Them Arabs are Smart

 Instead of responding the attacks by Israel and the USA and striking military targets, Iran has taken a different path. They are striking critical infrastructure like desalinization plants in countries in which the USA has m ilitary bases. They are blockading the Straits of Hormuz. They are attacking the economy; not the military. IMHO a very smart move. They know that our military is much stronger than theirs. Instead, they are bringing the entire global economy into play; resulting in extremely strong pressure for Israel and the USA to back down.

Defunding Home Security

 Recently, the Democrats offered to negotiate reforming ICE separately from all othe Homeland Security agencies. The introduced bill to unlock funding for all of the other agencies. But, the republicans refused to separate the issues insisting an all-or-nothing aproach. IMHO, the Republicans are now responsible for any further witholding of funds for those other agencies, not the Democrats.

Way to go! Republicans! Stop blaming the Democrats. Why not compromise and get back to negotiating in good faith?
