Hello, James!
Floridian here. You make me crazy. You have some ideas I find really interesting…
…But I’m a hard pass on the anti-Semitism, and I’m a hard pass on the racism.

Similar to when Israeli cyber official Tom Alexandrovich -- after meeting with NSA and other US agents -- was arrested in Las Vegas for trying to arrange hook-ups with underage girls.
He was then bizarrely released with no restrictions, waltzed back to Israel, never returned.

So the feds are dropping charges against the Israeli citizen caught in Las Vegas with an illegal biolab, after he was caught in LA with an illegal biolab ktnv.com/news/crime/fed…

Ben Gvir says Israel will not “allow” Trump to make deal with Iran 🤔

They will not. Saudi Arabia has made it very clear for a long time that it will not normalize relations with Israel without the establishment of a Palestinian state.🇸🇦🇵🇸

Trump has publicly demanded that Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Pakistan join the Abraham Accords.

@MosabHasanYOSEF This is so profoundly stupid that I wonder what toxic rich person is paying you to say it?
English
A joint U.S.-Israeli special forces operation to extract Iran’s highly enriched uranium from Isfahan would be the perfect off-ramp: neutralize the nuclear threat, flip the script on the regime, and hand Trump a decisive strategic victory. High risk, historic reward.
The move nobody sees coming.

@mdubowitz @CliffordDMay “You got to negotiate?”
Come on man, if you are going to advocate for dumb policy to please your toxic donors, use grammar check.
English
My take: “Israelis understand in the Middle East that you got to negotiate while fighting. And Americans don't do that. Americans fire, then we stop, we do ceasefires.
But we never seem to want to fight and negotiate, right? And Israelis just completely don't understand that approach. I actually think Trump is more Israeli in that respect.
I think he does understand against the Islamic Republic of Iran, he’s not going to get Hormuz open permanently or a nuclear deal that meets his minimum demands without escalating against the Islamic Republic. And I think he's keeping escalation in his pocket.
He'll give diplomacy a chance. But at some point, President Trump is going to reach a decision point that he's got to negotiate while fighting. I hope he reaches that point.
If not, President Trump will end up squandering the greatest opportunity a US president has ever had to deal with the Islamic Republic. And if that happens, I will be criticizing him. And I'm sure Senate Republicans will be criticizing him.
And I think his legacy will be severely tainted. I'm hopeful that that's not the President Trump that we've seen through two administrations confronting the Islamic Republic of Iran.”

chances of saudi arabia joining abraham accords given present israel policy in gaza (called a genocide by mbs) & west bank: pretty much zero

Israel is holding up the U.S. peace agreement with Iran so that they can do more of this in Lebanon, because apparently this is not enough

History teaches us that taking advice from neocon chicken hawks gets us endless quagmires in the Middle East.

Why are Dems standing with this guy?
He can insult women, Blacks, Jews & veterans, but he’s a Democrat so—as Elizabeth Warren puts it—he’s “my kind of man!”
Fox News@FoxNews
“You don't have much experience with Latin American hookers, do you?” More deleted Reddit comments tied to Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner are surfacing as scrutiny over his online history intensifies. In newly uncovered posts from 2012, Platner discussed prostitution overseas and defended men who cheated on their wives while abroad, writing that infidelity and loyalty to fellow soldiers were “not mutually exclusive.” The comments add to a growing archive linked to Platner that also includes posts insulting the U.S. Army, mocking a Purple Heart recipient, using slurs, and expressing support for political violence — creating new headaches for Democrats in his bid to unseat incumbent Republican Sen. Susan Collins.

The deal is 95 percent there, only thing remaining is the nuclear material, Irans control of the strait, the regime, missiles, drones, and proxy forces.

One possibility here could be that Iran reaches a peace deal with the United States but if Israel refuses its terms — which include ending the war in Lebanon — then Iran and Israel can continue to fight it out. Why would the U.S. continue a war so that Israel can keep fighting in Lebanon? What does that have to do with us?
בני גנץ - Benny Gantz@gantzbe
אסור בשום פנים ואופן לקבל את הפסקת הלחימה בלבנון כחלק מהסכם עם איראן. אי אפשר לקבל מצב שבו דווקא כשהציבור הלבנוני מתחיל להפנים שחיזבאללה פוגע בו - מדינת ישראל תאפשר להפוך אותו למגן לבנון. הכפרים בדרום לבנון שוכנים מאות מטרים ממטולה, משלומי וממשגב עם - ולישראל יש חובה להגן על תושביה ללא תלות באף גורם חיצוני. השלמה עם הפסקת הלחימה בלבנון כחלק מהסכם עם איראן תהיה טעות אסטרטגית שנשלם עליה שנים קדימה. זה בדיוק המקרה שבו ישראל צריכה להגיד לארה״ב - לא.

I’m seeing people publicly criticizing this post.
Here are a few thoughts…
1) It’s the Lord’s Day. Criticizing the sanctity of marriage, especially today, is distasteful.
Log off.
2) Marriage should not be rash, but neither should it be slow and dragged along.
James found the girl, proposed, and tied the knot. Good on him.
Modernity would have tempted James to wait till after the primary… then wait for the general… then wait to be installed… then wait until reelection… etc… etc… etc.
This is folly.
Go get the girl. Everything else can wait.
3) Some people are saying James was recently dating someone else.
Respectfully, pound sand. It’s not your business.
The most loving thing a man can do is not procrastinate in ending a relationship with the girl he knows he should not marry, and not procrastinate in marrying the girl he knows he should.
4) To @j_fishback:
You got the girl. Now the proof is in the pudding. You will prove all your detractors foolish by keeping her.
The best revenge is a life well lived. In this case, the best revenge is a marriage well lived out.
-Love her as Christ love the Church.
-Wash her and sanctify her in the Word.
-Lead her with Christ’s authority.
-And give her godly offspring who rise up and call her blessed.
Finally,
So long as you continue to magnify Christ, you have all my support. Forever at your service.
Christ is King.

Gas prices are currently falling but until we see an agreement signed & a significant amount of ships transit through the Strait, the national average price of gasoline will likely remain well above $4/gal. Only once we start seeing confidence and ships move will prices plummet.
Clay Travis@ClayTravis
At a minimum, gas prices will likely plummet in coming days. Admin believes more moderate voices have taken power in Iran and want a deal. Radical elements in IRGC are often using pro-Iran reporters & outlets to work to kill deal with inaccurate propaganda.

AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO BELIEVES TRUMP & IRAN WILL REACH A DEAL IN A FEW DAYS?
English
Jonathan Franks retweetledi
The fact that so many proponents of the Iran war are criticizing Trump’s looming deal is less an indictment of the deal than it is of the war. It means they can't defend the results of the policy they advocated for so long so are reduced to claiming that victory would have been around the corner if only Trump had stayed the course... (which only they seem to believe). They are right that the deal will leave the US worse off than before the war but fail to recognize, or at least refuse to admit, that the mistake was the war, not the deal.
Mike Pompeo@mikepompeo
The deal being floated with Iran seems straight out of the Wendy Sherman-Robert Malley-Ben Rhodes playbook: Pay the IRGC to build a WMD program and terrorize the world. Not remotely America First. It’s straightforward: Open the damned strait. Deny Iran access to money. Take out enough Iranian capability so it cannot threaten our allies in the region. Overdue. Let’s go.
