Time to read a bit before sleep. Gnight Xitter.

Hosting the World Cup is exactly what we needed - seeing ourselves (the real us, not the media bullshit) through foreign eyes has been so refreshing.

And now, I have a project 😂

Bagel takes selfies 😁

This was our state flag in 1845. Even back then we were tired of the Yankees. 😂

My paper towel seems to be quite excited about something. 🤣

I've been waiting to comment or offer analysis on an MOU between the U.S. and Iran that I haven't seen, but we've heard a lot about Lebanon so let's address it. If “Lebanon” now being included in the deal with Iran means *Iran* is forced to withdraw Iranian Hezbollah from Lebanon, from which they attack Israel and harbor terrorists, then great. But that’s not what’s being said or proposed at the moment. The only reason Israel is responding in Lebanon is because Iranian Hezbollah keeps killing their soldiers with drones and sending bombs into northern Israel civilian communities. If Iran pulled Iranian Hezbollah out of Lebanon the fighting would stop. Further, if the UN had enforced UN Security Council Resolution 1701, held the line and kept Iranian Hezbollah north of the Litani River, Israel wouldn't be operating in southern Lebanon to push them back. If the Iranian regime hadn't colonized Lebanon with its terror proxy Hezbollah in the first place, there would be no issue at all. A reminder: Prior to 9/11 Iranian Hezbollah was responsible for more American murders than any other terrorist organization on the planet. They currently operate in South America - our hemisphere - and partner with drug cartels. SOUTHCOM calls it "Jihad in the Jungle." Just over the weekend in southern Lebanon, Israel took out Ali Musa Daqduq - an Iranian Hezbollah terrorist who killed U.S. troops execution style. The strike was extremely targeted, as the majority of them are. He's one of many Iranian Hezbollah terrorists. to whom the IDF has delivered justice - including Iranian Hezbollah leaders behind the Beirut bombings of the U.S. Embassy and Marine Corps barracks, killing hundreds. Lebanon wasn't in the initial ceasefire deal - for good reason. It makes no sense that it is now, other than to give Iran what they want - which is another life line for their strongest and most organized terror proxy. This is an Iranian demand and objective. Counter to the "forever wars" narrative, this actually ensures there will be more war in the future. As the White House has repeatedly said about the goals of Epic Fury, "We’re ensuring that the Iranian regime cannot continue to arm, fund, and direct terrorist armies outside of their borders.” Lebanon is far outside Iran's borders and Hezbollah is operating there. As the President of Lebanon said last week about Iran and Hezbollah, "It's not your country, it's our country...they are using Lebanon as a bargaining chip in their negotiation with the United States. It's unacceptable." As for who the U.S. is negotiating with in Iran and claims of more moderate leaders than the previous regime being at the table (which I don't believe), you can thank the Israelis for taking out the top three levels of regime leadership so we have "normal" people to negotiate with. Let the Israelis do what they need to do. Iran is still and always has been the hinderance to peace. That hasn't changed and giving Iranian Hezbollah immunity in Lebanon is appeasement that will prolong the conflict.

😂 Keep on rolling, Edie!

Do you practice religious discrimination in Florida, @MLB? You’ll be hearing from my office soon.

BREAKING: Details via federal arrest affidavit reveal that a California man named Michael Alan Thomas was one of the alleged organizers of the alleged UFC White House terror plot. Feds say he admitted he believes the U.S. government is run by elites who sacrifice and eat children, had involvement with Jeffrey Epstein, and are protected by President Trump. Investigators took screenshots of his Signal chats in which details of the plot were discussed and maps of the UFC event were shown with suggestions on where snipers should be placed. Feds also recovered rifles & ammo. Sources tell colleague @davidspunt those in custody are American citizens snd there is no foreign nexus believed to be at play.

This is crazy! I've never found a message in a bottle before while jogging on the beach. This makes me sad... 😂

Awesome album. Very hard to find in Vinyl. Definitely listening to this today at work.

It’s time. Gnight Xitter.

Put a Nate Bargatze stand up video on for the family … humor brings us together, right? Not one guffaw, not even a chuckle. Thinking I might be adopted.

This is amazing. Cardiac arrest is not like the movies or tv shows tell you. After a few minutes a tremendous amount of catastrophic damage occurs. If they can bring you back? Your actual recovery may take years. God bless her and bring her to a full recovery ❤️‍🩹
