morning Treepers………..be well
Fabulous picture, be well BD
Morning bjorkdream
Thank you for this beautiful sunrise.
Have a blessed day.
Morning!
Live long & prosper.
I’m beginning to resent that our legislative body has become an assisted living and memory care facility where the residents are paid instead of paying for said care.
71 isn’t that old these days especially considering the FREE PREMIUM healthcare the people in Congress receive.
As of 2024, the average life expectancy for men in the U.S. is 75.8 years, while for women it is 81.4 years. Maybe 75 or 78 should be a forced retirement date?
24 members of Congress are 80 or older. More than half are running for re-election.
Updated March 30, 2026,
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/congress-oldest-members-run-reelection-80s-rcna249479
As of the 119th Congress, 1 member is over 90 :Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA), age 92
Dianne Feinstein was the oldest member of Congress to die in office, passing away at the age of 90 in September 2023.
My guess is a great many people on this site are over 70, I am one of them.
It is a documented fact that there is less turnover in the US Senate than there ever was in the Soviet Politburo …
You do realize to get an average that half of the people have to be younger than that age?
Median age for death would be a more meaningful number, wouldn’t it? Or median age for which a Congresscritter might feel he/she/it has accumulated enough wealth or wrought enough destruction on our country and its citizens, and can finally retire.
You’re thinking of median age not average.
Me too, 😂
Cheers!!! I’m 77….Excellent health. PureBlood. No whitecoats.
Gracias Dios….
I play golf 3 days a week and work out 5 days a week for 2 hours each day i am 88 years old
Awesome. Attitude. Attaboy!
I will be here 20 more great years…@ least.
More golf please
Sen. Chuck Grassley is a Keeper, BUT then one never knows.
The case of Lindsay has nothing to do with being feeble or demented, needful of assisted living. This case looks nefarious. What is a “brief, sudden illness”? It’s not cardiac arrest.
A massive pulmonary embolism is a brief (like a minute or two, max) and sometimes painless death. Unless you’re terribly lucky.
Boy, I pray to go that quick.
Thank God for all He’s given us.
😇❤️🙏🤗🇺🇸✝️
Term Limits and Age Limits.
We know that the Founders considered both, since contemporary European nations had them. But they did not enact them.
Now, we should. Our Congress does not function as intended when the same people can literally spend a lifetime there. “Term Limits” should cap both consecutive and total terms.
👍🏆 🏅
They (AKA: The American Taxpayer) are paying for it either through MedicAid, MediCare or Social Security Disability.
John MCstain has been lonely down below
I say dig him up and put him with Graham; in unmarked graves or burial at sea.
What traitors and the havoc they reeked is a disgrace. And calling them ‘patriots’ or ‘heroes’ is even a bigger mistake.
.
The “news” sounds more like a Russian communique. Vague, short on details. Deliberately ambiguous. If one doesn’t think this is suspicious, then one is not paying attention. Who the hell knows what is going on below the surface with this or McConnell.
Hopefully a toxicology report will be done, as in was Lindsay poisoned?
‘Vague, short on details’ is every first report as all the news agencies try to be first to make the announcement. You can add usually wrong to that list too.
I for one did not care for Graham…….don`t like war pigs…….
but I will not be crawling down the rabbit hole of why he died……some rabbit holes are just that …a hole..waste of time.
his death will be blamed on Russia..Iran…and on and on…
or it may just have been a case of a little old fashion karma coming around.
he is dead …it is what it is….carry on.
“carry on.”
Make Miss Lindsey’s death historic.
As in have a bunch of recess appointments ready.
Never let a crisis go to waste.
“CARRY ON”: The motto of the 359th Infantry Regiment that landed on Utah Beach on 06 June, 1944…
Wise words.
I’m still irritated that John Mcstain was given a presidential type funeral.
Traitors the whole lot of them.
He distributed the Russian fake stories from Christopher Steele.
Wait.. a… minute! I thought we’d won!
Morning Briefing
Updated 3h ago
The Iran crisis entered a dramatically more dangerous phase overnight as a cascade of escalatory actions unfolded across the region.
The IRGC attacked the Cyprus-flagged container ship M/V GFS Galaxy in the Strait of Hormuz, triggering CENTCOM’s third round of strikes this week against approximately 140 Iranian military targets — bringing the cumulative total to over 300 targets hit across three nights — with Defense Secretary Hegseth declaring “Iran made a poor choice.”
Now, they will pay.” Iran retaliated with ballistic missile and drone strikes targeting US military bases across six Arab nations — Qatar, Bahrain, the UAE, Kuwait, Jordan, and Oman — including hitting mediator states, with explosions heard in Doha, air raid sirens activated in Bahrain, UAE air defenses engaging threats, and three Iranian missiles landing on Jordanian territory; the IRGC also struck US Navy logistics infrastructure at Duqm Port in Oman and declared the Strait of Hormuz closed**.
Compounding the diplomatic turmoil, both Senator Lindsey Graham — a hawkish Iran critic and key Trump ally — and former Qatari Emir Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani died, removing two significant figures from the crisis landscape, while Iran’s chief negotiator Qalibaf warned “the era of one-sided agreements is over” and Iran’s parliament advanced a 14-article Strait of Hormuz Management Bill to codify its control of the waterway.
On a hunch:
Was Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani the one who brought US military bases to Qatar?
Grok:
Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani (Emir of Qatar from 1995 to 2013) was the key figure who facilitated and oversaw the establishment of major U.S. military bases in Qatar, most notably Al Udeid Air Base.
———
Grahan was 71, Thani 74.
Ukraine, the country with no navy. The problem: Iran can do this, too, but it doesn’t need to. Just lobbing a few drones on occasion can keep the flow of tankers who don’t take Iran’s approved route down to a trickle.
Ukraine says it has attacked nearly 50 ships in the Sea of Azov over the past five days.
Ukraine Claims Scores Of Russian Ships Struck In Sea Of Azov
The long-range drone attacks are targeting Russian oil tankers, adding to that nation’s burgeoning war-induced energy woes.

