...“And to hear people outside this saying ‘we want to buy this land’, you can’t even describe how wrong it is because it’s not in our culture, it’s not in our mentality. You don’t own people. You don’t own land... That does not mean they rule out collaboration with the US – or other countries for that matter – though. There is a sense that the renewed US interest could…

Hegseth’s views on women in combat, infidelity and more — in his own words – Los Angeles Times

He complains in his latest book that “woke” generals and the leaders of the elite service academies have left the military dangerously weak and “effeminate” by promoting DEI. He says, “the next commander in chief will need to clean house.” “Turns out, all the ‘diversity’ recruiting messages made certain kids — white kids — feel like they’re not wanted,” he said in his book.

When Spring Came/وقتی بهار آمد – A Voice from Iran

Winter was going away. Ali’s father brought home a young peach tree, as it was Ali’s favourite fruit. Little Ali helped his father to plant the young tree in their small garden. Every day Ali checked the tree and watered it. He was hoping that in the spring, his tree would give him thousands of great peaches. Spring came, but Ali’s tree just had a few pink blossoms.
