US PILOT ‘RESCUE’ OP COST: — 2 MC-130 aircraft ($100 MILLION+ EACH) ‘intentionally DESTROYED’ — 4 MH-6 Little Bird helicopters Iran drops NEW WRECKAGE IMAGES


In Iran, we have a well-known proverb about making a bad situation worse: “He set out to fix his eyebrow, but ended up blinding his eye.” The U.S. President sought to restore America’s lost prestige after the destruction of his fighter jet; but in doing so, he also lost several aircraft, helicopters, and his forces.



Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said she will oppose all military aid to Israel, including defensive weapons. Will it set a new standard for Democrats? nymag.com/intelligencer/…

TRUMP: WILL BE 'HARD FOR ANYBODY TO REMOVE IRAN'S URANIUM



Israel’s strategy is no longer focused on deterrence and diplomacy, it’s about dominance and degradation. Nathan J. Brown writes. carnegieendowment.org/middle-east/di…

Flight delayed on tarmac. Missed our connection. Based on the other flights available, which were also delayed, and the fact that taking a flight tomorrow would require getting back into a security line stretching seemingly for miles, we decided to get a car and drive five hours to our destination. That’s how bad air travel is right now. Driving is faster. Air travel is awful in this country. People don’t realize just how much it sucks unless they have to do it a lot. It’s not just TSA. Flight delays. Air traffic control issues. Service is even worse than usual. Every airport is crowded and slow and worn down and dirty. Everyone brings their dogs. The term “service animal” doesn’t mean anything anymore. Air travel used to be luxurious. People used to wear suits. Working for an airline was prestigious. The employees took it seriously. It sucks now. It’s terrible. This is the kind of thing our leaders should be fixing. Because the most frustrating thing is that it is so eminently fixable. If only anyone bothered to try.