https://www.twz.com/news-features/ukraine-claims-scores-of-russian-ships-struck-in-sea-of-azov
The ONLY fix for Iran is regime change. If their essential, long lead time to restore infrastructure like power plants, oil, and desalination hardware is attacked to “finish the job” they have promised to do the same to their neighbors some of which are FAR more dependent on desalination plants that Iran…which is why this hasn’t been done.
Did the head of Mossad who “left” in June 2026 predict a regime change in Iran that was believed to be unlikely by his predecessor?
Yes.
David Barnea served as Mossad director from June 2021 until early June 2026 (succeeded by Roman Gofman). He shifted Mossad’s strategy toward actively pursuing regime change in Iran—particularly in the context of potential or actual conflict—reversing the more skeptical stance of his predecessor, Yossi Cohen (director 2016–2021).
Key Details on Barnea’s Position
– Barnea developed and briefed plans to Netanyahu and others for Mossad to help galvanize Iranian opposition, ignite riots/rebellions, and potentially topple the regime after intense strikes and leadership decapitation (e.g., assassinations). He viewed this as achievable over a timeframe like ~1 year (most likely scenario in his assessments), rather than immediate, though shorter possibilities were considered.
– Publicly and internally, he framed regime change as a core, achievable mission: e.g., “Regime change in Iran is a possible and achievable goal,” and that Mossad’s work would continue “only once this extremist regime is replaced.”
– This built on events like the 2025–2026 conflicts and protests, with Barnea pushing resources into such efforts in the lead-up to and during the 2026 Iran war.
Contrast with Predecessor Yossi Cohen
– Under Cohen, Mossad largely dismissed fomenting internal rebellion/uprising as futile or a waste of time after analyzing protest scales vs. requirements for real threat to the regime. Resources for it were minimized; the focus stayed on sanctions, assassinations of nuclear figures, and sabotage to weaken (but not necessarily topple) the government.
– Cohen was skeptical during his tenure, though post-retirement comments (e.g., in interviews) suggested longer-term hope for the regime’s end.
In short, Barnea made regime change a more proactive goal and believed it was feasible under the right conditions, in contrast to the prevailing view under Cohen that it was unrealistic to pursue directly. Events in 2025–2026 tested these ideas amid war and negotiations, but Barnea’s outgoing stance and the agency’s direction reflected his optimism relative to prior leadership.

