I will die on this hill. I would rather live in a world with mild climate change and reliable energy from fossil fuels than in a world where climate activists win, our energy system is unreliable and expensive, and we have less choice and opportunity as humans. Weigh these tradeoffs honestly, and I think you will come out on the same side I have.
A front-page piece from veteran New York Times White House and national security correspondent David Sanger, long the enforcer of Democratic foreign policy dogma, claims that military action against Iran is “the ultimate war of choice.”
To support that claim, Sanger undercut a major report in the Times from late June (to which he “contributed reporting,” natch) that argued Operation Midnight Hammer failed to seriously set back Iran’s nuclear program.
Back then they claimed the bombing wasn’t successful, that Trump had failed to degrade Iran’s nuclear capabilities. Now, Sanger says Iran posed no imminent threat.
It’s the latest example of the Times’s vast and unwieldy White House team writing contradictory attack articles. @Ira Stoll writes: ⬇️

I shall check the legality of fighting them on the beaches, I shall check the legality of fighting them on the landing grounds,in the fields and in the streets, my Attorney General & I will never stop checking the legality.
This radical who told @bourne_beth2345 “I’m gonna hunt you down and fucking kill you,” has been identified as none other than the Associated Director of Clinical and Translational Science Institute at @UCSF Madeline Mann!
I wonder if @UCSF wants to comment on why they’re okay with employing a psychopath who doesn’t see anything wrong with hurling death threats at those who disagree with her ideologies.

Widespread Israeli airstrikes ongoing in Tehran against targets linked to the suppression of protesters, according to Kan News
Behold one of the most pristine examples of the Dem/media performative ignorance phenomenon that has infected anti-Trump reporting and punditry like a metastatic cancer.
First, @jonkarl - think. Stop what you're doing, clear your "I've-got-a-scoop-and-it's-craaaaaazy!"-addled mind and just...think.
I'm going to propose a scenario that may conflict with your reporting but hear me out. Listen until the end.
You ready? Here it is: Trump wasn't talking about possible candidates HE and the IC had considered for installing as the new leader of Iran.
Still with me, Jonathon? It gets better.
He was talking about the possible successors Trump and the IC believed that THEY - the Iranians - were most likely to install as the new leader of Iran.
But NOW, when it turns out they were all killed in the first strike, as Trump very accurately informed you, "It's not going to be anybody that we were thinking of because they're all dead. Second and third are all dead."
But you know this, Jonathon. Your buddy @jimsciutto knows this as well, as he repeatedly quotes your reporting on @CNN and braces every guest with the question of "How can we be confident of how Trump is prosecuting the war when the people on his list to take over Iran were killed in the first strike?"
How could you possibly know this? Well, one reason is because a fifth-grader would know it. If I told a fifth-grader what you have told millions of people with this post, he'd say:
"Weren't those men killed with the Ayatollah the highest-ranking military and security leaders in Iran with documented histories of horrific crimes against the people of Iran and throughout the world? Can't we Grok their names and see if it could possibly be true that Trump, the American intelligence community and Israel conferred on this most important and crucial appointment and chose one or more of these evil beings as the man they want to lead Iran into a glorious new future?"
And that, Jonathon, would be a GREAT QUESTION.
So let's Grok their names. Here they are, Jonathon. The men you purport to believe Trump chose as a candidate pool to take over the country from the Ayatollah sitting across the table from them as they met to decide how to repel and respond to the upcoming attack.
See if you can identify which "possible candidates to take over Iran" Trump and Israel green-lighted as the man to whom they would entrust the future of Iran:
BREAKING: Iran has reached out to the US through Omani mediators requesting to resume nuclear talks, per WSJ.
Not really hiding the ball here, are they?
Each Iron Dome interception costs between $50,000 and $100,000 and relies on a stockpile of interceptor missiles.
Each Iron Beam interception costs a few cents and relies only on a power supply.
This is an absolute game changer.
“Venezuela supplies maybe 3-4% of China’s imported oil.”
“But Iran was somewhere between 15-23%.”
Gordon Chang told me that President Trump is “going after the Chinese” with his war in Iran.
“He is doing it indirectly.”
“He’s cutting off their sources of oil.”
“President Trump may allow the Venezuelans to sell oil to China, but not at the heavily discounted rates that China was benefiting from.”
“And Chinese factories are now dependent on cheap oil.”
“Well, they’re not getting it anymore.”
“If they get their oil, they’re gonna have to pay market prices.”
@GordonGChang
⭕️Very interesting video of the Hezbollah rocket launches, it seems like they either suffered a malfunction or were almost immediately intercepted.
I am hearing *unconfirmed* reports that the Magen Or (Iron Beam/Shield of Light) laser system was used to intercept them.
Oh look at these imbeciles in Melbourne mourning a dictator.

