Israel

As the world moves closer to the brink of a potential all-out conflict, there are rumors that the Israeli military is about to retaliate against Iran after missile and drone attacks over the weekend. Curiously, 2 US Air Force 'doomsday planes' took flight over Missouri on Monday just in case.

Perspective matters. There's a new graphic that compares the size of the land of Israel compared to Missouri and it's startling to say the least.

I'm not normally a big fan of "This Day in History" blogs.  Everyone knows that July 4th is a special day.  And, most are also probably aware of all the gift-giving that happens on December 25th.  What about June 5th?  Sure, something important happened today.  As it turns out, not so much.
