🚨TRAGIC: Millionaire parents spoil son with $94k BMW M4 for his 16th birthday only for him to crash it at 100mph and k*ll school girl.




Personally, one day from the holy day of Easter, I find it repugnant that Trump is threatening "all hell" to be unleashed on the people of Iran and then double the insult by feigning "glory be to GOD," -- especially given that Jesus, whose resurrection from the dead Christians will be celebrating tomorrow is known as 'The Prince of Peace' This is no way to fight a war. It might be a way to *lose* one, however. Whether one wants to talk about the British ppl defiant in the face of NAZI bombing in World War II, or the German and Japanese ppl never succumbing to fire bombing in the same war, the North Vietnamese ppl's refusal to be bombed into the stone age, the North Korea ppl's resilience in the face of near eradication of all their cities in 1953, or the unwillingness of the Palestinians and Lebanese to submit to relentless Israeli bombing since 2023, the pattern is the same: massive bombing of a population does NOT force it into submission. If President Trump thinks a one month-plus bombing campaign is going to compel the Iranian ppl to submit to his will - especially after those same Iranians have *already proven* an ability to sustain hundreds of thousands of combat deaths in the U.S.-backed Iran/Iraq war 1980-88 - he will be, again, proven wrong. But its not just about him being proven wrong, its about the potentially significant numbers of Iranians who will die in the process, or, if he doesn't care about those human beings, maybe he should consider he'll also pointlessly sacrifice American service members and Israeli citizens as well (and if things go woefully south, maybe large numbers of GCC states' populations as well. This war of choice has all but effectively been lost by the U.S. and Israel. The only question now: will we deepen our loss or suck down meaningful amounts of pride and hubris, but take an ugly diplomatic off ramp. Pretty sure we know the answer to that...


🇮🇱 Israeli media: "It appears that Russia has supplied Iran with the S-500 system. This is madness."






Academic press: Books that no one will read at prices that no one will pay.


The main challenge for Trump is to declare victory without being able to open the Strait of Hormuz: "Let France do it... Let the European countries do it… Let South Korea do it... Let Japan do it… This was not part of what I wanted to do"


Hate to say, I’m going to judge a guy by his wife. It’s amazing how your opinion of a guy can shift one way or another based on his wife.
