RIP Senator Lindsey Graham
Lindsey Graham, senator from South Carolina has unexpectedly passed away. Graham was the biggest supporter of Reza Pahlavi in the US government and the strongest proponent for actively toppling the Islamic Regime. Graham was also a long-time friend and proponent of Israel. He consistently backed President Trump, but was never afraid to nudge him in the right direction. His voice in Washington will be sorely missed. Rest in Peace.
RIP Senator Lindsey Graham
Equal Rights Theology
1. God is all-perfect [By Definition] 2. Equal rights are more perfect than inequal rights 3. Therefore, God grants equal rights to polygamists and gays

So, I'm not sure if this is supposed to be tongue-in-cheek, but if you meant it as a serious philosophical argument, it has some very obvious flaws. 1. Even if you posit both of your axioms (statements 1 &2) statement 3 classifies identities not actions. ie A biblically-sanctioned judge or Quranicly-sanctioned Cadi could say, "Yes. Gays and polygamists have the same rights as straight monogamists. Just like a straight man should be executed for having sex with a man, so should a gay man be executed for having sex with a man." In fact all religious systems tend to separate the action from the individual - the individual is always redeemable if they repent from sin, which is action. 2. Statement 2 is not axiomatic. Why are equal rights better than inequal rights, necessarily? I think you could posit that in a society with freedom of expression/belief with no official religion or where there are a multitude of belief systems, then equal rights for all people is NECESSARY to the public order. ie If we can't categorically endorse Christianity or Islam or atheism, than we can't treat the Christian or the Moslem or the atheist differently under law. But once you posit that a Perfect God exists, definitionally, God can endorse belief system A over belief system B and even create different ways to treat those who believe A vs. those who believe B. 3. Getting back to my first point EVERYONE agrees that certain behavior abrogates rights. Murder is punished in every society, so if a murderer is jailed or executed their rights have been violated - and that's universally justified. So the only question is who decides which behaviors are punished. 4. in statement #2 you say "more perfect". I don't think such thing exists because perfect is a binary ideal. ie if you get 100% on a test, the test is perfect. if you get 99%. 75% or 30% none of those are perfect. The best you could say is 99% is closer to perfect.

My apologies if I made this long rant and you were just being sarcastic.
Today is a great day!

Hormuz News (Nuz?)
After Iran targets more tankers in Hormuz Strait, US returns sanctions on Iran oil exports. Price per barrel has shot up.

my 1 for 28/06
so just small catch up, everyone had heard the term “axis of evil” (russia, china, i.r. of Iran, north korea), also we heard of the “resistance” (huthies, irgc, hammas, hezbolla). so to illuminate them all, there is only one way, to make them weaker in the long run, so a marathon is a good analogy. When you know you have a particular distance to cover, you train yourself for that distance, but now imagine that whenever you see the finish line, they move it further for some more meters, and repeat it on and on. that will make you lose patience, and eventually you will fall. so now that what we see. as soon as russia has a small chance to sell their oil they try to do it (regardless of casualties and other obstacles), and also when a barrel gets beyond 100$, it makes the irgc oil not profitable, so eventually russia and irgc suddenly have conflicts of interests. may not be a 4D chess, but a natural cause and effect. also, cheap oil can help Trump to get through the midterms, and then we will se some boombooms all over.

I am hopeful you are right, but it still means regular Iranians will have to suffer till November. And remember Americans generally, including most Republicans, hate war. Even those who hate the Islamic theocracy aren't very gung-ho about freeing Iran through military action. It's important to realize this because it explains why Trump always has one hand tied behind his back, and why Rubio and Graham often have to rollback overly aggressive statements. As I was explaining to someone last week - Netanyahu attacked Iran with 88% support and it went up. Trump started the war with barely 45% support and it went down. That's the serious wedge between Israel and the USA.
