaried.

Yes, Illegals Vote

Timothy Birdnow

An illegal alien voted in five presidential elections despite what Democrats and the media have insisted never happens.

FBI Director Kash Patel

@FBIDirectorKash

The FBI and our partners arrested an individual illegally in the U.S., charged with voting in the last 5 presidential elections - each time falsely claiming he was a U.S. citizen to vote

How many others are out there and have been voting all along? I am sure they are legion.

Oh, the guy is named Mahady Sacko and he's from Mauritania. He even voted after being given deportation orders.

Cutting the Federal Workforce

Timothy Birdnow

Trump and DOGE shrunk the government and did so without seriously disrupting anyone's life or livelihood.

According to Fox Snooze:

President Donald Trump and the Department of Government Efficiency's (DOGE) efforts to reduce the federal government's workforce were seemingly reflected in recently released data from the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM).

The OPM's data shows that the government's civilian workforce shrank by 12% between September 2024 and January 2026, going from a headcount of 2,313,216 to 2,035,344.

Separate data, also released by the OPM, shows that the majority of employees who left during that time did so voluntarily rather than being forced out, Reuters reported. The outlet also noted that administrative staff, customer service representatives and IT managers were at the top of the list of positions that left once Trump returned to office.

Granted, that is just spitting in the ocean, but it was a great start. Hopefully he'll shrink it by over fifty percent by the time he leaves office.

I wish Musk would have stayed on for the fight; he was the driving force behind DOGE and thus behind the whold thing.

Why Trump will Fail in Iran; a Christian Perspective

Timothy Birdnow

As this is Sunday I thought I'd give my take on the Iran war from my Catholic point of view.

It will fail.

Oh, not militarily and perhaps not even politically, but it will fail because it is the key to the prophecies of Revelation. When Armageddon is positioning there will be four distinct coalitions at war who will meet in the Kidron Valley aka Har Meggido. One will be the King of the South, which would likely be the Arabic world. The second is Gog and Magog who are actually the most obvious to us as Gog and Magog were tribes that lived on the north shore of the Black Sea in ancient times and that is clearly Russia. Magog was an associated tribe, a vassal of Gog, which tells you that the Russian sphere of influence would be pretty much the same and would be one of the four power blocks in the final battle. Third is the Antichrist's kingdom, which is not assigned a position on the compass. That makes sense if we assume it is the so-called Western World, which includes places like Australia and the U.S. and Canada in addition to Europe. The Antichrist aka the Beast is a man who leads this coalition of the damned and it is made clear who it is because it is described as having "seven hills" which is clearly Rome. It is a revived Roman Empire. But that doesn't mean it is an actual Roman Empire with emperors and proconsuls and the like, but rather the spirit of the empire, meaning a pagan mix of expansive government and military might. The final participant is "the King of the East".

The king of the East isn't identified but who could it be? If Iran isn't the king itself it certainly is going to be WITH the king because Iran is due east of Israel. When the King of the East comes with an army of 200,000,000 men as the Bible predicts he will pass through Iran, no question.

So what would motivate such a king to send so large an army?

Right now we are strangling China with the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and while they are not yet desperate (remember, they were stockpiling oil for the last few months which suggests they knew this was coming) but if they were to BECOME desperate they would perhaps decide to open that strait by force. They simply have to have that oil. China has believed this is their century, and they aren't going to let that dream evaporate. They need oil, they need a clear path to the Mediterranean, and they need a big military victory to prove they aren't just a maker of cheap goods.

China is what actually starts Armageddon, or at least it's the Chinese invasion that lights the fuse.

I can see them doing this. And I can see everyone else moving in to stop the Chicoms. And I can see Russia riding to China's aid because otherwise they would be next if the West decided to fight.

So is this about to happen now? Are we on the cusp of the Parousia? (That's Second Coming for those who don't know the word.)

