Is Iran About To Fall? January 8, 2026.

Locator: 49846IRAN..

Mars mission: 6- to 9-month mission for manned spacecraft to get to Mars. 

Yesterday, NASA launched a manned mission; was canceled less than 48 hours later due to mysterious medical mystery. Yeah, we're going to send a manned mission to Mars. LOL. Influenza? Covid? Herpes? NASA won't say. More and more I feel strongly that public officials give up their right to medical privacy in most situations; there may be exceptions but I don't know what they would be.

Iran: is Iran about to fall? Link here. Folks are asking the wrong question: they're asking if Iran could fall this year, or 2027? In fact, if Iran doesn't fall in next five days, it won't fall.

Minnesota: outcome still not known. Surprisingly, not getting much national attention, from what I can tell. Franchised McDonald's puts up sign saying ICE not welcome. Quickly taken down. That speaks volumes. McDonald's: IYKYK. And McDonald's knows. Somalis welcome. ICE not. Doesn't play well in Peoria. 

Tariffs: Chief Justice will up-end the GOP again. Never quits. But Congress had the opportunity to make this discussion moot but did not.
