Israel Strikes Iran!
Israel has struck 100 targets overnight. Hitting targets, including military sites, nuclear sites, with top Iranian commanders and personnel dead. Marco Rubio, Secretary of State, said the US had nothing to do with it. He stated that the operation was Israel acting on its own. However, the Iranian Foreign Minister wasn't so sure. He poured scorn on the idea that it is just Israel acting on its own. The question is, could Israel conduct such an operation on its own? Israel has bombed Iranian targets before, when it attacked selected targets across Iran after Iran launched missiles and drones at Israel. Back in 1981, Iran attacked Iraq's nuclear site in Baghdad. So, certainly Israel can hit targets beyond its border. It has bombed the Houthis in response to their attacks on its territory. How much the US aids or does not aid Israel in such attacks is open to question.

Altcoin season could be near: Why June can see a 2021-style rally
**Altcoin Season Could Be Near: Why June Can See a 2021-Style Rally** Numerous analysts and investors are beginning to speculate that an altcoin season may be just around the corner as the cryptocurrency market continues to show signs of recovery. The month of June, historically a favorable period for crypto rallies, is shaping up to potentially mirror the explosive growth seen in 2021. The stage may be set for altcoins to take the lead as Bitcoin's strength and dominance plateau. ### What Is the Season for Altcoins? Altcoin season, or "alt season," refers to a period when alternative cryptocurrencies—those other than Bitcoin—outperform the leading digital asset. During this phase, investors rotate capital from Bitcoin into smaller market cap assets in pursuit of higher gains. This is a time when tokens like Ethereum, Solana, Cardano, and a number of smaller-cap projects saw huge returns in a short amount of time. Typically, altcoin seasons follow a strong Bitcoin rally as market participants look for the “next big thing.”

How can anyone govern when opinion is so diverse
How can anyone govern when opinion is so diverse Are humans suitable for government. Population levels in nearly every nation are at their highest ever level. The colossal numbers involved and the diversity of opinion because we now have universal education and media saturation, has made the doctrine that numbers of apparent supporters is a valid reason for control, into a distortion of democracy.

Send a Texas Ranger and Call It a Day
The above was posted to the official Face Book account of J. Kenneth Blackwell who is a longtime conservative political figure, former Ohio Secretary of State, and self-described Christian nationalist. He served as co-chair of George W. Bush’s 2004 re-election campaign and has remained an outspoken voice in right-wing media. A frequent critic of immigration policy and progressive social movements, Blackwell gained my attention for a post framing Los Angeles protesters as criminal "invaders." This article is a direct response.

Think of the Children
Growing up in a library space, I was taught one very important rule by my mother. If I read something that made me uncomfortable, I would come to her. And through my reading journey, I was given access to spaces within the library by her, first directed to the easy readers, then to larger books, and upwards into the teen section. It was an experience I had to engage with books which was very simple: there were just some books which I shouldn't read. Not because the books themselves were necessarily bad, but that I wasn't ready to read them. I had a relationship with my parents which meant they were constantly in the loop about what I was reading.
