JD Vance put it best. In striking Iran’s nuclear installations, Vance said the US proved that it “could fly a bunker buster bomb from Missouri to Iran completely undetected without landing once on the ground, and it can destroy whatever nuclear capacity Iran builds up.”“I think that lesson is what’s going to teach them not to rebuild their nuclear capacity,” he said.

This happened in days ago in Los Angeles when a group of rioters played a game of chicken with motorists. What, exactly, did this woman think would happen when she stood in front of a moving car? She obviously believed the driver would do what other Californians do in this situation: Lock their doors, grit their teeth and inch slowly though the bellowing anarchists while the protesters scream, pound on their car and in some cases, jump on the roof.
