The campaign in Iran is necessary for a variety of reasons. It is also justifiable under fair Just War evaluations. There are critical objectives that must be met: 1. Totally destroy Iran's nuclear capacity. I extend that to any so-called peaceful nuclear energy use. Iran is not trustworthy with any nuclear capacity whatsoever. 2. Totally access in and around the Strait of Hormuz. Whether this takes the form of escort of ships and annihilation of any opposition any time it appears, or whether it requires actual control of the Iranian side of the land mass, it is a necessary objective....

Has anyone put Openclaw on their MacOS? It seems beyond my skill set.

Thought I would start a thread about voter experiences today in Illinois. Were there any major delays in opening the polls at 6:00 AM? Were there any problems with the equipment setup or equipment malfunctioning? I had neither, but what I did notice is this time around signing for an in person ballot changed. Instead of signing a paper log book, I had to do an iPad scribble...

By possibly telling the Iranians that President Trump did NOT want to attack Iran, did that give Iranian officials the confidence they could get together for a big meeting, the meeting in which the Ayatollah and other Iranian bigwigs got hit with a massive bombing resulting in the termination of the Ayatollah and many/most at the top including the severe wounding/death of the Son of the Ayatollah aka the Cardboard Ayatollah?Here is more detail of that scenario:This photo is hilarious in hindsight.Trump knew Tucker was talking to Iran.So he invites him to the Oval Office before the strike… knowing Tucker...

We need to wakeup Senator John Thune. The Save America Act is America's last Chance. If he could get it passed he would become a hero. This bill is common sense. If the democrats win again, Filibuster is gone. If he loves America, he needs to make this his number one passion. Any ideas to wakeup him up. I mean not to say how bad he is but how to change his mind. Maybe a march for Thune. Real ideas, please. Please pray that God would change his mind.

This morning I went to buy gas in Los Angeles. The price at the pump per gallon was as follows:Unleaded ... $5.3999Plus ... $5.4999Premium ... $5.5999Yet some people here are complaining about gas in their states being $3.50 or $3.60.

I'm wondering if anyone has experience with 'dumb' flip phones, the kind they suggest for seniors. My husband recently bought us fancy new 'smart' phones, and it's the first one I've had in ten years. It's huge and much more complicated than anything I've used before. As I've been figuring it out, I've thought I'd like to supplement it with something smaller, simpler and faster when I'm out-and-about, something that just does phone calls, texts, and maybe has a radio, and fits in my pocket. We've been looking at Jitterbug, Iris and some others; does anyone have experience with these...

Today is my favorite day of the year. For tonight we gain an extra hour of daylight! In Boston for example, the sun sets at 5:44pm tonight. But tomorrow night, that same sun sets at 6:45pm! The result of this phenomenon is that the snow will be melted off the roofs within 48 hours! Within a week, the snow will be melted entirely. Chickens will be laying more eggs and the crops will begin to grow. Hail Daylight Savings time and welcome spring!

Job 23:10-11 (King James Version) But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold. My foot hath held his steps, his way have I kept, and not declined. Listening to the Buggy Whip Press explaining the Iran attacks to the American people is like watching a monkey typing Shakespeare. Trump has such an amazing gift of exposing everyone for exactly who they are and what they are not. Nobody believes them or listens to them since they know the standard reporting will be Trump bad Iran good, so why listen...

For those who have tons more knowledge than me of the Navy and militaria - Watching the videos of our Navy ships launching missiles, I note each ship is flying a larger than normal American flag up on their top most mast. Some one told me once that when a ship is at war, the flag is flown as high as possible as a warning signal to other ships in the area "This ship is at war, stand clear!" Is that what I am seeing? Thanks

Does any one remember a post from many years ago that fits this description. The Setting: A man is in his study/living room at night, reading by lamplight. * The Visitor: A man appears suddenly. He is gaunt, weary, and dressed in strange or rugged clothing. He reveals he is a descendant of the man he is visiting. * The Warning: He describes a total collapse of American civilization. He explains that there is a way to stop it, but it requires a specific, seemingly mundane change in the present. * The Cryptic Ending: In the final moments, the visitor...

Genesis 12:1-3 King James Version 12 Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee: 2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: 3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. Only God would have Israel save Iran from the false prophet’s cult...

Been getting a lot of 500 errors and other issues, as many have noted, and site slowing down notably. Please reboot the server!

I mean…it’s been a rough week for them. A huge cash flow for their elections just got eradicated, apparently. Are investigations in their future?

I have yet another(!) electronics' modification project going, and ran across a slight dilemma: None of my several "Security Bit" sets have a bit that fits the Tri-Point (or "Y") screw heads in the gear to be modified, even though 2 sets do have Tri-Point bits. However, I found this screwdriver set on Amazon: https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/5113Evt3D0L._AC_SL1000_.jpg The question is, looking at that image, are those the correct diameters for the "Y" designation given? Basically, the 3mm for example, would be very close to the circumference of the outer circle the "fins"* of the bit would define. I ask this question because...

..without disks? It's a unique program that I bought ~30 years ago. PC Study Bible. I bought the original version and have paid for the upgrades plus optional add ons. The owner/operator passed and PC Study Bible ceased to exist. Now I want the ability to transfer the program in its entirety from one PC to another.

Certainly by now there must be one or more summaries published, applicable to Rep. Ilhan Omar, of allegations that could lead to Omar's de-naturalization with regard to citizenship. We are looking for such summaries. We believe the allegation that Ilhan Omar and a blood brother of hers did apply for a marriage license and did follow through with a filing of a certificate of marriage, and that they did so to commit immigration fraud, allowing Ilhan a residence status in the United States. So, marrying her own brother for the purpose of committing immigration fraud would be one item in...

I was hoping that this would resolve itself but it has not….. Yesterday, a post was put up on FR and I wanted to see more than just the provided excerpt, so I clicked on the source link.Ever since I did that, every tab that gets opened on my iPad (Safari browser) to an FR forum or page/post, the new tab has the number 2 in white with a blue background preceding the FR forum name or article title.The number font and coloring is identical to the news station’s (2 Idaho News) logo that was used as the source link.Here...

I'll go first.
