Sky News:

"Iran's Supreme leader holds prayers in Tehran for the first time in years".

#####

Maybe he thinks he might not be around for much longer.


Oh, and the US is bombing the Houthis.

Iran's Supreme Leader, in his speech calling for the Muslim world to unite, called the US "a rabid dog".

Well there's the message for any Americans still in love with Iran.

Daily Telegraph today:
Top Stories:

"Iran is on the verge of a nervous breakdown: Can it hold?

The supreme leader was left shaken by the assassination of Hezbollah's Hassan Nasrallah, his friend and ally-in-chief.
The Islamic Republic has never looked weaker."

#####

Good.
Perfect time to enact Trump's advice...smash it, starting with its nuke facilities.
It'll be too late in 6 months time when it has made nuclear weapons.

The Oct 7 invasion of Israel and the torture murder, beheading, burning to death of Jewish families was all the doing of Iran, Hamas, Hezbollah, their fighters/terrorists.
You'd have to be very mixed up in your mind to do that and think very bad things would not happen to you as a result.

We would never let the worst among us speak with authority, and one needs to find the good people and then one will get a better opinion.

And Trump is an asshole who wants to round up and deport all illegals, instead of making everyone legal like Ronald Reagan did. We are all equal in America, and someone from Mexico has the same rights as a human that I have. In California we even give free Medical care to refugees. I agree with Walz that we should not de-humanize people. We are all equal.

For me, I tried to move to live in Rome, Italy, if I could have gotten a job in Rome then I would have stayed there. I love Rome.

In America I need to at least own a few McDonald's restaurants, my Grandmother worked at the original McDonald's in San Bernardino. One needs to have money to best enjoy America and the world. A McDonald's will succeed anywhere. I ate at the McDonald's by the United States Embassy in Rome when I went to the Embassy to apply for a job, the Pantheon, and the Hard Rock Cafe, are also in that area. You can get beer and wine with your Big Mac in Rome. I also ate at a McDonald's by Cinecitta, which is the largest movie studio in Europe.

I met the guy who wrote "Amistad" that was made by Spielberg and he got enough money to open 5 McDonald's restaurants in South Africa and then he hired his family members to work at his restaurants. McDonald's will succeed anywhere.

And we need to support the Christians in Lebanon. We also need to reach out to the Christians in Latin America.

I want to go explore Acapulco, Mexico, Elvis made a movie there, it might be a good place to shoot films, etc.

In the Middle East then they need to stop letting the crazy people have authority, and we need to support the sane peaceful Christians in the Middle East, etc.

Meanwhile, Kamala and Walz are way more sane than Trump. We need to make our immigrants legal like Reagan did, and then we can put everyone to work, and we can improve relations with Latin America and we can expand trade, etc.

Also, I hope the tax cuts help to bring the Entertainment Industry back to Hollywood, and to Anaheim, etc.

Peace.

Salute,

Tony V.

"Donald Trump claimed Americans hit hard by Hurrican Helene were losing out on emergency relief money because it had been spent on migrants.
The White House swiftly rebutted the claims.

US Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas had FEMA, which he oversees, was short on cash for the rest of hurricane season.

Trump and his allies expressed outrage that the agency had spent over $640m on housing migrants."

Sure looks like Trump is correct, again.

It is laughable to the nth degree when democrats complain about FEMA money being misspent when they cost all of us Billions of dollars over their  false claims of of RUSSIAN collusion.

Govt puts the funds into FEMA.

Not enough money in FEMA to pay to Helene victims, because instead of putting enough money in FEMA the govt spent it on migrants.
Yes?

The only immigrants who should be approved for entry/settlement into a country like America are ones who can support themselves...
...with, in addition, a limited of number of genuine refugees from UNHCR camps.
A number limited to affordability for the govt/taxpayers, and successful integration into willing communities.
