    AI report on Iran’s missile capability. Good news.

    As of March 9, 2026, Iran has significantly reduced its ballistic missile attacks against Israel, with daily launches dropping to fewer than 20, down from roughly 90 on the first day of the conflict. This sharp decline, representing an estimated 90% drop, is largely due to Israeli airstrikes destroying over 60-75% of Iran’s missile launchers. 

    Key Details on Reduced Missile Activity

    • Declining Volume: After an initial surge, the daily rate of missile fire has decreased to roughly 20-25 per day, with smaller, sporadic salvos rather than large barrages.
    • Destroyed Infrastructure: The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have successfully targeted and destroyed approximately 70-75% of Iran’s, or its proxies’, operational ballistic missile launchers.
    • Shift in Tactics: Due to limited launcher availability, Iran is using fewer missiles per attack to conserve its remaining arsenal.
    • Ongoing Threat: Despite the decrease in volume, Iran continues to launch missiles and has increasingly used cluster munitions to target areas, maintaining a persistent threat.
    • Lowered Impact: The smaller, less frequent, and staggered, attacks allow Israeli defense systems (e.g., Iron Dome) to intercept them more effectively, reducing the overall threat level to, in some reports, more of an “annoyance” than a major danger.

  10. “Island in the Sky” is a largely forgotten film in the disaster/survival genre, but its worth watching if you haven’t seen it. A transport plane on route from Greenland to Maine gets into a storm, ice forms on wings, they have to emergency land on a frozen lake in remote Labrador Canada. Then they have to fight for survival while waiting for the rescue pilots to find them. Starring John Wayne, in a somewhat non-Wayne-like role, and several Hollywood favorites like Andy Devine, Paul Fix, James Arness, Lloyd Nolan, Harry Carey Jr, Sean McClory and others.

    Gone With the Wind was a good movie. One of the few I have paid to go see several more times. I got a different perspective each time I have watched it as to how I viewed the various key actors/actresses.

    Obama appointed “conservative judges”?

    Who knew?

    “One year into this administration, it is plain that President Trump and his top aides have chafed at the limits on their power set forth by law and the Constitution,” Brann concluded.

    The ruling by Brann, a conservative judge appointed by President Barack Obama, followed an earlier ruling that the Trump administration had illegally maneuvered to keep loyalist Alina Habba — Trump’s former personal lawyer — in place as a U.S. attorney after her interim appointment expired.”
