Pentagon Shake-up 9/11 re-aligned our military priorities in a manner which, while robust, were neither needed nor judicious with assets deployed appropriately. Iraq? A campaign based on disinformation and with scarce strategic necessity was mounted as a vanity project of President George W. Bush. This proved costly for both sides. The later large movement of troops into Afghanistan with hungry flanks of private contractors and corporations was a colossal mistake. The fraud and profiteering was stratospheric in nature. Special Forces and our highly trained hunt-and-kill military specialists should have been deployed to clean up around the edges. Instead, we chose to submerge two large (national) basements to drown a few rats. Practically everybody but Grandma went to war. And after two decades of war-explore we are left with an Achilles heel. We are weakened, not because of our strength. But we are weakened by dissipation. Pentagon budgeta...

Mental Illness, Fractured Families "If I can stop one heart from breaking...." The profound simplicity of what was written by Emily Dickinson continues to float through my mind as I pray for the surviving members of the Rob and Michele Reiner family. Perhaps it is because I am a registered nurse and because I spent time working in locked psychiatric facilities in two different cities. But more likely my current sentiment is due to the fact that I am lending support to a dear friend and her husband. Their son - has been shipped off to another state for treatment. He returns home on 27 December. They should not open their door. And they should change the locks. The Reiner's told their friends that individuals with diplomas on their walls had lied to them and told them their son was manipulative. The professionals got it right. There is no greater manipulation than that accomplished by drug addiction which leads to mental illness....
Hiroshima in a Box It is time to look at the elephant, the bird, and the rock. The cockroach? It is just in the box because cockroaches survived the radiation from the bombing of Hiroshima. https://opinionbytammy.blogspot.com/2025/12/schrodingers-cat-ii-this-time-there-is.html Years ago - I sat across from a Palestinian man who lived in Israel as a child. His ancestral home was part of the land which is now occupied by the Knesset. His later childhood was spent in Jordan after his family was expelled from the land. He still had his UNRWA card neatly folded in his wallet; and it was my privilege to hold it in my hand. But what was more important - was what was within his very fine skull. Trained as an attorney in Damascus, I remain indebted to him for his generosity of thought. And I am most grateful to him for walking me through the story of a nuclear attack which is laid out in the Surah titled, "The Elephant". ...
II Chronicles 1:11-12 It is a time to mourn: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15385555/donald-trump-rob-reiner-tds-cause-death.html An American President has lost his way: https://www.biblestudytools.com/2-chronicles/1.html Do we rejoice over the death of our enemies? Or are we circumspect regarding our own mortality? Is an American deserving of a violent end because of their right to an opinion? There is opinion; and there is truth. Most of us merely voice our opinions. This remains a Constitutional right. And you have the right to be wrong, to be deceived, and to be affirmed in your own sense of worth. I am sure that Mr. Reiner was comfortable in his own skin. He was a brilliant man within the universe of the gifts which he offered to humanity with liberality of spirit. Rob and Michelle Reiner had value and worth: for their children, friends, and greater community. I mourn with the children of Rob and Michelle Reiner, and I mourn with their friends....
Texas Walmart: Sharia Law Establishes a Beachhead Yesterday, on the heels of the news of the massacre of Jews at Bondi Beach by a father-son Islamic social compact: First person account given by a relative. The individual had a few items, and placed them on the conveyor belt. "Can you turn the package of bacon over so I can scan the bar code? I am not allowed to touch it." "Why are you not allowed to touch it? It is in thick plastic, for God's sake!" "It is unclean." Realizing that he would also be required to bag his own bacon, because it was "unclean" - he asked the woman to call a manager. The same conversation was conveyed. The manager flipped the bacon over. The customer flipped the bacon back. "I want her to scan my bacon. It is her job to provide customer service." Manager: "You are not welcome here!" Question: How many times a day does a customer comply to Sharia law at a local Walmart in the Dallas Fort...
Bondi Beach Attack: Images An Algerian and a Pakistani travel together to Bondi Beach.... The first image, from a horrifying video. The individual on the right is receiving CPR and chest compression. There are more corpses scattered about. So far - no images of the corpses of the children killed; but to post such things would show journalistic depravity. Images 2 and 3: The terrorists. Image 4: Arsen Ostrovsky - President of the Israel-Australia Jewish Council. And X has now blocked my content. Nope. I do not delete content. This is censorship. It an abridgment of Constitutional right. And the fourth image has already been picked up by a major outlet which covers news about Israel and the Jewish community. I did not delete content when receiving a letter from an attorney and then a direct threat against myself and my sons by a necrophilia porn producer in Texas. No. Swoffords do not take threats. They d...
