Is it a ‘Peace Deal’ or just a ‘Ceasefire Agreement’?

It is two new modern entries in Ambrose Bierce’s The Devil’s Dictionary.

The term used on Trump’s side is something like “Formation of a Concept of a Plan” a diplomatic way of saying “Trump pulled this out of his ass alongside his enbedded head.”

The Islamic Arabic word for this is Hud…[Read more]

Interesting bit of little-taught American history there. First time I ever heard that.

Here’s the latest of 39 proclamations of “Peace In Our Time.” Trump and whoever he’s negotiating with don’t agree on even a “Memorandum of Understanding” proceeding a “Deal,” with Israel not even in the loop except for Trump restraining Israel from fighting back against Hezbollah.

Where Trump messed up is not taking out both the Mullahs and the IRGC first, preferably by inciting Iran’s regular Military to mutiny and/or parachuting arms to dissenting Persian citizens. Let the military and dissenters be the “boots on the ground.”

Why Iran continues to choose war over peace.

Until then, the IRGC will pursue its “forever war,” threatening regional stability, the global economy, and U.S. national security.

I knew it – neither side wants to back down.  Trump doesn’t know how to cooperate, the IRGC just wants to keep doing its thing.

Rest unassured, the problem of Batya and Frau Megyn, is not Jewish-ness, but shrewish-ness.

Michael Shermer could have picked many other better people than Batya Ungar-Sargon to discuss Anti-Semitism on the Left. Batya’s interview with Megyn Kelly was what cinched it for me.

I got called into work last weekend to solve an emergency in a hospital IT system. Luckily it was a holiday weekend so I managed to get systems up and running again, 2 hours before the first scheduled operation.