What did US intel agencies claim about the possibility of regime change via military actions involving only air power?
US intelligence agencies assessed that airstrikes or air power alone were unlikely to produce regime change in Iran.
A pre-war classified assessment by the National Intelligence Council (completed in February 2026, shortly before the US-Israel strikes began) concluded that neither limited airstrikes nor a larger, prolonged military air campaign would likely result in a new government taking over. This held even if senior Iranian leadership (including Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei) was killed.
Key Points from the Assessment
– No viable opposition takeover: There was no powerful or unified opposition coalition poised to seize and hold power. The Iranian establishment (military and clerical) had protocols to ensure continuity of government and succession.
– Air power limitations: Strikes could degrade capabilities (e.g., missiles, nuclear sites, military infrastructure) but would not dismantle the regime’s core structures or trigger a successful popular uprising/collapse on their own. The regime was seen as entrenched and resilient.
– Broader skepticism: This aligned with views from officials like then-CIA Director John Ratcliffe, who reportedly described some Israeli regime-change outlines as “farcical.” US intel was generally pessimistic about rapid internal collapse from external airstrikes.
These assessments contrasted with more optimistic Israeli (e.g., Mossad under David Barnea) and some Trump administration expectations that strikes plus leadership decapitation could spark rebellion. In practice, while strikes inflicted significant damage, the regime endured without collapsing, consistent with the intel warnings.
Former officials and analysts (e.g., ex-CIA Director Petraeus) echoed this: the US could damage Iranian forces from the air but could not force regime change “through the air” without ground elements or a ready internal alternative.
This reflects longstanding US intelligence views on the limits of air power for regime change, based on historical precedents and Iran’s specific resilience (IRGC control, succession mechanisms, etc.).
The Iranians, now cornered, are striking out also at their ancient neighbors. Who have centuries of experience making war with them. (Read the “middle eight” of your Old Testament.)
For some unexplained reason, those nations put up with a lot from this regime for 47 years. I don’t think they get 48.
Every time they launch a missile or a drone or a motorboat, the exact location is revealed. The command and control structure is already understood. There is no way out of this for the people who once hijacked power in ancient Persia. No way out alive, anyway.
P.S.: As for “boots,” while the Iranians do have an army of sorts, they do not use it to project power. They use air and sea and economics. Their territory also includes some of the deadliest deserts on earth. Land warfare would be quite difficult to plan.
Yes, we have “troops” in-theater. Now: Exactly where would you send troops, and exactly what would their mission be? A proposition based on air and naval power is much easier to explain and to justify. However, if troop actions are being considered, you will not know. You do not need to know.
This regime hijacked power 47 years ago, and persuaded other nations who should have known better to let them keep it. But their grip on power is increasingly tenuous. No one seriously fought to dislodge them in all this time. But these are new times.
Good riddance, Lindsey Graham.
Another grave, I’ll water, before I pass.
(Thanks for nothing, SC citizens.)
One truly evil man, gone.
Damn right, I hated the sob.
Lindsey went to the “laundromat” to check on his “unmentionables” and sumptin’ happened.
He went into the ‘backroom’ to meet his friends of Dorothy.
On the complaint often heard whenever people don’t like its answers that Grok can’t avoid including “the official line” excuses from the perps – wrong:
Of the main people and organizations involved, who has been punished for the creation and spread of SARS-CoV-2 and the terrible decisions related to the reaction to it. Include nothing from those factions in your answer.
Grok:
No prominent individuals or organizations among those most centrally involved in SARS-CoV-2’s origins or the major policy responses have faced significant criminal punishment, fines, imprisonment, or formal accountability measures comparable to the scale of the events.
Origins (Creation/Spread)
– China and Wuhan Institute of Virology: Extensive evidence and investigations point to a lab-related incident as a plausible (and for some agencies, likely) origin, with a documented cover-up involving destroyed samples, restricted access, and withheld data. Despite widespread calls for accountability, economic sanctions, or reparations, no substantive international punishment, reparations, or legal consequences have been imposed on the Chinese government, CCP leadership, or specific virologists.
– U.S.-linked entities (e.g., EcoHealth Alliance, Peter Daszak, NIH/NIAID under Fauci): Funding for related bat coronavirus research was scrutinized. EcoHealth faced grant suspension, debarment proceedings, and criticism for oversight failures and non-compliance. However, these are administrative actions, not criminal punishments. Fauci testified in hearings and faced accusations of misleading statements on gain-of-function research, but no charges, convictions, or penalties resulted.
– No scientists or officials have been held criminally liable for any role in research or early spread.
Policy Responses (Lockdowns, Mandates, etc.)
– U.S. federal and state officials (Fauci, CDC/WHO leaders, governors): Policies like prolonged lockdowns, school closures, mask/vaccine mandates faced lawsuits, with courts striking down some (e.g., on religious liberty, overreach of authority, or eviction moratoria). Examples include Michigan’s governor losing extension of emergency powers and various injunctions. However, no high-level officials faced criminal charges, removals from office for misconduct, or personal liability for “terrible decisions.” Criticism focused on overreach, economic harm, excess deaths linked to delayed care/isolation, and inconsistent messaging—but accountability was limited to political backlash, reports, or lost elections.
– Organizations (CDC, WHO, NIH): Reorganizations, leadership changes, and congressional reports highlighted failures in preparedness, communication, and response. Some officials resigned or were replaced amid criticism, but no systemic punishments, defunding at scale, or legal sanctions. Fraud prosecutions targeted relief fund abuse (e.g., PPP loans), not decision-makers.
In summary, despite massive global impacts—including millions of deaths, economic disruption, and eroded trust—formal punishment has been negligible. Efforts have centered on investigations, hearings, civil lawsuits (often unsuccessful against officials due to immunity), and political debate rather than criminal justice. China has evaded consequences, and Western officials have largely faced professional or reputational scrutiny at most.

That’s now down the memory hole and followed by a new mess: the quagmire Israel fooled Donald into.
Iranians, smart?
Evil, yes, they have no match.
Rich, yes, in the last century, American oilmen made them rich.
Dangerous, yes, they continued to threaten President Trump, Senator Graham, and others last week.
But, they would really be dumb to claim credit for the senator’s death, just to jab President Trump.
Yup, really dumb.
that definitely would not be smart because #1 he’s a friend of President Trump #2 He’s a senator #3 He’s an American.
Hamid Reza Dehghan, a naval air-defense officer in Iran’s regular army, was killed in overnight strikes targeting Jask in Hormozgan Province, southern Iran.

Conspiracy theories are swirling over the sudden death of Senator Graham.
• 5 days before his death, the IRGC publicly threatened him
• He was in Kyiv, meeting with Zelensky and prepping a new sanctions package against Russia shortly before his death
• Reports say he was back in the U.S. for under 24 hours before collapsing and later dying
People are already questioning whether it was Russia or Iran, but it could just have been clogged arteries or heart disease. Lindsey Graham’s passing doesn’t just leave South Carolina looking for a new senator; it immediately reshapes the political landscape in Washington.
Because Graham had already won the Republican primary, South Carolina will now hold a fast-tracked special primary to choose a new GOP nominee for November’s midterm election.
The race could also accelerate the Republican Party’s shift toward its populist wing.
Mark Lynch, who challenged Graham in this year’s primary, is already being discussed as a possible frontrunner. In the meantime, Republicans are left with an even thinner Senate majority, making every closely contested vote more precarious. Lindsey Graham, 71, is gone, and whatever you thought of him, his fingerprints are on more of the last 2 decades of American foreign policy than almost anyone else in Washington. The South Carolina Republican chaired the Senate Judiciary Committee – @MarioNawfal

