WELL, THEY WORK FOR HER NOW:

HMM: What Is Really Going on in Iran While Israel Braces for Retaliation?

Compared to previous incidents, “Iran and Hezbollah are more willing today to take the risk of escalation,” Zimmt said, “even if it means dragging themselves into a full scale confrontation.”

Still, he said, Iran’s leadership is torn on what the response should be. He compares the more pragmatic approach that doesn’t necessarily oppose military retaliation against Israel but doesn’t want to cause a full-scale regional war, with the hardliners, represented by the Revolutionary Guards, calling for a severe and direct attack.

“My sense is that right now, mainly due to the fact that [Iranian President Masoud] Pezeshkian is new, inexperienced and has not yet come up with this new administration, the position of the power of the more hardliners in Iran, seems to be higher, and therefore, I think we will see that in Iran’s upcoming retaliation against Israel.”

I guess we’ll have an answer all too soon.

EXCLUSIVE: Rasmussen Reports Talks 2024 Polling. “To get a response to these accusations and to get some answers about the state of the race, I spoke with Mark Mitchell, the head pollster at Rasmussen Reports. We delved into the current political climate and polling dynamics surrounding Harris and Trump.”

COLONIALISM, STRAIGHT UP: Progressive Dems In Michigan Tell Undercover Journo They Were ‘Ballot Harvested’ Out Of Office By Muslim Voter Fraud Network.

More: “Hamtramck’s first woman mayor told our journalist she is ‘absolutely positive’ she was ballot harvested out of office. Karen Majewski lost her election bid in 2021 after serving the city of Hamtramck for 18 years, first as a city council president, and then 16 years as mayor. A true Hamtramck insider, Majewski shepherded her city through major ethnic, racial, and religious shifts only to see the town’s progressive open door policy result in her ouster.”

There’s a lesson there but I suspect Majewski failed to learn it.

I WAS A BETA ON THIS ONE AND IT’S GOOD:

FROM ANNA FERREIRA:  The Root of All Evil.

#CommissionEarned

When murder comes to Stockton, it brings long-buried secrets in its wake…

Kate Bereton leads a busy but unexciting life as the clergyman’s only daughter in a small Dorsetshire village. She’s grateful for the break in routine heralded by the arrival of her stepmother’s latest guests, but when Kate discovers a dead body in the parsonage one morning, she finds herself in much more danger than she could have ever anticipated. Terrified and desperate, she turns to the local magistrate for help. Mr. Reddington is eager to aid his dear friend Miss Bereton, but can they discover the murderer before it’s too late, and the secrets of the past are forgotten forever?

With a dash of romance and a generous helping of mystery, The Root of All Evil is a charming whodunit that will delight fans of Jane Austen and Agatha Christie alike.

THE ONE THING I CAN TELL YOU IS THAT IT’S INTERESTING:  Reading Tea Leaves.
