    Looking like a strike into Iran is a done deal from the U.S.

    Sounds a bit absurd, or maybe even tin foil hat'ish, but if we do strike I hope for one thing.

    Given the strikes into Russia by Ukraine after a year plus long secret mission, and the since then, years long planned Israeli mission against Iran, after the years long pager/cell phone attack.

    I can only hope that Elon is truly on America's side and maybe some of these Space X launches/Presidential feuds have been some sort of planned/coordinated events.

    We, as a country, need Elon and his wealth/technology on our side. I truly hope he is because he has "Space" technology in checkmate as it stands now.

    I 100% agree. But why does the US need to be drug into it? Israel is an ally… doesn’t mean we need to step in so soon. Let them handle business until business gets bad enough where they NEED it.

    My hope is that we support them the same way we have supported Ukraine. Give them money ammunition bombs planes anything. We do not need US men in that country.

    I believe all Trump wants is to bomb their " war technologies " into the stone age. Then hopefully their people will finish the job and take out the thousands of radical clergy. Once the political leaders are finished by Israel. Should be zero need for troops on the ground unless China sticks their nose in it.

    "Iran's got a lot of trouble" (POTUS) .... does Iran really think they stand a chance .. has Baghdad Bob found another job ? ... its our bases that will get hit I'm afraid ... the more Israel can degrade Iran's ability to attack, the less chances of boots on the ground, that wont happen with Trump. Iran still can cause trouble, cyber attacks on infra structure, rouge terror attacks, assassination squads, etc. remember, ANYTHING is possible, esp. with the 4th coming up .. IF we have to get involved, we best hit them so damn hard, wipe out everything military and nuke wise and include those damn Mullahs/and aytollawhats his name .. ... make them cry surrender ...

    Couple fighter jets flew over about 7 minutes and 2 minutes ago. Deafenly loud, 1st one scared the crap out of me as I'm still at work, thought someone else was here rolling something around, but it kept getting louder and louder. No clue what they were, but there's no mistaking what they were. Buildings at work so tall wasn't able to see just how low they were.

    supposedly to be sold within 5 miles of 'population centers for development ... who the hell is the idiot to put this in IF this is what it looks like .. as if there isnt enough farm land/wildlife habitat being destroyed by developers (it can be argued if whether or not thats beneficial, well, it sure aint for the wildlife) .... around here, it is Non-stop right now, jobs, money, economically thats a good thing.... but tell that to the owl that just had its nest tree bulldozed ...

    I had no idea. For the sake of my own sanity I've been keeping my head buried in the sand lately.

    I just glanced at the overview and frankly it pisses me off. There are millions upon millions of acres of undeveloped land that lies outside public land boundaries, but it's owned by someone.

    In my opinion, and its just my "knee-jerk, first time hearing about it, I don't trust the government" opinion, they're trying to get it passed to "supposedly" allow land to be developed to address critical housing shortages, and I'm guessing that they're saying it will benefit lower income citizens.

    BS. The market is flooded with land and homes for sale. Its just priced out of most middle-class Americans and ALL lower income American households because the housing market has lost it's mind. I sold my last house for $205K six years ago. It's now worth almost $400K. How?

    If this gets passed, I guarantee it will be developed, and definitely not all for "housing". I also guarantee that any housing developments that are built will still be out of the price range of the vast majority of Americans.

    How to piss off your base just before the midterms
    Hey a housing shortage? don't spend 8+ hrs, half a dozen or more guys sitting around to get 12 or less illegals rounded up in a court house. Millions of illegal gone, cleans up the housing and forces the housing hogs to lower their prices .
    Then here's a thought, land / housing owners / parents. Wake up and start saying NO,NO to your school board budget increases. Tell your town and counties you've had enough with the crazy budgets and fake evaluations. Daughters town did this ,voted No. Low and behold they managed a huge decrease in the next budget to be voted on and it passed. Too late for that school board now. The ppl made them show their hand ,going into future votes

    I thought it was the job of the doctor to prescribe medication. I can hardly wait to see my doctor in July and ask, "Is XXXX right for me?" Hope it's not for PMS.

    yup .. it had to be done I believe ... very precise hits, those GBU-57's land within meters of where they should, if not a direct hit .... they dropped 6 of those on Fordow ... 6!! .. that place should be totaled .. ...Trump gave them all the chances in the world so to speak to 'make a deal' ... BTW, what a head fake, B2's going to Guam, then these others nailed 'em ....

    just heard they also used one or more guided missile subs which sent 30 Tomahawks to one of these nuke sites ..

    Yep, in an emergency situation, we need to not only deliberate in public and waste time, but also let our enemies know what we are voting on. Hey Iran, we are gonna vote on whether we knock out your nuclear sites. We are going to waste a couple weeks while we have a lively congressional debate....
