BUT WHAT ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT? Scientists May Have Figured Out How to Unlock The Energy of Ocean Waves.

THANKS FOR THE SUPPORT: I really appreciate a number of you ordering my book His Side recently. I sincerely appreciate it.

THE LESSON’S THERE TO BE LEARNED, IF PEOPLE WILL LEARN IT:

This is Qatar tonight.

They were the regime in Iran's greatest ally in the region and consistently did Khamenei's bidding.

But when push came to shove, none of that mattered and Qatar was bombed regardless.

Let this be a lesson.

Translation:

[President of Iran Masoud] Pezeshkian disavows any responsibilities and says he is “without authority, completely cut off from the leadership structures, and there is no justification for targeting him.”

A political advisor in a Gulf state confirmed that Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian informed a number of his counterparts in the Arab Gulf and other countries, including Russia and Turkey, that “in light of the collapse of the constitutional leadership structure in the country and his disconnection from communicating with its components, he absolves himself of responsibility and emphasizes that there is no justification for targeting him.”

Pezeshkian fancies himself a moderate — whatever that means in the Islamic Republic regime — so who knows?

Not only do we have too few ships, but in a major war, each one lost to enemy action is almost certainly an irreplaceable lost within the duration of the war.

I DUNNO, ASIDE FROM A TEMPORARY SPIKE IN OIL PRICES, SO FAR THEIR FREE-RIDERSHIP SEEMS TO BE WORKING FOR THEM: Trump Wonders if Crushing Iran Would Wake Up U.S. ‘Allies.’

CHRISTIAN TOTO: Trump Effect? Oscar Ratings Crater in Second Term.

These celebrity galas often feast on anti-Trump lectures, be it those “ICE out” pins or mocking the First Family. The messages may differ, but the target is typically the same.

President Trump.

And, as a result, Hollywood, Inc. watched awards show ratings slump.

Their ratings stabilized somewhat during the Biden years, but with Trump back in office, the ratings decline resumed. Just look at the just-released Oscar numbers.

Also, Hollywood largely stopped making (and awarding) movies people want to see. Trump or no Trump, why tune in to see which movie you never even heard of won Best Picture?

OLD AND BUSTED: Russian Election Interference.

The New Hotness? US intel hid Chinese 2020 election meddling from Trump because they opposed his policies, memo says. “Dr. Barry A. Zulauf, a member of the Senior National Intelligence Service reported that others in the intelligence community said ‘I don’t want my intelligence going to the White House where it will be used by that vulgarian in the Oval Office to support policies against China with which I personally disagree.’”
