ANOTHER OBSERVATION

I have ranted previously about the need to continuously bomb Iranian nuclear sites to bury them under tons of rubble. But it occurred to me that if you have a facility 350 ft underground, you also need to have what I’ll call breathing methods to get above ground. There is no oxygen in a cave 350 feet underground. So the Israeli government needs to target these breathing shafts, Take them out and the people underground will die from lack of oxygen. You know that the Israeli government knows where they are located.

Or maybe in Luke Skywalker fashion drop a bomb down the shaft. Just saying.

OBSERVATION

One of the things that amazes me is the difference between oratory on the left and the right. Can any of you name someone on the left who actually is a competent orator? Schumer can’t put together a sentence without reading it. Jeffieries are Walz and Waters and all the rest are incredibly poor speakers. No one would pay to hear them speak. They suck.

Now compare that to the right. Vance, Ramasway, De Santis, Rubio and Musk are extremely great orators. And Trump is incredible in communicating with the people.

These idiots on the left need to find somebody who isn’t just plain like nails on a chalkboard.

ARMY 250

I had not intended to watch because of the US Open but when the parade came on at 6 I switched over whenever there was a pause in the open, and I have to say I was impressed. Unlike parades in N Korea or China or Iran, nobody was goose stepping. They actually looked more like the troops in Stripes.

And I liked that they had troops dressed in the attire from all the different wars we were in. From the Revolutionary War to Afghanistan. It reminded me of a something that I saw in Daytona a few years ago when they had some event that had vintage planes from the Wright Brothers biplanes to Jap zeros and present day jets. I pretty sure I commented on it at the time and it was awesome.

I enjoyed the tanks rolling with the soldiers waving to the crowd and the crowd waving back. And I found it interesting that in many cases the soldiers in the tanks consisted of a male and a female. I know that the present administration wants to keep women out of combat but they can certainly serve in a tank as well as a man. I don’t think they should be infantry on the ground but in a tank strength etc is irrelevant.

And I caught part if not all of Trump’s speech and it was really good and appropriate. He didn’t talk politics. He just emphasized the deeds of our army. I liked it.

AND SO IT BEGINS

This was inevitable and given that today Iran said clearly that it would not cease enriching uranium, it is not surprising that Israel attacked tonight. And although Trump said that negotiations were ongoing, I believe that was just postering. There is no way that Israel would have done it without approval from Trump. Remember that they were going to strike earlier and Trump didn’t approve.

Now I believe that Iran will not strike US bases because if they do they know that Trump will destroy them.

And there are still concerns that the Israeli government cannot take out some Iranian sites without bunker busting bombs which they don’t have. My view is that they don’t need them. If they continuously bomb these facilities, even if they don’t succeed in taking them out, they can bury them under tons of rubble with no way to get out. Having some kind of nuclear weapon that is buried and can’t get out destroys the threat. What are they going to do blow themselves up? No matter what capacity they have, it useless if they can’t use it.a

HOORAY

Last night I said that the feds should arrest the rioters and charge them with federal crimes so they can’t be let go by the state judicial system. I just heard Pam Bondi say that there are laws that give the feds the power to arrest and prosecute these people and they are doing it. Keep it up until these thugs find out that there is no get out of jail free card. Your ass is going to jail.

LEVIN

As I expected last night he responded to Tucker without naming him and laid out the reasons that Iran is close to the bomb and needs to be stopped, and btw tonight he had General Keene to reinforce his position.

Now I don’t know where Iran is on uranium enrichment but it’s definitely way beyond the level needed for peaceful purposes. And last night he had on someone who said that documents have been uncovered showing that Iran had actual plans for a nuclear weapon — not just plans for enrichment. People uranium enrichment science is really a matter of public information at this time.

However that is not sufficient to make a nuclear weapon. You can’t just take 90 or 100% enriched uranium and put it in a bomb and drop it and get a mushroom cloud. It’s takes very sophisticated techniques to make that happen. Now I believe that I have heard that you could find the necessary science on the internet but I don’t know if that’s true and I’m not about to check it out.

The quickest way to get a visit from the FBI would be to search for how do you build a nuclear weapon.

Trust me it’s complicated and if Iran already has that knowledge then it’s a serious problem. And given that the mullahs have said they will not quit enrichment, I have to go with Levin.

MOSTLY PEACEFUL

The Dems are a one trick pony and Trump is not going to let them get away with it this time. They are replaying the whole 2020 bullshit and this time we are too smart for that. We can all see that it’s mostly violent and everyone of them should be arrested to set an example and make them have a criminal record. Arrest and charge them under federal laws and don’t let the locals release them. Send a message and snip this crap in the bud. Trump had every right to send in the national guard, just as Eisenhower did to escort black students to school in Little Rock to enforce Brown v Board of Education. Keep doing it until they give up!

AUTOPEN

Now that is Trump’s name for Magoo but I’m sticking Magoo because it is an accurate description of former idiot in chief.

Now I know that the Supremes have previously held that autopien signatures are legitimate if in fact the president specifically authorized it. If he didn’t then a whole host of EO’s and pardons etc. are invalid and non binding.

The Republican house and senate are planning on calling many members of the Magoo administration to testify about Magoo’s mental acuity. They haven’t subpoenaed them yet which is ridiculous. Quit being pussies and cut to the chase and get them in and on tv. Also call Jill McBiden and Hunter.

But here’s the most important thing they should do. Subpoena Magoo! He has no immunity and question him live on tv about each pardon and EO he signed. Start off by asking why didn’t he an EO that he actually signed and see if he knows. Ask him why some ridiculous EO’s were signed and let the world see that he is clueless about almost everything he allegedly did in office. I heard tonight that one of the first things he signed was an EO to close the border. Ask him why he didn’t assure that it was followed through on.

Stop playing nice to get sound bites and actually get something done. You may only have until the midterms to get it done.
