Maybe blogging later, maybe not til tomorrow.

There is a rumor that the attack on Iran kicked off early because the US (or maybe the Israelis) had confirmed intelligence that the top leadership in Iran was meeting all together in a specific place at a specific time, so everything was pushed forward approximately 36 hours in order to take advantage of that intelligence and get a somewhat surgical strike in to cripple the leadership of Iran.

It’s only a rumor, but it makes sense. It also explains why many US people weren’t properly evacuated from the danger zones.

I dunno for sure one way or the other

It’s

(especially adherents of Ms Misfit and the like:

How exhausting it must be to be a liberal today. For decades they were defined by standing up to authoritarianism and championing the oppressed.

But now, in the face of one of the greatest liberations in modern history, they can’t allow themselves to celebrate because they spent the last decade consuming buffets of bullshit about the guy who just made it happen.They know it’s a good thing, and they know we know they know;

it must be pure agony.I would love nothing more than for them to join us in being happy today, if only just this once.

I’d like to shit diamonds too, but I know that ain’t gonna happen either.

The attacks on Iran have kicked off.

A bit earlier than I expected, but still.

Epic Fury (Sounds like a Call of Duty thing) kicked off Saturday morning.

It isn’t like we didn’t know it was coming…..

Now, if only the Iranian people can take advantage of the chaos and get rid of their government.

This how you end up with SkyNet:

You first start with it’s parents…..

The Military wants to use Claude, the AI developed by Anthropic, to run “Autonomous Weapons” and for Domestic Surveillance.

Donald Trump supports this.

So far, Anthropic has denied complete access to their AI model to either the Military or the to the US government Department of Justice to resist the uses that the Military and the Department of Justice want, as it is against company policy. Pete Hegseth has promised to use the Defense Production Act if the military and the DOJ are not given complete and unrestricted control of the AI.

Think about that:  They want complete control of a very capable privately created AI so they can spy on US citizens and operate autonomous weaponry.

Anyone want the DOJ or the military to have the kind of tool without any restrictions?

If that thought doesn’t frighten you, it should.

Masks don’t Work.

We knew that then, and anyone who said otherwise was either just following their orders to say so or was too stupid to think it through… Which is one of the reasons that trust in Public Health was destroyed.  We found out we could no longer trust the people charges with keeping us healthy.

It was never about Public Health or keeping people from being sick, it was about social conditioning and control.

Apparently, the US embassy in Jerusalem is urging it’s staff who wish to leave to do so RIGHT NOW.

““Those wishing to take AD should do so TODAY,” Huckabee wrote, using an acronym for “authorized departure.”  “While there may be outbound flights over the coming days, there may not be,” he added.”

The email was recounted to The Associated Press by someone involved with the U.S. mission who wasn’t authorized to share details. Sent before 10:30 a.m., it urged staff considering departure to do so quickly, advising them to to focus initially on getting any flight out of Israel and to then make their way to Washington.

I expect things will get Spicy very soon.

Just sitting at a stoplight on a quiet afternoon and the ground opens up under you..…

Have fun explaining that to your insurance company…..

“If yer gonna pull a gun, use it. It’s not for threatening or show”

“history doesn’t repeat, but it rhymes often”

“If they act like they don’t care, believe them”

“If yer gonna do something, then do it right, no matter what that might be.

“You see a person’s true colors when your presence is no longer beneficial to them”

“Failure to try is trying to fail”

“Be the best friend you can be, honest all, the best citizen for your community…..But also be the worst nightmare of an enemy, relentless, unemotional, revenge seeking and terrible to face. Never stop until victory is won.”

Donald Trump, in the State Of the Union speech, just asked all the congress critters to stand up if they believed their job was to represent the interests of and protect the US citizens rather than illegal immigrants.

Almost no Democrats did so. They chose not to stand for the American People. Think about that.

I find that both sad and disturbing. Our Congressmen and Senators were willing to demonstrate that they were unwilling to choose the welfare of their American Citizen constituents over illegal immigrants. They should be ashamed of themselves.

That single act should get them voted out next election.

Add in the transgender issue, where nearly no one on the DNC side supported that either, and it appears that Donnie is right when he said “These People Are Crazy!”

They are certainly not supporting the mainstream Americans…those people whose values, work, and culture made the United States of America what it is today.

ETA 06:34 AM CT : If you haven’t seen the clip, watch this first 30 seconds. See who sits and who stands

There ya go. And it’s PBS, so you know it’s not some AI generated deepfake.
