"We hosted that Iranian ship. They disarmed for our naval exercise. Then America attacked."

India's ex-FM just exposed the setup.

The UK stays silent when our "allies" pull stunts like this.

UPDATE: Iran has destroyed a $300M radar system that directs U.S. missile defense batteries in the Gulf. Per Bloomberg, “this risks further straining the region’s ability to counter future attacks.”

They’ve actually destroyed two, I believe.

It’s not looking too good, huh?

The New Yorker Kristi Noem will be remembered as the most incompetent Secretary in the 23-year history of the D.H.S. now

I don’t think the incompetence actually is going to be what Kristi Noem is remembered for.

It will be the killings, the lawlessness, and the grift, if I had to guess.

Fishtopher, a classic brown tabby cat with green eyes, laying on a large white comforter. His body is compact and curled up, but his head is slightly lifted up and looking at the camera. His ears point outward slightly, giving off a bit of an annoyed expression at being woken up.

DOJ admits 47,635 Epstein files — including Trump allegations — were removed Justice Department expects to restore missing documents that were taken offline for review

Pam Bondi needs removing NOW!

47,635 Epstein Files removed because they implicated Donald Trump.

This is outrageous. Pam Bondi is the epitome of pedophile protector.

But at least they’re interviewing Hillary. 🙃

Five on Friday with Rosie Hendry @hendry_rosie Today I'm delighted to feature author Rosie Hendry. Her heartwarming stories are inspired by historical records, where gems of social history are often to be found. Her interest in the WWII era was sparked by her father’s many tales of growing up at that time. Rosie’s novel, The Mother’s Day Club, won the 2022 Romantic Novelists’ Association (RNA) award for historical romantic sagas, and isthe first of her books set at Rookery House during wartime. Her East End Angels series set in the London Blitz, has been described as ‘Historical fiction at its very best!’.

Fewer Than 2% Of Older Pedestrians Can Cross The Street In Time The length of the green signal on pedestrian crossings assumes that people can walk at a speed of 1.2 m/s. Scientists find that very few older people can walk that fast.

My March story for @forbes.com has just gone live. It's all about pedestrian crossings and how the timings they're based on no longer match the demographics of our cities ⚛️🧪👩‍🔬

My ICQ UIN is 7231680. That number is burned into my consciousness. I inadvertently learned that you could see private conversations in public chat rooms when using Telnet instead of a browser on GeoCities. I can tell you the difference in audible dial-up handshakes between 1200, 2400, 14.4 kbps modems. I needed a edu email address to join Facebook after my university was admitted.

The US lethal attack on a girls school in Minab, that killed about 180 mostly young girls, will forever been connected by the world with Pete Hegseth's pronouncement that "we won't be following any stupid rules of engagement." It's a war crime plain and simple.

Going against maritime law. America is, together with multiple other actions, showing it is as much a rogue state as any of its "enemies of the day".
