Typing is slow today—I’m having to use a substitute keyboard. The “s” on my good keyboard stopped working and I couldn’t fix it. From the reports we’re getting this morning this sounds a bit like an April Fool’s Joke staged by the US and Israel. The best reports are that Israel used infiltrated terrorist groups inside Iran to launch a few drones that were all shot down or crashed. The guess is that Iran will laugh this one off—probably. Here are a few reports:
It’s no coincidence that the Uniparty is seeking to pass sweeping new powers to ban websites and spy on Americans at the same time that it bankrupts America with forever wars. This agenda is increasingly unpopular and can only be propped up with authoritarian tactics.
On a Chromebook I temporarily restore frozen keys by closing the unit, turning it over, and gently rapping on the place above where the harness from the builtin keyboard connects with the motherboard.
BREAKING: In the last couple of hours, Belgian Deputy PM Petra de Sutter announced that Belgium will spearhead a re-evaluation of the EU-Israel free trade agreement. Additionally, Belgium will co-sponsor a new UN resolution to recognise the State of Palestine. #Gaza #Israel
Two articles I read mentioned Iran and Israel have been in a shadow war. Not openly directly attacking each other. The attack on the embassy broke the status quo, along with Iran’s retaliation.
This Israeli attack seems to be trying to go back to the war in shadows.
Last night when the reports about Iran came in, I decided to plane geek & see what I could see. It looked like the airport at Isfahan was closed for a short time; there was a swath of airspace from Tehran, down to Isfahan then down to Shiraz that did not seem to have air traffic for a while. The rest of the airports/airspace were open & operating. Isfahan opened before I went to bed, all the air traffic was back to normal in Iran when I got up at 8am EST. There was a Navy Poseidon P8A over the straight over Hormuz, but its gone now. I'll have to pay more attention to who is going in & out of Niger & Chad, as I watch gov't registered planes as well as military ones.

 Among many other things, over the past week the Russians have shot down 10 ATACMS missiles and 6 Storm Shadow missiles.
The best NATO missiles of all types are now almost entirely impotent against Russian air defenses.
Tomahawks would be child's play.

I wish there wasn't so much counting coup going on.
Why isn't it sometimes goal accomplished and the less said the better.
At least not slam the gate so loudly to truth and reconciliation, pyrrhic for the
while it must be. Actually censorship steals that space and directs it. One may not speak freely
when it is most appropriate. Then the bleachers are ready to roar when the umpire says so.

Per Rep. Matt Gaetz U.S. troops are still in Niger, but not being re-supplied.
Translation - Biden Admin is hoping for a miracle and does not want to withdraw. Perhaps afraid of bad publicity hurting Biden’s reelection campaign.

Suddenly “Out of Africa” has a whole new meaning.
Thanks Mark. I read this twice. The first time as normal, the second time I mentally removed all the "S"'s. It was silly fun. Go Illinoi.
