Note that WSJ doesn't mention the first attack, on May 1, the one that led to Pennington's death. It infuriates me his death has just fallen by the wayside, bc 1) there was a delay evacuating him to Germany and 2) I bet good money others were seriously injured.

Iran is having a lot of success hitting Prince Sultan. First strike took out radar-related facilities and injured Benjamin Pennington (probably others) leading to his death. Second took out 5 refueling tankers. This one injured 10 and damaged probably 5 tankers. www.wsj.com/livecoverage...

For all those wondering:

“USC 333 - Paper Currency
This is the big one. It says anyone who “mutilates, cuts, defaces, disfigures, or perforates” a bank bill (that means your cash) with intent to render it unfit for reissue can be fined or jailed for up to six months.

The magic words? “With intent to render it unfit.” That’s what makes the difference.”

I think that wealthy people also don't want to fund progressive media outlets that will investigate and criticize the wealthy. they may have other excuses or even reasons, but I think that's a major disincentive.

It’s always interesting to see which subjects Meta will refuse to do content moderation on because “free speech,” and which content moderation the CEO will volunteer to do in advance to curry favor
