Iran tests ballistic missiles
Does this make you feel safer? Iran today completed two more ballistic missile tests, with rockets capable of reaching Isreal that were supposedly marked in Hebrew with the phrase, “Israel must be wiped off the Earth.”
The firings took place on the second and final day of a large-scale military drill, which marked the first time Tehran has fired ballistic missiles since signing a deal with world powers on its nuclear program in July.
U.S. officials said Tuesday that the tests did not violate the nuclear agreement, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, but were very likely in breach of a U.N. resolution calling on Iran not to undertake ballistic missile activity. U.S. officials threatened Tuesday to raise the issue at the Security Council.
Well, I am so glad these tests didn’t violate the Obama Iran deal. That makes me feel so much better.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The print edition can be purchased at Amazon or from any other book seller. If you want an autographed copy the price is $60 for the hardback and $45 for the paperback, plus $8 shipping for each. Go here for purchasing details. The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

Saw some video on this earlier today. (from Iranian State TV)
Scared me….
These people, unlike the old Soviet Union, desperately want to use them, “first strike,” & with their nuclear weapons, to bring out their Armageddon onto us & our allies.
“Israel,” is a “one-bomb” Country, that-is, one Iranian nuclear device would, for all intents & purposes, destroy them.
Can anyone tell by the video, what sort of rocket this is?
Just a matter of time before someone pushes the button.
Tehran, Qom and Mecca are all smaller than Israel.
To retaliate or pre-emptively strike Iran, would require Israel to utilize more than 1 of their nuclear weapons, where-as Iran would only need to use 1 to effectively completely destroy Israel.
I believe Israel has maybe 100-120 warheads, & they are a civilized democratic Nation. Their mortal enemies are Theocracies & Kingdoms & fully prepared to strike them & take any retaliation on the chin. They would even welcome it as part of their Religion.
Anyone current on how intertwined Iran is with that troll in N. Korea? They shared technology and weapon/rocket designs at one point.
(Pakistan proliferated Bomb designs via the A.Q. Kahn Network to one or both.)
Obama has idea’s to “take America down to 100 warheads” in our stockpile– an extremely destabilizing situation, rather than any “love of peace or hatred of atomic weapons.”
–It would allow our enemies to join their stockpiles, to pre-emptively strike or threaten us, and still maintain reserves sufficient to strike a second time.
(Obama hates America’s position as a “Super-power,” & is actively undermining our borders, our military, our economy, our influence. See anything by Dinesh D’Souza.)
— I’m fully convinced our Leader’s (Obama in particular) would rather sacrifice our Cities, than retaliate or pre-emptively strike our enemies. -Obama is an anti-colonialist Marxist; he believes America needs to be “taken down a notch or 3.” After-all, we are the Bad Guy, we already nuked Japan twice, stole ALL our wealth from poorer Country’s, killed the Indian’s & enslaved Black’s– in his mind, “we deserve it.”
Say for example; We, Russia & China went to 100 warheads each; Russia & China could team-up to use 50 each of theirs against us & still have sufficient weapons to dominate us. Throw in every two-bit dictator with a bomb or 10, and the world “fundamentally changes.”