I think not. There are missing elements. For instance, there has to be a number of plagues first, and while we've had a few we haven't had the real nasty ones yet - like two separate "stars" falling form Heaven, one a fireball and the other a bringer of plague which poisons a third of the waters. We also haven't had the revealing of the antichrist and I know some folks try to squeeze Trump into that role, but REALLY! Trump is fighting for Christ's Church even if he is not a perfect man while the opposing side fights to reject Christ's Church. But there's more; Trump isn't interested in conquest. And the new economic order with a cashless system that works off of a "mark" on your hand or forehead has not come yet. And Trump did not come into office in an unlawful manner as the Antichrist is described as doing in the Book of Ezekial. There are other signs that have yet to be fulfilled. Oh, and Trump may like the girls but he is not homosexual, which the Bible suggests the Antichrist would be, saying he foregoes the natural use of women. And then there is the miracle where the Antichrist has a mortal head wound but miraculously recovers.

So this means Trump is fighting a battle that he may win but it won't remove the poison from Iran; it will remain there until the battle is enjoined in some fashion. But he might stabilize things for a while, which is often all you can do.

But it's coming and Iran will be a part of the King of the East, no question.

Another thing; the Old Testament predicts that the Tigris and Euphrates rivers will dry up miraculously so the King of the East may cross with all his men. That is a contingency plan the Turks drew up in the event of a major war in the region - diverting the headwaters of those rivers to dry up the land.

So the alignment is all set and the players are largely in place. But there are a few things that need to happen first.

What happens when Donald Trump is gone? If the Democrats take back power they will rig the system so they never lose again, I assure you. And if we should have another dope like Joe Biden this could get very sticky indeed. And if we should get a monster in sheep's clothing? It could then be doomsday.

But not yet.

Norway Embassy Bombed

Timothy Birdnow

Somebody bombed the U.S. Embassyi in Oslo during the wee hours of the night, but there were no casualties.

This tells us that the sleeper cells are activating but they don't have much to activate in the way of competent military capabilities.

But don't get too comfortable; Biden let a LOT of Iranians into the country and they are probably working to coordinate some sort of domestic attack on us, probably one that is quite nasty. Watch the soft targets; amusement parks, for instance, or hospitals, and of course schools are always easy pickings.

I do not expect Iran's regime to go down without a fight. That there has been no really major attack suggests they aren't ready to fall just yet and are waiting for their moment. Attacking us indiscriminately would cause a political backlash here and if the Mullahs know anything at all about the U.S. they would understand they cannot afford that. You don't beat Americans by pissing them off. You beat Americans by wearing them down over time.

The Iranian strategy of terrorizing their neighbors to get them out of the fight was foolish and has failed. Now they are going to have no choice but bribg the fight to us. I expect more of this in short order.

That's why these three Mullahs issued fatwahs against us recently; they need to put a religious impramateur on attacks on the U.S. Before that most Muslim Iranians wouldn't risk their lives in attacks; now they are required to in order to go to Islamic heaven and get their 72 virgins and a mule. (Does anyone else think that having 72 wives would be more like Hell than Heaven? It's like the Star Trek episode where the Enterprise was taken by a race of androids and a man named Harry Mud was their leader. In the end they reprogrammed the androids and left Mud in their care - and built at least five hundred copies of his nagging shrew of a wife to keep him company for the rest of his days. Sounds like what these Islamic martyrs will get. At any rate just keeping up with servicing 72 women would be exhausting an lead to genital inflammation and the joy of it would turn to agony. I believe God gives you what you want - be careful what you wish for.)

Strategic Assassinations

This from Mike:

Me thinks Trump intentionally took out the IRGC leadership before demanding an unconditional surrender knowing there would no clear leader to surrender. Yesterday the powerless President of Iran declared they would no longer target their neighbors and today the IRGC is targeting their neighbors. Invasion of Iran as in boots on the ground could come from these neighbors leaving the US as advisors and giving air support and free Israel to finish the job in Lebanon as the President of Lebanon wants hezbollah gone. That would only leave the IRGC being protected by the UK and living in the UK to deal with.
