U.S. President Donald J. Trump spoke from the Situation Room earlier with Fox News’ Trey Yingst, telling him that 49 BGM-109 Tomahawk Land Attack Missiles (TLAM) have so far been fired at targets in Iran, along with strikes by fighter aircraft, with some strikes occurring only miles from the Iranian capital of Tehran. President Trump added that he spoke directly with Iranian officials tonight who asked him to stop bombing, stating that the strikes will stop soon and if they don't sign the agreement, “we'll bomb the shit out of them.”

Did you know that one of the greatest practical jokes ever pulled beyond Earth belongs to astronaut Owen Garriott.
In 1973, Garriott was part of the crew aboard Skylab, America’s first space station. The prank he played on Mission Control officer Robert Crippen earned a permanent place in astronaut humor.
Before the mission, Garriott brought a tape recorder into space. On it, his wife had recorded several short lines. One day, when Robert Crippen made radio contact with Skylab from Houston, Garriott was ready with the recording.
The exchange went something like this:
“Skylab, this is Houston. Please respond.”
A cheerful woman’s voice came over the line.
“Good morning, Houston. This is Skylab.”
After a brief pause, Mission Control asked carefully:
“Who is speaking?”
“Hi, Robert,” the voice replied. “This is Helen, Owen’s wife.”
For a few seconds, Crippen tried to process what he had just heard. Then he finally managed to ask:
“What are you doing up there?”
“I just thought I’d bring the boys something to eat,” the voice answered from orbit. “Everything is fresh.”
Mission Control fell silent for nearly a full minute.
Then the connection was cut.
Apparently, even a trained flight controller needed a moment to recover from that one.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Democrat Nazi Graham Platner’s wife releases numerous text messages of him talking with other women.
In one he refers to his dk as “Mein Furher” and asks if the woman wants him to “blitzkrieg that ass”
Game over.
Prayers for the soul of Bob Horner, He was part of my teenage years and I was a major fan of his hitting style, I used to love to watch the @Braves on TBS. He was an inspiration and a great RHH.. Condolences to his and the Braves family..
Bob Horner and I were destined to be teammates somewhere. I signed a letter of intent to play baseball at Arizona State before I was drafted. Bob played at ASU and ended up in Atlanta my first full year in the major leagues—1978. One way or another, it was bound to happen.
From the minute Bob Horner joined the Braves, all us players could see he was good. I mean… really good. And that swing—short and quick, x or and could turn around anybody’s fast ball. And Bob knew the strike zone. He just did not swing at a bad pitch (like I had a tendency to do a little too often…) He was a unique talent and I was very lucky to be in the lineup with him most of my career. All of my numbers were better when he was hitting behind me. And that fact is not lost on me. I know my career was better because of him.
It’s been a hard few weeks for the Braves Family losing Ted and Bobby—and now Bob. These 3 men all had such a profound impact on my career. I am forever grateful.
Nancy and I will miss Bob and our hearts go out to Chris and Trent and Tyler, along with their entire family.
The older we get, the more we cherish wonderful memories and this past month has brought a flood of them back to us. The gratitude we feel for them all has been overwhelming.
Rest well, my friend and teammate.
@realDonaldTrump Mr. President, thank you for mentioning my Great Uncle, Charles Kelly, in your speech yesterday . One thing...I've always wondered why he was never awarded the Medal of Honor after his death.What he did (and created) before he was killed has saved so many lives
“Gilligan, what was it like living all those years on a desert island?”
“Hand me a Marlboro and I’ll tell you some shit that will fuck you up for life.”
Smokey and the Bandit turns 49 today. If it weren’t for a space saga from a galaxy far, far away, it would’ve been '77’s biggest hit. Burt Reynolds starred, but Jackie Gleason flat-out steals the movie. Now, gimme a diablo sandwich and a Dr Pepper, ’cause I’m in a goddamn hurry.
Now official: The city of Nashville has been awarded Super Bowl LXIV, as the Music City will host in February of 2030. The NFL’s owners have just approved it.
