How Long Until Iran Runs Out Of Firepower?

Who's There? 

Putin.

The US-Israeli war on Iran entered a sixth day with little sign of easing, as the Islamic Republic vowed to intensify its retaliation and oil extended gains.

Arab states across the Middle East — as well as Israel — reported interceptions of Iranian missiles and drones into Thursday, with Qatar telling residents to remain indoors due to the high level of threat. Tehran said it struck an oil tanker in the Persian Gulf, underlining the risk to shipping in the energy-rich region.

He's Dying To Fire Off A Nuke

White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller on Wednesday defined President Trump’s “America First” policy as meaning that the U.S. will be an “unmatched power in the world.”

“The president has made clear that he believes America’s awesome military might should be used to protect and defend America’s interests,” he told Fox News’s Sean Hannity in an interview, after the host said people did not “think that people understand the Trump doctrine is not isolationism.”

“Cuba’s going to fall, too,” the president told Dasha Burns in a Thursday phone interview.

Trump insisted “people are loving” the U.S. and Israeli strikes against Iran — which have taken out high-ranking leaders, including the country’s supreme leader — despite polling showing large disapproval or mixed responses.

Hegseth Said This Is Not A Regime Change War. He May Be Right.
The son of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has emerged as the leading contender to take over as his successor.

Mojtaba Khamenei, the second son of the former Supreme Leader, who was killed in an air strike on Saturday, is being considered by the regime’s senior clerics to be the next supreme leader, according to The New York Times.

Let's be clear: the U.S. had a deal that could have prevented Iran from getting a nuclear weapon.

The Adventures of Taco the Chihuahua 🐕

This morning Taco gave me that bark...LET ME OUT! THERE'S A DOG! NOW!!!

He was rabid. So I opened the door and he raced out to my fenced porch, furiously looking for the dog. Suddenly the dog appears, totally ignores Taco. The dog was Rio, my neighbor's dog, who rarely visits. Nice dog. Taco starts screaming as though he was being murdered. Screaming. SCREAMING MORE! It scared everyone. Neighbors came out to see what the commotion was. Even the other dogs, Loki and Sacha, galloped over to see what happened.  ¿qué pasó?

Never underestimate the power of a chihuahua.

Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) pressed Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to apologize to the families of Renee Good and Alex Pretti for implying the two were domestic terrorists.

In the wake of the killings, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) repeatedly floated that immigration officers were responding to domestic terrorism, in the case of Good, saying she used her car as a weapon.

I’m still laughing at how Hillary Clinton ate James Comer’s lunch, schooled Anna Paulina Luna, put Lauren Boebert in her place, and just overall dominated her deposition in front of the House Oversight Committee.

She owned them, and it was glorious. - Art Candee
