Omar is being exposed for the hypocrite that she is. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Smackdown: Rep. Ilhan Omar spews tripe and hears from Iran's locals [...] not surprisingly, Iran's allies on the left have jumped right in, attempting to defend Iran with their words to continue Iran's propaganda war. Most are saying pretty stupid things; some are whimpering, some are discombobulated, some say they really want freedom for Iran, but ..., others say it's 'greatly concerning,' or stroke their chins about 'grave consequences'; others spew 'international law' tripe as if terrorist state Iran were an upstanding nation, while still others mouth the olde-tyme leftist claptrap about yanquí imperialismo, and in the case of Rep. Ilhan Omar, Trump violating the sacred Islamic Ramadan fasting period, which didn't seem to bother Afghanistan or Pakistan, both of which lobbed missiles at one other in the last two days.

See remarks from the Shah Jr. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Pahlavi: Iran is 'not Iraq,' nation will hold free elections, establish ties with Israel Iranian Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi published an op-ed in the Washington Post in the early hours of Sunday morning, responding to the death of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and outlining his plan for a democratic Iran. Pahlavi addressed fears of the US establishing an extended, resource-draining military presence in Iran as it did in Iraq in the early 2000s following the assassination of Saddam Hussein. The crown prince explicitly assured Washington Post readers that "Iran is not Iraq. We will not repeat the mistakes that followed that conflict."

Man -- the New York Times is going to have to get a lot of "austere religious scholar" obituaries ready... like, more than 40 of them. Nearly 900 strikes were carried out within 12 hours. Not bad! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Over 40 Senior Iranian Officials Confirmed Dead in Operation Epic Fury Dozens of senior Iranian officials, as well as Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, have been killed in operation Epic Fury, as Israeli and American forces have rained hell upon Iran since early Saturday morning.

And look who else got it, too! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Iranian State Media Finally Admits What We've Known for Hours About Ali Khamenei President Trump launched airstrikes against the Iranian regime just over an hour past his deadline, collaborating with Israeli forces to target the government's leadership. The operation was successful, with key Iranian officials, including Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and most of his family, eliminated in the initial strikes. Iranian state media confirmed these outcomes, even though Israeli and American officials had already made the information public hours earlier. Khamenei's daughter, son-in-law, and grandson were also killed in the airstrikes: [...] https://townhall.com/tipsheet/mattvespa/2026/02/28/iranian-state-media-finally-admits-what-weve-known-for-hours-n2672090

We neglected to post Wednesday's Semiofficial Semiweekly VAWA-Thread Joke, and no one complained. This certainly means that you're eagerly anticipating our Official Weekly VAWA-Thread Joke: =========================================== WHAT WE'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO SAY "Don't let your mind wander -- it's too small to be let out on its own." "I hear you've finally changed your mind. What did you do with the diaper?" "I'm heading south for the winter... actually, some parts of me are headed there already!" "If a man's home is his castle, he can learn to CLEAN it." "As long as there are tests, there will be prayer in public schools." "Don't believe everything you think." "If there's a tourist season, how come we can't shoot them?" "Everyone seems normal, until you get to know them." "My sex life isn't dead, but the buzzards are circling." "Well, aren't YOU the most adorable Black Hole of Need?" "Shhh! That's the sound of nobody caring what you think." "Did you eat an extra bowl of Stupid this morning?" "I don't know what your problem is, but I bet it's hard to pronounce." "If you have something to say, raise your hand and place it over your mouth." "You're not yourself today -- I noticed the improvement immediately!" "Never go to bed angry -- stay up and plot your revenge."

Oh, Joy.

