Iran threatens to hit Israel nuke facility

Fox News:

Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said Saturday the country would strike Israel's nuclear facilities if Tel Aviv attacked the Islamic state, Reuters reported state television as saying.

"If the Zionist Regime (Israel) attacks Iran, we will surely strike its nuclear facilities with our missile capabilities," Mohammad Ali Jafari, Guards commander-in-chief, said.

Jafari said Israel was entirely within the reach of Iran.

"Our missile capability puts all of the Zionist regime (Israel) within Iran's reach to attack," Jafari said.

Iranian leaders have said Iran would respond to any attack from Israel by targeting U.S. interests and Israel.

Jafari said Iran "was not scared" of Israel's military capabilities.

"It is part of the psychological war that the West has launched against Iran," Jafari said.

...

Iran probably will lash out at several targets when it is attacked. That is why it is important that the US be aware of any Israeli attack as soon as possible to prepare its forces for a subsequent counterattack by Iran. While Israel has the capacity to attack Iran's nuclear facility, it does not have the capacity for sustained attacks against Iran which would be needed to neutralize potential counter attacks.

The story also discusses Clinton nuclear umbrella gaffe.

    1. ISRAEL is a clandestine nuclear power with up to 400 nuclear warheads. FACT
    2. ISRAEL refuses to sign the NPT or be inspected by the IAEA of the UN. FACT
    3. IRAN is a signatory to both as are 187 nations throughout the world - but not Pakistan, North Korea, India or ISRAEL. FACT
    4. IRAN has not declared war on anyone in the last 100 years. FACT.
    5. ISRAEL will almost certainly carry out a nuclear attack within the next 6-12 months. FACT
    6. A nuclear attack by Israel will destabilize the Middle East and have severe global economic and social consequences.

    Well it seems if Israel does go through with this attack then I don't blame them!
    Iran apparently does lie about a lot and is a very authoritarian government. Just look at how they have recently treated their people, using their own military to beat protesters to the ground, cutting off ALL forms of communication, not allowing any media coverage, seems a lot like a cult. If you detract then you need to be punished and reprogrammed to think the Iranian government is good and wonderful...blah blah blah.
    So, it wouldn't suprise me that they ARE lying about their nuclear intentions, especially since they want to order 2 or 3 more nuclear power plants. And their first should be operational this fall, yay!

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t...

Is the F-35 obsolete?

Headline USA: Pentagon Fires Back after Musk Calls Its Most Expensive Project ‘Obsolete’ 'Yeah, as I'm sure you can appreciate, Mr. Musk is, currently, a private citizen, I'm not going to make any comments about what a private citizen may have to say about the F-35....'   ... ... Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
