As things become more clear it does look as though Israel may be setting up air corridors and aiming to control the skies for a longer, multi-wave campaign.

No reports as yet to follow three waves of Israeli strikes, but that could change, depending on how Iran reacts. Taking down Iranian air defenses first may simply be a preparatory step anticipating Iranian retaliations, which then invite further Israeli action. We’ll wait to see.

Kate:

I think it’s a heavy lift, but if current Trump momentum continues, it’s possible.

Kamala is such an unbelievably bad candidate. Democrats have brought this on themselves.

Preference cascade ho!

Thanks for the news. If Israel is attacking Tehran, that means Game On!

Since I’m an inveterate dot-connector, I’ve got to wonder if this relates to the improving odds of a Trump victory.

Smoke and Flames can be seen rising from the Site of an Israeli Strike on the Iranian Capital of Tehran.

So it seems to me. I’m voting early tomorrow in the UNM Student Union. Many Republicans have been voting early too.

Even New Mexico may be in play. Maybe. I’m sure the polls underestimate Trump as usual for whatever reasons.

If one considers where Trump was a year ago and all the lies, lawfare, and even assassination attempts thrown at him, this is the most epic battle for the presidency I’ve seen in my lifetime.

Good thing too. I’m an optimistic fellow but four years of Kamala & Cabal would be perilous.
