Iran’s Nightmares › American Greatness
Victor Davis Hanson


Details of the recent limited Israeli retaliatory strike against Iranian anti-aircraft missile batteries at Isfahan are still sketchy. But nonetheless, we can draw some conclusions.

Israel’s small volley of missiles hit their intended targets, to the point of zeroing in on the very launchers designed to stop such incoming ordnance.

The target was near the Natanz enrichment facility. That proximity was by design. Israel showed Iran it could take out the very anti-missile battery designed to thwart an attack on its nearby nuclear facility.

The larger message sent to the world was that Israel could send a retaliatory barrage at Iranian nuclear sites with reasonable assurances that the incoming attacks could not be stopped. By comparison, Iran’s earlier attack on Israel was much greater and more indiscriminate. It was also a huge flop, with an estimated 99 percent of the more than 320 drones, cruise missiles, and ballistic missiles failing to hit their planned targets.

Moreover, it was reported that more than 50 percent of Iran’s roughly 115-120 ballistic missiles failed at launch or malfunctioned in flight.

Annual Massachusetts Outmigration Hits 39,000, Up 1,100% Over The Last Decade: BU Study
Could rise to 96,000 per year by 2030, costing Massachusetts $19.2 billion in adjusted gross income & $961 million in income tax revenue

BOSTON (April 24, 2024) – Annual net outmigration from Massachusetts has soared by a stunning 1,100 percent to 39,000 people since 2013, according to a new Boston University Questrom School of Business study. If the trend continues, the researchers found, the state’s net outmigration could reach 96,000 by 2030.

Outmigration cost Massachusetts $4.3 billion in adjusted gross income (AGI) and $213.7 million in tax revenue during the 2020-21 tax year. The majority of that money went to Florida ($1.77 billion), New Hampshire ($1.1 billion), and Maine ($393 million.) Those numbers could rise to $19.2 billion in AGI and $961 million in lost tax revenue by 2030.

“To make matters worse, those who are leaving tend to be younger and earn more than state averages,” said Boston University Questrom School of Business primary researcher and lecturer Mark Williams. “These are the people the Commonwealth needs to bolster its future workforce.”

The age group leaving in the largest numbers is 26-34, although most of the lost AGI comes from the departures of those aged 55-64. More than half of people who exited Massachusetts earn well over the state average.

Income tax, housing costs, and costs of health care are the largest drivers of outmigration, according to the study. ...

I doubt this is a 'surprise' to many on this forum. I thought of this myself months ago. What is surprising, is how many people in the country and even on this site support it.

If the Democrats can get Trump in jail for anything, "spitting gum on the sidewalk - jaywalking", for any charge at all (the reason does not matter to them), if the Dems can get Trump in jail without any security like Epstein, then he is on 'their turf'. This is what they want. This is the entire goal.

It is more than clear to any 'rational person' based on Cuba/China/Hamas/Mexico/Venezuela/Iran and all the other Democrat allies, what will happen next.

No surprise.  I've been praying for his safety for quite awhile.

As for those in this forum who support him being murdered; I am not aware of that.  Shame on them!!

What is wrong with people??  Murder? Chaos? Riots?  Hello.  These are NOT ok!!!!  Human life IS precious and sacred!!

As Jewish students fear for their safety, Biden has Michigan on his mind

Just as Kristallnacht was a seminal event in Adolf Hitler’s Germany, the recent explosion of antisemitic demonstrations on Ivy League campuses is a tipping point for President Joe Biden’s America.

After six months of calls for an immediate ceasefire and additional humanitarian aid to Palestinians, leftist protesters have upped the ante. Pro-Palestinian activists are now openly threatening the physical safety of Jewish students. And in a number of cases, such as that of an anti-Israel activist poking a Yale student in the eye with a Palestinian flag, it has gone well beyond mere threats. These so-called rallies can no longer be considered the exercise of these individuals’ First Amendment right to “free speech.”

The rhetoric and conduct of these brainwashed, radicalized students and the professional agitators embedded among them have reached a fever pitch. Last Friday night, protesters screamed the following at two Jewish Columbia University students: “Never forget the 7th of October. That will happen not one more time, not five more times, not 10 more times, not 100 more times, not 1,000 more times, not 10,000 more times. … The 7th of October is going to be every day for you.” By anyone’s definition, that is a death threat.

Moreover, the protesters’ rhetoric is no longer limited to the bullying of Jews. It now includes threats against America and attempts to legitimize and even exalt designated terrorist groups — an aspect of the story that has received little attention from the media. They’re chanting “Death to America” and “I am Hamas.”
