Oh, I didn't let you guys know... I actually ended up returning the 14" MacBook Pro and opting for the 16" variety. I was wrong... I missed having a bigger screen. Sure, it's less portable, so either way you're compromising in one dimension or another, but this a great little powerhouse: ...

So great.

66 and cloudy here. Headed to a peak of 70.

In my hometown it's actually been unseasonably cold and rainy. It was hot for a few days, like spring/summer had arrived in force, but now it's colder and wetter than it was in March. It's much needed though, as our province has been experiencing a lot of wildfires along with the associated smoke. ...

I love hot humid weather. I think it’s supposed to rain today, right on the No Kings marchers.

But providentially will not rain on the Washington D.C. waste of money parade?

Conclusion: 10. Now comes the strategic phase. It’s obvious that the U.S. and Israel are playing **good cop, bad cop** with Iran. Israel strikes. Meanwhile, President Trump says, “I’m ready to sign a deal.” It’s the same model Israel proposed regarding Hezbollah: The U.S. pushed for a deal *before* ...

Finally, one of the few times I agreed with Trump in what he wrote today. What was that? I am truly shocked that Trump can write so many words in which I am full support and cannot criticize anything in it! But I have a bias in that I'm one of those "Israel can do no wrong" people. Captur...

That Israel was able to do all they did shows what a mismatch it is between Iran and Israel. Israel can count on different forms of powerful backing from the United States. What effective support does Iran have from anywhere? While not exactly the US’s counterpart, Iran *is* the support. It *is* th...

When a terrorist state keeps trying to kill you while chanting "Death to America" and "Death to Israel", you either do something about it

Or you have a death wish

Israel is doing something about it

When your enemy can kill your entire General Staff in seconds after bloodlessly disabling all your air defenses, you should consider not attempting to develop a nuclear program.

BREAKING: Iran confirms Israel has killed:

– IRGC Commander-in-Chief Hossein Salami
– Strategic Commander Gholam-Ali Rashid
– Nuclear scientist Dr. Tehranchi (linked to weapons testing)
– Ex-Atomic Energy chief Fereydoon Abbasi

Iran to declare war Israel.

Paul C. Jeffries @PaulJeffries Apparently as Israeli official said the timing was urgent because they were imminently advancing on trigger and other elements of the package. I saw some folks asking about that. I am not an expert but since people are asking, here is some explanation and speculation. ...

So must be this:

Then this:
