The second scenario is for Trump to refocus on Iran's arsenal of missiles by claiming it has been wiped out thus enabling him to end the war. However, that would mean becoming hostage to fortune. It would be sufficient for Tehran to fire a rocket or a drone just days after Trump's declaration of victory to show that the leader of the mightiest power in history has thrown in the towel a bit too soon. The third scenario, favored by some in Trump's kitchen cabinet but absolutely hated by Israeli Premier Benjamin Netanyahu is the Venezuela model:

What is this nonsense? It was very poorly written and scatter brain making it painful to read, but it's a list of silly things. There is one way to end it: destroy the current government and put in place a structure to have free and fair elections excluding everyone who is currently in any office.

Twenty two days is not a quagmire, by any standards. It is unrealistic to expect sudden change and 'success' and unnecessary. One option could be to offer the Crown prince a title of Prince Regent and caretaker of a provisional Constitutional monarchy. The Prince himself has said that it will take up to two years to bring things to normal. At which time a legitimate government elected by the people could opt to give the Prince the title of Shah and convert to a permanent Constitutional monarchy or return to a republic.

Anybody can be an armchair general. The objective was to prevent Iran from having nukes and that has been met for the foreseeable future. The cleanup work always takes a little more time unless you do what Biden did in Afghanistan, just leave your toys behind and come home.

Ever since 1979, when Jimmy Carter abandoned the Shah and let religious fanatics with a 19th century mindset take over Iran, the mullah's dream was to procure nuclear weapons and use them to a) wipe out Israel and kill ALL the Jews, and b) blackmail the USA and the rest of the world with proxy terrorism and resurrect the Caliphate. That's it. So the mullahs have to go, both for the sake of Israel/US and the rest of the world. We need the Iranians to rise up and bring about the downfall of the regime's Islamic Revolution to save us the trouble of invading Iran ourselves and to preserve the goodwill towards israel and the rest of the OPEC countries thru the Abraham Accords. But if the Iranians can't depose the mullahs, a ground invasion may become necessary. There's just too much at stake to allow for wishful thinking-one way or another, the mullahs need to go for the good of the world.

President Donald Trump is executing the playbook he developed for Venezuela to pressure the communist Cuban regime to capitulate, thereby removing the last major bastion of foreign adversary influence in the Western Hemisphere. And after essentially cutting off the island’s oil supply, there are signs that the regime is starting to feel the heat. In the aftermath of the U.S. operation to apprehend Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro earlier this year, the Trump administration has ramped up its pressure on Cuba, a close partner of Maduro and, since its communist revolution in 1959 led by Cuban revolutionary leader Fidel Castro,

More than half of the NYPD’s Joint Terrorism Task Force cops can retire right now, along with thousands of sergeants, lieutenants and captains, worrying officials about the future of terror and crime fighting in Gotham, The Post has learned. Forty-five of 82 JTTF detectives – or 55% – have 20 years under their belts, which is enough time on the job to leave with a full pension, according to union data. There are 2,161 active detectives in the NYPD and 1,232 of them — or 57% — are in the same boat, eligible for a full pension after 20 years.

Iran threatened Friday to start targeting tourist sites worldwide — just as spring break kicked off across the United States. Iranian military spokesman Gen. Abolfazl Shekarchi blasted out the chilling warning on state TV as he vowed that popular tourism havens would no longer be safe for Tehran’s enemies. “From now on, based on the information we have about you, even parks, recreational areas, and tourist destinations anywhere in the world will no longer be safe for you,” the military official said.

On Friday, Gov. Kathy Hochul finally started tiptoeing toward reality on New York’s climate law. In a lengthy opinion column, she laid out her proposal to postpone by a decade the state’s stringent greenhouse-gas emissions rules, set by law to hit in 2030 — pointing fingers at everything from COVID-19 to upstate NIMBYism to President Donald Trump to justify waving the white flag. But Albany legislators should never have imposed these draconian CO₂ emissions targets to begin with. Even in 2019, when the Climate Leadership & Community Protection Act was passed,

Russian President Vladimir Putin this week reportedly offered to stop sharing targeting intelligence with Iran if the United States agreed to do the same in Ukraine. Reports of Russian targeting support for Iranian operations against U.S. targets surfaced early in the war. The U.S. has long provided Ukraine with intelligence throughout the war. Russian envoy Kirill Dmitriev reportedly made the offer to Trump envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, who rejected the plan, according to Politico, which cited "two people familiar" with the negotiations. The offer comes as Iran continues to target U.S. facilities and critical infrastructure in the Persian Gulf.

On March 11, the California Attorney General, along with 16 additional Democrat states, filed a complaint in federal court against President Trump’s requirement that state universities collect and make public data on student admissions for race, GPA, and SAT scores. On Friday, March 13, federal Judge F. Dennis Saylor gave schools extra time to comply—by March 25 instead of March 18. The Trump requirement is the administration’s effort to implement the Supreme Court’s 2023 Students for Fair Admissions (SFFA) opinion, which found racial preferences in university admissions unlawful, including for diversity or “DEI” rationales.

Democracies depend not only on fair elections but on public confidence that elections are fair. Once people begin to doubt the integrity of the system, the legitimacy of the outcome begins to wobble. In the United States today, few issues have done more to shake that confidence than the debate over voter identification. The strange thing about the debate is that identification is required for almost everything else. Americans must show ID to board an airplane, obtain employment, open a bank account, collect Social Security benefits, purchase alcohol or tobacco, or obtain a driver’s license. Identity checks are simply part of everyday life.

I think a few years ago, one European diplomat said, “Well, he’s a bull in a China shop, only he’s a bull in a nuclear China shop.” Maybe, maybe not. But let’s just review what’s taking place right now. For the second time, we’re bombing Iran, and this time the negotiations clearly were not going to lead to this 47-year problem resolution. Iran’s theocracy has no intention of stopping nuclear proliferation. It wants a bomb to dominate the Middle East, to intimidate the petro kingdoms of the Gulf, to show its dominance over Sunni Islam, and to destroy eventually Israel, threaten Europe for blackmail concessions and eventually us.

It seems impossible that a man like Tom Steyer could have a realistic chance at being one of the two top finishers in California’s June 2 jungle primary. But Steyer, like the other seven Democrats and two Republicans that are running viable campaigns in the crowded race, doesn’t have to appeal to a very large percentage of voters to come out in first or second place. He’s up against several politicians with durable constituencies, splitting the vote so thoroughly that it is conceivable that the top performer could win with only around 20 percent of the vote.

Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union,” House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) said Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) at airports could “brutalize” or “kill” Americans. Host Dana Bash said, “We just heard from the white House about President Trump’s plan to deploy ICE agents to airports tomorrow.” [snip] The last thing that the American people need are for untrained ICE agents to be deployed at airports all across the country, potentially to brutalize or in some instances, kill them. We’ve already seen how Ice conducts itself. These are untrained individuals when it comes to doing the current job that they have.

This is one heck of an explosive viral story. It starts with claims about low-IQ Africans and just takes off from there. It all started when an Africa-based research team decided to challenge and prove wrong a very long-standing claim in Western circles about low IQ levels in African countries. Instead of continuing to argue about it, they decided to put these claims to the test. They conducted a large-scale IQ assessment in Lagos, Nigeria, with a mixed bag of participants over the age of 16.The results were not what they wanted and are what’s going viral. As it turns out, those “Western circles” were right all along.

The Supreme Court ‘s conservative majority on Monday sounded skeptical of state laws that allow the counting of late-arriving mail ballots, a persistent target of President Donald Trump. The court heard arguments in a case from Mississippi that also could affect voters in 13 other states and the District of Columbia, which have grace periods for ballots cast by mail. An additional 15 states that have more forgiving deadlines for ballots from military and overseas voters also could be impacted. A ruling is expected by late June, early enough to govern the counting of ballots in the 2026 midterm congressional elections.

Mueller, who died at 81 on Friday night, was the special counsel tasked with investigating allegations that Russia interfered in the 2016 presidential election to benefit President Trump – a claim the current administration asserts was part of a “treasonous conspiracy” orchestrated by the Obama administration to “subvert” Trump. “Bob Mueller was one of the finest directors in the history of the FBI, transforming the bureau after 9/11 and saving countless lives,”

When President Trump ordered the attack on Iran, it was inevitable that he would receive considerable criticism from the Democrats and their mouthpieces in the corporate media. It was also to be expected that some conservatives would offer thoughtful criticisms of his decision to hit Iran. It was surprising, however, when he was denounced by various podcasters, most of whom have been stunningly naïve about Iran’s threat and why Trump had to take action. By far the most clueless of them has been Megyn Kelly.
