I don't even like the killing of terrorists, but I recognize their elimination is necessary for the safety of Israelis and others, hence the best use of my tax dollars. The IDF as well as Israeli intelligence services are experts in identifying terrorists. The charters. manifestos and other policy statements of Hamas and Hezbollah, as well as their attacks on civilians, also indicate they are terrorists. It's a huge tragedy so many innocent lives are lost because these terrorists hide among the noncombatant population.Fri, 19 Jun 2026 19:42:13 +0000PedaloFri, 19 Jun 2026 19:34:38 +0000Now folks, a lot of people are coming up to me, strong people, smart people, crying actually, saying “Sir, what about the dangerous enriched uranium situation?” And I say there is no situation. There is only tremendous progress. They are saying it was around a thousand pounds of weapons grade stuff. Maybe more. Maybe less. Frankly it changes depending on who is losing the argument that day. And I looked at it and said very simply, it is dust. Very high quality dust. The best dust. People are treating it like it is some kind of national emergency. I said no. It is already at its final form. It is perfect dust. So no need to move it. It can stay right where it is. Now the real story, and nobody is talking about this enough, is regime change. We had regime change. People said it couldn’t be done. They said you need elections, you need protests, you need uprisings, chaos. They say I didn’t even do it. But I did it without any of that. We changed the regime and it looks almost identical. That is the most efficient regime change ever created. Some say it is barely visible regime change. And that is why it is so powerful. The Ayatollah, they say he is gone, dead. I say gone is a very harsh framing. Very fake news framing. Let’s say he has been transitioned into legacy status. And now everyone is talking about the Strait of Hormuz. Very important. Huge waterway. Tremendous waterway. They say it was already open. Wrong. Before it was open in a weak way. A low confidence open. No energy. Nobody respected it. Now it is open in a way that commands respect. People are afraid of how open it is. That is improvement. Now the money. Six hundred billion dollars. People keep bringing it up like it is a problem. And I say no. That is not a problem. That is investment storytelling. We did not lose six hundred billion. We deployed six hundred billion into uncertainty reduction. Very sophisticated concept. Very advanced. And people are saying, “But what did America actually get?” And I say that is the wrong question. We got dominance without clarity. We got victory without definition. We got a situation where nobody can agree on reality. And that is the strongest position in the world. Because when everyone is confused, nobody can make problems or challenge you. And when nobody can challenge you, you are not just winning. You are winning in a way nobody has ever seen before. Tremendous win. Possibly the most unrecognizable and understated win in history.Fri, 19 Jun 2026 19:26:01 +0000America vs Great Britain This is what we love to see. And, every single person in the boats are .....

The ruling, which also targets eight members of her production team, has triggered outrage among human rights advocates and renewed scrutiny of Tehran’s treatment of artists, women and public dissent. A Viral Performance Ends in Court Ahmadi, 29, drew global attention in December 2024 when she appeared without a hijab during a livestreamed performance of the patriotic song From the Blood of the Youth of the Homeland. The concert quickly spread across social media and YouTube, attracting millions of views. Within days, Ahmadi and several musicians were detained before later being released pending legal proceedings. Court documents reportedly show that authorities in Qom province sentenced the singer and her collaborators to 74 lashes, alongside two-year bans on foreign travel and artistic activity. Culture Wars Move Centre Stage Iranian authorities accused the group of violating public decency through the production and distribution of what they described as immoral online content. While the judiciary has not publicly released the ruling, rights groups say the case fits a broader pattern of legal pressure on artists who challenge state-imposed social and cultural restrictions. Critics argue the prosecution sends a clear message: public acts of defiance, particularly by women, will continue to face severe punishment despite repeated international criticism. Rights Groups Condemn ‘Cruel’ Punishment Human rights organisations and legal experts have sharply criticised the reported sentence. Lawyers noted that singing and performing music are not explicitly criminal offences under Iranian law. Campaigners also argue that flogging violates international human rights standards and amounts to cruel and degrading treatment. A Symbol Beyond the Music The case has resonated far beyond Iran’s music scene. Exiled artists and activists say Ahmadi’s performance became a symbol of resistance against censorship and compulsory dress codes. For supporters, the ruling highlights a widening gap between official efforts to project a more moderate image abroad and the realities facing artists at home. As pressure on cultural figures grows, many fear the sentence could mark another escalation in Iran’s long-running battle against dissenting voices.

UNICEF says the continuing violence has turned the promised respite into a “deadly illusion”, with children still being killed, wounded and traumatised despite repeated international calls for protection. A Ceasefire That Never Brought Safety Speaking from Amman, UNICEF spokesman James Elder said the reality on the ground bears little resemblance to the image of a functioning ceasefire. According to figures cited by the UN, at least 992 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since the ceasefire was announced in October 2025. Among them were 265 children, an average of one child killed every day for more than eight months. Elder described the figure as “absurd and devastating”, arguing that the continued deaths raise serious questions about whether the situation can still be described as a ceasefire at all. Children Caught Far From Any Battlefield UNICEF stressed that many of the children were not killed on active front lines. Elder said youngsters had died in homes, schools and public spaces while carrying out everyday activities. He cited recent incidents including the deaths of a two-year-old boy, a 13-year-old child inside a tent and a five-year-old boy killed alongside his father in an air strike. The agency argues that such cases highlight the growing gap between diplomatic language and conditions experienced by civilians on the ground. Hospitals Under Pressure as Injuries Rise The crisis extends beyond fatalities. UNICEF says more than 400 children have been injured since the ceasefire declaration, many suffering severe and life-changing wounds. Hundreds are now awaiting urgent medical evacuation, while shortages of medicines and treatment supplies are increasing the risks of infection, complications and permanent disability. Trauma Deepens as Diplomacy Stalls Beyond the physical toll, the UN warns of a widening psychological crisis among Gaza’s children. Fear, displacement and repeated exposure to violence are affecting their ability to sleep, learn and develop normally. UNICEF says the continued loss of young lives is not due to a lack of solutions, but a lack of political will. As diplomatic efforts remain stalled, the agency is urging world leaders to stop treating child deaths as an inevitable feature of the conflict and instead act to prevent further casualties.

Was my earlier post on my thinking on the death penalty allowed? Was that also disruptive? Would be good to know the boundary, although I think it's only "disruptive" when I disagree with you. Got it. The Bible, as you would know, urges you to forgive those who criticse, as Proverbs 13:18 says that whoever heeds correction is honoured. And - of course as you know - Colossians 3:13 tells believers to "Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone". It does not say to call the person an "R Sole" or tell them to "F.O.". I think you need to attend more study groups. Amen.Fri, 19 Jun 2026 17:55:15 +0000There is no real POINT in one's detestation.
