IRAN WANTS WAR?

Iran has defied U.S. warnings and fired off another missile from its Semnan base.  The missile used in yesterday’s launch was a short-range Mersad surface-to-air missile. 

COMMENTS:

They’re obviously willing to do whatever it takes to find out whether or not Trump means what he says, including going to war if necessary.  We wouldn’t be in this position if Obama had done has damned job. 

TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:

Q. Former Arizona Governor Jan Brewer doubts they can have the border wall done in two years.  What do you think?  (Carlos ~ Needles, CA)
A. She may be correct.  It occurs to me that there may be some land ownership issues to resolve, possibly in the courts.  That alone could take several years to litigate.  As for the rest of it… engineering, cost estimates, budgetary approvals, bid processes… even under an expedited process, those could also take more than two years. 

Q. I’ve heard you complain about the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals and they’re also under fire from FOX NEWS and others.  Now, they are delaying a decision on what I think is a pretty easy question to answer with Trump’s ban.  What do you think is up with that?  (Blaze ~ Snoqualmie, WA)
A. My guess is that they have already decided to rule against Trump and the temporary ban and, knowing that it’s wrong, they’re busy trying to craft verbiage to justify their ruling. 

Q. There are a lot of people, including me, who are very upset with Shepard Smith on FOX NEWS, because he’s too anti-Trump.  Why don’t they fire him?  (Vicki ~ Anderson, CA)
A. My answer to that is: why don’t you do like I have done and just quit watching him?  Why get yourself all worked up over an idiot?   

TODAY’S QUOTE:

“In any event, the proper question isn’t what a journalist thinks is relevant, but what his or her audience thinks is relevant.  Denying people information they would find useful because you think they shouldn’t find it useful is censorship, not journalism.” ~ Michael Kinsley
