The old house wasn't the treasure.
The lessons learned there were.
My latest Reflections column, "That Old House," shares some memories from growing up in rural Georgia and the life lessons that came with them.

As a former Clean Air Act lawyer, I’ll say it plainly: advanced recycling should be regulated as manufacturing—not waste. Getting this right can unlock innovation, jobs, and more plastics recycled here in the U.S.

The facts are clear: fewer rail options mean higher costs, reduced competition, and greater risk across the supply chain that we simply can’t afford. https://t.co/jI9PavplIL
.@realDonaldTrump tells it like it is, and it’s time Congress drop the slick talk and do the same. Creatures of Washington hide behind carefully crafted phrases, but the people of GA-11 want something new. I’m running to say what I mean and do what I say. Check out our new ad!
Dear @RaceTrac your West Cobb operations can’t do simple math. A suspension of the $.33/gallon Georgia gas tax does not equal $.20/reduction in gas price. @AgCommHarperGA might want to check it out.
🚨NEW: Stephen A. Smith *STUNNED* when California Rep. Kevin Kiley informs him his state bans voter ID requirements🤯
"Hold on ... WHAT!? When did that happen!? ... I can't believe it! ... Lord have mercy. You can't make this up."

Not sure if this is a thing everywhere, but seniors give their jerseys to the teachers who had the greatest impact on their lives. Thank you to the teachers who really make a difference in these kids' lives.

Jon Ossoff doesn’t care about the TSA, Coast Guard, and CPB employees going without pay. He doesn’t care about the families waiting in hours long security lines missing their flights. Jon Ossoff doesn’t care about you.
Twenty-four hours ago there were seven countries in this conflict. Now there are twelve. By Monday there will be more.
Here is the full picture no single news feed is giving you.
Israel struck Tehran, Isfahan, Qom, Karaj, Kermanshah, Tabriz, and Lorestan in a single coordinated operation timed to the moment Iran’s senior leadership gathered in one room. Daylight strikes at 8:15 a.m. because the target was not infrastructure. The target was a meeting. Months of intelligence. One window. The first Israeli strike in history designed not to destroy a program but to decapitate a government.
Iran answered by firing missiles at every American installation it could reach. Bahrain’s Fifth Fleet headquarters. Al Dhafra in the UAE. Al Udeid in Qatar. Ali Al Salem in Kuwait. Jordan shot down two ballistic missiles over its own territory. One civilian killed in Abu Dhabi from debris. Every Gulf defense system activated simultaneously for the first time. Most intercepts succeeded. Iran demonstrated range. It failed to demonstrate precision.
And then the dominoes fell.
Saudi Arabia, which four weeks ago personally promised Tehran it would never allow its territory to be used against Iran, released a statement pledging “all its capabilities” to support every attacked nation in “all measures they take.” Dubai shut down both international airports indefinitely. 280 flights canceled. Emirates, Etihad, Qatar Airways, Turkish Airlines, Air India, Lufthansa, British Airways grounded or rerouting. The busiest international aviation hub on earth went dark because Iranian missiles were crossing its airspace.
Now watch what is moving in the shadows. Russia signed a 500-unit Verba MANPADS deal with Iran in December. China is finalizing CM-302 anti-ship missiles for the IRGC navy. Joint Russia-China-Iran naval drills ran through the Strait of Hormuz eleven days ago. But when the strikes landed, Moscow issued a statement. Beijing issued a statement. Neither moved a ship, a plane, or a soldier.
Russia called it “unprovoked armed aggression.” China called it “extremely dangerous hegemonic bullying.” Then both sat on their hands while their ally absorbed precision strikes on its capital and fired missiles into six sovereign nations, building the very coalition Russia and China spent a decade trying to prevent.
Iran needed its allies to act. They wrote press releases.
This is the architecture of isolation. In 48 hours Iran went from a nation with diplomatic channels to Oman, trade ties to China, arms deals with Russia, and détente with Saudi Arabia to a nation that attacked its own mediators, exhausted its missiles against interceptors, and watched its partners choose words over weapons.
The regime that survived the June war. The regime that survived 32,000 protester deaths. The regime that survived economic collapse. That regime now faces precision strikes, a six-nation coalition, closed airspace, frozen diplomacy, and allies who condemn on television what they will not contest on the battlefield.
The war is 24 hours old. Iran is already alone. https://t.co/BrzGRrU3VW
