Unfortunate situation. I’m glad that BYU moved on it quickly. Wonder where Retzlaff will end up… He will have to learn a whole new offense in 2 months. That ain’t easy. Will seriously hinder his chances in the NFL draft. And interested to see what will happen with BYU. I bet Bear Bachmeier. I wouldn’t mind seeing Ryder Lyons forgo his HS Senior year and enter into BYU early…

My 401K is looking good ATM. And a barrel of crude is down to $65. Just in time for Summer vacation! The market is a good indicator of world stability.

They probably got some of these on those trucks. But no way they got 1,000. Probably a good thing there wasn’t a few organized Elder’s quorums in the area…

As of May 17, 2025, Iran had a stockpile of 408.6 kg of uranium enriched to 60% purity, according to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). This was an increase of 133.8 kg from the previous IAEA report in February 2025, when the stockpile was approximately 274.8 kg. Regarding whether Iran “trucked it out,” there is evidence suggesting Iran moved its 60% enriched uranium stockpile to a secret location before U.S. and Israeli strikes on its nuclear facilities in June 2025. Satellite imagery from Maxar Technologies showed 16 cargo trucks near the Fordow facility’s entrance two days before the U.S. strikes on June 13, 2025, indicating a possible “frantic effort” to relocate materials, potentially including the enriched uranium. The IAEA’s Rafael Grossi noted that the stockpile was last verified by UN inspectors about a week before Israel’s attacks began, and its current whereabouts are unverified due to restricted access. Iran claimed it smuggled most of its highly enriched uranium to a secret location before the strikes. However, some analysts, like Ronen Solomon, suggest that even if moved, the uranium’s utility is limited without functional centrifuges, which were heavily damaged in the strikes. The exact location of the stockpile remains uncertain, and the IAEA has called for inspections to account for it. With functional centrifuges (e.g., 1,000 IR-6 centrifuges), Iran could enrich its 408.6 kg of 60% uranium to 90% in 1-2 months to produce enough for one or two weapons (25-50 kg total). Without sufficient centrifuges, the process could take much longer or be infeasible until infrastructure is restored. There was a good reason that Israel and Trump acted.

yup, the comment was an attempt at humor. Israel set up Trump for an easy win. Russia-Ukraine is a freakin quagmire. DNTWATFP Do Not Touch With A Ten Foot Pole And I doubt that this Ceasefire will keep. Israel and Iran will likely keep fighting.

Maybe Trump should send some bombers to Russia too? Spread some world peace while we are at it.

Reports out that the ayatollah, his family and senior leadership are preparing to flee the country.

And Israel is destroying the guard posts of the Iranian prisons holding political prisoners. /chuckle

Since World War II, no formal declarations of war have been issued, but Presidents have initiated over 125 military actions without prior congressional approval, relying on Article II powers, AUMFs, or emergency justifications. Examples include Korea (1950), Vietnam (1960s-70s), and recent strikes in Yemen and Syria.

We dropped 14 GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator 30K pound bombs and 30 tomahawks. Iran sent 10 missiles with a forewarning. Not really equivalent. Hezbollah has been noticeably silent. I can read the room.

Never was WW3. Iran’s current regime has been decimated. The tools for refining Uranium have been destroyed. Hopefully, the people of Iran can take back their country and become a democratic land of freedom. I like the USA attack. Israel paved the way for us to finish the job.

The war is over. Iran just warned us about an incoming barrage of missiles into our military base in Qatar. All were intercepted and Iran spent a great deal of time apologizing to the Qatar nation. Qatar has reserved the right to respond in equivalent force.

I don’t really have an allegiance to the cultural aspect of the Church. Some of my family’s best church memories were during COVID when we had Sacrament meetings in our home. And I didn’t spend a second watching this boy’s hour long declaration of weakness. Everything I needed to know came from the title and screen shot. Jesus Christ guides this Church. Not man. “choose you this day whom ye will serve⁠; … but as for me and my house⁠, we will serve the Lord⁠.”

Just got mine. The digital code refreshes every 30 seconds or so to prevent misuse / copying of Temple recommend.

We are spiritual beings having a physical experience. In my opinion, the architect has a much greater effect than the carpenter.

You can trust this guy.

“Your species is evolving that rapidly. Remarkable, perhaps while we are sitting here you will grow additional limbs, or develop the ability to breathe under water?”

AI is just a tool. The real problem is dis-information and outright lies. It’s no wonder that lies are Lucifer’s tool of choice. When I read Lehi’s dream and Nephi’s interpretation, I had the impression that the river was filthy due to lies and dis-information. When water comes from a natural spring or fountain, it is pure and clear, like the truth. But the river becomes filthy due to the pollution. The tree of life is no doubt nurtured by the river and it’s roots are powerful enough to filter out the filth and be strong and whole. God is the source of all truth. We have the Light of Christ and the Gift of the Holy Ghost to assist us to filter out the filth. Everyone still has to drink. Just look at the recent unpleasantness of the last election when we were told repeatedly about the brilliance of the Democratic leadership. It wasn’t challenging to wittiness Joe Biden’s dementia and Kamala Harris’s word salad nonsense. It seemed obvious to many of us, yet a huge group of the population believed the lies and disinformation. (I don’t think that Trump is the source of all truth either…) We all have a portable water filter. We just have to use it. When people drink deeply from the river without using a filter they become poisoned. AI is just another source of water. You still have to use your filter. It would be a huge mistake to assume that AI is a safe filter.

Yup, I kinda use this forum as my personal journal of doctrine musings. I just go to google, enter mikbone and the topic and get a results (after I tell google every single time that, yes I meant mikbone not milkbone…) Anyway for about the last year the results have been less than satisfactory.

https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/general-conference/2024/10/47eyring?lang=eng The important / eternal / core Doctrine of Jesus Christ is simple. Core doctrine is what our testimonies should be built upon. Core doctrine is unmistakable. It is reinforced repeatedly in scripture, modern revelation, and personal revelation. Esoteric ‘doctrine’ is not important, rarely alluded to, confusing, and should never be one’s foundation of testimony.
