The EU

Google says the EU requires a notice of cookie use (by Google) and says they have posted a notice. I don't see it. If cookies bother you, go elsewhere. If the EU bothers you, emigrate. If you live outside the EU, don't go there.

Iran and the West


For John, BLUFThe idea that we are going to have peace in the Holy Land by following the ideas of Senator E Warren is wrong, and deceptive, and pandering to an emerging American partisan faction.  Nothing to see here; just move along.




From PJ Media, by Writer Roger L Simon, 10 July 2019.

Here is the lede plus one:

Despite warnings from practically everyone, five Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps gunboats tried to seize a British oil tanker in the Persian Gulf Wednesday. They apparently backed off only when they realized the Brits were serious about defending themselves and had no interest in being held hostage, a standard Iranian tactic. Good for them.

The Iranians have been acting out quite a bit lately, testing the limits of our tolerance for violence and breaking the nuclear strictures (assuming there really were any) of the JCPOA, aka the Iran Deal. That deal was always an extreme head-scratcher, that the agreement prevents entry to Iranian military installations by nuclear inspectors was only the tip of an absurd iceberg. And when the Mossad lifted a ton (!) of nuclear documents from a Tehran warehouse showing that Iran had lied about practically everything, the whole thing seemed ridiculous, even though that should have been obvious from the outset.

I am opposed to war with Iran.  They seem like a natural ally in the region.  But, alas, they see the future emergence of the occulted Twelfth Imam and their important role in saving the world [for Allah]  Thus, the following excerpt is important:
It's worth paying attention when they shout "Death to America! Death to Israel!" as they have since most of their populace was alive.  And it's worth remembering what Elie Wiesel said when asked what was the most important thing he learned from the Holocaust (paraphrasing):  "If someone says he wants to kill you, believe him."
On the other hand, if this isn't the end of the world (Climate Change excepted), then we should consider being a refuge for all Jews (and Christians (and other minority faiths)) in the Middle East.  For example, bring Israel to the United States and settle the people in the Northern Plains States.

Hat tip to the InstaPundit.
