Untitled Some of the men who penned our Constitution were  bounded by the European traditions, but not restricted regarding the expansive nature of their thoughts. Others - who were native born also held to these traditions rooted in the ethics of Judeo-Christian  beliefs. But more importantly, the vast majority were classically trained in the arts, letters, and humanities and aware of the Greco-Roman heritage which also infused Western thought.  What happened in the ancient Delphi, Athens, and Laconia of Greece mattered.   And the fortunes and misfortunes of the Roman Empire which were dependent on the wisdom or the whims of the emperors and their closest advisors also mattered.  History is the learning lab of the present, for those smart enough to embrace it.  Our forefathers were not only engaged in writing a legal document. With each thought and stroke of the pen, they forged the identity of a nation.  And all of this was accomplished before t...

  Morning Note Tehran is messaging rather strongly this morning. Iran has decided to cancel all international agreements related to the suspension of the nuclear program.  Sayyid Mojtaba Khamenei: "Possessing nuclear weapons is Iran's sovereign right and it is non-negotiable."   As to whether Khamenei is a ventriloquist's act - I have found neither proof of life nor proof of death. I found the link below interesting, which is written by a contributor.  I know the administrator of this blog site. https://ibloga.blogspot.com/2026/04/idf-worked-to-erase-footage-from.html As a journalist, I retain a strong belief.  Adult readership have a right to the facts, they can be trusted with the facts, and mature readers are not reactive but contemplative.  They learn from events and adapt world views accordingly.  I also adhere to the Biblical standard, "Speak the truth with love."   So I try to write the truth without hidden agenda, bias, confirmat...

Evening Humor It could be worse.  Jews could be depicted as pigs.  https://quran.com/al-baqarah/65/tafsirs There is much less humorless news.  But I will save it for another day. Iran is using exploitation and humiliation for their primary weapon.  This is classic PSYOPs An anti-war cry from years ago was, "What if they called a war and nobody came?" Iran:  "What if they called a negotiation and nobody showed up?" They have pretty well neutered us.  Reduced us to palace eunuchs. Reduced us to another bombing campaign. Each mixed message coming from the White House reinforces Iran in the belief that their model of exploitation and humiliation is working just fine.  But of course - they are busy getting ready for the next wave. swoffordwrites@gmail.com Old platform: https://thelastenglishprince.wordpress.com/

A Few Evening Notes I was in Oklahoma today - for a day trip.  So here are a few notes from some of the more hardline sites that I view each day.  I.    Yemeni Ansarullah Leader Warns of Possible Collapse of Ceasefire in the Region Houthi: 🔹️ We Will Not Be Neutral Against Any Aggression Against Iran 🔹The current ceasefire is coming to an end, this ceasefire is very fragile, and the possibility of increasing tensions is very high. 🔹 Our position is clear and public, and we are not neutral against the American-Israeli aggression targeting the Islamic Republic of Iran. 🔹 We are facing the Israeli enemy and its American partner; if the enemy returns to war, our path will also be to enter war. 🔹 Even if the ceasefire remains stable, further rounds of conflict are inevitable because this ceasefire is only a pause in an ongoing battle. II. The US has decided to stop all its economic aid and security cooperation with Iraq. They have also stopped providing dollars to th...

  Save the Fuel, Vice President J.D. Vance Three hours ago, Iran issued a statement confirming they have not sent a delegation to Islamabad. But they have hung another citizen who "worked with Mossad". Agitation propaganda continues with a LEGOS theme. This time, the departed Grand Ayatollah and his son build a LEGO Sword of Allah.  "Oh Devils.  Your time is coming to an end."   Zzzz

President Trump's Wormwood Cabinet They arrived into their appointments like brilliant silvery green foliage.  And now, three of the most powerful women in America have left a bitter taste in our mouths.  Moving into positions with practically unlimited power, they traded their enviable positions for disgrace on departure.  The first, for common mugwart (Artemisia vulgaris)  the second, for not recognizing the toxicity of wormwood,  and the third, for absinthe. Kristi Noem - a woman who bragged about putting down a dog that would not hunt - was put in charge of the biggest hunt of all.  It seems more likely that her biggest hunt was for personal enrichment and the American dollar.  And whilst pursuing her fortune, her mentally ill spouse was left to explore fetish sites and post images of himself with large balloons stuffed under his shirt.  Because of her position, Kristi Noem became a security risk - vulnerable to blackmail. "Grandmother,  ...

Star Wars: Live Blogging for 20 April I am watching (undated) footage of aerial combat worthy of Star Wars  and scenes like the two below.  Also watched video of our forces aboard the Iranian-flagged cargo ship. The crew members detained are Africans.   There will be a lot to cover today if Iran goes "hot". So this will be a live blog today. I will timestamp each micro-post as the day continues.  I prefer X sites with minimal digital traces and followers.  These images have a mere 39 views.    Time stamp: 08:10 Do not get sucked into AI-generated images to form your opinions.   Pakistan just announced they have brought to a skidding halt a 1.5 billion dollar aircraft and arms sell to the Sudanese Armed Forces with arm-twisting by Saudi Arabia.  If you have couple of active neurons in your brain with a decent synapse you are fully aware that Sudan functions as a powerful locus of control for Russia, China, and Iran.  The real e...
