Thank you for Smoking - Ice Cream Debate

And regardless of the argument, you wonโ€™t convince everyone. Whether an ice cream debate or a political discussion, itโ€™s a matter of finding those persuadable, and making the best case for those willing and able to engage. (2/2)

Todayโ€™s high school writing club focused on persuasive writing. Some of what I shared for the kids: there isnโ€™t one right way; it depends on the writerโ€™s argument and skill set, as well as the audience. Logic, emotional appeals, and anecdotes are all tools to sharpen. (1/2)

News: Commanders across dozens of U.S. military bases told troops the war on Iran is part of "God's plan" so Trump can bring about "Armageddon"

News: Commanders across dozens of U.S. military bases told troops the war on Iran is part of "God's plan" so Trump can bring about "Armageddon"

News: so Trump can bring about "Armageddon." The Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF) has been
"inundated" with complaints since the U.S. and Israel launched attacks on Iran over the weekend, receiving more than 110 complaints from U.S. military personnel stationed at dozens of sites across the Middle East.
Journalist Jonathan Larsen broke the story, sharing specific complaints made by troops. One such complaint made by a noncommissioned officer reported that their commander had
"urged us to tell our troops that this was 'all part of God's divine plan' and he specifically referenced numerous citations out of the Book of Revelation referring to Armageddon and the imminent return of Jesus Christ."
"He said that 'President Trump has been anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his return to Earth," the NCO continued. "He had a big grin on his face when he said all of this which made his message seem even more crazy."
MRFF told Larsen that over 110 complaints came

In quick reversal, DOJ seeks to continue Trump's battle with law firms The switch came after the Justice Department told a federal appeals court it would drop its battle over executive orders involving law firms.

The one consistent aspect of this regime: there is no plan. No plan for foreign policy, for domestic policy, for legal strategy. There are only as hoc responses to the mood swings of a petulant old man, a doddering chaos agent lashing out moment by moment.

โ€œwhile planning the U.S. operation against Iran, the militaryโ€™s top general flagged an issue with the countryโ€™s stockpile of munitions. The primary concern revolves around the U.S.โ€™s stock of air defense interceptors critical in defending against Iranโ€™s wave of ballistic missile drone attacksโ€ฆโ€

And the Pentagon confirmed that three American F-15 fighter jets were shot down over Kuwait-apparently by friendly fire
