"It’s unclear why the US waited until now, some eight months into the war, to make this offer. The offer specifically mentions key aspects of the program, such as “facilities, equipment, and associated personnel, such as those in the scientific community, or the movement of any of the above.”

"It notes that “in 2025, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) reported that Iran is enriching uranium to 60% purity, a level that is a short technical step from the 90% required for a nuclear weapon. Iran is the only non-nuclear-weapon state to produce uranium at such a high enrichment level.”

"The release notes that “experts estimate this quantity, if enriched further, could be enough for several nuclear weapons.”

"Unclear" as to why they waited?  They waited until after the elections, Duh!

Carpet-bagger Lauren Boebert went down in her new “safe” East slope district.

One Republican might win a house seat in Colorado in the district covering the far western and southern corner of the state. He is ahead by 1200 votes out of 300,000 cast, so I’m sure it is not officially gonna be over for a long time.

I want the Republican Party of Reagan, Buckley, Goldwater, Friedman, Kirk, and Kemp back. MAGA hijacked that party. It's time to take it back.

If the Ds try to Court pack, get rid of the filibuster, raise taxes by an amount I deem to be "too much," stab Israel in the back, or adopt virtually any other aspect of the DSA platform I linked to a couple months ago, I'll be a guaranteed R vote again for sure.  Other than president, I typically vote R as it is, I'm not really a RINO you, know - just an anti-Trumpism R. 

Frankly, my presidential vote in 2028 is up for grabs.  If it is Schapiro v. Vance I'm probably going to vote for Schapiro.  If it is AOC v. Vance, I'll probably vote for Vance.  If it is Schapiro v. Rubio, I'm not sure who I'll vote for.  If it is AOC v. Trump Jr. I'm buying gold, guns and island real estate!
