Time is running.

Who? A sovereign enemy. Which sovereign enemy would benefit from knowledge that was state of the art 20 to 30 years ago? 

NASA and the USA military need to put their heads together to find the common denominator if one exists. I doubt these kidnappings were random.

What were each of the scientists involved in? What impact were their projects having within their agencies? Who were their supervisors? Who would their expertise benefit and why? 

Common denominators no matter how trivial.  My guess is the information, when compiled into a data base with AI applied would result not only in a recreation of the past, but, a trajectory into the future. 

A+B=C

Allies should be brought into these awarenesses. Did the scientists have contact with scientists outside the USA in the past or recently? 

What were any collaborations with communists that might be looking for missing pieces?

Artificial Intelligence is applied here. They need the scientists to steal memories. Have any family members maintained contact?

Any CEOs with an interest in filling in details?

Iran is the military drone experts now.

Forget nuclear deterrence, how is the USA going to defeat the best of their own technology?

The USA drone pilots are off site and get over confident with Hegemony Hegseth believing his own hubris that absolutely no other country comes close to the USA. Wrong!

Look at their faces.

That is a reasonably happy child. It is important to realize the people in Iran and Lebanon are human beings with all the emotion and will to live as strong as people who live elsewhere. This is important. They are not monsters. They want peaceful lives. Let’s hope Israel and the USA leadership is capable of providing the peace these people deserve.

Wow. What a great Pope.

He is not taking a backseat to the reality of today. I really like this guy. He is reclaiming God and those who speak for God.

Pope Leo is not asking pretty please to elevate humanity.

China had no problems in the Persian Gulf.

There is no grand bargain, you jackass!

China moved easily past the blockade. No different than Russian oil into Cuba. The world is against Trump. None of this is good news. Major military powers are already pushing Hegseth around. And Senate Republicans do nothing. Trump is not simply disrupting the global economy, he is destroying it. The Republicans do nothing. The world is meeting. This is not good news. The Republicans do nothing. 

This is dangerous. This is very dangerous.

Does Trump get it? I don’t think he gets it. Maybe Miller needs to wake up to the global crisis he is causing? This is not a game. This is real. There is no strategy that legally allows what is proceeding right now. 

Xi Jinping is not happy. Take that seriously!

The globe is moving METHODICALLY. They are not Trump. They aren’t Netanyahu with their hand in the throttle 24/7. They are muscle, not guts.

Iran is not afraid of threats. All the huffing and puffing amounts to nothing.

Diesel

Diesel fuel is at least $5.50 per gallon but in most cases is approaching $6.00.

The longer the Republicans allow the disruptions in the Middle East the worst it will get. 

The Persian Gulf, including the strait, was doing much better before Trump started his “Father Knows Best” routine.

Trump listens to no one and the Republicans are even worse. 

Iran will negotiate but not through intimidation.

Iranian dissidents should be allowed to occupy Kharg Island and given jobs to rebuild it with a small town there. The jobs can be paid for by USA reparations. It would be more productive than prison.

Iranian Dissidents

Iran needs to take a lesson from China who turned their dissidents peacefully into assets. 

We are okay. We are still “We the people…”

The Navy can’t remain at sea forever.

It is blasphemy. Definitively.

Thank you, Joe Scarborough. What a wonderful and insightful reply to such derogatory politics. It was beautiful, Joe.

No USA president has a right to attack a Pope.

Pope Leo carries the lives of all the people of this Earth regardless of their faith in his heart. His day to day burden is incredible. Every Pope in my life beginning with Pope John XXIII has guided morality and compassion. There is no hate in their heart.

It is shameful, as if Trump cares, for a USA president to attack any Pope living or dead. Pope Leo is above reproach and that is all any president needs to know. 

Donald John Trump owes Pope Leo an apology. Asking for forgiveness will do Trump a world of good. Pope Leo is an American. He is a man of accomplishment to be proud of.

Charlie Kirk Case

I read something about the ballistics of the bullet not matching the gun. The FBI better have good forensics on that roof top. With the lack of DNA evidence there is no case. There are no witnesses. The DNA evidence will be strong but still circumstantial.

I will give you my take on this. 

The wound Mr. Kirk suffered was an assassin’s wound. The bullet severed the jugular vein. There is no rescuing that. Holding pressure isn’t going to do much good. It is a large vein that drains deoxygenated blood from the head, brain, and face. It was a fatal shot. 

That shot, unless it was a lucky chance by an amateur, was carried out by a marksman. The knowledge of anatomy enters the picture. That is not a kid with ideas. That is a practiced marksman.

My question is why would anyone want to kill the guy? He was a wiseass Republican with dictatorial discourse that young Republicans found entertaining. They tried to mimic him because he made money at it. My best guess is that someone was jealous of him. Not for his wife, but, for his success. Who would be so jealous of him stealing the Republican limelight his death would be desirable to hire an assassin? I am not convinced it was a rooftop. It was a precision shot.

Straits of Hormuz

The Persian Gulf was seeing uninhibited ship traffic until the peace talks were abandoned by Trump. As soon as the peace talks broke down ships began to navigate away from the Persian Gulf. 

There is no indication of mines in the Gulf.

The allies don’t see the Gulf as a problem. That is why they are not participating in silly blockades.

There won’t be any ship traffic because the shipping companies worry more about the USA than Iran. The USA always has its finger on the trigger. That is the issue. It is the USA complicating the entire picture with Iran.

I don’t see peaceful use of nuclear energy as a hurdle. The IAEA would have to be involved as the damage to Iran’s infrastructure is so extensive. They would need experts assessing the return to the use of nuclear power.

The uranium used for peaceful power is different. When the talks broke down the holds on Iran using enrichment for military use broke down as well. The Trump administration is dangerous in it’s inconsistent policies and dictatorial style of foreign affairs.

It is time to move the Prime Minister’s trial along.

It is also time to dissolve the war cabinet. His corruption trial and pending trial of human rights abuses are separate proceedings.

The war does not have the backing of the soldiers.

Giving orders to service members who oppose the killing of innocent people won’t get them anywhere. It is not a military unless the soldiers believe in the fight. American soldiers do not see morality or competence. Some have died because of pure stupidity in Hegseth’s leadership. The soldiers are correct to leave when they aren’t safe from their own leadership.

We do need more angry young Muslim men in the world.

The civilian death toll in Iran alone exceeds 3300 which includes children and the elderly. In Lebanon the death toll is approximately 2000 civilians. These are deaths in a war of choice.

It would be neglect if he didn’t lead.

Prime Minister Carney has garnered the affection of the Canadian people and the loyalty of its Parliament, dare I say at all levels of government. 

Canada must lead in a vacuum of moral leadership. Canada is on the move with rather incredible plans and a future that is bright.

The Canadian people are great people. I look forward to their new and bright future.

…it makes the city better for me, too.

Those statements about money and personal comfort is not a radical statement. Higher taxes on the wealthiest changes nothing about their lifestyle. So, what is the problem when draconian tax cuts hurt the American people? Lower political contributions? That is good for the American people, too.