How the Washington Post remembers Khamenei:
"With his bushy white beard and easy smile, Ayatollah Khamenei cut a more avuncular figure in public than his perpetually scowling but much more revered mentor, and he was known to be fond of Persian poetry and classic Western novels, especially Victor Hugo’s 'Les Misérables.' ... Some Iranians who knew Ayatollah Khamenei before he became supreme leader described him as a 'closet moderate'' ..."

What an absolute disgrace that @brhodes and @BarackObama spent eight years and incalculable amounts of American influence trying to prop up the Iranian regime.
Shame on them and everyone who thought it was a good idea.
If, after today, Iran's oil no longer goes to China, then, with Venezuela, the Trump administration has cut off supply representing 12%-14% of China's oil consumption.
Were gonna be able to vacation in Gaza, Cuba, Venezuela, Iran and maybe Minnesota soon. Incredible times.

In his Summa Theologiae, St Thomas Aquinas laid out one of the most charitable yet practical arguments concerning immigration that effectively shaped the West for almost 1,000 years.
1. Immigration must always be proportionate so that foreigners can properly assimilate into the culture and mode of worship of the state.
2. Citizenship – and associated rights – should only ever be granted after the third generation to preserve the culture, mode of worship, and constitution of the state.
3. The common good of the citizens must remain the highest priority of the state, meaning, the state's obligation to provide aid to its neighbours can never be at the expense of the citizens.
However, Aquinas ends with the sobering reminder that some peoples and states are incompatible with one another, and these must be held as "foes in perpetuity".
This is a complete disgrace to what passes for “journalism,” though it is entirely typical for Bloomberg. Tedros has now reversed himself on China and the lab leak, and this woman simply lets it sail through without context, without background, and without a single serious follow up question, let alone a tough one. It is beyond embarrassing.
Tedros was elevated to the head of the WHO in 2017 because of China’s backing and despite having no medical qualifications. In fact, he is the first WHO director in history who is not a medical doctor. But that did not matter because he was politically reliable for China. He then spent the crucial early period of the pandemic parroting Beijing’s lies. In 2022 he was rewarded with a second term. Now that he cannot run again, he is suddenly more willing to begin distancing himself from the line he pushed for years, long after the moment when candor would have mattered most.
Tedros is the world’s top public health official. Out of every person on the planet, he had a singular obligation to be honest. Instead, because he wanted to keep his prestigious title and lavish salary, he chose to lie and in doing so helped ruin countless lives. Few betrayals in history rival what Tedros did, and of course this total embarrassment of a “journalist” gives him a pass.
No, it's not. Don't be such a woke-scold.

This is one reason why so many people now feel unmoored. As Canadian science fiction writer Donald Kingsbury eloquently put it in his novel Courtship Rite, “Tradition is a set of solutions for which we have forgotten the problems. Throw away the solution and you get the problem back.”

China just landed a reusable rocket vertically on Feb 11. Meanwhile, Congress wants to keep pouring $4.2 billion per launch into NASA’s single-use SLS. We are in a modern day Space Race with China, and it’s time to let private industry win it for us.
