Ted Turner, one of the Greats of All Time, just died.

He founded CNN, sold it, and was personally devastated by the Deal because the new ownership took CNN, his "baby," and destroyed it. It became woke, and everything that he is not all about.

Maybe the new buyers, wonderful people, will be able to bring it back to its former credibility and glory.

Regardless, however, one of the Greats of Broadcast History, and a friend of mine. Whenever I needed him, he was there, always willing to fight for a good cause!

The enemy, in its new plan with a naval blockade, is seeking economic pressure and media propaganda to destroy the country's cohesion and force us to surrender.

Of course, we do not rule out the possibility of a military attack, especially terrorist attacks, but the part of the enemy's plan that relates to society is to weaken Iran from within.

The enemy is placing great hope on economic pressure, and it is clear that they have again been given false reports, based on which they have made wrong decisions, and these wrong decisions will cause hardship for everyone.

Iran is now open to discussing its nuclear program, though major disputes remain over uranium enrichment, sanctions relief, and control of the Strait of Hormuz.

The proposed monthlong talks would include easing Iranian restrictions in the strait and scaling back U.S. pressure on Iranian ports.

This idea of conspiracy theories — if there were aliens, alien spaceships, or anything under the control of the United States government that we knew about, seen photographs... I promise you some guy guarding the installation would have taken a selfie with one of the aliens and sent it to his girlfriend.

North Korea's revised constitution deletes all reunification language and adds a new Article 2 defining its territory as bordering China, Russia, and "the Republic of Korea to the south", formally codifying Kim Jong Un's "two hostile states" doctrine.

It also names Kim head of state with direct nuclear command authority.

Corruption scandals (the $LIBRA crypto crash, Chief of Staff Adorni's illicit enrichment probe, kickback allegations involving his sister) and rising unemployment (7.5%, highest Q4 since COVID) overshadow his macro wins on inflation and the fiscal surplus.

Corruption is now Argentines' top concern at 43%, with disapproval near 62%.
