Truth Counts

1/5th the Population of my City Arrived on Spanish Sovereign Soil Yesterday Yesterday's post:  https://opinionbytammy.blogspot.com/2026/07/spain-from-world-cup-to-world-toilet-my.html Today's news: https://www.dailymail.com/news/article-16018857/EU-panics-49-000-migrants-exploit-legal-loophole-storm-border-Spanish-enclave-one-day-Madrid-sends-army.html What would be the burden on my city today if we suddenly had to provision, house and provide medical care for 49,000 new arrivals?  This is 1/5th of my city's population.  My sister lives in Spain in a city of approximately 46,000.  Imagine the chaos should the city awaken to double the population overnight? A ruling from the court caused the Spanish territory to suffer a Battalion force invasion. Make that forty-nine battalions of healthy, military-age males.  The Supreme Court of Spain should enter emergency session and rescind the ruling. It was triple this amount which landed on Normandy - and it only took thr...

Improbable Even as Qeshm Island continues to work to remove their citizens from the rubble of their homes,  it remains improbable that a solution is on the horizon for what President Trump was "itching" to start on 28 February.  Pulling the trigger, is always the easy part.  The pressure on the pull of a trigger can be nothing compared to the pressure of what follows such an action, the aftermath of the action. Our decisions are now lethargic, based on the principle of uncertainty. We seem unsteady.   We expect Tehran to respond in one way.  Obviously, they did not read the play bill for what is beginning to look like an off-Broadway show. Wisdom is not learned from memorization.  Nor is it gained from instruction.   Instruction informs.  This is the nature of our war colleges.  But instruction is not wisdom's guide. Wisdom makes room for disagreement; but is rarely found in a room with consensus.  The wisdom to not pursue this...

Spain:  From World Cup to World Toilet "My name is Legion... for we are many."  Mark 5:9 After the flush of victory, Spain now faces the first flush of the toilet with what are demonic policies directed against the average Spaniard.  And yes,  I believe it is a demonic level of evil which boldly welcomes millions of illegal aliens to invade a nation's shores. Last week - a tragic crime a block away from my own home.  And this manner of crime began to seep into my neighborhood during the Biden years when greater than ten million illegals were allowed to swarm our borders. A large home is being used as a micro-hotel for men.  I have counted as many as a dozen men on the front lawn at night.  Add 8-10 older vehicles to the landscape, and this is also a legion.  Saturday afternoon one man stabbed another on the front lawn.  The ambulance arrived, and the police swarmed. Across the street from the crime, two houses with widows, and one with a nucl...

Cullerton and Borenzweig: Hired Guns Shoot Themselves in the Foot And who is the comedian now? https://www.dailymail.com/news/article-16016485/lawyer-nathaniel-cullerton-central-park-kiss-rival-job-offer.html True story: I was once offered a job as a mistress.  The stash house would be in Egypt.  Nice apartment. Great life. Looking at the man, I said, "But what about my husband?"  We remained great friends. Wealth and intelligence do not bestow discretion.  My guy - understood discretion. These two clowns?  God might have just pushed the smite button for fun.

Iran Remains Firmly in Control Iran remains firmly in control of their goals.  And while it is being reported that the White House has been rebuffed regarding joint maritime patrols in the Strait of Hormuz with European allies,  Iran has also informed Oman they are not interested in "joint patrols".   The Strait of Hormuz is effectively extended as part of the sovereign boundary for Iran.  They do not feel the need to share. Yemen attempts the same maneuver with their announcement of a maritime blockade of Saudi vessels from the Bab el Mandeb Strait on 20 July. And things are now complicated further with Yemen's Ansar Allah entering the fray.  Allah will have many helpers, on that front.   A fire broke out on a tanker carrying fuel designated for the U.S. military at Damietta Port (Egypt) following a drone strike.  The "teaser" offered up is that the drone was launched from beyond the direct confrontation zone for battle.  If playing the game...

Pandemonium:  Anti-Strategy Warfare President Donald J Trump envisioned Pandemonium.  And as the first wave of bombers traveled toward Iran,  he neglected lessons offered from the 20th century.  Bombing starts wars and elongates war.  But it never ends war - except for on that one occasion.  But that solution - is intolerable. Pandemonium allows for the wild noise,  disorder and confusion of war.  But we forget the London Blitz.  Londoners endured fifty-seven consecutive days of bombings.  The Luftwaffe conducted almost daily raids over an eight month period.  And neither were Coventry, Liverpool and Birmingham spared. Did the English crawl toward the Germans with pen in hand?  Nope. https://www.rafmuseum.org.uk/research/online-exhibitions/history-of-the-battle-of-britain/the-blitz/ Agen autem non movet nisi ex intentione finis. A bomb is a mobile agent of death tasked with a targeted end-point.  But the intention of bombi...
