Israeli attacks: Israel launched a large-scale aerial assault on Iran, described as the most devastating blow since Saddam Hussein's invasion.

Targets: Israeli jets bombed military headquarters, officers' residences in Tehran, and the Natanz uranium enrichment facility.

Scale of operation: Approximately 200 Israeli warplanes conducted bombing raids across Iran, with potential for strikes to continue for weeks.

Political context: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu initiated the offensive, seen as a significant gamble amidst existing conflict in the region.

Iran's response: Iran's supreme leader warned of severe punishment, and reports indicate an initial response involved launching drones.

Regional implications: The strikes risk prolonged conflict across the Middle East, potentially involving US bases and Gulf states.

Organized, Not Organic: The Los Angeles unrest is described as a calculated civil terrorism movement, not a spontaneous protest.

Symbolic Gear: The prevalent use of keffiyehs and identical gear suggests coordination among the participants.

Logistical Support: The large quantity of gas masks and coordinated acts of violence like rock-throwing and arson point to organization and planning.

Globalization of Intifada: Connections to groups like Students for Justice in Palestine suggest the unrest is linked to a broader anti-Western agenda.

Misleading Media: Some media outlets are accused of mischaracterizing the events as peaceful protests rather than acts of lawlessness.

Strategic Intimidation: The author posits that these organized acts of violence aim to make immigration law enforcement a contentious issue.

Central Argument: Federal Judge James Boasberg is blamed for initiating anti-deportation riots through his rulings that hindered enforcement of the Alien Enemies Act.

Initial Ruling Impact: Judge Boasberg's swift actions, including an immediate ban on deportation of individuals covered by the AEA and an order to return already-departed planes, are seen as key in sparking the unrest.

Spread of Influence: Boasberg's status as chief judge and his connections are highlighted, suggesting his rulings emboldened other judges across the country to issue similar orders blocking deportations.

Consequence of Judicial Actions: The actions of these judges are presented as undermining the president's authority on immigration and national security, contributing to the current lawlessness and riots.

Specific Examples: The article cites specific cases where judges intervened to stop deportations, including a Venezuelan crime racket member, a man accused of trafficking, and relatives of an attempted firebomber, to illustrate the broader trend.

Criticism: Some view ACIP member appointments, including Martin Kulldorff, as unqualified due to perceived 'vaccine skepticism.'

Great Barrington Declaration (GBD): Co-authored by Kulldorff, the GBD proposed focused protection for vulnearable during COVID-19 and normalcy for healthy individuals, which is now seen as a superior approach.

Vaccine Assessment: Vaccines have both benefits and risks, requiring careful weighing for different groups and ages.

ACIP Panel Composition: A panel with members willing to challenge conventional wisdom is more likely to reach accurate conclusions than one solely of 'vaccine enthusiasts.'

Vaccine Impact: Vaccines have saved many lives but also caused harm to some.

New Army program: Silicon Valley tech executives are joining a new U.S. Army Reserve program focused on bringing tech upgrades.

Inaugural cohort: The first group includes chief technology officers from Palantir and Meta Platforms, along with OpenAI alumni.

Stated mission: The executives will serve part-time to assist the Army with technology advancements.

Shifting relationship: The program highlights a deepening relationship between the Pentagon and the tech industry.

Service commitment: Participants will serve about 120 hours per year as lieutenant colonels, with some flexibility in their duties.

Data Scrutiny: A report by Regavim challenges U.N. OCHA data on West Bank violence, alleging it includes non-violent incidents in its count of violent settler events.

Incident Inclusion: The U.N. data reportedly includes activities such as visits to the Temple Mount, archaeological site visits, and even traffic accidents as 'settler violence'.

Questionable Victims: The U.N. count of alleged violent incidents includes Palestinians harmed while engaging in terrorist attacks and cases where the victim's involvement in clashes is noted.

Blame on Security Forces: In some instances counted as 'settler violence' by the U.N., the report indicates that Israeli security forces, not settlers, were responsible.

Contrast with Palestinian Attacks: Israeli data from Shin Bet records a significantly higher number of serious attacks by Palestinians against Israeli civilians compared to the filtered 'settler violence' incidents.
