The most interesting part to me is that after deciding not to follow network instructions, he went on to provide a balanced take on the protests, not weighting his report to the pro- or anti- strikes side. This is what American news media has been missing. If management had prevailed, the report would have slanted heavily toward the ant-strike protests, following the agenda. Instead, we got the news. We saw what was happening, not what some empty suit wanted us to see. There is hope yet.

Method #297: Oppose the strike against Iran intended to provide an opportunity to overthrow the barbaric Islamic extremism’s and restore a peaceful, secular government because … TRUMP CAN’T BE ALLOWED TO GET CREDIT FOR ANYTHING!!!!! ☠️ -
When the target of opportunity presented itself, the gathering of Iranian military leaders in and around Ayatollah Khamenei, Israel pulled the trigger without hesitation. It is clear that this operation was planned for months, ready to be put into action at a moment’s notice. What has been reported thus far shows a remarkable level of success. The fact that this operation was carried out in daylight reinforces the unexpected timing. U.S. and Israeli stealth assets are not usually committed in daylight operations, mainly because visual identification is still a thing. if the level of success is as reported and the Iranian population succeed in finally overthrowing the barbaric Islamic fundamentalist regime, this operation may be recorded in history as one of the most impactful steps on the road to regional peace. The removal of the most significant state sponsor of terror currently in existence may complete the collapse of Hezbollah, severely impact the continued existence of Hamas as a threat and degrade the Houthi threat, amount other regional impacts. The scattergun retaliation seen across the region may also have united the disparate nations, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and others, on the side of Israel, which would be a welcome additional benefit. This will not be a “forever war” as some have intimated. The majority of the Iranian people seem to have welcomed the attack. Let’s hope the Iranian military, or at least a majority of it, sides with the Iranian people and gives them the future they have been seeking.

Quite possibly where Top Gun: Maverick got “It’s not the plane, it’s the pilot” quote from, as well as Maverick’s father’s fight over the wrong line, from the original movie. Williams was flying a Grumman F-9F-5 Panther, a straight-winged carrier-based fighter. The Russians were flying swept-wing MiG 15s. They had about a 100mph speed advantage, could climb faster and their guns carried a heavier punch. And yet Lt. Williams, as he was then, in what ended up a 7 vs 1 dogfight, left 1 Russian plane flyable after the dogfight. There is no way that ever should have happened. It’s not the plane, it’s the pilot. Legend. 🫡

Actually, it led me to rip up my prepared presentation and go with a single page of handwritten bullet points. Knocked it out of the park at the interview board. 😁

it has nothing to do with the policy and everything to do with the person seen as implementing this policy. -
I didn’t believe this was a thing, until … https://www.pizzint.watch Apparently, the frequency and quantity of pizza ordered by the Pentagon has a direct correlation to the likelihood of military action. 🤪 I remember the olden days, when intelligence gathering was serious business. Now, the appearance of pineapple on a pizza might have serious national security implications! ☠️

Overtly racist? ✅ Insulting? ✅ Judgemental? ✅ Mind-numbing stupid? ✅ One day, hopefully sooner rather than later, it will click with the majority of the American population, that the Democrat Party is intrinsically, systemically racist and no amount of flim-flammery, spin, or mainstream media propaganda will be able to disguise the fact. 🙏🏻 Maybe then the Democrat Party will be able to reorient itself away from the left-wing extremist lunacy that is responsible for the overwhelming proportion of the division in this country. Or maybe I’m just being hopelessly optimistic. 🤷🏽 -

For once, I feel a twinge of sympathy for Ms. Crockett, who now has time fight the might of the DNC machine just to be given the chance to prolong her career in Washington. … Wait … … Nope, that twinge was my hamstring from when our big pup decided to redirect our path of travel when he saw a rabbit this morning. ☠️ -

Considering that the media continually push the idea that Democrat voters are better educated and generally smarter (🤣) than their Republican-voting counterparts, you would think that the Democrats leadership would be all for the SAVE Act. Or maybe the party leadership are too stupid themselves to make that logical connection. ☠️ -
And that is essentially the problem in this country. Politics has become so much about the power, influence, media headlines and clicks that people have forgotten, for the most part, about good governance, a convergence of ideas and improving the lives of the people government is intended to serve. Our representatives have forgotten that people elect them to serve, not to seek, from the moment they attain office, to remain in power. Voting against the policies of an incumbent purely out of animus is something that should never be applauded. If the policy is sound, works for the people and improves on what went before, it should be supported, no matter where it originated. And when a bill is opposed, despite having the support of over 70% of the opposing party’s supporters, those opposing it need to be reminded that they are there to represent, not to dictate. It seems more than a few politicians have forgotten that principle. ☠️
