Accounts pushing disinfo/misinfo about Iran vs. Israel appear to be crowding out the few credible sources remaining on Twitter/X. As @jsrailton puts it: "Twitter is awash with a flood tide of falsehoods tonight. Some is the work of people trying to farm revenue. And some is disinformation seeking to seed specific false perceptions."

Even the accounts that I trusted during the 2020 elections seem to have embraced sensationalism in order fuel the anger that keeps people tied to the platform.

Between this and Beyoncé, I’ll be a hardcore country music fan before too long.

Enjoy the rest of your Saturday.

Cowboy Carter is really good. The gospel aspects and the historical context embedded in the album fascinate me.

Hey_Beth,
@Hey_Beth@sfba.social avatar

@TonyStark

Yes, it really is.

As a strictly listen to music in the car kind of person, I only knew Beyonce's biggest hits, and it was Texas Hold 'Em and subsequent articles about the album - including those that discussed how country music radio stations would react - that had me listen to the whole thing.

I was blown away.

Two of my favorite novels are A Prayer for Owen Meeny and Holes, and I recently discover Tru and Nelle. The reason I love all three is the same: the authors take all of these threads and masterfully weave them throughout the story, and at the end, reveal this amazing conclusion. Cowboy Carter is similar.

I can't really describe its impact on me any other way. Just a really beautiful story.

CBS story:

The U.S. is on standby for further action by Iran, and from within the region via its proxies, a U.S. official told CBS News.

The U.S. is positioned to be able to shoot down incoming drones from Iran via assets in Iraq and Syria, three U.S. officials told CBS News. The U.S. also has fighter jets that are now on standby.

Found a 1998 article by Lawrence Wright that describes the beliefs of fundamentalist Christians that the second coming of Jesus requires the destruction of The Dome of the Rock.

"Most Evangelicals believe that the establishment of the State of Israel and the capture of Jerusalem have cleared the way for these final events. “I am one of those who believe that the next event on God’s calendar is the rapture of the Church—the coming of Christ to take the Church to itself,” the Reverend Jerry Falwell, another notable defender of the nation of Israel, says. “I believe there will be a seven-year tribulation period. It is during that time that the new Temple will be built. And I believe that, at the end of the seven years of tribulation, the battle of Armageddon will transpire and the establishment of the one-thousand-year reign of Christ on Earth will begin.”

"According to Clyde Lott, the intent of many Evangelical Christians who are helping Israel today is to speed along the time when they will be raptured into Heaven, leaving behind a world in chaos and flames. “It’s very sad, but I would say the interest in the Christian world is to see the Temple rebuilt from the Antichrist perspective, for the rapture of the Church, and that’s a very selfish point of view,” Lott says. “The very people that are advocating this are the ones that are very anti-Semitic in their feelings.”"

Taylor Hackford on Louis Gossett Jr, explaining the role of Master Sergeant Foley, was written as a white man.

When I visited the Navy Officers Flight Training Center in Pensacola, FL, I discovered that many of the Drill Instructors there were men of color. I found it interesting that Black & Brown enlisted men had make-or-break control over whether white college graduates would become officers and fighter pilots. At that moment I changed the casting profile for Sergeant Foley and started meeting actors of color. Lou Gossett came to see me. I knew and admired his stage work. He told me that he'd served in the US Army as a Ranger, so in addition to being an accomplished actor, he knew military life. I hired him on the spot. Lou Gossett’s Sergeant Foley may have been the first Black character in American cinema to have absolute authority over white characters. The Academy recognized his consummate performance by voting him an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. He definitely deserved it.

Wow.

Trafalgar's last poll was almost spot on.

Trump: 59%
Haley: 38%

So far, with 92% of the vote in, Trump is at 59.9% and Haley has 39.4%.

Her numbers may be slightly higher because of Democrats showing up to vote in the open primary. I heard that it could be 4%.

Trafalgar. Didn't see that coming.

Yep. His issues are glossed over while the media continues with their Biden narrative.

I will say, however, that Trump presented himself very different in his interview with Laura Ingraham. I didn't see a lot, but in the clips I did, he sounded decent.

I mean, he sounded crazy, but the speech was clearer.

I was thinking about drug allegations, too. Also wondering about other health issues.

My husband is a diabetic, and it does not take me long to realize when something is off with his medications. There are longer passes when He responds to me.

I've wondered if the cortisol levels in Trump's brain from eight years of tantruming hasn't caused brain damage.
