Aftermath of Raisi's Death.
The death of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and the death of the Foreign Minister must have shaken the Iranian nation to its core. Despite the current Ayatollah telling people not to worry society would carry on. One wonders if the elderly Ayatollah was saying that more for himself than the people of Iran. The regime is stable but has faced demonstrations over women's rights and other factors. Iran cracked down hard on demonstrators but the anti-Islamic movement has not gone away. Opponents of the regime have been openly saying they are glad Raisi is gone.

Zelenskyy Cancels Trip.
President Zelensky had to cut short a trip to Portugal and Spain. Mr. Zelensky was believed to be signing a defence agreement with both countries. Mr. Zelensky, however, cancelled the trip when it became clear Russian forces were bearing down on the city of Kharkiv. Kharkiv is a major city in Ukraine just down the road from the capital of Ukraine, Kyiv Should Kharkiv fall to Russian forces that would put Ukraine in a dangerous position. Therefore, from Zelensky's point of view, while getting support from abroad is important, Zelensky must be mindful of the home front.

Twitter's Permenant Ban
See Affiliate Link Note at end of article Introduction It has been twenty months since Twitter/X permanently banned my account, and I'm still disappointed by the decision. I send an appeal about every four months just to see if they will reconsider. I think I will need to send a written letter to Elon Musk (and Linda Yaccarino, X Corp's CEO) as there doesn't appear to be an escalation process. Is the permanent ban part of the former "Stay Woke" or "Psychological Safety" culture Elon Musk references in the book by Walter Isaacson, Elon Musk? It is a great book if you need something to read.