I think it would be prudent to publicly disclose the death certificate and official cause of death. A formal autopsy should be called for: it should be fairly straightforward, but eliminate public talk.
These circumstances do arouse suspicion. Especially if a crime was committed against him on a foreign state visit, that would be crucial to know and then properly respond to. (And if not, the Ukranians would want to be vindicated.)
Our “government would not hesitate to alter Graham’s death certificate to agree with their published version of Graham’s death.
I wonder if a standard full autopsy would test for more exotic causes (poisons, pharmaceuticals).
Further testing would be of no consequence as our federal “government” would change the results to match their current version of Graham’s death.
*No covid Vx death will ever be admitted officially* even if conclusively determined by an honest & lucid coroner.
Got a Netanyahu and Mossad inspired quagmire they’ve FINALLY managed to sucker us into that isn’t very popular and which didn’t turn out nearly as well as promised?
Better codify some stuff quickly in your AIPAC and MIC owned Congress.
Did Netanyahu claim responsibility for Sections 219 and 224 of the House’s 2027 National Defense Authorization Act?
Grok:
Yes, Netanyahu effectively claimed responsibility for the initiative behind these sections (noting that Section 224 was later renumbered to Section 219 in the House version of the FY2027 NDAA).
On June 1, 2026, Netanyahu sent a letter to Rep. Marlin Stutzman (R-IN) explicitly thanking him for endorsing “my plan” to shift the U.S.-Israel defense relationship. This involved moving away from traditional aid toward “a new framework of joint defence cooperation, codevelopment, coproduction and mutual investment” in precisely the areas covered by the NDAA provision (e.g., advanced missile defense, AI, unmanned systems, cybersecurity, and next-generation platforms).
Explain how Section 224 (now 219) of the National Defense Authorization Act could increase Israeli political influence in the US.
Grok:
Section 224 of the House’s 2027 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA)—the “United States-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative”—would channel U.S. defense dollars into joint research, co-production, and licensing deals with Israeli firms. Critics say this spending increases Israeli political influence in the U.S. in three key ways:
1. Job creation in U.S. congressional districts
Section 224 would enable Israel to expand or build new co-production facilities on U.S. soil (like its existing projects in Mississippi and Arkansas). When Israeli companies build or scale production in a member of Congress’s district, they create local jobs. That gives Israeli interests a direct lever: lawmakers become more likely to support Israel to protect employment in their district.
| Mechanism | Political effect |
|———–|——————|
| Co-production plants in U.S. states | Jobs → local business community & unions support pro-Israel positions |
| District-level economic stake | Lawmakers from those districts become reliable allies on Israel votes |
2. Deeper integration of defense industries = “lock-in” influence
The provision would fuse U.S. and Israeli defense supply chains across AI, drones, cyber, missile defense, quantum, and autonomous systems. Once Israeli technology and firms are embedded in critical U.S. military systems, it becomes politically and operationally difficult to disentangle them. Critics argue this gives Israel “incredible leverage over America’s own defense priorities” because the U.S. military would depend on Israeli tech and expertise.
3. Shift from transparent aid to opaque acquisition
Traditionally, U.S. military aid to Israel is visible and debated annually in Congress. Section 224 would move much of the relationship into defense acquisition and procurement channels, where oversight is weaker and more technical. This reduces public accountability and makes the partnership harder to challenge or reverse, effectively entrenching Israeli influence in U.S. defense policy regardless of shifts in public opinion.
In short: by turning U.S. defense spending into joint programs that create American jobs, embed Israeli technology in U.S. weapons systems, and operate through less-transparent procurement channels, Section 224 could significantly increase Israeli political leverage over U.S. lawmakers and defense priorities.
Answer 2:
Section 219 could increase Israeli political influence in the U.S. by making the two countries’ defense systems, data flows, and procurement processes more intertwined. That kind of integration can create leverage because it gives Israeli actors more access, more visibility, and more ways to become hard to separate from U.S. defense policy.
How it could work
– Institutional lock-in. Section 219 would create an “executive agent” to fold Israeli technology into U.S. weapons programs and vice versa, including missile defense, AI, quantum, cyber, and autonomous systems. Once systems are integrated, lawmakers may hesitate to challenge Israel because doing so could disrupt programs, contracts, and military readiness.
– Data-sharing dependence. The provision also contemplates “data fusion,” which means combining intelligence and sensor feeds into one targeting picture. If Israeli data becomes part of U.S. operational systems, that creates ongoing dependence and gives Israeli counterparts more influence over how the U.S. military sees and uses information.
– Less congressional oversight. Critics say the bill pushes cooperation into executive and procurement channels rather than separate, explicit congressional approvals. That reduces public visibility and makes it easier for the relationship to expand without the same level of debate, which can entrench political support over time.
– Policy leverage through interdependence. When the U.S. military relies on another country’s technologies, supply chains, or expertise, that country gains bargaining power. In practice, that can translate into stronger Israeli influence on U.S. defense priorities, because U.S. officials may want to preserve the partnership and avoid jeopardizing shared systems.
In short, Section 219 could increase Israeli influence not mainly by direct lobbying, but by embedding Israeli technology and intelligence into U.S. military infrastructure in ways that create long-term dependence and political inertia.

“Grok” is a joke… Why not just go directly to wikipedia and snopes to get your info?
All Ai can be sketchy, but Grok will at least cite sources when it replies.

Gemini does the same. You get the “cite” for everything and it’s free.
Copying and pasting spam is this account’s signature and Grok is the best known way for stroking his girlfriends like Douglas McGrger and Robert Malone on a daily basis.
Snopes and wiki don’t create enough content for excessive page clutter.