Thrilling Saturday non-ES report, see man: Breakfast/lunch was 2 turkey-&-cheese sandwiches, ingest we man. Mini-B. still embedded at nearly 1 p.m., zzz wee man man. We left him 2 PB&J sandwiches, lunch wee man man. We awoke him before going to our ES and to Mama T-B., roust youthful carcass we man man. Mama T-B. phoned us Many (2+2+2+1) -- si man, Many (2x2x2 -1) -- times, man. During our visit, we again had to inventory & reorganize all the bed ilnens, man. This is because the idiot helpers "just grab and toss everything around, si man," man. She told us to take one complete dirty-sheet set, 2 towels, & a duster dress home to warsh, man. "You can warsh them together in one load, si man," said senior she man man. "No, we cannot, no man -- the towels will get wadded in the sheets in the dryer, si man," said we man man. "No, they will not, no man, and I need them before Sunday, si man!" said senior she man man. We warshered/baked/folded the 2 LLs, no one tell us how to do LLs man. Mini-B. said that he was going to the nearby skool to basketball with amigos, well OK man. Miu demanded complete brushing, acquiesce to miu we man. We returned the 2 LLs to Mama T-B. after hours, 2 trips in one day man. As we T-B.-mobiled, Mini-B. texted that he + amigos were going to McDonald's, across busy highway man. We told him not to for safety & din-din planning, but he ignored us, no and si man man. This did wonders for our blood pressure, irked-already we man man. The keypad entry code to Mama T-B.'s place didn't work, bang on door for Many minutes till someone noticed we man man. Mama T-B. wanted Many (2+2) -- si man, Many (2+2) -- explanations of what we'd warshed, man. After the Many'th (2+1th) explanation, we began to get peeved, foul mood already we man. We crammed the infernal stuff where it belonged and then left, bye we man man. On way back, we stopped at McDonald's, retrieve wee man + one local amigo man. The T-B.-mobile's back seat hasn't been off-cleaned since Mama T-B. went down, no time man. We could take only one amigo with us, choice man. Local amigo said he could walk home, si man. Other amigo, we learned too late, lived Many (2x2x2x2 +2) -- si man, Many (2x2x2x2 +2) -- minutes away, man. Saturday-night traffic quite heavy, man. Mini-B. unapologetic, rebellious Manyager wee man man. We were rather displeased, putting it lightly man. Return to the casa was after Many (2x2x2) p.m., man. Mini-B. needed a lengthy emergency bathroom seance, dietary indiscretion at McDonald's man. We were about to blow our stack, schedule entirely hosed man. Din-din (finally) was French-style green beans, breaded chicken tenders, and r'b'r, ingest Two Guys man. We had to consume part of Mini-B.'s din-din, appetite ruined by McDonald's man. Movie night was Many (2x2x2x2 + 2+2+2) Jump Street, pretty good and watch Two Guys man. Beyond all hope, 2 bowls of Costco popcorn were consumed, ingest Two Guys man. This tallies to Many (2x2x2x2 -2) for the week, quota padded man. End result of day, see man: Zero progress on Mama T-B.'s taxes, man. Everyone here should have invested in pharma companies that make BP medicine, financially savvy you man man. No party with the rubias tonight, no cavort we man. No plans for Sunday beyond the Many (2+1) LLs and whatever we do with Mama T-B.'s taxes, yeah right man. And that was/is our thrilling Saturday, report we man.

Highly recommend against it. Congested, 24/7 traffic gridlock like no one's ever seen. I hate having to go there.

Notice (in videos elsewhere) that the women dancing in the streets of Tehran have already abandoned their hijabs. That's a big middle finger to the regime. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Iranians celebrate Israeli, US strikes after months of increased repression from regime Iranians were recorded celebrating in the street on Saturday morning, before the internet blackout, in response to Israeli and US strikes on the regime's military and government facilities, according to footage published online by Iranian diaspora media. In one video, young Iranian men shouted "I love Trump" as smoke was seen billowing from a nearby strike. [...] https://www.jpost.com/middle-east/iran-news/article-888273

Best news since Khomeini bought it. May they both land in the hottest level of Hell and enjoy it there with their promised 72-year-old vegan. I like Fetterman's reaction (see article). Two comments from the peanut gallery: "Allah's boy got his butt taken out by the Jews. How appropriate!" "Now do that stupid Obama library in Chicago." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is Dead Despite some initial debate, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed during the airstrikes Saturday morning, Israeli officials report. "Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was assassinated in an Israeli strike on Tehran, with his body found under the rubble caused by an Israeli airstrike, senior Israeli officials were informed on Saturday evening," the Jerusalem Post reports. "Documentation of Khamenei's body was reportedly shown to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu."

Six years ago, actually: https://www.sugarland.com/msg/sugar-land-best-tasting-drinking.php?p=1269571

Yes to all. The member mam521 can be a resource for Spring, because she lives up that way. I can help with the other areas. Spring is pretty close to Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH), if Mrs. CC wants international flights. Sugar Land is closer to IAH and to Hobby Airport (HOU, a Southwest hub) than is Richmond. Richmond would be good, too. It and Sugar Land are in Fort Bend County, which is run better than is Harris County (which encompasses most of Houston and perhaps parts or much of Spring). City services in either would be excellent. Trivia fact: Sugar Land has (or had) the best-tasting tap water in the U.S. and second-best in North America. This was determined a couple of years ago, and perhaps we can find a URL about it. Would you be looking for an apartment, condo, townhouse, house? Rent or own? How soon would you envision moving?

Saturday ES report, see man: We discovered a Sat-Sun ES that was on the way to Mama T-B.'s, opportunity knocks man. This ES yielded the take, see man: -- L/S, double-pocket Pepe Jeans shirt (with dry-cleaner tag on it) = $2, steal man Total = $2

It can take many months. Expect this, and be pleased if it's sooner.
