I’m honestly with Trump here.
You can’t just walk into that. You have to leave that in the drawing room.

This might actually be Trump's funniest moment 😂 Japanese Reporter: Why didn't you tell us before you struck Iran? Trump: "Why didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbor?" 💀🔥😂

Wisconsin has gone eight straight completed seasons without a Sweet 16, losing to a double-digit seed four times in six NCAAT appearances. (Oregon, Iowa St, JMU, High Point)
The Badgers had six Sweet 16s in the previous eight years, including two Final Fours.

Amanpour is a completely unreliable intermediary.
She will cite sourcing like “Israeli and American analysts” and just completely not indicate that they’re the war biggest skeptics from the beginning, basically the Doomer bros you see on here.
I’M a Doomer bro on this war! And this still isn’t even valuable to me to get from major media. It literally makes her worthless.

Absolute bombshell. Christiane Amanpour confirms that US and Israeli analysts admit Iran is firmly in the driving seat of this war. She also reveals the assassinated Iranian negotiator was actually their favored candidate for a transition.

My prior is that this is spot-on accurate about the currently reigning generation of American screenwriters across, not just a subgroup a circle of which wrote this film.
But now my inclination is to countersignal that take because of who’s giving it here.
Ann Coulter@AnnCoulter
Liel Leibovitz in the Free Press: "As a work of art, One Battle After Another is irredeemable. It feels like the sort of thing written by a committee of socialist college sophomores cracking each other up ... "Paul Thomas Anderson seems interested more in purring for his fellow progressives than in making interesting movies ..."

So fucking what?
The leader of the Jewish state fighting a civilizational war against the Islamic Republic should really just keep the name of Jesus Christ out of his mouth in public statements about the war. He’s not religious but his people who are religious believe that Jesus Christ was a heretic who defamed their true beliefs.
If he wanted to paraphrase Durant, that’s easily done: “Will Durant said that if the good are weak and the bad are strong, evil will win.” He visibly relished using the name of Christians’ god, which he believes is a silly superstition, to justify death and destruction wrought for the protection of Jews who reject Christ’s divinity — during Christians’ holy month — when he could have just as well not.
Maybe work on enforcing laws against spitting on Christians in Israel before using their Lord’s name in vain with a mischievous grin on your face.

This quote is from the American historian Will Durant. Fun fact (as shown in my upcoming book): Netanyahu and Khamenei both grew up reading Will Durant (who was and is widely popular in Iran, his STORY OF CIVILIZATION treated as a must-read classic in Persian translation)

Tehran says it hit a US F-35, forcing it to make an emergency landing. Tehran may be lying. Then again, it may be telling the truth. If it is telling the truth, I asked @ckasapoglu1 to explain how, in its weakened state, it might have pulled this off.

Why *can’t* Wisconsin run a Bennett-esque or Ryan-esque system? Our coach is literally Bo Ryan’s right-hand man.

This from CSIS is a good argument that in this situation a supplemental would NOT be authorization-in-the-breach, and I need you to start talking about that, @jacklgoldsmith.

Atlantic columnist: the Iran war isn’t even popular among think tankers Atlantic Council Guys: ending the war is the “worst case” outcome Hoover Inst guys: We need to escalate NOW CSIS guys: we need to spend 100s of billions on more bombs+missiles (made by our biggest donors)

Iran has been firing a lot today. Five salvos in the last hour alone. And the last few days in general have seen an uptick after a significant drop. It undermines the IDF claim that Iran is shooting what it can. it is strategising. Or at least, it is clear Iran can still inflict

In this short clip Netanyahu:
-Insults Christians & Jesus Christ
-Asserts there's no purpose in being a good person
-Says we have no choice but to fight Israel's wars
-Subtly threatens us if we don't

There’s a lot of babying of the U.S. military in our culture that is based in the much-mythologized scenes of veteran mistreatment during Vietnam (which was bad).
We constantly have to disavow saying the military is anything but amazing lest… what? Lest what?
We’re fucking losing war after war at this point, man!
The mythology of American hyperpower is leading to terrible strategic choices by our leaders and world leaders that affect our policies. We need to turn the culture back to one of thorough, tough truth-telling about ourselves (which is something that actually exists in the Israeli security system).
Trump may have been right that Obama and Biden let the military languish and wither after Bush wrecked it in Iraq. But it’s NOT true that he built it back into the greatest fighting force the world has ever known again!
We need to start to be honest with ourselves about what we are.
(It would actually help our global and historical esteem if we admitted that we’re actually one of the more pansy, war-averse major powers the world has ever known. We don’t like going to war. We like finance and restaurants and beaches. That’s to our credit, morally.)

Perhaps I wasn't clear: The MILITARY execution of the decapitation strategy worked beautifully (i.e., most of the important leadership figures were eliminated), but its objective (i.e., a collapse of the regime) wasn't met.
