"Iran poses a threat to global order by way of its damaged but abiding nuclear ambitions, its deep strategic ties to Moscow and Beijing, its persistent threats to maritime commerce and its support for international terrorism."

"And it’s a mortal threat to the life and safety of its own people, many thousands of whom it slaughtered last month. There was a time not long ago when Americans, both left and right, cared enough about human rights to believe it could, in some circumstances, justify military intervention."

News footage appears to show Trump dozing during Board of Peace meeting - The Boston Globe Over the course of the meeting, Trump appeared to be fighting sleep and at times looked to nod off.

Watching a 1985 bball game on YouTube between Georgetown & Syracuse because my dad died last week and we spent the ‘80s watching Big East bball. Syracuse fans just threw an orange at the backboard while Patrick Ewing was shooting a free throw. Len Berman & Bill Raftery are beside themselves.
