Trump ..."Do I drive them into hell with no chance of survival?"...

That is inflammatory rhetoric (click here) that sets everyone's hair on fire. There is only one thing that describes I find it disgusting. The war with Iran was completely unprovoked and now Trump is playing games with ideology he doesn't understand and trivializes. 

Iran was brave in taking the stage. The country does not cower at Trump's empty diplomacy or words of hate. Iran has the higher moral ground. Iran has a right to defend itself.

When realizing the vicious attacks that have occurred by the USA over time of the Shia the method of the diaspora/crescent is correct. The Crescent protects them. The Shia Crescent allows the Shi'ites to be dispersed and protected by a larger area and living among others of different faith. I guess the proper way of thinking about that now is that the Crescent did protect them through diverse living among other faiths. I believe the the people of the Shia Crescent now believes they are no longer safe and peace is a danger.

It is wrong to hate the Shi'ites. It is wrong to hate their lineage. If Israel ever had a goal of expansion for the sake of their own safety, it is now being met by those they sought to displace and a religion they sought to destroy.

The destruction from the initial effects—shockwaves, thermal (heat) energy, and initial radiation—expands in a circular pattern. Severe shockwave damage could extend to about a half mile. Severe thermal damage would extend out about a mile. Flying debris could extend up to a few miles. Initial (prompt) nuclear radiation for a 10-Kt blast could expose unprotected people within about 3/4 mile of the explosion site to lethal radiation dose. Radioactive fallout occurs in an irregular elliptical pattern in the direction the wind blows; lethal radiation could extend up to 6 miles.

Major Watson sounded the call to alert of danger. He was right. We need him back on the job.

I hope his attorney is paying attention. The Major is being ignored and NEGLECTED. Nothing better happen to him.

The US Air Force (click here) is shutting down a major research centre dedicated to open-source analysis of the Chinese military’s air, space, cyber and missile capabilities.

The China Aerospace Studies Institute (CASI) said in a statement on Tuesday that Air University, the US Air Force institution under which it operates, had decided to close the institute, with all of its roles becoming unfunded from October 1.

CASI said its employees would continue to work and get paid for now and that it expected to honour its existing commitments “through at least March of 2027”....

WASHINGTON — The Air Force has revealed (click here) that the service will achieve a years-long goal of producing 1,500 pilots annually, a target that officials say is critical to reduce a shortfall of over 2,000 aviators.

But even if the Air Force can keep up that tempo for the foreseeable future, it will be “quite some time” until the service’s pilot shortage is resolved, the Air Force’s top training officer said Sept. 15.

“I can’t erase that pilot deficit in a short period of time,” Lt. Gen. Clark Quinn, the head of Air Education and Training Command, said in a roundtable with reporters on the sidelines of the Air & Space Forces Association conference.

Predicting how long it would take to make up the existing shortage is complicated by unpredictable retention rates driven in large part by fluctuating economic conditions, Quinn reasoned. Additionally, most of the current pilot shortfall is in staff positions, held by people well into their careers. That means replenishing those positions will take a considerable amount of time.

“It’s going to take 15 or 20 years to get those types of people. I can make them today, but those jobs won’t be filled for quite some time,” the general said. “I do know that if we don’t make 1,500, we’re never going to get that number down.”...

Good for Governor Pritzker. 

GLP-1 is a bit of a miracle drug. It really does effect the A1c and bring it into more normal ranges. But, the weight loss is not guaranteed and it did not happen by itself because Gov was on an injectable medication. Governor Pritzker applied the education given to him by his doctor and nurses and addressed the weight problem and he won. It is not easy to do even with GLP-1 and I congratulate him.

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker (click here) Monday that he was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes two years ago and began taking a GLP-1 medication, resulting in an 80-pound weight loss that he says has transformed his health and daily life.

The disclosure marks the first time the Democrat has publicly disclosed that he has diabetes, as well as officially acknowledging that he is on GLP-1 medication, which is prescribed both for diabetes treatment and weight loss. The governor told CBS News he started taking the medication after doctors warned that he would likely need insulin for the rest of his life....
