I see a lot of talk about restraint.

Should we at least have a meaningful discussion about the possible benefits of victory?

The Iranian regime needs to be toppled (for Iranians and the rest of us). What steps will get us there? How could Israel's next move help?

Has anyone's opinion — about anything — been meaningly changed here on Twitter (.com)? If so, share your story.

There are many reasons not to vote for Joe Biden. I understand them (although, there are NO good reasons to vote for Trump).

But surely we can take the economy out of the discussion.

Some of the best writing by academics is found in their footnotes. It is in the footnotes that I find they're freer to express their ideas, tell a joke, draw an inference, wonder aloud, and cite great minds.

Pro-tip: Move that energy and imagination to the center of the page.

Here's the message that democrats cannot seem to figure out (and y'all heard it here first):

Republicans: The Democrats want to redistribute YOUR money!

Democrats: Read my lips. Your money has ALREADY been REDISTRIBUTED. Perhaps you've noticed! We're just tryin' to get it back

The designers and engineers of Israel's Iron Dome should be given the Nobel Prize in physics.

If Israel had not intercepted 99% of the Iranian missiles, and thousands had died, the world might be at war.

That deserves a metal on a string.

I was under Iraqi missile attack in 1991. I was in a sealed room in Jerusalem expecting mustard and nerve gas to on the SCUDs fired from Iraq in order to draw Israel into the war.

My thoughts and understanding are with the people of Israel tonight.

And yours should be too.

Sure. Your minimum wage hasn't kept pace with inflation so your cost of living has increased and quality of life as gone done and now you're angry and broke.

How was that?

The New York Times has literally lost its mind. HIS life was ruined? It is UNIVERALLY acknowledged that he murdered two people with a knife and basically beheaded his ex-wife. I simply can't believe I'm reading this.
