  1. A new must listen interview with International Advisor to Netanyahu, Caroline Glick https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYhbqZKu6Tc

    Iran was not only close to fissionable nukes, but prepping to out “arms race” to deliver them. At least that’s my inference from her notice that Iran aimed to make 100 ballistic missiles per month.

    “Negotiations” wee just a delaying tactic for the Mad Theocrats.

  2. The first time you hear a bald eagle is surprising to some. Certainly was to me. In media they are usually dubbed over with red-tailed hawk calls and have been for decades, so not what people are led to expect. They are very high pitched and sound a bit like quik-quik or chicken clucking or sea gulls. They are quite loud, which is the only thing about their calls that indicates it might come from such a large bird.

    In Alaska they are like pigeons. One soaring majestically above a canyon is an impressive sight. Fifty of them standing around hoping you drop fish guts is a very different impression.

  3. Mullah IQ Test

    D. George W. Bush
    E. Barack Obama
    F. Joe Biden
    G. Donald J. Trump

    Your survival may depend on your answer.

  4. That bird looks the teacher I had for fourth grade. I wonder if it smells like she did.

  5. “BREAKING: Reza Pahlavi ‘Accepts’ Transitional Leadership of Iran”

    Pahlavi: Iran is ‘not Iraq,’ nation will hold free elections, establish ties with Israel

    Pahlavi expressed immense gratitude to US President Donald Trump for his role in the operation and for his words of encouragement to Iran’s citizens.

  6. We need a bunch of those lyrebirds, train ’em to mimic bomb blasts, turn ’em lose in Iran.
    Their military abandons posts in fear, good guys rush in, no casualties.

  7. Worse than any of the bird calls is the AI voice that is ubiquitous on the net. Makes me gag as soon as I hear it and then instantly kill the video.

  8. Paul in Boston:

    You are right that it’s become widespread and is terribly obnoxious. But often the video is still good despite it.

  9. The New Age is still around I guess, and with it things like this.*

    Decades ago I was lucky enough to find a very talented massage therapist who, when she worked on me, could sometimes project some sort of energy from her hands which I could feel moving through the muscles she was in contact with and working on; it was faint, and like a very small electrical current, but it was there. It also helped that she would play some very effective New Age type background music as she worked; it really helped set the mood.

    In contrast, the below–I guess some sort of very theatrical “energy work”–just seems ridiculous to me.*
