Before the current escalation, Donald Trump was unequivocal:

• “Completely and totally obliterated.” — June 2025
• “Obliteration is an accurate term!” — June 2025
• “We wiped it out.” — February 2026

Those are claims of finality—not partial damage.

Yet Iran’s nuclear program is again central to conflict. If it was “obliterated” then, what justifies this war?

When I was growing up we tended to celebrate the pagan aspect of Easter, colored eggs, bunnies, chicks, and candy. I’m afraid my parents were lapsed Christians

In that spirit, I found a jazz version of Irving Berlin’s Easter Parade by the Oscar Peterson trio.

Enjoy, Jack

SNAFU is an understatement.

And sometimes a presidential speech full of BS is just a crappy waste of time.
