Good morning kids. So, pun intended Trump went ballistic on Iran and Israel vis a vis this so-called ceasefire. Continuing on from yesterday’s editorial/rant a few things to consider. Supreme Leader Khamenei insisted publicly that “Iran will never surrender to the enemies of Islam.” But the regime’s behavior contradicts this. And after Donald Trumps announcement there…
On April 15, 2019, Notre Dame de Paris, one of the glories of Western culture, burned. Not to the ground, but the devastation was a shock. The magnificent spire, or flèche, was destroyed, as was the wooden supporting structure of the lead roof, which collapsed. Seeing the destruction soon after the fire was a depressing…
Good morning kids. So, President Trump has announced that there is a ceasefire between Iran and Israel. 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….
Good morning kids. Well, what’s done is done, and now come the repercussions and ramifications both geopolitically and domestically. Since Israel decided to strike at the head of the snake in the wake of the October 7th attacks from Iran’s proxy army Hamas in Gaza, the potential for direct American involvement against Iran was always…
Good morning kids.

From sports stadium subsidies to redevelopment zones to ridiculous subsidies for favored industries like “Green Energy” and EVs, the only people…
Good morning kids. from friend and friend of he blog Bob Zimmerman whose daily links from his own excellent Behind the Black dot-com website make him our sort of unofficial science reporter, comes the late breaking news that during a static test firing of a new Starship rocket at Boca Chica, a massive explosion took place. …
Should America join the fun in Iran, masks on cops? NYC mayoral candidate beclowns himself, Tucker Carlson is an idiot, rare earth mining subsidies? and more!
Good morning kids. So with things really heating up over Iran as well as here at home, both situations put the sudden rushing to the hospital last night of Kristi Noem, the head of our Department of Homeland Security, into a new light. It could be just a freaky coincidence, but the timing could not…
Fordow, the underground facility where most of Iran’s centrifuges are hidden is the key to destroying their nuclear weapons program. It is under a mountain, supposedly 300 feet deep, and therefore very, very difficult to destroy with conventional bombs. Israel has the GBU-28, which is a 5,000 pound “bunker buster,” but it is thought to…
