American Fact of the Day!
We don’t have an official language: Most people assume English is the official language of the United States but the truth is, although that might be the case in many of the states, the federal government has never declared an official language.

Man Suspected of Killing Jewish Man Paul Kessler is Loay Alnaji, a Computer Science Professor
In an earlier report about the death of Paul Kessler, the California man who was attacked by pro-Hamas agitators at a protest on Sunday, we noted that through our investigative work we'd identified the person we believe struck Kessler with a megaphone was a local college professor who was involved with that school's Muslim Student Association.

The Yakhont is the export version of the Russian P-800 Oniks cruise missile, which carries the NATO identifier SS-N-26 "Strobile."
With these numbers, it would seem that the prudent course of action for the United States Navy's two carrier groups in the eastern Med is simple: Stay more than 186 miles offshore, where the Hezbollah missiles (assuming they are telling the truth about possessing these weapons) cannot reach…
But the Navy's F/A-18 Super Hornets most assuredly can reach Hezbollah, should that prove necessary.
What irregular groups like Hezbollah can do is draw more modern forces into nasty, block-by-block urban combat, where much of the high-tech advantage is neutralized; but the Israel Defense Forces seem to be handling that as well as anyone could expect...
