Oh sure! You #meteorologists who can't come up with a model that accurately predicts tomorrow's weather think you have accurate models of hurricanes? #climate
Jared Kushner, Trump’s son in law and the architect of the Abraham accords wrote on X:
“September 27th is the most important day in the Middle East since the Abraham Accords breakthrough.
I have spent countless hours studying #Hezbollah and there is not an expert on earth who thought that what #Israel has done to decapitate and degrade them was possible.
This is significant because #Iran is now fully exposed. The reason why their nuclear facilities have not been destroyed, despite weak air defense systems, is because Hezbollah has been a loaded gun pointed at Israel. Iran spent the last forty years building this capability as its deterrent.
President Trump would often say, “Iran has never won a war but never lost a negotiation.” The Islamic Republic’s regime is much tougher when risking #Hamas, Hezbollah, Syrian and Houthi lives than when risking their own. Their foolish efforts to assassinate President Trump and hack his campaign reek of desperation and are hardening a large coalition against them.
Iranian leadership is stuck in the old Middle East, while their neighbors in the GCC are sprinting toward the future by investing in their populations and infrastructure. They are becoming dynamic magnets for talent and investment while Iran falls further behind. As the Iranian proxies and threats dissipate, regional security and prosperity will rise for Christians, Muslims and Jews alike.
Israel now finds itself with the threat from Gaza mostly neutralized and the opportunity to neutralize Hezbollah in the north. It’s unfortunate how we got here but maybe there can be a silver lining in the end.
Anyone who has been calling for a ceasefire in the North is wrong. There is no going back for Israel. They cannot afford now to not finish the job and completely dismantle the arsenal that has been aimed at them. They will never get another chance.
After the brilliant, rapid-fire tactical successes of the pagers, radios, and targeting of leadership, Hezbollah’s massive weapon cache is unguarded and unmanned. Most of Hezbollah fighters are hiding in their tunnels. Anyone still around was not important enough to carry a pager or be invited to a leadership meeting. Iran is reeling, as well, insecure and unsure how deeply its own intelligence has been penetrated. Failing to take full advantage of this opportunity to neutralize the threat is irresponsible.
I have been hearing some amazing stories about how Israel has been collecting intelligence over the past 10 months with some brilliant technology and crowdsourcing initiatives.
But today, with the confirmed killing of #Nasrallah and at least 16 top commanders eliminated in just nine days, was the first day I started thinking about a Middle East without Iran’s fully loaded arsenal aimed at Israel. So many more positive outcomes are possible.
This is a moment to stand behind the peace-seeking nation of Israel and the large portion of the Lebanese who have been plagued by Hezbollah and who want to return to the times when their country was thriving, and Beirut a cosmopolitan city. The main issue between Lebanon and Israel is Iran; otherwise there is a lot of benefit for the people of both countries from working together.
The right move now for America would be to tell Israel to finish the job. It’s long overdue. And it’s not only Israel’s fight.
More than 40 years ago, Hezbollah killed 241 US military personnel, including 220 #Marines. That remains the single deadliest day for the U.S. Marine Corps since the Battle of Iwo Jima. Later that same day, Hezbollah killed 58 French paratroopers.
And now, over the past six weeks or so, Israel has eliminated as many terrorists on the US list of wanted terrorists as the US has done in the last 20 years. Including Ibrahim Aqil, the leader of Hezbollah’s Islamic Jihad Organization who masterminded the 1983 killing of those Marines.”
In theory that sounds correct, but what if one of the users boosted the family photo post and they had additional relays configured? Seems like the content could end up "in the wild" fairly easily.
I've been using Fossify Music Player on my Pixel Phone running #GrapheneOS. My song library is in a folder on my phone that I keep synced with #syncthing. To add new songs I purchase the MP3's from Amazon using my Desktop #Linux computer, cleanup the MP3 embedded file tags with #EasyTag and then move them to the phone via the shared syncthing folder on my desktop. I never stream music over a network connection on my phone.
Putting things in perspective:
Turkey's President Erdogan has called for Islamic countries to ally against “the growing threat of expansionism” from Israel.
Let's go to the map shall we.
That tiny speck of red - that's Israel. The rest are Arab League states, but tell me more about Israeli “expansionism”

Definition of Recession:
noun
The act of receding or withdrawing, as from a place, a claim, or a demand
A period during which economic activity, as measured by gross domestic product, declines for at least two quarters in a row in a specific country. If the decline is severe and long, such as greater than ten percent, it may be termed a depression.
Job statistics aren't really how you determine if you are in a recession.

"So they went into the ark to Noah, by twos of all flesh in which was the breath of life. Those that entered, male and female of all flesh, entered as God had commanded him; and the Lord closed it behind him."
Genesis 7:15-16
So God closed and sealed the door to the "Ark of Salvation" so that His wrath which was going to destroy EVERYTHING that wasn't being saved would not harm those being saved! Thank you God!