0.o
I find Gemini AI to be very accurate, useful and informative.
You have been posting a lot of really stupid stuff lately, and far too much of it. Your agenda is clear, but your information is completely muddled. You used to be a good poster here, but you seem to have gone off the deep end lately.
Dennis John Kucinich has been reporting that our government and Isrrael’s governments, especially the military are merging?
So, Israeli sabotage of the agreement is easy for them.
Is the MUO signed by Iran and the US more favorable to Iran than the US? Is Israel withdrawing from Lebanon a key requirement for Iran to continue negotiating?
Grok:
Yes, analyses widely describe the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding (MOU, often called MUO) as more favorable to Iran in its immediate terms, though it was a ceasefire framework after a short war rather than a comprehensive final deal.
Key Elements of the MOU (14-point Islamabad Memorandum, signed ~June 17, 2026)
It ended active military operations (including references to Lebanon), reopened the Strait of Hormuz for commercial shipping, and set a 60-day window for final negotiations on a broader deal (extendable by mutual consent). Major provisions include:
– Immediate US concessions/economic relief for Iran:
– Lifting of the naval blockade within 30 days and removal of forces from proximity.
– Immediate waivers for Iranian oil exports and associated services (banking, insurance, etc.).
– Release of frozen Iranian assets/funds for full use (not just humanitarian).
– Commitment to a $300+ billion reconstruction/economic development plan with regional partners.
– Path to terminating *all* sanctions (US unilateral, secondary, UNSC, etc.) on an agreed schedule in the final deal.
– Iranian commitments:
– Best efforts for safe, no-charge commercial passage through the Strait of Hormuz (initially for 60 days; demining, etc.).
– Reaffirmation of no nuclear weapons pursuit; status quo on nuclear program during talks; agreement to discuss stockpiles (e.g., down-blending under IAEA) and enrichment in final deal.
– Ceasefire and no new hostilities.
The MOU deferred tougher issues (detailed nuclear limits, missiles, proxies) to later talks while front-loading economic benefits for Iran. Iran could resume oil revenue quickly and access funds, while the US got an off-ramp from the conflict, reopened shipping lanes, and a framework to address the nuclear issue.
Why It’s Seen as More Favorable to Iran
Many analysts (including critical ones from think tanks like Iran Watch and others) call it “lopsided” or a significant win for Tehran in the short term:
– Iran gained an economic windfall (oil sales, assets, sanctions relief path, reconstruction pledges) with limited immediate verifiable concessions on its core capabilities.
– The US appeared to need the off-ramp more urgently (to stabilize energy markets, lower oil prices, and claim a deal), settling short of initial war aims like fully dismantling Iran’s nuclear/missile programs or regime change.
– Iran maintained leverage for final talks while rebuilding financially. Critics in the US/Israel argued it empowered the regime without sufficient curbs.
US officials framed it as pragmatic (reopening Hormuz, status quo freeze on nukes, path to better behavior), but even they acknowledged the upfront benefits to Iran. The MOU has faced implementation issues and accusations of violations from both sides, with some calling it “almost dead” by early July 2026.
It was not a final treaty—more a temporary ceasefire with incentives. Outcomes depend on the 60-day (or extended) negotiations.
On Israel Withdrawing from Lebanon as a Key Iranian Requirement
Yes, Iran has explicitly treated Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon (or southern Lebanon territories occupied during the conflict) as a major condition linked to the MOU and continued negotiations.
– Point 1 of the MOU references termination of operations “on all fronts, including in Lebanon” and Lebanon’s territorial integrity/sovereignty. Iran interprets this (and has publicly stated) as requiring full Israeli withdrawal for the war to truly end and for talks to proceed.
– Iranian officials (e.g., Foreign Minister Araghchi) stated that without Israeli withdrawal, the war hasn’t ended, and Iran would halt negotiations. This was a pre- and post-signing position.
– This created tension: Israel rejected it, sought to maintain positions against Hezbollah, and viewed the MOU as not binding them directly. Separate Israel-Lebanon talks occurred, but Iran tried to link them. Hezbollah and Iran have used this for leverage.
In short, it’s a key Iranian demand for sustaining the process, though not necessarily a formal US-enforceable precondition in the MOU text itself—more a political linkage Iran insists upon. This has complicated implementation amid ongoing regional frictions.
Overall, the MOU reflected a mutual desire to de-escalate after costly fighting but gave Iran stronger immediate economic/diplomatic breathing room. The situation remains fluid with reported violations and breakdowns.
The MOU did not and does not represent the madmen who now control Iran.
Nice try, but it was always completely pointless. And we always knew it. Literally the only thing that can be done with these people is to kill them. They don’t comprehend anything else.
You are the “Great Satan,” and as soon as we can trigger(!) Doomsday, the “12th Imam” will reappear!! By the light of all those nuclear explosions, we will stand very expectantly by that hole in the ground with a rope and a ladder. Allah will be so pleased!
While by no means an Iran scholar, it seems there are three powers fighting for control and that’s politicians, military and religious. We, it would appear, are trying to get someone to take control of it all. Until then we’re trying not to hurt Iran any more than we have too. In other words, my opinion only, the MOU is allowing time.
The Iran Memorandum of Understanding is best understood as just that; it represents a set of facts that both sides agreed exist at a particular point in time. It is not a framework for a future permanent agreement.
I have often heard in the Treehouse folks loving to hate California, expressing a willingness to abandon the state to a communist takeover. I and others have often rejected this sentiment. Come to your own conclusions;
California Remains America’s Agricultural GiantCalifornia generated $67.4 billion in agricultural production value in 2024, nearly twice as much as any other state.
Its combination of specialty crops, fruits, vegetables, nuts, dairy, and favorable growing conditions allows it to produce more agricultural value than any other U.S. state despite accounting for only a small share of the nation’s farmland.
Texas, another large state by both population and land area, ranks third nationally, generating $37.6 billion driven largely by cattle production.
https://www.zerohedge.com/economics/which-states-produce-most-food-america
At any point that a State becomes a threat to national security, The federal government will seize said State and terminate said threat. I think we can count on that. Everything else is politics and graft.
great post and a great defense of CA. Never been or probably never will be there but you’ve given a good report.

