Iran returns to acting like a terrorist again

The U.S.-Iran MOU is off to a rocky start. According to David Strom's HotAir article, Iran plans on requiring shipping insurance to "the Persian Gulf Strait Authority, which will allow you to transit the Strait—after considering your application to do so—if you pay insurance fees to it." That sounds like Iran isn't changing its ways, which is what I've been preaching for 2+ months. The U.S. had their foot on Iran's throat before agreeing the first cease-fire.

That's the first signal that Iran read as weakness. Now the talk is that President Trump is interested in a negotiated settlement. That's another appeasement signal to Iran. If the U.S. continues sending those appeasement signals, we will fritter away whatever leverage we've had.

Further, it isn't wise for V.P J.D. Vance to threaten Israel's cabinet like he did yesterday:

Thus far, VP Vance's instincts on national security/foreign policy have been questionable. At this point, I prefer SecState Rubio and Gov. DeSantis over VP Vance for POTUS and it isn't that close. This won't happen but it's time for President Trump to finish off Iran. They aren't trustworthy and never will be. Yesterday, VP Vance asked what we had to lose by talking to Iran. Today, I'll answer him. It's a waste of time. Iran hasn't changed in 1,000+ years. This theocracy will never change

Proof that Tim Walz doesn't care about fraud or other crime

Anyone that thinks that Tim Walz, Minnesota's DFL governor, doesn't care about preventing crime or fraud hasn't read this article . Alpha News is reporting that "The Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) has confirmed that Dylan Adams, the fiscal policy analyst caught on video vandalizing Teslas in Minneapolis, is still employed by the state — meaning Minnesota taxpayers are footing the bill for his salary. In response to Alpha News inquiries, a DHS spokesperson said: "Dylan Adams is a current employee." Apparently, the Walz administration doesn't care that it's employing a vandal in its Department of Human Services. As for whether Adams "has faced consequences for racking up more than $21,000 in damage during work hours , the agency offered little transparency. 'No public data exists with respect to disciplinary action,' the spokesperson said." This reminds me of the old phrase I coined, which says 'It's impossible to...

Minnesota Department of Education admits it's corrupt

I couldn't help but smile when I read the headline to this article . The title is "BREAKING: Minnesota Department of Education to strengthen hiring practices — after Alpha News reports." Thank God for well-run government agencies. Under DFL management, the Minnesota Department of Education, aka MDE, has turned inot an embarassment. Thank God Alpha News takes oversight seriously. Alpha News reports that "The Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) says it will now require criminal background checks for “all new hires” and is working to adopt tougher hiring policies—after Alpha News’ exclusive reporting on a convicted sex offender’s employment in a high-level state role." The article continues, saying "The department announced the changes in a letter to Rep. Kristin Robbins, R-Maple Grove, following widespread concern over its hiring of Wilson Tindi, a Kenyan national on the state’s predatory offender registry who was earning $145,000 a year as Director of I...
