Did AI tell you that?
It is actually the same God in both of the religions. The God of Abraham is the same God in Judaism, Christianity and Islam.
Good thing we just hired a very dumb person to lead the Homeland Security Department.
Not just a very dumb person, but a very dumb person with zero experience.
Good thing we got rid of DEI! /s

Trump 'nowhere near' to making decision on troop deployment BBC
Donald Trump tells, external the New York Post he is "nowhere near" making a decision on whether to order US troops into Iran.
Asked whether he would consider sending soldiers into the country to secure its stockpile of uranium, Trump says: "We haven't made any decision on that. We're nowhere near it."
He also repeats that he is "not happy" with Mojtaba Khamenei being elected as supreme leader.
(*I am just as surprised as you are donald...thought the people who are running for cover would simply overthrow their government...)

In a heated Fox & Friends segment, co-host Brian Kilmeade argued that Americans stranded in the Middle East amid escalating U.S.-Israel strikes on Iran largely have themselves to blame, having ignored repeated government evacuation warnings. Co-host Ainsley Earhardt pushed back, noting many were there for essential jobs, not tourism, highlighting the personal responsibility debate in the crisis.

FOX News host Lawrence Jones refers to discussions around rising oil and gas prices as ‘propaganda.’ Jones urged Democrats not to focus on rising gas prices because “that’s what Iran wants.”

Macron orders 'unprecedented' naval deployment to Strait of Hormuz
Link via The TelegraphEmmanuel Macron has ordered an “unprecedented” naval deployment in the Middle East to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
France will deploy eight frigates, two amphibious helicopter carriers and the country’s flagship Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier.
“We aim to guarantee freedom of navigation and maritime security,” Mr Macron said during a visit to a military air base in Cyprus.
Iran’s attacks in the Strait of Hormuz have all but stopped tankers from using the key shipping lane, through which a fifth of the world’s oil is carried, causing global energy prices to soar.
The French vessels are expected to join US forces aiming to reopen the narrow passageway choking the world’s oil supplies.
This was damn good investigating.

Both Stated Within hours of each other TODAY on the same afternoon.
Trump says "the war is very complete", DoD "We have Only Just Begun to Fight"
In a phone interview with CBS News Monday afternoon, President Trump said the U.S. war with Iran could almost be over.
"I think the war is very complete, pretty much," the president said, speaking from his Doral, Florida, golf club. "[Iran has] no navy, no communications, they've got no air force. Their missiles are down to a scatter. Their drones are being blown up all over the place, including their manufacturing of drones."
The U.S. military said it struck over 3,000 Iranian targets in the first week of operations.
"If you look, they have nothing left. There's nothing left in a military sense," Mr. Trump said.
Late Sunday, Iran announced that Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei would replace his father as Iran's supreme leader.
"I have no message for him. None, whatsoever," the president said, adding that he has someone else in mind to lead the country.
Commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, through which about 20% of the global oil supply flows, has effectively ground to a halt.
The president said the U.S. "could do a lot" about the strait and threatened Iran if it inhibits the waterway. "They've shot everything they have to shoot, and they better not try anything cute or it's going to be the end of that country…If they do anything bad, that would be the end of Iran and you'd never hear the name again." The president also said the strait is open now and claimed ships have been entering the strait, but said he is still "thinking about taking it over."
Mr. Trump initially estimated the war would take about a month to complete.
"We're very far ahead of schedule," he told CBS News on Monday.
The same afternoon the president said the war is "very complete, pretty much," the Department of Defense posted on X, "We have Only Just Begun to Fight" and "no mercy."
Guess he's getting bored with Iran already. Cuba better watch out next.
Called it in the other thread. Trump always retreats when the consequences start to loom. He declares victory and tucks tail.