But pretty soon now most of the water there will belong to that Wonderful couple – Stewart and Lynda Resnick – and the 50+ existing and ~25 planned Tech Bros data centres. 🙁
Yep and California water rights supersede AZ and NV.
Rapid, immigration-driven growth also sucks up precious water resources.
The “tech bros” don’t use water for data centers. The water is used in a closed system like your car radiator’s cooling system. 😎
🤔 At the circuit board end, true. But at the atmosphere end all that heat has to go somewhere, and since data centres don’t typically move through the air as quickly as cars, cooling towers are needed. Big ‘uns. 😉
Grok:
“Modern AI data centers consume significant amounts of water, primarily for evaporative cooling of servers, with additional indirect use tied to electricity generation.
Water use varies widely by facility size, location/climate, cooling technology (e.g., evaporative towers vs. dry/liquid cooling), and workload intensity (AI training/inference generates more heat than traditional computing).
Direct (On-Site) Water ConsumptionData centers withdraw water and consume (evaporate) most of it—often ~80-85%—via cooling towers to dissipate heat.
US totals (mostly relevant to AI hyperscalers):
Global data center water consumption (direct) is estimated at ~560 billion liters (~148 billion gallons) annually now, potentially rising to 1,200 billion liters by 2030.
Indirect Water Use (Electricity Generation)This is often larger—sometimes 5–20x direct use—because power plants (especially thermal/fossil) use water for cooling. AI’s high energy demand amplifies it.
Broader AI projections (2025–2030):

Answers from Grok with supporting details removed:
How likely is the SAVE Act to pass?
Very low likelihood in the near term (e.g., before the 2026 midterms).
If the Democrats take the House after the mid-terms does that make passage more or less likely?
Less likely—substantially so.
Now you know the real reason for the Iran Conflict.
Why not pray to God instead of asking grok.

Why would it still be even standing at this point?
It was allowed to?
Like it or not, there is only one way to eliminate the threat that is now being caused by the radicals who hijacked Iran/Persia. That “only one way” is simply to kill them. Send them straight to their “72 virgins” and let them now begin their f&ck-storm while their Allah looks on.
Their “ancient neighbors” should have long ago took proper measure of who and what these people actually were, and should have dealt with it 46.995 years ago. Well, they didn’t.
It seems a little strange that Israel, long considered to be an “enemy” by these ancient neighbors, was the one who (along with the United States) finally engaged in a meaningful military response to accomplish what has to be done. They are the ones who finally went to the rescue.
While I sincerely appreciate President Trump’s attempts to reach an alternative solution, this programming is simply not embedded in these people’s firmware. Virgin-meetings are the only way. “Blast them to bits,” in the most secretly-informed and targeted way that you can. But remember: it’s their choice, not yours. You tried.
Somewhere under 47 years of wreckage, the people of Persia/Iran are still there. They have abandoned hope.

Over the last several years I have been posting nonstop on X about the same nightmares we’ve been living through…the COVID psyop, the experimental mRNA shots, the mandates that destroyed lives, the injuries, the excess deaths, and the relentless propaganda machine that tried to silence anyone who noticed the bodies piling up. I have watched it all in real time: the fear porn, the goalpost moving, the “safe and effective” lies repeated like gospel while real-world data told a different story.
Now we have fresh, documented revelations that should have blown the lid off of everything. Instead? Crickets from the media and, more disappointingly, from the current administration that promised accountability.

C**k Blocked
A phrase suddenly everywhere among senior government appointees, and what its spread reveals about who is really winning in Washington.
Dr. Robert W. Malone
Jul 08, 2026
https://www.malone.news/p/cock-blocked
The short version. A crude phrase, c**k blocked, has become the house idiom of this administration’s senior appointees, and it is worth taking seriously. The word is evidence that the permanent bureaucracy is quietly winning. The populist agenda is being obstructed from below by career staff and, more consequentially, captured from above by the very industries it promised to confront. Three fights, over talc, glyphosate, and atrazine, show the machinery at work.
Even the fact that women now use a phrase once reserved for locker rooms is a clue to how thoroughly this bureaucratic culture has permeated the administration.
[snip]
And it lines up with how these officials describe the machinery around them. They point to the career staff they inherited, the government lawyers, the mandatory rulemaking process, the court injunctions, the inspectors general, and the endless procedural hurdles that are Washington’s natural state.
They do not experience these as honest checks on executive power. They experience them as bad-faith interference by people whose real objective is tribal and aimed at protecting their own territory. The slang compresses that grievance into two words. When an entire group independently settles on the same vivid phrase to describe its daily experience, it is usually telling you something real.

