🇺🇸U.S. Central Command (United States Central Command) commander Admiral Brad Cooper provided a new operational update on strikes reportedly conducted inside Iran.

According to his statement, U.S. forces have struck nearly 200 targets, with strategic bomber aircraft now deploying 2,000 lb precision bombs. He also claimed that Iran's space-command equivalent infrastructure has been hit.
! Escalation at sea:
Cooper said operations against the Iranian Navy have intensified. He reported that a large Iranian drone carrier vessel — described as comparable in size to a WWII-era aircraft carrier — was struck and is currently on fire.🎯🇺🇸

Eminent Domain Horror in Arizona
ASU is using eminent domain to seize an 89 year old man’s 124 year old home that he’s owned for 50 years. He turned down their $850k offer. Now they’re forcing him out. Just an old man living in peace and the government can still take it.
This is terrifying.

The fascinating Finnish study from 2020. They took urban daycare playgrounds that were covered in gravel, asphalt, and rubber, and replaced parts with real forest floor, soil, moss, leaf litter, plants, and undergrowth.
They tracked about 75 kids aged 3 to 5. After just 28 days, the kids playing in the nature yards had more diverse microbes on their skin and in their gut, plus higher levels of regulatory T-cells that help calm the immune system.
Over longer periods, they showed fewer harmful bacteria like Streptococcus on their skin and lower levels of certain gut bacteria linked to inflammation. It supports the idea that letting kids get dirty in nature actually strengthens their immune systems and may help prevent allergies and autoimmune issues. Pretty powerful stuff.
Kids who grew up before cell phones, internet, and video games, the “come home when the streetlights turn on” generation, spent most of their day outside running around, getting dirty, and exposed to nature.
That constant contact with soil, plants, and microbes helped train their immune systems properly.
This ties directly to the hygiene hypothesis: less microbial exposure in super-clean, indoor environments can make the immune system overreact, leading to more allergies, asthma, and eczema. Childhood asthma rates were much lower before the 1980s, around 3-4%, and more than doubled by the mid-1990s. Allergic conditions overall have risen sharply in the indoor, screen-heavy era.
The Finnish studies talked about prove how fast this works, just weeks of playing in real dirt and nature improved kids’ immune markers.
Those earlier generations got that benefit naturally, every single day.
There is never rest for President Trump and his cabinet. Ending the practice of Birth Tourism is a must! It’s one of the many schemes for foreigners to get citizenship.

I found it somewhat hilarious when @RepLoudermilk asked her a polite clarifying question about how to address her: something like, “I want to make sure I’m respectful. Is it Ms. Jones or Ms. Wallace-Jones?” to which, of course, she pled the fifth.

I'm from Mississippi. This is truly awful. But, guess what this monster's older brothers were up to only two days later?

I have truly awful news...
A 17-year-old Black male allegedly m*rdered an elderly White couple in their own home in rural Mississippi...
...and then opened fire on 4 sheriff's deputies AND AN INFANT!!!!
He shot at a BABY!!!
Their names were Billy and Virginia Blair. He was 74. She was 71.
They were high-school sweethearts and owned a tire shop together, their pastor called them "the sweetest couple," people who "loved the Lord."
In broad daylight, a 17-year-old broke into their home and m*rdered them both.
Police say the suspect opened fire on FOUR officers... and an INFANT at the scene.
All of them were hit.
By the grace of God, all miraculously survived.
The 17-year-old now faces 13 felonies, including TWO counts of capital m*rder.
A judge denied him bond.
Billy and Virginia Blair survived everything life threw at them for over 70 years...
...only to be murdered in the one place they should have been safest.
Their own home.
Say their names.
Billy and Virginia Blair.
@mattvanswol Matt... check out what happened with his brothers a couple of days after.

"/Republicans will continue to do everything we can to keep our country and our communities secure." How about making our ELECTIONS secure @LeaderJohnThune??? Pass the SAVE America Act!!! @SenateGOP
Democrats have made it clear this year that for them, it’s always politics over policy.
Republicans will continue to do everything we can to keep our country and our communities secure.
