Update on Abu Wadee Original post here: https://opinionbytammy.blogspot.com/2026/09/acceptable-time-frame-to-deport-abu.html Intelligence not married to imagination always produces failure in national security. https://www.dailymail.com/news/article-16178003/Palestinian-asylum-seeker-death-Jews-guns-Gaza-war.html The Beit Hanoun Crossing works for me. Dispatch Abu Wadee on foot. Or present him as a guest for Shin Bet for a couple of weeks. Maybe even they don't want the Fother Mucker? This is the truth of the matter. Nobody want him; nor should anyone care what ultimately happens to this man once he is repatriated to Gaza. He is a hateful human being. Troubling question? How many others just like Abu Wadee have set foot on England's sovereign soil because of the massive human trafficking which is allowed. Allowed. England can no longer lay claim to sovereignty. They are just a way station which becomes a final stop for the rabble of riff-raff of the greater...

Aperture I am writing in streaming consciousness manner; my thoughts that flow like water as my fingers touch the keyboard. But this will resemble the watercolor works of Joseph Mallord William Turner - a bit of Impressionist journalism not necessarily built with facts, but thoughtful reflection. My goal is to confront our impressions regarding Iran. And I will include a secondary art form: photography. Let me adjust the aperture and shutter speed to add a different level of richness to our frame. This brings a risk of being misunderstood. I can live comfortably with it - but I cannot live with misinformation or disinformation. And I cannot live with dishonor. The pressing need is to consider whether there is any immediate and valid reason to resume military actions against Iran. Should there be an ovation and encore? So bring along your own paintbrushes and camera. Let's roll. Initial adjustment of aperture and shutter speed. Let me begin...
Born in the Wrong Century "Never miss an opportunity to attack Israel." Grand Mufti of the Sultanate of Oman, Ahmed bin Hamad al-Khalili Added to post: For those who want to reduce this to a personal dispute and not an Islamic terror attack, the perpetrator used a crash axe in the cockpit to mount his attack against the other pilot. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/oct/03/flydubai-co-pilot-used-crash-axe-to-attack-captain-says-uae
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...
