A tourist was seriously injured Friday evening after being thrown 8 feet into the air by a bull bison in Yellowstone National Park. Professional photographer Mike Macleod filmed the incident and said the bison was "angry, agitated and charging anything and everything." (No audio)

I have a strong suspicion that the Iranian narrative will be the mirror image of Washington's. Tehran is likely to argue that it never sought negotiations, and that the initiative came from the mediators in coordination with the United States. From the Iranian perspective, it responded to every U.S. military strike, while Washington chose not to respond militarily to Iran's most recent attack toward Jordan. If that is indeed how Tehran frames the sequence of events, it is difficult to conclude that the Iranian leadership believes it has acknowledged any mistake or backed down. This raises the possibility that claims of Iranian remorse or strategic retreat reflect more wishful thinking than an accurate reading of Tehran's decision-making. The real litmus test will not be official statements but Iranian behavior in the Strait of Hormuz. If Tehran is unwilling to allow the United States to move commercial tankers through the Strait without accepting Iran's preferred arrangements, then the underlying strategic dispute remains unresolved. As long as that issue persists, declarations of de-escalation or mutual understanding should be treated with caution, because the central point of contention has not been addressed. #iran



A few videos of last night’s attack, when violent settlers invaded umm al-khair to plant Israeli flags and try to steal another tract of land. Take note of all the cheap shots. Throwing a tiny female activist to the ground. Knees to the groin. Kicking someone while hiding behind a friend. Taking a shot at my throat. And then scampering to the IDF when they arrived to cry victim. To be clear — the Palestinians and their allies did not ask for this confrontation, and did not throw a single punch back, which would have resulted in an immediate arrest if not murder. All they want is to be left alone in their tiny peaceful village.

Obamacare premiums projected to rise 14% in 2027, KFF finds Obamacare premiums are set for yet another year (11 years in a row!) of double-digit increases in 2027, with the median rate climbing roughly 14%, according to a new KFF analysis of rate filings from nearly 80 insurers across the federal and state exchanges. The projections draw on data submitted to 16 states and the District of Columbia. Last year's median rose 20%, making 2027 the second consecutive year of double-digit hikes. washingtonexaminer.com/policy/healthc…

The US Strategic Petroleum Reserve is now ~19MM barrels away from estimated minimum operating levels. There very soon will no longer be a safety buffer to protect the world from further losses out of the Strait.

Haaland’s camp has been told that social-media algorithms are being geared towards Haaland content, because that is where the demand is. His boom in popularity in the US has been likened to when Travis Kelce began dating Taylor Swift and then his Kansas City Chiefs team won that season’s Super Bowl. @TheAthleticFC

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump: “We may put down the blockade… and it’ll only be a blockade for Iran.” “Anybody else can have whatever they want, of course. They’ll [Iran] drop some mines if they can… but it’s hard because we’re taking out those little boats now with the same weapon we use to take out the drug lords.”

Trump is sick and tired of Iran. He was promised a quick and huge victory but all he got is a series of never ending mind games and military defeats. He said literally that he is not interested in prolonging this. He wants a face saving exit but Iran does not seem to give him that easily. U.S. involvement in the Iran war was the single biggest strategic mistake ever done by a U.S. government Trump and Americans must remember who caused this
