Selections from Trump in afternoon press conference and evening speech:

Reporter: "You just suggested that Iran somehow got its hands on a Tomahawk and bombed its own elementary school…but you're the only person in your government saying this…Why are you the only person saying this?"

Trump: "Because I just don't know enough about it."

Reporter: “You said the war is 'very complete.' But your defense secretary says 'this is just the beginning.' So which is it?

Trump: “You could say both.”

Trump on talking to naval commanders after they sank many Iranian ships: "I said, 'Why don't we just capture the ship? We could use it. Why did we sink them?' He said, 'It's more fun to sink them.' They like sinking them better."

"No other president can do some of this shit I'm doing. No other president. The things I’m doing."

On launching the war: “We took a little excursion because we felt we had to do that to get rid of some evil.”

"I watch Schumer. What a horrible politician. He is now a Palestinian officially. He is registered as a Palestinian. He wants to protect the Iranian people that are quite nasty."

Still, there’s some hope. A new Quinnipiac shows that by 53% to 40% Americans oppose military action against Iran. By 74% to 20%, Americans oppose sending ground groups into Iran. By 59% to 38%, they believe Trump should have received approval from Congress before attacking Iran.

But, from NY Times:

A Beirut Hotel Sheltering the Displaced Comes Under Fire

A Christian hotel owner opened her doors to Shiite Muslims fleeing Israel’s bombardment of the southern outskirts of Beirut. Then an Israeli missile struck the hotel, killing her 34-year-old receptionist.

As a member of the Sir Douglas Quintet and with Doug Sahm and then the Texas Tornados, Augie Meyers, who has passed away, played organ and accordian on numerous hits but his two organ lines on “She’s About a Mover” and “Mendocino” will last until the end of time.