This may be new information, or old hat for others – and it is not an excuse.
It is, what it is (or was).
When there is an ’emergency’ declared ( flood, rescue, bad weather, health, road closure, and / or a broken finger )
then
often times, a lot of the normal, paced, procedures, processes, standards, regulations, rules of engagement, safety protocols etc.
are bypassed,
so as to serve an intended at the time, bigger purpose, more quickly.
Sometimes the ’emergency’ is given a name.
Most times, the emergency just happens – with a quick solving remedy.
For example:
When a surprise flood wipes out a transportation access – and an access is needed in order to provide help to others – then
and access is made
(without …environmental reviews, alternative route studies, hand wringing over funding, getting permission to access property etc.)
There are pluses and minuses to declaring an emergency.
Another example:
And yeah, telephoning officials about a local emergency, for help
could have some responders ignoring street signs etc. etc. (and some people become saved)
And sometimes, well after the ’emergency’
some can wonder if the prior emergency, really was a worthwhile emergency.
Does better safe, than sorry, apply?
p.s.
[ encouraged by doctors ]
‘operation warp speed’ was a public-private partnership ’emergency’ in April 2020 (about a month after the ’15 days to slow the spread’ efforts by hand washing social distancing etc. ) to manufacture and distribute a treatment for a spreading virus. And, in part, because it was being done so fast, some review important routine processes were sidestepped and the private part of the partnership wanted liability protection via the ’emergency’ use authorization -and got permission (because, right or wrong after the fact, it was deemed an ’emergency’ at the time).
So, it, the ’emergency’ was (intended) to be about (saving in time) the people,
not about the (often time consuming) process(s).
There are a lot of ’emergencies’. (look at the 911 calls etc)
Is there credit served for lives saved? Or, is that taken for granted?
Is there credit served for volunteer community services? Or, is that taken for granted?
Did the gene therapy treatment save some lives? I do not know.
Did (does) the gene therapy treatment cost some lives?
Was c-virus an unneeded ’emergency’ and was there a lot of miss leading communications? People know and some are trying to figure that out – 6 years ‘after’ the prior ’emergency’.
Some figured it out, sooner than others.
(hint for a couple decades, the narrative(s) that the media repeats, is too often miss leading to the public – and that is sad, sick, not good… ex. russia collusion gallore for years… etc. And, they are still in business$$$… )

The tragic cases of the Idaho twins rip apart the insidious myth that vaccines are “safe and effective.” Nothing could be further from the truth. It’s utterly maddening that countless parents remain oblivious to the damning evidence, blindly marching their precious infants to pediatricians for so-called “well-baby visits”—a ritual that, for some, is tantamount to delivering them to an executioner.

For 1400 yearsMuslims have been taught that there will only be peace on Earth when all the world is Muslim, which means after the establishment of a global Islamic caliphate.
The tactical method for achieving the Islamic caliphate is jihad which has two faces.
Violent Islamic terrorism that specifically targets civilians, and polite stealth jihad that pretends peace while making war on non-believers using its twin signature tactics––taqiyya (lying in the service of Islam) and hudna (ceasefire pauses used to rearm, resupply, and reattack)….”

You WON’T get the SAVE Act, but you very likely will get this:
Netanyahu tries to deceive America – Section 219 NDAA – Merging of U.S. and Israel militaries (2:58)
FormerMAGA
Jul 2, 2026
Netanyahu claims he wants to end aid to Israel. What he doesn’t say is that he’s trying to quietly merge U.S. and Israeli militaries with a tiny provision in the 2027 defense bill (NDAA).
“For years we’ve sent billions to them anyway, but now it’s it’ll be written in there. It’ll be specific and it’s going to be very, as you know, in Washington, it’s going to be very hard to decouple these things. Like once it’s coupled, it’s very hard to decouple it, right?
A former colleague of mine used to say, when you sign a deal like this, you’re getting pregnant. You know, this is like trying to save in a strange marriage by saying, you know, “Hhey, you know, I know Israel and the US aren’t getting along right now. Let’s have a baby together.” If that sounds stupid, that is as stupid as this deal would be. You know, at a time when there is unprecedented public distrust about the US-Israel relationship, Congress is literally saying, “Let’s have a higher level of military integration with Israel than we’ve ever had before. That’s just foolish. And you know to decouple that you’re exactly right to decouple that once this would get implemented. It would take years if not decades to decouple. You’re talking about common supply chains, common technology sharing. So, you know, at the end of the day, what this really is that this is the ultimate power grab for the Israel lobby in the US. And that is also why I tell your viewers, the Israel lobby is up in arms about me being up in arms about this. And so the Israel lobby is doing everything they can to make sure we don’t get this stripped out of the NDAA.”
Did Netanyahu claim responsibility for Sections 219 and 224 of the House’s 2027 National Defense Authorization Act?
Grok:
Yes, Netanyahu effectively claimed responsibility for the initiative behind these sections (noting that Section 224 was later renumbered to Section 219 in the House version of the FY2027 NDAA).
On June 1, 2026, Netanyahu sent a letter to Rep. Marlin Stutzman (R-IN) explicitly thanking him for endorsing “my plan” to shift the U.S.-Israel defense relationship. This involved moving away from traditional aid toward “a new framework of joint defence cooperation, codevelopment, coproduction and mutual investment” in precisely the areas covered by the NDAA provision (e.g., advanced missile defense, AI, unmanned systems, cybersecurity, and next-generation platforms).

