Saving the Babies


When viewing the video below, it does not appear the hospital campus sustained a direct strike; rather it was effected by the blast radius from the intended target which shows initially at the top right of the screen.  I am only taking note of ceiling tiles which are loosened and falling on the floors. Yes,  It would be frightening.  But as a nurse, I see a fellow professional snatching up two newborns to move them to safety. (time stamp thirty nine seconds.)

It remains important that Geneva Protocols are adhered to and that medical access remain available for the 90 million Iranians who are dependent on the healthcare industry.

There was no real "war crime".  So it is also important that narratives not frame, bias, nor distort - what we view.  But yes - saving the babies is important.  They represent the future of Iran.

Iran continues to use the Strait of Hormuz for reflexive control.   I just listened to the panic in the voice of the captain of a commercial vessel from India who had been fired upon and who was seeking clarification. 

"Sepah Navy, you gave me clearance to go!  You're firing now? Let me turn back!"

Iran continues to exploit this situation - and it would seem wise for the current administration to take a step back and not define our "progress" in glowing terms; rather speak with plain voice and in honest manner. Of course, with each presidential pronouncement, the stock market reacts with a strong jerk. Someone, somewhere - is making millions of dollars from each new sound bite coming out of the White House.

Charlie Kirk Marcus Aurelius "Meditations" would not exist if he had been assassinated for his thoughts at age thirty-one. I would have never read Alexander Solzhenitsyn's "Gulag Archipelago" if he had been assassinated for his political thoughts at thirty-one years of age. Winston Churchill would have never written "Hinge of Fate" (one of my favorite selections) had he been assassinated at thirty-one years of age. Ernest Hemingway was fifty-three years old when "The Old Man and the Sea" was published. Leon Uris was thirty-four years old when his novel "Exodus" was published. The average age of the delegates at the 1787 Constitutional Convention was forty-two.  Benjamin Franklin was 81 years of age at this time. The famous Persian poet Ferdowsi began writing "Shahnameh" when he was 37 years old and did not complete it until he was about seventy years of age.  This would be a tremendous loss not to have access to his though...

Mohamed Elhassan He is powerful, made up of imperceptible layers.  He was only in his mid-teens when he first heeded the call to political action traveling to the Republic Palace of President Jafar Nimeiri seeking justice for his family. He is a well-respected Sufi.  In June,  he was awarded a Masters Degree in Islamic Studies from Hamad Bin Khalifa University (Qatar).  A recognized leader of the Kwahla tribe - with 16 million members.   Fast forward to 2010 and 2015 when he ran for President of the Sudan.  In 2015, it was my privilege to serve in a minor advisory role.  In recent years, he has given an enviable one hundred interviews with Al Jazeera Mobasha (life).   His name is Mohamed Elhassan.  I merely call him "friend". Mohamed Elhassan is president of the Sudanese Gathering Accord.  He is a man who knows his business, takes care of his business, and more importantly, takes care of his people. Less than a month ago he tra...

State of the Union:  Live Blogging Tammy and Blackfoot will begin live blogging shortly.  Grab your favorite drink and your BINGO cards and get ready to settle in for two hours of our POTUS speaking at SOTU.  We hope to keep this fun! https://opinionbytammy.blogspot.com/2026/02/state-of-union-bingo-cards.html __________________ Here we go, gang! "Gang" in the friendly family way, not in the Tren de Aragua way. President Trump and Mrs. Trump have left the White House and are on their way to the Capitol. I'm sure these past few days have been chock full of leafing through journals and diaries, and holding meetings with the inner circle for messaging strategies. Regardless of how much input his team gives him, we can always rely on our POTUS to not mince words, to lay the facts on the table and give us straight talk. Recently saw Newsom talking about Trump being an actor, and that he's a different person in different situations. Once again, Gavin is projecting his weakne...
