It is just a matter how you phrase the AI query.

'Some' noted. Lower premiums are favorable to the policy holder on balance.

From the 119 page SCOTUS decision -- Alito concurrence: Putting the kibosh on universal injunctions does nothing to disrupt Rule 23’s requirements. Of course, Rule 23 may (next page) permit the certification of nationwide classes in some discrete scenarios. But district courts should not view today’s decision as an invitation to certify nationwide classes without scrupulous adherence to the rigors of Rule 23. Otherwise, the universal injunction will return from the grave under the guise of “nationwide class relief,” and today’s decision will be of little more than minor academic interest. * * * Lax enforcement of the requirements for third-party standing and class certification would create a potentially significant loophole to today’s decision. Federal courts should thus be vigilant against such potential abuses of these tools.

Thanks AI. Here's my AI answer -- long but this: Nevis-registered insurers can offer several advantages, including a favorable regulatory environment, potential tax benefits, and access to a specialized insurance market. Nevis offers a robust yet flexible regulatory framework, making it an attractive domicile for captive insurance companies and reinsurers. This can translate to lower operating costs and increased efficiency in managing insurance operations

That's question number 1 for the day.

Note this is from the MAY 15 oral arguments on the birthright case: Kavanaugh, a key vote, suggests class-action lawsuits instead Kavanaugh, a member of the conservative wing who sometimes sides with the liberals, suggested that class-action lawsuits would suffice for allowing the challengers to Trump’s executive order to get broad relief from the courts. He brushed away the suggestion from challengers that relying on class certification as a tool raises many of the same issues as nationwide injunctions the president is complaining about. It’s a technical point, Kavanaugh acknowledged, but a potentially important one. Part of what Kavanaugh seemed to be saying was that there was another way for the groups challenging Trump to quickly shut down the order. It might be more challenging and take more time, but, he said, it would be more consistent with the way courts normally work. “We care about the technicalities,” Kavanaugh said at one point. https://edition.cnn.com/2025/05/15/politics/supreme-court-birthright-citizenship-nationwide-injunctions-executive-order

Still, the Supreme Court ruling will not take effect for 30 days. And the justices laid out a potential path for challengers, saying that district court judges could consider whether to take up class-action suits seeking to bar enforcement of the executive order on a statewide, regional or even national basis. Indeed, groups challenging the executive order immediately seized on that opening, with class-action filings in Maryland and New Hampshire. Other challengers are likely to do the same in the coming days. ... Legal experts predicted that the ruling was likely to set off a flood of individual lawsuits and requests for class actions in other matters, with the ultimate impact on the Trump agenda unclear. Regardless, they said it would leave the power of the presidency greatly expanded. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/27/us/supreme-court-birthright-citizenship.html

Jun 27, 2025 10:12 PM IT Iran Carries Out String of Executions and Arrests Amid Fears of Infiltration of Israeli Spies Iran has executed three men convicted of spying for Israel and detained hundreds more civilians in a widening crackdown that rights groups say reflects growing paranoia within the Islamic Republic's leadership following a deadly exchange of strikes with Israel. The executions, carried out by hanging in the northwestern city of Urmia, targeted Edris Ali, Azad Shojaei, and Rasoul Ahmad Rasoul—ethnic Kurds accused of aiding the Israeli Mossad in the 2020 assassination of Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, a prominent nuclear scientist. Their names had previously appeared on a list published by Iran Human Rights (IHR), an Oslo-based advocacy group, which warned that at least ten men faced imminent execution on similar charges. https://time.com/7298282/iran-israel-war-executions-arrests/

Kurilla is scheduled to retire in July. There is 'low profile' and there is 'muzzle'.

In this operation Kurilla certainly got things done. But not even a centcom press release? _____________________ Israel reportedly pushes for Iran strike before pro-Israel US CENTCOM chief Kurilla retires All Israel News Staff | Published: April 20, 2025 Outgoing U.S. CENTCOM chief Gen. Michael Kurilla, who is a strong supporter of Israel, is a leading advocate for a joint U.S. and Israeli military strike on Iran’s nuclear sites, the New York Times reported on Saturday. Since Kurilla’s term ends in a few months, Israeli officials reportedly seek a joint U.S. and Israeli military operation against Iran soon. https://allisraelnews.com/israel-reportedly-pushes-for-iran-strike-before-pro-israel-us-centcom-chief-kurilla-retires

The ‘Biggest Threat to Opsec’ By then, a small group of top military officials at the Pentagon and U.S. Central Command in Tampa had already begun refining attack plans on the Fordo facility and other Iranian nuclear sites that military planners had drawn up years ago. The planning was led by Gen. Michael Erik Kurilla, the Centcom commander, and Gen. Dan Caine, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs. But even as the military planning was being conducted in secrecy, each of Mr. Trump’s social media posts seemed to be telling the world what was coming. The president, said one military official, was the “biggest threat to opsec,” or operational security, that the planning faced. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/22/us/politics/trump-iran-decision-strikes.html via https://archive.ph/374Cz

No -- I was only asking you as someone (I believe) with a military background and would know who CENTCOM was -- as opposed it would seem to many on here. Prior wartime CENTCOM commanders were Schwarzkopf and Petraeus who were hardly adverse to publicity. But seems Kurilla and CENTCOM have gone on the QT.

OK this query for you: It is acknowledged that the mission HQ was at CentCom Tampa. FL, under command of General 'Erik' Kurilla. This is the official CENTCOM press release page.

I posted 3 contiguous sentences and the 3rd one really doesn't make sense without the first 2.

Because some are not going to read the whole article.

From the NYTimes above article: He said, however, that it would be “too much” to assert that Iran’s nuclear program had been “wiped out” after the Israeli and American bombing campaign. Mr. Grossi noted that not all of Iran’s nuclear sites had been struck, and said Iranian officials had told him that they would take “protective measures” for the uranium they had already enriched. Still, he said, the nuclear program has definitely suffered “enormous damage.”

From the above: Q: Sir, you cited a body of credible intelligence to suggest the damage at Fordo and other places. What is that referring to, and when can we see it? SECRETARY OF DEFENSE PETE HEGSETH: I was reading from the CIA director's statement, which came out last night. CIA — again, they do the BDA. They do the assessment. CIA can confirm that a body of credible intelligence indicates — it also goes on to say new intelligence from historically reliable and accurate sources and methods.

NY Times headline this AM: Fate of Iran’s Enriched Uranium Is a Mystery U.S. intelligence agencies had long assessed that, faced with the possibility of an attack on its nuclear facilities, Iran would try to move its stockpile.

So who was in charge of the entire operation? It wasn't Hegseth, Caine, or Rubio.

You asked a question. I answered.

In the video, Sen. Duckworth says Trump is lying about the movement of uranium pre-strike.
