Repel Democrats Attacks on Trump’s Iran Attack.

(Teddy Roosevelt and his Stick)It’s been three days since President Trump gave the order to launch Operation Epic Fury against the Islamic Republic of Iran (previously known as the Imperial State of Iran prior to the overthrow of Monarch Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi in 1979). Simultaneously, Israel launched Operation Lion’s Roar in a joint military effort.

Unlike Operation Midnight Hammer, which “obliterated” three of Iran’s nuclear facilities, Operation Epic Fury was launched after months of preparations and following years of America’s Foreign Policy on Iran flip-flopping between negotiations and appeasement by Democrats and sanctions and threats of military action by Republicans, with Iran’s government engaged in supporting, funding, and exporting terrorism Worldwide all the while.

And with their usual rapidity in response to anything “Trump” Democrats and their supporters have begun their attack on President Trump’s operation, declaring it “illegal”, mounting protests nationwide, and calling for the Congress to intervene and stop it.

As usual, Democrats have and will employ a number of accusations to attack & undermine Trump’s efforts: Below are just a few, along with how to repel their attacks:

Quote of the Day: Hillary Says he CAN’T be President

(Bill & Hillary as a young power couple)As I write this Republicans from Congress are visiting the tiny hamlet of Chappaqua, N.Y., home to Bill and Hillary Clinton’s at their large, luxurious home and grounds, and questioning them to further understand how the infamous and notorious couple Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s s€x trafficking network operated “and the ways they sought to curry favor and influence to shield themselves from scrutiny.”

For Bill Clinton it’s the first time in history a former US President has been subpoenaed by the United States Congress to testify, and it’s about time.

This visit reminded me of an interesting statement by Hillary Rodham Clinton she issued on Social Media less than a month prior to the 2016 Presidential Election:

“This is horrific.
We cannot allow this man to become president.”
- Hillary Clinton, 7 Oct 2016, on X.com

An interesting statement by a former First Lady whose McDonalds-eating, saxaphone-playing, marijuana-smoking (but NOT inhaling!) husband, Bill “Big Dog” Clinton…

Trump’s Self-Powered Misspeak as he Spoke

(Trump grinning at the US Congress)Last night President Trump gave (most of) the joint session of Congress the first State of the Union (SOTU) Address of his Second Term (or, as Trump likes to state, “Third Term:-) ) as President of the United States, Commander-in-Chief of the most powerful military in the World, and Leader of the Free World.

The President warned us his Address would be long, and at 1 hour and 47 minutes long it set a record for the longest SOTU Address ever given since 1964, beating the previous record set by former president Bill Clinton in 2000 by almost 20 minutes.

And, Trump’s SOTU Address was arguably the best one since Republican President Ronald Reagan’s over 40 years ago – perhaps even better.

During his address, while speaking of the enormous amounts of electricity demanded by the Artificial Intelligence Industry, Trump said (my emphasis)…

My “Pipe Dream” Comes True! (For a 4th Time!)

I like playing “flowing pipe” games, where the object is to build a continuous pipe from pieces provided by the game to allow water to flow over some distance or to some destination, with the difficulty increasing as you complete each level.

Back on December 21, 2025 I wrote how while playing the game “Pipe Puzzle” I was able to create a continuous pipe which used every single space on the game board, for only the third time in 10 years, and wondered if it might take me less than one year to do it again..

My wonderment didn’t last long: On 22 Feb 2026, only 63 days later, a confluence of the game’s algorithm, my skill, and Lady Luck brought a smile to my face for a fourth time. I guess now I’ll have to set my expectations a bit higher, perhaps my fifth time might only take a month ;-)

(A pipe piece fills every square!)

Pipe Puzzle” is an excellent re-creation of the classic LucasArts game and was written by Brianna Rainey. The game website itch.io has a copy of this game, click here to play it online. Thanks Brianna!

Note while I play this game a lot, mostly to relax, I’m not trying to intentionally completely fill the board (and, I suspect most of the time the game’s algorithm might not let me). Although, it might be nice to see if there’s a way to consistently fill the board while playing… but, I digress ;-)

Thanks for reading! (and, happy gaming!)

The Perennial Post: Congressional Reform

Why not consider reforms?

Since 2009, almost on a yearly basis, there’s been a viral post circulating in one form or another that President Donald Trump or the US Congress has proposed or endorsed a supposed “Congressional Reform Act”.

While many so-called “Fact-Checking” websites have deemed that post and its’ versions as misleading, inaccurate, and not originating from Trump or Congress, there’s no reason why the points it raises shouldn’t be considered, improved, modified, and even implemented.

So, let’s consider the latest version of that viral post, as modified and amplified by Yours Truly:

The Perennial Congressional Reform Act

St. Valentine’s Day can Kiss my Cash!

(the heart is profitable)(image of magnified heart by ruangrit19 at Freepik.com)
It’s Valentine’s Day, traditionally the day when one expresses their affection to their Heart’s desire.

And it’s not just emotional, but also financial: The National Retail Federation estimates the cost of buying romantic baubles & accoutrements (such as cards, candy, flowers, lingerie, perfume, jewelry, and more) will “reach a record $29.1 billion, surpassing the previous record of $27.5 billion in 2025.

Lucky ones will be lavished, and luckier ones will get even luckier if the lucky one is suitably impressed by their suitor.

On a day when emotions, and for some the biological urge, can overwhelm prudent fiscal responsibility, here’s my St. Valentine’s gift to you:

St. Valentine’s Day SCIENCE!
