Truth Counts

  Political Analysis  * Thoughts of an Iranian analyst whom I have grown to respect, albeit not always in agreement with his commentary.  But this particular piece is excellent. In the truest sense, he is addressing one of my favorite issues for journalism, which is "emotional pulse".   The news of the targeting of oil tankers linked to the UAE, regardless of its operational details, once again highlighted a more important issue: during times of war, the people are not merely spectators of the country's major decisions; public opinion can form part of the environment in which security and strategic decisions are shaped. In the days leading up to these events, in Iran's media space, the question was repeatedly raised as to why vessels linked to the UAE—one of Iran's most insidious enemies and Israel's main base in southern Iran—enjoy a safe haven and pass through the Persian Gulf under pressure from political actors and corrupt, Western-aligned oligarchs. Af...

Persecution of the Christian Faith I follow what does not make the headlines - the rampant persecution against Christians and symbols and relics of our faith. In September, the desecration of a Catholic cemetery in Maizieres-les-Metz.  You cannot kill what is risen. At our prior church we had a tradition.  Members would call their friends early in the morning to awaken them on Easter.  "He is risen!"  The response was, "He is risen, indeed!" It was a beautiful remembrance of our risen Lord.  Azerbaijan has systematically destroyed dozens of Armenian monasteries beginning in the prior century and into the first decade of the 21st century. Satellite imagery confirms the complete destruction of 108 monasteries over about a fourteen year period.  I viewed a video of a man blasting away with an automatic weapon at symbols of the Cross as part of a beautiful column. What exactly, does he hope to accomplish! Jesus.  A sign spoken against.  (Luke chapter ...

Miranda Devine: The Ink of Ignorance   Too bad Ms. Devine did not call in sick before she wrote this commentary. https://nypost.com/2026/09/30/opinion/miranda-devine-the-lynch-mob-is-out-for-the-cornell-7-proving-weve-learned-nothing-from-past-injustices/ " A young woman who goes by “Jane Doe” has filed a civil lawsuit two years after she alleged she was gang-raped by seven men...." Women who are raped do not always immediately seek out law enforcement or a rape exam after an assault.  They return home and scrub every surface and orifice of their body to remove everything that reminds them of their assault. And then they curl up in a fetal and protective position  and do not leave their home for days.   Across America there are women who have been raped who never tell their parents nor their husbands of their assault.  It is unbearable to verbalize the assault. "...a sordid, drug-fueled sexual encounter at the Chi Phi fraternity house at the elite Cornell U...

Investigating the Flydubai Terror Event Considering that it was a multiplicity of miracles which allowed the Flydubai aircraft to stay aloft and  land safely, the event should be investigated as if the 180 individuals on the flight did not survive the flight. https://www.dailymail.com/news/article-16174201/Omani-hijacker-stabbed-pilot-religious-extremist-Israel-Flydbuai.html Investigate - the murder of 180 civilians. Investigate - for the twenty-seven children who were aboard the flight. Investigate - because of the multiple security failures which made this possible. Investigate - because both Saudi Arabia and Jordan denied clearance for an aircraft in distress to land. Investigate - the individuals involved in every single step of this mission to assure their pilot boarded this flight to complete his mission.  This mission had a quarterdeck. The stench from this attempt on Israeli lives has the identifiable odor of anti-Semitism. Jihad begins with intent:  the first ste...

Military Aircraft From super cool, to our final military aircraft permanently leaving Iraq, to Israeli jets accompanying the passengers from the terror attack today from Saudi Arabia back to Israel - the canopy rules over the seas.   

Acceptable Time Frame to Deport Abu Wadee Please read the link: https://www.dailymail.com/news/article-16170061/Channel-migrant-death-Jews-living-taxpayers-expense.html Here are acceptable time frames for deporting his miserable ass back to Hamas: 1.  The length of time it took for Noa Argamani to be yanked onto a motorcycle and kidnapped: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2OEktej8pk 2.  Less time than it took for Shani Louk's unconscious body to be paraded through the streets of Gaza  in the back of a pickup truck. Her death was confirmed by a skull fragment left at the festival site. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hoehyhxmYZo 3.  Half the time  it took for Yarden Bibas, his wife and two red-headed sons to be forced onto a cart and taken away.  The wife and children did not survive. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Gzaoc7vAvJU And less time than it took for both boys to be strangled to death with the bare hands of Hamas monsters. Abu Wadee is not deserving o...
