Looking to weed out the narcissists in your life? Researchers say there's one, hard-to-hide habit the unpalatable personality type finds impossible to break. The way they engage with their smartphones can tell you everything you need to know, new findings reveal " those with narcissistic tendencies are significantly more likely to exhibit problematic patterns of scrolling, posting, and liking social media posts. The data, published in the Journal of Research in Personality, shows that a person's social media behavior could be an indicator that someone is a bit too into themselves. Social media addiction goes beyond heavy usage. It includes behaviors like compulsively checking for updates, being unable to cut back despite negative consequences, and relying on online interactions for emotional satisfaction. The team worked to explore not just whether narcissism and addiction are linked, but how they might influence each other over time.

The last dictator to bomb Iran was Saddam Hussein. Shortly before then, he was gassing civilian Kurds.

Netanyahu is now bombing Iran. Shortly and concurrently with this he is/was murdering civilian Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

Now, to complete the wanna-be dictator trifecta, Trump is bombing Iran. Just a short time ago he was deploying Marines to the streets of Los Angeles to persecute and intimidate people who do not support them.

Do we all see a pattern? Iran is the world's easiest target for wanna-be strong men to show how tough they are.

Truth be told, with it's continuous and ongoing support for international terrorist groups, Iran makes it easy to hate the theocratic regime there and become an instant "hero" by attacking it. Also, ironically, if somehow the USA and Israel do manage to force regime change in Iran, over the SHORT term the world will be a safer, more stable place. But that is like cutting off the head of a hydra. Quickly two more heads will grow to replace the one that has been cut off.

Also, regardless of your politics, it is clear that the US has attempted to target strictly military/nuclear facilities. This was not an attack on Iran's civilian population. I realize that in our liberal hatred of Trump we want to make it seem that this was some out of control maniacal attack. But in this instance that simply does not appear to be the case. It appears to have been a targeted, and so far at least, relatively well thought out attack on what seems to be as legitimate a group of targets as could have been chosen. We shall see.