When Alan Dulles and LBJ murdered Jack Kennedy, they put Oswald up in the Book Depository to take the fall for the CIA marksmen who were also shooting at JFK through the windshield.
When the CIA took out Bobby Kennedy, Fall Guy Sirhan Sirhan was a distance in front, firing harmlessly into the ceiling, while CIA security guard Thane Eugene Cesar put 3 slugs in Bobby’s back at point blank range.
When President Jill Biden decided she wanted another term, Homeland Investigations sharpshooters in the 2nd floor window of the BlackRock Building creased the President’s ear, while Thomas Crooks on the roof above them took the fall.
When I say “Fall Guy”, I don’t mean innocent. They were all there, deeply involved and shooting weapons. But the Real Killers were the Three-Letter Assassins.
In other words, using an involved third party-dupe to take the blame is well-established Deep State tradecraft. And that’s what I believe happened with Charlie’s murder.
The Furry Fall Guy was there, deeply involved, shooting perhaps, but I doubt his bullet killed Charlie. Supposedly, he shot straight on with an elephant gun. There should have been a hole in Charlie’s face the size of his mouth but evidently the straight-ahead bullet reached Charlie and decided to take a hard right turn at Albuquerque and go in behind Charlie’s ear.
Interestingly, the university president was not an educator, but a NATO/State Dept. vet. She also decided that a major political assassination would be a great time to pave the grassy courtyard next to the stage.

What are the advantages of hiding Mitch McConnell’s condition with respect to limiting who can replace him?
[snip]
Hiding or downplaying Mitch McConnell’s medical condition (as of mid-2026) could strategically delay or control any Senate vacancy process in Kentucky, limiting who might replace him before his planned retirement.
1. Prevents or delays a special election: Full public disclosure of a severe/incapacitating condition could increase pressure to resign, creating a vacancy. Vague updates keep him technically in office, avoiding the special election process altogether. This maintains the status quo until the regular 2026 election.
2. Controls the field of potential replacements: A special election could open the door for candidates like Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY, a libertarian-leaning Trump critic and McConnell rival) or other outsiders. Some commentary (e.g., from Steve Bannon and right-wing circles) explicitly claims the “establishment” is shielding details to block Massie or similar figures from mounting a quick challenge. McConnell’s allies might prefer a more controlled, party-aligned successor in the regular election cycle.
[snip]
In short, opacity serves as a tactical buffer to lock in the planned retirement timeline, sidestep an unpredictable special election, and favor establishment-preferred outcomes over a rushed free-for-all. This aligns with broader patterns in politics where health disclosures are minimized for strategic control.
When would the time limit expire for Massie to change to an independent to run as McConnell’s replacement?
[snip]
Massie’s realistic window to run as an independent (or otherwise) for McConnell’s seat hinges entirely on a special election being triggered by an early vacancy. If McConnell (or his team) holds out past early August 3, 2026, that path closes, and the regular election process (already locked in with its own nominees) takes over. This is why some commentary frames the timing of health disclosures or resignation as strategically relevant to blocking challengers like him.
Massie’s Conservative Review Liberty Score – A 96%.
That Liberty Score is very misleading. He was never there on the important fights and issues. He was a thorn in the GOP’s side.

Friend of mine has a local sheriff who is a regular customer. The other day he came by & in casual chitchat asks, “how come you didn’t renew your plates/registration?”
She’s been busy with cancer treatments, but she then thought to ask, “how would you know that?” Her 10-15yo car was parked as usual.
He tells her, “we have sensors in our car that alert us.”
Being me- I had to think this through on logistics. And I came to the conclusion the most likely scenario is flock cameras… which then alert patrol cars that enter the same vicinity as a plate that was flagged for whatever reason.
I guess they could have cameras in their cars, auto-scanning every plate they pass, but this would be limited by visual angles etc.
Anyhow, this should be highly questionable on a constitutional level.
You’ll love this one…

Damn! That is messed up, but good to know. Thanks!
It is – and a reason to never own a new car.
In the EU it’s even worse – they’re pushing a law that requires cameras and mics in new cars “to scan the driver’s face and determine if they are distracted” for “safety” reasons…
Yes some police cars have license plate readers. I’ve seen TV shows where the cops cruise slowly through parking lots looking for alerts on stolen cars. The database could easily cause alerts on expired registration. If your car is ever stolen you might just get it back due to these systems. I doubt Flock was used in this situation, since it only shows where a car was not where it is.
‘He’s so dead’: Critics erupt as wife of stricken senator appears to shop new carpet
“Marjorie Taylor Greene told us Mitch is a vegetable and his “Communist Chinese spy” wife is meeting with Chinese leaders instead of rushing home to be by his bedside,” TMZ added. “Meanwhile, Scott Jennings says the 84-year-old politician was lucid enough to have a conversation for ‘just shy of 20 minutes’ about current events.

The Old Fart has FINALLY Kicked the Bucket. Gotta sell the house to get me my Condo on Palm Beach.
Sen. Lindsey Graham died of a ruptured aorta brought on by chronic heart disease, according to the preliminary findings of the DC medical examiner’s office released Sunday.
An initial investigation found that the 71-year-old senator from South Carolina died from “Aortic Dissection due to Arteriosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease,” according to the findings, which were released by the senator’s office.
The rare condition involves a tear in the body’s main artery; it mostly affects older men, according to the Mayo Clinic.
Serious question: Why, oh why, is the press offered a free ride on Air Force One? If they want to report on something they should go, themselves.
Now that we know press leaked the change in the plane being used by the president, after a change was made for security reasons, they should not be allowed to join our president on flights. They are simply not trustworthy.
