I gotta look up the word 'petulant'...

Iran said Monday it will no longer talk to the U.S. as long as Israel pounds away at Iran’s terrorist proxy, Hezbollah, in Lebanon. “The Iranian negotiating team will suspend ‘talks and the exchange of texts through mediators,’” the semiofficial news agency Tasnim reported. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said in a statement that Iran considers “the crossing of red lines in Lebanon and Gaza to mean direct war and the imposition of costs on its national security and the Islamic Resistance.”
This is some kind of weird schoolyard bullshit game for these people. They have somehow come to believe that we won't - or can't - squash them like the bug they are. I give DJT some credit for not having done so already, but the time of  'give them a chance to come around' is over. 
Every time we hold out a olive branch, they smack us in the ass with it. It may well be the start of WWIII, but I think it's time that we, once and forever, show these third-world porch monkeys what real power is. I have said enough on this.

Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan said Thursday she has “nothing to announce” about a possible 2028 presidential bid, stepping back from her comment hours earlier that she will not run for president after leaving office later this year.
“You know, I never thought I would run for governor, so I guess I should know better than to say any of it. Never say never,”

New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill is claiming victory after the federal government announced it would restore visitation rights at the Delaney Hall immigration detention center in Newark.  Sherrill celebrated the decision, stating she had successfully pressured the feds to meet her demands and that the facility should never have been used as a detention center in the first place. However, the Department of Homeland Security pushed back sharply, stating that Sherrill and her allies helped create the violent protests and unrest that forced the temporary suspension of visitation in the first place.
DHS officials made it clear: “We did not cave to the Governor’s demands. Visitation was suspended because the violent riots outside the facility made it unsafe for our officers, detainees’ families and lawyers to visit the facility.” The agency added that now that they have secured the perimeter, visitation can resume safely. Sherrill and other Democrats had visited the facility amid protests and complained about conditions and lack of access.
This is peak Democrat hypocrisy. Sanctuary politicians create chaos by obstructing federal immigration enforcement and encouraging protests, then claim victory when the resulting mess forces a partial retreat. New Jersey residents deserve leaders who support law enforcement, not those who turn detention facilities into political battlegrounds.

Lucille Ball and Paula Stewart enacting a scene from the Broadway musical Wildcat 
on the television program The Ed Sullivan Show, 1961

An article in the Saturday Evening Post archives from 1961 quoted a TV critic who voiced what many Americans were saying: that watching television was a waste of time.  
Television was a well-established medium by that year. Ninety percent of Americans had TVs in their homes and were watching six hours a day on average. Other than a few cultural and public-affairs shows on Sunday afternoon, critic Harriet Van Horne said there weren’t five hours of programing a week worth watching.
Television critics were given more attention in that era, when many Americans still hoped the networks would add artistic and intellectual content to their programing. Ms. Van Horne complained that TV didn’t try to raise the tastes of mass audience. She was particularly disapproving of westerns, which she said dulled the human sense of outrage at violence.
The only reason people watched the tripe on TV is because it was free and available.

A small surviving detail from old Penn Station. These Art Deco-style escalator terminals in Manhattan’s Penn Station show the kind of craftsmanship once built into even the most functional parts of transit architecture. The original 1910 station was largely demolished in the 1960s, but a few metalwork details still remain like ghosts of its lost grandeur. Crafted when pleasing the eye was as important as function.
