Israel is aiming with precision to dismantle Iran’s nuclear weapons capabilities, a mission the US must support. The whole world will be safer because of it.

The ceasefire will hold. It obtained ultimately bc of the recognition that there were no military solutions to the problem of reopening Hormuz or subduing Iran. Nothing changes in two weeks. A military solution is not going magically appear. What we will see instead is Iran coercing the US to coerce Israel to accept the ceasefire. Iran will coerce the US with the Hormuz weapon and the US will coerce Israel with the threat of abandonment.

Michigan won the title last night because of its defense. That's no surprise. But I'm becoming increasingly convicted through coaching against it and watching it that if you have the personnel, switching 1–4 with your 5 in drop is one of the best defensive systems you can run. It kills actions early and forces offenses out of their flow. Most teams end up defaulting to isolation or mismatch hunting, which slows everything down and plays right into the defense’s hands. And when you pair that with a legit rim-protecting 5, even the cracks that do show up aren’t clean, because there’s still size waiting at the rim. At every level, teams think they can handle switching, but most don’t have real answers once they’re forced to play outside of what they practice. Another reason why it's so important to practice against every coverage and empower your players to continue to find solutions against it! Most problems I've seen at the HS level and even some college level has been against SWITCHING defenses that are aggressive!

One of the funny things about kicking the DSA hornets nest is how much I’ve learned about my own role in formulating the game plan for Kamala’s 24 campaign. Apparently I was in charge! I organized the Cheney event! Dude, there’s hours of tape on this, go back to 2024 and it’s

8 For the US the war--less than two weeks in--thus far appears a military success but a political failure. The campaign has effectively degraded the regime's malign capacities, but as of now it has seemingly strengthened the regime’s cohesion and not changed its character.

The Economist on how strikes in the war have changed: Our results show that around halfway through the first week of the conflict the fighting entered a new phase. One change is that Iran’s counter-punches have become less effective: both fewer in number and reliant on drones, rather than missiles. Another is that America and Israel appear to be changing their focus from military targets to “civilian” buildings such as defence-industry facilities and the Iranian regime’s infrastructure of oppression—hence the strike in Javanrud. Attacks on Gulf Arab states have almost all been intercepted and have fizzled out. Meanwhile, Iran keeps getting hit hard. And then there are drones...In the first days of the conflict it launched roughly one for every missile. Now the ratio is ten to one. Militarily, this is a complete route. It's insane to watch analysts say that the US and Israel are the ones who can't keep this up.

Nida Allam and her allies spent millions trying to beat Rep. Foushee by focusing their campaign on attacking Israel and demonizing AIPAC members. They lost.
