Netanyahu asserted Israel’s right to self-defense, “and I say this with appreciation and respect in my good conversations with my friend President Trump.” Netanyahu appears to have openly defied Trump with a strike in Beirut on Sunday and then retaliatory attacks against Iran.

The offensive occurred amid heightened tensions between the nuclear-armed neighbors in the aftermath of an attack on Hindu tourists in Indian Kashmir last month.

Pakistan said India launched missiles at three places, but an Indian government statement did not detail the nature of the strikes.

“A little while ago, the Indian armed forces launched ‘OPERATION SINDOOR’, hitting terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir from where terrorist attacks against India have been planned and directed,” the Indian statement said.

Multiple explosions were heard in Tehran and in the western province of Ilam and southwestern Khuzestan on Saturday in what Israel described as “precise and targeted strikes” on military sites.

The strikes followed weeks of anticipation over how Israel would respond to an Iranian barrage on October 1, which Tehran said was to avenge the killings of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah and Iranian commander Abbas Nilforoushan.

Tasnim, a semiofficial Iranian news agency, reported there would be a “proportional reaction” to Israel’s strikes.

Iran’s foreign minister said the drones, which the sources said Israel launched against the city of Isfahan, were “mini-drones” and that they had caused no damage or casualties.

The post Tehran plays down reported Israeli attacks, signals no retaliation first appeared on Garner Ted Armstrong Evangelistic Association.

Israel struck back at Iran, after being warned about the slightest incursion.  Where it goes from here, we’ll have to wait and see.  News reports say Israel bombed the city of Isfahan, home to a military base and the Natanz nuclear facility.  Whether that’s the end of it, we don’t know.  Iran’s strike against Israel apparently did little damage and didn’t kill anyone.  Not that they didn’t try.  It was an onslaught of drones and missiles, and Israel had help intercepting them.  Even from Jordan.

If you listen to the rhetoric coming out of Iran, they’ve got a lot of big talk about their capabilities and what they might do.  I learned a long time ago that this ilk is prone to a lot of chest-pounding talk and here you see it. Let’s hope that’s all it is.  This is the first time in all these years that Iran has attacked Israel, and they better be careful.  Not that Israel needs another front, but Iran would be making a big mistake.

Three years in, we’ve got troubles we never considered.  More people than ever have breached our Southern border, and the administration is powerless to do anything about it.  They need legislation!  Really?  After 240 years we need a new law to protect our border?  Who ever heard of such a thing?  No nation on earth would allow what’s going on.  It’s almost as bad as what’s happened to Europe with Muslims flooding in.  

We’ve got Muslims as it is, and they’re acting up.  “Death to America,” they chant.  What on earth are they doing here?  We’ve got Muslims in Congress who hate what we stand for, and the very idea that we’ve got idiots screaming Death to America is beyond the pale.  It’s hard to believe they’re not being hustled to wherever back home might be.

Apparently Congress has approved more money for Ukraine.  News from the war zone isn’t exactly encouraging.  The idea that Ukraine is going to defeat Russia is crazy talk.  Putin might be a bad guy, but that doesn’t justify putting vast sums into Zelensky’s hands.  He’s made the rounds, demanding help.  You’ve got to wonder if we’re protecting some of the graft that Ukraine is famous for.

When Trump says we’re like a third-world country, maybe he’s right.  We’ve lost count of the number of indictments.  According to the best legal scholars, they’re flimsy.  Seems like they’re keeping him in court, fending off law fare, so he can’t campaign.  But he’s got his own jet, and will be able to give speeches, as long as he doesn’t violate the “gag orders” that have been issued against him.  Apparently they want some excuse to throw him in jail, but it doesn’t appear to be working.  The more they pile up false accusations, the more popular he becomes.  All their phony indictments may turn out to have been a huge miscalculation.

We’re gearing up for the Passover and Days of Unleavened bread.  Nearly everybody has helped out, and our place looks beautiful.  We’re hoping for a good crowd, and are pretty sure everybody will enjoy themselves.  

God has blessed us, all Americans for that matter.  Why would we squander the peace and security we’ve been given with defiance?  It doesn’t make sense.

The strikes are believed to be just the first in a multi-tiered response by President Joe Biden’s administration to the attack last weekend carried out by Iran-backed militants.

They tell us protest is what the United States is built upon.  We’ve seen “protests” go wrong, ending up in mass looting events, with no effort to put a stop to it. Protesters have free reign, because they’ve got arguments!  Police have to suppress any feelings and put up with their antics. 

Well now there are protests from the other side. Nothing is being stolen, but…traffic is backed up. Apparently the farmers in Europe have had just about enough of the government’s high and mighty rules and regulations. This is happening in Germany and all over Europe. There are details in the demands, but you get the picture. They say it’s all about government subsidies. I think it’s about global warming mandates.  

The concept of protest is the darling of the left. They can be so self righteous in their insistence that something is unfair. What happens when the tables are turned? Have you seen the pictures of the tractors at the Brandenburg Gate? All this lecturing, contrary to common sense, has gotten old.

There are big meetings going on and about to go on in Europe. They talk about the “transition to green energy” as if it’s an article of faith. But there’s a huge wild card, unspoken. You know who. If he should defy all the odds, win the legal cases, all their pie in the sky speeches may mean nothing.

Finally America has struck back against the Houthis. We’ve bombed them high and low, and hope they’ve gotten the message. They’ve been menacing world shipping in the Red Sea for a while now, and that’s a big deal. Much was made of the fact that nothing had been done to make them stop, but finally the U.S. hit them with dozens of airstrikes. Mind you, they are “coalition” air strikes, that way they have to take revenge on lots of us. Many nations have stayed out of the fray, hoping they won’t become a target.  

As much as I’ve enjoyed the scandals of Fani Willis, dare not go into it here.  You’ll have to look on your own if interested.  I don’t think they’re banking on losing to Trump’s lawyers, but it may turn out that way, assuming the judges aren’t swayed by the common logic.  But they may be.  They’ve tried to ban Trump from the ballot, on the pretext that he caused “an insurrection.” Colorado ruled against allowing him to participate based on their own conclusions, borne of kindergarten talk.  Other states have gone down this road, to no avail.  

Meanwhile everybody’s worried about our “democracy.” They think democracy is fine, as long as the authoritarians get to tell us what’s up.

Texas Governor Gregg Abbott has apparently decided that the flood of illegal immigrants has gone far enough. He sent the Texas National Guard to replace federal border agents, taking control of significant acreage comprising a state park in Eagle Pass.  (Why didn’t this happen about 10 million ago?)  He sent in the state’s national guard to dislodge the federal agents who are choreographing the invasion. And wouldn’t you know it.  The Biden regime is suing!  You’re going to love their statement. “Texas’ new actions demonstrate an escalation of the State’s measures to block Border Patrol’s ability to patrol or even to surveil the border and be in a position to respond to emergencies.” It seems that we already have an emergency, that the feds are facilitating.  Just a personal observation.

If they over-run Texas, and end up being able to vote, we’re done. Texas has been a bulwark for conservatism. If this state gets over-run, it may well be a harbinger of things to come.

The U.S. Air Force’s Mideast command said it struck over 60 targets at 16 sites in Yemen, including “command-and-control nodes, munitions depots, launching systems, production facilities and air defense radar systems.”

President Joe Biden said the strikes were meant to demonstrate that the U.S. and its allies “will not tolerate” the militant group’s ceaseless attacks on the Red Sea. And he said they only made the move after attempts at diplomatic negotiations and careful deliberation.
