Knicks Really Strong

Have no doubt- New York is a good basketball team this season- and as I have heard often, the team that wins game one seizes momentum in the series. For the rusty New Yorkers, who had much time off between games, to go into a hostile arena and take a road win gives them an enormous edge in taking the championship. Both clubs know it is a game at a time, but to take the home court advantage away in the initial contest is going to be difficult for the Spurs to overcome. Wemby seemed over his head for the first time in the playoffs and shot like Iverson, throwing up a lot of bricks. Could the Knicks sweep? If they manage to prevail in game two, I believe New York will. 

The Peace Farce

The Islamic Republic has not abided by ceasefire terms, nor will they keep any peace treaty that they "agree to", because genuine cessation of their aggression against neighbors and the world more broadly would keep the Twelfth Imam from emerging from his thousand year hiding place in the well. The Ayatollah, his mad mullahs, and their adherents will never go against the fundamental teachings of their religion to placate non-believers (infidels). Ask Kuwait if the Iranian attack that just struck their country felt peaceful!

Britain Requires Revolution

Governments fall and revolutions start because of events like the police handling of the Henry Nowak murder. You can't continue to live under a government that despises your rights and forsakes your lives. Stand up Britain! The English man is NOT a slave and the authorities owe him the protection he deserves as the force that safeguarded Christendom for generations. 

California Needs Change

I have read that the "definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over but expecting different results". Why not give Republicans a chance to turn California around from the dysfunctional socialist hellhole it is turning into back to the unleashed freedom and prosperity of which it was for generations and may yet be with the right political leadership? 

An Intriguing Matchup

San Antonio will face the Knicks in a championship series that could be an instant classic. New York has been playing phenomenal defense. They have relatively balanced scoring and a superstar in Jalen Brunson. The Spurs have the dominant young center in the league, and likely the face of its future in Victor Wembanyama. I think the Spurs will ultimately prevail, but time will tell, and I have known to bet my heart rather than thinking through the contests. 

Absolute and Uncompromising

I really thought Trump might take any deal with Iran to clear the decks for the midterms, but he will not. The master negotiator is insisting on what amounts to unconditional surrender by the Islamic Republic. No "art of the deal" here but victory or death. 

Degree of Peace?

If the Islamic Republic remains essentially a theocracy after the conflict, the war achieved little. If the mullahs still have "nuclear dust" to weaponize, you have gained nothing. If Iran has operational centrifuges to construct atomic weapons, the attack by America was not worth the effort. At the end of the proverbial day, the Ayatollah may hold his grip on the People with weapon-making material and technology in place.
