It offended Protestants. (His bigger base)
Former NYC Mayor Eric Adams Granted Albanian Citizenship Passport
NEW YORK (WABC) -- Former New York City Mayor Eric Adams has been granted Albanian citizenship and has received an Albanian passport.
According to a decree signed by President of the Republic, Bajram Begai, the citizenship was granted following a request submitted by Adams himself.
A spokesman for the former mayor said Adams has long been a friend of the Albanian-American community and said New York City has one of the largest Albanian populations in the United States.
"The decision by the Republic of Albania to grant Mayor Adams citizenship reflects that enduring relationship and mutual respect," spokesman Todd Shapiro said in a statement. "Leaders around the world - including mayors and presidents - have historically been recognized with honorary or dual citizenships as a symbol of international partnership and shared values."

Graphic warning
How Ben Sasse Is Living Now That He Is Dying

I didn't understand his speech, but CNBC says, "US will hit iran hard over the next 2-3 weeks"
Trump says U.S. will ‘hit’ Iran ‘extremely hard over next two to three weeks’
Trump said the U.S. is going to “hit” Iran “extremely hard” over the next two or three weeks, likely dashing hopes for those who hoped the war would end imminently.
“We’re going to hit them extremely hard over the next two to three weeks,” Trump said. “We’re going to bring them back to the stone ages, where they belong.”
Despite the apparent escalation, Trump said that “discussions are ongoing,” leaving a diplomatic resolution on the table.

Seriously, I only heard airing of greivances and bragging, but somehow they found this in there....
But then I really didn't "watch it"
Lessons from America's First War With Iran (Iran-Iraq War) Brookings Institute 2013
This is a fairly long read, but worthwhile. Written in 2013. I did not know that during the 1980's Israel supported the Islamic Republic of Iran. I knew they had supported the Shah's government, but they felt in the 80's, they felt Saddam was more of threat. They also were likely involved with Iran-Contra...Interesting read.
In hindsight, the central lesson of the war in the 1980s is that it is easy to start a conflict with Iran and very difficult to end it. The Islamic Republic of Iran is not easy to intimidate and is likely to retaliate asymmetrically. Another key lesson is to beware the advice of your allies, both Arabs and Israelis, who are prone to give irresponsible recommendations on how to deal with Tehran.
The Toll of the Iran-Iraq War
The Iran-Iraq War was devastating. It was one of the largest and longest conventional interstate wars since the Korean War ended in 1953. A half million lives were lost, and perhaps another million were injured. The economic cost of the war exceeded one trillion dollars.1 Yet, the battle lines at the end of the war were almost exactly where they had been at the beginning of hostilities. It was also the only war in modern times in which chemical weapons were used on a massive scale.
Although the war ended in 1988, it led to numerous aftershocks that rippled throughout the region including the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait in 1990, the liberation of Kuwait a year later, and the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003. The bloody U.S. war that President Obama recently ended in Iraq was the finale in this march of folly. The seeds of multigenerational tragedy were planted in the Iran-Iraq War. The world will live with its consequences for decades, if not longer.

However, the article fails to mention: Iran is one of oldest nation states in the world. (2,500 BC) Over millenia, they have resisted takeovers many times. Iraq was part of the Ottoman Empire (Turkey) until the end of WWI. Iran is a very stable nation state. Most of the Arab states of the Levant are not very stable. This makes a huge difference.
Tiger Woods in relationship with Vanessa Trump
When he had his crash, I forgot that he's with Trump Jr's ex.
I don't know how "involved" they are. Does he live with them? I've seen Kai's mother on a few of Kai's videos, but I haven't seen Tiger Woods, although I've only watched a few of her videos.
Vanessa is reportedly furious with him amid his latest legal trouble. "She's both disappointed and a little bit p***ed, if I'm being honest. It's a definite red flag and she told him that he's going to get this sorted out, and that she's going to require that," a source told the Daily Mail. "He has to get things under control, or she's not going to stick around." Thankfully, Vanessa doesn't have to worry about her children's safety, because according to the New York Post, Donald Trump's grandkids have Secret Service protection while he's president, so Woods wasn't allowed to drive them even before his recent DUI.

Mine doesn't but Houston does.

A federal jury returned a mixed verdict on Friday in the trial of nine people accused of conspiring to commit terrorism at the Prairieland immigration detention center last summer.

The verdict was read aloud shortly after 2:30 p.m.

I know that Trump declared Antifa a "terrorist" organization, but I thought federal terrorism laws only applied to international terrorism, not domestic terrorism? Am I missing something?
