That's because it was just two months ago, and it may have encouraged a sense of military adventurism that has led to full-on war with Iran.Today, we are talking about who is currently ruling Iran at present. What are the U.S. goals? And what is likely to happen in the future? Will the regime fall? And if it does, what kind of government would likely replace it?Topics Discussed in this EpisodeUS-Israel Strikes on February 28thThe Death of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and key national security leadershipIranian Succession Options and U.S. Endgame.Articles and Resources Mentioned in EpisodeAmerica's attack on Iran turns a taboo into a method (Steve Simon, The Economist)The Folly of Attacking Iran (Nick Kristoff; NY Times)John Bolton Sounds the Alarm on Trump's Iran Gamble (Politico)Send a textFollow Us Show Website: www.kelloggsglobalpolitics.com Show Twitter: @GlobalKellogg Anita's Twitter: @arkellogg Show YouTube

Willkommen zur neuen Ausgabe von Chip & Charge dieses Mal mit dem Turnier aus Rom. Hier konnte Carlos Alcaraz seine Ausgangsposition vor Rolland Garros nochmal verbessern und Jasmine Paolini den bisher größten Titel ihrer Karriere gewinnen. Paolini spielte gutes wenn auch kein überragendes Tennis in Rom und doch manövrierte sie sich immer wieder aus schwierigen Situationen raus. So stand am Ende ein Sieg im Finale gegen Coco Gauff. Im Viertelfinale hatte Paolini ein fast schon sicher verlorenes Match gegen Diana Shnaider umgebogen. Auch Coco Gauff war auf dem Weg ins Endspiel an einer sehr engen Partie beteiligt.

Clay season is underway, and we've seen a Runeaissance, a re-Alcarization, a Penkopalypse even. Stuttgart -- always reliable -- brought a stunning quarterfinal lineup and a surprise winner, while Holger reminded the class that there's still tons of time to fulfill his promise. There's much tennis business to talk about, including the first hearing in the PTPA antitrust suit and Opelka's testimony; Lesia Tsurenko's lawsuit against the WTA and Steve Simon; and a somewhat voyeuristic ITIA press release. Plus, Dart's out of left field comment, Shelly Ann clearing the field, and wondering what happened in that Met Gala bathroom meeting.

Hour 3: Scott Korzenowski is in for Jason. Why does he agree with RFK's plan to tackle processed food? And who's being warned about where NOT to travel? Then he talks with MN Secretary of State Steve Simon about a court ruling in favor of signatures on absentee ballots.

Dean Phillips, when asked about his reaction to Tina Smith not running for reelection next year, took the opportunity to tell us Rep. Angie Craig should run for the seat and Secretary of State Steve Simon should run for Governor. Excellent stuff from Dean on that and much more from the political world.

www.commsolutionsmn.com The DFL is still not showing  up to the MN Legislature. They violated the MN constitution. They broke MN statutes. Not only are they not legally sworn in, but they continue to refuse to come to work. They MN Supreme Court disregarded the constitution and the law to side with the DFL. Secretary of State, Steve Simon, is also refusing to follow the law and go get the absent lawmakers upon request. The local media has been covering for them. Governor Walz has been silent (no surprise). Will the Republicans hold? We sure hope so. What's with all of the airplane crashes? Are they operator error or is air traffic control filled with DEI hires that are underqualified for the job? It's no secret that Mayor Pete was awful at his job and that the Department of Transportation is in shambles. We're not very far into the Trump administration, but the news is fast and furious. He has had four years to plan this moment and he is taking full advantage of the political winds being in his favor. He ended birthright citizenship, setting off a firestorm around the 14th amendment to the constitution. What does "subject to the jurisdiction of the United States" mean? That is the argument that President Trump's position hangs on. Are children of non-citizens subject to the jurisdiction of the US or their parents' country of origin? This may end up at the Supreme Court. The president moved to drill like crazy and refill our strategic reserves. He removed all of the green energy mandates that had taken away the ability of oil to compete for a share of the market. Tom Homan was empowered to go get illegal alien criminals and deport them or send them to Guantanamo Bay. He went to work right away and began to round up criminals. We are on our way to making America great again, and I don't know if anyone can stop it.

News media continues to favor Trump; DC plane tragedy; Cliff Schecter visits the show; state GOP tries to sue Steve Simon; academic scores still struggling; man who critically injured a teen gets probation; Greg Bakun also stops in to discuss Doctor Who.
