Trump has to be sitting and gloating with his immediate success in the war with Iran.
First a young girl’s school was bombed and roughly 800 young ladies killed. Nothing to be proud of. Nevertheless, a big hit.
Soon the same day or next, Iran’s Supreme Leader’s home and capitol building are bombed. Ayatollah Ai Khamenei was killed.
Trump should beware how he gloats. What goes around, comes around. I suspect Iran will devise a plan for reaching the White House and/or Mar-a-Lago. They may very well get Trump.
This disastrous attack on Iran reminds me of Pearl Harbor. The U.S. Navy was wiped out that first day. Thousands killed. Yet some 6 months later the U.S. “came back” and basically destroyed the Japanese Navy in the Battle of the Coral Sea and then the Battle of Midway.
Iran has vowed “no leniency.” Revenge/retribution will be theirs.
Iran claims the U.S. and Israel violated U.N. Security Council Rules. Unusual. The U.S. generally follows U.N. Security Council Rules. Not surprising however that Trump may have violated the Rules. He has a track record for violating everything.
Note also that peace negotiations were ongoing at the time the U.S. and Israel dropped the first bombs. The ones that killed the young girls. While Iran was talking peace with the U.S., no warning was given Iran that the U.S. considered the talks were a failure and was bombing Iran. Dirty pool of a sort. Not the U.S. way of doing things. Trump’s way apparently.
Trump’s attack on Iran unprovoked. The nuclear weapons Trump has been pontificating about are still roughly seven years away. The U.S. was facing no immediate danger. There was no legal basis for the strike. The attacks Hitleresque.
Prior to Trump, the U.S. led the free world. Ninety nine percent of the time. Trump as eroded that recognition. The U.S. a mess. The world a mess. With one thing certain. Most countries, if not all, not following an American President’s dictates any longer. Thank you, Donald.
Iran faced with an even worse situation this year. Food inflation. Not because of the war. The food inflation for Iran in 2026 was predicted in a study late in 2025.
What follows is shocking. Iran was suggested to be the hardest hit re inflationary food prices in 2026 at 56 percent Would you believe? The war and food inflation at the same time. The war not a cause of the food inflation. However will surely cause it to rise.
Enough of the war. Necessary to comment on various phases, however. The war could be the bedrock for future adverse results globally.
Melania Trump led a U.N. Security Council meeting. Why? Is it because she is a Trump and can do anything she desires?
Kennedy Center “Honors” are getting a new name. The name finalized. The new name: “Trump Kennedy Center Honors.”
A disgrace to the Center and President Kennedy.
Immigration detention centers are basically void when it comes to spiritual care. Religious groups are suing for access. Others denied entry are waiting to see what happens with the lawsuits.
What did ancient Romans eat? Not bad. Appears healthy. Olives and olive oil big. A daily key essential. Grains like barley millet and spelt flour. Cherries, peaches and dates. Where meat was available, ox, pork, deer, lamb and pigeons.
The Articles of Confederation were ratified and went into effect this day in 1781.
The Peace Corps was established this day in 1961. Highly popular. Did much good.
An excellent person for our next President is Mark Kelly. Presently a U.S. Senator, formerly an astronaut and 25 year Navy veteran, Captained a carrier. Please consider him as time moves on.
Enjoy your Sunday! A warm one!
