April 7, 1928: A maverick was born, James Garner. He was a frequent Las Vegas visitor- participated in the Mint 400 and the World Series of Poker, having fun at the tables or filming an episode of Rockford Files.

The launch of the artificial satellite is the first step towards the conquest of space and a great victory for Soviet science!' — North Korean poster, 1958.

The poster shows a missile launching into space from the Soviet Union, with satellites in orbit and the flags of the Soviet Union and other socialist countries below. The Americans are also shown fruitlessly attempting to launch their own rockets. Believe it or not, Rocketman Kim does have a space program, sorta.

One can only imagine here of what the Delphic oracle said to Croesus of Lydia in the Histories: "If you march against the Persians, you will destroy a great empire."
That was a line that the Oracle of Delphi said to King Croesus of Lydia before fighting Cyrus the Great of Persia. Croesus of course, fought. And lost his own empire.
The most important sentence in Trump's ceasefire post is that the ensuing negotiations will be based on the Iranian 10-point proposal (and not Trump's 15 points).
These are the Key Aspects of Iran's Proposal:
- Permanent End to Hostilities: A lasting peace agreement rather than a temporary ceasefire.
- Security Guarantees: Assurances that Iran will not be attacked again.
- Lifting Sanctions: Complete removal of all US sanctions imposed on Iran.
- Strait of Hormuz Reopening: Iran would reopen the vital energy route but charge a $2 million fee per vessel, to be split with Oman.
- Regional Security: End to Israeli strikes in Lebanon and other regional attacks.
- Reconstruction Funding: Revenue from the Strait to be used for rebuilding infrastructure rather than direct reparations
If you accept even part of the Iranian statement, Donald Trump has agreed to give Iran control of the Strait of Hormuz. Though I'm sure it's more complicated and once the ships trapped in the Gulf have exited then no tellin what may happen. I mean who in their right mind would ever trust Pakistan. The flames have died down but it's still a cindering hot smokin powder keg. Time will tell.
When you see a Persian head Rabbi or a Jewish woman outside a synagogue that has been bombed.
By Israel.
In Iran.
Not wearing a head scarf. Wut? (LOL)
